OOC: This is a cleanup of the old "Bolkia invaded thread, and it supercedes it

-- Bridge of the Molotai'i class destroyer Kau'pulani --

Captain Kuroshi regarded the Bolkian coast. Bleached white cliffs plunged into the frothy sea, which seemed to despise them and fight against the land. The weather had cleared, affording him his first clear view of the place, and he wondered just what the inhabitants had planned.

First they shoot down an unarmed cargo jet, he mused, then they hurl insults, and now they ignore us. This leads us directly to here, this dismal point off a barren coast, about to fire the first shots the Aysheaian navy has ever fired in anger against another country.

And the Bolkians? They are nowhere to be seen. i know they have a navy, I know they have defenses. They may not be large, but you'd think they'd at least try.

To port he could make out Kau'pulani's sister ship, Malakui'i, holding station 4000 meters away. The escort carrier Tu'ureu'u lay 2000 meters to starboard. Around them several missile frigates, both U'uapi and the new Skate class, formed a screen against resistance which simply wasn't there. He drew breath. The moment had come. With a word he would enter the history books, something he'd fantasized about since he was a boy. He looked down at the decks, at the pair of twin torpedo tubes now loaded with Swallow cruise missiles, their guidance systems already fixed on the primary target - a military airfield near the coast. With a word he would enter the history books. Just not in the way he would have thought.

"Fire."

The Tenchian navy radioed Kuroshi from one of their aircraft carriers "Our reinforcements are moveing down from the north, we should be there in an hour". The Tenchian fleet was small, but effective. It consisted of 3 aircraft carriers, 4 destroyers, 3 battleships, 4 artillery units and 4 regiments of G.I.'s that were to be deployed onto the land, and a weapon that was rumored to have been designed by the leader himself.

I give you full command of Velkyan assests in the region (as I have another country to command). Also, open it to participants of the previous thread, as both sides had some powerful allys on thier side.

OOC: Will do.

What Velkyan forces are there? Aysheaia's got 4 destroyers (2 are still en route), an escort carrier, and 7 missile frigates on the scene, plus 2 support ships.

Give us a few minutes and you'll have the Tenchian navy at your command.

2 carrier battle groups, the 2nd, and the 1st Naval Fleet.

The 1st RDF is also en route.

My fleethas arrived and is a your command.

OOC: Good god i'm tired... See you tommorow. Oh and if you could wait to start until tomorow afternoon I'll be able to actually fight and that would be nice. thx.

If you are not here when the war starts, we automatcally use your assets. OK?

Bump

OoC: I won't be too destructive :p ;)
IC:The Sturgeon Fleet was en route to the Antarctic. It looked as if a few stormy days might be ahead of them.
STurgeon Fleet consists of: 4 Destroyers/anti-sub
3 Anti missile/aircraft frigates
2 Carriers-10 jets each+1 Bomber each
5 Mid-size Transports

OoC: it may be a while

2 Norad class super battleships began there long journey toward the battle.They each had 15 F/A-18's on them and The two regiment of men going from people armed with Colt 1911 sidearm pistols all the way to mark 6 armoured men.
OOC:Right now im a bit disorganized because I just a large amount of weaponary so i need to sort it out.

Sitting on the tarmac in a Southern Velkyan Airbase were ten F-15R "Talon Eagles", two EF-15E "Shrike Eagles", three NB-52L "Stratocarriers" and a KC/AC737. With their bodies gleaming in the midday sun, the Stratocarriers awaited their go-ahead orders.

Order incoming: Aid Velkyan Forces in the Bolkian Conflict with Anti-Air and Anti-Ship operations. Self-protection is primary, protection of Velkyan forces secondary, tertiary protection of allied forces.

Seventy-four engines fired up, and sixteen planes launched into the sky.

OOC: (I'm going to collect some stuff from the source threads to hopefully get this moving along again.)

Bolkia responded to the initial volley of cruise missiles thusly:

OOC: lets do this thing

IC: Dozens of explosions littered the Bolkian coast. Several artillery gun and missile sites were knocked out. It was Bolkias turn.

Coastal General Shiek Aramain looked at the Allied Fleet with extreme prejudice. They had the nerve to threaten Bolkia, and now they seek to destory it? Not on his watch. Exorcet batteries and 155 mm guns at the ready, he hesitated, then let loose.

"FIRE FULL BROADSIDE"

A massive crashing noise was heard, and the coast light up with gunfire.

I responded:
-- Bridge of the Molotai'i class destroyer Kau'pulani --

Flashes lit up along the coast as shore batteries began to fire. The range was extreme, but there was still a danger.

"Mister Alau'oto, Take us out of range of those shore guns!", Captain Kuroshi barked. "All ships, pull back! Get those tubes reloaded!"

With a shudder the engines opened up and the Kau'pulani swung about. The larger destroyers carved a sinuous path while the faster, nimbler frigates zig-zagged to avoid the gunfire. There was a sudden flash in the darkness, then alarms clamored.

"Incoming missiles on active final!"

"Engage countermeasures!"

From the stern came a sound like a giant sheet being ripped and bright lines of tracer fire stabbed out. Bursts of light flared as the phalanx fire hit a missile, then another, and a third.

"We're hit! We're hit!"

The ship shuddered and heeled. Off to the port another flash and another ship hit.

"Damage control, report!"

"Working on it, sir!"

Another flash, then the night lit up.

"Damage report from the Malakui'i, they took a missile to the stern but made it out of range of the shore guns"

"Tubes reloaded, sir!"

"Take out those missile batteries!"

"Acquiring... Locked!"

"Fire!"

Any nation on Bolkias side is listed as enemy, any one on our side is Allied.

List your alligence please.

"Another Volley INCOMING!!!"

The explosions were alot closer to home this time around, with a dozen batteries out of comission. His destroyers were only a few klicks out. He still had the option of air support...

"Private!"

"Yes, lord?"

"Send for our airborne brethern!"

"Yes Sire!"

"Load batteires!"

He waited...

"FIRE AT WILL!!!"

The cannons began firing indepently, as did the missiles.

They streaked towards thier targets.

SITREP FROM HYRONIAN AIRFORCE ALLIED WITH THE VELKYAN UNION.
NB-52Ls Ingrid Bergman and Grace Kelly are now on-station 100nm to the south of the allied fleets, along with half of the "Riot Eagles" (5 F-15R, 1 EF-15E).

Vivien Leigh and Cold Front with their attendant fighters are station 500nm to the south of the allied fleets.

Awaiting launch orders.

Sergeant Major Lewis was in charge of the best of the best in The Fogarty's Airforce.He had to lead the small fleet to the enemy frigate at Woldorf with their mission being to blow the helll out of it.

"Gauthier you take the left,Alexnader take the right every one go up in the sky."ordered Lewis.He was in charge of 5 F-31X Cyclones one of wich he was flying and he also had to command 5 F-33B Pheonix's.

"Okay men were nearing the enemy have your missiles ready and be ready to pull up in the sky if were shot at we don't want any loses today boys."

With that said all 10 Ships dropped down and heavily bombed the frigate and the area ."Good job boys pull up we just need to wait now and see what the damage report is."

-Message from 1st Naval Fleet-

ALL FOGARTY UNITS ARE ORDERED TO PULL BACK IMMEDIATLY, THERE ARE HEAVY SHORE BATTEREIS IN THE CLIFFS!

-1st NF Out-

Shelik recived a call, barly audible around the intense gunfire.

"Sir!"

"What?!

"The Fogarty fleet has reached the sacred cliffs of Woldorf!"

"Excellent! Deploy the Jihad!

Above Zarik, 10,000 feet.

The 3rd Squadron's leader, Mohammed Kalzar, smiled.

"We are over the enemy fleet, descend and realese iron bombs!"

The dozens of bomb fell from the Su-25s and neared the Allied Fleet.

“What’s our range to the coast, Mr. Kalahuan?”

“44 kilometers and opening range, sir.”

“Air contacts to the north and south, sir! Foreign warplanes.”

Kuroshi scowled. The situation was rapidly becoming untenable. All intelligence to the contrary, Bolkia appeared to be armed to the teeth with a dense network of coastal batteries. Ships and warplanes from strange nations were pouring in, some radioing intent, others silent. If this confusion continued there would be an incident, someone would be fired on.

“Send to fleet: ‘Pull back to 100 km, ready all defenses, prepare for air and sea battle’. Then contact the foreign groups and arrange for some kind of meeting.”

“Missiles incoming! Firing anti-missile defenses…”

An Exocet missile spends most of it’s time skimming the sea a scant 2 meters above the wave tops. For most of that time, it is navigating with inertial systems only, and almost undetectable. It is only when it is close to its target that it switches to an active radar lock. As they did so, defensive missiles leapt to meet them with a hiss, tracing lines of flame that terminated with flashes as they destroyed their targets. The Exocets that survived, now very close to their targets, popped up for their final dive while last-ditch phalanx cannons worked to shoot them down.

Kau’pulani rocked and the lights flashed out for a moment before coming back on again. Kuroshi looked to the damage control officer.

“We’re hit, damage control is on it.”

Kuroshi looked at their position. Their task force sat to the south of a large bay, to the northeast was the Bolkian city of Woldorf, and the land curved in to the east north of that. Most of the foreign forces were clustered to the south, save the warplanes to the north. Until he knew more about them, though, he was going to keep his distance. As long as the west remained open, then, he had room to maneuver. Damage control reports were coming in, the missile that hit them had penetrated the hull but failed to explode. At this range it had nearly consumed it’s rocket fuel, but what remained was enough to ignite a fire between decks. So far it was being contained and didn’t immediately threaten the ship. The other destroyer to take a missile, Malakui’i, had contained the damage but lost the use of her stern weaponry. Not good, but far better than it could have been.

“Ship contacts bearing 168 degrees, range 50 kilometers! Bolkian destroyers!”

“Have frigates form a defensive line between those destroyers and the carrier. Confirm targets as Bolkian?”

“Yes sir!”

“Engage!”

Arches of light flared from the missile frigates as Exocet missiles launched, then arced down to skim towards their targets.

OOC: The first salvo of cruise missiles were targeted at the airfield at Kilka, nat the shore batteries (which were undetected at the time of launch).

"Sir! Runway Penetration bombs have hit the Kilkiaan airfield! Runways 2 and 3 are hit!"

"Damn it to hell!"

The destoryers and shore batteries began to fire a massive wall of cannon and missile fire.

"Sink one of those ships damn you"

Meanwhile, the iron bombs launched from the remaining Su-25s reached thier targets in a flash of lights and destruction.

Dozens of tny zodiac craft began pouring from the cliffs at the Fogarty forces.

OOC: The Velkyan, CoA and Hyronian forces are clustered to the south, the Fogarty are up north!

OOC: New tactical map of Bolkia published.
[img=http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/7510/bolkia7ti.th.png] (http://img294.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bolkia7ti.png)

OOC: I've been going on the assumption that Bolkia's in the far south, since you're within strike plane range of antarctica. Aysheaia's in the pacific tropics. Since Kuroshi was planning on hitting an airfield, he'd go for one further north. I was viewing him as sitting due west of the arifield near Kilka. He's also an untrusting bastard, so he's keeping away from the rest of the allied forces for now.

Whose forces are the Flankers attacking, by the way?

"Pull up ,Pull up get up get outa hear anti airship turrets pull up"bvellowed Lewis."I'm Hit aaaaaghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"cried Gauthier."Everyone fall back get outa here go back "yelled Lewis Pulling back "Everyone go back to the Velkyan ships and get some rest we'll try again another day"sobbed lewis.

The whole fleet was saddened at the lose of Gauthier that none of them talked on the way back.

"General Fogarty,This is Chief commander Maxwell Of the Seal class destroyer Lassie.We are currently nearing the shore of Zarik we have the fleet of Seal class destroyers here wich is a total of 20.We are planning to commence fire within thwe next 2 hours we are going to wait for the next air stike on the shores before we do any thing"briefed Maxwell.

"Commander Maxwell the next air strike isnt until after we get the B-2 Bomber fixed.Wich should take about an hour Then it'll take an hour for it to get there.And with that Bomber we are going to send in 50 Typhoons F-1's and 10 Mark III.General out"

Day 1 Alllied Forces Operational Report, Operation "Hurricane"

Losses:

24 Dead, 45 injured

Several CoA and Fogarty ships damaged

Kills:

23 Shore Batteries confirmed destoryed
12 Exorcet Launchers confirmed destoryed
2 runways at Kilkia AFB damaged
5 Su-25s downed
Unknown Bolkian casualties, expected in the hundreds

Land Gains:
None

Summary:
Most of the Bolkian forces still lie inland, and shore batteries are more effective than we have anticpated. The use of suicide attacks on Allied forces warrent extreme caution when we proceed inland. TOmmorow begin the air war, and we expect Bolkian resistence to crumble when faced by overwhelming air superiority.

Tommorrow how should we plan our air strike.

Allied Airforce Bombing Plan 1

All nations have been assigned bombing targets, check the legend to find yours.

[img=http://img287.imageshack.us/img287/6986/bolkiastrikemap3tr.th.png] (http://img287.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bolkiastrikemap3tr.png)

At 12 midnight tonight, all Allied Air Forces will begin a similtaneous attack upon Bolkian Targets once given the "Zulu go code".

If you have any questions please direct them towards me.

The Tenchian forces were in sight of the cliffs.

<radio>
Kuroshi, We are comeing into range, confirm targets on the cliffs as bolkian?
<end radio>

Commander!

Yes sir?

Ready all deck guns!

Yes sir!

What 12am in nationstates in Mountain time.

OOC:I am posting my attack now becuse I will not be on at that time.

Lewis and his men were supposed to take the Morkolian air field and Captain Casper was to take out the Kilkain airstrip.

"Come on guys we need to do this not for our country or for the battle but for Gauthier guys"Screamed Lewis.

"I know some of you guys are brand new here but you have to try your best.We are going to do this because it is our duty so lets go."called out Casper.

All of a sudden The B-2 bombers flew out and 25 attacked each airstrip.and all of Lewis ship were back in order.
"Ready ,aim, fire,"yelled out Lewis and Casper at the same time.All of a sudden there where loud explosions and fires everywhere."Once you guys shoot and drop everthing you have pullup and fall back we don't want any more incidents"ordered the General.

Alright, send out a scout plane to confirm.

Yes sir!

<radio>
to
S.S. Ninangrad: send out a scout over the cliffs. fire at will. Repeat command.

Send a scout to confirm that they are enemys. Command confirmed.
<end radio>

A kingfisher scout plane took off and headed for the cliffs.

<radio>

Kingfisher 3, report in.

Confirmed enemy.

Pull back to your ship pilot.

Sir!

<end radio>

Fire!

[Am doing this now because I may not be available later - I'll RP the rest tonight.]

The Isle of Shalik lay 130nm to the east when they recieved the order.

Zulu go code.
-ENCRYPTED TRANSMISSION FROM ALLIED COMMANDERS
-Attack targets on the Isle of Shalik including the towns of Coddil and Xenobad, and all military installations on this island.

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

The four FB-16XL "Delta Vipers" of Vivien Leigh lit up their engines and were dropped from their moorings on the underside of the converted B-52. Freed from their constraints, the black-and-green-painted bodies fell for a few metres before the pilots went to full power and rocketed away from the area at mach 1.5. Carried beneath their delta wings were several large precision guided bombs. They were targeting the airfield.

Next, the A-10C "Bluebolt" fighters on the Grace Kelly and Ingrid Bergman dropped clear of their moorings, and rocketed towards the enemy towns in groups of four.

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

Aboard the KC737 Cold Front, Captain Richard Johnson watched the flashes of light from the fighters through his windows. "Righto boys, let's give the Bolkians something to aim at," he said, giving the order to bring all the AWACS gear online. The idea was that presented with a big and shiny target such as an AWACS, enemy fighters wouldn't pay too much attention to the inbound bombers. He hoped that the F-15 Squadron would be enough to defend the AWACS, which was typically the first thing that enemy fighters would target in an air battle.

OOC: I'm late to this party. This account took place at about 10:30PM. Assume we'll fire Swallow cruise missiles (basically the same as a tomahawk with a bomblet option - which I'll use ;) ) from standoff range - 70km - to avoid shore fire. I'll write up an account tomorrow...

---------------------------------------------------------------
-- Bridge of the Molotai'i class destroyer Kau'pulani --

The actinic flare of welding torches competed with the glare of worklights. The task force held station 100 kilometers off the coast in calm waters, and Kuroshi had taken the opportunity for repair and resupply. The two supply tenders sat alongside two Skate missile frigates, transferring sealed Exocet launch boxes to the smaller ships.

Tomorrow would begin the first working day of their uneasy alliance. The Velkyan Union had pushed their battle plans through with characteristic bluster, and managed to convince Prime Minister Utui’ini to go along with it. So tomorrow, after linking up with the two Bravo class patrol destroyers on their way south, they would strike 4 Bolkian cities as part of an intricate simultaneous attack.

For tonight, though, preparations.

OoC: Sorry I'm late. I've reduced size to 10 jets per carrier+1 bomber
The Culexian Naval Forces had finally reached their destination.

Admiral Thomas ordered that the Falkon Crews prepare the Bombers.
This will be a night for the Bolkians to remember, he thought.

Aysheaian losses from the combat to date:

- 3 missile frigates lightly damaged from shore batter fire, light casualties.
- Destroyer Malakui'i heavily damaged by Exocet missile strike, moderate casualties, currently operating at half effectiveness (and will probably pull out).
- Destroyer Kau'pulani lightly damaged from shore battery fire, moderate damage from Exocet missile strike, light casualties, currently operating at reduced effectiveness.

Conference call by president:Time 00:00

"Hello,General Fogarty this is, President Fogarty you are ordered to send out all of our Transport helicopters near the city of Shosl all of the copters must go back for two trips.Then we are going to stike in two days.You must have scouts go out every thirty minutes.You have exactly one hour to prepare all of this."advised President Thomas Fogarty The 34th.

"Yes sir,we have been waitng for this call all day we will have the copters ready in half and hour.The men have already been told to go out scouting every fifteen minutes.We will have a perimeter set up by dawn, artillery will arrive by 09:00 and we will commence the long range attack by 12:00.We have an air strike plotted for exactly 10:00 just two hours before the artillery opens just so we can tell them we mean bussiness and to take attention away from our position."revised The General.

"Casper,this is the General it's time to activate plan Theft.Please pass the word on to Lewis i'm having trouble reaching his radio."briefed the General

"Yes sir will do."answered Casper.

"ALL UNITS THIS IS CAPTAIN CASPER IT IS TIME TO ACTIVATE PLAN THEFT."boomed Casper's voice over the intercom.

OOC:Aysheaia who's side are you are and the same to you techno.

OOC: Aysheaias on Aysheaias side - it was our cargo plane that was downed, after all. Kuroshi doesn't entirely trust the other attacking countries, but will go along with the joint strike.

Ok.

OOC: Tecnomache is on Aysheaias side, I don't see why Kuroshi doesn't trust me.

OOC: It's complicated. Part of it is due to the absence of any real negotiations between Aysheaia and anyone else. Kuroshi, who is an untrusting bastard at the best of times, thus views the rest of you to some degree as interlopers and potential threats.

At the same time, Prime Minister Utui'ini has ordered him to cooperate, so he will. Kuroshi feels to some degree, though, that Utui'ini is using the whole situation for political gain, and that he's not taking the safety of the task force seriously. Kuroshi, as a supporter of the old P.M., also suspects that Utui'ini wouldn't mind getting rid of a detractor and gaining a martyr all in one shot.

None of the last part is common knowledge at all. It helps to explain Kuroshi's attitude, though... ;)

"Captain Casper this is Major Gerald of the fisrt Airborne.Everyone has landed and we have commenced setting up our perimeter.Please inform the General that we are two hours ahead of schedule so if he wants to change the artillery deployment and air strikes time he could move it back a couple of hours.Also we saw a few campfire's on our way here we think they might be enemy scouts.<Roger>"said major Gerald.

"<copy that> Major we will notify the general as soon as we get this gas shortage problem figured out.You guys are our first priority.Have you guys heard from "lassie" or SM. Lewis he some how hasn't been reached in the past eight hours and we are beginning to worry cause you know he was the best damn pilot in our airforce.We also need him and his men for that airstrike.If you reach him tell him to call HQ.<over and out>"said Casper.

"Private Marshall,get over here"bellowed Gerald.

"Yes sir?"asked Marshall

"We need you and a group of pilots to go out and look for Seargent Major Lewis it is a matter worth a code red protocole."Responded Casper.

"Yes sir we'll find him ASAP.I'll make sure he will be found before dawn."said Marshall.

The Elite Forces were on their way to the Mainland. Consisting of 2 25 men patrols, led by General Jen Lao Tzu-F, the forces were bound to win on their midnight raid.
The General ordered that the forces board the 2 advanced snow leopard assault/transport tanks, Kaits'u and Varoh, originally meant for scientific excursions in Arctic/antarctica. These battle vehicles were the largest in the Culexian Military, and were bound to succeed.
