Iron Kingdoms War Games
OOC: This has been agreed on beforehand, so no, I'm not an Imperialist, a n00b, or someone to be I.G.N.O.R.E.D.
IC: A flight of 15 MiG-29's overflies Menoth's capital. They fire their missles at the parliament, Defense, and Health buildings, then fly away.
A brigade of commandos enters Menoth in the night. They take a border station and fortify it.
6000 Militiamen in trucks enter Menoth. They encounter resistance on a border road and open up with grenades and AK-47s, not to mention the occasional Anti-material rifle to launch 21mm shells at the border fort's building.

Eh?
How do you have so many people but are so small?
Hmm, well, lets see. If I can have up to 5%...
5% of 7 million is 350,000.
I have a total of 261,658. That is less than 350,000 a reasonable amount, even if I didn't have a military state (well kind of anyways).
Hence my military numbers.
My patriot missles manage to save the defense building however the parliment building (not in session) was destroyed a few senetors lost anyway the health building is destroyed aswell. Fighters scrambled to pursue the MiGs 10 fighters launched.
as the manin forces mobolize all paratroopers drop in with the M-8s to hold the enemy at the border fort as the main forses move up.
In addition parts of the border patrols break off from their maingroups and form a unit to take on the militia.
The President laughs to himself. He had the enemy where he wanted them.
50,000 more Militiamen enter through main roads, attempting to overwhelm the lightly armed paratroopers and M-8's. 1000 Abrams tanks spearhead this assault.
10 BAVI Eagle Eye bombers make strategic attacks on Menoth's road and railway systems, escorted by 15 MiG's. 10 more MiG's fly in to relieve the ones being pursued by Menoth.
The Carrier JNS Capital launches 50 FGT-15's, which begin launching missles at enemy position along the borders. JNS Undefeatable launches 14 CS Gas Trident II's at the capital, attempting to evade radar in the confusion and cause respiratory seizure of citizen and military men in the capital.
3 Wraith Patrol Boats move along the coast, launching rockets at coastal towns and ships, unseen on radar. They are followed by 3 Destroyers, 2 Cruisers, and 2 Frigates, which fire shells further inland.
30 militiamen are lost to the enemy attacks, as well as one truck. One MiG-29 is shot down by pursuing fighters.
OOC: Take that, Menoth!
*edit* adds own casualties from counterattack.
OCC:damn You johnston armed corp :x :evil:
400 of my small navy vesels swarm out of port and begin systematicaly (sp) destroying the wraiths and the other ships
now that the rest of the army is mobilized they move out and start breaking the spearhead force with the assistance of all the tanks and 10 bobmers escorted by 5 fighters
20 fighter bombers start bombing runs against enemy targets
in retaliation for the chemical strikes the remainder of the government send out the prototype chem missles against the enemy capital
almost all paratroopers die, the capital is amlost lifeless, some of the government survives in bunkers and such substantial damage is done to menoth's infrastucture

OOC: Though you had no chem or navy when you showed me your mil. Whatever :D .
IC: The surprise chem and minisub attacks are relatively effective. One destroyer and two frigates are damaged. The remainder of the ships get away. Damaged ship crews use remaining guns to fire CS Gas canisters into crowds of enemy ships. In the capital, around 300,000 are killed, including around 1/2 of the government.
The remaining 75 MiG's begin breaking up enemy fighter/bomber formations. The remaining Militiamen move into the combat, along with Snipers and Commandos.
After refueling, strike fighters and strategic bombers support the ground assault. 2000 militiamen lost.
President Johnston sends over a message to Menoth:
"If you surrender now, you lives will be spared. Otherwise, prepare for death."
OOC: I have to go to soccer, so we will continue later.
The 8 millionish (lost a few)troops continue forward with fighter-bomber support. The patriot missle systems move forward helping to cover the troops (I know that the 2 missle sytems can't cover 8 million trrops, they just help)
The President paces in his office.
A surrender offer goes to the remnants of government in Menoth.
It reads, "In light of your overwhelming force (we are outnumbered about 10:1 by now) and our lack of a large military, we are offering an absolute surrender of forces and all territory, arms, and infrastructure. We beg you to accept."
Menoth replies quickly, sending, "We gladly accept your offer seeing as how if we kept fighting too many would have needlessly died. Also had you needed to use your other chem weapons (I assume you have more) our infrastructure would have been completely destroyed."
The President alerts his troops and all fighting ceases.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
President Johnston takes off the VR helmet. He turns to the President of Menoth and says, "Well, now we know what would happen if I attacked a country 30 times as large as me."
The President of Menoth removes his own VR helmet and gloves. He replies, "Indeed, we do."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The soldiers who have been "killed" get up off of the ground, with mumbles of how much they hate these silly "wars", and why can't they just play a nice game of croquet instead?
Well, I thought that went rather nicely.
Evaluation (0-10, 10 being highest):
Army: 6. Maybe a 9 if we had equal forces.
Navy: 8. Needed more small ships to combat other small ships.
Air Force: 9. Airstrikes and dogfights both effective. Very good.
Missile Corps: 9.5. Effective with chemicals weapons in utterly destroying populations and infrastructure.
Overall: Army needs more expansion and/or overwhelmingly better equiptment than the opposition. Otherwise, continued expansion will help.
