NationStates Jolt Archive

My nation is about a month old and I have spent that whole time building an army and shopping for equpment. I am eager to get into some combat and test my army out. However, I have never RP'd before so I want to wet my feet a little. So, just a few things:

1) No serious godmodding please, let's try and keep this fair
2) The combat is for the n00bs like me. :lol: The maximum age is about one or two months. Around there, no big deal. However, I am asking the experienced RPers to sign up as advisors so you can offer some criticism.
3) The maximum number of players will be 10, so we can keep things small and even. I'd like three or four advisors.
4) This is a MOCK WAR. Feel free to join as no retribution will be acted on the loser and all bullets and warheads will be filled with paint. No one will die. Come on and join. This will be fun :D

I'll check back a little while, all you'll need to say is that you're in and we'll go from there. Once you sign up, compile a list of what your army has and mabye combat will begin tomorrow or Thursday. Let's have some fun :P

*BUMP* (Gee, this board moves fast)!

*Bump* Come on people! Join up!

Hey. Wassup. I'll join, as it seems no one else is. Hope I'm not too old to participate. Here are where my units are: http://www.freewebs.com/samtonia/currentmilitary.htm
Enjoy!

I'll Join!

I am also Cheese Co so don't be scared if Cheese Co talks instead of The Meaball Empire.

*BUMP* I always wanted to do that :lol:

I'm looking at the site mentioned above and I'm just thinking "HOLY CRAP!" I thought I was getting pretty advanced by finding out my budget and putting 4% of the towards my military.

Is there a place where you can mock-buy all that equipment or do you just make up prices and how much you bought?

tag

Let's pretend I have an actual military to speak of. :D The last thread I made concerning my country(the only one I've made) is for Keepers Pst to get modernized from sticks and stones to guns and such. ^.^ Maybe it'll have gotten modernized by now...But I have no thread or whatever saying what I have in my army, navy, or air force...

Hmm, I need help...

I'd like to join up. Sounds like a good place to start Nationstates RP. I'll upload my various Nationstates files and post again when I've finished. If I'm godmodding, please tell me and I'll try and fix the problem.

Catalien- I made a list of things I wanted and figured out their cost in current day dollars. The only non-realistic things are the body armor and the Koshi and T-7 tanks. Other than that, all the rest of the quipment is real. As for getting equipment, you can go buy from storefronts or produce the stuff yourself.

http://members.fortunecity.com/remora/nationstates.html is where it's at. And with that, I go to sleep. Se ya'll in the morning.

Ok. I'm glad to see that people joined up! I didn't really want to bump this again. So far, the current members are:

1. Samtonia
2. Meatball Empire/Cheese Co
3. Kuratshia
4. Keepers Post *
5. Catilean State *
6. Bulova York (my ally, sent a TM)
7. Majesto (Wow! What do you know?)

* Keepers Post - You're nation is about two weeks old. Depending on your economy and population, you should have about 30,000 troops and 15-20 tanks. This is role play, so it is safe to assume that you nation's army is grown over time. A lot of this game is imagination, depending on how you want to play.

* Catilean State - I mock buy all of my equipment but you can do a little of both. Look above, but in actuality, some things do happen without the president's direct approval. The army grows and modernized by itself. If you are looking for cheap, high quality products to buy, contact Bulova York by telegram. I bought ALL of my equpiment from him, tell him that Majesto sent you and mabye he might cut you a deal - but I'm not him so...

Anyhow: These seven members have signed up and am looking forward to some war. The signing up for play is CLOSED. All further posts should be made by the seven of us or any experienced RPers wishing to give advice.

I'll look over all the military pages now and will post my own specs in a little while. The actuall combat will begin tomorrow.

http://www.webspawner.com/users/flah0890/index.html


Well, I decided to upgrade to a webpage and get rid of that gigantic post. Anyhow, I see that I'm up against some fierce competition. The rule on army size is: you can use what you have w/o nukes. This will be like a real war, so whatever equipment you have, you can use. For some of the nations concerned with army size, don't worry. I'm going to make teams so a spreadsheet would be nice. I'm going to post a map up of the terrain so that you can make a plan if you choose. Please check back soon - save the url as this thread gets scrolled of pretty quickly.

* BUMP FOR COMMENTS *

All of Samtonia's military forces are en-route as we speak. ETA- 6 hours.

Kurashita has finished moving to a (simulated) state of emergency. The military is on red alert, and has been refitted with paint rounds. We're ready.

I'll come on as an advisor

Sorry for not posting lately. It's just that my region is invading and I'm the Director of Internal Security, so I've been pretty busy the last few days preping the region for an invadsion.

Welcome aboard Tappee. That should do it for advisors and all. Anyhow, I'm going to alert the other participants and then post a map and make teams. As it stands now, I think that I'm going to make this a little interesting. Here's the background info for this war. IC FROM NOW ON.
_____________________________________________________________

Majesto National TV News: "After a long and eventful day here in Flaherty City, the government will be holding a news conference to brief us on the events from an undisclosed location. Oh, it looks like the conference will be starting now...

Sergeant-At-Arms: "All rise for our Most Supreme Dictator, Daniel Flaherty."

Dictator Dan: "Please be seated. This afternoon, at around three o' clock a squad of fifty terrorists attempted to storm the goventment compound in downtown Flaherty City. They had secret opratives plant C-4 explosives on part of the security wall boardering National Avenue some time during the morning. Upon detonation, a rental van and three private cars sped in through the opening. Luckly, a Home Guard was able to sound the alarm contact the on duty commander. A fierce firefight ensued between the thirty Home Guards within the compound and the terrorists. Sadly, fifteen guards were mowed down by heavy automatic weapon fire. It is believed that five of the guards never stood a chance, their own automatic weapons were at their sides. The other ten guards attempted to flank the intruders but we killed after fireing about one hundered rounds. The guns in question were Kuratshian made gatling guns.

The other fifteen guards took up defensive positions around my palace. Thankfully, they were able to keep the palace fairly clear as other Home Guards, which I may add for those unfamiliar with my nation, are the my private police force which also provide police protection for Flaherty City. During the melee however, ten terrorists did made it into the palace. Five were shot by the outside guards, three more were killed by my own enterauge and the other two gave up. Once the majority of the guards were on site, the invasion was quashed. Now, if I may, I wish to have a moment of silence for those Home Guards who died while protecting their nation........ I also wish to thank all the Home Guards who responded to that fatefull call.

Now, from those two insurgents that we captured... They were also in posession of Kuratshian made weapons and they were found carrying Kuratshian passposts. Because of this, I have declared war on Kuratshia and her ally, Samtonia. The rental car was paid for using Samtonian currency. As of now, I am also declairing martial law in Flaherty City. The Rapid Deploy Unit is enroute to the outskirts of Kuratshia. All General Assaulters and Reserve Soldiers will be reporting for duty tomorrow. The Mechanized Division is fueling up and the Airborne Division is ready for take off. To the President of Kuratshia: You will never be able to invade my nation and try to kill me. I will not rest until I have your head! To the President of Samtonia: You allied with Kuratshia and provided money. Your forces will not be coming back. Ok, we're done here. Goodbye."

Sergeant-At-Arms: "This concludes this press conference. All are dismissed."

OOC:

BTW: I forgot to say that OOC comments on my story skills are welcome! By all means, go ahead and post some comments. This goes for the whole war.

Kaiser Dweebeth III walked into his secret conference room.
"We Must help Majesto. This is rediculous the terrorist slobs must be stopped! I cannot stand this! I have seen this to many times before!" The Kaiser Screamed at the military officials.
" But sir maybe we should side with the terrorists they seem nice." the general said
"Good idea General!" The kaiser then pulled out a gun and shot the general in the head killing him instantly " Now... does anyone oppose me?"
"NO YOUR MAJESTY!!!"
"Exelent!"the kaiser said while chuckling "state to me our forces"
"Leopard 3 Heavy Tank 100 B-2 Stealth Bomber 20 AH-64A/D Attack Helicopter 100 Enterprise Class Aircraft Carrier 3 U-212 Submarine 5 Bradenburg Class Frigate (Type 123) 4 Arleigh Burke Class Missile Destroyer 10 B-52 Bomber 10 MiG-33 Fighter/Bomber Jet 5 F/A-18 Hornet 4 M1A2 AbramMain Battle Tank 5 T-90 Main Battle Tank 10 A-10 Thunderbolt 100 25 Euro copters M-tiger 5" a man said in the back of the room
"Send them to the borders of Kuratshia!" the Kaiser screamed
OOC: the amount of the units are after there names sorry!

Yea chablee was me

Sharing is caring, it can beee....
(Insert tense, choppy music)
"We interrrupt this program for breaking news. At 0700 this morning, President Samuel Irwin issued this statement to both our people and the nations of the world."(Cut to news clip)
"My fellow Samtonians! We are at a crisis point. The rouge nation Majesto and its dictator, Daniel Flaherty, have callously declared war on our great and illustrious nation. The events leading up to this were top secret, but have been released to you, the public, for your information. About two months ago, we provided our ally Kuratshia with money and weapons for their national defense. Unknown to us, a renegade leader within Kuratshia used these gifts to fund a terrorist cell. This cell had the ultimate intention of taking out the vile dictator Daniel Flaherty. Though we support the overthrow of him, we were attempting to negotiate it through peaceful means. No more. As soon as the attack was thwarted, the nation of Majesto declared war on both us and our ally. We see no way but to respond in full. From this point onwards, our nation is at war. All trade is to be stopped with both Majesto and her allies. As we speak, Majestoan citizens are being rounded up and being deported. We have deployed the military and are calling up the forces of outr national guard. A number of sacrifices must be made by all. As of this point forwards, I am instituting the national draft. All Samtonian citizens between the ages of 18-40 are to be ready to be drafted at any time. Rationing will take place, as well as a number of other cutbacks on non-military spending. Know this however- Samtonia will triumph and make the world safer for peace loving peoples everywhere!"
(Back to announcer)
"In related news, nearly half of Samtonia's military has set out for Kuratshia to protect our ally from the imperialistic warmongering of Majesto. Now, back to our program."

Bulova York is here to honor it's allie (Supreme Dictator Dan of Majesto)

Bulova York is sending 4 Ships

1 VSTOL Carrier w/2 Fighter Wings(36 Planes)

1 Troop Transport w/ 2,500 Marines

1 Guided Missle Destroyer w/ ICBM

1 Oiler Ship

This is just a display, but if you attack Majesto, you will pay the price.

You have been WARNED.

Captain Joshua Holbrook
Bulova York 8th Fleet

----0600 hours----Unknown location at sea----1st Fleet----SNS Protector---
The ship slowly rocked with the waves. The men aboard were nervous, but ready- They had been preparing for an event like this for years. As the massive fleet slowly moved forwards, the sight of Samtonian aircraft flying overhead to Kurashita, to defend the peaceful nation from the pending invasion by Majesto. The ships around the Cruiser were full of soldiers, all ready to die for their country.

----0750 hours----Majesto waters--- 1st Sub naval group---SSNS Destructor-----
"Periscope down!" yelled skipper Edwin Natumby. "Weaopons officer, I want a full spread. Fire tubes 1-4 at that merchant ship!"
"Aye sir. Tube one- away. Tube two- away. Tube three- away. Tube four- away."
The bridge crew of the attack sub stared at the radar screen. THeir torpedoes straked towards the vessel, caught unawares by their attack. All over the sector, other subs were doing the same thing. 'Majesto won't be able to feed their citizens.' thought the skipper. 'Oh well. They declared war.'

----0650 hours----Skies above Majesto----1st, 2nd, and 3rd Grand Bomber Wings
The bombers flew on. They were at an altitude higher than most anything could reach, to assure their safety. Over 900 planes flew this mission. Some had been selected to destroy radar statons, others munitions storage facilities and warehouses. The various flights began to peel off from one another, and soon bombs were raining down on Majesto.

OOC- Well, here we come. The forces leaving Samtonia are:
1st Special forces army-400,000
1st and 2nd Engineering Corps- 160,000
1st, 2nd, and 3rd Infantry Army Groups- 3,600,000
1st MAV Army Group-120,000 vehicles
1st Light Tank Army group- 120,000 vehicles
1st and 2nd MBT corps- 80,000 vehicles
1st SAM army- 40,000 vehicles
1st Artillery Army Group- 120,000 vehicles
These are all heading for Kurashita.

1st Fleet-120 ships
1st and 2nd Transport Fleet- 240 ships
1st and 2nd submersible attack fleets- 240 ships
The subs are attacking shipping and the rest of the navy is taking troops to Kurashita.

3 Bomber Grand wings- 960 planes
1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Fighter Divisions- 5120 planes
1st attack helo division- 1,280 helos
1st and 2nd transport helo grand wings- 640 helos

The bombers are bombing targets in Majesto and the rest are flying to Kurashita to protect it.

All the rest of my army, navy, and air-force are defending my country and naval lanes. In addition, the national guard, numbering 5 million, has been called up and a draft may be instated shortly.

After watching the National News, the dictator got up and began to pace around in his tiny emergency bunker like a caged dragon. "Who in God's name do these people think they are?" He was talking to himself. "How dare them call me an imperialistic warmonger. They will die. GENERAL!"

"Yes your highness!" proclaimed the commander of the forces.

"You listen to me and you listen good. This is what we're going to do. I have my Special Assaulters and General Assaulters marching twoard Kuratshia, ok. We're going to have the Special Assaulters set up in the Kuratshian Hills. They'll morter the road and hold back the Kuratshians for a while. Send the Rapid Deployment Unit twoard Samtonia. We will wage a war on two fronts. We'll split the General Assaulters half and half. (Under his breath, he begins to mumble 'How dare that son of a ***** call me a warmonger. I'll have his head for dinner.')

"Sir, that's not a good idea. We don't have enought troops for that. I think that we should..."

"DID I ASK FOR YOUR OPINION?"

"But sir, we may not wi..."

"SHUT UP YOU USELESS BUM! DO WHAT I SAY OR LEAVE!"

The general took off his shoulder tab and placed it on the table. "I quit. I will not be part of this insane dictatorship." At this time, all the people in the bunker swung around and stared.

"WHAT! HOW DARE YOU!" Dan pulled out a small revolver and fired two shots into the back of his head. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU PEOPLE LOOKING AT?"

*********

OOC: Meatball Empire, Bulova York, I'm going to post about you're troops later. I didn't forget... I had to take care of that general. :twisted:

"Captain" "Yes Mr. President" " Use any and all means to destroy the enemy"

Wait further orders

OOC: my advise for a good RP is to focus on individuals characters, not the entire war. For Example you may choose to follow the exploits of a specific squad, not an entire army. For example what do you think is more exciting?

a. Lieutenant Robert dive yells out to the other members of squad to take cover as enemy snipers fire on their position.

b. Send 100 tanks and 300 marine to said location I lose 5 tank and 42 marines.

It has been my experience that RP that focus on the people fighting the war do much better.

IC:

There was a knock on the door that caused Jon to look up from his paper work.

“Come in” he yelled out to the person of the other side.

Shortly there after the door opened and Harold Armstrong walked in and took a seat across from Jon. Armstrong was Tappee Foreign Minster, and with everything that was going in Tappee right now he was a rather busy man. Harold was a few years older then Jon, Harold admired Jon greatly, even thought the two had only know each other for a short time.

“How Jade doing?” asked Harold, Jade Allenson was the Director of Tappee’s intelligence agency, she had just lost her husband, and was still dealing with the loss.

Jon let out a bit of a sigh “She taking a bit hard. However, she throwing her self into her work, and just trying to get the job done” Jon paused for a moment and look Harold over “I really doubt that you came here to talk about Jade.”

Harold shift about his chair uncomfortable, he hate dealing with these Intelligence Types. Jon like every President before him was once a member of the First X Tappee intelligence Service. Like most intelligence agents it was always hard to hide things from Jon. “Your right, there a situation developing in Majesto”

Jon couldn’t remember reading any report about a situation in Majesto “what kind of situation?”

Reaching into his brief case Harold handed Jon a folder “Early this afternoon there was an attack on a Government compound in Flaherty, according to the Majesto Government the attackers used Kuratshian weapons and Samtonia currency. This discovery has caused the Majesto Government to declare war on Kuratshia, and we believe that Samtonia will come the Kuratshia’s aid.”

Sitting back in his chair Jon thought about his options. With the new against Steel Butterfly his option where limited. Nearly have of Tappee’s military was engaged against Imperial Forces, committing more else where would put the safety of Tappee into question. He took a moment to read the report the Harold had given him over, it would help him come up with a plan.

“Alright, I’m going talk to Jade see if she can have some of her people look into this, and confirm that it was indeed Kuratshia that launched the attack. I’m going to send Two Squads from the Second X in to protect our embassy’s in both Majesto and Kuratshia. Issue a travel advisory telling all Tappee Citizens on both countries to leave, or head to the Embassy’s. I want you too contact both government and tell them that our forces are there only to protect the embassy’s and will not engage in hostile activities unless forced too, and that we will hold each country accountable for the safety of our embassy’s”

Harold nodded “Ok I’ll get right on it”

The last thing Jon want was to get dragged into another war, he could I’ll afford to fight a war on multiple fronts.

Lt. John Henderson a new Marine(but not new to the Corps) His father had served in the Corps for 29 years(and made General at that)

This was Lt. Henderson's first real taste at combat. He had been ordered into Kuratshia with his Marine Battlion, A young guy of only 21 he was in charge of 45 of the best and brightest his country had to offer.

Propped Up against a MBTIII Tank, he light a cigarette craving for some action. Just then I enemy Fighter Bomber makes a surprise low level attack run, dropping 2000lbs of Napam on his platoon. In that instance 29 of his young troopers are killed, by this foolish piolt.

From that moment on, there would be no mercy for anyone.

Dan was once again watching the TV news. The news had intereuppted all channels with a special report.

[Insert Emergency Alert Tone]

"This is not a test. All people in Flaherty City - do not go outside. A state of emergency has been declaired. The city is under attacks. Stay away from the windows DO NOT GO OUTSIDE. The president will be coming on air shortly with a special report."

*******

Dan picked up the red phone. It was a direct link to Bulova York.

"Mr. President, I can't thank you enough! You saved my city. Sadly though, the bombers hit a residential area and killed many people. This will be total war. They killed my people and I will kill theirs. Do not inade the beach! In fact, move your forces back. I will bomb them first."

The entire airborne division lifted off the ground and was headed twoard their capital city. "HAHAHA! I will get revenge. I refuse to back down, I will win."

********

Meanwhile, 45,000 General Assaulters (all of them) marched twoard Samtonia.

*Command Post
B.Y.N Carrier Tigershark*

Captian Joshua Holbrook

Captain Holbrook was everything that you would want in a commander, young, tall, blond, and the damn near best naval knowledge out of anyone alive.

"29 Marines Killed?" the Captain asked plainly "Yes Sir all in my platoon" Lt. John replied. "Well son the only thing I can do is arrange a firing mission to track and destroy that piolt." Well that do" Lt. John waited for a second by the headset, debating the issues at hand "No Sir, A firing mission is not needed."" We can hold our postion, till more members of our company come up from the HQ" Confused the Captain replied with a simple "Ok" "Lt. John Out"

Captian Joshua H. picks up the black phone on the desk " Mr. Supreme Leader Sir" making sure he didn't offend the great leader of Majesto.

"Would you like a Fighter Escort on your way to Samtonia I can provide you with 45 Planes to escort your men"

"And kind sir I give you greetings from our President who is most pleased with his friendship."

BEACH INVASION CANCELLED


The Beach Invasion of Samtonia has been posponed till further noticed

Press Release from the government of the Commonwealth of Catalien States:

Due to the escalating crisis after the events yesterday in Flaherty City, the Commonwealth of Catalien States has mobilized all active military personnel. By 1200 ET Sunday, all 50 000 should be fully available for duty. This includes 30 000 foot soldiers with M-16s, 50 T-90 tanks (each with a crew of 3), and 25 MiG 29s, as well as various medical, engineering, intelligence, military police, support, and logistical staff associated with the CCS military. Letters of training have also been sent to the approximately 200 000 members of the Militia Reserve.

This action was prompted by the failed terrorist attack of Dictator Flaherty yesterday, and Majesto's subsequent declarations of war on the nations of Kuratshia and Samtonia. Bulova York followed Majesto's lead due to their alliance with that nation, and the Meatball Empire also threw their support behind Majesto.

Let it be made clear that at this point in time, the Commonwealth of Catalien States is NOT in a state of war with any other nation. The government, however, strongly condemns the terrorist attack on Flaherty City, as well as the un-necessary deaths of civilians during wartime. Let it also be known to the nations of Kuratshia and Samtonia that any further terrorist attacks or civilian massacres will be considered completely unacceptable, and IN THE EVENT that you commit any more of these war crimes, a state of war will exist between the Kuratshia/Samtonia and our own country. The government also urges Majesto and its allies not to initiate un-necessary retaliatory strikes against civilians in retribution for this dispicable act.

Catalia forever!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The number of active military personnel is equal to approximately 0.1% of the national population, and militia reserve is equal to 0.4%. Number of T-90 tanks and MiG 29 fighters purchased is equal to 25 and 35% of the military budget, respectively.

To The Leader of Commonwealth of Catalien States,

Friend, we must know were does your alliance lie?? Does it lie with Majesto and Myself?? Or does it lie with the lying Samtonia ?

Remeber the actions taken against you, depend on your answer here.


Think Wisely

David York
President of Bulova York

Captian Joshua H. picks up the black phone on the desk " Mr. Supreme Leader Sir" making sure he didn't offend the great leader of Majesto.

"Would you like a Fighter Escort on your way to Samtonia I can provide you with 45 Planes to escort your men"

"And kind sir I give you greetings from our President who is most pleased with his friendship."

Tell the president yes. My men would appreciate a fighter escort.

**

-> Three miles outside of the Samtonian Capital City, Captain Wregland

"DIVISION, HALT!"

"Men, we will hold our positions here. We will be meeting up with the marines from Bulova York and an invasion plan will be determined. Unless told otherwise, we will be invading the city in five hours (30 real minutes).

-> Flaherty City, the Dictator

As Majesto was in a state of emergency, no regular programming was on so the news immediatly broke into this message:

"Attention all leaders of Samtonia. I am giving you an ultimatum. Surrender your city to Majesto and Bulova York within five hours (30 mins.) or we will be forced to invade with a combined force of around 60,000 troops and take it by force. If you surrender, we will not loot or pillage too much and your city will be spared. If you wish to fight, you will lose and the city will be set in flames. Choose wisely."

OOC: I'll be back in 15 minutes...

"Commander?" Cpt JH asked "Are you ready?" "Because if Samtonia does not reply back, we will be forced to destroy them" "Sir the 7th Carrier Squardon is always ready."

"Colonel, your troops are to join up with Majesto's on the outskirts of the Samtonia Captial, and on Supreme Leader Dan's order. You are to attack with full force!!! Hold nothing back"

OOC: Where is Kuratshia? Once were done with Samtonia, I'll be going over to Kuratshia... We'll deal with that later.

Supreme Leader, if Samtonia does not reply and we are forced to talk action against them.

I will need to call in more troops and supplies for the attack on Kuratshia, should I put the 20,000 Airborne and 45,000 Marines on alert back home for possible action??

That is your call.

Standing on the balcony ambassador Mikal Frouchel watched as build not far from the embassy erupted into flames, moments later he felt the concussion air hit his body. That was close he thought to himself, taking a moment he looked back into the main building. That there were a number of children that were crying following the last explosion, this war had caught everyone by surprise, those Tappee Citizen that were in the area had came to the embassy seeking shelter, now they were fearing for their lives. Frouchel looked up at the sky and could only hope that help was on the way.

Meanwhile in the cold darkness of space and number of craft were making their way towards the surface. Formed into the shape of a W they were divided into two groups each with their own object, in each group there was a SkyLift and assigned to each Skylift had a squadron of Raptor fighter running escort. There objectives were simple, flight to the embassy’s and drop off the Military Forces that would protect each embassy. As they neared the atmosphere the two group separated.

Captain Falco was the lead pilot for one of the skylifts “This is gift to wrapping preparing to make entry.”

“Copy that gift, moving to make entry” answered one of the pilots.

Making a series of adjustment the Skylift shuddered as the craft hit the atmosphere. Looking out the window Falco could see an orange glow underneath each craft. However, he watched as the Raptor extended their wing allowing them atmospheric flight and the orange glow disappeared as the entered normal fight. As they approached the city Falco could see the scars of war littering the city. There were a number of building that were on fire, and giant craters. He was worried that the embassy would be in the same state.

Making a course adjustment he let out a sigh of relief seeing the embassy was still there and in good condition, at least for now.

A big gust of air caused Frouchel to look up, what he saw caused him nearly to jump with joy. A SkyLift was hovering in the sky and slowly making it way to the ground, surrounding the craft was a number of fighter which too were hovering in the air, they were taking up a defensive position along the compounds walls.

As the doors open a number of Soldier came running out with the guns drawn they were followed by what Frouchel believe to be an APC. Running out of the building Frouchel ran out to create them. As he approached one of the soldiers gave him a salute

“You must be Ambassador Frouchel” yelled out the soldier. Frouchel thought that he looked rather young, then remember that they had sent to Second “I’m lieutenant Marcus Spring”

Frouchel thought to himself “Spring?” he asked

“Yes” answered the lieutenant

Frouchel extended his hand “I knew your father”

Spring was unimpressed there were more important issues at hand “With all due respect sir it would appear that you have your self a problem here”

Frouchel couldn’t help but nodded “We’ve taken a pounding here, and have a number of people seeking shelter. Don’t you think that we can get all no essential personal out of here.”

Spring just nodded “We’ve got more then enough room on the transport” Spring turned in his COM system “We’re are going to EVAC all the CIV’s I want sniper teams on the room, I want them loaded double time.”

Ten minutes laters both Spring and Frouchel watched as the transport lifted into the air accompanied by the fighters.

OOC: WHOOPS! sorry i have to back out i have a real war that needs to be atteended! SORRY!

"Fighter Escort 7, change of plans" "Sir?" "I want to you level that embassy, no matter what" "Yes Sir"

"Sweet mother of God! Look up in the sky!" Fighter planes and transport choppers whizzed overhead. "WE'RE BEING ATTACKED! TAKE COVER! ALERT THE AIRBORNE DIVISION!"

The frantic message flew over the air: "These are your General Assaulters. We've got suspicious craft flying overead. Send someone to interecept them!"

The airborne units responded: "We have five jets up in the air nearby. They will be interecpting. The other twenty five are gong airborne now."

Capt. Wregland: "Man, thank God they're gone. That was close. It will soon be time to attack. DIVISION - WE WILL ME MOVING OUT IN FIVE MINUTES PREPARE TO ATTACK."

Supreme Leader

Is the Attack on the City a go?? Should I launch the first wave of Airstrikes???

OOC: Let's wait a while, Samtonia hasn't been on a while, he needs a chance to respond, mabye we'll go in tongiht. Besides - what about those crazy airplanes that were attacking me... :wink:

:oops:

Cpt J Hlbrk "Send 12 F-8 Vodoos to the aid of Majesto, destroy them" "And pick a target of your choosing in Samtonia and destroy it as well, the attack probally came from them or one of there allies."

ooc: That was Bad RPing right there. I sent in fully equiped Marines How do you that I couldn't have shoot down the Missile not to mention that i have fighters in the air to protect the embassy. NEVER EVER in an RP Report the other persons LOSSES. The way it should have been wrote is the the pilot fired the missile and pulled out, then let me decided what happen

Now for my other you don't want to upset me I can field an army larger then your country and would not be considered GODMODDING. During a war a country can feild an army size of 5% of the their total population. so in my case that would be just over 100mil troop. Not to mention that I have future tech. If you would have read the OOC you would have known that I was not to get involve. I want to act as an observer and advisor nothing more.

Now I would suggest the you contact my government and appolgize or I will get involved. unless of course you want to go toe to toe with a country that is neary 20 times your size, and has much more to spend in Tech it would be over really fast.

The world began to move as if the ground itself was about to open up. After it was over Spring turned on his COM system “Every one check in”

-> Capt. Wregland outside the captial

"Wow! Did you hear that explosion? What the heck was that?"

One of his lieutenants: "I don't know sir, should we go check it out?"

"I don't know lieutenant, we didn't have any friendlies in there did we?"

"Not to my knowledge sir."

"Thanks Lieutenant."

Bump

"Lieutenant, I have no clue what that explosion was" "But I will keep my eyes out, just in case"

"We have made a few enemies today"

Again for the second time today there was knock on the door glancing up Jon seen Harold standing at the door but this time he was accompanied General William and Jade Allenson, Jon could see the concerned look on both their face.

“What wrong” asked Jon before either man could say anything

General Williams was the first to answer “Our embassy In Majesto has been maliciously destroyed.”

This would greatly complicate thing thought Jon. “What were the losses”

“They had just EVAC’d the civilians before the attack, the staff was in the bunker when it hit, but we lost six soldiers that were out side.” Answered Williams

Jon slammed his fist on the desk, “Who the hell did this” barked Jon “Every one knew that our embassy were not to be touched” he looked at every one in the room. “Please tell this was an accident”

Jade Jade just shook her head “There was now way this was an accident Jon.” Jon gave her a funny look before she continued “First of all according to radar report from the force stationed at the embassy the plane that fire the missile was from Bulova York an Ally of Majesto. Why would an Ally of Majesto fire a missile at Majesto territory? Sat Photo’s have confirmed the plane as Bulova York”

Harlod spoke up for the first time “We have received an apology from the Bulova government”

Jade interrupted him “They may be trying to frame others for the attack in order to draw us in”

“Harold I want you to talk to the Bulova government and ask them what the hell is going on” he Looked over at Williams “Move the 7th and 9th Battle fleet into a high orbit above Bulova York. If it happens again then we will have no choice but to act.”

OOC: That was your embassy in Samtonia! No Bulova York units were inside of my nation at that time.

OOC: That was your embassy in Samtonia!!!!!

ooc: it was never specified during the post therfore I got to pick, thought that I would add a little plot twist to the RP. Majesto was the only city that was getting bombed, or had any reference to being bombed

Dear Supreme Leader Tappee,

I am truly sorry for my my Captain did to your embassy, please accept this formal apology as an issurance that it will never happen, again.

If we can rebuild the embassy for you, just ask.

Again, we are truly sorry

David York
President of Bulova York

P.S
Captain Holbrook command has been taken away.

OOC: That was your embassy in Samtonia!!!!!

ooc: it was never specified during the post therfore I got to pick, thought that I would add a little plot twist to the RP. Majesto was the only city that was getting bombed, or had any reference to being bombed


OOC: Fine then, he blew up the Majesto embassy. But I did send fighters over to Samtopia.... Anyhow, that was some twist.

Offical Press release From Tappee Foreign Affairs.

We accept your appolgy in which the manner that it was given. We would ask the Both sides exersise extreme caution inorder to limit civilian losses. I have been authorized by my government to order the withdraw of Tappee Forces that are currently in orbit above Bulova York. I also have been asked by my Government to send in humanitarian aid to those who need, as long as their safety can be garanteed.

In responce to recent events, Bulova York is with drawing all of the military forces in the rejoin. We are returning to Bulova York to rethink our military ways. To our Allie Majesto: 1 Nimitz Class Carrier with 65 Fighters and men is yours, use it till your hearts content.

We regret our actions, and furthermore. Will rethink our current stance toward military conflicts.

Bulova York High Command

Later that day, more bombs flew through the air. An embassy was blown up blocks from the governmental offices.

"Holy Moley! I thought the bombers were gone hours ago?"

The Commander of the Home Guards said that it was a case of friendly fire.

"Friendly fire? The only units in Majesto are Bulova York or mine? What the heck is going on here?"

The commander said: "Actually, a Bulova York air patrol blew up the Tappeean Embassy. We believe it was a mistake."

"I see, well what the heck were Tappeean forces doing in my nation?"

"They were removing embassy personell."

"No one told me anything about that."

"I know that sir, they just came in and were mistaken as enemys."

"You know something commander? I don't care what they were doing here. I should have been notified directly. I demand an apology from them! I don't want another war. Our forces are streatched too thin."

Guys, that was the best RP I have ever played!!!

I so wanna do that again..

I have to go now, but can invite me anytime!!!!

Jon couldn’t remember reading any report about a situation in Majesto “what kind of situation?”

Reaching into his brief case Harold handed Jon a folder “Early this afternoon there was an attack on a Government compound in Flaherty, according to the Majesto Government the attackers used Kuratshian weapons and Samtonia currency. This discovery has caused the Majesto Government to declare war on Kuratshia, and we believe that Samtonia will come the Kuratshia’s aid.”

Sitting back in his chair Jon thought about his options. With the new against Steel Butterfly his option where limited. Nearly have of Tappee’s military was engaged against Imperial Forces, committing more else where would put the safety of Tappee into question. He took a moment to read the report the Harold had given him over, it would help him come up with a plan.

“Alright, I’m going talk to Jade see if she can have some of her people look into this, and confirm that it was indeed Kuratshia that launched the attack. I’m going to send Two Squads from the Second X in to protect our embassy’s in both Majesto and Kuratshia. Issue a travel advisory telling all Tappee Citizens on both countries to leave, or head to the Embassy’s. I want you too contact both government and tell them that our forces are there only to protect the embassy’s and will not engage in hostile activities unless forced too, and that we will hold each country accountable for the safety of our embassy’s”

Harold nodded “Ok I’ll get right on it”

The last thing Jon want was to get dragged into another war, he could I’ll afford to fight a war on multiple fronts.

Guys, that was the best RP I have ever played!!!

I so wanna do that again..

I have to go now, but can invite me anytime!!!!

OOC: It wasn't bad. One scale of 1 to 10 it was about a five.

this one here is a ten
http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=117853&highlight=

Trust me it took along time for me to get to that stage, but if we keep doing RP like it wouldn't take long until you too are there.

In truth there are refrences in this RP that are a direct result of that RP

Dan was seriously concidering a war with Tappee for invading his sovergin nation.

"That guy had some balls to do that. He's lucky I don't go overthere and blow his nation off the face of the Earth."

"Well sir, another war wouldn't be too good now, like I said, we're streatched pretty thin.

At this time, a private walked in to the room and said, "Excuse me sir, I have a message from Tappee."

"Hahaha, I bet that they want to go to war. Let me see it."

"Here you go sir."

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS! HOW LONG HAVE YOU HAD THIS MESSAGE PRIVATE?"

"About a two hours sir."

"THIS HAPPENED OVER AN HOUR AGO! YOU USELESS PIECE OF GARBAGE!"

Dan pulled out his revolver again. "To think that I was going to go to war with Tappee." He fired two shots at the private. The went right through his heart, bounced off the wall and grazed Dan.

"Man, I need a vacation."

Frochel just sat there in a piece of debris looking out at once was the Tappee embassy. In silence he stared out at the carnage that lay before him, out of the corner of his eye he notice lieutenant Spring walk up beside him.

“Tell me lieutenant how do you deal with the horror of war” asked Frochel

For a moment Spring stood there deciding how he should respond “I know nothing different, for me” he motioned toward the rubble “this is how I was raised.” Marus’s father had at one time sat as Tappee Tribunal chair, a position that held more power then even the president. However, in the harsh reality of the world, the live of both Marcus’s were taken in a single act, which left him as an orphan. In Tappee Orphans were taken in by the state and trained for military life from an early life. So far Lieutenant Spring he knew nothing else but the chaos of war. “Sir I’ve just received word from the foreign affairs office they want you to go to the presidential office. They fear the this event was a result of miscommunication. So in an attempt to avoid it in the future they want to be at the palace in person. I have an APC ready to take”

For a moment Frochel almost felt sorry for the lieutenant, he seemed empty. “Have they been notified that I’m coming” asked Frochel, the last thing he wanted was another communication error.

“My radio operator is sending the message as we speak.” Answered Spring

“And you” responded Frochel

“Once we’ve cleaned up here we’ve been scheduled for EVAC. We are no longer needed here.”

Official Release from Tappee Foreign Affairs

Ambassador Frochel shall be arriving short at the presidential building shortly, he is traveling VIA APC.

Harold Armstrong

OOC:

I think that I'm going to end it now and withdraw all of my forces. That was pretty cool, I want to do that again pretty soon! Anyhow, I'm lucky that we didn't have a real war come up out of a mock war.

I want to thank all nations that participated in this Mock War. I had a good time. Thanks.

Just for the record - Bulova York - my people needed an excuse to go to war, so I was waiting for Samonia or the K country (whatever their names were) to bomb your civilians again so my people could feel I was justified in allying with you and Majesto against the other two.

Harold and General Williams sat across from Jon. They where sitting in an operations rooms, the room itself was dark, there were a number of displays and maps through out the room.

“Well, what do think?” asked Jon

For a brief moment there was silence in the room. However, it didn’t last long “I think that the Simulation went better then expected. Despite the current situation in Steel Butterfly our force where still able to respond quickly to a crisis half across the world and protect our citizen abroad.” Answered General Williams

Jon thought for a moment “with the expectation of the Embassy your force responded perfectly.” He glance of at Harold “You just need to make sure that in the future that you keep a more open line of communication with all the parties involved” Harold nodded in agreement “That All then gentlemen, wire the agreed money to all those involved, and tell them if they ever need to do another Train Simulation of this again we will be more then willing to help.

And with that the three men went about their normal daily business

Well, I'll be in touch. Mabye I should do one of these next week! :D

OOC- WOOOAHH!!! Hold on a moment there. WE ended? Without hardly any fighting? That wasn't a war, that was a few posts. This will continue. Samtonia has had war declared and we will not back down. Meanwhile, about the stuff happening in Samtonia- IGNORE! There are a few problems with it. 1. What did you send to Samtonia? 2. How did it get there? I have a blockade of my coast up, fighter patrols, and half of my military patrolling my country. My armed forces won't just sit there. You're not just going to waltz into my country and drive to the capital. And 3. Why was I not able to retaliate? You said a war. This "war" seemed a bit one-sided. I get invaded without being able to say how I am going to stop the invasion? Come on people, this demonstrates your RP ing skills need work. Let's finish this the RIGHT way.
IC- Samtonia has issued this formal decleration: "The war is not over. Our troops are sent out across the globe for no reason. We will state this- the war will only end with the total surrender of Majesto and her allies."

OOC:

Ok fine, let's get this baby on the road again. It's looking to be one on one now. We'll start from my troops on the way to Samtonia if thats ok with you, just after Bulova Shot down the fighter planes.

OOC: Sincere apologies for missing all this. I literally had no choice. I'm real sorry. But I don't think that constituted a "war". I vote we keep on going.

OOC Edit: And could someone explain to me in simple, idiot's terms? I got lost somewhere around mid-page 2...

Ok, like I said - this is on the roll again. From the point of Samtonia losing the fighters - if that's ok with all.

Well I have no problem with returning if everybody else does - but I think we should try and get a few more people at this point unless we only want 3 1/2 countries (I really don't count) in this war.

What's ever here is here. There are four of us. Me and you, Samtonia and Kuratshia. Now that we have four of us - let's get going and do some real fighting. You know - I really need some revenge on Samtonia. Imperialistic Warmonger, humph!

*** Ok all the posts from now on will be IC. The war is officially restarted ***

"So, what's going on here, Lieutenant?" Premier Deane asked.
"Honestly, sir? I have no idea. Suffice it to say I think we should bolster our ally's forces and secure our borders." Lieutenant Morrison, commander of the Infantry Corps, responded.
"Sounds good. Execute MAJESTY-2."
"Yessir."
-----
OOC: MAJESTY-2 is one of the various contingency plans Kurashita has. Two-thirds of the Special Corps, and one third of the Air Force, Infantry Corps, and Armored Corps move over to Samtonia, while the remainder guard the borders. The Special Corps is set up as a recon screen, for the Infantry and Armored Corps who are fortified behind them. The Air Force flys CAP, and the Navy puts everything out to sea.

The dictator was on his was back twoards his palace when he yelled out "STOP THE CAR!" He demanded that the driver turn around and head back to the war office.

"I've changed my mind people. We're going to war. Re-Mobilize the forces. Tell the reserves to report back to base NOW."

The office looked puzzled, "But sir, we were already at war today."

"So?"

Although the resented the fact, they knew that the dictator had already shot two people today and they didn't want to be the third.

"Ok sir, the forces have been recalled. The draft is reinstated and reserves are being notified as we speak."

OOC- Wait, what fighters? I have sent no forces into your country but the high altitude bombers. Maybe you misinterpreted. I sent the fighters and helicopters to Kurashita to help defenses there.

----0650 hours----Skies above Majesto----1st, 2nd, and 3rd Grand Bomber Wings
The bombers flew on. They were at an altitude higher than most anything could reach, to assure their safety. Over 900 planes flew this mission. Some had been selected to destroy radar statons, others munitions storage facilities and warehouses. The various flights began to peel off from one another, and SOON BOMBS WERE FALLING ON MAJESTO.

Yes, that proves my point. Only high-altitude bombers were sent.

OOC: Ok, whatever, it doesn't really matter, we're restarting from that point, that's all that matters. Come on now, someone send some forces out! I'm ready for war :twisted:

OOC-Well, if you RP fighters trying to attack the bombers, I'll accept it and post casualties. Oh, and damage reports on the targets of the bombers would be nice. And I believe I will do something major tomorrow. Until then, toodles and goodnight.

"Ground! This is Air 13. We've spotted some enemy bombers. They are dropping bombs. Requesting permission to engage."

"Go ahead 13, Air 10, 5 and 7 are en route to your location. You are cleared to fire."

"You're going down man! Fire... 1. Fire... 2. And Fire... 3. Yahoo!"

"13, this 7. I have him in my sights, decrease altitude and leave the line of fire."

"Go ahead and fire..."

*Meanwhile, In the Defense Ministry's Bunker*

"UPDATE!"

"Sir, Samtonian forces are gathering and are ready to move out. The Kuratshian forces are....

"AAA! TAKE COVER! WE'RE UNDER ATTACK."

The building shook and sheetrock dust fell from the cealing. Bombs were falling all over the downtown area. Luckily, the bombing ceased within a few minutes. However, the damage was bad.

***

"SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT THE **** THAT WAS!"

"Sir, we were bombed by Samtonian bombers. The Airbornes have them engaged though."

"Ok, some one go up and get me a damage report!"

*Ten minutes later*

"Sir, things aren't good. The building is crumbling, we need to evacuate immediatly. All I can see is rubble for blocks around..."

"Well, let's get out of here then, besides I need to go to bed for a while."

***********

Meanwhile: The Majestian Army was split exactly in half. 24,500 Assaulters, 50 tanks, and 30 planes and choppers were enroute to both Samtopia and Kuratshia. They would not arrive until morning. At the same time, an extra 100,000 citizens were being rapidly trained for war.

OOC: Yea, I'm off to bed myself. I'll see all you people in the morning.

0354 CST (Catalien States Time):

Chief Counsel Donald Armaged was awakened from his sleep by his bedside console, which was beeping loudly. He rolled over and saw the words "Incoming message" flickering on the screen.

"Mr. Armaged," the colonel began, "we have a preliminary report of an off-course Samtonian vessel bombing a small hamlet near the borderlands."

Armaged wiped the sleep out of his eyes and responded "Is this confirmed? How many wounded in the town? Where did the pilot crash?"

"We don't have any confirmation except for the radar station confirming an airborne vessel that appeared to be of Samtonian origin. Unfortunately, there are no wounded citizens in the town, as..."

"What do you mean 'unfortunately'? If no one was hurt in this mishap that's good, right?"

"We have had no contact with the hamlet for several hours. Search and rescue parties have already been sent to search for survivors, but we believe that everyone in the town perished in the attack. The pilot..."

"Yes, as soon as you find the wreckage, have the pilot brought in for interrogation."

"The pilot turned back for Samtonian airspace as soon as he completed the bombing."

Armaged stared at the screen for a moment, before he finally managed to quietly say "Oh dear god. Someone pinch me - please tell me this is a nightmare."

"I wish I could, sir. But unfortunately this seems to be precise and deliberate. I've already had all of our fighters launched, and they are currently patrolling the airspace along our borders."

"Have them shoot anything that comes within a micron of our airspace. Notify the other counsellors; we'll have an emergency session first thing in the morning. That is all."

"Yes, sir. Shall the meeting start at around, say, 7:30?"

"Better make it 6:30."

"Very good, sir. Catalia forever!" the colonel saluted as the console winked off, leaving Armaged to stare unbelievingly at the ceiling for the next two hours.

---------------------------------------------------

0628 CST

"People, we are facing the gravest crisis that the commonwealth has ever faced," Armaged began. "Early this morning, a Samtonian bomber attacked the tiny hamlet of Queensville near the border, and rescue parties have found no survivors. After this horrific attack, the bomber returned to Samtonia. The military believes that this was a planned and deliberate move on the part of the Samtonian government, and suggests that we declare a state of war between us, Samtonia, and their ally, Kurashita. This is the only way we can protect ourselves against future aggression, and honour the deaths of those in Queensville. This council must make the decision between war or continued provocation."

The four other councillors looked at each other for a moment before one spoke. "If Samtonia wants a war, then they shall have one. I will not sit around while our innocent civilians are killed. I am for war!"

Another stood up. "We must protect our nation at all costs. I am for war as well."

"We cannot stand for blunders and 'mistakes' such as these. War it is," said the third.

Everyone's attention was upon the remaining councillor. A moment passed before he stood up and proclaimed "It is therefore the unanimous decision of this council that a state of war now exists between the Commonwealth of Catalien States, Samtonia, and Kurashita."

"Very well," Armaged said, "notify Majesto of our intentions. Activate the military and have them mass at the border. Notify the reserve militia that they will be called upon for active duty. Propose an increase to the defense budget to the parliament. As of now, for better or for worse, we are at war."

0810 hours----Skies above Majesto
"Bombs away!" shouted the young bombardier as the computer screen and the radar station below them lit up with explosions."It's a hit sir. They shouldn't be sending out any more signals."
The pilot siled- and than frowned. Blips had begun to light up the radar- first a few, than a few dozen. He swore. "Get ready to rumble boys. Here they come."
The anti-fighter measures were activated. Jammers went on, to confuse the pilots. Flares were shot out, to blind both pilots and missiles. The fighters raored in and out of the bomber squadron, shooting down plane after plane, slowly beginning to take their toll on the squadrons. All too soon, the fighters had to head back to refuel and rearm. The bombers had made it. But they had paid the price- 26 bombers downed, 17 seriously damaged. But they had bought time for the fighters from Samtonia to come in. Paying with their lives, they gave enough time to allow the fighters to get a nearly 6 to 1 numerical advantage over the Majestoan fighters. AS the swarms of Samtonian air-to-air missiles filled the sky, the bomer pilot laughed with glee. It was the Majestoan's turn to die.

Losses-26 bombers destroyed, 17 damaged enough to not fly again

0920 hours---Kurashitan/Majestoan border--- General Headquarters
General Abner Dowling surveyed the maps. They were ready. They had waited overnight until all the troops were in place, the divisions of troops rested, the tank companies refueled. And now it was ready- Operation Titan's Hammer, the invasion of Majesto. A massive plan was called for. The 1st Armored Army Group was to lead the assault. This would be followed by the 1st Special Forces Army, the 2nd Engineering Corps, the 2nd and 3rd Infantry Army Groups and the 1st and 2nd Artillery armies. The plan was simple- Bombard the enemies with the massive amounts of artillery and smash through their puny forces with the tanks. Dowling smiled. The majority of enemy forces were grouped around the town of (Insert Name Here), attemting to defend their country from a Samtonian invasion. They outnumbered the Majestoans ten times over- Without the other third of his army to attack. And if the entire Samtonian army had come- 'Well', Abner thought, 'the amount of infantry alone could outnumber his entire armed forces over 30 to one.' The plan was foolproof. Steamroll his enemies, going first for their puny leader and than their cities, while the other third of his army stayed behind to defend Kurashita. Dowling lit a cigarette. As the sound of booming guns rolled across the fields and reached his ears his smile broadened. It had begun.
OOC-(Just so you know, you have a total of about 60,000 artillery pieces firing at the last known enemy positions around the border to about 50 miles in.)

0930 hours----Samtonian capital---President's office
As the sun shone through the window, President Irwin sat back and smiled. The appointment should be here right about....now. A man burst into the room, his face aglow with anger.
"Sir, I demand to know why the contents of my office were outside my door this morning." he snapped. Irwin smiled.
"Why, because you are leaving Samtonia."
The Catalien States ambassador suddenly stopped, his mouth agape. "You can't do that. I am the ambassador to Samtonia and fully expect to be treated as.."
"WERE the ambassador to Samtonia. Mr Reford, we are no longer in need of your services in our country. Your embassy has been closed down. You are to go home."
"But that will cause war!"
"No ambassador. Actually, war has already been declared on you. We jumped the gun on your country. Our decleration came out about an hour before your country's."
"You madman! You fool! Have you any idea what you started?"
Irwin laughed. "Oh, I am well aware of what I have done and I'd like to see you try to stop me."
The ambassador's face turned ashen. "Mark my words Mr. President, our country will make you pay for this." With that, he stormed from the office. Sam smiled. He let the man get in the last word, as that would be the only thing going for the ambassador's country for a while.

Later that morning the phone rang. It was the ambassador to the Catalien States, George Deponch, a dependable party man with a deep southern accent. "Mr President, the damncataliens have kicked me aht!" he roared. Sam smiled. "Don't worry George, It's because I kicked their ambassador out."
"Oh. But Mr President, won't that mean war?"
"George, it's a war we were forced into. Their country tried to stop uis from defending an ally. It's our right and duty to punish them in any way we see fit."
"Ah see Mr President. Well, y'all don't start the party without me being there."
"We won't George." With that, Irwin hung up. It was finally Samtonia's day to shine. He poured jhimself a glass of cognac and savored it slowly. It was, in his mind, his finest hour.

"SIR! WE'VE GOT PROBLEMS!"

"What! What's wrong?"

"We've got a massive amount of Samtonian troops gathering on the boarder for attack."

"So? Let's go and kill them."

"You don't understand sir, their whole army is prepped for attack."

"Ok. Breath in... Breath out... How bad is it?"

"We're out numbered 6 to 1."

"Ok.... This is a problem. I want all troops to protect Flaherty City at all costs. If we need to win it block by block, so be it. I WILL NOT LOSE MY CITY! Let them take the countryside. I don't care. We'll get them, don't worry."

"We only have 49,000 Troops sir."

"Ok, let's get the Home Guards out there too, we need all the help we can get. That's another 2,000."

"But sir - they're the police department."

"And - they have guns... Aw man! Guns, I can't believe that I banned guns [from the general public] last week. Rats."

"Call all able bodied men from 20-40 to arms."

"We don't have enough time to train them sir."

"Just give them a gun. They'll learn quick. Gimme a number, NOW!"

"We can get another 50,000 men I guess. But sir, that's slaughter they're not trained."

"Look! We now have 100,000 men with guns out there. Get all my tanks, humvees, planes, boats, cars, I DON'T CARE! Set up barriers, don't let their troops in! We five days of food. Let's get this on."

How do you sign up? It's easy...you don't.

OOC - Majesto: How can all of the able-bodied men aged 20 to 40 in your whole nation amount to only 50,000? That number seems incredibly low.

Majesto National News:

"Flaherty City in Turmoil!" The headline boomed

"Just a few minutes ago, the army took up positions around the city. They ferverently dug trenches, placed sandbags, and strung barbed wire. The city is air tight no one may enter or leave. All residents of the city are advised to stock up on food and water and sleep in their basements. The Home Guards are stressing that all people remain indoors. All abled bodied men are being asked to defend their city from the Samtonian army. They are to report to their nearest police precint to recieve arms. Here is a message from your dictator:

"All residents of Flaherty City. The people in Samtopia think that they will take this city. I WILL PROVE THEM WRONG! Their whole army is rolling right twoards us. Stand proud. This is a city of 6 million people, I am asking that I recieve at least one million volunteers to man the city's fortifications. Do not let these terrorists win. Thank you."

OOC - Majesto: How can all of the able-bodied men aged 20 to 40 in your whole nation amount to only 50,000? That number seems incredibly low.

OOC - Yea, look above, I changed it. Are you gonna help me? I'm up poop creek here... :cry:

All across the Commonwealth of Catalien States, broadcasts are interrupted with an urgent message...


"Citizens of the Commonwealth:

Early this morning, a Samtonian bomber crossed into CCS airspace and, in a pre-emptive strike, destroyed the hamlet of Queensville, murdering the entire population consisting of 3,000 innocent men, women, and children.

The Council has decided, in a unanimous vote, that the Commonwealth shall be in a state of war with Samtonia and their ally, Kurashita, in response to this disgusting bloodbath.

Already, 30 000 Commonwealth troops have been dispatched to Flaherty City to attempt to defend that city against the ravenous troops who plan to torture and murder all of its six million citizens, in the same way it attacked Queensville. In addition, the CCS Reserve Militia has been actived, and its 200 000 members are hereby pressed into active duty and ordered to the nearest law enforcement station to recieve weapons and a training briefing. The air force and armoured combat divisions have been mobilized, and are currently working and dying to defend you.

Remember the citizens of Queensville with honour; as they gave their lives to save yours. I urge every able bodied citizen to be prepared to fight this invading menace, unless you want your relatives, your family, and your loved ones to be killed in the same merciless say that the citizens of Queensville were.

Remember the sacrifice of Queensville.

Catalia forever!"

Command Sergeant-Major Katherine Crosby turned her head a bit and took a drag off her special "water" straw and swallowed the tablespoon of 150-proof thought provoker. She and her Krushers (7th Special Brigade) were posted as recon screen for the upcoming push into Majesto.
"Demon?"
"Yes, ma'am?" Master Sergeant Saburo "Demon" Nishita responded.
"What do you make of it?"
"It's a clusterf*** for those poor infantrymen behind us, but we'll do fine. We have some good men, and some better equipment." Saburo flexed his Nightmare's fist. "We'll kill every ground-pounder sonofabitch comes our way, and the tanks and planes behind us will take care of everything else. Then, when we're done with them, we'll move on, and on, and on, until we get to Flaherty City. And then, God willing, we'll loot it, raze it, and piss on the ashes."
"Sounds like a nice way to end a drive." Her attention flicked to the signal board on her left arm; the diode labeled "Bravo" was now lit. She switched over to her all-hands circuit.
"We have Bravo, I say again, we have go-code Bravo. Move out, all forces, move out for Flaherty City."
Command Sergeant-Major Katherine Crosby flipped the covers for the firing triggers in her gauntlets open and double-timed it, straight into the heart of the enemy...

An undisclosed location in Flaherty City:

"What's going on now? How are we doing?"

"Well sir. They're steamrolling in twoards the city. We have the city surrounded by trenched and embankments. The 15 Howitzers are pointed down the Kuratshian road..."

"Whew, this is bad. Ok, deploy the tank divisions (75 Class II and 30 Class III) on the road to try and soften them up."

"But that's murder sir. Our tanks are out numbered 10 to 1."

"We need the time, that's all. Mabye we can dig some more trenches and muster up some more citizens to help us out. Oh, take the news channel over, don't let them broadcast without letting me see it first."

OOC- Need damage reports on a few things:
1. Opening bombardment.
2. Fighter attack
3. Sub attacks on shipping

Need to know the numbers Majesto....

IC- ---1630 hours----somewhere in Majesto---Samtonian assault force---
Dowling rode proud upon the T-7 Gilgamesh. It was his third time in a tank and he was enjoying it, though he disliked the shaking and the dust brought up by his tank. The reason for the dust? The tanks were driving at maximum power. They had literally crushed the resistance at the borders- The resistors that weren't pieces due to the massive artillery barrage. His army was rolling forwards, towards Flaherty City. It would be only about half an hour to get there, unless they ran into trouble. And trouble was exactly what they ran into.

General Dowling dropped back into his tank and intently studied the electronic map. A counterassault by Majestoan tanks was trying to hit one of their forward companies, composed of Koshi light tanks and MAV's. The casualties sustained were acceptable so far- 37 MAV's destroyed, 12 taken out of action and 15 Koshi's destroyed, along with 32 taken out ofaction. However, taht had been when they were caught unawares, without the true heavy support. The vehicles left in that forward area were putting up a dadly resistance, taking out tank after tank with their guns. Abner smiled as a detachment of heavy tanks swung around, their massive main guns making short work of the remaining tanks. And with that, the outskirts of Flaherty City were under control. He surveyed the map. 3 airfileds, a few military bases and some long abandoned supply depots were close enough to be useful. Already the airfields were filled with Samtonian fighters and helicopters and being guarded by loyal forces. But most importantly, the Samtonian army was within shelling range of Flaherty City. Already, SAM sits and Artillery unitswere beginning to set up. this would be a siege to be remembered.

"Ma'am, we've got track on... looks like just over a hundred tanks. Assault, or wait for the tank column to get here?"
"What composition?" CSM Crosby inquired.
"Not sure on exact figured, but under eighty Class IIs and under 35 Class IIIs. The Class IIs have 120mm guns, and the Class IIIs have 130mm." MSGT Nishita reported.
"Thank you, Demon, I was paying attention during the briefing too. We'll have to wait. ETA on the tanks?"
"About ten minutes for ours and theirs to get into firing range."
"Okay. Wait nine minutes, then rush behind the first line of tanks. Rip off the hatches and fire into them, standard procedure. Anything else to consid-" Her helmet lit up with warning signals. "ALL HANDS, DROP NOW!"
In almost a single motion, thirty thousand men hit the deck. A few were too late, and were blown apart by the incoming howitzer fire.
"Sweet Jesus. Change of plans, people! Charge the tanks, NOW, get behind the front line and start killing!"
A few inexperienced men starting yelling that that was suicide. They were more reasonable after the second barrage impacted.
"RUSH NOW, people, and warn the people behind us!"
-----
OOC: I lost probably 130 suits to the howitzer fire, either killed or disabled. But now you've got the entire force bum rushing your poor tank column. If you didn't intend for the howitzers to fire just yet, then some trigger-happy junior officer ordered a preemptive strike. Somebody else you can shoot. :P

OOC: I already gave the bomber reports.... "Rubble for blocks around [in downtown], the Defence Ministry in flames....

Oh - That's 130 less people charging my city. I'll take what I can get at this point.

IC:

"SOME ONE GIVE ME A GODDAM REPORT!!!"

"Sir! We have our tanks engaging the forces on the outskirts of the city. We had some early victories - but they're charging now. The howitzers knocked off some Kuratshian forces. The city itself though is fairly safe for now."

"How are we doing with supplies. This is going to be one hell of a siege."

"I'm not sure sir. The harbors are under Samtonian control sir. We've already lost three freighters to the enemy and the others have turned back. I'd say that we only have three days of food and mabye another two if we conserve."

"Christ almighty! We're in deep now... We're in deep now..."

"Well sir, the best thing that we can do is to sit and wait and hope they try to charge the trenches. We have enough bullets to last for five days. We can hold them off indefinatly. Look on the bright side sir, they're not going to bomb a city ogf 5 million people. They'd look like murderers."

"Good job Lieiutenant. Let's hunker down. This is going to be fun."

OOC: Now all you need to do is RP the tanks... a little under 30K battlesuits charging them.

OOC: Now all you need to do is RP the tanks... a little under 30K battlesuits charging them.

OOC: AAA!

IC:

*The outskirts of Flaherty City*

"Hea Steve? Can you see them things down there on the horizon?"

"Umm... Lemme get the binoculars and take a look. Probably just a platoon or something. Shoot one down there anyway to scare them off."

"Righty O"

"HOLY ****! THE WHOLE GODDAM ARMY IS RUNNIN RIGHT AT US!"

"Bull. Lemme seeeeeee..."

"Let's get the hell outta here. Tank or no tank, this is crazy."

"Yea! Let's go! Let them have these stupid tanks."

"Oh, I dunno.... The dictator'll have our heads for this."

"Yea, but with him it'll be quick. With these guys they'll make it torture. Now let's get the hell outta here."

OOC- No, i mean the artillery bombardment. I know you did the bombers. As for the planes- I mean the fighter plane attack on your air force after it went after my bombers. Hope this clears up any confusion.

OOC: I assume that means they turned tail and ran... I'm also assuming they took the tanks with them. But if not, let me know and I'll edit accordingly.

"I'd say we overestimated their courage." CSM Crosby said, smirking.
"Oh hell yeah. If Flaherty City is like this, I think we'll have 'em whipped in a week's time. Did we get any of the deserters?"
"Tanks fired a few volleys, and I know some of the men took potshots at them. No confirmed kills through."
Demon smiled. "Not yet, anyways." He checked his armboard, the Charlie light was now lit. "We have Charlie, ma'am. Move out?"
"Move out."

OOC: Nope, they left the tanks where they were. Don't think that my city will go down that quick... Samtonia - here goes.

"Lieutenant! How are we doing? Any troop movements?"

"Well sir, it seems that five of our fighter planes are not on radar any more. We believe that they may have gone down while chasing those bombers away. Also, the final troops have entered the city and are taking up positions. We've lost about one hundred stragglers. They appeared to have been caught by some artillery fire."

"Any good news Lieutenant?"

"One more thing sir..."

"What?"

"The tank collum has fallen."

"Damn this stupid army! They'll be on the charge any minute. That was the last bit of defensive units we have until the city line."

1745 hours----Outskirts of Flahery City---Samtonian assault force---
Dowling nodded. The orderly ran off towards the communications tent and sonn the meassage was being broadcast on all bands, on giant speakers, on every means of radio communication going into Flaherty city.
"Majesto citizens! we come to liberate you from the harsh regime of Daniel Flaherty. We come to defend both our honor and our ally, who will be safe from this inmperialistic warmonger once we liberate you and your city. We are willing to leave Majesto- on one condition. Daniel flaherty must surrender. We will disband your army, leave a few inspectors to make sure you comply with disarament, take Flaherty and leave! This is your only chance. Capitualte and hand over Flaherty or we will open fire and bombard your city until all within it are dead! These are ther best trms we offer. They can only get worse from here. You have three hours."
The message played over and over again, in a continous loop, while artillery was aimed at the city.

OOC- Sorry, didn't have much time for the post. Apologize for quality. Majesto, you have three hours in-game time. Kurashita, hold off attacking until I post next please. Attacking the city that is, any other forces/towns/etc.. are fair game.

1800 hours - Northeast of Flaherty City - CCS Armoured Combat Divisions...

"No sign that they see us, sir," the deep voice of Capt. John Motter reported through the radio. "It seems they have all their attention focused towards the city."

"Very well, continue forward," General Thomas Igina replied through the radio, "but use extreme caution. At the first sign of trouble, start firing. They've got a force out there far greater than our own, and the only thing we have on our side is the element of surprise."

"That and the dusk, sir. It's getting dark awfully quick out here. We're just incredibly lucky their planes haven't spotted us by now. We're lucky to get this far."

"You're right about that, but it's worth the risk. Gathering our forces here is the best chance we have to defeat the enemy. If we can't defeat them here, we won't be able to defeat them anywhere else. Power in numbers, captain."

"Fifty tanks aren't going to make that much of a difference though."

"It's all we've got. We were forced to defend ourselves when we weren't ready, but we're in it now, and we've got to defend ourselves the best we can. Besides, we've managed to get together 100,000 reserve militiamen and we're sending them your way. They should arrive at the city in about six hours."

"That won't be soon enough, sir. The battle will be over by then. Those men will be trapped with nowhere left to run. They'll be slaughtered by the thousands."

"It's our best hope. If we lose at the Battle of Flaherty, we'll lose everywhere else. It's either they die there or they die somewhere else later."

"Well, you're the general. There's still no sign we've been spotted; we should be within firing range within minutes."

"Very well. Attack at the slightest sign that they've noticed you."

"Yes, sir. Catalia forever!" Capt. Motter saluted as the radio connection was cut, leaving General Igina all alone, with only a tear rolling down his cheek for the 150 brave men that were about to be slaughtered.

------------------------------------

OOC: I didn't intend to fool or trick the rest of you into thinking that my tanks (all 50 of them :P ) were at Flaherty City, I just wanted to be able to put something else in and I found that I never actually sent my tanks or fighters to Flaherty (see my declaration of war), I just kept them back in my nation, and sent only the infantry.

Sorry for any confusion this may have caused. I left the battle in your hands since you never saw this coming and it's only fair.

"Sir. I have some good news. The armored units from Cataliean States are just to the North of the city."

"Great. Ask them if they can try to flank the attacking enemy. If they try and bulldoze their way in, we can hold them off head on while they blow them up."

"Ok sir. I'll tell them right away... Oh - one question sir. What are we going to do if we run out of food?"

"You know something Lieutenant?"

"What sir?"

"We'll be in trouble, but I think that I have a plan. We'll talk about it later sir."

"All right sir. I'll have some more reports later."

OOC: Come on now people. Attack me soon. The suspense is killing me. Let's get this on...

Are you people planning on attacking or not?

OOC: Samtonia asked me to wait for him, so I am. When Samtonia attacks, so will I.

"What are our orders, Captain?" the young lieutenant asked Captain Motter.

"This looks awfully eerie," he replied. "There's no way they could have missed us with how close we are to them." Motter looked around the sunken battlefield, which seemed more and more like a forgotten graveyard the more he looked at it.

"There's even a few privates running circles around the enemy, sir," the lieutenant replied. "Quite literally, sir." As Motter looked towards the enemy he could see several dim figures running around some of the enemy vehicles.

"Get those idiots back here. The last thing we need is to lose soldiers to idiocy. In the meantime, contact Dictator Dan and see what he knows about this - because this almost seems too good to be true. It almost seems like a trap."

"Yes, sir. I'll see if I can get through to him."

"Very good, lieutenant. Maybe luck is on our side after all."

"Hopefully, sir. Catalia forever!"

-----------------------------------

OOC: The idiots running around your forces have no impact on anything in the war, Samtonia; I'm just taking a stick and poking the sleeping dragon :P .

OOC: LOL :lol:

IC:

"Sir, I have a problem."

"I know Lieutenant, we're out of food."

"What can we do sir?"

"Well, the enemy has been quiet for a couple of days. This may be our chance to get some food."

"But we're encircled sir."

"Hehe, not in the air though. Send some choppers out to those freighters and see what we can fit in them. Send a crew of one and load those babies up to the top."

"Do you think it will work sir?"

"Hopefully it will, we have have the chance now, let's take it."

"Yes sir, I'll get back to you later."

Senior Airman Patrick Dunphy watched the radar screen at his station. AWACS work was so terribly boring, what he would give to be in a Demon right now. Not like there was anything to attack, but st-
"Echo-Foxtrot, Echo-1. Picking up some choppers coming out of Majesto. Recommend you splash them."
"Echo-1, Echo-Foxtrot. Affirmative, we're outbound."
-----
Airman Matthew Marquesas popped his oxygen mask in place and ordered the rest of his fighters to do the same. He briefly checked his weapons readout; all eight 425mm (not quite seventeen inches) missiles were primed for combat. He checked his radar screen, looking for the offending choppers. He'd be damned if Majesto was going to invade HIS airspace.
"This is Ten. Contact out to bearing 32 by 38. I think we found them."
"Climb to combat altitude! We're going in!"
He pushed the throttle forward and sucked in a breath. He tagged one of the choppers as his and flipped open the cover on his first missile's firing switch.
"Echo-5, Fox-1!"
-----
OOC: Pop quiz, hotshot. You have six fighters inbound on your choppers, and at least one has fired. What do you do? What /do/ you do?
Okay, okay, I'll stop ripping off Speed for now. But yeah. I refuse to let you get supplies. Hopefully, you'll all eat each other before I have to invade. :D

count me in

OOC:
count me in
Uhm, signups are done. You can't join.

OOC: Have any of you people noticed that the war is GOING ON NOW? Oh, and the answer: SCREAM!!!

Do me a favor and let me know the current locations of all the troops from both sides. You guys know where mine are (all in the city). I need to see what's going on now so I can get some defenses together.

IC:

"Sir, we're being attacked we have fighters incoming on our choppers!"

"Turn them around, tell them to get back here now."

"We've just lost one sir, two, I'll get on the blower now."

"Jesus Christ."

"All right Sir, they're on their way back now. We may lose some more though."

"Salvage what we can. Call Catilean States and ask them if they have a supply line. Tell them to get us as many MRE's (Meals Ready to Eat - Army food) as they can into this city."

"Yes sir, I'll contact them now."

CCS Central Command - 20.45:

"Sir, Flaherty City has put out a desperate call for supplies. They're wondering if we could spare any supplies from the front lines."

"How quickly do they need them by?"

"A few days, at most, sir. They're running out pretty quickly over there."

"That's not good. We couldn't support a supply line for over 6 million people. Do they have anywhere where they can get food from?"

"Yes, sir. They have a few freighters packed with food, but they can't get to them, as the city is encircled and their choppers are being shot down every time they leave the city."

"Shot down by what?"

"Enemy fighters, sir."

"What forces do we have available that could help the Majestians get to the frieghters?"

"We have the 30,000 infantrymen inside the city already, 50 armoured combat vehicles northeast of the city, as well as 100,000 reserve militiamen set to arrive in about three hours. An additional 100,000 are undergoing training as we speak---."

"Right. As soon as those reserves get there, we're going to launch an attack on their advance force. This has gone far enough. What's the story with our fighters?"

"We have 25 fighters patrolling our airspace, but the council doesn't want to have to move those unless it's absolutely necessary. They won't want to chance a repeat of Queensville."

"We'll have to spare some of them. We can't let Flaherty starve. Order...15 fighters to Flaherty - see if they can help the choppers break through. 10 should be enough to guard our airspace, anyway."

"Right, sir. They should arrive in about an hour."

"Alright, let's hope they can help out."

"Hopefully, sir. Catalia forever!"

OOC: There's your 3 in-game hours Samtonia, can we get this started now?

OOC- Sorry I haven't posted in a few days. One day I tried was when the server went down due to extreme numbers and wouldn't let me post. Than, I got the stomach flu. Nasty thing it was. Finally- The Samtonian plan.
IC-
0650 hours----Flahertyville, Majesto(50 miles from Flaherty City)
"Five, four, three, two, one. That's it. All guns, open fire."
The sound of thousands of guns firing literally shook the horizon. Captain Abel Bentley, of the 14th Artillery Brigade, looked out through his binoculars into the distance. Even from the fifty miles distance they were out from Flaherty City, he could see the massive column of dust rising into the pale morning sky. His battery was firing as fast as they could, and the spent shell casings were rapidly piling up. 'No worries though.' he thought to himself. 'We've got enough supplies to keep firing until judgement day.'

0655 hours---- Port Flaherty----Beaches
And suddenly there was no more night. The beach erupted in a hug wall of flames as the naval vessels began their bombardment.
"Hot damn." whispered a marine private, as his landing craft moved towards shore. "Those sea-biscuts are good for something after all." This comment was met with a smattering of laughter from some of the other green sodiers, but was met with disdain from the veterans.
"Listen boy, you'll be glad for that bombardment by the time this day is done. Every enemy soldier killed by it is one less that can kill you."
This logic quickly quickly hit home and a sobered marine looked out of the gunwales. Hundreds of other craft spread out behind the one he was in, like some massive ballet of war.
"All right boys! We're going ashore!" And with that, the ramp clanged down and out went the marines, firing as they came.

0700 hours---Samtonian Mobile Headquarters--- 45 miles from Flaherty City
"Well, what is the word of our plan?' Gen. Abner Dowling leaned forward expectantly.
"Sir, we have staged landings near all major port cities in Majesto. Per your orders, our artillery is opening fire on Flaherty City and will not let up until word of surrendar is received."
"And the flanking columns?"
"Moving out sir. WE're sending the heavy recon patrols."
"The ones with the light tanks in them?"
"Yes sir."
"Excellent. I want Flaherty City surrounded by this time tomorrow. If we don't run into any troubles it'll be surrounded in six hours."
"Excellent. Make sure our allies in Kurashita receive the news."
"Already sent sir."
"Good job captain. The game is afoot."

Enclosed is the overall Samtonian plan for the capture of Flaherty City, the destruction of the Majestoan army, and the total seizure of Majesto by our forces. This document is eyes-only and you are urged to only share this with the people who absolutely need to see it.

A. Current Facts:
1.The Majestoan army is defending ONLY Flaherty City. They have moved all militia forces, air force planes, and army regulars to defend Flaherty City.
2. We currently outnumber the Majestoans. Samtonian forces alone outnumber both Majestoan forces and her ally, Catalien States, nearly three to one.
3. Our forces are preventing supplies from reaching Flaherty City. Fighter patrols are stooping any air-lifts and our submarines currently control the sea. Supplies can only reach Flaherty city by ground, from only the nothern areas of the city.

B. Goals:
1. Destruction of Majestoan and Catalien forces, by any means necessary.
2. Occupation of Flaherty city, the center of Majestoan trade, military production, and propaganda production.
3. Occupation of Majestoan land.
4. Occupation of Majestoan ports.

C. Plan overview
In order to achieve our goals, we need to use our assets to our benefit. One asset is numbers. We need to use these. With the numbers we have, we can send forces throughout Majesto and our enemies cannot respond. Samtonian forces are attacking major ports already. If these fall, we will control their only other way to get supplies- The sea. It is hoped that our numbers can be used to:
1. Surround Flaherty City. This will enable us to contain all enemy armed forces, but also to enable us to starve them out if we have to.
2. Destroy important areas of land. We can send troops around to occupy or destroy factories, farms, airports- all the things Majesto needs but cannot protect.
Thus, we need to first fortify lines around the city to prevent Catalien reinforcements from making a difference.

D.Plan- Flaherty City
First, we will strengthen the lines around the Samtonian artillery. Samtonian troops are already entrenched and tanks are moving to support. Next, we will strengthen the lines around Flaherty City. Our forces, as well as yours, are currently beginning to entrench themselves around the southern, western, and eastern parts of the city. Troops are to be called from Kurashita to help reinforce these lines, and troops from Samtonia will reinforce Kurashita. Finally, we will attempt to surround Flaherty City. Samtonian forces already are looping around the city. If we can cut them off, we will eventually cause them to surrender. If this all happens, we will be able to bombard them until surrender is attained.

E. Plan- The Rest of Majesto
Due to the fact that there are no troops in the rest of Majesto that we know of, this should be a relatively easy plan to follow. First, we seize all strategic areas. Ports, railroads, grain storage areas- All wil be under our control. Next, we can move inland, securing the supply lines leading into Flaherty City to help the situation there. Reinforcement will be easy, as with our control of the ports, troops can be moved in a short amount of time.

F. Current Forces Location
Currently, our forces are situated perfectly to support this plan. The majority of forces are near Flaherty City, with about 2/3's of our combined forces surrounding the portions of the city already mentioned. The other 1/3 is about 50 miles away, near the town of Flahertyville. Our artillery and the forces protecting them are here. Our planes are flying patrols over the territory we have won and the territory we are contesting, most prolifically in the area of Majesto City, where we have nearly 1/3 of our thousands of aircraft patrolling. Major forces are moving from their positions in Kurashita to reinforce ours around Flaherty City and more divisions are moving from Samtonia to Kurashita. Marines are landing at major Majestoan ports and will be reinforced shortly after they take the ports. Our surface navy is supporting the beach landings and our subs are patrolling the ocean to keep our dominance of the seas going.

Your feedback is recommended on this plan as soon as possible.
Yours, General Abner Dowling, PRSA Commanding officer

OOC: How many troops do you have? I mentioned that I called up about 1-2 million people from the city to help defend it. I also have the 50,000 or so real troops... I mean, it can't be that big can it?

IC:

"Sir, Catilean States says that they don't have the resources to feed the city. But they did say that they'd help clear the skys over the city."

"Ok Lieutenant, send some ground forces out - 10,000 - out the North end of the city and see if we can find a way to capture a port. It's our only hope to survive."

"Yes sir, I think that we should send out more troops though, mabye 30,000 and see if we can get the small port city of Humber. We should capture it fairly easy."

"Can I have a status report on the enemy?"

"Well sir, they're on the move from the South. They should be at the city line in a little while."

"Well sir. We're ready to fight."

"Do not surrender. Fight to the death. If they really want a war, they can have one."

IC:

CSM Crosby looked at her suit's front, where a trio of white stars had just been spray-painted. This signified that she had just been placed in command of all offensive forces - almost three hundred and fifty /THOUSAND/ personnel were at her fingertips.
"Demon, got any word on those tanks we picked up?"
"Not really, other than the techies almost creamed their shorts when they heard about it."
"Hum. We got any- hold up." Words had begun to crawl over her HUD.
"Hello, hello.... encircle and dig into the city, all troops except for 6th Special Brigade, 3rd through 7th Infantry Companies, and 12th and 13th Air Squadrons. Designate them Rampage Group. Rampage group will do just that around the countryside, kill everything not friendly, especially things like farms and factories and generally wrecking their ability to wage war. The main group will encircle Flaherty City on all sides, not just this one facing, and dig in. Bomb the shit out of that city, too. Got that?"
"I think so, ma'am." Demon said.
"Good. Get to it, soldier."

OOC- These are the troops around or near Flaherty City.
2,745,600 total soldiers
264,000 Special Forces
105,600 engineers
2,376,000 infantry
303,600 total vehicles
79,200 MAV’s
79,200 Koshi Light Tanks
79,200 Artillery Units
52,800 T-7 Gilgamesh MBTs
26,400 SAM launchers
3,379 Fighters
633 Bombers
As you see, I can outnumber you. Maybe not three to one, but- Oh well, that's propoganda. The rest of my forces are going around the countryside and a number equalling about 1/3 of my troops from the beginning have been dispatched to your coast. Don't worry, I'll RP it. Meanwhile, my marines are all spread out but have captured the major port cities. Once again, RPing later. The helos are all supporting the marines. So, my plans will be revealed later tonight and possibly going into tomorrow.

Senior Airman Ben Miller continued to scan the ground of Flaherty City for his designated grid. The city had been split up into thirty equal sections. They were running out of bombs, so they had to make these count.
The strength and weakness of the Spire bomber, Ben mused, was its payload. The designers had sacrificed everything possible to increase the payload, including, Ben thought grumpily, leg room.
"Ben, we're here," his copilot, Airman Madge Jacobs, called.
Ben flipped on his helmet mike. "Bombadier ready?"
"Bombadier ready. Let's blast these suckers. Just watch out for SAMs..."
"Yeah, yeah... release when ready!"
The aircraft began to shake violently, but Ben had learned to not fear it. It was just the bombs releasing. A few seconds ago, the airplane had weighed a shade over 75 tons. Now, it weighed a shade over 25. Across the airspace of Flaherty City, twenty-nine other bombers did the same. Between all thirty, three /million/ pounds of bombs had been dropped.
Ben hoped this would count. They didn't have the bombs to do something like this again for months. He did know it would mean no more than twenty bombs for each plane when they got back, and there was no sense wasting that on another run like this.
He turned around, vigilant for any SAM launchers that might present themselves.

OOC: So you're bombing a city of six million people (5 million civilians)? That's crazy, but here goes nothing:

IC:

"Sir? Do you hear something?"

"I don't..."

"...HIT THE GROUND!!!"

<<<Insert the deafning sound of explosions and the violent shaking of the ground for about three minutes>>>

"Holy shit! What in God's name was that?"

"I don't know sir, I'm going to go outside and see what that was."

When the Lieutenant walked outside, all he could see was rubble and flames for as far as the eye could see. The look on his face could not be described by words. He looked to the left, the governmental complex was destroyed, the federal court house was up in flames and the television station's antenna fell over and crushed the defense ministry. To the right, he should have seen the stock exchange - he saw nothing....

"Jesus Christ, my city." Dan went out himself because the Lieutenant never came back down. "It's razed to the ground. My city, this was my life - these people were my people, my people..."

"Sir? Are you all right?"

"Lieutenant, my city is gone. It looks like they killed at least a million people. All I can see is flames."

"Should we surrender sir, mabye they'll let us live."

"Surrender? For what? There's nothing left to live for. If we're going to die, we might as well kill some of them while we're at it."

OOC: So, here's a status report. Flaherty City is no more, about 750,000 people died and in that about 25,000 were soldiers. All the planes arrived back safely because you blew up the SAM sites. Anyhow, I'd appreciate it if the next RP was about Humber because I have my own plan up my sleeve...

IC:

--> Three miles outside of Humber, Lt. Smith

"Lieutenant?"

"Yes soldier?"

"We recieved word from the scouts, the town is nearly empty. It seems like the enemy resistance is light."

"Ok, thanks soldier. ALL FORCES - MOVE OUT FULL SPEED."

--> Within firing range of Humber, Lt. Smith

"COMPANY HALT. Men - I want the front squad to fire two clips of ammo into the town. I want them to know that we mean business."

"3... 2... 1... FIRE." <<<Machine Gun fire for about thirty seconds, subsiding and then another thirty seconds of fire>>>

"Hum? It seems awfuly quiet in that town. Let's camp here for a while and see what's going on. Let's send about 10 guys in there to scout it out."

--> Flaherty City

<<< The city is burning at an alarming rate after the Kuratshian air raids. The entire downtown is in flames and the fire is spreading to the residential areas. The city's fire department's attempts to curb the flames are valiant at best because of blocked roads, ruptured water mains, and few fire tenders. People are fleeing the city and running out into the countryside in an attempt to flee the flames. Of this, 30,000 men laid down their arms and ran.>>>

OOC-Come on, those bombers should only be bombing rubble by now. Of course the city is destroyed, 7,000 FREAKING SAMTONIAN ARTILLERY UNITS HAVE BEEN FIRING AT IT NON-STOP FOR NEARLY A DAY NOW!!!!!
Sorry, I get anal-retentive when someone else gets all the blowing-uppy stuff attributed to them. Oh, where is Humber? Just wondering. That is all.

IC-
0715 hours---- Port Flaherty----City Square
The marines marched through the square of Port Flaherty. The landings had been accomplished with no losses- In fact, there had been no resistance. A few guerillas had attacked them as the marines worked their way into the city, but nothing major had happened yet. As one private looked back, he could see the shape of a ship docking at the newly liberated prot area. Men and troops began pouring out. Reeinforcements could come to Majesto itself now.

0723 hours----Northern sector of Flaherty City
The armored group slowly looped around Flaherty City. "Sir, we're picking up some readings on the scanners."
The tank commander sighed. "Could it be the tanks coming from the other side of Flaherty city to help us encircle the city perhaps?"
The driver shook his head. "No sir. They're just sitting there standing still. But they're not Majestoan..."
Suddenly an MAV next to their vehicle erupted in flames.
"Holy S**T!" screamed the driver as the recon grup lurched forwards. "They're allis of Majesto!"
the tank commander grimaced as a Koshi blew up. "Get HQ on the line! WE need to let them know and we need support!" He got on the radio himself for the company he was commanding. "All vehicles, weapons free. Weapons are free. The enemy tank column lit up with both 155 mm cannon fire and heavy anti-tank missiles fired at them. Though the Samtonian forces had taken casualties, they would return the favor...

Total forces lost:
23 MAV's
11 Koshi Tanks
16 marines

OOC:

To the north of the city, it's a small port city of about 10,000. My troops used that gap in the siege to get out.

OOC:

Catalien States said that he was going on Spring Break for a week. He also said that I'm in full control of his armed forces. Just wanted to let you guys know about that...

Come on now, whenever you people want to attack... I want this war to be over by Sunday, please. I mean, this has been going on for so freakin long and all of my troops are tied up. So please, let's get this on for the love of God. Besides, the suspense is killing me!

OOC- WEll, I was waiting for you to atack that small port. Oh well. I'll post sometime tomorrow. That will probably be my final post as I'll be gone all weekend and it will culminate with the invasion of Flaherty City. So you'll get your big final battle. Bye for now.

OOC:

I said that my troops were within fireing range of the city. You know that I can't say that my units didn't find anyone, nor can I say that my units found people. That's your RP.

Anyhow, I'm kind of glad that this will go out in style. I'll be on tonight or tomorrow morning, so we'll take this baby out in a bang.

OOC- I am so very sorry. I cannot really post tnight, so if you could wait till Sunday night I will have a proper ending to this RP. Again, apoligies of the greatest of my abilities are in order.

OOC:

There's no need to be sorry, as long as it's done soon and the ending is good, I don't really care. I mean, we have been doing this for so long, it's to the point when you want to start some new venture AND at the same time you can't wait to see what's going to happen.

Wow looks like I didn't miss a lot after all...I'll be waiting for your next attacks.

OOC:

You see? They don't want to RP anymore. I'm going to send some TMs now and see why they quit.

CCS Press Statement:

"The Commonwealth of Catalien States has officially declared victory in absentia in the war against Samtonia and its allies."
