Acre Union prepares military for war

Since the last great war, the Ottoman Alliance invaded our Holy Land without paying for such an offense. Now, the Union military prepares itself for revenge.

General Teddy Stewart noted the Acre Union's activities with his spy satelites. Another flareup somewhere. I don't get paid enough, the General thought. His leaders dead, he had, by law, assumed the office of Protector of the Confederacy. Now in total control of the nation, he watched the Acre Union with some degree of interest before returning to internal matters.

"The Ottoman Alliance is deeply disturbed at this threat made by the Acre Union. As such Ottoman Joint Army Forces will now be sent back to the Acre Union, and our base there will be expanded. We warn the acre Union to withdraw its threats or else face the consequences."

Even though we are not part of the Ottoman Alliance, there is a Ottoman Nation in The Imperial Confederacy, Hataria will help Defend any Ottoman Nation attacked by The Acre Union.

OOC: :headbang: AU, just don't, you signed a pact, saying you wouldn't attack them anymore. By attacking them, you give Jewish nations a bad name.
IC:
Unlike in the last AU conflict, this time Sanctaphrax wishes to distance itself from any fighting. We in no way support this fighting, it is stupid, and being fought on stupid grounds, however neither will we support the Imperialistic OA. We remain neutral, but for all we care, you guys can nuke the hell out of each other.

Acre Union's puppet government is only in partial control. Much of the land is controlled by Paramilitaries and ex soldiers that served in the Armed Forces. No one supports the puppet government, the heat is rising. That is what is meant by the "military" wishing for "revenge." Guerilla warfare seems the best option as of now.

Thank you for the 2000 men. The largest militant faction we have is NSD, The New Star of David. Numbering nearly 100,000 men officially. Supporter estimates are quite high. If a full blown guerilla war were to be waged against the Ottoman Alliance, we would have enough resources to last for years, including funds we've received from Jewish nations.
However, we'd like to make it clear to the Ottoman Alliance that they need not prepare for war. This is simply a situation.

Their hatred against the 'Ottoman Alliance clowns' will be their downfall. We have coordinated a very ingenious attack plan to destroy all important military assets in their coastal regions and later to grind away all inland defensive structures such as army bases, airports, harbours, civil centra's... Our prime targets will be their headquarters and to find and kill their leaders

General Teddy Stewart, in a televised message to tell the world what he would do about his dead leaders, decided to say something about the Acre Union and Ottomon Alliance.
OOC: Rest of mesage in another thread. As soon as I finish typing it up, that is.
IC:
The general stood erect in front of the camera, his old, bald head illuminating the room from a reflection from a light. Musta waxed his head, one of the camera crew members thought. Despite a shiny head, the old general was handsome for a sixty-year-old. A black beard--his hair retained its color even as it fell off his head--a warm, welcoming face, and crystal blue eyes made the man look a bit younger than he was. Despite being short and fat, his voice was surprisingly loud and commanding. He lived up to the title of General.
". . .Now I shall take the time to comment on the Acre Union's activities. While I have not been briefed on their past conflicts with the Ottomon Alliance, I am aware they are at it again. We will not stand for it. Whoever strikes first will be held accountable by us. I am ordering a large contingent of strategic bombers and anti-shipping forces to be on the lookout. Whoever shoots first will be in for a nasty shock within tweny-four hours of their attack. That is all I can say on this subject at this moment. I will be watching the situation carefully. Now, about the suspects in last night's dreadful terrorist attack. . ."

Their mission is to identify possible guerilla heads, and infiltrate those organisations. At the right time they will attempt to take out such men or women. Weapons will be shipped through using the Ottoman Jonit Army forces, and left a pre-determined dead-drop.

Once again, Acre Union shows the world the true face of its warmongering self. Your threats mean nothing to us. If you do decide to strike, not only will the Ottoman Alliance come after you, but many other nations in this world will join our crusade against your foolish leadership. Heed this warning. And we will not settle for Acre Union, no. We will go after those who will aid and supply your war machine in the coming conflict, if there is one, that is.

President Anderson is watching the developing situation extremely carefully. Any act of war against Ottoman Alliance forces will be interptreted as an act of war against the United States. As a full and senior member of the Ottoman Alliance we would urge that Acre Union retracts its public statement that sparked this crisis, and that Acre Union regular forces stand down as a sign of good faith.
Whilst there are currently no USIH force in the region, we are prepared to change that if Acre Union does indeed attack the Ottoman Alliance.

Colonel Van Niek stood at attention in front of Emperor Shadaum, giving his full report of events back on Earth.
"Sir, our spies report that several nations a making military preperations for an attack against a frequently warmongering nation. The OA is involved as the main antagonist and only one other nation outside of OA support has chosen to side with Acre Union. Our spies report that we could use this as a base of negotiation for testing our clone troops. Sir." The colonel sucked in breathe after his long winded report.
Shadaum studied him. Then read the report in his hand again. "Intersting, he thought, " I could turn this to my advantage perhaps..."
The Emporer leaned foreward and pressed a button and opened a comm link channel. "Alabar, I want you to mobilize your fleet, and then alert General Dankin that he is to take command of 1st-3rd armies aboard on your ships to command. I will express further later." He closed the channel and leaned back in his leather chair.
"You are dismissed Colonel, thankyou for your information." Van Niek saluted and left the Emperor's study.
Thinking still Shadaum turned to his hologram recorder. He punched in a number to his agents on earth, allowing it to be delivered to the OA.
-I am Emperor Shadaum IV, my spies have been watching the events unfolding with the nation known as Acre Union. I wish to put at your disposal several of my armies for the destruction of Acre Union and his allies. In return I only ask a military alliance between the OA and the Empire of Thrashia, as well as one small military base on the land once known as Acre Union for my own perposes. I hope you will accept my offer, my fleet will arrive within 2 weeks time and then debark in a designated area until time of invasion, should it happen. You will be in contact with one of my officers, General Dankin, he will be in command of my troops. General Dankin is also working in concert with Grand Admiral Alabar, who commands the fleet. Both are at your service. In hopes of victory and an alliance, I bid you good-day.-
The hologram stopped recording and sent the messege. Two hours later a messenger arrived at th OA headquaters with the recored messege on a small hologram display pad.
Within five hours Admiral Alabar in his flag ship Soveriegn along with 2 Super Shadaums and a flotilla of other cruisers set off through space tp Earth.

The Task Force' two carriers, IHSIndomitable and Periocles have begun increased air operations in expectation of having to be called on to protect OA joint army forces in the region.
The Task Force has also been ordered to close to 300 nautical miles from the AU coast line.

---------
In the NSD Command Room, Jakob Belat, the Commander is having a discussion with Shimon Steinmann the SIC.
---------
"Commander, our scouts at the coasts report increasing enemy activity, I believe they are mounting for an invasion. It will be wise to mount our forces for a rally through the capital tomorrow, sir."
"Shimon, we do not need a rally to gather our supporters, you know we have this entire country under our grasp, we just need to cooperate with the other paramilitaries and convince them to take down the government while we send our guerillas to the coast...If somehow we can capture the government armories, we can mobilize the tanks and have better rifles to distribute among the men."
"I'll work out a plan right away sir. It's time the Givati Brigade proves itself. In the meantime, shall I prepare any other Brigades?"
"Yes, merge the Jaffa Brigade with the RAF men we received, if they come any further into our lands, we go ahead with Operation: Damaged Star. Contact the informal regiments in the suburbs to begin booby trapping common places, and sieze all government offices and police stations. Hmm...also, have the Zion Brigade march from the Southern District to the Northern District tomorrow, unarmed. It's time to show the government which side they should be on."
"Hmm..."
Soviet Bloc
01-01-2005, 21:44
The Armed Republic of Soviet Bloc, in a move to support its Ottoman Alliance allies, will pledge any and all forces necessary to assist in Ottoman Alliance joint operations in the region. We will also allow Ottoman Alliance members the use of our airfields, logistical supplies, ports, and other military installations in a future conflict. If any forces are required of us, whether they be land-based, naval, or aerial, we will happily oblige...
In response the possibility of armed conflict and the possibility they may be sent to war, two amphibious assault groups and a single expeditionary fleet were activated. The expeditionary fleet had been apart of the Homeland Defense Fleet (we cycle our fleets to abroad and domestic duties), and therefore stationed in ARSB territorial waters. The First Amphibious Assault Group was stationed in the ARSB as a Reserve Amphibious Fleet and will head to action with the 5th Amphibious Assault Group replacing it, fresh from duites in the Atlantic. The 3rd Amphibious Assault Group, stationed in the USSCR, would be the second group rallied in the event of war. The 11th Expeditionary Fleet maintains two brigades of the 21st Marine Infantry Division while each Amphibious Assault Group maintains a full Marine Division (well, only two brigades at most can be on the water at any given time due to load restrictions).
The First Battle Fleet was also prepared for possible duty, although doubtful. Numerous land-based groups were also prepared including two Airborne Infantry Divisions and an Airborne Armor Division. Logistical aircraft, including electronic warfare, cargo, airborne refuelers, and airborne radar, were also notified of possible duty.
For now the ARSB would wait to see if they were needed in any future conflict.
OOC- A nice, big tag.

IHS Periocles, Flagship of Task Force 22
Vice-Admiral James Roberts walked from the bridge into the CIC of the giant carrier. The air here was cool, pumped in from the air conditioning unit that hummed away quietly in the corner of the large room.
Directly infront of him a large tactical display showed the position of every ship in the task force, plus all known others in a one hundred mile radius from the outer sonar pickets. An identical screen that was positioned at 90degrees to that and two metres back, showed every aircraft within two hundred miles, a feed that was being crosslinked from the carriers AEGIS equipped escorts. In front of the display the ships Commanding Officer, Captain Hawkes, was ordering the commencement of air operations for this morning.
The distant roar of aircraft engines, actually coming from the flight deck barely fifty metres from where he sat although muted almost to nil by the thick soundproofing designed to not distract the CIC crew, announced that a new BARCAP was heading up to relieve those aircraft already on duty.
Roberts looked at the display.
"Captain, order the advance sonar picket to move another five miles infront of the group. Have the two frigates that are joining us take up their position as a secondary sonar line."
"Aye Aye Admiral" replied the Captain as he picked up a phone that sat next to him and spoke the instructions into it. These would be relayed to all vessels so as they knew exactly what was happening.
Running inbetween the two carriers and roughly a miles from each, a Ticonderoga Class Guided Missile Cruiser IHS Mullins was using its powerful SPY-2 radar to track the aircraft that would shortly be returning to the carriers either side of her. This was giving her perfect practice at tracing incoming threats and simulations were run that showed missile launches and the cruisers ability to deal with them. The upgrade to DEFCON-3 meant that there was a threat, however small, that they might have to run those programs for real in the near future.
All of the ships had satellite TV, and when not tuned into playboy it was on CNN or another news channel so they all knew of the developing situation between the OA and AU.

What kind of Democractic Government has foreign forces in it's own land. A Disgrace to the Zionist Vision!

News Report from ANN:
The City is in Havoc today as rebel forces pounded government soldiers in the capitol. Dead policemen and soldiers are laying around all over the Eastern District, where the government buildings appear to have been taken over. It seems that a peaceful demonstration by the rebels began getting violent, and weapons were distributed which sparked firefights around the entire city. It is unclear whether the Federal Government or the Rebels began violence first. The Rebels clearly are well equipped and have taken over armories that existed within the capitol. Stay tuned for more on this later.
4:00 PM @ Acre, the Capitol city.
News Report from ANN:
We are here in the Eastern District where no longer the old Federal government has control. A Paramilitary group calling itself the NSD has assumed power over the nation. Reports are coming in that most military bases have been taken over and many soldiers from the Armed Forces are in fact taking up arms with these rebels. Hospitals are overflowing with wounded men both rebels and Armed Forces. It seems the rebels are indeed taking care of the wounded. Jakob Belat the supposive Commander of the NSD is now giving a speech:
"Shalom my brothers and sisters,
This was an action taken that need not be taken. Government riot police began beating upon our peaceful demonstrators and thus, we were forced to react. At this time, an enemy force is threatening to invade our Holy Land, and destroy what we know as home. As I speak, NSD forces are preparing just in case they do indeed invade! However, we need you to prepare as well. Please keep all emergency supplies at hand and when sirens are sounded, STAY INSIDE! Liberation will come swiftly, even if these invaders do invade."

Galils, Ammunition, RPG's, Grenades, M9 Berettas, TOW's, and Merkava tanks have been distributed to the Jaffa, Zion, Nahal and Givati Brigades.
The Nahal Brigade has been given 300 Merkava tanks and is ordered to begin armor fortification of the city.

New White House Press Room
The reporters quietened down as Secretary of State Tom Vasco took his place at the stand.
With his customary quick look around the room he began his statement.
"Ladies and Gentlemen it is well known that there has been an upsurge of violence in Acre Union in the past twenty four hours and unconfirmed reports have stated that a new regime is in place after toppling the democratic government of the country. We are working with assets in the region as well as friends and allies across the globe to determine what has taken place in the country."
He paused for a cough and a sip of water from a small glass that had been placed infront of him at the very start of the press conference. He continued
"Due to the recent events in the region President Anderson has been watching the situation closely and is currently in conversation with other members of the Ottoman Alliance about the steps that need to be taken to ensure OA security and peace in this region of the world in the foreseeable future."
"It has also come to out attention that several nations not currently involved in the OA have taken upon themselvess to stop the current actions that are unfolding. We would however urge them to take a step back and see if negotiations can be formed to bring a peaceful resolution to the crisis that will satisfy all sides. Of course if negotiations fail or if certain parties decide not to attend then other options will have to be assessed."
"Thank you Ladies and Gentlemen, no questions please"
Even as he stepped down from the podium as he thought it, a barrage of questions was hurled at his retreating form as Uniformed officers of the Secret Service stepped across after him to prevent reporters from following him back through the semi-public area of the building.
Joined by two of his aides as he walked left leaving the questions behind he emerged into the long ornately furnished corridor that led to the West Wing and headed down it towards the Oval Office.
The whole house was about one and a half times the size of its original in Washington, but this ratio had apparently not be transferred to the security personel, who had more than doubled on the size of the other white house as it was known by insiders.
This was in evidence as the Secretary of State headed towards the room. To his left and right stood people in black suits with coiled earpieces, like statues apart from their ever moving heads, as they guarded the most powerful man in the country.
As he approached the direct door into the room one of the agents opened the door for him, with a smile that he knew would be lost he walked into the room followed by the agent.
As only a newly promoted Secretary of State, career diplomat that he was, there would still be an Agent or two in the office whenever he was, just incase he decided to leap across the coffee table and bludgeon the President with his briefcase he supposed.
Fort Alliance Military Base, Acre Union
On a normal day here the sound of helicopters would have been heard over the usual morning drill that the troops here were undergoing, however not today.
On approach to the base the helicopters began descending through the light morning mist as the mission commander recieved permission to land from the control tower.
In the back of the helicopters the advanced elements of two Marine Battalions destined for the Fort were getting there gear ready in the cramped environment of the mixture of BlackHawk and Chinook cargo bays.
As the thirty five helicopters from the two Amphibious Assualt Ships at sea flared above the concrete the men prepared to stand.
In the lead helicopter the commander of one of the battalions watched the activity of the base through the open door, and even before the wheels on his chopper had touched the deck he walked out, Kevlar armour and flak helmet inplace and an M16A3 Assualt Rifle in his hands. Ten of his command group followed him from the Blackhawk and they approached a small group of officers that had assembled to meet them.
Approaching the senior of them he saluted
"Colonel John Ingram, Commander 3rd Battalion, 1st Marine Division. Where do you want us Sir?"

Deep trenches have been dug overnight, as sandbags are hauled in to create massive bunker lines and formations. Artillery, SAW's, and Light Anti-Aircraft weaponry can be seen poking from multiple areas within the still-building fortification. Some Merkava tanks were placed within their own ditches, but had dirt ramps in front.

By now, all dead bodies have been removed and will be given a Jewish burial. Recruitment booths have been set up at the corner of all major streets. The Zion Brigade continues to patrol the streets and distribute weapons.
"The Fortification of the city will be soon, sir."
"Good, contact some construction companies and order them to reinforce the walls or what they must do to increase the safety factor to our soldiers."
"Sir, what if the Government counter attacks with whatever soldiers haven't fled?"
"The only time that would ever happen is if the Ottoman Alliance comes barging in with them. We don't want war at this moment, we must just prepare ourselves. We've removed their puppet government, and let's try and keep it like that. But yes, we must indeed prepare."
"Right."

8:20 AM @ Acre's Eastern District, Jakob Belat delivers a speech.
"Many nations have chosen to go to war with our nation, and it'll only be time until they begin bombing us and what not. We have chosen to liberate YOU. The People. But because the puppet government is no longer in control, the imperialistic Ottoman Alliance has come to take us. And this time if they take us, the will no longer let us live in Freedom. They will sieze the treasury, the synagogues, the government buildings, and take them for their own expense. We will live like slaves. We do not want war, but we must be prepared for what may happen. More and more people have been joining up with us, and we even have outside alllies! Roman Republic and Colchus have decided to help us if under attack! But, it may indeed happen that we fail to repel such a large scale invasion, so I leave you with the following quote.'It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.'"

Official Colchus Government Response
It seems that the first shots have been fired and the CCAF will honor its pledge to defend Acre Union. The 2nd Mechanized Division (http://www.camospecs.com/Images/UnitLogo/LittleRichardsPB.gif) accompanied by the 8th Armada (http://www.camospecs.com/Images/UnitLogo/clanBloodSpirit-Omega.gif) will be deployed shortly to Acre Union. They will fight as Task Force Bulldog.
And so Colchi involvment in this conflict begins.
Anthony Adela
Marshall of the CCAF
CCAF Command Center, Colchus
After pledging support for Acre Union and deploying Task Force Bulldog, CCAF Marshall Anthony Adela and his aid, Robert Ferdinand, the Marshall of the Armies, debated the need for CCAF involvement in Acre Union.
"Listen," said Adela "I know you may not approve of our support for Acre Union but I believe it is the right thing to do. The military of the Acre Union has no chance and we have to save as many lives as possible by intervening."
Ferdinand shook his head.
"If the leaders of the Union wouldn't declare war on the Ottomans they wouldn't be stuck in their current situation." The Marshall of the Armies went on, "I know you and I rarely disagree but I must tell you that I don't like this idea at all."
The Marshall of the CCAF nodded like he understood.
"I know, but we can't have the leaders of the Union send thousands of men to their deaths like that," he continued "I understand your argument but we must do something."
The Marshall of the Armies continued his argument against helping the Acre Union.
"It is their desicision because it is their troops, we cannot choose for them. Besides we are overstretched enough as it is between JunoSprite, Tsarkoye-Selo, and now you want to help Acre Union?"
"I just don't think we can manage, sir."
"Don't worry we will," Adela smiled "the 7th Panzers have proven themselves to adapt very well to their surroundings. They may be at a disadvantage but they will succeed."
"Besides," said Anthony, "we will not be attacking the Ottomans but defending the Acre Union from invasion, we have to protect against civilian deaths. The 7th Panzers have experience in urban terrain, so does Victor Socorro."
"Socorro." Ferdinand muttered at the mention of the 56 year old commander "I have to agree with you there, he has proven himself to be quite the commander. If anyone is right for the job it is him."
Robert Ferdinand continued.
"But we are still overstretched, Agata in JunoSprite, Isandro in Tsarkoye-Selo, and now you want Socorro to lead this operation." The Marshall of the Armies looked troubled, "that's three fronts."
The Marshall of the CCAF laughed.
"I would hardly call JunoSprite and the war in Tsarkoye-Selo 'fronts," he said between laughter "they are small conflicts that will be over soon and will free up more men for the defense of the AU."
Robert smiled too.
"I see your point," he sighed, "over these past years I guess I can trust your desicions, they have been good years for the CCAF. I will have General Victor Soccoro appointed Field Marshall of this Operation Bulldog."
"I am glad that you are seeing things my way," Adela said, "now let's get down to business!"
OOC: Take a look at my military thread here: Colchus Military Thread (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=7435582&posted=1#post7435582) to see what the I'm sending in. If you look in the CCAF section you will see the 7th Panzer Division and what it is comprised of. That's what AU's enemies are facing.
The 2nd Armada is in the CCN section and the Fleets that comprise it will deployed with the 7th Panzer Division.

Johnson Air Force Base, Satellite Intelligence Building
Two KH-11 Satellites had recently passed over the area and their photographs and video relay were being analysed by technicians at their workstations in the sprawling base.
One of them was analysing feed that had been taken over the capital and picked up the phone for the watch commander, today an Air Force Major.
"Sir, we have signs of entrenched infantry and tanks in the suburbs of Acre. Bunkers and other strengthening efforts appear to be going on now as well."
"Ok Sarge. Get a report together and forward those images and videos. Obiviously somebody hasnt told them what high explosives do to entrenchments. They'll learn I spose, watch for any signs of them going deep underground." They all were, but a reminder didnt seem too out of place here.
"Sir." replied the Sergeant as he replaced his phone.
Within fifteen minutes the news of that was being sent to the carrier group commander, and forwarded to the two landing ships and their cargo of marines.
In a Private Telegram to Roman Republic High Command
Greetings,
Because we have both pledged to defend the nation of Acre Union from Ottoman invasion I thought we should co-ordinate. As you know, we are outnumbered in this conflict and if we are to succeed it will take skill and good communication, I think we will succeed don't you?
My Task Force will land in the Acre Union in a few days, (a few RL hours) and I will prepare to defend Union cities. My air and naval resources are limited so I will need good air cover to repel attacks. If the Roman Republic could keep control the air and maintain a strong force on the High Seas we very well could win this war.
Since we are outnumbered, I suggest we go on the defensive. Although my 7th Panzer Division was designed to lead offensives it has enough guns to guard large strips of Acre land. If the need to attack arises I will need assistance on the ground and assurance that you can keep them out of the air.
I'm counting on your support.

On the rooftops of Acre, 75mm caliber AA guns and SAM sites have been placed all throughout. Far out from the city, where the coasts were, militia men have dug deep networks of trenches that contain various sorts of weaponry, including Stingers. Headquarters have been set up in various locations where ground radars have been placed. The smaller, lesser populated towns have been abandoned or hardly have any inhabitants left. They are wired down to boobey traps and roadbombs at every corner.

Jaffa Headquarters, near the coast
Supply trucks have been rolling in and out of the more "junglish" area. Trip wires and mines have been placed miles out, and heavy caliber coastal and machine guns have been emplaced in certain strategic areas. The Jaffa Headquarters is manned with 6,500 men most of them experienced from the previous wars with the Ottoman Alliance, but 2 out of every 10 have just been recruited. It seems time ticks by either much too fast or much too slow over here, for preparations must be made if the Ottoman Alliance chooses to attack.

That's funny, considering you're that invasion force. We're merely preparing. Is that a crime?

OOC: Yeah, I’m valued. Is that good or bad? X(
Well, since no one seems to Rping characters (except AU), so I will also(leave it out).
IC: Already, advanced skaven units had been heading down to the area of Israel; it was annoying, as so many nations lie in the way and had to be crossed, often through multiple borders. Armored divisions belched smoke like the furnaces of hell; infantry jogged along or hitched a ride. Other army groups were being activated mainly slaves and armor. War production, thought to be at the maximum, increased, if only slightly, messages were sent out, seeing if others would like to borrow some armor, as the even the skaven lacked crew and sufficient fuel, ammunition however.
To: Ottoman alliance and allies (I’m to lazy to look them up)
From: The Council of Thirteen
Greetings to you, may this letter find you in a good state. Our country has prodigious amount of tanks and self-propelled artillery. If you would like to borrow some Revenant IIs, Panther 3s, and Crusader Artillery, then we would be happy to supply them. Unfortunately, they would be without crew and fuel.
The skaven had learned from the previous war, generally it resulted in a blitzkrieg, so massive amounts of the new Stingray IIs were also brought. Orders were given, if a city, or area of resistance does not surrender after first offer, shell it until all resistance is destroyed or removed from some other form, if stronghold is to powerful, setup a small garrison to keep the enemy inside, while the rest
Would continue the assault.
OoC: Colchus, AU, you need any help? I got a MT nation that I'm not really using that might work well for this conflict.

Outside Gaza, Acre Union
As ships from Task Force Bulldog began to disembark at Gaza, Field Marshall Victor Socorro began to think of a strategy.
I'm outnumbered too bad to mount any kind of offensive, he thought, If I attacked, the AU and its allies would be seen as the aggressors and might stir up even more trouble.
The Field Marshall had been working at maps for the past few days.
He scanned maps of the Union looking for any solid, defendable position that he could use.
Socorro wasn't sure if his enemies would go for the quick K.O. by taking Jerusalem or if they would invade from the seas.
Victor stared at his map of Acre Union.
Scout planes indicated that the Hatarian force would arrive in the Union by sea, Socorro would have to find the exact place of the attack if he were to repel them.
He gazed at the coastal cities.
Acre, the Gaza Strip, Jafa, Ashdod, Haifa, but which one.
Then a thought came to him.
The Suez, he thought, the Hatarian fleet will travel through the Suez and my naval forces will meet him there.
On Victor Socorro's war map laid pieces with the logos of units, he picked up the piece that signified the 2nd Armada and put it out the mouth of the Suez, there he would attack.
The Shores Off Acre Union
After recieving orders from Field Marshall Socorro to attack the Hatarian fleet off the Suez, Fleet Admiral Carlos Costanza prepared to move onto the offensive.
"Have scout planes sent on," he ordered "we have to know exactly where the Hatarians are if this attack is to succeed."
The Fleet Admiral went on.
"Currently we have the advantage of being at full strength so we need to exploit that advantage while we still can as might now have that luxury in the near future."
Vice Admiral Daniel Cruz asked a question for the Fleet Admiral.
"Are there any land based planes in the area?" He asked.
"We could score a crushing blow if we have support from bombers based in the Union."
Costanza nodded.
"Field Marshall Socorro has already thought of that and is going to contact leaders in the AU if they can spare some aircraft."
"I need to know where the Soviet Bloc and Hitmen fleets are," said Carlos "get some more scouts in the air. So far, all we know is that they are somewhere around Italy, find them."
"Yes sir," said Vice Admiral Cruz.
Ships from the 8th Armada began moving into position for the attack on the incoming Hatarian fleets.

In a Private Telegram to Acre Union High Command
You may know this but I am attacking the Hatarian fleets that are entering the Suez Canal. I believe if we meet them right as they exit we can stop their invasion force and knock off one enemy from the group.
However, my forces can't get it done alone. I need bombers, lots of them. A land based bombing force from the Acre Union can do significant damage to the Hatarians. If you can spare aircraft for the attack, please do so. Meet them at the exit of the Suez Canal from Egypt.
But aircraft aren't the only thing needed.
Soviet Block and Independent Hitmen fleets are moving in and have been spotted somewhere around Italy. As my fleets advance I need someone to guard my rear flank. That is why I need you to deploy ships to watch my back. No need to attack them yet, just find out where those fleets are exactly.
Yours,

The GMB Military's High Command was extremely stagnant, considering the nation was preparing for another possible conflict.
But... for the third time in the country's history, the conflict was with the Zionist Theocracy of Acre Union, one of the least respected nations in the country, if not the entire world. This time, if there will be military conflict, Greenmanbry's strategy was much simpler than in previous times. It was first outlined by the Minister of Defense himself in a recent meeting of the War Cabinet: "Just blow them up.. send everything at them. Our military needs the practice, and these animals will be our soldiers' targets."
And so it was. The GMB Navy prepared itself for immediate mobilization. All it would have to do is cross a small distance before coming within range of Israel, where the gates of hell will be torn apart.

Ships from the 8th Armada began moving into position for the attack on the incoming Hatarian fleets.
The Hatarian Invasion Fleet was already in The Mediterreaian Sea, coming out of The Suez a few hours ago. already Scout planes were Being sent up to look for any enemy Ships, So were the Fighters and Bombers.
One of the Scout Planes, Hogwarts-6, was looking for the enemy Fleet. The Ploits were busy with looking for them, Hideing in the Clouds. "Well, I don't see anything." said the Co-ploit, "I think Colchus is not going to show him self." The Guy in the Back soon saw it...the enemy Fleet! "Guys! enemy Fleet at 4 o' Clock! It looks like the Whole God Damn Colchus Fleet!"
Hogwarts-6 soon Radioed back to the Fleet.

The Hatarian fleet slipped out of the Suez before the 8th Armada could arrive, but the plan still remained the same. Drive them back.
"Ah Hell," Fleet Admiral Carlos Costanza said "we've been spotted, no matter stealth is of no importance in this battle."
The Fleet Admiral kept a sharp eye on his radar. They aren't far away.
Then came the call they had waited for.
"Raven-3, to Admiral Costanza," came over the comm line.
Costanza leaped to his radio.
"This is Admiral Costanza, go on."
"Roger," said the pilot "good news sir, we have spotted the Hatarians leaving the Suez now."
The pilot relayed the co-ordinates to fire control onboard the Anthony Adela.
"Got it," said the Admiral "good work son, aircraft are taking off now."
The comm line broke.
On the two carriers in the 8th Armada, squadrons of aircraft began to take off from their ships and move in on the Hatarian fleet.
They would have the advantage of being in the air first.
Other ships moved into the offensive position. As destroyers prepared their guns and missiles, the battle began with the booms of guns from the Colchi ships.

IHS Periocles Flagship of Task Force 22. Currently sailing parallel to the AU coast at 100 nautical miles out.
Vice-Admiral Roberts looked at the display in the CIC. It showed a large fleet off the AU coast that had recently been picked up by its wake by several orbiting satellites.
A land based P-3 Orion was on its way to snoop around the edge of this formation, not close enough to be threatening, but able to track radar emmisions and get a count on the number of radars that were there in a hope of classifying the warships. That aircraft had lifted off from Baxter Air Force Base in Southern Greece an hour before and was already in secure communication with the Task Force via military communication satellites.
Periocles carried 195 aircraft and Indomitable 120. Although this was a sizeable complement for two carriers it still worried the Admiral about what a co-ordinated land based attack could do if war came. The escorts arrayed around the two flat tops would be able to shoot off over five thousand SAM's if it came to it, plus their point defence systems, but there would inevitably be some leaks.
But he pushed the doubts out of his head, and moved back to the screen. Friendly sources told them of a Hatarian battle group heading north through the Suez, barely two hours sailing time infront of the underway replenishment group that was heading into the Med.
He moved up to the commander of the escorts, Captain Harvard.
"Jim, I want you to move the two subs North along this line in front of the battle group, and then track this force when it passes by. Our satellites and Naval Intelligence predict that they will pass by and then head towards the Suez, whether they are disengaging or mearly repositioning we need to know. Those subs go no further than the Suez though, I need visual confirmation that they pass through it, if they go that far."
" Aye aye Sir."
As he made the appropriate calls he was handed a sheet of paper which he scan read and then passed to the Admiral. While his superior read it the Captain spoke
" Looks like they think this situation is getting worse Sir."
"Sure does Jim, sending Intrepid on a speed run from Southern Italy is going to take two days plus give us half of our strength in the Med."
"Guess so Sir. I better get working on some intergration plans."
"Negative on that. She will sail as a seperate group I think. Keep her further North than we will go and put her subs inbetween us and her. Should effectively shut AU off if it comes to war."
"Aye aye Sir."
He left to make arrangements, as the carrier turned into the wind to start launching aircraft.
Peacekeeper Carrier Battle Group, 350 Miles East of India
"Admiral Sir new orders just come through from CNF"
"Thank you Commander." replied the Admiral taking the piece of paper from him and reading it whilst sitting on his chair on the aft side of the carriers bridge overlooking the flight deck.
Execute Operation REAL, plan Bravo. Proceed with all available speed to phase line Tom, and rendevous with Surface Action group Hawk.
A sigh from the Admiral as he rose from his chair and spoke to the ships Captain.
"Inform all vessels that we make the turn for Bravo Plan, Operation REAL at 1215hrs then proceed at maximum safe speed once the turn is complete"
Safe speed in this case meant a speed with which the non-nuclear powered escort ships could keep up with the two carriers, which if required could reach 44knots.
OOC: Basic Information on those carriers mentioned. Intrepid, Peacekeeper Independence and Indomitable are Isomer Class Carriers origninally purchased from Dark Terror.

As Hitmen fleets began mobilizing they quickly detected by Colchi satellites and scouts.
"Well this could change things entirely," Field Marshall Victor Socorro told his aid Marshall Estavan Fausto.
"Now that we have another large fleet coming at us we might have to adjust our plans," said the Field Marshall.
"How so?" asked Marshall Fausto.
"Well, information about the aircraft carriers in the Hitmen fleet indicate that they can deploy around three hundred aircraft, far more than we can." He continued, while pacing "to stop them from gaining control of the air the Acre Union will have to use superior ground based planes to take them out at sea, before they can reach the Union."
"I concur," said Fausto "a nation of Acre Union's size should be able to deploy a large force of aircraft. Enough to end the threat that Independent Hitmen poses."
Socorro nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, but he must not let those planes take to the air where they can hamper my fleets," he said, "they must be attacked, and attacked now."
In a Private Telegram to Acre Union High Command
Hello again, I'm afraid I have another favor to ask you. I know that you are preparing aircraft now for a strike at Hataria now but we now have another option.
Independent Hitmen poses a far greater threat than that of Hataria, his carriers can launch three hundred planes, I can't hope to meet that number. I understand that your air craft will strike Hataria soon but I suggest you consider dividing your forces.
How many ground based aircraft do you have? I need around a few hundred to quickly end the Battle of the Suez going on with Hataria now. But I think a nation of your size would surely have more to spare.
Consider an attack on Independent Hitmen now. If he is allowed to land his forces we will have a hell of a time eliminating them. But destroy him with superior aircraft now and we will have one less enemy to deal with.
Yours,

IHS Raider Trailing the Colchus Fleet
"XO lets come to periscope depth. Deploy the ESM equipment."
"Aye aye Sir" answerer the XO, giving the necessary orders to the crew.
The submarine tilted upwards and rose slowly until it was at the correct depth.
Captain Jacobs took a quick look at the acetate chart that had positions of all the battlegroups ships that sonar were tracking on it. It was unlikely that the 688I has been detected by the oppostion as they were thought of, their speed run to their current position would have made their sonar extremely hard whilst it made Raiders own job easier. The only thing that the Captain was worried about were other subs, none of which his sonar had picked up as of yet. Intelligence on Colchus fleet make-ups were scetchy and didnt include any estimates of submarine strength or if they regularly accompanied battle groups. Well they wernt hostile, at least not at the moment and so they should be pretty safe as long as no sub drivers out there shot at things without identifying them. Unlikely, but still possible.
Moving forward to the periscope he lifted it and at the same time swept it around in a full 360 degree turn as soon as it broke the surface, checking for other ships that sonar might have missed.
Seeing the back of the enemy battle fleet he raised the ESM, and the party began tracking them as he returned the periscope down.
"Con Sonar, multiple radars on bearings we have for escorts. The two big ones dont seem to be emmitting. Hold it. Shit, everybody just lit up their radars, SAM and SSM by the looks of it. Computer is going crazy."
Another voice interupted the feed, that of the Head Sonarman who also worked with the ESM technicians.
" Sir I'd say that we are looking at some kind of inbound raid. They wouldnt light that many radars up otherwise, not from what we have previously seen."
" Ok Chief thanks. XO, lets stay at this depth and increase speed to 12 knots.
Running at that speed would degrade their trailed out sonar for a small amount of time, but it would allow them to close in slightly to better watch the supposed inbound raid.
Fifteen hundred kilometres above the Suez a KH-11 in midheight-orbit looked down with its cameras rolling, recording all the events below.
one of the Subs Spotted a enemy Carrier, but the bad news was a enemy Battleship was in the way. As luck would have it, two more subs joined the other and soon readied them selfs to Sink the enemy Battleship and Take out the Carrier.

After a fierce bombardment from Colchi ships that remained unanswered destroyers, frigates, and cruisers began reloading for a second strike. Then through the clouds of smoke came Hatarian fighters.
Fleet Admiral Carlos Costanza gave orders to continue the attack. The Hatarian ships had not yet returned fire.
Then the planes appeared on radar.
"Enemy fighters and bombers," Costanza said "have our own aircraft engage and destroy them."
The crew onboard the ship hurried to fufill their Admiral's orders.
As enemy planes neared, they were met by squadrons of F-23 Huron fighters (http://photobucket.com/albums/v219/Rebel182/Andrew223/th_F-23Huron.bmp), the best planes fielded by the Colchi Air Corps. They were fast, stealthy, and bristling with armament.

CCN Anthony Adela, Mediterranean Sea
Colchi fighters couldn't stop the seven fighters that went threw the gaps in the squadrons. The Hatarians used the classic method of flying at sea level and firing missiles to avoid CIWS systems. But the carrier was prepared.
As missiles fired Fleet Admiral Carlos Costanza didn't even have to order for RAM defense systems to be activated.
The Rolling Airframe Missile mount on the side of the Anthony Adela kicked into action and fired its missiles to stop the incoming Harpoon missiles.
The Hatarians must have missed their lessons about modern naval tactics and systems, thought Costanza.
The enemy missiles exploded into a cloud of smoke.
The emergency RAM system then turned to the fighters that fired the missiles. One of the main functions of a RAM system is to knock fighters out of the sky with it's IR tracking missiles.
14 missiles were launched out of the RAM as it locked onto the seven fighters that attacked the Anthony Adela earlier.
Meanwhile, guns were reloaded as the Colchi fleets fired off another barrage from their main guns. But this time guns would not be the only weapons fired.
The Meko 380 Class Destroyer (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=7768733&postcount=43) was equipped with the deadly 10 Aerospatiale MM 40 Exocet launchers, and 4 Colchi Arms Supercaptivating Anti-Ship launchers. (http://www.thepubliccause.net/LoudSONAR/Klub%203M-54E1%20Subsonic%20Anti-Ship%20Missile.jpg) The destroyers began firing their missiles straight into the Hatarian fleets. The Colchi Arms Supercaptivating Anti-Ship missiles hurled into Hatarian ships at speeds of over Mach 10.
The destroyers were joined by the Meko A-250 Class Frigate (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=7768926&postcount=45) which was armed to the teeth with 8 Aerospatiale MM 40 Exocet launchers and 2 Colchi Arms Supercaptivating Anti-Ship launchers. (http://www.thepubliccause.net/LoudSONAR/Klub%203M-54E1%20Subsonic%20Anti-Ship%20Missile.jpg)
Fleet Admiral Costanza believed that a full attack from these two lethal classes of ships would wreak havoc in the Hatarian fleets.
Even if the attack failed to repel the Hatarians they would be eliminated by the Roman Republican bombers that would arrive shortly, thought Costanza.
Yes, it would all be over soon.

A gruff looking officer wearing a dark green uniform glanced up from the computer console he was sitting at, "Lieutenant... What's our position?" He was too lazy to open up a map screen on the computer in front of him and had decided to exercise a little of his authority.
The lieutenant promptly replied, "Sir, we're 124 kilometres south of the Greek outlying islands, heading east at 31 knots." Major General Evgeniy Areventsky nodded, cycling through a total force report on his computer. He read through the operational data of the sixteen ships in the 3rd Amphibious Assault Group. Major General Areventsky was Combined Forces Commander- Mediterranean (CFC-M), and had complete control over all Mediterranean-based ARSB assets, including air, naval, and marine forces. He himself was a Marine, starting off as a regular grunt and working through the ranks until he was a commissioned second lieutenant. After receiving his oak leaf cluster he migrated to the Air Force at the age of 34 and enrolling at the Air Force Academy-Rostov, receiving his flight wings and flying an F-72A fighter-bomber. Soon enough he was awarded the rank of Major General and chosen as CFC-M. He was the perfect man for the job.
He read the data on the screen, all the information provided by the ARSB's DefenseNet, and moved onto satellite reconaissance. He zoomed in on the nation of Acre Union, noting possible defensive sites while marking possible battle plans with a stylus on the touch-screen. As he was considering different outcomes to different styles of attack, an icon appeared over a section of the nation. He promptly selected it and viewed a slide-show of satellite imagery showing a massive defensive build-up in the AU's capital. Hmmm... Getting ready for war, are we? he thought to himself, resting his scruffy bearded chin in his hand... He glanced down, Ugh, I need to shave again... His attention reverted back to the screen... He sighed.
"Lieutenant! Where's the rest of Task Force Tide?" spoke the General, leaning back in his leather executive chair as he surveyed the bridge and the Navy lieutenant in his officer whites. He waited... "Lieutenant!" He snickered as the lieutenant swung around. "Where's the rest of Task Force Tide?"
"Sorry sir. Uhh, I do believe they're directly north of us, passing through the Greek isles." The lieutenent coughed, returning to his duties.
Areventsky nodded, he was slightly concerned that the enemy would pre-emptively strike. Recent intelligence indicated that Colchus fleets had entered the Mediterranean and were most likely going to strike Hatarian and possibly Independent Hitmen assets. Luckily the Colchus vessels were near the Gibraltar straights and thus far, far away from the RNS Magnum, an Admiral Vinogradov-class medium assault carrier and her escort ships. However, he only lay so far from the Acre Union coast line, hopefully joint OA forces in the region would be able to halt any possible aerial attack. The group was protected but couldn't defend against a massive, planned aerial assault. Areventsky was calmed, momentarily, by the fact that OA forces were present nearby and could, in the event of a nasty aerial attack, come to aid in his defense.
Arrayed around him were fifteen other ships, one being the RNS Thunder-Strike, a Torrent-class arsenal ship, the others were a motley crew of amphibous assault ships, a group oiler, and multi-purpose vessels (anti-air/anti-shipping). A destroyer (Zlatoslav-class) and a frigate (423A-class) were in lead, roughly two miles ahead of the force and performing anti-submarine operations, with a pair of HVN-03D anti-submarine helicopter periodically dipping a sonar receiver into the sea. An escorted EC-214A (escorted by two F/A-91As) was far out in front, scanning the skies ahead with its radar and beaming back the information to the group (and to all ARSB assets). Another aircraft, a carrier-launched EC-58A light airborne warning and radar aircraft was circling above the fleet, giving it a much needed general area radar boost.
The 3rd Amphibious Assualt Group had two carriers, the Admiral Vinogradov-class (which also doubled as a command ship), which could house and launch fifty (50) aircraft, and the much smaller Captain Ruslanavich-class light assault carriers, which could field a dozen aircraft (not including helicopters) but maintained a heavy attack system including VLS cells, heavy air defense systems, and even anti-ship systems. It also could house nearly 1500 Marines and their launching craft.
If all went well the two groups would merge within a few hours, and halt within a hundred kilometres of the Acre Union coast line, awaiting further Joint Ottoman Alliance force orders. The task force would wait there, possibly sending reinforcement forces ashore to support and bolster defenses at the OA fort.
OOC:
A few notes-
When the two groups converge, the total force will have 7 carriers (1 medium&1 light per amphibious assault group; and 2 medium&1 light for the expeditionary fleet) with a total air power potential of about 236 aircraft (rough, some carriers may have a slightly different compliment; does not include amphibious assault ships which may carry up to a dozen VTOL aircraft; also does not include helicopters).
Other notes:
The EC-214A is a carrier-borne AWACs-type aircraft, capable of extended range radar as well as light electronic warfare and jamming capabilities. Most electronic warfare is carried out by DP-21Ds. Specifications can be provided if needed.
The EC-58A is a light airborne radar aircraft and doesn't provide the radar 'punch' of the EC-214A but still provides an extended range ability to the amphibious assault group.
Otherwise, if any specifications for any of the vessels and/or aircraft mentioned are needed I'd be happy to oblige.

Field Marshall Victor Socorro had heard that the naval battle in the Suez was going well. But he still wasn't satisfied. War is coming to the Union, but he would have to figure out where his enemy would strike first
After succesfully locating the Hatarian fleet, the Field Marshall believed he would find the Soviet fleet as well.
There's been some movements in the Greek islands, Socorro thought, could the Soviets possibly be moving in from there?
He would send in scout aircraft later.
Victor didn't know much about Soviet Bloc tactics. If they were coming in from the north from Greece they could strike at Acre and try and win a decisive victory early.
Socorro found himself studying an Acre Union map once again. He looked at coastal cities.
If the Soviets are coming from the North, the Field Marshall thought, the cities of Acre and Haifa may be at risk. They were the largest coastal cities in Northern Acre Union and Soviet Bloc Generals might try and take them.
Field Marshall Victor found himself trapped in his command tent, only leaving to take a piss or shower. After days fueled by coffee and cigarettes, Socorro found himself becoming tired.
He would think better on a full night's rest.
But he had one more task to do.
In a Private Telegram to Acre Union High Command
After reviewing possible cities for an amphibious landing from the Soviet Bloc fleets, the cities of Acre and Haifa may be at great risk. I will strengthen Colchi forces there and suggest you do the same.
As for the Hitmen fleet, they haven't made any aggressive movements yet so I haven't planned for an invasion by their forces yet.
Strengthen the garrison in the Gaza Strip, and always be on the alert in the coastal cities.

Suez Battle
The F-16I's came within range, it seemed the Colchi forces had just been hit, as explosions and canon fire could be seen in the distance. Orders were to engage. The Fighters split into seperate Massive Squadrons, some dropping down to near sea level. Most, were engaging the enemy Hatarian fighters. The F-16I's utilized the Python 4 Missle for Air to Air Combat, and the AGM-84H SLAM For Surface to Air. Primary orders were to eleminate all existing Hatarian Aircraft.
Rafah and Khan Younis
Paratroopers were ordered to land in Rafah and Khan Younis, from the Givati Brigade, an area that hasn't been fortified by the Jaffa Brigade. Fortifications there will be light, mostly Paratrooper conducted. Because of new recruits pouring in from all over the major cities of the Union, these Paratroopers weren't too well trained, but the veterans would try and handle them. Most of the city was abandoned because of the news of the possibility of invasion. Complex systems of trenches were built near roadways, sidewalks, behind houses, and near the Industrial zone. Large buildings were manned with large Caliber machine guns, if this Southern Tip area was hit, Artillery Support would come in from the Givati Headquarters, located 100 miles southwest of Acre.
Message to Colchus Command Center
The Nahal Brigade is our designated armor brigade, using Merkava tanks. Nearly half of the tanks are heading to Haifa, because there is a possibility that city will be the spearhead of their invasion. The other half will remain fortified throughout the Union, in case of the need for reserves.

"Admiral Sir, Four One reports visual contact with the surface action group. Estimated Range is 59 miles."
"Thank you Commander" replied Admiral Duncan Lothian as he moved from the bridge to the CIC of his carrier. Slightly smaller than Periocles's but still as potent and important to the running of the battlegroup.
"Whats the status of the air battle north of the Suez Captain?"
"Last satellite pass revealed four ships burning and two more missing completely, must assume those are sunk or theyve moved further away. Intel is checking that up. We've also been told to expect Intel on it from an asset codename Visual."
"That sounds like a Sub to me, gotta say it those guys do have balls, whacking a periscope up in the middle of an air and sea battle and then broadcasting its take. I suppose they've got the burst encrypted transmitters that weve been hearing about fitted on the LA already."
He didnt mention that the carriers had had them for nearly a decade, as had all other important surface ships tracking into one of a network of naval communication satellites that were in geo-sync orbit. They had gotten burst transmitters in Boomers, the missile subs, at the same time as other ships had got them when the threat of nuclear attack had come from the now defunct nation of M-Pire.
Baxter Air Force Base, Twistian controlled Southern Greece
Once the sun had set, and reporters had been chased away from the perimeter fence the doors to the giant conrete and reinforced steel hangas began to open.
Bomb bays already loaded the 12 B-6 Skullz taxied slowly to the end of the runways, and one by one lifted off into the darkness.
An E-3C Sentry AWACS aircraft tracked them for a brief second as they lifted off from the base, and then lost them as the aircraft headed out into the Med. Situations now demanded that a strategic bomber force was on standby to deliver payloads to potential aggressor states, should the potential be removed from their description.
The aircraft each moved to their assigned areas and began orbiting around 200miles from the coast of AU. Even the powerful search radar on an E-2CI Hawkeye 40 miles from the nearest aircraft couldnt detect them.
OOC: Brief round up of the B-6, purchased about a year ago, they combine the B-2's stealth material with engines capable of thrusting them to Mach 3. Based on a real life project the USAF did in the late 70's to put blackbird engines into bombers but funding couldnt be found or something like that. Ill get the stats if the thread still exists.

<Port Blessed, Red Sea>
Admiral Estral watched the Sudan's coast fade away as the DBS Judgement II, his one-kilometer long Calypso class dreadnaught, moved into the center, and up the Red Sea, heading for the confrontation zone in the Suez. With him was half of the Al-Kadisiya fleet, over forty ships in total. He was in charge of Operation Deadwood, the GMB Military's plan to subdue Acre Union in case of military conflict.
Only thirty miles west was Turpitude, one of Greenmanbry's largest air force bases, housing over four hundred military warplanes in hardened bunkers.
<Turpitude DAF HQ>
"General, the scenario in the Suez is so un-disciplined it's ridiculous. It should be easy to take out any aerial enemies and secure air superiority. And besides, our planes can definately reach, and maintain patrols, over the entire Sinai, and even Israel itself if need be."
"Major, I realize that. Admiral Estral wants the enemy navies and aerial forces destroyed. He wants the Dominion's Air Force to pummel them into oblivion even before he gets there, and his trip, if I may remind you, will conclude in but a few hours. The question is not IF we should send a huge bulk of our aircraft to the Sinai, it's WHAT aircraft to send!"
A projector screen flickered as a list of aircraft appeared. The General continued,
"That's what I plan on sending. Now I want this armada in the air pronto. You have the tactical plans discussed with the DoD. You have my authorization to use every form of conventional weapons you have. Now, GET on with it."
"Yes sir." The distressed Major got up and headed out the General's office. "Oh, and Major," the General said as he swung around in his chair and faced his office's windows, "good luck."
"Thank you, sir." The Major saluted and walked off.
Within two hours, fifty Raptors, eighty Assault Hornets, and seventy F/A-91s were in the air, heading to the Sinai. They would fly over the steaming Navy, where they will be joined by other F/A-18s and F-35s, as they screamed towards the Suez Canal.

**Incoming Message**
We have heared your plight and humbly ask if we may assist you against the evil Ottomon Empire. However, should you accept our aid, we will be undable to assist you as our nation is a great distance away from yours. (It is in Eastern/Northern Australia)
Do not be dis-heartened, as our assistance can come sooner then one may think. We would be able to re-task one Emperor Finger defence satalite to aid in the destruction of your enemies.
This satalite launches what one could describe a laser guided pole from space which picks up speed and incredible heat during its decent. Upon impact of a target it causes massive heat and shockwave damage to everything within 30 feet of its impact. If it were to hit solid ground it would continue down a good 100-200 feet before coming to a stop.
We could bring these strikes down where you liked, but we only have 100 poles on this satalite. That means, on average, there will be 30 on target its. This is no super weapon, use it only when to need a specific heavely armored target destroyed as it does not deal massive damage over a wide area.
We hope that you accept our aid, and you can expect the first of our long range bombers to be coming to your assistance within 2-3 days assuming they may use your airfields to land and refuel. You can expect our full advance force to be there in 5 days and our full force there within the week. Sadly this distance it to far for our navy's quick intervention so we can offer no sea support.
Sincerely
The Holy Emperor

One of the RNS Magnum's senior commanding staff, a man of small stature and of the rank of captain, stepped back from a communications console, hailing the Major General. "Sir, Hirgizstanian fleet is coming up behind us, roughly thirty kilometres out. They're requesting a link-up." He stood, awaiting an answer.
Major General Areventsky read the screen, the Hirgizstanian ships were a green-bordered blue triangle with a number inside. A number on the side of the screen matched it, explaining it was "Friendly. Hirgizstan." He glanced up, "Yeah, I know, our bird in the air told me a half hour ago. As for the link-up, tell them sure. That way we have much better air cover and better ship defense." He nodded towards the captain before returning to his 'business' at his computer station.
The captain turned back towards the communications console and spoke into his radio headset, hailing the Hirgizstanian fleet, "This is Soviet Bloc 3rd Amphibious Assault Group, slowing to 15 knots, will await arrival. Over?" At the mention of slowing down, the helmsmen glanced to the captain who gave him a solid nod. The helmsmen turned to face his computerized station, he gripped the throttle level and eased it down, bringing the RNS Magnum to a steady speed of 15 knots. His right hand then moved to the joystick mounted to his right, he adjusted the steering with the aid of the screen in front of him, following an already laid out, computerized path. Due to the Jericho defense system as well as the DefenseNet-networked 3rd Amphibious Assault group, every ship in the group, aside from patrol vessels, were networked together with the RNS Magnum in lead. Every movement she made, the rest of the group made (the system could be easily disabled by the respective commanders of each ship). So as the RNS Magnum slowed down and angled to the North-North-East, so did every other ship in the group.
They were slowing down to allow the Hirgizstanian fleet to catch up, once caught up, Areventsky was hoping they'd either take lead or at least form up around the rather vulnerable 3rd AA group, which would continue to be vulnerable until the 11th Expeditionary Fleet and the 5th Amphibious Assault Fleet arrived from their journey from ARSB ports, they were now only fifty kilometres away, and closing at 30 knots.
Meanwhile, air patrols were still continuous, with airborne radar still above the clouds and long range patrols being carried out by DP-21D Electronic Warfare/Long-Range Interceptor aircraft, flashing a cautious eye towards the horizon. ARSB assets had been forewarned of the danger posed by the Colchus forces, and ARSB Intelligence Services had warned there was a very good chance that an aerial assault launched either via land or by Colchus sea-borne forces could occur at any time, likely wreaking havoc on ARSB naval forces. Luckily, the Hirgizstanian fleet along with the approaching ARSB fleet, could provide air cover if necessary.
Otherwise, preperations were being made aboard the carriers in both ARSB groups, long range UAVs were being prepared to conduct surveillance while a small amount were being prepared for 'orbital' missions (high altitude, circling above the region) and an even smaller amount were being prepared for UCAV duties, lugging as many as four AGM-98A air-to-ground munitions into battle to attack ground targets. Fighter bombers, from the F/A-91A to the F/A-41A STOVL (with VTOL variants on the Marine vessels) were being prepared for combat, housed underneath the decks of the medium carriers. Bombs, missiles, and ammunition were loaded for a possible strike. Marines were being prepared for the possibility that they may step into their air-cushion landing craft, amphibious assault vehicles (SIV-25M), and amphibious support ships (designed to bring supplies, heavier units [tanks], and more Marines into the fray) and land on foreign shores. The possibility was real but it wasn't set in stone, anything could still happen.

Message from NSD Command Center to The Infinite Crucible
We thank you for sending your aid to us. Considering you will be coming from the south, that is the area we need more fortification at, it is weakly guarded at this moment, because all four of our brigades are already well spread out and heavily defending the coast with the Mediterranean, in case of coastal landings. We thank you again. We will never forget your help.

In a Message to Acre Union High Command
Hello again, we have been communicating a lot lately.
Things have perked up in the war. Ratheia and the Infinite Crucible have joined the struggle against Soviet and Ottoman invaders. With their additions the tides of war have shifted in our direction.
But lately Soviet Bloc fleets have drifted in and out of Colchi radar, we need to find them. If an Allied plane can find the fleets I could trace their direction and could find out where they will land. Knowing where the enemy attacks is half the battle and will allows us to strengthen forces in that area. Please send out scout aircraft and help me find those fleets!
The fleets of the Independent Hitmen have not shown any aggressive actions lately and perhaps they can be brought to our side. I am sending a diplomat to discuss future Hitmen involvement in the war.
As Ratheia and the Infinite Crucible join in, it will be crucial for us to stay in communication. I suggest one combined Allied force working together. Our forces must not fight alone, but rather as one unit.
As long as we combine our forces, we will have more than enough to win the war for the Acre Union.
Field Marshall Victor Socorro
Commander of Task Force Bulldog
TO: Colchus
A impressive and truthful message.
Ratheian fighters and bombers have been alerted to the location of the enemy fleet by a MIG-31 that flew over the area and returned their coordinates to Ratheain Air Force Headquarters.
Coordinates of the Fleet have been sent to you, but we request that you send nothing yet. The bombers and aircraft should be able to handle anything in the area.
The bombers alone could cripple a fleet of four thousand aircraft with their combined payload of 200 x 30 Missiles. Six thousand missiles.

Technical Sergeant Yuriy Hekterovinisch hadn't seen a damn thing, all day, as he watched the radar screen in front of him. He had long lost contact with the outside world, the droning of the continuous noises within the E-214, the droning of the engines, everything... Not to mention staring at a screen for over six hours. A mark appeared on the screen, a little smear in the horizon. A second later and it was surrouned by a red, flashing box and a small warning. He glanced at it, at first it blended in, then it began to show itself. He blinked, and focused in... Shit, he thought. A dialogue box came up 'Warning. Unknown aircraft detected.' Fuck he thought again, dropping his head, if it was friendly the DefenseNet would've instantly sent an IFF pulse through the network which would've been relayed back had it been a friendly aircraft. It wasn't. He hit the small button next to his station and an alarm sounded, a red light flashing above his station. His senior officer, a captain, came stumbling over, navigating through the turning chairs and gawking specialists.
"What is it, sergeant?!" he shouted, nearly tripping over someone's leg in the process. He bent over the sergeant and gazed at the screen.
"Sir... Its a single contact, making way for our position... Wait, its now heading away." he said, a puzzled tone to his voice. He eyed the screen, watching the small cursor slowly slide out of range. "A scout perhaps? They got aways in, probably within their fighter's radar range, spotted us, and quickly buzzed the hell out of there."
The captain gave the sergeant a worried glance, "Most likely. Shit, get the General on the phone, tell him we're in danger, enemy scout aircraft sighted on radar about ninety kilometres ahead of the patrol elements. Tell him he better get his shit together, and soon, they'll probably be here within the next few hours."
A nearby lieutenant answered the call, "Aye sir." The lieutenant quickly stormed off to the secure radio, sending a radio and data link transmission to the group commander aboard the RNS Magnum. He picked up the head unit and slipped it over his ears, adjusting the microphone, "Dungeon One, Dungeon One, do you copy?" Major General Areventsky's gruff voice came out loud and clear with an affirmative 'aye'. The lieutenant continued, "This is Wiley Two, I repeat Wiley Two. We have potential bogey ninety klicks at 340 degrees from your position, sir. In and out of radar, most likely scout. Wiley Two recommends that you prepare aerial defenses, potential enemy contact within a few hours." The line was quiet before the Major General dismissed the lieutenant, who quickly set down the headset.
----------------------------------
Major General Areventsky glanced at the cadre of advisors he had assembled, "What's our best bet? We can sink the Torrent down to 50 feet and fire off anti-aircraft munitions. They won't be able to hit it unless they have submarines too, and only aircraft are reported."
A nearby Navy commander looked up, "Yes, that's our best route, we have to get the Torrent to submerge, that way they can't send her up into a ball of flame and she'll be able to launch her surface to air compliment quite easily. Our aircraft are limited, however, we have only 60-70, not including the handfuls of VTOL aircraft scattered on other ships, including the Torrent."
Major General Areventsky was about to speak before his superior (well, on the vessel, otherwise he had overall command) Fleet Admiral Alexei Reventuvisch fired off, "What about the Hirgizstanians?"
The general turned to the fleet admiral, "Well, we can warn them, unless they haven't spotted the scout already. Otherwise they're our best bet at survival, they should have plenty of aircraft."
Alexei shrugged lightly, "We'll have another two hundred aircraft from the Eleventh and the Fifth AAG, they're close enough to where they could deploy fighters. But they'd have to be ready to move."
Areventsky rose up this time, "And remember, half of our aircraft are laden with air to ground munitions... It'll take us hours to just unload them all..." He stopped and thought for a brief second, he quickly turned to a Sergeant standing near the door, "Sergeant, tell Lieutenant Molnikov to strip all aircraft of air to ground munitions, I want them filled with air to air, get them filled up with fuel too... And tell him to hurry the fuck up, his life depends on it." The sergeant nodded, giving him a salute before turning and heading out the door. The general turned back to the table, "Now that that's taken care of, Captain, " he nodded to a man across the table, "Inform the Hirgizstanians of our actions, tell them that whatever is coming our way is likely going their's too." The captain saluted, leaving the room with a brisk walk.
"Alexei, you're a good friend, so I hope you won't mind this... But, get to fucking work, I want that Torrent ready to go and all fleet air defense systems operational, including Jericho." The Fleet Admiral, outranking the Major General by three paygrades but not by position, couldn't help but to smirk, giving the Major General a half-assed and comical salute before leaving the chamber.
"Alright, I think that covers it... Let's move." he said as he scanned the remaining five officers. He turned away before they had time to salute, quickly making way for the RNS Magnum's bridge.
------------------------------------
Already the aircraft were being stripped of their air to ground munitions, being replaced with numerous air to air munitions, ranging from the CFAR XRAAM (of Crookfur design; only on the DP-21A or DP-02C) to the AAM-171A short range, infrared guided missile. The aircraft were being re-armed in record times, the crews were in a frenzy. They would likely be done well before any enemy aircraft arrived to fuck things up.
Across the 3rd AAG, the Jericho aerial threat counter and detection system, although already powered up, was being refined. The single Torrent-class arsenal ship in the fleet, with her 1500 VLS cells, opened her ballast, sinking her to a depth of 50 feet, nearly the maximum depth for launching munitions from the VLS cells (which were fired out by compressed air). Of her 1500 missiles, nearly 400 were surface to air munitions (300 were anti-shipping and the rest [800] were surface to surface), and every one of them was armed, their cells prepared for the potential of firing. Fleet CIWS was being oiled and prepared to go, with surface to air missile magazines being prepped and readied to fire. VLS cells aboard group destroyers and frigates were prepped with many of the cell magazines being loaded with surface to air munitions. Marines were even preparing their man-portable air defense systems including the MSA-15G (variant of the ATM-15B designed for anti-aircraft) for anti-aircraft duties, expecting aircraft to come well within range. The amphibious assault ships were using their off-loading cranes to lift SIV-21D air defense vehicles onto the ships' aircraft decks, their eight-missile launchers aimed for the sky with willing Marines standing by to reload.
Eight more aircraft (four F-79A Molniya II and four F/A-91A Savage) were launched to escort the E-214C as it continued its extended range mission, watching and waiting for the enemy to move within range.
OOC- I hope you're not sending all 3250 MiG 1.44s and 200-odd bombers... Hell, that should nearly be your entire air force. Anyways, I'd say tone down the amount of aircraft, that's way too many to have airborne at one time, and especially having them all going after one target (my fleet) especially with no support (i.e. tanker aircraft, AWACs, electronic warfare).
Otherwise, I've been alerted to your aircraft (due to the MiG-31 scout; i do have airborne radar up so it'd see you).

IHS Periocles
"Admiral Sir, FLASH traffic for you. Just came across from Naval Intel, forwarded from the Soviet Bloc embassy in J City."
"Thanks."
He read through the sheet twice to make sure that he was correct.
"Captain, draw up a plan for supporting allied shipping in the Southern Greek Iles and quickly. We have Soviet Bloc shipping there and their embassy is worried that they are about to be attacked by unknown aireal assets."
"Sir." He began to walk away but turned quickly in his carriers CIC room.
"Sir if this is a co-ordinated attack on OA assets in the area.."
The Vice-Admiral broke in
"Dammit I know." He turned to the Battle Groups Air Commander, known as CAG
"Sir we need to shoot off the fighters and radar birds on plus five. Bring everything else up to plus five from its varying status. Get some tankers up and refuel the birds that are on patrol with the hummer."
"Approved lets get it done.Get the word out.
It fell to the Captain of [i]Periocles to issue the orders as Roberts turned to look at the display.
"Commander sound general quarters, bring the carrier to flank speed to commence launching operations in four minutes"
"Aye Aye Sir"
The alarm began to go off, as the ship and then the rest of the battle group came to general quarters. On the AEGIS equipped ships the powerful radars which had been held in an off position to not give away the fleets location, as they had been recieving the radar picture from the Hummers (E2-C's) orbiting above, came on in the target accuqisition mode and began sweeping the sky and sea for possible threats that the Hawkeye couldn't see.
On the two carriers the aircraft already on the catapults were prepared for launch, as the carrier shook slightly with the sudden increase in speed.
Four minutes later pilots gave the salute and were shot off the front of the carrier. As following aircraft moved onto the catapults.
Periocles launched five F-22S Sea Raptors, with a full internal bay weapon loadout, and an E-2C whilst Indomitable launched five F-14DI Super Tomcats, to join the two E-2CI's and four of each fighter already up and orbiting. Following this each carrier launched two EA-6B Prowlers equipped with buddy store fuel tanks to give the fighters a top up to their tanks.
On IHS Intrepid and every other carrier across the globe much the same thing happened. At her position now due South of central Sicily she had a way to travel before any contact was expected, but she was an IH asset in theatre and therefore a potential target if this was the start of an attack.
For Peacemaker and Independence now entering the Red Sea with the surface action group in tow, the task was more difficult. On their right they could operate in the airspace, belonging to an ally, however to the left a neutral nation had to be respected.
CCAF Command Center, Acre Union
Following the successful Battle of the Suez, Colchi fleets had withdrawn to ports in the Union to make repairs. Meanwhile, the Soviet Bloc fleets had been spotted by a lone Ratheian fighter.
Well done Ratheia, thought Field Marshall Victor Socorro, spotting that fleet may just give me the upper hand.
Socorro knew the Soviets would probably take up defensive positions, he wasn't sure of the quality of their anti aircraft net but he didn't want to try it.
Until the Field Marshall knew exactly the amount of anti aircraft ships his enemy had an air strike would be impossible. He simply couldn't risk any more of his planes.
Later I'll have to contact the Ratheians and Roman Republicans, maybe a joint air-naval strike could get the job done.
The Field Marshall went back to his maps.
OOC: Hataria, I recently recieved a telegram from Ratheia saying that you told him that I insulted Ratheia. I have never even met Ratheia!

IC: The First Invasion Fleet has been Ordered to Retreat to the Red Sea.
Losses from The Battle of Suez
44 Transport Ships Sunk
8 Subs
23 Warships, 3 of them Carriers.
The Second Invasion Fleet is already in the Red Sea.
((Secret IC))
Invasion Force Delta (aka. The Second Invasion Fleet heading for AU), Somewhere in the Red Sea.
Field Marshal Ming Asakura, great grandson of the late Grand General Ryu Asakura, looked at the the Map of Acre Union. Even Though The First Invasion Force was almost Destroyed, it did show that The Mediterranean Sea was to well Pretected by The Colchus Fleet. Show that left the Hatarians to attack from the Red Sea. The Only Place AU ever touches the Red Sea was The City of Elat, Between The Cities of Taba, Egypt and Aqaba, Jordan, and that was were the Invasion force was to attack.
Field Marshal Ming's aides, Commander Ti-Auyizu, Lueitenant Hyu Kimuyz and Admiral Izu Yamato were also Looking at the Map, and Admiral Izu didn't like it. "How does Emperor Barbarossa expect me to send my fleet in to The Gulf of Aqaba and blockade it, when the Gulf itself is to small for our Ships!" the Admiral Yelled.
Field Marshal Ming looked at the Admiral, " Even if it is too Small, Our Destroyer and Cuirsers can get though, so can the Troop Carriers. We will Land at Elat. You are to Blockade the Gulf of Aqaba and make sure no enemy Ships get though."
The Admiral knew that It would work, for the Smaller Ships. In just a few hours, The Invasion would Start and Colchus will be helpless to stop it.

"Admiral, looks like the ARSB forces are happy to see us."
"Yes quite, we're covering their 3rd AA group, they said they would be vulnerable until other ARSB forces arrived. Now onto business: The Radar tells me we've got a sizeable incoming force, we have 48 JSF's between us and the Marines, 48 among 5 Carriers. Get them covered in AA missiles and weaponry, break out the Stingers, tell the Marine AA formations to get on deck once their planes take off, we've got to support the ship-based munitions. Also bring up the Arleigh-Burke AEGIS' and tell them to prepare their weaponry for a major strike, they'll fall like flies but i fear some will get through and do damage. We may get some Air Force support late in the battle, an Air Force Officer had me on the line asking our positions and about the situation, said he had a Bomber force incoming and could lend a hand if needs be. Until then, make sure the men know when the enemy gets close, tell them the truth, this'll be a close one. As usual have the Planes lift off as soon as they enemy gets within range."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
High Above the ocean, 8 hours from the AU, was a large Air Formation led by 2 AL-52 Dragons (Highly Modified B-52H with a pointed nose, 3 point tail fin, and a laser beneath the nose cone that can destroy ground and air targets with pinpoint accuracy). The Formation included 50 B-52H's, 20 F/A-22A Raptors, 4 F/A-18G ('Growler'-does the E/A-6B Prowler's job but can engage ground and air targets to a higher degree.) and 4 AL-52 Dragons at the front and back. Their Mission: To split into two groups and bomb Haifa and Tel Aviv with an Arc-Light strike. (Time to Target: 8 hours 13 minutes.)

Up in space things were coming together nicely. 22 I-10 EMP Satellites (Pat. Commonwealth of Hirgizstan. Large EMP Satellite that can produce a blast of up to 50 Miles in radius but can also be used as a semi-tactical battlefield weapon that can destroy pinpointed targets. Smallest possible blast is 1 Mile in radius and the satellite can produce this up to 30 Times before burning out.) came into their own firing positions. 20 were tasked with a 'Wipeout' strike on the AU, every major city from Haifa down to Gaza was to be hit.
A Space Command Captain sitting in a small concrete Control room, 5 miles under the ground of the Hirgizstanian Colony of Victories gave the 'Go' command and 20 Controllers fired their Satellites on the AU. (OOC: I trust everyone knows how EMP's work and thus is expect any losses to be conditional to its effects.)
Similarly at the same base two Station controllers were tracking a large Air Armada made up mainly of MIG's which was headed toward freindly troops. Each station controller was using a 'Special Duty' console which had a joystick and computer screen from which to make pinpoint strikes on the enemy. An EMP strike on Flying aircraft had only ever been attempted once before, it produced the desired effect but was not nearly as effective as it would be on solid ground. Each Controller fixed their targets at the head of the Armada, hoping the 5 second firing delay would make sure both strikes hit the middle of the formation, although the dispersed layout of the Migs made them harder to hit, but a mile radius blast from each satellite would wipe out enough to give the Navy a damm good chance. Each controller looked at one another, requested a Firing Solution, waited for confirmation and then depressed a small red button on each joystick.

Gulf of Aqaba, 40 miles away from the city of Elat (or Elath)
The Hatarian Invasion Force soon came into the Gulf and soon started the attack. The Ships and Subs started Fireing Cuirse Missiles at the cites of Elat, Be'er Ora and Yotvata. From the Carriers, every Bomber headed for the cites and also to start a bombing raid on The City of Beersheba.
while the Missiles were Launching, the Destroyers and Cuirsers started fireing their Guns at the coast, to destroy any enemy Coastal Defenses near Elat.

OOC: An EMP is not a real nuclear weapon, it doesn't kill any living thing unless a fire breaks out from a circuit board or something untoward like that. For all intensive purposes an EMP is not a nuclear weapon. It is in the sense that it is powered by a nuclear fission and thats what creates the blast, but it has none of the destructive effects of a nuke. Also, i told OA forces to pull back before the strike, its on the OA forums.
Praetonia, where to start...i'll fill in a little for you. Hataria lost some planes in the Suez to RR i think, and he's pulled back and has been readying a second invasion force. Some communist guy call Ratheia launched an incredulous amount of Migs at mine and ARSB's fleets (we think its his whole Air Force given the size of his nation). I just EMP'd most of the AU and Hataria invaded the Southern End.
Since Ratheia hasn't posted yet and his forces were 4 hours out, my bomber force was 8 hours out so i'll post tomorrow after he does for fairness sake.
Ratheia, make sure you post your losses from your Air Armada after my initial EMP strikes on it.

OOC: I don't know if the AU will recognize EMP attacks because many nations ignore it because it is considered FT. Although it may be possible sometime in the near future I don't consider it modern tech.
Also EMP is supposedly very tricky to use. If the 'bomb' is dropped by planes the planes will fall out of the sky. I just don't think I would use EMP. Otherwise, good post.
Hataria, if your telling the truth I will continue to RP with you. Your last post about Field Marshall Ming was very good please make more posts like that.

OOC: I guess we'll just have to wait and see, ARSB used it in a present/modern tech RP, 'War on Sino', it was recognised there. Are you sure it can be dropped from an aeroplane? I believed an EMP had to detonate in the atmosphere for it to actually be and EMP, i thought below the atmos it creates Thermonuclear radiation.

"The situation has just gotten worse. Hatarian forces have commenced bombardments of our Southern cities, Elat is their point of invasion. The nearest organized ground forces are the Givati's, and can be moved within the next 2 hours."
"This is bad. Our Australian allies should be arriving soon from the Red Sea. Combat can commence there. In the meantime, reroute our F-16I's towards the Southern coast and do what they can, how many do we have remaining?"
"Nearly 300, sir. But, besides our Air Force, I suggest we pull back the militia men and paramilitaries from Elat, reorganize with the Givati's and then push the enemy out if they land."
"No, that'll leave them with some miles of foothold on our land! Steinmann, have you lost your mind? If they have a foothold, even a small one, they will hold it for whatever cost!"
"You're right."
"Here's a better idea, transfer the Givati Brigade to Elat, but only paratroop at night. Also, About 3/4 of the Najaf Brigade is at the Northern Coast, so mobilize the remaining armor to the south and conduct coordinated strikes on anything that comes onto the land. Prepare artillery for heavy bombardments. I'll leave that to your commanders."
"Yes sir."
546 counted Militiamen dead from Elat bombardments.

Field Marshal Ming Watched as the Troops begun Landing at Elat, while The Planes started Bombing The city. a Privte came up to Ming and gave him the report. "So, The enemy is sending troops to stop us, well, it is time to show them the true Power of The Hatarian Empire. Order our Planes to start Bombing any enemy troop Convoy heading this way." Yes, sir" said the Pritvte
Soon the Planes were ordered to look for any enemy convoys heading for Elat.
Back with the Fleet, the Destroyers and Curisers Fired their Curise Missiles at the City. while The Troops started Landing, heading into the city.
Luckly, the Hatarians were given the right to dock ships in Taba, Egypt and Aqaba, Jordan, the Nearest Ports to Elat. So geting more troops and Ammuo was no pobmem any more.
OOC: Acre Union, can you Plz post your losses from this attack.
"Red Group, retreat at once."
The incredulous pilot returned a message to High Command.
"Repeat, please?"
"Retreat at once. Emergency situation. Full speed back home."
The aircraft had been messaged this merely half an hour after their first flight. They turned tail and headed back to Ratheia, the entire Mig 1.44 force going home. A situation had arisen in Ratheia due to their political affiliation, and the whole Ratheian fleet was ordered to land.
((I'm out of this conflict. Apologies guys, but after a short conversation with my benefactor we have decided that AU is the agressor in this war and that we must immediately withdraw and allow the OA to take back what is theirs.))

Givati Brigade, Elat
The Givati Brigade, nearly 24,000 paratroopers met up with the militia and paramitiliaries at Elat, which were an estimated 2000 men. Incoming missles from the Hatarian fleet were bothersome, as more and more men were lost. The Industrial area of Elat was very heavily fortified by sandbags and trenches were built to allow troop movement to almost anywhere by trenches.
Rockets and Merkava fire was directed against the oncoming Hatarian soldiers. Large caliber machine guns and SAW's were set at corners and bunkered down areas in case the Hatarian troops get up the beach.
Zion Artillery
Artillery from artillery batallions that belonged to the Zion Brigade (3/4 of the Brigade directly defending the city of Acre) were directed against the Hatarian forces. 4 18-Gun Artillery Batallions were preset in defense of the Southern tip. Interdiction methods were used in the Artillery Barrage. Orders were to commence for the next 12 hours.
126 more soldiers have been lost.

Sounding fairly excited, a lieutenant manning the communications console aboard the RNS Magnum quickly spoke up, "Sir! Reports indicate that the unidentified aircraft are leaving. Satellite imagery was able to see the mass of aircraft and the aircraft seem to have left. Otherwise, Wiley Two would've seen em' by now." He grinned, lifting up a newly printed report using numerous sources including allied radar, E-214C extended range radar, ARSB ground installations in Turkey, and other sources to confirm the reports. By all accounts the ARSB fleet was safe, at least from the force that was coming. Nationality was still unknown so it was anybody's guess on who's aircraft it actually was, as radar can't tell you everything and no one actually saw the aircraft.
Major General Areventsky hopped up from his computer station, snatching the report from the overjoyed lieutenant's hands, he read through the initial summary, "Well, I'll be damned." He shook his head grinning, then his tone grew serious, "But I still want our air defense at the ready, it may have been a ploy, a trick... Or maybe it was genuine, who knows, but we're better off being ready. We're close enough to them that I'm surprised they haven't sent aircraft after us." He glanced at the report, handing the paper to the ship's commander. He turned to a nearby officer, "Vlad, how'd the Hirgizstanian's air strike go?"
The intelligence officer glanced up from an intelligence report on paper, "Uhh... Oh yeah, I got a transmission from them, they fired off EMP through satellites, targetted at AU's major cities. We won't know the damage until we see it on the ground or get some UAVs in there. As for the air strike, they're still en route." The officer nodded as he said this, he had a habit of nodding, it was an unconscious, unvoluntary movement almost. Just as the general was opening his mouth, the intelligence officer knew what he was going to say, "Yes, the 11th and 5th groups will be arriving within the hour. In fact, our E-58A has a camera on them now." The officer grinned while Areventsky wondered how the hell he knew what he was going to say. Soon enough, Areventsky just shrugged, returning to his station.
Upon returning to his station, the general descended into deep thought. Intelligence is key, we have to know what we're up against. He lifted his head, and glanced to a missile control officer across his station, "Ivan, you mind firing off a few of the RAIDs so we can get a few good glimpses at their defense abilities. I want five of them, fired over Hadera and Netanya. I can transfer the target data to you." Areventsky quickly transferred the data over the local area network to Ivan's computer.
"Aye sir, five RAID's comin' up, firing in a few minutes." Ivan went to work on the computer, typing in target coordinates and flight patterns. He armed the three missiles and prepared for firing. The UAVs would be launched from a starboard platform missile launch system. Personnel were evacuated from that area of the ship and within two minutes the five missiles were on their way, travelling at seven hundred miles per hour. Their guidance systems shifted them towards the East South East, angling towards the two cities to be targeted.
The RAID was a Rocket Assisted Intelligence Device, a rocket UAV, designed to fly over a target, snapping pictures, thermal images, and general area schemes before it either crashed or detonated in the sky. The data gathered would be transmitted by satellite to the ARSB battle group (and to all ARSB units on the ARSB DefenseNet). The missiles would snap a number of photographs (enhanced digital); thermal images; and a general area wide screen, panaramic view of the area it was targeted to fly over. The five targets were Netanya, Hadera, Akko (upper region of AU), Ashdod, and the middle between the Netanya and Hadera. The images would allow ARSB tacticians and strategists to evaluate the area as a potential invasion point, studying the short term use of the area, and the long term use of the area in the event the war lasted longer than expected and it was needed to bring in logistical support. The UAVs would also check to see if an amphibous landing was possible or practical.
The missiles took only minutes to arrive at their targets, all three of them spread out evenly and arcing towards Acre Union, their guidance dropped their altitude to about 12,000 feet. Soon enough, they hit dry land, roaring over the coastline. Immediately, the GPS sensors kicked in, firing off the digital camera, thermal imager, and wide-scan video, capturing dozens of images which were transmitted to an orbiting satellite and bounced back to the 3rd Amphibious Assault Group (and 11th EF, 5th AAG). The enhanced digital camera could, in most cases, be able to read a newspaper's headline. Worst case it could still tell the outlines of vehicles, especially tanks, it could also discern between civilian and military positions. The thermal imagers would view the area in a thermal point of view, while the wide-scan video/digital camera would capture a wide area view in order to see areas surrounding the targeted area.
Soon enough, their missions were done as they slowly lost altitude as they moved farther into Acre Union. The first two detonated over the skies of Tulkarm (sp?) in the West Bank. The third, the one that flew over Hadera, kept flying, its explosives failing to detonate, its rockets went dry and it tumbled towards the ground, slamming into a hill near the West Bank city of Janin. It hit rocket-first so if Acre Union forces found it they could probably find the actual camera devices somewhat intact, able to tell where they were produced, etc. The other two (fired at Akko and Ashdod) detonated in the skies a few miles from their targets.
Conventional UAVs were also being prepared, prop-driven mother ships which could deploy smaller UAVs. These UAVs were outfitted with everything from optical sensors to night vision to thermal to radar to millimetric radar. They would see anything and everything, but they were far more expensive and would cost a lot if shot down, therefore, they wouldn't be deployed until the area was deemed safe for aerial vehicles (or if no air defense was present). One UAV could deploy smaller, VTOL (helicopter-like ones) type UAVs which would be used in the urban environment for up-close surveillance, they weren't expensive and could be lost if necessary. Other UAVs were carrying air to ground rockets, both guided and unguided, in the event they had to destroy anything in support of any operations in the region.
OOC- Alright, I'll need your force strengths, layout, what-not for the areas mentioned (where the UAVs flew over). They don't have to be exact, just a general idea. You can shoot at them but I doubt you'd get em', and even if you did, chances are they'd still have completed their mission.

Unless you have Generators shipped in then your Major cities will be completely devoid of anything electrically generated, APC's, Tanks etc would also have been affected, though depending on their armour it could effect them differently.

The Radar Operators face glowed a brilliant neon green as he monitored the screen with an intense look, which quickly gave way to utter surprise and then puzzlement, "Duty Officer report to station 3," he said into his head-mic.
"What is it son?" An Officer appeared behind the operators chair, bending over to glance at the screen.
"It looks like those Migs have broken formation, they seem to have turned around."
"Very well," the Officer looked up at a Radio Console and grabbed the handset that dangled below it, "Admiral, this is the James Anderson (one of the Arleigh Burke's), we've got the MIGS on radar, they appear to be turning back, please advise over?"
"Pete, good work, we see it here too, nevertheless keep up the alert, you can tell your Stinger crews to get off deck if you want but we need to be sure its not a trick, keep up the good work."
"Aye sir."

Above the Naval Fleets the Air Formation began to break up after reaching the Initial Point. 25 B-52's, 10 Raptors, 4 F/A-18G's and 2 AL-52's Dragons began their flight to Haifa and Tel Aviv.
"Command, this is Dragon 1-1 we're nearing the bombing site, over."
"This is Big Bird 1-1, we read you. All stations this is Bomber Lead, escorts move to cover positions, bombing run will commence at my mark over."
The people of Haifa and Tel Aviv never saw the 17500 1000lb Dumb Iron bombs that fell on each city.
The two formations dropped their loads and turned to begin their long haul flight home.

The Ratheian aircraft went home and landed at their air bases. They were stripped of their weapons and as soon as they landed another air group took off into the skies. This air group was the cream of the Ratheian crop. Five hundred Su-37 fighters took off into the skies closely followed by a fleet of another two hundred and fifty T-4MSTR Bombers. The fighters were armed wikth the latest Halladi technology, AA-13 missiles. The bombers were armed with Ratheia's new favorite weapon: The KH-101 Cruise Missile.
At Ratheian High Command...
The table was oblong, and seated around it were men of varying importance. The President sat at the head of the table with a scowl on his face. He sighed and began to speak.
"We made a big mistake gentlemen, and I propose that we fix it. The aircraft are in the air and headed to their targets. Let noone know what they are targeting. This will come as a wonderful surpise to the Soviet Bloc and Higiztanian fleets, if any of them are left alive."
The Marshals nodded in a sort of agreement and the Field Marshal Zharin, he who was in charge of the air attacks stood up.
"My apologies to you all, for I have disgraced myself. I nearly let them use that new-fangled Electromagnetic weapon on our aircraft, but that will not occur again. Of the two-thousand strong MIG-31 fleet in the skies I have diverted one hundred to ASAT. My apologies to you all for my incompetence."
The President smiled, not without warmth.
"You've led us through every other conflict we've been through. Just don't make any more mistakes this time, Zharin."
They all smiled then, and waited as the reports from the pilots came in through the secure link.
((I'm back for a slice of pie for me.))

OOC: Hirgiz, Plz Try Ground attacks, they are better and less likey to get the IGNORE Cannon.
OoC: The metaphorical calvary is here. It's Parlim's puppet, Osilon. Osilon is Greek-themed, so we're based out of Greece, if you couldn't guess.
Neos-Troy
Consul Chrysanthos rubbed his eyes, slipping a painkiller in his mouth and letting it dissolve on his tongue before swallowing it. Now, he thought to himself, Perhaps the bitter taste will detract from my nervousness... This was the first time Osilon had ever gone to war, ever since it threatened it with Parlim those many, many tired years ago.
Letting out another sigh, he stepped through the curtains and onto a high balcony, and greeted the thousands of people assembled below him. Chrysanthos took a moment to watch the ocean, the breeze blowing so sweetly. Finally, he spoke, My friends, everyone has a right to their independence, their freedom. Tyrannical oppressors have already killed millions in pursuit of their own interests. A neighbor of ours, Acre Union, is fighting those tyrannical oppressors, but their fight looked grim. We shall move in and help them, with all of our military force!
As he finished his sentence, a wing of Apostolis Fighter/Bombers (http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/row/bucaneer_p2.jpg), in formation with two Spyros Amphibious Troop Transports (http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/row/a40.jpg) flew overhead. The soldiers below looked up at the aircraft and cheered. Chrysanthos spoke again, So, go, my fighting men! Bring peace! Every single soldier turned on his heel and ran towards the hundred floating troop transports, sitting not too far from the beach. They ran across the piers, and jumped in. Within moments, their engines started, and they rose majestically into the air.
Over Acre Union
The troops jumped from their aircraft, parachutes deploying. They took up defensive positions in numerous positions throughout the Union, while some helped set up artillery gun on the beaches, in an attempt to create a suitable defense against a naval bombardment.
In the major cities, they patrolled the streets, MR-33s (http://world.guns.ru/assault/daewoo_dr300.jpg) in hand. They would do all they could to help the Acre Union.
Move: 4,000 Paratroopers are dropped in the first wave, and begin taking positions in areas of major importance throughout the country. Arty guns are lifted in, to try and establish an anti-naval defense.
The bombers tilted their course rather slightly and they headed towards the AU at full speed. A message was sent to the Higiztanian Fleet.
"We'll be bombing fortified positions across AU with roughly 2,500 Cruise Missiles. We're on your side now, Comrade. Forgive us for the past misconception."
As this mesage was being sent, several of the MIG-31's found a locko-on on AU satellites and let loose their ASAT missiles.

OOC: Hirg,I meant that as in that is MY name in real life. I didnt phrase it very well :P.
IC:
Fort Peaceful, RF Controlled Bulgaria.
The first brigade of 2nd Armoured Division rolled out of the Fort’s main enterance on the back of low loaders for the 50km drive to the nearest naval base, kindly on loan from RF to IH for the duration of their troops station there.
I Corps, of which 2nd Armoured was a division, was on its way back to IH after finishing its tour of duty in RF and Dr_Twist. At least that was the official line that was being fed to the media, who were not covering it with as much gusto as they would normally have done, but naval and air battles north of the Suez to be speculating about instead.
IHS Periocles , 90 miles from the AU coast, near the border with Lebanon.
The battle group had continued further northwards on her last circuit of the waters West of AU than they had previously done, this was due to their increased proximity to the coast, they had moved 10 miles closer, although the carriers were still in virtually the same place the escorts had reconfigured themselves to provide better air defence. This further movement north gave the crews a little more time to relax, and also brought them within range of land based long range fighter cover from Southern Greece to give the aircrews a stand-down for a day.
The increased air cover was continuing though, with a land based E-3 filling in for the E-2C’s.
Intrepid was turning so that she could sail close to the ARSB fleet now heading in open ocean, increasing their anti-air defence and allowing the carrier to perform training operations with their aircraft and ARSB forces, aboard their transports though they were.
A standing patrol of five F-14DI Super Tomcats and two E-2CI’s was now up over the formation at all times as it approached the ARSB group, contact being made here as well as on the state level through their embassy in J City.
IHS Raider, patrolling outside the AU port where the two Colchus carriers had sailed to upon their return for repairs (don’t know name)
Captain was worried. He had received orders to upload target information to the twelve tomahawk cruise missiles that were in the VLS cells in the bow. He was ordered to launch them when if he received the word that war had started, and the two targets were sitting nearly twenty miles away, however the missiles had been programmed to hit the coast further north and make as if heading to Acre, only to go below radar coverage when they were on course and then duck back and head over land to the port, and their two targets the Colchus carriers, six missiles targeted at each.
The sub had gone down to nearly 800 feet when the Colchus armarda had been confirmed by satellite as having docked, and was now crawling along at two knots, a black hole in the water that not even American sonars could pick up. In retrospect her own sonars were working at their optimum, bouncing the waves off three convergence zones to receive the data on some ships that couldn’t be classified yet, that were pinging the entrance to the harbour with their active sonars, warding off any submarines.
They didn’t know much about the quality of the Hatarian submariners who would probably be around, and neither did they know of the quality of sonar and equipment used by the CCAF that now had its fleet parked in this AU port, luckily getting in after the EMP hit it. If they did it again the sub would probably be deep enough to negate the effects, not that it had ever been tested, and they only had the essential systems EMP proofed, life support and fire control.
However the Captain pushed these thoughts out of his head, as he noticed the clock approaching the half hour.
“XO, secure for general quarters, lets head up and see if we have any orders.”
“Aye aye sir.”
Southern Entrance to the Suez Canal
Three destroyers and a half dozen frigates went through first to establish an ASW and AAW perimeter around the exit of the Canal, and the first “capital” ship to pass through was IHS Hawk followed by the guided missile cruiser PortHaven and then her younger sister Sabre.
Sabre and Hawk were the first of the new battleships to enter the IH fleet. With two hundred and twenty VLS cells each, they packed quite a punch, and their 9 massive 20” guns had never yet been fired in anger. Only the massive target ranges at the equally huge Navy Base at Gillen had ever heard the shots, and felt their fury. Unlike the remaining Iowa Class Battleships which had nearly all fired their guns in anger during the Twist civil war or in the conflict to defend Sniper Country before that.
As the first escort emerged into the Med, Peacemaker went into the channel, followed by a neutral container ship and then her sister Independence.
All of the warships was hurrying through the channel, much to the pilots displeasure, doing well above the speed limit, especially the carriers which still conducted flight operations to get their S-3 Viking ASW aircraft operating with the forward escorts and of course keep a fighter escort over the flat tops themselves.
Most of those fighter pilots were experienced in combat, the lead fighter of the squadron providing top cover, belonging to Commander Tom O’Sheer had five flags painted on the side of his cockpit. Two were of the now defunct freedom country, another one of the also defunct Insog Provinces, and then two more of the brief flag that had flown above Twist of the communist rebels. The F-22S had been brand new at the start of those conflicts, but had proven its worth. But the same had been said of the F-14 which had performed brilliantly even compared with its newer counterpart and that was the reason that fully half the fighters in the naval air force, as it was known, were still F-14’s.
Fort Alliance, Acre Union
Colonel had moved his troops to the southern perimeter and had set them up in defensive positions that they had been working on for the past couple of days, to strengthen and to give them something to do.
Ammunition was being off loaded from helicopters and distributed to the men who were storing it in boxes in there newly built bunkers, one man watching whilst the others filled the magazines with rounds.
Headquarters company for the Regiment had set up about half a miles behind them, with Battalion and Company CP’s about half way in between. Mortar Platoons had set up in the area around the Company CP’s and had begun digging in. Not the way marines are supposed to fight, but until their vehicles could be offloaded at the port from the ships then they couldn’t advance.
Claymores and other mines were set up past the perimeter, and a second line was in the process of construction with a third planned for. Fire plans were drawn up and bunkers measured precise ranging from their mortar support, and light artillery that had been lifted in to make support fire all the more effective.
If war didn’t come it would provide a great training environment, firing positions concealed with shrubs, and low grass, whilst also giving good visibility to those manning them with there small arms.

The Hirgizstanian Fleet began to maouvre around the ARSB Fleet, two Sea Shadow 4's emerged from among many ships, barely visible in the dimming light, their four Seawolf escorts were not visible at all.
The HNS Sheridan and the HNS Commodus moved swiftly away from the large Armada before turning and stopping. Inside it was all go:
"This is the Sheridan, we are in position, do you copy Commodus?"
"This is Commodus, we copy, will fire on my command, copy?"
"Copy, co-ords are locked in, give the word, over."
"10...

20 SM-76 (Standard Missile 76 COH Pat. Configured for AEGIS system, delivers a 500lb Shaped Charge to penetrate 10 Inches of concrete before detonation, the Charge ignites a further Napalm compliment which burns for up to 2 hours) shot up out of their launch tubes, in groups of four at a time, creating a massive white cloud and intense flashes of light which lit up the blackened sea for miles. 10 Missiles were targeted at Acre City, 5 at Haifa and 5 at Tel Aviv, the latter groups were to follow up the earlier Arc-Light strikes by the B-52's.
