The prime minister steps up to the podium,

'I have extremelt bad news today, at 3pm a bomb was detonated outside the Grand Republic Hotel. The building sustained massive structual damage and part of the roof colapsed. At the moment casulties are 231 dead 57 missing. This is a sad day, but Argyllian intelligence has pin pointed where the terroists where trained and how they where funded. The answer is in Yemen, this country for too long has state sponsered terrorism and must be stopped I am asking for a international coalition to form and defeat this threat to world peace, thank you'

Central Facehuggeria will fully support our good Argyllian friends. Just ask for assistance, and we will send it.

Argyllia welcomes your support as a good friend, we ask for a amphibious fleet to help in the invaison, here is a map of the current situation:

As the pic isnt showing the fleet is off Somalia readying for the invaision

OOC- Can someone play Yemen if possible

Of course. The CFS Unyielding Intruder, a wasp class Amphibious landing carrier will provide support for this operation. In addition, we will send the CFS Leviathian and the CFS Vaginon, both Leviathian class advanced subs to bombard the enemy with cruise missiles.

We will send more support in time.

The Peoples Republic of Fairweather Eden condemns these attacks on you, and morally supports you if your evidence is sound. However at this time we are unable to give you any physical support due to our young country being very small, and our army would be crushed in any major war.

We urge Yemen to give up these terrorists and cease all financial support in the interests of peace. We recommend postponing any attack for one day till Yemen has had time to make its position clear. If after 24 hours there has been no response we recommend a swift and as bloodless as possible attack, with its main aim to sweep away the current government.

OOC: Although it is kind of pointless as no action you take will have any bearing on stopping any terrorist support Yemen gives to terrorists, so it would make more sense to pursue diplomatic means to persuade the player to stop.

OOC: Well, if we turn their country into radioactive glass, that will get them to stop, won't it? :wink:

IC: Several CF battlegroups are mobilizing, in case they are required in the land invasion.

OOC: No matter what you do here it doesnt stop their country doing what it likes. And by turning them into radioactive glass and totally killing them (which you cannot do because it is god moding) is an even greater act of terrorism than was commited in the first place.

To truly win we have to change their peoples hearts and minds. Convince them to stop supporting terrorism and you have won. Kill them and you are no better than those they support.

It isn't godmoding. It is the use of nuclear ordinance. :wink:
And I suppose I can't kill all of them, but I can kill most of them, around 98%. Now I'm not going to, because It isn't right, but I'm just saying that it isn't godmoding. (They aren't a real NS nation, as far as I know.)

But I agree that it is better to get to the root of the problem, and try to change the people's minds. In fact, that is what we are going to try to do after we invade.

Sorry didnt realise it wasnt a real country. But if it was it would be god moding: you cant state the death rate of the enemies side, and he cant set unrealisticly low death rates, as thats godmoding too. Then again he could claim to have nuclear proof bunkers which his entire population are in.

The argyllian fleet consists of;

1 Ocean Class Helicopter carrier
2 Albion Class Assault Ships
2 Empire Class Battleships
3 Trafalgar Class Submarines
3 County Class Cruiser
4 Type 45 Destroyers
5 Type 23 Frigates

This morning a small naval action took place off Socotra between Argyllian and Yemeni naval forces,

2 Sea Harriers from HMAS Talavera sighted 2 Osa II class patrol boats, they were immeaditly attacked after identification was verified. A total of 3 Sea Eagle anti-ship missiles where fired 1 hit each boat while one crashed in the sea,both of the 245 ton boats where sunk with the loss of 52 sailors.

We would gladly send assistance. 10 of our lesis class Dropships will drop a team of special ops troops approximately 10 km away from their capital city. From there they will continue and open an LZ for our dropships to desploy some of our marines. Onther nations may use this LZ too if it is needed.

OOC: BUMP!

IC: 2000 members of the Central Facehuggerian Army (In addition to support staff) load into a group of C-130 transports to begin the long journey to Yemen. There they will test their rapid deployment "drop" pods on Yememese forces.

OOC- No future tech, ie no dropships

Two county class cruisers the HMAS Somerset and HMAS Hampshire fired 60 Tomahawk Cruise missiles over a period of 15 minutes, the missiles targeted the Yemen Air Force Air Fields to clear the way for the airborne drop into Yemen by CF forces. The Tomahawks caused complete surprise and destroyed 3 Airfields, 17 MiG-21's and 12 of the more modern MiG-29's. In the next few hours Argyllian forces are expected to land on the Yemeni coast and link up with CF forces.

No future tech? Alrighty then. I keep a nice stock of H&K G11s and G36s just for such emergencies. :)

Replace drop pod with parachute.

IC: The CF paratroopers jumped out of their C130s and began the slow descent to the Yemen ground.

Inside a C130, a green light went on.
"Go! Go! Go! Go! Move it henderson!"
"But i'm afraid of heights sir!"
"Oh yeah?"
The sargent kicked Henderson out of the plane.
"Oops..."

This morning the 800 men of 1 Commando air assualted into Yemen in two waves of 18 Merlin helicopters a small beachead was secured and 4 LCAC's from HMAS Talavera started to relay from the shore to the ship, soon the whole of the Commando artillery and Recon squadron had landed, meanwhile the two Albion class amphib ships transported 800 men of 2 Commando to a seperate beachead using LCU-10's.

BUMP
