The dupe of the century.....AMF declares war on FWS

OOC: Original thread: http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=150484
With all the Fascian troops seated, the remaining Sentinels exited the warehouses, shutting the doors quietly behind them as the satellite feed connected. They casually returned to the checkpoint right outside each designated warehouse, keeping thier eyes open. The video feed began, and the speakers hummed to life. The projecters also came to live, projecting the images being broadcast from the AMF homeland.
http://www.nationstates.net/images/flags/uploads/automagfreek.jpg
A deep, ominous laughter came over the speakers, shaking the very walls of the warehouse. The laughter paused, followed by a voice, Dreadfire's voice...Sleep Now in The Fire. As he spoke, the Sentinels outside chained the doors and moved tanks in to further block the doors. 50 pounds of high explosives inside each speaker then detonated, propelling the 20 pounds of steel ball bearing located in the fronts forward into the Fascian soldiers. At each warehouse, hundreds of these speakers detonated, sending showers of ball bearings into both the soldiers and the walls. Sentinels stationed outside the warehouses began opening fire on anybody that was no a Sentinel, viciously guning down civilian and soldier alike.
AMF forces outside the capitol began opening fire on any FWS asset while keeping their perimeter tight. Tanks and other fighting vehicles say at their posts, while others began leveling any structure inside their perimeter. 250,000 Sentinels held the capitol in a stranglehold, and meanwhile....
.....AMF troops on the borders of Fascist White States opened fire on FWS soldiers fiercly while signaling forces from Chellis, Sigma Octavus, Unified Sith, and so on to move in. AMF forces began a swift U turn and began pushing into the FWS mainland.
<Waters outside FWS>
AMF fleets had set up camp in the waters outside FWS. Freek subs were on constant patrol, keeping the main vessels safe from underwater attacks. 16" guns off of AMF battleships raored to life, launching volly after volly of high explosive rounds into several nearby FWS encampments. Ticonderoga missile frigates launched multiple vollies of Tomahawk cruise missiles at the same targets as the battleships, and AMF planes scrambled off the decks of the AMFS Dimmu Borgir and the AMFS Wardog.
<Back at the capitol>
All hell had broken loose as Sentinel forces began pillaging and burning everything in sight. Man, woman, and child was gunned down without remorse, and Freek tanks opened fire into the now flaming warehouses. Sentinels were waiting outside with rifles drawn, ready to shoot anybody that may have survived the blast, however unlikely.
<Underground, presidential bunker>
The Sentinel squad commander let out a bellowing laugh as he looked the head Fascist himself dead in the eyes.
You have just been subject to the biggest burn in history. As I speak, Automagfreek forces have not only butchered those sent in for our "training video", but our forces outside the capitol have taken control. AMF forces along the borders have engaged your forces, and a coaltion of other forces has begun moving in.
Face it, you're finished...done for. The end has come upon you, and soon Fascist White States will be nothing more than a memory.
The faint sounds of gunfire could then be heard.
And it apears that my men outside this bunker have also engaged your men, and from the looks of things.....you're a prisoner in your own damn bunker. I hope you enjoy the rest of your short life.
A sick grin crossed the face of the squad commander as the capitol city of FWS continued to burn
I knew that would happen... But oh well... We followed your orders to the T... We did all you asked... And you proved you never wanted to "just get rid of their weapons and keep them peaceful"... You wanted to wipe us out... After I did everything you asked... I even turned down numerous telegram offers from various people who offered to hide my WMDS... I said "NO... I want to keep my word."
Luckily Fascians have friends with time travel... The entire nation can be sent back in time 10 years.. We are considering that option..
Also we are considering a second "ALPHA OMEGA" BOMB... We have the uranium and cobalt to build one underground in a matter of hours.
Damn Right I'll Godmod my wait out... It's just not fair for a nation your size to wreck the game for a nation my size... I've put almost a month into this game and don't want to start over... How would you like to start over after more than 2 years?

FPS, at this time, is fully recognizing that about six FWS scientists went back in time.
What AMF does to the rest of the population is what concerns me.
Order to the troops
In compliance with chellian doctrine, chellis realized that getting rid of FWS was an outstanding priority. Therefore, we have planned with AutoMagFreek to eliminate the threat. Any anti-AMF sentiment and comments were lies that were provoked to ensure confidentiality of the project. You are to treat any AMF soldier with as much respect as any chellian officer. You are to crush the enemy in any way possible. You are to follow your upcoming commands from your Division leaders. That is all.
General Zhukov.
------------------------
On the order, Chellian artillery began heavily firing on all known FWS lines, found by the chellian divisions who had origionally been in FWS. Airplanes were launching the minute AutoMagFreek made his move, and Chellian forces, still in their APC's and defensive positions, began moving back into FWS. Massive amounts of fire from chellian troops onto the FWS troops occured, while the artillery still fell.
From Malawi, twelve Paratrooper divisions launched their aircraft and began heading towards the Zimbabwe border, while a large counter-detection campaign was occuring there, chellian artillery aimed especially for known radar spots, and Electric Warfare aircraft flew with them, as well as massive amounts of I-4's and RAA-M's.
Twenty-three chellian divisions began striking towards Zimbabwe on the same route the airbourne troops were making, except on ground. All around Zimbabwe, most forces were simply manning all defenses, while strong inward thrusts were being made on the weakened FWS lines(Army cutbacks/Many FWS troops in capital) in the north and west. The south had the most defenses, incase FWS tried to strike back into the nation.
Chellian helicopters especially took place in helping the inward thrusts, providing large strikes on the FWS lines, while artillery shelled indiscriminatly, the helicopters aimed for the most damaging equipment, especially AA guns, artillery guns, and ATGM's.
FPS, at this time, is fully recognizing that about six FWS scientists went back in time.
What AMF does to the rest of the population is what concerns me.

The waiting fleet moved in around AMFs barrage. Dozens of landing craft departed and moved to the coast. There, 2,453 Black Sun operatives piled out. Overhead, helicopters brought in SOMI troops, as well as SOMBT-1s and support vehicles.
SOF-9Bs streaked overhead, launched from the aircraft carriers in the fleet. They flew in the directions of their targets, mainly military.
The Black Sun (renamed SOET) moved inland, each squad with their own objectives. Transports kept coming in at sea, the drivers eager to finally do something. Infantry and vehicles moved up off the beach.

Oh, AMF, by creating a gravitational field like that of a black hole, light, as well as time will stop, according to relativity. It may even be possible to create a singularity inside this gravity that could, in theory, create a "hole" if you will, to another time. I am working on this for a sience project, so I know a little about this subject. If the world united -HA- and focused on scientific advancement, we could possibly come up with a time travel device. Also, know that there are many different theories as to how to travel in time. Many are feasible.

FWS, he occupied your nation. You cant exactly hide 12 divisions, and he said he was disarming everyone in the capital. Its godmodding to comply, then say you didnt.
Bleland hears word of the occurrences and will attempt to gain information. Helicopters fly in the area observing any open communications. They detect a transmission from the past. “Ok seems like they’ve made a jump to 1994.” Back to Bleland it is. Diplomats are sent to Automagfreek to inquire about what’s been going on between them and White Fascist States. Meanwhile a diplomat and scientist are at the Chronosphere in Bleland which has been modded for time travel. The diplomat and scientist are sent back to 1994 to seek out the White Fascist States for their side of the story.

FWS, he occupied your nation. You cant exactly hide 12 divisions, and he said he was disarming everyone in the capital. Its godmodding to comply, then say you didnt.
He said "ALL TROOPS ENTERING INTO THE CAPITAL"
The guards are already inside Rhodes City (always in the capital)... And they never give up their weapons... Their weapons are only taken when removed from their cold dead hands... He cannot godmod to disarm 250,000 soldiers... 18 million civilians who own about 10 guns each... Etc... We are heavily armed... He choose to godmod so I did him 1 (well maybe 10) better...
