Earth II: Huahin invades the Cottish Franz Josef Islands

At 0600h, a fleet of amphibious transports arrived off the coast of the northern most Franz Josef Islands. These small insignificant islands belonged to Cotland, but not for much longer. When the transports got to within one mile of the coast, and within range of the coastal defences, a thunder ripped through the air as 40 B-160 (OOC:that's Tu 160's in RL) bombers swooped down low and let loose their free fall bunker buster bombs. Meanwhile, a SO-225 (modified An 225) broadcasted Twisted Firestarter by Prodigy on all TV channels, whilst Enter Sandman was on all local radio waves.

As the Marines landed, they faced heavy opposition from remaining coastal garrisons who were well dug in, and inflicted heavy casualties, however the sheer weight of numbers, and the determination of the Marines eventually overwhelmed them as the Royal Imperial Huahinian Navy claimed its first territory, even if it was only a beach head so far.

The other, much more heavily defended Islands would present a much greater threat. Cotland's armed forces had performed well in previous wars, but that would be no deterrent to the mighty Huahinian forces.

I have several questions.

1) Where does this fleet, these marines, and these planes come from? Where are the airplanes flying from? You have no land from which to launch them.

2) Cotland, do you want me to send some planes, to crush this magically appearing army?

3) Usually, if you want to get started in Earth II, someone will give or sell you land, you could have tried that first.

Eleph, I would normally accept the offer, but let's keep the OOC speak to the Revit. thread. Read my latest post there, and you will understand why.

My nation is easily as big as both of yours put together. For arguments sake I come from a massive floating platform in the Artic Ocean.

This has scape for a good RP. I wouldn't turn down Cotlands offer if I were you Huahin.

p.s: Cotland ... if you want a few more troops to back you up, I would be only too glad to help...
