OOC: This takeover is going to be put on Independents Hitmans carbon copy of HP's claim thread. I have already gone over IH's thread and can see that NOBODY has claimed Tinian.
IC: The 5 Transport ships sat off the coast of Tinian. Their only escort was a single G-Battleship. The big 18.6 inch guns of the Battleship blasted away at the coast with pinpoint accuracy. The Range-Enhanced, Rocket Proppelled, guided shells landed dead on. Sending gysers of sand spraying upwards, the bombardment was rather unecessary. As the military facilities and garrisons were long abandoned. On the other hand it sent terror through the tourists on the island. The bombardments real purpose was to send terror through the hearts of the local populous. The shelling suddenly let up. People poured out towards the harbor hoping to get away to safety. The hovercrafts and MI-24 Gs Attack/Transport hybrid helicopters made their way towards the shore. a full infantry division poured onto the beach and, in less than 6 hours, seized Tinian.
