OOC: Crookfur, Crownguard & Illior, dunno what happened to myl ast thread. It just vanished. So I'm starting this new one.

IC:

Following the referendum's results of 49,9% for the Imperials & 50,1% for the Reformists, pro-Parliament supporters took to the streets and celebrated their party's victory. However, Kombayn Lichtaïev wasn't so happy about the results and demanded a recount. His request was refused. Now, he wasn't a hot-head so he decided to wait patiently for the next day to receive more support in the parliament session.

However, members of his party did not take this refusal and decided to take matters into their own hands. Around 40 pro-Democratic alliance suspects took whatever fire arms they had in their homes and went to meet the cheering pro-Parliament supporters that were celebrating in almost 23 cities.

At a moment's notice, the suspects opened fire at the crowd, killing dozens instantly and wounding many others. It took nearly 15 minutes for the police to gun down the armed men. In total, 230 pro-Parliament supporters were slain along with 3 cops & the 40 armed men. Another 100 pro-parliament supporters were wounded.

Upon hearing this, the prime minister, Miss Sanjis, declared the Democratic alliance an outlawed party and that any important member would be arrested.

FPC free news:

9AM
Good evening. Upon last night's incident, the police along with the army have made several raids to capture important figures in the Imperial party. However, none of these raids were successful as those key figures had long gone into hidding.

A message was found telling that if by noon today, Miss Sanjis would not agree to step down from office, 18 provinces would secede from the Republic.

Miss Sanjis's answer was swift: "Any attempt to secede from this republic will be met by brute force."

I think this means our country will be once again at war.

The Federation is disheartened to see that FPC is on the road to civil war once again. Have your people not learned from the mistakes of the past two generations? Political dissidents and refugees that want to start over are welcome to come to the Federation; however, all immigrants to the Federation must renounce FPC citizenship and all affiliation with armed FPC groups upon entry. We will not be a haven for those that would help continue the cycle of violence by contributing from abroad.

The Secretary-General's Office

WiH will be willing to send 100 Blue cross troops to aid you against such a thing happening again and a new civil war. The blue cross are our crack troops, the elites of the special forces, they are mainly armed with OICWs but some have other weapons such as the MMP-5A6B(like the SAS uses but a lot better, and a different name).
We do not like rebelions, and the such, and we are currently craking down on terrorist cells in WiH. If Our offer is accepted we will transport the troops in 4 Hercules with some support troops, an airport will be needed for our helicopter, chinooks mainly, and ofspreys, as well space for 15 Eurofighters to do CAP missions.

OOC: ACS, it wouldn,t make roleplay if there wasn,t any civil war in FPC ;)

IC1: Few people consider ACS's offer. Around 2,000 flee while they have the chance. Others are begining to arm themselves.

IC2:
--FROM Miss Sanjis--
--TO War_in_heaven--
I accept your offer. Please send your troops in our capital. They will be needed to secure the parliament from any attacks. Right now, open war has not been declared but noon is approaching fast. It is already 11 o'clock. Even after noon, I'm not sure that war will start. Those rebels do not have the guts.
--OVER--

(OOC: Again!?!)

We are willing to send 1000 red guards, our elite special forces to help stop this conflict before it boils over into war. They are armed with M16 assult rifles with infared, scopes and laser sights, Beretta 92FS pistols, and flak jackets. They have all been trained in jungle, desert, artic and urban warfare. The 1000 coming are all urban combat specialists. They will be under your command, please use them well.

" We have had a positive repply to our message to FPC, the 100 Blue cross and support troops are on their way sir. I would like to suggest that we but around 400 blue cross on alert status red, in case our troops over there need help. It also seems that the troops are needed in the capitol, so therefore the STOL capability of the hercules is not needed, we suggest we use larger faster jet transports, that should make it easier for the troops " Announced the sargent.

" Make it so, and tell the prime minister, I think that if its bad, as you say then we may need more than just the blue cross, the marines also, they'll need to be on high alert, and those BC need some ATT-14s, the armored version of the APC also. " Barked the General

OOC: By the looks of things this looks that this will be an all out war, so we would like permission to be ready to bring to port a small fleet of ships, carrying around two battalions of marines(2200 or so marines) with two supply battalions. But if you think that it wont get that bad, or that any other nation will declare war on you then i wont send them into your waters, just deploy them to international waters.

The Phoenixius Council wishes to honour our alliance and send military units into your nation to help quell this uprising. With your grace we will send out 25,000 troops to hold various important buildings. Any other support you require will be sent if it is reasonable.

IC:

The Crookfur govenrment would like to convey it's dispair at the further worsening of political conditions within FPC.
We urge the Democrats to step back from the brink and accept the will of the people. The only truely worthwhile way to acheive your aims is to work within the esystem, outright rebelion is adnagerous and follish step to take.
Crookfur places the full weight of it's support behind the democratically elected governement of FPC and has military aid and funding available if needed as ever the people of Crookfur stand ready to offer succor to those fleeing the agony that the Democrats seem determined to inflict upon thier nation.


OOC: whats next, pokeing attica in the eye? ;)

King James V wishes to continue his grandfathers policy of friendship towards the people of FPC, and their democratically elected government. He wonders, if the government permits, if it would be feasible to re-open the old McLeodian base for use by foreign countries as a staging post for their forces. It most certainly has the capacity to act as such a base, and with a new base established, His Royal Highness would happily deploy further forces to the region to assist in the conflict.

OOC: Hey McLeod03! How's it going? Long time no see! :) How's your country?

IC1: Miss Sanjis accepts the help of British Communists. The 1,000 soldiers will be deployed in the city of Liliansk, in a couple of government buildings.

IC2: "Leader of WIH, I do not think any further help will be needed but I do accept your small fleet in the Port of Ostiansk (north of New-Quebec) in case a foreign country invades." -Miss Sanjis

IC3 :
--FROM Miss Sanjis--
--TO Phoenixius--
Dear Council, I thank you for your help. However, 25,000 soldiers is large and since the situation is not dire, I must decline that figure. A force of 5,000 would be much easier for us to handle. remeber, if too many soldiers are seen, this could only aggravate the siutation with the Imperials.
--OVER--

IC4:
--FROM Holanv Firiov, minister of Defence--
--TO Mcleod03--
Dear king James V, this is a brilliant idea! I shall order the re-opening of the base asap. It will be ready to recfeive a regiments of your country any time you wish to send them. My country and I are looking forward to working with you again.
--OVER--

IC5:
--FROM Kombayn Lichtaïev, secret location--
--TO Crookfur--
Dear government, I shall not take steps to promote this civil war that is looming over our heads. It is this elected body that is treathning the peace and stability of our country. Don't you realise that there is no more opposition? They are the sole masters of this country. I will not declare war. I wish only to secede and form a truly democratic country of my own.
--OVER--

From: King James V

Engineering units are being readied now to re-open the base and update it to support our recent advancements in technology. Furthermore, two full light infantry regiments and a large detachment of the Military Police are being readied for deployment to the base to await the first transport convoy carrying McLeodian armour.

Text taken from the official letter from Comrad Mono, President of Hazatak:

"... And, as our country is a pacific nation, and we encourage the people of the world to promote peace. We feel sorry that the civil war is iminent on FPC. As part of our impartial politics, all we can do is to open our airports and welcome anyone from this friend people on our country during this hard period. We can not send soldiers nor weapons to any sides of this conflict because we believe that a peaciful solution is always possible, even in hard times.

Sincerely yours
Comrad Mono, President of the United Socialist States of Hazatak"

OOC: Does this mean that my troops should move there? Id rather have a good base in the capital, but its up to you.

To: War_in_heaven Military Command
From: ACINC MAFCC

I have been asked to offer your fleet docking facilities at our base in FPC. Engineers should have basic facilities up and running by the time your fleet arrives, and there is more than enough room to support such a small task force.

the great nation of merkwood will not take a side on this situation and therfor will send aid to all that need it we will not be sending military assistance in any forms nor shell we be opinionating anyone

Thanks Mcleod03, the marines have their own small engineers company, around 100 men on this battalion(the 7th).
We fell that we will not be in the docking facilities for long, or at least some of the fleet wont be, with the destroyers keeping a constant look out for any ships, especially illegaly leaving FPC. WiH also feels that there is a need for a control center were we can plan out flight plans and missions so we do not get in each others way and can co-operate.
OOC: how long will the troops be needed, and if it is a permament base, could i use it as a naval/air base to launch attacks in other wars if i am given permission?

OOC: This base was designed for use as a major deployment facility in case of war, at the time when FPC and the Attican Empire were extremely hostile.

It can easily support around ten thousand infantry, nearly a thousand tanks and two thousand other armoured vehicles, as well as five squadrons of fighters and bombers. It also expanded to hold up to three Carrier Battle Groups and numerous naval vessels, as well as having twin dry dock facilities to support long term deployments.

Our engineers have just arrived in the base, and are beginning preliminary assessments as to how much work is required to bring hte base back online.

War_in_heaven, your troops will be needed for at least a period of 6 months. After that, we will see if our Parliament has the situation under control. And for your request, I cannot allow you to send attacks on other countries from FPC as it could possibly drag FPC into a war with another country.

We are willing to send in a team of Diplomats to help iron out the
problems.

The Emperor, usually very unobtrusive in International Affairs, wished to show his suport to the elected Government in FPC. We have heard of previous wars and do not believe them to be beneficial to anybody.

We are therefore preparing a peacekeeping force to head to the region and attempt to overt this latest potential war. However if the Government is directly challenged then assets in country will be availiable to help them in a full miliaristic stance.

Full details of this force will be sent later if FPC were to invite it into the country.

IC1:
Ion Hammer, you can send your team. An escort will await you at the airport.

Imperial Guardsmen, new Parliament directives limit the forces sent from an international country to a maximum of 5,000 soldiers. However, you may send some peacekeepers. THey will be used to guard government buildings.


IC2:
Location : a British Communists checkpoint.
- It's around midnight. There are checkpoints in many streets of the capital and major cities. However, one of them, held by British Communist soldiers will get an underservd attention.

There are 4 guards in the small checkpoint made of sand bags, barbed wire and wooden frame. 1 of them is checking for any cars or civilians while the 3 others are watching a TV show. In the shadows, 2 figures are walking slowly towards the small camp. They stop at a junction wich provides them with cover. They are not so far away. One of them takes out a tube shaped object. THe other puts something on one end of this object. He then gives a tap on his fellow's head.

In the checkpoint all is clear.
"Guys, it's one of you's turn to watch. I'm tired and hungry." says one of the soldiers.
"ok ok wise guy..."

A large explosion is heard. The checkpoint has been hit with an RPG. The rocket went inside the small bunker and exploded, killing the 4 foreign soldiers in it.

We can have a battalion of the 3rd Guards Infantry Regiment with equipment embarked and on their way to your country within 2 days.
They will be supported by a small amphibious force (1 WASP and a few destroyers in addition to the RO/RO ships for the BMP-4's and the company of GT-1 MBT's)

Imperial guardsmen, your regiment will be most welcomed. They will be used to guard national highways.

IC2:
9 AM
Location: small village in the southern part of FPC. aproximatively 3,000 persons.

At around 6AM, citizens of this little village called Hilov heard of what happened to the British Communists troops. They interpreted this as a declaration of war against the Parliament and since this village was 95% pro-Imperial, they revolted.

They arrested, and latter killed, the police garrison that was in the village, some 60 police officers, and killed the 5% of the population that was pro-Parliament. They armed themselves and set up barricades in their village. At 7AM, the blue,red & yellow flag of the revolution could be seen flotting on top of many houses of Hilov.

At 7h15 AM, the defense minister recevied news of what was happening. He immidiately sent a bataillon of 1,000 soldiers with 10 APCs to quell the revolt. However, these were repulsed by the sheer fanatism of the defenders. The APCs were all destroyed by Hilovians wrapping themselves with mines and charging the armored cars.

Reinforcements were called in but this wasn't enough. So, the Interior minister decided to use a more radical way....
***

9AM
The defenders are manning their posts. At the outskirsts of the village limits, they can see the Parliament soldiers setting up blockades. They think it's going to be a long siege. How wrong could they be.

In an other instant, they see a plane flying above them. It goes fairly low and drops a couple of small capsules on the ground. The plane goes away. After falling on the ground, the capsules break and a white cloud begins to come out of them. Citizens get immerged by the cloud but do not feel any side effects.

During the meantime, the governmetn forces are clsoing all facilities that went in the town such as water & electricity.

3 days later, some citizens get weird symptoms: they have rashes on their skin.
5 days later, nearly all the citizens have scars and deep cuts to their skin due to the rash they previously had.
6 days later, many begin to die. Some people see their skin peel away just by rubbing it.

2 weeks after the rebelliong....
Parliament soldiers dressed in biohazard suits enter the village. They can only see death and destruction. Corpses are lying in the streets. All the village as been eradicated. One of those soldiers returns to the camp. He is disinfected. He takes a phone. After seconds, he hears a voice.
"Yes Miss Sanjis, operation RedDawn has worked. They are all dead."

At Landing Beach Alpha the troops of the 3rd Guards Infantry begin unloading their equipment onto FPC soil.

Colonel Boris Henskin commander of the Regiment immeadiately after seeing his troops landing properly gets into his HIND helicopter and proceeds to the nearest FPC military command post to seek instructions.

Upon arriving at the nearest base, he is told by a general from the parliament army that his troops will be needed to patrol the western part of the country in case of guerilla activity or invasion by Attica.

Location - secret HQ of the Imperial army
Kombayn Lichtaïev talking to his generals :

"Men! This day will be regarded later on as the start of our glorious rebellion or the doomsday that let our ideology be crushed by the tyranny of the Parliament. This day! Our glorious armies will attack numerous bases belonging to the Government forces and will take villages. This day, our liberation war begins!

Generals, you all know what you have to do. May god and FPC be with you."
They all saluted each other and went to their jobs.
***

Monday 25 August, 265 afterFP
The morning is like all others. Citizens are sleeping. Soldiers of the parliament are also sleeping, foolish enough to forget sentry duties. However, some are awake. In the dawn's shaddows, soldiers run towards their objective: a parliament fort. Those rebels have no problem taking the fort as the garrison is still sleeping. In other places, entire villages are taken by the Imperial army. These villages are "liberated".

This happens all over FPC. 68 forts are stormed, their garrison killed, 200 villages are liberated & hundreds of bridges and rail way stations are also taken.

The long awaited civil war has begun. Upon hearing the news of this sudden victory, citizens in pro-Imperial villages took their weapons and threw out the garrison. A total of 180 village liberated themselves.

In total, 10,000 Parliament soldiers were killed. In response to this attack, the government put it's soldiers on alert and called in the reserves. It is rumored that they will use a dangerous weapon to stop this rebellion. However, no one knows what this will be...

The Emperor requests that more troops be allowed to land to ensure the security of our forces in the Western area.

At 3rd Guards HQ

"Colonel Sir, Emperor Constantine has requested that we be allowed to land more troops. 8th Guards Infantry and the 4th Guards Tanks are thought to be reinforcing us soon."

"Thank you Major." the colonel turned to the radio man. "Order Putin to take his battalion forward to near that village", he pointed on a map to a village that was rumoured to be in enemy hands. "Give him the tank company and that 105mm Battery. Also inform him he has 18 CAS missions availiable, napalm and cluster munitions."

"Yes Sir" replied the Captain on the radio's as he sent the orders out.



5 Miles away tanks and BMP's started moving towards the village whilst HIND helicopters and MIG-29's flew above.

OOC: sorry for lack of posting, was really busy.

IC1:
The IG(imperial guardsmen) helicopters are submitted to rockets and AA fire from well hidden positions. Initialy, the Rebels will shot down many choppers but after a well, the migs and other troops will find out there hideouts.

IC2:
FPC free NEWS:
Updates from the front lines: today, a convoy of our Parliament army was brutally attacked as the Imperials used RPGs and small anti-tank rifles to bombard the medical trucks that were carrying wounded and medicine. A reported number of 40 trucks along 180 soldiers were killed/destroyed today.

Another disaster, on the Maliov front: a recon force of about 300 soldiers were taken captive for the most part. Our boys were checking a small village in the North-Easter part of FPC when they were reportdly ambushed by Imperial soldiers. Around 90% of that squad was captured while the other 10% was slaughtered.

Meanwhile, in our capital city, a terrorist attack happpened killing and wounding over 500 people. 7 bombs exploded in the "Victory for FPC" train station today at around 9o'clock as citizens were getting on to get to their jobs. This attack is rumored to be the work of the Imperials as New-Quebec has been know for it's large support for the Parliament.

In other news, a gallant victory today by our soldiers. A compagny of 10 men managed to knock out of combat 4 Imperial tanks & 10 armored vehicles. They also took 40 prisonners.

For tonight, I'm Boris Shalaov.

Four HIND's were hit by RPG's. Two went down killing all onboard, while one more managed to land and let out a squad of troops and its crew before exploding. The other limped back to base.

Those ten men ran into a nearby farmhouse and began calling in artillery strikes with a small TACSAT radio.

Meanwhile 3 GT-1 MBT's approached their position and began turning their turrets towards buildings which had RPG's streaking out of them.

The earth shook as the massive main guns fired one after the other and three houses crumbled into dust.

Eight BMP-4s now joined the tanks and began unloading Infantry. Some joined the men in the farmhouse whilst the rest used their AK-101s and PK's to deliver suppressing fire into enemy positions.

About 3 Miles behind the 155's were set up and began firing as soon as Target Co-Ordinates were given.

The crump of landing shells was the signal for five more BMP's along with 3 more tanks to begin moving across the open ground towards the Town. As they went RPG's streaked out and bullets raked the ground infront of them.

One BMP was hit and immbolised and troops piled out of the back and began advancing to towards the town whilst the defenders concentrated on the tanks.

The tanks were firing as they drove, buildings were disintergrating from direct hits. The Lead tank saw an RPG crew reloading in a building, the main gun was being reloaded and so the commander ordered the driver to drive through the building.

The tank emerged on the other side and a BMP followed it through. It stopped momentarilly as the Infantry within scrambled out and began clearing the adjacent houses.

The artillery shifted to hitting the town square where enemy armour had been reported and rounds began to fall around civilian cars trying to escape.

Meanwhile the rest of the Battalion was supporting I Companies advance on the other side of the town, creating a trap from which no-one would escape.


The town was subdued before nightfall and civillaians were rounded up and put in the main square underguard.

Colonel Henskin visited later in the evening to get a full report.

"Colonel Sir" he was greeted by Major Putin "Final reports are 29 KIA, 58 WIA, with 2 MIA at the present time Sir".

"Damn thats a heavy toll for a town this size, what about enemy casualties?"

"Well sir most came from out choppers going down, we will not make the mistake of sending them in first again. Enemy casulaties were in the hundreds, they didnt have anything heavy enough to get the GT-1's."

"Ok Major good job. I will be back later with more orders"

OOC: sorry, had many problems with the forums

At a nearby Imperial base...

-Sir!!! News from the town!!!
-What? Say it!?!?!?!
-They's taken it back. We lost around 200 dead + 100 wounded. The town's folks have been rounded up. What should we do?
-I'll tell ya. Until we get new reinforcements, we'll wait. We cannot attack those Imperial Guardsmen since their tanks are too damn well-equipped. We could however...
-------------------------------

The town, after the battle, at night fall...

"-Quick quick quick!!! Set up those mortars....
-Yes sir!"

4 mortars are put into position. Their targets: the buildings occupied by Parliament forces.

At a signal's notice, the 4 mortar crew begin to fire at their targets. The first bombs hit bull's eye. 4 rounds penetrate 4 different building, tearing the roof and some parts of walls with huge explosion.

Three other salvos are fired at buildings or vehicles but they do not inflict too much damage. The mortar crew flees in the woods to get back at their HQ.

OOC: The mortar attack was on my forces right?

OOC: yep

Kaiser Otto Petinski III looks in dismay at the violence happening across the border.

"What should we do, Mein Kaiser?"
'I don't know. I do not want to utilize our military forces, which could break the currently fragile system of alliances and treaties holding McLeod, Credonia, FPC, Autonomous city-states, and us together. Herr Troeger, please come in here.'
"'Yes?'"
'I want you to send this letter to all of the nations listed.'

To: McLeod, Credonia, Imperialist FPC, Republican FPC, ACS
From: Attica
We request that ambassadors from all of your states come to Muenchstadt for a summit on the FPC issue. This is of dire importance, and might determine the future fate of a number of countries.

--FROM Kombayn Lichtaïev, leader of the Imperial forces of FPC--
--TO Attica--

We agree to come to your summit. I will send 5 of my best diplomats. We do not want any war with you or any other nation. We are at war with the Parliament and Imperial Guardsmen since they interfered with our problems.
My diplomatic team should reach the agreed destination in about 3 or 4 days.

I will dispatch a team diplomats and I will send them via-helicopters. Please make sure that they are safe. I would not trust any Imperial. Make sure they are disarmed.
I hope these talks will bring a stop to this violence wich could bring FPC & Attica into another war IF the Imperials would win.

OOC: Still waiting for the other countries to respond.

OOC: I assume that im not invited as i only have a small involvement.

IC: Colonel Henskins helicopter landed seconds after the mortar attacks.

"God Dammit get after those people NOW!" he shouted at a group of soldiers who were milling around the burning wreck of a URAL truck. They responded at once and got into their BMP heading towards the large wood near the town.

The Colonel moved to the Battalion command post where the Major was trying to get things organised.

"Sir" he saluted "We have 2 URALs and a BMP destroyed, a further 2 have been immoblised along with a Self Proppeled Mortar. Casualties so far are 5 dead and 18 wounded, Civilians are unknown looks like a mortar shell hit right in the middle of them.

"Shit" replied the Colonel, Civilian Casualties were the last thing that he needed "Ok, move an offensive patrol after them, use my helicopter as well. Ill take a Jeep back to Regimental HQ. I need to start planning for the arrival of the other 2 Regiments. Keep me informed of the situation here. I will be sending an Engineer Company to start securing the town and youd better find out if there are any loyal villagers here. If there are make up a police unit and get the rest back to their houses, cant have another mortar shell killing them all."

Majorgeneral Geweski places a map on the Kaiser's desk.

"What is this?"
'Other nations, that are not allied with us, are interfering in the FPC affair. If we do bring them to the negotiations table, acts from them could very easily destroy the balance, and cause the negotiations to fail.'
"What are you proposing?"
'We order them to cease actions, and if they refuse, destroy their forces in FPC.'
"What are our chances of success?"
'Optimal.'
"Go ahead."

From: Attican Ministry of Foreign Affairs
As per declaration by Kaiser Otto Petinski, in maintaining and upholding the Petinski Doctrine set by his forefathers, we hereby declare your activity in this region illegal, and insist that your forces depart at once. If you do not comply, you will be removed.

In the war room, general Chïnkov points out to Colonel Henskin a small patch of wood near their base;
"Look colonel, there is an important base of rebels there. I should say a weapon's cache supplying the whole of the Northern rebel armies. If we capture it without them blowing it up or changing it's location, we'll criple the Imperial armies in the Northern Front.

After the General's speech, Stepan Koulko, the special forces trainer, begins to speak;
This is a good plan, in theory. However, troops located in that wood are especially well trained. You'll need the best soldiers you can muster, and I mean the elite, to attack it. Don't throw in regular conscripts.

"THat's right" says Julia Stemanva, specialist in High-Tech weapons,"the rebels in that location are armed with loads of weapons, ranging from M4, M16, AK-47 to M60s. Be weary that they are specially trained to use any weapons they can find. It will be dangerous colonel, but worth it."

General Chïnkov speaks again:
Yes, all the info told here is vital for the sucess of this operation. Furthermore, I have intel here. Intel says that 500 soldiers are guarding the weapon's cache. They also say numerous AA batteries are positionned in key areas so an aerial assault is not recommended. Also, the forest around the location is covered with swamp. The only way, oddly, is a direct road through the forest to the weapon's cache. Intel says that disguising the trucks in wich your soldiers will ride in as friendly could help them get far enough. What say you?"

"Roger that Sir. We can do it, it will take a day to set up. 4th Battalion are my best, they havn't done much fighting recently and so are well rested. They are currently here." he pointed to a spot on the map about 20 klicks from the edge of the forest "What exactly should we disguise our trucks as? We can get anything we need from our main HQ or shipped in if its not availiable in country, but that will take time. Also i think incase they are discovered i'll place a battery of 155's here" again he pointed to the map "and here, with my Self Propelled guns here. That gives us the range to hit anywhere in the forest if we need it.
I also want my tanks and BMP's ready to go up this road if all hell breaks loose, will it support them?

"HQ~FP does not want the weapon's cache to be damaged. Since the location is very small, one shell misplaced could destroy a large area, including your troops. No, the operation rests solely on your troops' abilities to take small buildings.

Since the garrison is believed to be 400 to 500 ennemies, intel assumes the compound is built underground. This, logically, could provide enough space for a garrison this size so, upon securing the perimeter, your troops shall have to face underground corridors with a possible garrison.

For your tanks and BMPs, they should be put on alert but they would be highly unefficient since the road connected to the weapon's cache compound is only wide enough for 1 vehicle at a time. This oculd put your armor at risk if a counter attack would be made by the ennemy.

Now, your forces. I suggest you send in 10 to 15 trucks, military ones, but painted with rebel colors. I have already a team of hackers working on sending the compound a message that a weapon's convoy is supplying them some fresh stock. This could easily be our cover. What do you think? A team of some 200 soldiers could easily be enough?"

It is going to put an end to this silly civil war.

The Attican troops begin moving across the border, which orders to demobilize any FPC troops, Imperial of Rebel, they come across.

Public Broadcast:
One hour ago, Attican Troops entered FPC territory. Their mission is simple: To demobilize FPC troops from both sides. By stopping the armed conflict, reaching a peaceful settlement in the end will be easier. We encourage other nations to assist us in this policy.

A group of 80 parliament soldiers along with 4 88mm canons, 10 mortars & 8 M113A2 Armored Personnel Carrier see Attican soldiers approaching. They begin to pour fire at them from a close distance.

All along the border, FPCian soldiers from the parliament army begin to hide in forests and mountains to do guerilla warfare.

--TO any nation currently in FPC--
--FROM Vadislav Guchenko, secretary of state of the People's republic of FPC--

Dear nations, we are currently being attacked by the Attican empire. They say they wish to stop the war but will only fuel our citizens to take arms since FPC and Attica has had a long history of war. Please make everything in your power to stop this crude invasion of FPCian soil.

IC:

The Crookfur govenrment issues a stong condenation of the heavy handed intervention by Attican Forces, The murmering conflict would have been dealt with quicker and sooner by simply providing Aide to the Legitimate and democratically elected govenrment currently in power to prevent the blatantly seperatist Imperial party from tearing the nation appart.

The people of FPC are unlikely to take kindly to this event and we can fully understand their feelings if they were to take this act in an unfavourable light.

Perhaps Attica might find it better to stop and open lines of communication fully with the standing govenrment.

We are froced to anounce that as news of the unhelpful Attican intervention reached us a Crookfur Stabilisation force headed by the 14th light divsion and the 16th Airassault was under assembly for dispatch to aid the beleagured FPC govenrment.

We agin ask Attica to step back and work with the international community in bringing much needed peace and hope to the peoples of FPC.

We have already offered to have a peace conference, but ONLY FPC replied. Therefore, we have deemed it necessary to intervene.

OOC: You told us to get lost when we wanted to come to it didnt u?

IC: Emperor Constantine was having his breakfast when the messanger arrived from the situation room with the news that Attican forces were advancing into FPC. Understandably he was furious.

"What, after they shrugged us out of the talks. Thats it. Order in the 4th Guards Tanks and 8th Guards Infantry Regiments General." as he returned to his shreddies "God dammit get the entire Army Mobilised incase they want a proper war I will not have our men killed there by a foreign power intent on letting rebels rule the country."


The Orders were recieved on the amphibious craft still floating where the 3rd Regiment had been dropped off. They began disgorging tanks trucks and infantry carriers before an hour was over.

At 3rd Guards HQ, Colonel Henskin was reasonably happy with the plan. He had dispatched the orders to get the trucks painted into rebel colours. Meanwhile he had the problem of Attican Forces coming over the border. He had already sent an urgent message to the High Command and had gotten a reply that two more Regiments were coming in. He would be in command until Brigadier General Bondarenko arrived tomorrow.

"Bah" he thought "three reinforced Regiments to stop an entire army!"

High General Kombayn Lichtaïev, also the president of the Imperial faction, was reading intel papers when a sergeant burst into his HQ:

"SIR!!!!SIR!!!! he said
"What?replied Lichtaïev
"The Atticans, sir. They've crossed our border and say they're here to stop the conflict. Skirmishes are reportedly poping everywhere they go. What should we do?

IC 2:
At dawn, on Monday 20th June 305 AFP, thunder strikes. More than 70 citites (each having more than 500,000 citizens) are attacked by Imperial soldiers. These cities include Liliansk & New-Torontov. However, New-Quebec as been spared due mostly to the huge number of Parliament soldiers stationed there.

Back to the cities; the attacks are ferocious. More than 3 million imperial soldiers are taking part in these assault. In all, the Republican forces in all of those cities is less than 600,000 soldiers. This "attack" is know as Operation "Bulldozer". High-Generals from the Imperial sides have been preparing it for nearly a year, eventhough the conflict dates back a couple of weeks.

Soldiers were hidden in sewers, appartement complexs or simply charged out of the suburban areas surrounding the cities. Fighting is quick and fierce. Parliament soldiers, wich are undermaned, cannot face the brutality of the assaults. Their routs can also be explained by this: citizens, seeing the migthy Imperial army rolling in, took the streets and attacked the fleeing Parliament soldiers.

At sunset, 57 cities had fallen, costing the lives of:
100,000 Imperial soldiers
89,000 Parliament soldiers
& 70,000 citizens.

FPC free News:

Ladies and Gentlemen, our elected prime minister, Miss Sanjis, died today at the "Little avenue" hospital. Previously today, she was reviewing soldiers when she was struck by an heart attack. She was immidiately hospitalizes but died of her condition.

Her sucessor, Igor Lorï, promised to continue the fight against the Imperials. HE is now speaking in front of an audience. We will take you live:

"I, Igor Lorï, swear to end this civil war wich is ravaging our country. The recent attack was deliberate and had been planed for a long time. The Imperials will pay dearly for every ounce of territory they took so far and *several gun shots*

We interupt your program to announce that Igor Lorï is dead. What you saw earlier was an assassin shooting our new prime minister to death. Several people were injured trying to detain him. He shot himself before being captured. The political cabinet as yet announced who will take the role of prime minister. More later.

Man smoking a cigar: We cannot hold this country any more. It will fall in the Imperial hands, that is for sure. What should we do?

Man wearing glasses: We side with the Empire. It's our only chance.

Man drinking vodka: But what about those fanatical soldiers of ours? They won't let go of the Parliament!

Cigar: Then they'll die defending New-Quebec. I'd rather live and see them die than to die along side them. Let's take power with our own soldiers and transfer all of our powers to the Imperial side. Then, we'll only have to destroy the New-Quebec garrison.

FPC free News:
Ladies and Gentlement. Deceipt and corruption ruled this Republican party since the begining. Today, the 3 top official of the party who were given temporary command after the death of Miss Sanjis & Igor Lorï, surrendered their forces or should I say, changed sides and flocked to the Imperials.

This action left all of FPC, execpt our beautiful capital, New-Quebec, in Imperial hands. As we speak, the garrison here of 700,000 is preparing for a stand-off in the hope of raising more support from neighboring provinces.

This treason will surely cost us the war, but let's take as many Imperials with us! *takes out a pistol and leaves his chair. On screen appears this message: "Sorry, thecnical failure. Please come back later"

FPc, dont worry, i have 1000 army delta tropps armed with OICW's with 40mm grenade launchers, i will send them if u need extra assistance.

IC: "Jesus theyve done what!" General Bondarenko exclaimed. He had only just arrived in the country to be told that the people he was fighting for had surrendered! "What can we do what options are open to us Colonel?"he said turning to Henskin.

"Sir, we dont really have much we can do. We have a relitevaly safe road to the coast and our landing craft. We can get the whole Division out in one night. Alternatively we can stay here and be a thorn in their side, but without much support there are just to many of them. We could also go to New Quebec and help there, but I dont know we can be sure that they wont change sides. My recomendation is leave. However we must get that order from the Emperor." he said handing the satilite phone to the General. Strangely it started ringing.

"This is General Bondarenko." he listened for three minutes then put the phone down. "We are to move back to the landing craft. The Emperor sees this as a lost cause. We have permission to engage anybody that threatens us. Get the orders out Colonel, and leave nothing behind for them. If there are any unoccupied vehicles that we didnt bring that are military, take them with us. Anything that cant move and is military is to be destroyed."

"Yes Sir." he went to the communications tent.

Within half an hour every unit was moving. The two Regiments that had just landed reboarded their craft whilst the 3rd Guards Infantry watched for approaching enemies. Within 7 hours every IG soldier was on the transports as they moved back to sea, MIG's flying overhead. All that remained was the wreck of an Mi-24 and some BMPs that had been damaged beyond repair. They were of course blown up, to the amusement of the GT-1 crew that got to fire the shots.

FPC free News:

Ladies and gentlement of the free FPC forces. I am reporting live from my bunker. You can see that I am armed with an M16, as most soldiers around me. However, the garrison captain informed me that we will need more men if we wish to succeed in the defense of our capital. So, I ask of all male or female capable of handling a gun, young or old, to show themselves at the nearest police or military station. Each person will receive a weapon and a bundle of ammo clip. You will then be formed into reserve units.

Others with mechanics skills will be asked to drive tanks because we are in shortage of good drivers. Captain Sobieski assures me that these "reserve" units will only be used if need be so don't be panicked. Help is rumored to be on it's way. We have still many friends in the outside.

Dear gentlemen,
We, in New-Quebec, are in a dire position. I have mustered many more people as home guard units but they are not trained and will not last long if they were to be put in a fight. I have approximatively 700,000 regular infantrymen+2,000 tanks+1,000,000 "reserves". I implore you to send transports to evacuate the most people you can before we are totaly annihilated.

My advisors calculated that we could hold this siege for at least 4 to 6 weeks. However, plans always go awry. Please save our souls.

OOC:
FPC: Crookfur is feeling a bit more interventionist at the moment so if you could provide the locations of the 3 biggest airfeilds closest to New-Quebec then that would be useful (the only way i can get suficent power in place to aid the defenders quickly is by air followed by a marine landing to the north).

In terms of force levels be thinking at least a Corps level force...

IC:
In light of the rapidly shift of situation the Govenrment have been able to push a bill to aid the republican forces through parliment.

As of 06:00 this morning a massive air armada carrying the first elements of the 60th and 138th Airborne divsions took off destined for targets within FPC, ahead of them flies the massed air power of 5th Strategic Bomber command (24 B-2s, 24 Super vulcans and 12 super vulcan SEAD) and 14th fighter command (24 Double dragons, 12 Dragonpearls and 24 Darkwings).

(targets will primarily be air defence systems and then the beseiging forces at New-quebec).

Just after General Bondarenkos troops had boarded the troops he got a call. It was an urgent plea for help that the Emperor had taken heed of. He had ordered a further two Divisions to the area and had instructed that the 3 Regiments be re-landed and head immeadiately for New Quebec to aid in the defence of the city.

This time it took nearly 9hours to unload the equipment and begin the 3 day drive to the city.

IC1:

As the Crookfurian airplanes arrive, they are met with an intense AA fire. Flaks are firing from everywhere while thousands of tracer bullets can be seen penetrating the skies, in direction of those Crookfurians. Hundreds of flaks and AA guns are well hidden in the trenches surrounding New-Quebec.

IC2:

As the Imperial Guardsmen convoy begins it's 3 day drive to the FPCian capital, it is attacked all along it's line by Imperial guerilla fighters. Dozens of RPGs are fired at the vehicles and then, soldiers with either AK-47 or M16 pour a devastating fire at the convoy. These attacks continue for the rest of the day, new troops coming in all day long.

Deciding it is in the best interest of the country. The nation of Tobacystan has sent a team of rangers to scout out the fighting going on in FPC.


After gathering data the rangers report back to Tobacystan and brief the Tobacystan leaders on the situation.

A day later Tobacystan's leader decided to take the Reformist side and sends 20 A-10's Warthogs, 50 heavy 90 MM tanks, and several weapon related supplies.


Although saying publicly that he has not sent in any troops. The leader of Tobacystan secretly reinserted Rangers back in FPC with orders to shoot and kill any Imperialist squad.

At a road block, one team Tobacystan rangers is stopped. Imperial soldiers ask them to get out of the car with their hands up. When asking them question, a sergeant(FPC) pops a culture question at them that all FPCians should know: What are the 3 major cities in FPC?

Major Thomas Greyson watched in awe as the imperialists put on a good show, the tracer fire made beautiful paterns that belied its deadly nature, even from the high altitude where his B2 was flying it was spectacular.
"shame it's all for nothing." he though as his targeting systems received yet more of the constant target updates for bomber's payload of JDAMs.

As a battery would open up it's location was picked up by satalite, high altitude recon and stand off radar aircraft and the coords isntantly relayed to the comand centre where bomb tasks were assigned and then transmitted to the bomber fleet.

Thomas looked at his display as he came upto his attack point.

"god have mercy on the poor souls," he prayed as he engaged the final launch command and the bomber began it's autoamtic weaposn release program. On reaching the assigned point the bomber opened it's dark bombbays and finally unleased it's terrible cargo of giuded bombs. 80 500lb JDAMS rained down, each moving to its individual target coordinates.

Acrosss the bomber fleet this was repeated as aolmost 2000 (1920) bombs screamed down on the waiting imperialist positions spreading togues of fire and horror throughout thier ranks.

(OOC: tototally Rl capable attack there perhaps people might under stand why the US only need 12 B2s... and why network centric warfare is the future).

Knowing the Vulcans would be unable to stay out of reach of the Flak cascade they had been equipped with stand off cluster weapons (WCMDs with the bolt on wings and giudance package) of which each vulcan launched 20 argeting supply lcoations and tank concentrations.
Those Vulcans equipped for and tasked with SEAD (supression of enemy air defense) missions orbited the area launching anti radiation missiles at any radar set that dared to light up.

The strike fighters are still a bit away taking on a final laod of fuel while air superiority fighters are flying high being very miffed at having noone to shoot at yet.

Very well our first transport units will begin landing once our attack force have neutralised enemy airdefenses. We currently have 3 divsions worth of paratroops on their way to you now so we can liekly thake that third airport for you without too much bother and perhaps assault any other major locations you require.

OOC:its likely i will ahve some path finders already down scouting out alnding sites along side the defenders.

After capture of the Rangers was made public in the media. The leader of Tobacystan claimed to the population of Tobacystan that the Rangers were on Tobacystans side of the border. Outraged by this, the Tobacystan Congress voted to give the President of Tobacystan full control of the situation in FPC.


The President ordered about 1/4th of Tobacystans 1 million troops to aid the Reformist in taking control of the country. In the force there also will be 500 heavy 90 MM tanks, 250 Medium 80 MM tanks, 100 portable Sam Sites, and 100 portable artillery trucks. The troops are being amassed presently but only 100,000 troops will be able to be deployed within the next 3 days. Upon approval by the FPC Parliament the troops will enter the country and establish a safe zone until the force is at full strength.

The President also has put the country on red alert and has deployed sam sites and flak cannons all across the country in addition to fighter patrols across the country.

OOC: Sorry to rain on your parade crockfur but B-2s can only carry 16 JDAM bombs! Not 50!

My source http://www.fas.org/nuke/guide/usa/bomber/b-2.htm

Thats 16 of the 2,000pound system, the newer GBU38 500lb system is in the process of being cleared for use (it required an entirely new Bomb rack assembly).
The 500lb GBU38 isn't any bigger than a Mk82 dumb bomb.

The B-2 weapons clearance for it only entered final testing after Gulf war 2 (soemtime between nov and jan IIRC)

OOC: Tobacystan, we do not share a common border so your action is void. Unless your Attica with another name? Anyways, look down on the IC part...

IC:

Hearing about he declaration made by Tobacystan, captain Sobieski sent an immidiate message to Tobacystan officials as a call for help:

"Please send us all you can. Crookfur & Imperial guardsmen are helping us but I fear we will collapse in the long run by the sheer overwhelming numbers of the Imperials. Thank you."

The Imperials in te trenches surrounding New-Quebec take cover as hundreds of explosions light up the night. Hundreds are killed and even more are wounded.

But still, the Imperials hold on. They have learned a valuable lesson at a terrible cost.

The Imperial High-General, Igor Talaski, sees the danger of the Crookfurian airplanes. He decides to destroy the airport he has to cripple any attempt by the Alliance forces to capture it and land soldiers. The destruction begins immidiately.

At the same time, unknown by all execpt the top command of the Imperial side, troops are infiltrating the capital by means of underground passages and sewers. As many as 200,000 are currently beneath the city and are awaiting orders to storm out. However, these troops do not look like ordinary Imperial soldiers... something is quite strange about their appearance...

At his castle in the high mountains of Kasatchov, Vasily Gomanchkov, King of Talasiev, received news of the fighting in his neighboring country of FPC.
"My god, he said, look at all those atrocities. This cannot be permited. But I cannot attract those big countries like Crookfur or Imperial Guardsmen to my country..."

Next day, he made a public announcement both to his subjects & the international world:
"Talasiev will remain neutral in this conflict. However, I offer safe haven to all Imperial soldiers that wish to come in the sanctaty of our island. Also, my people have a strong wish to fight for the cousins in FPC so that is why I offer my people the choice to enlist in a foreign expeditonary force that will fight in FPC on the Imperial side. However, once leaving Talasiev, they will not be considered as rightful Talasievian citizens and thus, retribution on our country will be void."

OOC: rereading my post and yours while lsitening to Paschendale by Iron Maiden was a bit weird... oh and goodie goodie, para drops and engineering!!!

Out at sea the dark shapes of Marine assault group 2 could be made out against the half light of dawn as they began to enter rnage and aircraft becan taking off from the decks of the carriers (stats on fleet conposition on request)

Lft Anderson of the 59th Pathfinder company watched through his binoculars as the imperial force began destroying the airport. Turning to his satcom he relayed a report to high command and then powered up his FAC comunications box.

"Goggle eye to all stations report for tasking. over"

"Goggle eye this is tiger shark actual on 9Gs available for tasking. over"

"Tiger shark actual, i have bandits at 091 degree and 1km from my postion, on airport, mix of lights and hards, will talk you in. over"

"Copy Google eyes. Targets on airport ranged and sighted, will follow your lead in. over"

"Roger Tiger shark actual, begin pass on..."

Out of the sky a flight of Fleet air arm harriers roared at low level towards the imperial forces at the airport, cluster bombs, ATGMs and cannon fire raining down on thier targets.

As the close air support attack and other like it started the armada of transport planes arrived on station and began spewing paratroopers into the gray morning mist.

Crp Henderson took a deep breath and stepped out as the load master slapped him on the back, sending him on his way. Plummteing down he sighed with releif as the static line ripped his chute into action and his descent slowed. Little was visisble through the mist at this height but according to his display goggles' heading indicator he was on target. A number of small fleeting IR trace apeared on his visor but nothing concrete. Then he was in the mist the damp air mixing with his nervous swaet, he glanced at his altimeter as it counted down to impact, bracing himself he felt his equipment pack thump down just before he landed. It was a text book landing, if only the drill master had seen it. geabbign and loading his weapon he moved to the rally point metting the rest of his squad on the way. A few bursts of gun fire rang out, contact with the enemy was a little early but not unexpected.

There major drops have been carried out:
1 to the north to begin attacking forces between New Quebec and the sea to froce a land corridor open, this will be aided by the marines.
1 to capture the imeprial held air port
aand the final one to provide infantry cover for the 2 allied held airports.

After the troops were dropped the first wave of air craft turn back to load up with more equipment and supplies while a second wave begins dropping heavier equipment to the paras (light vehciles, ammo and artillery) and the first trnasports touch down at the allied airports thier cargo of Grey Mamba MBTs and Indra IFVs moving forward to support the infantry as the first evacuees are marshalled on baord.

The Imperial force of 400 men at the airport see the Crookfurian paratroopes coming down on them. The captain in charge sees this and understand that all is lost.

"Men, take your weapons and kill as much of these bastards as you can. Take cover in vital buildings so you will have cover. Those swine cannot destroy those buildings as they need it for the airport to function correctly. Move it!!!!"

With this, the 400 emn swarm vital buildings in and around the airport such as the radio tower, electrical booths and large hangars. Under the airport are some tunnels. Nearly 30 soldiers get into them. These tunnels are labyrinths that can turn deadly....

***

At the same time of the attack on the airport, the 200,000 soldiers hidden under New-Quebec receive the order to charge out. In an instant, ennemies swarm out of sewer holes and others get out thorugh blasted floors. These soldiers are armed with M16 rifles & tons of grenades and/or RPGs.

They begining assaulting defense posts of Parliament soldiers or any other Alliance stronghold.

After only 15 minutes of their assault, these soldeirs have taken 20% of the city and are constantly taking more. Reformist casualties are nearly 5,000 compared to the 100 Imperials. These are not the ordinary Imperial militias...
***
"Sergeant! said Yuri Gulenchko, Imperials are swarming in the capital. They were hidden in sewers and underground tunnels. We are losing many men. These soldiers are not ordinary militia that we've encoutered so far. They are stronger, faster and deadlier. I saw one of them kill 4 of our men plus destroy an APC while being injured!!!
-Damn it. Something's fishy... wait! look there!"

A firefight erupts between the sergeant & the private against 3 Imperials. After short bursts, the Imperials are dead. The Sergeant is wounded and calls for private Gulenchko:
"Pvt Gulenchko!!! Are you ok?" nothing. He sees the body of pvt Gulenchko lying in the street. A pool of blood surrounds him for he as been shot 30 times.
"damn it", the sarge said as he had been shot 8 times. He went over to see the bodies of the 3 Imperial soldiers. He looked at them and what he saw astonished him. They were identical. Like twins. They had the same height, the same physique and the same face. What was going on?...

OOC: modern Rol natiosn have no issues leveling an airports support biuldings after all they can bring in an entire air traffic control system in the back of a herc... (well the US and UK can).

IC: the para troops of 3rd brigade, 138th Airborne begin the ardous task of clearing the biuldings, with machine guns and grenade alunchers pinning the defenders down the riflemen rush forward clearing each squad breaching the doors (well more like the grendade launchers have breached any doors...) tossing in grenades and following through quickly automatic fire errupting from thier rilfes. Greandually all the biuldings bar the control tower ahve been cleared, the enemy within are just too concentrated to dislodge easily.
The brigade colonel ponders this and after a quick check with HQ gets the go ahead for an airstrike.

As the airstrike is inbound one of his engineers runs up:
"Sir, we have a problem! this entire palce is riddled with service tunnels, it looks like we will have to clear them the hard way." Then he paused and lsitened to a report on his radio. "Sir, it gets worse it seems that the sabotage efforts or our bombing has caused a rupture in the aviation fuel stores, vapour has been slowly seaping into the tunels and soem of biuldings, so far we have been lucky and haven't set it off yet but a big enough bang coudl turn this entire palce intoa fireball."

"A big enough bang? like say a 2000lber?"

"yes sir if it hit a major biuldup..."

"Then i suggest we should all move back rahter quickly! get everyone off the airfeild!!"

As the troops pulled back the dark shape of a Darkwing fighter passed over and a 2000lb bomb fell lazily down towards the control tower where it hit and thena fter a mometary delay exploded, ap ause then the fuel vapour throughout the base eruppted in a massive wall of fire that spurted from manhole covers and riuned biuldings, the main runway was suddenly ripped appart as servcie tunnels collapsed and the metallic udnerpinnigns melted.

Causualties:
30dead
120woudned (primarily burns dispite the fire resistant layer in thier uniforms).

The airport is totaly destroyed. The tunnels are severly damaged but people can still walk in them. However, unknown to many is the existence of an even deeper system of tunnels wich leads to an underground bunker. It was built 20 years ago and can withstand bombardments. The 40 soldiers that were in the tunnels hid there when the major explosion occured. 1 of them though, was injured and volunteers to go out and attrac soldiers to go down into the next system of tunnels. To do so, he takes his machine gun and fires round at the Crookfurians.

OOC:Sorry for that suppose i need to get up2date facts. Ok dokey, cool and thanks for bringing that to my attention. I can see mischief coming now hehehe!

As the rest of his squad scattered Pvt Harper cooly drops to his knes and takes careful aim with his rilfe, bracing himself he lets fly with a 3 round burst precisly targeted on the injured imperial (OOC:trying hard not to declare your casualties for you).

"Where in the name of the Wee man did that bugger come from?" asks the squad Sergeant as the squad sheepishly picks itself off the ground.

"Over here sarge," hollers another squad memeber, "looks like we got ourselves another tunnels setup full of bunnys!"

"Great, just great. Adams! find the rupert and tell him what we've found. Looks like we get to go wabbit hunting."

A coupel of squads are detailed to investiagte the tunnels they probe forward cautiously IR and NV sensors straining to pick out any targets in the gloom.

OOC: Sorry havnt been on for a while had a lot of work on.

IC:

The first of the Imperial Guardsmen tanks began arriving at the airport recently taken by Crookfur. They had lost 3 of the precious GT-1 MBT's on the approach march along with countless trucks and nearly 100men. The 1st Battalion was the tanks, taking the lead as always. Colonel-General Bondarenko was in his command BMP, speeding up behind them to liase with the crookfur commander on the scene. The 3rd Guards Infantry Regiment was the first there followed by the other two regiments coming down the road about an hour behind.


OOC:Hope thats ok?

Nubuya/BBC news: the history in FPC is rahter long and complciated (this is what the 3rd or 4th major war to take place there) but if FPC wishes to have you report it then thats cool.

FPC: just reread that bit abotut he infiltrators, please not clones they aren't really at all feasible any time soon.

Independent Hitmen: its cool, unless you read regular airforce news stuff you tend not to notice these things (and other odd things like the F-117 getting a new grey RAM paint).


Imperial Guardsmen: thats cool, soem hevaier equipment will come in useful for that unit.


IC: From the other airports the first Crookfur troops begin making thier way into the city centre ledning thier hevaier fire to help hold the inflitrating imperial troops back.

Crookfur: clones had been developped in the old Empire, under FPC I. However, they are as any human being, they are just a whole bunch of the same looking soldeirs ;) but for the stroy's sake, let's just say they were triplets. Those are not clones but really well trained soldiers.

IC1:

In the underground airport tunnels, Imperial soldiers see Crookfurians approaching in the distance. One of them picks a RPG and fires it at them...

IC2:
Finnaly approaching the airport, the Imperial Guardsmen convoy think they can finally breathe. Just as the first tanks are pulling in, salvos of RPGs and rifle fire are shot at the less armored or unprotected vehicles of the convoy. Around 300 militia men are taking part in this raid. At the same time, they'll attack Crookfurians also but this raid is far more towards the end of the convoy.

Bringing up the rear of the column was the 2nd Battalion of the 8th Guards Infantry Regiment. So far in this conflict they hadn’t seen any combat, the rebels as they thought of them were attacking the middle of the convoy. However when that had passed into reasonably secure territory it was no surprise that they came under attack.
At the rear of the convoy were 3 BMP-4s and 2 GT-1’s, and just infront of these were the battalion in trucks and light armour. The RPG’s and rifle fire ripped into the first couple of trucks killing most aboard, and soon the battalion was involved in a serious fire fight. The GT-1’s were using their huge cannon to great effect, blasting mounds of earth into the sky whilst the BMPs attempted to advance on the enemy positions. Dismounted infantry began to pour fire into the sides of the roads whilst officers tried to call in air support.
All that was available were two MI-24 Hinds and these swept in three minutes later, shooting with their cannon and rockets at targets fleeing from the road.

After another ten minutes some more URAL trucks came back down the road to load up the wounded and dead plus those who’s trucks had been destroyed.

The final count was 13 dead, 45 wounded and 2 missing. The 2 were later found in the cab of their truck, unrecognizable were an RPG had hit. 1 BMP and 4 trucks were left behind and burnt. The rest of the convoy continued onto the airport driving through a hail of fire.

OOC Hope you don’t take that as a GODMOD, if you have any arguments I can change it.

OOC: RPG in a tunnel? i hope that guy is on his own or he just killed anyone within 15ms behind or to the sides of him...

IC:
The rocket roared up the passge it's warhead erupting as it plowed into one of the many incoveinentaly placed pipe mouts, showering the advacing Crookfur troops in hot shrapnel which sythed through weak spots in the troops armour, casuing a total of 5 causualties, momentarily stunned the soldiers return fire filling the tunnel ahead with rifle and shotgun fire.


Above group the perimeter defense teams were not slow to react to the probing incursion and within minutes mortar and machinegun fire began to rain down in support of the Guardsmen. Mean while a platoon sized force circles unseen behind the raiders catching them ina deadly cross fire.

IC1:
Outside the newly captured airport, corpses & burning vehicles can be seen. The lieutenant in charge of the raid, seeing the two helicopters coming in & the crookfurian soldiers surrounding him and his men decided to retreat. They had done enough damage for today. The rest of his militiamen retreated into the thick and wild forests surrounding the airport.

After 30 minutes of running, he stopped his men to count the dead & wounded: 190 KIA, 70 WIA & 10 Missing...

After the convoy is secured, the Imperial Guardsmen & Crookfurian soldiers hear cries for help. They see 10 men lying on the ground, wounded.

IC2:
The rocket is fired in the small tunnel killing 5 Crookfurians. However, the operator of the deadly device was also killed, shortly after by combined rifle and shotgun fire.
With little less than 38 men, the captain of the last airport garrison needs to take drastic actions to inflict more casualties to the foreign invaders. He decides to make collapse some passages that he cannot hold due to shortage of men. In seconds, 10 passage ways are collapsed. Now, he thinks, there is only 6 other ways to come into the final bunker.... what can he do?
He sets up numerous booby traps on 4 of the remaining passages with a squad of 5 men at the end of them to fight to the death. THe 2 remaining passages are fortified using sandbags & crates and men take positions with high caliber weapons. The rest of the 38 soldiers are sent to hide in the bunker for a final showdown...

IC3:
In New-Quebec, the battle rages. The invading soldiers are now securely positioned in hundreds of buildings. They have only lost 3,000 men compared to the 15,000 for the Reformists and 800 soldiers of the British Communists expeditionnary force.
Captain Sobieski orders his men & the Alliance soldiers not to destroy any buildings since New-Quebec is almost entirely made up of historical buildings and monuments. The 197,000 Imperials will have to be cleared the old fashion way...

The fighting intensifies in New-Quebec as the invading Imperials are now within sight of the Parliament. They have almost 60% of the whole city. However, stif resistance is being put up by the Reformists to hold their symbol of democracy.
Up to date, 95,000 Reformists have died along 60,000 Imperials in the streets of the capital.

IC1:

The flanking platoon puts up a short chase to make sure the retreat isn't a ruse then doubles back to check on the wounded one of the squad a cpl Harrison pulls to a halt.
"Sir there's soemthing fishy about those screamers sir, i mean would you scream as much in that situation, plus i can remeber one of the FACs talking about old cluster getting dropped around here."

"Well Corporal you may have soemthing, i'll signal for the dog team to be brought in." Turning to the wounded, "You men, we are coming to help you but we belive that there may be some unexploded ordinance in an around your postion, we'll have to check it out or we will be endagering your lives."

IC2:
Deep in the tunnels the crookfur advance had slowed as the troops became more cautious, after encountering a couple of bloackages they begin to feel they are being herded towards trouble.

One squad blunders right into a booby trapped corridor losing 4 men to the explosives and fire from the defenders before pulling back and passing the news to other units, further slowing the advance as the pointmen carefully check every inch of ground ahead and peek round corners using fibre optic periscope devices. using grenades they clear the remaining booby trapped coridors and surpess the fortified psotions losing a futher 6 men but eliminating the fortifications with well placed 40mm grenades.

Getting close to the bunker the shout ahead ordering the remainign defenders to surrender.

IC3: As the imperial advance finally begins to slow near the parliament a massive Crookfur bomber raid lands on thier rear quarters. Under the cover of the furious fire storm the now fully deployed forces from the 2 allied airbases make thier move, headed by thier MBT-7 Grey Mambas and supported by thier newly arrived helicopter gunships 2 large colums of troops smash into the imperialist troops outside the city aiming to cut the infantry off from their supply lines and catch them between 2 forces. The thrird division of troops leads artillery support, thier lightweight 160mm guns raining fire on command, artillery and logisitc postions, releasing massed salvos before moving to new postions.

IC1: Few men are left to defend the last bunker of the 3rd airport attacked by alliance troops. However, these few men are well armed and equiped: dozens of assault rifles and hundreds of grenades in crates lie in the small but robust bunker. In all they are 24, including 3 wounded. Using anything they can, they form the last set of barricades. Each soldier takes at least a dozen grenades & all the ammo they can carry. They now await the Crookfurian troops to blast the only door of the bunker. After that, they will fight to the death using their grenades first and then firing bursts of rifle fire at the doorway.

IC2: The imperial troops charging the parliament are met by a surprise bomber raid. Hundreds die as the explosions are as big as city blocks. However, these soldiers have orders and they keep pressing on. At some point, a squad manages to enter the parliament by means of an open/blasted way. More Imperials follow. The Reformists, caught by surprise, hold surprinsingly well and manage to contain the Imperials to the lower levels of the parliament.

5,000 Imperials lay dead all around the parliament.

In other parts of the city, the surprise arrival of Crookfurian troops do not shake the attacker's confidence as they press their attack on any Alliance units they see. THey are cunning and await strategic moments to attack Crookfurians. However, days of fighting begin to take their toll. They are slowly pushed back from their positions as more of them die....

IC3:
Outside the capital of New-Quebec, the besieging High-General receives news that the situation is becoming sour in the city. Also receiving news that Crookfurians are going to cut him off, he decides to send all of his force in a direct assault of the capital. He hopes to force the Alliance troops to fight in an urban battle.
Nearly 2 million soldiers along with hundreds of tanks and APCs charge the suburban areas of the capital. They are quickly taken due to the low number of Parliament soldiers left. The Imperials continue their drive towards the heart of the city, mining the suburban roads and booby-trapping the suburban houses.

OOC: well, was real busy since last post and I've grown tired of this civil war. So I'll just sa real fast what happened.

- The Imperials are beaten out of New-Quebec, suffering staggering losses
- Many Imperial generals defect to the Republican side after the defeat at the capital.
- The mopping up of the few thousand Imperials left takes 5 months. The war ends with jubilation everywhere.
- The republican outlaw the Imperial political party or any other form of party that wishes to reclaim the throne of FPC. Strict measures are put to be sure that this will not be violated... previous sympathisers of the Imperial army are arrested, many are sent to jails/labour camps. Thousands others are shot. The military is everywhere with secret spy rings operating to catch any info about a possible Imperial cell

So, basically, FPC is back to a Republican state. However, there are no more elections since there is only one party, the Reformists. The Prime minister is Captain Sobieski.

OOC: Sorry M8 i kind of got caught up and forgot about this thread for which i can only appologise .

IC: the Crookfur forces and government are pleased with another succesful operation in defence of peace and stability within FPC, however they are a bit concerned with the soemwhat draconian and totalitarian meaures used in the aftermath of the conflict.

ooc: no prob, I forgot too and grew tired of it.

IC:
The Prime Minister Sobieski wishes to reassure the government of Crookfur in wich these measures are only temporary. These are needed to restore peace and stability throughout the country wich has been engulfed in civil war for so long.

IC 2:
In a secret farmhouse, a dozen hooded suspects meet each other. They sit at a table and begin to talk. For the entire night, they talk and talk. At dawn, they have finaly reached an agreement. They all take vows to destroy the Republic wich as now been corupted with the arrival of PM Sobieski...
