Operation Underlord

Operation Underlord is a project concieved with one idea in mind: fortify the Praetonian coastline. This was achieved, with the help of contracters, using the following systems:

Air Defence - The Praetonian coastline has been ringed with Avenger anti-air missile systems (provided by Crazed Marines), dug into clifs and reinforced on the sea-ward side. These weapons are completely automated, although they are accompanied by a small garrison (8-12 men) which can take manual control of the battery if neccessary. The 500 - 600 batteries provide almost total aircover.

Sea Defence - The Praetonian coastline has also been ringed with gun emplacements. These consist of twin turrets of 410mm guns, and long-range anti-ship missile systems. These fortifications are also dug deep into the ground with only the very end of the gun barrels and missile batteries protruding out to sea. These are considerable fortifications with garrisons of 50 - 100 men. They are often coupled with Avenger Missile Systems and always contain numbers of machine-gun, light cannon and mortar emplacements. These were supplied by Kotterdam.

Missile Defence - The Praetonian coatsline is again ringed by anti-missile siloes which are designed to shoot down the majority missiles that enter Praetonian air-space. This includes ICBMs, plane-launched ballistic missiles and some types of conventional missile.

Shore Defence - Should the enemy get close to Praetonian shores they will be greeted by automated machinegun, machinecannon and light artillery fire, as well as mines, tank traps and barbed wire on the beeches, not to mention our formidable napalm emplacements (supplied by Crazed Marines) which can unleash gallons of water-ignited napalm into the path of any landing party. A Praetonian beech is not a place you want to be if you are an enemy soldier.


Praetonian Nuclear Program

Praetonia has, from the outset, considered it's nuclear program to be a purely defensive system. Following that, now that it is complete, the system offers Praetonia security from being threatened by other nations possesing such weapons, and has security from any considerably larger nations that may see Praetonia as easy prey.

Our system consists of 32 ICBMs each housing a single 'Praesidium' (from the Latin meaning 'protection') warhead with an average yield of 2 megatons. The missiles are housed in two submarines, of which at least one is always patrolling the seas, ready to fire if and when the worst happens. This means that at any time Praetonia has 16 2 megaton missiles ready to strike anywhere in the world at a moments notice, with at least a 20% chance to penetrate most advanced ABMs.

Not technically in TDV - in a military base (which is technically Praetonia) on his island. Im considering withdrawing them soon.
