Point of Conflict: Lucas Beach

-

Several small gray shapes started to loom on the horizon over the position Lucas Beach in Southern Cartoria. Maybe 10 or 20 miles offshore, the first ships of the ASW armada were approaching over the horizon. On the decks of the leading Nimitz carriers, Blitzkrieg, Iron Fist, Debilitator, and Dauntless crewmen were scrambling numerous Eurofighters. After the Eurofigthers had scrambled, several TU-180 bombers started up their engines and brought up a slow descent behind the Eurofighters which had slowed to a crusing speed. The bombers started to take the lead, in traditional attack formation.

Several hundred landing craft were being prepared and released into the water. 5th Infantry, 18th Anti-tank, and 4th Armoured were expected in under an hour. The first wave, 3rd Armoured and 1st Infantry had hit the waters and were headed out into the water.

On the decks of the destroyers and frigates, 12 inch cannons were being trained on bunker emplacements planted into the beach. 10 more minutes at full speed, and the ships would be in range of the beach-head.

As the first bombers approached, they split up and ascended into the air, opening bomb-hatch doors for the initial napalm run.

Alarms have been sounded at the 3rd airborne base in central cartoria 100 hairrer jets have been deployed and another 900 are on call.....


They have flight plans to intercept the forces with extream force if need be

The 100 TU-180 bombers continue their rise up into a thick cloud cover over the beach and open bomb hatces. The loud whistle sounds out over the island as several shells loaded with napalm plumet down at the beach.

The preceding fighters come up from the rear of the bombers, speeding ahead with targets to intercept aircraft predicted to rise from an aircraft base maybe 3 or 4 miles from the initial beachhead. Several are hit underneath by small arms and defensive battery placement fire, and several fighters have their fuel tanks pierced. They immediately erupt into flames.

The first ships come into get into range with cannons and open fire on the bunkers rooted deep into the beach, providing a covering fire for the advancing groups of landing craft hauling infantry and vehicles. The first craft touch the beach head and several tanks roll out and take lead. Infantry jump out following suit into the waters. Several are gunned down as they exit the ships.

Casualties:
42 Infantry from 1st
4 Eurofighter Typhoons
