When morning comes, the team detonates the bombs...

A terrorist cell connected to Vlad Gusta operating out of the oppressive regime of Nova Da'amfeck has sent supplies and armaments, as well as troops and special forces not to mention suicide bombers, to Vlad in the west of Terronian.

The Most Serene and Ennuiatic Dictatorship of the Great Nation of Itakeitall to the embattled government of Terronian

In the hope of relieving some of the horrible burden placed upon your country by its current civil war, the nation of Itakeitall requests your permission to send peace keepers to the region. We will dispatch the 38th and 40th conscript divisions, both previously mobilized for a war in our region which failed to materialize. They are both at double strength (20k men each), and are at this point veteran units, having spent several years protecting supply lines and policing occupied territory.

We also request the right to utilize your air bases and supply depots, as well as your air space, in the interest of maintaining fighter patrols over your airspace, and will be sending our 1st, 2nd, and 3rd MiG 31 Foxhound Squadrons (10 planes each) to patrol your airspace. Consider our forces and resources at your disposal. The troops will arrive sometime next month, but I can arrange air patrols within the hour. Please indicate positions at which you would wish to have extra security, as well as basing areas for my soldiers. Patrols can be launched at your discretion, and further air support is available.

Good luck squashing your revolt. Please consider my nation at your disposal (within reason).

Aeon the 221st
Supreme Overlord of Itakeitall

(OOC: All ground troops will recieve orders on Wednesday (RL). Consider ITK AF to be patrolling as of now)

CorpSac will send in the 181st Marine Divs, the are armed with Bolters mainly and have power armor, they will surpport the goverment. and also the 21st Airospace Force(35 firewings 14 endor 14 Lancers) the fighters are atmosphereic fighters able to fly in space.

CorpSac Firewing Squad Tigerwing fly down over a Rebal strong hold opening fire, tho not destroying any building the attack did scar the Rebals for such an attack in such a strong area with out being noticed till the last minate.

CorpSac Marines platoon 1 move along the the Jewel river weeding out Rebals fighting is havey minor loses on CorpSac sides. with air surpport from the Firewings attack from Rebal migs are not a problem.

OOC: firewing stats found here as well as all the other aircraft: http://com3.runboard.com/bnationstatesforum.fcorpsaccorporation.t2 weapons are replaced with MGs Hvy MGs and so forth.

The Reichswehr Imperial Guard is prepared to mobilize 450 Imperial Guards and 80 Leopard 2A6 EX tanks, as well as various armored cars to support the government of Terronian.

Will issue bomb runs against enemy positions if needed.

The Holy Empire of Tepalguana sends a squadron of B-52 bombers to lay waste to the farmlands and fertile lands of the East of Terronia.
Another squadron of cargo planes flies in after the B-52, raining copies of Das Kapital into the ravaged East.

The US of Croniun will be sending 200,000 infantry troops to the east side of Terronia to support the rebels along with 30 tanks.

Also, Croniun will send 300 members of the FOC, 50 armed with RPG's and golden barretas.

a squad of firewings that were in the Easten area moved to intercept the B-52, as soon as they were in range the Firewings opened fire with there Hvy MGs and Light MGs blaseing at the B-52s, bobing and waveing so that the didnt make them self an esay target incase of any escorts.

Rebels open AA fire at CorpSac fighters. Goverment 5th infantry division is wiped out trying to blow up the AA battery. Damage report being waited for

OOC: Nuclear missle was intercepted by the amazing wizzards that I keep in my back pocket. It was rearmed with multiple special "Get Real" war heads and sent back to the godmodding nation of BS3 (an apropos anancronym in my opinion!)

IC: The nation of Itakitall scrambles Squadrons 1 & 3 to support CorpSac Firewings in their interception of enemy B52s. Ground troops are en route, under the assumption that the ROP request was accepted and that a response is pending. Details on all ITK forces can be aquired at request.

CorpSac Fighters that were under fire from AA pulled a daring move pulling up into the atmosphere then droping back down fireing there missiles once in range. some firewing hit the floor or just exploded in the air. with only 2 left they retreated.

38th ITK Conscript Division has been deployed in supporting positions in and around the capital of Terronian. Fortified positions have been established, check points are being set up, and civilians are being randomly searched for illegal weaponry. Patrols are frequent and non-intrusive, with the goals of keeping the peace at a low profile.

40th ITK Conscript Division is enroute to the River Jewel with the intent of rallying fleeing government troops and establishing contact with Corpsac Forces.

2nd Squadron Red Group is patrolling the skies above the Capitol of Terronian, 2nd Squadron Blue Group is providing air support to the 40th.

1st and 3rd Squadrons are being refitted and re-armed back in Itakeitall.

Regional support has been requested.

srry for not posting any rebel activity latley my comp was on the fritz so lets start this back up poeple.

Terronian News: Anchorman:Ladies and gentleman today is a day that will live in horrid misery for all of Terronian history. The founder of our country Dimitri Granskow while giving a speech about the great job our goverment is doing, was shot dead by a rebel sniper. The sniper died while trying to escape. Funeral possesians will be held in 3 days Granskow Square in the capitol.

Angered by the death of The Great Founder. Toltarian 1st and 39th Guard Divisions attak rebel city of Kuktovich. After 21 hours of massive fighting rebels surrender. Rebel leader threatens to unleash massive bombardment upon city.

Rebels launch massive air bombardemnt on Terronian and Itakieltall forces along jewel river. Terronian goverment announces 932 soldiers are dead. Only 2 enemy planes were shot down. Terronian leader also praises the Itakietall forces who fought and died trying to keep peace in the Terronian country.

"Command, this is Lieutenant Dorfsky- we are under heavy attack! Rebel aircraft are hitting us nonstop! This is the 402 Reg Squad 5 at coordinates 381N 117S near the Jewel River. Send air cover ASAP! Dorfsky out."

"Roger that Lieutenant, this is command. Have your men take cover. We are sending cover. Command over and out."

Blue 2 is scrambled from a nearby airbase. Their pre-prepped fighters are crewed and ready to launch in under 15 minutes. Captain Frieze, in Blue 21, completes his pre-flight checklist. This is his first time as the leader of a flight group; just his luck that it is a combat mission. He radios the tower for the coordinates and is cleared for takeoff. His group assumes its formation, a diamond with a tail, and heads for the target area. ETA: twelve minutes. He radios the embattled Lieutenant.

"Lieutenant Dorfsky, this is Captain Frieze. We are inbound on your position. Could you give us a heads-up on what to expect?"

"Captain, you don't know how good it is--- <<A bomb goes off nearby, letting off a massive explosion. Screams drown out the Lieutenant's next words>> ---Shit--- <<static>> --- lost --- hurry----" <<More static. Frieze cuts off the radio, then contacts Command>>

"Command, this is Blue 2. Sounds pretty bad out there; we may have lost quite a few guys. Coming over the area... its not looking good down there... request that you send in some of the med boys. Looks like there are only two bombers out there right now... the rest must have already gone. Engaging targets. Frieze out."

"Roger that Captain, Med Evac units dispatched to the last known position of the 402nd. Go get 'em! Over and out."

<<You flip on the tube, hoping to find something worth watching after a hard day of work>>

"--- is INN's Judith Tellital with the latest word from the front. The 23rd Mechanized Division was apparently ordered to blitz an artillery corps outside of Kuktovich. I am standing here with a young man, Sergeant Teller, of the 233rd. Sergeant, please tell us how the battle has gone for your unit."

<<Gunfire can be distantly heard in the background. Intermittently there is a louder noise from the explosion of bombs and artillery fire>>

"To tell you the truth, mam, they didn't see us comin. Its preety clare that we got teh jump on 'em. Rite now, the battle ain't over, but since we got our AA guns lined up on the sky and our own artillery poundin the crap, 'scuse the language mam, outta them, not ter mention our boys gunnin them down, it looks like they'll turn tail an---"

<<Overhead, a squadron of MiGs scream by, causing a deafening roar of sound that cuts off the last of the Sergeant's words>>

"There you have it, folks, right from the men at the front. The enemy is likely to be in full retreat, and with the skies fully controlled by the ITK Air Force, it is unlikely that the rebels will be attempting a bombing run of the sort that smashed the 402nd last month. <<She turns back to Sergeant Teller>> I wish you men the best, as I am sure that all our viewers back home do. Back to ---"

<<You change the channel, idly looking for something, anything, to entertain you. After a few channels, you find the hit show, "Who Wants To Be An Immigrant?" and settle down for an hour of hilarious antics and brutal death. You think to yourself, 'Man do I love TV!">>

A giant commercial boeing aircraft carrying 300 riders is hijacked by rebel terrorist and is crashed into The Terronian Life Tower in the capitol and collapses. 30,000 dead. terronian request international help to clean up the mess.

Lady:This is Private Linda Ramsey just telling my dad im alright.

Man:this is Staff Sergant Peter Jakivotz telling my wive il be back soon.
Field Anchor:Well in war news today the town of Uruk is happy with the new Teronian occupation. There have been a few minor skirmishes with Rebel terrorist but nothing bad. And also wh.... what the hell is that! (A loud rumbling is hurd as 2 huge black planes with rebel insignia on them fly past as 2 huge black cases come out of each). Oh my god its camera goes dead.

OOC: GTG, so my forces continue the assault if rebels maintain the defense, hand them over to Terronia if they surrender. My infiltrators escape with minor casualties, and all my forces withdraw to let you finish up.

It is a brilliantly sunny day in the coastal capital of Itakeitall, Miilano. The Dictator, Aeon the 221st, a politically saavy man who has come out on top of many a revolution, stares out of the window. He takes in the beautiful sight of the ITK Royal Navy preparing itself for battle. The entire 4th Fleet is being sent to assault the Terronian Rebels who had somehow snuck through many sub patrols, only to be spotted by a commercial jet that had begun its descent early. The fleet, with its twenty destroyers, five cruisers, and, the flagship of the fleet, the Pride of Itakeitall, a battleship. The fleet departed within hours of the news, with plenty of time to intercept and destroy the unsupported invasion force.
Had the dictator come to the window a few minutes earlier, he would have been able to see the launch of the 1st and 3rd Squadrons, recently refitted and reinforced, but not yet rebased to Terronian. The rebel transports would be slaughtered without even a glimmer of a chance. The two nearest sub patrols, four subs in total, were also making for the transports, which were still several hours out.
However, not all was rosy in this picture. A few miles away, the city of Byblon had almost been bombed. Again, the fact that the two squadrons had been in Itakeitall, rather than supporting the nation of Terronian, had saved the day. Still, the city had extensive ground based weaponry that also contributed to the heavy rebel losses, so even had the planes not been in the area, things would have been fine.
The dictator let his mind wander further, to the land that had caused all this trouble. He sighs, and returns to his desk after the departure of the last warship from the harbor. He signs the order to send the 57th Mechanized Division and the 3rd Armored Corps (OOC: details available on size and composition). These elite units have seen much combat, and are the deadliest units in the ITK Military. Their mission: to split the rebel territory in half in a massive drive on the capital. He then signs another order, mobilizing the 39th and 41st Mechanized and the 26th and 58th Conscript divisions. These units will, for the moment, be used to guard the homefront; just in case. Hopefully, he thinks to himself, the government will come to an accord with the rebel forces before things become more violent.
He wonders to himself how an innocent peace keeping mission became a full-fledged war. However, it was clear from the reports of the spies he had long ago infiltrated into the rebel forces that they were losing spirit. All of their nuclear weapons were sabotaged, and they lacked the technical know-how to repair them. Even better was the news that soldiers were deserting in droves, attemtping to reach the capital of Terronian, where ITK peace keepers had prevented any outbreaks of violence, and assured a steady supply of food and services.
Finally, he looked at the reports from the 23rd Mech. They had been infiltrated by suicide bombers, but the damage had been negligible. Apparently, only the 239th, a forward group, had been hit. A few of the truck mounted AA guns, centered in the camp for repair, had been severly damaged or destroyed, but most of the active ones had been spread out throughout the base and were unaffected. The bombs had managed to cause nearly 15% of the thousand man regiment to be declared casualties, but the number of fatalities would be much lower. It appeared that the worst damages were to the unit's tents and personal effects; severe military damage had been avoided through the quick response of the regiment to the alarms. It was still a dangerous situation. After further thought, the dictator put out a secret directive. No civilians were to be brought into the camp of any unit; enemy soldiers who surrendered would have their arms confiscated, would recieve a cash bounty, and would be told to return home and to refuse further service in the rebel army.
Well pleased with his work, the dictator sent off the directives, then retired to his room. A volumptuous and beautiful young lady lay upon the bed, scarcely clothed. As he loosened his tie, he thought to himself, 'Damn... Its good to be the king.'
