With Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire, Liberia, and Mali, under their belt, the Roach-Busterian government-in-exile realized only one nation on their list remained: the geologically rich, but economically destitute, Sierra Leone, a nation ravaged by civil war, despotism, and chaos. Before they knew it, the country would be theirs, and the RB African Empire would be complete. Once that happened, their next stop would be Southeast Asia...

Battleships surrounded the coast, as helicopters mined the harbors as well as the Sierra Leone-Guinea border. On the Sierra Leone-Liberia border, over four million troops readied themselves to run across. The Sierra Leonens would have nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. RB jets, meanwhile, bombed and strafed power plants, plunging the capital city, Freetown, into total darkness, disarray, and confusion.

Helicopters dropped thousands of cannisters of knock-out gas, tear gas, and other chemicals into the streets, resulting in innumerable people collapsing almost instantaneously, all over the place. RB jets then launched missiles at all Sierra Leonean military, naval, and air force bases in the vicinity, reducing them to rubble. The attack was so well-orchestrated, unpredictable, and unexpected, that the entire country was seized within four hours- and the Sierra Leoneans had not fired a single shot.

(OOC: If this all sounds too easy, don't forget, this is a very tiny, dirt poor, Third World country, after all.)
