This thread shall serve to organize the war that is now occuring in the region of North Alerica, we ask that only participants in this war post.

Some background information:

The war right now seems to be three-sided, mixing 2 major conflicts, that of nations for and against recently enacted laws that some view as an infringement upon liberties and national sovereignty, and another of nations for and opposed to outside interference from the region of the USSR.

Some basic "rules" ( :roll: ) for the war:

-We're going to try and keep it fairly realistic and based in real-world capabilities and weapons, though there are a few legitimate devices that have been "developed" specifically by participating nations that are also fair game.

-And, of course, the general god-modding prevention. Post merely the initiation of an action, and leave the results up to the side you're attacking (for example, there's a key ABM defense piece in effect, so saying you obliterate a city with nukes isn't going to be accepted). Defenders, be realistic in fair in battle results, even if you do get decimated, it adds to the fund (and it's only RP, you can come back later), so don't worry too much.

Let the battles begin!

I have just recieved terrible news from my scouts. The Peace Defense force around the borders of KoS have been utterly decimated and cut down to the last man. 50,000 people who were keeping the peace have died.

Natopia is currently sending its forces deeper into KoS's territory. Natopia's forces will be hooking up with reinforcements from the Great Thesisme sometime in the next hour.

By the way, Natopia's army according to the military calculator is:
24,045,000 standing forces

4,809,000 forces that can be drafted quickly.

OOC: would Moscowy citizens count as valid participants?

OOC: Yes Moscowy citizens count.

The Swiss Guards II Corps has been split for the simultaneous invasions of the nations of Onizuka36 and the Knights of Solamnia, a full armored cavalry divison afforded to both assaults, with 2 mechanized infantry divisions sent to the Onizuka36 border, and the remaining mechanized infantry division to aid in the assault of KoS. III Corps is being sent to the Holy Empire of Natopia and will be placed under the command of that nation's defense forces, while the I Corps remains in reserve inside The Swiss Guards.

"Sir! News from Knights of Solamnia!"

"What?" The president has been sitting in his chair, looking over the horizon out of the window, seeing slight sparks come up here and there.
"I'd rather hope this is a fireworks spectacle and not a war. Don't tell me that is war."

"Sir, I hate to report it, but it is. KoS peacekeeping forces were obliterated, and many large nations have begun to brawl among the once neutral territory."

"What people will do for their ideals..." The president takes a sip of water. "Tell the General of Defense that we need to have our troops mobilized... just in case."

"yes, sir."

"NACIA may have pushed us into enactment of this law, but i won't be so easily pushed into war. And man fights man once again... may God find mercy on us all..."

"Amen, sir."

50,000,000 armed troops approach the Onizuka36 border ready to defend against the attack. This includes an assortment of every type of military tool we could get. We're talkng bombers and fighter jets and ships and tanks and infantry and anything else. You name it we got it.

Koffee troops are off and into the air. 20,000 troops should be within both Onizuka and KoS within the hour. By late tomorow morming, there should be 65,000 thousand in each.

I have now begun to get reinforcements assembled from other regions. With very little effort a coalition of nations has sent support.

Koffee, thank you for your kind support. We'll need all we can get. Natopia is a formidable opponent indeed. He cannot of course defeat me as he does not have the manpower to defeat me.

The Solamnic High Council has ceremonially cut down the KoS flag in the symbollic gesture of the end of peace, and they and the flag (a large tarp like thing) have been evacuated to an undisclosed place in Onizuka's mainland.

Natopia is instituting a draft to call up more forces to compliment its army of 26 million. 200,000 of which are currently seizing as much territory as possible in KoS with help from the Great Thesisme which has sent another 200,000.

OOC: Allies List!

Known Axis Team: Natopia, Great Thesisme, NACIA, Valor, Leafeye, Moscowy amd Swiss Guard.

Known Allies Team: Onizuka, KoS, Exiles, Alerica, Koffee, Lorpius Prime, Endo (sp? its Onizuka's Moscowy nation) and Neo Aureus.

The 50,000,000 troops i sent have just arrived in KoS and are preparing for combat. I do pray we can keep the fighting away from the civilians. A draft! Now you make your poor citizens fight for your unworthy cause too! I can only pray that they erst in peace after they fight me as well as that they may forgive you when all of this is over.

Natopia's remaining forces, numbering 25 million in strength, has been cut in half. Half now defends the Natopian Empire, while the other half has been sent to the Great Thesisme to aid him in defeating Onizuka36.

This is a sticky situation for the Lorpian Military, but we must heed the call of duty.

Lorpian Amphibious forces, detached from the blockade currently halting further USSR forces from entering the region, will be landing on KoS soil. However, we fully respect the national sovereignty of KoS and will do our best to defend that nation from incursions by forces loyal to Natopia. The primary purpose of the Lorpian military in the KoS is to route USSR troops that are here in North Alerica unwanted. USSR personnel will be given one opportunity to surrender before being fired upon. Rest assured that surrendering forces will not be harmed in any way, but will be returned to the USSR as swiftly as possible, along with all equipment property of the USSR that is confiscated as well.

And a note to Natopia and his lackeys. You are not welcome here either, if we find you violating the borders of KoS, you will be destroyed.

Stephen Harvern
Secretary of Defense for the Federation of Lorpa

Since Onizuka seems to have emptied most of his nation, Agent Valor is sending all availible forces to Onizuka's territory (OOC: look at Agent Valor's population, thats no small number.) Agent Valor's forces will be meeting with the forces of the Great Thesisme before storming across Onizuka's capital to destroy as much as possible before a defending force returns. They will take no prisoners, they will simply kill all able bodied men and women that can fight, and burn all installations that can be used for Military Purposes.

Known Allies Team: Onizuka36 (and all of his nations), KoS, Exiles, Alerica, Koffee, Lorpius Prime, Endo, and Neo Aureus. The region of Animetown, some additional suppotr from anonymous supporters in The Magicians. Supprt has also been sent from The USSR (not USSR). I am also hoping others in North Alerica will join us. This includes Of the People. I really do not wish to get anymore outsiders involved.

Did you not see what I had posted on the message board in North Alerica? Obviously your scouts are terrible at their job as the did not realize that I have another 100,000,000 troops inside Onizuka36.

OOC:I have to go to bed. I'll continue this tomorrow.

IC:Reinforcements from my nations and the other listed allies outside of Notrh Alerica will arrive early tomorrow morning. This will consist of an additional 200,000,000 troops.

OOC: Thesisme has the 14th best military in the world. So this looks like it will truly be a test of quality vs. quantity. Though its hard to navigate that many troops quickly, heh, Thesisme and Valor won't be moving that fast either though as they've got a big force too.

The Great Thesisme is confirming Natopia's reports that The Great Thesisme has sent reinforcments to assist Natopian soldiers in KoS and to assist Agent Valor's forces in Onizuka. The Great Thesisme is also outraged at the treasonous acts by there North Alerican nations... Allowing USSR forces onto Alerican soil is unthinkable. Additionally, The Great Thesisme reminds the nations of North Alerica that Natopia was elected to his position, and his decrees are binding.

~The Great Thesisme

After hearing official war that KoS has been invaded by Natopia and Thesime (and taking the time to recalculate my fores), The President of Koffe has made an official announcement. We has been officially declared on the nations of Natopia and Thesime. Any USSR troops under RedCommunist leadership in KoS, shall be treaed as peacekeepers. Any nations firing on these troops shall be taken as a decalration of war against Koffee.

Preliminary troops have landed in Onizuka and KoS, with more on their way. Koffee has called in their draft for the first time in many years. New figures have emerged. We plan to have a 300,000 troops in both KoS and Onizuka by morning, and 1 million in each by the next day.

Koffee troops are mounting on their borders preparing for a strike.

The official Koffee military stats are:
115 million ground forces
14 million mechanized forces
38,777 nuclear weapons
20 technology rating

Soon to be drafted:
82 million ground troops
8 million mechanized

EDIT: As for Theisime's world ranking. I was something like 74th. As far as militaries throughout the world go, it's really not a huge gap.

While the Federation of Lorpia agrees with The Great Thesisme on the issue of USSR troops on North Alerican soil, an issue which seems to be ending now that KoS is recalling his request, we must protest Thesismian support of Natopia.

The newly renamed "Holy Empire of Natopia" has just experienced a spate of political infighting that amounts to a civil war. With the aid of this dark alliance with the NACIA, the Natopian Imperial Party seized control of the Natopian governement, usurping those rightfully in power. Having done this, Natopia has begun abusing its power, implementing measures in the North Alerican legal system that had not been voted upon by the nations of North Alerica and therefore must be considered illegal. Natopia then, rather than abiding by the democratic process and reasoning with those nations opposed to the Acts, began a hostile military invasion of another North Alerican nation. Thesisme, I plead with you to realize that you are being used by an evil power to achieve an evil end, I beg you to reconsider your actions. Help us put an end to this before our region is completely devastated.



EDIT:
Also, of note to my fellow anti-Natopia allies, I'd like to point out that Natopia and his lackeys are drawing some military support from The Swiss Guards. This presents them with a couple disadvantages, having attempted to use their services before, one must realize that that nation is easily bought off for another end. Secondly, Lorpia Enterprises designed and helped in the manufacture of a large portion of that nation's military, I would be able to provide information about the exact capabilites of The Guards and their weapons, which may help in the formation of a strategy.

"Known Allies Team: Onizuka, KoS, Exiles, Alerica, Koffee, Lorpius Prime, Endo (sp? its Onizuka's Moscowy nation) and Neo Aureus."


:?:

I havent joined either side yet. Yes, I agree KoS shouldnt have allowed foreign troops onto NA soil, but I really dont think its that big an issue, its not like the entire USSR military was there, or that they were attempting to use KoS as a staging ground to invade the rest of North Alerica. It would be suicide. We're in a number of alliances, the USSR would be crazy to attack us.

I ask that all nations cease hostilites, and I also ask that all nations in NA send representatives to New Lexington, the capitol of Alerica, to hold an emergency meeting and attempt to turn this war off. For North Alericans to fight each other.......its ridiculous. Do tens of thousands, maybe more, really need to die over such a small issue? I think not. Think of the consequences this will have on all nations, and our region, if we allow this silly war to continue. We Alericans have stood side by side through thick and thin, to throw that all away over something like this is absurd.

I expect all foreign peacekeepers to be out of North Alerican territory by tomorrow.

Please end this war.

I have to agree. I would like to see this war end. Keep in mind that Natopia is the one who declarede war on us and it is Natopia who is invading us. We are just defending ourselves (and doing quite well I must say). I cannot stop unless Natopia stops. I will stop immediately after he stops. Otherwise if I stop and he doesn't he will take my nation over and destroy it.

At 7:00AM this morning, the President along with his staff have decided to support North Alercia in this conflict...

Already, five Rapid Deployment Divisions, a total of 65,000 troops, have been parachuted into Natopia to help push back the USSR military. They are supported by 240 Mi-24K Hind Attack Helicopters, 120 Harrier Jump Jets, and 36 F-15E Strike Eagles.

In addition, three Armored Divisions have been deployed on the North Alercia border... They each consists of 200 German Lynx MBT, 150 M1A3 MBT, and 100 155mm Assault Guns... Each division is supported by two Infantry Regiments of 4000 men each.

The 3rd Mechanized Corp is being organized in the border city of Langui... It will be sent into Natopia territory as soon as has been organized.

In addition, 120 F-15E Strike Eagles, 96 MiG-29 Flankers, 36 F-4F Phantoms, 48 Royal Tornado, and 72 F-22C Sky Raptors have been organized into the 36th Air Force and have been sent to bases along the North Alercia border.

Full Mobilization has not occurred yet, but will occur very soon...

The Empire would thank to thank you for your support Cvillized nations. This will be a difficult war ahead, but I bring great news! KoS has surrendered! The USSR forces have been expelled from his territory and Natopia is leadings its forces and the forces of its Allies out of there now. They are heading to help the half of the main force angled at defending against Onizuka's previously mentioned strike force.

USSR Peacekeepers are pulling out of KoS and Onizuka36 to try to bring peace in. If North Alerican forces pull more in they will be redeployed into the region, and if they are attacked we have the right to defend ourselfs, the person who asked us to come into their nation.



OOC: Again I must state follow real life international and national rules of war, peace, and so on.

OOC: You guys suck at RP'ing! I mean DAMN!

have been parachuted into Natopia to help push back the USSR military.

We were never in Natopia, but in KoS and Oniz36. Also you can not Rp defeating us without giving our PEACEKEEPERS, not USSR military, a chance to fight back. Bad RP'ing #1.

The USSR forces have been expelled from his territory

Ah I have to say we have left, same thing as before, you can't do two movements and end it without giving me a move between those two. Please RP better in the future.

Onto another quote:

its not like the entire USSR military was there, or that they were attempting to use KoS as a staging ground to invade the rest of North Alerica. It would be suicide. We're in a number of alliances, the USSR would be crazy to attack us.

It is not the USSR Military, it is my peacekeepers and diplomats. Also an attack on NA is not crazy, we are in the same amount, if not more allliances then North Alerica, and the USSR is larger as it is. Again I will say a well place nuke would make it all releveant, but nuclear war is never the answer.

OOC: Thats just a mistake on his part as to the location of your troops. Cut him some slack. He also never said he did defeat you, he just said his troops had arrived to help defeat you. Meaning they will try too.

The USSR forces have been expelled from his territory

Ah I have to say we have left, same thing as before, you can't do two movements and end it without giving me a move between those two. Please RP better in the future.

OOC: That was in-character PR. Of course the Empire or its Allies will credit it to themselves. Their snotty like that. We all fully know The Empire and its Allies never engaged USSR personel.

Again I will say a well place nuke would make it all releveant, but nuclear war is never the answer.

OOC: It would take more then one nuke to destroy all of NA and lets not get into bravado war about regional alliances by puffing out our chests on a forum piece meant for the specific conflict in North Alerica.

OOC: Back to the game at hand!

Grendels has sent in forces to back our military consisting of 10 fully supported Mechanized Divisions, a Naval Battle Fleet, 10 Squadrons of Super Bugears, and a contingent of our Special Forces Kill Packs.

Again I will say a well place nuke would make it all [ir]releveant...

The Great Thesisme is not, nor ever shall be, deterred by the often-repeated USSR threats of a nuclear strike. The Great Thesisme reiterates The Great Thesisme's demands as the Military Advisor of North Alerica that all USSR forces, or "peacekeepers," be removed from North Alerica, as they pose a threat to regional security.

~The Great Thesisme

This is the Neroland Military Forces speaking.

We would like to assist the allies in this war.
Here is our current availible military:

10,000 Troops
200 APCs
50 M1A1 Tanks
20 Longbow Attack Helecopters
10 MiGs
50 Supply Vehicals
15 Long Range Artillery Pieces
5 B-52 Bombers
20 Heavy Artillery Pieces
50 Anti-air Half-tracks

1 Battleship NMF Materex
3 Cruisers
3 Anti-air Cruisers
1 Carrier NMF Wilka

Hmm... well?

To whom? Also there is "no" war really.

The Great Thesisme is not, nor ever shall be, deterred by the often-repeated USSR threats of a nuclear strike.

*OOC: Ok everyone read this? Did I say one thing talking about TGT? Everyone one knows one rule of my RP'ing is no nuclear weapons, hence my threats arn't threats, they are obersvations. If some crazy Iraq got a nuke and set it off at a U.S. Military camp cluster alot of men would die, and the U.S. war effort hurt, it is just an observation, get over yourself, not everyone talks about you TGT.*


that all USSR forces, or "peacekeepers," be removed from North Alerica, as they pose a threat to regional security.

Man this is funny...just shows how ignorant people can be due to blind fear or unacceptance of others.
It is not USSR forces, it is USSR Diplomat's Peacekeepers. Many USSR nations have asked to send in troops, but since I was the only one asked I am not allowing it. Also you said my peacekeepers are a threat. I mean how stupid can you get! peace=the lack of war, keepers=people who enforce or withhold a issue, object, or person. Ok now put it together, PeaceKeepers=People who keep the peace.
Now how is that a threat to the region? Thinking out loud, USSR and NA are on each other borders, the USSR is no more a threat then it was before, it is now less since they are PEACEKEEPERS.


OOC: Thats just a mistake on his part as to the location of your troops. Cut him some slack. He also never said he did defeat you, he just said his troops had arrived to help defeat you. Meaning they will try too.


So....he is still attacking peacekeepers, lets see thats, if something didn't happen, 6 International Laws North Alerica has broken in the past two and a half days. GG there, Iraq couldn't even do this...

OOC: Are we allowing puppets?

Neo Aureus troops ready for action, carriers are serviced and are ready to transport their cargo, and millions of military personnel scramble in preparing for war. Neo Aureus will not stand for an invasion, and we will fight to protect its homeland at any cost.

OOC: Invasion from whom?

OOC: Invasion from whom?

no one... yet. We are just preparing, since we are on the allied side, we are a logical target of Natopia and his gang.

Ah your against Nat. I am currently using peacekeepers in the region to try to stop invasions. I am willing to do so as a protective peacekeepers, not as deturant peacekeepers as such in KoS.

Also I have noticed this:
The Great Thesisme is confirming Natopia's reports that The Great Thesisme has sent reinforcments to assist Natopian soldiers in KoS and to assist Agent Valor's forces in Onizuka. The Great Thesisme is also outraged at the treasonous acts by there North Alerican nations... Allowing USSR forces onto Alerican soil is unthinkable. Additionally, The Great Thesisme reminds the nations of North Alerica that Natopia was elected to his position, and his decrees are binding.

I feel TGT is only in this for he is anti-USSR, no other reason. If the USSR was handing out candy to people, he would be against it. I ask him to not do war just cause he has a grudge on past problems.

Sorry about being away so long. I had to be transported to a safe location to make sure that I would be safe from attacks since my nation is apperntly a target. I'l even tell you where my headquarters are at. I am now within Animetown. I am in my great nation of Japan36. You can't get me of course since the borders of Animetown are closed to all nations that are not big fans of anime. You would really have to know your anime to get in. I TEST ALL PEOPLE BEFORE THEY CAN ENTER! At the moment though I will not let ANYBODY in because we are in a state of war. Onizuka36 is fully prepared and ready for anything that may be coming their way. Currently assembled inside my nation is a force of 500,000,000 troops. This is a combined force of my nations and Animetown. I still unfortunately have 110,000,000 troops that are away in other parts of the world and 50,000,000 troops that are inside KoS preparing to engage Nat, TGT, and company. That leaves 50,000,000 troops that still need to be deployed. I'm not sure where to put them. If the situation in KoS becomes difficult I will send in the 50,000,000 troops to KoS.

I'm still hoping Natopia and/or TGT will come to their senses and will join us in peace talks. I'm grateful that Foil has volenteered to host these peace talks. Foil would be a great place to hold these peace talks. The USSR peacekeepers (not military) are still inside my nation and are allowed to stay. You have no right to kick out these peacekeepers and/or attack them as you guys are doing. This is against international law and cannot be allowed. If we can get these peacetalks started I would also like the USSR diplomats to attend. I really do not see why they cannot. Don't worry about anything though. It's not like if we vote on some kind of change in North Alerica they get to vote on it. They are diplomats and can offer advice and participate in the discussion. They can of course vote on new international bills that involves them though. I think that makes sense.

The post by Maxton was suppose to be from Alerica...........for some reason I was logged in as Maxton.


Now, can someone make a list showing what nations are on what side?


Leave Alerica off, we're still neutral, for now...

The Empire of Natopia will never accept peace with the rebellious states until they accept the Census Act and remove any USSR prescence in their nations!


In actual war news: Natopian forces have been fading back away from Onizukan forces near Onizukan territory until they can re-group with the main front. Natopian forces in KoS are withdrawing completly from the nation and are burning all buildings and killing all people of the nation of KoS that they can find on their way out. Let this be a lesson to those who oppose the Empire.

International Law Violations and War Crimes:
The Holy Empire of Natopia
The United States of Alerica
The Republic of The Great Thesisme

These nations shall be handled by the world community.

Leave Alerica off, we're still neutral, for now...

If your neutral you don't attack, nor kick out PeaceKeepers and diplomats. That is a sign of hostilities against the PeaceKeepers, the nation and region they represent, and the nation they are defending.

I don't think there are two clear sides. I am at war with Thesime and Natopia. I have threatend war with any who instigate attack on RC Peacekeepers. I am allied with Onizuka and Grendels.

In Moscowy: Paradisia has been invaded by RedGermany. Paradisia was caught completely unaware and is loosing ground rapidly.

Paradisia is a minor theatre in this war and not sponsered by Natopia itself. Nor the Great Thesisme as far as I can tell. This is a rouge nation grabbing land and power.

4 minutes ago The Allied States of Moscowy Today: Weapons have exploded across all of the nation Moscowy today. In all the corporations for Leafeye in Moscowy hidden bombs have been detonated devastating and blasting city parts around them in a wave of destruction and death.

The worst came at the capitol building, where a nuclear blast occured whiped out most of the nations leadership. Tens of thousands are dead.

We call on the USSR peace keepers to come from Onizuka and directly to Moscowy. Without delay and with all manpower.

Our peacekeepers would not be large enough to help civilians and defend the nation. RedCommunist peacekeepers are currently in the capital city of Moscowy as a first wave relief effort. The RedCommunist Military is also being pulled in to help other major cities, help outlying towns get to the correct shelter, and be a first defense against leafeye. The first Division is already there, and the 4th Air Corp, but 12 more divisions are on their way, armored, artillery, and infantry.

I reject the post of Natopia that reads thusly "burning all buildings and killing all people of the nation of KoS" as it is completely improbable that the forces would obey such an order. even if governments change, the people of the nation would not, and if anything I believe your order to the soldiers to do that would start a rebellion against you.

First off- the soldiers would have low morale fighting against a NEUTRAL country with only a diplomat's meager forces defending it, and then to know that they may even be fighting other allies... Their morale from all this would be so low as to completely reject orders.

Secondly- you being in the UN, I highly doubt it is permissable in any respect to do such slaughter, and I imagine 75% of the people in the government of Natopia (whether or not a dictatorship) would revolt.


I would highly suggest that you change your current track and stick to making sense even if the government that took over is a dictatorship and somehow has lost all sense of humanity, another highly improbable thing.






I therefore wish to call a vote if Natopia does not recind the improbable situation of such a nation telling its troops to slaughter non-combatants in an allied nation. This vote would determine whether or not the post will be ignored or accepted.

I own KoS. and The Blu Dragon. and The CnC World. the latter 2 both have massive armies and populations. well the cnc world is smaller than the blu dragon, but still. a grand total of I think 2.5 or 3 billion in all my nations. not much technically, but enough.

OOC: grr... puppet nations are the devil :evil: Make the war a little less complicated and keep it to one nation per, shall we?

16 Neo Aureus Carriers and their fleets
(one fleet =
2 Aircraft Carriers (Constitution Class)
4 Missile Cruisers
4 Arleigh-Burke Class Destroyers
5 Battleships
2 Fast Combat Support Ships)
Leave the docks, headed for 2 undisclosed locations. C-5's and troop transports are mobilized, sending troops to ready positions at the borders of the country, where they can quickly be sent off to fight.

May it be known that if i did take all my soldiers out of my country, opposition from the citizens would be a factor in invasion. ALL citizens are required to have one semi-automatic weapon stowed or concealed, making my entire nation one giant anti-invasion force. I wouldn't try it if I were you; unless you have one billion troops with uber-armor (which, when RP'ed correctly, would still lose since it would take forever for them to land on my territory, giving my citizens plenty of time to pluck them one by one)

When asked about the deployment, Neo Aureus's president had this to say:
"Our world is at war, and we must not isolate ourselves from it. Let us help end the war swiftly and justly, so that we can further our lives in peace. Evil shall not prevail, and the axis shall fall as it did many times before."

Would it be a bad thing to consider peace talks at the moment? It doesn't do the world any good to have a bunch of nuclear weapons annihilate some major metropolitan areas. I think that all nations involved in this conflict should sit down and consider the issues. It is not worth the deaths of millions of people.

International Law Violations and War Crimes:
The Holy Empire of Natopia
The United States of Alerica
The Republic of The Great Thesisme

These nations shall be handled by the world community.

What war crimes? Natopia I can understand, but Alerica and Thesisme? What have they done? Any attempt to apprehend or prosecute citizens from either Alerica or Thesisme will be met with defensive force.

OOC: And RC, quit whining on the RP rules, you did not set them, nor will you be allowed to, get over it or get out.

The Great Thesisme's forces have been ordered to halt their advance and take up defensive positions. If Alerica's decree concerning the removal of foreign peacekeepers is heeded, The Great Thesisme shall attend the peace talks at Foil. On to other matters...

You have no right to kick out these peacekeepers and/or attack them as you guys are doing. This is against international law and cannot be allowed.

On the contrary, it is exactly The Great Thesisme's right to remove these foreign soldiers from Alerica soil. The Great Thesisme's duty is to preserve the regional security from foreign military aggression, and it is The Great Thesisme's view that the alleged peacekeepers are a threat. As stated prior, The Great Thesisme does not abide by international law or United Nations Resolutions. The Great Thesisme abides by North Alerican law.

International Law Violations and War Crimes:
The Holy Empire of Natopia
The United States of Alerica
The Republic of The Great Thesisme

These nations shall be handled by the world community.
The Great Thesisme reiterates The Great Thesisme's stance concerning so-called international law. The Great Thesisme believes these laws are being fabricated at the whim of the USSR leader RedCommunist. The Great Thesisme has also received no complaint from "the world community." This matter does not concern you, communist dog. Get out.

~The Great Thesisme

As a Captain tasked with leading out several Kill Packs, Jackabaar had his hands full. After attending his orders group well behind the front lines, where a hundred thousand Gnoll soldiers where dug in, he got down to business. When he returned he went immediately to his Communications Specialist and had him create a mud map of the grid they were to operate in and the route of travel. He then gave orders to his Senior Sergeant to get issued the special equipment that they would need. Satisfied that things were in good hands the Captain then went to his tent to check and recheck all of his navigation, to ensure that his orders met with the standard of excellence expected by Special Forces.

Half an hour later, the other twenty-one other members of his detail gathered in a knot of bodies around him to receive their orders. His second in command had some coffee brewing for his return and its aroma had guided him to them. It was a simple mission, a long-range patrol to set up a small patrol hide, to operate regular patrols well ahead of their lines. Four, Four Soldier Kill Packs, Four Snipers, and a Communications Specialist all regarded him with their note pads ready to receive their orders. He gave them a standard textbook orders: grid references, compass bearings and distances, timings, call signs, passwords, and actions at varied points. It was daytime and he made good use of the two mud maps that were created with different colours of string and shaped ground. Jackabaar smiled, realizing that his signaler would have put most College Art Students to shame with his creation. Special equipment was confirmed and tested. Rations and ammo was discussed. A few questions were asked to clarify points that one or another thought critical and then the Captain began asking questions of his own until he was satisfied that everyone knew the orders as well as he did. Then it was done. With orders completed the mud map was destroyed and all notes regarding the mission were burnt in the same tiny fire used to make coffee. They went out and test fired their weapons, all at the same time, to ensure the reliability of their weapons and all at once so no one would know how many had fired.

The Grendel Special Forces group waited till the Sun was low in the sky, before loading up into two Infantry Fighting Vehicles, Sabre7’s made by the Grendel Motor Company. Those who could try to get some sleep as the vehicles began the long drive to the front lines. They went down one of the Koffee country roads, which were kept clear to allow supplies and rapid reaction forces to drive to the front. The Grendel Expeditionary Forces weren’t particularly concerned about enemy columns using them to drive through their lines as they’d have to bust through their front to access them and once on them they’d face a withering fire from either flank. Any attempts to do so would have been little more than target practice.

The Captain was up in the turret, getting some air and familiarizing himself with his surroundings. First he came across artillery batteries, which no doubt had their EMP shells handy in case any of their positions were overrun. One Limited Electromagnetic Pulse ground impact would pretty much instantaneously fry every chip and circuit within 100 yards of the shell landing. Comms would go down for both sides and any Mechanized Forces or automated systems would fail. It might be bad for the defenders, but for the surprised attackers it would be even worse, not have drilled for just such situations. Rapid Reaction Forces of Gnolls and Armour were always poised to come sweeping in to retake any such lost positions. No doubt the Artillery would have already logged in their killing zones into their guns for quick targeting as well as where to drop in final protective fire onto Grendel dug in positions to the front.

Captain Jackabaar also took in the Rapid Reaction Force they passed by, resting in their battle harnesses and ready to deploy on a moment’s notice. The Reserve Units put these troops on shifts of readiness to maintain their alertness. It got dark as the two Sabre7 Infantry Fighting Vehicles got closer to the front lines. Gnolls were still digging in all across the lines, ever-improving their defenses as they were given time to do so, as their lives might well be decided by their shovels as much as by their assault rifles. They got five minutes to stop warning to get ready and then the armoured troop carriers came to a slow stop, with the troops inside all piling out to allow their transports to return back to the Battalion Patrol Base. The soldiers filed out with their kits and took up positions along one side of the road in their marching order. The Senior Sergeant came from the rear of the formation, inspecting his troops with his 4th generation NVG’s and then reported to the Captain that they were ready to continue. After a brief listening halt, a signal was sent down the line and they got up to begin the march to the front lines.

A Guide from the forward Company of Grendel Mechanized Infantry met them. He was briefed on their coming, but was in no way told of their mission, except that they would not be returning back through their lines again. The Guide gave them a quick briefing on the way through their lines and ensured that they were aware of the Wire Party to their front, who was constructing a barrier of razor wire. The Guide also made sure that they were aware of a group of Engineers setting up mines and trip flares to their front, as well as the several Observation Posts set up well ahead of their lines. After the briefing the Guide began silently leading them through their position, where they were quietly challenged several times by sentries, and those who did not challenge them knew the Guide by scent. They briefly stopped by at a dug in machine gun position at the flank of the Company, where the Guide made arrangements to cover them in case there was any engagement with the enemy in front of their position. Then after another listening halt, the Guide led them forward at the edge of the tree line, where the darkness would still cover them but without making unnecessary noise moving through the trees. Once at the Wire Entanglement, they crawled through the secret zigzag corridor in single file before bidding goodbye to their Guide.

The Gnolls moved carefully forward, with teams of soldiers moving out ahead and on their flanks. The four Snipers, each with enhanced ocular implants, moved like ghosts in their wake. They moved surprisingly fast for their stealth, which clearly marked them as Special Forces. No words were spoken, but hand signals were often being sent back and forth to communicate. They finally got into their Patrol Hide by 0500hrs, where they would lay low until darkness of the following night, when patrols would begin in earnest. During the day, the four Snipers would go out and have a look around though, hoping to find some enemy patrol or hapless straggler. Here in the border country of the Democratic States of Koffee, the civilians had been evacuated to keep them from being massacred by the Natopian Troops, as it seemed was their habit. The Special Forces felt certain contempt towards such humans as these. Humans whose idea of soldiering was burning buildings and butchering civilians could hardly be considered true warriors.

He’d also heard claims of Nations launching attacks with hundreds of millions of troops, which he had a hard time not laughing at. Even if a Nation could arm and point that many troops in one direction at once, there was no way that they could support them with logistics. Unless they were cannibals and their vehicles magically did not require fuel, they wouldn’t even get to their own borders before soon discovering the error of their ways. Funnier still would be the satellite photos of such formations trying to move at all. There was just no way to move groups that large without them all getting in each other’s way. The mass chaos that would ensue would be worthy of a comedy. Obviously these laughable claims being brandished about were meant to frighten each other into submission. The Grendels had quickly mobilized ten divisions and troops were still arriving in Koffee. Mobile airstrips had been put into place and the Engineers were working around the clock to get their defenses readied.

There is nothing wrong with me having so many troops. I have 20 nations and they are all have effrective militaries that are armed and fighting as we speak. They are currently pushing back Natopian and TGT's forces. It is difficult of course but we are hoping that we can get them totally out of KoS. Onizuka36 itself has been doing well since it is heavily guarded.

Now Grendals knows how to RP!

OOC: LP and TGT wouldn't it help to read? I already stated I have left NA...geeze you people really need to relax and go along with the punches. So if oyu don't go by international law, that means I don't half to, and that means I can capture a city and kill every person in it and not feel guilty...explain if I should be handled with or not.

IN:
News Reporter: In our top story; six of the 12 promised RedCommunist divisions have landed today in Moscowy after nuclear explosions ripped though the nation two days ago. RedCommunist PeaceKeepers are already in the capital city leading relief efforts. The new six divisions have been flown to the other six major cities in Moscowy to lead relief efforts there. This happens in a great...*whispers*Hey get me and the President.*/whispers*...Mr. President! Mr. President! May I ask you a few questions?
President: Yes son, ask what you need.
News Reporter: Is it true that you have pulled out of North Alerican nations to come here, or is that just to calm some nations against peace in the region?
President: We have completely removed all soldiers from North Alerican soil and they are now in the nation of Moscowy leading relief efforts.
News Reporter: How do you think this war will go?
President: I am positive that the USSR will beable to hold back Leafeye, and keep the nation of Moscowy free, and if needed we will push into RedGermany and Leafeye.
News Reporter: What do you think about the events in North Alerica, and how will it end in your opinion?
President: I am shocked that such an act has been done, but then again they are my friends and brothers so I give them all my support in getting rid of the dictator in power, Natopia. I hope that The Rector group will be in pwoer soon by North Alerican Coalition forces. I don't understand why it must come to this. Our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal. I aks for peace in the region and around the world. World peace, like community peace, does not require that each man love his neighbor -- it requires only that they live together with mutual tolerance, submitting their disputes to a just and peaceful settlement. Now if you excuse me I have to get to a meeting. Have a good day and make sure you get home ok son.
News Reporter: Thank you Mr. President. Wow powerful words from USSR and RedCommunist President Jon Vanik. He is right though, we are all the same and we need to find peace no matter if our differences are there. That's the news from the front, I will update you as more happens. Back to you Jake.
*End News Report*

holy crap! Grendels, that is the best RP I've seen in this thread yet!!

There is nothing wrong with me having so many troops. I have 20 nations and they are all have effrective militaries that are armed and fighting as we speak. They are currently pushing back Natopian and TGT's forces. It is difficult of course but we are hoping that we can get them totally out of KoS. Onizuka36 itself has been doing well since it is heavily guarded.

Play with one nation, not 20.

I already stated I have left NA

The Great Thesisme fails to see where this has been stated, but if it is true, The Great Thesisme is ready to attend peace talks at Foil.

~The Great Thesisme

As soon as Natopian forces, are fully out of KoS, Koffee shall send diplomats to FOIL for peacetalks.

The nation of Koffee thanks the Grendels Forces for their help. Your pressence is perhaps more powerful than your forces. We ask that you stay for the time being.

We would like it to be perfectly clear that RedCommunist declined on our offer for haven and never entered Koffee.

In Moscowy: I have received word that the leadership of Paradisia has surrendered full control to RedGermany in order to lessen the casulaties. May good grace be with their people and may we pay great respects to the mercy over pride, of The Paradisia President.

Looks like RedGermany is wants to meet my RedFist! If he takes one step into Moscowy I will go offensive and free the people of Paradisia.

"As soon as Natopian forces, are fully out of KoS, Koffee shall send diplomats to FOIL for peacetalks. "

That won't be to long from now then as Natopian forces were ordered to pull back and burn as they go. The Imperial Party wishes to add that the people of Natopia arn't quite what you think.

OOC: Gotta give a history lesson on Natopia it appears. Before Natopia moved to North Alerica (it had a population of 300 million when it did move into NA) it was a brutal Empire like that of Imperial Japan or the Austrian Empire from the 14th to late 15th centuries. Democracy, or even Republicansim are still new to its people as even though they had an official name change the nation has spent most of its time as a 'free' nation as a Corporate Police State. Its been kept quiet but there was alot of oppression in Natopia until recently, so these types of orders arn't exactly new to the Natopian army.

IC: The Imperial Party will agree to the peace confrences in Foil, but we do not suspect much to happen. The Imperial Party promises to issue a cease and desist order to all soldiers in the Natopian Army in the North Alerican Theatre until the Peace Confrences can be held.
The Imperial Party would also like to request that all attending nations meeting in Foil bring little to no personel with them and merely send heads of state and diplomats.

OOC: eh bump

News from the Moscowyian front: The Leafeye Exploratory Force today has entered the remnants of the once proud nation of Moscowy. The force has reportedly travelled 65 miles into Moscowyian territory before encountering any sign of life.
The Exploratory Force approached the force, a detachment of USSR peacekeepers. When the force attempted to confiscate the weaponry of the USSR Peace-Keepers the enemy force withdrew from the Exploratory force. When the Exploratory force attempted to arrest the Peace-Keepers the Peace-Keepers began to violently resist arrest. More as this develops!

An open letter from the Imperial Party of Natopia:

We have decided, in our great wisdom, to withdraw from the peace confrence. We belive that the participating nations merely wish to set a trap for the Leadership of the Great Natopian Empire and as such shall decline. It is the Empire's great belief that Foil is a spy for the nation of RedCommunist, and we shall not set foot upon his lands. Nothing will suffice for the Empire except for complete and unconditional surrender from any and all foes.

News Reporter: In the Moscowy theater of war things turned hostile today. Leafeye infantry attempted to capture RedCommunist PeaceKeepers today, shots were exchanged. The number of dead is unknown for Leafeye forces at this time but all thirty-six PeaceKeepers were killed in action. This marks the first time a USSR person was killed in combat since the USSR plane being shot down a few months ago, before that was the invasion by Germany. The small gap where Leafeye troops got in was to be defended by the 12th Mechanized Division, which was enroute to the spot at the time. RedCommunist PeaceKeepers are currently holding up the advancing regiment, and shots can be heard every so often. President Vanik is to be saying some words about this in a few moments. We are living in the mist of what seems the 4th USSR-NA war, hopefully it is the last. Oh here we go, patching in now.

President: Today troops dedicated to keeping the peace were attacked by hostile forces. I ask the international community to condem these attacks on peacekeepers. Why must we crave war in our time? We can land a man on the moon yet we still strive to shoot each other. Yes it is human nature, but is also human nature to want to live and survive. We will do everything and anything possible to protect Moscowy, RedCommunist, North Alerican, and USSR interest. Thank you and good night.

News Reporter: A very moving speech by President Vanik. Now to Tom to discuss this speech and what it might mean for our troops and the people at home. Tom.

RedCommunist 2nd and 3rd Divisions entered Fortis today under heavy fire. Furthest troops locations asking for any allied bombers to hit the east half of the city, heavy Leafeye troop development in that area. Several squads have already been taken out by mortar and artillery shells. One wounded soldier who spoke to me said it was the worse action he was every seen, and he was in the Tennessee War. More action from the front soon to come.

News Reporter: I am here at the command post of the 1st, 4th, and 5th Divisions who just marched into Felicitas less then an hour ago. From the looks of it there are not hostile troops. Mind you this is a rather large city, and most of it un-explored. This is the 2nd city to be taken by coalition forces in the invasion of Leafeye, and will not be the last. I believe there are 21 more cities in Leafeye. *Artillery is shot overhead* Yes, yes I believe thye have found some troops. Though it is still all quiet on the western front of the city. I must remind the viewers at home this is all live and children should not see this. Ok I am now leaving the command post where Sgt. Klaskia has said he will speak with us. Sgt. how do you feel about the lack of enemies in such a large valuable city?

Sgt.: I am worried to tell you the truth. I am hearing they are having heavy fighting over in Fortis but still have mixed feelings on it. I would like to say hello to my new wife back at home, Hi sweety, and my folks. Mom, Dad I miss you. I really am happy to be apart of a liberation force of this war, great people in Moscowy. I would like *Gun shots heard* Oh shi..Hey Jack get that gun over here, form up squad, that was from the*gun shots*ahh. *body falls*

News Reporter: Crap! They are surrounding us. I am in a doorway now, hey Jimmy get this on camera, and Leafeye troops ambushed us. Oh man I am scared! *gun shots all over, screams* It is hand to hand fighting all over. Ok I am going to run over to the next house. *Runs, gunshots* That almost hit me, several men are down here, many wounded. I can't really see, smoke is all over. the air is thick with blood and...and...

Soldier: Dammit! We need help! Reenforcements ASAP! They have taken out half the city forces, we are pulling back. Repeat to all RedCommunist forces in Felicitas, we are pulling out, fall back, FALL BACK!*Artillery is heard incoming*

*Camera goes to static*

The requested bomber contingent has been denied, on the basis that the risk of civilian casualties are far too great. However, a gunboat platoon is being dispatched to the area to provide air support.

RCN: Brad! Brad you there? Someone get people there now! Oh we are on. In other news in the war Lorpia helicopters never made it to Fortis resulting in several RCA soldier deaths. President Vanik has made a public outcry at the lack of support from his coalition members.

In similar news; President Vanik has activated two more divisions and are enroute to Romma, capital of Leafeye. These will be the first allied ground forces inside the capital since the war started.

The Holy Empire of Provast said on the Moscowy Message-Board:

The end For Leafeye is soon to come the Allies know it and so does the People of Leafeye their Morale is breaking, The Provast Generale snever miss an opertunity and certanily not this one, to finally end this The Provast Military Command instructed all Allied bombers to make the main attack, Lorpian and Provast Bombers carpet bombed their capital city in huge attack that is leaving the city in a huge fire ball, Provast Fighters armed with Air to serfice missiles have also been sent to cover the Red Armies soldiers. As soon as the bombing on the capital of Leafey ended Provast Generales made a bold move to end the war. The 43rd airborne landed behind the capital city, as The main attack force bypassed the outer cities leaving them to Lorpian, Red Army and Natopian Forces. They quikely moved on the Capital. The 10th mountain Division made a close envelopement attack on the left flank of the city as the 11th and 2nd armoured divisions blitzcrieged for the center of capital supported by the 25th and 34th infintry Divisions. This atack will not come easy and officers from the field report heavy causaltys

Not possible. The helicopters were dispatched immediately, and we remain in contact with them, they report target destroyed.

As for the bombing of the capital city, that act was never authorized by the Lorpian High Command and should not have happened. Interestingly, all of our bombers are accounted for, none have gone anywhere near the capital. We cannot be held responsible for any undue innocent lives that were lost.

An investigation into these matters will be initiated.

*Live video feed of the Rector of the Natopian Exiles giving a speech in Moscowyian territory from a podium constructed outside of the capital city, Romma*

“My gathered people in Exile, and our International Audience, you cannot not know how it has grieved my heart to see these latest string of battles across both North Alerica and Moscowy. You cannot know how it rips at my soul and haunts my mind to know that I allowed this. Yes I’ll admit it, through my own in-action I allowed these events to happen. I should’ve seen the threat of the Imperial Party and removed it long ago, but now it appears that we shall all pay a price for my foolishness.”

*a low roar is heard in the background, like an engine being pushed to its limits*

“As I stand here and survey the wreckage of Moscowy I know that we cannot lose this war…”

*the roar begins to grow louder as if it is getting closer, a helicopter gun-ship can be seen approaching from the distance*

“We cannot lose because the fate of too much hangs in the balance! If we fail then North Alerica will fall into an Iron Fist that it shall never escape from!”

*the noise becomes deafening, as the gun-ship nears the Rector a missile is launched with violent force into the ground in-front of the Rector’s podium. The resulting explosion showers the camera lens in dust and the screen turns to static*

The North Alerican Central Intelligence Agency reports that the Operations Directorate has succesfully carried out a surgical strike against a high-profile target. The Rector of the former Holy Republic of Natopia, since his fleeing of that nation has been a grave danger to North Alerican regional security. The NACIA proudly announces that, following this succesful operation, this threat has been neutralized. No longer will Rector Zeal be able to carry out his campaign of terror agains North Alerica and her allies. This is a proud day in NACIA and indeed all of North Alerican history.


Have a nice day.

William Tiller
Director, North Alerican Central Intelligence Agency

RCN: Ealier today the 6th and 7th divisions entered Romma. Many brave men where lost trying to enter the city. After a three and a half hour firefight RedCommunist 7th Division entered a bombed out Romma which looked similiar to Hiroshima in 1945 said one soldier. "The silence was making us go crazy, smoke was everywhere. If you heard a gunshot you felt like it was you who got shot. The mental effects of seeing and being there I feel are worse then the physical effects." One soldier said he had to dig through hands, arms, and guns to get to living civilians. Most civilians are being headed to RedCommunist, Lorpian, or Provast relief camps in friendly areas till the city is rebuilt. There is heavy fighting on the southern part of the city, which is nearing the Provast line, seems like the bombers missed the southern part of the city where most of the Leafeye soldiers are. A rising death toll in the area to the RCA soldiers and PA soldiers. The capital has been taken and victory can be declared, but there are at least 10 more cities that still are deemed "controlled" by Leafeye Military Forces.

From the Acting Lord of Leafeye:

Leafeye would like to formally and unconditionally offer its surrender to the invading forces. We have lost so much in this war that we simply cannot continue further in prosecuting it. Our soldiers have been ordered to lay down their weapons, but our civillians still remain in hiding. Leafeye is now in the hands of a provincial authority controlled by the Exiles.

Signed,
Acting Lord of Leafeye

Note: You will not get a higher signature then this. When the Lord had heard the enemy entered the capital he took all his close aides and told them to retreat to his emergency bunker. He also took his family. He then secretly had the bunker's air supply changed to instead pump Sarin Gas into the room instead of normal oxygen. None made it out.

The Federation of Lorpia regrets to inform its allies that we must halt all military operations. Lorpian Military Intelligence has discovered something of a highly disturbing nature that requires we ground our entire military force until the matter is resolved. We hope that our allies understand, and we will do our best to aid them in carrying on the struggle without direct military support.

John Shrak
President, The Federation of Lorpia
Chairman, Lorpia Enterprises

President Vanik accepts the surrender of Leafeye, and military operations are halted due to the surrender and the asking of the president of Lorpia.

OK it is a great day for the people of Moscowy and the coalition forces. The people of Moscowy are free and Leafeye has been destroyed. The Provast Genrales exepted the suurender of the Laefeye forces in there ruined capital. There are piles of enemy weapons piled in the streets this was a quike war but a bloody one. The Capital of Romma is currently being occupied by the Provast troops in the south and Red army troops in the North. Provast Troops and aid workers quikely started looking for civilian survivors in the sounth sector but know the bombing in the north was much worse and will soon be moving there soon. With this The war with Laefeye is over but Martial law will still be obtained by Provast in Moscowy until the Allied states of Moscowy is fully in controle again. With this our eyes turn to Valor as we wait for there surrender. As for all other nations in Moscowy besides coalition forces Provast expects them to report to them on their stance on the issue and on their security in Moscowy. We would especially like to hear from Red Germany.

Peace Talks between RedGermany and RedCommunist have begun.

Double Post

Koffee condems NACIA and Natopia, on it's recent assasination of the peaceful rector. Koffee troops are now moving away from their borders. A full invasion of Natopia has begun! You will pay for your crimes against the citiziens of the world!

The nation of RedGermany and it's protected territories are quite secure. There is no cause for concern. There is no need for peace talks, RedGermany is not currently at war with anyone. We support and honor the forces within Moscowy for bringing a speedy end to a horrible war.

You invaded an innocent nation, Paradisia, and are currently occuping it. During this major war this is seen as part of it and you will have to leave Paradisia or face invasion by North Alerican and/or RedCommunist troops.

President reading from a paper on TV. Is that the end of a gun? Nah: People's of the world. We're all doing fine here. We love RedGermany, and the wonderful way our countrie's being run now. It is entirley of our own will that they have power here. No need to invade. We also think you should comply with the Census act. We're going to. Have a nice day.

Koffee troops made a full advance on Natopia's borders this afternoon. The fighting has been endless and little ground has been gained as the two armies, slaughter each other. We are sad to report at least 15,000 deaths already just on Koffee's side. No super weapons have been used yet. More as it unfolds.

Still his army was used to by Leafeye, and he is following Valor. He is an enemy to Moscowy, North Alerica, Natopian Exlies, and me.

The Swiss Guards III Corps, consisting of 1 Heavy Armored, 3 Mechanized Infantry, and 2 Armored Cavalry divisons is being aligned to defend the Holy Empire of Natopia. I and II Corps are being recalled from their respective assignments to intercept and engage Koffee forces at the border. We expect a quick defeat of the Koffee advance contingents, at which point the Guardsmen will move to push back the main body, and start the advance into the Koffee nation proper.

---Post deleted by NationStates Moderators---

Due to the recent, barborus acts of the People-N, Natopia's Island Capital of Sapientia will from this point on have its SAM sites on alert 24 hours a day. The 5th and 6th Naval Battle Groups, usually used to patrol Northern Natopia's sea border, are being pulled back to reinforce the 1st and 2nd Naval Battle Groups (OOC: a Natopian Battle Group is one Battleship, 3 Destroyers and 2 AEGIS-Style Cruisers), which are positioned to help defend the Capital Island. This is in addition to the Carrier Battle Group that is assigned to the Capital Island. Patrol flights will be run from the Carrier Ship, Ulciscor, to spot People bombers in the future.

On the front with Koffee: The border towns of Natopia are no longer descirnable as once having housed life according to Natopian reports. The un-ending trench war-fare being used by Koffee and Natopia has decimated the surronding landscape and resulted in at least 10,000 Natopian casualties so far. This is in addition to an estimated 30,000 civillians killed by off target Koffee and Natopian mortar attacks. 75,000 citizens have also fled the borderlands and have been trying to escape in Alerica as refugees.

Just when it looked like another dig and go Mission, things had begun to heat up in the conflict along the Natopia-Koffee Border. Sergeant Vaarloong, an elite soldier from his Battalion’s Recce Company, had made enough reports of increased enemy probing patrols to confirm the intelligence reports for himself. No doubt the Grendel Space Agency had at least six satellites overhead, perhaps more considering their level of commitment to the defence of Koffee. He’d heard from people who said that Star City regularly launched four spy satellites to monitor wars in which they weren’t even involved.

Certainly skirmishing activity of the Grendels had also increased. Special Forces Kill Packs not held in Reserve for special missions, where out well in advance of their lines, carrying out patrols and raids from their well hidden Platoon Hides. Grendel Snipers, sometimes operating in small groups or individually, would be out there too moving like spirits that haunted the borderlands between the two National Powers of North Alerica. Recce Patrols were constantly going out from the Grendel front lines: examining enemy positions; the viability of bridges and roads in the borderlands for future use in offensive operations; and determining enemy patrol activity in the borderlands. Fighting Patrols emerged just as readily laying ambushes at key passes or as a deadly screen in front of the Grendel’s Front against their enemy counterparts. Should fighting escalate further they would soon find themselves conducting unrelenting night raids against enemy positions to continually harass them and kidnap the odd communications specialist in standard snatch patrols. Even from among the Regular Soldiers manning the Front lines, there would be patrols of heavily armed troops sent out to clear their front: at dawn, at dusk, and whenever it was felt necessary to scour the perimeter in front of their lines. All Grendel Infantry were trained to patrol, which many considered their bread and butter of their work. If soldiers didn’t have the discipline to carry out successful patrols, it certainly left many unanswered questions about the rest of their training.

Tonight, they would be going out to contest some of the Borderland, where Natopian Patrols where known to operate, to observe enemy activity and destroy and targets of opportunity. The group led by Sergeant Vaarloong would be making part of their journey to their objective area mounted in a lone Sabre7 Infantry Fighting Vehicle. The Sabre7 would drive down a road, which was cleared of mines and in territory controlled by Grendel screening patrols. There was still an element of risk involved though, since they would operating in front of their own lines. If they did run into trouble, they would at least have the excellent support of the Infantry Fighting Vehicle, when they dismounted to fight. The eight Gnoll Patrol had already received its orders and conducted rehearsals, which included drilling for speed in the mounting and dismounting of their troop carrier. They had received all of their rations, ammo, and special equipment.

Now his Section was going about working on their individual camouflage of themselves, their kit, and their weapons. Their weapons were made of drab green gunmetal, instead of the customary black, which most Nations used. When you looked around the bush, you never did see a lot of black anything around you and it never made sense to the Sergeant why so many Nations persisted on such lunacy. While it was still green, it was still shaped like a gun, and the Sergeant ensured to wrap some burlap scrim around the stock parts of his assault weapon that wouldn’t interfere with its use. What marked them as perhaps the most alien from the human combatants of the North Alerica Civil War, was their use of special fur dyes to break up the patterns and change the colour of their fur, which while better than human skin still could be spotted amongst the brush. Since they were fighting humans and not a species with exceptional ability sense of smell, they made only a basic elimination of their own scent, instead of a detailed one. The Sergeant pulled on his webbing, loaded with ammo and little else, overtop of his special patrol suit, which had special cooling pads to keep the furry Gnolls from overheating and was coated with a material that partially defeated heat detector kit, that the enemy might be making use of. The material wasn’t completely fool proof against heat sensing though. After all a Gnoll still had to breathe.

The Sergeant then led his Patrol to the Loading Zone, where he was to link up with his ride. Vaarloong talked for a while with the Crew of the Infantry Fighting Vehicle, who were tasked as a taxi service for the Recce Company, and explained to him what was required of them. Once he was satisfied, he ordered his soldiers to down as much water as they could and have a meal before loading up. After a weapon test was performed, the soldiers quietly loaded up into the Infantry Fighting Vehicle in reverse marching order. The Sabre7 wasn’t made for excessive comfort, but being designed for off road mechanized assaults it was far more comfortable on the bumpy roads than any logistics truck would be. They drove blackout, without lights, slowly down what was referred to as the 4th Recce Road, where they were stopped on a few occasions by alert sentries who challenged them with passwords before removing their movable barricades.

The grins ended among the soldiers as soon as the Sabre7 made its way out beyond the Grendel Forward Edge of Battle. They were still protected by the dug in soldiers they were leaving behind, but the further they went from their lines the less this was true. A quiet professionalism settled over the Gnolls of Recce Company, as they did their best to remain relaxed but ready to react instantly. As they had rehearsed, the Infantry Fighting Vehicle stopped five times in the dark of the night, each for the same amount of time. At the third stop, the Patrol had silently disgorged from their Carrier and went into an all around defence in the prone position twenty meters in from the road. The Sabre7 made its final stop and then turned back around and headed back to the Grendel lines at a good speed, with their lack of headlights made up for the NVG’s worn by the Driver. After the rumble of the Infantry Fighting Vehicle was out of earshot, the Patrol waited for a five minute listening halt before picking up and moving out.

The Sergeant occasionally took out his compass to confirm their bearing and pulled down a green plastic bead on his webbing for every 100 meters he measured while he moved. He made the necessary calculations, knowing that his normal patrolling pace would be shortened while he moved at night. Ahead of him, on point, was an experienced Corporal wearing his NVG’s and with an automatic shotgun held in an alert carry, ready for quick use. Out here in the forests of the Borderlands, an automatic shotgun on point meant more than an assault rifle should they make an unsought contact to their front. The shells would be loaded with flachettes, the effects from which would allow the rest of the Patrol to peel back one after another, emptying their clips into what was left of any pursuing forces. The Corporal was connected to the Sergeant by a three-foot long bungee cord, which the Patrol leader used as reigns to direct the point Gnoll or get his attention.

Operating in enemy patrolled territory, they made a number of listening halts, hoping to hear any sign of enemy passage, while themselves remaining perfectly still and low to the ground. Patrolling in the wilds, a group of soldiers could be doomed by one careless step on a twig, let alone a group moving around the bush like a herd of pregnant yaks. His Master Recce instructor had always drilled into him that every Patrol Mission was won by one footfall at a time. When in uncertain ground, where he couldn’t tell if his footfall would yield a snapping twig, he often braced most of his weight on a tree while carefully testing where he would place his well-worn recce boot. As Sergeant Vaarloong listened acutely for any sign of the enemy, he occasionally heard signs of nocturnal wildlife, which he did his best not startle. A few times, he caught sight of a monkey, Koffee’s National Animal, moving through the branches of one tree or another.

He smelled the enemy long before he saw them. Sergeant Vaarloong gave a double tug on the bungee cord connecting him to the Gnoll on point who quietly went to a prone shooting position. The Sergeant passed down a hand signal to the others and they soon slipped into the cover of the brush and darkness, where they silently awaited their prey. After a few minutes they came, a human patrol of ten men making their way through the forest with a measure of stealth. As he had been trained to do, the Recce Leader emptied his mind of thoughts and tried his best to be just another part of the brush. Not being in a good ambush site, he would let this patrol go by, unless they were detected. Then he could lay an ambush for them when they returned. If they returned at all. The Patrol came very close to where they were hiding and for a moment the Sergeant was concerned that he would quickly find himself in hand to hand fighting. Indeed, Vaarloong’s heart nearly leapt out of his throat when one member of the enemy patrol stepped on the end of his rifle barrel. He braced for the moment of fury, but it never came. The enemy patrol continued on its way away from them. After five minutes had passed, the Sergeant got his patrol into an all around protective circle, with each man’s boot touching another, so that with a nudge they could communicate that they were moving out, which they did. Sergeant Vaarloong made his way down the trail left by the humans until he found the ambush site he was looking for. He then split his group into two groups. One group was to assault through the enemy and the other to support them from the flank. Sergeant Vaarloong would command the support element, while Lance Corporal Baaklash would lead the assault group. He whispered his quick orders to them for a basic ambush and then they took their positions and quietly waited for the return of the enemy.

The Sergeant heard them coming this time, with the enemy soldiers perhaps confident after their mission and less careful returning home, as was often the case. They walked in a single file through the forest and when they passed in front of the support group, the brush erupted in gunfire and screams. The assault group quickly opened up as well and began fighting their way forward through the chaos and death. Within a few seconds it was over and eight humans lay dead or dying on the forest floor. The assault group continued to move forward putting in a round in each body to ensure that they were dead and searching them for any intelligence. With the muzzle flashes now at a minimum the searchers had their NVG’s now turned on, while the support group covered them They took a radio, a few compasses, a map, a set of enemy NVG’s, and some notebooks. A getaway soldier was assigned the goods; under orders to get back to their lines should things get ugly. They didn’t take any ears though, as that would have told the enemy who killed them, and that wasn’t the way Recce Company operated. They delayed just long enough for one of them to set up a couple simple mines amongst the bodies and then quickly made their way from the area, before once more going into an all round defence to listen. The Patrol then got up and then took up a new bearing to hunt in their assigned area. One thing was for sure; Sergeant Vaarloong was going to be careful on his way back to their positions and certainly wasn’t going to be returning on the same route he came out on.

Field Marshal Daagar was in his command bunker in a secret location in Koffee, when it was confirmed that the reinforcements from the Borderlands of the Grendels had finally arrived. With the first ten divisions having already dug in along the border with Natopia, it was deemed safe to begin a buildup of troops and material behind their lines. Command quickly began scrambling to put their plans into motion to bring them into place behind the lines, as the second and third Carrier Fleets, along with air transport, now began disgorging the main body of 25 additional divisions of the Grendel Expeditionary Forces, as well as their Logistic Elements. As well as the jets attached to the carriers, six more squadrons of Super-Bugbear multi-role jets were brought in along with accompanying temporary airstrips.

bump. Don't forget the meeting at 7:30 breadbasket, 8:30 smelly water

The NAROM system has interdicted 2 more nuclear ballistic missiles. As before, both missiles appear to have been launched from seabound sources, and targeted at the Alerican capital of New Lexington. Fortunately, the NAROM system was succesful once again, stopping both in their tracks. The two missiles fell well short of their intended targets, actually touching ground inside of the Holy Empire of Natopia, enemy territory. However, this time, one of the missiles, estimated at about 5 megatons, detonated, though inside a relatively remote area of the nation, and few casualties are expected. These attacks are becoming even more disturbing, the launch times and flight patterns of the two missiles appeared to have been structured to take advantage of a flaw in the NAROM targeting software that was patched only hours before this strike. Once again, all available data is being transferred to North Alerican security representatives in the hopes that the attacker will be identified and appropriate measures will be taken.

North Alerican defense may have just taken a serious blow. One of the satellites comprising the North Alerican Regional Orbital Missile Defense System, or NAROM, has been destroyed. While the facts surrounding this are still unclear, it appears that a hostile attack satellite was responsible for the destruction. This creates a hole in the NAROM grid, which has a perfect kill record so far, and makes further missile interdiction less likely. As well, since the agent responsible for the attack has yet to be located, the rest of the system remains in danger. North Alerica may now face Ballistic Missile attacks undefended...

Desperate times call for desperate measures. It is unfortunate what we must now do, but necessary. Treason within this region has spread like a plague, and become near uncontrollable. But we must stop it before it leads to the destruction of the region. Therefore, per the terms of North Alerican Emergency Management Act, the NACIA hereby declares full control of all military organizations and forces that remain loyal to the North Alerican cause. This power shall be placed under central leadership to promote effective cooperation. We shall crush the rebellion swiftly, at which time we may finally hope for peace.

That is all.

Lorpian III and VII Army Corps, spearheaded by the 5th armored division, are commencing attacks upon allied forces in the United States of Alerica, the rapidly advancing column is not pausing to set up defensive positions, but merely will continue carving it's way through Alerican and allied forces until it reaches its target goal, New Lexington. At which point the objective is to demand the rebellion halt its treasonous activities, including making war upon the rightful government, and submit to the rule of law. Should diplomatic discussion fail, forces are ordered to raze the city and assume martial law and control over the surrounding area, and to maintain position until further reinforcements arrive to secure the full nation.

*RedCommunist donates 5,000 Veteran Soldiers and 2,500 T-90 tanks to Natopian Exlies.*

The Alerican people are shocked by the attack by a former ally. The Alerican government pledges that the response will be swift and effective.

With the meeting of the Alerican Powers over and no clear word, Koffee forces again begin to slowly make thier way further into Natopian terrirtory. They make little distance but it is clear of their invasion intentions again. They are now fully supported by the Koffee Ariforce. Often dog fights and the consequent crashes will be happening all around the ground fighting, making for cramped, disatrous situations. Koffee navy, small but extremely well equipped, has slowly begun to invade Natopian waters as well. Making little headway nor trying to go far into foreign territory. Their mission is to merely establish a buffer zone and to prevent sea invasions.

Due to the escalation of recent events both in scale and in complexity, The Great Thesisme shall be re-deploying its forces into defensive positions around the regional UN delegate Natopia, the regional founder Alerica, and The Great Thesisme as well. Additionally, a small unit was dispatched earlier today to occupy the nation of Foil. Recent intelligence gathered by The Great Thesisme indicates that Foil is a spy from the USSR.

~The Great Thesisme

Unleashing the Dogs of War,

Following the mass chemical warhead missile attacks launched against Natopia by the Republic of Kurdish Rebellion, the soldiers of the Borderlands of the Grendels will now be adopting a highly protective NBCD Posture (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical Defence). Our troops in the trenches and in depth will be in their protected NBCD suits and have their masks at hand. Our Tanks, Infantry Fighting Vehicles, and Scout Vehicles are also fitted with NBC Screens. Of course the troops currently patrolling the Borderlands will continue as usual, since wearing these on patrol just isn’t practical until after the nukes begin to rain down.

We are troubled that such a small Nation as Kurdish Rebellion would stir things up by launching a chemical attack and then stand behind its nuclear arsenal. As one of the dominant Super Powers of the Nation States World, we will not use these weapons first against our enemy, preferring to pursue conventional warfare, but if attacked with them we shall immediately retaliate in kind. We will continue to support the efforts of Koffee and their allies in their conflict with Natopia.


Yarooo, Gnoll Warleader and Dictator for Life

Borderlands of the Grendels

Due to the chemical attacks by the Kurdish Rebellion, Koffee troops inside Natopia were forced to retreat back into firmly held territory, and take time to equip themselves properly for such unexpected warfare. Our troops will continue their offensive as soon as they are able. We condemn such warfare, and request that it ceases imediatley. If such an attack were to happen again, we would have no choice but to take it as an attack on Koffee's troops and reply in force.

OOC: #1 don't play both sides. Alerica is against Natopia. Pick a side.
#2 Stop with this USSR bullshat, it is getting annoying. I really wish you would stop playing the game, because if one thing goes wrong its USSR, a USSR spy, a USSR military thing. STFU! I mean damn can't you relax and play the game. NA and USSR are working together now, trying to reach a common goal. I am helping put Nat Exiles back into power, which is good. NA and USSR have been and are at peace...we have been for awhile. If we ever ally I bet you sill keep up this Bullshat. Just stop!

Yes it was a long day and this just pushed me over.

OOC: Come on RC don't get so mad. You should expect it by now. With some nations in NA, hating you is part of their lifestyle. If they stopped balming you then they might have to look internally, and who knows what might happen then. :lol:

OOC: Still it is just annoying. I don't care if it is part of the game I find it offensive and just plan pointless. TGT had nothing to do with me before, nor does he now.

The Siege of New Lexington has begun. The III and VII Corps of the Lorpian Army have completed their advance and are encamped on the outskirts of the Alerican city of New Lexington. Though the rear elements of the advancing column took severe damage from TGT forces entering the theater, most of the assault reached the objective with little in the way of damage, though cannot now reasonably expect further reinforcements, which would have to break through the formidibable TGT lines.

General Kensington, the forces' leader, has issued the following statement to the Alerican government:

"We must demand that the United States of Alerica end this foolish rebellion and bring themselves fully in line with the with the North Alerican ruling council. Failure to do so will result in the ousting of the current, treasonous regime, to be replaced with a military government until such time as hostilities have ceased, and the return to civilian rule is feasible. We await your reply."

Unleashing the Dogs of War,

As part of our commitment to the defence of Koffee, another 20 fully supported divisions of the Grendel Expeditionary Forces are arriving as part of our continuing build up. While we may be conducting air strikes and making use of our Navy in support of our military operations, we will not be launching attacks upon the populace of Natopia, as there is no honour in slaying the defenceless and unless they are foolish enough to put themselves between us and our enemies, little point either.

The allies have won a small but important victory in the continuing battle for freedom. A few hours ago, a Joint Task Force of Exiled Natopian soldiers and marines formerly defending Lorpian Embassies dropped behind enemy lines into the hostile Federation of Lorpia. Striking at Lorpian Strategic Command, the JTF accomplished its objective with swift efficiency. Catching the StratCom security off guard, the JTF was able to secure the command and control codes for the NAROM system, destroy the Lorpian control center, and return to their extraction within a short two hour time-period. The soldiers were immediately evacuated to the Natopian Exiles city of Dator, housing a vital Allied intelligence complex. Here, Natopian and Lorpian technicians are dilligently working to bring the NAROM system once more under Allied control, and to defend our region once more from any ballistic missiles the enemy may attempt to destroy our cause with.

We will prevail.

25 minutes ago, The Grand Duchy of That is Western Front:
It was a wonderful day in the Natopian city of Sapientia, the best weather seen all week despite the distant sounds of bombing in the capital. A young sailor on the natopian battleship Astrum stantioned in Sapientia went out side for a smoke on this nice day. Has he stood relaxing he saw a wierd shade on the horizon facing the Alerican Border. At first he could not make out what it was he wondered and pondered, and then it hit him. It was the worst thing any sailor could face a sight more horrific than death it self. It was huge and powerful, It was the Combined Alerican and the Empire of Provasts fleet. Mounting 3 Provast and German super Battle Ships the best in the world, 2 Provast and German regular battle ships, 1 Provast Carrier and one Alerican Carrier, 8 Provast Destroyers, 5 Alerican Destroyers, 3 Provast Aegis class Cruisers, 2 Alerican Aegis Cruisers, 5 Provast Subs, and one hundred of what appeared to be Alerican coast gaurd vessels, the larger ones loaded with artilliary, the smaller ones with depth charges and sam missile batteries. This Fleet was created for one purpose the destruction of the Natopian Fleet. The youg sailor's eyes went red as his blood almost stopped flowing. He ran to his captain as quickly as possible. When the Captain saw the fleet he realized they had made good speed on his fleet but in 10 minutes he realized the fleet had stopped, stopped jsut in 18 inch gun range his largest battle ship had 16 inch gun range. Then he saw fire and screamed. The next thing the grand Natopian fleet of 4 battle ships, 14 destroyers, 16 Cruisers, 2 carriers, and 14 subs, realized was that they were being bambarded by 2 Provast German super battle ships, one with 10, 18 inch guns and the other 9, 20 inch guns. What was the captain to do if he sends his planes they risk being shot down by the battleships, cruisers, destroyers, and sam batteries. If he moves forward with his destroyers, battle ships, and cruisers half will be dead before they get a broadside in.


8 minutes ago, The Federation of Lorpia:
It was a wonderful day in the West Alerican Sea. Chief Petty Officer Morisson, currently manning a 5 inch gun on a Provast cruiser watched yet another small Natopian gunboat slip beneath the waves, succumbing to his shells. Scanning for more targets, his eyes caught upon something in the distance.

"Well I'll be damned," he spoke to his loader, "looks like we got another fleet coming in to help us scrap these ducks."

Indeed, another fleet was rapidly approaching, 3 carrier battle groups at least were just coming over the horizon, and Morisson could just begin to make out the specks that must be launching fighters. And all of them flying friendly flags...

"Oh, f***."

And it was only then did he realize that his superiors had made a fatal error in their planning. For the flags weren't friendly, not anymore. With 5 Lorpian Carrier Groups bearing down on the Allied fleet, all carrying full loads of fighters and support aircraft, and innumerable destroyers, cruisers, and frigates, the day wasn't looking so wonderful anymore...

5 minutes ago, The Holy Empire of Natopia:
Alexia, Empress in waiting of Imperial Natopia was not amused. Small bombing runs by day, and a large scale fleet invasion that night. Still, the Natopian Armed Forces were not without options. The plan was perfect in its simplicity: the Natopian bombers stationed on the Carriers Ulciscor and Incendium, in addition to the cities own Bomber squadrons, would fly first at the enemy boats. At the same time the AEGIS ships would pull in front of the Battleships and attempt to give them cover as they pulled closer to the Allied forces. In addition to this the Submarines would immediatly begin closing distance. Then the final part would enter, the land forces guarding the capital could launch 36 SCUD style missiles at the incoming enemy Naval force. Would the enemy go for the Bombers? Or the missiles? Or both? Already one AEGIS cruiser had been destroyed however and one Destroyer damaged. These were small casualties however, as the incoming Lorpius groups would give the battle to the Empire, if just by numbers alone.

:!: :!: Alerican War Update :!: :!:


The United States of Alerica refuses to give in to the demands of Lorpia. Five Alerican divisions have been called back from the Alerican-Natopian border, and are preparing a counter-attack against the hostile invaders. The Alerican Air Force continues heavy bombing of the Lorpian corps, the HyperSoar bomber being very effective. With 35% of the adult population owning guns, resistance is high in the areas occupied by Lorpian forces.

For the time being, Alerica will change back to its previous flag.
Long Live Alerica.

Finally, Koffee ground troops have made a serious advance. With areal fighting going on overheard almost constantly, Koffee Special forces moved in. Using recently acquired KoS "Socrates technology". A small group manged to sneak throught the lines during a night battle. The elite commandos bipassed some defences and warning devices to capture a Natopian supply station. They are now bunkered in to hold it. More special forces are being parachuted in to help defend the postition.

Meanwhile, the Koffee Navy may not be able to hold there position much longer against the Natopian battle fleet, luckily Natopia is spread in multiple places.

A description of "Socrates" provided by KoS: The final product of the research is a small, easly portable machine that emits waves that disrupt electromagnetic fields, disabling sensors and equipment. This happens chemically through various reactions, in some of which these waves are produced. Depending on the reaction, and the positions of the casing which blocks the waves, the direction, range, and area can be changed. The material which the casing is made of a hardened and specially formed type of pumous(I think thats how you spelit), the porous rock which is found around volcanic areas.

The Siege of New Lexington continues. Though at first suffering heavy losses from Alerican air forces, the Lorpian army is now mostly entrenched and safe from the continuing bombardment. With the USA's refusal to comply to terms, General Kensington has ordered recon elements sent to scout ahead of the main assault force. The skirmishers were repelled by armed New Lexington citizens and National Guardsmen. Lorpian forces have responded with blanket shelling that still continues, and the damage is visible, but no further advances of significant size have been made. First, the 2 dug-in Lorpian corps will have to fight a defensive action against the Alerican army that has been called in to break the siege. Defenses and a trench-network have sprung up in preparation for the battle to come, and with any luck, Lorpia will prevail and be freed to proceed with the suppression of Alerican resistance in New Lexington.

----------

The battle for the seas surrounding the island that constitutes the Natopian capital of Sapientia goes better. With the addition of 5 Lorpian carrier battle groups to the fray, the Natopian defense forces are doing well against the allied aggressors. Though one Lorpian carrier has been severely damaged by a submarine strike, it seems the attacking craft only managed to attack one target before being sunk by Lorpia's own submersibles and destroyers. Though the battle is far from over, with the attacking fleet enclosed by Imperial forces, victory is all but absolute. For now the only problem for our ships has been the large-caliber guns mounted by a handful of Provast super-battleships, which, though without the range or accuracy of the more advanced missile systems on Lorpian cruisers, travel significantly faster, and ship defenses have almost no ability to stop their flight. After a Lorpian missile-cruiser was lost to a single hit by one of these monstrosities, the carrier battle groups have withdrawn ought of range of the guns, and are focusing on swarms of aircraft and missiles to bring down the battleships, and though the concentrated attacks has noticeably hindered the function of one such craft, any actual kill has yet to be reported...

A weary reporter appeared on screens across the Internet, working on behalf of the World Internet News. Dressed in dirty fatigues and her hair an unwashed tangle, she delivers her report from the where the latest action has begun in North Alerica.

“This is Ginger Trails reporting from somewhere in the borderlands between Koffee and Natopia, with breaking news. Earlier today, the Borderlands of the Grendels stepped up operations against both Natopia and supporting forces from the Great Thesisme, to aid their allies Koffee in the current conflict. In the borderlands between Natopia and Koffee, there was an unprecedented level of fighting patrols launched by the Grendels, conducting raids all though the night on Natopian and Great Thesisme lines. The fighting patrols brought with them mortars and machine guns on these raids, to inflict as much damage and chaos as possible. Reports are that Grendel Snipers are stepping up their campaign of terror against the enemy, targeting specific specialists in an attempt to further disrupt the efficiency of their enemy’s military. Fighting went on all through the night, during which time the skies over the border region were filled with paraflares, casting their ghostly light across no-mans-land. We now go to Thomas Coventry, somewhere on the coast of Natopia.”

“Thanks Ginger,” replies an older man, no less haggard, but with a look of many cynical years stamped over his weather beaten features. “This is Thomas Coventry reporting from an undisclosed location on the Natopian coastline. Earlier this morning, it is believed that one of the Grendel Carrier Groups began operations against coastal defences, while a second Carrier Group was positioned to guard it from the remnants of the Natopian Navy. Missiles launched from Cruisers and attacking Super Bugbear multi-role jets struck at military targets along the coast in what appears to be a feeling out of the Natopian defences. During the night it was reported that several commando raids were launched against isolated positions, most likely by the Special Forces group known as Dog Paddle 1, which specialize in waterborne operations. A third Carrier fleet is protecting the Port City, where the Grendels seek to protect their supply lines, and a fourth Carrier Fleet is reported to be very near to being deployed in the Region. We now turn you over to Ulrich Doddler, a Military Analyst and best-selling author from Auravia, the once potent super power of Wysteria and neighbour of the Grendels, before the entire Nation mysteriously vanished overnight several months ago.”

“Da, zis is all very interesting,” began Ulrich Doddler sitting in a comfortable studio, regarding the camera with a smile. “Very interesting indeed. Ve are now confident vat ze Grendels will soon commit zer forces to an all out assault against ze enemy lines. Vat is not clear at zis moment is vether zis vill take za form of an amphibious landing on the Natopian coast or a ground assault from zeir positions in Koffee. It is possible zat zey vill attack from boz sides, but zis is not classic Grendel strategy, nor vise considering za forces zat oppose zem. Ze already have a large Army Group on za ground and reports are zat another Army Group vill be in za area anytime now. At sea ve see za Grendel Navy apparently taking zeir leisure in testing Natopian defences. Most of za real activity vil be going on below za Sea, vere za hunter-killer Submarines will be acting as a screen for za fleets, vile deep water submersibles deploy sensors on za ocean floor in places za Grendels deem important for future plans, to ensure enemy subs vill not be a deciding factor in future amphibious landings. Vatever happens is za coming days, von zing is very sure. Za Logistics of za forces from za Grendels (whose Manufacturing Sector was ranked 1st in North Alerica and 15th in the World) and Koffee (2nd in North Alerica and 80th in the World), vill definitely have za large advantage in being able to sustain a var vis za Great Thesisme (ranked 3rd in North Alerica and 128th in the Word) or Natopia (ranked 15th in North Alerica and 3504th in the World). Za industrial might of zese two mighty Super Powers vill be very hard to resist by any Nation”

These were small casualties however, as the incoming Lorpius groups would give the battle to the Empire, if just by numbers alone.

POSTED BY THE GRAND DUCHY THAT IS WESTERN FRONT
As the Imperial German Admirale Reinhard Scheer III cammander in Cheif of the combined fleet saw the speck of ships on the horizon his face could be seen with a hint of joy, as much joy as one could have in a battle. He imediatly radiod the Lorpian Admiral, He said, thanks guys for comeing, I thought you guys were going to sit this one out. O well come on lets finish these guys.
But to the hardened vetran Admirals suprise the Lorpian Admiral said, we are not here to help you fight our brothers we are here to end Provast's naval supriorety, WE are here for a new dann, a dann of Lorpian Power, the new Empire and for the Imperials. This statement shocked the admiral it was but a month ago that Lorpians and Provastians shared the honorale field of battle in the Leafeye war. WHAT COULD OF CHANGED THEIR MIND. Then the admirals face not just his smile but his whole face turned to pain. PAIN in his heart, PAIN in his mind, PAIN in his guns. The missiles and bombers sent by the imperial Natopian queen had put a new mix on things but he new he could handle them that is what he had the sams on the coast gaurd boats for, and the Torpedos all of his ships ahd sonar, he could of beaten the subs sure he would of taken some destroyer and gunboat loses but that was going to be ok he was going to win, But now what I am to do he said, I have 3 Lorpian Carrier groups and 2 Natopian Carrier groups on my hands. He sat down in astonishment or perplextion. Then He quickly stood up as if the blood went to his head and said, I will do what any good Naval commander would do, Retreat NO. no, I will make my stand. He barked orders to his aides and officers, Battle ships cover Carriers, Cruisers cover battle ships, destroyers cover cruisers, gunboats and anti air anti sub boats cover destroyers, subs get those Lorpian carriers. Then all was Silent the admirals officers wondering what the experinced seaman would order next, but the admiral stood still, then he shouted, FULL SPEED FOR THE NATOPIAN FLEET, my orders are to destroy the Natopian fleet and that is what I shall do. Natopian and Lorpian bombers and even fighters will find it hard to attack us when we are mixed in with Natopian ships. Then He made another interesting move he ordered the 100 small craft bristiling with machine guns of the Provast Rivirine core to be unloaded from their transports. As all the ships of the combined fleet, hundreds including the coast gaurd and riverine core boats started on their way at full speed for the Natopian fleet. The captain smerked again and said, now who has more ships. With one last order he told a petty Oficer to go to the radio room. With in one Minute a call could be heard in all of North Alerica.
MATEE, MATEE CALLING ALL FRIENDLY SHIPS AND PLANES, THIS IS THE COMBINED FLEET, WE ARE ER... SURROUNDED. PLEASE COME QUICKLY WE ARE MAKING OUR FINAL STAND.

Noise, smoke, fire, explosions, BLOOD. that is all Petty Officer George Toy could hear, smell, see and feel. His world was lost in its own mind. He was a petty officer on Imperial German Super Battle ship Hamburg, mounting 10, 18 inch guns, but today instead of feeling proud he now felt rage. He felt rage for his dead brothers and comrades. When the Admiral had made his to be historic order, "full speed ahead for the natopian fleet" Toy thought he was crazy, charging battle ships, its just wrong, its what they had wanted the Natopians to do to them. And now the sides had switched. Now Toy new for a fact it was crazy even if it was the best move the admiral could of done. Toy suddenly stopped thinking as he squeezed off another 3 inch round. See Toy was a 3 inch gunner on the Super Battle ship Hamburg, ussualy with fighters, bombers, missiles, and larger guns 3 inch guns were never really used but now he and his loader never stopped firing. Sometimes even the 40 mm gunners on the super battleship were in range, this was insane. The Provast Alerican fleet not only outnumbered the natopian fleet but engulfed it, and this made Toy proud even as he saw a Provast riverine core boat measuring only 28 feet long explode by a huge 5 inch long Natopian shell . Provast Riverine core boat Captain's must be insane Toy thought, the small boats were running circles around the Natopian ships firing there machine guns and Grenade lanchers without pausing once. God I am sure glad that I am on this ship.

On the bridge of the Super battleship and Flagship Freedom mounting 20 16 inch guns, the Admiral Rehinard Sheer the III thought about the situation, He knew that the Natopians could not fire missiles or send heavy bombers at him now for they would risk hitting there own vessels, he also saw that he was overpowering the Natopian fleet now despite numerous, gunboat, riverine core boat, and destroyer loses, He also saw that the Lorpians had pulled back because of his battle Ships and that they had had to remove one Carrier for secruity because it had taken a direct torpeodo hit, the Provast Subs had done well but there were still 4 Lorpian Carriers and the subs wont last long, and now the Lorpian fighters would come to bare on his fleet. This would be hard for his men because it is hard for a missile aporator to worry about planes when shells are being fired at them. Luckily his super battleships had been outfitted for anti air alot because a battle like this is rare it is once in a century, most of the time the battle ships were used to bombard land targets and protect Carriers from enemy planes. So he ordered the Provast and Alerican fighters to engage the Lorpian Air craft to stop as many of them as possible from getting to the fleet. But now he new what the real question was. How long could he last? that is the question. How long would he last till his Allies sent air and ship rienforcements. when he had made the matee call he had thought that air rienforcements would come fairly soon but that he would have to wait for more ships but nothing had come. He suddenly screamed WHERE ARE MY ALLIES. He could not last very long against those Lorpian carriers with out air reinforcements, he just hoped they would come soon. Then he made an anouncement to every ship in the combined fleet, " soldiers, sailors, and airmen of the combined Provast and Alerican Grand Fleet today is day of days You have embarked upon the great adventure toward which you have striven for many years, The eyes of the world are upon you, Good Luck! and let us all beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and Noble undertaking.

Admiral Voorfoot paced the deck of the Cruiser he has selected as his Flagship. The transmission from the Imperial German Fleet had been received and he had quickly tossed the situation at his command staff.

“My first instinct is to sail to the sound of the guns,” stated the Admiral flatly, scanning the eyes of his senior staff. “Our only means of providing aid would be to pull away from the coast and towards the engagement and use tankers to refuel our strike craft on the way to the battle. If we were to do so, we would be wise to get within range of our Lammergeier Missiles. We could then have our first wave of jets ride in on their wake to get maximum benefit from their Point Defence Ships being distracted by the Missiles.”

(The Lammergeier is the next generation of our improved version of the ‘Tomahawk’: beyond horizon, self-correcting, long range conventional missile. An improvement on the tomahawk design, it has greater range, better telemetry and targeting systems, stealth tech, and can carry a larger payload. It is the primary battle missile of the Grendel Navy for long-range engagements. The secondary missile, the Merlin, has a maximum range of 80km.)

“We at least have an exact position on the enemy fleet and can use the Imperial Navy to give us perfect coordinates,” added Commander Farooo. “We can have our missiles arm within 1-2 km from their targets to make it more difficult for SAM batteries to target them. We can also launch the jets from the Port defence Carrier Fleet, tanker them, and have them land on our decks.”

“Where are we going to put all the new jets?” demanded the Admiral.

“It’s a Naval Battle,” laughed Commander Saaklach. “I expect the first waves of Super Bugbears to take a pounding against those kinds of numbers. It may be a state of the art multi-role jet, but it’s going to go blazing in on some pretty stiff SAM defences.”

“Admiral,” yelled a Comms Officer on the Bridge. “The German Imperial Navy is currently engaging the combined Natopia-Lorpian Fleets with their guns and are deploying small gunboats at close quarters.”

“They’re already dead,” said Commander Jaackal, matter of factly. “They’re fighting a 21st Century Naval Battle with early 20th Century tactics!”

“There’ll be nothing but burning wrecks left of the German Imperial Fleet by the time our first strike missions arrive, Admiral,” cautioned Commander Saaklach.

“We will be stretched out and vulnerable for the purpose of defending their corpses and lifeboats,” said Commander Farooo, backing up his cohort.

“It is obvious that we cannot help the German Imperial Navy,” stated Admiral Voorfoot. “They died the day they set sail in the age of carriers and cruisers. Now we must redeploy our Naval resources to meet the threat of this combined Natopia-Lorpian Fleet. Have the Port Defence Fleet immediately leave their position to meet up with us. Have the 4th Carrier Fleet do the same. Inform the Borderlands that we require an additional two carrier fleets deployed to this theatre. We will link up our Navy with Koffee’s and prepare to receive our hosts. Ensure we don’t move too fast. We don’t want to make a wake big enough to make it possible for subs to sneak up on us.”

“I’ll get Star City to reposition a few satellites for this,” said Commander Farooo. “We’ll need good intelligence of enemy fleet movements. I suggest that we find an area to fight in that is properly seeded with our ocean floor sensors.”

“And make sure you get us some pictures from this latest naval engagement,” added Commander Jaackal. “We can see how our enemy reacts to dealing with an Old World opponent at sea. Guns against Missiles! Who did they think they were fighting, a Third World Nation?”

Commander Osev paced the decks of the Natopian Carrier Ulciscor furiously. It had all been going so well, the Lorpian forces had arrived and the enemy force was getting absolutely devastated by the sheer scale of the barrage coming at them. The battle should've been over quickly and with great finality. Then it had happened. Osev hated 'it' more then he had hated anything in his life, more then that bully in 2nd grade and more then his opposites on the enemy lines. 'It" was a very determined Allied Sub which had decided to ram itself into the bottom of the Carrier Incendium. Due to poor management on the Carrier Captains part in not realizing what had happened the Carrier was beyond their ability to save once they realized the full extent of the damage done to it. The Carrier Ulciscor withdrew from tha battle in response and was launching its fighters/bombers from a closer distance to the Island. While the fighters would still get in, they would have less fuel to fight with before they had to return. The Natopian Submarines had also been pulled into defensive positions around the Lorpian Carriers to prevent 'it' from happening again.

I would just like to remind Natopia that besid that sub not everything is going fine your entire Navy is being polverised by huge shells at close range your battleships can hardly get one bradside off before they are shot to bits

In his mobile command centre, at a secret location in Koffee, Field Marshal Daagar was monitoring the plan he had drafted with the help of his Generals and Chief of Staff. Other Mobile Vehicles and Aircraft relayed his digital coded orders to the Grendel Expeditionary Forces to make it more difficult to home in on his position.

The Plan was as detailed as it was ruthless. While the current invasion being undertaken by Koffee against the forces of Natopia and the Great Thesisme, would occupy a large portion of the enemy’s forces, no doubt they had reacted to the increase of trench raiding by bolstering their own position opposite the Grendel lines. Still the increased raiding was necessary to keep the enemy from harassing them enough to keep them from sleeping and to get them used to near constant contact, with raiding parties of up to company size involved in attacks. It also provided plenty of cover for Combat Engineers to come into the borderlands and clear routes towards their enemy. When the Grendel Expeditionary Force surged ahead of its lines, after pretending to be relieving the front line units, its mechanized fury stormed across the borderlands towards the enemy lines.

EMP tactical missile strikes were made against reserve units and known command positions, to maximize the time the Grendel Expeditionary Forces could pommel the enemy lines before any concerted counter-attack occurred. The EMP blasts will basically permanently fry every microchip and circuit within a one-mile radius, effectively making all communications and vehicles in that area inert. Manual loading can still occur for armoured units, but auto-loaders will be shut down. In the case of shielded buildings like underground bunkers, if there is an antennae the pulse will be carried down into the bunker and fry all components inside. Detonation lasts for only one nanosecond, with the wave traveling at the speed of light. After the detonation, any new material susceptible to the effect can be safely moved into the affected area and operate normally. The Borderlands of the Grendels will be using near surface burst EMP’s. This is because while one detonated high in the atmosphere would disrupt all communications and spy satellites, it would also deprive North Alerica of their Missile Shield. As we are sensitive to the need of the Missile Shield, the Grendels will only be making use of surface burst EMP’s and not be using them nearby any facilities that are tasked with maintaining the Missile Shield over North Alerica.

After the naval engagement between the Natopian and That is Western Front, had drawn a massive fleet of Lorpian warships into the fray, the Grendels ability to continue the ruse of an amphibious landing had come to an end. This meant that the land war had to begin in earnest in support of the offensive of Koffee, to relieve pressure from the combined forces of both Natopia and the Great Thesisme. The 2nd Army Group had already started landings at the Port Cities of Koffee and was soon expected to move inland to back up the 1st Army Group.

The fully mechanized assault, involved a large assortment of specialized vehicles to sustain the attack of the Army Group. Troops disgorging from the Sabre7 Infantry Fighting Vehicles, assaulted the front lines of the enemy position under heavy suppression fire from accompanying Demon13 Main Battle Tanks. A number of the Sabre7’s were modified for specialist roles, such as mobile SAM battery duty. Self Propelled Guns with 155mm howitzers ensured that the Army Group advanced with continual artillery support. The Rocket Wagons, as the troops referred to the tracked Multiple Launch Rocket System, fired lengthy barrages into enemy lines with missiles with devastating effect. Strategic Reserve Units also surged forward to take advantage of any potential break-throughs or to rescue any Units that found themselves in need of help. Waves of Super Bugbear multi-role jets streaked towards enemy lines, the first waves letting loose a few salvoes of air to surface anti-radiation missiles to take out enemy SAM’s from a distance and Air to Air tasked jets to join their enemy counterparts in battle, to clear the way for following waves of strikes. As the most powerful Arms Industry by far, currently involved in the North Alerican Civil War, the Grendels were excellently equipped for the task at hand.

The Battle Plan called for a number of rabid feints at various points in the enemy line, which had little chance of smashing through, to try to draw off reserves to various places in the line. Then the Main Assault would hammer into the enemy, while their reserves were tied up repelling Secondary Assaults. While Field Marshal Daagar was confident in the Gnolls of his Army Group and in the plan, as a tactician he dare not underestimate the ability of his formidable enemies in this venture. The Borderlands of the Grendels didn’t get to the top of the UN Economic Reports by a lack of planning and Field Marshal Daagar had no intention of failing his Nation. It would be a bloody fight, but a good one.

"God dammit," General Kensington screamed into his phone, "I don't care how much they're shelling you, you will break through those lines and you will do your duty to this nation and this army, or you will be shot! Do I make myself clear major?"

Kensington was fed up with all the delays in storming the TGT defenses now encircling Alerica. If his plan, his siege, was to have any chance of succeeding, especially now that they were caught between a rebellious city and that nation's army come to put an end to his blockade.

"If I don't see a Lorpian column advancing over that ridge in the next five hours, soldier, we are going to be overrun. And you will be responsible. That will not happen, not now, understood?"

"Yes sir, we're doing our best. The enemy is very determined, but I think we might be able to--"

The signal had cut out. Kensington glared at the phone.

"Major Lothar?"

But it was useless, the device had completely died.

"Useless piece of shit, you'd think with all the money Lorpia has..."

Kensington stepped toward the flap of his command tent, ready to shout at one of his aides, but he was stopped by the entrance of another figure, and two escorting soldiers.

"Who the hell are you? What do you want? Dammit, I don't have time for interruptions, I've got a battle to manage!"

The tall, dark man inclined his head toward Kensington utterly expressionless.

Kensington glowered, "Right, get out of my way then--" Kensington looked closer, "Oh my God. Director? Wha--How? But you're supposed to be--"

The blow came without any warning whatsoever. Kensington wasn't prepared, and even had he remembered his hand-to-hand training it was doubtful that he could have done anything. But no sooner had he hit the ground than his assailant grabbed him around the neck and lifted him into the air. Kensington looked, astonished, into his narrowed eyes, amazed that a man who, by his grayed hair, was at least a decade his elder had such strength.

His mouth opened only slightly, but the words which passed through his lips none the less menacing, "I...will...not...tolerate...insubordination...am...I...clear?"

Kensington didn't have the breath to respond, but the old man seemed satisfied by his look of helpless pleading. Kensington was carried to the tent's opening, where the old man easily tossed him to the ground once more.

A few seconds later, gasping for air, Kensington struggled to his feet, and found himself staring at a small group of soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Alerican Army.

The old man merely said, "Do what you want with him." At which the soldiers grabbed Kensington by the shoulders and dragged him off.

William Tiller, Director of the North Alerican Central Intelligence Agency watched Kensington's open-mouthed departure, the man still too shocked to speak, for a few moments more. Then he turned to his escorts, nodded his head, and walked back to the helicopter which brought him here, taking no notice of the bodies of Kensington's staff which littered the camp.

The Naval battle at sapientia had turned into living chaos or living living hell. Ships had trouble moving for fear that they would hit either a sunken vessel, a vessel on fire or another moving one. Men out side firing their weapons didnt know what to fear more the numerous Natopian Cruisers and there shells or the Lorpian Fighter that littered the sky above them. The fact was that when the Holy Empire of Provasts and the Alerican Fleet engaged the Natpian fleet they had met and stayed in a small area, the two fleets were intermingled, it was sheer madness but probablly better than facing Natopian Bombers and missiles supported by the Lorpian fighters. Right then Admiral Rhinard sheer III looked out his steel Bridge and quickly at the sky, he saw more jets and planes then he had ever seen in his long naval career, There were hundreds of them, swarms of Lorpian Fighters with a few specks of Provast and Alerican fighters, but he could not find any Natopian then he saw one, two, just a few NAtopian aces surviving the swarm. He then said to his aide de camp, Ed we are doing quite good considering that we are widely outnumbered maybe we will show those Grendal basttards up after all, we have have lost many ships but not as many big ones as the Natopian fleet, we have lost, 3 Aegis class Cruisers, 6 destroyers, many gunboats andsmall craft and we havent heard from the subs, but the Natopian fleet has lost 3 of there 4 battleships with only the flag ship remaining surrounded by the endless amounts of cruisers, they have lost 6 cruisers with 10 remaining, they have lost 8 detroyers with 6 remaining, an unknown amount of subs and they have lost 0 carriers, Just as the admiral was done comenting on the fairly good situation he heard a louder sound than ussual in the sky, and he realized that it had been fairly quite outside for a while, when he looked outside again he saw 3 full sqadrons of Lorpian Fighters heading down on the regular Iowa class battleship St. Francis, before the fleet had taken down 4 of the planes the squadrons hit the ST. Francis after severale minutes of bombardement the squadrons had take heavy causltys but the St. Francis was on fire and almost all her guns had been destroyed, The captain ordered abonden ship and began steering her out of the battle, the admiral thought at least the men are able to get off her and will be saved,as soon as he had finished saying that the last remaining Natopian Battleship and flagship stopped its gunfight with the Provast battleships and took aim at the ST. Francis. The next thing the admiral new the Natopian Flagship let go an entire broadside of 16 inch and 5 inch guns onto the St. Francis and when the shells hit the fire on the decks of her there was a huge explosion one of the largest ones the Admiral had ever seem, felt, and heard. It ripped the ship apart with the jaws of Fire, engulfing almost the entire crew, Right then every man's heart in the entire Provast Alerican Fleet dropped a little lower.

Onizuka36 land based bombers and fighters took off from The air base in Okinawa. Their target: The Lorpian Aircraft Carriers. Through the engagement we lost contact through a radio malfunction. From preliminary reports we belive that we may have gotten one but this report is unconfirmed. During the engagement we did suffer heavy casualities.

As time goes by more information comes in. Reports say that an estimated 300 pilots were killed or are MIA. We did hear however the good news that the Lorpian carriers were totally caught by suprise. Still unconfirmed whether or not we did destroy any of the carriers, although it is believed that one most likely was.

As The Lorpian Admiral looked on at the battle between the Natopian and Provast Ships he smiled it appeared that the tide was begining to turn although the Natopian fleet was in shambles and it would be utterly destroyed by the end of the battle, there was no way that the Grand Provast Alerican Fleet could take him on after the Natopians this even despite the attacks by Onizuka and Of the People land based Bombers and Fighters. The Lorpian Fighters had recently destroyed the only Provast Carrier in the battle and had destroyed all but one of the turrets mounting 18 inch guns on the Super Battleship Hamburg, before that they had destroyed the Iowa class battleship St. Francis, Plus 3 destroyers, 1 Cruiser, several gunboats, and 4 subs. THis along with 2 Cruisers destroyed by Natopian ships, 4 destroyers destroyed by Natopian Ships, and many Gunboats and small craft destroyed by Natopian Ships left the Grand Provast and Alerican fleet with 2 1/2 super battleships, 1 Iowa class battleship, 1 carrier, 2 Cruisers, 6 destroyers, 1 sub, and a handful of gunboats and smallcraft able to fight. The Lorpian Fleet had more carriers, destroyers, Cruisers, and subs that could easily destroy the Provast fleet even with their battleships when they would try and advance on them. Then as he was enjoying the great feeling of Victory he looked at the Horizon facing Alerica, He could see specks just coming over it, what could it be. As they came a little closer he could make out ships but his question was who's are they Provast his army and the rest of his fleet is in Moscowy, whose navy was this. Then his messenger called him over, " sir. We have just intercepted a message to the Provast Flagship Freedom, it reads as follows, BROTHERS IN ARMS, THE RELIEF FLEET IS HERE, WE INCLUDE SHIPS FROM THE REST OF THE PROVAST FLEET, ONIZUKAS NAVY, AND DEATH HEADS KORP SUBMARINE FLEET. The Proud Lorpian Admiral was stunned where could these ships have come from, he quickly ran outside and looked through his telescope, only to see Flags of Provast, Onizuka, and Death Heads Korp. He saw more than 20 cruisers baring the flag of either Onizuka or Provast steaming fast for his fleet with Destroyers, 1 Carrier, and one Iowa class battleship trailing behind. Then one of his officers called him in, he said captain we just picked about 15 subs on the Sonar. Another Officer suddenly said sir the Cruisers are closing in Fast, then another officer called him in Sir. The main Provast Alerican Grand fleet seems to be finishing off the Natopian fleet only the Flagship and carrier encircled by a few Cruisers remain. The Proud, Wise, Vetran Lorpian Admiral looked around without a word.

The admiral plodded back to his CIS, upon entering, he slowly stepped to his own desk, and sat down. Looking at the displays surrounding him, he gloomily watched the battle continue. He took note of the new additions, still too far to actually participate, but sailing steadily on nonetheless. Do those fools think they can make a difference now? Do they not realize what they're up against? No, but they couldn't, could they...

"Admiral?"

He looked up, a junior officer was looking at him quizically, by his posture, it was not the first time he'd addressed the Admiral.

"Excuse me, I was gathering wool."

"Yes sir, there's a marine chopper landing with a VIP, they say he needs to meet with you urgently."

The admiral murmured something under his breath, then, "All right, send 'em to my quarters."

The one thing the admiral liked about these new designs was that the ship's captain had a combination quarters and office just a short walk from the CIS, underneath the flight deck. The admiral estimated he had enough time to put on his nicer dress uniform before the VIP--undoubtedly some politician or member of the board to come "inspect" him and oversee the battle--arrived. And indeed, his door opened just as he was donning his hat, a silly contrivance whose purpose he never understood.

But as the admiral turned to face his visitor, his fake smile ready, the winded, sweating young man that faced him was not up to his expections.

"Admiral! Thank god! No time...recall the planes! Pull the whole group away, now!"

"What? Why? What's happened here?"

"Dammit, I don't have time to explain! The battle orders you got were forged, someone's hijacked the chain of command. You'll get more info later, just pull out now, you're killing the wrong people."

"Who are you?"

"Hawking, secretary of state," and with that he ran off, presumably back to his helicopter.

The admiral stood dumbfounded for a few seconds. Then, breaking a faint smile, he tossed his hat onto his bed, and went to tell his bridge crew the great news.

They were waiting. The men of the Empire of Natopia had dug their trenches, evacuated the civillians and placed their mortar teams behind them. They had expected a concentrated enemy attack on their lines, instead they got a massive barrage of hit-fade operations from the Grendels and a slow, but inevitable, march from the soldiers of Koffee. They couldn't chase Grendelians half way around the battle-field and they could not hunker down long enough to formally engage Koffee soldiers without Grendel harrasement. They did the only thing they could do.

They withdrew.

Natopia's front lines collapsed liked a receding wave, ignoring any casualties and leaving those who couldn't keep up. In more then one instance a mech infantry unit would run out of fuel, only to be left behind. Its crew scrambling like ants to get out of it and join up with an infantry column. They withdrew a grand total of 25 miles into Natopia, to specially pre-built trenches and command bunkers forming a solid half circle starting at the North Sea and ending at the South Sea. The Island of Sapientia was in the middle, inbetween the two Seas, but 35 miles to th east of them. Patrolling the North Sea was the third Carrier Battle group along with remaining Natopian fleet divisions. They were placed here because the North Sea, unlike the South Sea, connected to a larger ocean. The South Sea had but a few civillian ships turned military in it. The Trenches the soldiers were in were designed in 5 spheres. The 1st and largest sphere begins in the middle of the half circle and expands almost to its edges on both sides. The 1st trench also has make-shift bridges that can be raised and lowered located on 5 points. Two in the north, two in the south and one in the center. Behind each bridge was a Natopian supply depot containing 3-4 armor divisions. The bridges could be lowered to allow the armor to initiate a shock campaign against invaders, and then to withdraw back to the depot. Three airfields lay some 5 miles behind the supply depots. The airfields would launch fighters, bombers and helicopters to aid the trench soldiers against any sustained assualt. In the 1st trench itself were the infantry men. They had 1/3rd of their number positioned behind 'rock' points in the trenches which contained extra reinforcement for the walls and a dug in anti-tank weapon. The remaining soldiers had an upgraded design of the bayonet attached to their weapons and would impale enemy soldiers that managed to enter the trenches.

(OOC: Thats just the 1st trench sphere, I'll describe the others if/as you guys get to them)

Land, Air and Sea fronts estimated casualties for Natopia thus far: 1,500,000 civillian/miliatary personel lost, 2,000,000 fled as refugees/deserters.


On the battle for Sapientia:

Commander Osev was dead, shrapnel from a gunboat that had the misfortune of being under an enemy bomb near the Carrier had pierced him through the skull. The Battleships Bravis, Deo, Astrum and Lux were destroyed by the 'super' ships of the Allied forces. The Empress-in-waiting had ordered a final slavo of Tomahawk fire in an attempt to fully knock out one of the 'super' cruisers. The results of the Submarine battles is currently unknown, but after that initial ramming by an Allied sub no further attempts have been made on Natopian non-submersibles by enemy submersibles. The air aspect of the battle would be the turning point of this battle, with 1 Imperial Carrier, Bombers from airfields in the capital city and 5 Lorpian Carriers facing off against the 2 Allied Carriers there was no way they could stop the sheer number of bombers from distracting enemy crews and damaging enemy ships. It was looking good for the Empire. Until that last act, that last traitorus act happened. The Lorpian fighters went down to re-fuel in their carriers, but they didn't come back out. In fact, the Carriers began turning and moving towards the Provast/Alerican fleets, and the enemy fleets did not attempt to destroy them...Now the tables had turned, crushing air superiority was now being levelled against the Natopian Empire and not against the rebellious factions of North Alerica. The battle was not over yet though, and the Natopians would be staying in it until it was finished.

OOC: AHHHH...too much to read!

The sun set on another day. For the island nation, almost nothing had changed in the preceeding weeks. The war was fought thousands of miles away, over the horizon, nothing was ever heard. A single bright light had shone for a few minutes a few days ago, a nuclear detonation, but other than that, no signs of any of the destruction ever reached the people's senses, other than through the strictly controlled media outlets. But as the sun set on the day, so too did the dusk of that time approach.

The aircraft approached swiftly. Through some strange circumstance, the ride was amazingly smooth this flight. Not that its occupant would have showed any signs of notice had the turbulence been horrendous either. The dark man sat motionless. He was not the craft's sole passenger. A platoon of marines waited in the compartment as well. The lieutenant watched his silent companion. The dark man took notice of him, remembering another who had looked at him with similar curiosity, a man who had since gone on to greater things, but like before, the dark man showed the lieutenant no emotion, no recognition, made no effort to speak. The lieutenant considered attempting to strike up a conversation, but something in the back of his mind told him such an effort would be unrewarded. And besides, their objective was coming into view.

The people looked up at the sound. The rumble of such machines was not unknown on the island, but none could remember seeing helicopters so low this near to the headquarters building. It was not until soldiers ran from the barracks, with weapons shouldered, that the people realized the war must have finally come here. And, knowing such, the reserve that had been hammered into them from birth was overcame, and they ran.

The soldiers prepared to fire, but were cut down by flashes of fire from the helicopters. Bullets poured out from the craft, slicing into the defenders before they could leave their buildings. Missiles soared down from passing jetcraft, and the towers surrounding the complex blazed and fell.

The lieutenant glanced once more at his stoic travelmate, before following his platoon onto the ground. After a few moments pause, the old man himself disembarked, recovering from the short fall with no sign of discomfort, indeed no noticeable expression at all. He entered the main building after the marines. The guard was surprisingly light, and showed the present administration's stupidity. Though the man had his own weapon holstered on his belt, he made no move to use it, letting the soldiers preceding him do the unpleasant job.

After perhaps half an hour, the gunfire died off. A few erratic bursts may still be heard, but it was over. The resistance was crushed, order could now be restored. The man came to an office. No different from those surrounding it, though this one was at one of the building's beachfront corners, and was marked Director.

The dark man pushed the door open and stepped inside. In the office he found a large desk, on which sat a prism engraved with the name "Whitman". Just right of the desk were four marines, keeping guard over a man in plastic handcuffs who knelt on the floor.

"Hello Charles."

The man looked up at the new arrival. The fear on his face was apparent, and he made no attempt to hide it. His voice was whimpering, "Tiller, oh God. It's not my fault, really. It was that Lorpian General and Empress Alexia from Natopia, when they found out you were away, they forced me. Blackmail it was! Please, you have to believe me, I had no choice. Don't kill me--"

"I'm not going to kill you, Charles. That would be improper, much as I might want to."

"Good Lord, thank you, sir, thank you."

"Shut up. They're going to be holding a tribunal once this mess is over with. We'll see if they have any more love for you than I."

Turning back to the marine guards, the old man gestured to the door, saying, "take him to the regional prison in New Lexington, you'll have people waiting to arrest him."

Once they were gone, the man moved to the desk and sat down. The Director checked the phone, it worked, there wouldn't be any secretaries to do the work for him, but he preferred to make his own calls anyway. He dialed a number inside the Federation of Lorpia. "Yes, Mr. President, the attack went fine, you should have your marines back in a few days, we'll have Agency soldiers back on duty by the end of the week. Oh, and send my regrets to the Allied council, but Mr. Whitman will not be able to stand trial for his crimes. Yes, he resisted arrest and was shot during the assault. Thank you, good afternoon." The Director replaced the reciever, and leaned forward slightly. For the first time in weeks, a faint hint of a smile could have been seen on his face, were any observers present, the NACIA was once again under control.

Less than 5 miles away, a small figure fell out of a helicopter, and plunged into the ocean. And the sun set for the night.

He looked about his room carefully. His head would not move when he wished it too, his arms and legs would likewise not respond and his eyes did not like all of the light suddenly bombarding them. He had unconcious from his wounds for the past 2 weeks and his body was not used to all this activity. It was used to laying on its bed and healing, not trying to figure out where in all thats holy it currently was and what parts of it still worked or not. He could tell he was in a hospital; his nose let him know that much from the scent of medicines. He could also tell his ceiling was grey, but that didn't help him. He felt the darkness of unconciousness calling to him again, it was very hard to resist.


The doctor walked out to meet the acting leader of the Exiles. The leader was a stern man of some 50 years with greying hair and a stern demeanor. Nothing at all like the youthful and somewhat over-zealous Rector he was filling in for.

"Sir the Rector's condition has changed..." the doctor began.

"Is he going to walk out of that room or not?" snapped the acting leader.

"Sir, he's suffered serious injury. He lost a kidney, suffered a wound to his heart and we had to regrow his liver" the doctor said "but I he's been upgraded from critical to stable. He's going to walk out of their eventually."

The acting leader didn't respond. He simply turned and began walking out of the hospital, pulling out a cell phone from his pocket on the way.

This here is the complete record of events of the naval battle of sapientia.

PROVAST WROTE.
It was a wonderful day in the Natopian city of Sapientia, the best weather seen all week despite the distant sounds of bombing in the capital. A young sailor on the natopian battleship Astrum stantioned in Sapientia went out side for a smoke on this nice day. Has he stood relaxing he saw a wierd shade on the horizon facing the Alerican Border. At first he could not make out what it was he wondered and pondered, and then it hit him. It was the worst thing any sailor could face a sight more horrific than death it self. It was huge and powerful, It was the Combined Alerican and the Empire of Provasts fleet. Mounting 3 Provast and German super Battle Ships the best in the world, 2 Provast and German regular battle ships, 1 Provast Carrier and one Alerican Carrier, 8 Provast Destroyers, 5 Alerican Destroyers, 3 Provast Aegis class Cruisers, 2 Alerican Aegis Cruisers, 5 Provast Subs, and one hundred of what appeared to be Alerican coast gaurd vessels, the larger ones loaded with artilliary, the smaller ones with depth charges and sam missile batteries. This Fleet was created for one purpose the destruction of the Natopian Fleet. The youg sailor's eyes went red as his blood almost stopped flowing. He ran to his captain as quickly as possible. When the Captain saw the fleet he realized they had made good speed on his fleet but in 10 minutes he realized the fleet had stopped, stopped jsut in 18 inch gun range his largest battle ship had 16 inch gun range. Then he saw fire and screamed. The next thing the grand Natopian fleet of 4 battle ships, 14 destroyers, 16 Cruisers, 2 carriers, and 14 subs, realized was that they were being bambarded by 2 Provast German super battle ships, one with 10, 18 inch guns and the other 9, 20 inch guns. What was the captain to do if he sends his planes they risk being shot down by the battleships, cruisers, destroyers, and sam batteries. If he moves forward with his destroyers, battle ships, and cruisers half will be dead before they get a broadside in.

LORPIA WROTE.
It was a wonderful day in the West Alerican Sea. Chief Petty Officer Morisson, currently manning a 5 inch gun on a Provast cruiser watched yet another small Natopian gunboat slip beneath the waves, succumbing to his shells. Scanning for more targets, his eyes caught upon something in the distance.

"Well I'll be damned," he spoke to his loader, "looks like we got another fleet coming in to help us scrap these ducks."

Indeed, another fleet was rapidly approaching, 3 carrier battle groups at least were just coming over the horizon, and Morisson could just begin to make out the specks that must be launching fighters. And all of them flying friendly flags...

"Oh, f***."

And it was only then did he realize that his superiors had made a fatal error in their planning. For the flags weren't friendly, not anymore. With 5 Lorpian Carrier Groups bearing down on the Allied fleet, all carrying full loads of fighters and support aircraft, and innumerable destroyers, cruisers, and frigates, the day wasn't looking so wonderful anymore...

NATOPIA WROTE.
Alexia, Empress in waiting of Imperial Natopia was not amused. Small bombing runs by day, and a large scale fleet invasion that night. Still, the Natopian Armed Forces were not without options. The plan was perfect in its simplicity: the Natopian bombers stationed on the Carriers Ulciscor and Incendium, in addition to the cities own Bomber squadrons, would fly first at the enemy boats. At the same time the AEGIS ships would pull in front of the Battleships and attempt to give them cover as they pulled closer to the Allied forces. In addition to this the Submarines would immediatly begin closing distance. Then the final part would enter, the land forces guarding the capital could launch 36 SCUD style missiles at the incoming enemy Naval force. Would the enemy go for the Bombers? Or the missiles? Or both? Already one AEGIS cruiser had been destroyed however and one Destroyer damaged. These were small casualties however, as the incoming Lorpius groups would give the battle to the Empire, if just by numbers alone.

PROVAST WROTE.
As the Imperial German Admirale Reinhard Scheer III cammander in Cheif of the combined fleet saw the speck of ships on the horizon his face could be seen with a hint of joy, as much joy as one could have in a battle. He imediatly radiod the Lorpian Admiral, He said, thanks guys for comeing, I thought you guys were going to sit this one out. O well come on lets finish these guys.
But to the hardened vetran Admirals suprise the Lorpian Admiral said, we are not here to help you fight our brothers we are here to end Provast's naval supriorety, WE are here for a new dann, a dann of Lorpian Power, the new Empire and for the Imperials. This statement shocked the admiral it was but a month ago that Lorpians and Provastians shared the honorale field of battle in the Leafeye war. WHAT COULD OF CHANGED THEIR MIND. Then the admirals face not just his smile but his whole face turned to pain. PAIN in his heart, PAIN in his mind, PAIN in his guns. The missiles and bombers sent by the imperial Natopian queen had put a new mix on things but he new he could handle them that is what he had the sams on the coast gaurd boats for, and the Torpedos all of his ships ahd sonar, he could of beaten the subs sure he would of taken some destroyer and gunboat loses but that was going to be ok he was going to win, But now what I am to do he said, I have 3 Lorpian Carrier groups and 2 Natopian Carrier groups on my hands. He sat down in astonishment or perplextion. Then He quickly stood up as if the blood went to his head and said, I will do what any good Naval commander would do, Retreat NO. no, I will make my stand. He barked orders to his aides and officers, Battle ships cover Carriers, Cruisers cover battle ships, destroyers cover cruisers, gunboats and anti air anti sub boats cover destroyers, subs get those Lorpian carriers. Then all was Silent the admirals officers wondering what the experinced seaman would order next, but the admiral stood still, then he shouted, FULL SPEED FOR THE NATOPIAN FLEET, my orders are to destroy the Natopian fleet and that is what I shall do. Natopian and Lorpian bombers and even fighters will find it hard to attack us when we are mixed in with Natopian ships. Then He made another interesting move he ordered the 100 small craft bristiling with machine guns of the Provast Rivirine core to be unloaded from their transports. As all the ships of the combined fleet, hundreds including the coast gaurd and riverine core boats started on their way at full speed for the Natopian fleet. The captain smerked again and said, now who has more ships. With one last order he told a petty Oficer to go to the radio room. With in one Minute a call could be heard in all of North Alerica.
MATEE, MATEE CALLING ALL FRIENDLY SHIPS AND PLANES, THIS IS THE COMBINED FLEET, WE ARE ER... SURROUNDED. PLEASE COME QUICKLY WE ARE MAKING OUR FINAL STAND.


PROVAST WROTE.
Noise, smoke, fire, explosions, BLOOD. that is all Petty Officer George Toy could hear, smell, see and feel. His world was lost in its own mind. He was a petty officer on Imperial German Super Battle ship Hamburg, mounting 10, 18 inch guns, but today instead of feeling proud he now felt rage. He felt rage for his dead brothers and comrades. When the Admiral had made his to be historic order, "full speed ahead for the natopian fleet" Toy thought he was crazy, charging battle ships, its just wrong, its what they had wanted the Natopians to do to them. And now the sides had switched. Now Toy new for a fact it was crazy even if it was the best move the admiral could of done. Toy suddenly stopped thinking as he squeezed off another 3 inch round. See Toy was a 3 inch gunner on the Super Battle ship Hamburg, ussualy with fighters, bombers, missiles, and larger guns 3 inch guns were never really used but now he and his loader never stopped firing. Sometimes even the 40 mm gunners on the super battleship were in range, this was insane. The Provast Alerican fleet not only outnumbered the natopian fleet but engulfed it, and this made Toy proud even as he saw a Provast riverine core boat measuring only 28 feet long explode by a huge 5 inch long Natopian shell . Provast Riverine core boat Captain's must be insane Toy thought, the small boats were running circles around the Natopian ships firing there machine guns and Grenade lanchers without pausing once. God I am sure glad that I am on this ship.

On the bridge of the Super battleship and Flagship Freedom mounting 20 16 inch guns, the Admiral Rehinard Sheer the III thought about the situation, He knew that the Natopians could not fire missiles or send heavy bombers at him now for they would risk hitting there own vessels, he also saw that he was overpowering the Natopian fleet now despite numerous, gunboat, riverine core boat, and destroyer loses, He also saw that the Lorpians had pulled back because of his battle Ships and that they had had to remove one Carrier for secruity because it had taken a direct torpeodo hit, the Provast Subs had done well but there were still 4 Lorpian Carriers and the subs wont last long, and now the Lorpian fighters would come to bare on his fleet. This would be hard for his men because it is hard for a missile aporator to worry about planes when shells are being fired at them. Luckily his super battleships had been outfitted for anti air alot because a battle like this is rare it is once in a century, most of the time the battle ships were used to bombard land targets and protect Carriers from enemy planes. So he ordered the Provast and Alerican fighters to engage the Lorpian Air craft to stop as many of them as possible from getting to the fleet. But now he new what the real question was. How long could he last? that is the question. How long would he last till his Allies sent air and ship rienforcements. when he had made the matee call he had thought that air rienforcements would come fairly soon but that he would have to wait for more ships but nothing had come. He suddenly screamed WHERE ARE MY ALLIES. He could not last very long against those Lorpian carriers with out air reinforcements, he just hoped they would come soon. Then he made an anouncement to every ship in the combined fleet, " soldiers, sailors, and airmen of the combined Provast and Alerican Grand Fleet today is day of days You have embarked upon the great adventure toward which you have striven for many years, The eyes of the world are upon you, Good Luck! and let us all beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and Noble undertaking.


GRENDALES WROTE.
Admiral Voorfoot paced the deck of the Cruiser he has selected as his Flagship. The transmission from the Imperial German Fleet had been received and he had quickly tossed the situation at his command staff.

“My first instinct is to sail to the sound of the guns,” stated the Admiral flatly, scanning the eyes of his senior staff. “Our only means of providing aid would be to pull away from the coast and towards the engagement and use tankers to refuel our strike craft on the way to the battle. If we were to do so, we would be wise to get within range of our Lammergeier Missiles. We could then have our first wave of jets ride in on their wake to get maximum benefit from their Point Defence Ships being distracted by the Missiles.”

(The Lammergeier is the next generation of our improved version of the ‘Tomahawk’: beyond horizon, self-correcting, long range conventional missile. An improvement on the tomahawk design, it has greater range, better telemetry and targeting systems, stealth tech, and can carry a larger payload. It is the primary battle missile of the Grendel Navy for long-range engagements. The secondary missile, the Merlin, has a maximum range of 80km.)

“We at least have an exact position on the enemy fleet and can use the Imperial Navy to give us perfect coordinates,” added Commander Farooo. “We can have our missiles arm within 1-2 km from their targets to make it more difficult for SAM batteries to target them. We can also launch the jets from the Port defence Carrier Fleet, tanker them, and have them land on our decks.”

“Where are we going to put all the new jets?” demanded the Admiral.

“It’s a Naval Battle,” laughed Commander Saaklach. “I expect the first waves of Super Bugbears to take a pounding against those kinds of numbers. It may be a state of the art multi-role jet, but it’s going to go blazing in on some pretty stiff SAM defences.”

“Admiral,” yelled a Comms Officer on the Bridge. “The German Imperial Navy is currently engaging the combined Natopia-Lorpian Fleets with their guns and are deploying small gunboats at close quarters.”

“They’re already dead,” said Commander Jaackal, matter of factly. “They’re fighting a 21st Century Naval Battle with early 20th Century tactics!”

“There’ll be nothing but burning wrecks left of the German Imperial Fleet by the time our first strike missions arrive, Admiral,” cautioned Commander Saaklach.

“We will be stretched out and vulnerable for the purpose of defending their corpses and lifeboats,” said Commander Farooo, backing up his cohort.

“It is obvious that we cannot help the German Imperial Navy,” stated Admiral Voorfoot. “They died the day they set sail in the age of carriers and cruisers. Now we must redeploy our Naval resources to meet the threat of this combined Natopia-Lorpian Fleet. Have the Port Defence Fleet immediately leave their position to meet up with us. Have the 4th Carrier Fleet do the same. Inform the Borderlands that we require an additional two carrier fleets deployed to this theatre. We will link up our Navy with Koffee’s and prepare to receive our hosts. Ensure we don’t move too fast. We don’t want to make a wake big enough to make it possible for subs to sneak up on us.”

“I’ll get Star City to reposition a few satellites for this,” said Commander Farooo. “We’ll need good intelligence of enemy fleet movements. I suggest that we find an area to fight in that is properly seeded with our ocean floor sensors.”

“And make sure you get us some pictures from this latest naval engagement,” added Commander Jaackal. “We can see how our enemy reacts to dealing with an Old World opponent at sea. Guns against Missiles! Who did they think they were fighting, a Third World Nation?”

NATOPIA WROTE.
Commander Osev paced the decks of the Natopian Carrier Ulciscor furiously. It had all been going so well, the Lorpian forces had arrived and the enemy force was getting absolutely devastated by the sheer scale of the barrage coming at them. The battle should've been over quickly and with great finality. Then it had happened. Osev hated 'it' more then he had hated anything in his life, more then that bully in 2nd grade and more then his opposites on the enemy lines. 'It" was a very determined Allied Sub which had decided to ram itself into the bottom of the Carrier Incendium. Due to poor management on the Carrier Captains part in not realizing what had happened the Carrier was beyond their ability to save once they realized the full extent of the damage done to it. The Carrier Ulciscor withdrew from tha battle in response and was launching its fighters/bombers from a closer distance to the Island. While the fighters would still get in, they would have less fuel to fight with before they had to return. The Natopian Submarines had also been pulled into defensive positions around the Lorpian Carriers to prevent 'it' from happening again.

PROVAST WROTE.
The Naval battle at sapientia had turned into living chaos or living living hell. Ships had trouble moving for fear that they would hit either a sunken vessel, a vessel on fire or another moving one. Men out side firing their weapons didnt know what to fear more the numerous Natopian Cruisers and there shells or the Lorpian Fighter that littered the sky above them. The fact was that when the Holy Empire of Provasts and the Alerican Fleet engaged the Natpian fleet they had met and stayed in a small area, the two fleets were intermingled, it was sheer madness but probablly better than facing Natopian Bombers and missiles supported by the Lorpian fighters. Right then Admiral Rhinard sheer III looked out his steel Bridge and quickly at the sky, he saw more jets and planes then he had ever seen in his long naval career, There were hundreds of them, swarms of Lorpian Fighters with a few specks of Provast and Alerican fighters, but he could not find any Natopian then he saw one, two, just a few NAtopian aces surviving the swarm. He then said to his aide de camp, Ed we are doing quite good considering that we are widely outnumbered maybe we will show those Grendal basttards up after all, we have have lost many ships but not as many big ones as the Natopian fleet, we have lost, 3 Aegis class Cruisers, 6 destroyers, many gunboats andsmall craft and we havent heard from the subs, but the Natopian fleet has lost 3 of there 4 battleships with only the flag ship remaining surrounded by the endless amounts of cruisers, they have lost 6 cruisers with 10 remaining, they have lost 8 detroyers with 6 remaining, an unknown amount of subs and they have lost 0 carriers, Just as the admiral was done comenting on the fairly good situation he heard a louder sound than ussual in the sky, and he realized that it had been fairly quite outside for a while, when he looked outside again he saw 3 full sqadrons of Lorpian Fighters heading down on the regular Iowa class battleship St. Francis, before the fleet had taken down 4 of the planes the squadrons hit the ST. Francis after severale minutes of bombardement the squadrons had take heavy causltys but the St. Francis was on fire and almost all her guns had been destroyed, The captain ordered abonden ship and began steering her out of the battle, the admiral thought at least the men are able to get off her and will be saved,as soon as he had finished saying that the last remaining Natopian Battleship and flagship stopped its gunfight with the Provast battleships and took aim at the ST. Francis. The next thing the admiral new the Natopian Flagship let go an entire broadside of 16 inch and 5 inch guns onto the St. Francis and when the shells hit the fire on the decks of her there was a huge explosion one of the largest ones the Admiral had ever seem, felt, and heard. It ripped the ship apart with the jaws of Fire, engulfing almost the entire crew, Right then every man's heart in the entire Provast Alerican Fleet dropped a little lower.

ONIZUKA WROTE.
Onizuka36 land based bombers and fighters took off from The air base in Okinawa. Their target: The Lorpian Aircraft Carriers. Through the engagement we lost contact through a radio malfunction. From preliminary reports we belive that we may have gotten one but this report is unconfirmed. During the engagement we did suffer heavy casualities. As time goes by more information comes in. Reports say that an estimated 300 pilots were killed or are MIA. We did hear however the good news that the Lorpian carriers were totally caught by suprise. Still unconfirmed whether or not we did destroy any of the carriers, although it is believed that one most likely was.

PROVAST WROTE.
As The Lorpian Admiral looked on at the battle between the Natopian and Provast Ships he smiled it appeared that the tide was begining to turn although the Natopian fleet was in shambles and it would be utterly destroyed by the end of the battle, there was no way that the Grand Provast Alerican Fleet could take him on after the Natopians this even despite the attacks by Onizuka and Of the People land based Bombers and Fighters. The Lorpian Fighters had recently destroyed the only Provast Carrier in the battle and had destroyed all but one of the turrets mounting 18 inch guns on the Super Battleship Hamburg, before that they had destroyed the Iowa class battleship St. Francis, Plus 3 destroyers, 1 Cruiser, several gunboats, and 4 subs. THis along with 2 Cruisers destroyed by Natopian ships, 4 destroyers destroyed by Natopian Ships, and many Gunboats and small craft destroyed by Natopian Ships left the Grand Provast and Alerican fleet with 2 1/2 super battleships, 1 Iowa class battleship, 1 carrier, 2 Cruisers, 6 destroyers, 1 sub, and a handful of gunboats and smallcraft able to fight. The Lorpian Fleet had more carriers, destroyers, Cruisers, and subs that could easily destroy the Provast fleet even with their battleships when they would try and advance on them. Then as he was enjoying the great feeling of Victory he looked at the Horizon facing Alerica, He could see specks just coming over it, what could it be. As they came a little closer he could make out ships but his question was who's are they Provast his army and the rest of his fleet is in Moscowy, whose navy was this. Then his messenger called him over, " sir. We have just intercepted a message to the Provast Flagship Freedom, it reads as follows, BROTHERS IN ARMS, THE RELIEF FLEET IS HERE, WE INCLUDE SHIPS FROM THE REST OF THE PROVAST FLEET, ONIZUKAS NAVY, AND DEATH HEADS KORP SUBMARINE FLEET. The Proud Lorpian Admiral was stunned where could these ships have come from, he quickly ran outside and looked through his telescope, only to see Flags of Provast, Onizuka, and Death Heads Korp. He saw more than 20 cruisers baring the flag of either Onizuka or Provast steaming fast for his fleet with Destroyers, 1 Carrier, and one Iowa class battleship trailing behind. Then one of his officers called him in, he said captain we just picked about 15 subs on the Sonar. Another Officer suddenly said sir the Cruisers are closing in Fast, then another officer called him in Sir. The main Provast Alerican Grand fleet seems to be finishing off the Natopian fleet only the Flagship and carrier encircled by a few Cruisers remain. The Proud, Wise, Vetran Lorpian Admiral looked around without a word.

LORPIA WROTE.
The admiral plodded back to his CIS, upon entering, he slowly stepped to his own desk, and sat down. Looking at the displays surrounding him, he gloomily watched the battle continue. He took note of the new additions, still too far to actually participate, but sailing steadily on nonetheless. Do those fools think they can make a difference now? Do they not realize what they're up against? No, but they couldn't, could they...

"Admiral?"

He looked up, a junior officer was looking at him quizically, by his posture, it was not the first time he'd addressed the Admiral.

"Excuse me, I was gathering wool."

"Yes sir, there's a marine chopper landing with a VIP, they say he needs to meet with you urgently."

The admiral murmured something under his breath, then, "All right, send 'em to my quarters."

The one thing the admiral liked about these new designs was that the ship's captain had a combination quarters and office just a short walk from the CIS, underneath the flight deck. The admiral estimated he had enough time to put on his nicer dress uniform before the VIP--undoubtedly some politician or member of the board to come "inspect" him and oversee the battle--arrived. And indeed, his door opened just as he was donning his hat, a silly contrivance whose purpose he never understood.

But as the admiral turned to face his visitor, his fake smile ready, the winded, sweating young man that faced him was not up to his expections.

"Admiral! Thank god! No time...recall the planes! Pull the whole group away, now!"

"What? Why? What's happened here?"

"Dammit, I don't have time to explain! The battle orders you got were forged, someone's hijacked the chain of command. You'll get more info later, just pull out now, you're killing the wrong people."

"Who are you?"

"Hawking, secretary of state," and with that he ran off, presumably back to his helicopter.

The admiral stood dumbfounded for a few seconds. Then, breaking a faint smile, he tossed his hat onto his bed, and went to tell his bridge crew the great news.

NATOPIA WROTE.
Commander Osev was dead, shrapnel from a gunboat that had the misfortune of being under an enemy bomb near the Carrier had pierced him through the skull. The Battleships Bravis, Deo, Astrum and Lux were destroyed by the 'super' ships of the Allied forces. The Empress-in-waiting had ordered a final slavo of Tomahawk fire in an attempt to fully knock out one of the 'super' cruisers. The results of the Submarine battles is currently unknown, but after that initial ramming by an Allied sub no further attempts have been made on Natopian non-submersibles by enemy submersibles. The air aspect of the battle would be the turning point of this battle, with 1 Imperial Carrier, Bombers from airfields in the capital city and 5 Lorpian Carriers facing off against the 2 Allied Carriers there was no way they could stop the sheer number of bombers from distracting enemy crews and damaging enemy ships. It was looking good for the Empire. Until that last act, that last traitorus act happened. The Lorpian fighters went down to re-fuel in their carriers, but they didn't come back out. In fact, the Carriers began turning and moving towards the Provast/Alerican fleets, and the enemy fleets did not attempt to destroy them...Now the tables had turned, crushing air superiority was now being levelled against the Natopian Empire and not against the rebellious factions of North Alerica. The battle was not over yet though, and the Natopians would be staying in it until it was finished.

In the end the Natopian flagship and its cruiser guard fell to the horde of Provast battle ships, and cruisers, and Lorpian fighters. The NAtopian Fleet suffered almost complete casaulties, with not one man escaping free. The majority of them were either killed or wounded, the flagship would not even surrender until Provast Marines boarded it only to find the commander dead. The naval battle off the coast was the longest, largest, most international and awe inspiring naval battle that ever ocured. With the allied fleet alone not including Lorpia, they had about 30 cruisers, from Alerica, Provast, the western front, and Onizuka, they had three Provast and western front Super battleships, and two regular ones, they had about 25 destroyers, 3 carriers, 20 subs, about 100 gunboats and anti air boats, and about 100 small craft. The battle at Sapientia used more shells and bombs in one day then any other complete naval battle in History. When the battle was over the Grand Provast fleet did what they had come to do they made an amphibious assualt on the main land outside the capital city of Sapientia. The battle had been hard fought, bloody and vicious, Provast lost about 10 destroyers, 3 cruisers, 1 carrier, 64 gunboats, 52 small craft, 1 Iowa class battle ship and the western front super battleship HAmburg lost all of its main turrets but one and took over 50% casualties, it was almost a ghost ship. Despite the loses of these men and many others especially Alerican, the Allied fleet prevailed, The NAtopians took the heavyist casualties and teh Allied fleet won the great battle of Sapientia won it, for the restoration of the true rector of Natopia, won it for the Great Provast Empire, WON IT FOR FREEDOM. As Patton said your job isnt to die for your country it is to make the other poor son of a bitch day for his. LONG LIVE THE EMPIRE, THE PROVASTIAN EMPIRE.

um, I lost 50,000 military personnell, as well as approximately 20 thousand casualties of crimes of war by Natopia's Imperial Party.

The Great Thesisme's military casualties total at ~120,000.
These include:

~75,000 lost defending(unsuccessfully) Natopia.
~35,000 lost defending North Alerica.
~10,000 lost driving the USSR invaders out of KoS.
Minimal loss of life seizing Foil as part of an investigation into the possibility of USSR spies in Foil's government. It was discovered that Foil still does not have a standing army.
No loss of civilian life; The Great Thesisme itself was not attacked.

Although the lose of life in Alerica was great, compared to other nations, we consider ourselves blessed.......it could've been far worse.

The Grendels have combed over the satellite imaging record of the Naval Battle at Sapientia and when they compared it to accounts made earlier by the Provast, Borderland Intelligence refered to the use of a previously unknown GodMod Class Battleship. Apparently, their guns are miraculously better than even the most modern missiles, despite lacking any rail guns or superguns, which modern military planners have devised to close the vast gap between guns and missiles. That and when faced with overwhelming air and missile attacks they just don't sink. When Naval Admirals were asked if they felt that this new GodMod Class represented a new threat on the seas, they mostly laughed, or as one Admiral stated to an amused audience:

"The GodMod Class Battleship might be a threat if I were in a fishing boat, but otherwise it's just sending good steel to the bottom of the ocean. The Provast Naval Leadership needs to get out of the wading pool of the 20th Century, let alone dive into the 21st. We were just surprised they didn't send any wooden ships powered by sails. The Grendel Admiralty even have bets waged about them going to war in dugout canoes, with bows and arrows, the next time North Alerica is involved in a War. After all, we've sure that the Provast Generals will lay claims that bullets just bounce off that birchbark."
