Following the attacks on another sovereign state, and on the UN, McLeodian forces have put a full blockade on the Armed Dictatorship of Terristan.

Terristani officals have claimed full responsibility for the deaths of 172+ UN officals, aid workers, and civilians. Yet they show no remorse, and publicly admit to supporting terrorism, and allow terrorist groups to operate freely from within their country.

Other nations who wish to end the reign of terror this country promotes include the Kingdom of Crookfur, the United Freedom Forces of Euroslavia, the Armed Republic of Clan McLewis, and the Democratic Republic of Clan McCrimmon.

Many nations have pledged support for the terrorists, including (secretly) the Dominion of Red Tide, the Armed Republic of Bigmenistan, and(publicly) the Armed Republic of Guerrillistan.

Please do NOT post unless you have something constructive to add to the RP. If you want to join in, t-gram me, and i'll check with Terristan that its ok.

*Terristani POV*

Following agreed attacks on the UN in the state of Guerrillistan by unknown Terristani nationals, our entire nation has been "blockaded".

Terristan has acknowledged that members of Terristan in the GLA were reponsible for the attacks.
We show no remorse and aware that terrorists operate from our large nation.

Terristan as a nation believes as a nation that it should not be held responsible for the actions of a few tearaways out of a nation of 600million.


Terristan has recieved support from other nations who believe that the blockade is unjust and illegal. McLeod has no right to physically stop neutral units from entering our nation. Any acts of violence will be retaliated in full.
May i state that no air of war exists between our nations.

We do not tolerate terriosts. Terristand we peacefully ask to surrender your terrirost or face a fleet of carriers in your waters

get real :shock:

dubble post

McLeod03 claims the right to prevent weapons being shipped to these terrorists and therefore search any ships entering Terristan.

Double Post

What was up with the forums last night? Took me about twenty minutes to post this.

you have no right to claim such authority.

We fully supports McLeods actions and may deploy some ships of its own to aid Mcleod

*Terristani POV*




Terristan has recieved support from other nations who believe that the blockade is unjust and illegal. .


i am one of those nations, cease your actions against this nation or i will interfire :!:


general secretary of the forcian union and the FCP vladimir andropov.

we will aid our ally mcleod and deploy these ships

BRN Avenger- AEGIS Cruiser
BRN Lawa - battleship
BRN Rescue- Aviation Cruiser
BRN Diablo- Destroyer
BRN Cougar- AEGIS Cruiser
BRN Republic- Carrier. It holds 30 aircraft. 28 F-16cs and 2 F117A

Bingla, what are your reasons for adding these ships?

bored,
wantsomething for your ships to do,

you have no idea really do you, you are just wasting your own time and making the situation worse than it is!

Geforce why would you support a terrisot nation? I aided ships to McLeado as I dont want a reign of terrisom in your country that u promote

as terristan said, he as a nation belives that it should not be held responsible for the actions of a few tearaways out of a nation of 600million.

Triple post!

GeForce, there is no need to interfere at the moment, the blockade is not actually doing much at all, Terristan is totally self sufficient. We do not recieve much trade from incoming ships. Our fisheries are still fine and small vessels can easily get through if needed. Most of our incoming and outgoing actions come in by air, they cannot blockade the air.
Terristan offers you an embassy builinding in the port of Ut Yara for future diplomatic meetings.
thankyou for support.

He is responisble for his people's actions. We ask to surrender the terrisot and we may call back our fleet.

alright, the nation of geforce4 is our from this conflict for now, an embassy will be built in terristan.

He is responisble for his people's actions. We ask to surrender the terrisot and we may call back our fleet.

please stay out of this

Why not just diplomatically end this blockade. If Terristan agrees to try and crack down on its terrorist problems with some help from other nations then we could end this blockade without any loss of life on either side :D

Happy creating!

we believe our people can choose there own destinies, if they want to join the GLA then we don't object.

Terristan does not dictate to other nations how they are run, this is what McLeod is doing.


*GeForce embassy has been built in Ut Yara*

GLA is a Terrist cell that wants to kill people. That is what you dont get Terristan. If you make me put it BWSA(Binglan World Secruity Agency) we will crack down on these terrorists.

I wholeheartedely agree with you Terristan and can see what you are saying. I also do not agree with Macloed's blockade,Diplomacy works much better in my nations opinion and it could prevent lives being lost on both sides.

happy creating :D

GLA is not a terrorist cell, it is the Global Liberation Army.
A multinational force that aids the weak and the oppressed.

No it is not. My peacekeepers were in middle-east in a town. a GLA platoon took over the town and burnt all their houses and excuting people. You call that helping the poor?

Not all GLA are the same, there are millions of members. Those you mentioned were probably imposters.
We didn't say we aided the poor.

Your peacekeepers were probably brainwashing the people anyway.

We were not brainwashing. We were aiding them after a warlord raided their village. GLA is a dangerous force.

You may not have heard of us before, but we have been watching with interest the negotiations of the past few days.
What we ask is that the international blockade on Terristan be lifted so that all shipping be allowed to pass through. We have no opposition to these ships being searched but feel that it is wrong to punish a nation for the actions of a terrorist cell and the stubbournness of their leader.
Terristan, we offer you a team of crak Special Forces to train and advise you Military on Anti-Terrorist measures.
Should you continue to turn a blind eye towards the activities of terrorists and harbour offenders within your borders then we will have no choice but to offer military support to the nations currently enforcing the blockade. SD forces are currently on stand-by to enter a nearby country on peacekeeping duites, it would take nothing to divert them towards your country.


Please, we ask all parties involved to consider what we have said.
Eliza Small, SD MoD

We ask for my BWSA go to Terristan and root out these GLA. If you still contuine to support terriosm. I have no choice but to bring the region of Armegaddon in the blockaid.

we have no need for anti terrorist training, we are adept at that already.

also as stated before we are not turning a blind eye to terrorists. We acknowledge they are there and let them get on with their lives and own business. Of course you can add to the blockade if you feel you need to but it will have no affect on how our Glorious leader feels to accepting persecuted refugees and offenders. You have no right how to tell our leadership to act.

We ask for my BWSA go to Terristan and root out these GLA. If you still contuine to support terriosm. I have no choice but to bring the region of Armegaddon in the blockaid.

as stated, the blockade is having minimal affect. We publicly do not support terrorism.

This blockade doe snot affect trading or fishing vessels. Any ship found to be carrying arms will be turned back. The Terristani government has claimed full responsibility for terrorist attacks. Not simply "letting them get on with their lives", actually taking responsibility for the actions of the terrorists.

Terristan - i have stated i am there to remove the terrorists, and thsoe who support them, not change the way your country is run. Crack down on terror, and we will leave.

You may not publicly support terrorism, but you claim full responsibility for it. How is that possible?

The Terristan nation accepts responsibility because the members involved from the GLA were Terristani.

Our Government publicly does not support terrorism.

You will be there for a long time as you will never find the "terrorists" as you call them.

Geforce - what is your motive for helping Terristan?

*Terristani POV*




Terristan has recieved support from other nations who believe that the blockade is unjust and illegal. .

general secretary of the forcian union and the FCP vladimir andropov.

he like many believe the blockade as unjust and illegal

I'm sorry, i didn't realise that when i typed GeForce4, you read Terristan please answer for him.

Red Tide POV
While the citizens of Red Tide are brainwashed into seeing these "terrorists" as poor, oppressed Freedom Fighter fighting for their right to live away from oppression... the leadership on the other hand views terrorists and terrorist nations as asource of income(A arms for money thing... ya know?)

A Red Tide freighter was recently not let in because McLeaod had a "suspicion" that the freighter was carrying bio-chemical weapons when all it was carrying were Toyotas(OOC:The truth actually is that it was carrying both... there were barrels of Anthrax GAMMA inside the trunks of the cars). Red Tide also provided evidence that McLeod sank a humaniterian aid convoy.

<NEWSFLASH>

*Recent Intelligence Report released to International Community*

Intelligence gathered today has further condemned the nation of Terristan, and strengthened the case for it being a nation of terrorists:

Everyone here is the top of the line terrorist Nations...Currently we are small but we will grow and then conquer - The latest member is Terristan.

i am brother nation of Terristan, he told me to come here. We are very experienced in terrorism and have masterminded many campaigns. long live A Corp!! - Self explanatory really

First, a newly started Naton begions in A Corp(lead by Sarador) learning the basics of terrorism and battle tactics. When the Nation reaches 300 million and has learn about our ways they are sent to Corsec(your region). When the Nations have learned more complex tactics and sratagy and have reached at least a 600 million person population they are sent to their final destination.... Repticon - Terristan recently moved form A Corp to Repticon

Terristan has recently joined the upper echelon of A Corp. A Corp are a known terrorist organisation, and information drawn from their own factbook further condemns them:

This is a terrorist region. Now ,the main goal to this nation is to destroy all UN members but we will be attacking many that oppose us. I know now it is small, but in time we will have eneuogh power to overrun the UN. we are aware that there are many UN members out there and have stratigically targeted the primary delegates. If we can destroy the major UN members the smaller nations will most likely loose interest of the UN if you no what I mean.

The armed Republic ov Svarvard stands behind terristan. leaders are Not responsible for their ppl's actions. Back down Now before you make this conflict ne worse then it needs be. I wouldnt doubt it if you have terrorist in your countries but dont wanna admit it. Backdown or face a region that is all willing to stand and fight for Terristan and its ppl.

that solely means a few Terristani advisors have decided to help A Corp.
you can't read that much into what region i am in.
Publicly we do not support terrorists.

the proof is right there. Hand over your terriost or face the consquence

ooc:sorry that was me as zarny thats my other nation.

Well i'll join the POV party ;)

Crookfur POV:

Terristan has on a number of occasions used state sponsored terrorism to interfer in situations where they had no right to do so.

The Kingdom of Crookfur beleives that all terroist acts are criminal acts and treat them as such but we have one clause in this: state sponsored terrorism, in this case unless the perpetrators are wearing uniforms (which would get them POW status) they are considered to be intelligence operatives and are treated as such (ie the gloves are off).

In this case terristan openly admitted that that the criminals involved in the attacks on legally mandated aid adminsitration centers were acting at least implicitly if not tactily on behalf of the terristani regeime.

In addition Mcleod3 is one of our associates from the whole FPC/Attica mess (ie associates becuase they can actually stand the atticans while Crookfurians can't, its a long story).

The CFBC world service (like the BBC but even more upstandingly honest and unbiased) has shown to the world proof of disinformation being broadcast and footage of combat swimmers departing an apparent arms convoy in an attempt to destroy Mcleod3 patrol vessels. It has also shown eveidence making it clear that no Mcleodian muntions were anywhere near the destroyed convoy and how analysis of imagery shows that the vessels were destroyed by massive internal detonations.

Ok onto recent events.

While the constant diplomatic chatter of claims, counter claims, lies and general rubbish flys around the Crookfur 4th Task group arrives without much fanfare
it consists of:

Lady Geraldine: Lady Victoria class battleship
Achilles: Ulyanovsk class carrier
Jason: Nimitz class carrier
Scourge: Death train class
Demon: death train class
McKay: Valkyrie class cruiser
Stewart: Valkyrie class cruiser
McGregor: Valkyrie class cruiser
Basra: Ticonderoga class cruiser
Dundee: Gertrude class Destroyer
Oban: Gertrude class Destroyer
Inverness: Gertrude class Destroyer
4x Bernadine class frigates
2x Astute subs
2x silent knife submarines
2x Gato subs
various support vessels with thier own escort of maria 2s

In addition 2 float on float off transports bring in a total of 6 Cataphract torpedeo boats and 8 lancer 2 class missile boats to support the patrol group which now consists of:

CNS Fury: Invincible CF class carrier
2 x Bernadine class frigates
4x Maria class missile vessels
8x Eva class patrol vessels
6x Cataphract class patrol torpedo boats
8x Lancer 2 missile boats.

With the two large naval task forces deployed, and submarine support patrolling the entire length of the blockade, active sonar buoys are deployed in a larger ring outside of the blockade line, in order to pick up enemy submarine movements.

Maritime patrol aircraft from both carriers, supported by helicopters from the Aviation Cruisers, identify and mark all active targets inbound on the blockade. Any thought to be running weapons into Terristan are hunted down by the hydrofoils or by armed helicopters.

In response to a possible stealth bomber attack, anti-stealth radar systems recently developed by the MRI are periodically turned on to sweep the skies.

Having witnessed the speed of the enemy Mk5 speedboats, MAFCC has moved the Falton fleet support ship into position in the blockade, allowing the use of heavily armed hovercraft for interdiction purposes.


"Sir, we found this on the ship below sir. Somewhere near the crew quarters sir." said the leader of the dive team from the carrier to Beattie, as he held up a somewhat burnt piece of paper. In the corner, barely visible, was the acronym GCON. Further down, more clearly visible, was the word Bigmenistan.

"Get me MAFCC now. Lets get this out to the world" said Beattie quickly


<Encrypted Message>
FROM: MAFCC
TO: Bigmenistan

We demand to know why it is that documents hailing from your country were found on board one of the freighters carrying weapons to support a terrorist nation. We also have reason to believe that the attacks on our ships were carried out by your own forces in order to allow you to smuggle goods into a nation of despicable cowards.

This is considered an act of war, and of aggression. The King has demanded reparations to the sum of $4 billion to be paid immediately, and a full public apology for this heinous act of mass murder.


<Public Broadcast>
FROM: MAFCC

Earlier today, Bigmenistani documents were found onboard one of the freighters sunk by terrorists. Earlier communication from MAFCC to Bigmenistan demands reasoning for this, and an explanation as to why they are providing terrorists with weapons.

Presidental address to Mcleod03-

"There has been a major mis-understaning here. Let me explain- Bigmenistan did have a presence onboard those 3 ships. But we assure you that we had no knowledge of the arms that were onboard, we have absolutely no idea how they got there.

We were led to believe that this ship was humanitarian, so we volunteered supplys (food, water, medicine, etc.) and workers to take part in the Red Cross humanitarian effort. That's why our documents were found onboard.

And if these ships did have war supplys on them, that were bound for Terristan, then why would terrorists blow them up? That makes no sense, we believe that it was your blockade that fired at, and sunk these ships while believing that they were humanitarian vessels.

We had no knowledge that arms were being smuggled onboard, and we recommend an investigation of the Red Cross.

*International waters, outside Terristan- 0300 hours (3AM), 50 miles from the blockade*

15 large unmarked vessels (American Cormorant class (http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ship/tak-2062.htm)) are seen, they are very close together.

Suddenly each ship releases 6 Mark V speed boats (90 in all). About 50 of these boats are unmanned, and are remote controlled (drones to draw fire off of the others), while the others all are carrying arms. The boats scatter (each about 6 miles apart) and head towards the blockade at max speed (50 knots).

All of the boats then turn on their radar jammers (to dodge Harpoon missiles), and the boats that are manned then turn on their own sonar. And they aim their torpedos.

Apparently these boats are not only blockade runners, but they're also armed with enough firepower to sink a battleship.

OOC: and exactly where are you going to fit torpedos on a mark V?
and you really don't need sonar to fire a trop at a big ship.
Anyway who would waste a harpoon on such a piddly little boat.

IC: as the small vessels hurtle in the 8 lancer 2s move into postion along side them, easily keeping pace as thier 35mm guns switch to EO targeting and the various weapons on secondary mountings pan around (a mix of 20mm guns, GAU-19s and some M5 ATGMS).

In the air a flight of K-47 Goth gunships manouvers into position

As a rather clear warning, the Lady Geraldine fires a single round from her 160mm secondary batteries. The round arcs high in the air and detonates in a massive flash.

Hey! Just cuz Terristan used guerilla's it occurred inside its own region and was welcomed by Guerillastan.

The term "terrorist," can also be applied to black op forces. The government of the Republic of SilveryMinnow protests the actions of McLeodII and its U.N. puppets.

A formal written protest has already been submitted to the Region of Libertarian Paradise to intercede on behalf of Terristan.

Reminder, all unidentfied aircraft in Terristani airspace will be fired at, please refrain from entering.

thankyou minnow, i have stated that a few times, they seem to think that i blew up the twin towers!

Terristan - you publicly stated "TERRISTAN ADMITS FULL RESPONSIBILITY"

You openly and publicly admitted, in a message broadcast on international television, that you were responsible for terrorist atacks. You have been claimed, by an ally of your own, to be an expert in terrorist campaigns.


<Royal Palace, McLeodia>

King James IV is ashamed that this world openly accepts terrorists, and has no qualms with dealing with nations who support these animals.

"They kill men, women, and children without discrimination, and do not care of race, nationality, or sex.

When your own countries women and children die in a terrorist attack, when your government is rocked by an assassination, and these people are to blame, then what will you do? Think 'Oh i was wrong all along. Oh well, it's too late, A Corp rules the world, and no one gives a damn?' I for one will not stand by and watch these animals attempt to ruin civilisation.

We have fought our own war against terror, and won. The impetus must be brought forward. Terrorism must not be allowed to continue. WOrld leaders unite, the time has come. We will accept this reign of terror no more. Terrorists, and those who openly arm, shelter, feed, and welcome terrorists shall not be allowed to continue doing so.

The time is now. Join with me, and FIGHT."


<At the blockade>

The sound of cheering at the Kings speech fades away swiftly as the call to quarters is heard. "All hands to battle stations, all hands to battle stations" blared the tannoy system.

The Triumph and the Tribune turned their main guns towards the incoming attack craft, and opened fire with starburst shells, fired as a final warning.

Helicopters scrambled from the Aviation Cruisers, heavily armed with TOW missiles, and gun pods. Fighter-bombers screamed off the carriers, and turrets swang into position.

The term "terrorist," can also be applied to black op forces.

Hence the uniform/no uniform issue.


they seem to think that i blew up the twin towers!

oh come now, if we did do you think a relatively benign blockade would be all you would face?

May i remind you that all current offensive actions have been attacks on the Mcleodian forces.


Let me put your claim of how you just let your terrorists do what they want into perspective: do you have any legal system? These are criminals, if the crimes commited occured on your territory would you not be desperate to hunt them down? They have commited acts of crime agaisnt a nation you are apprently allied with. The only ways you can possibly justify not putting your foot down is that either you have no law and your entire nation robs and kills itself or that terrorist are directly supported by your regime and as such they come under the military feild (in which case you have well and truely engaged in cassius belli).

OOC: Uh hello......8 boats are supposed to stop my 90? BTW- the boats you're along side are the DRONEs that I dispatched!

IC: The operators that are controlling the drones via remote control laugh to themselves. Knowing that the crew quarters is covered, and that the patrol boats have no idea that they're drones.

They suddenly see the star shell go up in the air and the operators press a button on the remote control, which speeds the boat up to 55 knots.

While the blockade is focusing their attention on the drones, the real boats target their torpedos and fire at the nearby battleship. 4 torpedos are fired. With 6 more being fired at various other ships.

The drone speed boats then open fire with their auto-machine gun turrets at the patrol boats.

*Moses sat in his boat, 200 metres from the shore, he was fishing with his best friend. They sat in the dingy looking at the waves lap against, it was tranquil and the only noise came from the pelicans on the jetty*

A distant rumbling sound could be heard, coming from down the coast then WHOOSH, 5 SU-27 in diamond formation flew along the coast only 30 metres from the sea itself, the noise was deafening and both men covered thier ears.

"what the hell"

minutes later 5 more fighter aircraft whooshed past, heading up the coastline.

"seems like events are escalating"

How can the actions of McLeod, and that nations supporters differentiate between the actions of extremists inside a region, and the terrorism of an entire nation?

This is an internal affair, no outside intervention has been requested. Such an act in the name of the U.N. is Tyranny.

The Republic of SilveryMinnow protests such heavy handed actions against the sovereign right of independant nations.

>>>transmission<<<

The Nation of Seran is wholly against conflict, but in the light of the evidence, the blame does seem to lie with Terristan, but not entirely, i propose if Terristan give up the habouring terrorists, the blockade should be lifted, until then we are on high alert, and are ready to give aid to Mcleod03.

As you are aware I have been secretly sending you shipments of arms. Due to this UN blockade- sending in large cargo vessels is impossible. so we've had to resort to sending in armed speed boats to try to run their blockade.

Anyway we have 10 C-141s ready for takeoff with more arms in their cargo bays. We request permission to enter your airspace. We also request a fighter escort.

***End Message***[/code:1:c18394cb7d]

permission will be given at a set time period. This is given in code.
Escort will be provided, 16 Mig 29 fighter aircraft will be dispatched.

SilveryMinnow - Terristan has a history of terrorism, and, if my memory serves me correctly, has always pledged himself to a terrorist nation, even at birth.

I once defended him, much as you do now, but he continued on the path of terror, killing many innocent civilians. Your stance now will change nothing. He will continue, until you yourself have to decide between joining A Corp, and defending the free world.


<At the blockade>

"Torpedoes in the water. All countermesaures launched, all nets away. All ships, return fire." shouted the officer-in-command. "Officer on the deck" he called again, as Beattie stepped onto the bridge.

Beattie immediately took command of the situation. "Open fire on those larger ships, i want them sunk. Send all nearby Pegesus to intercept the speedboats, and release all gun batteries to open fire."

From one horizon to the next, orange balls of flame leap from the guns of the cruisers and battleships, and the white wakes of the hydrofoil patrol boats stand out crisply against the dark sea.

"All patrol boats report being in range, admiral" said the duty officer "Open fire" said Beattie, a cold look of determination crossing his face.

The lighter 57-mm guns of the patrol boats came to life, and 60 harpoon missiles flew towards the larger vessels, four per ship. Heavier shells tore the sea apart around the torpedo boats, and 57-mm gunfire tore lines towards the enemy hulls.

A vast majority of the torpedos are fooled by counter-measures or caught in torpedo nets. The MMNV Endeavour is hit twice, yet remains afloat barely, reduced to little more than a crawl.

*Onboard the manned Mark Vs*

Most of the harpoon missiles are jammed with jamming devices, most of them hit the water. Others are spoofed with chaff. However some of them make it through and sink 4 of the drone boats.

The 40 manned boats then fire about 25 torpedos to slow the enemy down. Targets are- patrol boats, battleships, frigates, etc.

All the boats are at max speed, with their missile jammers at 100%, dropping tons of chaff to spoof the missiles. The pilota of the manned boats manuver to try and avoid the gunfire. But most of it is directed at the 50 unmanned boats.

Machine Gunfire is exchanged between the speed boats and the patrol boats, as the Mark Vs head towards Terristani waters.

-Press Release-

Adding action to their outcries, protestors in the Republic of SilveryMinnow have offered to use themselves as "Human shields."

Spokesman for the Protestors, Longhair McPonytail remarked; "our government won't take a sh*t without affirmation from the region, but that doesn't mean we the freedom loving citizens of SilveryMinnow have to stand for such facist bullsh*t! If Terristan or some other country can get us where we need to be in order to deter the Invasion of Terristan, we will volunteer our bodies as shields for centers that aid humanity, like hospitals. Let the facists kill us too! We are willing to die for liberty."

The government of SilveryMinnow reports that it is unable to legally stop the protestors.

Secret IC: The C-141s have now safely landed at your airbases. They are now in the process of unloading the above mentioned supplys.

I, the Leader of the psychotic nation of the Borderlands of the Fanatical Terrorists, have been supporting the terrorists of Terristan openly. My nation has been recieving nuclear devices from allied nations who wish to remain anonymous but have had a very successful nuclear program. Stop the blockade of Terristan or me and my allies will be forced to act, bringing swift death on wings of nuclear and biological weapons. You may think I am "godmoding" as you call it but, as I have stated, my nation is being supported by a select group of nations. I do not want to kill all of you, just some as an example, so do not force me to attack your fleets.
I will leave all this French diplomatic stuff to all of the other nations involved in this incident, but if Terristan or Geforce have to launch military operations I will provide help. Nation of Terristan, I stand ready to terrorize our enemies if you seek help.

Another freighter flying Red Tides flag approaches the blockade.

OOC: The harpoons arent aimed at the patrol boats, but way past them.

IC:

A large volley of 126 Wolverine-N cruise missiles is fired at the patrol boats and support ships. They are satellite, infra-red, and radar guided. Jamming them is nigh on impossible, as the will home in on radar or jamming sources.

Radar-guided gunfire continues to fall around the patrol boats, as decoy target torpedos are launched, emitting huge targets for the enemy torpedos to hit.

All enemy torpedos hit the drons, and the Pegasus hydrofoils catch up witht he speedboats, firing constantly at close range, fire also coming from lighter 35-mm AA guns, and even 7.72-mm rail mounted machine-guns.

OOC:
You have yet to explain eaxclty how you intend to fit torps on a markV
and who said stop? annoy and hinder is the aim of the game

IC: The Lancer crews were well aware that the boats closest to them were drones (some discription of the exact modifications you have made to the Mark V would be nice as other wise it will be vissible from a long way off that they are unmanned as you need to stand on the deck to use the weapons...) as signal analysis quickly lit the control links up on the tactical displays.

Thye Lancers open fire as soon as the first trops clear thier launcher units, the 35mm cannon fire ripping vessels to little bits (35mm cannon fire buggers up tanks... and the guns fire at 100rpm and are capable of engaging 10 targets in less than a minute) this is sumplmented by supporting fire from the secondary weapons (3 20mm cannons, 2 M5 ATGMS and 3 GAU-19s).

In the air:
On board a EW aircraft luanched (as part of a routine patrol earlier) from the Achilles:
Senior technician Anderson was working frantically the narrow down and isoloate the control signals for the drones, finally he looked up from his display and yelled, "Signal isloated ready for jamming!"
"Copy ready for jamming, jamming now" replied Crew cheif Smith as the massively powerful emitters came on line to grey out the drone control signals just as the drone began to fire...

With the main fleet:

As the torps entered the water the fleet launched a massive wave of counter measures, counter tropedos and at the same time turned all the soubouys to active generating a massive sonar ping to drown out the torp's active giudance returns (or if they run passive basically blinding/deafening them, this also will show any submarine in the area to anyone who is prepared and hasn't had thier equipment damanged by the pulse ie like the crookfur subs who had turn thier sonar off).

In return the massed batteries of 160mm secondaries (on the battle ship) and primaries (on the criusers and frigates) open fire on the boats while thier close in weapons systems add to the fury.

The rolling thunder of gun fire is drowned out by the sharp eruption that anounces the firing of the Geraldine's main guns as they hrul thier deadly payload at the FO-FO vessels.

OK numbers now:
So who cares about drones with 30 seconds of firing giving over 100 160mm rounds on target, 18 12" rounds on the FO-FOs, and each major vessel having 2 or more 35mm CIWS (similar to the guns on the missile boats) so basically your fleet has no chance even if we don't successfully jam the control links.

The intial fire from the drone machine guns largely bounces off the Lancers but a few rounds find lucky spots destroying 2 boats and disabling the weaponary of a further 3.

The Sailors on the Mark Vs continue firing at the hyrdofoils. Mass gunfire is exchanged between the Mark Vs and the patrol craft. People are shot on both sides.

A couple of the sailors then run back inside the crew cabin, they open up a secret compartment, and pull out some RPG-7s. They then head to the back of their boats and fire the RPGs at the pursuing craft.

They hear the cruise missiles coming in and pull out some Stinger missiles, which they fire at the Tomahawks. The jammers spoof most of the incoming missiles, and tons more chaff is dropped behind them.

However the torpedos hit about 8 of the 40 manned craft, all of the others are dodged. More RPGs are fired at the pursuing patrol boats.

The Mark Vs are now about a half mile away from the blockade, and about 1 mile away from Terristani waters.

The country of Jomanker3 is a country that does not support terrorism. We have remained out of this conflict for a long time, due to the previous national feeling of isolationism. However, I recently addressed my country about the Global Liberation Army. Their growing power concerns my citizens, and myself. So, on behalf of my entire nation, I announce my alliance with the country of McLeod03.

The Wolverines pass over the patrol boats, releasing their deadly cargos of mini bomblets over the speedboats. Each avoids the stinger missiles with its own flares and high speed jinks.

The bomblets rain down upon the decks of the speedboats, exploding on contact, each having the same power as a grenade, and around 50 are dropped by each missile on each attack run it makes on a target. (It makes three runs, then detonates itself onto a fourth target)

OOC: What about all the bloody missiles i've fired at the larger ships?

One of the Pegasus is heavily damaged by an RPG round to the bridge, the other getting away with light damage such as broken windows.

Heavy gunfire rakes the stern and bow of most boats, and all the other ships of the fleet open fire as the Pegasus fall back. The speedboats have been driven into a semicircle of McLeodian ships from which there is no escape. Gunfire rains down from all around, large and small calibre, tearing boats apart. The gunfire is relentless, and the chance of survival is virtually nil.

18 MiG29 fighters accompanied by 26 SU-27 fighter/bombers equipped with AS missiles patrol Terristani airspace, in the distance can be seen flashs as the Bigmeni speed boats attempt to break through to Terristani waters.

9 MiGs break off and head to a low altitude, closer to the flashes, inside Terristani airspace.

3 Missile cruisers and 5 Destroyers head to the east, preparing to recieve the runners.

More stinger missiles are fired at the enemy planes as they try to bomb the speed boats. But seeing as how the boats are travelling so fast most of the bomblets miss. However about 10 of them are lost (leaving me with about 18 manned boats, and about 25 unmanned.

Cruise missiles are fired, and a couple more boats are lost. However the crew fires a ton of RPGs at more pursuing speed boats.

The pilots of the speed boats can see the Terristani MiG-29s in the distance, and they fly overhead engaging the enemy fleet. The speed boat crew begin to celebrate when the MiGs fly over.

Because they have crossed into Terristan waters with about 16 manned boats left (about 40 of the 90 total boats are lost)

It would help if anyone noticed my responses :( ;)...


Red tide:
As the freighter aproaches it is hailed by one of the Eva class patrol boats and permission for an inspection party to come aboard is sought.


Terristan:
I feel sorry for your aircrews, the odd accidental search sweeps from my task groups will be making them nervous, as will the very faint blips they pick up now and then.

soz double post.

and the freighter?

Bigmenistan, your ships were under constant fire from heavy, medium, and light gunfire fore well over ten minnutes. They were caught in a semi circle of ships with no escape except back the way they came. How did they get through?

TERRISTAN ATTACKED!

bulletin: associated free press

An attempt by the nation of Bigmenistan to run the blockade of Terristan with war ships carrying aid, resulted in McLeod warships of the blockade firing upon the runners sent by Bigmenistan.

Terristan responded to the attack, creating open conflict between nations.

Press Secretary Tailthrasher issued an address: "We would hope that the hostilities would not be escalated between so many nations, and would offer negotiators from SilveryMinnow to bring the affected parties to the table in an attempt to reestablish a peaceful solution."

Militant Activist Longhair Ponytail responded to the release by reading a prepared statement.

"The nation of McLeod has shown its true agenda, by firing upon aid ships from the peace-loving nation of Bigmenistan. Although our government has impeded the Human Shields movement by stopping all transport to involved nations, we pledge to find an alternate means to reach Terristan in order to block the Aggression of McLeod and its conqueror allies."

16 of the 40 manned speed boats are now safely in Terristan waters. The 15 support ships come under fire from cruise missiles.

Some of the missiles are shot down, however about 7 of the 15 ships are sunk. A radio message is then sent-

"This is Admiral Johnston on the BSS BIG-MAN, calling the UN blockade- cease and desist all attacks on our ships in international waters, or we will be forced to respond. These ships are here on excercises, they have not engaged in any form of hostility with your fleet.

I repeat- cease and desist all strikes on our fleet"

*more cruise missiles come in as a result*
====================================

*the PA system then comes on on the carrier*

"Battle stations, battle stations, all pilots and crew to their planes. We are under attack. This is not a drill".

The pilots and crew then rush to get the planes ready. 16 Su-33 Flankers then take off and being CAPs of the fleet. Their job is to intercept cruise missiles and enemy planes.

16 Su-34s take off as well, armed with anti-ship missiles, they fly towards the blockade.
====================================

The 16 Su-34s then fire their anti-ship missiles from about 40 miles away from the blockade. About 40 missiles are launched in all.

Targets are- destroyers, frigates, battleships, cruisers, and hyrdofoils.

I let you sink 24 of them, the least you can do is let 16 get through.....

To be more specific on how the speed boats got through-

Terristan launched an airstrike on your ships with MiG-29s, and about 3/4 of the ships you encircled were drones. All of the boats you encircled were sunk.

OOC: Right, lets get this sorted out

1) Bigmenistan, the wolverines were NOT LAUNCHED AT YOUR FLEET, they were launched at the 15 unmarked vessels.

2) SilveryMinnow - where is the t-gram i asked to be sent at the start of the thread asking for you to be involved?


IC:

<Public Broadcast>

Live satellite footage shows the launch of the speedboats from within the Bigmenistani fleet. The footage tracks them until the launch of the first volley of torpedos, clearly showing the starburst warning shots fired.

"There you have it folks. Bigmenistani terrorists, supporting those acting in Terristan and Guerillistan, have attacked McLeodian naval vessel in international waters. This satellite footage is being sent to every government in the world to be verified for authenticity. Other countries with satellite footage are urged to show it.

This was an unprovoked act of war, follwoing the attacks on our ships by Bigmenistani special forces operating from the cover of Red Cross ships as they attempted to smuggle weapons into Terristan.

This has been David Thompson, MBC News"

This is the last straw. You have overstepped your mark in attacking our ships. This will not be tolerated.


A large force of Lancer 2 bombers scramble from McLeod03, armed to teh teeth with anti-ship weaponry. They are escorted by 4 Al-52 Dragons, and 12 EB-52 Megafortress bombers.

As for your carrier where on earth did that just materialise from.

Anyway if your carrier does actually exist.
your planes will be getting some very very faint blips on thier radar.

Your bomber suddenly get soem larger blips as the sky is filled by ACM9s fired from my dragon pearls (that would be 48 very fast BVR missiles).

Presidental address to the people of Bigmenistan-

"This morning our 1st Fleet, operating about 70 miles UN blockade came under attack from their cruise missiles. This attack was unjustified, the fleet was in the area on peaceful manuvers. Their fleet has already sunk a humanitarian vessel, now there's this unjustified attack on our fleet.

We're not just going to sit idly by, while the UN has it's way with weaker nations. We hereby pledge full support to Terristan.

I have ordered the deployment of our 5th, 4th, and 3rd infantry divisions (100,000 men) to take up defensive positions in Terristan. I have also ordered the deployment of our 3rd fleet, and about 10 airwings to Terristan.

I know that with God's blessing, we will find a way to overcome these genocidal UN maniacs. We're also rest-assured of the full backing of GCON."

OOC: I made a suggestion, you are in fact godmodding by not providing any details at all of how your vessels could possibly survive the pounding they took. also how could they out run any vessels when they need to go through them?
Look at the sheer number of vessels in the blockade they will stretch for far more than the spread of your vessels and with decetn SIGINT we will know exactly which boat is which (oh course anything comming within 2km of any vessel would get shredded by CIWS fire even if they evaded the massive pummelling)

you still have to post losses on the FO-FO vessels from the 12" guns

IC:
All the incoming missiles die in a massive corodinated wave of RAMs, Star streaks and CIWS fire.

A wave of SAMs is launched against the retreating fighter bombers (casualties from the AAMS and the SAMS please).

The incoming Harpoon missiles are shredded by fire from the CIWS and SAM systems.

The response is fast and brutal.

600 Wolverine-N cruise missiles are launched by the McLeodian fleet towards the Bigmenistani aggressors. Further support comes from the inbound bombers, who fire another 200 Wolverines.

Air support comes from the EB-52s, which fire 144 MAULRAAMs at the incoming fighters, whilst the AL-52s target incoming missiles and the Harpoons.

Two Pegasus patrol boats are lost to Harpoon fire, but the counter-attack should be devastating.


<Public Broadcast>

Footage showing the events unfolding is broadcast live. It shows how the unmarked vessels are hit by the McLeodian counter-attack, and then the Bigmenistani fleet fire without warning or attack, clearly committing an act of war, for the third time since the blockade began.

gah blody forum thats 2 replies its eaten...

A wave of SAMs is launched against the retreating fighter bombers (casualties from the AAMS and the SAMS please).

If you can destroy all of my anti-ship missiles, then my speed boats (which were aided by an airstrike) can certianly out run a god-modding blockade (there's no way a blockade will have a 100% success rate)

And I already explained how the 16 boats made it through- they were aided by a Terristani airstrike.

Besides, the boats were travelling at 50 knots, there's no way a frigate or battleship can keep up with that speed.

The incoming Harpoon missiles are shredded by fire from the CIWS and SAM systems.

The response is fast and brutal.

600 Wolverine-N cruise missiles are launched by the McLeodian fleet towards the Bigmenistani aggressors. Further support comes from the inbound bombers, who fire another 200 Wolverines.

Air support comes from the EB-52s, which fire 144 MAULRAAMs at the incoming fighters, whilst the AL-52s target incoming missiles and the Harpoons.

Two Pegasus patrol boats are lost to Harpoon fire, but the counter-attack should be devastating.


<Public Broadcast>

Footage showing the events unfolding is broadcast live. It shows how the unmarked vessels are hit by the McLeodian counter-attack, and then the Bigmenistani fleet fire without warning or attack, clearly committing an act of war, for the third time since the blockade began.

OOC: Well if you can destroy all my Harpoons without a loss, then I can do the same.

IC: All of your cruise missiles were intercepted and destroyed by my patroling Su-33 Flankers. :lol:

OOC: If you read properly, you would note that two of his patrol boats were destroyed by Harpoon missiles. His explanation for the intercept and counterattack was perfectly sound. At this point, it looks like you're just being spiteful.

OOC: Right, lets get this sorted out

1) Bigmenistan, the wolverines were NOT LAUNCHED AT YOUR FLEET, they were launched at the 15 unmarked vessels.

2) SilveryMinnow - where is the t-gram i asked to be sent at the start of the thread asking for you to be involved?


IC:

<Public Broadcast>

Live satellite footage shows the launch of the speedboats from within the Bigmenistani fleet. The footage tracks them until the launch of the first volley of torpedos, clearly showing the starburst warning shots fired.

"There you have it folks. Bigmenistani terrorists, supporting those acting in Terristan and Guerillistan, have attacked McLeodian naval vessel in international waters. This satellite footage is being sent to every government in the world to be verified for authenticity. Other countries with satellite footage are urged to show it.

This was an unprovoked act of war, follwoing the attacks on our ships by Bigmenistani special forces operating from the cover of Red Cross ships as they attempted to smuggle weapons into Terristan.

This has been David Thompson, MBC News"

This is the last straw. You have overstepped your mark in attacking our ships. This will not be tolerated.


A large force of Lancer 2 bombers scramble from McLeod03, armed to teh teeth with anti-ship weaponry. They are escorted by 4 Al-52 Dragons, and 12 EB-52 Megafortress bombers.

(LOL, It would appear I am already involved, really enjoying the thread. :twisted: )

SilveryMinnow Protestors Demonstrate

Outraged by the apparent Invasion of Terristan by aggressor nations. Citizens of SilveryMinnow demonstrated in nearly all of this nations major cities.

Leftist Senator Web Nettingbay publically spoke out against those nations involved with the Invasion.

A popular singing group, The Dixie Fry admitted that they were ashamed that their nation would not take action.

Militant Activist looking for a ride Longhair McPonytail led a demonstration in the streets of SilveryMinnows Capital. Said McPonytail, "Why does our freedom loving nation refuse to act? We demand action!" McPonytail was unable to continue as he was immediately placed under arrest.

Bigmenistan -

1)you never said how many missiles you launched. It could have been about five. Tell me how many and i'll update.

2) I don't see how you f--- ships can dodge SO MANY f--- bullets and shells. Its not possible. Terristan never actually stated firing on my forces, therefore there was no airstrike.

3)The blockade would have been more effective than only killing 60% of your ships. I'll accept maybe one or two getting through, no more.

4) I launched 800 cruise missiles at your fleet. Post losses.

5)Take the above advice, amend, and wave your carrier goodbye.


SilveryMinnow - Get the hell off my thread.

*Terristani airstrikes have not taken place yet, MiGs escorted remaining speed boats once entering Terristani waters*

(OOC: been away for bit, fixed internet sort of!)

OOC: can i suggest we keep missile launchs down, it will mean we can RP better and not get so confused.
thanks and lets try to RP fairly and decently. :)

Terristan:
I feel sorry for your aircrews, the odd accidental search sweeps from my task groups will be making them nervous, as will the very faint blips they pick up now and then.

i shouldn't feel sorry if i were you, your task group is currently in range of our entire GLCM systems. Aircraft have less fear of your task force than your task force should be feeling being in such range of multiple airstrikes and our own fleet.

OOC: Lets get back to my freighter now.

IC: Sure we will let you investigate the freighter.

The Imperial Government would just like to take this time to point something out, a blockade against another nation is an act of war against the blockaded nation and needs to real reason to strike at the blockade.

>>>Encrypt<<<

>>>To:- Mcleod03<<<

The Allied states of Seran wish to aid you in your blockade, we have stated before that we stand by you, and we do stick by it, we wish to send 50 of our Ka 58 helicopters, and 20 of our tishan class tiger copters with 200 men, if we can have permission to land on your support cruisers, since our helicopters are relatively new, and as our navy is very weak at the moment and would be of no use to you.

>>>End Transmission<<<

>>>J0&GD(^g Encrypt<<<

OOC:

Let me remind you a few points:
1. We know exactly whcih vessels are manned and which aren't and since you haven't claimed otherwise we jammed your control signals.

2: the vessels at the very outer edge of your formation (which almsot works just a shame it throws your msot valuable units either into the most dangerous sector or leaves them without the rnage to be of any use (your forntage puts the outside boats in a postion where they can barely make terristan waters)) would be throughly minced (either my missile boats were on one flank or both flanks it doesn't matter as if they were on one flank the other would be well covered by the main fleet). a conservative estimate of the missile baots kill levels would give a number around about 32 but i would redcue that to 25 to acount for damage and time to generate intercepts.

3: Any of your tropedo armed vessels would have had to come within 5-8km of vessels to be able to launch and you mention RPGs which indicates a range of less than 300m.

4: fact about my naval weapons: CIWS: has a greater than 95% probabale kill against anything within 3km, 160mm AGS: rapid fire guns with a 40km rnage and in this case using automous muntions which self giude, 1 minute of firing from my fleet loads over 200 of these onto a target, 12" AHGS: fairly rapid fire big gun with ranges around 60km
Of course elts note forget the gunships with thier 8 Hellfire 3s and 40 giuded rockets each.

This is my fleet alone whcih will cover a sector about 120km long with 100% coverage, there is likely a gap between my fleet and Mcloeds and it is likely that you aimed for this with your lightest vessels (ie Mark Vs with nothing at all on them including weapons or cargo as all your other vessels are too over laoded with the trops and the control suysytems for the drones) so i would recon you could get at most 4-5 boats through (even with an airstrike which would be handled by other systems).


On the issue of CIWS and defence fire, you launched your harpoons at 50km over open sea giving us plnety of time to work up a nice coordinated defence plan (oh you mean your ships don't have a linked defence system?) which is easily capable of dealing with threats.

You still have to post fo-fo and fighter bomber losses.

Bigmenistan -

1)you never said how many missiles you launched. It could have been about five. Tell me how many and i'll update.

2) I don't see how you f--- ships can dodge SO MANY f--- bullets and shells. Its not possible. Terristan never actually stated firing on my forces, therefore there was no airstrike.

3)The blockade would have been more effective than only killing 60% of your ships. I'll accept maybe one or two getting through, no more.

4) I launched 800 cruise missiles at your fleet. Post losses.

5)Take the above advice, amend, and wave your carrier goodbye.


SilveryMinnow - Get the hell off my thread.

1) 40 (at your battleships, cruisers, frigates, destroyers, and hyrdrofoils

2) Only 16 made it through, I started with 90.

3) Terristan is the size of Greenland, you're blockade is bound to have weak spots, there's just no getting around it.

4) I will in a sec.

5) Maybe, but I doubt you fired all 800 missiles at my carrier. Cause that would just waste those missiles, and the money spent on them. Which in turn would piss the population off.

BTW- I attacked your fleet because you hit mine, while it was on excercise in international waters.
=========================================

IC:

"Admiral, radar detects an incoming flight of cruise missiles, they are coming in at 500 knots, at 800 feet. They're about 18 miles away from the fleet!"

"Commander I want you to radio in to the battleships, cruisers and destroyers. Tell them to get all of their PHALANX CIWS ready to fire at the missiles. Radio our frigates and tell them to aim their Sea Sparrow missiles. Tell them all to begin launching cruise missiles! And while you're at it radio the Su-33s and Su-34s that are already airborne. Tell them to head to the Terristani airbase and land, I'll radio ahead to Terristan so they don't get fired on. Launch the F/A-18 Superhornets on alert!"

"Aye Aye Sir!"
====================================

The battleships, cruisers, and destroyers then begin launching a barrage of their own cruise missiles. About 957 are launched in all. Their targets are the carriers, battleships, frigates, destroyers, etc.

About 16 F/A-18s then launch off the deck and fire about 32 Harpoon missiles at the blockade as well (from about 60 miles away)

The enemy cruise missiles then come in- immediately they are opened up on by Phalanx guns, Sparrow missiles, and Adder missiles (launched by the MiG-29s and Su-33s).

A large number of the missiles are destroyed, however they get through and hit the carrier, a battleship, 2 frigates, and a destroyer.

The frigates sink, the battleship is destroyed, the destroyer is rendered immobile, and the carrier is severly damaged. It is forced to leave the area for repairs.
=================================

Meanwhile the Su-33s, F/A-18s, and MiG-29s take turns flying to Terristani airbases (word was radioed in from the Admiral) and refueling. They then fly out to the fleet in shifts and do their CAPs.

The planes take special precautions when flying to Terristan, by flying about 30-40 miles out of the way to get around the blockade and avoid SAM fire.

OOC: please post your losses from my cruise missile and harpoon attack. I targeted your carrier (with about 40 of the missiles), frigates, cruisers, destroyers, battleships, hydrofoils, etc. 957 cruise missiles were fired back at you, with an additional 32 Harpoons.

Date: 18 December, 2003.
Location: Jomanker3.

Title: Shocking News about the Blockade!


President Truman of the Mess Hall Crew of Jomanker3 recenty made a State of Emergancy Speech about actions at the blockade. Here are some of the hilights: "....This is clearly in act of aggression......Our country will not tolerate terrorism......so terrorists decided they will not tolerate us.......the airbase where our fine men and women serve our country, in an undsiclosed location.......was assualted overnight by unknown forces.......Our intelligence does not know who performed this act of war......The complete mobilization of the military reserves is underway......We will discover our offenders......and we will destroy them!"
Now, there is no idea as to who assualted the strategic airbase. Apparently, the President is dumbfounded by this war act. A senior government official has stated that "the forces who conducted this overnight raid were highly trained, highly efficient fighting forces. They left nothing of the massive air base. They were long gone by the time we realized what truly had happened. We have abruptly pulled out all our embassies, troops, and civilians out of <<undisclosed nation>>." All we can be sure of is that Jomanker3 is preparing for war.

**Subj- Troops**

Over a 4 week NS process- our C-141s, An-225s, An-124s, C-5s, and C-130s have sent approx. 160,000 troops to your nation to help defend against an amphibious landing.

5 Infantry divisions are represented there- 8th (Armored), 4th (Airborne Para-troops), 5th (Mechanized), 11th (Air cavalry), 9th (Air cavalry)

Our cargo ships have also been managing to get through as well, however they have taken heavy missile fire in the process, but their battleship and destroyer escorts managed to see most of them through.

On top of that we have sent the following planes from our Airforce-

2 Airwings of A-10 Thunderbolts (167 planes)
2 Airwings of B-52H Stratofortresses (162 planes)
2 Airwings of F-15C Eagles (160 planes)
1 Airwing of F-16C Falcons (80 planes)
1 Airwing of Su-27A Flankers (82 planes)
1 Airwing of E-3 Sentry AWACS (84 planes)
1 Airwing of E-8 JSTARS (80 planes)

1 Airwing of C-141s (86 planes)
1 Airwing of EA-6s (80 planes)
2 Airwings of KC-135s (160 planes)
(1,221 planes total)

---Transmission from Jomanker National News ("Eyewitness News")---

"The complete annihlation of one of Jomanker3's largest airbases has every Jomankan citizen shocked. Many families at home are grieving the losses of their relatives stationed at the classified airbase, sometimes known as "AirBase Echo". President Truman has now stated that they have found those responsible for the terrible assualt, and have "dealt sufficiently" with them. The SAW organization (Soldiers Against War) is supposedly responsible for the attacks. A platoon of elite Navy SEALs recently invaded SAW's headquarters, which were in a small nation in the East Pacific. Intelligence officials believe that someone payed the "mercenaries" to undertake that assualt. Jomanker has a treaty with the nation unknowingly harboring them.


In related news, Jomanker3 is now entering the blockade with its entire Naval Fleet Alpha, consisting of over 200 ships, to join in the blockade. President Truman has also recalled to action the National Guard, and placed the Coast Guard on Extreme High Alert. The Warning Level is Red, which means the Jomankan government is very worried about threats. Joining the blockade, stationed on ships, are five Marine infantry divisions, and three Marine Armored divisions. Naval Fleet Alpha is the strongest Jomankan fleet (Jomanker has three fleets total), and is also known as the most disciplined and effective. Jomankan military officials refuse comment on the use of "other factors".


It is currently one week until Christmas, with war apparently breaking out in Terristan. Tensions are building, events are escalating, and the horizon is looking bleak indeed. Live from Houston City, I am Robert Fox, Eyewitness News"

OOC: Well this isn't real life, this is NS. Besides- those JSTARS can provide valuable information on troop movements, ships in the blockade, etc.

I only have about 2 recon satellites. Each one passes over the Terristan area every 16 hours. I gotta be able to collect info in that timespan.

Read the first post. Where it says "T-gram me if you want to get involved"

30 miles off the coast of Bigmenistan, six Victory class SSBNs surface, and ripple launch 60 Tomahawk cruise missiles at known military bases and airfields.

With the missiles launched, the submarines dive again, then turn, and slip away, heading back to Clan McLewis.

OOC: Well this isn't real life, this is NS. Besides- those JSTARS can provide valuable information on troop movements, ships in the blockade, etc.

Oh dear this is getting silly isn't it...

You talk about week points in the blockade but never mentioned which secotr you were aiming at all you mentioend was your 540mile frontage which places a good few of your units out of range, please read my post concerning the issues surounding your attack and its contradictions...

Phalax: hahahahahahhahahahahaha! i laugh at your silly insufficent CIWS coverage (i don't suppose you have noticed the fact that british units only use it on vessel too old/small to take goalkeeper and how the US navy are frantic to get a replacement)

30-40miles? even at that range US and british forces could be swatting your planes down like flies


Anyway looking a tthe rahter silly number of issues surrounding your air craft and your deployment of them (oh operating f18s and soviet planes from the same vessel is a total waste as it involves massive stores incompatability, duplication of roles and the fact that these are totally different aircraft using very different aproaches to things meaning you can't just have a joint pool of mechanics (about the only thing they might have in common would be data bus modules and even that is debatable)).

As for your socalled airforce deployment i suggest you rethink it or be ingnored, even with gaps in the blockade coverage the sheer size of your apparent air armada means your would suffer astonishing levels of causalties. Even a concentrated strike from all the tactical aircraft presented while likely sucessful in reducing the threat to your more important units. let me paint you the picture:

Even with external tanks (which will drastically reduce your weapons loads) your fighters will need lots of tanker support (and your tankers will likely stray into danger). As your fighter start to arrive soemwhere near the region they might get a few faint blips and stealth indicators before soemthing launchs AAMs from over 200km away this will be followed by a massed launch from 150km, of course unless you heavily stagger your forces these will gonore your air to air fighters and target your F-16s and EA-6s (the only things which would be any threat to the surface units) of course if you do stagger then we won't come out to play and your fighters can try and see if AMRAAMs have any use against ships... while dodging massed SAM fire. the fact of the matter is that however you look at it you are goign to suffer horendous losses getting all those aircraft here, ic could even sacrafice my fleet to ensure the loss of your bombers and support aircraft.


Additionally the numbers involved make for very good ignoring.
A-10s the USAF can barely afford to keep 114 of these airwothy and they really don't do long rnage deployments very well.
B-52s again in terms of keeping these in the air the americans have problems keeping 50 of them operational
the main fighters are about right
but awacs and jstars are just silly and a stupid waste of money (rl 25 and 11 respectively).
Transport and tanker aircraft are OK (if that is the majority of your fleet) but will be suffering hideous vunerabilities


Oh and finally 4 weeks? if thats the case for the timeline of this i might aswell bring in another 3 naval task groups....






Red Tide:
OOC: sorry about the delay but this sillyness is a bit of a bother.

As the RIB from the EVA comes along side a team of 12 Crookfur Marines and 1 dog come aboard.
As they reach the duty officer (or whatever your equivevelnet sort of thing would be) the leftenant in command of the unit salutes

OOC: remember lets not go over the top on this!


*Terristan remains at a state of red alert, Bigmenistani troops have been welcomed, although there is extremely limited hanger space at Terristani airbases.

At the moment civilian airbases are being taken over, still there iis nowhere enough room for all those aircraft.*

"No objections at all." He said as he lead the team too the cargo bay. Inside the cargo bay there were 50 large containers.
"Each one of these containers holds a single Toyota. We are willing too open them if you like."

OOC:Is the dog a bomb sniffer? And is any of that equipment able too detect plastic explosives?

OOC: the yes the dog is a bomb/arms sniffer and the devices are a mix of chemical trace sniffers (could they be picking up faint bio/chem traces? or is that simply back ground details from previous usage of the ship?), heart beat detectors and ultra sound imagers (plasic explosives may show up on this it depends how they are packaged).

IC:
The leftenant replies, "If it wouldn't be too much trouble we would welcome the chance to inspect these containers in an open condition. Now if it wouldn't be an inconvinenance could you please escort me to the command section so that i may make a check of your recent manifests, merely a formality and a defence against possible mistakes made during our inspection."

OOC: should the team be getting soemthing fishy?

Bigmenistan - those are heavily armed cruise missiles, designed for lastability. Your fleet is gone. Face it, there is no system in the world good enough to stop that many missiles.

Your fire control radars would be too busy defending the fleet to launch.

Oh and, you attacked first. I launched on UNMARKED ships. You committed three acts of war in a short space of time. THe McLeodian Empire will see your nation end.

Your launch on those unmarked ships while they were in international waters was an act of war.

I did fire 957 cruise missiles at your blockade, some ships were busy defending from missiles, but the others had the launch oppurtunity, and they did.

So please post your losses, and don't give me any BS about how they were all shot down or missed (like Crookfur did with my Harpoons)

Besides I was generous enough to let you destroy my carrier, a battleship, 2 frigates, a destroyer, 7 cargo vessels, 74 Mark Vs, etc.- While you were able to see a frogman espionage attempt via satellite, shoot down all of my Harpoons, your helicopters dodged all of my stinger missiles (even though they don't register a launch warning when fired), all of the torpedos on my Mark Vs were stopped, etc.

So please post your losses

Anyway looking a tthe rahter silly number of issues surrounding your air craft and your deployment of them (oh operating f18s and soviet planes from the same vessel is a total waste as it involves massive stores incompatability, duplication of roles and the fact that these are totally different aircraft using very different aproaches to things meaning you can't just have a joint pool of mechanics (about the only thing they might have in common would be data bus modules and even that is debatable)).

As for your socalled airforce deployment i suggest you rethink it or be ingnored, even with gaps in the blockade coverage the sheer size of your apparent air armada means your would suffer astonishing levels of causalties. Even a concentrated strike from all the tactical aircraft presented while likely sucessful in reducing the threat to your more important units. let me paint you the picture:

Even with external tanks (which will drastically reduce your weapons loads) your fighters will need lots of tanker support (and your tankers will likely stray into danger). As your fighter start to arrive soemwhere near the region they might get a few faint blips and stealth indicators before soemthing launchs AAMs from over 200km away this will be followed by a massed launch from 150km, of course unless you heavily stagger your forces these will gonore your air to air fighters and target your F-16s and EA-6s (the only things which would be any threat to the surface units) of course if you do stagger then we won't come out to play and your fighters can try and see if AMRAAMs have any use against ships... while dodging massed SAM fire. the fact of the matter is that however you look at it you are goign to suffer horendous losses getting all those aircraft here, ic could even sacrafice my fleet to ensure the loss of your bombers and support aircraft.


Additionally the numbers involved make for very good ignoring.
A-10s the USAF can barely afford to keep 114 of these airwothy and they really don't do long rnage deployments very well.
B-52s again in terms of keeping these in the air the americans have problems keeping 50 of them operational
the main fighters are about right
but awacs and jstars are just silly and a stupid waste of money (rl 25 and 11 respectively).
Transport and tanker aircraft are OK (if that is the majority of your fleet) but will be suffering hideous vunerabilities


Oh and finally 4 weeks? if thats the case for the timeline of this i might aswell bring in another 3 naval task groups....






Red Tide:
OOC: sorry about the delay but this sillyness is a bit of a bother.

IC:

As the RIB from the EVA comes along side a team of 12 Crookfur Marines and 1 dog come aboard.
As they reach the duty officer (or whatever your equivevelnet sort of thing would be) the leftenant in command of the unit salutes
"Hi there, we are dreadfully sorry to be inconveincacing and it was jolly decent of you to haul to so promptly but what with all the excitment hysteria and sillyness going on we have to take care."he paused and gestured to his men as they preapred a number of hand held devices and to the dog which sits wagging it tail "We will try to be quick and not hold you back more than nessicary, we do appologiuse for any of your crew who may object to dogs but they are very well behaved and freindly while being rahter vital".

OOC: Well you somehow managed to shoot down all of my harpoons with Phalanx....

And you ask how can I support that many planes in the field?....with a powerhouse economoy and a 400 billion dollar defense budget. That's how.

And 4 weeks is about right when you're flying in via cargo planes.

"Sure you can see the bridge(OOC:that basically is where the data from previous missions are stored)." The captain led them too the bridge... It turned out from the information of previous missions this frieghter was used mostly too export Banshees most of the time. Other times it was used too ship supplies(ammunition, food, water, clothes) too Red Tide island military Naval Bases in the Atlantic and Indian oceans, as well as Red Tide military research facilities in Antartica.

OOC:If the detectors can see through thick rubber(and wooden containers) they should pick up traces of C4.

surveillance on the large air base, from a very safe and camouflaged distance. You will continue this mission until given further orders. DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?", barks out the captain, in a clear Virginian accent. "SIR, YES, SIR!", responds the platoon of SEALs, the most elite taskforce in Jomanker3. "Good!", yells the Captain. In a more fatherly voice, he adds, "Now get y'all some rest. You're gonna have tough times ahead.". The motivated platoon responds in disciplined unison "Aye Aye, Sir!".

OVER




IC (19 December 2003, 1150 hours): "Admiral, its the President!", said Chief Petty Officer O'Reilly, on board the Jomanker United Ship (J.S.S.) Truman, the command ship for the fleet. The Admiral picked up the phone. "Sir, Admiral Roger Kennedy Thompson report, Mr President, sir!" "Admiral, good morning. Listen, what is the combat readiness factor for an arial bombing in, say, 5 minutes?", asked the President in the AlmostWhite House in Houston City, Texas. 'Good lord, hes not asking much...', thought the admiral. He gulped, then replied "Sir, all units are on high alert. If I immediately alert all necessary commanders, we can get the bomber and escort aircraft airborne in approximately 15 minutes. Sir, what is the target?" The President responded, referring him to the Chief of Staff, Five Star General Conseki. "Admiral, listen up. First, we will...."


OVER


OOC:
In the AlmostWhite House in Houston City (capital city for Jomanker3), the president is found pacing the room. He is extremely distraught after he gave his order to the admiral. He is worried if he made the right decision. He stares for a long time out the bullet-proof glass, wipes a lone tear from his face, and thinks 'Oh God, I hope I've done the right thing...'



OVER



extremly OOC: does anyone even acknowledge the presence of Jomanker3? While not yet at the blockade, we will be within striking distance by 2400 hours.

Your launch on those unmarked ships while they were in international waters was an act of war.



They were responsible for the launch of vesswels destiend to attack McLeodian forces. They committed an act of war before we launched, so quit complaining. You are in the wrong.




Besides I was generous enough to let you destroy my carrier, a battleship, 2 frigates, a destroyer, 7 cargo vessels, 74 Mark Vs,



I launched 800 f--- missiles. You would have taken far more losses than a carrier, a battleship, two frigates, and a destroyer. Post realistically.

In fact, post your fleet stats. I want to see where the 957 cruise missiles came from.

And post losses from the Clan McLewis attack on your homeland.

ooc:

Jomanker3 is still reeling from the loss of a major airbase in a still highly classified location. An investigation is underway, we have dealt with (using Delta Force troops) those physically responsible with it. (A mercenary outfit, operating from Canada06, a remote nation in the EastPacific. We believe there is more to it, and especially considering the evidence we have collected, the funds deposited to their accounts. Our crack anti money-laundering team is working overtime to find the location of funds. We have reasonable suspicion that it was either Terristan or one of its allies. since its allies remain secretive, Terristan is our target. we believe we have enough evidence to retaliate.

signed,
Truman,
President of Jomanker3

You didn't post this was a closed RP Thread. I should be allowed to stay. :P

Read the first post. Where it says "T-gram me if you want to get involved"

Kay, sent the Telegram. Can I stay? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease? I'm having such fun. :mrgreen:

i don't see why not.

TY, Terristan.
Is it okay McLeod? Kin I stay plz? :|

I can help with the rules, for example.

Bigmenistan:

When did i ever say i use Phalanx? I use 35mm millenium guns (and goal keeper on older vessels) and yes these are the same guns that ripped your boats appart as they are fully functional multi role weapons.
The millenium gun has a rating of soemthing aproaching 95% kill probability against 1-5 missile targets (phalanx has soemthing aproaching 80% against 1).
In addition to this i use RAM which addmittedly you will have and it will have helped but it is still fairly limited in current deployments and Starstreak defense missiles (basically the land star streak sam but with updated giudance and engagement profiles, it's 3 independent kill vehciles make it very useful. In additon i have sea rapier 2 which is roughly equvielent to short rnage astor missile.

As to your budget, you actually have a similar budget to the US (which is soemthing like powerhouse with 270million people and a 20% defense spending as opposed to your fairly unsustainable 33%).

THe US is finding the deployment to iraq a strain and it hardly compares to your vaguely silly levels (there actually is no point in that many AEW&C and JSTARS birds being in theatre, using centralised basing 16 AEW&C birds would be more than enough and 12 JSTARS would do the job).

If you wish to play economic phalus comparision i would point you towards my $3.3trillion budget... which by your reconing means i could deploy almsot 10,000 aircraft... which would just be stupidly silly.

1. They were still in international waters. And the Mark Vs interpreted your star shells as an attack.

2. I said that most of your missiles were shot down.

BSS BIG-MAN aircraft carrier
4 battleships
10 destroyers
6 frigates
10 missile cruisers
5 submarines
10 support vessels (7 fuel, 3 supplys)
3 comand ships
as well as numerous patrol boats and the like

So please post your losses from my cruise missile strike.

3. I ignored it, lets just keep this war in the Terristan area okay? I won't bomb your homelands, you don't bomb mine. We could make a good roleplay here.

Nation of Jomanker3 Withdraws

Due to the pressure of freedom loving nations in support of Terristan, Jomanker3 has withdrawn its military support.

A statement was issued by the President of Silveryminnow"This is a great day in the annals of freedom, and brings us one step closer to the end of this conflict."

The Dictator of Jomanker3 was quoted as saying with the withdrawl of his forces.
The nation of jomanker3 is withdrawing from the incident, primarily to the complete lack of NOTICE THAT I JOINED. you dumbf---s wont even consider me. i mean, what the h----? that is messed up, paisan, essay, freund.

Obviously very bitter about their nations apparent unsuccessful attempts at a landgrab in Terristan.

bumpo

OOC: Bigmenistan - That number of ships could not launch nearly one thousand missiles in one volley.

The attack on your homeland was perfectly legitimate. You committed an act of war on the McLeodian Empire. Under the Imperial Defense Agreement, if one nation is attacked, the other two will aid.

OOC: The rules according to the sticky provided state you should never roleplay for another person.

Example: PlayerA: I land 5000 paratroopers on your nation.

PlayerB: My antiaircraft guns kill them all.

The main attention seems to be directed toward the storyline. Tempered with rationale concerning the real capabilities of conflicting nations. Each player should be willing to accept a reasonable amount of win or loss.

I also think Terristan is using the Ignore strategy. Theres also a sticky posted on that. Hope we don't lose anyone else. I think this is a really good RP.

PS: I don't think it's really necessary to get bent out of shape cuz you don't get a reply right away. I haven't got lots of replies, but I just find a way around that. :D

At the Regional Assembly of the Libertarian Paradise a statement was made today by the presiding Chair that addressed the petition from the Government of SilveryMinnow.

The Chair's prepared statement was as follows:

"As for the McLeod thing, I fear that getting involved would border on entangling alliances since LP is a distinctly non-interventionist region, though you will certainly have the support of the region if you go in."

The Delegate of SilveryMinnow replied:

"The Nation of SilveryMinnow thanks those nations who support our actions. SilveryMinnow will not become militarily involved (unless attacked,) but at the same time we will let those nations that oppose liberty and advocate tyranny, know that war is a horrible thing.

I also think Terristan is using the Ignore strategy. Theres also a sticky posted on that. Hope we don't lose anyone else. I think this is a really good RP.



thats because i can't be online much.

anyways, i haven't been attacked yet

OOC: 25% of what? National budget? GDP?

National budget

OOC: Bigmenistan - That number of ships could not launch nearly one thousand missiles in one volley.

The attack on your homeland was perfectly legitimate. You committed an act of war on the McLeodian Empire. Under the Imperial Defense Agreement, if one nation is attacked, the other two will aid.

I beg to differ. According to FAS.org- the Ticonderoga missile cruiser has 127 missile cells, the Iowa battleship had 32 cells, and the Arleigh Burke destroyer has 96 cells.

Now I have- 10 missile cruisers, 4 battleships, and 10 destroyers. The cruisers alone are capable of launching more than 957 missiles.

And if you can't post your losses, then I'm going to undo mine that were inflicted by your missile strike. Which means that the carrier is suddenly and miraculously *repaired*, and the battleships and destroyers that were sunk suddenly come up out of the water.

And I want this role-play to stick to this particular theatre. It would be a better RP that way (what with about 180,000 of my troops waiting for a UN invasion in Terristan)

OOC: 25% of what? National budget? GDP?

National budget

How much of your GDP is that?

OOC: 25% of what? National budget? GDP?

National budget

How much of your GDP is that?

6.1%

That is doable... but it is stretching it for a modernized economy.

Official Letters bearing the Seal of the Republic of SilveryMinnow are sent to all conflicting parties. When opened they read as follows:

[code:1:066415a482]Greetings,

December the 25th is a day that our nation has always recognized as one of peace. This day is now fast approaching and the Republic of SilveryMinnow would like to suggest that this day might be recognized as an opportunity to re-establish diplomatic efforts between the aggrieved nations.

The Republic of SilveryMinnow invites delegates from all the nations that have recieved this letter to a convention, to begin talks on how peace may again be achieved. The main issue to be a possible cease-fire between those nations in conflict, to be effective during the current holidays.

The Nation of SilveryMinnow requests RSVP.

Thank you,
Secretary of State,
Colin Pike.[/code:1:066415a482]

Just a bunch of words

So I can delete this message already.

Why won't this message delete?

How much has to be typed in order to get the little box reading "delete message?

I keep typing and typing but the box will not appear. When can I get the box to delete this message?

OOC: Yeah, I plan to reduce it to 15-20%, due to my large surplus

Total Fighting Men- 96,000

On top of that we have sent the following planes from our Airforce-

2 Airwings of B-52H Stratofortresses (162 planes)
2 Airwings of F-15C Eagles (160 planes)
1 Airwing of F-16C Falcons (80 planes)
1 Airwing of Su-27A Flankers (82 planes)

(1,221 planes total)

All of the above forces are ready and willing to assist you.

We have also set up about 15 PAC-3 SAM sites near your beaches. The PAC-3 is perhaps the best SAM system in the world. It gives absolutely no launch warning to the target plane, and it is extremely resistant to chaff and other countermeasures.

At your word our forces will also begin setting up barbed wire, mine fields, and cement bunkers to defend your beaches from amphibious landings.

OOC: Terristan- what's your climate and geography like?

Is it snowy? Desert? Jungle? Mountians? Hot? Cold?

I need to know which BDUs and camouflage I need to outfit my troops with (and also which color I need to paint my tanks and APCs)

OOC:Would like to take this opportunity to point out that McLeod03 military forces are stretched fairly thin. Currently his nation is involved in three different conflicts at this time.

Aboard the Dreadnaught Merrimac, Flagship of the SilveryMinnow Immediate reaction Forces, Admiral Tatnall was on duty at the Helm.

A Captain approaches and stands nearby. Admiral Tatnall requests a sitrep. "All is well," says the Captain.

Admiral Tatnall commands the Captain to take the helm, and alert him in his quarters if the situation changes.

"Aye Sir, Goodnight Sir," says the Captain.

OOC: Whoops, Commadores can't command BB's.

-deleted, double post-

-deleted, double post-

OOC: Terristan, where you at man? You gotta anwser my questions!

IC:

PAC-3 SAM sites, and various fighter jets patrol the skys of Terristan. The CAPs are being flown by F-15s, F-16s, and Su-27s. Radar operators are watching the skys 24/7 to defend against an air attack, as well as an airborne troop parachuete drop.

A look at the beach shows troops planting many AP and AT mines, as well as Claymores in the sand and around the area. These mines are being carefully marked onto maps, and their GPS coordinates are being marked off as well. Other troops are seen stretching barbed wire everywhere, while others are pouring cement to make bunkers, digging foxholes and trenches, etc.

Mortar cannons, tanks, artillery guns, machine gun nests, MLRS, mobile SAMs, and mobile radar systems are seen as they are manuvered into defensive areas on the beach.

All in all- the troops are preparing themselves for the inevitable amphibious landing that is to come.

bump. OOC: If everyone but me and Bigmenistan has left this thread, I'm declaring victory.

Who's side are you on again? (cause I forgot) :)

Rebeland shall construct an embassy, and put an embargo on your foe.

OOC:
Sorry about my silence things have been very hectic and i ahd to break to let things calm down.

IC:

In response to the desperate and openly agressive attempts being made by smugglers to pass contraband into the rogue nation of terristan and the constant ramping up of tensions in the region caused by the massive bigmenistani troop movements and despite the onset of winter weather (ooc: well i suppose what ever effect this will have will be decided by terristan's response in terms of climatic conditions.) the Crookfur Parliment has authorised the deployment of another task group to the region (my fleet is currently going reorganisation so bear with me for details).


Red tide:

radio transmission from the eva patrol boat about 45mins after the marines leave.

"We are sorry to inform you that due to worsening of local operational conditions we have had to deny your blockade transit request for your own safety, Our government pledges to reinburse you for any loses caused by this unfrotunate circumstance and as a sign of good will offer to purchase your cargo and provide fuel for the trip to the nearest UN approved port and from hence to your next destination".

ooc: ie you have been rumbled.

Radar Station-

"Sir!"

"Yes Sergeant?"

"Radar detects an incoming unmarked plane, flying at 25,000 feet and at 250 knots. It has officialy penetrated Terristani airspace. We weren't able to tell what kind of plane it is, but it looks like a large transport, perhaps a spy plane. From what we can tell it appears to be operating alone."

"Alright, I want F-15s up there to intercept immediately. Give them orders to peacefully escort the plane out of Terristani airspace. Tell the pilots not to fire unless they are fired upon."

"Yes Sir!"
====================================

3 F-15C Eagles suddenly thunder into the air, armed with AMRAAM missiles and Sidewinders. They fly towards the incoming plane. From a distance it appears to be an EP-3 spyplane.

Once they're there, they take up escort positions beside the plane, and slowly inch up so that the pilot can see them.

"This is Lt. Jack Stone calling the unmarked EP-3. Your plane has penetrated Terristani airspace. We will provide you with an escort out, over."

...............(nothing happened, the plane kept flying straight)

"This is Lt. Jack Stone, break off of your path immediately, over."

.................

"This is Lt. Jack Stone, if you don't break off then we will be forced to take hostile action, over."

.................
================================

Seeing as how there was no response, one of the Eagles dropped back about 15 miles behind the Ep-3. While one of the F-15s sped about 8 miles infront of the plane, while the last F-15 stayed on the EP-3's wing.

"This is Lt. Jack Stone, calling the crew of the EP-3. This is your last warning, break off or you will be destroyed, it's your call."

..................

After there was no response, the F-15 that was 15 miles back targeted the plane with its radar and AMRAAM missiles.

The F-15 that was about 8 miles infront suddenly turned around and flew right at the EP-3 at 500 knots. The 2 planes closed on each other, as it looked like there would be a mid air collision. However at the last second the EP-3 crew was intimidated and they dove at the last second, just as the F-15 screamed by mere feet above.

Apparently this tactic worked, and the EP-3 broke off. It was then escorted out of Terristani airspace, and the 3 F-15s returned to base.

OOC:
Well it ain't ours, we don't use the P-3 airframe at all (our maritime patrol aircraft being nimrods and some soviet stuff)
And our surveilance varients of the UE CSA tend not to go near enemy airspace much.

OOC:My nation is the Peacekeeper of this RP. Its goal is to resolve this conflict by diplomatic means.
A decisive victory would be the resolution by treaty between the parties and the recognition of Terristans sovereignty to resolve its own difficulties without foreign intervention.
A victory by default would be that all members of this RP ignore this thread, effectively ending the conflict.
This appears promising as McLeod03 the instigator of this thread has not posted in days. RP would dictate he has removed his fleet.

IC: A cargo ship has been detected moving slowly toward the blockade guarding a Terristan port.

Interception and visual surveillance shows it to be very dilapidated and painted with Flowers, Rainbows and Slogans. A banner that reads, "Conquerors out of Terristan," hangs across the lower part of the ships helm.

OOC: If McLeod fails to address this, I think that all Players can agree he has left the thread.

Today in the Republic of SilveryMinnow, an apprehensive nation awaits news of whether the McLeod blockade has been removed.

It seems right that peace should win the day on this most holy of days.

Seran is still active in this conflict, but we have decided to recall our air task force due to lack of action, but we still remain in a defensive position

The Cargo Ship moves between the space occupied by the blockading fleet.

OOC:
SilveryMinnow: your reply indicated that you required a direct reply from Mcloed3 but it might be a bit unreasonable to expect anything for the next few days due to the holidays and as such suggesting that your vessel is moving unchalleneged is a bit ungentlemanly.


as such allow me to make a reply (from my vastly more able patrol assets).

IC: as the obviously unseaworthy vessel (ooc: ;) ) approaches the blockade frontier it is hailed by a Crookfur patrol vesssel and requested to haul to.

Two hydrofoils move to intercept the SilveryMinnow vessel, guns loaded. No chances are being taken after the attack on the blockade.

The blockade has been reinforced to full strength, and strategic forces are being dispatched to Bigmenistan to bombard vital facilities there.


OOC: Sorry guys, been at funeral then on holiday. Anyway, merry christmas all.

As Warships converge on the Cargo ship's rusted hulk, they see that the deck is filled with tie-dye wearing protestors, who are chanting, "Free Terristan!"

The protestors are led by a partially bald, partially naked (except for cut off denim jeans), granny-glasses wearing white man in his mid-40's, with long blonde hair, who is speaking through an amplifier.

"EVERYBODY LAY DOWN ON DECK! IF THE AGGRESSOR PIGS WANT TO TAKE US OFF OUR SHIP, THE FREEDOM RAINBOW, THEY'LL HAVE TO CARRY US OFF BODILY!"

ALSO EVERYBODY WRAP YOUR URINE SOAKED RAGS AROUND YOUR FACE, IN CASE THEY USE TEAR GAS! FREE TERRISTAN! FREE TERRISTAN!

OOC: Sorry for your loss McLeod03.

The PFM demans that McLeod3 stops this senseless attack, or we will destroy one of his cities everyday until the blockade is lifted.

Two men wearing normal civilian clothing step off an aircraft inside McLeod3, carrying diplomatic papers and suitcases.

OOC:Errr, okay guys. This is kind of a closed RP. I had to get permission to join from Terristan and McLeod03, so unless you've done the same, you'll probably just be ignored.

OOC: It was a friends mum. Week before Christmas. Not nice.

IC:

The two hydrofoils close rapidly, crew lining the decks, armed with batons, and what look like large grenade launchers. As they pass the freighter, a volley of tear gas grenades soars onto the deck of the freighter, rolling into doorways, and smashing windows on the bridge.

"SilveryMinnow vessel, heave to immediately. You will be escorted back away from this area for your own safety."

Choking and gagging from the tear gas, the Longhaired Ponytailed aging Hippie shouts back through a bull horn!

"NO WAY, AGGRESSOR WAR-MONGERING PUPPETS OF A CORRUPT DICTATORSHIP! WE ARE PASSIVIST FREEDOM FIGHTERS COME TO LIBERATE TERRISTAN FROM YOUR CONQUEROR FORCES! WE WILL NOT BE STOPPED! BESIDES OUR RUDDERS BROKEN AND THE CAPTAIN O-D'ED AND NOBODY HERE KNOWS HOW TO STOP THIS THING."

"You will allow us to board. Our crew will stop the ship, and reverse course. We will also escort you to your home port if necessary."

One of the two hydrofoils closes in, and men can be seen wearing body armour, carrying large riot shields, as if in preparation for a boarding action.

The LongHaired Ponytailed half naked protestor shouts back!

"WE ARE PACIFISTS MAN! WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING TO STOP YOUR STORMTROOPERS FROM BOARDING, BUT THE STEERING IS GONE, AND THE SHIP IS SINKING! MAN! YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO DO SOMETHING FAST MAN! UNLESS YOU GET YOUR JOLLIES FROM WATCHING PEOPLE DROWN MAN!"

OOC:My Dennis Hopper impression. :)

OOC:
SilveryMinnow: your reply indicated that you required a direct reply from Mcloed3 but it might be a bit unreasonable to expect anything for the next few days due to the holidays and as such suggesting that your vessel is moving unchalleneged is a bit ungentlemanly.

IC: as the obviously unseaworthy vessel (ooc: ;) ) approaches the blockade frontier it is hailed by a Crookfur patrol vesssel and requested to haul to.

OOC:What kind of vessel, and are you coordinating with McLeod03? My reply see above posts. LOL (War is Hell.)

Terristan Beach, 1400 hours-

A look around the beach shows that these men are fully ready for an amphibious landing.

Many minefields have been placed, artillery and mortar cannons have been manuvered into position along with tanks, trenches and foxholes have been dug, large cement machine gun bunkers have been built, AAA and SAM launchers have been manuvered into position, snipers are on top of nearby ridges overlooking the area, etc.

The Colonel in charge of beach defense is overlooking the scene playing out between the Mcleod vessels, and the hippie boat with his binoculars.

*sarcastic voice*

".....They just fired tear gas at them.....unprovoked as well, what an atrocity! It seems these people have a problem with freedom of speach and expression......we simply must report this war crime to the nations of the world, so that they can condemn this blockade!"

OOC: Terristan- what's your climate and geography like?

Is it snowy? Desert? Jungle? Mountians? Hot? Cold?

I need to know which BDUs and camouflage I need to outfit my troops with (and also which color I need to paint my tanks and APCs)

OOC: sorry been away.

Our nation is a lot like Afghanistan, very barren and mountainous. It is an island around the size of Greenland. It is very close to Guerrillistan and the seas are very shallow and contain many reefs. The main port is called Ut Yara. Your HQ is stationed there.

(Narrative: In between coughs and gags the following exchange is heard:)

"The Pigs are gassing us Man," shouted the balding ringleader. "Everybody lie down on deck and go limp!"
One of the other protestors shouts back, "The ships sinking though, Man. Shouldn't we be going over to their ships?"
"No man!" shouts back the ringleader, "The Reich has to save us Man, in order to arrest us, so we have to protest our arrests with passive resistance."
Okay brother! Right on! Fight the power!

Independent polls in the city-states indicate that, while most Federation citizens have no problem with the protests, an overwhelming majority (89%) think that they protestors are incredibly stupid to exercise their rights on an unseaworthy ship in the middle of a conflict zone.

One citizen commented, "Voltaire had it right, ya know? But there are still consequences for just being stupid. Getting yourself killed to protest war is rather self-defeating, isn't it?"

The balding Ringleader shouts over the Bullhorn, "We the Democratic members of the THT (OOC:explaination-The Human Targets.) "Denounce the brutal authoritarian tactics being employed by the nations of McLeod03 and Crookfur, against our rights to freely visit the nation of Terristan."

Diplomatic level message
From: Crookfur Naval Command
To: SilveryMinnow maritime administration (or what ever your equivelent would be)

Dear Sirs,
In light of the current situation in the region of the UN blockade we have some concerns over the level of control you exercise over obviously unseaworthy vessel. While we fully respect your desire to allow your citizens to express themselves as they see fit we also remind you that as a nation you have a moral and ethical requirement to protect both your citizens and the enviroment as a whole by preventing such inadequate ships to ever leave port. We appologise for having to send this missive but felt it nessicary to make note of our concerns.
Also you may find yourself with a bill for services rendered in rescueing, treating and repartiating your citizens.

OOC: of course that ship would never have left a Crookfur port, it would have sunk on leaving as the seas around Crookfur are a little bit nasty.

IC:

The Eva patrol boat noses in closer, ready to provide assistance and above the air is split by the whine of a Roc rotodyne as it struggles to hold postion against the stiffening winds.

The load hailer on board the Eva barks to life:
" Protestors! Dispite your obvious level of sheer stupidity we are currently doing all we can to preserve your lives. If you stand down we will transfer egineering and navigation teams who will endevor to keep your vessel afloat until we can get it to the safety of a Float on float off transport. Any attempt to hinder our efforts or refusal to cooperate will be considered an act of murder against each individual onboard your vessel and as such you will be consigned to the brig on the event of your rescue.

OOC: Mcloed3: your boarding parties will be of help, a FLo-flo vessel is on it's way and if your teams aid the Crookfur teams we should be able to keep the vessel afloat for long enough to get it docked.
SilveryMinnow: the vessel involved is an Eva class patrol ship, a deep water goast gaurd style vessel basically a cross between the british river class and the US Deepwater program.

Sir, or Madam,
The Martime Agency of SilveryMinnow was unaware of any Ships connected with this Republic being in the vicinity of this blockade. If the people you have taken custody of are in fact citizens, of SilveryMinnow, the proper channels will be notified and arrangements made for the safe return of our citizens.

Thank you,
Phisher Mann
Deputy Director Maritime Agency
Republic of SilveryMinnow.

The Ringleader shouts back through a bullhorn at the Crookfur vessel:

We're not standing down Man! We're lying down! In protest of your blockade impeding the free peoples of the world from travelling where they have the right to go! We are all children of Mother Earth Man! We don't recognize your fences Man! We are peaceful citizens exercising our rights of humanity. We won't stop you from boarding but we will not go without protest. Man! We're not stupid, you're all HERBERTS Man!

2 RIBs (rigid inflatable boats) zip away from the eva carrying teams of naval personel to the rust bucket while under the surface a small team of diver/engineers and a remotly piloted submersable conduct a survey of the underside of the vessel and start repairing the rudder.

The RIBs quickly reach the rust bucket and the boarding teams quickly swarm over the side, thier S12 micro rifles, S6 submachine guns and the odd shotgun swing to and fro covering the cowering idiots as they make thier way to thier postions

<Inside McLeod03>

The two men leave their hotel room carrying large bags. They go down the stairs and cross the lobby of the hotel.

Once they reach the front of the hotel, one heads for a large shopping centre, the other heads for a stadium nearby.

Narrative: As the Crookfur and McLeod Forces climb aboard the Protestors ship. The Hippies lay down and lock arms wherever physical contact with each other is possible. They begin to sing a protest song as the boarding partys begin to break up the demonstration.

...(Don't pull on that it hurts!)...
It'll live, not die
It'll live, not die
I'll stand in the middle of it all one day,
I'll look at it all shining all around me and say
...(BlOODY PEASANT!)...
I'm here!
I'm here!
...(Theres some lovely filth here Dennis,)...
In Terristan
In the good land,
I'm here!
...(Oh, what a give-away. Did you hear that? Did you hear that, eh? That's what I'm on about. Did you see him repressing me? You saw it, didn't you?)...


OOC:Crookfurs divers must be swimming really fast (5 kts.) because no ones stopped the engines yet. (As the diving teams jump overboard they are immediately left behind and eyed by hungry sharks.)

bump

OOC: well i forgot that but lets say they are hanging onto the submersable or have those james bond style personal propulsion units (quite like considering they need a fair bit of gear to fix a rudder) ;)
oh and nice monty python refferences
No clubs with my teams just Rifles, SMGs and shotguns loaded with non lethal rounds and we have a long history of not breaking people up (look up the "the Free Ulster Nation" stuff and see just how restrained Crookfur troops can be).


IC:

Keeping a wary eye on the idiots the navigation and engineering teams make thier way to the bridge and below decks, finally bringing the vessel to a stop (with much tuting and cursing about the rather obvious lack of any coms equipment bar a basic radio) and rigging up a bailing pump system to keep the vessel afloat.

In the distance the massive form of a Flo-Flo transport emerges from the rain (OOC: feel my god like control of weather ;) )

The Divers discover corrosion has compromised the integrity of a hull plate. It can be repaired, but will take time to weld a patch into place, assuming that the tensile strength of the supports will hold the patch.

The Hippies having had their hands tied behind their backs with delrin strips, are kneeling on the main deck, and singing, "All we are saying is give peace a chance."

Setting:In the quarters of the recently deceased Captain of "Freedoms Rainbow," a single protestor and a Crookfur Officer sit across from each other at his desk. Two Crookfur naval service men stand in attendance of the interrogation.

Crookfur Officer: We have reason to believe you people are citizens of the nation SilveryMinnow. Is this a fact?

Protestor: We are all free citizens of Mother Earth man!

Crookfur Officer: You do realize that there has been identification of some of your party's members as citizens of the Republic of SilveryMinnow?

Protestor: Former citizens Man! We now swear no allegiance to any nation except that of citizens for one World of Peace. (cont)

The interrogation is interrupted by events.

Scene- underground command bunker located on the beaches of Terristan.-

4 Generals and 2 Admirals are looking down at a table where sat. photos of Mcleod03's blockade are being looked over.

"Mcleod03 is currently involved in a couple of other wars, their forces are stretched, and more and more vessels are getting through the blockade. It looks like they are beginning to withdraw ships from the area."

"Yes, I notice this. It appears that they are very inactive in the area/RP. I believe now is the time to begin a major Naval offensive. If we time it right, and hit the right area then we may be able to break the blockade for good."

"Yes, our boys are growing tired of sitting on the beach waiting for an invasion that hasn't come yet, they're even more bored at watching the doings of the Crookfur vessels."

"Admiral- our 1st fleet is in the area, what about the 3rd fleet?"

"They have arrived on scene as well, we have begun the process of linking the 2 fleets up, we are ready to begin the offensive."

"Good, I want you to order your ships to begin firing their missiles and guns. Launch your strike planes, and our beach forces shall begin opening fire with artillery. Our boys are just itching for a fight, maybe this will finally get them to land."
===============================================
4- Nimitz carriers
30- Alreigh-Burke destroyers
20- Spruance destroyers
12- Iowa battleships
16- Longbeach cruisers
32- Ticonderoga cruisers
20- Los Angeles subs
33- Pegasus patrol craft
60- various supply and support vessels

are all seen linking together way out in international waters.

Suddenly about 80 F/A-18 hornets take off from the deck of the 4 carriers. Moments later about 2,000 cruise missiles are launched from the fleet. 160 Harpoon missiles are also fired at the Mcleod03 blockade.

Targets include destroyers, battleships, carriers, frigates, cruisers, hydrofoils, etc. Artillery guns from the beach also open up on the blockade.

A major Naval offensive has begun on the inactive Mcleod03 fleet.

Terristani commanders cooperating with those from Bigmenistan have decided to engage the inactive blockade. Long range artillery has begun firing at the larger capital ships while half the Terristani navy has mobilised. This includes:

2 Kirov carriers (39 sea MiG29)
4 Hudant battleships
19 Fristov cruisers
37 Gannet destroyers

The Terristani air force will also engage on action on the illegal blockade.
49 BEAR bombers from BC will launch cruise missiles in conjunction with fighter aircraft (60 MiG29, 40 Su-27) escorting.

Ground launched cruise missiles from mobile batteries are also being launched at the enemy fleet. AAA and SAM systems are on full alert. Military patrols are doubled.

The attack on the enemy blockade will continue until the enemy disengages.

Due to this declaration of war, seran is mobilising her air force to engag the Terristani attack force, expect to recive fleet in 2 days.

do you realise this occuring in my region, your small force will have no chance.

Narrative:A Crookfur officer interrogates a Peace Protestor from the Republic of SilveryMinnow. A sailor knocks on the door, enters and snaps to attention.

Crookfur Officer: What the Devil! This is a closed interrogation Sailor!

Sailor: Sir! Important missive for you sir, orders from fleet Admiralty.

The Crookfur officer motions to the two guards in the room. "Secure the prisoner."

The Hippie is drug off screaming. "THIS IS WHAT YOU WANTED WARMONGERS! NOW ITS HAPPENING! HOW DO YOU JUSTIFY WHAT YOU ARE DOING TO THE PEOPLE WHO WILL SOON BE DEAD, JUST TO FILL YOUR KINGS POCKETS WITH MONEY?

"Sir, incoming missiles. Looks like a major assault has begun."

"All ships to Red Alert. Scramble all alert fighters, launch commit all SAMs. Contact MAFCC, tell them to send immediate airborne reinforcements. Contact Admiralty, order in all remaining naval assets." barked the Admiral.


SAMs tear from the decks of the fleet, well over 1500 launched in the first barrage, downing all the Harpoons and half the incoming cruise missiles.

35 AF-100s, seriously outnumbered, launch a total of 140 MAULRAAM BVR missiles at the incoming Bear bombers and their escorts.

As the enemy fleet approaches, the attack submarines surface, launching nearly 800 Wolverine cruise missiles at the Bigmenistani fleet, before diving again and loading tubes of super-cavitating torpedos.

The fleet is overwhelmed with missiles, and many ships are lost. Helicopters hurry to reach any survivors, but the estimated death toll is high in the thousands.

Reinforcements are dispatched, consisting of another two full CBGs, six CPGs, and four SPGs. Airborne assets scramble in an attempt to annihilate the Bigmenistani vessels. A total of 75 EB-1C Lancer 2 bombers scramble, carrying 10 Wolverines each. They are escorted by 12 AL-52s, and 140 AF-100s.

Ground based ICCM batteries open fire, launching well over 2000 Wolverines at the Terristani fleet. The King makes a public address, and people flock in their thousands to recruitment offices to help fight against the terrorist scum.

May we be of help? I just noticed this war.

Seeing as how they are trying to turn my surface fleet into submarines, i'd go with a "HELL YEAH" to that offer.

The BEAR bombers on the return flight recieve warnings of being fired upon, all 60 of the MiGs move off to attack the attacking fighters while the Su27s stay with the BEARS. Releasing chaffs and countermeasures work for some missiles but still 14 bombers are downed. Several of the giant beasts explode in the air while several more slowly lose altitude and ditch in the sea.

The MiGs break into 4 attack groups to attack the AF-100s.

closed rp isn't it?

The Terristani fleet, still only kilometres from the port of Ut Yara recieve a certain degree of protection but still numerous cruise missiles impact on the ships. The scene is utter devastation, ships are sinking and explosions are going off. The air is thick with black smoke. Damage reports are yet to come in but it is clear that thousands of lives have been lost, many trapped in hulls.

Setting:Presidential Office, in the Republic of SilveryMinnow.

Narrative: Having just recieved the report of the Naval battle occuring in Terristan. The President holds an emergency meeting with his cabinent. Included in the meeting is the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

The President holds up a copy of the report, "We have failed in bringing about a peaceful resolution to this conflict. What options do we have now?"

The Secretary of State answers, "Sir, there is always hope, but since we are really not sure of the intentions of the invading nations, the military forces should probably be put on Alert."
The President looks to the Joint Chiefs who pick up the phones in front of them and order a Level I emergency alert."
President Strangelove continues; Let us start by reviewing the edict of the
McLeod03 blockade to better familiarize ourselves with how this conflict began."
Following the attacks on another sovereign state, and on the UN, McLeodian forces have put a full blockade on the Armed Dictatorship of Terristan.

Terristani officals have claimed full responsibility for the deaths of 172+ UN officals, aid workers, and civilians. Yet they show no remorse, and publicly admit to supporting terrorism, and allow terrorist groups to operate freely from within their country.

Other nations who wish to end the reign of terror this country promotes include the Kingdom of Crookfur, the United Freedom Forces of Euroslavia, the Armed Republic of Clan McLewis, and the Democratic Republic of Clan McCrimmon.

Many nations have pledged support for the terrorists, including (secretly) the Dominion of Red Tide, the Armed Republic of Bigmenistan, and(publicly) the Armed Republic of Guerrillistan.

"The action that McLeod03 was referring to in written on the second page of your report."
GNTV news report.

*Guerrillistan, the former ally of Terristan but now a UN member has been struck by several terrorist attacks. Terristan has claimed full responsibilty.

UN humanitarian and aid facilities have been targeted and preliminary casualty rates look at 172+, the vast majority seem to be UN members and families.

Suicide bombers and gunman have also gone on the rampage throughout the town of Yilla where there are many internationals of the UN.
Homes of UN members have been attacked, wives and families killed.

Reports state that the terrorists were determined not to hurt any natives of Guerrillistan, but were "aimed at the UN"*

"Terristan did not state whether it was taking responsibility for the attacks, or taking responsibility for terrorist actions that occurred by the citizens of its country. The belief that humans are Inherently good that our constitution is based upon, dictates that Terristan was offering to aid Guerillastan as compensation for the attacks that Nation suffered." This is supported by Guerillistan's reply.

Guerrillistan supports the action taken against the UN.

GLA members are planning the removal of all UN from the country.

Bloody or non-bloody, it will happen.

"That in fact the attacks by Terristan cells were encouraged by Guerillistan
To take action." Terristan is in fact not the nation that invoked these attacks. This is the case of a sovereign rights, something which SilveryMinnow who first had to fend off aggressive foreign intervention in order to be recognized as a nation strongly supports."

Abvout 600 of the cruise missiles are destroyed as they come in by Phalanx guns, SAMs, and F-35C JSFs on patrol. However about 200 missiles find their targets.

1 carrier is seriously damaged
6 Arleigh Burkes are sunk
3 Spruances are sunk
10 Ticonderogas are sunk
1 Iowa is sunk
8 Cargo vessels are sunk

160 F-15C Eagles, 40 F-35C JSFs, 40 Su-33 Flankers scream towards the incoming bombers and they engage with AMRAAM missiles.

About 720 AMRAAM missiles are launched, half are fired at the incoming bombers, the other half at the fighter escorts. The bombers are about 70 miles out, and the interceptors are about 25 miles away from them.

Los Angeles subs take aim at more Mcleod03 vessels and they fire their torpedos. About 80 torpedos are fired at the blockade.

Surface vessels fire another barrage of about 1,000 cruise missiles at the Mcleod03 ships. Battleships continue to fire with thier big guns, and beach artillery positions begin to fire at the Mcleod03 fleet.

As the AMRAAMs scream in, the turrets on the AL-52s swing into position and fire, decimating the incoming missiles with short laser bursts. The sophisticated targetting systems ensure that every single missile is destroyed.

With the missiles destroyed, the ABL craft target the incoming fighters with their 2 MW lasers, each easily powerful enough to cause wings to come off, cockpits to melt, or fuel tanks to explode. Each incoming Bigmenistani fighter is fired at twice.

The bombers, now in range, open fire, launching 750 Wolverines at the Bigmenistani fleet, and a further 300 MAMRAAMs at the incoming fighters.

The AF-100s break, firing 4 MAULRAAMs at the incoming fighters, before rapidly accelerating and closing the distance at a superbly fast speed.

The fleet once again fired volleys of SAMs into the incoming cruise missiles, and the CIWS ensure that only a few make it through, decimating the last of the patrol boats, and sinking three frigates.

With the missile threat down, the fleet also open fire, the battleships and cruisers pounding beach artillery positions with deadly accurate large caliber gunfire, as a further 800 cruise missiles tear towards the incoming Bigmenistani fleet.

Despite liberal use of torpedo nets and counter measures, one carrier is heavily damaged, and another Aviation cruiser slips below the waves. Further more, two Arleigh Burkes and 4 Type 22s are also lost.

The submarines get into range of their torpedos, firing volleys of super-cavitating semi-seeking torpedos at the enemy sub fleet, a total of 180 torpedos travelling at well over 450 knots tear into the Bigmenistani Los Angeles submarines.

Land based ICCM sites fire again, launching another 1500 misisles at the Terristani fleet. The naval forces also retaliate, firing a volley of 960 Wolverines at the Bigmenistani fleet.

OOC: Terristan - SilveryMinnow appeared from nowhere, and seeing as how Nanakaland is an ally, i can't see why he shouldn't join.

Submarines of the Clan McLewis launch a volley of 48 cruise missiles against known military structures inside Bigmenistan, before slipping back beneath the waves, and turning to reinforce their McLeodian brothers in the naval battle.

I got permission from both McLeod03 AND Terristan, I don't think Terristan agrees.

Besides I haven't taken any side, I'm playing peacekeeper. (unless attacked.)

OOC: please lets try to keep this manageable, you are escalting in my opinion into fantasy territory, missile launches with so many numbers make this unrealistic. i could just start making up even more numbers but i will not as i want to enjoy this rp and not worry about weapon stats and numbers. If i feel this gets out of hand i will simply leave this rp. sorry but this is how i feel.

you also wrote "With the missiles destroyed, the ABL craft target the incoming fighters with their 2 MW lasers, each easily powerful enough to cause wings to come off, cockpits to melt, or fuel tanks to explode. Each incoming Bigmenistani fighter is fired at twice." the laws of Thermal Equilibrium would dictate that a laser with that level of heat emissions would cause your planes to burst into flames with their current structure.

also what are AL-52s?
