I'm pretty sure that both of these guys are one in the same. Either way, have a nice war.

Opening the war, Superpower07 sends in a squad of 15 high-altitude bombers escorted by 5 fighters to target groups of anti-air cannons (gattlling guns and certain anti-missile formations) upon the border of Philipp the Great.

Philipp the Great in retribution for the recent attack on his AA defenses sends in scouts to search for the enemy's assets and decides to send in several MiGs to temporairly stop supplies from reaching the front lines. Some AA was recieved and medium casualties resulted from this. The majority of Philipp The Great's army is preparing itself in defensive positions along the border.

In a defensive maneuver of its own, Superpower07 places 10 Naval carriers and battleships in a strategic manner to prevent a strike on the capital, Superpower, due to Philipp the Great's naval battleships coming in almost striking range on Superpower.

As simple provaction Philipp The Great decides to send one plane to the defensive fleets' location. In the middle of the night the MiG drops one napalm bomb onto an the U.S.S. Daniels catching the fleet unprepared. The Empire also decides to start a propaganda campaign against the major cities of Superpower07. In the depths of the night several high altitude bomber drop leaflets onto its cities offering the assassin of any major political figure a high rank in the military and several millions of USD.

Superpower07 sends a medical team to evacuate and treat the wounded members upon the USS Daniels and a new crew is rotated in. Philipp the Great's propaganda backfires (for the most part), and the peope rally behind the President even more. Also, a 200,000-strong batallion of troops, led by 20 Green Berets, including 100 tanks, bradley fighting vehicles and hummers begin the primary assault upon another similarly-sized and equiped batallion of Philipp the Great, after a missile strike is made upon the army's defensive positions. However Superpower07 does expect certain missiles to be shot down by the anti-missile system.

As the main fighting group of Superpower07 advances ambushes and guerilla warfare have been ordered by his supreme highness Philipp the Great. All of the advanced sniper teams have been spread out over the terrain that the enemy will cover. Since there has been considerable tension between the two countries the borderlands were not very well developed, giving the sniper and guerilla teams good cover. Some long range ballistic missiles have also been launched against the approaching enemy, yet 75% of all missiles that are ready will be used when the conflict is more evolved and the enemy is closer, resulting in more accurate hits. Many MiGs and some F-15s have been launched during the night in order to disrupt supply lines and take out camps. Also one missile that was fired at the defenses of Philipp the Great hit a camp in which a meeting of several officers was being held. Casualties of this missile were 2 senior officers, 20 junior officers, and about 30 guards. One of the senior officers killed, Gen. Thomas was one of the most beloved officers in the last 20 years and many soldiers are infuriated with his loss. Quoting one junior officer, Lt. Hanks: "Those democratic bastards will pay 20 times the loss of what we experienced last night." The rallied army waits patiently for a slightly weakened Superpower07 to appear on the horizon. Then the major battle of the century will begin.

The guerrilas and main fighting force clash, both sustaining heavy casualties. Tragically 4 of the Green Berets are killed in action. However, the 16 remaining Berets are able to analyze the guerillas' attack patterns. After analyzing Philipp the Great's attacks against Superpower07, they determine that supply lines and their convoys be escorted by F-15 and F-17 fighters, and the convoys are guarded with mobile gattling guns to guard them. The main fighting force maintains its position as to recooperate and gain reinforcements. In a strike of their own, bombers are sent out to harass Philipp the Great's supply lines.

Happy to have temporarily stopped the enemy's forces, his royal majesty orders 10% of the remaining missiles available to be shot at the static camps. Regular sniper teams are also sent to the enemy's camps to randomly pick off guards and anyone else they can find. At any given time 1/3 of all planes are in the air, either protecting the supply lines with their Air to Air missiles or guarding the frontline. Quickly specialized hummers have been issued to protect the supply lines using a rear mounted flare shooter. These flares, often used in airplanes have been adapted for ground use in order to divert heat seeking missiles. Camo factories have begun working triple double over time in order to make defenses less visible to Superpower07's bombers. Artillery has been set up and heavily camoed to shell incoming troops. Some new military vehicles have been purchased recently. Complete list of this soon to come.

Superpower07 decides to halt the land invasion, and decides to begin manufacturing more artillery and weapons. Superpower07's naval shipyards also begin construction upon more battleships and aircraft carriers. Another 400,000 troops are put on alert to possibly be deployed. Since the land invasion tactics do not seem to be working as successfully as hoped, naval tactics are to be implemented. A team of 50 commandos in 10 torpedo boats are depolyed to assault the enemy's carriers and battleships. Within 500 yards of each ship, 2 torpedoes each are shot at the 15-some ships. Though the further distance lessens the torpedos' accuracy, this stragegy has been implemented to cause the most damage to Philipp the Great's navy with the least loss of life to Superpower07.

Because the army of Superpower07 has stopped and is producing weapons his high majesty has put the nations biggest industry, the arms manufacting industry, on high alert and many tanks and mobile artillery are rolling off the lines daily. Also a complete list of the new weapons bought by his high majesty has finally been disclosed.

List of weapons recently purchased from an anonymous seller.

12 Nuclear Submarines
5 Regular Submarines
8 Destroyers
7 Battleships
2 Aircraft Carriers

All of these vessels are about 10 years old. Three ships are being refitted with better weaponry. As soon as these ships are ready the next three will begin upgrading. This project has cost a lot of money but will create a bigger chance of success in the ocean. Two ports are also producing ships, most of them Battleship and Destroyer classes. The first two ships are suspected to be ready within two weeks. Heavy bombardment of these two ports is suspected so heavy AA has been set up.

A minor conflict at sea between two patrolling battleships resulted in a draw with major casualties and a crippled ship on both sides. In light of the recent submarine attacks Destroyers and subs are put on high alert. The entrance to every major port now has a simple yet effective laser defense. At the entrance of the port horizontal lasers were placed every 2 feet. Should an unidentified object pass and trip more than 2 lasers, the object will be blown to pieces.

Massive AA has been ordered to all major bases, ports, and cities. In the cities the patriotic citizens have volunteered to take over AA positions in order to let soldiers concentrate on more important things.

Superpower07 has finished manufacuring the 6 new destroyers, 7 aircraft carriers and 5 battleships, as well as the following new items. In order to prevent another failed ground assault, Superpower begins bombarding the guerilla fighters' and snipers' camps and bases with missiles and artillery from both air and sea.

15 drone fighters equiped with short-range missile launchers sail within striking distance of Philipp the Great's ports, with the intentions to damamge shipyards and prevent supplies from being transerred overseas. It is understood that the majority of drone fighters will never return (shot down), but that is acceptable since the ports will be crippled in the process.

Operation 'Surprise Attack' is put into its final stages before being carried out (the majority of this is kept secret from the enemy; though he finds out bits and pieces he is for the most part lacking intelligence)

Also, a propaganda motion is made towards the people of Philipp the Great, promising the citizens democracy when they are liberated.

Although Superpower07 has made artillery barrages on the guerilla and sniper camps, the country soon finds out that this is highly ineffective, as the camps are not very large. The big camps that did exist have been taken down, and any camp with more than 10 people in it has been ordered to be heavily camouflaged.

Several small special ops teams are put into place behind enemy lines to spy and destroy small targets (i.e. communications pots, etc.).

The focus of this war has turned to the sea, and the arms manufacturing business has responded well to producing ships instead of primarily land based armed forces. Ports are creating many ships, and in light of the recent drone attacks, defenses have been put up to defend against this, further from the port so the drones can be intercepted.

A new battleship, the very powerful and fast U.S.S. Highness has recently left port with a small escort to perform a hit and run attack on the major port of Superpower07. In the dark of night it uses its very powerful guns to shell the port. Even though it only is equipped with 6 guns, these are very powerful and can outrange that of normal ships. Superpower07's port is damaged to an extent, and the U.S.S. Highness and its escort leaves before any enemy ship can respond, except for a sub which damages one of the escort ships badly. The advantage of using the slightly outdated battleship design as opposed to aircraft carriers is that shells cannot be destroyed by anti-air, and there are no casualities because no pilots are shot down. When it returns to its port, affectionatley called "the Den," it is virtually indestructable, as it is covered from every angle by defenses. Several more ships like the U.S.S. Highness are being created.

The propaganda campaign that was started by Superpower07 largely fails because of patriotism. Many people are infuriated by the campaign, because the enemy actually thinks that they can be won through propaganda.

With many new ships under construction, and land and air power also being increased, the shark gains its teeth, the eagle gains a sharper beak, and the tiger gets sharper claws.

Superpower07 has finished constructing another 500 various military vehicles.

Operation 'Surprise Attack' is put into action. This consists of 1 Million soldiers being lead by 2500 total marines, commandos, and green berets (only 50 berets though). There are also 2500 total tanks, bradley fighting vehicles, minesweeper tanks, transports, mobile missile launcher platforms and the like. Accompyaning the ground forces are 200 fighters (F-15,16,117) and bombers. Beginning the attack, missiles and other projectile weapons are shot to bombard any armies within range, and advance teams are sent out to hunt down guerilla and sniper units. Supply lines are kept well guarded to prevent them from being overwhelmed. This major ground assault has caught Philipp the great off guard.

Also, spies are sent on a sabotage mission against the USS Highness, "the nest" and the USS Highness models which are in production. The will probably succees 3/8 of the way before their cover is blown and they must return to Superpower07.

A bunker buster is dropped upon a major military and political compound in the capital of Philipp the Great, in hopes of killing high-ranking officials.

But Superpower07 has not forgot about the sea war. Battleships are constantly on the alert and fighters are patrolling them 24/7.

The recent massive attack was unexpected. However his royal highness has responed quiet well to the attack. Moving a million people in a small area has dire consequences. Because everything is so close together, bombs, missiles, and shells are more effective than usual. Five bombers equipped with MOAB (Massive Ordinance Air Burst) bombs, as seen in the recent Iraq conflict, are sent each night to bombard the enemy's camps. These bombs, which explode above the ground and are therefore more deadly, have a blast radius of one kilometer, which causes massive destruction. However it is not a nuclear based weapon, but rather an extremely effective conventional bomb. One to two bomber losses are expected from these bomb runs.

The unexpected barrage of missiles, bombs and shells on Philipp the Great's front lines has effectively knocked out some major defenses. However the holes are quickly being filled up, and more is added to make everything safer. With the anti-air divisions of his army armed to their teeth, his highness hopes to stop any major long range ballistic attack.

The front lines of this war has now turned into a battle of guerilla and sniper warfare. His highness's troops have a slight advantage, as they have been in this terrain harrassing the enemy's troops for quiet some time.

The Arms Manufacturing business, under heavy guard, continues to produce massive amounts of weapons, whether land, water, or air.

On the Highness two sailors discovered one of Superpower07's agents trying to sabotage the ship. The agent was able to shoot one of the sailors before either realized what was going on, but the other was able to capture the agent. Both sailors were given the Emperor's Cross, the highest award that one can recieve in the military. The agent was persuaded to talk, and all agents, four in total, were captured. For the moment the battleships were safe. However, 75 of the emperor's personal guard were sent to every major ship. These include the Highness, but also the three recently finished battleships USS Emperor, USS Royal, and the USS Wolverine. Each have a "den" similar to that of the USS Highness.

Four destroyers were also finished. At this time all ships recently bought have been fully upgraded.

The USS Emperor and Royal were sent out, along with an escort and added to the bombardment of Superpower07's troops. This time a guard of two smaller battleships and three destroyers picked up the attack and began an assult. After a quick skirmish the damages were as follows:

Philipp the Great: one escort mortally wounded, two damaged, back turret of the Emperor blown up.
Superpower07: one destroyer mortally wounded, one battleship with heavy damge, other ships take light damage

Both sides limp back to their bases for repairs.

Tensions approach breaking point. All divisions of the armed forces are ready. Many citizens have volunteered for service, with the promise that they will be rewarded greatly.
As mentioned before, 1/3 of the air force is in the air at any given time.
