Something I thought I would try here.
This is, as the title implies, a wargame.
The thing I want to try is this:
This is open to ALL tech levels. A good modern vr fantasy should be interesting.
Can your Tiger I tanks beat my Dragon Engines? Or mayhaps your Laser tanks against my Mages? It dont matter, come one and all.
Im thinking, two teams, each of mixed tech levels.

THIS IS A GAME.
No damage done here counts, no diplomatic reprecussions or anything either.

Hmm? I seem to be thinking in medeival strategy again...Things took up so much less space back then...making changes...

Penguenia will send it's whole Homeguard force to participate. The Police should be able to handle all the invaders that aren't going to come :wink:

General Neesa Jade, Grand Commander of the Penguenain Imperial Guard
Penguenian Lady Guard (http://boards.gamers.com/messages/overview.asp?name=Penguenia)

All right, your in.
But the homeguard has not left, as I said, this is pure game. Nobody moves their forces or anything.

Is there any navy or other maritime actions allowed or places to have them

YAY... 200th post :p

No, unless you count a lake that you MIGHT be able to get a rowboat into :lol:

We'll show you how its done!!!!


We send:

20,000 ork boyz
1000 trukkz
500 tankz

1 gargant (in a word: youre screwed :lol: )

---Post deleted by NationStates Moderators---

Sure, what would a single team imply?

---Post deleted by NationStates Moderators---

Ok, Ill add you...

No, unless you count a lake that you MIGHT be able to get a rowboat into :lol:

good ill send my whole fleet over then and 5 additional aircraft carriers

JK

ill pass on this then, most o ny military is navy

Well, size doesnt matter, SC just sent twelve men.

Tilsitsin would like to compete with the following forces, if accepted for this wargame:

2nd Foreign Legion Corps (Mot), with 75,500 troops total, 165x OT-810, 80x (T)Pz-1, 56x L-540 SPAT, 36x PzH 155, 36x EA-24GT, 50x DART, 20x GEPARD

Should I leave the gargant at home, and instead sent more of other troops?

If my memory serves me right, Gargants aren't all that mobile. I could simply board it from the rear with ease. Though that big cannon on the front is divistating... I'd say keep it... for Gork and Mork :wink:

My guys are going to pwn all of you. Me and D0minaria are about to lay waste to everyone!

Don't get to overconfident....

Your elite squad could simply spend the battle JUST fighting the massive crew of the gargant. Of course it would make a good battle, your elites trying to destroy the gargant before it lays waste to all, kinda like "the guns of navarone"

LOL.. I just got a GREAT picture of that in my mind... :D

---Post deleted by NationStates Moderators---

Well, the Keldons can smash through quite a bit, being about seven feet tall and almost pure muscle, armed with a greatsword, and Yotian Warriors are damn hard to kill, being man-size robots, and I dont need to tell you what a Skyship is, do I?

We will start with the next person to join, or, if that person only sends twelve men, until the teams are even.

---Post deleted by NationStates Moderators---

My guys dont have guns, so no, I cant offer you reloads, that is, unless your guys want to convert to crossbows before the battle?

Ork shootaz are like somewhat smaller m-60;s :lol:


On the subject of a team infiltrating the Gargant, how would that work? Do the void shields prevent this or not..... hmm.....

Anyway, a giant mekanical ork the size of a large building gunning its way through screaming infantry is always a good sight, this battle will be fun either way :D

Ork shootaz are like somewhat smaller m-60;s :lol:

Void shields create a solid wall of black metallic energy. Large artillery can break through with ease though. But since when do gargants have void shields?

We'd be interested in joining, but was wondering the limitations to battle troops type and amount.

Indra, the limitatiosn to type are nil, within reason of course, if you happen to have an army of invincible gods, then no, they cant fight :)
The limit to the amount is 100,000 beings.

about Tilsitsin's entry

Whats wrong with your entry?

Whats wrong with your entry?

All the talk about huge buildings "walking" around shooting huge guns at everything has the legionaires spreading the ROUMINT like windfire... lol

Guess we shoulda bought that Warhound when it was offered...

All ork vehicles from Supa Stompaz up have "force fields", which are the ork evilient of said void shields..

Dont worry, the Tolarian Mages can make short work of that.

((To join, and spread Inquisitorial and Legionare chaos, or not to join. Or to track down KK and watch as his dwarves tear the greenskins to pieces))

Tolarian mages :roll: ... short work... um no


If you have arch mages then its an equal fight. The power of the waaagh focused in a gargant is a very powerful psychic unconsousness that would take more than a couple mages to overcome.

The best way is to simply pound it over and over again with artillery, or in your case .... fireballs, chain lightning, rolling thunder, blaze, etc...

OOC: or both. Just both send 50,000....beings....and I can get you on the same team.

So I take it space operations are open for tactics? If frowned upon we will refrain from using them and go with conventional weapons.

Tolarian mages :roll: ... short work... um no

How about ten thosand Tolarian Mages, the most powerful kind in Dominaria, plus any amount of summoned creatures?
(Can you say: Magnigoth Treefolk? :twisted: )

OOC: Mages can maintian one creature at a time, but they cant do anything while they are controlling it.

Tilsitsinian Foreign Legion officers discussing how cool it would be to see their MG-50s tearing holes into the greenskin ranks...

Would you like to change sides then?

Who, exactly, is on who's side anyhow?

If possible, but we will leave that up to you permitting balance of forces..

All right, Tilistin has changed sides.
Penguinia, see the first page...its got the list.
Lets see...could somebody on blue team increase their forces? Remember, this does not affect your country in any way, shape or form, your just using a sort of reflection of your forces...

This ought to be fun.. We are also committing the following from the Airforce High Command Reserves:

4th Command Air Attack Detachment with it's 3 Li-600/B-1 (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=73639&highlight=) gun fortresses for command/control/close air support..

Penguenia would like to add 1 Executor Class capital ship to the equation stocked with 600 Idolator Class space-atmospheric interceptors.

All right, but remember, if it leaves the atmosphere it is removed from the wargame.

Hmmmzz... it's too big to make atmospheric travel... all it is there for is to launch the fighters, but if no space tech is allowed, just the 600 fighters.

Argh, me laddy. We've come to take part in yer weargames. And the pansies of Roania harve polately asked us to command their soldiers, if that's okay with ye.

Khazad-Zar
500 Dwarven Sappers
8 Gyrocopters
7 Gimli Class Riverboats
2000 Dwarven Warriors
800 Slayers

Roania
5 legions ((5000 men. 4900 HOPLITE1 armored. 20 PM-77 Mecha. 50 Command units. 30 CENTURIONs))
400 Aerial Assault units ((200 Hawk Fighters, 200 LEO Bombers))
1000 Inquisitors

We are going to send in 1 armored division numbering 15,000 men all armed with technology based around the current time frame with a heavier emphasis on the tech almost ready to hit the Govt market so basically tech from now til about 2015.

plus 150 Apache Gunships, 2 AWACS, land based MDS, 3 squadrons of F-22s, 35s, 40s. All mixed.

Plus the normal reange of tanks, APCs, etc set with a division.

Right, added you...two or three.

The dwarven sappers begin tunneling to the orcish lines. The Roanians follow slowly...

OOC:
All right, the games have started. New players may still join, but only on the blue team, and only enough to even the teams out.
This is the planning phase, there is no actualy combat yet.

IC:
Urza pointed to several spots on the map.
"These are their weak points, here, across the lake, and here, through the forest, they might expect it, but even if they do, they will be hard pressed to stop us. As another point, Sniper Countries infiltration team should attack the gun platform we saw yesterday, a small team is much better suited to such and action than half of our force, now, does anybody else have suggestions?

"Argh, I say we just charge at them and blow them to pieces!" General Gimli said, sharpening his axe.

There was a thump at the end of the table. "No. This is a foolish plan." High Inquisitor General Markinson said, raising his fist from the wood. "A full bombardment must commence of their civilian population. Following that, Vampire Biochemical Bombardment must commense... what is it, you repulsive little man?" An aide whispered into his ear. "Oh. No chemical weapons, and no civilians."

"Exactly." Urza glances over the forces summary. "I see that somebody brought Artillary...is he here now?"

OOC: Ahhh, I wanted to fight the orcs.

We'll deploy 200 Marines to Blue Team.

The Marines are an elite fighting unit that high tech and high quality training to defeat Alibakkar’s enemies. They wear ACS developed by Cypher Ground Systems.

The ACS is a whole new kind of suit. Although it belongs to the category of powered armor, its better thought as a powered Battledress. The servo motor and motion detecting systems are the newest generation models which make it possible for the wearer of the suit to feel almost no difference at all to wearing the ACS or a Battledress. The servo motors also enhance the wearers strength and reflexes by over 800% for strength and 200% for reflexes, the reflex enhancing is made possible by the motion detecting systems sensitivity which detects the movements the wearer is about to make by detecting the neural impulses going from the brain to the muscles. The visual systems are also heavily enhanced. The wearer of an ACS suit can receive live visual feed and computer generated visual directly to his visor, the sensory, data handling, HUD and other systems on the suit excluding motion, are controlled by voice. The regular ACS suit contains over 200 different functions and the commander’s suit contains over 300 different functions to make the tasks critical to a commander easy to accomplish. The suit contains a wide array of different bio-monitoring systems linked to the suits central processing core. The wearer can issue morphine and certain other drugs quickly and efficiently. The internal layer of the suit, which separates the wearer from the armor, is a thin and elastic cover of textile, covering a layer of gel material. The gel helps the wearer to sustain impacts to his suit that otherwise might result into major damage to the body. The armor on the suit is a sandwiched combination of heavy composites and Battlesteel. This setup of protection gives the suit tremendous heat and kinetic energy resistance, the only place not protected by the heavy armor plating is the suit visor, which is made out of armorplast. The suit can either be sealed airtight, or set to recycle the air outside. The suit also carries 2 4-liter water tanks from which the wearer can drink thru a small tube extending to the wearers mouth.

The Marines carry several weapons, including a MK-70 Pulser Assault Rifle (12 extra clips), a MK-10 Pulser Pistol (6 extra clips), an AX2 Chainsword, 4 Smoke Grenades, 6 Fragmentation Grenades, 2 MAWs (90mm HEAT Medium Anti-armor Weapon), and 2 M18A2 Claymore Directional Mines and their detonators.

They also have Handless communicators for secure, encoded, clear transmissions with friendly units for 50 miles.

They undergo 3 years of physical training, team building, and bravery under fire; marksmanship, Grenade use, languages, Hand signals, unarmed combat, AX2 care and combat, Claymore use, Rifle Care, amphibious assault, Night Warfare, and Mountain Warfare. After that, they spend 2 months training with scenarios, a scenario a day. Before basic training, they spend 3 weeks getting used to the ACS.

I have decided that for overall balanced, and so that my nation doesn't godmod, that is will be a Supa-Stompa, not a Gargant. Still nothing to be scoffed at though...

What's a Supa Stompa?

OOC: You sure Grimgor? I mean, our side has about a million more people than yours...

What's a Supa Stompa?

Its an enourmous machine in the image of the ork gods Gork and or Mork.

OOC: You sure Grimgor? I mean, our side has about a million more people than yours...

The gargant wouldn't help against a 'million men' A gargant is equal to an entire army..............but an army is alot less than a million.........

"So, my fellow commanders, what do you propose we do? My forces specialize in coming in on dropships, yes all of them, and are trained to the standards of most countrys special forces," Raziel said, "I'd like an assessment on what you do best. My women can make a drop in the forest and halt their advance in the center, or I can send them behined their lines."

OOC: Yes, my Emperor is there. He participates in battle and is a masterful tactician.

OOC: You sure Grimgor? I mean, our side has about a million more people than yours...

Quality over Quantity.

ooc (for the sake of your sanity :lol: ):

The orks are great at assaults where it gets up close and personal. They are able to shrug off rounds from anything weaker than a light support weapon. The don't do prolonged fire fights to well. Ork vehicles (except for dreadnaughts, killa kans, stompaz etc..) are lightning fast and lightly armoured.

OOC: Your will be done, oh master of Orkishnessnessness. :lol:

A super stompa is still enourmous, it just isn't quite as huge as a gargant (great gargants are even bigger, and mega-gargants are the size of skyscrapers)

Of course i can't build those yet... but someday...... :twisted:

A Large company of Marines mysteriously appear on the battlefield, on a medium sized fort that somehow got there.

OOC: Is that okay?

OOC: Summary of Dominarian Forces:
10,000 Argivian Men-At-Arms: Basic foot soldiers such as you would see on a medieval battlefield, though slightly better equiped and trained, they wear partian plate armour and full chain mail, each carries a single handed longsword with a powerstone in the tip to increase killing power, they also carry a kite shapped shield.
5,000 Keldon Warriors: Big, mean, ugly. The Dominarian equivilant of vikings, these guys do NOTHING but fight, there entire lives. They wear partial plate, and the leaders (Witch Kings) wear full plate, all tie Colos hide smokesticks in there hair, this drives them into a killing frenzie and causes fear in other races. THey all carry massive longswords, and dont use shields, they fight until all their limbs are gone or until they die.

30,000 Yotian Soldiers
Insectoid robots, roughly Praying Mantis shape. They each have two arms, which end in scythlike appendages made of temered glass that can cut through just about anything. Damn hard to kill as well, with multiple redundancys in power, communications, and sensors.

100 Dragon Engines
A dragon that has been rebuilt in metal from the inside out. They have several weapons, including a steam breath that will instantly cook human flesh. Claws and tails and teeth are quite devasating as well.

50 Flying Dragon Engines
A dragon engine, but it flies.

150 Galleon Skyships
BIG skyships, they all carry large bore ray cannons that can melt steel at over a mile. Bombards and archer/ballisti crews on board as well.

200 Carrack Skyships
Midsized ships, these arent large enough for ray cannon, but still have bombards and ballisti.

500 Snow Skyships
'Fighters', they only carry ballisti, but they are very fast.

10,000 Dominarian Spearmen
Men-At-Arms, armed with spears.

30,000 Phrexian Shock Troops
Phrexians who converted after Yawgmoths death. Greyskinned and extremly hard to kill, they use claws and teeth as weapons.

4,000 Phrexian Behemoths
Think King Kong, in robot form, and your close.

10,000 Tolarian Mages
Master magicians, they fling fireballs and summon creatures and do all sorts of nasty things to you and your armies 8)

If you need more info, ask.

They are so going to die.

A Large company of Marines mysteriously appear on the battlefield, on a medium sized fort that somehow got there.

OOC: Is that okay?
OOC: The battle hasnt started, but each side is planning for its attack.

Dont be so sure Ali, a Phrexian has three brains, a Keldon wont even feel a bullet, and a mage will simply melt the bullets with a flame wall.

So how is Penguenia talking to us?

Like this:

How about Grenades? Claymores? 90mm HEAT rounds? Chainswords?

OOC:
The battlefield is multi-temporal. Please, if your going to post OOCly, put OOC: or (( or something before it, so we know.

Like this:

Hello

That isn't funny.

Anyway, I retract my previous statement. The Marines are loaded onto a Pelican and are preparing for takeoff.

When the thing does start, will we have forts and defensive structures already there?

Thats what armour is for, as well as large numbers. In any case, lets get IC here, waiting for a response from my fellow Red Teamers...
last post for the night, its ten o'clock here and I gotta get some sleep tonight, until I wake up, feel free to control my forces in a reasonable manner reds. Blues...I hope you die horrible slow deaths :D, night all.

OOC: Got it.

Urza:
We'll gentle...beings...does anybody else have a plan?

OOC:
C'mon people!
*kicks some heads*

umm........rush in an' bash you really hard over the head with our rifle butts?

OOC: *pats Grim on the head*

IC:
After a brief exchange with Urza the crews of the Snow class ships disembark and begin lobbing ballisti bolts and arrows at the Blue camp and the Men-At-Arms begin digging a trench system on the top and at the base of the hill.

OOC: If you guys dont want to do this, I will.

OOC: So can I move in now?

OOC: I would get your teams generals to agree with you first, but, if you want to, go.

IC:
The mages mount the hilltop and being casting spells of illusion and trechary on the field in front of the trenchwork, a blue shimmering forcefield rises in front of the workers.

Do we start out with some basic fortifications?

OOC:
Yes, on the opposite side of the hill you have some sort of fortified camp.

A Pelican ULTRA soars over the area at 13,000 Feet. Crossing over the Red Camp, they see several men in armor working on fortifications.

The Pelican reaches the Blue Base 8,800 Yards away after a few seconds. They come in for a smooth landing at the airstrip located there and begin to disembark.

OOC:
The vally is five miles wide...

So it's around 8800 Yards?

OOC:
*kicks himself in the head for not using metric*
Yes, 8800 yards. Or 316,800,000,000.00006 microinchs :lol:

Are you accustomed to Metric or Customary?

OOC:
Imperial. I am however, trying to get myself to think in metric...

What's imperial? I've never heard of that.

IC: Whitefox Company checks out their new home. They see several towers, and a thick steel wall. Approx. 52 men go man the towers, and the Company leaders check out the type of communications to the outside world they have. (OOC: That last part basically means: Will we be able to call in airstrikes?)

M-231 Mortars and MK-21 Tri-barrels are set up all over the perimiter, and a watch is established.

OOC: Imperial is inches, feet and yards...its got alot of names for some reason :P

am i a lil late to join in??

cuz this sounds good

OOC: Sure Jimmy, what are you sending?

i didn't really read all of this so i dont know if i can even use RL tech forces, if not i'll leave now

OOC: Imperial is inches, feet and yards...its got alot of names for some reason :P

Hmm, i'm American and refer to it as customary.

in england its called imperial

You can use RL forces Jimmy, but you can only send 100,000 men...and the only water nearby is a small lake, thats about ten feet deep...

lol

ok

i'll recall all but 50,000 men and all my fleet

So, your just sending 50,000 regular troops?

yup, they are extrmely well armed troops with all the latest weapons and armour

Ok, we are actually starting now, no more OOC talk unless its related to IC things.
Are either of my allies alive, by the way?

Urza looked up calmly.
"That would be me, mister..."

50 Marines begin setting up Claymore Mines in areas around the base.

---Post deleted by NationStates Moderators---

Noticing the marines working below, one of the lookouts on a Carrack class shouts to the captain.
"Sir! Theyre sett'n somethin up over thar!"
"Give them a couple of bombard rounds."
The ships ten bombard cannons swivle around and take aim, a few seconds later, ten shrapnel rounds are discharged, these explode ten feet above the marines heads, spraying two inch diameter steel balls down on the marines heads, along with shrapnel from the shells.

OOC: My guys, right?

IC: One Marine nearest to the ships senses an incoming round. He warns the other men in his platoon and most of them roll out of dodge. However, 4 of them are caught in the blast range, and are killed. 2 Are greatly wounded and are carried back to the Base.

OOC: They set up 28 Claymores around the base before ya'll got to them.

OOC: Yeah, your guys...did I mention the small ships firing ballisti bolts already as well?

IC:

The captain, noting the casualties and handing the message to the signalman, returns his ship to its patrol pattern above the red base.

Urza looks at the man.
"Well, part of the plan was a covert strike from the north, using the lake and scrub surrounding it as cover, infiltrating the camp and causing as much trouble as possible, does that sound good to you...gentlemen?"

---Post deleted by NationStates Moderators---

"All right, this is our camp, you will be taken to the north end of the vally, either on horse or whatever other transport you may have, then you make your way to the stream, follow its course down to the lake, if you are detected at this time you will be extracted by a orni- err...helicopter, or skyship, and we will try a differnt plan, once your at the lake, make your way to the enemies camp, we have found several gaps in their patrol patters." Urza produces several scrolls and hands them over "Those are close up details of the enemies base, with the patrol times and patterns marked, I suggest you memorize them. Once inside the base, your primary target will be the..." Urza pulls out the known forces summary "'supa stompa', the large mech in the center of the camp, disable or destroy it, after that its pretty much free reign, take out as much as you can until the odds become too bad, then send up a flare or radio us, the main attack will begin and a skyship or helicopter will pick you up." He finishes drawing the rout on the map.
"Questions?"

---Post deleted by NationStates Moderators---

"Right, we will send 25 of our mages and 25 foot soldiers, not Keldons, they only have one tactic, that being charge...but Men-At-Arms or spearmen would work...we will arrange a distraction to occur just before you reach the hill crest to get their guard away from your location."

"Yes, they can..."
OOC:
Logging out for the night, c'yas

---Post deleted by NationStates Moderators---

can i just ask who im need to attack and who are my allies....if any..............

First post Jimmy, its got a list of both teams and their forces.

I have decided to release a spore of ultra-fast-breeding moss int the middle of this unruly mess.

The moss especially likes the kind of tight corners and sharp edges almost all weaponry seems to possess, which it's the devil's own job to keep clean.

I predict standstill by this time tomorrow, followed by a rapid outbreak of fistfights as the suddenly useless weaponry all assumes the status of bludgeons.

Hee hee hee hee hee

i see

but i have a problem i was not very clear with my previous post (withdrawing men) i still want 50,000 combat troops but i did not intend to withdraw my tanks and other equipment

i apologise for the lack of clarity in my post

well i just released a spore that kills this moss

hehehehe

OOC:
Ok, Ill put the tanks back in, now please, lets actualy RP here...

ok, 14 of my SU-37 1800's are flying around above the combat area loaded with air to air and air to ground ordnance. They will attack as soon as the enemy makes his move

they will be at half fuel when the first enemy makes his post

The NCOs in charge sit in a concrete room under the main comm station. An aid walked into the room as they were discussing ideas for an offensive.

"Sir, these were taken 10 minutes ago by the Maxus." The aid dropped a stack of photos onto the table. The photos showed probe photos of the enemy position. "They have skyships on constant patrol, and they are heavily fortifying their location."

The Luietenant Commander in charge looked at the photos, and then picked up another piece of paper on the table. He studied the two for a few minutes and then said, "Something's wrong. Get me overview scans for 5 miles and graph it with 300 Feet blocks."

---Post deleted by NationStates Moderators---

Three groups of three mages each stand in circles in the middle of the Red camp, a green mist forming around their heads. Slowly, the mist sinks to the ground and takes form.
A few seconds later a huge Thorn Elemental steps over the hill and lumbers toward the blue camp, flinging three foot long shafts of iron wood at the entrenched blue team. A few seconds later two magnigoth treefolk rise up, each as tall as a skyscraper, and step over the hill as well, making their way to the camp. In the Treefolks branches, Dominarian archers fire arrows and hurl rocks at the enemy.

OOC:
Theyre summoned creatures, and I think three mages each is quite a fair trade, once the creatures die the mages are freed up though, and I have 250 infantry in each Magnigoth.
Hows that for a distraction SC?

They didn't need satellites. They didn't even need Zoomviews. They saw it coming up from the ground five miles away.

"Holy..."
"WTF is that?!"
"Our father, who art in heaven..."

The NCO was actually one of the first to see it, as he was inspecting the towers. He got on his comm and told every Marine in the camp, "All stray marines, get in the bunkers and ready your MAWs. All towers Lock Fire on those... things. I want nuclear rounds coming down all across the valley, boys. Let's show those cokfaces the Information Age."

As ordered, every Marine not in a bunker or tower got in one. Patrols were stopped. 8 Mortar Teams rigged up their laser-guidance systems and saw several massive creatures flinging bolts at their position. They loaded 25 Isoton Rounds.

One of the Magnigoths opened its mouth and roared, huge limbs creaking in the breeze, the archers on the front let a flight of powerstone enhanced arrows fly, striking the enemy with supercharged arrows, the Thorn elemental reached the camp first, its legs riddled with holes where it had stepped on a claymore, and began throwing more of its ironwood spikes.

Back in the camp three more mages gathered and began chanting, this time the skies themselves seemed to be affected. It began to rain, the skies grew black, and a huge face with hair of lighting and a voice of thunder appeared, reaching down with hands of pure energy it grasped for the planes below it and send waves of lighting down on the camp.

OOC:
Magnigoth Treefolk:
BIG walking trees, the bark is ironwood, damn near indestructable, they are comparativly slow, but still, they get along fairly well. Obviosly, they are somewhat treelike, but take a humanoid appearance as well, arms and eyes and a mouth, but they move about on their roots.

Thorn Elemental:
More humanoid than treefolk, this is essentialy a bunch of brambles givin sentience and form, they use quick growing spikes as weapons that can be thrown or used in melee, each is roughly twenty feet tall.

Thunder Elemental:
Its a cloud.

MEssage to SC forces:
Here are the plans, nothing is labled intelligably, but we have marked what look like power sources and control areas, as well as important servos and comm equipment.

[I have no idea, something from Warhammer I presume, ask the Orc when he gets back on]

The Arrows bounce off of the titanium walls and several MK-21s open up on the ranks of archers, blowing several dozen away. The Mortars open up on the remaining elementals and the valley is soon a valley of Bright lights, massive heat, and moans of pain.

9 Marines think quickly and form a barrage against the Magnigoth's head with their MAWs, sending Fire and metal shards into the creature.

OOC: How tall is a Magnigoth?

OOC: Theyre 500-750 feet tall, and the archers are IN the trees, not on the ground, have I mentioned that powerstone arrows are just as powerful as bullets?

IC:
The Magnigoth roars in anger, and swipes at the marines with its massive hands.
The other shakes its head, trying to clear a fire in its upper branches. Soon small greenish yellow globs being to fall, saporlings, these burst on the blaze and slowly extinguish it, the remaining saporlings ooze toward the opposing lines, drowining soldiers in thier mucousy bodies.

OOC:
Saporlings:
Tree sap with minor sentience, its sort of like a very smart bacterium, they are pretty much immune to bullets and flame, since bullets tend to pass through them, and flames dont catch, the best way of dealing with them is do blow them up, or otherwise seperate their 'core' from the rest of the body.

OOC:
Got any threes?

The SU's are running low on fuel now but have seen the beginnings of the battle below but open fire with ASM's and freefall bombs on megnigoth

20 missiles and 6 bombs are fired on the massive beast but before more could be fired the fuel warnings began creeping up and the planes return to base to refuel


30 troops armed with SR-21 sniper rifles begin firing at the archers in the trees (they can see due to NVG and IFG goggles)

another 50 troops begin firing RPG rounds at the tree things u sent (i forget the name) but have no idea of the effect due to this being a totally new enemy

Thank the lord. My allies are showing up.

All of the Marines are in bunkers. Besides, it doesn't really matter. The ACS can stop virtually any round.

IC: In the same tower, the Commander looks over the walls. "This isn't pretty. Boys, light up the entire forest and valley within range with HE, every third round being a nuke. Marines, stay in your bunkers, but prepare for a breach." The MK-21s continue to blast away at the massive creatures, even after they saw bombs hit them from their allies.

OOC:
Stupid bloddy logs...I SURE WISH MY ALLIES WOULD HELP HERE

OOC:
*kicks logs*

One Magnigoth is nearly cut in half by the barrage, taking most of the fire, it topples, killing most of the archers, though two or three are seen limping toward friendly lines. The second Magnitoth is hit several times, but not anything lethal, and the Thorn Elemental doesnt appear to have been hurt.
Up in the sky, the Thunder Elemental reaches down and begins swatting planes toward earth or hurling thunder at them, and the Thorn Elemental begins to hurl its spikes upward.
Soon the downed Magnigoth disintigrates into a green mist and is blown away, the three mages in the Red camp sag and are taken off to their tents to rest.
The archers in the surviving tree begin firing at the Jimmy marines, and soon the magnigoth reaches the blue teams bunker system, and settling its entire weight on the bunker, beings to slowly crush it.

(OOC: Dont tell me the bunkers can hold up to that much tree :roll: )

more marines arrive and due to the lack of effectiveness of the snipers they start firing Pocket Propelled Grenades from their LAW (light anti armour weapon) tubes into the trees that cover the archers.

many of the snipers were killed by the deadly barrage of arrows and the few survivors run back into the faltering bunker. Many of the men inside are using everything they can to prop up the roof for more strength but the immense weight of magnigoth keeps the roof slowly crumbling.

nearly 500 troops run out side and fire all they have at the massive beast, M-60 machine guns, P-90's, M-4's, RPG's, some even throw grenades. But then two tiger tanks roll out of the bunker, and begin firing depleted uranium penetrator rounds into the beast

oh yes and 6 SU's are brought down by D0minaria's attack

The attacks bring another roar from the Magnigoth, after settling fully on the bunker it reaches down with one great clawed arm and beings sweeping it through the marines. The penetrator rounds have little effect, they seem to simply pass through the tree, hardly doing any damage.

(OOC: It doesnt bleed, and theres no crew to kill.)

oh its a tree!

why didn't you say so.....well u probably did

the remaining marines crack open the flame throwers!

21 deaths from the previous attack

Noting the fire on its roots the Magnigoth shakes its boughs again, more saporlings fall, bursting and covering the flames in water and sap. The surviving saporlings set on the men with flamethrowers, enveloping and suffocating them.

Back in the camp the outposts note that the attacks are succesful, the Thorn Elemental is currently hurling spikes into the enemies camp, and the thundercloud elemental is busy with some planes.
THe Keldon warriors suddenly spring up from the forest.
"KELLLDDD!!!!!" Comes the cry to the enemy lines as ten thosand feet begin the charge to the enemy, bringing massive greatswords to bear.
On the hill two thosand mages unleash fireballs and acid clouds at the enemy line, more being summoning creatures, and the Yotian Warriors begin an advance of metal and gears.

The Skyships pull off, but soon return with Galleon Class ships behind them, these open up with Ray cannons, unleashing cleansing fire of 10,000 beams of pure energy. The Carrack class descend as well, from straight above, hurling powder bombs at the fortifications and troop concentrations. As soon as the Galleon class are above the camp thin black lines of rope drop and the Phrexian Shock Troops descend, a biting clawing mass of grey flesh, wielding black swords or small powerstone crossbows, or nothing at all.

Behind all this the main force, made up of the remaining troops begin to move forward, Urza himself hovers over the enemy camp, droping fireballs or lighting where it is needed.

the surviving jimmy the great troops and armour, break and run under orders from the commandant but as a fighting retreat, placing thoussands of mines behind them to deter pursuit

All remaining fighters launch and provide air cover for the ground forces
