Freedom Island, one of the major islands belonging to Layarteb is still claimed by Tnemrot, our previous rulers. We have defeated them in a Civil War and gain independance just 6 years ago. Now it seems they are inticing war again. They still claim Freedom Island as their own, mainly because of the military significance of the island. Freedom Island is rightfully ours and we fought for it and won it and will defend it if any such problems arise from Tnemrot.

Reports on the battlegroup are confirmed to show a group of two Ticonderoga's, two AEGIS, and three OHP frigates are on the way. Support groups will be leaving shortly from Tnemrot and submarines are being picked up by our SOSUS net. It looks like we're definitely going to war men! 2nd Fleet scrambled and put to sea, 3rd fleet preparing to go to sea. All forces put on high alert and 1st Fleet elements put up a blockaide around Freedom Island. REDCON 3 declard. 1st FS with 175 F-15Cs to provide a No-Fly Zone around Freedom Island. 3rd SF "Force Recon" unit deployed to Freedom Island with 3 officers and 30 soldiers in 3 squads of 1 & 10 each.

I will pledge my support immediately for this conquest.
I will be sending 1 Nimitz Class CVN of the 2nd Fleet, along with 2 Sprunace and 2 Long Beach Class Destroyers. There will also be HN 'Harpoon' of the HMC complete with 20 Abrams tanks and close to a full Brigade of Marines. Army commando's and a squad of comms soldiers will be flown to Layarteb to set up operations as soon as an 'all clear' is given by Layarteb.

We will support you. How big is Tnemrot?

I will give you some support here. I am sending 1 Nimitz aircraft carrier, then 1 tegeronda and 2 blackhawks and 1 and another regiment of Abrams tanks division of troops thats 500 elite troops of the Delta Force Marines and 40 tanks. My support to you is mainly air and ground this should be enough for you. I am being very generous to you because there is already future agression towards a nation in my small region but our enemies are being forced to stand down so I can probably send more troops to you in 3 weeks time (unreal time).

Tnemrot aint in NS anymore but at the time it was something like 900M. Hirg I'll let you know as soon as I got something. I may take the fight to Tnemrot. My fleet meeting theirs will ask them to turn around and if they dont and we have to sink them the war is going to their soil.

More news as the vote in my nation says that my people don't want to be involved in a major war with a dictatorship on the wrong side so I will have to withdraw 1 regiment from shipping out to protect your nation. No hard feelings my country is a proud democracy and whatever the people want badly they get.

Understood always good to protect yourself before others. No hard-feelings.

I will send 50 B-52 Bombers, 2 B2 spirits, 50,000 soldiers, 300 M1A2 Abrams, 200 Tomahawk Crusie Missiles (to be launched from my missile ships), 300 Howitzers, 100 F22 Raptors and 5,000 Troops from my elire Imperial Guard.

Please get back to me so I can also send one of my trusted Generals to the battle field.

Sincerely Yours,

#1 I just met you

#3 For 18M people you can't possibly have that military

Same goes for Aamerriccaa...You are way too small to have CVSGs

I calculated my budjet which is above 60 Billion and bought the stuff. I do have a lot more. I support you because your nation is very like mine.

But seen as your an asshole about it, I'm withdrawing my troops. I will not help you because of your lack of gratitude.

I still wish you all the best.

If things get bad, all I want is an official apollogy and I'll help you.

Alliances aren't formed in 30 seconds and I never accepted your soldiers so you were never an allie in the war. I see nothing to apologize for. I sware these people everyday another 1,000 of them!

I'm not a n00b. If you don't believe me then calculate my thing and then go to the military sales rooms and you'll see how much I bought.

I don't cheat.

Your not being a very good diplomat and anyone new here is not going to help you now.

Your not a being very nice to someone who has acted to help you.

Good bye. I hope you do calculate and go looking then you'll feel bad about what you said.

You realize you need to pay for fuel, maintance, support, training, housing, etc. plus the rest of your military, air defenses, etc.

Bad news men! War is about to happen.

**TO LAYARTEB**
**FR TNEMROT**

Remove all forces from Freedom Island immediately. You have until 12.13.03 12:00PM EST to do so or else we will attack and take back what is rightfully ours.



Hirgizstan please send your forces to a staging point roughly 200 miles off shore from Freedom Island, outside our blockaide. After that we wish that your commander in charge fly to the capital and meet with us to discuss how this is going to happen. Our naval battle with Tnemrot is going to be a big one. Fleets come in range of each other in roughly 12 RL hours.

All information for this conflict will be at:
see here for further detailed information
http://fire.prohosting.com/layarteb/index.htm
See Military Deployments -> Freedom Island Crisis

be back in a few hours going to play SC4

The forces will be at the staging point with two more units that were on an 'operation' near your own fleet, two Seawolf Class SSN's, the 'Krana' and the 'Nimrod'. They were requestin permission to join your fleet through our naval communications but they will now hold at the mark until the rest of the Battlegroup get there, roughly a day, maybe more depending on the weather. I also wish to ask if 3 old Battleships, Missouri class, would be needed. They are run by the HNR (Hirgizstan Naval Reserve) and are used as training platforms, but they have all their original weaponry and a fearsome array of weaponry ranging from long deck guns to good old fashioned Depth Charges. It will take a day or two to get them 'ship-shape' and ready to sail but i would say they could be very useful, i would estimate just under a 7 day week for them to arrive, should i send them?
The CIC of our Forces will arrive by Military Lear Jet very soon to begin planning and preparation. Our military forces are at DEFCON 2 and so additional forces are on stand-by.
A second battlegroup is gearing up to leave with Kitty Hawk class Aircraft Carrier with older planes, Phantom's, F-111 etc.

Excellent, excellent. Tell the Seawolves to wait in your staging area to keep it completely empty of enemy subs. No enemy vessels should arrive for at least 28 RL hours which would put them in at 2100 EST 12.13.03. Now as far as those Missouri's go. Well I don't know it's up to you if you want to use them against enemy shipping. Our Layarteb-class and Iowa class will be out. Layarteb's are some impressive battleships and at 2B a piece they better be right! LOL. All information is on indigenious projects on our homepage listed below. Second CVBG may not be necessary as I plan to send your current one, along with the two I have at sea to Tnemrot to wreck havoc on them sobs if that's alright.

Excellent excellent excellent. The fleets are about 12 hours away from each other. A go is given to all your forces.

Okay my 3 regiments of elite marines the 2 regiment tank battalions and the Nimitz class aircrat carrier and the 2 tigeronda battleships have arrived. How can we be of service? Sorry I didn't trust your nation before, if you need more support from us we will send more troops (contact me by telegram). Where should I postition my troops? Who says my nation doesen't help internationally? :D

The largest deployment of carpet bombers in 5 years took off in the early hours of this morning. 10 EB52's from the HAF's 2nd Special Aviation Squadron and 10 from the 3rd Special Aviation Squadron took off from their respective bases. Their mission: To flatten Tnemrot's two ICBM bases.
They would be flying a massive number of miles. refuelling four times on a round trip.
The giant aircraft entered Tnemrot's airspace at 6.57pm, the joined squadron splitting to hit their targets.
The bombs fell around 30 minutes after entering Tnemrot's airspace, hopefully Layarteb's recon planes will have a BDA by tomorrow morning, it is hoped that at the very least the ICBM bases have been put out of action.
AAR: The EB52's took heavy AA fire over ICBM base 2 and two aircraft took minor hits in the fuselage, while at the other ICBM base the EB's found a heavy concentration of SAM sites, 1 aircraft had to break formation due to a near miss, it overshot its target and took a hit towards the rear of the fuselage but managed to escape to Layarteb and land at an Air Force base where it awaits repairs. A wing of A6 Prowlers from the Marine carrier will now accompany all Hirgizstanian aircraft going into Tnemrot's airspace. Awaiting Battle Damage Assesment...

Do any people reside on Freedom Island?

Please stand-by in home port Aamerricaaa and await further orders.

Freedom Island is home to about 10 - 15M people, a large concentration in Freedom City. The island was named by us when we gained independance.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The U-2S took off just as the sun set, climbing to a cruise altitude of 82,000 feet. Their flight path would take them over all major military installations in Tnemrot, primarily the ICBM bases, which took hits from Hirgizstan B-52s earlier.

The flight was easily quick and unnoticed, only requiring two refuels by awaiting KC-10As over international airspace. Extensive jamming by EF-111s crippled Tnemrot's ability to see anything out of visual range.

The 5 EF-111As, 2 KC-10As, and 1 U-2S landed safely. The imagry was rushed to central command HQ in Layarteb City.

"Get me General Wheeler!" COL. Laslo said, looking at the reconnaissance photographs. A two minute pause gave him time to think what he was going to say. "General. This is Colonel Laslo. I am looking at the reconnaissance photographs from Tnemrot are in and developed."

"What do they show colonel, I'm standing here with the Hirgizstan high commander." GEN. Wheeler asked.

"Well bad news sir. The B-52s did hit their targets but did relatively no damage. We've also gathered that SAM presence is nearly quadruple that of what it was last year. We're showing a heavy presence of SA-6, SA-11, and Improved HAWK batteries. Patriots are also frequent. News over the airbases is bad as well with heavy concentration of air defenses and fighters on the tarmacs."

"Very well send them over here and we'll further analyze them." GEN. Wheeler hung up the phone. "Sir," speaked to the Hirgizstan high commander, "I think we're going to have to hold off on combat operations until we can get rid of those air defenses. We'll also wait for Germanian commanders to get here. Good work but we're going to have to sort this one out!"

:: sigh I sick of waiting ::

Distance from Layarteb to Tnemrot: 1,750 nm (3,241km; 2,014 mi)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 2nd Fleet came within weapons range of the Tnemrot fleet. Layarteb was steaming in with 2 Nimitz-class (Dictator & Yankee), 4 Ticonderoga-class, 4 AEGIS-class, 4 OHP-class, 8 Bridge-class, 2 Iowa-class, 4 support ships, and 2 Naval Airwings, with (12 C-2, 4 E-2C, 4 EA-6B, 4 EA-18A, 12 F-14D, 18 F/A-18C, 18 F/A-18E, 2 HH-60H, 8 S-3B, and 4 SH-60F each) as well as one of the mammoth Layarteb-class battleships. These were the pride of the Layarteb Navy. 400 feet longer than an Iowa, same armor and armament but improved air defenses with RAMs and a VLS system with 128 cells. For this mission, the LS Outlaw, carried 40 RIM-66M Standard SM-2MR, 40 RIM-67D Standard SM-2ER, 10 RIM-156A Standard SM-2ER Block IV, 10 RIM-161A Standard SM-3 LEAP, 28 RUM-139C ASROC. 2 688/Is and 2 Seawolves with the 1st Submarine force were also traveling with the fleet.

Tnemrot was rolling in with 2 Ticonderoga's, 2 AEGIS's, 3 OHP's, 2 688/Is, and a Kuznetsov-class carrier with 16 Yak-41Ms, 12 Su-33s, and 24 Helix's.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Helix's were already airborne, scowering the sea for the submarines while their own submarines were transiting just below the layer at 350 feet.

Layarteb's submarines were skimming the bottom at 790 feet, the bottom at 820.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And so it began. Tnemrot fired first, sending a volley of Harpoons towards the Layarteb fleet, Layarteb returning with the same. 28 Harpoon's flew at wave-top level towards the Layarteb carrier and battleships. This would be the first chance for them to use their RAM missiles in combat. In testing they had scored 94% hit-rate on the missiles fired at them.

Layarteb returned with a total of forty-eight, thirty of those heading towards the Kuznetsov.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Layarteb submarines were travelling at 5 knots, running patterns to find the Tnemrot submarines, moving at 5 knots themselves, ADCAPs armed in their tubes, just raring to fire.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tnemrot launched their aircraft, the Yak-41s were armed with four R77s and two R73s; the Su-33s had two R77s, four R73s, and six Kh31s. The Yak-41s would be providing cover for the Su-33s with their anti-ship missiles. Immediately, the carriers vectored in their 18 F-14s and 24 F/A-18s that were already in the air. The F-14s immediately lobbed off their AIM-54s, carrying two each firing off thirty-six. The F/A-18s were mixed, 12 Super Hornets with ten AIM-120Cs and four AIM-9Xs and regular Hornets with six AIM-120Cs and two AIM-9Xs. They launched off their AMRAAMs immediately as did the Yaks and Sus with their R77s.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Onboard the Layarteb ships, missile warning klaxon's rang left and right and the RAM launchers lobbed off their missiles, Phalanx units locking in the incomming missiles and now the volley of Kh31s coming in at Mach 3. There were seventy-two of them heading in. The first volley of twenty-eight RGM-84s were defeated, two Harpoon's making it through but only to be destroyed by Phalanx as they went into their terminal climb for their pop-up maneuver.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Down, deep below the waves, the submarines were nothing more than 15nm apart but still unbeknownst to each other, not until a slip of the wrist. The ships were carefully listening when all of a sudden a ping erupted through the water. It came from a Layarteb 688/I. Someone had hit the wrong button and now they were in deep trouble, everyone knew where everyone was.

Immediately the submarine took evasive manuevers as a torpedo came snapshotting at it. A Layarteb Seawolf fired at the bearing with an ADCAP. Two aloft SH-60s managed to get the bearing on the other Tnemrot submarine and each dropped a torpedo at it.

Both Tnemrot subs were destroyed by the torpedo's as was the Layarteb 688 that sent out its ping, taking two torpedo hits rather than a single one.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The air battle left all but two Su-33s destroyed from the Tnemrot fleet and two F/A-18Es, one F-14D, and three F/A-18Cs destroyed. The volley of missiles sunk an OHP frigate and severely damaged the LS Dictator.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A combination of torpedos and anti-ship missiles sunk the entire Tnemrot fleet, obvious that their anti-missile techniques were still that of the Civil War, total failures.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To Hirgizstan and Germania, please sail your fleets to positions off Tnemrot coast immediately.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

:: bump :: its gotten to page 10 so I might as well bump it so its easier to find guys!

For only the second time in Hirgizstan's proud history did the Missouri Battleships, Stingray, Empire and the old flagship Hirgizstan, sail toward battle. They were headed to the nation of Tnemrot and would arrive on Tuesday, 16th, at the earliest.

The two Seawolf Class SSN's, 'Krana' and 'Nimrod' arrived as the naval battle with Tnemrot was winding down, they could hear the mighty Tnemrot ships breaking up under the waves, they could hear torpedo's being fired momentarily and the crews were geared up to use the Seawolves Manta Class Fast Attack Mini Subs, (2 on each Seawolf) but a transmission from the Commander of the single Layarteb Class Battleship saying that the fighting was all but over.
The Admiral on deck of the Hirgizstan CVN heard the transmission aswell and decided to steam ahead and lend a hand mopping up.

All Hirgizstanian naval forces are moving to a staging point off the Tnemrot coast as per orders from the Layartebian CiC.

A squad of AAC's was HAHO dropped at 0130 this morning onto Freedom Island to begin plotting for the Naval guns and to scout landing sites for the coalition forces, they are to soon meet with Layarteb's Marine Force Recon close to Freedom City.

The ILN (Imperial Layarteb Navy) Emperor (Formally Dictator) arrived back at homeport with very serious damage. We're expecting at least 1 RL week worth of repairs. No carriers are being sent to replace its position as with the sunken 688 and Perry-frigate. They are off Tnemrot's coast with Hirgizstan forces and as soon as North Germanian forces arrive the attacks will begin.

There is a squad of Engineers on the CVN that will do repair work on any Layarteb Frigate, the frequency to the CVN is 564.897, ask for the Commander and we'll do what we can if you need them.

Rg cool I'll keep that in mind if we take anymore hits. The Carrier is bad bad bad shape.

Psst. North Germania you out there? LOL Waiting on you buddy...

HOw do you invade people?

-- double post deleted --

(OOC: Sorry, have been quite busy lately. Here we go!)

The North Germanian fleet rolled into the waters outside of Tnemrot. The fleet had received word that a coordinated attack would be performed with Hirgizstan and Layarteb. Every ship had been placed on red alert, and all crew members were at their appropriate position. The attack had been kept very silent from the press and other countries. The only nations aware of the approaching Germanian fleet were Hirgizstan and Layarteb.

Aboard the Iowa-class battleship, Admiral Hamlin had radioed the respective admirals of the Hirgizstani and Layartebian fleets.


_______________________________________________
CODED MESSAGE. BEGIN:

Admiral Hamlin: This is Admiral Hamlin of the NGB Klein battleship. North Germanian fleet in position. Commencing assault.

CODED MESSAGE. END.
________________________________________________


Aboard the NGB Splitter, 15 F/A-18's and 15 MiL-1's took off and began their approach into enemy airspace.

The three other carriers in the fleet followed with the same amount of aircraft.

The 8 Iowa Class battleships moved closer towards the island.

On board the Seawolf Class attack submarine Einheit, the sonar pinged and the forms of the Tnemrot and Layarteb submarines appeared on the radar.

Admiral Dietrich: Lock all torpedoes on target 3. Inform the captains of the four Seawolf subs in the area to lock on all remaining targets and fire. I'm not going to stand by while our allies are attacked.

Private Horst: Jawohl!

The private carried out his orders, and 30 torpedoes blasted out towards the enemy submarines...

HOw do you invade people?

Building up a military and doing so. Just learn from others.

The F-117s took off from Layarteb with their F/A-22A escorts. All-in-all there were 25 F-117s and 50 F/A-22s. The F/A-22s would be providing CAP and limited strike, some armed with GBU-35s. The F-117s had 25 targets themselves. Naval aircraft from the ILN Yankee were already in the air for CAP and strike. 12 F-14Ds were providing CAP and 18 F/A-18Es were on their way to a total of 50 targets.

The targets were all air-defense sites. Tnemrot had some 100 radar sites and countless SAM sites to boot. This would be the target for the first two days of the attack. Hirgizstan forces were asked as were North Germanian forces to attack these positions and also pay close attention to their own targets and such.

The night was setting. It wasn't long after the F-19As and F-24As left to attack NewGanEden then did the F-117s, F/A-18Es, and F/A-22s appeared over their targets. The force dropped a total of 50 GBU-27s, 20 GBU-35s, 36 AGM-84Hs, and 36 GBU-38s on a total of 100 targets. 30 were air defense radars, 30 were air defense sites, 10 were airfields, 10 were communications, and 20 were command.

The 40 F/A-22s providing CAP immediately came under attack from Tnemrot aircraft. Tnemrot scrambled 100 F-15Cs and 75 Su-27s immediately, all firing as soon as their wheels were off the runway. The F/A-22s were high up, traveling fast, having a talley on their aggressors immediately. They lobbed their AIM-120s immediately. F/A-18Es also fired off their AIM-120s, attacking the fighters from a totally different position.

It was a major air battle to boot and both sides took losses. Due to the tactical advantages of the Layarteb aircraft, they took the least losses, losing 7 F/A-22s and 3 F/A-18Es. All 175 Layarteb aircraft were destroyed, help provided by SAMs from the Layarteb fleet and other fleets. Destroyed on the ground were 25 B-52s and 16 Tu-160s. Layarteb aircraft claimed a 100% success rate on their 100 targets.

Operations would be ongoing all night with aircraft flying CAP 24/7 and strike 24/7. The next way would be by heavy bombers and other stealth aircraft. Air defenses were still a major threat but the force of war had swept through Tnemrot.

OOC: I'll have an ORBAT up for Tnemrot forces tomorrow.

Veisser Military Airport, North Germania...

Inside the main building, people were bustling about. Maps and radars were on planning room walls, and various personnel crowded the building.


Feldmarshal 1st Class Rudolf Küll <walking quickly through the military strategy base in uniform, followed by various officers and speaking to various personnel officials>: The fleet has commenced its assault of Tnemrot. Prepare the B-2's and B-52's for Tnemrot bombardment. Ready my transport. I was an escort of 6 MiG-33's and 4 MiL-1's. General Hecke, prepare the ESPK for Operation: Sickle. I want you on that transport. Your work in Smolny with Layarteb was outstanding. I want your advice with the current situation in Tnemrot.

Küll picks up the phone and speaks with the Reichchancellor himself...

The Reichchancellor: Rudolf, send an additional 10 U-212 Attack Submarines, 8 Stockholm Class Missile Boats, 12 Type 23 Frigates, and 8 Brandenburg Class Frigates to the fleet. I want you in Layarteb as soon as possible.

Küll: Understood, Herr Chancellor. On my way.

Küll hangs up the phone and speaks to the foreign affairs minister.

Küll: Mannstein, telegram Layarteb. Request permission that I and a small escort enter Layarteb airport. Inform Layarteb command that Feldmarshal 1st Class Rudolf Küll, General 1st Class Hecke, and General Friedrich enter the country.

Mannstein follows orders and sends the following:

The North Germanian carrier Klein picked up advancing Tnemrot Su-33's on radar.

Admiral Hamlin: Enemy aircraft advancing! Missiles fired! Launch the anti-bombardment missiles! All pilots, man your aircraft!

12 MiL-1 fighters jumped off the runway to engage the Su-33's.

Captain Schmidt: Group 9, engage targets 3 o'clock.

3 MiL-1's broke off from the group and fired missiles at 2 Su-33's. 2 missiles struck each Su-33's, and both were destroyed mid-air.

The rest of the group fought the Tnemrot aircraft until the battle was over. Only 8 MiL-1's returned to the Klein. The conflict with Tnemrot had officially began.

**STATEMENT FROM TNEMROT**

THESE FORCES HAVE NO JUSTIFICATION FOR THIS ATTACK...FREEDOM ISLAND BELONGS TO US...WE WILL RETALIATE IMMEDIATELY...

**END TRANSMISSION**

OOC: Oh wait..sorry! Bad typo. Or maybe I'm just a little confused...

Hirgizstan Defense Transmission:
Dear Allies although we are still involved in the war against Tnemrot our nation has been threatened by one, Nazi Fox, he has sent GLA Terrorists against my nation and has decalred he is hostile, Hirgizstan did NOTHING to provoke this attack and i wish for support for a nuclear strike against his nation. I wish for conventional force support as well. I need not take any military forces from out present campaign but i ask for support from Layarteb and North Germania, possibly 2 Boomer subs each, but will ask for this support before i decide to post the beginning of the campaign.
-Transmission Ends-

The recent arrival of 2 sqadrons of 30 British made Tornado GR4's has been of much talk with the allied High Command. These capable, if slightly older aircraft are capable of carrying the unique Hunting JP233 anti-runway munition/store. This capable weapons system will be used in conjunction with precision JDAM strikes by Hirgizstanian EB52's. The EB52's will be escorted by 10 F4J Phantom's and 10 F111 Aardvarks. The Gr4's will be accompanied by 20-25 F16's that will also make limited bombing runs. The EB52's will also make JDAM strikes on SAM sites and as of SOP in the region both sets of planes will be accompanied by EA6 'Prowler' ECM warfare planes.



The Strikes were carried out in the dark hours of this morning, the planes returned to base/ship just as the sun was coming up. The BDA by U2 spy planes confirmed a 100% success rate. All assigned runways had been totalled beyond repair by mulitiple strikes by the GR4's. Every known land SAM was destroyed by JDAM's and Tnemrots ATC instalation and telephone directory were taken out. There are still many mobile SAM sites and patriot launchers in and around Tnemrot and operation against these will be co-operated soon. Hirgizstanian planes were realtively unscathed, the Prowlers did their jobs well, however 2 F4's had to go down over the sea around Freedom Island due to their injuries, a Naval Rescue Commando Force was sent out and retrieved the pilots who were seen to go down by a Layartebian Marine Force Recon squad on Freedom Island. Some other planes recieved minor wounds but repairs should take no longer than a week in most cases.
Hirgizstan now requests that it be given another AO.


The Airborne Army Commando's made a link up with Layarteb's MFR on Freedom Island sometime this afternoon. They will co-ordinate further special forces operations on the Island, they are currently awaiting an input from North Germanian SF. Currently a strike force of Navy SEAL's are being loaded up to be dropped with 2 LSV's onto Freedom Island to further raids against Tnemrot's instalations out there, they will be using World War 2 SAS tactics.

Again i further my request for support against the Rogue and Terrorist nation of 'Nazi Fox'.

To Hirgizstan
Tnemrot currently has no presence on Freedom Island but that doesn't mean they won't try. We are expecting paratroopers at any time and trust me they are elite. They were one of the few units that we could not defeat in the war for independance.

We urge you to concentrate on airfields, air defense sites, communications, and command.

To North Germania
Tnemrot currently has no presence on Freedom Island but that doesn't mean they won't try. We are expecting paratroopers at any time and trust me they are elite. They were one of the few units that we could not defeat in the war for independance. We are curious if you have special forces in the region that you can land there. We have 400 LCACs and can provide landing assistance.

We urge you to concentrate on airfields, air defense sites, storage, and weapons facilities.

Information Release
ICBM facilities show no activity and we don't expect them to be. There are 10 facilities and we should probably send a joint SF team to work on that. My 1st Special Forces unit (Delta Force) will be my group to attack. I think we should hit these all at once and sabotage it so that they cannot launch their missiles. I'll take 4 of the facilities and hit them with 24 men per facility (4 6-man teams). I'm going to attack at 2000 EST 12.17. Forces will be deployed immediately.

I'll be taking out leadership, other, and space targets in the HVT range. All Non-HVTs should be considered targets of opportunity as they are not vital to this war effort but still of some importance.

I'll Post an RP soon.

Imperial Layarteb Air Force (ILAF) 5 B-1s, 15 F-15Es, 15 F-16Cs, 20 F-16CJs, and 10 F-111Fs took off and immediately climbed to angels 25. 20 F/A-22s and 20 F-15Cs were already providing CAP over Tnemrot airspace. 12 F-14Ds from the carrier were all airborne, providing CAP as well. Tnemrot still had a sizeable air force and it was still a threat.

The B-1s and F-111s were tasked with hitting 6 airfields. The F-16CJs would be their escorts. The F-15Es and F-16Cs were tasked with hitting 15 space facilities, mostly ones that controlled overhead satellites.

When all forces entered Tnemrot airspace the fighters took off. 80 MiG-29SEs took off from the nearest Tnemrot airbase and headed for the aircraft at Mach 1.5. The F/A-22s were unseen though and they immediately lobbed off their AMRAAMs. The first volley downed all 20 targets but still the MiGs kept coming. The second volley nailed another 20 more and the third did the same. With 20 MiG-29s within arms reach of the F-111s and B-1s, quick action had to be taken. The F-16CJs and F-15s launched fourth and sent a volley of AIM-120s and AIM-9Xs at their targets, downing all 20 MiG-29s but at a hefty price. 6 of the F-111s were down and now they could only attack 4 airfields.

Only 4 of the 6 airfields were hit and only 5 of the 15 space facilities. Layarteb lost 10 of their F-16Cs overhead as well as 2 F-15Es to SAM and fighter fire as 35 MiG-21s jumped the strike group. Only 20 of the 35 MiGs were downed.

DOH!! double post

North Germanian ESPK special forces troops are onboard a Manatee ship within the fleet. They can be dropped in by helicopter if needed.

The bomb run against Tnemrot went according to plan, with 97% of targets destroyed, and no aircraft lost. I total of 19 air defense sites and 12 airfields destroyed (with one damaged). An estimated 120 various aircraft were destroyed. These included B-52's, B-2's, and 18 various types of fighters. Several Tnemrot fighters attempted to engage the bombers, but the strikes on the airfields left little room for a quick assault. The enemy fighters that did manage to engage the bombers were easily knocked down by F-22's and MiG-33's.

To North Germania
Deploy your special forces to facilities 5, 6, 7. Attack at 2000 EST 12.17. Disable ability to launch all missiles.

To Hirgizstan
Deploy your special forces to facilities 8, 9, 10. Attack at 2000 EST 12.17. Disable ability to launch all missiles.

The C-2 landed on the ILN Yankee catching the third wire. Out of it climbed twenty-four elite soldiers of the 1st Special Forces Division, the "Delta Force." They left their gear and weaponry on the COD and went to the briefing room below, where there commander was waiting.

"Men sit down and get comfortable. We're going to take out ICBM facilities 1 through 4 in about 19 hours. The goal is to disable their ability to launch any of their missiles. Fortunately for us facilities 1 and 2 are only 20 miles apart and facilities 3 and 4 are only 120 miles from 1 and 2, also 20 miles apart. You'll go in HALO style men, one team of six per facility. You're goal will be to sabotage the fuel pumps so that they cannot fuel their missiles. You know everything else I am sure." They all nodded. "Good then there is nothing more to say. Questions?" They kept silent. "Very well. We're refueling the COD and you'll be taking off at 0200. Time on target is 0320 for 1, 0330 for 2, 0400 for 3, 0410 for 4. You'll have until 2000 to get to the facility. At 2000 you will attack the facilities. We estimate that you will have 90 minutes before reinforcements arrive. You are to be out of there in 60. Make your way to the extraction zone and we'll pick you up with HH-60s. Dismissed!"

The twenty-four men grabbed as much shut-eye as possible before their trip and they took off on-time at 0200. They parachuted into their targets from an altitude of 33,500 feet, the service ceiling for the C-2. EA-6B and F-14D escorts made it so the C-2 was never seen. The EA-6Bs destroyed two radars along the way and the F-14Ds shot down a pair of B-52s and six Su-27s.

The flight landed with not a single shred of damage to them.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, F-19s and F-24s were being prepared for their second combat mission in their history. Their first was used to level a presidental compound in NewGanEden. The 10 F-19A Ghostrider's were the newest attack-fighters of the Imperial Layarteb Air Force. They were designed to fly at high-altitude, 60,000 feet, to their target at a speed of Mach 1.8. They had a radar signature of 1/10000th of a square-yard or 1/1000th that of a F-117 and a seagull. They each carried 2 AIM-9X Sidewinders, 2 AIM-120C AMRAAMs, 480 rounds of 20MM M61 ammunition, and up to 10,000 lb. of bombs. For this mission, five of the aircraft were loaded with 8 GBU-35s, a total of 40. The other five were loaded with 20 Small Diameter Bombs, a total of 100. They were to attack 16 radars and 4 leadership targets. The F-24A Knightowl was an escort-fighter. It was built to the same specifications as the F-19A, though it was a much different aircraft, structurally. The F-24A would cruise with the F-19A and be loaded with 4 AIM-9Xs, 8 AIM-120Cs, and 650 rounds of 20MM M61 ammunition.

They took off at 0155, all twenty aircraft streaking down the two runways, side-by-side in five rows, each thirty-seconds behind the other. They then climbed to 60,000 feet in only two minutes, leveling off and increasing speed to 1,190 mph. They were designed to go 1,350 mph. The trip to Tnemrot would take about an hour and a half. They would then slow down to 600 mph, attack their targets, and return to base, refueling along the way once.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The deck of the ILN Yankee was busy. After the COD, EA-6s, and F-14s took off, ten F/A-18Es took off and ten F/A-18Cs took off. They were heading for numerous surface contacts approximately two hundred nautical miles away from the fleet.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Tnemrot warships steamed on at twenty knots. They were 10 Kirov's and 7 Ticonderoga's. They were under strict orders to sink the ILN Yankee and they were planning to do just that, as soon as they came into range. They did not see the incomming Hornets though as they were flying at only 120 feet off the waves and at 600 mph. The F/A-18Cs were loaded with 4 AGM-84s each and the F/A-18Es had 4 as well. This gave them a total of 80 missiles, more than the ships could defend against.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Up high at 60,000 feet the group of ten F-19s and ten F-24s streaked overhead, undetected completely. They broke off for their attacks and slowed down, dropping their ordinance 25 miles away from their targets, then turning back towards Layarteb. They increased speed back to 1,190 mph and would fly 125 miles to the tanker. They would descend to 30,000 feet, refuel and head home at 40,000 feet and 1,190 mph.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Air activity over Tnemrot wasn't particularly strong. The F-24s detected 20 Su-35s and 40 MiG-31s. They immediately sprung into action though they were of no threat because they did not see the F-19s and F-24s. Their AIM-120s were fired off from 60,000 feet and at maximum range. The 120s streaked through the sky and descended on their targets at Mach 4, completely pulverizing the 60 aircraft. The aircraft were completely unknown as to their attackers and all of a sudden they were dead.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Hornets locked onto their targets at 80 nautical miles and launched their missiles at 75. All 80 missiles headed to their targets. There were at least 4 missiles per target With twelve of the targets having 5 missiles. They too never knew what hit them, the Harpoons hitting at a 62% hit-rate, sinking all 17 ships.

The Hornets landed back on the carrier, unharmed and proud.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The F-19s and F-24s landed after their three and a half hour mission. They parked their aircraft in the special hardened, underground shelters, and went to debriefing. This was the second time they were used and once again they had a 100% success rate. All of the F-24 pilots were already aces, taking down six aircraft each, one more than the required five to become an ace.

That is confirmed. The ESPK group Omega Blue will be responsible for the missile sites. A total of 21 soldiers will be sent. We will release information relevant to the operation once it is over.

From North Germania i request support for an NBC strike against the terrorist nation of Nazi Fox, operations may be imminent, will you provide support?

OOC: Will post RP on SF raids later today.

____________________________________________________

To: Hirgizstani and Nazi Fox High Command, respectively
From: Reichchancellor Wilhelm Einheit, III; Veisser, North Germania
Subject: Nazi Fox-Hirgizstan Conflict


I would like to begin this statement by saying that North Germania is generally opposed to the use of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons. However, the Armed Korps of North Germania will, if a nuclear, biological, or chemical attack is the last means of action, aid its ally with full, unyielding, and complete nuclear, biological, or chemical response against the nation assaulting its ally with nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons. I will not disclose the amount of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons which the nation owns and maintains, but I ensure you that they are more than enough to create catastrophic effects against any country. The NBC Korps has been put on highest alert and is prepared. However, the Diplomatik Korps of North Germania would first like to analyze the situation and speak with Nazi Fox and Hirgizstan in a diplomatic summit. If agreed, the thread will be created by myself. I also request a link to the thread in which the crisis lies therein.


Though my favor is by nature towards Hirgizstan for its allied service in Smolny, I will not be unjust or unfair in an arbitrational meeting. I wish for peace on both sides, as I 1) Do not wish the deaths of the people my ally, and 2) I do not wish the deaths of the people of Nazi Fox. The use of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons should be only used in a last resort attempt to maintain sovereignty and protection of one's nation and peoples.

I beseech the leader of Nazi Fox to consider the fact that if he does not agree to a peaceful meeting between the leaders of the respective sovereign and autonomous nations of North Germania, Hirgizstan, and his own, then he may face the full destructive force of a North Germanian protective retaliation.

I would like to underline the fact to Nazi Fox that I will serve as an uninvolved party and will not choose favored sides. I propose a summit in which the three respective nations and two respective allies of each nation involved be held. In other words, Hirgizstan brings two allies with him to the summit, I bring two of mine, Nazi Fox brings two of his. The summit will be created if/as soon as both nations agree.

In conclusion, I would like all relevant nations to consider the ends and consequences of a nuclear, biological, or chemical attack against any nation. The effects are not shortly forgotten, but remain in the minds of all the world.

I request this post be forwarded to the nation of Nazi Fox in either the thread concerning it or in a telegram.

Sincerly,
Reichchancellor Wilhelm Kübler Einheit, III

Well said NG. Makes me think twice that I already deployed an SSBN but it's there to "keep the peace" :).

Thank you both for your support but he is not taking telegrams from my nation anymore, could this mean he has given up or what?



At 10.30 hours last nite the briefing room of a Layartebian AFB was bustling with soldiers from Hirgizstan, the door to the room was guarded by two armed guards from the HMP. Inside the room was 3 squads of 10 men from Hirgizstan's elite Airborne Army Commado's. The men were of the 2nd Special Forces Commando Group, the 'Panthers'. They were about to be briefed.

"Listen up, we all know the situation, so i don't want any hard-ons you hear me! Now, tonight we're going for a little stroll" The officer flicked a switch and then another, the lights went out and an interactive briefing board came up with a map of Tnemrots ICBM installations 8,9 and 10 enlarged. "Group one will get installation 8, group two'll have 9 and group 3 you'll be going for 10. The layout is almost identical to all three installations, built by the same people. The only thing that changes is the surrounding terrain and as it so happens its all pretty remote and hilly so you will all be dropped a klick or more from the target. The mission is very simple, destroy their launch capabilities. Go for the Fuel tanks so they can' power the missiles and if you can get to the electrics building and blow it and the wires running to it from each launch tube. The fuel should be sufficient if you run into problems. You will be using silenced weaponry so this is a highly covert mission, you are not to be seen, if you are compromised you must do what you can but you all know the drill, don't let it turn into a gangfu** and none of you are to be captured, this is black ops gentlemen. If you'll each go to your designated areas your IO (intelligence officer) will brief you on your individual missions. Good luck and godspeed gentlemen."


At around 12.00 the AAC groups were coming down into their LZ's by HAHO parachutes.


AAR: Each group was successful. There were no casualties taken by any group and all groups managed to complete their primary objectives without compromise. The 3rd Group were able to disable the electronics bunker and were also able to damage a number of missile silo's because the base was on skeleton crew due to the Layartebian bombing effort elsewhere. A U2 Flyover at 3.15 confirmed that each target had been destroyed.

Hirgizstan requests sending recon teams to each nations assigned missile installations to further the accuracy of the BDA's and to ensure that the bases have been properly incapacitated.


The 3 Missouri class battleships led by the 'Hirgizstan' were connected with comms this afternoon, their transmission was picked up by a high flying JSTARS command and control plane. They will arive at around 15.00 tomorrow, where should they be stationed, their guns have a massive range and can do an incredible amount of damage, they also have a high anti-submarine potential due to the titianium enforced frontal hull, used for ramming submarines to detrimental effect, as well as this they also sport a high amount of depth charges, almost twice that carried on Hirgizstan's 'Sprunace' class destroyers.

Thank you both for your support but he is not taking telegrams from my nation anymore, could this mean he has given up or what?.

Eh to hell with him.

LOL Hirg we're attacking at 2000 12.17 EST. That's in another 6.5 hours :)

Hirgizstan, the infamous 4th and 7th Armed Korps divisions will assist you against Nazi Fox. Those were the divisions that pushed into Petrograd and kept going into Chaliska City. They're my pride. My ICBM sites have been readied as well.

I telegrammed Nazi Fox my former post. I'll wait to see what he has to say, if anything. Maybe 7 million soldiers will change his position on the matter.

Hehehe. We'll see what he's got. My F-19, F-24 pilots are ITCHING for another mission.

I am ready and able for killing! 8)

Ya know we should form like the October alliance. We're the terrible foursome of October :)

Double post

Good idea! 8)
Are you guys settled here with your war, or should I intervene?

The time had come, 2000. Delta Team 1 ingressed into the facility by way of an airvent on the north-face of the mountain. This facility was home to roughly two hundred ICBMs, the smallest of the 10 facilities. They were armed with suppressed M4s and silenced MP5s, MP5SD5s. Their pistols were all Mk.23 SOCUM pistols, silenced as well.

The air vent tunnel was one hundred meters long, a distance traveled in total darkness and total silence. They estimated reistance from seventy-five people, of that twenty-five would be armed with assault rifles, twenty with pistols, and the rest with just their hands. The team of six was really two teams of three and once they got into the air filtration room, they split up. The first three went via the south ducts and the other three took the west ducts.

The southern ducts led to the control room while the west ones led to the fuel storages. The trip from the air filtration room to the control room was roughly six hundred meters but it wasn't a one-two-three trip. The team of three broke out of the ducts after about ten meters and took off their NODs, silenced MP5s ready. They made their way down a hallway and up a flight of stairs without meeting a single person. This would change at the top of the stairs.

The distance from the air filtration room to the fuel storage was about a kilometer, through winding passages, tunnels, and all sorts of hallways. They would travel one hundred and fifty meters through the ducts and drop into a clean room that led into a research lab, which further led to a cafeteria. They dropped down without their NODs and their MP5s raised and immediately opened fire, nailing two guards with M16s and two lab technicians who were unarmed. In the cafeteria, there were sixteen people, ten were pistol totting officers and six were normal workers.

They immediately dropped two armed guards at the top of the stairs and then found a relatively empty passage, only two workers being present at the other end. The control room was another two hallways away and they had been lucky enough to elude the cameras. That wouldn't last for very long either. The two passages did pass by a security office, a security office with two guards sound asleep. They were quickly shot and they progressed onward, arriving at the control room quickly.

The way to the fuel storage was relatively empty. The hallways and ducts were clear and the passages were lined with a total of seven workers and two officers and then they were there, at the fuel storage, guarded of course but by four soldiers with M4s. They were easily dropped and so far team two had yet to be seen or heard from. Now came the fun part, planting the C4.

The control room was busy. There were four officers and eight workers. The three men busted in shooting, all getting headshots and upper chest shots, nailing the twelve men in less than twelve seconds. They were clear here and they reported in their microphone, getting a report of ALL CLEAR back from the other team. They went to their sabotage plans and while one of them sat at the main terminal computer, the other two guarded the two doors.

The C4 was planted, a pound on each of the twenty-five storage tanks. The room was carved from the mountain and there was water dripped in various spots from the rocky ceiling above and the walls. They set the timers to remote and vacated, back-tracking towards the control room.

The second team arrived in no time, meeting no resistance along the way. There were still some fifteen armed guards, five workers, and nine officers unaccounted for and that worried them because they were highly vulnerable now. Two men were working at the computer, inserting a deadly computer virus that was meant to completely lock out and shut down the entire system, as well as completely screw up the launch codes and coordinates.

The four men guarding the two doors were paying very close attention to the fact that footsteps were echoing down one of the hallways as well as voices, five voices and five distinct sets of footsteps. The two men prepared their weapons and looked down the hallway, leaning from the left and right, one crouched and one standing.

Soon, the five unaccounted workers came around a corner, only to meet fifteen 9MM bullets and immediately fall to the ground, two bullets in their neck and one in their forehead. The virus was inserted and within sixty seconds, the computer was completely spazzed out.

That was their cue. They immediately double backed towards the air filtration room, only this time they met heavy resistance. An alarm went off when one of the officers walked into the security room. There were now fifteen armed guards hiding throughout the hallway in doors and around bends, all with M4s and M16s. There were also the nine officers, totting Beretta's and Colt 1911s.

It was a helluva firefight, one that lasted nearly half an hour, the twenty-four guards and officers dying very slowly. However, they were unharmed. They exited the facility the same way they entered and made way for the extraction zone, some fifty kilometers away at double time. When they were a kilometer from the facility, the squad leader hit the detonator and a slight rumble shook the ground. The fuel storage room was completely sealed off and thus no flames or smoke would escape but the rumble gave them the hint that all of the fuel in the entire compound was now up in smoke, burning inside a room that was completely sealed off at very high temperatures, probably getting hotter as the pressure and heat built up. The haylon systems kicked in though and extinguished the blaze rather quickly, though not before all the fuel became unusuable.

The squad met up with the other three squads as the sun rose the next morning. A pair of HH-60s from the ILN Yankee picked them up as their F/A-18 and F-14 escorts shot down sixteen MiG-29s and fourteen MiG-21s. Their mission was a success. Now what of the other facilities?

The arrival of the 3 Missouri class battleships was signalled by a massive gun salute from all 3 ships. The land of Freedom Island shook beneath the awesome power of the guns, they guns could be heard almost in every city in Tnemrot, the 'Hirgizstan's' crew even, rather appropriately, played loudly the music 'The Boys Are Back In Town' after the guns had been silenced. The mighty ships made the largest CVN's of any of the fleets seem small, they were longer and much taller, they were emblazoned with glory and prowess as they took their place among the Hirgizstanian fleet.

The attack was set for 2100, Freedom Island was the target. The first conventional Hirgizstanian units on the ground would be Marines from the HMC troopship 'Harpoon', the 1st Brigade of the 3rd Marine Division were aboard, along with their LCAV's, helicopters and 20 Abrams tanks.
The 2 Recon Plattons assigned to the forward elements of the 1st Brigade took off by CH-46 at 2055, they landed and linked up with Layarteb's MFR at 2135 and began prepping and marking the beaches for the forward elements of the 1st Brigade (2 Companies, complete with LCAV's and 1 armoured platoon of 10 Abrams and 5 M113's which were in their own smaller troopship. The Navy SeaBee's landed at 2255 and began rolling out metal 'boardwalks' for the armour to get up off the shingle. The first LCAV's landed at 2225, 25 in all. They were filled with troops who began disgorging as the LCAV's cleared the beach. The armour arrived in 4 waves, first the M113's and then two loads of 5 Abrams. The entire forward forces were on Freedom Island as twighlight gave way to a starry night, around 2300.

The SeeBee's returned and in their place arrived a LCAC carrying two command vehicles and 2 Trucks carrying the equipment to build a forward base. Helicopters from the 'Harpoon' made sweeping runs into Freedom Island but drew no fire. The invasion was watched by the 4th squad of the AAC 'Panthers'. North Germanian Forces and Layartebian Forces are expected to arrive in intervals to the left and right of Hirgizstans forward base. Sweeping operations are expected to begin tomorrow night if there are no occurances during the day, where the plots will be taken for the Missouri's guns, who will also provide Supporting Fire for all other national forces if needed.

:: sigh :: Hirg buddy 2100. Its not 2100 yet.

The north side of Freedom Island was completely void of military presence. It was also the quickest way to land on the island. The landing force was still being loaded and prepped on the mainland. The force was thirty-five LCACs. Ten were carrying one M1A2 Abrams each, two were carrying ten Humvees each, ten were carrying one PzH 2000 each, ten were carrying five M2A3 Bradleys each, and the other three were carrying ammunition and supplies. Spread out throughout the thirty-five landing craft was seven hundred and fifty soldiers, all elite and Special Forces, belonging to the 3rd Special Forces Unit, Force Recon. They would meet up with the twenty-four soldiers from Force Recon already on the island.

Tnemrot presence on Freedom Island had thus been nonexistance, not until four hours ago. Ten C-17s and ten An-124s had penetrated defenses and airdropped two thousand paratroopers onto the island. These were the elite of the Tnemrot conventional forces and had thus been undefeated at any battle in their entire history. They wrecked havoc on Layarteb forces in the War for Independance and had it not been for the ability of Layarteb to completely shut off the supply lines, they would have ensured victory for Tnemrot. They weren't the only forces on Freedom Island. Somehow, Tnemrot landing forces managed to put another two thousand soldiers, forty T-80Us, one hundred Humvees, thirty-five M2A3 Bradleys, thirty 2S19 152MM Artillery Howitzers, and about sixty-five support vehicles. A flyover by AV-8Bs on reconnaissance had to make an emergency landing back at base due to damage sustained from MANPAD fire. It is now estimated that some four-thousand MANPADs are on Freedom Island, thus making aircraft flyovers virtually impossible at altitudes under fifteen thousand feet. Hornets and Tomcats from the blockaide force would be restricted to altitudes over fifteen thousand feet as well as Harriers and Falcons from the mainland.

For Freedom Island it would be almost entirely a ground battle. If Tnemrot forces managed to gain control of the Air Defense HQ on Freedom Island it would effectively eliminate ALL air supportas there were Patriot, HUMRAAM, and Hawk sites throughout Freedom Island, as well as an airbase they could disable. They were still on the extreme southern end of the island though.

Layarteb forces would be escorted by Apache and Cobra helicopters, armed with Hellfire and TOW missiles. They would be providing cover on the beachhead, just incase Tnemrot forces had managed to get there. It would most likely be an easy landing, they didn't forsee any real threats. There weren't.

The landing forces were across to the island and back in minimal time. There were now roughly 800 Layarteb forces on Freedom Island, all on the northern beach. Hirgizstan forces were somewhere else and so where North Germania's forces. They were spread out but the three would have to hold fast as Tnemrot forces would most likely secure the major cities first. In the south, there was the city of Anaka (not on map. Roughly 23 miles from the Tnemrot landing zone) and in the north, there was Freedom City.

Tnemrot forces secured Anaka within an hour, finding a strong pro-Tnemrot presence in the city. Layarteb forces secured Freedom City within two hours. All was quiet and would most likely remain so until the sun rose.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Operations over Tnemrot were high. B-2s and F-117s were attacking six leadership targets and two space facilities. They succeeded in hitting four of the six leadership targets and the two space targets. F-14Ds and F/A-18Cs from the carrier on CAP patrols shot down ten An-124s, ten C-17s, five E-3s, and sixteen Su-34s. F-15Cs, F/A-22As, and F-24As shot down ninety F-15Cs, one hundred and fourteen Su-27s, and fifty-nine Tu-160s. F-19As attacking an airfield destroyed the hardened shelters and forty-four Su-24s on the ground. EF-111s and EA-6s managed to jam all of the enemy SAMs and destroyed two radars. Reconnaissance flights showed that fifty-three air defense sites were destroyed, fifty-two radars were destroyed, and of the twelve hundred forty-eight high value targets, one hundred and three were destroyed.

Layarteb sustained the following losses: two EF-111A, six F-15C, and eight F-16Cs.

As news filtered down to the Hirgiztsanian Marines that the Layartebian invasion had begun in earnest, they didn't celebrate because they were aware that the 'Panthers' had just relayed information, and it was bad.
Tnemrot had begun landing their paratroopers, estimates were 1500-2000. Briefings from cerain Layartebian commanders had told the Marines that the paratroopers were some bad motherfuck*rs. They had been simply deadly in the war for independance and would be one hell of a match.

Throughout the night Hirgizstanian forward element marines moved off to secure another base further inland, and to vacate their positions for more of the 1st Brigade. As the night turned to the small hours of the next morning reports came in of an AH-1W going down over Anaka and another taking heavy MANPADS fire elsewhere. Then reports started filtering in that the forward elements had been engaged in a valley and were in a retreating firefight.

The Captain leading the two LCAV's into the valley had done so reluctantly under higher orders. They were ambushed at a river basin and the treeline exploded with RPG fire. The Marines, luckily, were trailing behind the LCAV's, as per SOP. But the Paratroopers knew this, somehow, and they fired into the lines of men. The LCAV's opened up with their twin heavy machine guns and raked the treeline. As they opened up, the treeline burst forth and the paratroopers made their move. 2 M551 Sheridan Light Airborne Tanks came out of the treeline. They both fired, straight at the LCAV's. Both exploded in a jolting explosion. Both vehicled rocked backword and out of one jumped a crewman, on fire and screaming. The Paratroopers shot him as they ran. The Hirgizstanian Marines had retreated to a rocky incline on their own sid of the valley and were expecting hand to hand, by the looks of the men and their fixed bayonets. The Captain could be seen reading from a Naval map and was shouting loudly but calmly into an earpiece. Suddenly he stopped, for those listening their was a distant 'Thud', 'Thud', and a final 'Thud', most marines didn't hear it and they looked mezmerized when they saw the Captain smiling!!!!

They sounded like freight trains, 3 enormous shells sailed over the Marines postion and there were explosions that simply rocked the very foundations of the planet it seemed. There were great plumes of smoke and the Marines jumped up to find the Paratroopers looking round at their treeline. It simply was there anymore. The two Sheridan tanks had actually flipped over, one was lying on its side, in the river basin, the other was resting with its turret on a rock formation smoking from one side. The Hirgizstanian Marines knew what had happend and opened up quickly killing about 10 Paratroopers before ducking down as they heard the freight train noises again. This time the rounds hit close...very close. Most of the Marines who were a few metres forward had gone deaf and could hear ringing. All Marines had debry over them, but some, some had limbs and blood on their uniforms. They quickly but at the same time hesitantly began to clear it off. There was screaming from somewhere, over the rocks. A marine lobbed a grenade and it soon stopped.
Over the hill lay about 2 platoons of Paratroopers and their command and support, most where dead, though two jeeps could be seen to take off up the hill behind the now crater marked treeline. The Marines got upo to police up the bodies and inspect theirs and their own equipment.

Command felt that the Paratroopers would realise they couldn't win, after all they had learned the firepower the battleship group could deliver, and they had lost Freedom City to Layarteb. The Marines began bringing the rest of their armour onto the island, in a preparation for a push toward the second city of Anaka where there was said to be a combat airfield that would be bringing in Heavy armour, and more bloody paratroopers, the Marines hoped that they would be left alone for the night.

Mortars rained down on the beachhead all night. The 'Panthers' where up in the hills searching for the crews of the mortars and they silenced the mortars at around 0600.

Today the Marines were fortifying their positions as the air war was kicked up. They observed Harriers and all sorts of naval aircraft fying over their positions for most of the day. The attack on Anaka will be waited out, at least it will be delayed until the North Germanians can make a landing.

The North Germanian landing crafts stormed towards the Tnemrot beachead, supported by fire from 8 Iowa class battleships. Hundreds of Bundeswehr guards and tens and tens of Leopard 2A6 EX tanks blitzed forward with shocking speed. Losses were heavy, but the 4th Armed Korps division ripped through the heart of the Tnemrot defenses.

Lighting-fast napalm runs from MiL-1 jets literally incenerated advancing Tnemrot soldiers. The MiL-1 jets, supported by MiG-33's encountered stiff air resistance, but managed to provide undying support for the ground troops. A Germanian beachead has been established.

Tnemrot forces continue to assault the area heavily, though bomb runs and continual landings manage to keep the enemy at bay. For the moment.

Estimated North Germanian deaths stand at 580 within an hour. Tnemrotian deaths are estimated to be higher, due to the speed and sheer power of the assault. Feldmarshal 1st Class Rudolf Küll is inside the beachead camp and is forming further ground assault plans. ESPK soldiers eliminated missile sites 5, 6, and 7 with no losses. ESPK forces are also being airdropped into Tnemrot land for raids and various operations.

- North Germania

Two Hirgizstanian F4 Phantom's rocketed off the CVN. They flew quickly inland, low over the beaches. Their target was the city of Anaka, they were dropping canisters of Napalm on what intel called 'Heavy troop concentrations' at a makeshift airfield. The planes flew in very fast and very low. As the outskirts of Anaka came up in the pilots HUD, their cockpits lit up with red lights and warning alarms to say they had been locked by this that or the other. Just as soon as the warnings had come on, the dials and sounds went off again. This was because high up over Anaka there were 2 A6 Prowler ECM eaircraft jamming the enemies defence radars. This didn't stop anything though. SAM sites loosed missiles into the air and Flak gunners fired wildy. They couldn't yet see the Phantoms, but as they came up over a small 'mountain' that looked down on the city they saw the planes. The planes suddenly banked upward, and levelled out, both hit their afterburners and the two canisters on each plane fell away quickly as the planes began to climb. They would have to wait for BDA to ascertain the damage.

As the Phantoms left the area the A6's stayed on to protect another incoming aircraft. It was a C130 with a spectacularly destrcuctive cargo- a BLU 82 'Dasiy Cutter' Blast bomb. The hercules was just above the clouds and was making a B line for the airstrip below. As it neared the crew in the back prepped the bomb and loosed it out of the back ramp, it quickly fell away and a few minutes later a massive explosion could be heard in the cockpit of the Hercules.

A U2 flew over about an hour later. The report was mixed. The BLU82 had hit just over the bottom portion of the runway, mainly destroying that end, rendering it useless, but thats all it had hit. The two Napalm munitions had been a mixed bag aswell. One had hit a tent camp of some sort, whatever was in it was now some Extra Crispy something. The other had gone wide and hit what seemed to be a residential area. The damage looked concentrated but there may have been some civilian casualities.

All in all the 1st Brigaeds armour was now on the beach head. There altogehter 20 Abrams tanks, 15 M113's and 10 Pirhana Fire support vehicles. An airstrip was being assembled by parts flown out from the 'Harpoon', it is scheduled to be in use by noon tomorrow and the first flights in will be cargo planes with assortments of armour in, namely a 10 more Abrams tanks which will arrive by C5 over 3 days. The buildup of armour should take until around the 27th when Hirgizstan will hopefully make an armoured attack in Anaka. The CIC of the Hirgizstanian forces has suggested that each invasion forces pick a sector of Freedom Island, for example Layarteb takes the outlying area arounf Freedom City, Hirgizstan takes Anaka and its surrounds and North Germania takes another sector. This is entirely up to the Commander of the Coalition, a Layartebian officer.

**TO HIRGIZSTAN & NORTH GERMANIA**

Battle orders are as follows:
Hirgizstan: Anaka
North Germania: Middle Sector
Layarteb: Freedom City

Expect HEAVY resistance. Another landing force came in during the night with some 100 pieces of armor, artillery, and vehicles as well as an additional 3,000 soldiers. SAM sites in operation are MIM-104 PAC-2 GEMs and PAC-3s, HUMRAAMs, Stingers, Hawks, and SA-11 Gadfly's. Air ops are highly deadly and recommend heavy jamming. Note that radar control operators have deployed anti-jamming countermeasures effectively eliminating the ability of the EA-6B and the EF-111. Use extreme caution. Freedom City looks quiet but we're expecting an offensive in the next hour.

**END TRANSMISSION**

The radio lit up with screams and chatter. 5,000 Tnemrot soldiers armed with T-80Us, T-72s, M1A1s, and Leclerc main battle-tanks, BMP-4 and M2A3 IFVs, M113 APCs, and 2S19 152mm Howitzers had just pushed an offensive on Freedom City. Enemy artillery immediately pinned down the forward Force Recon soldiers and they weren't too happy about it. SAMs made air support impossible and naval gunfire would decimate too much of the city, which still had roughly 15M civilians living throughout it. It was bad, very bad. Layarteb PzH 2000s were in position but were out of range of the enemy assault force. It looked like they were going to get through half of the city before Layarteb could put a stop to their advance.

They did. Half of the city was under Tnemrot control within an hour and of the 10 forward operators, they were presumed dead. Layarteb would counter-attack when the night fell again. Tnemrot forces weren't making any advances nor where they sending out reconnaissance, that much was established.

Layarteb had fought in Corinth during the Smolny Civil War and done well in urban operations but they came in from all four sides, now they were coming from one and meeting a force highly trained and highly outnumbering them. As long as they kept the beach head open they were safe. They could recieve reinforcements easily. They were ready to call in some.

'Right men...listen up. We are going to be jumping over water, i don't need to tell you how dangerous this is, but as Special Forces you should be able to deal with the water, if your heading towards the water cut your chute and do a HALO style dive, and get to shore, the beachhead is our LZ, the marines have marked the DZ. As soon as we're down, we're gonna get briefed by a Captain from the AAC 'Panthers''.
The Major stood back and let the jumpmaster take over, they hooked up and got ready to jump.
The men parachuting were Hirgizstan's entire 1st Ranger Battalion, they arrrived in 5 Hercules and would be jumping onto the area around the beachead.

The airfield had been completed at about 2pm today and the first load to come in was 2 Abrams tanks followed by 3 Bradley IFV's. The cargo planes would be making runs throughout the week to bring in a full Marine Armour company. The last flight was scheduled for the 27th.

The Rangers were all on the ground within an hour of the first jumper. They were going to be a great asset in the fight against Tnemrot, especially considering Layartebian Forces had just been forced out of Freedom City. The 3 Missouri Battleships have asked to support Layartebian forces if the need arises, their frequency is 476.098.

In the bare Middle Sector of Tnemrot, North Germanian ground forces were preparing their major offensive against the army of Tnemrot. General First Class Hecke was commanding the force from his Leopard 2A6 EX main battle Tank...


General Hecke: As you all know, we have been assigned the Middle Sector. The land is primarily hilly, with some plains. The enemy has been caught completely off guard by Operation: Sickle. The time for a strong blow is now.

We will begin an assault directly into the heart of Mittersektor Hedwig. A full artillery barrage will initiate the assault, followed by bombing runs. Immediately after the bombers have completed their assignment, a tank blitzkrieg will commence.

The new tactic, Berzerker should confuse and enstrangle the opposing forces. The tank assault will be divided into three sections. Each section will move forward with maximum speed, and form a zig-zag battle path. Every section's zig-zag path will cross one another. The enemy should be totally unaware of the numbers it faces. Intimidation will play a large role in this strike.

Everyone to your tanks, now!

The tank commanders rushed to their tanks and cranked the engines. As soon as the tanks rolled forward into position, the artillery guns began to lob off a hail of shells against the enemy positions. The booming sounds of MiL-1's, B-52's, B-1's, B-2's, and F-14's filled the air. The assault had commenced.

Excuse my absence. I am working on a web project but I'll be around to get this going either later today or tomorrow.

Sorry again.

-- duh--

[OOC: Layarteb, those PzH 2000's kick arsch, ja? I'll sell you production rights real cheap if you want them.]

The morning sun rose and with it a barrage and a half of gunfire. M109s and PzHs on the Layarteb sector of Freedom City opened up on enemy positions on the southern end of the city. It was a massive barrage. Most of the civilians had gone down into shelters over the night or had escaped. Radio broadcasts and other broadcasts had urged civilians to get out and they had played throughout the entire night.

Now it was day. There was no more holding back. Tnemrot forces had no fix on Layarteb positions but Layarteb had a fix on the Tnemrot positions. Artillery rained down for a full hour and a half, over a hundred shells impacting the ground left and right, completely decimating the positions. The M1s and M2s on the ground were playing support for the artillery, just in case. Six squads of ten men each were spread out throughout the city in forward positions, spotting the artillery. An additionally 700 soldiers had landed throughout the night with the second regiment of the 1st Special Forces Cavalry Division. There were now 1,500 Layarteb soldiers on the ground, 800 of them Special Forces Force Recon soldiers and the rest, Marines.

The twenty artillery cannons (10 PzH 2000, 10 M109A6) were firing their 155-mm shells from eighteen miles away, near maximum range. They were basically firing a round a minute from each gun, keeping a constant barrage of fire on the enemy. From the twenty guns that mean twenty rounds per minute and then for ninety minutes. A total of 2,000 rounds had fallen on enemy positions after two hours, when the artillery stopped and the forward positions reported that all targets had been decimated.

Air support would have been helpful but it was still too HOT with the MANPADs lying around. Layarteb forces moved up, the Marines and Special Forces moving up to the center of the city, where they could launch a full on assault of enemy positions. The artillery spotting squads took up defensive sniper positions and provided full cover for the push.

They were estimating roughly 50 vehicles, armor, and artillery left with about 3,000 soldiers. It was most certainly still more than they had. The plan was simple, travel the outskirts and then come in from behind. That was the goal, whether it would work or not was unknown. Twenty M1s were on a push outside the city limits with forty M2A3s, packed with soldiers. They were split evenly, on each side. These were the Special Forces Cavalry Divisions.

Pushing from the north would be an assault force of two more cavalry divisions, each having ten M1A2s, twenty M2A3s, twenty Humvees, and ten M109A6s. They were just leaving the beach as the other units began to take their sideline rushes. They were a full ten miles out of the way but it was necessary to escape the enemy. All artillery guns would remain the safe zone, within arms reach of the beach head. Along with the blockaide fleet was an Iowa-class and a Layarteb-class battleship, both with heavy 16" guns that were available. They were well within range of the city. They had a maximum range of twenty-two miles and they were only twenty-one out. They also had extended range projectiles giving them an even longer range. They had shore bombardment and armor piercing shells. They would be firing the bombardment ones for this mission, if they were called.

They were needed. Not more than twenty minutes after the 3rd and 4th regiments arrived in front of the Tnemrot forces. An artillery position was spotted on top of the main mountain to the west of the city. Tnemrot artillery had suddenly appeared and were setting up, setting up with their 2S19 152-mm howitzers and their T-80Us. The armor wasn't in the city! Layarteb forces were going after absoultely nothing except their imagination.

The coordinates were immediately relayed to the battleships and a broadside shot came from each ship instantly, eighteen 16" shells heading for the artillery position at high speed and a steep down angle. The 9 1,900 lb. shells came crashing down. Only the faint echoes of the guns was on the horizon and Tnemrot forces had been too occupied to notice.

The battleships fired ten salvos each, one hundred and eighty shells total. They decimated the Tnemrot artillery position.

When Layarteb cavalry swept through the city they engaged in a fierce firefight, killing 759 Tnemrot soldiers and taking an additional 299 prisoner. The entire expected resistance in Freedom City was gone, supposedly. They'd have to see what tomorrow brought.

They are pretty nice. I have to say that. Mean looking suckers and precise!

Throughout the night artillery rained down on the Hirgizstanian bases and FOB's. The newly arrived Rangers had a rough night in the hills overlooking a small town. During the night they observed armour rolling into the Town, they dertermined it had come from Anaka and they marked the types down. It was mostly eastern-bloc weaponry, T80's, Shilka's, older russian tanks and ZSU artillery and tracked artillery. They seemed to stop within the confines of the town. The Rangers believed it was a staging post and decided to call some arty in.

The massive guns on the 3 Missouri class battleships erupted once more.
The Rangers watched the fireworks eagerly. The town seemed to dissapear in smoke and flame, and some armour could be seen quickyl making its way back where it had come from.

All throughout the night and today the Hirgizstanian Air Force had been bringing in armour and equipment, there were now 30 Abrams tanks in total, the M109A4's had been moved to firing positions and were raining it down on Anaka. The guns of the Hirgizstan had been detailed for Fire 10 rounds every other hour every day at Anaka. There would be constant U2 flights to determine the damage and the enemy force.

The North Germanian blitzkrieg had operated with complete success. Capturing over 300 Tnemrot soldiers and a top general, the blitz had taken Tnemrot forces off guard once again. Surely, the forces of Tnemrot were completely overwhelmed by the presence of the October Alliance's combined forces.

A complete carbet bombing campaign against the Middle Sector had begun after the blitz. Over 100 B-52 bombers unloaded their payloads in under an hour. Over 50,000 tons of bombs had been dropped on Tnemrot forces.

Feldmarshal First Class Rudolf Küll: To Layarteb high command: Our ground campaign is 30% complete and we are operating non-stop. Our losses have been heavy, but we believe the enemy's have been much higher. We will contact you with further information.

There was elation last night at the Hirgizstanian Command Post in Layarteb as news of the capture of a top Tnemrot General and his aides filtered in on the radio waves. The news was that the 'Panthers' had found a command post up in the hills, camouflaged into the ground, unable to be seen by spy planes. They monitored the site for a day and a half and as the sun was going down yesterday an entourage arrived with about 10 heavily armed soldiers. The entourage looked official, clean pressed suits, shoes, not combat boots etc. The 'Panthers' launched a pre-planned attack killing 8 of the guard soldiers and all of the communication soldiers at the post. They were able to capture 1 Guard soldier, as the other apparently took some sort of heart attack due to his wounds. The entourage entailed a High General, and two Colonels, there was also an Air Force liasion. All of the comm equipment wa airlifted intact and the entourage and equipment is being sent back to be interrogated and researched by the Layartebian Armed forces, it is hoped that there will be information of a useful nature gained from this great capture.

Throughout today the city of Anaka was bombarded by the battleships and it was hit by Dumb munitions and JDAM's by EB-52's.
Early reports indicate that the city will be rubble by the 27th and that fighting will be hard in the rubble, but the fact is the main enemy concentrations were out in the open and have since been targeted.

**TOP SECRET**

Freedom City under full Layarteb control. POWs number 467. They are all being held at a top secret facility in the Layarteb north sector. A major assault by F/A-18s, B-52s, F-117s, F-19s, F-16s, F-15Es, and F/A-22s have sunk a major reinforcement force heading to Freedom Island.

13 Ticonderoga, 10 Kirov, 2 Kuznetsov, 6 Nimitz, and 18 AEGIS are among the losses for Tnemrot. Landing craft number between 40 and 100, at least. We fought them for twelve hours, losing no aircraft, luckily.

Aircraft lost for Tnemrot are as follows: 24 Su-33, 24 Yak-41M, 24 EA-6B, 52 F-14D, 180 F/A-18E/F, 24 E-2C, and 48 Ka-29.

**END TRANSMISSION**

Layarteb Air Force Command determined there were still 12 leadership, 68 space, and 200 other targets left in Tnemrot to knock out. That was their attacking order. There were still 95 air defense sites, 54 airfields, 228 command, 80 communications, 200 storage, and 125 weapons facilities remaining between North Germania and Hirgizstan.

Navy EA-6Bs took off with their HARM missiles and ALQ-99 pods on a mission to escort F-14Ds providing CAP and F/A-18Es tasked with destroying a pair of leadership targets. They expected heavy air resistance and F/A-22s were inbound with a flight of F-15Cs.

Air Force F-111s and F-15Es had taken off as well, tasked with knocking out eight space targets, these being satellite control facilities, rather small by nature. It was expected that four GBU-35s could devestate each target. The F-111Fs carried four GBU-24s each and the F-15Es carried eight GBU-35s each. The flight had a total of forty GBU-24s and eighty GBU-35s. That was plenty to destroy the targets.

The twenty bombers came in high, at thirty thousand feet, sixty miles behind the F/A-22s and thirty miles behind the F-15Cs. All flights were doing five hundred miles per hour and the incomming EA-6s, F-14s, and F/A-18s were coming in at four hundred miles per hour with a fifteen mile separation.

Tnemrot clued in immediately and scrambled forty F-15Cs and forty F/A-22s. The F-15Cs, F/A-22s, and F-14Ds increased their speed and began their assault, a total of fifty aircraft heading against eighty. The F-14s were armed with four Sparrows, two Phoenix missiles, and two Sidewinders. They used their Phoenix missiles against the F-15Cs. The F-15Cs and F/A-22s were armed with AMRAAMs and Sidewinders. The F/A-22s went after the F/A-22s and the F-15Cs went after the F-15Cs.

It was a quick air battle and at the end of it, all eighty Tnemrot aircraft were down and ten of the twenty F/A-22s for Layarteb were down as well as 15 of the F-15Cs.

It was a phyric victory for the Layarteb fighters but it was worth it. The F-111s and F-15Es pounded the hell out of their targets. The EA-6s knocked out a pair of radars and successfully jammed all air defenses from attacking the strike package. The F/A-18Es destroyed their targets with precision as well, dropping 2,000-lb. JDAMs into their target.

As the Air Force and Navy planes were returning to their bases, B-52Hs armed with AGM-86Ds and newly modified B-1Bs took off with AGM-129Cs armed with the same warhead as a GBU-35. The eight B-52Hs had twenty AGM-86s and the five B-1Bs had twenty-four each. The newly modified AGM-129Cs were conventional versions of the nuclear AGM-129A. They had not been used before. The B-1Bs were newly modified to carry a full cruise missile loadout, just as they were originally meant to carry.

The B-1Bs all took separate waypoints towards five separate targets, all weapons storage facilities. They ingressed at low level. The B-52s came in high towards eight targets, all command sites. Their missions were escorted by EF-111As and F-15Cs.

The aircraft sustained no damage or losses and had a full 100% success rate on their targets.

It was a full success of missions for all flights. Tnemrot would eventually be coming to the talking table, especially with sustained bombing raids on the high-value targets of Tnemrot.

Last night Hirgizstan launched its 1st in a series of continued bombing raids against Tnemrots runways. There were many to hit. The GR4's lifted off at 0315 last night. 2 GR4's could knock a single runway out of action for months or even years. Considering there were 30 in the Squadron the attacks would be many. Each 2 GR4's were accompanied by 2 F4's and a single high flying ECM 'Prowler'. Each strike would be made low and fast.

AAR: There were 15 runway targets in total last night. The combined BDA sorties were completed two hours ago. The reports suggested that all runways had been hit bu only 10 of the 15 had been seriously taken out of action. The other runways were re-enforced concrete and would require a larger store of munitions or a 10,000 pound iron bomb. 5 of the 15 runways were basically emtpy with only limited amounts of older or non-combat planes there. This highlighted the extent to which Tnemrots air-capability was diminishing. 10 runways were taken out of action and a number of planes were destroyed in the process. There was one friendly loss; an F4 took a direct hit from a SAM, the plane was completely destroyed and there was no survivor.

Hirgizstanian forces are holding at their marks for the next 24-48 hours, depending upon the situation, this is for a christmas truce. Limited operations will continue but mostly all offensive combat manouveres have been put on hold until the 26th.

Tnemrot had acknowledged the truce between Hirgizstan and them but there would be none with Layarteb.

**FROM TNEMROT**
**TO ATTACKING NATIONS**

We acknowledge the truce with Hirgizstan until Dec 26. There will be none with Layarteb. They are an evil nation and we will fight them in the air, on the ground, and on the sea!

**END TRANSMISSION**

Layarteb urges that Hirgizstan uphold their truce. We shall attack our targets over the next two days using our stealth aircraft and high powered jamming flights!

Tnemrot aircraft broke radar at four hundred miles. There was a giant wave of aircraft coming in. There were over 1,200 contacts coming in. Air defense batteries were alerted immediately and the phenominal Patriot defenses swung into actions. F/A-22s, F-15Cs, Eurofighters, F-16Cs, and F-24s were all scrambled. There was a force of nearly six hundred aircraft headed at the incomming force.

There were 1,500 HUMRAAM sites, 500 I-HAWK sites, and 1,000 PAC-2/3 sites. 1,000 Avenger sites were also protecting the various sites. It was a major air defense net with high powered radars.

The PAC-2s had the longest range, being able to engage at 90 miles. The PAC-3s had a much shorter but there were twice as many of them and they were a far bettern missile.

The enemy aircraft were identified at 300 miles out. There were 55 B-1Bs, 98 B-52Hs, 90 C-17As, 760 F-15Cs, and 300 Tu-160s. The B-52s and Tu-160s were the biggest threat. They were armed with cruise missiles, possibly. The F-22s and F-24s were at the front of the attack group, flying at Mach 1.8 and 40,000 feet. They were invisible still to the enemy. They launched their volley of missiles when they were in range, targeting the bombers. The 90 F/A-22s and 10 F-24s launched a total of 620 AMRAAMs at the B-1s, Tu-160s, and B-52s. 453 hit, the exact amount they needed to take down the bombers, which they did but at a price. 6 F-22s were lost when the F-15s shot at them. Now they had a total of 208 AIM-9Xs to use. The F-15Cs were too far behind them so the F/A-22s and the F-24s turned around to close the gap between them and the other fighters, traveling at Mach 1.5 at 40,000 feet.

It didn't take long and now there was plenty of missiles for plenty of aircraft. However, there was a dirty little secret.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While Layarteb fighters were engaging the incoming aircraft, other fighters guarding the borders saw contacts go in and out of their radar. There were stealth bombers! The only aircraft capable of shooting them down were the F-24s, preparing for an attack mission. The call was sent and their air to ground ordinance was unloaded, the pilots rushed to the aircraft. The ten of them took off immediately and they climbed to 50,000 feet where the force of 70 B-2s were. They used their missiles first, taking down 32 of the bombers. Now they were empty except for their gun.

Normal fighters couldn't target the B-2s and so the job was left up to the F-19s and their data-link system, which had never been used before. It was meant to guide the Patriots into enemy stealth aircraft. It was untested. Each F-19 targeted a B-2 with their FLIR systems and moved the data over to their radars. The PAC-2s were launched and they guided the monsterous missiles into the bombers. They kept doing this, taking down all the bombers before they could reach their targets.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The F-15s, Eurofighters, F/A-22s, and F-24s engaged the enemy fighters, all 760 of them and the 90 C-17s in the biggest air battle of the war. There were missiles flying everywhere, aircraft going down left and right.

In the end all Tnemrot aircraft were down and Layarteb had lost all 50 Eurofighters, 40 F-16Cs, and 69 F-15Cs.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tnemrot bombers also snuck in at low-level but these weren't stealth aircraft. There were 50 Su-24Ms and 84 Su-34s. The aircraft patrolling the borders attacked immediately, along with the SAMs. This air battle was a lot more lopsided with all Tnemrot aircraft going down and only 6 F-16Cs due to friendly fire.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The remaining aircraft landed safely and that was the end of the largest air battle of the war.

It was Christmas in Layarteb, two hours past midnight. Snow was falling everywhere, blanketing Freedom Island with between 9" and 13" by dawn. It would make fighting there next to impossible with temperatures below 15 degrees fahrenheit and winds gusting to 22 mph, giving a windchill of -3 degrees fahrenheit.

Over Tnemrot, the snow was doing the same but would only dump 4" - 6" by dawn and winds were only gust to 10 mph. The temperature was 33 degree fahrenheit giving a wind chill of 25 degrees fahrenheit.

The orders had come in only minutes earlier. A reconnaissance team on the ground in Tnemrot, members of the 2nd Special Forces Unit, "SEALS," had been deployed when the war began. They reconned an airfield near the capital city and spotted 25 AWACS, 30 Mercury, and 70 J/STARs aircraft on the ground in hangars and on the tarmac. This airbase had thought to be empty.

Immediately, F-19s and F-24s, flying to attack a space facility, were diverted to the airbase. They were loaded with GBU-35s, GBU-38s, and GBU-39 Small Diameter Bombers. They attacked the airbase from 60,000 feet doing M1.2. The explosions were so big and so devestating that the reconnaissance squad felt the heat a good klik away!

The strike was a full success, the airbase destroyed and the aircraft all destroyed. They returned to base, their attack on the airbase more successful than the one on the space facility could have been.

More strikes were en route as the F-24s and F-19s crossed into friendly airspace. A flight of F-15Es and F-111Fs escorted by F/A-22s and EF-111As were tasked with taking out a leadership target near the capital and one inside the capital. Air defenses would be phenominal but the EF-111As prevented anyone from getting a real fix on the enemy.

The F/A-22s shot down 7 MiG-31Ms, 20 Su-35s, and 16 F/A-22s, losing no aircraft.

Another strike package, this one B-2s struck a pair of space facilities and B-52s took out a pair of powerplants. F-117s and B-1Bs destroyed a pair of coastal defense sites and EA-6Bs knocked out two radars.

Naval F/A-18s knocked out six air defense sites and four leadership targets. There were only four more leadership targets and the locations of those were unknown. F-14Ds shot down 40 Tu-160s and 30 Su-34s. The bombers were heading to Layarteb and the fighter-bombers were heading to the carrier.

The Layarteb fleet sunk two Akula's and five Seawolves that were coming out of port. They also shot down six U-2 reconnaissance planes heading for Freedom Island.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------On Freedom Island, Layarteb soldiers captured two majors in the Tnemrot 504th Paratrooper Division and killed thirty soldiers on a reconaissance mission.

Artillery was called in to assist a Force Recon squad pinned down by enemy tank fire on the moutain side. The artillery barrage destroyed two T-80Us and a pair of BMP-4s. The soldiers captured six soldiers and killed another two dozen. The squad of eight had the enemy soldiers who surrendered thinking they were zeroed in by artillery and they gave up.

Things were looking up!

The orders were transmitted to the battlefleet within minutes of their arrival at central command. The President of Tnemrot was located, at one of the four leadership targets that were currently unknown. One was now known. A 688/I with 12 Tomahawk missiles all armed with hard-target penetration warheads. They were given the GPS coordinates immediately and four sorties were planned.

Naval F/A-18Es were being fueled, readied, and their crews briefed. EA-6Bs, F/A-18Cs, and F-14Ds were already doing their missiles. EA-6s would be providing electronic jamming throughout the entire mission. F/A-18Cs would be providing CAP and SEAD. F-14Ds would be providing CAP. The F/A-18Es were being armed with GBU-35s, GBU-34s, JASSM, and some AGM-84Hs. There were eight flights total, two with GBU-35s, two with GBU-34s, two with JASSMs, and two with AGM-84Hs, four each per plane. They also carried four AIM-120s and two AIM-9Xs as well as a centerline 480-gallon fuel tank. They were launched after the Tomahawks broke surface from the 688 and began their attack.

The F/A-18Es dropped down to one hundred feet AGL with a speed of six hundred knots. The jamming provided by the EA-6s was excellent. Air defense radars and air defense sites were forced to go to visual sighting on their weapons and in the night it wasn't very good. A thick cloud layer at 15,000 feet kept the moon and stars completely obscured. They roared over the beach, across the highways and farms, across the suburbs and cities, and towards a mountain bunker that was near to one of the sabotaged ICBM sites. The JASSMs and SLAM-ERs were launched first, from sixty-miles out. The fighters slowed down to five hundred knots and the missiles gained on them at sixty-four knots. It wasn't very much but it allowed them to save gas and to fine program their JDAMs.

The F-14Ds were engaged in a small air battle with sixteen MiG-29s. The F/A-18Cs had already defeated a number of air defense sites in the way of the missiles and strike planes, nine in total. Then the F/A-18Cs engaged the fighters as more took off, an additional ten MiG-21s took off. Layarteb F-14s were damaged but none destroyed and F/A-18Cs went home unscathed when the battle was over.

The SLAM-ER and JASSM missiles found their targets. One JASSM missile but one hit, penetrating deeply into the earth. The two SLAM-ERs hit next, in the exact same spot, penetrating even deeper. The GPS coordinates of the impact were relayed to the incomming F/A-18Es by the SEAL team on the ground.

The JDAM coordinates were changed and the bombs were dropped on target, penetrating even further.

Whether or not the President was hurt would be determined within the next 12 hours.

"Gentlemen I have good news," the Emperor began as the high commanders of North Germania and Hirgizstan sat back in their chairs. "Our strike against the leadership bunker was a success. While the Tnemrot President is still alive he is badly shaken and unharmed, for the most part. He just called me and wished to convey a possible cease-fire. His terms are the following:

1. All hostilities against Tnemrot cease.
2. All soldiers on Freedom Island be allowed to leave safely.
3. All POWs be released (and vice versa).
4. They be allowed free trade with Freedom Island and unimpeded travel.

I agreed to the first three and it is currently pending your agreements as we all have to agree. The fourth I am rather wary about and request your opinions. I have requested these terms:

1. All hostilities cease against Layarteb, Hirgizstan, North Germania, and Freedom Island.
2. All POWs be released.
3. All soldiers leave Freedom Island.
4. Tnemrot withdraw ALL claims of Freedom Island.

Gentlemen if you have terms to add I'd like to here them! Also a gesture of good faith I have reduced force REDCON to 3."

'Well, talk about in the nick of time!', the CIC of the 1st Brigade HMC sat in his directors chair at the comms bunker on the beach head. 'We were going to begun arc-light against Anaka about 10 minutes before news of the presidents message had gotten through, nick of bloody time.'
Immediately pending the message from Layarteb all operations geared up for today ceased, all were put on the backburners, and for the first time in nearly a week the 3 Missouri's were silent. Out on the front lines the Rangers faced the Paratroopers, as soon as word of an effectual ceasefire settled in the paratroopers could be heard singing christmas songs, some of the Paratroopers actually walked the lines to say 'Merry Christmas to the Rangers, some brave Paratroopers.

The Hirgizstanian commanders have agreed to all proposals laid down but they offer some words of advice on P4, and that is to work the travel like that between Spain and Gibraltar, with a checkpoint, in other words travel is restricted by passports. This should enable security and ease of passage.

Duely noted and a good idea at that!

Reichchancellor Wilhelm Einheit, III spoke to the leaders of Hirgizstan and Layarteb.

Reichchancellor Einheit: While it is grand news that Tnemrot wishes for peace, a question still remains in my mind: what is to guarantee they do not re-arm themselves and take to hostile activities again? While I celebrate the ends of our combined efforts, there still remains a dark cloud in my mind. Tnemrot may not be so open about their plans the next time. They may suddenly strike without warning. Hirgizstan or North Germania might be targets the next time.

My suggestion is that we force Tnemrot to sign a disarmament agreement, which would stay in effect for ten years. After the pact expires, they could re-arm themselves, but should not be allowed access to any weapons of mass destruction. Those already owned by Tnemrot would of course be destroyed when the agreement is signed. Every two months their weapons facilities could be inspected by Layarteb, Hirgizstan, and North Germania.

The only problem therein lies in the fact that Tnemrot would have no means of defense if an aggressor nation decided to invade. Thus, I also suggest that the respective nations of Hirgizstan, Layarteb, and North Germania establish military bases within the borders of Tnemrot. These could also serve as a means of defense if Tnemrot were to forcibly re-arm themselves before the disarmament agreement expires.

I would like to hear the ideas of Hirgizstan and Layarteb before this meeting is over.

However, as of now, all North Germanian forces have stood down and most have been deployed back home. There were a grand total of 468 North Germanian attritions, and 182 injuries. A total of 108 vehicles, including MiL-1's, MiG-33's, tanks, APC's, and various other trucks and jets, were destroyed or rendered unusable.

"It's not a bad idea," the Emperor said, "but they are not going to agree to that whatsoever. Their ICBM facilities are already out of use for god knows how long, the explosions of the fuel cells have effecitvely comprimised the structural integrities of all the facilities. As far as bombs and CBW, that's a different story. What say you Hirgizstan?"

The emperor sat down as the room lights went on. "Well men I have some bad news. Tnemrot declares that if we impose any disarmement or sanctions against them they will resume fighting. They confirm their ICBM sites are indeed fully out of operation for an indefinite amount of time and though I denied the request to help them fix it I have sent a top secret team to inspect it themselves, under the guise of Red Cross attendees searching the sites for victims.

"Bases are a definite no-go! They refuse that flat out. They pledge that this is over and if they ever decide to make a claim against Freedom Island it will be at the request of the people of Freedom Island and be directed to Layarteb and not its allies."

I apologise for my absence over the past 24 hours, one of the nuclear power stations powering half of the large city, Krana, went off-line and i have been somewhat pre-occupied, not to worry though, it came back on line this morning, some sort of electrical fault.

I suggest that we do not impose those types of sanctions, they would indefinetly have adverse affects on Tnemrot, both politically and economically, remember the conseuences of the Treaty of Versailles?
What we should do is inform Tnemrot that if they do decide to offensively re-arm then serious economic sanctions will be placed upon them and thei ICBM facilities will be targeted for destruction by limited military operations if the need arises.
What we should consider is not bases inside Tnemrot, it may be lack Guntanamo Bay, a good idea but also not a good idea. What we should do is do what the British did in Gibraltar, and build military bases on Freedom Island, therefore keeping Tnemrot 'between a rock and a hard place'?

Well Freedom Island is home to a major airbase actually. So that is covered.

Einheit: While air power is without question a paramount section of a strong military, I'm afraid that the only nation that could control one of Tnemrot's stature solely with air power would be Zvarinograd.

While I do not wish to impose myself onto Layarteb's sovereign lands, perhaps the leader would allow tank facilities and a small army base be built by North Germania's Armed Korps? They would, rest assured, be located in the most rural and uninhabited regions possible.

Put simply, we do not approve of Tnemrot's aggression and do not approve of their current position on their military facilities. An action of concrete assurance that another strike by Tnemrot would not even be in question. Allow them their military, but there should be a pact made that severe consequences will be take effect if they do. Perhaps consequences such as my prior suggestions?

What's the status and dimensions on the forward base that Hirgizstan built?

Might need a quantity surveyor for that one.
Lets see, there's an airstrip large enough to land a C5 Galaxy and it could be extended to allow for a B52 to land and refuel. There are no solid buildings, just tents, wooden structures and bunkers. A makeshif tank and armour area takes up the vast majority, about 5000-10,000 metres, though not all of it has stuff on it, just open area. The troop area has many sections, including a comms area and an armoury, it takes up around 5000 metres. The base could be turned into a major army base if the Navy Seabees were allowed to begin and then a contractor was found, the only obstructions to expanding is that there is a a village of sorts close by, shouldn't be much of a problem though, we would pay for them to move and/or get double/triple glazing. The other obstruction is the beach, we could turn it into tarmac if we could reclaim the land, the base could expand for many more miles, possibly allowing for a North Germanian contingent or a Layartebian contingent, i'm sure if we all pulled resources the base could be turned into something the size of Ft. Bragg.

Well here is what I thought of. I will allow that makeshift base to be transformed into a small army base for North Germania providing that I can have a small naval refueling, rearming, resupply base on their coast. I will not use it to restock nuclear missiles in submarines or nuclear tomahawks but rather LEAP missiles, Standard's, ASROC's, Harpoon's, conventional Tomahawk's, gun ammunition, Phalanx, RAM, etc.

Ok, so you want two contingent area's, one for North Germania and the other for yourself?
If so i will need contractors from your nations to begina land reclaimation scheme, then the area will need to be developed to build an ATC tower, hangars, buildings, Docks and other such things. All in all with volunteer labour coming from each nation and Freedom Island the project could take as little as 1 year, but with just contractors it could take a lot longer, of course there is always an option of forced labour in the form of convicts but considering it is a military installation i would rather the people can be security vetted and approved for such work, especially the contractors.
What's the word from Tnemrot?

No I'm saying I'll give North Germania permission to have an army base on Freedom Island after conversion of the one you built but I get to have a small naval resupply base in NG territory.

Ah, right, i had a feeling thats what you meant but i just bombed into it anyway. :oops:

So whats actually happening, the troops are bored, the Generals are suffering from caffeine overdoses and the ships are starting to get barnacles, what are we to do?

Well Tnemrot is still on cease-fire and have agreed to the following:

They will cease hostilities in Freedom Island.
They will remove their claims of Freedom Island.
They will not agree to any disarmament.
They will not agree to any military bases in thier territories.
They will not seek out war against my allies for retribution.


Now just waiting to see if NG will allow me to have a naval supply port on his coast in exchange for him having a small army base on Freedom Island.

Ok, so do i get the go-ahead for the development of that base on Freedom Island, and if so will i be allocated workforces from NG and Layarteb?

Are you also looking for usage rights to the base?

Usage rights? I already occupy the base at the beach head, it was the first landing point for my forces, i was anting help to expand it to create a much bigger occupying force base big enough for an Armoured division, an air wing, an Infantry Regiment and a Naval Area/Docks. However if NG and yourself provide some funds and labour a sizeable chunk of development site will be allocated to your respective national forces.

All in all this ain't working out so Tnemrot has surrendered and the war is over a cease-fire actually but they are badly beat into the ground. Freedom Island is free, we won. Now as far as that base goes, we're just going to leave it abandoned for the time being and in case Tnemrot launches some other attack on us, which I doubt, we'll use it then.
