This thread is dedicated for the landwar of the west of NEw GEnoa with the deployingsite of Southport. As far as I know the City of Southport is defended by New Genoan and New Empirian forces, under heavy ortillery fire . This thread will handle the events after the bombings and the Land theatre of west New Genoa.

OOC: Reserved for later post... there's some rambling about restarting the war, and I'm kind of bummed out from the liquifying of just about everything, but I'll attempt to do my damnedest to RP this out. Thanks for the understanding.

IC: General Kyte heard the rumbling of engines overhead and looked into the blazing sun. The invasion was coming. He immediately radioed Central Command who, in turn, signaled the alarm.

"To arms! To arms!" men exclaimed as they ran through the streets and camps to inform the large army of 250,000 New Genoans.

General Kyte stood silently for a moment, barely noticing the blaring annoucement that repeated "Code Red." continously. His trance was broken.

"General," a voice said. Kyte turned around. It was his aide. "Shall we prepare the tank assault yet?"

"Get that tank division moving. Fire up the SAMs and prepare heavy artillery. Deploy the M-26PA unit too. We'll flank 'em with those KAF's once they land. Until then, shell the hell outta them. Get me in contact with the New Empirian authority NOW!"

The man nodded. He replied, "I will at once, sir."

--

At the surface, top Army Regular officials handed out surplus ammunition to their men and support aircraft and choppers took to the skies. Ortillery fire slammed into the surface, hurtling men and equipment into the air, engulfing others in large bright red orange blooms of fire.

The fire crackled and screeches of agony were heard from hundreds of yards away.

Soon soldiers had manned almost every artillery battery and machine gun available, while others raced into the deep trenches, protected by a fence of barbed wire, to await the enemy and mow them down with more machine gun and rifle fire.

OOC: For more info on the M-26PA, ask NE. The KAF-90D battle tank. Well, you'll see how powerful it is as the fight continues, but I'll try to sum things up briefly:
Weapons:
1x 140mm ETC cannon (uses advanced propellant, penetrates like 155mm cannon basically, with extra power from quadra-charged ammo)
1x turret mounted 14.5mm ZPU-1 autocannon (600 RPM, can pierce most APC armor; controlled electrically from within the tank)
1x glacis-mounted 14.5mm ZPU-1 (controlled by driver)
1x coaxial 7.62mm mingun (for anti-infantry uses)
12x Kornet-2 ATGMs to the rear of the turret (can penetrate 1600mm of armor and travel 6km max)
Armor
Chobham armor and Kaktus-1 ERA. Equal to 1500 to 1700mm of armor
Other
Air-conditioning
Mine detection system
Navigation system
Support system
12 RPM autoloader

The Veganian transports has deployed in 5 different sites, 3 east of Southport and 2 north of Southport.

Each Contignent has the following:

50,000 Inquisitors
200 Panzer "Sidhe"
200 Panzer "Taurus"
40 Mobile artillery
300 Troop transports
500 infantry fighting vehicles

The sensor antenna on the recon-bot detected the oncoming units, and then sent out a short alert. They waited for the infantry to come on top of them.

OOC: I'm waiting for declared damages from ortillery and everyone to deploy before we start..

OOC-The bugbots buried themselves in their drop pods, burrowed, and shut down everything except for sensors. They'd be pretty hard to find, and hit, since the pod armor is pretty tough.

OOC: Sorry, New Genoa, I must have missed when you posted your deployment. Here we go.
IC:

Colonel Stojanovic stood over a map in his office when the report came.

”You say they have a massed army of 250,000 troops in the same place. How come you haven’t started the shelling yet?! What have our ortillery been up to, leaving such a fat target untouched” Stojanovic shook his head ” I want all our mobile artillery firing at that position, send messages to all our contignents, we have to triangulate our fire on that camp, NOW!”

”Yes, Sir!”

”Well, what do you wait for?! Didn’t I say Now?”

The radiotelegrafist started to frenetically send the encrypted messages as the mobile artillery units started to fire away at the target sent.

---------

The third division Panzer was running along on their route to cut off Southport. A harvester, armed with motorchains that struck the ground in front of them as they advanced, checking for mines, was keeping their pace down. Captain Seversky looked on his scanner, no enemy targets visible, these last miles had been easy, maybe too easy. Seversky ordered a halt, and jumped out of his vehicle. He wanted a visual on this. A troop transport halted aside his tank and the huge bulk of an Inquisitor also jumped out and joined him.

”Why are we halting captain?” The signs on the powerarmours shoulderpads showed him to a lieutenant of the Eliteunits.

”Something feels wrong” Seversky peered out over the plain in front of them. The sound of artillery was heard far behind them, with explosions being heard in the distance as the shells struck.

The inquisitor looked around for a while and finally spoke. ”With all due respect captain, I got 80 men sitting in this transport. We need to keep moving so that we can deploy the troops in entrench ourselves. We are sitting ducks here on the plain, and we got 10 more transports here. Could you please move on?”

Seversky peered out over the plain and then nodded. He jumped up and entered his Panzer and they continued their move.

The CRW-M-6 Mantis rose under one of the tanks trying to flip it over. The other CRW-M-6 units rose out from underground, and began firing their DU GAU-34 Gatling guns. It was like a scene from some sci-fi alien movie, with insect like monsters coming out of the earth. Then, the CRW-M-3 rose, their 20mm wreaking havoc as they launched AT missiles. The CRW-M-8-R recon units moved in from behind, their GAU-34s blazing, and their sensors providing targeting data to the oncoming HVM strike.

-In The Armadas-

Commodore: Link with the Genoese Military..

*link

"This is Commodore Lou Gonzo, Supreme Admiral of the Grunge-French Armadas: Because we need to get ride of the transports we are protecting, to fulfil our combat needs -against the Melkorian fleets- the transports will unload in the closest city of yours and not in Southport as expected:they will unload in New Genoa and there, what it is left of the 4th Armada will stay along with the unloaded transports, and there, the 400,000 soldiers, the tanks, artillery divissions and the combat vehicles will start marching towards Southport, so expect reinforcements sooner than later, the 4th Armada will stay, and the rest will be free to protect your waters"

The Panteran fleet sat off the southeastern coast of New Genoa, the crimson hulls of hundreds of ships riding low in the water. Three great carriers dominated the scene, thier size accented by the aircraft that continually land and lift off soon after. These are the Panteran High-Altitude fighters, thier patrols endless, though they had yet to see action this day.

Dayne the Evenstar, aboard his gargantuan Plunder Class Battleship, Silence, calmly awaited the coming battle. His Reavers knew thier business, and at the moment, he wasn't needed.

That would soon change, as reports of enemy thrusts had been coming in for the past few hours. Testing us... He thought, sipping at a glass of finely aged brandy

Sighing, he called to an aid,"Radio our allies. Once the enemy is landed, our aircraft will harry them, but as yet the Reaver presence aground is at minimum. Some two-hundred thousand are en-route however, and should be arriving over the next few hours. A quarter of these shall head for East Genoa, while the rest are deployed to Southport. Another fleet has been dispatched and is sailing for Southport, carrying some three-thousand SAt Missile batteries to aid in deflecting the power of the Gravships.."

Dayne waved a hand dismissively as he finished, the aid rushing off to relay the message to Allied Command. Leaning back and taking up his brandy once more, he took a long drink, his thoughts on the wife he had left in Pantera. Melkor's Pride shall spell the doom of many today. May the War favor the Reavers, may the Winds blow strong, and may we Drag the Waters forever...

Finishing his prayer, he thought of the coming fire, and the horrors that would come alongside it.

OOC: Well, the 250,000 is sorta spread out force but nevertheless

IC: : "Sir, enemy artillery and ortillery strikes have intensified. What shall we do?"

"What has radar told us? How many have they landed?"

"Troop transports are landing as we speak," the young aide responded.

"Sent a division to intercept whatever our radars have detected. That's a good 20,000 soldiers. Release the SAM fire."

"Immediately sir."

--

Reports came flooding in to Central Command. "Alright we've got enemy tranports landing roughly north of Southport. Unleash SAM fire."

Soon, hundreds of SAMs skyrocketed and sliced through the air, streaming towards the bellies of the dropships. Explosions rocked several areas from the massive SAM fire.

The tank division paced quickly over the roads. Over 500 tanks moved along the paths bound to flank the initial enemy landing site. Reports had already been received of the intended enemy landing and the tanks moved forward. The division was widely spread out to prevent any massive losses. The sight of the maginificient tank division was unbelievable.

--

More enemy ortillery slammed into troop concentrations and engulfed the areas in flames, torching the men on the ground. The alarms were now louder than ever as Army Regulars dashed to the hundreds of Humvees and APC's parked across the large base camp.

Army Regulars hopped into the vehicles, and accelerated the APC's and Humvees, bound to intercept the enemy advance. Over 11,000 soldiers filled the transports as they rolled forward.

Well over 300 close-ground support aircraft had taken off and were patrolling the outskirts of the base, occasionally opening fire on any suspected enemy transport.

<Allied Nations-We are attempting to land 10000 troops and 1000 units of power armor to assist you. Please provide cover while our dropships move in>

<Acknowledged. We'll do our damndest.>

<Understood, Empire. Drag the Waters.>

The Panteran SAt Batteries powered up, thier operators adjusting for orbit and friendly craft before relaying the commands to fire upon any craft interfering with the New Empire drop.

A score of High-Atmosphere fighters move in, to flank the drop, the reckless style of the Reaver pilots hard to ignore as the lightning quick aircraft streak across the skies, searching for signs of agression.

(OOC.: Following what we agreed yesterday, I´m waiting Melkor to answr on my new attack from my armadas to his gravships before I arrive to New Genoa, otherwise I won´t give Melkor a chance to answer back or make attacks on my fleet moving towards New Genoa, so I do not know when exactly my 400,000 soldiers -actually, 399,900 soldiers- and the artillery and tanks will arrive into your help, New Genoa)

The CRW-M-6 Mantis rose under one of the tanks trying to flip it over. The other CRW-M-6 units rose out from underground, and began firing their DU GAU-34 Gatling guns. It was like a scene from some sci-fi alien movie, with insect like monsters coming out of the earth. Then, the CRW-M-3 rose, their 20mm wreaking havoc as they launched AT missiles. The CRW-M-8-R recon units moved in from behind, their GAU-34s blazing, and their sensors providing targeting data to the oncoming HVM strike.

*bump*

"What the hell was that?"

"Something underneath our tank, captain"

*Bump*

A bonecrushing sound was heard when the 48 metric ton heavy tank ran over the Mantis. Captain Seversky only had time to sound the alarm when the sound of a gatling gun broke the silence. The first trooptransport never had a chance, the transport burst into fire as bullets penetrated the hull leaving the burning hull looking like a scorched swizz cheese. Inquisitors clad in battlearmour streamed out from the flaming inferno meeting only more fire when they tried to answer the fire delievered by the spiderthing.

The crew of one of the Taurustanks were not lucky enough to wear power armour. A missile struck it leaving it a burning wreck with its whole crew dead.

"Turn around the turrets God Dammit!" Seversky felt the panic enter as he saw another of his fellow tanks burst into flames. Finally they were able to return fire at the insectoids. The coilgun smattered away as the 140 mm smoothbore gun sought for its targets.

-----

The inquisitors dove out from their transports and tried to estimate the enemy's strength. Someone would pay for not seeing this ambush Captain Nilson thought as he ordered his men to open up with their heavy bolters at the spider things. He counted at least 2 transports destroyed and two tanks burning. Even for those inquisitors protected from the fire by their armours it would either be a long walk or a tight seating in the remaining transports after this.

OOC: 3 Transporters, 2 Sidhe tanks and 20 Inquisitors dead

-DELETED-

The CRW-M-6 Mantis, while crushed, still had one trick up it's sleeve. As the tank rolled over, it triggered the cluster grenades mounted along it's shell. The other units, still fighting with the Veganan tanks, used their lighter weapons, like the medium lasers and 20mm ETC autocannon to mow down infantry that dispersed from the damaged troop carriers. A CRW-M-6 blazed away, until a 140mm cannon blew it's turret/abdomen clean off it's legs. The CRW-M-8-Rs had the targets locked in now, as 40 HVMs were dispatched from orbit against the enemy forces not in contact with the CRWs.
--
The Dropships began streaking down, already in the atmosphere, with metal debris flying around them from the Sensor Disruption Pods (Jammers and lots of chaff, flares, and metal shards.)

Vegana, with the crisis in the Triune Kingdom at an end. The Reich shall come to your assistance. Army Group SATO, the shining Jewel of the Wehrmacht shall come to your assistance. They are being accomidated at Will Thompson Bay in Sainte Dominic as their home port in Reichskamphen was destroyed by the Republican forces.

Army Group SATO consists of nearly 3 million men and are a force that can be deployed anywhere in the world with relatively short notice for a formation of that size as they are always on high alert and essentially live in the AG SATO floatilla which is like a home away from home for them. All that is needed is for the ships to set sail and as long as the travel time takes, they shall be there. The Luftwaffe shall also establish a presence in the theatre.

I shall be arriving myself in my command ship to take command of Combined Reich forces for that is my duty as Supreme Commander of Reich Military.

Please advise me in as much detail as you can about the situation, the disposition of your troops, the enemy's troops, the enemy's advantages and disadvantages, as well as our advantages and disadvantages. I need a complete, huge briefing to fulfill this task. From studying the situation, I have many ideas that could bring this campaign to a victorious end and can provide tools for you which will destroy the enemy.

God Save the Reich!

His Royal Highness,
Will Thompson II
2nd Consul of the Reich (2nd in command, essentially deputy Fuhrer)
Supreme Commander of All Reich Military Forces
Foreign Minister of The Reich

OOC: Three million men, even with a big alliance won't be very easy to transport, unless you subtract the supplies and such. Or the vulnerability to bombers. :P But, keep the good RP going anyways! Just a tad bit more realisitic. Still waiting Vegana, the previous post shall be edited with a counter-strike after you post yours.

"To think we were once allied in a common cause... To help an APTO nation, and destroy those who threatened it."
OOC-http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=42094&highlight=
"But that doesn't matter now men. When we hit ground, I want you to fight just as hard against them as your granddaddies who fought beside them did against The Vandels. Kill 'em all. Oh, and stay the hell away from the bugbots, they might get confused, they'll pick you up and blast you as easily as they will to the Veganans."
The Sgt sat down among the ORC armor-clad troops, their M-32A1s loaded up and ready for action.

OOC: We've been through this before. This is a viable thing. If you want info about it TM me. Essentially Army Group SATO lives in a floatilla of ships which is almost like a floating city. It is a huge effort to move them, but all that is required is the order to move and they go. Due to the costs involved we try to keep them in base as much as we can. However, I am considering sending in only a fraction of AG SATO to keep costs down. I may end up doing that. But If I decide to send in the whole shabang it is a viable action. No matter what I send in, it won't be good news for anyone in AG SATO's path.

Iesus forces already in AG SATO will proudly lay seige to the evil that we fight here! but...to aid this struggle a additional..

Assualt Navy group -Containing new 'imperial' Landing craft and 15,000 Iesus Marines.

Navy command #10 Containing 2 aircraft carriers, with 16 assorted support capital battle-craft including the Battleship 'Innocent' and a dozen assort smaller craft.

3 Bomber groups. Containing Iesus A19 Strato bombers, based from the Reich.

3 Iesus submarine 'hunting packs' -Kyrie Eleison & Sancta Maria & Sancte Dei Genitrix

OOC: Reserved for post. Awaiting your counter to my attack of SAMs.

OOC: Huh, SAM's against already landed ships? Ahh well, I'll throw in a few latecomers :wink:
IC:
The ship on its way down toward the surface. Corporal Bates knew that they went by incredible speed towards New Genoa and it didn't comfort him a bit to see various, probably incredibly vital, instruments almost shake loose when going through athmosphere. But Bates had been through that before so he tried to reassure himself of his safety, atleast until they met their enemy. Something rocked the dropship heavily and suddenly Bates was flung into the wall. Something was wrong. The impact was astounding as the damaged dropship struck the ground, unable to brake, at an astaounding 300 meters / second.

OOC: Oh, they landed already :oops: ? I'll be back after school to RP.

OOC: Oh, they landed already :oops: ? I'll be back after school to RP.

OOC: No problem, you got one droppod arriving late. Never waste a good post. NEw Empire: what's a HVM?


The Dropships began streaking down, already in the atmosphere, with metal debris flying around them from the Sensor Disruption Pods (Jammers and lots of chaff, flares, and metal shards.)

"Incoming!" Seversky screamed as the the turret of his Panzer swerved and started launching SAM's at the incoming dropships.

One of the Inquisitor jumped the last spiderthing swinging at it with his chainsword. Beside him one of his battlecomrades got his arm blown of by a laser shot but still managed to fire back with his heavy bolter with his one good arm. Blood and metalpieces lay strewn everywhere.

Central Command
Reports were flooding nearly every minute.

"Sir, we have a situation. Intelligence has pointed out that enemy vessels have already landed and are bound for the city. The SAM attack was nearly useless. Orders?"

The man grumbled. "Dammit! Alirght, radio Kyte and those damn ground support aircraft. I want two air wings to strafe those bastards. ETA for the tank divsion?"

"Approximately 45 minutes sir."

"Excellent," the commander commented, wiping the sweat off his forehead. "I want to be assured that they are travelling spaced out enough to ensure minimal destruction from any enemy aerial or ortillery attacks."

"It's already been confirmed, sir. The APC's and Humvees have reported sights of enemy vehicles. They're moving in to engage. Arillery and anti-armor missiles are being prepared as well as the troop assault."

The man nodded. "Very good, indeed."

--

On the waters
The New Genoese Fourth Fleet, which had been stationed to defend the western coastline, floated atop the bright blue ocean waters. Admiral Green was in his quarters, discussing a current issue with his assistants and subordinates.

"You've detected an enemy fleet moving towards our lands?" he inquired, to make sure he had heard the entire report correctly.

"Yes, we're suspecting they're Reich reinforcements for Vegana. We believe it may be the notorious AG SATO. Basically, a floating army. Several million men strong."

"Damn those Christian bastards!" Green blurted out. He slammed his hand onto the table. He sighed, "Prepare to launch a massive salvo at the enemy fleet. Get those subs underwater and moving too. We'll torpedo 'em to death while we're at it. Now, I'm a little hesistant about sending any attack aircraft. Is there anyway we can assault the fleet without being detected by that SDI system?"

"Unknown sir. Panteran SAt's can most likely destroy the satellites, but it's worth a shot. Low-flying, surface-skimming aircraft may also do the trick, if we have any within this fleet. Do we?"

"Yes, yes. I'll get the numbers soon, Captain," Admiral Green responded. "Meanwhile radio any Allied fleets. Tell them to prepare for hell," he said as he exited the room.

--

Somewhat east of Southport
The entire KAF-90D tank division, supported by various anti-infantry vehicles and support aircraft sped towards Southport. There were two main groups, which were accordingly broken up as well. One was to smother enemy landings and movements to the north, the other was share in the defense of the capital itself and its southern suburbs.

--

On the ground, Southport
General Kyte nodded several times, and put away his transmitter. He hollered, "Get Air Wings One and Two moving! Coordinates <insert lots of numbers here>! We've got company coming."

Men had already cautiously marched to small, undefended trench areas outside of the city as well as in it too. Now they waited, while others moved to location to location frequently. Many hopped into support vehicles, choppers, and still another wave of APC's was being assembled.

Meanwhile, orders and reports still blared over the PA system as men scrmabled to new positions or made new adjustments with every order and instruction given.

There was little time left.

Colonel Stojanovic stood over a map.

”Status report, Master Bates?”

”We got some casualties as one of our drop-pods was hit by some SAMs.”

”What contingent? Casualties?”

” The second, Sir, 1000 Dead Sir”

Colonel Stojanovic followed the lines on the map slowly with his finger. That would weaken their northern front, but not significally.

”Any other casualties”[i]

[i]”They report fighting just south of the first contingents landing zone. Something about giant spiders”

”Giant spiders? Did those damn Elves get here as well? Keep me posted about those spiders. If the elves are here I want the last anti-elf tech sent here along with some reinforcements.”

”Yes Sir!”

Stojanovic watched his aide salute him and scuttle away to continue getting information.

Over 200 A-10 ground support aircraft had diverted their coarse, patrolling the outskirts of the city, and steamed forward. Equipped with over 16,000 pounds of cluster bombs on two air-to-surface missiles each, they were a mighty force.

"Enemy vehicles spotted, two o'clock. Move in for the kill."

"Roger that, Thunder One." They sliced through the air and rapidly began the first strafing run against the armored and transport vehicles. War had begun...

http://i.a.cnn.net/cnn/SPECIALS/2003/iraq/interactive/us.aircraft/fighters.attack/06.a10.thunderbolt.jpg

OOC: Now just a note: I still have some 100 A-10's in the air over the city to provide cover for my troops.

Somewhat east of Southport
The entire KAF-90D tank division, supported by various anti-infantry vehicles and support aircraft sped towards Southport. There were two main groups, which were accordingly broken up as well. One was to smother enemy landings and movements to the north, the other was share in the defense of the capital itself and its southern suburbs.


The Veganian transports has deployed in 5 different sites, 3 east of Southport and 2 north of Southport.


OOC: I would shoot your intelligence officers if I were you.
IC:
Stojanovic couldn’t believe his ears. A whole tank division heading right into the main body of his army? His scouts believed they were heading for the northern contingents, but bad intelligence hadn’t told them that the lion part of his army were in their way.

”God is Great brothers!, He has delivered our enemy right into our hands and we will stop at nothing for smiting them. Prepare to fire! The plain will flow with the blood of the unbeliever”

The three contingents prepared a nutcracker move that would flank the division to obliterate them. Stojanovic couldn’t believe his luck, “Military Intelligence, can’t live without it, but it might kill you”

The chainsword ripped through a coolant line, spraying the area with freezing liquid. A manipulator arm swung out at an approaching soldier, as the guns continued to blaze, now against the SAM using vehicles. The intent of using robots shaped as spiders was working well, the psychological value was great.
--
Losses-
10 Mantis, 3 Grunts, and 1 "RecceBug".
--
"INCOMING! Deploy forward disruption pods. Try to take the missiles out with the laser pods!"
4 Dropships in the primary group exploded or crashed, killing 151 men.
"JUST DROP US OFF HERE!"
The ships flew low, their gatling guns and lasers suppressing the enemy units while troops jumped off the back.
The soldiers set up cover fire with the M-32 rifles, using the MicroETC caselss rounds to give their SLAP rounds an extra punch. Meanwhile, the Armkreuzwolf, (Spiderlike powered armor, size of VW beetle, with 20mm ETC cannon, 2 Kornet 2 missiles, and a 7.62mm Minigun) providing anti-tank support.
--
Axes flash, broadsword swing,
Shining armour's piercing ring
Horses run with polished shield,
Fight Those B-stards till They Yield
Midnight mare and blood red roan,
Fight to Keep this Land Your Own
Sound the horn and call the cry,
How Many of Them Can We Make Die!

March of Cambreath

OOC: Vegana, I have a good plan, I just need the briefing that I previously asked for before I know what will and will not work.

Also only 850,000 men of AG SATO have been deployed. And...I wouldn't do that If I were you...

OOC: Oh, Jesus, I must've read it wrong. Ach. But don't think you'll get away with these tanks. Some of the best on NS, if you note the brief stats I gave earlier.

IC: Rumblings of unfamiliar engines were heard and a young soldier spotted an unsual convoy moving towards Southport. "What the hell? Are those friendly units moving westward to Southport?" the young soldier inquired as he looked through a periscope to west.

"Hell NO! Those are enemy vehicles! GOD DAMN INTELLIGENCE. Alert the whole fuck-ing division. We'll hit 'em from the rear if they've neglected to notice us. Rain down Kornet-2's followed by cannon bombardment. They won't stand a chance," the commader said.

"Are you sure that's the entire force? They may be trying to dupe us with a flanking tactic or something else. Perhaps aerial bombardment. Space the tanks just enough to prevent making them into big fat targets for any enemy bombers. Form a square-like formation though. This way we can prevent any flankings. Halt the division."

"Well, I'll be damned Lieutenant, nice plan. Then so shall it be."

The message buzzed throughout the communications system as tank crews took quick notice of the report. After minutes of scrambling a small, but efficient assault of close to 100 Kornet-2's steamed out of their launching pods carrying a 1600mm penetrating blast along with them.

After this they raced patiently, sometimes unorderly, but managed to form a sqaure-like nearly still formation, with their 140mm cannons sticking out. They were spaced however and would occasionally advance either north, west, south, or east to prevent any chance of them to become total sitting ducks.

OOC: I dunno, the PzKpfw XXI-A Reichsfuhrer tanks of AG SATO are pretty damn good. Same armour thickness and speed as yours, but differant weapons features. I will fill y'all in on it later.

Vegana, if you are a Reich member, which you are, you have brought mobile V-4 batteries with you on this excursion. They lay waste to three city blocks. I would suggest you take advantage of them as every Reich nation was provided with them.

OOC: Good to see you Will! IRC please, we need a strategy talk as you said

A map: http://www.freewebs.com/the_allied_powers/newgenoa.gif

Grungy boy, do you actually know how far it is between new Genoa and Southport?

The Fourh Armada arrives at the beaches of New Genoa, and with it, the transport divisions.

--------

Supreme Commander: General Gaspar Enaine
Total Infantry forces: 399,000
Diverse Combat Vehicles:3000
"Heavy Loter" Tanks: 1500
Artillery Divisions:10 Artillery Divisions, each of them with:
-10 "Pitbull" Electronic Howitzers (anti-air weapons)
-20 "Magrazintek" Electronic Howitzers (anti-infantry weapons)
-20 "Valle" Artillery Pieces (anti-building weapons)
-10 "Megazintek" Electronic Mortars (anti-tank or Mechs weapons)
-300 soldiers


-------

The ships have unloaded the soldiers.

General Gaspar: "All right boys -hey, be careful with that tank... there you go..- boys: let´s hurry things up, we have to start our march towards Southport, to join the New Genoese forces.

**Incoming Transmittion from Tomás Ajó, Admiral of the 4th Armada-

"General Gaspar, march next to the beack: that way, my Armade will escort you and no one iwll be able to hurt you from the skies or from the seas, you´ll be covered"

General Gaspar: All right then.

------


The Forces started their trip to Southport, to give the final push to the allies.

~~~Transmission to Grunge-French Army Units~~~
Reports are coming in by a trickle, but there have been several messages of an enemy landings to the east of the city. Reinforcements, to that area, may prove vital. Dispatch several divisions, no more than 50,000 ground units, until we have confirmations of any massive enemy forces. Until then, forces will need to be deployed to the north of the city where a battle is breaking out as we speak. Air support will be needed desperately, soon.
~~~End Transmission to Grunge-French Army Units~~~

--Transmission to the Genoese Military Leadership--

We are marching right now to New San Marino, trying to be as nearest to the coast as the situation allows us: once we got there, I will ask the 4th Armada to start providing you air superiority, by releasing jets and bombers.
There, I will divide my force in 3, and we will go all down to the south east, south and south west, to finally reach Southport.

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

---Transmission to the New Genoese Military Leadership---

This is General Gaspar Enaide, we have arrived to New San Marino.

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


General: All right: let´s divide our forces: I want a main force of 300,000 soldiers in the central force, then, 40,000 soldiers will march down to the east, where the Genoese reports tel us that might be another invading force, and the rest of the soldiers will go down to the west: we will totally close the access of enemy troops outside Southport, we will push them and send them to the sea if needed.

Captain: What abotu the tanks and artillery?

General: I want the 1st, 2nd and 3rd, tank divission in the centre with me, the 4th will be with the west force, and the 5th will be with the east force. I want two artillery divisions with the west force, two artillery divissions with the east force, and the rest with me.


General: Link with the 4th Armada

-Link Established-

General: Admiral! there´s a lot of enemy activity in the east of SOuthport, can you do something about it?

Admiral:I´m heading that way, but for the moment, 70 "Golden Eagle" Jets have left the Carriers and are heading towards Southport: I´ve warned the New Genoese to use their SAMs carefully, because from this moment, we have air superiority, and most of the jets will be ours.

General:Can you cover my forces from attacks coming from space vessels?

Admiral: Affirmative, except the West force, all th eother forces are on my range, and I can protect them.

General: If you find an enemy fleet, will you be able to engage in combat?

Admiral: It depends in its size. We have damaged ships because of the Melkorian attacks, but most of our ships are functional.

General: Intelligence inform us about the possibility of a MASSIVE enemy forces that could land at any minute, I think the best thing we can do is forbid the enemies to make more landings.

Admiral: I have not enough force to do that: However, I´m right now sending your suggestion to the Headquarters in Grunge-France, and see if the President decides to send more fleets.

General: Why don´t you ask the other Armadas that are near New Genoa to join you?

Admiral: They were ordered to anihilate the Melkorian Fleet at all costs, until then, they are all busy.

--end of the link--

Pilot: This is Captain Jhon, I´m 400 kilometers away from Southport with my jets, all systems functional, and missiles charged: ready for operation "air superiority".

Pilot: Affirmative Captain John, let´s quick some asses!


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


IN GRUNGE-FRANCE

"By presidential orders, The 10th, 11th and 12th Armadas were ordered to set sail, with them, 300 *Covered Crawler Transports with more than 20,000 forces, are ready to navigate to New Genoa, to Southport, to be exactly"

*Recently acquired from The Resi Corporation

Armaments: Ten (10) Torpedo Tubes up and down either side of the "spine", and dual (2) cutting
water-cooled lasers Ultra
pressure-resistant, the Covert Crawler is the perfect place to hide troops from enemy eyes, as
even submarines will have a tough time combatting something moving at this high of speeds.
The Covert Crawler operates below
radar, so there is no nead to fear detection when it lands.

"Also, we want to inform you that our space shipyards are reparing the damages in the AoE2 Regional Fleet, nd that we are about to receive some vessels from Angelus, and about to start constructing more Construction Yards (tomorrow I´ll have another one) "

OOC: The original plan for the Republic of Adejaani was lots and LOTS of cluster bombs dropped from bombers and tactical fighters. Well here it is.

IC: Vice President Erin "Sneezy" Aireserkeiel rubbed her eyes and looked at the report from Southport "Alright, it's time. Hundred Raps on Air Superiority, Six Prowlers and a hundred each of Super Intruders and Super Hornies on cluster bomb runs. Let's start softening them up."

OOC: Forces headed for Vegana ground troops:

• 100x F/A-22 Raptors
• 6x EA-6B Prowlers
• 100x A-6F Super Intruder
• 100x F/A-18E Super Hornet

Only the Intruders and Hornies carry cluster bombs, though.

Note: The Prowlers are eletronic warfare aircraft which will try to jam the enemy's radars. :roll:

EDIT: SORRY Grunge France! :oops:

OOC: GF is on our side man.

~On the Bridge of the Liberty Fighters' Space Corps Flag ship "O'Connor" stands Chancellor O'Connor himself ~

O'Connor: Ensign, give the signal to commence operation 'Preserve Liberty'.

Ensign: Yes sir, the Naval corps under Fleet Admiral Finn has begun its fianl formation and will commence bombardment after the air corps strikes, the rest of our fleet up here is awaiting your signal to commence our bombardment. The air Corps have dropped to strike level waiting your final word sir.

O'Connor: Very well, Give the final order to the air wings to attack, tell Finn that as soon as the bombers are clear to begin his first volley.

Ensign: Messege send sir

O'Connor(on the com): All ships, the air wing has begun its assault, when Finn's ships shift to thier second objective send your first vollies.

===============================================
As Commanded the First Wave of the Liberty Air Corps comes down upon the Invasion forces east of southport dropping carpet bombs and napalm

The first Wave:
5th-7th F-16 Squadrons
13th-16th, 25th&26th b-2 Bomber Wings

~~~Transmission to Grunge Command~~~
This is Chancellor O'Connor OF the liberty Fighters, we have been having slow downs in our new system but we have arrived, I have accompanied my first support wave, i have Space, Air, Ground, and Naval forces in abundance. I have not been engaged as of yet, but to give you guys a little break i am hitting the Riech forces east of southport where they have landed, my pilots have reported smaler contingents landed in other places, some are farther inland, prepare for mre engagements, the skirmishes you are hitting are advance parties by the look of it. TG me anytime we need to co-ordinate
===End Transmission===

OOC: I shall enter the fray tommorrow. I just need to speak with Vegana before I do.

In the seas just off of SouthPort a massive fleet gathers , many transports are seen , and a cloud of planes darken the once bright sky. Elarian troops seem confident as they stand in columns on the massive transports , some singing songs of war and of their beloved Emperor.

The Tigershark , Naval Flagship of the Empire leads the fleet , onboard Admiral Hester is in command he looks confident and at ease. Fully dressed in military garb he looks quite suave in his black naval suit.

Admiral Hester: "Comm , open transmission to New Genoese Command."

Comm: "Yes Admiral , Transmission opened , clear."

Admiral Hester: "This is a secure transmission , in a moment Imperial Forces will charge the beaches in support of their New Genoese allies by command of the Emperor." "We will at first commense bombardment of enemy positions before the landings." "Keep your men away from these bombardments until you hear them pause." "Ending Transmission , the Empire stands with you."

Transmission Ended.

Admiral Hester: "All ships commense bombardment , fighters and bombers fly in commense your runs."

Massive fire commenses from the Imperial Navy , Gentari Fighters and White Tiger Bomber IIIs move in and start their runs over enemy positions.

______________________________________


In the air a lone Elarian Shuttle flies with the rest of the air fleet. Onboard the Elarian Shuttle is a group of 50 of the best Imperial Guards and the Emperor himself.

Inside the Transport Emperor Roland Meridius kneels with all his men , their heads bowed as he spoke.


Emperor Roland: "Today we fly into battle , protect me and my men , protect those in the sea , space , land and in the air." "Let us bring hell upon the invaders , the ones who would destroy for nothing." "We are a warrior race , and we shall show it to the enemy today." "The Empire shall never fall , and neither will any of its allies whilst it stands." "The Blue Tide cometh."

Honor and Glory were very valuable to the Elarians , and so was their beliefs , the men stood and saluted the Emperor who stood in his armor , ready for battle.

Pilot: "Prepare for drop!" "Careful Sire."

Emperor Roland: "And you be careful friend , glory to the Empire!"

The Doors to the Elarian Shuttle opened and the Emperor and his 50 Imperial Guards Jumped from the Shuttle and soon landed on the outskirts of SouthPort.

_______________________________________

In Space 50 cloaked Elarian vessels put themselves in orbit above earth. These were smaller than the main Elarian Fleet ships and they were brand new from Kebrel Space Station , just launched with new commanders. These new sleek Elarian vessels only carried 500 crew but they had rapid fire laser cannons and plasma torpedoes , , and heavy shielding , they were obviously prepared for battle.

________________________________________

Suddenly the Imperial Naval Fleet stops firing , transports hit the beach and swarms of Elarians pour out headed for SouthPort.

Under the cover of Elarian fire, a steady stream of 300 total dropships, commenced operations. The dropships, some loaded in Sambizie and some on the Destroyers, which have just arrived to Earth. The ships barely land as the Mechs pile off.

Sand, dust and colored smoke fill the air as drop commenses. After 1 hour, the offloading is complete.

12,000 - INF-5 Inflitrator MkII Mechs have landed alongside of the Elarian troops.

OOC: New Genoa has full command of these reinforcement units, as I will not be RPing them "out".

Iesus forces already in AG SATO will proudly lay seige to the evil that we fight here! but...to aid this struggle a additional..

Assualt Navy group -Containing new 'imperial' Landing craft and 15,000 Iesus Marines.

Navy command #10 Containing 2 aircraft carriers, with 16 assorted support capital battle-craft including the Battleship 'Innocent' and a dozen assort smaller craft.

3 Bomber groups. Containing Iesus A19 Strato bombers, based from the Reich.

3 Iesus submarine 'hunting packs' -Kyrie Eleison & Sancta Maria & Sancte Dei Genitrix

OOC: Mind if I join in? I posited a certain degree of submarine activity of mine S-SW of NG... can I have some details in particular as to the routes of the abovely emboldened?

On board the TJSS-701, S-SW of NG deep in the water:

"Report from above, cap'n. Southport appears to be the center of the war right now, and we've got live targets everywhere... and possibly an Iesusan presence. Transmission cut before I could get details."

OOC: I would like to remind people of the fact that the only presence in the vicinity of Southport are New Empire, Vegana and New Genoa.

I would wish for all other people to step down until The rest of the Reich forces arrive since:

A. Grunge france has to march over half a freakin nation to get to Southport.
B. Reich armada is on their way (should take about as long as walking from New Genoa to Southport, if the GF forces rushed it.)
C. We were trying to keep the fight small as too many combatant makes things kind of messy.
D. I suggest we split it up in more threads since there is bound to be a naval battle outside Southport first and I wouldn't like it in the same thread as the ground battle.
E. There are other ground battles in other places. I know this is a hot spot, but are you going to teleport your troops to other places when Melkor and the other allies arrive?

OOC-They're coming here because a bunch of people were pissing of Melkor, who canceled the main war.

OOC: Vegana, I relize that this is a private RP and you wish to keep the number of participants to a minium. But as I stated, these are reinforcements for NG. I do not intend to RP them. Certainaly allies, members of his region should be allowed to supply him and provide assistance just as The Reich will be doing for you. Sorry for the intrusion, just had to clear that up.

OOC: I will have to talk with Melkor about this. I thought we had a good RP going, but the only reason The Reich Attacked New Genoa was because Melkor called in a favour of Iesus in which I was supposed to capture the western part of New Genoa. If the war never happened (&%%"# ¤(#¤/" all the hours spent in vain again...) I probably will not attack New Genoa.

I hope Melky will rethink his decision and that some mod can clean up the other warthreads. The only reason I started started this thread was because there were too many people in the other thread. And I don't want that to happen here as well since we had a nice RP going and suddenly all nations in the world teleported from Blaine Island to the other side of New Genoa and marsched from New Genoa in no time. You have to understand that I'm not complaining about other peoples timeline, but since I am not on often enough it is impossible to handle more than three or four enemies. (WHich has been proven soooo many times before)

OOC: Im hoping this war is called off , Im too sick to RP this right now. If the war continues NG has my support since Im an ally of his. If it doesnt then my men go back to Elara and I can rest and get better.

OOC- Vengana, Ive been one of the closest sipporters of NG, i also am very close to him globaly, hence the quick military retaliation, also if you could respod to my attacks that would be nice, but im patient, wars take forever, i have np problem with it.

OOC: If this war is off, then thats all the better. Ive got things to attend to and Couldnt give it my all I dont think.

Address to agressors::
I am Chancellor W. O'Connor as you may or may not know. I am here to issue a brief statement to the agressors in this conflict. Due to melkor's withdrawl from the initial war, all of the allied foucas is now on the southport campaign, leaving the Reich miserably outnumbered, because melkor is not-unlikley to do this The Liberty Fighters give you one last chance to stop all offensive against the APTO and leave APTO territory immideatley, if you comply we wil llet you leave without any further attacks. Failure tyo comply will result in the obliteration of your offensive roops in our lands.

Interesting theory. The problem is that this war never happened either if the main war is called off. I propose a freeze in the war until we've spoken to Melkor about this. I spent too much energy on this for it to just be called off. I will also speak to my other Reich members and we will decide if we will destroy your puny alliance or not :wink: In short:

Noone does anything more until we know if this happened or not. or can make it rehappen

OOC.: Agree: Until this is solved, everything is freezed.

Damn ,just when my Region approved to make the "Grunge-French Armeé" the "AoE2 Army" meaning that my number of forces have been multiplicated for more or less 19 times, since now all the armies in AoE2 Region are only one.:D

OOC: "Le Grand Armee" huh? J'aime l'Empereur, mais tu n'es pas Napoleon. Yes we should freeze it.

Of course Je ne suis pas Napoleon, actually, his figure is "non-grata" in The Second Grunge-French Republic, we consider him against the objetives and principles of our Republic.
But, that´s how our army is called.
