At 22:00 today, the Kaiser has declared that the Duchy of Fraltis (Duché de Fraltis) will be incorporated into the Attican Empire, a primarily German-speaking nation, by the end of the year (or, tomorrow). His reasoning is simple: For over 20 years, the Island Nation has been under the direct control of the Empire anyways. The island has been protected by the Attican military, it's economy runs on Kaiserlichmarks, not Francs, and the Duke of Fraltis swears fealty to the Kaiser. Not withstanding that the Duke is also a member of the Attican Royal Family.

Therefore, in order to confirm their stance, the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the Reichswehr, both Berufssoldat divisions, are going to be deployed to the island to gain full control.

Here is a map:

OOC: Regardless of who you support, you are dealing with me. Since Fraltis is under Attican administration already, I RP both nations out of the same account. That doesn't mean Fraltis can't gain it's independence, though.

Although the Fraltian people lack any Army thanks to a long standing agreement with the Atticans, there were several obsolete caches of weapons dating back many years. Many were armed with older Mausers and some older assault rifles. Some even had Sturmgewehr 44s.

We request assistance in warding off the imperialistic and offensive acts of our southern neighbor, Attica! We will be most thankful to anyone who helps.

The 1st Division departs by transport for Pondersailles seaport. The 2nd Division is still massing in Brelinburg.

OOC: I thought you was a 2002 nation.
Didn't I ally with you awhile back in some conflict?

OOC: 2003 nation, actually. Reactivated ;( Probably, though.

Without any resistance, the troops began disembarking into Pondersailles, grouping up at the seaport. In Attica, the 2nd Division began loading up onto the transports.

As the 2nd Division began departing, the 1st Division began occupying sectors of Pondersailles.

OOC: Is anyone going to support Fraltis?

OOC: I'll support them, (probably), if you'll tell me the size of your armies you are willing to deploy, so I know what I'm up against. I would look a little stupid sending 100,000 troops to fight 5 million, or sending 5 million troops to fight 100,000.....

OOC: Well, the 1st and 2nd Infantry divisions are both 300,000 troops each. Thats totalling 600,000. If need be, I could deploy more, but supposedly I am expecting little resistance.

Edit: Double Post

OOC: Sounds good....I hope this won't get too costly 8). Now to work out a response.....

Catherine Mederson,
Attican Troops have occupied the capital city, Pondersailles, as well as have enacted a partial blockade of major ports using naval power. We are waiting for military support before our guerillas begin attacking.

What is the size of the Government force in the area? And what ships are taking part in the blockade?

Falastur is preparing troops as we speak....[/code:1:c9dc3e69d7]

From: Duke Pierre Montcalm de Fraltis

We have no government-sponsored military force, however, we have a force of about 10,000 militiamen prepared to wage guerilla warfare.

We lack any intelligence on their fleet, but we do know there is a blockade.[/code:1:001b8c9269]

The United States of Nighthawk is willing to support Fraltis

1 B-2 bomber wings it way across the oceans, meeting up with KC-135s along to the way to keep fully fueled.

As it comes up on the island nation, the pilot aquires the target. a Forward Command and Control station. two laser guided weapons fall from the B-2 and the bomber starts to head home

OOC: Your B-2s would not go unnoticed, btw. Besides the fact that I would not have a Forward Command and Control station in a fixed position on Fraltis :)

((ok sorry, i made some assumptions there, having a forward C&C center makes sense to me. Now explain to me how you could see the B-2. Its RCS is less then that of a small bird. While it does have one its not easy to spot on a radar screen. Not only does it deflect some of the radar beams ,for lack of a better term, it also absorbs some of them, very few acually makes it back to the radar site))

((sorry i have to go, i will be back tommorow to finish this))

OOC: They aren't invisible, though. Turbulence Detectors have no trouble detecting them however, and I beleive Doppler sees it also.

Based on the political nature of other nations, the Empire is being forced to withdraw it's forces from Fraltis. For now.

[code:1:b28e4c6197]Based on the response of the Attican Empire Government, it would seem that you have won the first round. However, I suspect that more is yet to come. Therefore, I ask you if you would like for a Falasturian Fleet to stand patrol in your waters. We can also mobilise troops to ensure the Atticans do not return in force. It is your choice.[/code:1:b28e4c6197]
