This is an utterly condemable act of imperialism, you have stepped to far, go back, you cannot continue your imperalistic ways and get away with it. Swedish Dominions has now been declared a no-go zone for all visitors from my nation, any diplomats you may have here are being escorted out of Celtayoshi.

The Amphibious Landing in Vaasa has begun

300 000 men are now trying to enstablish a beachhead.

The Finnish resistance is scattered and unprepared.
They wasn't expecting the attack.

The Land invasion will follow shortly.

To refer to London as concerned would be a great under statement. The initial reaction of many significant figures in government and military was to stutter this or that about deployment of a task-force to Finland's defence. These ideas lasted usually a mere instant however as reports on the scale of the invasion began to indicate a mobilised Swedish force more than twenty times the size of the entirety of current British armed forces.

The Foreign Office had to stop at advising British subjects against travel to the area, while Downing Street bided its time and awaited more serious international response. Being short on significant intelligence, London hadn't yet chosen to officially condemn the Swedes.

Still, plenty of fingers were crossed in the UK for another Finnish surprise showing against superior invading forces.

In the north it was cold and harsh.
The 22nd, 55th, 12th Infantary and the 67th, 80th Armor divisions are entering there now.

It's very cold, it can sink below 35 Degrees Celsius.
Up there the Resistance is even more shattered.

The old ski troops are ancient in modern warfare. They were good in the Winter War but useless in this war.

The Operation is going as planned.

Cape Town, South Africa (Argyllia in the real world)

The PM shuffled the intelligence papers across his desk, so much violence in the world these days. Gone where the days of relative stability and peace which provided such a good climate for the economies of the world. He looked down at the piece of paper infront of him, it was a report on the invaison of Finlan by the ever more imperialistic Swedes who seemed to be returning to the days of Charles the 12th.

Unfortunatley the PM was in the same position as the British PM, with a army only 300,000 strong (the equal of a Swedish Division) there was nothing he could do to intervene. He called the Forgein Minister and asked him to recall embassy staff from both countries involved and advise against traveling to each country.

With invaison likely to suceed there was not much anyone could do to stop the tide of Swedish forces rolling over Finland. The Operation had been well planned and of solid military tactics a credit to its creators in Stockholm. 1 million troops where flooding over the border supported by 14,000 tanks, an imposing force.

The Swedish Forces has conquered most of Finland now and are now heading for Helsinki.

But the small islands of Åland has been forgotten by the Swedish High Command.

On that island thousand of Finnish Troops are planning an invasion of Stockholm itself.

More on that Later.

OOC: Being Finnish myself, this whole description of the invasion feels very much like a delusion of grandeur. Oh well, one can allways cling to fantasies, this isnt real afterall. BTW Swedish Dominions, is this version of Finland you are attacking some kind of pacifistic liberalist country perhaps? Just wondering.

OOC: they have stationed most of their troops around Helsinki....

OOC: Ok, the real Finnish Military Command would never do that because its strategically idiotic as well as unnecessary. But hey, its your RP im just nitpicking.

The IRF strongly condemns the invasion of Finland. We would normally introduce sanctions, but due to past differences, our nations do not trade. Being an imperialistic country ourselves, we can understand the invasion, though we do not know the reason for the Swedish invasion.

The SAS Missiles spread terror in the SD as they were launched into the country.

The President were sitting in his chair in the presidential palace and watched the terror.
He screamed for his staff.
"Gentlemen, is this meant to happen? I mean, this is the third time this year..."

The SoD stepped forward.

"What do you want us to do?"

"Well, launch some nukes on em' as usual." said the president

"No way, i'm taking them out, my way."

He left......

"Sir, our forces has been drawn, shall i begin the mobilization?" the SoD asked.

"Yes my friend, do it now."

The Mobilization has begun.

BUMPI could send you some of my troops for a few tanks but not pernament. :tantrum:

BUMPI could send you some of my troops for a few tanks but not pernament. :tantrum:

I will rather keep the tanks.

(OOC: May I just ask whether those missiles launched from Pilot were ballistic, or of a cruise sort? I expect we may be aware of ballistic missile launches, and they would certainly influence our stance on the situation. For now I'm assuming the missile attacks to be unconfirmed in the UK.)

In a brief showing at Downing Street Prime Minister John Bull told a hurridly assembled crowd of journalists what little the government knew of the crisis unfolding to the east. He expressed Britain's desire for a speedy and civilised end to the conflict, and said clearly that he hoped that Finland and the Swedish Dominions would work diplomatically to settle their differences before the conflict became intercontinental. The PM clearly wanted to avoid assigning blame to the Swedish government while still hoping for an early peace, but none the less stated that the armed forces were upgrading their alert status, and that this was likely to persist with the conflict.
A less than clear reference to deployment readiness was apparently related to the possibility of Britain offering peacekeeping forces to the region.

We, the Dronios High Counsil, condemn this action of war but still admires the swedish courage to do so we will therefor aid Swedish Dominion in their attack.

(OOC: Dronios is a self-proclaimed land in Russia, with interests of conqering europe themselves and sees a chance, i suppose. Even i can´t control the High Counsil..)


45.000 ordinary shock troops sent to Finland to aid Swedish Dominions.

[i]Battlegroup Atlantique[/i[

The unforgiving winds of the north sea blew over the deck of the CHN Falcon, as crews took off the heat-preserving tarps from the Chellian V-121's. As the crew of this particular V-121 began crawling into the plane, two Chellian H-7n's took off, with standard ASW equipment.

"Battlegroup Atlantique, this is Frost Val One. Preparing for reconnaisance mission over North sea. Will advise to Battlegroup Antarctica when I pass over russia. Over and out." Said Frost Val One, as the aircraft was set on the catapult. The plane was shortly after hurled into the air, the scramjets began starting as the planes RTOL began giving the aircraft the speed it needed to get going.

------------

At 74,000 feet in the air, the wing-bodied V-121R began slowing down to just below mach 1, so as to successfully take the digital images needed. Three high power cameras layed under the craft, a regular one, a thermal one, and a video one.

The radio controller turned on radar jamming to the fullest, while turning on its own passive radar to see what was looking toward the skys. The aircraft began using the therman camera, as the sky was too cloudy to accuratly see the ground, with pictures only being taken in clear patches.

"Well look at that boys!" Yelled the weapons operator/camera operator, as he looked down below. The city of helsinki glew red hot, from everything to humans to cars, and what not. Outside of the city, there was a circle of cold, then large hot patches around it. "Gotta be...Yes, video camera confirms that those are Swedish Dominion men surrounding the city."

"Wow, thats so great... Anyways, can we just get this to headq....Heavy SAMS detected. Their scanning the skies. They might have seen us... Prepare for evasive manuvers and possible evac. Get on those parachutes, grab your rifles, and turn jamming to full. Jacob, ready the flares. Lets hope to god they dont fire at us..."Said the pilot, as the eager SAMs on the ground searched blank skies for a near invisible enemy.

At the site
A Guard noticed a strange thing.
He saw a parachute laying deserted the nearby forest.
He went there to investigate.

It wasn't a parachute used by the SD Airbornes.

He ran to the Captain.

"Sir, we may have intruders."

"Good job, private."

The Base were now at Alpha-Romeo Status.

OOC: I must say this is stupid. I mean there's is no way you can land so easily. What about the Finnish missile ships and jet fighters? And how on earth did summer turn to winter so suddenly. Your RP is stupid. Besides, the Finnish coast is very tough to navigate and full of shallows. It might not be that simple to just disembark hordes of troops. I'm not sure about Vaasa though. It would be much smarter to attack on land in any case.

Enemy ships are unable to approach Korpus without proper maps and hard navigation. Defenses ready. Contacting the thieves guild. Sorcerers cast nightmare of a thousand years on the remaining Swedes in the world. Thieves guild contacted! Assassins hired. Swedish war leaders marked. Assassinations commence. Cultists released! Cultists abuse the trans-siberian railway. Porvoo captured by cultists! Cultists are under attack by Swedish forces. Swedish forces collapse; they have been unable to sleep for a week. Cultists sacrifice the Swedish forces. High priests cast Wrath of the Ash Gods! The remaining Swedish equipment has been incinerated! Cultists are returning. The remaining Swedish forces are unable to sleep and all their equipment is gone. Oil discovered on the bottom of the sea that once was Sweden! Oil rigs constructed! ......

:x
I hate sarcasms

Note to observers: I believe myself and Swedish Dominions have agreed to simulate this war using Rise of Nations. Right now, I am waiting for confirmation that it is feasible.

Note to Swedish Dominions: Just a little bit of a tip from a veteran role-player on NationStates - Don't send your entire army into Finland, the way my orces are positions, we could so easily take your country over, especially since we deployed only a mere 10% of our real forces. I'll give you some time to revise your numbers. And remember, using RoN we both start off with the same, so making your forces 100x whatever I put won't help you just as it won't help me if I was to do the same.

OOC: you haven't really specified where your attacking, i thought you attack the Swedish Mainland.... that's why i'm deploying my army..

What about me!!!!??

What about me!!!!??

As the President of Darth Tepe, Jack O'Connor's great great great great greatgrandmother was Finnish(And I am IRL a finnish) the Democratic Republic of Darth Tepe has sent paratrooper divisions to Lapland, Naval transportation are allready on their way towards the Finnish shores that are allready under swedish rule, carrying thousands of soldiers, 500 panzers and 100 artillery. With the transports will come 10 carriers and 10 AEGIS-cruisers.

The paratroopper landing is predicted to happen 0500 in the morning just above Rovaniemi.

*Transmission to Swedish Dominions*
Your attack to Finland shall not be accepted. The Senate of Darth Tepe has solved this problem for a few days and came up with a warning:
If you do not withdraw your forces from Finland, we shall kick your commie butt to Alpha Centauri and send a few old model cruise missiles to finish you off as we at last get a nice colony for ourselfs.

Chouncilor Montgomery
Senate of Darth Tepe
*Transmission end*

OOC: Sheesh, you got a lot of enemies with one thread. You should be proud

Prime Minister Ellington Duke condones such action and hopes that the Swedish Dominion can find other means in satisfying it's own....greed.

The map is not hotlinking correctly, but if you right click, then properties, copy and paste the image URL into your browser, it will appear and you will see that it is a counterattack in Finland.

"Jacob, Mikhail, take out your parachutes. We will use them as blankets. The night will be long, and Finland isnt the most forgiving climate. Nicer than chellis, but still, cold..." Alexi said, as Jacob and Alexi took theirs out. Mikhail simply looked at the ground.

"Mikhail, whats wrong? Take out your parachute." Alexi continued. "I lost it..." Mikhail muttered, as Alexi tossed his to Mikhail. "We will take turns guarding each other over the night, so we can share the parachutes. I will go first, Mikhail second, Jacob, you're last. These will be hour guards. Keep your 89's out, but sleep with your pistol in hand. You never know how quickly you may need to defend yourself."Alexi said, cocking his LGW P14 rifle, using the scope to check for enemies in the distance. He would figure out what to do tomorrow. He might even surrendur, if worst came to worst...

ok ok :lol:

the only change i'll make in the deployment is that i'll change the Shock Troop amount to 3 500 000.

As the senate of Darth Tepe didn't see any changes in the swedish forces, fourteen planes flew over Rovaniemi, dropping hundreds of men to the ground.

http://www.rjaf.gov.jo/c130_brashot.jpg

As in the same time, naval transport ships are arriving to their destination. Tens of landing boats flooded towards the shores near Oulu, having crushing losses in the same time.

http://www.cinefile.biz/ryan2.jpg

Bombings start in Stockholm as the carriers start releasing their fighters in the coastal of Sweden.

The paratroopers have now landed in the small forests near Rovaniemi and advance into the city with no superior losses. The citizens of Rovaniemi joy that the evil and stupid swedish occupation had ended.

Hours later, the paratroopers and the landing forces met in the middle of Finland and seperated again. Other one went towards the most of the swedish army travelling towards Helsinki and other went to liberate more cities from the evil and not-so-intelligence occupators.

OOC: I'm just taking it like Swedish Dominions did in the beginning. Oh, and every Finnish gets the joke :lol:
