OOC: ....Look, if you don't want me here, just tell me. I'll delete my posts. But IC-ly, isn't it odd for you to ignore an offer of $20 billion USD without responding at all?

No, Armand, I'm not ignoring you. I'm just a little busy carving up Saharistan. I told you I'd consider your offer, and I am. I'm not sure whether your money is sufficent compensation for your infiltration of my country. But I'll think about it, and I may change my mind.

Meanwhile, I've got a map of my own up, designating the location of our new port.

Appended: Maybe we ought to contact Space Union and ask him about taking his claim, as he hasn't been here in awhile, and doesn't seem too interested in the rebuilding process. In the interim, we've taken control of his sector of Baghdad, with full assurances that we will relinquish control if asked.

Hey Halberdgardia,

I know it may be a little early to start all this, but the Republic is starting to build a massive highway system across our part of the country. Do you want to split the project and then interlink it?

A Saharistani autobahn...I like it. It's a done deal, McKagan. We'll start from Baghdad and work our way out to your borders.

And then we'll go from there up through the northern part of the country to your naval base, not going out on the "beak", we'll continue on down the coast to our naval base and that other little formation. Then we'll circle back around to Baghdad. We can also make another highway from like, midway down my coast back toward your border, just to releave any forseable traffic problems.

Sounds good. I'd say we give this, oh, say, 5 to 10 NS years to completion. But once we're done, we'll have fast and reliable land routes to our respective countries. Two things to keep in mind, though:


We probably ought to leave room for expansion to other countries besides our two, in case any of the other coalition powers want in on this.
We also should plan on making substantial "military-vehicles-only" lanes and/or routes, so that we don't have to spend crucial time clearing the autobahn of civilian traffic in case of an emergency where the miltary needs to "appropriate" the autobahn for swift transportation.

If you want, you can cut through Tannenmille with this autobahn, but only if we can build on-ramps and off-ramps. :p

And I agree with Halberdgardia's proposal for a military-autobahn.

It wouldn't be too hard to just build another road down into other countries.

Instead of building a lane that might never be used, I say we just have special "run off areas" incase of any emergency. If something happens the civilian cars can just go into.

Another lane though, just one, may be a good idea...

Perhaps a three-"lane" autobahn? Four lanes per "lane", except in the centre lane. The centre lane would be for emergency stuff (Police, ambulance, fire, if faster that way, and military) and would have crossover points into the other two at specific intervals, like the Channel Tunnel.

That sounds good, too.

How are we gonna patrol/secure it? I can have someone write up a contract for Combatant Operations for my part of the country. Do ya'll want to do the patroling in your countries, or do you want me to have them do the whole thing?

The RMV Stryker has just pulled into the northern port city for some shore leave. Captain Larson is present, and has walked off the ship into a storm of media. His crew already have cars rented out, and after already hearing a breif from the XO, they begin to move throughout the country seeing some of the damage they done. During the war.

No, Armand, I'm not ignoring you.
OOC: I understand, it's just I made an offer to ALL coalition nations a post back, and none of them have said anything.

What the hell ? Why is there a Halberdgardia city in the middle of Mckagen territory ? I like the autobahn idea.

Oh! I didn't realize that your offer was to all coalition members, or I would have said something.

That said, although your offer is generous, we choose to decline as not to have to go through all the red tape your offer entails.

To defened thea autobahn, we should have an outpost every 50 miles or so, protected by armed guard of 2,000 armed with Ak-47's and Colt 45's

What the hell ? Why is there a Halberdgardia city in the middle of Mckagen territory ? I like the autobahn idea.

As we are the only nation without coastline territory, McKagan graciously granted us control of a seaport inside their territory for use by our naval forces.

oh, will Halberdgardia allow our planes to land on his territory? i have sent humanitarian aid to Saharistan, and they would be arriving in a few hours.

I don't think we need to fortify this road as much as Willink suggested.

I've already got between 250 and 350 Combatant Operations Security Personnel on planes coming over here. They can secure alot of it, and I can fly in more if ya'll want to just have one ground secure the whole thing.

Combatant Operations has made alot of money in this theatre, once again getting a huge contract.

I like the new map but wheres my piece of Baghdad?

Directly north of mine.

Do you want in on the highway system?

Directly north of mine.

Do you want in on the highway system?

Sure.

Tannenmille said that we could build through his little area if we wanted.

So you can head up towards the Baghdad intercept route and on north to the other road if ya want.

Also, do you want to handle securing it in your stake yourself, or do you want to offer a contract to the security firm I have securing mine?

I allready have a highway running down the coast of my territory, since almost 85% of the people in my territory live there(40% in port stanley) I could connect the coastal highway with the autobahn just north of space union.

That'll work, is anyone going to let ComOp's secure it inside their nation?

The first Raptor Class Tactical Cruiser has now been launched and is headed to Stryker's position in our port.

This will be the most advanced ship in this region, with 20-16 inch guns alot with various other gun stations aboard.

The full armament is listed below, minus the secret missile armament.


20 16-inch/50 caliber Gun
28 50 caliber machine guns for port security
80 40mm Anti-Aircraft launchers
60 20mm Anti-Aircraft launchers
6 Anti-Officer Sniper Stations
3 Ship-to-Deck Stations (designed to fire at machine guns on the deck of other ships)

The ship was originallly supposed to be a carrier with a few more guns, that was scrapped in favor of a ship that could sneak to the shoreline of an enemy country and bombared any airfields with enough naval gunfire to destroy many planes that could attack.

I like the new map but wheres my piece of Baghdad?

If you'll look back a few pages, I said that since you hadn't really been involved in the reconstruction much, that I'd take your chunk of Baghdad pending a division of your overall Saharistan territory, if you decided you didn't want it. I can easily restore your jurisdiction to that section of Baghdad again if you wish.

So, what does that mean in terms of aircraft complement? Not as many as a carrier, but still sizable? Minimal?

So, what does that mean in terms of aircraft complement? Not as many as a carrier, but still sizable? Minimal?

It doesn't have any fighters, but it still has a fairly large flight deck and hangers (aranged LIKE a carrier) for helicopters.

I'd say it can hold about 18 Blackhawks, if that helps.

OOC: Sorta reminds me of a Civil War vessel but that is unimportant.

The new Dreadnaught has been classified as an Arbalest-class Dreadnaught, and the contract has been given to Sceptre Tactical Solutions Inc. the company that manufactures our infantry weapons. This is their first naval contract and they have submitted an experimental missile Dreadnaught design (Think Red Alert 2), which has been approved by the Senate. Thank God we purchased production rights for the Katana Supersonic Cruise missile.

We'll allow a highway through our section only if we are allowed to build service roads along the sides and set up a small airfield about halfway through.

We've completed our city, and about 4,000 refugees have taken residence. I am proud to announce the birth of Wade Ali the first healthy child born in occupied Saharistan in our newly built hospital.

We are reworking a highly ineffcient oil field and are setting up Thermal Depolymerization machines nearby to process crude oil and turn pretty much any carbon-based object into light oils such as Kerosene, diesel or gasoline. (Not FT it is actually MT and a Thermal Deploymerization machine is being built next to the Butterball Turkey factory to process Turkey offal into light oils. It may end pollution on Earth!)

Does your Dreadnaught carry a fighter complement?

Does your Dreadnaught carry a fighter complement?

An anti-submarine helicoptor bay has been designed capable of holding at least 3 helicoptors, other proposals have been considered, however we feel that light escort carriers will be able to handle fighter threats along with a full compliment of anti-aircraft guns.

Our ship was designed originally to be a carrier, but we dropped that.

The prototype still had the massive hanger deck along with a flight deck, so we cut the runway down to the end of the ship, but kept the hanger deck.

What resulted was the ability for us to hold up to 18 helicopters.

From: Kenix Kil, Secretary of State, The Democratic Republic of Halberdgardia
Re: Space Program

The Democratic Republic of Halberdgardia is pleased to announce the organization of the Halberdgardian Space Agency, under the leadership of Administrator Airen Cracken. For those of you who recognize the name Cracken, it is because Airen's son, Pash, is the captain of the Halberdgardian destroyer D.R.H. Valiant, and will soon be leaving the Valiant for the as-yet-unnamed Raptor-class naval vessel we have purchased from McKagan. However, back to our space program. The HSA will be a government-funded program, but we will also be obtaining funding from the private sector in order to take some of the burden off our taxpayers. HSA Adminstrator Cracken has some bold ideas already for our space program, and it is for this reason that he invites the nations of Leafanistan, McKagan, and Tannenmille to contact us (OOC: preferably on this thread) should they be interested in assisting in the development of or funding the revolutionary concepts he will be implementing as soon as the HSA is officially founded. Adminstrator Cracken will telegram you the details if you are interested.

Respectfully,
Kenix Kil
Secretary of State
The Democratic Republic of Halberdgardia

We have shuttles, but nowhere to go.

Does anyone want to build a spacestation?

We have shuttles, but nowhere to go.

Does anyone want to build a spacestation?

One of Adminstrator Cracken's ideas is similar to that, only much more useful. He will telegram you the details later today.

In other news,

The Republic has finished the overhaul on our massive military transportation network.

This means we can have tanks, bombers, and APC's anywhere in the world in alot shorter time than before.

We've also finished the urban combat specialty version on our Downs Class APC.

Re: Space Program

Our space program is currently strapped for funds, but once our solar mining gets underway, we will be able to sell excess hydrogen and helium. Would either of these interest your space program or your people?

So your ship is basicly a massive Kiev (http://www.naval-technology.com/projects/ka/images/img7.jpg) class attack carrier with a larger flightdeck and tons of guns ?

(pic of kiev front (http://www.ibg.com.pl/images/Tru05704.jpg))

I am also building a South dakota battleship with a nuclear turbine, and removing one of the forward 16 inch guns to put in a huge ass amount of VLS launchers(almost 100). I am replacing all the 5 inch guns with SAM's and putting exocet and tomahawk missiles on it, along with an ageis system for about 5 billion

Pics

VLS launcher (http://navysite.de/launcher/Image293_t.jpg)

The back of sthe ship will also be rebuilt, lengthing the ship and removing the aft 16 inch gun, to put in a 200 foot flightdeck, that will host 25 Yak-141 freestyle Vstol fighters and 12 of my costom made MiG-29AP Naval fighters(They WOOP ass) It can also hold 15 Helicopters instead of MiGs

THis will complete a major surface battlegroup consisting of The WNF-Takedown, 4 DD-21 destroyers (http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ship/images/dd-21-view6.jpg)
And 2 CG-X crusiers(pic comparing size between DD-21 and CG-X)

INFO on CG-X
The CG(X) cruiser will replace the Ticonderoga class AEGIS cruisers. The
CG(X) will provide an “umbrella” of air and missile defense with longer-range missiles, protecting carrier strike groups and the other DD(X) vessels. It will also be able to track and engage ballistic missiles hundreds of miles inland


DD-x destroyer info-
The DD(X) destroyer is at the heart of the DD(X) program. When put into service (it is currently in the construction phase), it will replace the Oliver Hazard Perry class frigates and Spruance class destroyers.
DD(X) will provide land attack support for ground forces as well as perform anti-air, anti-surface and undersea warfare.

The group will also contain 10 LCS ships-The littoral combat ship (LCS) is an entirely new Navy warship that will complement the DD(X) and CG(X) ships in the DD(X) family. While still in the planning phase (production is scheduled for fiscal year 2005), the LCS will be fast and agile.

Because of its smaller. more maneuverable size, the ship will operate primarily in littoral regions (shallow coastal waters). It will be capable of landing Special Operations Forces; Maritime Interdiction Operations groups; Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance teams; and Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection units where they are needed.

Another improtant note, due to a massive raise in naval spending, we are proud to announce the construction of our 1st class of nuclear carriers. 6 will be built, all of the CVN-21 class(pic) (http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ship/images/cvn-79.jpg)

They will have a tactical airwing of 50 MiG-29AP naval fighters, 20 SU-33 fighters, 4 Awacs planes, and 16 SH-60 Seahawks.

Our space program is currently strapped for funds, but once our solar mining gets underway, we will be able to sell excess hydrogen and helium. Would either of these interest your space program or your people?

Possibly, as we could use a cheap source of fuel for our spacecraft. We are happy to announce that we have successfully launched our first rocket into space, and are preparing to get underway by purchasing more spacecraft from other nations. We do, however, have details on a revolutionary project that you may wish to contribute to. However, it will be an extremely expensive project, spanning many years, so you may wish to wait until you can allocate more funds.

In other news, we are happy to announce the christening of our first Raptor-class battleship (purchased from the Republic of McKagan), the D.R.H. Iron Fist, at the port city of Coronet. It will be commanded by former Valiant commander Captain Pash Cracken. His XO, Lieutenant John Stewart, has been promoted to Captain, and will be taking over his former commander's place on the Valiant as her skipper.

More news in the war on terror: The HCIA has finally located and frozen the bank accounts that former Saharistani dictator Musab al Zaraqwi used to transfer approximately $2.7 billion USD out of Saharistan shortly before he fled the country. We are in the process of seizing these funds, and they will likely go either to the reconstruction effort, or be split between the autobahn and our defense budget.

What is this space project you are talking about ? i can contribute to it.

What is this space project you are talking about ? i can contribute to it.

We will telegram you the details at a later time. However, we wish to warn you: this project will be extremely expensive, and will likely span several years, so you probably will not be able to foot the entire bill by yourself. But any contribution you could make would be welcome.

OOC: Great page for info on the real Autobahn: http://home.att.net/~texhwyman/autobahn.htm

RECENT NEWS- A Greenpeace ship off port stanley tried to intercept a Willink tanker transporting Ammunition up to McKagen territory, An Helicopter was called and sank the ship with rockets, killing all on board. Greenpeace has responded by boycotting all Willink goods, and is threating to block of The port.

Who in the hell is Greenpeace?

Anyhow, i'm sending in the RMV Contraband (our only sub in this theatre) to keep things clear.

That's what we use this class of sub for, convoy escort and blockade busting.

Administrator Cracken has sent telegrams regarding the HSA's latest concept to the nations of Leafanistan, McKagan, Tannenmille, and Willink. Those four nations are asked to check their inboxes.

In other news, we are deploying the Seawolf-class submarine D.R.H. Eviscerator to the theater to investigate reports of recent attacks on Willink vessels. Also in the theater is our Raptor-class battleship, D.R.H. Iron Fist.

One of our cargo ships just came under fire by some missiles from what we suspect is the same ship that attacked Willink's ship.

Aboard the RMV Bradley

Captain Gillenwater sat at her command chair as the missiles impacted the water beside her ship.

They had been under a continuous missile attack for the last hour, and even though they'd fired back, fire was still coming in.

Just then, a submarine broke the surface, and off in the horizon a MASSIVE fireball shot up. Over the radio, the following message was recieved from the RMS Contraband.

Yeeeeehaw! We got ourselves another war! *sound of clip going into what was probably a beretta* Listen up there Captain, i've got myself a plan. I'll relay it to you and you can send it to the people from Halberdgardia.

The sub sank back into the water, as another fireball shot up from the ship it had just blown up.

The plan was simple. The Bradley had some of the most advanced decoy systems in the theatre. They were to go around creating targets for the enemy ships, and then the Contraband (and anyone else with a shot) would destroy them from below.

It appears the ships are not of Greenpeace, As The Clapton rammed and sunk what appears to be a small Minelayer of unkown origins just outside the harbor, My navy has been place on full alert, and has permission to sink any unkown vessels outside the harbor.

Just make your ships look like nice big targets... we know for a fact that there are more ships, but somehow they're able to hide.

Just don't get hit after they shoot at you, and the Contraband (and her war loving captain) will send that ship to the bottom fairly quick.

Hi people,

I thought of something. What if we allow the people from this nation to join OUR military? I've began a program to set up an academy in my part of the nation to do extreme background checks, but I believe it should raise the % of people in my military to 2.5%

Does that sound ok to everyone?

Personnaly, i dont really care. Go right ahead.

No, I meant... it could be an advantage for everyone here...

I added .5% to the number of people in the military... and I dropped it from the 5% I used throughout this conflict (hey, it was a draft, we needed a few more bodies)

Leafanistan is beginning to train a small protection force armed with FN FNC rifles with the 5.56 NATO rounds. So far we have 3000 men in our academy who are being trained by instructors.

We've declared martial law in our region with an 8 PM - 4 AM curfew due to rocket attacks on Terramax automated 5-ton trucks. Anyone caught outside the curfew will be kept in jail for the remainder of the curfew. That is all.

Captain John Alleluia
Acting Commander of Leafanistani Occupation Forces

7:15 AM 20 North of port stanley

Saharistani security forces seized a shipment of weapons along the coast today, present were RPGs light arms, morters, and several Portable SAMs. The ship suffered light damadge, as milita on the ship began to fire on patrol boats.

A very serious event occured just hours ago. A civilan convoy transporting a small nuclear reactor to Mckagen Territory was ambushed and captured by some 800 insergents, and they killed most of the civilians and took off with the reactor and 5 hostages to the center of baghdad. Willink is mobilising a task force immedetly to retake the reactor and rescue the hostages.

I am proposing this for my forces- 2 convoys with 3 APCs each, 2 BTM-3s, the total of those convoys totaling 50 special forces operatives. An AC-130 specter will be launched fo fire support, and 8 transport helicopters loaded with 5 men each will attack the buidling were the hostages are located- Here is a pic of the building held by the terrorists (http://www.kestan.com/dcstock/dupontcircle/new/2372%20Phillipine%20embassy.jpg). I am requesting help in hostage rescue operation.The reactor may be in the area, but i doubt it.

200 of our CovertOps men will aid Willink's forces.

100 Splinter Cells
70 Snipers
30 Grenadiers

---

As for the Saharan Autobahn, I will have 100 Reichspolizei (the elite police force of Tannenmille) each 50 km of highway.

The attack begins without a hitch, then trouble brews. A couple blocks over from the target building an APC is hit by a Morter and explodes, killing all 6 inside. Willink forces are pinned down by fire 200m frim the building, and finally advance when a Su-39 fires a hellfire rocket into the hiding spot. so far 8 casualties. The choppers land on roof and tannenmille forces inflitrate through a side window. The terrorist attmept to destroy the building, but only blow a 15 foot hole in the side of the building killing 2 hostages. tannemilles guys exfiltrate through the front door, and are ambushed by more insergenst, who have taken the whole block. An attack heli gets shot down by a SAM and the convoy contiues to get pounded by fire, and another 6 operatives die. The convoy rolls away, and regular Willink troops move in to kill attacks, and Seveal Tanks level almost the whole block, resulting in the death of a dozen or so civilians. The reactor is found in the garage of the target building, but the componets are removed.

[Casualties]

Special forces operatives-14
Troops- 22

Terrorists- 300-600

I've got the urban assault version of our Downs Class APC all over the recent insurgent uprising.

For these APC's, a platoon is 5 APC's with an uparmored 5 ton truck. We currently have 6 platoons operating in different cities. This is part of our new initiative with our Army. It's designed to have near identical units everywhere, with the versatility being in the troops inside the APC's, a versitile unit themselves.

Anyhow, we captured a position outside of Baghdad where the insurgents were using a sniper line to target our drivers and officer.

Casulties Today:

1 APC (RPG and combined mortor attack)
1 5 Ton Truck
3 Soldiers (roadside bomb to the truck killed the drive and then it came under RPG attack)

Well, we're going to need a large amount of asphalt and such for this Autobahn. It would help if we had a map that had a scale to it. And these recent terrorist attacks are indication that we do need, at the least, a temporary military Autobahn.

Yeah,

Hey, I'd like to propose something. The insurgency started coming back once we divided the country, and our militaries.

I'd like to suggest that we allow our units to go between each others claims to operate, it just allows thing to work easier.

Everyone,

Since the highway was my idea, i'd like to suggest that we have someone from my nation coordinate the whole project.

Thus, I've set up an HQ near the center of my territory. The area is protected fairly well, and ya'll are free to send anyone you want you there at any time.

We have a problem.

The insurgents have launched a major offensive. A massive car bomb went off in central Baghdad, and they have assault the roadwars all over the country targeting civilians and other vehicles with low armor.

We've armed 4,000 Saharistani Security Personnel with another 8,000 in reserve.

We've also activated 8 more platoon level combat teams (PLCT's) for immidiate combat patrols inside the country.

The sudden resurgence of the insurgent attacks in Baghdad is a serious problem, especially as Baghdad itself falls within Halberdgardian territory. We are in the process of screening Saharistanis from Halberdgardian-occupied territory for a proposed border security agency, and once we are finished, the border security should increase manyfold, and the frequency of the insurgent attacks should decrease accordingly. We are also deploying several Special Forces A-Teams to Baghdad to assist in security issues. They will fall under the aegis of Task Force Omega, and will have newly-promoted Colonel Jack Whittier as overall commander.

The problem with this is that you can't find insurgents with tanks.

Our APC's are as armored as our tanks, so we have the protection, but it's hard to use a main gun inside a large city.

We've got our security forces everywhere, and ComOp's has began giving out 250 more 90 day and premium (no time limit) contracts for people to come and help secure the country.

In other news, ComOp's has purchased 100 cruise missiles and a surplus submarine fleet. They've also designed their own vehicle and moved 75 of them to Saharistan for highway patrol and light tactical assignments.

Tannennmille:

the c-130 from aeibeiria landed safely and the 3 escort planes left after refueling. the aeibeirian contingent was met and was was escorted by your forces. are we going to stay in your sector of baghdad?

100 premium contracts have been signed for ComOps, and number of their XT201 vehicles has increased to 125. This "faction" (if you will) has became one of the most influential units in this county.

The problem with this is that you can't find insurgents with tanks.

Our APC's are as armored as our tanks, so we have the protection, but it's hard to use a main gun inside a large city.

Well, that would be why we're using A-Teams. They'll get the job done. If you were referring to the Saharistani-run border security agency we're setting up, then we're telling you now: they're not getting tanks.

In other news, Halberdgardian Army Corps of Engineers Captain William Richards has been designated as our liaison to Autobahn HQ in McKagan territory. He will be arriving shortly to begin to help oversee the overall construction process.

OOC: If each of the powers involved in the construction process could estimate where they are in building the autobahn and give me a starting point, I might be able to throw together an updated map showing the progress of the autobahn.

Aeibeiria -- Yes, that is fine.

Another subject of thought -- What shall we call the reconstructed Saharistan? Would it be considered the Confederate States of Saharistan, or will we devise a new formal name for it?

The CX-3 Carbine Project is finished and has been tested.

This lightweight, durable, and advanced carbine has a scope so acurate it can be used as a short range sniper rifle. A magazine holds 30 rounds. Select units also come with a package of different color lasers designed for different enviroments.

The weapon itself has a collapsable stock. Another feature is the ability to adjust different demintions of the weapon in order to suit the soldier.

This unit isn't available for immediate sale.

Another subject of thought -- What shall we call the reconstructed Saharistan? Would it be considered the Confederate States of Saharistan, or will we devise a new formal name for it?

The Confederated Territories of Saharistan, perhaps, or the Confederated Commonwealths of Saharistan. Or maybe just "Tannenmille-occupied Saharistan (TOS)" and "Halberdgardia-occupied Saharistan (HOS)", etc., since the various regions of Saharistan aren't really united, per se.

And finally, about the Autobahn, Reichsführer Aven Tannen himself would like to oversee the Tannenmillian Autobahn, and will arrive in the McKagan province along with 50 of the Reichsführershutz, his personal guard. They are equipped with vibroblades, Beretta Elite II 9mm pistols, and BlasTech DL-44 blaster pistols.

That'll work.

We have an old embassy compound up there we're using for this. It's a hardened structure with helipads and an underground garage.

I encourage all of the provinces to send delegations up here, that was we don't have to waste time and money on communications.

Intel has just found a large insergent base about 75 miles up the coast from port stanley, just inside Mckagen teritorry. We belive the nuclear componets are there, and an AC-130 spector has been sent to damadge the complex.

Tannenmille Assimilates Saharan Youth

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v181/Bronzicus/Tannenprop.jpg

Tannenmillian flags hang from the ceilings of Saharan schools as the Provincial Territory of Tannenmillian Saharistan are slowly absorbed by Tannenmille. Minister of Foreign Affairs Daniel Cornstall, addressing the common question on Tannenmillian's mouths in light of this news, said, "Tannenmille in no way is going to wipe out and ignore the culture of Saharistan. If you look outside schools in the Province, you will see that the Saharan flag still flys, and the Saharan children do not say the Alliegiant Oath to Reichsführer Tannen. Although we encourage children to embrace the culture of Tannenmille, we do not force it upon them." Although Saharan history is still being taught in schools, high school Saharistanis have the option of taking a Tannenmillian history course which offers the same amount of credits as the Saharan course does.

Early morining, over target



'This is Ghost 4, we are over target, commensing fire." The AC-130 began to rain howitzer shells on the base."All is going good so far command." "Shit, we got missiles locked on, fuck ! Fire flares (http://www.ailes-militaires-belges.be/images/c130/c130_flares.jpg) ! 2 missiles down, still 2 inbound. Brace for impact......... FUCK AHHHHHH !" One missile slams into the side of the right wing, tearing off the engine and most of the wing. The Specter goes into a nose dive, spinning, and the second missile hits the back fin, riping most of it off. The cargo hatch breaks open, and then falls off. Debris continue to fall towards the ground, and the plane crashes into the side of a road.

( here is a picture from the following morning (http://www.spectrumwd.com/c130/images/c130_373.jpg))

By the time our help arrived it was too late. The whole crew was dead. (http://www.spectrumwd.com/c130/articles/7772.jpg)


An Peoples republic Mig-29 was also scrambled to help, but was shot down (http://home.hetnet.nl/~ramon_berk/crashMiG29-300.jpg)

OOC: The Provincial Territory of Halberdgardian Saharistan...I like it. Good name idea there, Tannenmille. Although I might just shorten it to the PTHS. I like acronyms, when they work, if you couldn't tell. ;)

OOC: I'mma do a nitpick here: an acronym is only considered an acronym if it can be pronounced as a word (UNICEF, WHO, etc.) To (sort of) quote George Carlin, "The FBI and CIA aren't acronyms, they're just assholes."

3 PLatoons of the urban assault version of the APC's surround the area where the nuclear reactor is.

A loan, HEAVILY armored APC breaks off.

It has a grenade launcher, and a 50cal machine gun. The unit also has a rifleman with a CX-3 in the back.

The objective is simple, move as far down the road as possible and then hold before the rest of the unit can move in.

The APC moves up to a courtyard, where a sniper in a tower get's taken out by the 50cal. All seems clear here, the unit moves on out and turns sideways behind a wall. The complex is visable from the ridge just forward of the position.

A soldier gets out with his CX-3 rifle and runs forward, hitting the dirt and then looking over the ridge. An enemy platoon of tanks (3 tanks) is blocking the road into the compound.

He decides that firing on these tank commanders could possibly jepardize the mission.

8 uparmored 5 ton trucks come in with 6 soldiers in each. They unload, and then a platoon of McKagan APC's move into the courtyard and support the scout unit.

8 more troops arive from an infantry carrier APC, moving the total number to 56.

This has happened at 4 other places around the compound. All of the other tank platoons guarding the road are being engaged.

Just the, the most heavily armored APC's move forward and begin their assault.

2 of them move up to the ridge to fire down on the battlefield, and 5 mortars are brought off of a truck and begin shelling the area.

After a few minutes a Sgt. walks up to the Company Commander. "Sir, we're ready to bring in the air support."

The area where the reactor is being held is heavily fortified, and carpet bombing isn't precise enough to do enough damage to which ever underground bunker the parts might be in. This said, a artillery strike starts on the machine gun nests all across the fort.

It's going to be a hard fight to enter the compound.

The McKagan Republic is allowing ground forces from anyone who wants to come add to the numbers.

OOC: I'mma do a nitpick here: an acronym is only considered an acronym if it can be pronounced as a word (UNICEF, WHO, etc.) To (sort of) quote George Carlin, "The FBI and CIA aren't acronyms, they're just assholes."

OOC: Interesting. I didn't know that. You learn something new everyday, eh? (And just for the record, I'm American, not Canadian; I just happen to make use of the word "eh.")

IC: Terrorist Base, 75mi N of Port Stanley, 0500 Zulu

"This is it!" Colonel Jack Whittier's voice was clear above the noise of the Blackhawk. "McKagan intel shows enemy armor, machine gun nests, and some fortified defenses at the base! When the groundpounders in the M-175s do their work, we hit the ground running, join up with McKagan infantry, and hit the bastards hard in the balls. Are you with me, men?!"

"YESSIR!"

"Damn right you should be! Lock and load 'em, boys!"

"SIR, YES, SIR!"

Below them, a contingent of 30 M-175 Hellhound tanks were swiftly maneuvering into place. The massive 92-ton tanks were some of the most advanced pieces of weaponry in the Halberdgardian arsenal. Heavily armed and armored, the tank was truly a force to be reckoned with. The Hellhounds rolled into place onto a small ridge overlooking the base.

"Sir, the other units report that the outer peremeter is clear, armor is inside the compound. But the tanks we have avaiable to us now should help with that."

"Excellent" said the Soldier who was to lead the assault from this point.

He radioed to each position, and gave the go ahead.

As the other positions moved in and fighting broke out, he jumped up on the ridge.

"GO GO GO!" he said as he fired his sidearm into the chest of a loan peremeter guard.

With that the urban assault vehicles along with all of the McKagan infantrymen at this point charged down to street level where they begain to fight their way toward the center of the compound.

Once all of this started, that gave the allies the time to land a special forces team on the roof of one of the tallest hardened buildings. With that sniper nest disabled, the allies had a perfect place to pick off enemy forces and call in artillery that would be precise enough to make a difference on the battlefield.

As McKagen armored forces continued to pound and attack the base, several trucks laden with supplies began to escape down a dirt road. The men on the trucks drove by small villages, shooting civilians. A SU-39 Flew over the convoy, came back around, and pounded the 10 vehicle convoy with 30mm fire. The lead truck burst into flames and slides off the road. Bullets bounce off the ground, hitting everything in their path. terrorists fall all over the road and the rest begin to run away, and are picked off by Halberdgardia and Mckagen Forces. What appears to be the componets of the reactor stick out of the back of the middle truck.

OOC: Srry guys...i've been gone a while. Can you all tell me what's been happening?

Saharistan is being divided into provinces controlled by coalitional nations, McKagan is heading the construction of a Saharan Autobahn, and terrorists stole some sort of nuclear reactor.

A platoon commander laying inside a ditch inside the compound checks his radio.

"Sir! 2nd Platoon just came across the reactor componets! We've got a Blackhawk out there now picking them up to take them back to base."

APC's have completed a flank of the enemy armored elements; and with combined artillery and anti tank rockets have eliminated all but 2 tanks that are holding on to the inner compound walls.

Then, 3 more APC's escort 4 more 5 ton trucks in, which in return let out 30 more troops on the edge of the compound. Those units storm into the inner compound and within a few short moments most of the shooting stops.

"Hey! A straggler!" the gunner of one of the M-175s called out jovially to his comrades.

He manipulated his controls, aimed the reticule at the rear end of an enemy armor unit that had inadvertantly come out from behind its cover in the rubble of the base, and pulled the trigger. The sound of the massive 135mm ETRAC cannon firing was deafening. The HEAT shell the gunner had selected to fire screamed through the air at incredible speeds, and impacted squarely on the enemy tank's rear. The center of the ruins vomited flames as the enemy armor exploded in spectacular fashion. The blast flushed the late tank's partner out, who sped away from the explosion before apparently realizing his tank was in the open. He was beginning to reverse direction when three different HEAT shells hit his tank almost simultaneously. The explosion flattened ruins and heavily scorched what wasn't disintegrated.

There was nothing left of the tank when the flames and smoke cleared.

OOC-ALL COALTION MEMBERS The MiG-29AP has entered service.



15 miles of Saharistani coast




Captian smith notices somthing on his aegis radar, what appears to be a large buldge of activity just off the coast. 2 zodiac rafts are launched. When the men get within viewing range, they see what apears to be a large Corvette with supplies being loaded onto it. The markings on the side are of the Old Saharitan Navy. 3 patrol boats and a yacht load what appears to be ammunition onto the ship. The yacht speeds off, and the patrol boats dock against the corvette.(Intel says it is an Laksamana class corvette (http://www.naval-technology.com/projects/laksamana/images/laks1.jpg)) The carrier WNF-Vista recieves the ok to attack it. 4 MiG-29Ap's are launched, in their 1st taste of combat. They speed to the ship at over mach 2. Within minutes they have a visual on the ship. "This is Ghost 1, we have a visual; are we cleared to attack ?" The planes come back around after passing overhead."This is command ghost 1, weapons free. The planes fire 4 missiles at the ship. One impacts just in front of the 3 inch gun, and blows a large hole in the deck. Men run to mount their positions, and fire a Missile at Ghost 3. He climbs up to 15,000 feet, and sharpley turns, putting his thrust vectoring system to the test. The missile flies past him and drops into the sea. The Corvette begins to turn around and head to international waters. Another missile hits just below the water aft, knocking out its propellers. the ships shutters, and heads toward the coast. Another missile impacts on the side of the hull (http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2000/514/uss-cole.jpg), erupting in a small explosion, and the ships lights go out. Now listing, the corvettes bow begins to dissapear under water. Just when they think it is over, the front turret explodes, ripping the hull in half, and the bow quickly sinks. The stern stays afloat, but rolls sideways and gets pulled toward the shore. the Clapton fires an exocet missile at the remains of the stern, and it explodes again, this time sinking. The planes return to the carrier, and the whole ordeal last only about 30 minutes.

The Leafanistani mobster looked at the pictures. He knew that this was a big business oppurtunity. The mob could get into places no military unit could. They could provide valuable intelligence, for a price. And weapons sales. Oh imagine the weapons sales. He ordered his best operatives out there.

Leafanistani Mafia moves into Green City, the newly built city near a port in Leafanistani territory. They work under the guise of a nightclub.

Head Mobster: Randall Decker
His second in command: Hans Guth

Total Mafia Personnel: 52, the head mobsters are armed with Walther PPKs.
The remainder either use Madsen m/50 SMGs (9 mm from Denmark), or Remington 870 shotguns (12 guage), they also have about 12 RPG-7s with 40 mm Anti-personnel grenades or HEAT rounds.

They specialize in giving information to Coalition forces for a price and to selling weapons to whomever can pay. Currenty they own 12 Technicals (normal pickup trucks with a 7.62 mm machine gun mounted on the rear.)

OOC: McKagan it is time for some Mercenaries style action, baby!

Do you want to have ComOp's and the Mafia fight each other and stuff? You'll have to boost numbers, ComOp's has government contracts, so they are allowed to have more stuff in theatre.

That would ROCK!

ComOp's number's in Saharistan

200 Mercenaries
75 CM23's (Think of a Chevy Trailblazer with armor and a gun)

ComOp's has multiple contracts. One being to secure roadways. Other's being counter intelligence, sniper duties, and stopping weapons dealing.

OOC: Let the games begin!

"God damned... fucken'.... 2 cents..."

WHY did my economy drop 2 cents? I saw that earlier... I don't want my economic UN rating to go down a level!

Well, i'm still the most powerful economy in the theatre, other than Space Union (i don't think i'm going to catch him)

And no one else is really THAT close to me other than Tannenmille.

I'm really proud of my defense budget. Since the last time I took the tallys on this (about a week ago or so) I went up 300 billion in defense; I'm almost at a trillion.

My defense budget has gone up too, I believe.

In other news,

The Republic's most advanced ship has just gone into production. The RMV Slither contract has just been awarded to a private shipbuilding company that also built 3 of our attack submarines and 2 of our Nuclear missile subs.

The design is revolutionary, while still remaining almost completly secret we know that the ship will carry at least 300 armed soldiers, 3 APC's, a helicopter detachment of at least 16, and at least 12 16-inch main guns and 3-5 inch guns.

Another idea for this ship is that it is going to be invisable from radar, sonar, and some orbital photo's. Up to this point "stealth destroyers" had usually been fairly lightly armed. Not this one, it's designed to be like a nuclear attack sub. Once it goes in the water possible enemies don't know it's location until it fires.

Another interesting feature that has been realeased to the public is that this vessel has the ability to lower and raise itself drastically in the water. It is a distinct possibility that this is part of it's steath sheild.

While all RN (Repubican Navy) ships have high grade armors, the Slither is going to lead the field. Introducing a new composite material based off of titanium, all vital areas will be especially protected with flame resistant bulkheads.

And in a drastic change of plans, Captain Larson has been removed from the November Rain Project and given command of this ship, much to the delight of all the Republican Navy's allies.

Nice idea, but a little unrealistic. 1st the cost to build and design that would be in excess of 300 billion dollars. The weight from the 16 inch guns would sink the ship, and even with nuclear turbines, it would only get about 18 knots full speed. Also, submerging would severly damadge the 16 in barrels with seawater. If the shis draught can be changed, a rapid turn would capsize the ship. A ship of that size would never be classified as a 'Destroyer' weighing by my estimates at least 90,000 tons and it would have to be around 1,200 feet long, bigger than most foreign carriers.(destroyers weigh 5,000-15,000 tons and are 200-450 feet long.) The hanger idea is good, but isnt very useful(read about the russian typhoon subs). You would also have to build a large amount of crew space which would make the ship very cramped, along with missile launchers, there would be barley any way to move. I also doubt there is a naval yard anyware on the earth to build somthing that big. This is just my 2 cents. :headbang:

I know, there are a few mistakes, i've got to downsize it just a bit. :p

Anyhow, I didn't mean it could completly submerge, just lower and raise itself in the water.

I also doubt there is a naval yard anyware on the earth to build somthing that big. This is just my 2 cents.

You sir have never heard of a Doujin-class Battleship.

OOC: The Slither is actually going to be something like the DD(X).

OOC:

[shameless plug (no offense intended, McKagan ;))]

The Imperial Praetonian Shipyards (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=422657) have some of the best naval vessels I've ever seen. Their Omega-class heavy battleships pwn like no other. I've bought four already, which is saying something, because they're $6 billion apiece. If you go to the thread and buy ships from them, tell 'em I sent you with a shameless plug. Maybe I'll get a discount. :D

[/shameless plug]

I think i'll just build my own.... that way if it sinks I get to execute people without starting a war. :p

McKagan want us to help you install some LASER turrets on your ships for naval anti-missile use. We request a small fee of $2 billion US for the production rights and experitise so you can continue to produce and improve upon our Microwave LASER turrets.

Yes, we'll agree to that.

OOC: However, have you actually used it in an RP? I can see the newbies now... also, could it be possible to develope the same thing for torpedos and mines?

OOC: Got a NSWiki for my nation; it can be viewed here:

I'll improve on it in the future, but I think it's a decent start. It'd be cool if we (the coalition powers) all got one, but I won't cry if you don't. :p

On a more serious note, though, I would appreciate it if you all could contribute to another Wiki I plan on making: a chronicle of the Saharistan War. I might even TG Zahrain and ask him if he'd be willing to contribute, so we can make the article truly all-encompassing and objective.

I'm not getting one yet, I don't have the time.

However, I do have the time (and would like a little help if possible :p ) against "Colorado and Texas" his his thread, see the last page.

He sent a fishing boat into the peremeter around my ship that is off limits, and then a sub... i've fired warning shots, but don't want to sink anything with my new destroyer.

They were killed by a stolen Leafanistani Red Mercury Thermonuclear Micronuke. Immediately High Father declared anyone in the Red Brigade was now a terrorist and the Red Brigade was outlawed. Shortly after, the Red Brigade shot down a training F-5E High Father's son was flying in. It was unexpected, he had no chance to react. High Father authorized lethal force be used on members if arresting forces felt it necessary. Leafanistan is very critical of the Death Penalty.

Why thankee, kind sir. As an aspiring historian, I take pride in the fact that you find the Wiki entry well-written.

Thanks for complimenting our work, we all love history, even though it sometimes isn't real history.

UPDATE (6/5, 4:20 PST): Finished work on "The War" up to the nuclear attacks. Begun work on "The Invasion of Saharistan." Added section: "Rebuilding Broken Nations." Made some minor edits to all previously completed sections.

Appended: Edited the map of Saharistan, with the (presumably) completed autobahn included (all the black lines). Also, I divvied up Space Union's claim among the active nations, as he hasn't been here in a while. If he wants it back, I still have the original map with his claim on it. You'll notice I took a little bit of territory on the southern coast, and established a port city there (as yet unnamed), so if McKagan wants Coronet back, he can have it. If anyone has any concerns about the map, let me know, and we'll see what we can work out. Anyhow, this is the new map:
