The former government of Zarbia has been overthrown. Zarbia is now in a power struggle between three parties.

First is the Zarbian Fascist Movement, a group that promotes the fascist system. Led by Nicholas Lenur, they believe in a strong sense of nationalism and support racism.

Secondly, a Democratic group has holed themselves up in a former government building on the north side of the capital. Not much is known at the present time, but we suspect that they are trying to contact either foreign nations or whatever of the Zarbian Army is left.

Finally, large groups of armed citizens have been spotted, many carrying red flags. Leaders haven not been identified, but the Reds have been observed clashing with some members of the ZFM.

Since the assassination of ex-president Yvan Eskle nine hours ago, Zarbia has gone into a nation wide panic. The army is scattered, riots are occurring everywhere throughout the nation and people are fleeing their homes as skinheads from the ZFM take the streets.

Ayla Topolos,
Zarbian News Network.

OOC: So basically here guys you have 3 sides you can choose to support. I myself sort of want the fascists to win because I think it would be extremely interesting. Now, GO FOR IT!

Phrudland supports the Democratic Group.

We will give them whatever help they need and is within our ability.

-Minister for Foreign Affairs

Hey this is my first post.

Anyway this nation is for those democratic guys in the former government building. As i type this millitary advisors are being sent there.

We request to find out where the main support of Zarbian citizens lies before taking any action. We do support the democratic group, however we do have a policy not to get involved with civil wars...

OOC: I'll give you the stats on all the parties.

IC:

At the moment, The ZFM has the most soldiers, simply because they have been around the longest. The nation has become increasingly racist, as lately, immigrants have been entering in waves. The crime rate has gone up and many jobs are being taken by these aliens. Now with the government in shambles, the ZFM has decided to take action and attempt to establish their own government.

The Democrats are another political party that did not win the last elections. They are hiding in an old government building, because they do not have control over any soldiers. They are trying to contact whoever will help them, because they want to restore the nation to peace.

The Commies want to get power and have taken to the streets to combat their enemies, the ZFM. They are quite unorganized, as most of their soldiers are spread out.

Most of the citizens are fleeing north and south because that is where the conflict has not reached yet. These two regions are on slight panic, but the real fighting is in the capital. Most of the citizens are confused and only want the war to end, they do not know the entire situation, so they cannot really support any of the 3 groups.

I forgot to mention some things..

The army will take no effect in this for now because there is no leadership. They themselves do not know what they could do, and the leaders are all missing.

Some police are attempting to end the conflict, but to no avail. The rest have fled.

A courier, obviously of non-Zarbian descent, comes before the holed up Democrats, bearing a message from abroad...

Task Force Zarbia, sent three weeks ago (OOC: RP Time), began to cruise 75km off the Zarbian coast. Their mission had been to collect evidence of political disunity and corruption, and a possibly aid in the help in the rise of a non-rascist fascist network, based on heirarchy, but on the manifestation of the individual.

The task force -- composed of 3 Model class Aircraft Carriers, 5 Rommel class Battleships, 2 Halder class Pocket Battleships, 20 Seydlitz class Cruisers, 20 Clauswitz class Frigates and 15 Manstein class Destroyers -- began to set ready for war.

Sending a communique back to Madrid, Macabea, asking for a contigent of troops in the upcomming war, and a green light for the invasion, they waited. Soon after Madrid replied giving them the green and promising them a Marine division of 20,000 Marines. Two MMA-C1 Bombers lifted off the HES Taragonna Carrier and got withing 30km of the Zarbian coast, firing four cruise missile at coastal installations. This could go one of two ways: 1) The army surrenders to Macabee power; or 2) The army would fight back. Either way it was unknown.

OOC: Dude, if you're attacking the coast, then you're pretty much killing civilians.

In the capital:

A squad of ZFM soldiers have located the building in which the Democrats are hiding. Three of them throw molotov cocktails through the windows, which are blown out in seconds.

Captain Borin Trotzig, of the ZFM, watches as his men shoot pointlessly at the enemy building, before establishing contact with his superiors, through two way radio.

"General Kristof, I have located the enemy base of operations. With assistance, it may be possible to flush them out."

"Very well, captain, what do you need?" Came the General's reply.

"A squad of one hundred men and heavy weapons team should do it, sir."

"Give me your location, and they will be on their way."

Captain Boswell fought to keep his balance as the building was rocked by three consecutive explosions. He had an idea what caused the explosions; the clatter of automatic weapons that followed confirmed it. They’d been found.

“Savior One, Savior One,” he called into his radio, “under siege...”

Meanwhile, in the skies over Zarbia’s capital...

“...under siege, repeat, under siege...” crackled over the radio into Savior One’s ear. He’d hoped it wouldn’t come to this. But his flight of four JF-34 Hammerheads had been put on station to respond to just this occasion. Silently slamming the left rudder pedal, he came to bear on the base of the democratic faction, his flight in tow.

He saw that the building was indeed under siege, with reenforcements coming up fast. They might be a problem for the half-dozen special operations men inside the building. Might, however, was the operative word; those reinforcements wouldn’t make it. At that moment he began his strafing run, cutting loose with one of the rocket pods under his right wing...

Battleship HES Aranjuez began to prepare and fired four cruise missiles at the Democratic headquarters, coordinates given by the fascist besiegers, when radio ties where transmitted. Then, instead of the Marine division promised, the 1st Foreign Legion division was landed, 10,000 strong.

As the landing was underway no resistance was found and several citizens were found dead due to the Macabee bombardment of the coast earlier.

But now, the troops were ready to link up with the fascist armies and finally instill a fascist regime.

We fear that the chaos will result in a government counter to Tyrandisan interests.

The ZFM will definitely become a rogue nation, if they are allowed to take power. They will commit genocide, make war, and develop weapons.

As human beings, Tyrandis cannot allow this to pass.

The Armed Forces of the Republic will deploy the 65th Ranger Battalion to stop the rise of the ZFM.

-Marcus Quentin, Director of Foreign Affairs

Force Deployment:

65th Ranger Battalion
20x Squads of 12 SOF Rangers, equipped with AIW rifles (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=122046&highlight=)
15x Stryker APC/Mobile Combat Platforms
5x Medical Stryker variants
10x "Nightwing" dropships
15x F-18 Hornet Multi-Purpose Fighters

Captain Trotzig sits on a segment of collapsed wall. He could rest, the enemy wasn't going anywhere soon. Suddenly, a huge explosion rocked the area, as missiles impacted with the Democrat stronghold. As the smoke clears, Trotzig can see a large portion of the building destroyed. Not knowing if the missiles were meant for him or the Democrats, he yells at his men to get into cover. The radio as his side crackles and he hastily takes it out of his belt.

"Captain, troops requested are mobilized. Estimated time of arrival is in twenty minutes," barked General Chevy Kristoff.

"Thank you, sir. Over and out," replied Trotzig.

A MMA-D1 Reconnaissance Aircraft lifts off the HES Principe de Asturias and begins to fly over the Zarbian capital low. The pilot begins to say:

Fascist brethren of Zarbia. Do not worry, the Macabee Empire is here for you. Our massives navy will force your enemies to bend.



OOC:

Well, if the fascist do take power I plan to have the original leader assassinated and a non-rascist 10 year lond dictatorship in his place. However, after the 10 year regime it would be planned that democracy would take place. The dictatorship is basically to put in a strong regime without throwing the nation into anarchy.

In the distance, trucks can be heard making their way over to Trotzig's position. He stands up slowly and sees them approaching. They finally stop, and squads of men jump out, running towards Trotzig and his men.

"Captain? Here are your troops requested, sir. A squad of one hundred and a heavy weapons team, all accounted for."

"Very good, Private. Now, get your troops together. Order half of them to surround the building, the rest, come with me, we're going to flush out the enemy." said Trotzig.

At that moment, he hears planes overheard and a comforting message.

"At least we have some allies." he says.

As half the squad surrounds the building, Trotzig, motions the remained soldiers to stay close to the door, but in cover. He tells the Heavy Weapons team something quietly and they procede to place charges on the thick wooden doors. As they run away from the doors, they are blown apart and the rest of the troops charge into the enemy building...

BUMP!

The Foreign Legion began to advance towards the capital...

One week before this battle...[i]

The Nation of New Gin Rummy offers support to the Democratic Faction of Zarbia,200,000 soldiers and three naval vessels are on their way to Zarbia to aid you.
Emperor Raymond Tyler of New Gin Rummy

[i]Present time..

"Admiral Nelson,Macabee vessels have been spotted on radar!,"yelled a crew member standing at the radar screen.

"We may have to engage in combat...make sure General Welsch and his soldiers get to shore,"the admiral replied.At that moment one of the ships broke away heading towards shore so the soldiers could reach Zarbia.

It may be kinda noobish..but it's my first time

Tex III entered the room. "What is on the agenda today, general O'brien?"

"The Zarbian Civil War."

"Send in 40,000 to aid the democrats. Jumpships should be flown into space to reach there."


A couple hours later:

The 2,000 jumpships (20 troops each) reach the capital. The doors open, and they prepare to have the 20 troops in them shoot out of them with their CMMG-200's. When they do, they shoot at every possible man they can hit that is part of the ZFM. A good 10 of the jumpships go initially around the democrats building, shooting with the mini-guns of the jumpships at the perimeter, as well as the troops. They continue to shoot the opposition, in an attempt to rescue the democrats.

U-90 was radiod the positions of the incoming naval fleets, thought to be enemies since no telegram was received prior to their deployment (OOC: my radar can track at 600km away...100km more than standard US radar). It immerged and halted. Locating the positions of the enemy fleet it began to load its TASM missiles, 20 in all. Then is radioed its position to other U-boats in the area, ready to fight... finally - it fired all 20 TASM missiles at the larger ship, probably an aircraft carrier.

OOC: You technically do not know it was me who attacked me, since I'm about 400km away.. you have probably catched me on radar, but can't really do anything about it with such small assets... the best thing would be to withdraw and rondevouz with a larger escort fleet; because frankly four or three ships would be mauled. (Just constructive critizism)

How the recon. aircraft got over the capital was a shock. The enemy had NO surface to air missiles AT ALL! However, Spain would use it to her advantage...

Troops 20km away from the capital, 10,000 in all, saw some troops, with San Tex. uniforms paradropping into the city. Air was called upon immediately and 50 MMA-B1 aircraft (ground attack) came up to attack.

It was brutal; troops already on the ground were strafed and then cluster bombs dropped over their heads.

But this wasn't the end! No! The Macabee Battleship HES Olmeda was quick to use positions given by the aircraft to fire four Maverick missiles at San Tex. army positions.

OOC:Yes,I'm aware of that,my country just didn't know of the large naval threat you had until they spotted you.

"Admiral,they have launched missiles,we're being engaged by the enemy!"

"Try and hold them off until General Welsch makes it to land!"

55 of the F-14' launched into the air after the order was issued,they were given specific orders to try and shoot down any incoming missiles or planes.

OOC: You're going to need an anti-missile to shoot down a TASM..although slow, they aren't THAT slow.

IC:

Getting a closer look at periscope level U-90 was able to get within 100km of the destroyer going with the fleet. Risking destruction it attempted to get within 3,000 meters... However, it would not go straight to it, it went through a diagonal track hoping to "ambush" the destroyer.

OOC: Jumpship troops don't normally paradrop. In this case, the side doors opened, and they shot out from in the ship. Also, they make flyovers, and go up every once and a while for safety. Paradroping is waaay too dangerous for us. (Note: We learned this is past conflicts) Basically, it's like bees swarming around the capital. 2,000 bees. With 21 bullets able to come out of them at a time...

As soon as a few missiles managed to slip by the planes,the guns opened fire on the missiles 4 of them went down but one still managed to hit the carrier's deck.

"Admiral,we're starting to take damage from the missiles!,"one of the crew men yelled.

"General Welsch has safely landed on the shore!,"another one yelled out from the radio room down the hall.

"Ok men!Let's go home for reinforcements,we're obviously outnumbered here!,"the admiral said as 'The Mission' rejoined the three ships.

On 'The Timeline'

"Captain,a submarine has been detected on radar."

"Get some torpedos in the water damn it!,"he yelled from the bridge.

Meanwhile,on the deck, the crew was preparing the torpedos and depth charges(just in case).They would be able to fire in 30-45 seconds.

OOC:Sorry if it seems like I'm god modding to keep my ship alive...like I said,I'm new at this.

As his troops enter the building, Captain Trotzig hears gunfire from behind him and whips around. He sees ZFM soldiers hitting the ground, but no enemies.

"Shit! They're shooting from above!" He snatches the two way radio from his belt and contacts General Kristof.

"Sir! We are being attacked. We're heavily outnumbered and need support, over."

Kristof replied. "Damnit soldier, I thought this was going to be quick. How many do you need? I can't spare too many. Bloody communists are putting up more resistance than I thought they would."

"As many as possible, but sir, please send them as soon as possible."

"Hold them back. Reinforcements will be there whenever they can. Over and out."

Trotzig yells at the ZFM soldiers to either take cover or get inside the building. With that, he advances into the building behind his own troops. He follows them upstairs, weapon at the ready. He waits until the soldiers proclaim this floor clear and then heads up to the third and final floor. The fascists clear every room until they reach a final one. One of the soldiers tries kicking it in, but the door won't budge. Trotzig runs in front of him and speaks.

"You, use your shoulder, break the door in. The rest of you, don't shoot unless you are shot at. We may need these people for later."

With that he breaks the door handle off with two swings of his gun. He motions for the soldier to hit the door and backs away. The fascist takes a deep breath and throws himself at the door...

At that moment,New Gin Rummy's soldiers arrived at the scene.Led by General Kyle Welsch,they made their way through the capital city towards the democrat faction's aid.They could see the San Tex. soldiers parachuting from the sky."men,we've arrived..,"the general shouted from the front of the front of the army.

The door is knocked inwards and ZFM soldiers rush in, pointing their guns. Trotzig sees about twenty men, all dressed in suits and all unarmed.

"Put your hands behind your head and keep quiet. If you try to escape, you will be killed. You are now our hostages." Trotzig said loudly.

OOC: For all of you who have been casually walking through the capital, it's very unsafe there. There are ZFMers and Commies everywhere, riots, looters, etc.

The 10 jumphips see that the troops have gone inside. A pilot yells on the radio for orders, and calls for reinforcments of another 10 jumpships. The current ten land in a perimeter around the democrat building, and the bullet-proof doors facing the outside close, but five little holes for guns open in each.
A couple minutes later
10 more jumpships arrived with men in them. they land within the perimeter, and the troops await orders from inside.
Meanwhile:
"How are our troops doing?" said Tex III.
"They are swarming the capital successfully, sir." said General Greg Thantanos.
"Do you think we should send any more?" said Tex.
"No, the ones we sent are doing fine, but we have another 20,000 troops at the ready. But, at this stage in time, I don't think we should use any S/A forces." replied Thanatos.
"Good. This might escalate general. Tighten security on the CCT mainland city. I don't want any Non-midlandian people in my area." ordered Tex
"Yes sir," Said Thanatos, and he walked out of the room.

OOC: Besides ZFMers and Commies, where they are, there are lots of bullets raining down from the sky...

"I want an equipment team there to retake them. Intelligence says that they have hostages. I want three jumpships there on the double. I want IR goggles, explosives, the works." said Tex.
"Yes sir," said the General.
Under an hour later:
Three jumpships arrive at the capital, and land silently on the democrat building. The special forces captain radios to the ground crew, "We are here on top. I want you to see if we can shoot through what the building is made of now. Mabye we can save these hostages without them knowing what hit their captors."
A soldier propped up a broken off piece of the building. He shoots, and it crumbles before him, due to how small it was. "Yes sir, we can shoot through it.
The special ops captain ordered for the IRS goggles, and they looked in. Seeing through the cold walls with the IRS's, they see men surrounding a good twenty men. Captain Johnson (special ops captaion) inferred that the hostages were democrats. He ordered for them to ready their guns. each aiming at a man, and all the hostage-takers covered. "Awaiting orders," he said to his long range radio...

The Ranger squads parachute out of the dropships in dead of night, and set up equipment within minutes of hitting the ground. The elite soldiers form up into their squad units, and receive the same orders from their squad leader:

"Our objective is to stop the Zarbian Facist Movement from taking power in the nation. Squads FALCON-1 through FALCON-10 will engage in direct Special Operations Warfare against ZFM insurgents. Squads FALCON-11 through FALCON-15 will make contact and support Red troops in operations against ZFM targets, and squads FALCON-16 through FALCON-20 will support the Democratic faction in combat against ZFM forces.

Units engaging ZFM insurgents directly will move to coordinate ALPHA, as highlighted on your GPS. Units acting in support of resistance factions will move to coordinate RED or coordinate BLUE. F/A-18 fighters will act in support of ground operations.

Rangers lead the way. All the way!"

After receiving their briefing, the Rangers move out to the objectives, preparing to stop the facists and their allies at any cost...

News broadcast signal hacked into by the Techies at the CCT of San Texario's government building:
"This is president Tex III. I am issuing a warning to the ZFM. You have two days to stop your action against the democrats and communists. Let me warn you, we will go to any length to destroy your movement. If you do not surrender in 48 hours, we will use more force than we already are. All supporters of the fascist movement are also asked to stop."
End Broadcast. ::Station turns to broadcast snow::

Later on,General Welsch joined up with the San Texario military leaders in command,the plan about shooting through the roof,then General Welsch offered to bring his troops through the building right after the fighting breaks off,he awaits the answer from the San Texario leader.

Later on,General Welsch joined up with the San Texario military leaders in command,the plan about shooting through the roof,then General Welsch offered to bring his troops through the building right after the fighting breaks off,he awaits the answer from the San Texario leader.

The Private who had brought reinforcements before, Lars Ulvin by name, watched as three dropships with foreign markings hovered over the enemy building. Ulvin and his soldiers were bunkered down between trees and ruined buildings, trying to avoid enemy fire. They weren't getting hit at the moment, but he knew that they wouldn't be safe for much longer. He watched as what had to be soldiers were lowered from the dropships onto the building. He cursed and took his two-way radio out of his belt.

"Captain, do you read me? Captain?" he tried, but only static was heard.

He stood up, trying to get as high as he could without getting into enemy line of fire and tried again.

"Captain Trotzig, do you read me?"

"Private?" came the reply, crackled but clear enough.

"Sir, the enemy have deployed soldiers on top of your position. I repeat, the enemy have deployed soldiers on top of your position."

"I copy. Thank you, Private. We will take care of it immediately." said Captain Trotzig.

"I copy. Over and out sir, over and -"

But Ulvin could not finish his sentence as the enemy bullets found their mark and snatched his life away. His lifeless body hit the ground and his radio fell and bounced, to land two four feet away.

Back in the hostage room, Trotzig held up his hand to silence everyone.

"Men, I have received a message that the enemy is above us. We are going to slowly make our way back down to the first floor. It will be much safer down there. I don't know what their plans are, but we should evacuate this area immediately. If the prisoners give you trouble, shoot them. Now, let's go."

Trotzig and his men began to make their way to the door...

OOC: I've decided to make a map to show you what the situation is like, because it is probably unclear at the moment. It's not huge, but it'll do.

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid104/pb0162e0c0743bd06ed4cf1f7c754845d/f997d584.jpg%20

Another two jumpships set to a hover over the roof. A couple troops take explosives from the special ops. jumpship, and put them under where their jumpships hover. The jumpships raise altitude, and they get ready to blow the explosives.
"HEY!" Said the special op leader, "They are moving. Blow that section of roof in, and I want all forty of you to go down your ropes ASAP once we shoot the hostage takers. You, I want you to radio the guys at the bottom. Tell the reinforcments to prepare to get in there and start shooting."
With that, he gave the order, and they shot at all the hostage takers, who they could see with their guns through the roof. The other teams triggered the explosives, and the roof inside their range turned to dust. They drop in, and go to the democrats, shooting all enemies in the way. The special ops captain calls on the radio for the raid to start, and then the 60 special ops go down the 40 ropes that were lowered into the building.
The raid against the ZFM begins.

OOC: Ok so ignore my first attack on you..I didn't understand..

IC:

Finally the Macabee air force got up and running. The fascist began to relay unit information through radio, provided by recon. aircraft running over before the San Tex. army units arrived.

Thus, soon after 50 MMA-B1 (ground attack) aircraft lifted off and headed toward the capital. There, the aircraft began to empty their 30mm guns, cluster bombs, and mavericks on the San. Tex troops on the ground.

Not only this but 200 MMA-A1 Kondors (air superiority) began to circle the air to search for San Tex. jump ships....

"Shit,first their navy then their airforce...they may be more powerful than we thought...nevertheless,we must get into that building!,"General Welsch yelled to about 35 men he chose to rush through the building,they were to enter through the wall that was broken by the cruise missiles."Let's give 'em hell!,"he shouted as the force ran into the broken down building to attack the Fascists and ZDF members inside.

OOC: What is wrong with the picture I posted?

IC:

A large explosion is heard behind them, and Trotzig quickly glances behind him to see the ceiling collapse. He sees soldiers sliding down on ropes and stops to shoot at them.

"Everyone, FIRE!" he hollers.

He begins shooting at the men, and then turns around, seeing that they are outnumbered and begins to run.

"GET DOWNSTAIRS!" he yells.

All of the soldiers begin to run down towards the first floor. Finally, the surviving ZFM troops reach the ground floor and one of them runs to the front door to see what the situation is like.

"Oh shit. Captain, enemy reinforcements are coming, and they're coming quick."

Trotzig suddenly felt defeated. He hadn't expected to be caught in between two enemy forces. He took a deep breath and readied himself for what was sure to be his last shootout.

"Listen men," he said as he heard thudding noises from upstairs as the enemy advanced through the building. "I guess I led you wrong this time. I'm sorry, but at least we have the satisfaction of knowing that we'll die with honor, taking some of the foreign filth with us."

All the soldiers nodded and pulled their weapons closer to their bodies. There were about forty-five or so ZFM soldiers left in this building and twelve Democrat survivors. He walked over to the remaining four concious Democrats and beat them over the head with his machine-gun.

"Let's do this boys. Half of us will take the stairs, the other half, the door. Now, get ready."

He took another deep breath and waited.

From outside came the noise of trucks and vehicles. Then, machine gun fire. A soldier peered outside and saw ZFM trucks blocking them from the approaching enemy soldiers. He gave a gasp of relief and turned towards the others. One word rolled off his tongue.

"Reinforcements."

As the trucks stopped infront of General Welsch and his soldiers another 200 or so appeared from ruins of broken down buildings around the area,most carried standard issue AK-47's and IW-80 A2's,but a few brandished rocket launchers,the real trouble arrived when 10 tanks rolled around the corner."We will get into that building at all costs!"the general shouted,"Let us pass and you will be spared!"

Update on Macabee forces in his nation:

200,000 Infantry gathering close to the coast
2,000 (mixed) Armor
10,000 (mixed) Artillery Guns


Preparing to set up air strips to put full air cover.
Preparing to sorround the capital and rout out all enemy resistance

OOC:You are a very good strategist Macabee

As the fights on land carried on,the three naval vessels from New Gin Rummy was still in a battle with a few of the Macabee's ships.The Timeline had launched it's torpedos at the submarine not too far away from it,but a hit was still not confirmed.The Sony and The Mission had begun their retreat but were still taking heavy missile fire.

OOC: Thanks! lol..I forgot the number of my sub..oh well..

IC:

U-[blank] began to dive, however the enemy response was faster than thought and two torpedoes struck the hull at the rear, tearing off the propellers in the back, opening the sub to water.

Kapita-Leutnant Malzagar began to order to immerge before the U-boat drowned and its entire crew, of over 100 souls died with it. As it came up out of the water Malzagar raised a white flag, however another torpedo ripped into the top hatch, killing Malzagar and sending the sub again under water, forcing the u-boat to drown..the entire crew went with it...

[300km away...]

The battleship HES Manzanilla quickly picked up the pulsating sonars seeing its own sub. It was a big plight but the battleship would help. Quickly, 30 Mavericks were fired towards the enemy fleet, towards their largest ship, maybe an aircraft carrier.


[800km away..]

Ten supply ships are coming near to re-supply the naval forces in the area...

OOC:I started laughing when the second torpedo hit..hehe,and I believe it was U-90


The Sony was quick to respond to the last wave of missiles,however too many of them got past and managed to hit the deck and hull,leaving a large hole in the side of the ship,it was sinking...slowly..but it was sinking.Admiral Nelson ordered all hands to abandon ship,nearly half of the crew went down,but most of them made it onto The Mission which was now farther up the coast and out of range along with The Timeline.

Upon reaching OBJECTIVE BLUE, the five Ranger squads see a chaotic melee involving the armed forces of multiple nations.

"Shit," cursed SSG Richard Tiran. "Alright, it looks like we're a bit late to the party... Intel says the Democrats are stuck in that building, over there. Our mission is to conduct search and rescue operations, then immediately move to extraction point SAVIOR. FALCON-16 and FALCON-17 will distract ZFM forces with RPG and small arms fire. FALCON-18 and FALCON-19 will enter from the north entrance, and FALCON-20 will sneak around to the back. Do not engage any targets other than ZFM forces unless fired upon, repeat, DO NOT ENGAGE ANY NON-ZFM TARGETS. Move out!"

The Rangers then silently depart for the building complex, weapons at the ready...

"GP loaded..." whispered a Ranger, moments before releasing the explosive payload against a ZFM tank.

Under grenade launcher cover, the teams move into the building...

In a lightning campaign, through pretty much ambivelent countryside, the Macabee forces sorrounded the Zarbian capital with all the prowess needed in a military... artillery began to fire leaflets to enemies...


Surrender, the Macabee Empire has you sorrounded. If you decide not to we will destroy your forces!


[/i]

OOC: Sorry crappy post..dont have time...

"Men,we stand and fight!"General Welsch shouted as he ran into the ruins along with his troops.This would provide cover for them as they launched rockets and fired upon the enemy artillery,however,they were at a major disadvantage and seemed to be outnumbered here,but if they could get back to their main camp of troops and mobilize,they may stand a chance.

The tank that is shot at bursts into flames. ZFM soldiers jump out of the truck and begin firing at the Tyrandis soldiers. A tank emerges from the direction that the ZFMers came from and lines its cannon up with the Tyrandis grenade launcher grew. The crew fires and watches the destruction they created.

Confident that the reinforcements could deal with the ground force enemies, Trotzig turns his attention back to the stairs. Why is everything so quiet? What is going on up there? If nothing happens for a while, he is going to leave the area and take cover.

The troops formerly under Private Lars Ulvin stay hidden in the ruins and trees. They watch as New Gin Rummy soldiers go past them. They don't seem to notice the ZFMers! Seeing this as a chance to attack the enemy from behind and possibly weaken them, the Zarbians open fire on the New Gin Rummy soldiers, smiling at the havoc they wreak.

"We're being overwhelmed!We need aid!"General Welsch shouted into a radio as him and most of his troops turned around to fire at the ZMFers behind them.

On the northern coast,it was all clear.The two remaining ships from the original three were stocked with cruise missiles which were clearly going to be used.Both of the ships locked hte coordinates and began to fire two cruise missiles each.

The ZMFers didn't see it coming,the cruise missiles hit taking out nearly one third of there trucks and the troops around them."There's more where that came from!"the General cried.

will send in 500 million pamphlets for the war effort :)

An enormous explosion rocked the area, sending trucks and soldiers flying. The ZFM reinforcements began firing at the New Gin Rummy soldiers.

Trotzig looked out the doorway and saw the reinforcements getting shot down. He shook his heas furiously and waited.

Farther into the capital:

The ZFM forces in the capital, led by Jeof Danz press on, gunning down the communist forces. There were few of them left now, they were simply too unorganized and untrained, red flags littered the city streets.


OOC: Where's The Macabees when you need him??!!

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid104/pb0162e0c0743bd06ed4cf1f7c754845d/f997d584.jpg

If the damn thing doesn't work, just go to properties, then get the URL and copy and paste it into the address thing..

OOC:Haha....are the cruise missiles really that devastating?

IC:

New Gin Rummy's forces were quick to retailiate against the ZFD fighters,a few rocket launchers fired off into the crowds which made them start to scatter.This made it harder to kill them,but General Welsch's forces were still getting the job done.

When the reinforcments started arriving, the troops called for aid. No sooner, the aid came. This time, 5,000 jumpships with a total of 100,000 troops. They all went down and used the swarming jumpships. Also, they had the Gruntis satellite go into orbit if the situation got too bad. But, they found a use.
Gruntis Satellite:
Equipped with 10 mini-neutron bombs.
Function:
Bombs explode in a contained space, and the EMP is released to a form molded by the dish on it. Can take out and entire city with one blast.

They used the Gruntis and targetted the Macabee navy, taking out power on the ships.

A large amount of troops, 800 in all, went to support the units at the democrats building. They landed on the outside, except for about 80 of them, who dropped in on the roof to join the others. They stormed the ground floor, trying to take out ZFM forces.
Meanwhile, other jumpships took as many shots at ZFM forces as humanly possible. They don't want this to rage into a non-civil war.

"AAHRGH!" screamed the soldier, hit by shrapnel from the tank round.

"Someone get that man a medic!" ordered SSG William Viris, immediately ducking down and loading his own RPG. "Team, launch smoke grenades!" Immediately, the Rangers fire a volley of smoke grenades at the ZFM soldiers, enveloping them in a gray mass of smog.

"Snipers, kill anyone who tries to escape! Squad, open fire!" The small team of soldiers open fire at the mass of smoke with RPGs and 7.62 mm fire.

Meanwhile, in the south entrance of the building complex...

"This is FALCON-20, we're entering the target from the woods." whispered SSG James Wallsworn into his radio, moments before hearing a gigantic explosion nearby. "SHIT! What the hell was that?"

Upon investigation, they find a battlefield littered with the corpses of ZFM combatants and soldiers of an unknown nation.

[San Texorio's Attack]

OOC Destruction:

1 Battleship; HES Alcazar
2 Cruisers
1 Aircraft Carriers

Response

As the San Tex. jumpships were caught 500km off in Macabee radar 500 MMA-A1 Air Superiority "Kondors" went into the air, using constructed airbases in the country. They began to speed towards the incoming air armada and when they met they first fired their entire selections of Sidewinders (four each aircraft...meaning 2,000) and then headed back to the airfields, not wanting to get into a prolonged dogfight.

On the ground, once the remaining jumpships came into range SAMs opened up (OOC: your aircraft are EXTREMELY vulnerable... your aircraft are in range of small arms fire for God's sake).

_______________________

To: San Texorio
From: The Macabees

If your nation does not pay for the destruction of our ships and leaves Zarbian territory IMMEDIATELY your small nation will feel the full brunt of the Macabee Empire, meaning the declaration of TOTAL WAR. This is a threat. The actions you have taken to further the pursuit if your petty ideologies will not be slapped aside. The Empire has decided to take a stand. Make your decision.

[signed]Finegold IV

__________________________

OOC:

So basically the following has happened:


The Macabee ring has installed full sets of SAM batteries to prevent the entering of foreign air vessels.
The Macabee navy in the area is about to increase, by large numbers, mainly to deal with San Texorio if he decides to stand up to me; thus meaning Zarbia might have a new fascist neighbor (once I change the regime).
The Macabee Air Force is also to increase.


So basically, San Tex. indiscrimanate use of those weapons has forced the full brunt of the Macabee Wermacht into Zarbia for further operations in the region.

Four B-1s took off from Macabee Air Base Z1, 75km south of the Zarbian capital city. It got within 50km and fired a total of thirty cruise missiles at the San Tex., Tyrandis and NGR troop concentrations....

[Operation Golden Fleece]

3km off the Zarbian coast U-30 and U-31 emmerged from the water. Quickly, they fired off forty converted TASM anti-ship missiles (OOC: converted into cruise type missiles). Then, each one released two rubber inflatable crafts which took a total team of 20 soldiers, fully garbed; once of which looked like an officer.

Later on,more of New Gin Rummy's naval fleet was arriving in the area which would provide a better chance at neutralizing the Macabee naval threat,they also brought building materials and reinforcements.Soon,NGR will have their own base set up much like the Macabee's.

Pretty soon more of my fleet will arrive....

On a couple of OOC notes:
My jumpships weren't flying towards the navy.
I have not even used my airforce yet.
I can take out your SAM's easily
IC:
The Gruntis II, recently launched, has been placed in orbit, near the Gruntis I, above Zarbia. All jumpships are retreating to space.

I call to a compromise. A demcratic regime with different parties:
Democrats, very US-like
Facists, which have control over nation, but can be elected against
Communists, elected with communist government

Macabees:
I do not wish to result this into a war, but I was retaliating on you firing on my ships first.

OOC: So, New Gin Rummy, are we going to agree that the troops that were in the woods killed eachother and they're are some injured ones lying around? Your soldiers didn't see it coming, so I think it would be fair..

The building where Trotzig & company are hanging out in was attacked by cruise missiles earlier. The damage mostly occurred on the second and third floor, but the first floor has little damage. Someone cannot enter through the first floor where it was attacked. ALSO, Tyrandis. I think you are approaching the building from the side of where it was attacked, but I'm not completely sure. You gotta let me know.

IC:

Captain Borin Trotzig of the ZFM felt his stomach turn as he heard movement from upstairs. Suddenly, an explosion from his right makes him turn his head. He peeked through a small hole in the wall and saw movement amongst the trees. He cursed under his breath and formulated his next plan.

The reinforcements that had come took cover behind the trucks on the side closest to the building. The were taking pot shots from behind the trucks and trying to hold their own until more soldiers came.


In the capital...

Jeof Danz leads his men through the city, gunning down fleeing Communists. He finally gives the order to end pursuit. It seems that the Reds were all but defeated. The last two hours had proven that the ZFM was much more organized and trained. The Commies had been sent running as overwhelming fascist fire killed them.

(Yes, the Commies are going to rally as many troops as they can and attempt a final strike against the ZFM. Most likely, they'll get their asses kicked.)

OOC: This is considering that I don't move in an additional couple hundred thousand troops. As well as airforce. And also considering that I don't just EMP the capital area to take out Macabee's SAM's.

OOC:When did I have troops in the woods?I have troops on the shore(about 98,000) and I have about 2,000 infront of the building that the democrat prisoners are at....they are still fighting their way to get to the trucks.

Message to All Nations Involved:

San Texorios idea has great appeal in the Macabee lines. We ask that all nations involved in this war, on the ground, retreat to concentrating lines towards the coastal areas; and that the leaders of San Texorio, New Gin Rummy, the Macabees, and leaders of all three Zarbian parties at war meet at the Macabee naval headquarters of the HES Algeciras.

I suggest more of a summit. For example, getting other opinions, and at a neutral area as well...And also, it would be a representitive, as my leader ususally doesn't leave the country...

Admiral Nelson was now commanding from The Timeline ever since the recent sinking of The Sony.As he stood on the bridge watching the coast as the two ships readied more cruise missiles and awaited aid from the rest of the fllet,the message came in.

"Sir,the Macabees wishes for all nations taking part in this,to pull out their ground forces and meet and their naval headquarters"

"It seems like peace may be on its way..get the message to General Welsch,"the admiral replied.

The two-way radio at Borin Trotzig's side crackled and the voice of General Kristof came through.

"Captain. The Macabees, the foreign nation who had aided us in fighting the nations of New Gin Rummy, Tyrandis, and San Texario, is calling for a meeting to decide on the future of Zarbia. I am ordering you to pull back and end stop fighting, for now. We will see what these people have to offer."

Trotzig ground his teeth together.

"Sir, we cannot give in to these people. How will we uphold the honor of Zarbia?" he argued.

"Are you arguing with me soldier? You will do what you are told." said Kristof angrily.

"Sorry sir. I got out of hand on those last remarks."

"I will be there in an hour to represent the ZFM. Wait for me and we will see what the other nations suggest. Over and out."

Trotzig spat on the ground. We have just lost the war, he thought.

The soldiers hiding behind and around the trucks had hold the call for a ceasefire and some of them peeked around to see what was going on.

OOC:

The ZFM are the majority here. They want power, and since the other 2 parties are extremely weak, they have the most power at the moment.

The Democrats are a joke, as only 14 members are still alive. They have absolutely no power, and they are being held by Trotzig. Now, Trotzig is pissed and he has a bunch of enemies at his feet. Who knows what might happen...

The Reds have retreated and are very weak. They will send a representative.

OOC: Didn't I shoot your men through the ceiling then drop in to rescue the Dem's?

With that, he gave the order, and they shot at all the hostage takers, who they could see with their guns through the roof. The other teams triggered the explosives, and the roof inside their range turned to dust. They drop in, and go to the democrats, shooting all enemies in the way. The special ops captain calls on the radio for the raid to start, and then the 60 special ops go down the 40 ropes that were lowered into the building.
The raid against the ZFM begins.

OOC: Well, I did shoot through the roof as you started walking...

"Cease fire soldiers,cease fire!"General Welsch said as he got the message from The Timeline,"We're being called to a cease fire by request of the Macabees,Admiral Nelson is going to meet at their naval HQ while we pull back to the shores."

Yes, you shot at them as they were leaving. Thats why there weren't many left and some of the Democrats died.

OOC: Maccabees, you do know my forces aren't in formations parading around... The Rangers are hiding in the countryside, mostly conducting guerilla operations against ZFM forces.

Two squads are entering toward the first floor, covered by two other squads. Another one is sneaking towards the building through the woods.

IC:

"All soldiers, this is Cmdr. Erich, we have received orders to stand down. Cease fire, as Maccabees has requested peace talks. Repeat, cease fire and stand down!" ordered Lt. Commander Yand Erich, leader of the mission, on the global radio channel.

"SQUADS, CEASE FIRE!" yelled SSG Tiran, having received the orders. "I know we came here to blow shit up, but the politicos are talking... cease fire and abort mission. Repeat, cease fire and abort mission!"

The Rangers cease fire, albeit reluctantly, wanting to continue the destruction.

The HES Algeciras pulled in the makeshift wharf built by the Macabees, in order to re-supply the fleets from Zarbian territory. All crew personnel, including the captain, walked out, as ten Foreign Legionnairres stood guard outside.

Admiral Donetz, began to walk up into the ship. He was the representative for the Macabees.

OOC: We need a location to meet and a stand down of all soldiers.

Borin Trotzig stood in the ruined building, sweat running down his face. He was in charge but for once, didn't know what to do. If his soldiers left the building, they would most likely be gunned down.

OOC: We're meeting in the Algeciras.

OOC: We need a location to meet and a stand down of all soldiers.

Borin Trotzig stood in the ruined building, sweat running down his face. He was in charge but for once, didn't know what to do. If his soldiers left the building, they would most likely be gunned down.

We're meeting in the Algeciras.

The Timeline pulled into the cove alongside the Algeciras and Admiral Nelson stood on the deck facing the Macabee ship."Is this where we are supposed to meet?"

Due to recent international incedent, my I conduct this peace talk by video?

OOC: I'm just act as though all enemy troops have been pulled out of the area of the Democrat building.

A military jeep pulls up and General Kristof steps out.

"Where is Captain Trotzig?" he asks a soldier standing behind a truck.

"I'm here, sir." Trotzig says as he steps out of the building.

"Good. Let's go, now. Bring the hostages."

Kristof's jeep leads the way as one of the trucks brought earlier by the reinforcements carries Trotzig, a handful of soldiers, and the Democrat hostages.

OOC: Sorry for the crappy post.

OOC: Didn't I drop in and rescue the hostages when I raided the building?

No, I don't think so..

Yes, you can do it televised.

OOC: Thank you. It's utter chaos in the CCT (Commonwealth and Controlled Territories) of San Texario City when a major diplomat needs to leave. Oh the security prep!

The truck follows closely behind as the jeep with General Kristof advances towards the meeting area...

Bump.

The jeep stops and the truck kills the engine soon after. General Kristof sits in the jeep, tapping his fingers on the dashboard. The soldier next to him turned and asked:

"Sir, are you sure about this? We could lose so much when we are so close to winning."

"I trust in our allies, The Macabees. They will see that we get a fair deal out of this. Zarbia is destined to be a fascist nation." replied the General.

The soldier nodded and waited.

*tag* Considering we're in the same region we'll have to monitor this.

Alrighty then. Everyone seems to have forgotten about Zarbia.

General Kristof waits in the jeep for more negotiators to arrive.

The President of Adderton suggests that peaceful negotiations can solve your crisis. The President offers the use of his own country (the Dominion of Adderton) as the home of such talks.

The President of Adderton suggests that peaceful negotiations can solve your crisis. The President offers the use of his own country (the Dominion of Adderton) as the home of such talks.

We agree with this and would also offer to mediate the talks.

Using the lull in the peace talks Macabean naval numbers have increased to the following:


15 Battleships
20 Pocket Battleships
20 Cruisers
20 Frigates
40 Destroyers
8 Aircraft Carriers
100 Patrol Boats
30 Minesweepers and Minelayers
70 Nuclear Subs (nuclear propelled) and 20 Diesels


Also apparent are several troops ships. The entire fleet is protected by a SONAR and RADAR reaching 600 nautical miles radius and an active ASW perimeter at the edge of a 800 nautical mile radius.

All enemy ships inside have been targeted for destruction if hostilities should break out.

____________________

Inside the capital political infiltrators have collected some 800,000 pro-fascist citizens from the city and outlying districts and have organized a vote to be held in four days. On the ballot will be the fascist dictator and the others.... of course it is rigged.

OOC: But you don't know it's rigged :roll:

General Kristof does not agree with the peace talks taking place in Adderton. He feels it is not necessary to leave the nation for these negotiations. The peace talks will take place here, in Zarbia.

As the other nations apperently do not care about the future of Zarbia any longer the elections preceded, and concluded in a 100% turn out for the fascist "party". Immediately, Macabee equiped Zarbian Fascist Militia took to the streets to parade their victory. Under Macabee supervision other party members, especially leadership, were arrested and sent to work camps.

The head of the democratic party was publicly shot in front of the screaming crowds of Zarbians in the capital. No longer will this nation have to rest under the oppression of a false democracy, no longer will weak leaders continue to run this wonderful nation to ruin, now a new stronger leader has emerged!

To: All nations involved
From: Madrid

All peace talks are hereby over..your people are being sent back to your ships by small boat. If your military attempts a coup the full weight of the Macabee Empire will hit you like a steel colt.

To: Zarbia
From: Madrid

I wish to seal the fascist victory with a full blown alliance between the Empire and Zarbia. This includes the improvement of the Zarbian military with the following:


3 million H&K Assault Rifle '04

Caliber: 5.45x39 mm
Action: Gas operated, rotating bolt; moving barrel-receiver-gas drive group for delayed recoil action
Overall length: 943 mm (728 mm with butt folded)
Barrel length: 405 mm
Magazine capacity: 30 rounds
Weight, without magazine: 3.85 k g
Cyclic rate of fire: 1800 and 600 rounds per minute variable (see description below for explanation)
Maximum effective range: 900 meters

The gun is much more effective than the M-16 or the Ak-74, although it meets equal standards to the AN-94, the most advance RL rifle of the world, only surpassing it in range.
2,000 Pz. VIII Nebuchadnezzar
