Famicon will pay. (WAR; Closed RP)

29-10-2003, 11:03
(ooc: offspring of http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=75445 )

The Maxxian Freedom Army command had been watching the news. The had seen the executions. They were filled with sorrow.
The MFA had assembled fully. Guerrilla tactics, terrorism, it had all been to no avail. Outright war would be the only option. Two million of good, honest men, armed from head to toes, stood their, ready to attack.
Horace Baldwin, freshly escaped from prison, spoke before his men.

"Today, the battle will be ours! The Famiconian rats will learn that they were wrong to mess with us! They will learn the full meaning of our WRATH!"

The crowd rejoiced and, while chanting "MAXXIA WILL PREVAIL", boarded the large trucks that would take them to their objective: the Koopa Corporation factories on Maxxian soil, for now owned by Famicon, but not for long.
29-10-2003, 11:21
The trucks had arrived. Five thousand men unloaded. The other one million ninety-five thousand kept driving. They were needed further south.
The armed guards were caught at complete unawares. More than one thousand guards had never been necessairy to ensure a factory's safety. And now they stood against fivefold their might. They were soon overpowered. The first Koopa Corp. factory of many was now in Maxxian control.


It had begun.

OOC:
You shouldn't determine your enemy's losses, it's a rule in roleplaying, otherwise you will be deemed to be godmodding and ignored.
29-10-2003, 11:31
after intense deliberation, The Rogue Nation of United Rice Farmers have decided to throw full support behind the Maxxians.
29-10-2003, 11:35
(OOC: that's ok, he's been given permittion to RP the deaths of the various security guards.)

"We condemn these actions, and request for the Maxxian government to react to these terrorists. If they fail to keep our properties safe, we will see ourselves forced to act, not only on the MFA, but also on Maxxia itself. You are warned."

-President McRippa
29-10-2003, 11:40
An official statement by Elder High Councellor of Maxxia was released to the Famiconian and international press.

"Because of a sorrowful accident, terrorist leader Horace Baldwin has had a chance to escape. Though we condem his actions, we stand by his ideology, and as such will only take measures if Maxxian civillians are harmed."
29-10-2003, 11:42
"Alright then. If you want to play it that way, we see no other choice but to take measures into our own hands. Mr. Doe: send Naìn's Batallion. Mr. Curry: contact Shirk. If it is war they want, war they shall have!"

-President McRippa
29-10-2003, 11:54
While the respctive governments of Famicon and Maxxia were bickering over wether or not the Maxxians should take action against the MFA, they had not stopped their agenda. During the brief time between the first attacks and Famicon's vocal reactions, another two oil raffinaries and an arms factory had been conquered. Some four thousand civilians working for the Koopa Corp. had been killed, many of them Dwarves from Khazad-Famicon.
29-10-2003, 11:56
we request permission to send 10,000 of our special forces into the battlefield for training in real war conditions.

(OOC: on which side will they fight?

neither side, it will be called "operation Enemy Territory"

(OOC: what exactly will you be doing then? just offing every non-forcian you see?)


well, yeah.. but not civilian targets.
29-10-2003, 12:36
We are griefed by this news and hope that the Famiconian saviours will take down some Maxxian rats for our sake! The deaths of of our brethren working for the Koopa Corp. will not go unavenged!
29-10-2003, 12:41
We request for more security measures to be taken by Famicon. Our factories are falling like flies because are guards are forced to fight forces sometimes ten times as high as themselves!

General Shirk's troops, the 1st Infantry Devision, had arrived at the rendez-vous point. There, Shirk met up with General Naìn Hammersmith. Naìn would be in command of this joint operation. His Batallion, consisting of two million Dwarves was loyal to only him and President McRippa himself, and Naìn had the most battle experience anyway. After a brief meeting concerning the battleplan, the Generals ordered the two and a half million troops to board the carrier planes again, and headed for Maxxia.
29-10-2003, 12:53
(OOC: the 1st Devision consists of 250,000 men armed with Remington 11-87 shotguns and 250,000 men armed with FN P90 SMGs

Naìn's Batallion consists of 1,000,000 Dwarves armed with FN Minimi Para machine guns, 500,000 armed with the Remingtons, 450,000 armed with the P90s and 50,000 snipers carrying Sako TRG-42 sniper rifles.

All troops also carry two FN Five-seveN Tactical pistols as side-arms.

pics and descriptions(if necessairy) can be found at http://www.freewebs.com/famicon/ (temporary site) )
29-10-2003, 13:23
After half an hour of flight, the carrier planes landed on the southern-most part of Maxxia, which was still more or less controlled by Famicon. The troops unloaded, and spread out over the territory.
29-10-2003, 13:43
So Whose Evil And whoses bad?i wanna join this war!

you have access to my storefront now to get some weapons if you need:)http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1933730#1933730
29-10-2003, 14:03
(Thanks for the compliments :P but I think that I might have to get the 2nd Devision involved now too ... )
29-10-2003, 14:05
A communiquée has been sent out by Horace Baldwin, leader of the MFA.

"We kindly thank our brothers of Nakjo to join the good cause. But we are well-equipped with AK-47's, so we have no need for additionel arms."
29-10-2003, 14:06
(OOC: the terrain is not suited well for motorized vehicles)
29-10-2003, 15:08
The snipers had moved into position. The rest of Naìn's Batallion were spreading out over the few hundred factories that were not yet conquered by the MFA. Shirk's men acted as security for the snipers, in groups of ten per sniper, five armed with shotguns and five with sub-machine guns.

Shirk and Naìn were discussing potential battle plans and scenarios in a tent far behind the frontlines. A message from one of the frontline teams came in."Sir, far in the distance we can see trucks coming towards us. They appear to be from the MFA."

Shirk and Naìn spoke almost in unison, as great strategical masterminds often think alike. "Let them come!"
29-10-2003, 15:38
The Rogue Nation of The United Rice Farmers are prepared to mobilize on command.
Do you want us to help you Maxxia?
Five Civilized Nations
29-10-2003, 15:38
Overhead, two Five Civilized Nations spy planes glided over the clouds, watching the war...
29-10-2003, 15:51
United Rice Farmers, your presence is not needed, as we will prevail even without your participation, and your help would be miniscule. But thank you for the offer. We will not forget.

From over the North-Famiconian Sea, the selfproclaimed Famiconian name for the body of water in which Maxxia was located, a blurry blue spot could be seen in the air.
In the mean time, the Maxxians were getting closer to the Famiconian frontlines. Koopa Corp. employees had been warned to retreat behind the frontlines, and the guards of the few free factories that lay before it had retreated to help guard the other factories.
29-10-2003, 16:41
The Maxxian cohort halted. They were a few kilometres from the frontlines. From here out, their trucks wouldn't do much good. The buildings were too close together to drive with more that two trucks next to eachother. They would be sitting ducks, just waiting to be blown up two at a time. The MFA stepped out of their trucks. 1,500,000 men they were, the rest being stationed in the factories up northwards already captured. They moved forward in small groups, trying not to be spotted by hiding between the buildings. Sometimes one of the groups would enter some of the factories to take it over. To their surprise, most of the factories were empty. Good. That would mean less casualties for them.

But where were the promised reinforcements from Nakjo? They had promised 750,000 men, men they needed were they to stay alive. One kilometre from the frontline they halted, now 1,250,000 men, though plenty more guarding the factories behind them. And they waited. Waited for Nakjo to come.
29-10-2003, 17:25
The Dictatorship of Apparitions sees that Famicon should overpower Maxxia if they receive no help. We see fit to send 200, 000 troops to Maxxia, They should arrive prepared in two weeks time (OOC: maybe two days RL? it's your decision Maxxia).
29-10-2003, 18:07
OOC::: K, seeing the actual goverment of Maxxia isn't involved... This is a rebel army people.. your supporting rebels =P Although everyone knows maxxia is behind this.. Anywho...

Is this war taking place near water? If so a certain warship might show up there. We don't want to have famicon suddenly backstabbing Maxxia now do we?

Next question, are there rivers here? If so some amphibious vehicles might show up, without bearing any resembelmants from whom they were sent though...

IC::: We support our ally Maxxia, and will take action as soon it's invaded. There for reinforcements have been send on route.

OOC::: I've send 50 giglamesh tanks. And one of my submarines has taken up post outside the waters there.

IC(only for maxxia):: We are asking for permission to send you 50 fighters and bombers for protection. They will be needed space on your airports.

Spokesmen of The Free Land of Lunoris
29-10-2003, 18:55
(OOC: there are no rivers in the viscinity. The fighting is done in an industrial area, where the buildings are too close for tanks or other vehicles. it's a bit far from the sea too, but you might be able to use your submarine if I am forced to retreat far to the south :lol: :lol: )
29-10-2003, 19:00
(ooc: Maxxia is poor. we barely have one helicoptre. we have no airports.)


A message was aired through the ether.
"We kindly thank our brothers in Apparitions to join the good cause. We will need all the troops we can get."

(OOC: but not too much, I don't want to risk winning ;) )
29-10-2003, 19:13
The Famiconian forces braced themselves, concentrated, waiting for the Maxxians to come. They were spying on the Maxxian trucks with binoculars, and therefore could see them coming from kilometres away. But suddenly, the trucks stopped, and the soldiers moved further on foot.

Good. This way, the snipers can take them out earlier. Less work for the other soldiers.

The Maxxians swarmed over the terrain in little groups, some moving into the factories.

Great. Devide and conquer. We'll off those later.

Suddebly, they stopped. They seemed to be waiting for something. But what? Reinforcements maybe?

We'll just pick 'em off from here. Damn. We should've brought more snipers!
29-10-2003, 20:18
The Maxxian forces were still waiting for their reinforcements, but they were being pestered by the Famiconian snipers. In just more than two hours, twentythree thousand good men had lost their lives by Famicon's bullets. They had to do something, and they had to do it now.
29-10-2003, 20:40
(OOC:Meh, my forces can get there now, as well as they get there any other time.)

The supreme military commander of Apparitions, Boris Iltofski sat in the helicopter and thought for a moment.

"Boris?"

"Yeah?"

Boris looked at the assistant commander, he was young and he had just come into the military. He had become assistant commander quite quickly, because he had a political background. He didn't actually have a political title, but he used to have some sort of influence over the nation's leader Yakton Uptoni. Because of this Yakton made him assistant commander. He had wanted the military to help out the Smurfian empire against the Chaosians, but Yakton had managed to break the will that the assistant commander, he called himself Ghost, had held over Yakton in the past. Instead, Yakton sent forces to the Rukemian rebels and most recently to the Maxxians.

"I can't help but think we're on the wrong side of this one."

"Oh, come on Ghost, you're the one who always wants to help the rebels, the smurfs and the rukemians. You can't tell me that Famicon are the ones we should be helping."

"I know, but the Maxxians seemed like they were looking for an excuse to cause a war. As soon as that Famicon politician called them his colony, they wanted to declare war."

"The Maxxians have been oppressed for years by the Famicon nation"

"We have no proof of that, and the more I think about it, the more I think we should be turning against the Maxxians."

"Then stop thinking about it."

"But-"

"Just shut up Ghost."

Ghost wasn't used to not being in control of the nation. He decided he would help these rebels for now, but he needed to get some control, so he enlisted in the army, and that was all he could do for now.

"Here we are."

Ghost looked outside the window. He saw that they had arrived. He stepped out of the helicopter, and saw the Maxxian army.

(OOC: The whole point of this is for Ghost to at some point take control of the army and attack the Maxxians.)
29-10-2003, 20:43
(OOC: but not too much, I don't want to risk winning ;) )
OOC: Do you want me to send less than 200 000? (And if I attack you, you'll stand less of a chance of winning)
29-10-2003, 20:47
(OOC: but not too much, I don't want to risk winning ;) )
OOC: Do you want me to send less than 200 000? (And if I attack you, you'll stand less of a chance of winning)

OOC: 200,000 will do just fine. But I think I have enough "allies" for now. So if any other nation wants to help me, please refrain of doing so for a few pages. You'll find that I have some more tricks up my sleeve, and not all is what it seems.
29-10-2003, 21:21
(OOC: but not too much, I don't want to risk winning ;) )

OOC::: *sighs* You still have that chance. And you have to graps that chance. I'm thinking about doing some more things. Like call in some extra reinforcements. Anywho, lets see what is gonna happen after this.

IC:: During the night two helicopters approached. They beared the sign of the MFA(Something that makes sure they aren't shot down). While flying over the MFA main front line base. A figure can be seen jumping out of one of the helicopters. He seemed quite large, halfway during its flight two bat like wings were stretched out. It used those to sail to the ground. It landed right in front of the MFA base. It face was something out of a nightmare, and he was dressed in something that seemed like it could stretch quite alot. It openend it's jaws.

"I'm here for your anyone who is in charge here, we have some buisness to discuss." It says in a horrible voice.
30-10-2003, 00:16

Horace Baldwin looked horrified, but eventually overcame his fear. "What do you want?"

(OOC: the MFA will not be amongst the winning parties. What will happen once the real army takes over, is still undecided.)
31-10-2003, 17:48
OOC::: Is that your leader? I'm gonna pretend like it is.

IC::: "We've come to lend you a little hand." Slowly the bones started shifting. The wings on its back shrink and disapear. Its face started to make sense again. His claws became normal hands again. And his body looked like that of a normal man. "We are a elite strike force. We are till some height at your disposal. Only, do not ask who send you. That is of no importance." The men was quite beautifull now. He looked Baldwin straight in the face.
31-10-2003, 18:18
(OOC: it is.)

IC: Great. We can use a little help. As you can see, we're being picked away like flies, even though we're highly conceiled here. It's just crawling with snipers. But that's ok. Tomorrow, when all the reinforcements have arrived, we're going to strike.

So, can we do something at night? We have to go and find a shelter for during the day, we can't operate during it. So, if you got a assingment, you better tell us, so we can do something tonight."

(OOC: yes I'll be off as well. Don't forget the frontline consists of 2 million pissed of dwarves with guns :twisted:

although they are somewhat devided between the few hundred factory buildings, so if you attack one factory with a reasonable force, you *could* be successful)

OOC:: Can't rp that... I can't let you take hits.. And this is a elite force.. Meant for taking out generals and stuff... ow and guns don't really work. They are vampires, guns normally don't do a lot against them... not much anyway.

Well, you'll have to chop our heads off.. ussually kills us... But mate.. this is a stealth team.. I'm not planning on letting your dwarves notice us.. unless they can see invisible persons...

well.. not invisible... Let me try to explain how obfuscate works:

The person is still there.. But ignored, he is errased from your haed. So, you will not bump against him, but will go around him without noticing you do so. That's more or less how it works...

This is a message to anyone who can hear this in the current conflict.
Ive been watching the news recently and have seen this horrible war starting. I plead to all nations, stop this violence. If you stop now, ill give you our first 50 SS units created by JD Technical. If the fighting escalates then my nation will send in our peace-keeper forces to try and stop this. I know that it wont help much since i can only send about 5000 men, but i'll do anything i can to try and stop this. Once more, i beg you to stop this.

OOC::: Officially Lunoris isn't involved. All it did was send troops to maxxia to guard it.
02-11-2003, 13:49
We aren't going to try and actually attack anyone! We will, if it comes to it, simply send in our peace-keepers to anywhere thats under attack to try and discourage further violence. Now that it is operational, our small space fleet is trying to position itself above this area to provide support. Due to the high costs of attacking from orbit, we will only use it in absolutely desparate emergencies. If it comes to it, i'll have to ask my boss, Jant D'arvus, to let me send in additional forces. I once more beg you, please stop this violence.

OOC: read before you post.
1. The Maxxian government is not involved, so you can't support them. This is terrorists I'm dealing with. And from what I've been telegrammed, when the government DOES get involved, troops supporting the terrorists will not be on their side.

2. The Maxxians have acknowledged to being too poor to HAVE an airport. So your helicopters can only land on large open plains.

3. Your troops would be like a drip of water on a hot plate. A LOT more troops are involved than you can handle right now.

4. Maxxia has, OOCly, requested for no more nations to act as their allies.
02-11-2003, 21:03
Sorry then Famiconian.

I thought the maxxian would be glad to get some help, and I thought the maxxians unofficialy condemned backed the terrorists.
I am not interested in playing with millions of troops, more interested to really rp the fights: just wanted to help the maxxians to get back some of their factories, a little training for my special ops and an occasion to help an ideological brother.
:cry:
02-11-2003, 21:39
As i have said before, my company will not be backing any side. We will try to stop ANY military attack against either side in case we can make you reconsider this war. As ive said, our forces are small, but we will do what we can. We have also finished deploying our small space fleet and are currently attempting to buy some armoured vehicles to help in this was. If one of the nations here is the aggressor, i will most likely not favour them in a conflict. May i ask who the aggressor is?
-Dan Eskar, JD Technical, Weapons and Troops division

OOC: Oh, and my forces could be persuaded to make life a little easier for the stonies. Remember, if we think that your cause is justified, then we might decide to help out. And with my space fleet able to give a small bit of support, i think a few distractions can be made to let the original sides have some smaller fights :twisted:

General Shirk had gotten Doe's special command. The war would soon be at an end. And what kind of end! The soldiers and security guards quietly withdrew further and further away from the frontlines, taking everything of importance with them, sneakily making sure the Maxxians didn't notice them. Before the sun came up, there would already only be a couple of snipers left, making sure the Maxxians couldn't go too far in to Famiconian-claimed territory.

The day broke. The snipers had also left, and the Maxxians started their assault. Euphorically, they didn't even notice that the few security guards the had to kill, were not Famiconian at all, but Maxxian prisonners of war, in disguise and drugged(so they would not try to help the other Maxxians). The MFA took over more and more factories, splitting up in smaller and smaller groups in the process. Soon Maxxia would be theirs again. Or would it? Being overjoyed, they failed to see the blue blurry figures far away in the sky coming closer and closer to them ...

General Frank Dalton smirked. Riding on his Dragon Wingfoot, he could oversee the battlefield.
The information Doe and Shirk provided was accurate. These nuts wouldn't know proper tactics if they bit them in the behind. I wanna bet they don't even keep radio contact. Hehe. What a fine leader they picked.
Dalton signaled Wingfoot's Pilot, and the Dragon picked up the pace, flying more downwards too, towards the battlefield. Two thousand fourhundred ninetynine other Dragons behind him followed the lead. One other Rider blew a trumpet. Soon, it would begin.

Colonel MacNamara heard the trumpet. Dalton had begun his charge. It had been a great idea to split up the Fleet, one part coming up from the South-East, the other from the South-West.
We'll close them right in, they'll have no way to go now!
MacNamara signaled his Pilot, and blew a trumpet himself. The other two thousand fivehundred Dragons made their assault. Minutes later, all hell broke loose ...

Private Kandinski woke up. Today Horace Baldwin planned a huge attack. The reinforcements from Nakjo and Apparitions had arrived, and rumour had it that soldiers from up in Barryville were spotted moving down south.
After a short breakfast of dry bread and water, Kandinski's platoon was sent out to take a small arms factory close to the frontline together with some other platoons and a group of Apparition soldiers, led by a mysterious man named "Ghost".
The raid went flawless. Nobody in the platoon got killed, nay, none were wounded even. Kandinski found this a bit strange. The mission had gone too easy. He tried to warn his lieutenant, but he was to euphoric to listen. They took two more factories that morning, leaving but ten men in each to guard it. And then... all hell broke loose. Fireballs rained from the sky, decimating soldier after soldier. When Kandinski looked up, he saw blue dragons, hundreds of them. On them, were riders, armed to the bone, shooting at everything that wasn't on fire yet and moved. Only by chance did he escape, for he ended up running chaotically between the group of Apparition soldiers led by Ghost, who were strangely left alone. He ran with them to a place they thought was safe, but was hit in the shoulder by a sniper bullet. He barely made it to the hide-out, and then ... all went black before his eyes, and he passed out.
