NATIONSTATESNETWORKNEWS:
Newanchor: Just 30 minutes ago the deadline set by Brezhnekov came and passed with Al Anbari leader Saddam Hussein entrenching himself and acting defiant.
In one speech, experts on the arab language say he was clearly calling to terrorist attacks on the nations arrayed against.
It was a quiet and unnerving 30 minutes.
But our reporters in Oman and Jordan have reported that fully loaded bombers and fighters now taking off and headed into Saudi, Syria and Iraq.
Sources are reporting that several cruise missiles have been fired from ships in the persian gulf and red sea headed toward Al Anbar and Al Anbar occupied territory.
Live video shows a tomahawk cruise missile firing out of the launcher of the battleship WBS Brezhnekov.
Secretary General Brezhnekov is expected to address the nation in an hour.
Meantime we go to Dave Howard, our reporter at the HQ of coalition forces in Jordan.
Howard: Yes Diane, as you have heard there is quite a bit of activity here as aircraft are being loaded with ordinance and headed into saudi and syrian airspace.
Just minutes ago, the 15th Mechanized had reported in that they have officially crossed the border in Al Anbar occupied Saudi Arabia and report they have not yet encountered resistance. Meantime, the other units here and in the nations of Bahrain, Qatar, UAE, Oman, and Yemen are also rolling toward the border as we speak.

With Dr_Twist Troops nearly in position we give our Support to Whitter in this Campaign.

We now have the Supreme Commander of Coalition forces in the MidEast theater of operation.
SC Williamson: The battle for the liberation of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia has begun. We have sent in 12 AWACS planes into the air space around Al Anbar and Al Anbar occupied territory. We are currently attacking their radar, air defense sites, and communications capabilities.
We have fired cruise missiles into Baghdad targeting the Interior Ministry, the TV and radio stations and the Ministry of Defense.
That is all I can give at this time.
And yes, coalition partners are involved in the attacks.

The Colonial Union Council has approved of the existance of Al Anbar as has seen no Imperialistic, no Oppression, and no attempt to harm The People of Al Anbar. Therefore, without further proof, the Colinial Union Council has approved of Defensive Measures to defend the Nation of Al Anbar, even as it knows it has a......leader.....of unpratical skills.

However, if the Nation of Al Anbar has proof against the Colonial Union Councils decision given by Nations opposing the Nation of Al Anbar, the Colonial Armed Forces will destroy the Regime of Al Anbar and occupy the Nation of Al Anbar to ensure peace is restored without compramising the current Peoples choice of culture.

coming from the North

We now end our neutrality. We will send our army of
150,000 ground troops with M16A2s with grenade attachment
1,000 light mortars
10,000 RPG-7 soldiers
500 M60A2 tanks
50 125mm Paladins

12F-16Cs
24 F-15Cs
24 F-15Es
12 F-14Ds
12 F/A-18Cs
4 B-52Gs

I have ordered our Surface Action Group of the 1st fleet to deploy in the INidan ocean with
4 Burke DDGs
2 Ticonderoga CGs
2 Spruance DDGs
1 Perry FFG

+ 2 688i subs
TLAMs are being launched at various installations

that is all I have to send right now.

You might wanna do a little more research in future NV

OOC: Tell me to when you get to any cities. (in the land campaign). I also want exact numbers of aircraft attacking what and where. No WMDs, no future tech, scifi, or anything other than modern or older equip.

IC:

The Iraqi Interior Ministry was hit by the cruise missiles, and was heavily damaged, with a big hole in the top of the building. The television and radio buildings in Baghdad had also been hit, but it did not interrupt any broadcasting of Iraqi television or radio, as broadcasting had already been moved to mobile transmitters. The Ministry of Defense had been slightly damaged, with cruise missiles hitting into the courtyard.

On Iraqi Television, President Saddam Hussein appeared and gave a short speech on the start of the war, and announced that the enemy will be defeated. There was also pictures of several houses destroyed when a cruise missile went off course and hit a residential area approximately a kilometer away from the Ministry of Defense.

Iraqi Air Defense had been monitoring the AWACs aircraft for some time, waiting for it to get into range of some of the long range SAMs. And then it happened; it entered a SAM nest. Four SA-10 missiles, four SA-2 missiles, five SA-5s.

You have a problem he is a space nation so by what you said earlier he wont be able to get involved

Quote/ OOC: Tell me to when you get to any cities. (in the land campaign). I also want exact numbers of aircraft attacking what and where. No WMDs, no future tech, scifi, or anything other than modern or older equip.

I also do agree to those terms and we Haven’t invaded or done anything to your nation yet.

So, are we going to consolidate all this RP into this thread?

As Eredronian air, naval and ground forces continue their mobilization, the first wave of Eredronian Stryker ICBMs were launched towards military and government targets in southeast Iraq.

Mobilization is expected to take another 48 hours.

Secretary General Brezhnekov steps to the podium. He folds his hands and looks down, says a prayer, looks around at the gathered reporters and into the cameras arrayed before him.
"Tonight the battle has been joined. Coalition forces, led by Whittier, are now in the process of liberating Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Lebanon. No national leader easily sends his people off to war just on a whim. However, as the world sought a peaceful solution, Saddam prepared for war. I prefer peace, not war. My God is a God of peace. Let there be no mistake. We will have casualties. Some Whittierites in the Middleeast will not be coming home. But I am convinced that the through the horror of combat operations, will come the recognition that no nation can stand against a world united against aggression and tyranny.
Saddam Hussein has gassed his own people on numerous occasions. Even forcing them to mutilate themselves. On numerous occasions, Saddam has either attacked or bullied his neighbors.
Just a three days ago, Saddam sought to expand his rule of oppression and tyranny to the peaceloving peoples of Lebanon, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia. It our determination to drive him ought and restore the autonomy of those nations.
I am convince not only that we will prevail but that out of this war will emerge a better foundation for middle eastern peace and world peace as well.
Till the troops going into battle finish their work, it is our goal to bring them back as soon as possible. May God bless them and their families, may he bless our allies in this mission, and may he bless the United Socialist States of Whittier.

I'll go ahead and repost my stats for my "invasion force" here.

4 icbm's have been launched against al anbarian fortifications in and around baghdad.

4 icbm's have been launched against al anbarian fortifications in and around baghdad.

OOC: Nuclear? What type of 'ICBM's, if not?

Greg Hammertine reports live from Baghdad:
The officials here are very upset and some have begun lashing out at foreign media.
Some one tossed a mortar inside the hall way of the defense ministry and people here were very upset that there was a mortar on the floor.
Fortunately though, it did not go off. And we were evacuated without incident except for the tomahawks raining down on the city. As you can hear, the air raid sirens have been activated and you can see the cruise missiles streaking to their targets.
That popping sounds you here are Iraqi anti aircraft fire trying to shoot down the cruise missiles.
Live video: Shows large explosions behind the reporter who is standing on the roof of the Baghdad Hilton Hotel.

The lighting up of AA radars has allowed our F-16Cs to launch HARM missiles at the sites. They aren't detected on passive radar because they use ESM gear to lock on targets and ESM doesn't emmit energy.

(tag for battle damage asessment BDA)

Baghdad Hilton Hotel.

OOC: Make that the Palestine Hotel.

Secondly, you cannot report anything really that is anti-government, for everyone has a government minder. That goes for everyone that wishes to have a crew in Iraq.

Also, equipment and all of that is really well checked, and if there is the little cause to suspect that it may not be the piece of equipment that it is supposed to be, it is confiscated.

To Al-abnar, my offer of political asylum still stands for your leader, perhaps accepting it would stop the bloodshed from becoming too great.

IM torn as that. I would love to go to war with Al Anber but do to hostilitys in the past i would love to improve my ties with him. Hmmmm

The Dominion of LeberMac states that it is with the Whittier coalition in spirit, if not with actual forces. Currently our small nation's forces are busy rooting out terrorist squatters from some of our outlying territorial islands.

IM torn as that. I would love to go to war with Al Anber but do to hostilitys in the past i would love to improve my ties with him. Hmmmm

OOC: It's better to just stay out of this. :)

Fluffy can be Israel, I will act as some ex-commie Eastern European nation, lets say, Poland.

The mortor didn't come from the journalists. How else were they evacuated except by minders.

OCC: What is the BDA and response from the SEAD missions

(the icbms were a non-nuclear type capable of causing huge damage, but they were not nukes or moabs)

Our F-15Cs are ready to engage fighters once the Falcons take out the SAMs. Our invasion force has entered Iraq from Turkey.

We have 15 PacII Patriot missile launchers with our force and 25 Vulcan AA guns

I will be sending the Invincable Aegir naval Fleet to the Persian Gulf. We will provide light air bombing and selective cruise missile bombings on Al Anber forces.

The carrier battle groups Bastion, Intrepid, Stalwart, and Morning Glory are making their way through the Indian Ocean, protected by a heavy air patrol of F-22Es.

Meanwhile, a second wave of Stryker ICBMs, conventionally armed, were fired into southeastern Saudi Arabia at Al Anbar ground emplacements.


More information on all unique Eredron units can be found here (http://www.angelfire.com/tx5/dr_no/units.htm)

All whittierite land forces are now in Al Anbari occupied territory.

Terronian, the Invincible bit better just be a title. You already recieved you last warning...

Although Jarridia can see the clear view of the coalition forces and feel that their motives in this issue are justified in supporting the freedom of Kuwait and Saudi, we must (at this time) refrain from action. Therefore we formally declare our neutrality on this issue. However, if this shall escalate to something more aggressive, we may rethink our stance.

-President Branam of Jarridia

Terronian, the Invincible bit better just be a title. You already recieved you last warning...

OOC:Tt is a title. It was named to that fleet when it defeated a way bigger fleet in a war i had when i had my old nation. Its just a title.

Our forces are all in Iraq thanks to Dr. Twist.

The Kurds are coming out in droves to welcome the liberating armies from the Norht. Our troops morale is greatly boosted

Aegir Fleet departs Terria Harbor and is heading towards The Indian ocean.

OOC: Isnt that like godmodding. I thought Al ANber would control his own populaces actions.

OCC: The Kurds would hate your Saddam. They would welcome an invasion. I am just staying accurate.

What is the BDA?

forget the kurd thing

Aegir Fleet reaches Indian Ocean is is preparing to enter Persian Gulf. OOC: Is there any other countrys fleets there?

OCC: The Kurds would hate your Saddam. They would welcome an invasion. I am just staying accurate.

OOC: Not exactly.

Where are your forces, and where are they going? They haven't entered any city yet, as you haven't stated that.

IDF, I think you shouldn't invade me, for I will crush you. I have more forces than you and you are the only one (I think?) that is invading from the north.

Secondly, from what I have seen, the point of this is not to overthrow me, but to get me out of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. That's on the other side of the map.

OOC: I will have four carrier groups in the vicinity; two east of Saudi in the Persian Gulf, two west in the Red Sea.

We would like to tell AA, we are not alone. Dr. twist and his 8 million strong army is invading form Turkey in the North

We would like to tell AA, we are not alone. Dr. twist and his 8 million strong army is invading form Turkey in the North

OOC: No, he isn't. Not right now, anyway.

The invasion force is going back to Turkey to wait for Twist. We are continuing missile strikes. Our sead missions are launched from Turkey and launching from their side of the border.

Whittier's 15th Mechanized is approaching the outskirts of Damascus.

Whittier's 15th Mechanized is approaching the outskirts of Damascus.

And you invaded from Oman/Yemen/UAE/etc.

And now they are in Syria.

RIGHT!

We are moving our forces to Damascus to join Whittier. Our planes are en-route with bombs aboard

OOC: This conflict is becoming stupid.

IDF, I have nothing against you, but you need to learn how to RP.

Whittier, you have started to godmod now. You also need to learn how to stop lying about everything. :)

OOC: Am I the only one having to mobilize and transport troops to the area? :? Some seem to be moving a little too fast IMO.

Didn't you say that you are now neutral?

Me?

OOC: eh, I guess not. I can't find it now. Nevermind. :)

Mohammad’s first indication of how unusual this operation really was came at Sicilian Airlines. Driven there in an unmarked van, they ended up in the general aviation part of the facility and found a private jet waiting for them. The soldiers boarded the aircraft, which, they saw, was less and executive plane than a mini airliner. The plane even had stewardess who served drinks. Each man stowed his gear and began to drink, except Mohammad who was to tired to even look at the young lady. He barely noted the planes takeoff and was asleep before the climb out was finished.

The jet landed after a flight of little under two hours. Once on the ground it taxied to the cargo terminal at the small airport. Mohammad awoke still short of the sleep that he needed when the planes door was wretched open. His first observation was that there wasn’t much air here. It seemed an odd observation and he wrote it off for the usual confusion following a nap. “Where the hell are we?” a soldier asked. “They’ll tell you outside,” the attendant replied “Y’all have a nice time here.”

The soldiers collected their bags and headed out of the aircraft, finding another van waiting for them. The air was very thin here and in the west Mohammad saw why. The last glow of the sunset illuminated the outlines of the mountains to the west. He knew at once that they were somewhere in Malta.

OOC: Alright they are basically Arab Spec Ops that are going to be trained in Mountain, Desert, and Urban warfare. There are only 12 of them, because I didn’t want to go through with the headache of invading Al Anbar with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, when all these nations are ganging up on him. Just for reference Watertest occupies Italy, Switzerland, Malta, and Corsica.

IC:

Colonial Outpost Doujin has launched a squadron of eight XSF-04 Star Phantom's to patrol the skies over Al Anbar, as we have yet to find proof, even if a peom and decleration were somewhat disturbing yet unproviding of hostilities towards allies or The People of Nodea Rudav.

EDIT: THESE ARE MODIFIED F-4 Phantom II's WITH THE TECHNOLOGICAL GRADING TO BE EASILY INSERTING INTO MODERN TECH.

OOC: My fleet is entering the Persian gulf, as non-aggressors. We will not fire on Hussein,unless he fires on us, or uses a weapon of mass destruction (nuclear, biological, or chemical).

OOC: Uh, Nodea. That's not modern tech. That's future/scifi tech.

OCC: I am a learning noob who will learn from experience.

Our 12 F-16Cs are flying in from Poland. They each have 6 HARMs and 2 AAMRAMs, plus a Mk-84 2,000 pound bomb.

Our 24 F-15Cs are flying CAP to take out fighters with a load out of 2 AIM Phoenix missiles, 2 AAMRAMs, and 4 AASRAMs.

24 F-15Es are loaded with 2 AAMRAMs, 2 Sidewinders, 3 Mk-84s, and 6 AGM-65 Mavericks.

Our 12 A-10s are loaded with 4 Sidewinders, and 12 Maverick AT missiles

These forces are being sortied around to clock to bomb Syrian positions.

Our fleets are still launching TLAMs

OOC:

Al Anbar, if you want a long Scientific explanation on how this IS possible with the CURRENT JENT PURPOLSION TECHNOLOGY AND METALLURGY, then I shall do it. Otherwise, leave me to be a fair and honest role player while saying that these JET FIGHTERS are MODIFIED F-4 Phantom II's!!!!!!!!

Whittier's 15th Mechanized is approaching the outskirts of Damascus.

OOC: Uh. Right.

And you invaded from Oman/Yemen/UAE/etc.

And now they are in Syria.

RIGHT!
The 15th went in from Jordan. Didn't you read the first post?

We are maneuvering our forces to invade Syria.

OOC: No. Do we have fighters right now that simply go out into space whenever? No.

Just because we may have the materials to make such things, doesn't mean it is viable. Even if it was, it would take years and years of research and development to do this. Just look how long it took them to attach a couple of bombs/rockets on the Predator drone IRL.

UPDATE

Twenty Minutes until arrival of Star Phantom squadron.

124 B1 Stealth bombers under the escort of 400 F35's have begun bombing Damascus as the 15th mech waits to enter the city.

UPDATE

Twenty Minutes until arrival of Star Phantom squadron.

OMG!! It does not exist in today's arsenals nor is it being planned. Not a modern tech

Dear Al Anbar

To prevent myself from flaming, being vulger, insulting a fellow role player, and many other things, I shall say in my defense that these are MODIFIED F-4 Phantom II's, do I make myself clear?

My infantry and armored divs are entering Syria. They will soon rendevouz with Whittier

UPDATE

Twenty Minutes until arrival of Star Phantom squadron.Turn back or you will be destroyed.

124 B1 Stealth bombers under the escort of 400 F35's have begun bombing Damascus as the 15th mech waits to enter the city.

I hate it when people just say "BOMBING". SPECIFY.

Otherwise, I'll take it as you are levelling the entire city.

I think both sides will ifre on the star phantoms

Transmission to Wittier

We are not intending on defending Al Anbar, only scouting the skies above the Nation.....just incase we intend to attack Al Anbar when they attack us for an unknown reason as proof of Imperialism.

My infantry and armored divs are entering Syria. They will soon rendevouz with Whittier

OOC: IDF, really, learn. You're not going to be able to drive across Syria.

My bombing is of troops and military sites, gov sites, and comms. We will fire even if civilians are there, but NOT target civilians. wE are calling all civilians to flee before our forces get there

OOC: This conflict sucks. No one except (me and perhaps one other) knows how to RP.

One person wants to drive across Syria to get to its capital. They are launching some sort of missiles, but who knows what they are?

The other is bombing a city. But not telling what they are bombing. They have driven across the border and now are "just outside" of Damascus "waiting to come in".

Another has a scifi tech. Specifically, I said no scifi tech.

Another has come here about WMDs, when neither side is going to use them and one side doesn't even have them.

sigh.

We are moving from the north into Syria. The forces in Syria were crushed by Whittier. Little resistance expected.

With the exception of the aircraft over Damascus,
whittier's air force and navy continue to focus on destroying Al Anbar's antiaircraft and radar sites.
We are also bombing the units nearest the borders. And important Al Anbari infrastructure.
The 15th is the first to reach a city. The rest are still moving along in Al Anbar occupied territory.

UPDATE

Fifteen Minutes until Star Phantom arrival

OOC:

For the Respect of Fellow Role Players, I shall later change the name of the Star Phantom's to reflect their modification upon a currently existing F4 Phantom II fighter platform.

OUr planes are over Damascus. F-16s are hitting AAA and SAM sites. F-15Cs have fired on the other planes. Our strike Eagles are bombing as are our A-10s

(await BDA)

We are moving from the north into Syria. The forces in Syria were crushed by Whittier. Little resistance expected.
OOC: I don't think so. Syria is part of AA proper. He's got a mess of troops there. That is why Damascus is being bombed, cause the 15th is expecting a large scale firefight from Iraqi forces in the city.

With the exception of the aircraft over Damascus,
whittier's air force and navy continue to focus on destroying Al Anbar's antiaircraft and radar sites.

WHAT ARE YOU BOMBING IN DAMASCUS? ARE LEVELLING THE CITY?

With what are you bombing everything else?

WHY IS IT THAT HARD TO BE SPECIFIC? I am specific at most times. Just look at my military thread. VERY SPECIFIC.

cancel the troop movements and continuing bombing. Troops not to move till tomorrow.

We are hitting the targets specified above.

OCC: my missiles as earlier mentioned are TLAMs

I will shoot down star phantoms that enter

OOC:

Al Anbar, forgive my earlier......confrontation with you. I apologize and request the acknologemnet of the fighters sent to patrol for no obvious reason. If they are considered future tech still, I will fire the Stupidity Beam on the fighters and declare them non-existant.

GOvernment and military sights in Damascus are being bombed.

OOC: I must be tired. I will get you those specs from the other post.

Government buildings inside of Damascus have been levelled or heavily damaged, but casualities have been light. Most of the buildings had been abandoned at the start of the war.

Civilian casualities have also sprang up from these heavy bombings. Over 1,142 civilians have been killed or wounded.

Military positions have not been heavily damaged, as most of the forces have taken up positions within houses and at most times, are now wearing civilian clothing.

Anti-aircraft has continued to be fired on the fighters and bombers. Radars are turned "on and off" in quick succession, so that they can position their SAM and then fire. While inaccurate, it still does have a good kill rate.

"As a result of negotiation betweent he government of Al Anbar and our own it has been decided that a disbatchment of 250,000 soldiers will be placed under the command of the Al Anbar miltary. This is the largest single dispatch of soldiers ever transported and will arrive via transport vessels within a matter of day"

Senator Ivanna Cuvalo
Misnter for National Defence

We have lost 2 F-15Es, 1 F-15 Charlie, no F-16s since they are on passive ESM only

OCC: If radars are turned on and off, it doesn't work. the missiles with the speed and range necessary are immobile if radar is on and can still be targeted

Allied forces have blockaded AA, they will probably fail to arrive

IC: whittier forces that are now in AA occupied lands.
The first fleet is attacking from the Persian Gulf.
The 1st and 5th Mechanized have entered Syria from Jordan and they are the ones surrounding Damascus. (where did I get 15th from?)
Oh I see, its the 15th Marine division and it was in Bahrain, not Jordan, sorry about that AA. They are there to ensure that Saddam does not try for land grab in Bahrain. So they are stationary and entrenched.
The first infantry was in Jordan and has also entered Syria.
And the 182nd airborne is boarding planes to paradrop into the area around Riyadh. (where I suspect them to engage a large amount of hardline Republican Guard units, that's why I'm sending them instead of the infantry.)

15th airwing composed of Golden Dragons (based on a plane which the US airforce has just begun procuring).
Skyeye, our military sat. is watching all enemy and allied troops movements from above and occasionally peering into buildings to see if it can get a glimpse of Saddam. Real time battlefield data is being relayed to the ground troops who are armed with AK47's, SA 80's, and M249s.

This conflict is full of...

half of the 25,000 marines that were in Jordan are now in Syria. The rest staying behind to defend Jordan.

OOC: The problem is, as I have found out, is that almost no one involved in this knows how to RP.

OOC:

Really, Al Anbar, then state what I AM DOING WRONG please.....

IC:

For no reason at all, all fighters have been called back and will return to Colonial Outpost Doujin in......15 Minutes.....

these are the stats on the aircraft bombing Al Anbar:

OOC: Have to go. We can finish this tommorrow.

Wonder if Roania will see this. He'll go nuts ...

OOC: Holy Shit, what is with all the instantly appearing armies? Correct me if I'm wrong but don't you need to

1) Declare what you intensions are and prepare for any possible missions
2) Begin the mission, clearly stating your targets and giving the other side a chance to respond
3) Proceed to the attack point\attack\give enemy nation a chance to respond

Damn, RPing is supposed to be fun, not a bone wrenching bitch slap contest :roll:


Mohammad awoke with the headache that accompanies the initial exposure to a thin atmosphere. He turned his head left and right inspecting his environment through the orange light that came through the windows. The building would be called a barracks by anyone who did not live in one. To Mohammad it seemed more like a hunting camp, a guess that was accurate. He counted a total of 14 metal frame bunk beds with a brown GI blanket and mattress. The sheets however were fitted with elastic on the corner so there wouldn’t be any of that bouncing quarter bullshit which was fine with him. Reveille came in the form of an electric buzzer, the kind ciated with a cheap alarm clock. That was good news. No bugle—he hated bugles in the morning. Bodies stirred around him at once, to the usual accompaniment of wake-up grumbles and profanity. “Who are you?” The man in the next bunk said while staring at the floor. “Mohammad, Staff Sergeant. Bravo, 3rd of the 17th.” “Vega, Headquarters Company 1\22. Get in last night?” “Yeah what gives here?” asked Mohammad. “Well I don’t know but they sure did run us to death yesterday, but, one good thing about this place is that you get all the hot water you want and no Mickey Mouse on the housekeeping. Now if they could turn the ----ing heat on at night” The two soldiers joined a loose trail of soldiers going to the showers.

Mohammad looked around. Everybody seemed fit, even accounting for the fact that they were soldiers. A few were obvious iron-pumpers, but most had the lean, wiry look of long distance runners. One other thing that was so obvious that it took him a half minute to notice was that they were all Arab’s. The shower helped, there were even enough sinks for everyone to shave, and the toilets stalls even had doors. Whoever ran the place gave them twenty-five minutes to get it together. It was almost civilized. Civilization ended promptly at 0630, the men got into their uniforms and moved outside. Here Mohammad saw four men standing in a line. They had to be officers, you could tell from the posture and the expression. There was a older man behind the officers who spoke to the soldiers “Good morning, people!, for all of you that don’t know me I’m colonel brown. You newcomers, welcome to our little mountain hideaway. You’ve already gotten into your proper squads, and the team is complete." The four other officers were walking towards the assembly. They were PT instructors. You could always tell from the clean white T-shirts and the confidence that they could work anyone in the ground. “I hope everyone got a good night’s sleep”, brown went on “We will start today with a little exercise—“ “Sure” Vega muttered “might as well die before breakfast.” “and a nice three mile run through the hills” brown ended. “That’s no big deal”, Mohammad observed.

They started off with the daily dozen, and the number of repeats wasn’t that bad, though Mohammad found himself breaking a slight sweat. It was the run that told him how hard things would get. As the sun rose above the mountains, he got a feel for what the country was like. In the first mile, they had climbed over five hundred feet, snaking their way between numerous switchbacks to a rocky knoll. There wasn’t much of a formation anyway; just a single-file line of men struggling to keep pace with a faceless robot who’s white shirt beckoned them to destruction. Mohammad, who hadn’t run less than two miles, every day for the last two years of his life, was gasping for breath. He wanted to say something like “There isn’t any ----ing air” But he didn’t want to waste oxygen. He thought to himself God I thought I was in shape! Hell I am in shape.

OOC: It's time for the godmoding to end, or I myself will start ignoring some people.

Moving under full steam, as the four carrier groups neared the Arabian Peninsula, they split in half. The Bastion and Intrepid groups turned westward into the Gulf of Aden and north into the Red Sea, travelling roughly 20 miles parallel with the coast of Saudi Arabia.

The Bastion carrier group slowed as it came even with the city of Mecca, and Jiddah; the Intrepid continued north to the Gulf of Aqaba(sp?).

The other two moved through the Gulf of Oman, with the Morning Glory battle group taking up station off the eastern coast of Saudi, just north of the United Arab Emirates and south of Qatar. The Stalwart carrier group continued north through the Persian Gulf, holding position off the coast of the Saudi/Kuwaiti border.

Using 5 inch guns and 155mm howitzers, the six Zumwalt Land Attack Destroyers in each carrier group opened fire on Al Anbar military targets up to 100 miles inland using intel from orbiting reconnaissance satellites.

As the naval bombardment continued, the first of approximately 50 F-22E Firehawks took off from each carrier.

http://fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/9733940.jpg

Flying over Saudi Arabia at nearly 1,000 mph, each Firehawk carried two 1,000 pound JDAMs. Flying over Mecca, Jiddah, Al Juba, Ad Dammar and other areas occupied by Al Anbar, the F-22Es dropped their payload over Al Anbar military sites, strafed enemy positions with their 20mm gatling guns, then circled around to return to their carriers.

(You can post what kind of AA/SAM defenses you have, and I will record damage on fighters.)

Approximately 100,000 troops have moved into Southern Saudi Arabia.
The 5th Mechanized Division and the 7th Mechanized Division have moved into the Rub al Khali Desert. The 1st Infantry Division and the 3rd Mechanized Division have occupied Jizan and Narjan. They are moving towards Abha and Khamis Mushayt. Naval forces in the Red Sea are attacking Jeddah as we speak. The fighting is fierce but we are making progress.

The battle group has 1 Carrier (USS Constelation)
1 New York class BB (from 1916), USS Arizona, modified with 16 TLAMs, 20 ESSM SAMs, 15 SM-1MR SAMs, and 8 Harpoon missiles
2 Ticonderoga class CGs (noral loadout) USS Bunker Hill, USS Valley Forge

so much godmodding.

(You can post what kind of AA/SAM defenses you have, and I will record damage on fighters.)

OOC: AAA/SAMs are relatively few in Saudi Arabia. There are SA-2s, SA-8s based in Jiddah and 4 SA-2's and 25 57mm AAA in Ad-Dammar. Secondly, I'd like to point out that my soldiers aren't in 'trenches' or somesuch, but simple in the buildings, streets, etc. of the cities. If you strafe the street, you kill not only my men by civilians.

IC:

The people in Mecca were outraged! The bombing, which did not hit anything military but damaged the holy sites in the city made the people vow revenge against the "infidel imperialists". The people of the city were quiet when Al Anbar took over the city a few days ago and there was relatively little support for the occupation, but now the people in Mecca and as news spread around Al Anbar of the bombing, support for the occupation grew.

Relatively few casualities came from the naval bombardment to the Iraqi troops. There was more casualities to the civilian population and more damage to the civilian infrastructure.

The support of the people of Saudi Arabia and much of Al Anbar was quickly soldifying for Al Anbar. Not only was there now non-Muslims entering the holy land of Saudi Arabia, but now they were attacking Muslim holy sites.

I'm willing to accept some collateral civilian damage, but I refuse to accept that none of the designated military sites were hit. Please try to balance this in the future. Second, my strafing was meant to be on armored columns and troops moving into the city, etc, but I realize the confusion this lack of detail could create.

OOC: There are no 'military sites'. There are no military bases or such that can be hit. It has only been three, four, maybe five days since I invaded the country (in NS time). I wouldn't have time to build anything. It would be different in Lebanon, Syria, or Al Anbar, but otherwise, it is this way. Even in al-Anbar, you wouldn't hit much since the bases are relatively unoccupied now that the war started.

Secondly, once again, you would hit civilians. It's not like I'm forcing civilians off the streets and such when I move around.

The fleet listed earlier will be arriving in a weeks time (ie 2rl hours. I have the patience of a 4 year old ADHD Child :P)

OOC: Where are your tanks located at? Your troops? Munitions, supplies? These cannot all have been stored in civilian buildings, at least not without forcing its occupants out and therefore turning it into a military target. Surely there is a large enough % of the city populace who are opposed to Al Anbar to make it necessary to isolate your military forces from the general population.

OOC: This conflict sucks. No one except (me and perhaps one other) knows how to RP.

One person wants to drive across Syria to get to its capital. They are launching some sort of missiles, but who knows what they are?

The other is bombing a city. But not telling what they are bombing. They have driven across the border and now are "just outside" of Damascus "waiting to come in".

Another has a scifi tech. Specifically, I said no scifi tech.

Another has come here about WMDs, when neither side is going to use them and one side doesn't even have them.

sigh.

Sorry AA. I thought I said I was using Tomahawk Cruise Missiles. I don't know what the others are using.
Every one firing missiles please state what missiles they are using.

We condemn the illegal use of human shields by AA. If civilians are killed, Saddam will be held responsible in a war crimes tribunal. He has evicted people from their homes.

While we will not target civilians, Whitter told me the rules of engagement allow us to fire with civilians in the vincinity as long as they are not the targets.

OCC: There are military targets like airfields to strike.

ship and sub launched TLAMs (1,000 lb conventional warhead)

bombs are JDAM version of Mk-84 2,000 pound bombs

AA missiles can be Pheonix at long range, Aamrams at med. range and AASRAM or Sidewinders at short range

ASM missiles are HARM against air defense, AGM-65D Mavericks against armored vehicles

ship and sub launched TLAMs (1,000 lb conventional warhead)

bombs are JDAM version of Mk-84 2,000 pound bombs

AA missiles can be Pheonix at long range, Aamrams at med. range and AASRAM or Sidewinders at short range

ASM missiles are HARM against air defense, AGM-65D Mavericks against armored vehicles

OOC: this is getting out of hand.
I was too sleepy last night to really notice what was a miss though I noted the complaints.
First off, you can't just say that you are automatically in Saudi and have captured towns. No way. Second off, you have to give the other side the chance to defend the town or other position you are attacking. None of this "I attack City B and had no resistance. I take over City B" stuff.
I know missiles are identified by abreviations but could some one spell out the full names of those missiles in their next post. The full name tells us what they are and what they do.
On the outskirts of Damascus means they are 15 to 20 miles away. Any closer and they would bombed by freindly fire.
No puppets. (That means no West Moon, no southpacific, no Vernii, etc.) and I know some of you guys are using puppets here.

IC: Rules of engagement for coalition forces:
Basically read the Whittier Convention on the conduct of war.
The person who bombed the holy sites has violated the Whittier Convention on the conduct of war. The convention specifically states that holy sites may not be attacked and that those who do so are guilty of war crimes. This goes for AA forces and coalition forces alike.
Civilians may not be targeted. But if there are military targets located in civilian areas, you may attack them as long as civilians are not being attacked.
If there are troops among a column of refugees, and the troops are armed, you may attack the column to kill the troops. Try to avoid civilian deaths if possible.

OOC: I am, under no circumstances, going to be held to your Whittier Convention. And this RP is being ruined by the lack of proper roleplaying being demonstrated by certain players.

Breifing of Coalition forces:
Locations of Whittier's forces:
Contrary to what may have been believed earlier, the 1st and 5th are 20 miles away from Damascus. They will stay at this position while the bombing of military targets in Damascus continues.
On the way to Damascus they bypassed the Syrian border town of Es Suweid (25 miles north of the border), which the 1st Infantry Division is now in the process of taking.

OOC: I am, under no circumstances, going to be held to your Whittier Convention. And this RP is being ruined by the lack of proper roleplaying being demonstrated by certain players.
I am trying to correct that. Could use some help though if you could.

The 4th infantry infantry division has moved from Jordan into Saudi Arabia and is now preparing to take the border town of Kaf (located in that little corner thing where the jordanian saudi border points inward toward the jordanian capital).
The 5th and 2nd infantry division are headed south out of Jordan to the port of Haql (located in the Gulf of Aqaba).
The 7th Cavalry (also headed out of Jordan) is headed south also but will bypass Haql and go straight to the port of Maqna (also on the gulf of Aqaba but a few miles further south than Haql.

The 25th Mechanized and the 1st Cavalry (M1A2's) is out of Yemen and about to take the border town of Abu Arish on their way to the port of Qizan on the shores of the Red Sea (just a couple of miles from Abu Arish).
The 20th Cavalry (T92 mobile battle tanks) accompanied by the 58th Mechanized Infantry Detachment is taking the town of Aba As Sa' ud ( a town right on the northern border of Saudi and Yemen).
The 15th is bypassing these and the town of Sabya (just north of Abu Arish) on its way to Zahran which is 20 miles north of the border.

On the Qatar/Saudi border is the Saudi town of Salwa. We need coalition allies to take that town. The troops whittier has in Qatar are needed to ensure that nation is not invaded while our backs are turned.

On the Qatar/Saudi border is the Saudi town of Salwa. As the Whittier troops in Qatar are there only to defend Qatar from an AA attack, they are not available to engage in an offensive. Therefore, we are asking our allies to take this town if they can spare the troops.

The 15th air attack regiment (based in UAE) is currently bombing the town of Abaila (located in the middle of the Rub Al Khali region).
And the 182nd airborne division has had a change of orders. They will not longer by dropping into Riyadh but will instead be dropped onto the town of Jabrin (located on the northern edge of the Rub Al Khali region and 300 kilometers south of Riyadh [that's 175 miles])

All coalition partners please post the locations of their forces.

Damascus is 75 miles north of the Jordanian/Syrian border. It would take the mechanized units barely 3 hours to get there if they were traveling at the slow speed of 25 miles per hour.

OOC: Let me know if you guys prefer using Kilometers or miles for measuring the distances.

Our CVBG is now in position. Admiral Halsey aboard his flagship the USS Constellation has now ordered the commencing of air strikes. WE will attack Syrian positions. We are setting up a coms link with whittier where he can call in air strikes from F/A-18 fighter/bombers. We are now having our 1st infantry division containing, 25,000 assault troops with M-16A2s with grenade launcher. 250 mortar troops, 500 rocket propelled grenade soldiers with RPG-7s.

2nd armored cav. is joining them with, 250 M-60A2 tanks, 50 M1A1 Abrams tanks, and 25 M1A2 abrams tanks, plus 100 M2 Bradleys

Our 1st artillary is also in this group with 100 155mm howitzers and 12 MLRS (multiple launch rocket systems).

They have joined to form the 1st Army Corps.

They are moving from Turkey to Syria attacking Manbij in the North in their way down to Damascus.

(tag for damage report)

Cmd. Williams, squadron commander of F/A-18F squadron VF-53 on USS Constellation: tallyho, targets right beneath.

LT. Mitchell (Bones): I see them, Al Anbar tanks near civilian buildings. I don't want to harm civilians skip.

Williams: Sorry but the Rules of Engagement say we must attack them.

Bones: I know, my Radio Intercept Officer (RIO or back-seater) has AGM-65D Mavericks ready to launch.

Williams: Fire at will on target.

Bones: Roger, missile away.

Williams: relax Bones, the maverick warhead is small enough not to cause much collateral damag.

Bones: I know.

Williams: return on station and lets await more targets.

Bones: yes skipper

I have moved the 109th Stryker brigade from Egypt, across the gulf of Aqaba to Jordan and they are now headed in a northwest direction at a speed of 40 miles an hour. Their destination is top secret.

The rest of my deployed forces are still in Turkey.

Our General of all Air Forces is ordering our planes to continue to strike Syria and await calls for air support from Whittier.

OOC: Whittier and everyone: We will use this map:

I have looked at many maps of Saudi Arabia and cannot find several of the cities which Whittier talks about, so we'll use this one for consistency.

Dawn Kradii sits back in her chair, puffing a cigarette. Across from her in her dimly lit office is a Plasma Screen TV, which is the source of most of the light in the room. On it, the CNN news feed plays by her eyes, and she watches as the assult on Al Anbar continues, but for some reason its most staunch supporter, Roania, has not appeared on the scene yet. Could this be some mistake? she thought, taking another drag on her cigarette, No, our news doesn't make mistakes, Roania is clearly absent. Apparently they backstabbed Al Anbar for their oil, and, if coalition forces win, they'll probably trick them into believing that they've supported them the whole time, and get oil that way. Ah well, it'll only be a select few like myself who will be vocal about that lie when it comes. What's next, Roania? Eating babies?
With a single press of a button, the TV went off and the lights in the room came on.
"Well," she muttered, "Time to get back to work..."

Our CVBG is now in position. Admiral Halsey aboard his flagship the USS Constellation has now ordered the commencing of air strikes. WE will attack Syrian positions.

What type of unit? Division? Battalion? Regiment?
A division and battalion will not have that much equipment if it is an armored cavalry unit. (Cavalry units are composed almost entirely of MBT's) I'll have to look up the max number of tanks you can have in each type of unit.

Israeli troops, anticipating the surge of Muslims from Israel into Arab nations, took up positions on the border with Arab states, attempting to preserve Israeli neutrality. Muslims burnt coalition flags, chanted anti-coalition statements, and condemned the damage of holy sites.

The bombings of Mecca caused several militant groups to form, known collectively as the Iraqi Liberation League, to defend holy sites. Despite border gaurding, crack downs, and condemnation, it is rumored that at least 50,000 armed Arabs crossed into Al Anbar controlled lands to fight coalition forces.

I will scan the map I was using and email it to you. If you can tg me with email address to send it to.
I like your syrian map better than mine.

The 1st Marine Expeditionary Unit is moving into the Peninsula from Qatar. It is a force of 2,000 troops. They are equipped with 50 M1A2 Abrams Tanks, 80 Stryker ICV personnel carriers and 200 Humvees. 1940 soldiers are armed with a variant of the G36. 50 of them are armed with HK MSG90 rifles. 10 of them are armed with Barret. M82 .50 cal rifles. They are engaging an unknown Al Anbari battalion. Casualties, if any, on both sides are unknown.

The 4th infantry infantry division has moved from Jordan into Saudi Arabia and is now preparing to take the border town of Kaf (located in that little corner thing where the jordanian saudi border points inward toward the jordanian capital).
The 5th and 2nd infantry division are headed south out of Jordan to the port of Haql (located in the Gulf of Aqaba).
The 7th Cavalry (also headed out of Jordan) is headed south also but will bypass Haql and go straight to the port of Maqna (also on the gulf of Aqaba but a few miles further south than Haql.

The city of Kaf was heavily defended. The city was now the location of two infantry brigades, and also backed up by several thousand people from its population, whom have taken to the streets, angry at the damage to their holy cities and that non-Muslims were entering the holy land.

In Haql, Iraqi forces connected dynamite to the docking facilities and then blew them up when news of the forces of Whittier approaching the city. The defense of Haql was approximately the same as Kaf, and included some 5,000 civilians.

(OOC: not on map, Maqna.)

I would like to tell Whittier that if he needs air support in Syria. All of my planes can come if he needs it. He can order them around from the ground. THey will come in 5-15 minutes if they are already over Syria, whether or not I respond to the request. My pilots have been told to acknowlege his orders.

The 25th Mechanized and the 1st Cavalry (M1A2's) is out of Yemen and about to take the border town of Abu Arish on their way to the port of Qizan on the shores of the Red Sea (just a couple of miles from Abu Arish).
The 20th Cavalry (T92 mobile battle tanks) accompanied by the 58th Mechanized Infantry Detachment is taking the town of Aba As Sa' ud ( a town right on the northern border of Saudi and Yemen).
The 15th is bypassing these and the town of Sabya (just north of Abu Arish) on its way to Zahran which is 20 miles north of the border.

(OOC: Qizan? Abu Arish? ? ?)

The 4th infantry infantry division has moved from Jordan into Saudi Arabia and is now preparing to take the border town of Kaf (located in that little corner thing where the jordanian saudi border points inward toward the jordanian capital).
The 5th and 2nd infantry division are headed south out of Jordan to the port of Haql (located in the Gulf of Aqaba).
The 7th Cavalry (also headed out of Jordan) is headed south also but will bypass Haql and go straight to the port of Maqna (also on the gulf of Aqaba but a few miles further south than Haql.

The city of Kaf was heavily defended. The city was now the location of two infantry brigades, and also backed up by several thousand people from its population, whom have taken to the streets, angry at the damage to their holy cities and that non-Muslims were entering the holy land.

In Haql, Iraqi forces connected dynamite to the docking facilities and then blew them up when news of the forces of Whittier approaching the city. The defense of Haql was approximately the same as Kaf, and included some 5,000 civilians.

(OOC: not on map, Maqna.)(OOC: Maqna is approximately 100 miles south of Haql).
As for Kaf, and Haql, that's why I didn't rp them entering, knew you would have some forces in both as they would be strategically important to you.
As Maqna and the other port cities would be.)

On the Qatar/Saudi border is the Saudi town of Salwa. We need coalition allies to take that town. The troops whittier has in Qatar are needed to ensure that nation is not invaded while our backs are turned.

As-Salwa was one of the most heaviest defended cities along the border in all of Saudi Arabia. Four brigades, three infantry and one mechanized were located in the city, approximately 12,500 men, 100 T-72IQ tanks, and 150 BMP-IQ APCs. The citizens of the city had also approved of the Iraqi forces and several had joined with Iraqi forces in defending their city.

On the road to as-Salwa had been both mined and explosives planted along the roads. The explosives were to be detonated when enemy units passed by.

Now that the Artitsan Fleet has arrived...

The 1st Airborne will be dropped by 14 RT-1707 aircraft near King Khalid Military City. Roughly 25,000 Soldiers will be dropped along with 28 Sprut-M airdroppable tanks. A further 6 RT-1707's will drop another 12 Sprut-M's, plus flatbeds of ERA and attachable armour. And finally the last wave will be another 16 RT-1707's dropping a total of 64 Volk IFV's.

Airsupport comes in the way of JF-20's and EA-135's from the Carrier group in the Gulf.

All coalition partners please post the locations of their forces.

Close to 500,000 ground troops, armor and artillery, etc are stationed in North Naori(close to Japan). Deployment will commence following an aerial campaign to soften Al Anbar military positions and prepare for an amphibious assault in Saudi Arabia.

These troops possibly might be flown first to a location in south/east Africa before moving into Saudi.

The 25th Mechanized and the 1st Cavalry (M1A2's) is out of Yemen and about to take the border town of Abu Arish on their way to the port of Qizan on the shores of the Red Sea (just a couple of miles from Abu Arish).
The 20th Cavalry (T92 mobile battle tanks) accompanied by the 58th Mechanized Infantry Detachment is taking the town of Aba As Sa' ud ( a town right on the northern border of Saudi and Yemen).
The 15th is bypassing these and the town of Sabya (just north of Abu Arish) on its way to Zahran which is 20 miles north of the border.

(OOC: Qizan? Abu Arish? ? ?)
Ok. I figured it by looking at the position of Qizan on my map and comparing to the one you posted. And Qizan is the same as your Jizan. And Abu Arish is 5 miles east of Jizan.

In the Presidential Palace, the Prime Minister meets with his staff:


"General Thomas, do we have word of our troops in Jizan and Najran? They have taken those cities, right?"

"No sir. They have not."

"I was told that they had control of the cities and were moving towards Abha."

"We had faulty intelligence at the time. We are still fighting in Jizan and Najran."

"And the 1st MEU? Are they able to take As Salwa?"

"No. As Salwa is too heavily guarded. We have a seperate division in Doha preparing to assault the city. Sending in the 1st MEU now would be suicide."

"If they hit Doha?"

"They won't. We have too many anti-aircraft defenses for them to target."

"Tanks coming along the road!" exclaimed Private Ahmed Shail al-Majlis.

"I see them." responded his commander, Lieutenant Hamid Akbar.

A few minutes go by, before he gives the order: "Now!"

Suddenly, along both sides of the road, four massive explosions take place. Artillery shells, rockets, and grenades, wired together in each "package" along the side of the roadway exploded.

"Very good!" said the Lieutenant while the Private laughed, "Let's go before they come." and so the two got out of their dune and ran off into the desert. They had planted several of these nice explosive devices both along the road and in areas where an advance would be practical.

The 60% is in wages, fuel, steel, rubber, contractors etc. Military spending goes back into the economy

From the Northern Region Military Complex, 15 Tu-170E Implacable Strategic Bombers took off into the air. Traveling at over 1,300 mph, the bombers were moving across the Pacific Ocean towards an air base in Naori for refueling and arming.

Meanwhile, the troops in Naori prepared to leave for Saudi in a matter of hours, following an amphibious assault to be carried out by the Morning Glory carrier group; the first stages of the operation were underway, as intelligence was gathered on enemy troop strength in the Saudi region just south of Qater, along the coast ((post this info if possible; it should be south of your positions, AA)).

Private Smith and Sgt. Gillmore were traveling at the head of the column of the 13th Stryker regiment's convoy north to the Syrian city of Da' ra.
He had been relayed data on nearby AA troops by Skyeye military surveillance satellite. But for some reason, only some of the ground reception equipment was operating adequately enough to recieve data from the satellite.
The slowed from 30mph to 15mph as they entered the area where the AA troops had been spotted by Whittier's eye in the sky.
If only they knew the exact location of the enemy.

OOC: Were those explosions happening as the convoy was rolling through or before they could get to the spot?

The 8th Mechanized Division is mobilized at the Qatar Border. They are armed with 500 tanks, 80 Stryker APCs, and 2,000 Humvees. Each soldier is armed with a G36. Tank and APC commanders with the G36C. There are 500 armed with HK MSG90 rifles and 100 with Barret .50 caliber rifles.

Everyone here was an experienced pro, and they were being treated as such, No energy was being wasted on bed-making; the soldiers all knew how, and if a blanket corner wasn't quite tucked in, peer pressure set things right without the need for shouting from a superior officer. They were all young men, as serious about their work as they knew how to be, but there was the sprit of fun and adventure. They still didn’t know exactly what they were training for, but rumor had it that they were going to be infiltrating a Arabic country, probably Saudi Arabia or Kuwait to organize resistance to the occupying Al Anbar forces. Mohammad was smart enough to realize that all this hush hush stuff probably meant the IA (OOC: Think of the NSA x 10). After showers and breakfast Mohammad and Vega walked to their squad formations and marched southwest. Waiting for them was a black man who wore a white T-shirt and black shorts which struggled to contain bulging muscles.

“Good Morning, people” the man said. I am Mr. Johnson and today we will begin some real mission oriented training. All of you have had training in hand to hand combat and my job is to see how good you are at it, and teach you some new tricks. Killing somebody silently isn’t as hard as getting close enough to do it. We all know that.” Johnson’s hands slipped behind his back as he talked “This is another way to kill silently.” His hands came into view holding a berretta with a silencer on it and fired it three times. It was a good silencer; you could barely hear the clack of the automatics slide—quieter in fact, than the trickle of glass from the three bottles 50 meters away. Johnson grinned and said “You all know basic hand to hand combat and we are going to work on that. But I’ve been around the block a few times and let’s not lie about the issue; armed combat beats unarmed combat any day of the week. So today we are going to learn about silent armed combat .

The lieutenant ran to Admiral Stanforth, standing at the front of the bridge. In his hand, he clutched a sheet of paper, a look of confusion on his face.
"Sir, sir!! Look at this!"
Stanforth took the paper from the lieutenant and started to read. His brow furrowed.
"What the hell is going on here?!" Just a few hours ago the Coalition was bombing the daylights out of that place, and now, they just stop?"
"Sir, if this is true, what are our orders?"
"Stand down from general quarters, and alert the Skybases and destroyers to this "development." Tell them to stand down as well. But stay on station. We are going to see just how long this peace lasts."
"Aye sir!"
The lieutenant sharply saluted, then jogged off to the radio shack. Stanforth leaned on the rail in front of him and sighed. Quietly, he spoke to no one in particular.
"Peace is all good and well. But we are all sitting ducks like this if Hussein doesn't take to these peace talks."

The Eredron Ministry of State has initiated a dialogue with the Al Anbar government; both sides have agreed to a cease fire.

Any military force found to be actively engaging in hostilities, save that made in defense, will be considered an enemy and hostile to Eredron.

Coalition command did recieve a request for a cease fire but we cannot comply as he has not given us sufficient reason.

We will have to get the permission of our SG to cease fire. What garauntee can you provide that Saddam will not take advantage of this to rebuild and regroup his forces?

In an alliance with Whittier, we pledge 12,000 Asian troops hopped up on ginseng and tiger penis.

All Whittier forces, will continuing their offensive have ordered to have their secure radios manned in anticipation of recieving orders to cease fire.

We must have action not lies before there can be a ceasefire.
Saddam must show good faith.
Meantime, Secretary General Brezhnekov has authorized the Commander of Coalition Forces to order a cease fire.
Any movement of Al Anbari troops in any direction other than toward Iraq or Syria will result in them being eliminated.
We will not be satisfied with anything short of his full withdrawal from Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Lebanon.

The Empire has changed its mind over neutrality, being appaled at Al Anbar's call for jihad against coalition forces, his use of civilians for cover, and various other crimes. We can spare many tanks, IFVs/CFVs, airplanes, and a few naval units for this operation. Only direct us where to deploy troops, as they are en route to the region.

The Empire is going to betray our common enemy-enemy to all people in the region-during his so called invasion. We would like, for a while , to play along with this invasion, but we will turn on Whittier and his coalition.
It is likely that, when they assault a major city, our moment of triumph will be complete and the armies of the Empire and Al Anbar will be one against Whittier. In return for your co-operation, we will be able to pressure the Israeli government into allowing your ally Palestine to export the Jewish settlers to Israel. We ask only that you continue to fight, and know that the moment of Whittier's defeat is comming.

You just took a direct quote from Clear and Present Danger and changed Chavez or Ding with Mohammed. As a Tom Clancy fan I must ask you, do you have any self respect?

OOC: I must aplaud you, Watertest, for the nice RPing in this thread.
Uh, fluffy, he just took a direct line out of Tom Clancy's awesome novel clear and present danger. He changed the name Domingo (Ding) Chavez to Mohamed. he even kept Oso Vega's name. I am re-reading the book and read that part yesterday. That isn't RPing, its copyright infringment

my forces shall commence air and missile strikes against AlAnbarian positions when whittier orders

50 Mig-29's are being assigned to attack Al-anbarian military positions around baghdad. they should begin the attack within Rl minutes.
They will take off from the carriers Vengence and Scimitar.

We will commence strikes to unless a pullout by AA is made. What is the BDA of the bridge strike?

Air strikes against Al Anbari positions
and the siege of several Al Anbari positions has recommenced.
Eredron has sought appeasement with Saddam in return for what we believe was a lucrative oil deal.
Whittier and the coalition will not turn its back on the people of Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, or Lebanon in the name of oil.
We believe it unfortunate that Eredron has sold out for oil.
Eredron ships in the region are now being monitored by AWACS.
We expect the treaty to mean they are now neutral. If they take any action against coalition forces, the threat posed by those ships will be eliminated.
Saddam Hussein had his chance. We even gave him a second chance in the form of a cease fire. Instead what we got a seperate appeasement treaty between the Al Anbar and Eredron that gave Saddam everything he wanted. He had two opportunities to leave voluntarily. Now we will force him through the use of all military means necessary.

The Arab Socialist Republic of Al Anbar is in no need for non-Muslims to join us in this jihad against the infidels. The Muslims of the Islamic world will be more than sufficent to guard against these infidels.

Stay away or you will provoke a further crisis. All we ask is that you do not allow the enemies to use your territory, airspace, or coasts for attacks on Al Anbar. You will surely find an enemy of all Muslims if you do this. We have no problems with you and would rather like to live peacefully together.[/code:1:df3a2133e4]

Diplomatic Message to Fluffywuffy:
The coalition wishes to request permission to use your airspace to speed up the deployment of additional troops to the conflict zone.
It is our hope that you recognize the common threat that Al Anbar poses to all nations on earth.
If Al Anbar is allowed to keep Saudi, kuwait, or Lebanon he will attack Israel next.
In return we will respect your interests in the region.
We await your response or counteroffer.

[Can I get in on this? I know it's kind of late but it seems interesting :D]

Aircraft from the 4th and 5th fleets have begun attacking Al Anbari positions around Beirut.
