This is a place for all involved parties to post OOC comments concerning the invasion of Aequatio and possibly The WIck.

I am trying to avoid the clutter that's been collecting in the IC thread, so please, if you have any OOC comments -- name calling, complaints, ideas, etc., put them in here.

Thanks.

OOC:
I would put this in an ooc thread but haven’t seen a link if someone gives it to me I will move it to there so it wont clutter the thread anymore…TY!

Geez maybe we should make each other painfully clear on everything shall we? Of all your comments the one about me emplacing troops first is the most off base comment you've made. In post 48 I stated reasons for believing the raids you said Aequatio was committed against you were stage and said:

Quote:
“This course of action enacted by Reichschancellor Einheit is despicably low and barbaric. The withdrawal of Aequatian forces from that troubled border is proof of their virtue and the continued accusations of the Germanians are proof of theirs."


No where in that post did i take any aggressive action. Then in post 57 you put in two Panzerwehr Korps along the border for Defensive measures only, the same defensive measure you were giving to Aequatio? So i deploy a few companies along important roads by the border and a couple RCT further inland, apparently my hostile act of war?

Ok well your population isn’t that much bigger then mine, at least not to the extent of claiming a horde over my own, i can just about do whatever i want since im over 2 billion its not like i only have 200 million pop. so that doesn’t impress, outnumbered 100 to 1 not even close this war will be showing what i have for a military, my style isnt so much about specific numbers as it is about the story ive noticed the highlights of that in some of ur all rp too hopefully they will intertwine nicely. A few weeks ago i read of the Swis militia and i loved the idea all of my citizens are required by law to own an assault rilfe, and be a qualified marksmen with it and a member of the milita. It will be contested and it will be fun.

As for me being in the army well Im only a PFC in an Abrams i will be a 2LT in two years barring any unforeseen happenings, so that means i dont even pretend to know what im talking about, but i see how hard it is to mobilize one company for deploy men much less 250k, its organized chaos lol I dont have a problem with the numbers individual countries deployed its just that i have problems with grand alliances that deploy troops merely because of some piece of paper, maybe its why i dont like things like the ESUS. BTW i have been in RPs before where support was turned down because it takes away from the quality of the RP.

As for this RP being fun it is that, especially when the war begins, i look forward to it, for my OOC or IC do not take them the wrong way but if i am bitter about getting invaded it is because this is my only claim in Earth II. IC my leader is Pissed off at especially NG nation with good reason, but OOCly the only problem i had was the lack of an RP TG telling me and Aequatio the thread was started. I am busy with University, National Guard, Corps of cadet training, Honor Committee, I have lots of activities and i do check TG daily if not the forums thats why i didn’t respond until i had a tg sent from Layarteb.

This is getting kind of long winded so ill end it please comment on it so we can clear up any stale air or whatever. I don’t want to come off as a jerk as its not my intention.


HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA

oh exucse me i wrote the ooc comments before i read NG's IC post heheheh

that plan of yours is quite evil, ill tell ya it may even be believe though we would be cautious of any deal with you, it will at the least catch us with a lowered alert level id say touche.

I'm just wondering when the damned invasion begins... We've been building up troops for weeks now. Get on with it!

This could get interesting and I do have a long-overdue debt to repay you for, NG.

Wick: Maybe I thought you mobilized forces along the border in response to the escalating situation with Aequatio.

Turns out it was when you made that statement condemning NG and its allies. We took it as a threat that would be turned into military mobilisation.

Also, consider the fact that NS time is really sketchy, and therefore hard to determine whether or not a military action or construction of some huge building, etc. would take such and such time or not.

Colerica: I've forgotten what I did. What debt are you repaying?

Colerica: I've forgotten what I did. What debt are you repaying?

More or less a debt of gratitude. When I first came onto NS, you were the first to speak with me and you sort of took me 'under your wing' for a little while. I learned a great detail simply by reading your posts. I feel obligated to repay such a debt.

Wick: Gotcha.

Well R.L. doesnt exist under acticle 12 is it? I thought that was only if a member was inactive on NS for something around two weeks? I been in contact with RL for some time and his government is active on NS. Well i did see the hawdawg invasion thread but did he get a TG becasue i know i didnt get one for this thread untill about a week into it and six pages of RP....

Or maybe im bitter that my ally is being deated like this...

Ok , I apologize up front for the length of this post but it done to prove a point to a colleague that went off on me in the IC thread. (FYI I am a very detail oriented person so don't screw with me please I am what they call a stickler for details)

First, I would like to state for the record Pyschotika has not posted anything in this thread or the Blat and Stahl thread what-so-ever. His last post was in the Aqueatio thread and for the record it is not my responsiblity to TG everyone with my troop movements my activities are posted in the thread IC in memo form (that means all allies recieve a Carbon Copy of what is sent to the main character listed) for all to see. Second, the forum has a feature that allows for active threads to be highlighted when you pull up your saved threads, I suggest you turn that feature on, I have it set for me and it works quite nicely.


Pyschotikia stated:

OK wait, WHY DOESN'T ANYONE READ MY POSTS IN THE OTHER DAMNED THREADS. Hawdawg, right now I have the Gulf of Finland locked down and I only granted acces to Lay and NG, it'd be nicer if you TG'd me. And why doesn't ANYONE tell me this war is progressing when I ask them to tell me? And what the hell is happening now?? - OOC


I am following orders from North Germania who is steering the action in this conflict.

The Original Battle Plan is as follows if you forgot:

Battle Plan

- Encryption Max -

Code: 57649-G573JT-12-05

Message to: Allies of Germania
Message from: Großfeldmarshal Kahn
Subject: Invasion of The Wick

"I thank you all for your support. However, there are specifics that I must address:

A) I request that Layarteb's Naval Forces in the area block off any attempt by The Wick to launch a strike against Germanian naval vessels in the area. Our submarines and aircraft carriers of course will be assisting.

B) I request that the Pyschotikan Naval Forces outside of Wickish waters carry out similar operations as Layarteb has been requested to do. Our submarines will be assisting you.

C) Cotland, I request that your strong attack forces stay idle in case our forces are overwhelmed in Latvia. In the event that they are, I am requesting that you immediately knock down their attack force.

Apart from this, I request that you keep a strong supply line running to the front lines. The Rachau Supply/Command Post in Utena, Lithuania. It is roughly 60 miles from the border with Latvia, where the main strike force will be launched.

D) The Order of Reptiles, I am requesting that your ground forces move as one with mine, in both Lithuania and Belarus. If any troop relocations need to be made, let them be done now."

Battle Plan:

"Gentlemen, as you all know this fight will not be easy. We are fighting a concentrated enemy force in a concentrated enemy area. Therefore, an immediate Blitzkrieg styled attack would be a suicide motion for our soldiers.

However, I have spoken with our top strategists and have agreed upon a battle plan. While it is to our disadvantage that the enemy is so heavily concentrated, it is also to our advantage that they are.

We will begin the strike will a large GPS-guided missile and artillery barrage, supported by air operations using ultra-stealth bombers and ultra-stealth fighter/bombers.

Germania is taking no risks in taking heavy losses this early in the war. Therefore, we will be using only the most stealthy aircraft in the Lüftwaffe.

I request that if you are taking place in the air bombardment, that you establish a radar signature and radio wave signal with Germanian aircraft. Otherwise, you will be viewed as hostile, as there is no other way to make a distinction.

As well as these two, there will be a large sea bombardment from Germanian battleships, missile ships, and bombardment submarines.

After the bombardment, the Blitzkrieg will then commence.

The primary assault will be launched from Panevezys, Lithuania and will strike straight into the heart of Latvia. The strike will move in-between the two Latvian towns of Jelgava - to the West, and Jekabpils - to the East.

Once we are centered between the two, the Blitzkrieg group will break off into two groups - one headed West towards Jalgava and the other headed East towards Jekabpils.

As soon as these forces have broken off, a strike from Hrodna, Belarus will close off any attempt from the enemy to launch a counterstrike from the Northeast.

60% of the ground forces will be launched from Panevezys, Lithuania and the other 40% will be launched from Hrodna, Belarus.

Pyschotika, I am requesting that you launch your sea invasion at Liepaja, Latvia. This will create three fronts for the enemy to deal with.

To simplify:

Step 1: Bombardment of defenses and troops by land, air, and sea.

Step 2: Blitzkrieg from Panevezys, Lithuania.

Step 3: Break-up of Blitzkrieg to attack and secure the Latvian towns of Jalgava and Jekabpils.

Step 4: Additional ground strike from Hrodna, Belarus.

Step 5: Secure the city of Liepaja, Latvia and open a sea-based supply center.

Step 6: Re-organize forces and capture the capital of Riga. Expect it to be heavily guarded.

This is extremely important, gentlemen, and I suggest that you commit these locations to memory. After the capital of Latvia is taken, we will organize a plan on the invasion of Estonia, which we calculate will be much more heavily defended.

Germanian forces will be using old Saxon tactics - burn and kill anything in your path, take whatever is left that can be used to your advantage.

Keep in mind it's snowing and pretty damn cold, so if any of your soldiers aren't accustomed to this climate, make sure they're clothed properly.

Any questions?"

- Großfeldmarshal Kahn

The second update of the battle plan was as follows:

- Encryption Max -

Code: Undisclosed

Message from: Großfeldmarshal Helmut Göttel Kahn
Message to: Hawdawg; Andrehervia

Begin Transmission:

Commander of Hawdawg Forces, we may ask that you assist Cotland in the Armoured Supply Line to be established. As far as naval vessels are concerned, we may request a joint-strike of a Hawdawgian-Germanian Marine coastal strike into Northern Estonia while the Blitzkrieg attack in Latvia is in progress.

Theoretically, this would incite a major problem for Wickish commanders. They would be facing armies from many fronts.

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

Commander of Andrehervian Forces, you are more than welcome to establish such a command front. Perhaps an attack/supply force would be most beneficial to this process.

Thank you to you both.

- Großfeldmarshal Helmut Göttel Kahn


Now here are the posts you have made Pyschotika concerning your troops positions and naval presence:

OOC:

You do know, given the time you gave us since we invaded, it would only make sence now if there was about 1 Million Soldiers. And I will have you know, everyone has deployed realistic troops. I have contributed 255,000 In Belarus, and the rest are in my Navy. And the only people in it for land is me and North Germania, why? Because once we have acquired the land we want, we will be going into the storys in depth. Well me atleast. And I use all my wars as a part of a story line, especially for a verry key important character. You should really watch what you type if you know basically nothing of our motives. And does this sound wierd, Eastern Asian Empire and a Empire in Europe xD. And please, trying to make us look barbaric in character is not going to suddenly alter everyone on our side to your side. Sorry that your men are outnumbers 100 to 1. I really hope this war will actually be fun. ( So far its been massive waiting )

OOC: Hurray for me setting up a Naval Force next to The WIck ( Check the Belarus thread )

IC:

President Feldinchii had recieved word of Operation: Blut und Stahl and had sent out a notice to his fleet in the Finnish bay. The men hidden among the ships were all assembled on many of the largest transports designed to look like Supply ships ( Note all the fucking supply ships I deployed too? ) With this, the boats set off after the Cruisers, Submarines and Battleships. The Troop Carriers were being covered by Sonar Equipped Frigates, and 2 of the Submarines on both East and West with Harriers and even Transport Hellicopters to be storming away from the Carriers and twards the coast of The WIck as soon as the explosions were confirmed. Within only 10 minutes of the confirmation of the explosions, the men would arrive slamming the beaches along with support fire from every available cannon.

On these troop ships:

80,000 Troops in total.

On these troop Hellis:

20,000 Troops in total.

Supplies already with the Fleet

Napalm and Heavy Ballistical shells from artillery and cannons at the ready.

Ships outfitted with SAMs

To: North Germania
From: Pyschotika

We have commenced our invasion of The WIck from the Finnish Gulf. All Finnish waters have been opened to your ships and any other allies that may need to use them. We were unclear, though, if you were to be invading from the Sea too. Please reply.

OOC Yea last minute edit, forgot about them missles! So it may look screwy at the part when the harriers WERE supposed to take off and such.



I will point your attention to the last quote I highlighted and placed in italics. It is quite clear to me in this post the Gulf of Finland is open to all allies in this conflict by the way this post is written. If not then it needs to say so. While I concur that a TGing you would have been a thoughtful jesture, I thought you were following the action in the thread like the rest of the players are and the invitation to use the Gulf as listed above gave me the go ahead to use that area as I saw fit. I can find no reference in any of your posts that expressly states only N.G. and Layatreb have access to the Gulf. Now it is my turn to rant.


Do not go off on me because I am not aware of what you have done. You haven't posted anything in the Blut and Stahl thread at all. North Germania made it clear in the Aqueatio thread all action involving the WIck invasion should be moved to the Blut and Stahl thread. I don't see anything from you there. You haven't posted here with anything. Second, if you locked down the Gulf of Finland then why the hell didn't you post it in the thread IC? Third, I didn't know everyone had to be TG'ed with movement of troops. I post my messages IC memo style simply meaning the message goes to all allies involved in the conflict, so in theory you are made aware of our movements by the message you recieve via teletype, satellite, snail mail, etc.


Is that complete enough or should I research it some more?
