Today marks a tragically low point in the history of the Dictatorship of Tannhauser. Early yesterday morning, the ruling body decreed that all non-citizens living in the nation of Tannhauser were to undergo citizenship and denounce citizenship with any other nation. Those who did not follow the demands of Comrade Tannhauser would be punished "accordingly". As of this morning, 70% of the non-citizens have become citizens of Tannhauser. A twisted fate was left to those proud 30% who resisted the totalitarian ruler Comrade Tannhauser.

Initially, the remaining 40,000 non-citizens were kidnapped from their homes and taken to holding camps. Early this morning, the resisters were taken to the nation's capitol, Tannhauser Gate. Here, the non citizens were beaten, tortured, forced into blood sports, and executed, all on live television. All the while Comrade Tannhauser dictated all the days events. Many hours later, after all were dead, the bodies were buried in mass graves or burnt in the nation's massive industrial furnaces.

Comrade Tannhauser knowingly massacered and butchered the citizens of nations all across the globe.

Comrade Tannhauser must be stopped. Overthrow Comrade Tannhauser!

-The Liberation Party of the Nation of Tannhauser

Having lost 147 citizens in this brutal massacre, the People's Republic of Samtonia issues an embago on the vile dictatorship of Tannhauser and calls for its leader to step down immediately. Should he not do this and should the government of Tannhauser not apoligize and repay our nation for the lives that were lost, the peaceful people of Samtonia may be forced to step in militarily.
President Samuel Irwin of the PRS

It clear that the grand, glorious, and growing nation of Tannhauser needs a new policy on immigration. As of today, Tannhauser's border are closed to all immigrants who do not denounce all citizenships to others countries. Furthermore, said immigrant must swear allegiance to Comrade Tannhauser and no one else.

As most nations have heard about the events that occured recently, Comrade Tannhauser assures all others that the worthless, traitorous scum that were eliminated yesterday had the choice to leave or die. They chose, so we acted.

Also, as par the demands of Samtonia, let it be known that Comrade Tannhauser has no plan os leaving his position as the ruler of Tannhauser. We feel that justice was served. Let it again be noted that the scum had a choice; Go home or die. The choice they made reflects the harsh life they had in their home nation, and how they would rather die than return.

- Randolph von Kerm, assisant Comrade of Foreign Affairs

Clearly the dictatorship of Tannhauser is a militaristic opressor. Therefore, the People's Republic of Samtonia, along with hetr numerous allies from The NNA alliance are preparing a military invasion to stop this evil leader. This is our ultimatum. We will stand down only if the nation of Tannhauser publicly apoligizes and repays us for the lives that were lost.

W00T! LET'S NUKE THIS FOOL! O_o

Bring forth your petty armed forces. Comrade Tannhauser's elite shock troops have no fear. As we speak, the entire male body of the nation of Tannhauser is training day and night to take up arms and defend our mighty nation from those who would rape our land. More than half of our population is ready and willing to die for our mother land if the call is to be answered.

- General Mishovin, Comrade of Warfare


Comrade Tannhauser has ordered all prisons, orphanages, and slave warrens to be emptied. The fate of these thousands of people is bleak; To act as a human shield against invading forces. Bundles will be placed inside key targets and the rest are doomed to act as bullet sponges for the military. This certainly is a new low in modern warfare, and will make it difficult to take any military action without the taking of innocent lives.

-International News

THe People's Republic of Samtonia decries the use of innocents as human shields. However, we are willing to stand down and avert this conflict if the government of Tannhauser apologizes publicly for killing our citizens and gives us a monetary repayment. However, if this request is denied, Th government of Samtonia will be forced to appeal to the UN for aid in destroying the government of your country- But remember, conflict can be avoided by a simple apology.

Bring forth your petty armed forces.

As a member of the NNA (the largest one at that), I don't think you will find my military so petty.....

This flagrent abuse of inocent life by the Tannhauser government will not be tolerated by the Commonwealth of Seversky.

As of this instant a state of war exists between Tannhauser and The Commonwealth of Seversky.


-Chancellor James Lynch, Commonwealth of Seversky.


The CNS Cadence to Arms and CNS Road of the Righteous CVNCBGs shall be arriveing on station to begin air opperations against Tannhauser within 5 rl minutes, followed by the CNS Brixtion and CNS Fairfield CVNCBGs within the next 2 hours.

However, Falastur does not commit its military with a click of a finger. Your country can escape conflict by making a formal apology, including a reparation sum or equivalent for their loss, to the world, and by halting immediately your savage acts of human shielding and massive over-conscription.

This flagrent abuse of inocent life by the Tannhauser government will not be tolerated by the Commonwealth of Seversky.

OOC On another note, I've gotta go now, I'll check this tomorrow...

The government of Hudecia, as an ally of Samtonia, is prepared to go to war with Tannhauser if they do not agree with the terms outlined by Samtonia. We are mobilizing our armed forces and will send:

5000 Combat Soldiers
12 M1A2 Abrams
6 Ka 64 (helicopter gunships)

As well, 2 of our MiG-25-SDW reconnaisance planes are flying reconnaisance missions over Tannhauser.

-Chancellor James Lynch, Commonwealth of Seversky.

The Princess' guardian, Richard, was called a "Coward and an Anti-Patriot" by all Neo Tyrin news sources to stay away from the conflict, even at the loss of 14 citizens lives. Hundred's citizens are protesting in Kyrall to mobilize the Airforce against the Tannhauser regime...

The government of Hudecia thanks Seversky for showing great patience in the face of such flagrant abuses of human rights. The use of human shields is greatly troubling for us since any major air campaign would cause great amouts of collateral damage.

However, be sure, the nations of the NNA are willing to act in co-operation with you to stop this tragedy if the government of Tannhauser refuses to desist.

President Tablus Hclav

NEWS FLASH

Hudecian reconnaisance planes have confirmed that human shields are surrounding key military and industrial infrastructure targets. Apparently hundreds of these human shields are being herded by the armed forces of Tannhauser.

In an unusually angry responce by the cabinet, the government of Cratership has pledged its allegiance to the forming alliance against Tannhauser, and demands that Tannhauser gives a formal apology and a 1000000 rock [or your preferred currency in an amount equal to 1000000 rocks] reinbursement to all those whose family members died in the massacre inside Tannhauser's borders. That totals to about 1000 formal apologies and 1000000000 rocks. If Tannhauser does not act upon the demands within 12 hourse, Cratership will be forced to respond with an assault.

While this message was being delivered to the Tannhauser government, the Cratership Air Force flew high over many of Tannhauser's military bases and released many small canisters, which released a knockout gas upon contact with the ground, under the impression that these safe, nontoxic, gas canisters should safely remove all resistance from the Tannhauser military for the next 48 hours.

I'm issuing a Commerce Act on Tannhauser stating that:

1.A sea,air,and land blockade with be placed on Tannhauser.
2.All goods and supplies must go through the blockades where the goods will be taxed 20% of the original price then sold the Tannhauser,this will continue until the governments offended by your attroticus act feel that you have payed your debt to their country.
3.Should you try to attack and of the blockades you're forces will be met with full force and the eventuall destruction of your government and you.

Any one who agree's on the Commerce Act,please say "I".

It is felt in the Commonwealth that the blockade should go further: NO commerse should be allowed into Tannhauser, and the 4 on station CVNCBGs have been alerted to this goal and have every intention of enforceing it.

-Admiral Zack Rothman, CSN.

In yet another unusual twist, the nation of Tannahuser is televising all the tactics it will be using to defend itself. Of the most notable will be "living bombs". The living bomb is similar to a suicide bombing, with the exception that the bomb is controlled via remote, and the carrier does not always know of it's presense due to size. The most remarkable feature is that the bomb device can be surgically installed inside a medium sized animal, such as a dog or pig. The procedure is fairly simple and the animal has a 95% survival rate. It will not be uncommon for children to be fitted with the device, then sent to Alliance base camps as refugees. The nation of Tannhauser also favors many variations of land mines, from anti-infantry to anti-tank.

Despite it's cruel and oppressive government, many of citizens are zealot-like and would do anything to see Tannhauser survive. Apart from its defense structure, it will not be uncommon for many terrorist actions to take place against those who would campaign against Tannhauser's tyranny.

At home, every able bodied citizen is being armed. Children as young as 1o years old will be sent to the front, as well as females.

It is clear that the nation of Tannhauser has accepted that war inevitable.

The government of Hudecia agrees with Seversky. We cannot allow any goods that can be used as weapons (thats pretty well any type of good) to enter the country.

However, foodstuffs should be the only type allowed to enter the country to prevent a humanitarian disaster. Tax on this should be as stated.

In responce to the latest out rage out of Tannhauser, the Commonwealth Ministry of War has decided to for a bloody campain.

The CSN has activated every carrier battle group (all 19) and has ordered them on station.

From the 4 carriers on station, air strikes have begun being flown against communications targets and AAA and SAM sites; while CSAF EC-130's have begun broadcasting proproganda against the Tannhauser government on all frequencies and all mediums, in an effort to sway the citizens from their support of their government.

CSN command has authorised a "Sink on sight" policy for all freighters enfringeing on a recently declared 1000 mile excluseion zone arround the nation of Tannhauser.

-Severskian MoW

In response to the actions carried out by Tannhauser, the Defense Minister has authorized the deployment of the First Carrier Battle Group. These actions are being taken to assist Seversky in upholding the exclusion zone and in support of necessary attacks on Tannhauser. In addition we are deploying the Gorokistani Rapid Expeditionary Force to work in support of any land engagement sthat occur.

Defense Minister
The Rogue Nation of Gorokistan

The government of Hudecia is deploying its Carrier Fleet to help the Gorokistan and Seversky governments enforce the blockade. As well, its troops are being deployed as well to the region in preparation for the conflict.

A shaky, pale of face of General John "Fingers" Gendon appears on a mass radio broadcast.

"Please, don't attack this nation! Our national leader, Tarenteor, was one of the immigrants in the nation at the time of the order. However, we have information that he is still alive. Perhaps be slipped away after one of these "blood sports". We need help finding him!"

The broadcast flickers a second, and snaps off.




Far off, in a dark city doorstep, Tarenteor lifts himself up, after a short rest. He looked nervously upwards, at his mad green, spiked hair. He knew it would attract attention, especially in a place like this. Looking around, he spots a nice, dark, bar. He would fit in, if not thrive, there. Pushing the doors open, he strode in, before everyone went quiet. Uh oh...

Alert
The First Carrier Battle Group intercepted and sank a freighter, flying the flag of The Armed Republic of Galian, that entered into the exclusion zone and ignored numerous attempts to contact it. We regret these actions since that nation is an ally of Gorokistan, but this should demonstrate our resolve in this blockade, and solidarity with the nations involved. Action was justified under the Commerce Act on Tannhauser.

The Gorokistani government would like to notify Jangle Jangle Ridge that 500 Gorokistani Special Force Operators are currently on the ground in Tannhauser, assisted by 1000 Special Protectorate forces, in the search for their leader. We hope that intelligence officers will make contact with him shortly. Our REF, located in the region, is on its highest tactical alert to assist as well. Intelligence, currently through aerial recon, shows that after the encounter in the bar Tarenteor escaped and is currently moving through the city and evading detection. We will keep you updated on any developments.

It has been reported to us that Gorokistani Intelligence made contact with Tarenteor. Shortly after this contact was made the first elements of the Gorokistani Special Forces arrived on the scene and took custody of your leader. A tight circle of security was established and maintained around him as the outer perimeter was established by the Special Protectorate Forces. They engaged small bands of unknown Tannhauser citizens and the perimeter has been maintained. At the time of this comunique the extraction vehicles were in bound from the Battle Group currently offshore. Since he was located in a seaside town his extraction is expected to occur shortly. You will be notified of this when it occurs.

Defense Minister
The Rogue Nation of Gorokistan

It is with great pride that I announce the safe extraction of your leader. Currently, he is being examined onboard the GSS Monroe as he was slightly injured during a skirmish. Our forces will be awaiting your nation to take custody of him. Losses for the opposing forces are unknown, but we did lose five men in the operation during a mortar attack lauched shortly after our ships landed for the extraction. As a result we are more firmly entrenched than ever to see the justice served to the innocents who were brutally slaughtered by this regime. The Supreme Leader of Gorokistan will be speaking on this issue shortly.

The Second Carrier Battle Group has set sail for the region to bolster the forces of Gorokistan, Seversky, and Hudecia. In addition, we are mobilizing the First, Second, Third, and Forth Armies of the Gorokistani Armed Forces and a Corp of the Armored Cavalry equiped with Razor Heavy Battle Tanks (450,00 total) along with accompanying service personnel. We will not let the attacks on your leader go unpunished and hope you will join the cause.

Defense Minister

Tarenteor grimaces as his arm is stitched up by a militarial nurse, black blood dripping down his arm and hissing as it hits the deck. You see, Tarenteor is of the demonic strain. It's not like he's alone, almost half of JJR's residents are composed of dragons, sirens, demons, etc. It's probaly half the reason he even survived, along with his years of training to be an assassin. He's not much of a politician, if you haven't noticed.

He looks sideways at the nurse.
"So, when are we going to get back? I got a nation to run, you know..."

Tarenteor turns, grinning, as a humming noise gradually fills the air, and a huge ship, floating OVER the water, moves towards them. Once close enough, a ladder drops down, and Taren hops on, to be hoisted into the bridge.

"Ok then, take off all weapons locks, and ready ALL of our orbital weaponry. Scramble the jets, warships, Terracostes, tanks, everything. We are going to WAR!"

Taren slams his fist down on a button, and a modified SS-18, carrying 5 10MT nuclear warheads (yes, that's what normal SS-18 ICBM's carry, and my is modified with heavier shielding, higher speed, bigger loadout). It speeds towards the capital city of Tannhauser, ready to annihilate it.

The Most Serene Republic of Nonchalia, as a member of the NNA, supports the blockade on the rogue nation.
We regret that our only carrier is currently in drydock, but we will send several ASW ships to aid in stopping submarine attempts to bypass the blockade, as well as a hundred combat engineers skilled in bomb detection and disposal.

edit: we have just been informed that nuclear missiles are en route to the capital of Tannhauser.
We condemn the use of weapons of mass destruction in this conflict, and request that Jangle Jangle Ridge reconsider its decision.

OOC: How do you expect me to call off a 50 MT warhead. Cut off the fuel and drop it in the ocean and HOPE I get it before it starts leaking or someone steals it? Anyway, It doesn't fit my nation.

IC:

Tarenteor flicks on an intercom.

"Order all of our dropships to come in. Send out the Heavy Techarmor Troops, squad 23."


A dropship redirects course, on a routine wargame mission, and pulls up alongside Tarenteor's ship within 30 minutes. As they near a cost, Taren sends out a huge missile inot the air, which detonates into a huge cloud of chaff and thermal-masking smoke.

OOC: so you know, I'm not stopping. I just ordered guys that are like Warhammer 40k Terminators to go bust up the place.

I'm out. This just turned stupid.

Nonchalia withdraws.
The use of weapons of mass destruction in order to stop a nation from killing innocents is ridiculous.

The use of weapons of mass destruction in order to stop a nation from killing innocents is ridiculous.

Under the recent circumstances, Falastur urges all NNA to refrain from sending troops into the nation of Tannhauser. The blast zone should just have avoided the coast, but it advised that any anti-radiation suits be prepared by members of your military who are involved in the blockade. The few Falasturian ships on the blockade are moving in quickly to evacuate fleeing citizens. Due to Tannhauser's most recent announcement, we will metal-detect every citizen before they are allowed to proceed onto our ships.

Seeing that JJR seems to have events under control we are withdrawing the First Carrier Battle Group and the REF and pulling the Second Carrier Battle Group to the border of the Exclusion Zone to avoid the effects of JJR's actions.

Defense Minister

The People's Republic of Samtonia decries the use of nuclear weapons. As such, we are authorized to inform all NNA members that no troops are to be sent to Tannhauser. We support the policy of Falastur and make it the official NNA policy regarding Tannhauser.

A ship based laser, after the missile was detected by radars based on several ships, "Attacked" the missile and downed it, preventing a nuclear catastrophy.

Jangle Jangle Ridge will be advised that if he tries anything like that again, he will find Severskian nuclear missiles raining down on him.

-Severskian MoW

Gorokistan has been attacked and it is believed that our Supreme Leader is dead. The First Carrier Battle Group has been order to High Tactical Alert and the Second Carrier Battle Group is returning to the region. The timing is too coincidental in relation to the actions taken against Tannhauser and if they are found to be responsible for the missle attack they will be punished severely.

OOC: That's the fact. Tarenteor is pissed, he blows something up. Someone annoys him, and heads roll.

Uum, NO actually, a 50 megaton uranium bomb would have detonated in the air and sent flaming, radioactive bits of waste into the oceans and throughout the world because of the fallout, effectively killing thousands of animals all over the world and leading the human race closer to extinction. SHEESH, get it right. And besides, if that nuke had hit, it would have killed thousands of peaceful bunnies and led to even greater fallout. BUNNIES!!!! And who launched the missile? Oh wait, it was you. :x LOOK WHO'S TALKING YOU CONDASCENDING HYPOCRITICAL SON OF A.... oh, heh heh, we're supposed to posting on a family forum. That is all I have to say... for now.

Please people no violence!

Let us agree on the proposed Commerce Act.

Does that mean I get money?

...And 50 MT of uranium falls into the see, and all the wildlife dies, and YOU have to pay for it. You people are just stupid.

None of my citizens were harmed.My Elite Navy S.E.A.L. force managed to rescue all 100 citizens that where in the country and managed to smuggle some of the guards to gather intel.They will be executed later tonight.I will send 100 Navy S.E.A.L.s tommorow to investigate.If the nation is all ready nuked to bits than I will not

Hudecia agrees with the Commerce Act except that it should be extended as a ban of all goods except foods.

OOC: Ignore Jangle Jangle Ridge

The Commerce Act is still being enforced by the First and Second Battle Groups and it is hoped that other nations are still joining Gorokistan in this enforcement.

...And 50 MT of uranium falls into the see, and all the wildlife dies, and YOU have to pay for it. You people are just stupid.
Falls into the sea: yes
Explodes: no.

I don't care wether or not it explodes, it just leaks into all the waterways of the world, which are completely interconnected.

Although Rebeland is a dictatorship, I do not condone such acts of barbarism. Rebeland will send a unit of Abrams tanks to deal with your dictator "accordingly" along with this 30,000 men have been sent. Good Luck!

Hudecia agrees with the Commerce Act except that it should be extended as a ban of all goods except foods.

I don't care wether or not it explodes, it just leaks into all the waterways of the world, which are completely interconnected.
If it leaks. It doesnt have to. The USAF has lost about half a dozen nuclear and hydrogen weapons and they all have failed to leak or explode.

[OOC: Sorry guys, I was busy for the holidays. Let me get on track. Hopefully I've kept track of all events, excluding the nuke]

Having pulled yet anoher card out from his sleeve, Comrade Tannhauser has offered the Alliance against his regime a deal. According to sources, he still has 5,000 immigrant workers that have yet to be executed. The exact reason as to why or how they survived is unknown, but reports allege that they were skilled laborers working in the slave mines and camps. Comrade Tannhauser, presumably knowing the odds against him are stacked, is willing to fully release these now "political prisoners" unconditionally if the alliance against the nation of Tannhauser agrees to withdrawl from Tannhauser air and sea space. Should they not pull back from Tannhauser's borders, the prisoner slaves will be executed, 100 prisoners each hour. Should the nation be invaded, all will be executed mercilessly in the massive gas chamber in which they are held.

Comrade Tannhauser's cabinet said that if this deal goes smoothly, they may speak terms with the countires against them.

-International News

We do not negotiate with rouge states and dictators. You will surrender unconditionally, or you will be destroyed.

-Chancellor James Lynch, Commonwealth of Seversky.


In responce to this latest outrage, Commonwealth forces have stepped up airstrikes against Tannhauser. CSAF has released its Stratofortress B.4B-1's and Victor B.4s on the capitol of Tannhauser, and it is doubted there will be anything left of it when they are through.

In response to the mobilization of air forces against the capitol, Tannhauset Gate, Comrade Tannhauser has ordered a massive deployments of anti-aircraft flak guns and rocket turrets. The exact specifications of his weapons has yet to be determined.

After the statement made Changellor Lynch, a Rebeland slave child was executing without mercy in Tannhauser Gate Square, with the following reply (in thick, soviet-esk accent);


Citizens of the world,

We do not wish to engage in a war where the blood of thousands of lives from each country involved will stain our very soil. In this act we deliver a message: This child is one of many that will die in this confilct. Not just by our hands, but by theirs also. This child died because the nation of Seversky refused to back down. How many more lives but be lost in such a fashion?

The Chancellor calls my Comrade a dictator. What insolence! This man who play savior is nothing more than a dictator himself! He thinks he can walk upon my blessed country, and my great Comrade, all so he can rule our nation himself.

For now we wait for his military actions. Those attack planes that make it past our defenses will attack strategic military targets. Let it be known that the Chancellor of Seversky hass had prior knowledge that innocent lives of all countries are residing in these so called "military targets". Should he attack, these lives will be lost. Perhaps lives that are indigenous to YOUR country. And for what, Mr. Lynch? Freedom? The people of Tannhauser stand behind our great Comrade. They rally for him. They parade for him. They love him. And you wish to take that away?

This so called Alliance is nothing more than a group of ruffians and bullies. Do not side with them. They are the truw murders of the innocent.

- General Mishovin, Comrade of Warfare

The government of Hudecia will never be intimidated by such outrageous actions. Our government redoubles our commitment to this conflict and will take all actions including invasion if necessary to end this savage massacre.

We strongly urge Tannhauser to reconsider its reckless decisions.

We strongly urge all alliance members to take firm action against Tannhauser. These kinds of actions cannot be tolerated by the civilized world.

To: General Mishovin and the leaders of Tannhauser
Ultimately, the innocent lives lost in this conflict will be a result of the actions taken by the government within Tannhauser. Those however, pale in comparison to the lives destoryed and the blood shed already at the hands of the brutal regime currently in place. In response to your execution of the child I have ordered a surgical strike upon your Intelligence HQ within your capital city. At the moment two Lancer Cruise Missiles are ariving on their target. We do not wish to take these actions to the next level and wish to make the following proposal to all sides: 1. Release the remaining foreigners and allow them to be turned over to the custody of the allied nations. 2. Make formal apologies to all nations that have suffered as a result of these actions. 3. Make reparations to all nations affected by this. Even with this proposal make no mistake about our resolve in dealing with your nation. Our country has already spilled the blood of its soldiers on your land and we are still investigating your possible involvement in the assassination of our Supreme Leader and if your were involved you will be punished. We are nearing the end of the beginning and the ball in now solely in your court.

Moments ago, a "dirty" chemical bomb was detonated in a crowded shopping mall in the metropolitan area of Gorokistan, killing 25 and injuring 70. Officials say the chemical was of homebrew and is the most likely the result of terorism. The chemical release was similar to a chlorine gas which is fatal when inhaled. By sheer luck alone were there any survivors. No suspects have been arrested at this moment.

-International News

At the regret of our fervent citizens, but at the request of Comrade Tannhauser, I have come forth to engage the Alliance in a dicussion of a cease fire. We no longer wish our citizens' blood to be spilled, regardless if it is their choice. We wish no longer see the bodies of our citizens lost to the war-mongers. The great nation of Tannhauser is a peaceful, but strict and orderly nation, and we would like to see this war, nay, this invasion put to an end. Let those who know the value of a human life step forward and speak terms, and leave the tyrants and terrorists behind.

- Randolph von Kerm, assisant Comrade of Foreign Affairs

We, as members of the international community, have a duty to protect the innocents you have so brutally destroyed. So you can throw all the propoganda forth that you wish, but your nation has still slaughtered many innocents and this is something that cannot and will not be forgotten. Early intelligence on the chemical attack points to Tannhauser nationals as being involved. A connection is also being searched for between this group and the assassination. You have clearly shown the course you wish to take.

(OCC: You cannot announce my losses from an attack, just as I did not tell you the damage and losses from my strike on your intelligence HQ. Good to have you back and hope the holidays were well for you. I am off to work so I will not be participating until late tonight if not tomorrow.)

Hudecia refuses to negotiate with Tannhauser until it gives up its terrorist methods and makes reparations for the murder of innocent civilians of other nations.

Our fleet remains prepared to take action against Tannhauser unless it relents.

OOC: Our "fleet" consists of 2 ships :oops:
1 Kitty Hawk Class Carrier
1Spruance Class Destroyer

[OOC: Sorry Goro. As you can see, I do not RP here often. Yeah, holidays were good, and hope yours went well also. I'll come back and post later this evening if I'm not too overloaded]

A massive air campaign was launched from the Hudecian Battle Fleet off Tannhauser targeting vital infrastructure and "targets of opportunity" in and around the capital city.

Although initial damage reports are sketchy the Hudecian government is reporting that it lost a MiG-27 Flogger when it tried to straf an army convoy but crashed instead. The status of the pilot is unknown but it is thought that he ejected before the crash.

Opposition leaders in the Parliament questioned if our troops had the training required to carry out such a campaign.

We declare ourselves as a neutral nation. We recently had a conflict with Nipperland and we don't want to start another country. However, we accept refugees in our country, who would stay a maximum of two months and they could not ask for permission to live permanently in Goldany, we are full of immigrants yet.

The death toll has now climbed to 750 with injuries at more than 2000. Chemical fallout from the blast has settled in the area but is not causing many secondary cases. All tolled Gorokistan has lost more than 1750 citizens including, the late Supreme Leader in recent terrorist attacks. The link between todays attack and Tannhauser has been established by intelligence agents working within both nations and they are ever closer to the next link as well. As a result Supreme Leader Juopin has ordered the immediate deployment of the First, Second, Third, Forth, Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Armies to the region (700,000) and has begun active bombardment of the nation. Developing...

Lancer Cruise Missles are under way and currently striking goverment facilities in the capital. These including economic facilties, diplomatic relations buildings, and military targets. A brigade of REF forces conducted a shoreline raid earlier this evening and attacked a water supply station, serving a nearby military base, they also engaged local militia forces, involving machine gun and mortar fire, and took minor casualties (3 dead, 7 wounded) before withdrawing form the successful mission. It is hoped that these actions will serve to avoid greater confrontations.

Despite heavy opposition from the public, The United Socialist States of West Pacific was forced to honor its Alliance and began an air campaign at 2300 hours. A flight of Apache helicopters, escorted by F-22 Raptors, attacked the idustrial area of Tannhauser Gate.

Reports are scetchy but of the 35 Apaches, five were shot down and one Raptor was lost due to technical diffaculties. The pilot was unable to eject. The families of the men, and women, who lost their lives have not been notified until we can confirm if they are dead or alive. It is believed two Apache pilots survived but were quickly datained.

The pilots claim that atleast seven targets were hit and of those three were entirely engulfed in flames. We are waiting for the photos from a high level recon flight to confirm the amount of damage the buildings attained.

West Pacific deeply regrets any civilian tragedies, but such is the way of war.

It is now time to unleash the dogs of war.

The link between the assassination and Tannhauser has been established and it is shown that the terrorists who conducted the barbaric act were form that nation. As such a state of war now exists between the nations. Every action was taken to avoid this, but these were to no avail.

Supreme Leader Juopin
The Rogue Nation of Gorokistan

The Fourth Carrier Battle Group is being deployed to the region.

Due to recent terror attacks in my cities, notably the capital, I regret to inform you that a squadron of F-22's was recently dispatched to attack and destroy the bunker Tannhausen was believed to be hiding in and his capital to catch those of his government offguard. As for terrorism, one country reported a cargo plane being stolen, and this bio-weapons connect with what the plane was going to drop on my capital had it not been shot down. The results are currently unknown, but it is beleived that his secretary of economy was killed , and one of his colonels was seriously injured. It is also beleived that one was lost, but none of this is currently confirmed. please confirm it so my people may be at rest.

OCC: Andmerica you can;t say the bunker was destroyed since you can't announce the damage. Only the person you attacked can say it was destroyed. Also, I would like to know some info on Tann, like city names and geography, to keep this accurate.

We have afixed the location of the downed West Pacific pilots and demand their immediate release.

In a short time, my fleet of Bumblebee space aircraft will move into position to attack and destroy your capital city unless you surrender. All other nations-an allout assault on their cities to bring back your captured soldiers is advised, as there is low probrability anything will survive the bombardment :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

I have now ordered advanced targeting technologies, and can make precision strikes withing the city. Just designate it as code MCPS

Im sorry but I am not familiar with the Bumblebee Space Aircraft. Could you please enlighten us on how you manged to make such a huge discovery in only five days. That is one hell of an accomplishment.


Try to keep the game realistic. And do some research on RPing before you chip in misinformation. Some of us actually know what we are doing. And if you did buy the technology for your Spacecraft would you please tell us from who you bought it, it sounds quite, umm what's the word, fake.

A woman military leader, clearly a general, has stepped up to a podium. The national flag of Samtonia is in the background behind her. A few flashes of cameras go off, and she lokks up from her notes and begins to speak.

"Hello, citizens of Samtonia. As I'm sure you are all aware, two days ago, the 1st fleet, as well as the 1st marine, 1st special forces, and 1st armored divisions all departed due to increased tensions with the rouge nation of Tannhauser. Our troops were all briefed on the threat before they left and all agreed to participate in the engagement to protect the citizens of Tannhauser from their corrupt and immoral government. AS of this moment, a state of war has been declared and we are beginning attacks upon any naval vessels bearing the flag of Tannhauser. Our high altitude bombers have moved into position and should be dropping the first bombs about...now. With this, we are officialy at war. I would like to urge the people of Samtonia to be brave in these coming times and to get ready for our troops when they come back home!"

With that, the general walks off the stage as reporters sit back in their chairs, stunned at what has just taken place.

Meanwhile, thousands of feet up in Tannhauser airspace....

"Copy that Bravo. Have successfully avoided long range aquisitional radar. Now going into radio silence."
The bombers all flew in tandem, their wings extremely close together. Luck had been with the bomber crews,as the main radar system was scanning away from them, probably towards the Gorokistanian planes.
"All right, all bombardiers, on my mark. We're approaching the target."
The target- The main radar station of the nation of Tannhauser. Taking it out would cripple the ability of Tannhauser's airforce to try to stop bombing raids.
"All right, prepare to release...Steady...Steady...Activate the computers!"
With that, GBU "Bunker Busters" as well as a variety of other submunitions began to fall over the radar station. The planes slowly flew away,their tails receding into the night sky.
Except one. It's crew climbed to the maximum ceiling of their plane, far above any missile's range. The camera in the plane's belly began to take pictures of the radar station, to make sure it had been destroyed.

With that, Samtonia had officialy entered the conflict.

I bought them. I don't like people who god mod. I have alot of money

I got my ships from kloner's store for newbs. I have been saving money, and could affor the immense price of all 500. They will also be loaded with troops for invasion, after teh initial precision strikes. JUst give me a code MCPS, and I will fire on the target. They have advanced shielding i got so i can survive most missiles, unless you have decided to launch 5 or 6 missiles at each. But be warned, I also bought advanced navigational systems so a few may miss :twisted: :twisted:

To West Pacific and allied nations:

The West Pacific Aviators were located at a government police station, being guarded by what appear to be militia forces, 25 miles inland from the coast. Armed with this information, from Gorokistani Intelligence, an operation was launched to rescue them and currently is at its midpoint. Our Special Forces Operators (203) being supported by a battalion (500) of REF soldiers and two Apache Gunships are currently on the ground and at the police station. Members of the First Division, III Corp, First Army have begun to clear the evacuation route and have been successful in setting up the logistic network to remove the teams when the operation is complete. Local militia in combination with Tannhauser regulars have been engaging the forces as they were enroute, but resistance has been very light. Operators are conducting the raid even as this communique is being issued and are working to secure the building. As of last report one aviator had been found and is able to move and fight on his own power. REF soldiers are engaged on the building perimeter. When the second avaiator is located we will clear the building and fall back to previous positions. Preliminary casualties 1 dead, 4 wounded.

Hudecian Public Broadcaster

Even as public opposition to the war grows in Hudecia and other member states of the NNA, West Pacific in particular, President Tablus remains firm in his commitment. Today, another MiG-27 was lost to anti air fire outside the capital city of Tannhauser. The pilot was not able to eject.

In other news, outside Parliament a group of about 100 protesters armed with signs and loudspeakers chanted anti-war slogans and vowed not to leave until the hostilities with Tannhauser have ended.

Off an un-named beach on Tannhauser....

"Sir, the landing force is ready."
"Excellent. You may tell all captains to begin their bombardment at once."
"Yes Sir!"
With that, the naval commander lifted his binoculars to his eyes and watched the beach.

On the beach- Forward observation post DD-42...

"Well, comrade, what do you think of this new beer?"
"Pah! I could brew better stuff than this wartime crap!"
"Ohhh, careful comrade. If the Aquisition hears you talking like that-"
"Well, they won't hear me unless you're a sneak!"
"Calling me names are you? Well, you a-"
Suddenly, the soldier jumps up.
"Are there supposed to be naval forces of Tannhauser off our beach?"
"No, why?" asked the other soldier as he got up to look. Realization dawned on the two as they saw muzzle flashes from the ships anchored offshore.
"Quick! Get on the radio! Alert the base!" screamed the one as he frantically rummaged around for his weapon.
"No time comrade! We've got to go!'
"No, we need to alert the-"

Explosions rained down on the beach and surrounding shoreside as the naval commander looked through his binoculars. He turned to his second in command, face ashen and downturned.
"It has begun. And we are powerless to stop it now."

"All marines to the landing craft! All marines to their assigned landing craft!" The klaxons began to howl as marines rushed with their gear to their assigned landing craft. As the ships slowly began to cruise towards shore, the marines on board noticed the helicoters taking off from the ships.
"Well, at least we'll have some support for this. I mean, it's just the airforce but it's better than nothing!" joked one of the younger marines. A few of the veterans looked at him, but said nothing.

How could you afford to buy such things. You have only been in existance for 6 days. To buy a fleet of these spacecraft would cost trillions of USDs, their is no way you can afford those and a ground and a navy.Try to keep the game realistic. And your space aircraft are considered WMD's. It will be a very bad blemish on your record in you use them.

OOC: Everyone, stop godmodding already! If necessary, I can dedicate a whole post to listing everyone who is godmodding and how they are doing so.
IC:
The Federation's Minister of Defense, Meredith Sawicki, walks up to a podium in front of approximately 200 people and several recording devices broadcasting the event to hundreds of millions of other Federation citizens. The microphone, a device improved only to eliminate feedback in the hundreds of years of progress since mankind first left earth, is turned on, and Sawicki begins her address:

Despite our well known motto, each and every one of us know that the Prime Directive which we take so very seriously is an integral part of our isolationism among the stars. Minutes ago, the Federation Council met in the Capital Territory to discuss the request for aid from our newfound allies in Andmerica. In reviewing the available information on the struggle which Andmerica now finds itself in, the Council has decided that the actions of Tannhauser, as backwards and immoral as we may find them, cannot be used as a motivation to declare war on the nation. It has also decided that any type of aid to Andmerica would also be in violation of our prime directive, however much we would like to be able to aid them once again. In reviewing the available logs, the Council discovered the threat to the fragile environment of Earth, the planet we still call home, posed by Jangle Jangle Ridge's so-called 'weapons of mass destruction', is too great to go unnoticed. In discovering this, the Council realized that the size of Jangle Jangle Ridge is far too great for an all-out military assault to be an appropriate response. The Council has now issued a warning to Jangle Jangle Ridge to cease its hostilities against the planet's environment.

Sawicki pauses for a moment for the audience to realize that the address is complete, and begins the Q&A period.

From the office of the Military Advisor to the Divine Leader of the People of West Pacific.

===============================================================

At 1900 hours this countries naval forces moved in to prepare for an invasion of the northwestern coast of the nation of Tannhauser. The naval task force was spotted by destroyer but it was quickly sunk with only minor damage to the cruiser USSWPS Vinceburg. The Navy then started shelling the beach with the 9-inch guns of the task forces three cruisers and the 6-inch guns of the 17 destroyers. The 2 carriers then launched 20 F-22's and 15 Apaches to further soften up the beach heads.

Suddenly, without warning, the well camoflauged coastal guns of Tannhauser started opening fire on the invasion fleet. 3 destroyers were sunk and the Vinceburg suffered further damage and was forced disengage, neither of the carriers were within range of the guns but their was a close call when the guns first started firing.

The Apaches then turned on the costal batteries and although nothing has been confirmed yet it would appear that 4 turrets were destroyed and 9 others badly damaged.

Then, at 2020 hours 400 navy seals and 100 Air Force Deltas landed on shore and secured two of the bunker complexes guarding the beach, the third group was discovered and killed before they would cut land communications and power the rest of the coastal defenses.

Finally, at 2100 hours and after two hours of bombardment 70,000 Marines landed on the beach and met heavy resisance, 5000 marines never made it to shore. 3500 Bradley Armored Infantry Vehicles were landed onshore also with 500 M-1 leopard tanks in support.

More troops are being landed as we speak and at the time of the creation of this message our troops were already one and a half miles inland but were meeting heavier resitance as they pushed forward.

OOC- I'd like a list. Just for chuckles.

all the ships were were only $27,500,000,000. I can afford that as I saved up for the first few years. It has been confirmed that at least 5 F-22s were lost in the assault. Any new please report ot me

OOC-Tannhauser, a post back would be nice. We need to know a few things-
1.Your defensive forces
2.Where they are
3.What damage was done on my bombing raid
4.What defenses are going to try to stop my beach landing
and 5. What forces are going after the armed forces of West Pacific

And really, Unified Planets, who's been god-modding? I'd like to konw what you consider it and who violated it.

OOC:
Well, since you asked... 8)
Jangle Jangle Ridge: using WMDs without provocation (not technically godmodding, but still very poor RP)
Seversky: claiming to have downed the JJR nuke (posting another nation's damages)
Jangle Jangle Ridge: claiming that his nuke contains 50 megatons of uranium (a 50 MT warhead has an explosive power equivalent to 50 MT of TNT - it does not literally contain 50 MT of uranium)
Anti-Nazis: claiming to have rescued all of the citizens that were to be rescued without any losses
Tannhauser: posting losses in a strike against Gorokistan
Samtonia: having a massive military for a nation founded on 20 Dec 2003
Andmerica: posting the destruction of a bunker in Tannhauser
Andmerica: having a massive space fleet for a nation founded on 23 Dec 2003
Andmerica: etc...
Did I miss anything? ;)

The ships were cheap. only like 27.5 million each. I said it is beleived that the bunker was destroyed etc. I am not godmodding. What is wrong with saying something is believed and buying some thing I can afford. :tantrum:

And tannhauser, please post what happened. It has been like 3 days now. I havn't got anything from you! :tantrum:

Wait- how is having an armed force total of 16,000 infantry and oh, 1,500 vehicles along with a grand total of 34 planes and a navy with a grand total of 20 ships considered god-moding? That's not a massive military. If you look at the stats for my country, it states that the military runs the country and takes almost all of its tax money- so, this is actually a very small army that I sent over if you think about it (As for other troops, I've got about 140,000 infantry and the same number of fighter planes and vehicles) Clearly, not a "massive" military.

OOC: Could we please stop the fighting about who is godmodding and who is not and just get back to the RP. I couldn't agree more with Unified Planets and thank that nation for its posts on the subject. I have been busy and hope to post more here tomorrow. West Pacific, help is on teh way for your Marines and information on your pilots is coming, but I just don;t have the time right now.

At 0600 hours fighters and helicopter gunships pounded the shoreline of Tannhauser and continued their barrage for another 30 minutes. At 0645 the 3rd Hudecian Regiment, the 1st Hudecian Special Forces (Night Owl Regiment) and 1st Amoured Regiment landed with continuing support from helicopter gunships.

OOC: We should wait for Tannhauser to respond before posting any damage.

How the hell could you make 27,000,000,000 USD in only a matter of days. I created my nation at the same time as you did and I almost went bankrupt buying my meager supplies. YOU RETARD, the US, with the strongest economy in the world, has a yearly budget of 3 trillion USD. So if you think your population of 11 million are all just going to give 2454.45 USD in one day you are sadly mistaken.


Just forget about the whole bumblebee shitt and keep it realistic or my super strong mega spaceship carrier battleships will be forced to transform your little nation into a big pond. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Whose F-22's were lost? You did not say if they were yours, mine, or your little green friend on Uranus.

Listen, I get about 12 billion in millitary funds, and 100 billion in true funds. I went a year spending less than a million credits. Use a calculator.
10 billion+11billion=21 billion
500*27,500,000 only 13 billion. Kloner will soon tell you guys waht I mean :tantrum:
Oh crap, I paid double what I should of spent

Listen, I get about 12 billion in millitary funds, and 100 billion in true funds. I went a year spending less than a million credits. Use a calculator.
10 billion+11billion=21 billion
500*27,500,000 only 13 billion. Kloner will soon tell you guys waht I mean :tantrum:
Oh crap, I paid double what I should of spent

But you said you spent 27.5 TRILLION (right price, but out of your league)
Now you say you spent 27.5 BILLION (wrong price, but fits your checkbook)

Oh, and where do you get your numbers?

First it was 12 billion and 100 billion.

Then it became 10 billion + 11 billion

finally it was 500 times 27,500,000.

Lets face it, you faked buying the spaceships and were so stupid that when you tryed to cover it up you kept going from trillions to billions to millions and then back to billions.

Are you 5? Because then I could excuse such stupid mistakes. But much older and it can not be excused.

Ok listen closely I am only going to say this once.
If you are using all of your money on the military and ever day is a year
maybe your calculations would workout.

However, the assumption that you can drain all the countries resources for that is not at all possible.

Even Canada with all the different ways they tax us. Believe me I know.
doesn't have a lot of a military.

If you want to use futuristic space gear that is out of this world. Remember the Prices will also be out of this world.

Oh and you get what you pay for.
A mustang for 1300 dollars is probably from 86 and is rusted to hell with a four banger for an engine
A mustang for 25,000 dollars is probably much better and could possible have a V8.

If I can buy fighters for more then what you bought those space ships for.
To put things in perspective for you.

Thanks for your patience and attention

Pardon my language
Sorry

As the owner of Klonor Ship Store, and it's numerous offshoots, I can confirm that the nation of Andmerica did, in fact, purchase 500 Bumblebee class spacecraft.

However, those are tiny, almost pathetic ships. That ship store is a store designed for new, tiny nations with no resources or money. The reason the ships are so cheap (only a few million each) is because they are bad ships. Well, not bad, just not built with the same capabilities as regualr ships. It's like comparing a go-cart to an Indy racer.

Andmerica, you would need thousands of Bumblebees to cause any significant damage to a nation, they are only armed with simple lasers, and those aren't even powerful lasers (the most powerful weapon available for those ships is 1/3 the power of a standar Klonor weapon).

So, those ships, while existing and non-godmoddingly in the posession of Andmerica, are small, not powerful ships. Sorry if I trashed your dreams of conquest.


For info on Klonor ships and services, feel free to visit any of the many Klonor store threads. The first link (the one without a picture) is the store which has the Bumblebee specs.

Colonel: Admiral sir, our forces have forced their way 15 miles inside the borders of Tannhauser.

Admiral: Any casualties?

Colonel: Sir their are always casualties in war.

Admiral: I know that, but how many?

Colonel: Sorry sir, casualties have been minimal. It appears Tannhauser was relying on his fortified beaches to hold us back. We have rarely even had to face a National guard unit, much less a true army unit. But intelligence reports show that Tannhauser may be preparing a counterattack, that is why our forces have slowed their advance, we are also building fallback positions should such an event accure.

Admiral: Good to hear it son. Keep up the good work.

End of Transmission.

I bought a powerful weapon. And no dreams of conquest, just swarms to put down a couple buildings. They can make precision strikes, and while weak, They work for wiping out what i will use them for. No match against a larger ship, but good for what I am using them for 8)

What powerful weapon did you buy? The military laser? That's the weapon that's only 1/3 the power of a standard Klonor Beam Cannon. Not much power there.

Oh, well. Continue onward

Wait- how is having an armed force total of 16,000 infantry and oh, 1,500 vehicles along with a grand total of 34 planes and a navy with a grand total of 20 ships considered god-moding?

You're right. I need to get more sleep. :P

Inside the Grand Duke's palace, the Grand Duke along with the Surpreme Military Council aare arguning over their next move. An Air Corp general starts to argue with the Grand Duke over weather to continue Air strikes or to invade by land. For this offence, the general is reduced to a Captain and flogged. The Grand Duke decides to sttempt to take a "hill" and establish a base with a strike force of only 200 soldiers.


The Grand Duchy of Cherry Ridge

Intelligence Officer: Sir, as the trailing elements of the rescue team were withdarwing from the area they began to encounter resistance from what appeared to be Tannhauser regulars who were beginnign to arrive in the area. It is not clear if this was in response to the rescue operation or the landing of West Pacific to the east of the operation. Aerial recon then showed a substantial force, exact numbers are yet unknown, beginning to push out of the west towards the east. It is feared that this force is responding to the landing and given its strength could pose a serious threat to our allied forces.

Adminral: Recommendation?

Intelligence Officer: Sir, it is recommended that we move forces into the gap between Tannhauser and West Pacific and that we also land forces at the West Pacific site to supplement their strength and assist with their initial push inland.

Admiral: Damn Tannhauser. Very well, Move the First and Second Armies into the gap and instruct the First to hold the area surrounding the beach and begin to probe the enemy. The Second Army should move rapidly inland to 50 miles and begin to actively engage the enemy. Move the Third and Fourth Armies into position with the West Pacific forces to the east and continue the inland push. Deploy two Armored Divisions with each Army and prepare the Airborne Units. Commence active naval attacks on the coastal region and the Tannhauser regulars. Launch the boats.

Gorokistan News Network
Immediate Bulletin:

Attack on Tannhauser has begun... Sources say forces landing. West Coast pilots found alive and rescued.

A terrific roar went up across the armada assembled off the coast as explosions could be seen off in the distance. The landing craft raced towrds the shore as counter fire began to rain down on the craft. Geysers of water shot into the air and screams could be heard as the first of the crafts was hit. Resistance was moderately light, as expected because of the location of the enemy, as the first units hit the beach and began to put the plan into motion. A nonstop "parade" of landing craft ensued most reaching the shore, with few not. Companies from the First Army began to encounter resistance as they pushed into the small coastal town, just inland from the landing area. More men and equipment poured onto the shore and began to move themselves into position.

Major: General, tannhauser forces are great in numbers, the landing force of 200 are requesting a greater force
General: tell them that the 1st and 2nd divisions of the 5th army are arriving and will combine with them. Then they will move inland towards the capital. The Commanding Officer of the 2nd division is to take command of the entire force. Also recommend that the 200 forces already there go ahead and clear the path after they combine. but to stay under command of the 2nd div. 'scommander

~The Grand Duchy of Cherry Ridge~

Cherry Ridge where are your forces landing? To the east or west of our forces. If it is to the west there is a large force of Tannhauser regulars there so be wary. Or are you further down the coast to the east near the West Pacific forces? This coordination would be appreciated so we can work to vanquish the enemy forces and so that you will not be caught in an attack that we are making.

Hudecia regrets that it must withdraw its fleet and all forces due to other commitments.

OOC: its actually cuz Tannhauser hasnt replied in several days and I dont want these forces tied up here

Because of a lack of resistance by Tannhauser the USSWP will withdraw all forces from the nation of Tannhauser.

All West Pacific citizens still in Tannhauser will be evacuated.

Agreed with Hudecia and West Pacific, but will continue to monitor the situation.

I withdraw all forces form Tannhauser territory, but moniter it in the background. Tannhauser still hasn't replied, even after I sent him a TG.
