*OOC:Anyone that wants to play terrorists or criminals can, i don't really care*

Anchorman: "Today The Armed Republic of Macedonia has sent police and military units to help support the Disputed Territories of Smaller Albania in their fight against crime. The Army of the Republic of Macedonia or ARM for short will shore up any holes in the Smaller Albanian border while the police units move to exterminate the criminal taint from the inside."

President Vladimir Alexandre had been talking with the leader of Smaller Albania for some time and they had finally agreed on military support and police action in support of Albania. The units were already crossing the border and would be in the capital within an hour. "Very good minister, this will not only strengthen our bond with Smaller Albania and the Balkans as a whole but will also provide our military with much needed experiance."

The first brigade of the first Macedonian Infantry Division finally came to a hault at their temporary base of operations, just outside of the capital. Colonel Raminsky jumped off of his command M113 and addressed the soldiers as they disembarked, "Ok, men stow the gear and set up camp we need to get this place operational ASAFP. Our pals will be here soon and you know how they are if their beds aren't made just right, Fall out!" Macedonian troops start running in every direction as they strive to turn a compound with bare buildings into an operational base.

The police force meet up with Smaller Albania Precincts all over the country to boost manpower so every case of corruption and fighting can be solved and taken care of. More units would be on the way and peace was guaranteed within three months at the most. Independent Macedonia was taking on a large load by moving in and setting up shop, while defending it's own borders but peace had to be attained at all costs.

The president of Smaller Albania Dr. Old Shoe today expressed his gratitude to the forces of Macedonia dispatch to aid their fledgling police in the fight against crime and lawlessness. Reacting to reports of ultra-nationlist protests against the aid the president stated "Ours is a young country and now is not the time for petty squabbles. Macedonia has extended a greeting of help and kindness that will be repaid in kind and not with backward self serving ingratitude"

The newly appointed minister of home security later stated that new legislation was to be rushed through parliment to crack down on unlawful militant behaviour. :fluffle:

Field Reporter: This is GNN reporter Nicholas Heins reporting live from albania, as you can see behind me now forces representing the Independant Nation of Macedonia have arrived in Albania to support local police units with their horrific crime problems within the country.

Nicholas Heins stood infront of the camera as usual, droning on about the happenings and reasons why there was a peacekeeping mission in albania as well as highlights on incidents and events in albania. That was when the Imperial Forces from the Intergrated Army of Tovarich Patrick began arriving. You could tell which were members of which army. The Nation of Tovarich Tantarin was gobbled up by its mother land but its traditions and ways were still allowed meaning units from Tovarich Tantarin had both the flag of their home land and the flag of the mother land patched onto their sleeves.

Nicholas continued his talking as the camera panned away. It filmed the long line of Armored Personel Carriers mostly BMP2 Variations used by the Tovarich Tantarin military, These Vehicles however were white marked with large black letters UN the Soldiers sitting on top of the vehicles waved to the cameras smiling at the fact they got to be on TV all of them wearing the Blue Helmets of the United Nations Peace Keeping forces. " as you can see the Empire of Tovarich Patrick has also deployed atleast 600 troops in a Peace keeping and humanitarian Role here in Smaller Albania. They will render assistance to Both macedonian forces and albanian forces."

They are commanded by a ITPA General by the name of Leon Nelson who has promised to keep with their nations promises to assist nations such as this in their times of need. This is Nick Heins GNN Albania." The Camera then cut off as the long train of vehicles began to pull into the offload zone for the soldiers.

The Emperor has recognized your troubled region and offers his assistance if requested. Should, as said before, assistance is requested we will be willing to dispatch monetary aid, or military aid. Perhaps we will even aid in the contruction of new infastructure such as roads, police stations, government buildings, and military camp.

On the subject of military, we can sell weapons and may even be willing to give weapons and training to a small force of Smaller Albanian soldiers too boost their ability of policing their own people.

Just a few minutes ago Dr Old Shoe, self proclaimed spiritual leader of Smaller Albania addressed the nation on the state broadcast channel.

"My people, reports of sporadic gunfire within the capital were only exercises carried out by our new allies and the newly formed Smaller Albanian National Guard (SANG). Furthermore the power cuts were in fact a short power outage caused when we brought a newly constructed power station online. This was of course the reason for the regretable loss of both TV and Radio.

I am glad to say all services have now returned to normal.

Rumours of a liberation army for the freedom of an oppressed puppet state under the thumb of it's neighbours are just that, rumours!

The planned elections will be held as planned as soon as planning allows.

We are forever greatful for the kindness shown to us and greatfully accept all offers of aid. Not because we are cheap, but we are desperate.

International beggars have been dispatched to underground subway stations around the world to bring back sorely needed foreign currency.

Any further acts of violence against our guests will not be tolerated. Those who were caught today in their apparent attempt to attack the advance forces of the Intergrated Army of Tovarich Patrick in a vain attempt to destabilise relations will today be executed for high treason by the ancient custom of "death by trampling pig" a scentence not sceen carried out in this country for over 200 years.

The air ministry is pleased to announce that with the influx of recent aid, the state airline has been able to buy back its international air transport fleet.

The cessna has already been fueled and eagerly awaits its first passengers for its next maiden flight again. It is believed that 2 of the 6 passengers chosen will be the next winners of the state lottery. Smaller Albania now seeks nations who might wish to form the other end of this historic air bridge.

OOC: Independent Macedonia said I can rp the terrorists.

IC:

It currently night and nobady was driving on the streets or walking on the sidewalks. The two Hellenes Queda members approached the police station. Inside it was three police men doing some paperwork but failed to noticed the two terrorists.

"When I say fire we will open fire on the windows of the building and then after on the police men."

"Alright."

"3...2...1...FIRE"

The two terrorists opened fired with there AK-47s destroying the glass and kill the three police men. They both hide in a near ally then two police cars where heading towards the fire shots. The two terrorists took out the RPG-7s they hid in the ally and fire at the police cars. They went up in flames burning the police men alive. The two terrorist ran down the ally to hide from the residents that where waking up to see what was all that noise.

A loud purr could be heard in the night sky as the 201 POHCh's Mi-24Vs rebased to the Macedonian operational base in response to the growing threat of terrorism. A pair of MI-24 hinds were already looking for the terrorist that were responisble for the attack on a Smaller Albanian police station, but it seemed that they had escaped into the safety of the slums. Any ground action into the slums would be unproductive as it was the center of anti-government action in the area.

The Pilot of the first Hind called into his radio "This is Wolf 1 to ARM HQ, the terrorist responsible for the attack have got away. Over" The air traffic controller responded, "Very well Wolf 1, return to base for debriefing, over and out." The helicopter pulled out after it's mission was over, no target meant no shooting....

The Tovarich Tantarin/Tovarich Patrick Tank commander sat atop his tank hands ready on the 12.7mm MAchine gun that made its home on the mount of the Turret. The T-90 tank rumbled down the smaller albania street slowly all in white marked with black letters of UN all over visible parts of its Chasis. Lieutenant Ramus peered about the streets the three tanks were sealing off the area that the attacks took place in and were to look out for anything out of place. BMP2's were also deployed with full compliments of the growing number of TT/TP Army forces who would form a perimeter around the incident sight.

He watched the Blue helmeted soldiers walk past his slow moving tank swiftly on the alert just as he, these men were of his home land of Tovarich Tantarin he noticed by the style of their uniforms and their double flags. His radio operator spoke on the tanks comm line relaying orders from the base to hold at the corner. Well the poor smaller Albanians were going to be waking up to troops doing house to house searches and tanks on their streets of course they were just doing their job and what was required of them.

Reports are coming in of a massive explosion within one of the main slum areas. Residents were seen running from the area covered in blood. In unconfirmed reports, sources on the scene talk of seeing what looks like blue UN helmets scattered across the street and what might be military wreckage. The government is investigating what they have described as a very unfortunate rupture to a main gas line that was running through the area. Reports that the explosion might have a link to emerging terrorist or organised crime elements have been dismissed.

Fox news :- R Schumacher reporting.

I have just visited the main hospital where doctors have told me that some of the bodies recovered from todays explosion where definitely those of foreign nationals judging by their uniforms. When I asked to see for myself I was told that ministry officials had already removed the dead to a seperate unit in order to free beds for an expected flu epedmic that could strike at any time.

"This is GNN Reporter Nicholas Heins once again reporting live from smaller Albania!" He yelled over the roar of the engine that belonged to a tank passing behind him another TT/TPA Tank. "Ever since the Recent attacks on police stations and other targets last night UN Peacekeepers have been on alert!" The tanks continued to rumble past in the background followed by blue hlemeted soldiers on foot waving as they went by " They have Stayed within the city and are assisting the Police forces with searching for these insurgents causing the trouble! No one has yet claimed responsibility for the attack and General Nelson is assuring the Smaller albanian public that he and his soldiers would not abandone the people of this nation to the will of such fiends. I've seen alot of movement lately Plus more and more Peackeepers from the Empire of tovarich patrick are being deployed. Six hundred more soldiers will be expected by monday of this week as well as a part of an Armored Division to support the nation of Smaller albania from any sort of internal Revolution. The Peace keepers are indeed attempting to keep the peace. Even though it may be through a show of force Nicholas Heins;GNN Smaller albania."

ARM soldier Rumn Vandakaum smoked his cig, hoping for action but the checkpoints into and out of the capital was seen as a boring assignment. A van drove up to the check point, stopping as usual at the checkpoint, "May i see your license and registration please?" Rumn said as the Driver lowered his window. "No." Rumn looked at the driver, but could already see the barrel of a gun pointed at his face. He barely had time to scream as the flash was the harbinger of his death.

His fellow soldiers had only time to see the blood splatter on the ground and here the screech of the tires before they opened fire on the van. The 5.56mm bullets punched through the car with ease and hit the driver. The car slung into a ditch 15 feet down the road from the checkpoint, as three troops ran up to the crashed vehicle the side door opened the soldiers were met by the blast of a AK-47 assault rifle. Only one of them survived, shooting back and killing the second terrorist.

The two terrorist responsible for the Police Station attacks had been found but at the cost of three ARM soldiers.

OOC: Independent Macedonia also said I can rp terrorists, however this group shares no affiliation with the Hellenes Queda group as of yet.)

IC: Despite the recent activities and bloodshed among this new nation, the urban area was relatively quiet, most likely due to the late time of day and anti-social legislations used by the peacekeeping forces. However despite this increased security, terrorism and riots were on the up, and tonight was definitely going to be no different.

12:30pm- Located near the local police Headquarters:

A Black Van began scouting the area to check for local forces, whilst keeping the speed low to avoid arousing suspicion. After the brief reconnaissance mission the van began to slowly cruise up towards the side entrance of the police station, a planned operation obviously about to commence. The short eerie silence that followed was eventually cut short by whispers made from the vicinity of the two hooded figures inside the van.
The first man began to whisper, his voice slightly more educated then that of the native tongue "So we are all set then"
"Roger" The Second terrorist replied with his rather more common voice.

A brief set of nods and expressions followed before the two black hooded terrorists departed from the van, leaving the engine on to allow a quick escape when the operation ended. After leaving the van the two 6ft hooded men swiftly proceeded to make their way to the side of the police headquarters, carrying several C4 explosives within each of their hands, which would be most likely used for their current objective. Upon arrival they proceeded to place the C4s on a certain designated part of the sidewall, before retreating to the safety of the black van, and to retrieve some of the Ak 47 arms located in the contents of the vehicle.

The two-hooded man both nodded, as it now appeared as if the operation was going to commence. Then with a swift press of a button from one of the men, the C4s attached to the wall of the police Headquarters begin to explode in a chain reaction effect, blowing a rather large hole in the sidewall of the building and sending ripples of reinforced building everywhere. As the first part of the operation commenced the two men began to sprint towards the vicinity of the hole and proceed to let rounds of bullets spray all across the inside of the building, resulting in huge screams and groans from the officers inside the building as they try to quickly reach for their guns in despair. After the appeared initial success, the two men began to enter the building whilst reloading, before letting off another barrage of ammunition to quell any survivors that survived the initial onslaught. Upon this latest barrage, the two men decided to retreat, as the operation appeared to be a success and the backup forces of the coalition would most likely be at the incident in a matter of minutes. So as a way of preserving themselves the two began to make their way back to the self made exit (hole), located just south of them. Little did they know that as they made there way towards the self made exit, a stray bullet appeared to strike one of the victors in the back of the head, sending him all but tumbling two the ground in a small puddle of blood. Upon seeing this the second terrorist started to break into a sprint towards the black van in a heap of panic, before setting off in the van and away from the crime of the scene. The van then continued to make its way into one of the many alleyways within the area, and there it was ditched, as the remaining man departed, and began to make his way through the passage, slightly cursing upon the fact that he had lost his partner.

(You can post the losses in a news flash or something, also perhaps at some point the groups could combine. :cool: )

The morning news told of the destruction of the day before,
"Hello i am Roger Hines, here at the scene of a terrific attack on the local police station. The Death toll is 32 so far, including the one terrorist that was killed in the event. His accomplace escaped, and authoritys later found his car ditched in an ally. As A result Independent Macedonian military leaders have concluded that a more strict curfew be set in place, which doesn't allow cars or people to be in the streets after 6:00 PM and until 6:00 AM. Also, the ARM troops have moved into the city, and are on active patrols everyday. We will keep you posted on this and other events as they happen."

The smaller albanians would watch the blue helmeted soldiers stream from the 6 BMP2's that rolled into the courtyard of the capital building. a Blue beret'd officer screamed and pointed in directions in a language that sounded almost slavik. They were definitly TT Blue helmets by the Double flags on their sleeves, the Blue white and red with a shield and a cross of the Tovarich Tantarin and the Golden Eagle of the Tovarich Patrick. They were obviously well trained if not on the scale of their counter parts from the TPA.

They were going to be handling security for the capital building as the terrorists increased their attacks the UN symbol bearing soldiers increased their ferocity of defending the people of smaller Albania, one the soldiers had unloaded the BMP2's took up positions around the courtard and on the street outside. A Logistics officer directed in 2 T-90 tanks who would help intimidate anyone even thinking about going near the front gate with authorization. Blue helmets could be seen about the city, they had lost five soldiers in the attack and they weren't happy especially Lieutenant General Nelson.

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

Nicholas Hines muttered to himself watching the action waiting for the camera man to set up, they were aggressive for peace keepers but when five of your men get killed for doing nothing you could expect the General staff to not like it. Over 1200 UN soldiers from Tovarich Patrick were now in country this included an armored division which sometimes blocked up traffic when its T-72s and its T-90s patrolled the streets. The patrols were getting bigger and bigger foot patrols of atleast twenty men were starting up in parts of the capital city and the there were plenty of check points in the roads into the city. All of them were backed up by armor, making it not the smartest thing to do to attempt to attack or escape force would be completely useless against them. "Boss, boss.. we're ready." His camera man said waving to him as he focused the camera.

"This is GNN reporter Nicholas Heins reporting from Smaller albania, after the Terrorist attacks in the past few days the Government forces and the peace keepers present here in the nation have taken a more aggressive stance. Still no one claims responsibility for these attacks which are obviously the work of Terrorists. The Capital building as you can see behind Me has been turned into virtually a fortress by UN Personnel and other government buildings are gaining the same treatment. Soldiers are alert and on the look out for any suspicious activity, Civilians are advised to do the same. There are many checkpoints and civilians have been advised to carry with them some sort of identification papers incase they are stopped and questioned." He took a breath for amoment remembering something else. " Surprisingly this morning they found the bodies of four men, all with criminal and terrorist ties it seems. They were bound and gagged and murdered in what seems like execution style, each with a single bullet in their forehead. The Peacekeeping forces said they will personally investigate these murders all of which have as i said before been execution style. I'll return with more news tomorrow GNN Nicholas Heins from smaller Albania."

8:15pm- In the urban centre, from one of the local flats.

The man continued to survey the increased military presence now around the area, knowing that another attack like the previous night would be all but impossible to execute. After briefly counting the amount of forces within the area, he reaches for his radio transmitter and begins to whisper to it

"Forces stand at....: 10 U.N soldiers
2 T72 Tanks
12 Local policemen
5-Armed Macedonian soldiers
A well-spoken man begins to reply, obviously being some sort of leader to the other guy...
"I...see. Very well we shall deal with them and show the infidels we mean business..For now i suggest...we revert to the Minor operation of 3b, which shall keep those forces busy..."

"Roger"..The man in the house replied


8-30: On the top floor of an apartment near the outskirts of the patrol

The two hooded men, very similar in dress sense to the two people who attack the police station earlier, watched the small patrol come into the area. These two seem to chuckle faintly, because to them this seemed like another easy opportunity to strike some more targets, as they had no backup and were unguarded. The two men then began to point the M135 rpgs they were currently holding, at the unsuspecting army patrol guards. After a short period of ghostly silence they fired their shells at the two-army guards, the shell engulfing them and most likely instantly killing them, despite their best efforts to escape to safety. The two men then proceeded to retreat to the safety of their apartment, as the reinforcements would eventually notice the noise and structural damage done to the surrounding area.

Six Hellenes Queda members where ready to ambush a U.N. patrol. Seven U.N. soldiers and one tank was passing through the street.

"They are coming!"

"Alright! ATTACK!"

The six terrorists got up and where located on top of the roof of a small building. One of them was holding a RPG-7 and launched a missile at the tank destroying it. While the other five opened fire and killed all the U.N. soldiers but two of terrorists got killed from some U.N. soldiers that where fast enough to spot them.

"Come on lets get out of here before they the other patrol finds us."

The man gazed at the ongoing fury with interest, whilst whispering into his radio transmitter.

"Sir.......theres another group but us it seems carrying out attacks...What are are orders on them?

The well-educated man replied in his usual commanding tone
"How else fool...We shall try and engage into some sort of agreement with them....As we need all the help we can get right now. Plus they seem a well organised bunch don't you think..." He paused for a moment before speaking once more

"And anyone who opposes them is a friend of ours..."

The man nods once again, before speaking once more
"As you wish....But this latest attack as you well know will result in increased military presence and therefore jeopardize are control"

"You fool...Let them come...its pointless them having a big army...as they are fighting an enemy hidden with civilians...So they of course wouldn’t dare try an bombardment or any kind of indirect fire for that matter..."

The Republic's Legion II arrived to its' destination to accomplish the peace keeping mission set for it. Legion II proceeded to set a perimeter around the entirety of the embattled Smaller Albanian city. The men quickly began setting barbed wire around the city perimter while heavy tanks and vehicles provided cover from the sporadic sniper fire coming from the city.

Within only a few hours the barbed wire was up and checkpoints set up. All people and vehicle wishing to cross the barricades were forcibly searched. All people, with the exception of peacekeepers, will be forced to stop one-hundred yards from the barricade and strip down to underwear to ensure they are not carrying explosives.

Peoples in vehicles will be forced to get out of their vehicle, and strip down just as pedestrians. The vehicle will then be approached by soldiers and searched while the driver is out of the vehicle.

Attention: All violators will be verbally warned, and then shot.

The following is a chart of the barricade:

Barricade (http://img72.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img72&image=defense.jpg)

The lines are defensive emplacements, no crossing will be allowed at these points.

The soldiers are dug in, and making sure no more reinforcements (For the terrorist) get into the city and no terrorist get out. Planning of assaults into the city is happening, but none as of now are in action.

Multiple sorties, carried out from the ARM operational base, by MI-24Vs were common place now. In response to the threat of roof-top terrorist attacks, the Hinds would be flying none stop to support Peacekeeper missions and patrols in the city. Macedonian troops were patroling the slums and and downtown during the day and manning defensive positions at night.

Colonel Raminsky had his M113 set up at the capital building, along with a platoon of infantry to bolster the Peacekeepers strength. News had come down from high command that the republic of Fate and Honor was moving in with a extremely large force, and he would rather Macedonian troops be doing less and less when the shit hit the fan.

*On the urban area of the small Albanian city*

The guy one again began to whisper into his radio transmitter, his voice a little more distressed them usual.

"Sir.... members report near the outskirts of town that a barricade around the city has started...there seems to be at least 80thousand men....and over 100 heavy-armoured tanks...

The man calmly replied in his usual educated tone
"Do not worry....you forget that we have several plans to counter act this new development....They think they can stop us with those puny toys and weak fencing....They really are fools...."
He paused for a brief period before speaking once more
"They think that by searching us they will stop the attacks......Well let see how these new opponents like an attack on them.."

The more anxious man then began to answer "So we shall initiate plan 5a major operation then....."

"Yes......of course " replied the man

The transmission then seem to end as the man began to call presumably more members of the group...



Near the outskirts of town, near the fencing:

Several men on the ground floor began to stride out of the building, unusually dressed in Blue Helmets and U.N symbols pictured on the attires. These new fashion trends the terrorists adopted were obviously a way of deception on the coalition forces, as they had acquired these uniforms several days prior to the U.N involvement, as they had expected them to intervene. The now 7 man strong group began to stride off towards the new main checkpoint just north of them, there equipment also matching the U.N's own, mostly likely due to the terrorist fraud activities just prior to this. As they approached the Legions checkpoints two soldiers began to walk up to them questioning why they were here.

"Sorry...but we must ask you why you are here as this place is all but secure.."

The man at the front of the group replied calmly
"We were just patrolling for rogue terrorists as ordered"

The two legionaries then nodded as they backed away letting them pass through.
After initial suspicion the men found their way through to the main checkpoint, where several hundreds of troops were stationed. As they arrived near the masses they began to glance at each other and proceed to nod. Little did the troops know that this acknowledgement meant a far more grim meaning, as the soldiers then proceeded to reach into their pockets and press some sort of a button. A few moments later chaos ensued as several of the bombs attached to the disguised terrorists began to go off in a chain reaction effect, sending shrieks of terror through the ranks of the legions. The bombs sent bits from the terrorists everywhere, despite them being well armoured, many of the men stationed close to them were also hurled apart like structural rubble. The effect the terrorists had planned had most likely been achieved, as the main outpost would now need extensive work, plus at the very least hundreds killed.

Reports rang through HQ that the terrorist had used suicide bombers against the checkpoints, and that they were disquised as peace keepers. Casualties were being counted up and security measures increased. The confirmed casualty count is 118 dead, 65 severely wounded, and 143 lightly wounded.

ATTENTION: ALL WISHING TO EVACUATE OR LEAVE THE CITY MUST DO SO IN A MARKED FRIENDLY VEHICLE. ALL WILL BE CHECKED.

Orders were given that the one-hundred tanks be divided amongst the checkpoints in the following manner ten to each minor checkpoint, and fifteen to each major checkpoint. The tanks would now guard the checkpoints, with the soldiers stations another one-hundred yards behind the line behind blast resistant barriers. All other sections of the barricade will be patrolled by one-hundred LAV Fighting-Vehicles, and 150 M151 "MUTTs". A reminder was issued to friendly forces that any other section of the barricade besides for checkpoints are shoot on sight. The M2A3 Bradleys were distributed amongst the major checkpoints, five to each major checkpoint.

The Abul Abbas Cruise Missile trucks were set-up behind the lines awaiting specific targets to be painted by friendly aircraft. They will only fire on specific painted targets as to avoid civilians casualties. The Republic of Fate and Honor request that Smaller Albania urge all citizens wishing to escape the fighting to evacuate to camps set up by us. They will be given food, cots, and cleaning facilities.

Additionally chain-link fences have been put up around checkpoints to combat the RPG threat. RPG's are reduced in effectiveness by 50% or more by a simple chain-link fence.

Finally, we have brought in thirty of our F-14's and an additional 30 of our F-16's and we kindly ask Smaller Albania to allow us to use their airstrips.

OOC:Lol...its going to be hard to initiate such a widespread and deadly attack now :p ...But I have some certain ideas which i will put into use when the time comes....But for now you are semi-safe...... ;) I am also curious in what counter-attack will happen, i have a feeling your going to bomb :( )

The centre of the city, near the U.N HQ:

The Brown bearded man, started to murmer into his intercom, his face was suprisingly smug as he spoke

"The attacks were a success sir...over 100 dead and many injured.However as expected their secruity is almost unbreachable and will vastly cut down are options of offensive tactics.

The all to similar well educated voice started to respond to the comment

"I see...Well we did what we had to do...And now before they plan any airstrike I suggest we start building underground bunkers and some sort of defence against those attacks...........I would also like to see an increase in attacks on the main forces within the cities, especially the air units as they pose quite the threat to us....."

The brown-bearded replied with a simple "Yes sir"

With that final brief remark the communications were broken and the operation planning commenced once again in the saftey of one of the many building housing terrorists.

On the rooftop of one of the deserted buildings:

Several dozens of men stood ready on many of the desserted buildings waiting for the imminent approach of the hinds, their M135 R.P.Gs ready to strike any low flying hind stupid enough to get in their range. Strangly enough their wish was granted as a small squadron of at least a dozen Hinds were begining to come within range, and unsuprisingly if they did engage them, this would be the biggest direct combat battle yet. As the Hinds came into range, the terrorists decided to take the pre-emptive approach,which resulted in many shells spraying around the night sky. The battle ensured was both fierce and bloody,as many exchanges between the two continued throughout the night. However the battle seem to finally sway in the coalitions way after much fighting as reinforcements were just starting to arrive, as well as the terrorists numbers were begining to dwindle, due to a constant barrage of machine gun and missle fire. The remaining dozen of fighters, started to flee from their positions on the roof and scattered each into many different alleyways and buildings, the result would which most likely allow a few to escape.

The aircraft brought in by the Republic of Fate and Honor were armed in a makeshift airfield contructed well outside the city perimeter. The thirty F-14's were each loaded with several AGM-65F 670lb Air-to-surface guided missiles. The thirty F-16's were each loaded with one GBU-10 2000lb bomb.

Little did the terrorist know, operatives within the towns had painted buildings they were operating in for air-strikes - especially those buildings they were firing from the rooftops on.

22:00 Hours, Bohago Air-Strip

"Fox-Trot I, your F-14's have green for go!"

"Roger that Command, we are taking off and ETA to targets is four minutes."

"Affirmative Fox-Trot I, report when mission is accomplished."

The F-14's streaked into the night sky, few lights could be seen in the embattled city as the pilots screeched toward their targets.

22:03 Hours, Approaching Combat Zone

"Boys, this is Fox-Trot I. Diverge, find your designated painted targets release your payload and return to base."

The roar of the engines could be heard over-head, but it was no use as the pitch black sky concealed the jet-fighters. With almost perfect synchronization several buildings around the city were lit up. Fire balls shooting out of the windows, roofs collapsing, and scatters tracer fire into the sky could be seen.

"Command, this is Fox-Trot I. Yee Haw boys, mission accomplished! Returning to base!"

The F-16's began to power up their engines, the glow of their engines iluminating the airstrip.

"Command, this is Fox-Trot II beginning follow-up on previous air assault."

"Roger that Fox-Trott II, get your boys over there."

The F-16's roared into the air, following the same path and after the same targets.

22:08 Hours, Approaching Combat Zone

"Alright guys, break up drop your bombs where painted."

These bombs were meant to go into the same targets that the missiles did, however these were much heavier and ground-penetrating. The explosions rocked the Earth. Rumbling could be felt by barricade soldiers miles outside of the city.

"Woo Hoo! Boys, pack up and head home."

22:15 Hours, Streets of Embattled City

100 M151 MUTT's with four special assault troops each, along with 50 LAV-25 fighting vehicles sped into the city. The vehicles split up and rushed to the explosion sites, injured civilians were piled on and evacuated with the vehicles while special assault troops unloaded and took up positions around the destroyed buildings.

They broke down doors and took up positions inside neighboring buildings, putting a burst of ammunition into any terrorist seen surveying the destruction. Snipers took to the rooftops of the cities tallest buildings, while assault troops turned off elevators and guarded stair wells.

It will be day before the damage was totally visible. Those outside the city could see smoke plumes rising. Civilians were told to stay in their home and not to come out to check on the situation. Through the night rifle fire could be heard as snipers and assault troops wiped out terrorist moving through the street. All vehicles not within view of assaulting troops were destroyed to prevent car bombs. Anyone seen roaming the streets after curfew are shot at with rubber bullets and tear gas, and if they have a weapon shot with lethal weapons.

(OOC:for further notice my Heli squadren only has 11 Hinds I am pretty small of a nation after all)
The Mi-24V Wolf 1 was returning from the fire fight in the city, Wolf 2 had taken a RPG straight to the cockpit, two friends gone in the flash. He looked over his shoulder as he watched the Fate and Honor planes bomb targets all over the city, "Out there more ambushes waited, and more friends to be lost", he thought. The Hind set down at the base with the rest of the squadren, almost all the aircraft were hit and it would take another week until they were all flying again.

"This is GNN news, today fighting erupted again in the capital of Smaller Albania as five Independent Macedonian soldiers were killed by an RPG attack and one army helicopter was shot down. A massive explosion engulfed a Fate and Honor military checkpoint killing over a hundred and injuring many more. A Tovarich Patrick was ambushed in the streets resulting in the lost of one tank and several troops. More news as it comes in, I am Chris Bratten, thank you for watching."

Colonel Raminsky couldn't believe one of his precious helicopters was shot down and several of his own troops killed. "Make sure all units are given the command to shoot any civilian that doesn't stop when asked and is out past curfew." He said as he looked over the small death toll compared to his allies in the operation.

As they began to hear the engines of aircrafts,the men furiously scampered from their positions on the roof, to the makeshift underground bunkers that were still being constructed all around the city, although many were to late as the f14s and f16s started to ravage the city with missles. For once the terrorists seem to be very suprised by the countrys bold move as many were hopelessly disorginised, and because of this many of the group were having to endure heavy casulities,whilst not inflicting many losses on the enemy with there sparadic fire of rpg shells and various weapons not so effective versus airfcrafts.
Whilst the terrorists casulities began to grow in size,the bombardment showed no sign of stopping, despite doing already huge structural damage to the surrounding area, and turning the now besieged city into a giant bloom of black smoke.
Just when the bombardment looked like it was beginning to be over another squadron of f 16s began to enter the view of the besieged city, in there ususal spearhead formation. After a brief stop with the bombardment it resumed again, with a bombardment of a more ground-penetrating nature, resulting in several of the underground shelters collapsing, and shards of glass and roadside to be spewed everywhere. Finally after a solid array of bombing, the fighters seemed to peel off and return to their airstrip, their mission an undouhted sucess. The next step for the coalition forces were to send in their so called special forces, and to quell the remaining terrorist threat that was still somewhat present among the outskirts, through their snipers and special forces team.

The remaining terrorist forces among the streets tried to exchange blows with the overwhelming forces, with all but anything they could find. However due to the bombing the sighted terrorists had been split into several pockets of ressistance that were easily quelled after several gunfights with special forces.
The remaining sighted terrorists within the buildings also bravely thought against the offenders, however they to were eventually crushed after several encounters with special forces because of their seperated nature. However whilst this was going on the majority of the terrorists were still underground and were now making their way with increased speed through the underground passages and towards the next city of small albania, their path only slightly hindered by brief encounters with local army and special forces.


The next city of albania, near the urban center:

The man sat there rather calmly, as he began to speak in his native tongue through an intercom:

"So what are the casultie figure commander...."

The commander replied his voice rather erratic, most likely due to the recent events "Well as it stands....:
2732men killed......
763 Badly injured
890 minor injuries
I cant be sure....as there are still many gunbattles going on in the city....."

The man replies once again in his calm manner, a smirk now visible on his rather aged face:

"I.see well farewell for now....do not worry we will reak are revenge...but that will wait to the morning to we discuss it....I"

The commander replies in the common address to a leader "Yes sir"

With that the intercom closes, it had been indeed a bad day for the terrorists as many had died and many captured, which will most likely lead to the capture of more higher up leaders of the terrorists.

OOC: You post your losses....and rp about plans with the new info you have or whatever...you can post my losses somewhere around what i put.

((The bombing of the checkpoint did indeed inflame the attack. Before that I was just planning to sit outside the city heh.))
As the battle dwindled down and the last of the terrorist were dead, or scattering from the area to continue their devious plot in other parts of the nation the circular barricade began to enclose on the city. The special forces remained in their position and awaited regulars to link up with them.

The roughly 80,000 regulars supported by heavy tanks and vehicles searched door to door. Arresting and eradication the last of terrorist and their supporters. Every two-hundred yards a number of soldiers were left behind and formed concentric circles of defenense in the cities.

Suprisingly, many terrorist surrendered and gave up details of their operations. Legion II regulars didn't like the mop-up job, but they did it. One soldier said, "There isn't anything honorable about cracking open a closet door and putting a few bullets into the enemy as they try to fight back with fist and sticks."

Once the soldiers had linked together in the center of the city, Legion II soldiers raised the Smaller Albanian flag on the government building along with several police stations that had been raided by terrorist.

Following the securement of the city, terrorist bodies were piled in the courtyard of the Smaller Albanian Government building waiting for trasport out of the cities. Fate and Honor trucks rushed in wish food, water, and medical essentials while rushing out with dead bodies to be disposed of.

Mobile medical units of Legion II treated wounded civilians, and even captured wounded terrorist. Fires were being put out around the city from the bombing the previous night, and civilians without homes are given the oppurtunity to live in camps with all necesarry needs being met.

In summary: The city has been captured.

The port was relatively low-manned in terms of military, despite the country being put on High alert this port was guarded rather laxly by a few Local police divisions and a few beach patrol. However little did they know this would all change in the space of a few minutes.

7:45- just north of the port

The two speedboats slowly cruised towards the port, there objective was very much different from the average tourist naval attractions. And although they looked relatively normal in there white shirts and blue jeans, under the storage compartment of the two boats loomed a much darker secret.

7:50 Arrival at the north of the port

As the two boats slowly cruised to its destination, they were briefly stopped before being allowed confirmation to pass through and into the port. This was the chance the terrorists were waiting for, as when they were given the all clear they began to up the acceleration of the speedboats, and proceeded to ram straight into the left and right port's front, much to the horror of the helpless lifeguards and police soldiers. The impact of the crash almost immediately detonated the bombs hidden within the boat, sending huge ripples of water everywhere and causing huge pieces of the ports structure to fly everywhere, which would most likely result in the death of people. The terrorists had indeed reached there goal of disturbing the ports and it seemed that any chance of surrender would be widely rejected.


The small village just 10 miles south of the captured city:

The local school had indeed been home to hundreds of many young Macedonians, however this sight was considered worthless and therefore no troops of recognized appearances resided there, so it would prove to be an easy target for the well trained terrorists.
8:15
3 Black van began to approach the school parking lot rather suspiciously, eventually after much scouting of the area proceeding to reside just a few metres north of the entrance. Three half a dozens groups slowly began to emerge from each of the darkened vans, there faces covered by several dark black masks, and equipped with an Ak 47 each. They then after this brief pause began to sprint in a tightly nit circular formation towards the door, and then when entering the room shouting quite intently

"Everyone get down on the floor now, failure to abide this will result in death...And anyone thinking of phoning the police think again once more..."
8:41
Two half -dozen terrorists then proceed to climb the spiral stairway and bring down the remaining students and teachers, their orders to kill anything that moves,unfortunatly affecting a rebellious teacher. The remaining terrorists proceed to search each person for some sort of communication or weapon, as to make sure they do not escape. After this lengthy move, they proceed to bar the windows up with some scrap wood they removed from the floorboards, whilst also keeping the hostages scared and in control by continuing to point the Ak 47s at their foreheads.

9:00
As soon as the brief operation is completed they begin to talk to each other in a slightly Japanese accent.

"Well now that is done shall we continue the operation sir...." The first terrorist asks intently

The rather 6ft4 bulk of a man responded, as he appeared to be the leader

"Yes ring up the fools and tell them of this interesting development"

After a brief exchange of shouting between the hostages are ended, one of the terrorists is signalled to make a call to the local police station in light of this new needs.

As it rings and is answered the terrorist begins to speak
"Dont bother talking and just listen....we are the terrorist group that has been plaguing your nation...and we are now holding some hostages in the village just south of the one your nation so meagly captured...Failure to return the call within 30mins will result in execution of these hostages...................................Good day" With that he puts the phone down, and goes back towards the hostages his Ak47 pointed at one of the teachers head...

Colonel Raminsky answered the phone, "Sir, it seems that the terrorist have captured a school filled with Macedonian minoritys. And they have threatened to kill them if their call is not returned in 30 minutes" Raminsky looked down at his watch, "Damn, patch me through, and record the message."

Already a convoy of 900 mechanized ARM soldiers were on their way to the school in what looked like it could become a lengthy stand off hostage situation. The few hinds that could lift off after the previous encounter also made their way south to the school in the hopes of arriving before it was too late.

The soldier came back on, "Ok sir you're on." Raminsky looked back at his watch, "Hello, this is Colonel Raminsky of the 1st brigade of the 1st ARM Infantry Division, i understand you have some frightened young children there." He answered, waiting for the terrorist response.

The phone used for the call started to ring the terrorists had obviously got there wish to speak with the commander. After a brief silence the terrorist-hostage leader finally answered the call

"Are your hear comrade.....Before you speak i would like to demand the following:
1.Release of all terrorist prisoners, as well as giving them safe transport to a designated location
2.100 trucks loaded with supplys
3.Pull out of all non-Albanian troops
4. A new goverment to be established which we will decide

He pauses for breath slightly as he speaks again with a brim confidence noticeable from him
"And dont try to rescue them with special forces...or any other tricks you may have....If you do not abide by that....then the explosives which we have now just attached to over 70 children and 20 teachers shall be detonated...
Nice doing business with you..and return the call within 10mins now or they all die anyway....."

(OOC: this will be my last post tonight so no more "call back in" lines anymore, lol)

Colonel Raminsky called back after consulting his advisor, "We can arrange the release of prisoners and supplies, but we have no control over the UN which you would need to get the peacekeepers to leave and to arrange the break up of Smaller Albania." Raminsky looked over at one of the soldiers that had entered the command hut, "Three minutes." The soldier said, Raminsky nodded. "Something i can assure you though, if you kill the children without cause, we will excecute the prisoners. Three hundred Macedonian Children may die, but 1,000 Albanian terrorist prisoners will die because of that, and i will not be able to stop any of my men from killing any future prisoners."

The school in the village near the captured city:

9:15

Two white coaches begin to arrive within the parking lot towards the front of the school, followed by two more just minutes later. After a small period of silence, the doors proceed to open as at least 60 adults and children start to emerge from the doors of the coaches, whilst being closely guarded by another 2-dozen set of terrorists. The terrorists then proceed to lead them towards the school doors, their Beretta’s and Ak47’s pointing intently, just to show who was in control.

9:17 The anxious hostages are now led through the school doors as before and made to rest where all the other hostages are being positioned, closely guarded by several terrorist troops. As soon as the brief operation commenced the leader of the hostage-takers once again proceeded to return the call his voice now as cocky as ever

"Ah..you wouldn’t want to kill are terrorist friends now would you.......Because failure to do so will result in a further captured 180 tourist Macedonians to be executed........."
He paused for a moment before speaking briskly once again
"And if you do not believe us....bring a media crew with no strings attached and we shall prove it to you......Now once again if you do not withdraw your troops ..10 shall be executed within the next hour..............Good day"
With that the leader ended the call waiting for the reply with curiosity

Outskirts of second city:
Two snipers peered out from one of the many rooftops on this new city, camouflaged in their dark black suits, and waiting for the police patrols to come into the view of the riffles they had set up.

Sadly enough the police had not learned from the attacks before as three men began to come into sight of the snipers. Upon seeing this, the first sniper began to target what appeared to be the head of the sergeant of the group, occasionally modifying the zoom to get a perfect shot. After a short period of lengthy aiming, the sniper finally got a perfect shot and squeezed the trigger, sending a huge projectile aiming to pierce through the back of the sergeants head. Almost simultaneously the second sniper began to aim at a second soldiers head, sending another metal bullet around the vicinity of the area. Then as the confusion among the ranks grew, they decided to withdraw from their position on the roof and proceed to make their way through an alleyway, which would no doubt seal, their escape.

Raminsky wasn't going to yield over the loss of Albanian citizens no matter their etnicity. "You do what you want, but one way will lead to the death of alot of Albanians the other could lead to you getting what you want. You release the kids now and i can assure you that our forces will leave, otherwise there will be alot more deaths than you had planned on." The soldier from before came back in and gave him the thumbs up, signaling the fact that the mechanized troops had finally arrived and were surrounding the compound. "Just to let you know, my forces have arrived to accept your surrender and to recieve the hostages, or arrange for the excecution of 1000 Albanians, your choice." The Colonel hung up the phone. The loss of 300 Macedonian Albanians was nothing to him, he was slavic anyway. No problem who died as long as none of his own men were hurt.
The eternal-dragons
21-09-2004, 12:09
The terrorist leader watched profusely as the men began to surround the compound, his lips slightly smirking. After a brief period of mechanized troops surround the building he began to speak on the phone once again.

"I see.......well for double crossing us you have just committed legions of men to death..."

In that final brief remark he seemed to signal to another terrorist to press several buttons from a control pad he was holding, a move that would no doubt involve the explosives wired underneath the ground. After the small period of silence before the storm, a large quantity of explosives began to go off simultaneously around the outside perimeter, causing huge bits of concrete to shoot up in different directions. This new threat would most likely reek havoc among the tightly cordoned forces around the structure, and therefore result in many deaths despite them being well trained or not.

Seeing the forces in disarray, several terrorists on the roof began to react, by loading there Ak47s, and letting off huge bursts of fire towards the explosions, hoping that this would foil there so called "Rescue operation.


9:55 A building just opposite the government Headquarters:

The man continued to wait, knowing that when the leader of smaller Albania came out he would be ready and waiting to strike a bullet in his head. However since the several attacks over the past months on police stations, security was becoming tighter, with several different sorts of troops and tanks patrolling the area greatly slowing down attacks. However despite this Quan kitsuki had managed to slip into the city through the usage of the old underground tunnels, unknown to the ever-increasing police of the area. Despite getting through, Quan knew that he would only get one chance for this assassination attempt, as the police were beginning to suss out the underground tunnels and trace the recent attacks back to this area.

10:02

The time had come for the would be assassin, as several political diplomats began to emerge from the Headquarters. Sensing that he prime target presence was imminent, he began to adjust the zoom of the sniper and undo the safety catch protecting a accident fire. After several more minutes past, his wish began to come true, as the spiritual leader of smaller Albania proceeded to emerge from the vicinity of the government Headquarters, dressed in his usual suit and trousers now common among the Albanian politicians. As the event started to unfold, Quan decided to take the initiative by firing a single shot aimed in the vicinity of the president’s head. If one shot didn’t succeed then Quan would certainly make sure the second succeeded, as he reloaded again allowing another bullet case fall to the floor as the second shot fired aiming for his head once more. Seeing the chaos he had caused, he reloaded one final time before squeezing the trigger, making the body of Quan fall to the floor in a puddle of blood.

Seeing as our assistance has no longer been asked for, we will immediately remove our forces from the region. The last of our forces will have streamed off onto the boats, to set for home, in around two hours. (A couple of RL minutes). We ask that Smaller Albania immediately take over control of the city, and if they don't it will become lawless as we leave.

2nd city just a few miles of the captured city:

The celebrations began, parades of masked men shot up their Ak47's in joy as they had beaten the invaders, despite the intense bombardment. The news came of all but a surprise to the terrorists, as many air defences were being reconstructed as they expected another bombardment, but they were all mistaken to the joyous supporters of the group. One of the terrorists was quoted as saying to the nearby media station
"The infidels came with there toys expecting to just roll us over....yet they all have their tails behind there legs running like cowards...It is indeed a glorious day for us and are leader and perhaps we will be recognized as the new leaders of the nation "

However despite the good news to the terrorists, news of the assassination had not yet broken out, as many were still fighting small gunfights with local opposition forces and waiting news of the hostage situation.

We have tried to protest peacefully, but we were put down cruelly, so therefore we decided if we were ever going to put across are view as a nation we had to act in a way that was never seen before, hence the so called "Terrorists acts". You have seen the disarray the government is in, as well as its lack of thanks to even allies. We now humbly ask for help in establishing a new government for the people, and therefore is agreed we shall stop are terrorist attacks and seek diplomatic relations for possible economic revival.

We await your reply

The explosion of the school area was shocking, but few troops were outside of their vehicles when the explosion erupted, resulting in the death of 18 soldiers. The small arms was met by stiff resistance as the Hinds entered the fray, gunning down the enemy with their machine guns and firing rockets at non-essential targets. The wounded were being lifted out on a few of the Hind Ks and the vehicles backed off, firing as they went.

In the fray, as a few terrorist weren't looking several children and a teacher broke across the school grounds, but were shot to pieces by terrorist soldiers. "This is Wolf 1 fire at will, kill anything that moves!" The squadren leader yelled in reply to the deaths. Rockets screamed into the school killing terrorist and children alike. Raminsky couldn't stop the pilots as they gunned down every last enemy in sight. The stand off was over, but at such a great cost that the enemy might as well of just killed the children.

As the Macedonian forces started pulling back across the border and police units started to follow, the sky behind them was alive with flames. Peacekeeping never worked, and would never work as long as people that would do anything to kill fought on.

Official response to the pull out by President Vladimir Alexandre
"We are in grief at the loss of so much life, and ideals. As a terrorist faction rises to power, the chances of the people fall. Death becomes rampant and life becomes a thing you fight to keep. We apologize to the Smaller Albanian people that we have failed them, and their way of life. We are sorry."

Seeing as there has been a failure to secure the school without a loss of life, the Emperor no longer offers The eternal-dragons an attempt at becoming friends. The Emperor absolutely condemns the attack on innocent children by the terrorist. The Emperor URGENTLY request that Smaller Albania request that Imperial Troops station themselves indefinately in the region to root out terrorist scum.

Encrypted message to fate and honour:

One again we state that we did not intend for the killing of all hostages and terrorists alike. We would also like to say we were planning to release the hostages untill the peacekeepers decided to attempt a rescue operation, and therefore proceeded to gun down terrorists and Hostages alike. They are the scum who committed the attack, and we mealy responded in a self-defence manner, and if you check the facts the hind d's were the one who attacked the complex and hostages, whilst we just targeted the enemy's troops because of their failure to negotiate. Now before this event we were willing to give up are arms, but now because of their rash acts will result in a full-scale war against the cruel Macedonians.

The transmission then ends, but the local captured city by the terrorists, begin to broadcast a message from the captured Media station

"I as a spokesman for are leader and the people cause ..condemn the heavy handed tactics of the Macedonians...They want a war against their nation then so be it....As you all know the assassination attempt on the president seems to have succeeded and many of the local governments police forces in the county have joined are cause...resulting in a increase in number and arms..This is indeed no longer a civil war...but now it is a true full scale war against the scum that is Macedonia.....We now state that any one loss of life on are group will result in almost a dozen life’s on your people.....civilian or not. As for fate and honour we commend the countries efforts ...however any attack on us will also result in retaliation....you have been warned.."

With that the official transmission ends, resulting in several chants of cheers and claps by the countries people. This was indeed not the minority of supporters anymore, but instead has become the majority of people fighting for the terrorists cause.

Underground Bunker on the edge of the Border:

Several terrorists waited, positioned on the several man-made bunkers and reeds, unnoticeable to the Macedonian supply conveys. As the convoy’s started to emerge into sight, the terrorists once again took the initiative, by firing several explosive projectiles at the convoy and the several armoured vehicles surrounding it. The R.P.G fire sent the small patrol of vehicles into panic, as several explosions were starting to detonate as the projectiles seem to strike the targets., sending a chilling message to the now retreating Macedonian forces.

Don't mess with terrorists.

Following fate and Honours declaration of war, the terrorist’s leaders responded by with another chilling message from one of their many owned media stations.
" You may have numbers and many men.....But as a great general once said ..........For should the enemy strengthen his van, he will weaken
his rear; should he strengthen his rear, he will weaken his van;
should he strengthen his left, he will weaken his right; should
He strengthen his right, he will weaken his left. If he sends
reinforcements everywhere, he will everywhere be weak......So bring all the forces you want they will be merely a flock of lambs to the slaughter ........You see are forces are like a hunted jackal....which when cornered is at its most dangerous....Now the war of the Balkans will truly begin"

With that the transmission then ceases.

The terrorist Headquarters:

The cleric looked at the rest of the people, his face of a rather serious nature. After a brief period of surveying the battle plans scattered across the table, he began to speak his voice that of a thick Russian orthodox accent

"So it begins......Well we shall be ready as there navy and their air force will be useless when they find out that the ports and air bases have been rimmed with explosives set to go off at any time..As for their land forces.there is only one place they can attack from which is the border line between the two nations..."
He pauses for a minute as he points to the area on the map in which he expects the main coalition forces to land. He then proceeds to survey the battle plans to the rest of the commanding figures of the terrorists.

Government Chemical and biological production sites:

Several terrorists dressed in local police uniforms begin to make their way through the side door of the government chemical complex, under the cover darkness. Ever since several of the coalition forces left the country, security had been greatly weakened, which meant in an increase in terrorists raids on government holdings, and tonight was going to be no different. As they entered the room, they proceeded to unleash a barrage of bullets, from their several equipped Ak-47's, resulting in the few guards stationed there to apparently fall. As the local guards appeared to be taken out, the terrorists continued on their way, raiding several vials of chemicals and other various chemical and biological items as they went. After the initial operation was a success, the terrorists made their way briskly towards the side door once more, in which upon escaping, they fled in all different directions.

The Emperor laughed at the thought of war with the terrorist, and the fact that he had an additional 630,000 Men in three more legions for reserve. Himself, and his advisors knowing well that the terrorist had hit ports in the area decided against docking in friendly waters. The fleet had more than enough supplies to anchor far off the coast and launch sorties into the region.

ATTENTION: ALL BOATS, SUBMARINES, AIRCRAFT, AND PERSONS APPROACHING FLEET WILL BE FIRED UPON.

Reports had been recieved that the terrorist managed to steal chemical and biological weapon, the Emperor was concerned by this. Upon his orders generals communiated down the rank for all soldiers to be on standby with there C-B gear. Furthermore, the Nuclear Submarines sent along with the fleet have armed there missiles as a contigency if WMD were used of Imperial Fate and Honor forces.

Villages and small camps where terrorist and their supporters were believed to be, were targeted for bombing. Along with those targets, all Chemical-Biological stockpiles were targeted to be bombed to prevent further use by terrorist.

10:25 Hours Terrorist Village, Border region of Independant Macedone/Smaller Albania

Simple villagers ran for their lives, terrorist desperately tried to bring down the roaring F-14's with fire from their technicals. Within a matter of seconds missiles streaked through the sky, slamming into infastructure buildings and suspected terrorist mustering points. AH-64 apaches came from behind hills and pounded terrorist technicals with missiles, and cut down fleeing terrorist with their 25MM auto-cannon. Finally, before they turned to head home they unleashed a barrage of missiles onto local crops - hoping to prevent food from supporting the terrorist.

10:30 Hours Skies above Terrorist Camp Alpha, Smaller Albania

B-52's bumbled over-head preparing to unleash their payload of hell. Terrorist scurried to find cover before the bombing began. Several made it into tunnels, but the bombs starting raining down. Tonne after tonne of bombs poured from the sky, kicking up dirt and trashing buildings. One B-52 trailing behind dropped a 20,000lb Daisy Cutter to mop up. This lumbering bombed fell to the earth, and in a brilliant explosion kicked up so much dirt the bomber crews couldn't even confirm their missions accomplished or not.

10:44 Hours Skies above Chemical/Biological Weapon Stockpiles, Independant Macedonia - Smaller Albania

F-16's streaked into action. They unleashed several thousand pound bunker busting missiles into the underground facility and utterly destroying it. The peeled off and returned to carrier. On the way back they spotted a convoy of terrorist supplies, using their remaining munition sprayed it with auto-cannon fire and dropped a couple 500lb bombs on it. They sped back to carrier leaving a plume of smoke in the background as the convoy was burning, and everything to the back slowed down by the piles of wreckage.

22-09-2004, 18:33
10:25 Hours Terrorist Village, Border region of Independent Macedonia/Smaller Albania:

Despite the huge barrage of missiles from the F14's, many of the terrorists were well prepared, and therefore many of the bombs killed the helpless civilians positioned all around the village. Despite the small loss of terrorist life, many of the villages buildings were decimated into a giant bloom of dark black smoke, and after the intense round of bombing many of the ordinary villagers would become homeless and so called refugees. As a way of counteracting the intense bombardment, many terrorists fired several rounds of bullets from the anti-air guns positioned in the various bunkers around the village, and although it may of only damaged a few planes, it gave the terrorists time to warn the others, and ship large quantities of various items to the various under-seiged towns and villages loyal to the terrorists supporters.

Casualties: 35 terrorists killed 225 civilians killed
20 Badly injured 134 badly injured
76 minor injuries 108 minor injuries
80% Of Civilians structures damaged in some way, including crops. 5% Of underground structures damaged in some way
Road network connecting village to other villages badly damaged although still accessible
4 anti aircraft guns lost.
(You post all your losses)

10:30 Hours Skies above Terrorist Camp Alpha, Smaller Albania]


Due to the terrorists being pre-warned, the camp was now overwhelmingly packed with anti-air guns and natural + structural air defences, shipped from the previous bombarded camps. As the fighters came into range they were in for a weird little awakening, as the skies began to be filled with bright barrages of anti-aircraft guns, leaving many fighters most likely destroyed in its wake. However despite the ongoing chaos in the skies, damage still was done to the surrounding camp, as several penetrating bombs caused the earth itself to erupt, destroying many structures and training facilities to fall in a heap of flames.

Causalities: 62 Terrorists dead
23 Badly injured
56 minor injuries
75% Of training facilities in the camp destroyed or damaged
Minor damage to the extensive tunnel network due to air defences
(You post losses here two and from then on to your forces)

10:44 Hours Skies above Chemical/Biological Weapon Stockpiles, Independent Macedonia - Smaller Albania

Since the government building was recently raided for the majority of its chemicals, it had no more use and therefore was all but evacuated if not for a few government guards who were all but obliterated. However due to F16's attack, the underground facility was all but destroyed in a giant bloom of thick black smoke, destroying what remained of the governments own main chemical/biological plant.

However the supply truck that was bombed was unfortunately mistaken for a terrorist supply truck, and therefore many of the loyal government villages were enraged at the fact that there only sort of aid was cut off and hence destroyed, leading to many to now join the terrorists cause.

Casualties:
Chemical/biological plant all but completely destroyed.
23 Local government soldiers killed
(Smaller Albania ignore that if you see fit)
2 Heavily injured
Aid convey destroyed 10:51 Hours Coastline, Smaller Albania
Minor damage to surrounding roads.


11:15 Hours Coastline, Smaller Albania

Seeing as this was the chance to gain the initiative, a small group of terrorist soldiers began to rim the area with claymore mines, resulting in a horrific loss of life if they ever crossed the claymores. After the task was complete, the 50 or so soldiers would wait in a nearby terrorist village, to ambush the upcoming invasion

((OOC: Over the terrorist camps, it wasn't fighters that bombed you. It was B-52's flying out of range of just machine-gun/auto-cannon anti-aircraft fire. So actually we lost none on that mission.))

Losses:

1 F-14 destroyed
2 F-14's un-operable until extensive repairs
5 F-14's require cosmetic repairs

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

12:43 Hours Coastline, Smaller Albania

Tomahawk Cruise Missiles were prepped to fire. All targets not completely destroyed by the air-craft strikes were to be hit by a barrage of these cruise missiles - especially anti-aircraft defenses.

Spy-Plane images came into the control room on a closed via feed, and crewman began to program the coordinates for the cruise missiles to strike.

12:52 Hours Coastline, Smaller Albania

Cruise Missiles roared off of the ships and speeding toward their targets. Remaining standing structures in the terrorist camps were hit, along with identified anti-air sites in the camp.

Several miles away the villagers were once again scurrying for safety as the missiles streaked in, slamming into anti-air emplacements. The barrage slowed, and finally one last cruise missile flew overhead and slammed straight into the most packed residential area of the village.

12:55 Hours Amphibious LZ, Smaller Albania

Advance scout teams picked up the mining of the area by the terrorist. Command gave the order for the squadron of B-52's to carpet bomb a one mile path, leading to the nearest village, through the suspected mine field.

(ooc: We only have about 50 terrorists positioned there and no anti-aircraft guns as such on the coastline: We do however has some on the village...We do have natural and man-made defences though everywhere)

12:52 Hours Coastline, Smaller Albania:

The few terrorists that were there, cursed as another barrage of missiles imploded on the coastline, resulting in many the remaining terrorist buildings and camps to become a black plume of smoke like the others. However due to the extensive natural and man-made air defences, many of the terrorists managed to avoid the barrage without much injury.

Casualties: 6 terrorists killed
10 terrorists heavily injured
3 minor injuries
95% Of all training camps and terrorist structures destroyed or badly damaged
Some of the natural and man made air defences destroyed, although many still remain..

Village near the coastline:

The next salvo of missiles streaked in, resulting in another major loss of innocent life, due to the closely condensed urban area. However despite this, many of the terrorists were unaffected due to them sheltering in the vast network of underground tunnels, present all around the village. The rather large anti-air emplacements were however quite visible affected, as many were abandoned due to the constant barrage of missles. The same cannot be said for the village structures however, as many of them were all but a pile of rubble along with the villagers who rested near them.

Casualties:

A further 125 villagers killed
79 heavily injured
64 minor injures
97% of all village structures destroyed or damaged in some way
Road network inaccessible in some parts
25% Of anti-air emplacements destroyed or damaged

13:37 Hours, Inland Smaller Albania

Legion I had made landfall, and navigating through the path B-52's had carpet bombed. Their orders were to make their way to the nearby village, snuff out resistance, and occupy.

On the way to the village various pockets of resistance popped up, and caused minore insuing fire-fights. The heavy vehicles gave the Imperial troops a distinct advantage over the resistors which used small arms fire.

As the Legion I appeared on a large hill nearby Alpha Village, their objective, over a loud speaker they demanded all resisdents leave the village. The only response was burst of gunfire. The Imperial troops proceeded to set-up their 155MM, and 105MM howitzers on the hill, all residents of the village now deemed resistors.

The cannons were set-up, and prepared to fire. Awaiting orders from the fleet.

13:56 Hours, Hill overlooking Alpha Village

"You have fire confirmation."

"Roger that."

The artillery opened up fire, and artillery shells roared through the air. Within a minute nearly one-hundred shells were fired, smacking into the village. After two minutes, and approximately three-hundred shells later the barrage was orders stopped. Snipers awaited the dust and smoke to clear for their chance to put a round into anything moving with so much as a knife for a weapon. A few bullets were fired, but overall the village was silenced.

The soldiers moved in, and set-up fortifications on surrounding hills. Using heavy vehicles they pushed collapsed buildings into makeshift walls of shatters masonry. Apaches were stationed on a nearby hill constantly flying a perimeter around the village. A supply line was secured between the "Ex-Village" and the fleet.

14:43 Hours Secured Perimeter, Alpha Village

Chemical/Biological early warning systems were set-up around the perimeter, and all soldiers were advised to be prepared to don their gas masks.

13:37 Hours, Inland Smaller Albania:

As the enemy troops proceeded to advance they were met with little resistance, from the small bunkers and gun emplacements around the surrounding area. After several minutes of approaching the village, the invaders began to call out for the residents to live, which was answered by radical supporters Ak 47 from one of the destroyed houses rooftop. The invaders responded by proceeding to set up artillery emplacements all over the hill, surprisingly met with hardly any resistance. Whilst all of this was going on, the majority of the terrorists were now rimming the ground-base of the village with the remaining remote controlled claymores they had in there possession, whilst once completing the relatively easy objective, escaping through some of the vast network of tunnels.

Casualties:

5 Terrorists killed
4 captured
2 heavy injuries
2 minor injuries

13:56 Hours, Hill overlooking Alpha Village

Upon the orders of the Commanders, the artillery emplacements opened fire, resulting in one of the most vicious barrages the secluded village had received yet. The now ruined village was once again subjected to plumes of black smoke, resulting in many more loss of civilians due to their congregated nature. Being very well organised however, the terrorists had mostly retreated the bombarded area, resulting in minimal loss of life. The claymores that had been placed however were also well protected and camouflaged by tons of rubble moved during the set up of the artillery set up. When the bombardment stopped, the snipers once again showed no mercy on the dwindling villagers, by killing the few that remained in the open.

Now that the second part of the operation began the terrorists proceeded to initiate there so called counter attack onto the incoming enemy. So as the armoured vehicles and stray soldiers moved in to check for survivors, the terrorists detonated the claymores sending several bits of shrapnel into the oncoming vehicles and men, the explosions smoke screening what effect it had on the opposition forces.

Casualties 99% OF all civilian buildings damaged
235 civilians killed
79 injured
Minimal damage to surrounding tunnels
2 terrorists killed
6 heavily injured
1 minor injury
The enemy had indeed conquered the village, but what value was it too them now in a pile of rubble. The skirmish indeed may have been won, but it seemed that this would be a long campaign.

The jeep pulled up to a small inflatable speed boat. The two soldiers got out, escorted him to the boat, sat down, and told the boat driver to go. A few minutes later they pulled up to the carrier, and the delegate was escorted to a room far within the carriers hull.

"I am always against the supression of a peoples voice. While it may be perhaps true that I control all power in my nation, I am very attentive to my peoples needs and wants. I always grant audience to concerned citizens of my nation. Nothing makes me more angry than a nation who kills, supresses, and abuses its' own people. However, can you provide sufficient proof of their crimes against your people? Oh, and out of curiosity - what do you think about my military? There is nothing better than the enemies view point of that."

He nods slowly, before speaking once more:

" The evidence is there you just need to investigate the country...We are also pretty certain that the leaders hold records of these in their Headquarters....Although they try to cover up these violent ending to protests....the leaks are always their it just needs the right military presence to investigate...As for your military....I think it provides quite a punch...and if not for the groups desire to succeed....we would have lost and run like cowards...However that is not the case..due to are charismatic leader which you hopefully one day shall meet.."

The Emperor replied in a more upbeat tone:

"I will recognize you as a nation so long as the following conditions are met. Imperial forces remain to investigate your claims, Imperial forces are allowed to assist in rebuilding, your leader stands side by side with me as allies, and you renounce your terrorist past. Once again, should you meet these conditions we will recognize you as a sovereign state."

The man nods once again, before speaking once more.
"I accept that imperial forces investigate the claim,and your assistance in rebuilding the war-torn nation. However we do not want any Embargo's or sanctions of any kind on are nation, as it will greatly affect are chances of rebuilding. As for the leaders, we would gladly become allies with you and open up several trade routes once the ports are repaired. However we will not disband the group, just in case we are invaded or attacked in a coup, as are army would be too weak and unable to act if this event happens."

The Emperor smiled and spoke:

"From henceforth the Empire of Fate and Honor recognizes The eternal-dragons as a sovereign nation and independant from Smaller Albania. As I am speaking Imperial forces are securing your borders and preparing to air-drop food and medical supplies around your new-found nation. I wish to meet the leader who I am to recognize as a friend of the Empire, I have arranged transport to my nation for him if he wishes. Supplies will be dropped to all towns and villages within around the clock for the next two days. Upon your request we will dispath contractors to the region to construct power facilities, water facilities, police stations, roads, bridges, and other infastructure. We are also willing to train, arm, and supply a small The eternal-dragon army which in turn can train more The eternal-dragons recruits - basically putting you on the road to a professional army. You are free to go now Mr. - What is your name? I never caught it."

The man once again nodded, his face still eerily calm
"We are glad and grateful for this offer. As for constructing the region, that is also greatly appreciated and the gracious leader and supporter of are cause shall aid this effort by supplying several 100's of his own contractors. As for the army, we accept the offer of a national armed force, but we also request that we keep are militia for defensive purposes only. However on your request of meeting the leader, has to be at present declined as he intending to his own affairs. However I'm sure that we could arrange the transportation of are Russian-cleric, who in turn will become are interim governor while we are finding are feet. Do not worry you will in time meet the leader, and he will no doubt discuss in more detail how to go about the economic restructure of the government, as well as possible trade's we can discuss when the ports and airports are rebuilt and repaired. Now as a result of this, the men will no longer provide resistance, and in turn let you get on with the recon structure of the new nation."
