In Tordor, ruled now for 14 years under the lovable but slightly insane and homocidal Queen Seria, a faction arose in secret. They were angred over the Tordoran Wars and the failed coup. They wanted revenge agaist the IDI nations for the humalating defeats and agaist Europa Brittania for helping to stop the Coup and they expecally wanted revenge agiast Cyberutopia for their destruction of the Old Tordoran capital and another major city. They began to plot to kill the Queen, put her daughter on the throne, a mere 6 year old child and start a war of revenge. They began to secretly gather people to their cause and secretly hire mercenaries and soon away from the ears of the court and the queens spies rumors spread of a plot agaist the throne.

OOC:
Interesting.. I'm assuming there's no way my spies could know of this yet. Ariddia will react when it starts to have reason to get suspicious.

[tagged]

OOC:Well Rumor would be heard just not by Queen Seria's Government plus its a little hard to hire that many mercenaries without people starting to wonder even a little. But not to much other than vague rumors at the moment, but later is another story.

In a shadowed room, a meeting of the leading plotters met, all attended were hooded cloaks that hid their faces and only one man, the leader, Duke Hirnisimi Ukeri knew who all the leaders present were. They were members of the Neo Tordoran Peoples Liberation Party. One spoke. "Preparations are going good, our men are being trained well for the coming restoration of our Late Glorious Leader, Chairman Woe's Dream and the hiring of the Mercenaries is going smoothly." Another spoke. "The ships and subs for the Peoples Liberation Navy are being secretly built and hidden is going smoothly." A Third spoke up. "The Training of the secret Para military police is going smoothly; they will be ready to take on the Royalist scum's police forces soon." A Fourth, Duke Hirnisimi himself spoke. "Good, everything is going according to plan. We will begin to move advance units into place. For Chairman Woe’s Vision." The others repeated this chant as they left the room and headed back to their operations.

OOC:Yep its a revial of the monsterious Chairman Woe's party. The guy that was like Stalin, Mao and Hitler rolled into one.

OOC: Was he the guy who was in power when Ariddia and its allies defeated the hostage-taking Tordoran forces?

IC:
"It could be anything. That's a trouble country. If we jumped in every time we heard rumours..." The Secretary for Foreign Affairs looked up from the report that had been handed to him.

"But we cannot afford to let events overtake us," the Prime Secretary pointed out sternly. "Put our forces on alert. I'd hate to see a new war, but..."

"Should we warn the Tordoran government?"

The Prime Secretary considered it.
"Not yet," he said at last. "Not until we have something more substantial. In the meantime, our agents are to be commended, and told to keep up the good work. And if possible, dig a little deeper..."

OOC:No but those were some of his fanitcal followers that escaped from Tordor, by then he had been vaperized by Cyberutopia's Charged Particle cannon along with a 2000 yard wide half mile deep chunk of the capital during the part of the Tordoran wars with the IDI nations including Teritora. He was a Real evil guy who had all the Elves, Jews, clerics, mulisms, Foreigners and other people rounded up into death camps and he also had King Ashagar, King of Teritora at the time assassinated. Like I said for a comparion of him, put Hitler, Stalin and Mao together.

Lord Ken read some reports of rumors coming out Tordor from RSC operatives operating there. "Hmm, nothing more than vague rumors but Tordor has always been a troublesome nation." He sent orders for intellegence operations to be keyed up slightly. He did not want unwelcome surpises coming out of Tordor, the last that happened King Ashagar had been assassinated.

((Ah, Chairman Woe. It was fun to atomize him. :twisted: Well, seeing as how my nation is in total anarchy, this would be a good opportunity for the followers of Woe to strike at a weakened Cyberutopia. Fun times ahead. :) ))

OOC:Oh ya. :)

As the months passed it was becoming noticable that large numbers of Mercenaries were being hired and dispearing seemly off the face of the earth and as the training of the NTPLA forces continued even more disturping rumors spread. However there still no solid but the rumors still extremely disturpting. Rumors of gathering forces, both navial, air and sea grew even as NTPLA forces and mercenary slowly moved into place.

OOC: whats the rebels political stance and doctrine? If it supports Belem we might help them.

OOC:Don't you remember Chairman Woe? You fought his forces epecally around southport and left of them 500,000 dead. The Tordoran Peoples Liberation Army? Mister, I hate all organized reglion, Jews, elves, foreigners, muslims and so on. Whowanted to kill everyone who is not a full Blooded Tordoran. That was Chairman Woe. You did wipe out his forces after all down their in Southern Tordor during the Tordoran wars. I thought you would remember him. So what does it say for the ploters if they are revial of his party besides that they want revenge on you as well?

OOC: I remembered the war. I remember going in to help Kecha. I just was hazy on what the political stance was in the country.

OOC:Teritora hit on the mark, futher more he thought he was god and his followers did to. Which is why they were throwing the clerics into death camps as well. You did liberate the Archbishop of Tordor from one of those camps way back then at the end of the war when the IDI was liberating all the camps.

OOC: ah. I remember now. heh. I wiped out his whole army those guys must really hate me.

OOC:Yep the ploters hate You, Cyberutopia, and everyone else in the IDI as well as nations that left like Xanthal, Western Asia and various nonmember nations like those what foiled the SS attempted take over of Vorena and those nations that stopped the attempt coup that killed Queen Seria's Parents and nearly killed her.

Talk about holding a grudge...It's been 1148 years since we left the IDI by our clocks.

OOC:Nobody holds a grudge like a Tordoran, not even a demon, dwarf or an elf.

3 months away from the planned date for the uprising, The plotters had most of their forces in place which was sending rumors flying and now they were planning the next part of their plan... to seize control over Project Shadowwraith, a system of Orbital antispace and weapons of mass destruction including, orbitla nuclear platforms, A Powerful Charged Particle cannon and other weapons. This part of their plan was harder to hide and soon Alarming and terrorifing rumors began to leave tordor about it on top of the other rumors.

A bump in the darkness.

Lord Ken continued to read report sent to him by agents. These rumors were geting too disturbing and alarming. Over the months the rumors coming out of and gathered inside of Tordor were becoming more and more alarming, futhermore someone was hiring massive amounts of Mercenaries who would afterwards seemly dispear off the face of the earth, nobody could find them. Something was going on and he wanted to know what. He gave orders for more agents to placed in Tordor.

A evil plot bumped in the night bring little good.

well everything u are doing now is kinda secretive. you should just throw everything out in the open.

OOC:It will be out in the open soon; this is going to be a fine mess.

A month from the planned time of the uprising, the TPLA began locate agents of foreign powers and knock them off, one by one. They tried to make the look like accidents, they didn't want the agents finding out what was about to happen but they didn't want to alarm those government either or possable alert the queens forces either.

Alarms when off in several Zerni Corporations when their spies spying on the Tordoran Mega Corporation Geran Corp.'s headquarters dispeared and didn't report back in.

bump for inpending civil war and preperary assassination of foreign agents by evil plotters.

OOC:Nobody besides Zerni is noticing their agents in Tordor are being knocked off, one by one?

Finally set time came with all the TLPA troops in place, on a cold december night late christmas eve, they launched their opening assault. Artillery opened on Tordor's cities and royalist bases as hundreds of TLPA Fighters and bombers took to the air and began attacking Royalist miltary bases across Tordor. The suprise was so complete that in the frist thirty minutes nearly half of Tordor fell and a full third of the Royal army was wiped out competely and a forth was forced to surrender, nearly half the Royal Airforce was destoryed on the ground before they could even take to the air and an eighth of the Royal navy was destroyed in port. However as time went by the Royalist forces entrenched themselves began to hold agaist the onslaught and the surviving ships of the Royal Navy set sail to sea even as the TLPA's warships set sail out to sea as well to wage battle agaist the surviving Royal Navy.

Meanwhile at the Europa Brittanian base the peace was shattered as the TPLA launched an Air and land attack against them. Dozens of Bombers and close support fighter bombers began flying towards the base from hidden nearby air bases. At the same time hundreds of hidden Artillery opened up on the base as two full infantry divisions and a tank Divison stormed towards the base in the darkness of the cold night. The Civil war had began, Chairman Woe's followers had began their path to revenge.

OOC:Its began, the real fun.

OOC:Yes, the part we have all been waiting for. :D Soon it will be time for the IDI and the three musketeers along with others from previous Tordoran wars.

OOC:Indeed, the rebels besides trying take out the remaing royalist and take the rest of the country will be sending out assassins, trying to seize control of the WMDs Orbital and nonorbital and other other activities geared towards revenge.

OOC: I missed the set-up...but I'll play from here.

IC:
Chemel Kligerman, the Western Asian Intelligence Advisor to the President and the effective leader of all of Western Asia's intelligence services, was not happy to be bothered during his lunch, the small part of his day that was ever truly his own, but the message blinked brilliantly on the large CommScreen across from his desk:

URGENT MESSAGE!!!

Grudgingly, he tapped on the touch-pad on his desk and entered the proper codes. A few seconds later, he'd forgotten all about his lunch and was typing rapidly on that same, once-despised, system as he sent out urgent messages to the President and the Defense Minister.

The messages were short, but they communicated more than 10 pages of other text might've stated:

"Old Tordor has returned."

Although there was some concern over the past few weeks and months with some rumors of insurgents and plotters, but nothing that had really set off any warning bells.

A short time before, a 'deep cover' agent had dissapeared without warning, but his two-week grace period had yet to expire and this agent was known for his deep cover operations.

The urgent message bore some early reports of a massive, coordinated strike against the new Tordorian government...reportedly by followers of the expired Chairman Woe. Although contact in Tordorian affairs since Western Asia left the IDI had been few and far between, this issue was clearly of concern. Since the fall of the old government, Tordor had acquired amazingly powerful weapons--and the reports of the same government collapsing upon itself under the onslaught of insurgents was good news for nobody.

Within the hour, Western Asia's SA-43 Hammerhead, SB-43 Mako, and SAE-43 Howler transatmospheric "SatStalker" squadrons were on high alert and ready to move. If those orbital weapons fell into the control of the insurgents then there would be no other option but to destroy them all.

The 7th Grand Naval Fleet was also placed on high alert and old IDI contacts were sought out. Cyberutopia was embroiled in its own little hellish civil war and the IDI had long been on the verge of uselessness.

"By the prickling of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes"
*************************************************************************- Shak.**

OOC:The IDI still has some active nations, Belem is still a member, Kecha, Teritora, Hakari is a member, Garrison II is still a member, Cybertupa I would amit wouldn't be much help because of their civil war, but theres other nations in the IDI. The IDI just hasn't had a reason to be very active. This should get the Allaince juices flowing again and if it comes to it, on why nobody messes with the IDI.

IC: It was early morning in Teritora, the sun hadn't even risen yet when a garbed message arrived at the Palace where it was discrypted and shown to Lord Ken who woke the king shortly after reading it, after calling an emergency meeting of the Kings Council, the Teritoran Miltary was thrown into full alert. Also a message was sent to Kecha, it was time for something that had not happened for a years, a IDI meeting.

OOC: Teritora, I know that, but it's WA's reason for leaving so I have to stick with it. The real reason for leaving was that I was trying to disentangle myself from alliances and such at the time (though I have the highest respect for the IDI and its power) and I haven't had the opportunity to rejoin since then. This RP might see WA returning...

IC: Across Western Asia, preparations were being made for war and materiel was on the move to collection points for a possible war in support of the assaulted Tordorian government.

As the movements began to fill the military transportation pipelines, the news broke to the public. Pundits and newscasters had their opinions, not all of them relevant. Some of the old political scientists who opposed the withdrawl from the IDI ranted about the importance of supporting old alliances and of Western Asia's "imperative to ensure that peace and freedom are continued once the military is done."

Kligerman was unavailable, as were the President and Defense Minister Meretz...everyone was now in The Pit and working to make sense of the situation. A news conference was presented by a presidential spokesperson but she let on little more than that "the IDF has made preparations to act in defense of the rightful government" and has "taken steps to ensure that the power of the Tordorian WMDs will not fall into the hands of the wicked."

Now the trumpet summons us again - not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need; not as a call to battle, though embattled we are; but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, 'rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation', a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease and war itself.
- - - John F. Kennedy

Gunfire erupted, shattering the lazy peace that had remained unbroken in almost a decade sorrounding Thornblack. Before the alarms had begun their shrill calls of warning, bodies slumped to the moist earth, seeping crimson into the uncaring soil- Brittanian bodies. Taking only a few minutes, precious though did life lost during them, automated defences screamed to life. Tactical computers instantly assigned the nocturnal attackers, and duly returned fire.

The chitter chatter of high velocity death rang out, High powered gatling cannons sweeping the perimeter walls clear of a rapidly clambering enemy. From deep within silos missiles tore free from their restrictive walls, ploughing up and into those who would dare raise a blade against men here only to right and protect.

Already the limited HighGuard avalible at the outpost completed arming themselves, some barely four minutes from their previously peaceful dreams as they doggedly ran upwards and manned the sparse battlements. The shrieking of Anti-Aircraft weaponry now sought to add its own insane call to the terrifying noise as it swept upwards.


Commander Ardent bellowed his commands, his harsh words cutting the screams of the dying and of weaponry too terrible to comprehend aside so his charges might comprehend. His mind computed even as he let rip his rifle, sweeping a section of wall clear for the few seconds it took for the numerically superior attackers to fill the void.

Ardent was no fool. He could see his own men were vastly outnumbered and caught completely by suprise.Thornblack would not last the night. Screaming at his subjunct, he gave the order.


"Transmit, priority Cyrillion. Thornblack comprimised, Tordorian uprising in progress. Heavy casualites and increasing. We will not last the night, but will sell ourselves as dearly as time and fate will allow."

The young man nodded, his pale, trembling hand reaching for his pistol as he made the dangerous run from his Commander's side to the Communications booth. Ardent watched as he disappeared from view, a great sigh escaping his heaving chest. Sadness weighed on him as he thought of the letter that would undoubtedly bring grief and despair to his parents. The letters that would signal the death of everyone whom were hemmed between these walls.

Within the centre of the compound, lofted high and fluttering in the cool night breeze, the Brittanian standard flew. Taking a final look at the very sum of what he stood for, he tore his VoxCaster and barked.

"Pull back, abandon the walls. Reload and withdraw. Form a cordon around the botanical gardens, we will make our stand."

Deep within the twisting corridors and weaving chambers that made up the Brittanian presence within Tordor, sat a great space. Its roof a shining dome of plexiglass. All manner of botanical life sprouted and thrived here, a place of rest and peace. Beautiful flowers of gentle red, blooming lazily as buzzing insects collected the precious pollen they yielded grew alongside ancient oaks, whose age defied and mocked any who claimed such around them, their green leaves swaying slightly.

But shortly it would become a killing field.

[i]Ardent moved amongst the trees he had known only as a relaxing influence. He nodded as each team completed their defence points, heaving massive cannons and heavy barricades into place. He offered a prayer to whichever diety cared to listen as an apology for the desecration that was soon to be released. No sooner had he finished and offered than the unmistakable sound of those that intruded sounded. Heavy boots clumping ahead unasuredly. Without a word, Ardent waited.

Trees swayed angrily, as if sensing the approach of an evil. Insects flew from the flowers, their interest in its bounty forgotten. The sounds grew louder, until rustling became apparent, and then he screamed.

"FIRE!"

Hastily mounted defence weaponry screamed to life. The soft, fertile earth was thrown upwards in a muddy shower as high explosive rounds turned the precious plant life to a pulp. Trees were savagedly strewn in half as bolter fire raked their trunks. Screams poured through the dying plantlife as the weapons fire found their mark, pulling down line apon line of rebel forces with only their death screams as a rememberence to their passing.

Rockets were lobbed high into the air, exploding with painful frequency. Moss was blasted from the surface of charred boulders as they fell back down to earth, blown from their original positions by blast upon blast. Ardent struggled with his foothold as the ground itself shook.

And soon, they were apon them. Gatling fire raked only metres from Brittanian feet as close combat ensured. A save melee as bayonet, rifle butt and limbs impacted against fellow man in a grim battle to decide victor from vanquished. Ferocity gave way to weary battling but neither side would yield until not a single survivor of either faction remained.

Ardent drew his sabre, throwing the protective scabbard away. His eyes scanned the scenes of violence a short distance ahead of him. Selecting the quarters he was most needed in, his walk accelerated to a run.

They would make them pay for every inch.

As the night went on, the battlelines between the TPLA and Royal forces continued to solidify with the rebels controling little more than half the country and beseiging the capital it self, however the Royalists were deterimed and used the mountious forested terrain to their advange as well as their superor training expecally for urban combat to turn the battles across tordor into entrenched battlelines between the two factions, while behind deep behind TPLA lines indivisals and bands of students of the Todoran School of Urban and Gurreilla warfare began to put their training to good use even as the TPLA tried to solidify its hold on its seized Territory. In the Air, Loyalist pilots worked in shifts since their wasn't enough planes to hold off the Air attacks of the rebels or surport the troops on the battle front, at sea a deadly game of cat and mouse began, as the Royal navy used its years of training to good use agaist the numerally superor rebel ships and below the waves Rebel and loyalist subs stalked each other.

At the Europa Brittanian base the assult contiued even with heaver than expected loses caused by the outnumbered but deterimed defenders. Tthe TLPA General in command had beem ordered to take the base, no matter how heavy the losses, they could not allow the base to used as a foothold agaist the TLPA.

Finally. Word had finally reached the Cyberutopians.

Despite the weakened state of the country due to the civil war which had been since resolved, it was undeniable that the TPLA was a massive threat to Cyberutopia and her allies. Surveillence sattelites now scanned the Tordorian soil at all hours, watching silently from above the clouds. The Comittee of War discussed their course of action for long nights, debating their different points of view. One thing was agreed upon by all of the Committee. The Particle Cannon controlled by Tordor was probably the biggest threat to Cyberutopia. No known defense was capable of defending against such a strike, and if the TPLA were to control it...

It was decided. The Particle Cannon must stay out of rebel hands. But, the Cyberutopian military was in shambles. The navy's admiral had been killed, the Minister of Defense was dead as well, and the army and air force had suffered heavy casualties. An emergency was called and the ragged remaining forces were called together for a hasty assembly.

But time was against them. The TPLA could break through the royalist lines at any time, and the Cyberutopians would not be ready. Only one feasable option was left. For the first time in many years, the Agents would have to be used in force. Tordor was in for it.

Aren't you the guy I liberated awhile back who was killing some poor nation?

At an airbase in central Western Asia

Two of the massive GATEKEEPER Ultra Large Airlifters (ULAs) rise quietly into the night. Loaded with scores of precision cruise missiles, they set course for Tordor and begin to move for their target at their top speed. They should be on-target within a few days.

Their mission: to save an endangered government and to protect the liberty of the Tordorian people.

OOC:Garrison II, you helped the Current government back when it was under Queen Seria's parents rebuild after the evil chairman Woe's Reign of Terror and the war he caused.

multipost

OOC:Bloody Grimlins

Bump in the darkness of war and evil

As the first week of the war ended, all the battlefronts between Loyalist and rebel forced became stagment with the Royalists with the Rebels unable to break though the lines of the Loyalists and the Loyalists being to heavly mauled by the opening of the war to do anything to but defend and rebuild their forces. Behind Rebel lines, a Gurreilla war continued to be waged by Loyaiists despite all attempts by the Rebels to wipe them out.

OOC:Oh dear, guest I may have expect another invasion.

OOC:How can say, this war will likely drag out a while.

bump

Queen Seria rose warily and entered the Council chambers. Siting down she started at the Queens Council. "How bad is it?" Lord Gerimi spoke. "Over half the country is in the hands of the enemy, we still hold all the imporant bases and Key cities but we can't counter attack at this time, Their Surpise uprising wiped out nearly a third of our army, another fourth was forced to surrender, half the Royal Airforce was destoryed on the ground before they could even take to the air and an eighth of the Royal navy was destroyed in port. We are holding the remaining ground but they are at the gates of this very city, The Royal Navy navy and the coast gaurd can't keeping the shiping lanes free and can barely keep the enemy from bombarding our remaining cities. The Air force is barely holding off the enemy and if it wasn't for loyalist Guerrillas behind enemy lines tieing up enemy troops we would be overwelmed." Queen Seria spoke gravely. "What of the Europa Brittanian base." Count Dorsni spoke. "Its fate is unclear but its beleved the Rebels overwelmed it."

Queen Seria spoke again, her face ashen. "This is grave, we can not lose this war, We must hold on." The council members nodded and the war council truely began as they ploted stratagy and tactics to use agaist the enemy.

The IDF Air Force Corps' pair of Gatekeepers come into full striking range of most of Tordor, still several hundred miles out, and slow smoothly to a rest. The massive craft float easily, bouncing ever so slightly in the high air currents.

The commander of one of the ULAs radios the Loyalist government to announce their presence.

...Transmission...
Transmission Type: Radio
Encoding: None
Target: Loyalist Government, Queen Seria

"Honorable Queen,
We of the Western Asian Air Force Corps' Task Force: Sustainer bring you the most humble greetings. We have been dispatched in support of your government and to ensure the safety and liberty of your people against these insurgents.

At current, the task force contains this pair of Gatekeeper ULA aerial assault units but a naval task force is also due in the area with a contingent of Marine Corps soldiers.

Western Asia was a member of the IDI when we struck at the old government of General Woe and, while we have left the IDI since that time, we will not turn our backs on your people in this time of difficulty.

We await your response and now sit at your disposal.

We will discuss our cooperations further on secure channels, with your approval."

A Message is transmited back. "We can use any help we can get agaist the enemy, Our forces have been badly mauled, Our Air Force and Army can barely hold off the enemy as it stands, Our Navy and coast guard can't keep the sea lanes free of the enemy and can barely keep them from bombarding the remaining coast we control."

The commander's response is rapid,
"We are aware of these dire straits that your government and people now face at the hands of the forces of the deceased Woe and have been ordered to do our utmost to defend your peoples.

"Our naval forces should be here within a few days to protect your coasts against these enemy assaults. Our two Gatekeepers bear over 130 missiles per unit, many of which are supersonic and capable of powerful strikes. Once communications have been opened between ourselves and your military we will begin to strike at the enemy targets.

"All that we request is that your airforces provide some defenses for these units until our naval fleet can arrive to provide that protection.

"By our will, Tordor will not fall."

Queen Seria sends a response "We may be able to protect these planes if you can get them into our controled Teritory but Half Our Air force was destoried on the ground at the beganing of the uprising when the rebels launched their surpise attack and we do not have enough Aircraft for our remaining Pilots. That is the only way we could protect those Aircraft."

One Fleet and two divisions are en route to Tordor.

Message to Tordor:
We are sending two divisions and an Imperial fleet to aid you in your civil war. The divisions will arrive within 48 hours(about 10 mins RL time) using our Pelican Heavy Transports. The fleet will arrive in 4 days(30 minutes RL time). Where do you need our troops?

Lord Gensi, the Queens Miltary Adviser sends a reply. "We need the troops the most at the Captial while we are holding onto little else than Half the country the enemy is at the gates of the capital, if the captial falls, they can gain control over one of the orbital WMD control centers and the fall of the capital would hurt troop Moral. We have to drive them away from the capital."

OOC: any port cities under government control? I have to land Pelicans in the water unless you have heavy duty airfields.

OOC:Theres new southport, New Doresini, Mishni, Durnsi, Vorenisa, the Capital is a coastal city and some others.

The planes land in the port closest to the capitol(landing in the capitol would just leave them sieged like everyone else). The 50 thousand troops and 3000 tanks start their march towards the capitol.

OOC:Accursed grimlins, a pox on them.

The battle near the capital was a mess, it looked rather like the subrubs of hell as were all the battlfeilds across Tordor was looking, the Tordorans never heard of the Genva convention and were pulling every dirty trick in the book of war including Chemical weapons, mainly poison gases like Chorine on each other not ten miles from the capital where on the battle 5 divisons of rebel heavy assault Infantry, two tank divisons, hundreds of heavy artillery batteries, a few dozen Mecha, dozens of assault Helocopters and various miltary combat vehicles battled the out numbered but firmly holding and deterimed Royalist Defenders over a 20 mile front. The battle raged nonstop day and night, the Infantry on both sides were going at it with combat rifles, assault rifles, bayonets, swords, spears, and every type of ranged and melee weapon ever evented for war.

The 2 divisions with 20 thousand infantry in 2 thousand Bradley fighter vechiles attack the Rebel flank in an assault led by 3000 tanks. two thousand artillery guns open fire on the rebel lines with airburst flak rounds at about 10 feet.

The 2 divisions with 20 thousand infantry in 2 thousand Bradley fighter vechiles attack the Rebel flank in an assault led by 3000 tanks. two thousand artillery guns open fire on the rebel lines with airburst flak rounds at about 10 feet.

OOC:How did they do that without runing into troops in enemy held Teritorym could you tell me the tactics for hidding such a large army that the rebels somehow didn't notice it moving into their territory to flank there forces or even see them coming with their Aircraft?

But anyway to let to let you know about the Terran, its an Infanry general's Paradise. Northern Tordor is rather like Japan in climate and Terran. Central Tordor is warmer but its also mountianious and its covered in temperate rainforest and southern Tordor is right out of vietnam, jungle and rice patties.

OOC: the capitol is in enemy held territory...that makes things much harder. I thought the capitol was at the border of the front.

OOC: The front in that part of Tordor is 10 miles from the Capital, The Royalist do control little less than Half the country but they came extremly close to the capital.

OOC: ok heres the change.

The 2 divisions head to the weakest point of rebel assault on the front following the same attack plan as above.

The attacking rebels are forced suddenly on the defensive by the Belem assult and taking advange of the Sitation, the Royal Airforce attacks with a hundred Mitsubishi F-1, Close surport fighters to surport the Belem attack, blowing up enemy tanks and various enemy Combat vehicles and guning down contractions of enemy troops. The belem attack along with the unexpected attack by the Tordoran Royal Airforce drives back rebels even with their superal numbers hundred yards in a fighting retreat before they bring in some of their reserves and counter attack in force agaist the Belem forces. Also The Rebel Airforce attacks forcing the Royal Airforce onto the defensive and start attacking the Belem forces from above.

OOC:Just remeber that unlike the last war with Chairman Woe's followers, they that they are not using outdated equipment this time.

OOC: how many troops am I fighting and aircraft?

IC: the fleet scrambles 80 fighter jets 40 F-14s 40 F-18s headed for the engagement.

OOC:Rebel Aircraft, 40 Mitsubishi F-1, Close surport fighters, 55 F-16Cs, 45 F-18s right now currently, theres more sitting at rebel airfeilds. As for troops the city is being attacked by a full reforced Army Corps of 5 divisons or about 90,000 Infantry surported by hundreds of 120mm Heavy artillery, thousands of mortars and 1,500 light tanks in surport and 3,500 MBTs that make up the reforced Tank Divison. The other more extic units are being dealt with by the Defenders. There are about 40,000 Infantry, about 2,000 MBTs, a few hundred 140mm Heavy artillery peices, a thousand mortars, hundreds of heavy Machine gun nests, antitank Barriers and mines, Raser wirefields and other pleasentaries defending the city. They got a total of 100 Mitsubishi F-1s, 20 F-14s, 15 f-15s and 5 f-18s and more pilots than planes.

((Mind telling me where my Agents would be most useful? Where would 20 special ops commanders with supernatural skills do the most damage?))

700 casualities
30 tanks knocked out.

The troops open fire on the aircraft with stinger missiles and other AAMs mounted on Bradleys.

The 80 fighters are headed towards the battle to establish air supierority.

OOC:Where else, behind enemy lines, where all the highly trained loyalist guerrillas operating at and are causing serious problems as well as tying up plenty of enemy troops who would be otherwize on the front lines. The rebels are finding out why the Royal government had an entire miltary Acadamy devoted just to Gurreilla warfare, the Geri Acadamy of Urban and Gurrerilla warfare and they are finding out the hard way as well on why theres an miltary Acadamy of Electronic warfare. Meet up with the Loyalist guerrillas they can give you all sorts of good targets.

700 casualities
30 tanks knocked out.

The troops open fire on the aircraft with stinger missiles and other AAMs mounted on Bradleys.

The 80 fighters are headed towards the battle to establish air supierority.

OOC: You do reallized that the forces you are facing are also Highly trained, just as well equiped and vastly out number your troops and tanks, expceally when they brought in some of the reserves. :? So you should besides taking heaver losses you should fall back and regroup joining up with the Tordor defenders who are not attacking at the moment. Then consult with the defending miltary staff. This is not going ot be a easly won battle. As for the Air battle its more like nobody at the moment has enough aircraft to take control of the sky now that you brought in Aircraft, the rebels no longer control the skies after this but nether do the defenders. But you are doing better and this is just begining.

IC:The Rebels attacked ruthlessly they knew they had the advange now, they vastly outnumbered the belem forces attacking, they were highly trained and they were not like their forebearers attacking with outdated Equipment aslo because of the intial rapid adance of the belem forces, they opened them selves up to attack three sides with the rebels did with extreme lack of conern for their own lifes.(Nothing worse than fighting well trained fanatics). In the skies above the Rebel Planes dog fought agaist the Belem and Tordoran defender's Aircraft who slighly outnumbered them now.

700 Rebel casualities
15 tanks

The troops after taking 5 thousand casualities recieve the order to withdraw to more defensible positions.

The 900 pieces of selfpropelled artillery fire blister agent at the advancing enemy troops to give the troops time to withdraw(best thing about blister agent is even if only a inch of skin is exposed theres a chance it will start to blister and spread.)

The fleet begins to relocate 300 miles away from the coast to provide better missile coverage against the enemy forces.

Queen Seria sends a response "We may be able to protect these planes if you can get them into our controled Teritory but Half Our Air force was destoried on the ground at the beganing of the uprising when the rebels launched their surpise attack and we do not have enough Aircraft for our remaining Pilots. That is the only way we could protect those Aircraft."

The commander sends one last message before his flight makes way for the coasts of Southern Tordor, "Very well, we will set a course for the farthest part of your territory and strike targets will be designated from there.

"If it will please your Majesty, we will open communications with your defensive commanders once we have moved into the protected airspace."

The ships are set forward and are soon to be found circling over the coast, in Loyalist-held airspace.

OOC: It is southern Tordor that you control, right?

Also, I'm placing that message before/during Belem's airlift so the next portion is when his troops are done unloading.

IC: The Grand Fleet, now only a day away, begins preparations for possible combat duties. Western Asian Marines prepare their equipment for a deployment to support Loyalist Tordorians in cities they hold.

The heavy equipment aboard the transport ships and the combat aircraft are readied for duty and armed for rapid deployment into possibly hostile territory.

As it turns to night, the crews return to quarters and await arrival in Tordorian waters the next day.

OOC:The Capital is on the North coast, southport is at the southern most tip of Tordor, the Royalist forces control little less than half the country but it is not all in the same Area of the country.

OOC:Nasty stuff any wounded are going to be extemely campers if the chemical weapons(Poison gases like Chlorine, Safron, and such) that the Tordorans been throwing at each other didn't get them frist. Guess now your general in charge will meet with the Royalist Tordoran General in chage of the defenses.

The rebels took 3,500 casaulities but more imporantly stopped their frontial assault as their commanders meet to make adjustments to their plans, they do how ever continue their bombardment, however the Royalist Forces while having a little less in artillery have heavy and return fire as both sides bombard each other.

OOC: thats why I use it :twisted:

IC: General Camprini heads towards tordor command to meet up with the commanding general.

The commanding General was Lord Gersi who was waiting for the belem General to arrive.

"General what are the plans for the counter offensive?"

Now sucessfully, over the established safe zone, the pair of Gatekeepers orient themselves towards various targets across Rebel-held Tordor and bomb bays are opened to reveal the missiles mounted within.

As coordinates for strikes pour in, missiles are sent on their way, breaking past the speed of sound as they bear their payloads towards enemy infrastructure, troop formations, and armored groups. The strikes are not of a steady rythm or rapid pace, but the Gatekeepers find themselves to be well-employed.

OOC: The main loading of the GATEKEEPER units is the PDE-improved CALCM (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1866691#1866691), although a mix of other weapons are also included for more short-range and specialty applications. At least 3/4 of any normal load should be expected to consist of PDE-improved CALCMs with the rest being a mix of systems. Choose appropriate sub-munitions and warhead loadings for the stricken targets from the linked description.

So far, only a few rounds have been fired.

"General what are the plans for the counter offensive?"

Lord Gersi chuckled. "Well theres several things that will make the enemy extremely miserable and kill a lot of them, we just finished repairing a hundred tank destoyers and how would you feel If I said we were planing on bombarding the enemy troops with napam. next we need to get Air superority and theres a nasty surpise being set up for the enemy if they attack before we do or if they chase after us if we don't drive them back."

"My fleet can get you the air supeiority you need. When and where do you need it?"

"I need it tonight, we going to rain napam and shells down on them all day today with those tanks destroyers shoting at their tanks then we move in some destroyers, some frigates and our newly commitioned battleship and start really bombarding them really heavly on their right wing of their forces, make them think we are going to attack there complete with phony activatity, then at midnight we launch a full assault to turn their left wing which should be weakened to defend agaist the attack on their right wing which is not going to be coming. Then move in with the close Surport aircraft and do as much damage as possable to their right flank at the same time, like we got more troops than we do and we are going to attack there as well. By the time they realize that the attack on the left isn't a diverson it will be to late."

"Understood. I will have the battleships move in close to the coast to help with the bombardment." He tells one of his aides to give the orders.

20 Battleships and 4 shield AA ships beging sailing for 30 miles off the coast from the enemies position.

the 4 Carriers begin to arm the fighters and prep the pilots.

Lord Gersi issues orders to his aides as well. "Well if my plan works we should be able to smash the enemy where he least expects it and route him or at least drive him quite a ways from the capital."

"Excellent. I will have my troops ready for the attack."

The loyalist artillery rained down Napam and shells all day on the rebel forces while 4 destroyers, the new battleship and 6 frigates sailed in and the tank destroyers distroyed any rebel tank that dared to reveal itself, destroying a score of enemy tanks before the enemy withdrew their tanks to safer locations a thousand rebel soldiers were burned to death a with a few dieing from the shelling. Then as night fell, the warships opened up on the right wing raining down, 3, 5, and 21 inch shells down. Also the Royalist forces made a big show like they were preparing for an assualt on the right rebel wing, making it seem like their numbers doubled when it was just the same amount of forces but with fake soldiers and phony tanks making it look like their numbers tripled.

The next morning, a Western Asian naval fleet appeared within view of the shores of Tordor, off of Loyalist-held territories.

The task force was now assembled.

As the day progressed, a MEU was landed to provide security for coordination forces and equipment landing zones. The men of the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit landed and easily secured the friendly beach in anticipation of the 13th MELMIU (Marine Expeditionary Light Mechanized Infantry Unit), which was due to arrive by Condor VTOL transporters and various landing vessels. The marines all came from the ships of the 9th Devastator Squadron.

By nightfall, the MEU and MELMIU were both landed and secured along the beachfront as the heavy-hitting ships of the 9th DS sit off of the coast. A few attempted rocket and missile attacks on the fleet vessels were easily thwarted with CIWS or other defensive weaponry and, for the situation, it turned out to be a fairly calm day for the IDF's task force.

The Rebel ships were meanwhile busy battling the Tordoran Royal navy, however 3 rebel cruise missile subs moved into place and launched sending 50 cruise missiles skimming the ocean's surface on a pop up manunver towards the Western Asia fleet, however before they could launch all their missiles the subs were set on by a Loyalist Patrol sub and destroyed.

With news of the landing the Rebel command dispatched a full army corps to deal with the Western Asia landings, they had enough problems with the Loyalists, and the belem forces renforcing Royal forces without another front opening up.

The radars of the fleet, aided by those of the nearby Gatekeeper units, picked up on the radar signatures of the new assault as the light faded.

The Fleet Defense Destroyers, Cruisers, Aircraft Carriers, and other vessels armed with the powerful MTHEL II systems were first to respond. Although the low flight profile made it hard to find the missiles at first, the systems were able to adjust for the low-level fire. After a few RAM missiles were fired for some cheap shots at the targets, the MTHELs began to acquire and engage the sea-skimming targets. A mechanical humm was all that could be heard as the units went to work. While some of the missiles were defeated by the simple RAMs, the proven MTHELs did most of the work, each FDD MTHEL station knocking down a couple of the missiles before they were even able to enter the Fleet's Safety Zone. Several more missiles were destroyed as they began their 'pop up' routine, exposing themselves to the defensive batteries.

Less than a quarter of the missiles were able to approach their targets to within a few kilometers, but then the Millennium Gun CIWS stations opened fire, sending the expensive missiles into the surf. Aside from some minor shrapnel effects against a few small fleet craft, the ships of the line were all secured from damages.

The security level was boosted around the fleet and the vessels assigned to shore bombardment duties were readied for immediate action.

The Marines ashore are warned of approaching forces by the Gatekeeper units' monitors and set to work building temporary fortifications and reinforced earthen works to ready for the threat. Additional ammunition supplies are sent ashore and the Sentinels and UltraCobras are armed and readied for immediate action. The surrounding terrain is measured out and enemy approaches are recorded with mobile GPS and laser rangefinder units, the data is quickly sent to the heavy naval artillery and LAV-based mortar systems.

The 20 battleships open fir with there 16 inch cannons on enemy positions. 160 fighters are lauched from the fleet half f 14 and half f 18.

OOC:WA could you explain, how one, you detected missiles that were below normal radar range, a popo manuver is where the missiles skim the serface of the water below radar, before poping up when it reaches the target to slam into the super structure of the target. Do you have a speical radar I don't know about? All the missiles where the same type of missiles they wouldn't be going slower just be distanced by the fact of when they were fired. Could you explain it, I am a bit confused here.

OOC: Missed the part about the pop-up the first time through, but that would mostly change what systems addressed the missiles. The ships use hull-mounted, phased-array radar systems that seek "below normal radar range," or down to about 3 feet above sea level in calm seas (understandably, abilities are limited in higher sea state levels due to surface 'noise' but the systems have software filters to allow low-level scans). The fleet is near the Gatekeeper units, which bear large internal radomes that bear greater radar scan ability than the JSTARs platform. The platform is set to detect and identify any motion within detection range, so the missiles would likely be noticed in time for the semiautomated defensive systems (RAM, Sea Sparrow, and Millenium Gun).

Closer in to the ships, within about 10km, specialized radars tied to the Millennium gun units can seek down to the surface of the water...in RL tests, they were able to identify and eliminate simulated diesel sub periscopes just at the surface a good bit away.

The MTHELs can reach down to within 1 km of the ships and have very little (1-2sec) shot-to-shot 'cool down' time for medium-level threats. The operators only need to identify and order targets for destruction and the computerized targeting establishes a routine where every few seconds a new target is acquired and destroyed by the beam. The MTHEL and Millennium gun systems are designed specifically with cruise-missile warfare in mind.

I will modify the entry above to reflect the maneuver.

OOC:If its helps the variety of missile used is are harpoon style misiles hence, the pop up maniuvor, its not nearly as advanced as the cruise missiles used by the Tordoran government but expect them to act like long ranged versons of the harpoon. Now the Tordoranj government has some really hard to shot down ultra long ranged cruise missiles which is making really pain for the rebel forces because they try to put ships together in fleets the Loyalists blow them up if they try.

OOC: The Harpoons are fairly slow, as modern AS missiles go, which is primarily why I've developed some "special treats" on my own (which are being field-tested in this deployment, although not officially...as the missiles aren't "officially" done yet). Unfortunately, the range is somewhat limited still, so air-launches are the best platform, followed by small 'missileboats'.

The 20 battleships open fir with there 16 inch cannons on enemy positions. 160 fighters are lauched from the fleet half f 14 and half f 18.

The 80 odd rebel aircraft are overwelmed in what could called a turkey shot by the Belem Aircraft and the Loyalist send out their 100 Close Surport fighters which start destroying rebel bunkers and tanks by the score as the bombardment continues. The Rebel forces expecting an attack on their right wing shifted a majority of their forces to the right and weakened up their left wing... Soon the time for attack would come.

OOC: Your R&D would love to get their hands on some the missile and missile defense devolpments come up with by the Tordor miltary. Then again so would the Rebels.

The Rebels were unable to launch anymore sea borne missiles as the Tordoran Loyalists were using the four great Cruise missile silo bases to destory the enemy ships in any group larger than one ship in a three thousand mile radius and those ships not geting targeted had to fight the Loyalist ships and the subs were in a cat and mouse game with the Loyalist fleets. However the Rebels did land launch of ten Expermental missiles from a seized government testing Silo. These missiles headed toward their targets at Supersonic speed reaching speeds of mach 7, they were soppose to be able to dodge attempts to destroy them by their target's defenses and other missiles aimed at them.
