OOC: Since Resi has had some RL issues to deal with and the "Onto Resi" Thread was beginning to look like a flamewar. I took the liberty to spend an hour to summarize the attacks on Resi, not attacks on allies and such but only the attacks on Resi. I won't bother to post a reason to this war since this war, like so many others, has so many reasons to war, some real, and some manufactured. In Bold are the attacks people has made and if Resi has answered them I have written it in bold as well. My hope is that this will faciliate the war a little. If I missed something please T-gram me and I'll edit.
Der Angst
1. Resi: First of all, i need to know where your forces are, the territory they stand in, etc.. Just anything satellites + the drohnes could find out.
Then, how do your robot drohnes work? Independently, or are they fully controlled by a central command, OR independent but they follow ttransmissions from the high command.
Also, do they send information about the tactical situation to the high command so that it can react? (If not, they are practically useless crap...)
Then, for all others: Current deployments/ attacks:
Attacks: Only the forementioned drohnes, the transporters will be gone long before Resi Territory is hit, actually, i assume the Coalition against resi has air superiority where the Drohnes are released.
Deployments: Three fleets near the Iesus fleet.
Six fleets in Resi Corp Orbit. (Anyone ortillering the coalition against Resi HAS to RP getting around them, just to make this clear...)
Orbit above The Resi corp:
Six fleets where there, howering above earth.
Now, slowly, one by one, their fighters and bombers started from the shipbays...
1944 bomber, protected by 972 fighters (The other 972 ones are protecting the fleets), headed towards earth orbit... the ships where not too near, in 30000km earth orbit... slowly, the attack force came near...
Every bomber had 20 tons of explosives loaded... they would descend to 500km earth orbit, then a rain of 38880 tons of explosives would hit Resi´s islands... Resi Corp in General, and Resi City in particular were the aims...
Rain of death.
[ooc: accuracy, depending on weather conditions, is naturally horrible. 10% can be assumed. But then, it´s not intended as a surgical attack.]
---
Meanwhile, the three fleets that, together with coalition members, maintained the blockade, had fully emerged from the water... 972 bombers and 486 fighters started to hit The Resi corp coastal defences, while 486 more fighters stayed near the fleets, protecting them.
19440 tons of explosives, intended to smash anything that stood in the way of the coalition...
Every fighter carrierd a single, heavy missile, replacing half of their normal missile armament... this missile would automatically be fired at any active scanner system that could lead Resi air defences against the coalition airpower.
Although the chance it would happen was slow... the bombers, and the fighters with them, would reach an altitude of 80km, and throw their bombs from there...
High above anything else.
[ooc: Accuracy slightly better, i think ~ 50%.]
---
But the most important part was, of course, to take out The Resi Corporations own airpower.
For this strike, 1/3 of the entire DA airpower was used.
2880 fighters were protecting as many bombers, carrying 57600 tons of weaponery... missiles, actually, intended to be fired 400km from the Resi Corp coastline.
They were programmed to hit airfields, planes standing on the ground, facilities near airfields.
This planes, as well, would hit an altitude of 80km, and fire from there.
[ooc: Accurecy ~90%, way easier to aim with missiles.]
All three attacks were coordinated, so that they would hit one after another:
At first, the strike against the airfields.
Fifteen minutes later, the bombardement of the coastal defences
Again, fifteen minutes later, the bombardement of Resi city.
---
While the planes were starting, concentrating, The three fleets that had joined the coalition fleet opened fire to hit the coastal defences as well.
1035 guns opened fire, plasma, 10000 kelvin hot, hit the coastal defences.

Iesus Christi
OH OH I'm so scared Smithers protect me from the Harmonas! save me! save me!
The combined air assualts continue on this enemy of humanity, a further 100 Strato bombers of Condor Legion have been added to the continued bombardment of the evil resi corp...With the resi Corp city being rather....corporate in nature...the first incoming firebombing compaigns should reap interesting results.
Still massed allied air/missle/navy assualts will continue to soften up target landing areas...but now Iesus and reich allies begin the ever famous 'firebombings'.
The Combined fleet is ordered to prepare for landings....
"Unfriendly aircraft trying to enter Resi airspace...."
Commander Von Lipzig grinned
"excellent. Open fire ..and have a fighter squad pick at the survivors.."
From throughout the blockading fleet, sea to air missiles target, and fire on any craft violating the Embargo...No warnings are given, only swift assaults
*OOC:as much as I dare/care say about craft crossing our battle groups like they are crewed by blind monkeys*
"This is condor flight....taking off for freedom..."
Condor Flight, over 150 Heavy bombers with over 90 escort fighters take off for central targets in resi. This would be carpet bombing with more than a fair share of incendiary munitions chucked in..
As with the Der angst attacks accuracy wouldn't be the highlight of the event, but the expected high death toll and chaos would please the Allied commanders.
Hand in hand with these civilian/industry targeted campaigns goes the more sensible/tactical constant suppression and attacks on the landing areas and there support networks, lead by Elite veteran air units, these attacks care nothing for civilian dead, only victory matters. Wave after wave of aircraft, ignoring losses fly against the resi defenses.
A Iesus Me1000 fighter , smoke purring from its engines come to symbolize the pride and patriotism of the Reich...For even as it went down, the pilot Lt John Halt refused to eject, instead piloting his craft into a resicorp defense array. His last words screamed over his radio to air command would be replayed again and again throughout the Reich along with the footage of his heroic act provided by Iesus warcam .
" GOD IS GREAT! HEIL IESUS! God is Grea...."
As zero hour hit...and the loyal allies of the coalition of liberation struck from within Resi Corp, General McClean, supreme commander of Iesus forces ordered the landings to begin, hundreds of thousands would land , reclaiming a kingdom for God. The combined battle groups would swamp resi....
"Give 'em hell boys! Yeeeehaw!" The Captain waved his Ak-47 above his head the Landcraft rushed towards land "GOD IS GREAT! Legio Martyrs always moves 'em! "
The Captain look at the sky, over head flew almost countless aircraft flew support for the landing...missles flew low over head at the resi devil...even navy guns where opening fire giving the landing support...
"Yeeeeeeeeeee haw! God is damn great!"

The pilots flip a switch and the 12 hypersonic craft fade back into view their active stealth returning to it's dormant state. Checking their locations in relative to Resi Corp positions the squadron commander smiles. Ordering the craft to drop to bombing altitudes he eases back the throttle slowing the jet to a easier to handle mach 5 dropping down they arm their weapons and lock onto targets each jet firing 5 of their missiles off.
Pulling up from their run the 12 craft disappear into the sky once more turning about they activate their scanners and prepare to watch what ever damage their attacks will cause.
Smiling softly the commander orders the jets to prepare for yet another attack run on different holdings once these targets are gone.
Whispering Voices
Attack summary. The <*> fleet of the Sixteenth Expedition, and its allies from Murderous Tendencies, Endless Regrets, Quiet Laughter and Hushed Breaths are approaching from the north-east of the Resi Corporation, coming through the centre channel between Resi and Sketchin (I'm guessing from the Corporate Islands map I'm looking at, that's going to be international waters anyway).
Submarines are sweeping the undersea areas, planes the sky areas, intelligence satellites are sneaking into the vast junkyards of orbit to spy down.
If possible, I'd like a rough description of what's on the three islands that are part of the Resi Corporation. Also, where the nanotech production facilities are known to be.
* denotes numbers determined by Resi. If he has an insane force or is using puppets for his military, then each of my four fiefdoms (with it's own distinct personality, too, if you read the other thread! Yay me!) will provide a full sized army. Considering they're all in the top 1500 for defence spend and over a billion each, the armies are pretty big
If there are no puppets, the fiefdoms are only for flavour text.
Thanks. I prefer maps.
Alright - the Sixteenth is headed towards Jain and Unus island, with some preparing to break off to head to Nai Island once the satellites get approximate numbers.
It's expected that the vast majority of ground forces will be at the heart of Resi - Resi City - because that's where they'll be more useful - so looking for troop concentrations on Nai Isle, surface and low water (not deep water, sats aren't that good) shipping, and air bases.
And, of course, to see what facilities are visible on Nai Isle and Jain and Unus isle.

It begins.
Targeting the Resi Corporation ships, the OOTG opens fire with everything they’ve got. At point blank range, blanketing every ship they have detected [OOC: using The ESP (Extruding Sensor Pod) system, which includes direct-sensing microcrafts (less than 1 kilogram) with high-energy particle detection, low-energy charged particle detection, plasma detection, dust detection, magnetometric detection, electrostatic and electromagnetic 3-dimensional plasma wave detection. It also contains valuable equipment for remote-sensing capabilities including various optical imaging instruments, infrared radiometers, polarimeters, photometers, gamma-, alpha- ray, neutron, alpha particle, electron reflectometric spectrometers. And of course, active sensing instruments like synthetic aperture radar, radiometric altimeter, LIDAR, etc, mountable on a reflexive scan platform arm. The newer models include neutrino detection and pinpoint gravity field/wave detection. Whew!]
In one second, thousands of missiles fly out of the MMATS, accelerated to hypervelocity using advanced coilgun technology, further boosted by drives of their own. Guided by the MP1 system and its “children,” the missiles systems receive calculations and controls for attitude and articulation control, spin stabilization, three-axis stabilization, including all necessary and related subsystems.
At close range, with no warning , with every numerical advantage, the deadly barrage will reach its target in almost 1 second and continue for a full minute until Resi’s space forces are hammered into oblivion.
[OOC: I’m gonna just say that 1) your point defenses would have to be able to distinguish between friend and foe, within a fraction of a second. Otherwise, if you’re somehow suspecting this surprise attack, and your PD was prepared to shoot at PCC targets, then you would have already fired on my ships as they too are within point-blank range, having been placed there explicitly for your protection. 2) I really, really doubt anyone would have detected from any of the above what I just did ahead of time. I gave some routine messages alluding to the fact that our agreed upon enemy here, Iesus, is attacking, so our weapons were gonna go hot. Everything else, like the meeting in the beginning, is equally unlikely for you to have any IC knowledge of it. Most likely, OOCly too!]

At the same time, with clock-like efficiency, the combined surface assault begins. While Resi’s orbital forces are occupied with the OOTG and the attacking Reich fleets, the smooth-hulled trimaran warships gliding through Corporate Islands waters launch missiles of their own. Military targets on the Resi Corporation island are virtual magnets for air- and sea-launched tactical and cruise missiles. Though not as fast as kinetics, they scream through the air at varying altitudes, below radar and above. Faarston, Largi and Resi City are all targeted as well.
The four Hamas class battleships aim their massive 300 mm guns at targets up to 35 kilometers inland, using boosted semi-guided artillery shells, launching the titanic projectiles onto any targets they can reach. Shore based missile and gun batteries, air bases, robot forces, even war factories. Dozens of guided missile cruisers, destroyers, and frigates launch their attacks. Meanwhile, substantial forces are dedicated to detecting and defending against the Resi Corp’s submarinal fleets, while another force provides cover.
The rear echelon PCC warships idly watch as the Whispering Voices and Reich naval fleets and transports approach the doomed corporations’ island. On the decks, when they pass, several hundreds of the PCC crewmen gather on the railings to salute their Devils Desert neighbors, and Veganan, Iesus and Reichskamphen ships.
-
In the air, the Maritime Air Force Projection Squadron and the 4th Air Corps send Fighter and Bomber Groups, targeting Resi Corporation military aircraft and secondary ground targets; again, mostly military and some industrial facilities are chosen. Air Theatre Dominance (ATD) is now the mission. Hundreds of planes cover a wide range of area, the Bullwhip fighters eagerly seeking out enemy aircraft and providing cover for the bombers, naval and ground forces, hoping to take advantage of the few minutes of confusion the Resi Corporation human leadership would be in.
-
The 7th Army Group, nearly a quarter of a million men and thousands of the latest Gavel tanks in addition to the upgraded Enforcers, in place and ready, moves against Resi. The 16th-24th Air Assault Divisions, with thousands of troops in hundreds of ground-attack helicopters, set out on the short journey from one Corporate Island (with advance units from naval-based carriers just off the coast) to the south and southwest portion of Resi’s. They plow through the air at high speeds, protected from on high by orbital fighters, platforms, and allied aircraft, and from below by the Fleet Defense frigates, with the variety of anti-air weapons of the NOTG ships.
Kalessin
It was night in Resi Corporation, and the The moon was full, and the stars twinkled in the sky, casting their gentle radiance over land and sea. Then, thunder rolled across the heavens, and the moon and stars were swallowed up by dark, swirling clouds. Out at sea, the waves began to rise, crashing against the shore with unbridled rage. The ocean itself was covered in a thick blanket of impenetrable mist. Then, gigantic shadows began to appear in the depths of the mist, like mountains rising up from the waves. With inexorable slowness, these monstrous apparitions began to move towards the shore, and the waters seemed to part slightly before them, as if to ease their progress, while the winds, as if in fear, flew away from them, pushing them onwards, and not daring to resist their movement.
These terrifying mountains of shadow were ten in number, in aspect like great floating palaces, their towers stretching up towards the now-invisible heavens. They sedately swept forward towards the shore, and as they reached land, their great doors opened, and from them emerged a column of warriors, all clad in black leather armour, wielding that most traditional weapon, the AK-47. Rank after rank poured outwards in complete silence, until nigh-on two-hundred-thousand warriors had emerged, after them followed ten tall cloaked figures, under whose garments the unmistakeable outlines of swords could be seen, and beside each strode four wizened, hunched creatures, their features hidden within cowled black robes. And then, as the final figure strode out the gates of the final barge, all ten, with a terrible wail, swept out to sea at an insane speed.
Menemalcar
The image of Serendis seemed to explode into whirling shards of light, which reformed into a rotating Menelmacari insignia, which in turn shifted back to the tactical display.
"Move us over Resi and commence tactical bombardment," Ilmarë ordered. "I want military targets destroyed. Then the troops will prepare for an orbital drop."
The crew went about the business of carrying out their orders. The ships slipped silently through the void, centering themselves above Resi City... and then, again silently in the vacuum of space, streams of crimson light seared forth from the many cannons of the fleet. Blazing down through the atmosphere, the blasts were aimed at anything within fifty miles of Resi City capable of mounting resistance against a Menelmacari attack.
Infinite Loving
"Heil Freedom!"
The infantry are first, moving quickly and methodically across beaches ripped to shreds by artillery. They flow inwards, pressing ahead, calling in naval and air support fire as needed. Every man a hundred kilos of whalebone and rawhide if he is an ounce, clad in combat gear and well armed. Soon, the first vehicles roll off and add their weight of fire... and now it becomes support fire.
"Heil Equality!"
Napalm and incendiary cluster munitions and overpressure weapons are a large part of the choirs' support capability. Fire, to burn the sin from the sinner. And many of the soldiers carry a special version of the Wehrmacht-standard carbine/grenade launcher combination, with the grenade launcher replaced by a bullpup incinerator.
"Heil Brotherhood!"
What could have been a costly landing becomes an efficient advance as the defending mechanisms do little, and are isolated and reduced to scrap. Perhaps shoddy workmanship is the reason for the numbers, perhaps lack of leadership for the apathy. Now two full army groups are deploying through one Reich landing zone, and the vast numbers of engineers present in IL organization toil and toil and toil.
"Heil God!"

Under cover of the night and heavy ortillery and artillery bombardment the might hovercraft fleet sneaked away from the main fleet and started to move towards its target: Nai Isle. Speeding away at over 70 knots and without making a sound on Sonar or radar the heavy camoflaged fleet were going to attack from the flank and create a beachhead on the isle. Thousands of men would die, even if Resi were taken by surprise, but Nai Isle was an exceelent place to land a large fleet on and from there move to the mainland of Resi Corp.
At the same time V4 rockets struck at military installements on Nai Isle, the goal was to keep their heads down until the swift Hooverfleet could outflank them and attack from behind.
The Reich Wehrmacht
"The order is to launch a V-5..." the Hauptmann's aide read in a state of shock. "That thing can wipe out an entire city. It is the size of the friggen space shuttle...and almost impossible to stop!"
"At last..." the Hauptmann rejoiced, "a better test of our weapon."
The V-5 Non Nuclear ICBM was close to the size of the space shuttle. It had the capacity to wipe out an entire large city like Resi City in one strike without leaving behind any radiation or long lasting contaminants. It was launched the same way a space shuttle would be and was equipped with a secret defense system whose actions would engage only when attacked. It had only been used once before in the British Imperialism Campaign and it had effectively leveled the Capitol of BI.
It was misting lightly when the heavy liquid fuel rocket climbed skyward with the massive V-5 atop it. Paint chips flung off as it broke through the stratosphere and into space. It leveled its trajectory towards Resi City. The destruction in such a highly populated and built up city would be immense. Deaths expected to be in the hundreds upon hundreds of thousands. The V-5 broke away from the Rocket and Fired its own engines, doubling its speed and sending it in towards Resi City. It broke through the atmosphere at a high speed...

Meanwhile, substantial forces are dedicated to detecting and defending against the Resi Corp’s submarinal fleets, while another force provides cover.
The rear echelon PCC warships idly watch as the Whispering Voices and Reich naval fleets and transports approach the doomed corporations’ island. On the decks, when they pass, several hundreds of the PCC crewmen gather on the railings to salute their Devils Desert neighbors, and Veganan, Iesus and Reichskamphen ships.

In the air, the Maritime Air Force Projection Squadron and the 4th Air Corps send Fighter and Bomber Groups, targeting Resi Corporation military aircraft and secondary ground targets; again, mostly military and some industrial facilities are chosen. Air Theatre Dominance (ATD) is now the mission. Hundreds of planes cover a wide range of area, the Bullwhip fighters eagerly seeking out enemy aircraft and providing cover for the bombers, naval and ground forces, hoping to take advantage of the few minutes of confusion the Resi Corporation human leadership would be in.

The 7th Army Group, nearly a quarter of a million men and thousands of the latest Gavel tanks in addition to the upgraded Enforcers, in place and ready, moves against Resi. The 16th-24th Air Assault Divisions, with thousands of troops in hundreds of ground-attack helicopters, set out on the short journey from one Corporate Island (with advance units from naval-based carriers just off the coast) to the south and southwest portion of Resi’s. They plow through the air at high speeds, protected from on high by orbital fighters, platforms, and allied aircraft, and from below by the Fleet Defense frigates, with the variety of anti-air weapons of the NOTG ships.

It was night in Resi Corporation, and the The moon was full, and the stars twinkled in the sky, casting their gentle radiance over land and sea. Then, thunder rolled across the heavens, and the moon and stars were swallowed up by dark, swirling clouds. Out at sea, the waves began to rise, crashing against the shore with unbridled rage. The ocean itself was covered in a thick blanket of impenetrable mist. Then, gigantic shadows began to appear in the depths of the mist, like mountains rising up from the waves. With inexorable slowness, these monstrous apparitions began to move towards the shore, and the waters seemed to part slightly before them, as if to ease their progress, while the winds, as if in fear, flew away from them, pushing them onwards, and not daring to resist their movement.
These terrifying mountains of shadow were ten in number, in aspect like great floating palaces, their towers stretching up towards the now-invisible heavens. They sedately swept forward towards the shore, and as they reached land, their great doors opened, and from them emerged a column of warriors, all clad in black leather armour, wielding that most traditional weapon, the AK-47. Rank after rank poured outwards in complete silence, until nigh-on two-hundred-thousand warriors had emerged, after them followed ten tall cloaked figures, under whose garments the unmistakeable outlines of swords could be seen, and beside each strode four wizened, hunched creatures, their features hidden within cowled black robes. And then, as the final figure strode out the gates of the final barge, all ten, with a terrible wail, swept out to sea at an insane speed.
Menemalcar
The image of Serendis seemed to explode into whirling shards of light, which reformed into a rotating Menelmacari insignia, which in turn shifted back to the tactical display.
"Move us over Resi and commence tactical bombardment," Ilmarë ordered. "I want military targets destroyed. Then the troops will prepare for an orbital drop."
The crew went about the business of carrying out their orders. The ships slipped silently through the void, centering themselves above Resi City... and then, again silently in the vacuum of space, streams of crimson light seared forth from the many cannons of the fleet. Blazing down through the atmosphere, the blasts were aimed at anything within fifty miles of Resi City capable of mounting resistance against a Menelmacari attack.
Infinite Loving
"Heil Freedom!"
The infantry are first, moving quickly and methodically across beaches ripped to shreds by artillery. They flow inwards, pressing ahead, calling in naval and air support fire as needed. Every man a hundred kilos of whalebone and rawhide if he is an ounce, clad in combat gear and well armed. Soon, the first vehicles roll off and add their weight of fire... and now it becomes support fire.
"Heil Equality!"
Napalm and incendiary cluster munitions and overpressure weapons are a large part of the choirs' support capability. Fire, to burn the sin from the sinner. And many of the soldiers carry a special version of the Wehrmacht-standard carbine/grenade launcher combination, with the grenade launcher replaced by a bullpup incinerator.
"Heil Brotherhood!"
What could have been a costly landing becomes an efficient advance as the defending mechanisms do little, and are isolated and reduced to scrap. Perhaps shoddy workmanship is the reason for the numbers, perhaps lack of leadership for the apathy. Now two full army groups are deploying through one Reich landing zone, and the vast numbers of engineers present in IL organization toil and toil and toil.
"Heil God!"
Vegana
Under cover of the night and heavy ortillery and artillery bombardment the might hovercraft fleet sneaked away from the main fleet and started to move towards its target: Nai Isle. Speeding away at over 70 knots and without making a sound on Sonar or radar the heavy camoflaged fleet were going to attack from the flank and create a beachhead on the isle. Thousands of men would die, even if Resi were taken by surprise, but Nai Isle was an exceelent place to land a large fleet on and from there move to the mainland of Resi Corp.
At the same time V4 rockets struck at military installements on Nai Isle, the goal was to keep their heads down until the swift Hooverfleet could outflank them and attack from behind.
The Reich Wehrmacht
"The order is to launch a V-5..." the Hauptmann's aide read in a state of shock. "That thing can wipe out an entire city. It is the size of the friggen space shuttle...and almost impossible to stop!"
"At last..." the Hauptmann rejoiced, "a better test of our weapon."
The V-5 Non Nuclear ICBM was close to the size of the space shuttle. It had the capacity to wipe out an entire large city like Resi City in one strike without leaving behind any radiation or long lasting contaminants. It was launched the same way a space shuttle would be and was equipped with a secret defense system whose actions would engage only when attacked. It had only been used once before in the British Imperialism Campaign and it had effectively leveled the Capitol of BI.
It was misting lightly when the heavy liquid fuel rocket climbed skyward with the massive V-5 atop it. Paint chips flung off as it broke through the stratosphere and into space. It leveled its trajectory towards Resi City. The destruction in such a highly populated and built up city would be immense. Deaths expected to be in the hundreds upon hundreds of thousands. The V-5 broke away from the Rocket and Fired its own engines, doubling its speed and sending it in towards Resi City. It broke through the atmosphere at a high speed...
