Free Rumania and Xerlox invade Turkey!
Today across the Romanian-Turkish border went massive columns of TR-2000 and ATDR-3800 tanks with infantry, APC's, artillery, and gunship support. Blasting a path directly for the city of Istanbul the formations advanced with blitzkrieg-like speed. Attack aircraft flying ahead of the ground forces have orders to take out any hostile forces. While as the forces progress towards Istanbul the defenses will undoubtedly get better Romanian troops have high morale and look foward to re-establishing the Orthodox church in Constantinople.
In the Black Sea The Royal Romanian Navy has begun assaulting the Turkish coastline near the towns of Eregli and Zonguldak. Marines aboard Bucharest class assault ships are preparing an amphibious assault while Constantine class battleships pound any coastal resistance.
Total casualties:
65 troops
3 tanks
5 APCs
Reported enemy casualties:
4,000 troops dead
28,000 troops captured
123 tanks
252 APCs
19 fighters
24 helicopters

Xerlox will be supporting our Romanian allies by Amphibious assaults on Western Turkey near Izmir and in the south near Azamur.
Anyone wishing to join in our conquest can apply now and join in the distribution of land and booty
Edolia strongly condemns this attack upon this peaceful and nonexistant country and demands that Xerlox and Free Rumania immediately withdraw from their imperialistic war against something that does not exist.

If they are non-existant then what exactly is your complaint?

OOC:
Doesn't Western Asia control Turkey? I doubt he'll be too pleased with this.
IC:
The Pan-Haaregradian Council condemns these imperialistic actions as barbaric and destabilizing an already unstable world.

Yeah and I'm sure 500 other people claim to also. This is in a different universe or something...

Ok, just checking...
No real problem. Just pointing out how silly these "real-life nation invasions" are. Basically you're trying to get people to declare war on you, right? It's not like this gives you any other kind of RPing gratification? Whatever.
Chellis wonders the reason for this invasion, but does not actually oppose it.

It's more about taking over Constantinople and punishing the Ottomans, I guess it's a crusade or something.

(OOC: Western Asia is quite likely to smack you guys around. And don't go pulling the "this is a different Turkey" crap, that's just a completely transparent excuse to avoid real RP.)
no, it's a real reason. How many different middle eastern countries are there? What about United Elias' region? Western Asia's conquered territory would overlap with that and you don't see them going to war over it do you?
Romanian forces are now at the gates of Istanbul. Artillery barrages are bieng brought up and placed within range of the city. High altitude bombers are currently carrying out LGB strikes on targets within the city. Artillery and bomber crews have strike orders that the Hagia Sofia is not to be hit.
After coming ashore the Romanian Marines Immediately begin advancing inside Turkey towards the capital of Ankara. The going is rough due to the mountainous terrain, but the Marines prove to be nearly unstoppable.

OOC: I have agreements with United Elias about those territories, as I do with ADK over Turkey. As long as I get precedence in RPs and you don't try to stop any of my allies or friendly nations of mine from passing through the Dardanelles or Bosphorous then I'm fine.
I'm also perfectly willing to take on the challenge of fighting you /and/ al anbar if you're up for it, but then I'd need to actually make some calls to some allies in the US.
As for realities...Istambul is a bitch of a city to attack, since it's artillery crews could easily rain down fire on your ships. I'm also not sure how you got all of these forces as far as you did without building up forces...which turkey would certainly notice...but have fun blasting away at shadows.
Look, if I wanted a war with western asia I would have said
"FR and Xerlox attack Western Asia"
I've been gone for about 3 1/2 months and I didn't even know you had turkey, So as soon as me and X take it over how about this:
In RP's which feature FR, Xerlox, and WA FR shall control the European Part of Turkey with Istanbul, and WA shall have the rest. In RPs where only one of us is involved that person can claim all of Turkey, deal?

Just 1 thing Western Asia you can’t Invade where they are invading from which is Bulgaria, because that’s my Land but i have Agreements with Free Rumania and so on to let them use it in such ways (really long story from long time ago) so invading Bulgaria or any where else i will step in with my allies.
Just to make Sure Brand new Artillery Has been moved to the Bulgarian Turkish Border. 1,200 Pieces worth.

OOC: FR, whatever you want...usually I just don't join RPs or don't mention my claims where another recognized Turkish power is involved...part of why I haven't been in RPs with ADK.
Dr_Twist...okay, I'm not sure that it's relevant, but whatever.
