OOC: The last thread got deleted when I made a 5-post and tried to delete it. Somehow while deleting the extra posts the whole f*cking thread got deleted.
Anyway, here's the post I'd made:
IC: The leading regiments of the armoured division were being mauled. 3 out of 5 tanks in these regiments were destroyed or damaged, but keeping with their orders they pressed on.
As the tanks pressed into the enemy lines, the 25th Mechanized Division began to arrive behind the engaged armoured division. The 25th had suffered casualties in IH air attacks on the way to the battle zone, but mobile SAMs with the division had returned the favour to the enemy aircraft ( 45 Mobile SAMs and 22 M113 Vulcans with the 25th ). Immediately, the M1A1s and M2 Bradleys of the 25th began to take up positions above the enemy on the northern ridge of the valley. From there they began to fire their 120mm cannons and TOW missiles into the enemy regiments below. The infantry with the division also took up positions around the armour, firing TOWs and Eryxx missiles into the enemy armour.
10 miles away, the 45th Armoured Division suddenly changed direction from northwest to due west. IP high command had sent down orders for the 45th to attempt to outflank the enemy forces engaged in the valley and attack them from the south east, while hopefully cutting off supply lines. 3 out of 6 of the F-15E Squadrons had been assigned to maintain air superiority over the 45th and an additional SAM battalion had been assigned to the division.
Above the battlefield, the other 3 F-15E squadrons began to engage enemy aircraft. Screaming in behind them, 4 F-117s drop several laser guided bombs into the enemy tanks below. From over the northern ridge, 16 A-10s swoop low over the ground, engaging enemy tanks with their 30mm cannons, then dropping a mixture of cluster munitions and napalm on the enemy rear areas where command posts are likely to be.
At the same time, army intelligence officers listening to enemy radio broadcasts triangulate several enemy artillery positions. Immediately MLRS's and 155mm howitzers begin to fire on the various locations. The three 340mm artillery cannons also begin to open fire on the enemy formations forming up behind the currently engaged armoured division.
The IP High Command began calling in aircraft from all over the front to begin moving to this sector and engage enemy ground and air forces. Sea bases aircraft, strategic bombers and reserve fighters begin to fuel up and get ready to move to the battlezone. One particular aircraft, a B-2 Bomber is loaded with only one bomb and takes off, circling 100 miles from the battle zone, waiting for orders to move in and drop it's special payload.
OOC: I want this to be a major engagement with several divisions from both sides involved. This battle is supposed to cripple the offensive force of the IP Armed Forces, but still do a fair amount of damage to the enemy. The B-2 is armed with a 50 megaton nuclear bomb, I don't think I'll drop it but I'm just letting you know it's there for fair warning and so you don't go and nuke me into the ground if I do drop it.

BUMP

OOC: LOL and tagged, cant post right now but will do later soz. i cant really do anything about the B-2 so i wont bother saying anything bout it , not that i could detect it anyway! also did u say u had 12 fighters in each squadron?

OOC: Sorry all, as im sure you all know the forums screwed up again so weve been unable to post :( Here goes *crosses fingers*

IC: The Blackhawks and Apaches were swooping below radar coverage to make sure that they couldnt be engaged by enemy SAMs, firing off their rockets and guns.

High above the F-16s carrying the JSOW's released their weapons. 2 JSOWs fell from each aircraft meaning a total of 72 bombs in the air. The bombs turned on their GPS computers and headed for their target, the 25th Mech Division. At an altitude of 5000 feet the 28 submunitions fell from each weapons and turned on their own radar detectors, each one of the 3456 bomblets detecting and homing in on a target. Each bomblet conatined a pound and a half of high explosive, the heat from which melted the outer metal casing, which then turned into a projectile- the process called "self forging"- which blazed downward at a speed of ten thousand feet per second onto the piece of ground currently owned by the 25th Mech Division. Each bomblet was painted white so nobody on teh ground knew what was about to hit them.#

The B-52s armed much the same way continued to their targets now with 45 F-22 Raptors escorting them.

OOC2: thats about 3000 bomblets for bout 500 targets at most so that division is well and truely bust methinks/hopes :) and yes that bit was wripped directly from a Tom Clancy book and the US in real life do have such weapons.

On the ground the tanks of the 25th Mech. were decimated by the air attack. 379 out of 500 tanks/IFVs were completely destroyed or rendered useless in the attack. The remaining tanks continued to fire onto the enemy below.
The tanks of the currently engaged armoured division were also taking heavy losses. 534 out of 750 tanks were destroyed or rendered useless. As the fighting raged on, orders came down from High Command to begin withdrawing to a ridge line 9 miles to the southeast of the current positions. The same orders were transmitted to the 25th Mech and the 45th Armoured. At the same ridge line, 4 A-class Infantry Divisions and 2 A-class Armoured divisions had moved up to concealed positions. Infront of their lines were several heavily mined areas.
The decimated 25th and armoured division were going to be used as bait to draw the enemy into these minefields and into the line of fire of the waiting divisions. Meanwhile the 45th Armoured was ordered to proceed to a position 75 miles to the east.
As the tanks withdrew, SAMs all over the area began firing on enemy aircraft all over the skies. The F-15Es began to engage the F-16s above the battlefield and the IH helicopters. The several A-10s continued to engage the enemy units assembling behind the lines, as did the artillery.
In Talaax, all divisions engaged there were ordered to withdraw back to Ingsoc Provinces. The divisions currently engaging the IH forces were to hold fast while the forces in Talaax withdrew. All A-class divisions in Ingsoc Provinces, except those engaging IH forces, were now moving up to the "Maxim" Line.
The Maxim Line is a 200 mile long defensive line situated on the northern parts on the Warin River and to the south along the Derigef Heights. The line is made up of miles upon miles of trenches, hundreds of concrete gun emplacements, AA positions and artillery positions. With it's full complement of divisions manning it, it would take an extremely large amount of force to breach.
OOC: Ok, we're now moving into a third phase of the war. This phase is more or less static in it's nature. Basically it will resemble WWI along the Maxim Line, except with modern weaponry. Most of the IP divisions in Talaax are supposed to escape but 200,000-300,000 troops should be captured.

OOC: Righty ho. Not sure if i will fall for the mine trap though because if i do that will be another division pretty badly mauled, which will leave me only small amounts of troops until the XI and XII Army Corps arrive (Hopefully first elements tomoro) Also i never thought to ask am i attacking east to west or west to east???

IC: The F-16s were trying to disengage and head back for their base, having completed their mission when suddenly their threat recievers started chirping. The voice of the AWACs controller on Jagged 2 came through the headpieces of the pilots

"Cobra Flight this is Jagged 2 you have inbound boggies missiles have been fired. We advise a course of 082 on full burner Over."

"Jagged 2 Roger that going to burner over" he increased the throttle and his aircraft and those in the squadrons around him accelerated to Mach 2.

"Cobra Flight be advised we have missiles in the air, i repeat missiles in the air. Deploy Chaff and flares Over"

"Chaff and flares deployed" announced Cobra 1.

The controllers could see this as their radar in that sector appeared to show 1000s of tiny contacts.
The F-16s managed to escape a large amount of the missiles, but 3 were shot down, the pilots of 2 ejecting safely. The rest returned to base whilst CSAR helicopters picked up the pilots.

At the battle field USIH F-15C and F-22's triggered off their Pheonix missiles at maximum range at the IP planes and then closed loosening off another 2 AIM-9X sidewinders each. About 100 Pheonixs and 100 Sidwinders went streaking across the air.

Meanwhile the B-52s began dropping their bombs, now with naval F-14 Tomcats as well as F-15s for top cover. 24 more of the devistatingly effective JSOW's were released each by 5 of the planes while the other 15 dropped Paveway 2 guided bombs with a 2000pound high explosive warhead into the A-Classed Armoured Divisions.

OOC2: Those were the ones that i was hitting when they started moving so i assume they are near that ridge by now?? or sumin.

OOC: I don't have time for a full post. I'm at school and this keyboard's spacebar doesn't like to work very well. Anyway, you're attacking in a hook fashion from the northwest to the southeast. Basically the onlyway to complete the encirclement of IP forces in Talaax is to punch through theridge line held by theinfantry and armoured divisions.

Havent got time for a long post either.

Well, 10 unmarked C-130's with nopthing FC to do with them, escorted by about 25 FC built MA-10's donated to IP, and 10 F-32's.

Okay, post what you are gonna do.

Meanwhile, Spec Ops are inbound on CH-47's, 5 helo's with 32 Spec Ops on each. 160 Spec Ops inbound, with a variety of Stingers, ATGM's and small arms.

So, what you gonna do? And the Chinooks are in low, just over the trees, going to another gold mine.

OOC: Sorry but i dont think i can attack and win with what i have there at the moment. I spose i could say that miraculasly the rest of my original forces catch up with the two armoured divs an the mech one of mine. It would then mean 12 divisions to take on your ridge line, plus i assume that im ment to let quite a lot of your forces get back before i cut the remaining couple of divs off??

The aircraft continue to move forth.....

The C-130s and escorting aircraft are picked up on air defense radar and all SAM stations in their path are put on alert. They are told to keep their radars off until ordered to switch them on. As the aircraft pass over each battery ( battery = 6 SAM launchers ) the radars are switched on, quickly grab targets and each launcher fires two of it's four missiles. Immediately after launch the radars are switched of and the batteries switch over to thermal targeting and fire their remaining missiles.
From the coast to the Thorstadt Mountains is about 100 miles with a SAM battery every 15-20 miles so this would be repeated about 5 times. The mobile SA-11 and SA-12 launchers at the front lines are also already on high alert ( gold mines are all located withing the Thorstadt Mountains where about 80% of all Talaaxian A-class divisions are located ) and will engage at will any unfriendly aircraft detected.
Two flights of eight Su-37s are also scrambled but keep their distance until the enemy aircraft pass through the SAM net.

High above the Thorstadt Mountains, a lone Bear bomber converted for air traffic control detects the Chinooks flying in from the coast using down-looking ( I don't know the exact term ) radar. Immediately an already airborne flight of eight MiG-31s are vectored in to intercept the helicopters. The MiGs scream towards the Chinooks on after burners, pilots eyeing their targeting radars waiting for a fix.

OOC: Posted this before but the f**king NS forums fucked up again grrrr. EDIT:soz for language has been starred.

IC: The 1st Regiment pulled back after the enemy started retreating and was then split equally between the 2nd and 3rd Regiments to create 2 over strength formations. These then linked up with the 22nd Armoured and the 45th Mech to await the arrival of V Corps.

At a port in Talaax

The leading elements of the XI Army Corps begin to arrive in Talaax, they immeadiately load onto tank transporters and head towards the front while the air brigade of the first Divisions from which these tanks came assembles its equipment at an air base near some C-5 Galaxies.

The SAM's rocket upwards, and 8 of 10 C-130's are shot down like ruptured ducks.

The remaining 2 break formation and dive to just of the ground.

Escorting F-32's with HARM missiles target them and fire at the SAM's (20 missiles, 2 at each target)

The MA-10's are looking out for interceptors.

The CH-47's are 2 miles from their drop off zone, far from any gold mine.

The HARM anti-radar missiles become mostly useless as the SAM batteries switch off their radars and flip over to thermal guidance systems. A few do connect with targets and six SAM launchers are destroyed and two radar stations are damaged. After a few seconds wait, the SAMs are formatted for thermal targeting and begin targeting the fastest and biggest source of heat - the fighters. Each four launcher battery fires off another two missiles from each battery and begin to reload.
As the SAMs reload three flights of Su-37s vector in to intercept the C-130s and fighters. Once within missile range the fighters fire two missiles each at the enemy aircraft. ( That's 3 flights of 8 with two missiles per plane = 48 inbound missiles. To be fair lets say my aircraft's missile range is about as far as your's. )

As the Chinooks fly towards their objectives the eight MiG-31s blast into targeting range and begin to pick targets. All eight MiGs slow down from after burner and loose two missiles each at the incoming Chinooks. Immediately afterwards the MiGs circle around and wait for their first missiles to connect with their targets.

OOC: Not to be annoying but the chinooks are low, below treeline, and in tight formation. You couldnt really pick targets, but I will post losses anyway. (I am FC's puppet)

And in RP is see better quality rather than quantity as vital, so unless you give me stats I aint happy. See, you have quantity, I have quality. I have less numbers, see. You cant just say you have stuff.

IC: The Chinooks reach their positions, and flare quickly. 4 land and offload troops then begin to rise. As they rise, 1 by 1 they are hit by missiles and grounded. The fifth sees the inbound missiles and tries to evade. One missile flies by it, but in all the moving and pitching and looking, it collides with the side of a mountain.

The HARM missiles have memories, meaning even if SAM missiles turn off their radars, the missile still follows to where contact was lost. And believe me, SAM's wont be able to move quick enough, I think. But oh well, if they do, shit happens. So the HARM's contiue flying towards where signal was lost.

The 25 MA-10's each fire 2 AA-3E missiles each at various targets, mainly the Su-37's. (Remember the Thrust Vectoring) The F-32's pull up and launch 2 AA-3D missiles at the MiG-31's (not as much range, but still as agile as the AA-3E as it also has thrust vectoring). So that is 50 missiles inbound at the Various Su-37 flights and 20 missiles at the MiG-31's.

The MA-10's turn on ECM, launch radar jamming flares (effectively create 100 false targets for the missiles to follow), heat making flares and jammers. 8 dive for the flares (amazingly), 9 flop in jammers. All the MA-10's break and pull hard at 8 G's each. The F-32's dive again to treetop level. 16 missiles miss due to fierce diving, and 10 hit seven MA-10's. Five pilots eject, the others die in a fireball. 18 MA-10's wait for follow up.

OOC: Just to ask where the hell r those planes coming from? fighters dont have the range to get there an i was under the assumption that IP was posting for the donations (of which i belive i shot some down :)). Also i will post later with a big one.

OOC: Um, sorry.

They re FC built and FC flown, and as long as FC is flying 'em, they will be RPed by me.

Sorry for the confusion, they arent actually donated, we are just acting like they are. They are still owned by FC, just disguised.

I am under the assumption theya re flying fromt he airbase they ahve always been working from, the one I mentioned earlier. Think 'donated' aerial refuelers.

IC: The remaining 2 C-130's, sensing more missiles, allow their paratroopers to paradrop. 110 paratroopers on one jump, and the other paradrops 2 FT-4 tanks and 50 paratroops. All begin to float to the ground.

At the Chinook drop of spots, the soldiers on the ground begin to secure the wrecks and get any survivors out. We also believe a relief convoy with more troops is inbound. It is made up of 4 FT-9 Medusa tanks at the front, 6 FT-6 APC's after, 10 Humvees, 5 ten ton trucks, 5 humvess, 3 FT-6's and 2 FT-9's. They are escorted by several MAH-6 attack helicopters and a couple of SAAM-3 vehicles (launch AA-3E SAM's)

OOC: The aircraft are Talaaxian made, produced by Talaaxian industry. They weren't bought.

Also where are the Chinooks? Near the front lines or inside Talaax?

OOC: Cant really post till after IP does, but my troops are moving up.

IC: New Forces deployed to Talaax/IP.

VI Army Corps Overall Commander- Major General Hammond

24th Armoured Cavalry Division C.O=Brig. General Howard
14th Infantry Division. C.O= Brig General Reid
15th Infantry Division. C.O= Brig. General Finnigan


XII Army Corps Overall Commander- Lt. General Washington

156th Infantry Division----Brig General Humphries
176th Infantry Division----Brig General Morris
132nd Armoured Division---- Major General Bradshaw
145th Mechanized Infantry Division----Brig General Payne

The Commander of the Entire IH Army in Theater remains General Alexander, now commanding the newly named 9th USIH Army.

IP forces continue to withdraw from Talaax. Several "sacrificial" divisions, mostly C-class formations, man the line within the pocket as the better formations move through the gap between Talaaxian/Attican and IH forces.
90% of the forces withdrawing from Talaax have taken 40% or more casualties and will be placed behind the Maxim Line for rest, reinforcement, rearmament and relaxation. It is expected that only 25% of these divisions will be able to get back up to full strength.

The forces on the ridge line adjacent IH forces maintain their positions, blocking IH forces from closing the gap. The infantry divisions launch nightly patrols into enemy held territory, trying to gauge the enemy disposition. To supplement the night patrols, the artillery fires a barrage every morning at sunrise.

On the Maxim line, 14 A-class and 7 B-class divisions have moved into positions along the line. The B-class divisions are expected to be replaced by A-class formations soon. If full capacity is met, 4 Armoured, 3 Mechanized and 23 Infantry divisions will be manning the line. Behind them will be IP's 6 remaining full strength Armoured divisions, 42 Infantry Divisions and the last 8 full strength Mechanized Divisions. IP Commanders see the Maxim line as impenetrable.

The United States Ground Commander, General Alexander, and his staff are flying to the Talaax Main command area (????) to speak with Talaax high command on how the war should be conducted from now on, as it is obvious from Air recon and darkstar feeds that most enemy formations have escaped the trap set for them.

OOC: The Talaaxian "Main Command" would be the RAFT Headquarters on Revolution Plaza in Talaaxia.

IC: Marshal Ae'tius, Defense Minister Grom'nyo and TIS Head R'ev Tensh have set aside a whole day of their schedules to meet with the IH Commanders. The meeting is scheduled to begin at 10 am ( the next time you post ) in Conference Room 3B on the 3rd Floor of the RAFT Building. Security has been notified about the meeting.

OOC: No, I said I donated em to Talaax.

And still no word of thanks for me from IP :wink:

And I am still waiting for losses to be posted.....

And the Chinooks are near the front line, and moving in....

General Alexander and his staff stepped out of thier UH-60 Blackhawk and walked into the RAFT HQ building. They proceeded past security to the Conference room to discuss further actions.

While they were doing this the rest of the 24th Armoured Cavalry Division loads onto trucks and trains and heads for the frontline. Right behind it is the lead elements of the 14th and 15th Infantry Divisions.

OOC: Not sure if ya wanna post the strategy here or t-gram it to me or sumfink.

Losses Stand at 8 Su-37s and 4 MiG-31s plus the SAM sites already destroyed. The fighters are pulling back. I'll post combat stuff later.

The IH Commanders are quickly whisked inside the building and up to Conference Room 3B. Inside, two soldiers stand at one end of the room and four or five mean looking men in suits are scatter around the room. Sitting at one end of the five meter long table are Marshall Ae'tius, Secretary Grom'nyo and R'ev Tensh. The three men look expectantly at the door as it opens.

After exchanging greetings the meeting gets underway. Marshall Ae'tius stands up infront of a large projection screen and nods to one of the men in the suits who then dims the lights. The projection screen comes to life with the crest of the RAFT as Ae'tius begins to speak.

Ae'tius: As you all know, Operation Backstab failed to achieve it's ultimate objective, which is the complete encirclement of the Ingsoc Provinces divisions in Talaax. It did however, as RAFT intelligence suggests, succeed in mauling several IP divisions. Two obvious examples would be the two divisions decimated by IH forces inside IP a few days ago.
However, the bulk of IP forces are expected to escape although not without suffering many casualties. *clicks projector remote* The RAFT has forces in these areas. *Image of the Battle Area appears with Talaaxian divisional positions marked.* As you can see there are 88 Divisions deployed to the battlefront, 79 of which are A-class. This map does not, however, show the positions of TIS divisions. That is why Mr. Tensh has joined us. *sits down and Tensh stands up*

Tensh: As you may or may not know, Talaax has two independent armed forces. The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Talaax or RAFT and the TISAF or Talaaxian Intelligence Service Armed Force. The TISAF represents the best of the best of Talaaxian troops, both in equipment and training. They are the elite. This is why there are so few of them.
The TISAF currently has 21 Divisions deployed to the battlefront. *clicks projector remote and the same map appears with RAFt divisional postions replaced by those of the TISAF*. These forces can be inside IP within a week and a half.
As well as acting as an armed force, the TIS is also Talaax's intelligence service. Over the past two weeks we have been gathering information about the enemy. We have three rather large pieces of information.
The first is this *clicks projector remote and a map showing the Maxim line appears* This is the "Maxim Line" as IP is calling it. The line is approximately 200 miles long and blocks all routes to the IP capital and most of the major cities. From what we have gathered from satellite and aerial reconnaissance and our own agents inside IP, the line is heavily fortified with miles of trenches, hundreds of concrete fortifications and many more gun emplacements. We estimate that there are around 35 divisions manning the line right now. This line poses a serious threat to any force attacking into IP. Although it is almost 300 miles from the border, it still has the capability to stop any offensive.
Secondly, we have discovered that there may be strife within the IP Navy. Several naval barracks have seen riots and two are currently barricaded up. If we can somehow turn this to our advantage, it could mean a quick end to any offensive into IP.
Lastly, we recently captured this document *clicks projector remote and a copy of a document appears on screen*. I'm not sure if you can read this, but it is a message to an IP squadron commander. The message states that he should prepare for the arrival of several new FC aircraft to his squadron along with several Freedom Country pilots to pilot them. We already knew that FC was lending aircraft to IP but apparently they are also flying them for them. This document has been brought to the attention of the Talaaxian Government and you are now recieving your own copies.
Accompanying the document are briefing papers about the "Lend Lease" program of aircraft and pilots. The briefings confirm that FC is involved in this war, although clandestinely. You are also recieving copies of these papers as well.
Are there any questions or comments before we begin discussing strategy?

General Alexander sits in silence throughout the briefing absorbing all of the posed information. His intelligence head, a Colonel Burton on hearing about FC's involvement in the war immeadiately asks for permission to use the groups satillite telephone to call J City so that the President can be informed ASAP. OOC: u say whether we can of not (political leaks an all that) General Alexander asks Talaax commanders whether cruise missile and stealth bomber attacks would have any effect on morale of the IP troopsin the maxim line in their opinion. He mentions that the IH fleet at sea has several thousand onboard with more in weapons ships.

OOC: You can phone away.
IC: Cruise Missile strikes would be more effective. Bombing attacks would likely become quite costly due both to the IP Air Force and the air defenses of the Maxim Line.
Any strikes or attempts to take parts of the IH fleet are discouraged until we can find more information on the situation.
We'll let you speak now and put forth any ideas or opinions you may have.

OOC: Did u mean IP fleet in that last post?
General Alexander belives that a cruise missile attack on enemy positions would be most effective at this current time while our forces regroup and possibly special forces actions behind enemy lines to delay supplies, reinforcements and building equipment. Also would a flanking monouve (spelt wrong i know soz) be possible to cut supplies off for good?

OOC: Yeah, IP. Didn't even notice.
IC: A flanking manouvre would be hard to accomplish. Our forces would have to push through mountaineous terrain to the south and along a thin coastal strip on the north. Special Forces operations would likely be more effective.

OOC: Yeah, IP. Didn't even notice.
IC: A flanking manouvre would be hard to accomplish. Our forces would have to push through mountaineous terrain to the south and along a thin coastal strip on the north. Special Forces operations would likely be more effective.

Ok we shall begin firing cruise missiles as soon as our Darkstar UAV's are overhead picking out targets, the General motioned for Colonel Burton to order that as well. Special forces teams will be inserted as soon as possible. Would an amphibious landing by marines be accomplishable?

OOC: Got to sign off for a while now, hopefully i will be back on 2night other wise wont b on till bout 1 UK time 2moro.

Message to IP:

Freedom Country are readying to send in the bombers and attack aircraft posted earlier. This means we can use total air superiority for the fight, along with your aerial forces. We plan to have 50 aircraft continuosly in the air around the clock.

Also, a variety of attack helicopters are being sent in, as long as more Spec Ops in aircraft. Tell su where you need 'em.

*In the mountains, combat zone*

All the Spec Ops troops on the ground are setting up defensive positions with SAM's, RPG's and TOW's. They will wait for reinforcements in the laterst wave, and armor if possible.

IC: General Alexander used the sattillite phone to call the New White House where he spoke to General Siler. General Siler approved the plan for cruise missile attacks and immeadiately the ball started to roll.

Onboard the USIHS Passenda, a 688 Class Los Angeles SSN, orders were recieved and tomahawks were readied into the torpedo tubes. At exactly midnight 8 submarines and 4 destroyers began firing a total of 54 Cruise Missiles into the night sky. All launched properly and headed for the Maxim line which was just within their range. Estimated flight time 10:00 Mins.

"Roger, lets see. Hmmm, all coming from IH's positions. Some from no where."

"Cruise missiles, I think sir."

"Hmmm. Probably at the airports. Maybe even some of IP's defensive lines."

"CORPORAL. Warn IP HQ of incoming cruise missiles. See if we can get a SAM-10 online or what."

"Yes, SIR"

*Fleet of 10 An-225's*

The flight was pretty bumpy. The personnel in back bumped and moved about like skittles. The only reason the 5 M1A2's in the back of each didnt fall ut was because they were battoned down.

The An-225's were coming in over the ocean, at IP. They would land sometime soon, after decending over the ocean. They were escorted by 24 F-22's of the Reserves.

After sweeping over the ocean, they began their decent.

Total Forces I know of in IP:

120 MA-10's of 6th Squadron
60 F-32's of 12th Squadron
60 MA-14's of 3rd Attack Squadron
60 MA-4 Supersonic Bombers of 4th Bomber Squadron
60 RAH-66 Commanche's of 1st Army
24 F-22's of crack 1st Airborne (have more experience than most see in a lifetime)
12 F-117's of 1st Crack Airborne
6 B-2's of 4th Bomber

Ground Troops (All commited)

320 Elite Commado's (Best of the Best. Trained hard, worked harder)
160 Spec Ops Paratroops
40 M1A2's (rusty and old, dont expect much)
10 M3's (rustier and older, same as above)
2 FT-4's (export version)

Expected Future Troops:

1,080 Spec Ops
160 Commandoes
60 M113's
60 M1A1's
50 M3's
%100 No Mercy

That was all Secret IC btw.

OOC: Christ youve gotta show me the stats on those planes if they can carry 5 M1 Abrams tanks. (i dont think that a plane could carry 2 let alone 5!!!)

An-225. Ask DT, its Russian.

3 engines, it can carry a space shuttle for christs sake.

OOC: Ok back to the rp. :P an a 747 can carry a space shuttle but cant carry tanks :P
IC: The cruise missiles streaked into their targets, some were bunkers others CP's and a few artillery positions. Meanwhile forces continued to come ashore, form up and move out to the battle field. A total of 3 Divisions were ashore with more arriving.

OOC: When are we to attack.

OOC: The An-225, if modified, can. A LOT of tanks.

Also, where are you basing your air assaults out of?

[i]IC: Bravo Company, made up of 48 Elite Commandoes, moves towards the minefield that the cargo planes were meant to attack...

My planes are luanching from airfields in Talaax and some Naval F-14s are coming from carriers and refueling in mid air.

Hmmm, gotta take out those airfields. Maybe even the carrier....somehow...

OOC: Is this thread dying? coz me an FC seem to be the only ones postin?

Oh shit. Time for a bit of greenpeace-esque stuff. Maybe even a SEAL operation :shock:

Anyway, the Commadnoes are getting near. Can you tell me abput the defenses of the nearest gold mine to IP.

I have no idea about them, my troops are nowhere near that sector.

A company of TIS Border Guards, a couple of sandbag machine gun nests, three BTR-70s and one T-72.

I'm going to be away for a few days. You may have already noticed my absence. Homework is picking up and it may be a little while for me to get back online.

OOC: Thats no problem, i have mock GCSE's starting on the 1st December so i wont be able to post very reguarly either till about the 6th.

Hehe, I love being out of school :)

Anyway, should I play out my attack before then, or wait till after? I suggest now.

Yeah go right ahead i might be able to post a bit during the next week or so but i dunno about the others.

Okay.

1 Mile away from the Gold Mine, 12 Commadoes split from the main group and climb the mountain, high to the right of the minefield. They consist of 2 guys carrying bits of a .50 cal, 4 snipers, 2 riflemen, 2 Grenadiers and 2 guys hoiking a Javelin with ammo up the hill.

Once they reach the top, they set up their equipment. The .50 cal is set up silently behind a rocky outcrop on a tripod, aiming down at the barracks. The Javelin is set up angling down slightly, set up at the T-72. Ammo is laid out beside. The Snipers and Machine Gunners set up their weapons on bipods, and take aim.

The Riflemen assist the Machine Gunners with ammo belts, and the Grenadiers set up their grenade launchers (OICW's unfortunately, not FC-57's :( ). They all waited.

The remaning 36 split into 2 groups, another 12 go down the mountain side, consisting of 6 Riflemen (experts in rock climbing), 4 with MP5's and 2 with SAW's. They ready at the bottom of the hill. The left 24 wait in the bushes on the road downwards (as you can see, I am making this up. Please correct me, but this is what I am guessing it look like). They wait for orders. There are 12 guys with MP5's, 4 snipers, 4 MG gunners and 4 with OICW's.

Meanwhile, 150km away, 2 donated MA-4 Supersonic bombers open their bomb bay doors. 2 MAM-139 missiles drop out of each. These are laser/satellite guided missiles that will home in on a laser beam. Right now, guess what. Yup, 4 of the riflemen with Laser Designators are pointing 'em at the BTR's and T-72's.

The missiles engage, and begin to fly at ulra low flight towards their targets, the Armored Vehicles. They are programmed to fly a certain profile through valleys and stuff, before coming up and diving at their targets. And please dont godmode, these are demon thingies, which dont miss.

The missiles close in, and begin to home on their targets.

OOC: Can I have a map please?

You guys back yet?

I am starting exams monday however i will be able to post a little bit during the week if this restarts.

I think FC did continue.

Sorry to disappoint anyone, but I'm going to be away for a while, school work is beginning to pile up and other things. I won't be able to keep this RP alive anymore. Seeing as it's a semi-planned RP, IP and I have decided to just fast forward to the pre-arranged ending. This puts IP under Talaaxian occupation and more or less under Talaaxian control. We'll say the war lasted 1 year and 7 months, you guys can post your casualties accordingly.

Talaax Casualties ( Altogether ): 1,341,765 Killed/Wounded/Missing
987 Tanks Lost
863 Aircraft Lost
14 Ships lost
- 2 Aircraft Carriers
- 8 Destroyers
- 4 Cruisers
987,000 tonnes of ordinance expended


Ingsoc Provinces Casualties: 1,987,943 Killed/Wounded/Missing
1576 Tanks Lost ( 9/10 Total )
1990 Aircraft Lost ( Complete Loss )
37 Ships
- 10 Aircraft Carriers ( Full Complement )
- 10 Cruisers
- 7 Submarines
- 5 Frigates
- 5 Destroyers
1,098,000 tonnes of ordinance expended

Sorry about this, but it's the only way it would every get finished.

IH, FC? Casualties?

Casualties:

8 C-130's
9 CH-47's
16 MA-10 Fighters
38 Commandoes

Lets just say that attack on the mine was succesful, but then MA-10's spotted armor coming and they ran. They lost 2.

Anyway, here are the 'weapons launched':

57 AA-3 Missiles
12 Maverick II's
8 Sidewinder II's

Kills:

You'll hav to give me a count. i was mighty succesful with the MA-10's and AA-3's though :D

The casualties given above are the casualties for the entire war. It's over now, losses inflicted by FC forces are included in that figure. Also, I doubt that over a year and 7 months of warfare you would lose only 35 aircraft and 38 infantry.

Aw man.

Wars over!

Indeed it is a pity.
