Map (http://www.southeasteurope.org/documents/Map_BULarge(Bulgaria).jpg)

Not good, but all that I have at this moment as I'm at my friend's house. I hope this turns out to be a good war. I thought attacking GE would bring some real combat to Earth RB.]

Serbian Frontier With Bulgaria
General der Panzertruppen Albrecht von Triest looked at the map laid out in front of him. Flags pinpointed every major Bulgarian city which was targetted as his primary objectives, and each one looked plausible enough. The two largest cities marked on the map were Vidin and Montana, the latter of which lay considerably behind the border and would be his hardest obstacle. Indeed, the majority of Generia's defenses would have to be cracked through before the Macabee army could sweep into center Bulgaria. However, Bulgaria had to be the first to be targetted since it was occupied by possibly the most powerful nation which held land in Eastern Europe, and so an early victory would doom the rest of Europe.

Under his direct command von Triest could rely on three Panzer Divisionen, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd, under the commands of Generalmajors Xavier von Revt, Luca von Jurcht, and Maximilian von Iniertim respectively. All three generals were reknown for the genius which for some reason seemed to spark in Macabee generalship. Altogether the three divisions fielded a total of one thousand five hundred Panzerkampfwaggen XI BredtSverdt MBTs (Main Battle Tanks), a force to be reckoned with. Alternatively, the I Panzerkorp also made use of three Praetorian V SAM (Surface to Air Missile) Brigades, which were equipped with their own field RADAR (RAdio Detection and Ranging) services, forming a ring of defense some one hundred and fifty Praetorian battering strong. In order to throw in another punch the I Panzerkorp also had an array of two artillery brigades under the command of Generaloberst Udo von Koch and Generaloberst Guntram von Fres, giving the I Panzerkorp two hundred and twenty-five KriGud 155mm Self Propelled Artillery Guns. In the way of infantry the I Panzerkorp could throw in three armored infantry batallions, for a total of three thousand infantry and three hundred and seventy-five SOV-06 IFVs (Infantry Fighting Vehicles). It quickly became obvious that the I Panzerkorp could hold its own against a much larger enemy.

The strength of the I Panzerkorp would be able to smash through the border. The logistical center was based at Ziajecar, and thus this base of operations would put Vidin and Montana into range.

von Triest turned his head to face his chief of staff and muttered,"Again, our Empire will go to war. But this time we are waging battle against an enemy who is on par, an enemy with the strength to stop many nations. This will test our strength. But, alas, we cannot lose."

The II Panzerkorp was centered around Pirot, and they were poised to strike deep into Berkovitsa and Breznik. From there a wing of the II Panzerkorp would provide the northern pincer in the historic attack on Sofia, the Bulgarian capital.

The III Panzerkorp would be based on the corner of the frontier with Macedonia, Serbia, and Bulgaria. Primary objectives would be Radomir and Pernik. Then, a pincer would provide the southern flank attack on Sofia, and hopefully cause the collapse of the Generic defense, allowing the Macabee armies to sweep into Bulgaria.

If that wasn't enough the IV Panzerkorp was put on the Macedonian border with Bulgaria. Generalmajor Hugo von Grief of the 11th Panzergrenadier Brigade (Armored/Tank Infantry) was put in command of all three Panzergrenadier Brigades belonging to the IV Panzerkorp, which mean the 10th, 11th and 12th Panzergrenadier Brigades. So, while he had to make sure his own brigade was ready and in place he was also held responsible for the rest of korp's infantry. He called a meeting in his personal humvee, larger than most, but without weapons. It was produced specifically for the general officers, protected by rings of soldiers in their SOV-06s. Present were the commanders of the 10th Panzergrenadier Brigade, Generalmajor Viktor von Franz, and 11th Panzergrenadier Brigade, Generalmajor Alfred von Tientoret.

The strategic reserve, however, was rather empty. The I Infanteriekorp was distributed around the new Macabee Balkan Empire keeping the peace in the recently aquired terrirtories, so that automatically disolved one hundred thousand souls which could have fought on the front. Regardless, however, the II Infanteriekorp would be deployed and ready within the week putting another hundred thousand infantry on the border, giving the Macabees yet more manpower. In reserve the III Infanteriekorp, of the Second Infanteriearmee, was based at Vlasotince, prepared to be transferred to any sector of the front.

No matter, OberKommando des Heers believed there to be at least four weeks before any shooting began, and by that time the Macabees would be more than prepared to punch into Bulgaria.

[OOC: Crappy ass post because I'm at my friend's house.]

[OOC: BTW. this is Earth RB]

((OOC: Looks good, though I only just remembered I had Bulgaria in E-RB. Either way, TAG until I can get an IC post up.))

Command Center, Northern Legions, Generia

Imperator Secundus Maximus, Commander of the Northern Legions, first in line to the throne, Son of the Emperor, paced back and forth in front of the large flat panel screen in front of him. He, along with his rather large command staff, were situated several miles below ground. He'd been awake for the last 24 hours going over intellegence gathered by satelites. The Maccabees were planning something unfriendly towards his Generian allies. He himself was half-Generian, so this was somewhat personal.He had at his disposal two armored Legions, giving him control of roughly 2,000 MBTs and alot of infantry and IFVs to supplement it. It wasn't much, but that, along with the Generian military, would probably be enough to hold off the enemy onslaught. He had his Legions situated deep within country, so they wouldn't make initial contact until after the Maccabee forces had pushed further inland.

In the mean time, it was time for him to pay a visit to his grandfather, who also happened to be Emperor of Generia.

Listen up, you primitives:

The great and powerful Ruthless Imperium of Freudotopia will support the Generic Empire in this conflict in any and all ways possible. So will Mr. Rogers, Micheal Jackson, Kirby, and The Wizard of Oz.

[Doom, I'll have an IC post for you tomorrow, and GE, just for him so I don't overflow you with crap.]

G-Pals Constellation Foxtrot Six, In Orbit
Over the horizon of the Earth, four hundred miles above it, through the eternal, black, expanses of Space, two hundred tiny bullet-shaped interceptors shrieked around in orbit of the Earth at around seventeen thousand miles per hour. The bright blue, orange, red glows produced by the moving objects danced in stark contrast to the white stars behind them.

the two hundred interceptors were "Brilliant Pebbles", some three feet long, and about a foot in diamter, and weighed around one hundred pounds. Inside, advanced microminaiturization techniques packed enormous compouting power into a few tiny silicon chips. The computers, the size of one's fist, drew all its information from a small camera equipped with a wide-angle, fish-eye lens, while rockets filled the rest of the space of the "Pebble."

The two hundred "Brilliant Pebbles" would home in on sattelites known to be under the flag of Doomingsland and using the camera would direct its path using G-PALS sattelites in other constellations. From there each "Brillian Pebble" would break apart releasing five small rockets and would cover the distance between itself and each individual sattelite within sixty-seven seconds.

Each sattelite was targetted, leaving no room for Doomingsland to collect any more intelligence from said source. As soon as the popped into the horizon the rockets would smash into them, obliterating Doomingsland's sattelite system.

The wheel of war was turning...

[Bump]

Unfortunately for the Maccabees, they had forgotten about the Doomingsland Orbital Defense Network. The moment the "Brilliant Pebbles" launches were detected, the entire network sprang to life.

Roughly 120 ABM satelites, which also doubled as hunter-killed satelites, quickly loosed roughly twenty kinetic-kill missiles, all of them targetted at known Maccabee satelites. The missiles would streak across the black void of space, guided by its launcher satelite, and drive through its target. Each individual missile had a different target.

The satelites' point defense lasers immediatly opened up on the "Brilliant Pebbles" as they cracked open and released their rockets. 67 seconds was more than enough time for them to vaporize the rockets.

However, the unarmed recon sats were completely vulnerable, and as a result, all ten spy satelites tasked to the region were lost.

The attack dealt a crippling blow to the intellegence network, destroying over fifty reconaissance satelites, but the defense platforms remained virtualy unscathed.

[Opening Rounds in Space]
The giant phase arrays on the enormous Macabee sattelites which prowled in shifting orbits around the Earth quickly gained readings on the incoming kinetic ernergy rounds moving through the orbit. Emmitting teal-ruby infra-red lights using a Gaussian transmitter fitted onto the arrays, the sattelites were programmed to scan whatever was directly around their orbit. In order to make sure that there was always some sattelites capable of preforming said tasks the Macabee Space Command (SSB) had decided to also put two of the arrays orbiting the moons of the Earth. Regardless of survivability possibilities the sattelite arrays would complete the given task within a matter of seconds.

Those sattelites which were not in the direct path of the kinetic energy rounds, most likely to be tungsten rods, were not in harm's way. At the velocity the tungsten rods had to be fired at they would quickly move out of orbit, travelling in a fairly straight line, meaning they would just continue through the fabric of space, until they hit something, which was of course, the advante "brilliant pebbles" had over kinetic ernergy killers. Those sattelites which were in the way, however, would have to face them, and these were a considerable amount. Nonetheless, Macabee birds were very well protected, as this eventuallity had not been left out by the SSB.

The defense sattelites sorrounding the reconaissance constellations moving around the Earth, and other communication sattelites, as well as military sattelites, opened up their defenses at the incoming tungsten rounds from far away. Immediately, each kinetic energy round heading for the Macabee sattelites was caught and matched with two smaller, more agile, much faster, kinetic killers, namely copper rods. Although brittle, the rods were not meant to completely destroy the incoming sattelite killers. Indeed, their task was to simply push the kinetic energy rounds into another vector, meaning they would completely miss their targets and instead harmlessly move into space. This was another advantage G-pals had over kinetic energy sattelite killers, they were much harder to track, and much harder to kill. It had been quite a miracle that Doomingsland had been able to blow much of the rockets out of the way before they hit.

However, some of the incoming rods did, in fact, hit. At least four sattelites were struck. However, kinetic energy rounds did not have explosives and consequently there was no overarching explosion which destroyed the sattelites. The sattelites hit survived. The idea behind the kinetic energy round against tank and other vehicles was that they were going to hit points of electricity, sparking an explosion, whether electronics, or the ammunitions storage compartment. However, hitting the sattelite simply destroyed some of the equipment, which of course would render it useless for the time being, however, not entirely lost. All of the sattelites hit would be put back into the mainstream within two weeks.

The Macabee confidence that the reply had not done nothing faded away as another miracle for Doomingsland occured. In the skies above the upper atmosphere of the Earth a blinding, white, explosion faded throughout the expanses of the universe, leaving nothing behind except scraps of metal shooting in all directions. A tungsten rod had hit one of the orbital bombardment sattelites [OOC: I never use them, ever, but I thought it would be a nice touch], penetrating into the missile clip compartment and hitting a couple of the atmospheric attack missiles, causing them to brew, and then blow inside the sattelite itself. The consequent explosions tore up the sattelite and obliterated it, without leaving a trace. The casualty alone would cost the Empire billions upon billions of Reichmarks.

30 something G80s into Bulgaria airspace, each carrying some sort of odd component of what appeared to be a huge battleship gun.

The components parachuted 80,000 ft. down to Earth. With the compenents came an instruction manual. The instruction manual cover read: "36 inch NOVA gun, for launching satellites, shells and the occasional circus performer."

Some of the warnings (because MassPwnage has some strict consumer protection laws) included.

* Do not use target chamber laser to perform LASIK
* Do not attempt to cut cheese with the target chamber laser.
* Do not breathe in any vapors that result from the firing of the weapon.
* Do not point the weapon at yourself.
* Do not stare down the barrel of the weapon if you suspect it has malfunctioned.
* Do not use the target chamber laser at a rock concert laser light show.
* Do not remove the target chamber laser so you can make the mother of all Death Star models.
* Do not attempt to harness the weapon as a power source.
* Do not enter the target chamber to check out the cool looking hydrogen pellet.
* Do not attempt to cook dinner on the wall of the target chamber.

[OOC:As our agreement over AIM stated I have decided to 'miss' those G80s. In any case, bump.]

[Bump. Whether I get a response or not, I begin my invasion tomorrow.]

((OOC: Sorry bout that. The damn forums keep logging me in as my friend's nation, even after I log in as myself multiple times. Anyway, as I was saying, I'll have my response up and running within the hour or so, and if not, it won't much matter.))

bump

((OOC: Apologies, but I nearly passed out the other night before finishing my post, and was working on an AP history application essay throughout the day today, so my post is still in the works. Just make your invasion posts, and I'll tack on the preliminary section to my response post.))

[OOC: No worries. However, I post little during the weekdays. I'll try to get one in tomorrow.]

[OOC: This sorta got forgotten about.]

[Respective Territorial Agreement between Generic Empire and the Macabees]
[OOC: This isn't already agree upon, for the information of others. Just trying to gain Bulgaria without further bloodshed, because I need as many troops as I can to get through the Eastern Bloc countries.]

Preamble:
In an attempt to conclude the animosity for Bulgaria between Generic Empire and the Second Empire of the Golden Throne the Emperor Jonach I has put forth this compromise, in which the Emperor hopes to gain something much like the compromise between Risban and the Empire. Generic Empire can accept, or decline, however, it is shaping the history of Eastern Europe in either case.

Article I:
Bulgaria, in its entirety, will be transferred to the occupational control of the Golden Empire. Consequently, the Golden Empire will have ful administration, military and civilian powers over Bulgaria.

Article II:
In return for Article I, Generic Empire shall receive a grand sum of nine trillion United States Legal Tender. This should be enough to pay for both the country, and the logistical costs of redeploying the soldiers inside Bulgaria.

Article III:
Both countries agree to a pact of non-agression. Any further European claims by the Macabees should be fully recognized by Generic Empire, and any further American claims by Generic Empire should be fully recognized by the Golden Empire.

[signed]Jonach I

We await your response.

Official Imperial Statement

The Empire finds the articles laid down by the Macabeean Government to be acceptable, and will begin the process of transferring power as soon as the sum of nine-trillion American dollars is transferred to Imperial accounts. We are pleased that this conflict has been put to bed with benefits to both sides and no bloodshed.

As for the nine trillion US dollars we can pay it without too much impact on our economy within two years [OOC: We can assume fluid time here]. From then on, we will assume the treaty to be in effect.

We too are grateful that this was able to be done without further bloodshed.
