Tactical Strikes Against Rogue Nation of Anti-American Semi
The planned tactical strikes against RNAAS have been post-poned until dawn, at the urging of several of our allies and suporters.
However, at dawn, RNAAS time will have run out. At an indeterminate time after dawn, ARM and it's allies and supporters will launch tactical strikes against coastal installations. There will be escalative strikes throughout the day and evening, eventually launching an attack on RNAAS's capitol city.
We urge any nations who may have embassies in the Rogue Nation to get your people out ASAP. They have had ample opportunity (7+ days) to respond to our posts. They cannot make threats against a sovreign state and get away with it.
To follow what has been transpiring about this situation, please see the threads "Threat Received" and "Attention Rogue Nation of Anti-American Semites".
Thank You,
Gen. Strickland, Commander ARMED
Alaric, King of Xeraph
From: Command Post of Gen. Strickland, Commander ARMED.
Strikes against the Rogue Nation of Anti-American Semites have commenced at 2330 hours, this date.
3 Kirov Class Heavy missile Ships of the Theocracy of Spider Death have commenced shelling of the coastal bunkers of RNAAS. At 0030, 5 Broadside Class battleships of the Confederacy of Darkwing Vampyres will commence shelling of the mid-coast installations of RNAAS.
At 0130, the 1st Carrier Group of the Dominion of the Gardens of Death, comprised of 5 Nimitz Class Carriers, will deploy 5 waves of 30 Tornado GR4 fighters against the inland military targets of RNAAS: munition plants, armament factories, and communication sites.
Immediately following the Tornado GR4 strikes will be 5 waves of 50 F/A 18 Hornets to follow up the destruction of military targets .
AT 0300, 5 waves of the 23rd Vampyric Guard totaling 100,000 armored troopers will land and begin pushing towards the cities of RNAAS with orders to focus on securing the cities and seting up communication sites. They have strict orders not to fire on civilians.
At 0330, 100 Hi-58 attack helicopters will cover the 5th Vampyric Tank Corp with 100 Leopard 2A5 MBT, 100 M1A2 Abrams MBT, and 500 Challenge II MBT.
Over a period of the next 4 hours, 700 MLRS Mobile Rocket Systems will be landed and deployed mid-coast.
We formally call on our allies of ARM, NNA, and AR to go to HIGH ALERT in anticipation of counter-attack.
In addition, our supporters are urged to be ready to aid us in this situation:
The Kingdom of Austica
Verboten Lufftwaffe
Credonia
Anti-terror Army
Tiborita
Dimmimar
Falastur
Valient
Exonerate
Amodeus Corsairs
New Izumi
The Santa Empiria
the Zoogie People
Democratic Republic of Slavgova
the Armed Republic of Nazguul
If the above nations/regions will please indicate what aid they will send, it will be advantageous to all, so we can curtail this aggressive nation of Rogue Nation of Anti-American Semites.

From: Gen. Strickland, Commander ARMED.
10 B-2 Spirit Bombers from the Holy Empire of the Knights of Hell have deployed from air bases in Xeraph.
In addition, 10 B-1B Lancer Bombers have taken off from air bases in Xeraph.
All bombers are armed with conventional weapons.

A battalion of Behemoth MBT's will support the trropers.
I have just received word that the Vampyric Council have agreed to ready their ICBM's, armed with conventional and non-conventional warheads. These will be used only as a last resort.

Be advised that we have been threatend with ahhihilation by this "Rogue Nation". We have been most patient over the past 8+ days. We have repeatedly tried to get a response from them, to no avail. We are not going to sit back and accept aggressive rhetoric from anyone.
We have made our case to the nations ( see post " threat received" ).
We have numerous allies and supporters who concur that this stance against a sovreign nation cannot be tolerated.
Therefore, strikes against RNAAS have been instituted.
As a new nation, you should be made aware that there are nations out there who are not your friends. You should takesteps to ally yourself with those who truly want to maintain peace.
You could be next on some terrorist hitlist.

I should know about terrorists... having been through a coup d'etat and a war in my first 2 days... So are you one of these peace maintaining nations? If you are we will be happy to join you in your fight agianst the enemy. Why do you have the ATA? They're terrorists from what i've heard...
The Anti-Terrorist Army are our allies. They have pledged support in this situation. Even if they were terrorists, which they aren't, the old saying goes, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend".
We are a peace loving and peace maintaining nation. We are part of the Alliance Regioni Militaria, comprised of 45 nations, with 7 more pending. We are aligned with the New Nations Alliance, the Alliance Rebelandi, and the IADF.
We believe that peace at times must be maintained by force. We will not stand by and let any of our nations or allies go it alone against aggression.
If you wish to join us, please feel free to do so. You can maintain youe national independence, or jump into one of our regions. The region of Cimmeria is our newest region to join the ARM. Plenty of room for you, and your protection is absolutely guaranteed.
Just ditch the hash production...not a good way to climb out of a financial pit. We and other nations will help.

5th Royal Carrier Battle Group – OSA, Nimitz, Type-45 Stealth Distroyer, 688(I) Equipped
And its
10th Royal Air Recon Group (2 Aircraft) – EWACS Equipped
to the aid of Xeraph forces. Forces will be within striking distance of RNAAS force in 4 hours (4 RL seconds).
To: Verboten Lufftwaffe
Thanks. Please have your Battle Force stand by for orders from Gen. Strickland. We have yet to receive any notice of casualties from RNAAS, and therefore cannot post any ourselves. If they notice they are being attacked, and (finally) respond, then we will throw you right into the fight, along with significant back-up from other nations.
Black Ops sounds good. May be necessary to send them in if all remains quiet in RNAAS capitol city.

From: Xeraph
Gen. Strickland has sent his greetings and thanks you for your support. He is placing you in stand-by mode for the present, pend RNAAS response.

From: Gen. Strickland, CMDR ARMED
Update: ARMED section commanders are reporting mostly light-to-medium resistence from RNAAS forces, heavy fighting around larger cities.
RNAAS has still not responded/broken radio silence, so do not officially know extent of their casualties.
ARMED forces are advancing slowly and cautiously inland. Civilians are greeting us as liberators.
Second Strike is set to commence at noon, this date.
Third Strike is in planning stages.
From: Gen. Strickland, CMDR ARMED
At 0555, naval and air forces of the Kingdom of Austica commenced strikes against RNAAS.
<OOC> see "threat received"
This country still has not responded to forces of the Coalition. Second Strike will commence as planned at approx noon, this date.
Should RNAAS realize it's precarious position and call for a cessation of hostilities, the Austicans will chair a Council of Armistice, attended by all theatre commanders and delegates of ARMED, ARM, NNA, AR, and IADF.
We thank Austica for their strikes against the capitol city of RNAAS.
Austica, please post in this forum so we can all appreciate the ass-kicking your'e giving the enemy.
Second Strike will commence approx midnight tonight.

The Holy Empire of Crossman has Xeraph's thanks.
If you will let us know what forces you are sending, we will be sure to use them in either the second or third strike against RNAAS.
Alaric, King of Xeraph
From: Gen. Strickland, CMDR ARMED
Operation Second Strike has commenced.
The Burnsian Desert, Verboten Lufftewaffe, the Kingdom of Veshum, the Dominion of Zorayos, and the Armed Republic of the Twisted Clans have deployed their forces.
Descriptions of the forces being used will not be immediately forthcoming as in the past. We have detected possible activity on the part of RNAAS government, and for security reasons we do not want them aware of our deployment force.
Updates to follow.
OP2ndStrike designed to strike deep into RNAAS, focussing on mountainous areas and large cities with military/manufacturing capabilities.
Op3rdStrike, if necessary, will commence in 12-24 hours after Op2nd Strike.

The Democratic Republic Of Dimmimar wishes to support your cause. We can either send continued airstrikes from the aircraft carrier DGM Hope or constant bombardment from orbit. The aid we send is limited due to a war we are currently in.
Josh Janga
Spokesperson for the Dimmimaran government
Credonia and Dimmimar, thank you for your support.
Credonia, should we need your assistance, we will certainly contact you, and will do so via TG. We are, at present, doing well with our own nations and our allies and supporters who are actively engaged. Arela concern we have is the fact that RNAAS have not once responded to any posts or TG's over the past 9 days. We don't know what they're up to, but it can't be good. We will be increasing our military presence in and around RNAAS, as well as being prepared to implement Operation Final Round.
Credonia, perhaps you would be able tocontact them. We truly do not wish to continue operations, but, as stated, we cannot recall our forces without some kind of response. They are, after all, terrorists.
Dimmimar, you can continue shelling coastal areas as yet unsecured, notably sectors A,B,C 2, 5, 7 and sector L3. These sectors are at extreme ends of already occupied coastal areas.
Respectfully,
Alaric, King of Xeraph

Onboard Crossmanian Enterprise-class CVN, ICS Crossman's Glory:
"Admiral Ravensburg, the rest of the fleet has arrived and we are now holding off the RNAAS coastline. Shall we commence bombardment?"
"No. We have orders straight from the Emperor to hold our position until we recieve word from Xeraph. However, put all fighter squadrons on stand by, I want them to launch the second we get the signal. Contact the Endeavor and tell them to do the same. Also contact the Normandy. I want the Marines ready to go ashore."
"Aye sir!"
From: Gen. Strickland, CMDR, ARMED
AT 0000 hours, this date, Op3rdStrike will commence with the forces of the Holy Empire of Crossman leading the first wave.
Admiral Ravensburg, you are hereby directed to deploy your forces. I would forgoe any shelling of the coastal areas as there are troops and armament already established in those areas. Please coordinate with the Kingdoms of Veshum and Zaroyas as concerns air-strikes. You can land your troops and any armored vehicles and then head inland.
Be advised that RNAAS has still not yet responded. We fear the worst: a sudden, all-encompassing nuclear holocaust as a suicide attempt by RNAAS.
ARMED has over 100 ICBM's and cruise missiles with nuclear and bio/chem capabilities at the ready, with 300 more cruise missiles ready to have their conventional warheads switched over to WMD warheads at a
moments notice.
Good Luck. ARM forces will be deploying shortly for Op3rdStrike/Op Final Strike.

We noticed the "last activity" entry also. 4 days ago was ample time for him to respond,as Xeraph has both TG'd and posted them.
