The Eldar Attack may have caught a democratic weak willed nation off guard, but that was not hte case with teh Vascilian Forces, High Above teh Battle, as the first sign of war rumbled, three MAssive Ikazucki carriers Opened fire on predetermined Ground targets, Massive high Energy Ingelstung beams carving deep holes in the rock and excising large portions of their military stagin grounds. The Tannelorn naval troopers and their Slate Grey Garfish Transports stood ready for the inevitable assault of Eldar War engines, Pitting Science and steel against Alien science and magicks. The Tannelorn Naval Troopers, the most potent Troops in the entire league stood alongside their Brothers and Sisters, be they human or Eldar[elven in Tannelorn] REady to repel the invaders, the sisnister skull motiffs of the noriaganian soldiers in stark Contrast to the Knightly grace of the Tannelorn Armed forces soldiers. Tannelorn Veritech Hover tanks stood side by side with Bevrage concerns massive Destroids,
Robotic Titans armed with the equivalent firepower of a twentieth century tank company. Over head Screeched the smaller Alpha and beta Veritechs of the Tannelorn defense forces, along with the Larger "Macross Series Veritechs of Bevrage concerns. Along with this were the literally millions of troopers from the AFDF and the defenses of the Wall and Carpentaria Base went in to action, before the order to fire was even given.
ooc ok lets get this ground war organised....and for You Tor Yvresse the Naval Troopers are essentially equivalent to a whole legion of Space marines [20 000 in all] only better equipped, and the Tannelorn Army soldiers may as well be aspect warriors with lasblasters and heavy weapons. and the small but deadly VHT hovertanks are like predators that float around and turn in to Robot modes [ie Wraithlord equiv]
I am a majour 40k fan and i play Eldar SM and LoTD...i know the capabilities of the Eldar and i am not under cutting them, its just that we use almost anime style tech so....its an even match...not to mention their is a massive Elven/eldar pop in Tannelorn itself. ok so now do your attack again, but remember that we are firing on you before it even begins, we did bury all the warp gates remember.

((OOC Notes no one here should be claiming EVER Spacemarines but better, no one should be claiming to have troops better than a group of maniacs whose standard side arm is a Gun that fires a mini self propelled Rocket... EVER Sorry tanelorn but when the Bolter is capable of ritually tearing the entire Chest Area out of a person and I mean litually make half the Chest disappear, and tear the person in two no one should claim to have a large force of troops better than that and still have any other forces avaible to them. I use Eldar but I downplay a lot of the power... it would be too unfair. ))

ooc Never said their gun is better, the Equipment ie they have M.O.S.P.E.A.D.A cyclone transformable ride armours, which essentially give them jump packs and bikes, they even use mini missile launchers, on gauntlets like Storm bolters...and they are nano Enhanced ie they regenerate, they are more agile then an Eldar [not including the enhanced Eldars in my pop], faster reflex's too and tough as nails. Actually some of them carry lascannon equiv's and others carry H bolter equiv's with mobility, ie the power armour they wear has the move and shoot power....but thats not important as their are only 1000 naval troopers there. the Regular troops are like Jetbikers and Swooping hawks without the J pack.
But the point is this, their is a lot of troops there,they are fighting and the defenses are very well made so its a big battle right now.....the only people manning the wall for Tannelorn are the CDU [civil defense units ie ground holders] the rest are in reserve right now but i will say the CDU and AF troopers are taking steady Casualties, probably less then you are at this point as you do have to form up outside the 200 km zone that we cleared and charge. So as i said repost your attack we pretty much started shooting at the same time....this is a big mess right now lol, no one even knows whats really going on and by this point the heinous WMD attack by pilon isnt even fully known about yet. People are dying everywhere CDU battloids are dropping like flies and the like...its a battle so lets get on with it!!!!!

Nah no problem, as long as it's slow for everyone till the weekend I'll force myself in at the weekend. Now I really must go...
so much for writing my Dist Synopsis Curse you NS))
2.5 Million Troops are stationed on the Roan theatre of war, the majority are manning the wall but specialised assault units have already launched a counter push against the Eldar Vaul engine advance.
800 Super Heavy Tanks(Baneblades and such) supported by two Mechanized Infantry Legions speared into the Plains to engage the Tor Yvresse advance.
The Tanks Belonging to Panzer Division Marduk took 14 losses due to long range fire before they could get into range, now it was their turn to fire back! 786 Super Heavy vehicles launched a devastating attack on the eldar Attack, The Mechanized Legions took up defensive positions around Panzer Division Marduk.
Meanwhile the Hellespontos Wall guns were using their Long Range Artillery and Missiles to attack the Eldar ever since they appeared in the Buffer zone.
2000 men had been killed on the wall by a Pilonese Ortillery strike which disturbed the barrage for 15 minutes, but the dazed survivors got it into their wits to continue firing.
Overlord Zhukat, confident in the abilities of the Vascilian Ground forces boasted that "Tor Yvresse is the only nation in all of MIDAS that can organize a decent ground offensive...and look at it! it burns before our glorious wall!"

The skies around the NGEN Mars lit up as a dozen "Baby Boy" missiles were launched towards the VC side of New Roan, specifically the wall. Each "Baby Boy" had the explosive power of a daisy cutter and the guidance of a cruise missile. The NGEN board of directors were confident that they will bring the enemy death.
The Mercenary legions with 500,000 heavily armed men and 300 Heavy tanks and 420 Light Bear tanks begin their marched towards New Roan.

Hellesontos Laser Missile defence systems opened up on the incoming missiles, destroying 8 of them. One of the missiles went wide hitting 500 metres behind the wall, destroy a transport rail system. 3 of the missiles hit near to or on top of the wall kill 350 AF troops and an unknown amount of other Coalition forces(I'll let them post their losses)
OOC:
500, 000 Mercenaries? hahaha...great! my troops can use the target practice. Can I get some info on these guys? like whats the reputation so I can post losses accordingly...are they tough? cowards? greedy? disloyal? Ruthless? just info like that.
*looks arround... pulls out a yellow sticky note saying "TAG!" and halls @$$ outta there*

OOC:They are every one those except cowardly and disloyal. NGEN has their families at gunpoint, so betrayal is not an option. They are equiped with the best weapons NGEN can buy, think of Starship troopers except clad in an all black armor.
IC:The Mercs were suddenly ordered to halt as more than 5 dozen heavy Bombers loaded with Black Napalm flew over them. Then like robots following a controllers orders, they continued their march.
NGEN Corp
16-10-2003, 05:08
The Bombers flew over New Roan, losing 28 to the anti-aircraft defenses, the pilots were pissed, as soon as they were close enough to the wall, the bomb doors opened, more than 200 tons of Black Napalm laden bombs poured out over the unsuspecting VC side of the city.
The Mercs were less than 20km from New Roan now, they prepared their weapons for battle...
500 men were killed by the attack(How many bombers exactly?) 250 were severly injured. Others were traumatised by the attack for the rest of their lives.
The wall guns, tipped off by forward observers began targetting the incoming Mercenary forces. 250 Long Range artillery cannons were brought to bare on the Mercenaries.
OOC:
Ahhh...finally, this war has mostly been MIDAS Countries posting far to many losses. Im glad you actually post a decent amount.

Alpha and Beta Assault.
As the Artillery shrieked towards the Ngen Positions, Skull Squadron and the Wolfe Packe Make their Presence felt, Disengaging from the Aerial Mellee the 100 Alphas' [Fighter's, lots of missiles, capable of bombardment, Transformable fighters....yes From Robotech...] and 40 Beta's of Skull squadron and teh Wolfe packe Screeched towards the Enemy positions, A veritable wall of missiles preceeding them, As they Approached,teh Vanguard switched modes to the Famed Battloid [robot] mode, taking advantage of the maneuvarability gained started to attack the troopers on the ground itself....Beta fighter Bombers dropping their deadly payloads all the while, Here and Their sporadic anti Aircraft fire was causing losses, but the highly trained and Motivated members of the Elite Skull squadron and Wolfe Pack zeroed in on their targets
[Tannelorn has a massive fighter force as their fighters are capable of attacking on the ground due to their transforming ability, and take good advantage of a humanoid forms high mobility] Before breaking off
ooc about ten percent casualties as you are currently under fire, i would have said more but artillery makes it hard to shoot back, that and the Ortillery from the Orbiting Ikazucki Carriers........so 14 shot down, damaged beyond combat efficient on this run as it were. Last post for me tonight though, have things to do.

The 1st line consisting of 1,282 men were wiped along with 32 light tanks. The Mercs retailated with artillery fire from 5 platoons each having about 10 guns each. 90 MLVs begin lining up, they fired a volley of 700 rockets into the city. The 2nd armor battalion made up of 90 Heavy tanks moved into position on the outskirts of the city and they begin shelling the city indiscriminately, civilian or military, it didn't matter.
Reduce the VC side of the city to dust
Those were the orders they had just recieved from the CEO himself.
OOC:there were 44 bombers.

OOC Okay Prime Vaul Engine Advance in support of the NGEN orbital assult ((Makes sense to keep as few fronts as Possible ;) as agreed with Tannelorn Retcon of my previous Vaul assult is in progress. IOh and I know VC nations know 40K but do they remember the Shrieker round... I use the Shrieker round))
IC The Vaul Engines where huge towering over the supporting vechicles yet they where not to be dismissed.
Vyper_bikes hunted out ahead of the Advance Hunting for Tanks and other armoured vechicles, or for infantry to suffer the terror that was a Shrieker round. There where over 300 Vypers sent out initially, where they found Tanks they Struck using both supperior speed and manouverbilty to great effect.
Lascannons where the least of the Vascilian fears, for the Eldar had taken this Tank killing weapon to the next level many years before humanity had been born, they hunted with Rapid firing Lascannons, with D-Cannons and more. The Gunenr in his swival mounted chair was positioned to give it an almost perfect coverage only the underbelly of the bike was out of his targeting sphere. It was using it to the utmost effect. Simply put the bikes where able to keep firing even as they passed the tanks by.
Where they met infantry through, that was the preserve of the Pilot, and his Shurikan Guns. Half the Vyper used the simple twin linked Shurikans, half used the much larger Shurikan cannon, those using the Shurikan cannon where fitted with the Shrieker round, this would be the true terror. For the Shrieker round is not a normal round, it is not even simply a larger Shurikan the Shrieker was a Biological/Chemical round, it's firing caused a sound that to the ears is like a scream of anguish, quite apt really, for where it met Human flesh it went to work.
The Human or any biological organism for that matter, was injected with an agent that went to work, turning the body against itself, Internal organs began to writhe and twist, body Acid began to broil and become more virulent more powerful, the poor individual hit was left screaming in torment as they where ripped apart from inside before eventually they would, for want of batter description, Explode from the internal stress. Although of course strictly speaking a more deaths would be caused by the rapid fire of the Twin linked Shurikans, the Shrieker was more deadly. Fear was the Shrieker's weapon, few wanted to die that way.
Still casulties for the Vypers would be horrendous they knew this even as they went in, it did not matter they where with Khaine in heart now.
Of course the Vypers where not alone, Jetbikes 1500 of them went with them, along with the 250 Shining Spears.
The Spears where a magnificent sight as they drove towards the foe in perfect order, somewhat reminiscent of the Knights of old in many ways, lances shining in the Martian light, banners fluttering from each lance showing the heritage of the Pilot his name in spelt out in the Runes of Eldar. Of course differances beyond the Jetbike and knights of old existed, for one knights of old did not have Laser-Lances. These nights hunted for the bikers of the VC defences, or for groups of infantry on their own, where they saw them they charged, driving through and past the target, trusting in the laser lance to leave the target a bloody mess behind them.
And behind them all came the Titans and the Grav Tanks. The first of which began to halt, as the Deathspinners began to go to work lobbing high over the batlefield and down onto the VC forces the Mono-Filiment webs.

Oh as for casulties from the Tannelorn Defenders as I came in Casulties where taken but... I wanted that post on it's own without casulties in it.
Here are the casulties
7 Vyperbikes, 76 Jetbikes, and 2 Shining Spears, since thats the initial charges composition thats all that was taken. I suppose from fixed defences a few Falcon Tanks may be damaged and one or two Titans((When a Mass vechicle Group charges towards you are you aiming for the guys behind them?))

((Quick thing if Pilon wants to kickstart the Infantry push feel welcome either in this Thread or start a new one Assume VC that if he does that my own Infantry are with him and write with taht in mind remember also no intsant forces in the right place, I know how tempting it is, but right now the first and possibly only clue for where we are going to hit you should get when Pilons forces land and prepare to atack. Before that nothing If need be role Randomnly I guess to simulate the confusion of the Jumping Infantry army))
ooc: I'm not LANDING my troops but they are definately moving out.
Panzer Division Marduk had met the Eldar advance head on in the Plains, 800 Super Heavy Tanks(Stormblades, Baneblades...things like it) and 1200 AF MBT's.
2 Mechanised Infantry Legions numbering 500,000 men and their transports Supported Marduks forces, fanning out defensively meeting the Eldar advance, 50km before the wall.
The Wall guns still pounded away at the advancing enemy, unrelenting.
The Airforce, as small as it was still packed an incredible punch. The Highly Responsive and Maneuverable scored Many hits on the Eldar...Concentrating on the Largest of the vehicles, the Vaul Engines.
----
I have lost 2000 men to the storm assault, 30 APC's, 2 Super heavies and 18 MBT's
Anyhow...Im off for tonight

**At the Hellespontos Defence Wall**
CPT. Escobar looked to the right corner of the HUD in his "Striker" Power Armour
The New orders scolled downward, telling him to move his company through the defence wall to
the nearest fire Points. The Company Reached Sector-D of the Wall the 20ft "Striker" power armour
fanned out, CPT. Escobar along with the most of his company noticed the Massive Tor Yvresse
Titans lumbering towards the wall. CPT. Escobar Yelled "FIRE" almost immediatly his company were shooting
the 250mm "Striker" Cannons at the Titans.
*CPT. Escobar's company is from the 3rd Heavy support Regiment, all operating on the same orders(approx 500 Units)
the Rest of the Deployment of the Confederacy Of Norieganania Defence Force are as the following
the 1st-5th Infantry Battalion approx. 350,000 each
the 6th Heavy Infantry Battalion approx. 250,000 supported with Heavy and light APC's
the 7th Air Assault Battalion approx. 250,000
*the 7th uses "Deaths Head Mega Transpost/Gun Ships"*
*Majority of fighters are Power Armour Called SAMUS suits*
*also 350 elite JetCycle's are in this battalion
the 1st+2nd Armour Regiment of the 10th Armoured Battalion will be supporting Panzer division Marduk approx 170 each
the 1st-5th Heavy Support Infantry approx 250-500 each

Taking advantage of the Eldar assualt, the Mercs began to advance onto New Roan. The Tank forces rolled ahead of them still shelling the city while they charged at full speed.
The Sky was filled with sounds of roaring engines as 300 Heavy Bombers flew overhead.
The Mercs saw at least 42 of the massive aircraft fell to Anti-air fire, but the bombers had their revenge as they unloaded 5,000 tons of bombs on the city.
Transmission to Tor Yvresse
We must request that you evacuate your troops from New Roan. We can't be held responsible if anything happens to them.

ooc ok this is a little hectic so i am posting current losses, As of yet the Tannelorn Main force [not the fighters] are still waiting in their staging areas [ie the 3 A.T.A.C. Divisions and the Three T.C. [tactical corp divisions] but lets not stop to look at teh poor beleagured CDU [civil Defense units plights.
and the Garfish who are engaging the Phantoms from Long range.
The Dust over the Desert floor was rising in great clouds, lending an even more macabre image to the unfolding spectacle. Three of the 350 foot long Garfish Carriers Were spearheading the Assault of Panzer Division Marduk, and the Noriganian Forces. Their Massive Anti Ship Xray Cannon turrets firing 6 times within 15 seconds from each barrel layed down barrage after deadly barrage in to the Heart of the Vaul engines, Lasers and missiles impacting along the Pin point barriers and the hulls, but on they came, at the leading edge were over 200 of Tannelorns Veritechs, beta;s and Alphas, in Battloid mode for the maneuverability necessary in such a massive engagement. Inside the Ships the Three hundred naval Marines checked their H-90 Pulse rifles and Mini missile launchers to ensure maximum Efficiency. The CDU units holding their positions bravely in the face of such fire, but even their heavy armour and shields could not prevent the Casualties Piling up.
AS the Ngen Bombers sped in to the Attack against Carpentaria [its not a city its a military base] Skull squadron sped in to attack them, regrouping after their attack run against the Ngen Positions.....
Sunset has Ignored Tannelorn. This war has degenerated into bickering and non-sense. Its over until both sides can actually agree on things.
The way Vascilia County see's things, You guys are being arrogant. Especially Sunset. Apparently Sunset believes himself to be invincible...according to him he is the greatest. This is bad RP, we considered ignoring him. But we came to the conclusion that ignoring someone because you disagree with them (Thats the reason Sunset used to ignore Tannelorn) is bad RP. So in short...
The War is over until Sunset quits being a douche and actually takes hits. I lost 2 of my 8 fleets in the first phase of the war only to have you guys take 1 or 2 ships off...sorry to ruin your fun, but the war is over until Sunset can grow up.
...No offence to anyone else, Everyone else role played well. But We cant continue until Sunset grows up.

ooc some of us considered continuing the ground war as Sunset has no ground army. But we Will wait one more day then consider keeping the Ground war going and the battle thatTor Yvresse, Imperial Guard and Tannelorn were fighting over Roania but for now, time to cool down and let some people sort out their issues with godmodding "whistles" oh no i dont mean sunset.....ok maybe i do.
I Paused it because Sunset ignored Tannelorn, I dont know why he ignored him nor do I care. I stopped the war so it would become an ignore fest.
Though Tor Yvresse and NGEN have proved to be good opponents...they actually post losses! :D
The Fleet engagement has bugged me though...Sunset(Ive mentioned this so many time) has refused to post many losses and in fact began to argue that he cant lose because he's "Older" than our nations. I disagree with the notion that older nations are Stronger...Case in point.
Babylon has been around for over 5,000 years, but was taken over by the United States(and other I know...) in 28 days. Sunset began to insult Tannelorn as Ive heard and I didn't appreciate that...but Im not free of blame either.
Sorry Pilon...but your economy is Imploded comrade, According to the "New to nationstates?" thread your country lacks the infrastructure to build much. I didn't care if your fleet was good or not...I just didn't expect you to have a signifigant ground army I.E. an army that can stand up to even Brynndo(the weakest VC nation)

19-10-2003, 03:02
ooc ok The war is back on, Tor Post a response to the counter attack [it happened as soon as we saw the vaul engines.. the reasoning is this, better to attack then let the enemy get in to your defenses, and armour is better on the move....just remember heh that those Garfish are actually frigates!!!!! they are the Vascilian league Titans....only closer to an imperator!!!!! ok and to let everyone know the "wall" is actually a 20 km deep defensive line of bunkers, trenches and tunnels surrounding Carpentaria base and loaded with Massive Macro cannons and Defense lasers and missile silo's [anti space] AA as well. Essentially its a futuristic Siegfreid line. That post on the counter attack was the beggining of the majour attack phase of the battle, and is going on simultaneous with the Ngen Push.
I would like a picture of the battle fronts, like are Ngen troops close enough to see the massive tank battle about to unfold? or are they on a different point of the line and if so how far away are they from Tor Yvressan forces. but no more other then these responses till tommorow
And Bajon, we havent forgotten you and your push in to AF territory. How many cruisers are you sending on an attack run again?

Our colony on Mars is a different Matter entirely though, they have a strong economy and they are the ones who have prepared the ground troops, if you will note I never posted anything about sending in Troop Transports my ground forces from Pilon are still in Pilon and will remain there.
We have 2 Infantry Divisions and 1 Mechanized Division that are supported by the Martian Colony, they are the ones involved in this fight. Once we determine whether the war is back on or not we will begin to post here.
Not to sound full of myself or anything Pilon but I can pull more Infantry, Mechanized and Armoured Divisions out of my ass...did you mean to say you had more Divisions than just three in Pilon?
just to tell everyone, a Infantry division is anywhere from 20-45,000 men. "Armies" according to NATO are 50,000 plus men.
AF uses the Legion, 250, 000 men. So its like 5 armies basically...that is the large scale organization of the AF and the Smallest standard military force that is sent to any war. You will always see at least 250,000 Infantry + Support staff(Logistics) in any warzone, usually backed by Armoured Legions like Panzer Division Marduk.
