RP: http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=6634195#post6634195

I need a war RP, so, figure I'm going to start one with a few willing participants. I want 2 teams of 3, and it's going to be storming an island. Lightly fortified, civilian occupied. The island will be provided by myself, named Callisto. Seizing of cities and urban warfare, the standard idea. Plenty of civilians running around. If you want to apply it for yourself, you can follow the Geneva convention, or slaughter them, whatever.

Progress of how the island attack is going to be in this thread. Figure we stop once either the whole island is overrun or successfully preserved.

Callisto is about the size of Florida, and densely populated. The capital city is Viewpoint city. Some other major areas are the local Whitaker Airfield/Military base, Steinhauser Naval Port/Docks, Geladen city (*snicker* Couldn't help myself... wonder what the major export from here is?), Maverick city, and the Siegfreid highway that interlinks most of the island. The island, figure, in the summer time, barely exceeds 70 degrees, and in winter, drops to sub-zero temperatures. We're waging this in the summer. I can provide a map of the island... I'll just sketch one up later when we get a few interested people. With more details than what I provided, as well. Those are just some main areas. Figure the island is about 90 miles from the ASW mainland, so it's possible to get some reinforcements to the island within a day.

There are also three chemical installations over the island, so bring some anti-chemical equipment because it may be employed by either side if it's seized. Figure there are incendiary weapons lying around in these places, as well as assorted gasses... chlorine is abundant in the plants, so feel free to seize it and use it. Just don't bitch at me if you don't have gas masks. And use it sparingly, too. Just to keep things fair.

I intend to keep this extremely organized, so everyone knows just what by a quick look at this thread, and who owns what. I'm going to update it at the end of every day as this progresses. As a heads up, every other weekend, I'm going to have to disappear to my dad's house, so on those days, we will call a time out. (He doesn't have the internet.)

Bump.

i never did an rp, but ill try my best, ill join the offensive team

never done an rp either.....
so ill do defense keep things even

Requiring a B-U-M-P. 3 more people.

Nice, very nice. I applaud you for such an organised RP. I can't possibly let this opportunity pass. I'll be an attacker please - I can't wait, this looks like it's going to be good fun.

im going to be out of town from tuesday to thursday just in case this starts my team can act for me if necessary

Come on, we need two more people and then we can get this show on the road. Just for the records, Archaic, is this a SpecOps mission or divisional war (etc)?

All I saw was the words "war" and "RP" and all I can say is: I want in!

I will join. I will go on the Offencive side. I am guessing this is ok because Aequatio did not state witch team he is on. By the way well done, you have done orginising on this very well.

Blast! >.< I can't believe I didn't state what team I wanted to be on, I guess I'm stuck on defense then.

All teams full then. Now we need to wait for the RP organiser to reappear...

Before we begin, I want to lay down a bit more information. Your force size, for instance. Numbers will be kept low for maximums, because, hey, we're dealing with something the size of Florida.

Offensive force: at max, 20,000 infantry/Spec.Ops/etc., 800 land vehicles, 300 aircraft, 30 ships - per player.

Defensive force: at max, 15,000 infantry/Spec.Ops/etc., 1,000 land vehicles, 400 aircraft, 25 ships - per player.

Reinforcements can be called twice (should you lose your forces and want to continue), but they'll be roughly half of your starting numbers each time.

I'll have a map for you by Friday. Figure we can start the invasion today (preferably at the south, please, until I can draw up a map and get an idea of where you'll be attacking from a visual aid. Helps a lot.)

Geneva convention rules can be scrapped, and as of now, I'm going to write the first post for the forum. We'll scrap off the travel phase and assume your forces are already floating offshore somewhere yonder. And now, I disappear to write the first post. The thread will be named CLOSED RP: Operation Black Earth. I'll put up a link when it's ready.

Do we post what forces we will be using for the conflict in this thread?

Hey ASW, need someone neutral to help officiate?

Hey, and for defensive players, your forces were already positioned in the area. You can move wherever.

Sure, FCN. Would help. Crap, also forgot about posting forces. Yes, would be good.

5th Infantry brigade (5,000 troops)

OOC: *TAG!* I'd like to take part in this RP.

Argh, both sides are full people. And as far as I know only 5CN is acting as a neutral. Unless Archaic opens up for more places, you guys are too late.

I'm attempting to devise a typical cornixpes plan. Could we get a map of this place please, Archaic. If you have time that is. It would be appreciated.

I'm in the planning stages of the attack at the moment. I'll post soon.

Archaic, sending your 25 Naval vessels out and your couple of thousand men onto the beach was a seriously bad idea. I have a fleet of 30 ships and 20,000 men, that's me alone, and I'll guess I'll be the first to attack. I outnumber you greatly. I suggest you pull back and assemble your forces elsewhere with your allies.

Otherwise the game could be over for us two before it even begins.

Cornpix, if you freaking bothered to stop and read the words Archaic wrote, he has 3 brigades of infantry (15,000 men) supported by 1,000 vehicles, aircraft, and a small naval force. Plus he is defending... He can be outnumbered 3 to 1 and, ASW might still win...

If you can be "freaking" bothered to read the actual RP you would know he's not actually assembling his entire force on the beach. And I think the fact that you are asuming I haven't read the details is as an insult - as I actually have pages of tactics and ideas here with me. That's the kind of RP'er I am. So take you pathetic assumptions elsewhere.

Don't talk to me about tactics. If Archaic Slang Words places his 1,200 men in fixed positions and provide them with heavy air and artillery support, he can deny you the beachhead you need... If you cannot take a beachhead, no matter how good your tactics are, your screwed.

And tactics don't necessary work on beachheads, you're going to have to go in and commit to a frontal amphibious assault, under the heavy fire of entrenched units supported by artillery and air support, while you attempt to land all of your troops.

In addition, ASW will be supported by two other nations with their own forces...

Numbers aren't everything, remember that CornixPes...
