ooc- this is for anyone who can RP in early 1700's tech and you can keep your current leaders names, for example my leaders name is usually Cardinal DeVito you can change it or keep it. just RP with 1700's tech and tactics

ic- *On the Catherdral of St Mary balcony* "My Fellow Cherry Ridge Countryman, it is a great day for us. Cardinal DeVito has been captured..."
*cheers from the protestant crowd* "By the Protestant Peoples Army!!!, He is being held in the Protestant People's Army Fort, Fort Luther, the one captured from the Cathgolics previously St. Michaels Fort. There is only the northern part of the country then we will have complete..." Jack Smith was stopped from completing his speech by a knife in his back from George Harris, a Catholic who had infilitrated the Protestants people Army (PPA) He was then stabbed in the heart killing him. The crowd went wild grabbing Harris and tying a rope around his neck and hanging him from the Cathedral balcony. They then lit torches and torched the catherdral.

on the balcony on the building across the street, a single shot was fired. "Now that i have your attention" Thomas Smith, Jack smiths brother sai," My brother General Jack Smith leader of the PPA has been assisnated.I am now the new leader. Together we will conquer the northern part of Cherry Ridge, And then the whole of the former Catholic Cardinalatial See will become the Anti Romanist State of Cherry Ridge!!!" We are in the capital of Cherry Ridge and this is now secure. Only the northern section is un cpatured. No Catholic troops will ever set foot in this city again!!!" Roars from the crowd.
*fifes and drums heard in the distance.*
"Hear that its the PPA coming to celebrate."
*gunfire in the distance*
"They are shooting off a couple rounds in celebration" smith said uneasily"
8A PPA soldier looking all beat up and sweaty runs into the town square* "there hear" He then collapses in exaustion. The crowed paniced. 'I assure you there are no Catholic troops coming near this capital Fort Luther is right outside this capital with the strongest force ever to guard this city."
*Pounding footsteps heard. then they hear the order from the distance READY ARMS* On the famed ridge of Cherries that Cherry Ridge is named after stood fort luther. It was burning The crowd saw the PPA's flag go down and the Catholic Cardinalatial Sees (CCS) army flag go up.

"Keep calm" smith said. Then blocking all streets into the town square were CCS troops.
"Surrender now" said ....Cardinal DeVito!
" How were you freed" demanded smith!
"You saw it, ST Michaels Fort was recaptured"

The crowd lunged tat the troope a Captan yelled "Fire". Blood was all over the place. The crowd kept coming . "fire at will" The troops shot at the crowd many times. 2 artillery hells were fired at the crowd. When the smoke cleared all but 6 of the couple hundred were dead. They were arrested. Thomas Smiths body was found with his back bullet riddled and artillery shell fragments imbedded in his chest.
cardinal DeVito said "this country is ours"
ooc- the country has been retaken BUT i need people to rpthe opposing side to help the PPA regain the country also tou can RP being my ally

OOC I want to join but I am confused. What is going on and where is the city you are talking about? I will join, and can we be nations or just one of the armys?

ooc- you can be a nation if you want to. The PPA was destroyed and you can either play a nation wanting a Protestant government mad at the Catholics victory or a Catholic ally of mine. The City is my capital city, Cherry Ridge City.

OOC Cool, thanks. Do you mind If I have Spain? In this time they had southern Italy, as Well as Rome and a large amount of Colanys in America.

OOC: Vexia didn't exist in the early 1700's. However, there was a merchant state that existed where it is now that did. Perhaps our troops can be offered as mercenaries?

The Warring parties were astonished to here an unfamilliar drum tattoo coming from beyond the hills.
a small army of some 3,000 Musketmen was coming this way, dressed in a long creamy coloured uniform similliar to the Muscovites.
They bore an unfamilliar banner, and were seemingly led by a haggard fellow on a white stallion, who was armed with a Tartar's blade and several pistols.
"Greetings, all. We are Mercenaries from the East, and we offer our services to whichever side will pay our fee. 10,000 Sovereigns for the lot of us."
spoke the gentleman on the white stallion.

ooc- it isnt RL nations you play as your NS nation with 1700 tactics
and yes you can offer your mercenarys
Lessr Tsurani whos side are you on?
ic- 'Cardinal, Mercenarys hve landed offing support to anyside that pays the most." said a young captain
'They have no honor, fighting for money, o well pay them 2,000 bills (1 bill = 1 US dollar) for there services" "Yes Sir"

bump

OOC Oh I see. Sorry. Well I will play on your side. Do you mind If I control Italy? It is just we did in a earlier part of out history.

IC Emporer Casumi of Lessr Tsurani Stood in the Royal palace in Rome. As Head of the Popes City he knew exaxly where his loyaltys where, to the pope and the church. He smiled as he looked down at the city.

"Get me Captin Hokuno, Tell him to marshle the armies. We go to war." He said in a stern voice to a serving man at his door. The man scurried out of the room.

"2000 Bills it is, good sirs. Alright men, form line!"

in a few short minutes, the 3000 musketeers had formed a long line around the defences of their new employers.
Any attacker would have to get past the thin line. If they attacked en mase on one spot, it would not be hard, but the rest of the line would swing round and unleash a barrage into their flanks.

They were ready, and wiated for the onslaught to begin.

yes you CAN control italy. We need someone to RP the protestants then we will REALLY be started.
ic-"Sir those mercenarys have accepted our offer."
'Great those protestants will be crushed."
"major"
"Yes Cardinal"
"Get these men formed up"
'Yes Your Eminence"
Endless lines of troops were being formed.
Commanding General-General Quipps-reports directly to Cardinal DeVito
Co-Colonel Jack O'Ryan
XO- Major William Gates

Hokuno was a very tall man who had spent most of his life fighting the Africans in the Tsurani-EverQueen war. The allience had been signed by Hokuno himself ((Who would later become Emporer of Tsurani)) And was agreable for both sides. He looked at the line of musket men with the pikemen in front. He noticed that the line became a bit slopy farther back. He shouted the order and the line reformed instantly. He smiled and went the the Emporers study.

"My lord" He said in a gruff voice. "I have marshled the armies that you ordered but I want to know why are my own men not in this war? They are veterens and have served under me since I could remember."

"I gave you your own men, why did they report?" The emporer said in a weary voice. "I am sorry, get your men as well my friend."

OOC: Do you need someone to play your Protestants? Or do you mean one of your Protestant allies? I can do either if you wish, although I should point out, Falastur's population was at about 3,500 in 1701 (official formation of "semi-independant" colony) and about 20,000 in 1715 (year we obtained independance), so it may be tricky for me to RP my own country....

I need someone to RP the prostestants allies. he protestants have been destroyed and the allies want to take revenge on me for defeating them.

OOC: Perhaps I could make up a nation then? Somehow, I think Falastur's standing army of the time of around 1-2,000 wouldn't hold up for long....
