Tag for later roleplay post. Closed RP between myself, Dan the Merciless, and a few select other nations that can join in too maybe.

The 1st and 3rd Armies have been mobilized in preperation for the war. Thousands of veteran soldiers from The Dan-Militants War are being called back up. The Imperial Navy are setting sail. The Airforce have scrambled their jets and troops and armor have been moving towards the border with Lower Sussex.

War! The Forces Mobilize

The upper echelon of the Sucellan Governance have unilaterally decided that war is to be declared upon the Liberal Empire of Dan the Merciless. Across the Governance, 2 million soldiers have been mobilized in preparations for the bloody war. Time will tell who the victor is.

Sentinel-class troop deployment ships streaked low over the skies, carrying fifty-four Stormtroopers towards the territory of Dan the Merciless. Out of their ship's speakers flooded the heavy beats of the Tannenmillian War March. ZIG and TIE fighters swooped around the sky, their pilots greedily anticipating the death of their enemy. The first Sentinel ship dove suddenly towards the ground, quickly followed suit by the rest. Ramps descended and troops began to stream onto the open fields.

*The Daily Dan*

High General Dan met with his Commanders of the 1st army group early last night to discuss plans. The 1st Army consists of 300,000 troops, 5,320 tanks and other armor, 2,200 pieces of artillery. Late last six divisions of the 1st Army moved towards the border with Lower Sussex and waited for morning. In the morning they crossed the border and advanced 10 miles with little resistance. But, Tannenmille stormtroopers had gotten behind the frontlines. In the early light the Tannenmille troops stumbled right on our own troops. Fierce fighting has been taking place since then. The offensive inside Tannenmille has been losing momentum. Cloase air support and pin-point artillery manage to flush out many enemy soldiers. Enemy airstrikes and fighters are becoming quite a nusence. Our herats go out to our brave men and women.

OOC: Okay, Lower Sussex = Deutschefranzösisch Rheinland. Lower Sussex doesn't exist; it's just a puppet. And by the way, don't attack Saharistan. The other five nations occupying Saharistan besides me wouldn't look kindly on you attacking there. Also, don't roleplay what my troops are doing because I might bluff you into thinking I have only a full house when in fact I'm hiding a royal flush.

Earth
Day Two of the Dan-Tannenmille War
0200 hrs

High Admiral Chriztoph Vengerd watched out the front viewport of his Lamda-class shuttle as it streaked down, down towards Earth. As they broke through the high clouds, they were above the Baltic Sea. Before them lay all of Deutschefranzösisch Rheinland and the Jutland. Troop dropships began firing downward over the south of Germany, near the border with Dan the Merciless. The lights at each of the wings of the shuttle winked slowly as the ship sped along towards Berlin. Above them, bright flashes of light lit up like stars as more and more troop dropships fired their directional balance thrusters, turning to face the ground below. Chriztoph squinted slightly and looked towards a particular section of the German countryside, where he saw bright red flashes as the Tannenmillian soldiers fought against the soldiers of Dan. Even as this happened, more troops marched further towards Dan's territory, setting up temporary bases as they went.

Day two of the offensive has seen much action. Our divisions have now penetrated 30 miles into Tannenmille territory and are meeting strong resistance. Several small towns have been taken over. Elements of the 10th armored division have clashed with enemy armor. The offensive is beginning to slow down but hopes are still high for our forces. Our enemy has proven to be a much more advanced and modern enemy than when we fought Random Militants. Many of our jets and bombers have been shot down but as of yet no cities have been touched.

Greenpeace Commandos is a puppet nation of mine. For some reason my posts come up as that instead of Dan the Merciless. Just to let everyone know.

*The Daily Dan*

Just moments ago President Dan went before the Grand Assembly and asked for a declaration of war. It has just been passed even though our forces have been fighting for two days now. More news from the front as it comes in later this evening.

OOC: Just confirming that yes, Greenpeace Commandos = Dan. Just as if ever there is a post by "the United Emperies", "Lower Sussex", "Leetspeakers", "Tannenmill", or "The Peoples Puppet", those are me too.

IC:
Captain Adrian Redbird keyed his comm system. "All soldiers forward," he commanded. "Snipers to the flanks, we need some heavy weapons up here now! Triple time!" Within seconds, four Stormtroopers lumbered up as quickly as possible, helmets partially cut away to accomodate the large cannon that was rested upon each of their right shoulders. An orange visor displayed targeting information as they kneeled took careful aim for the vehicles and temporary officer's quarters of the enemy. Four tones beeped twice in succession, acknowledging that a target had been acquired. In unison, the four Stormtroopers fired their weapons and opened the vents on their weapons, letting the waste heat and plasma steam to the ground, turning small patches of dirt to a yellowish glass. They stood again and marched forward to acquire new targets.

A few metres away, white-clad Stormtroopers manouevred over the corpses of their fallen comrades, checking them for any sign of life. When none were found, they unslung their weapons and walked silently forward, spreading a huge wave of fire over the advancing enemies. Red streaks filled the air as the assaulters drained their ammunition cartridges and quickly replaced them, still firing. Snipers off to each side took careful aim for any important figures and opened fire, hoping to pick off officers and logistics. More plasma coated the ground as yellowish glass formed thick pools of warm goo. Now ten of the heavy weapon Stormtroopers charged forward, taking aim for supply lines or any leftover vehicles and fired while still running forward. Captain Redbird merely watched with a smile as the Tannenmillian troops fearlessly attacked the soldiers of Dan, hoping to force them out of the Rhineland.

Commander Thadeus Popadopolis looked up over a pile of sandbags that made his command bunker. He ran to the radion and pickled up the transmitor "Broken Arrow! I repeat Broken Arrow!" The enemy troops have gotten into the perimeter on hill 16. Within a minute artillery fire and close air support rained down upon the bottom of the hill. Napalm exploded and consumed all in its path. Sadly, the hill fell. Up and down the line units were pulling back, But, the much needed tanks appeared and held the lines together. To the right much ground was given back to the enemy as they swarmed around threatening to outflank the troops.

The Imperial Navy has begun shelling key enemy positions a few miles in land to soften them up for the advance. More and more troops are being called up for the war effort.

[tag] , could i join in tannenmille if not too late ?

I don't care. You'll just get into a world of hurt if you take me on boy.

[tag] , could i join in tannenmille if not too late ?

OOC: It's not too late, but I'm kind of wary about SWC nations joining. It's currently two nations not including me on my side, and then just Dan so far. Once Dan gets a few allies on his side, then maybe I'll let some of the SWC join in.

IC:
When the napalm hit the Tannenmillian fortification, the troops at the centre of the blast were killed quickly, their white armor fusing into a shell of death. Further from the blasts, troopers began to sweat intensely; their weapons tried to dump the excess heat but couldn't, the heat wasn't coming from use. The guns overheated and some exploded. Troopers from even further back were caught in the artillery strikes. After a short while, it was over. Smoke still drifted over the battlefield and napalm fires burned, still hot. Medics scoured through the bodies, reviving the few that lived and saying prayers over the dead. A new group of soldiers jaunted up the hill, setting up a small base and beginning sniper work.

Over five hundred pieces of artillery as well as naval ships began bombardment of a valley just over the border. There, several divisons of enemy troops were camping. Thousands of our own began to move across the border in a two pronged attack. The Northern advance was picking up momentum but were being harassed by sniper fire. The Southern Offensive has just started. Over 100,000 troops and 2,000 tanks have just crossed the border to engage the enemy. As of now we have no figures on casualties just that they are expected to be high and more than likely already are.

OOC: For the sake of feasibility, your naval strike will not be hitting the valley / hill your artillery is. The border I'm imagining is the RL border of Germany and the Czech Republic. I'll let you decide where your naval strikes will go.

A group of TIE Interceptors lifted vertically from the airfield just outside of Bremen, heading towards the Dan fleet. TIE Bombers followed shortly after, and carried heavy payloads sure to cripple the deployed ships in theatre. As they streaked off toward the Atlantic, the national anthem of Tannenmille played over the comm systems.

The Stormtroopers stood their ground through the mighty explosions all around. Most of them were killed in the explosions, but a sizable contingent was left, ready to fight.

Casualties:
200 wounded
140 dead

*THE DAILY DAN**

"This is Tom Feltzer reporting from the frontline" He moves across the ground "Heavy fighting has been taking place up and down the line for some time now. It's pretty quiet here for the moment. I have the casualtie figures for the battle on the hill. As many as 300 are dead and 780 wounded. It seems as though the enemy still holds the hill. We don't have casualty figures for the rest of the fight as of yet. Hopes are still high as is the morale. Sniper fire and enemy mortars pound this base repeatidly. But, as you can see it has been some time since. Most of the fighting is taking place south east and west of here. I'll keep you posted."

Is the map we're fighting on a map of Europe?

OOC: Yes. I control from France up to Germany, with Luxembourg and Belgium. I've had that claim for a while now. I see you as attacking from the Czech Republic, Italy, Poland, and a little ways east.

50,000 Stormtroopers marched forward, toward the border with Dan's territories. Another fifty thousand flew overhead, transported closer to the border via Sentinel-class landing craft and Lamda-class shuttles.

What the hell was that?

OOC: Mission data that was transmitted from Private Ross Wemple's neural interface to a server in Tannenmillian territory that keeps track of every soldier. It basically tells the story of Ross acquiring a target, destroying it, and then being killed by a shot through the heart. Whether you decide that was from a civilian or military is up to you, as are the rest of the details regarding your defense against the attack. If you want, you could even decide that the town had not been fortified, I wouldn't mind. :P

**THE DAILY DAN**

We've just gotten word that eight infantry divisions have begun bombarding enemy positions in The Alps. Their plan is to breakthrough and thrust northward and capture Paris. As of now the troops have not moved. Explosions rock through the mountains as all the enemy can do is wait for the shelling to stop.

OOC: I don't have any troops currently on assault in the Alps. Any troops in the French Rhineland or Alps would be on defense only.

IC post coming sometime.

I know, that's why all they're doing is waiting for the bombardment to end.

Haha! I'm back as Dan the Merciless.

OOC:Oh, I thought you were saying my troops were doing that. My bad.

SECRET IC:

Operation: Clamshell
TOP SECRET MILITARY INFORMATION
To: High Gen. Chriztoph Vengerd; High Gen. Cliff Deur; Großkanzler Wolfgang Rosenthal

We will break the defensive line in the French Alps and spread some troops out and down behind Dan's forces. Once his forces are in France, another corps will come down from the north of France and we will crush Dan's offensive! The previously defensive divisions will unite behind Dan's troops, the upper offensive will crush Dan from another side, and to top it off we're planning carpet bombing and chemical warfare. Soon we will bring Dan's imperialism to an end! Soon, my friends. Vengerd; take your men together along the north of Poland and begin to wrap around Poland. Once the perimeter is secured, ravage through Poland and take control of it. Deur; split your men in the Alps and call another corps down from Paris and some other bases. Wrap your defensive men around the back of Dan's force, bombard him with our artillery, and then kill them all. Pity for the guilty is treason against the innocent!

SURRENDER IS BETRAYAL

Rsfr Peffe Tannen


OOC: You don't know we're planning that; don't even think that you can know about it.

IC:
High General Cliff Deurs set the letter down on his desk. He commanded the French Theatre of Dororsyforce, the Tannenmillian Army. He opened the comm link with every Company leader in the Alps. "The corn is disgusting and my Coke is flat. Bring me more ice for my drinks."

"Jawohl," came the replies.

The Tannenmillian forces all but disappeared into the snow banked mountains of the Alps as the army of Dan swept in, hungrily, towards France and beyond.

OPERATION OBVIOUS

Several airborne divisions will drop behind the French Alps and secure several key bridges and roads. This will trap the remnants of the enemy in the mountains where they will be destroyed. Then, like a sledgehammer we will advance to Paris and capture it at all cost. The Northern Campaign will seem like the main attack when it isn't (Tehe)

0530 hrs

Captain James Westfall lit up a cigarette and took a whiff. Then he snuffed the stick out on his boot. They had been walking for about three hours now, further into the Alps and towards Switzerland. TIE bombers began loading their payloads in anticipation of the invasion force, and the armies had already begun mobilizing from the north. Sentinel-class crafts streaked across the sky, transporting heavy weapon Stormtroopers to keep the pass clear for the wraparound troopers. By 9 am, things were well under way and the Tannenmillians began waiting for Dan's next move.

The soldiers, exhausted from non-stop fighting find a calm up and down the front. They dig in and get some much earned and needed rest. Fresh troops and equipment are moving in for preperation for the breakthrough in the French Alps. Bombers run their missions into the night and the artillery firing begins to slow down. Many of the men sleep or are writing letters to home.

I am going to bed. It's been a long day.

**THE DAILY DAN**

The night has seen light action up and down the line. Mostly the sounds of jets filled the air. An hour ago, the Northern Offensive opened up again. The suprised enemy fell back in disarray but were able to regroup and put up stubborn resistance. But, the Generals incharge are confident that they will make a breakthrough. General Powers, head of the 10th Army has just crossed over the border into The Czech Republic. They are driving for the Capital of Prauge. So far they have met light resistance. The Alpine Offensive has begun and eight didvisions are piercing striahgt through the enemy lines. They are being harassed by enemy bombers and snipers. As of now, casualties are light but are expected to be much higher before the day is out. Enemy positions have been fortified over the night.

OOC: That's roleplaying what my forces have gone through and what they're doing, which isn't possible. You can only tell the story of what your troops are doing.

Sorry man, I thought you did have alot of troops in the Alps.

Do you control Turkey?

Sorry man, I thought you did have alot of troops in the Alps.

OOC: I do have quite a lot of troops there because I have 5 million soldiers spread over Saharistan and DFR. Since you're attacking from the east, I'm slowly moving the mass of soldiers that way to slow your entry to DFR, then invade Dan.

Edit: No, I don't control Turkey. The only territories I control are DFR (Germany, France, Luxembourg, Belgium) and 1/5 or so of Saharistan.

Why don't you roleplay what my forces are doing once and we'll call it even.

Seeing how the Alps are lightly defended then my troops are making good time. Though it is hard moving 80,00 men and armor through there at one time.

Sorry, I misread what you said. My troops are now slowing down due to enemy resistance.

I'm going off the eat some lunch. I'll be back later.

How about you control Germany, France, Luxemborg, Belgium, Austria, Czech Republic, Spain, Portugal, Denmark, Norway, Britian, Switzerland, Sweden, Iceland, and Ireland.

I will control Poland, Italy, Hungary, Slovakia, Romania, Ukraine, Belarus, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Russia, Finland, Moldova, Bulgaria, Greece, Albania,
Croatia, Serbia, Macedonia, Slovinia, and Herzegovina.

Each of your territories are more advanced and economically powerful than mine, that's why I have more. How does this sound?

Andrew Oblum dug himself deeper into the snow. His sniper rifle lay before him, ready to fire. He was one of the few defenders of the Alps, the newly formed 34th Elite Expeditionary Unit, the division made of snipers and heavy weapons that would slow Dan's assault into France and keep them relatively contained. He spotted, off in the distance, a group of enemy soldiers marching into view. He shouldered his rifle and engaged the targeting systems, waiting for the low tone that signified that he had a lock. His rifle beeped twice, and Andrew fired. He had aimed for an officer, and hopefully his shot had made its mark. Quickly, he slung his rifle over his back and jaunted across a path and down out of sight.

Tanks rumbled forward and shuttles filled the sky as the 2nd Dororsyforce Assault Corps marched east towards the Alps. They had gathered all the men from the interior of Deutschefranzösisch Rheinland and marched, 300,000 men strong, towards the advancing soldiers of Dan. Sentinel-class landers transported heavy weapons personnel towards the front lines as AT-AT walkers and AT-ST recon patrols dotted the massive wall of white armor. Lamda-class shuttles filled with ammunition cartridges and repair kits made their way toward the line of bases that now stood at the edge of the Alps, at the spot Dan's forces would emerge.

General Powers Alpine Command Bunker

"Dammit! Where are my reinforcements!? We have 80,000 men moving across the Alps but an enemy force of 300,000 is heading straight for them. Give me a status report on the 3rd Division." Commanded the General.

"Sir, All forces are moving across the Alps on schedule. They are encountering light resistance but nothing too heavy. If everything goes to plan then the 2nd and 8th divisions should be through the Alps late tonight."

"I want bombing runs on that enemy force coming this way. We must keep the flanks secure at all costs. If we take Paris then that will mean an end of the fighting in France. I don't care what the cost is, we must drive them back and take Paris!"

Do you have any troops in Prauge?

OOC: I know I didn't roleplay it as there being any air force there, but I'm also advancing most of the air force in France to the Alps. There are going to be fighters, bombers, fire control, recon, etc.

I'll be making a post regarding Glatialov's soldier movements soon.

The Northern Front

Five divisions of the 5th Army have rolled almost unopposed into the Czech Republic. They are now only a few kilometers away from their prize, the city of Prauge. Hopefully the city will surrender without a fight. Our forces wish not to damage such a beautiful city.

OOC: This post will be in blue because I'm going to have to roleplay what Glatialov's soldiers are doing since he can't get on. He's still controlling them, I'm just writing out how they do what he wants. Any post in blue is a post regarding Glatialov's troops.

High over France
Glatialov Space Command Experimental High Atmospheric Spacecraft

Lieutenant James Sutherland, 34, was the oldest man in the regiment. Checking his equipment and the equipment of the man next to him, he stood and walked to the bay doors of the plane. "Men," he began, "I'm not going to lie to you. You will likely die. But! We are defending our allies; our brother nation. If that's not worth dying for, then nothing is."

Twenty young faces looked up at him. "Aye, aye, lieutenant!" they all said in perfect unison. James pressed the button that would open the bay doors. Bringing his fist over his heart in the Roman salute, he jumped into the opening.

---

300 feet from the ground, the Glatial forces deployed their parachutes and primed their weapons. Upon landing, they marched toward the designated LZs.

OOC: As I control the Czech Republic, you can be sure there are going to be troops securing the border. You can't just walk in unopposed to any of my territories.

The Northern Front

My forces stand poised to take Prague. I demand that you surrender the city and spare the inhabitants and the city from utter destruction. You must answer as soon as possible.

Alright then, my forces met some resistance and are now just outside of Prague.

Dan's forces had fully entered the French Alps, and the Tannenmillian and Glatial troops moved swiftly together, forming a barrier of soldiery behind the army. From many hidden speakers in the Alps began playing the Tannenmillian War March. On the horizon appeared suddenly TIE fighters, bombers, and recon ships. The bombers flew low over the army of Dan and began dropping their bombs, melting the snow and creating black patches of burned grass and vegetation. The two armies, made of Tannenmillian and Glatial troops alike, drove forward, crushing Dan's army in a ring of death. Shots rang out for hours as the troops battled.

OOC: I'll leave it up to you to post casualties.

How many troops do you have in Prague?

OOC: 60-100,000. Another 100,000 along the Czech / Dan border.

**THE DAILY DAN**

We have just gotten word that the 5th Army has begun shelling the enemy held city of Prague. The Commander of the Garrison had refused to surrender. Meanwhile, in the French Alps our troops have faced a flood of enemy troops. We have word that many units are falling back into defensive lines. But, many of our troops are still fighting. Thousands of soldiers are dead and wounded. No exact figures.

PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC -- Fighting continues in the Alps today as leader of the Liberal Empire released a statement declaring that he would be razing Prague, Tannenmille. Forces stationed at the border of the Republic have reported that no such force has been seen, and no soldiers of Dan the Merciless currently threaten Prague. Related, it is estimated that four thousand Tannenmillian soldiers have died in the battles in the Alps, and that number is expected to rise as fighting continues long into the night.

**THE DAILY DAN**

We apologize for our last statement. It seems as though we recieved false intelligence from our contacts. It seems as though our forces are not outside of Prague but are still fighting on. Still trying to drive towards the city. Again we apologize.

Captain James Westfall lit up another cigarette. It had been his fourth in the past hour. For the time, the area around his company's fortification was quiet. Stormtroopers gazed out into the dark, inky night as the horizon glowed red, signs of fighting in other valleys. For about seven hours the Tannenmillians had fought valiantly, and now, for a fleeting instant, it was still. A Lamda-class shuttle appeared from around one of the mountainsides, winking as it made its way toward a makeshift landing pad. Setting down on twin legs, its ramp opened and four Stormtroopers appeared and began unloading large crates and chests full of ammuntion and medical supplies. They unloaded enough to keep the small squadron active for a few hours worth of fighting, after which the shuttle took off again and headed for the next group in need of supplies.

Corpral Skavinski put on his white camoflauge jacket and hunkered back into his foxhole. Their squad was digging in on a hill. They had seen heavy action today and were now resting and re-supplying. He put his weapon down for a moment and looked out over the valley. Bright flashes on the horizon appeared and disappeared. 300,000 enemy soldiers were out there, waiting to attack. Only 80,000 of our own stood in their way.

More and more troops are being called up. At this time 210,000 troops are in the field with another 500,000 being mobilized. A draft has been enstated to up our numbers.

Cpt. James Westfall snuffed out his seventh cigarette and dropped to the ground, unslinging his rifle and bringing it to his shoulder. He winked on his nightvision and took careful aim at a small heat signature high up on a bluff some 300 metres away. His rifle cracked twice as twin blue bolts hummed through the air, racing towards their target. Dropping the spent rifle in a patch of grass, he picked up a carbine and jogged up to the side of a cliff. A group of Dan's troops had stumbled on their encampment! He dropped to a knee and sprayed the area with red fire, likely killing most of the soldiers. With that, he looked around for any more stragglers. Seeing none, he ran back to the camp to give a report.

Corpral Skavinski fell to the ground as soon as the firing started. He looked up and saw that the men he was with were dead, except for Sgt.Pepper, who was severly wounded. "Why did we have to go out on patrol?" He asked himself "This is pointless!" He picked up his assault rifle and moved up the mountain to find the shooter. "Don't worry sarge, the medics are coming." He began the climb.

Cpt. James Westfall was telling a few Privates where he had seen the enemy when suddenly his comm system crackled with static and he fell to the ground. A hole in his armor quickly turned red as blood poured from his wound. Twp privates whirled and opened fire, while the other downloaded the dead captain's Battlelog.

Does this mean Cpl. Skavinski shot him?

Yes. Cpt. James Westfall is dead, and all the symbols are because of his corrupted memory.

Cpl. Skavinski hit his target and quickly ran down the slope. He tripped on a rock and tumbled down. The enemy began to fire at him as he bashed against rocks on the way down. He hit a small plateau and laid there, bruised. He managed to get to his feet and hobbled away as fast as possible.

After seeing the enemy fall down a cliff, the two privates that had fired on him ran over to the nearby speederbikes and mounted them, flipping switches and igniting the engines, floating down the cliff toward their target.

"Dammit! Why did you go after that guy, now you're about to die!" Cpl.Skavinski said to himself as he tried to move as fast as possible. But, his leg was messed up. Down the hill further he could see his comrades who had come to collect the bodies. The enemy were getting closer. He shot a few bursts at them and continued to hobble away.

As Lt. Sutherland and his twenty man Blood squad wait in the shadows for night to fall they crouched in the uppper branches of a few trees, barely noving a muscle. Night fell and quickly and silently as the night they snuck into the base camp where Cpl.Skavinski is staying bandaged and bruised. A hard wind blew as Lt. Sutherland crept into the tent. Skavinski slept, drew his knife and slit the Cpl. throat. he crept out as quickly as he came in he left the tent. 45 minutes later everyone in the bunkers and outposts of the base were dead. Finally, they reached the medics tent and sent it on fire, all but seven of the doctors survived and were taken prisoners and subjectedto three hours of torture for the teams pure enjoyment before they died.

The first private, Casey Noisewater, pulled his speeder in front of the hobbling man and aimed his pistol right into his face. The other private stopped behind the man and jammed the barrel of his pistol into the man's neck. "Come with us," Casey said in an almost electronic voice; his helmet amplifier synthesized his voice slightly. The two privates waited for the man to react.

Edit: OOC: Glatialov, you can't roleplay what happens to his men. You can say that's what your troops are trying to do, but there's no way it would happen just like that. Someone would notice.

Exhausted, bruised, and dizzy, Cpl. Skavinski knew what his only option was. He couldn't fight anymore. With a heavy heart he dropped his assault rifle and tried to raise his arms. His left arm was too badly injured to raise. "I surrender!" His captors were hardly human in his eye. They wore full body armor and had mechanical voices. His part in the war was now over.

OOC: But can i still say that we killed Skavinski?

Casey helped the broken man onto the back of his speeder, and the two privates, with prisoner in tow, sped away through the trees and up into the snow away towards France.

OOC: The guy will be healed, well fed, rested, etc. Then the interrogations will begin.

Edit OOC: No, Glatialov. I have my own plan for him. Roleplay your forces in the Alps fighting with Dan's.

He has been captured by Tannenmille. It's up to him. Just to let him know that killing prisoners is a war crime.

**THE DAILY DAN**

News from the front. In the Northern Front, the 5th Army is still trying to move forward. They are meeting enemy resistance though. They hope to be at the outskirts of Prague by morning. If all goes well.

On the back of the enemy vehicle Cpl. Skavinski thought about home, his friends, and his wife. He did not know how long it would be until he would see her again. He tried to stay awake, but fell unconcious.

OOC: scratch last roleplay post
1:24 hours
six Bomber plains flew in the night sky over the farmlands in Dan's Territory, they went in what seemed to be, at least from their piont of view, undetected, inside lay a payload of easily puncturable large balls filled with heavily salted water.

That is just stupid!

1:42 hours

"Deploy payload," came a vioce over the intercoms on the bombers. "In 3...2...1..." in unison, te bay doors opened and the salt water balls were dropped and the bombers started home.

OOC: Dan, do you understand why i did that?

Yes, I understand why. That salt water will ruin the fields and nothing will be able to grow.

3:04 hours

Lt. Sutherland and his men crept quietly into the night towards the fires in the distance. They moved about 2 inches a minute until they got to an emcampment and watched it from the tops of a clump of trees.
"Men," Sutherland whispered into his wireless mike that transmitted into his men's ear. "in 12 minutes we will move. We will need a diverson fire three hundred feet downwind of us, and then we will use heavy gun fire towards the medic bunker. If all goes well then we will get all of the doctors and wound and kill most if not all in the base." they located the medic bunker and moved out of the trees.

If you murder all the medics and wounded, that'll be a war crime.

If you murder all the medics and wounded, that'll be a war crime.

OOC: Well, killing the medics would if they're civilian only. Once they begin aiding military personnel, they're a target.

And remember Glatialov that you only have 21 men that jumped from the plane that you can use until you bring more forces in.

I'll get another post in later, once I find an Afternoon Delight music video that I can rip the audio from.

I've been on the compuet too long. I'm gone.

OOC: MY plan wasn't isn't to kill the wounded and doctors, its to kill the doctors and any soldiers that attack. These men are are trained to kill all of any enemy wheather they die or not they will kill even after their last breath and if most of the men get wounded then the regiment is slowed down making it easier for Tannenmillian soldiers to destroy it.

Digne, DFR
0600 hrs

Around the outskirts of Digne milled many Tannenmillian soldiers; the reinforcements that would be called in if all hell broke loose in the Alps. Two speederbikes drove into camp, a tired looking man confined to the back of one of the bikes. The two drivers leaped off of their bikes and saluted. High General Cliff Deurs was here, overseeing the Alps defensive operations. "Sir!" Private Casey Noisewater exclaimed, surprised that a High General stood before him. "We have captured a prisoner." General Deurs lifted an eyebrow. He surmised the condition of the captive, and then that of the soldier before him.

"Take him to a medical centre, and then report to my office, Private."

--

After recounting to the High General the story of their encampment, Private Noisewater took a deep breath and looked down at his armor legs. They had dark scratches along them from a few bolts the captive had fired. They nearly shattered his shin, but instead ricosheted off an odd angle and exited into the snow. High General Deurs leaned back in his chair to soak it all in. "So," he finally spoke. "You say there were only around a hundred thousand men?"

"Yes, sir. From what I could tell, no more than 150 thousand."

"Hm." The general turned to a terminal on his desk. He began typing on it, and the ArmyComm insigne appeared on the screen.

We have finished closing the maw of soldiers around Dan's men. It is now just a matter of time until their strike force is destroyed. Vengerd, take your men down into the Czech Republic. There are reports of a contingent of Dan's soldiers amassing at their borders. FleetComm, I may need some bomber strikes at the borders if there are any verified army movements in that theatre. 390,500 Tannenmillian soldiers made up Operation Clamshell and according to the Battlelog server, 4,922 are KIA; 17 are MIA; 3 have registered POW and have since been registered by their neural fiber implants as KIA; then around 7,500 have been registered as Wounded. I am going to send 30,000 soldiers north and east into the Czech Republic to foritfy positions there. Soon the forces in the Alps will be destroyed and we can begin moving troops into other areas that need reinforcement.

Jets take off from the decks of carriers. Admiral Jacovi looked up to the sky and saw the enemy transports. "We have to shoot down as many as possible. AA missiles began firing into the air as many transports were shot down. Enemy fighters attacked the fleet.

SCANDANAVIAN DEFENSE CENTER

General Mueller paced around the room. "I didn't expect the enemy to attack so soon. We've been taken almost completely off guard. But, our forces must fight on. The defenses in Turku must hold! We cannot afford to give them a footing. Luckily The fortress on The Aland Islands has been giving up quite a defense and have shot down some enemy transports. Radio Commander Petrov and tell him we are sending him reinforcement!"

TURKU, FINLAND

Fierce fighting in and around Turku has been taking plave for hours now. Our own artillery are firing into the city to do what ever they can to stem the tide. The Turku garrison was no more than 30,000 but an estimated 75,000 reinforcements should come within the day. For now, our forces hold on by the skin of their teeth.

Lt. Sutherland ran through the woods, the last five of his troops right on his tail, they had done their job in sneak attack, all they had used all of their ammunition. All they had left were a knife and Katana, and forty C4 charges. AHead lie the alps and a path made by Dan's tanks. THeir plan needed no communication between eachotherthey were going to blow the place like Tannenmille on the Battlefield 2 game. SO far their was no signs of struggle or a fight.

[B]22:59 hours[B]

Sutherland looked through the darkness at the remains of his troops, a man to his left had caught a bullet in the side of his nose, removing it completly. Further down the line, a man was bleeding from several shrapnel wounds on his face and the man next to him had a hole in his right cheek and a pine splinter was sticking out of his left eye. 300 yards up the path a group of tanks and troops were resting of a few moments.

"Men," said Sutherland hoarsly, "We have two choices. One, we charge the tanks now and get blown to hell, or we could go around the mountain and get repairs and munitions. What'll be." tears were welling in his eyes, he had always told them to leave a good looking corpse but the ragged face before looked even more ghastly than he had ever seen on a living man. He knew their answers beofre they answered, they were going to die tonight. he smiled weakly, stood up, and he and his men charged the tanks, 30 yards out they started throwing the C4 and waited until they were seen, getting ready to push the buttons to detinate the C4, and theirselves.

SDC Command Bunker, Turku

Commander Petrov walked back into the bunker after returning from the frontlines outside of the city.

"Sir, reinforcements have arrived in Helenski and are movinf to the city as we speak. Admiral Jacovi's Fleet are providing us with air support as well. What are your orders?" Said an officer.

"We will hold our defensive positions. I was just at the ouskirts of the city and our boys are putting up one hell of a fight. We cannot allow the enemy to capture this port. If they do, then they can unload heavy weapons and armor, as well as more troops."

"Sir, wht of the border with Sweden?"

"That is none of my concern. That affair is up to General Mueller. My concern is the defense of the city. I want engineering teams to set charges to the docks as well as the factory complexes. We can't afford to lose those to the enemy. If I have to burn the city down, then I will do so. Until then, we must fight on as best we can. Commander Tellso will have to prepare the defenses for Helenski as well."

By now, 100,000 more soldiers had been deployed to Turku. Another 6,500 soldiers had died, and another 4,000 were wounded. Heavy weapon Stormtroopers shelled the city as the rest stormed every street, killing anyone they saw with a weapon and searching every house they encountered.

240,000 troops are now in and around Turku.

Northern Scandanavia, 2:42 hours
20 cargo planes roared into earshot ripping apart the gentlness in the aftermath of battle, the planes were heading to Finland armed with heavy weapons units, snipers, and infantry. the drone of the enigines dulled the yells of soldiers talking to their neighbors about what was going to happen.

"You know what!?" yelled one private to his neighbor, "I overheard our uppers saying that if Tannenmille takes Finland the war is a sure victory!"

"Are you sure?" the man yelled back

"For the most part, are yo're rockets loaded yet?"

"Yeah, what about your sub-chain gun ammo?"

"Its all here, look, the hatch is opening, i'll meet you when we touh down!" the early morning sky was filled with 300 Glatial soldiers, Regiments 6 and 4. they touched down 2 miles from the border and marched towards Finland, some nervouse and some excited.

"This is not all fun games soldier!" yelled Seargent Bartholomule Nimfadora, "Its times like these that will crack a man like a wolf biting on a rabbits neck."


Meanwhile in the Alps
What was left of Lt. Sutherland twitchedin the crater that, only a few hours ago was filled with tanks, but thanks to C4 and Sutherlands six man team most of the tanks were destroyed.

Commander Petrov paced around the command bunker. "We don't stand a chance." We said to homself. "That fool General Mueller, he hradly made any attempts to save us!"

"I'm ordering the destruction of the docks and factories, blow them to hell! Now, All forces are to withdrwl from the city at once! The relief force is keeping the enemy from completely surrounding us and we have to evacuate the city. Contact Admiral Jacovi and the airfield at Helenski, tell them to send every possible bomber and jet here to pumble the enemy into the gound!"

Fierce street fighting has been ripping the city apart. Now, a full retreat is in affect. The city is about to fall. Soldiers climb aboard transport trucks and any vehicle they can. Air cover is preventing enemy air craft from harassing them. As the army departs the city, the areas outside of the city light up from ordinace from bombers and artillery. The docks have blwn up and the factories have been destroyed.

EASTERN EUROPE COMMAND CENTER (EESC) BELGRADE, SERBIA

Field Marshal Powers stood before his staff. Tired, weary of the incopitence of his generals spoke to them.

"Comrades, this war is not going well, I will not lie. We have just gotten word that Turku is about to fall. Helenski is no better prepared. I am ordering 200,000 men from Belarus to Finland, but it will take time for them to get there. It is complete stalemate on the Polish Front. The Alpine Front, we are on the defensive as well. And I have herad nothing from the 5th Army about Prague. Hope are still high there. The enemy have much more advanced technology than we, because defense was never a major concern for us. This isn't the same army that fought in the Dan-Militants War. We cannot lose, we cannot lose in Finland."

200,000 troops are stationed in the capital. Another 105,000 have arrived from the city of Turku. The defenses are set. The Imperial Navy stand by and have launched interceptors to shoot down enemy transports. The whole Scandanavian Campaign depends on the defense of Helenski. If it falls, so does Finland. If we succeed, then we will have broken the enemy in the region. A force of three divisions and a tank division have left the city to meet the enemy in the field. Commander Petrov storms in the HQ of General Mueller.

"I'm glad to see you are well Petrov." Mueller siad. Petrov walked up to him and struck him to the ground.

"You incompetant bastard! Anyone could've seen that the enemy would attack Turku. But you did nothing. I put out request after request for more troops and equipment but you denied it all! I should kill you right now!" he unholstered his sidearm and put it to Mueller's face. A soldier put the barrel of his assault rifle to Petrov's back.

"You Petrov, I like your style. You could've become a general if it weren't for your temper. Go back to your army and prepare for battle."

"Now you act like a soldier!" Petrov holstered his sidearm and walked out.

All forces are to withdrawl from these cities to a defensive line that stretches from Hau Kipu Das and Oulu to Mt.Isosyute. The mountain will also be fortified for defense. This will maen that 200,000 troops will be defending this line and will defend it all all costs.

General Vittorio Leone walks out from his HQ to gaze upon the beautiful city and countryside. He looked out into the bay and saw the fleet and army vehciles, and troops colums move towrads the port. The staff stood in thr HQ.

"Gentlemen, Tomorrow 30,000 troops are goining to land on the island of Corsica. We beleive that the garrison on the island is small. If we take the island then we can move bombers onto the island and it will allow us to bomb farther into enemy held territory. The Scandanavian Theater may be a failure but we will succeed here. Go to your regiments and prepare them for the assault."

MT. ISOSYUTE, FINLAND

Commander Petrov looked through his binoculars from atop a cliff. He gazed down at the defenses and saw that his men have dug in well. The enemy will certainly come soon.

"This is the perfect defensive position. I feel bad for the bastards down on the plain and in the cities of Hau Kipu Das and Oulu. They may be overrun in the next few days. But we, we will fight to the end. The enemy will certainly die trying to attack this position. The caves, tunnels and trnches make this place unbraekable. The enemy airforce can't bomb us out that easily, I love it!"

"Sir, do you think General Mueller sent you here on purpose?"

"He thinks I and all my men will die here. But, he may see me for what I am. A damn good commander."

I have pledged another 125,000 forces towards the acquisition of northern Finland. I plan to capture all of the Lappi region before pushing down towards Oulu, to lessen the risk of being flanked. Nearly 260,000 troops will be pushing downward until we capture all of the Lappi region, at which time I will be calling more troops over from Norway and Sweden to fuel the efforts southward. I am moving an additional 70,000 soldiers to Turku to keep control of the city as the troops there march on Helsinki.

The failed diversionary offensive into northern Sweden has failed completely. They were ground into the dirt. They sustained 10,000 casualties and 20,000 troops under the command of Commander Theror have just surrendered to enemy forces. This is a devestating blow to our military and a humiliation.

We have captured 20,000 enemy soldiers and officers. They are being transported by way of shuttle around along Norway and down into the United Kingdom and Ireland. Once the military prison complex in Digne is complete we will be moving the prisoners there. Interrogations will begin in Britain in the meantime. The province of Lappin is ours. A force of approximately 450,000 is amassing at the Lappin / Oulu provincial borders preparing to heavily assault enemy positions in the mountains there. We will begin bomber runs shortly, and I am considering heavily the deployment of the biochem weapon Riven on the mountain holdouts. A technical readout that was recently sent to me by Dr. Wilhelm Andross and Dr. Till Goldman is attached. I truly believe that the properties of Riven make it a perfect candidate to test on Dan's soldiers.

Research is being devoted to overcoming this weakness.

Pros:
Fast acting incapacitative and lethal biochem weapon. Is a heavy neurotoxin and causes loss of the acetylcholinesterase function similar to O-ethyl S-(2-diisopropylaminoethyl) methylphosphonothioate. Hangs low to the ground due to its heaviness, and lingers for approximately 1 week before dissipating safely into the ground or air.

Cons:
Effects not seen immediately in subjects exposed to radiation. Can be counteracted by taking countermeasures similar to those taken for exposure to O-ethyl S-(2-diisopropylaminoethyl) methylphosphonothioate, 1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-3-yl α-hydroxy-α-phenylbenzeneacetate, or similar incapacitative or lethal agents. Lingering effect renders land unusable for approximately a week. Currently, development of Agent Riven is expensive and not yet refined. Field tests will determine whether or not production of Riven is worth the high costs and risks of its development.]]

I am ordering the drop of 1000 g worth of Agent Riven on Dan's armies to observe its field effects. My armies will stay well within Lappin during bombing runs, and afterwards will make small strikes inward, eating away Dan's defensive line.

In regards to the Helsinki invasion, we are meeting intense opposition outside of the city. AA sites have been set up by our troops to fend off enemy bombers, and our fighters are flying routine patrols over our soldiers. Currently there are 150,000 soldiers fighting for Helsinki. I am considering bringing some around Dan's defensive line by way of shuttle to flank Helsinki and bombard it from both sides. Either way, Helsinki will fall.

Our forces are currently in a stalemate in the Alps. Bombers are beginning to bombard known enemy positions and our heavy weapons are moving in on heavier concentrations of Dan's armies. Reports are that there are only around 60,000 troops remaining in the Alps and by the end of the week we plan to have them all dead.

Chemical weapons!? No no you can't use those. That isn't fair.

Chemical weapons!? No no you can't use those. That isn't fair.

And yet napalm is considered a chemical weapon. If you really really don't want me to use Riven then I won't, though.

I didn't say it right. A biological wepaon you can't use. Napalm is kind of a chemical weapon but not like wht you have. Naplam doesn't poison people. It just fires them.

I didn't say it right. A biological wepaon you can't use. Napalm is kind of a chemical weapon but not like wht you have. Naplam doesn't poison people. It just fires them.

Riven is a neurotoxic biochemical warfare agent, so by your definition I guess I won't use it now, but do realize that if you manage to attack deep into my territories, I can blow my stockpiles of Riven there. But that's only if you get to like Berlin, Paris, Madrid, Stockholm, etc.

Reply to the rest of it then, Riven's use has been canceled.

If you don't activily use the biological weapon. Just to let you know you're treading on thin ice here.

Well, it's not like I made Riven out of thin air just because of your defenseive line. I acquired some odd biochem thing a few weeks back and have been developing it for a while.

Back to the roleplay though.

SOUTHERN COAST OF CORSICA

The navy has been shelling suspected enemy positions for several hours now. The moment of truth has come. Troops have boarded their landing crafts. The first wave is heading for the beach now. The objective is to unload the troops and armor and push north and capture the city of Bastia. If all goes well then the island will be under our control in two days at the most. General Leone looked out from the deck of a ship. "Perfect"

BASTIA, CORSICA

The invasion went smoothly. The 30,000 troops and armor secured the island an met little reststance. General Leone stood at City Hall in Bastia. They city had fallen with few shots being fired. The operation went quickly and perfectly. To date, this is the most successfull operation of the war. General Leone lite up a cigar and smiled.

"The War Council will be most pleased. They will see the merit I have for being a General. Maybe, maybe they will have me incharge of other operations."

You need to make an update on your offensive on the Oulu Line.

OULU / LAPPIN PROVINCIAL BORDER
Operation: Caste Day One
0000 hrs

20,000 Heavy Weapon Stormtroopers marched across the border, weapons hot. Their infra-red sensors were engaged and the soldiers were ready to fight to the death. Soldiers further back checked their weapons and made sure they had plenty of ammunition cartridges. It was almost surreal; the amount of soldiers that stood there. A single grey-red shuttle descended toward the ground and fourteen Royal Guard troopers strode out, followed by a man wearing the same grey-red seen on the shuttle as a cape. He wore the same white Stormtrooper armor as all the others around, but he also had a red-and-silver striped pauldron with a grey-red cape -- the Reichsführer of the entire Sucellan Governance himself would oversee the final stages of the invasion of Finland. From many vehicles, officers and enlisted alike spoke into microphones that loudly proclaimed a distinct message.

"Soldiers of Dan the Merciless, this is the final hour. If you choose to surrender, you will be treated with impunity. If you choose to surrender, you will be taken to the military prison in Digne where you will await trial. If you choose not to surrender, you will be destroyed to the last man with great prejudice. It is your choice. If you surrender, you will lose Finland. If you do not, you will lose Finland at the cost of your life."

With that, strike teams moved toward the mountains as heavy weapons began shelling randomly into the dark. High General Chriztoph Vengerd himself stood at the rear of the massive army. His breath formed light wisps as he breathed, swirling higher and higher into the dark Finnish night. He keyed his communications system back to FleetComm. "Dororsyforce Scandinavia is go; transmit Operation: Caste information over battlenet."

As one, the massive force moved forward.

Marseille, Provence-Alps-Côte d'Azur, France
Emergency Meeting of Airgtheforce-Alps Command Staff
0130 hrs

High General Cliff Deurs paced along the long table, sighing heavily. nine of his commanders and he made up the Airgtheforce-Alps Command Staff, which would now oversee the recapture of Corsica.

"We have but 10,000 troops in Ajaccio, Corsica. We have only 7,000 that we can get from the Airgtheforce in the Alps, and maybe another 2,000 from up in Germany. I suggest we land those, then start heavy fighter air superiority missions. If they manage to capture Monaco and Nice, we will have a definite problem on our hands," General Deurs said. Two of his commanders looked at each other as the rest started talking among themselves. "Quiet!" General Deurs shouted, tweaking at his goatee. "I'm mobilizing the Lusionforce in the area. We will not allow a single boat, plane, or soldier to touch French soil because they've captured Corsica. Once I get word that every last soldier is dead on Corsica, I will give the authorization to bomb the fuck out of that place. Commanders Joel and David," Deurs continued, "you will be in charge of Airgtheforce-Alps-Corsica. I am putting under your command the 19,000 soldiers I will be mobilizing. Surrender is betrayal." General Deurs brought his fist to heart in the Tannenmillian salute.

"Pity for the guilty is treason against the innocent," the two commanders replied, returning the salute. beads of sweat formed slightly on their brow, and Cliff could tell that they were very nervous at the news of their responsibility.

"Meeting dismissed."

MT. ISO-SYOTE, FINLAND

Commander Petrov, head of the defense of Mt. Iso-Syote knelt on the ground. He looked below to see the enemy army. He snickered after just hearing over the radio some higher up guy for the enemy give an ultimatum to his troops. Petrov walked over to the radion and replied.

"I Commander Petrov am prepeared to accept the surrender of all enemy forces opposing The Oulu Line. I promise fair treatment to all those who surrender. This is your final chance." The shelling had begun. Petrov called in air support after giving his word of defiance.

"We have 200,000 troops and 4,300 tanks and other vehicles defending this line, they don't have a chance. There are 30,000 of us on the mountain alone!"

BASTIA, CORSICA

General Leone walked into the meeting room with his commanders.

"Gentlemen, I want to congradulate you all for our success here on the island. Taking it will prove to be easier than keeping it. I want AA sites to be placed around the island and inland. We have to defend the airfields. Holding this island is key to the future of Operation Lion. I have also requested for more troops, armor, supplies, equipment, andf so on. It will take the enemy time to regroup and mout an operation to take back the island. We must hold it!"

MT. ISO-SYOTE, THE OULU LINE, FINLAND

The enemy soldiers began moving up the mountain. machine gun nests and snipers open fire at every moving object below. It is a baptism of fire. The enemy artillery rounds are very random but some hit their marks. It's a life or death battle for the mountain. Our troops have fixed their bayonets and are ready for hand to hand combat. It is either victory or death. There can be no retreat, there can be no surrender.
Commander Petrov moved about the trenches on a ridge to check on the men. Explosions and tracer rounds fly everywhere. He is pleased with the fight his men are putting up.

"Give it to them men! They'll have to blow up the mountain to get us out." Grenades are being lobbed over the trenches to enemy soldiers below. The entire line is being hit. But, our forces are putting up one hell of a fight. With tanks, bombers, artillery, machine guns, and cold steel.

Oulu Line, Finland

0020 hrs

'Perfect,' Peffe thought to himself, cape swirling majestically behind him in the early wind. It was frigid outside, but Peffe was warm in his suit of armor. 'Those fools have given their positions away for our artillery.' "Troops fall back, shell all known enemy positions. Lusionforce, drop payloads at same locations. Coordinates transmitting." Peffe keyed off the comm system as FleetComm transmitted the known positions of enemy concentrations. Bombers took off and streaked toward the defensive line as bright red flashes lit the sky in a hellfire of artillery.

BUDAPEST, HUNGARY

General Phinneus walked into the Command Center for the city. He had to fly in for an important meeting. Inside was Field Marshall Gregor, a man of few words.

"Phinneus, I have an important operation that I want you to head. It's called Operation Austerlitz. It is a two pronged attack into Austria. I want you to assemble your army at Szombathely. From there, you will thrust towards Vienna. General Tybalt will attack from Marubor, Slovenia. He will attack first and then you will attack after him. That's it, you will be filled in on the smaller details later. We do not have time to waste."

"Yes sir!" General Gregor walked out excited. "At last, I have been given a chance to prove myself."

General Phinneus walked out excited, not Gregor, sorry.

MT.ISO-SYOTE, OULU LINE, FINLAND

The most fierce fighting along the line has been taking place on Mt. Iso-Syote. Every inch of ground was hard fought and cost lives. Enemy airstrikes and shellings reduced many pockets of soldiers to nothing. Still, our brave sodliers fight on. From trenches, caves, machine gun nests, and amoung the rocks they fight on. It has been horrible, the cargange. In some places on the mountain it came to hand-to-hand fighting. Fighting with their bayonets, butts of guns, rocks, fists, and teeth. The only plcae that we could provide air support was at enemy positions at the base. Mortar rounds fired off at the enemy as they advanced. The dead and wounded lay everwhere. No onw knows how many are dead. Despite all this, our troops still control much of the mountain. The rest of the line has also seen fierce combat. But there we can provide more air support and artillery.

ALAND ISLANDS, FINLAND

The garrison on the islands are down to 10,000. Many are wounded and dead from air attacks. But, the AA sites manage to deal with most enemy jets nad bombers. They are low on food and other supplies. The citizens in the city of Mariehamn have suffered the most of all. There were 25,000 civilians on the island. Now, over 3,500 have died. Colonel Keppler has pleaded for aide.

"This message goes to enemy forces in Scandanavia. In the name of humanitary needs I request that we be allowed to evacuate all civilians from the islands. I need your word that you will not try and sink the transports. They will be transported to Tallinn, Estonia. Please, allow us to evacuate them. I am calling for a 24hr. cease-fire in the area. Do you accept so that we may evacuate the civilians?"

Official Statement from High General Chriztoph Vengerd

Yes, you may evacuate the civilians. However, you must agree to a very thourough check by our soldiers of every transport that leaves to make sure you are not arming these civilians or otherwise transporting items of military significance. Additionally, your transports will be escorted by Tannenmillian fighters to assure that your transports are not stopping and picking up any military refugees or personnel. Failure to agree to these conditions will result in a later decision by a council between myself and the Reichsführer. We will be paradropping food and water along with soldiers into the Aland Islands to fortify the civilians there during the checks and in the meantime before they are transported. Military personnel that do not surrender will be shot. Food and water will be provided to military personnel that surrender and swear fealty to the Sucellan Governance.

MARIEHAMN, ALAND ISLANDS, FINLAND

"My soldiers will not surrender. I just ask that we be allowed to evacuate the civilians. I promise that there will be no military personel on the ships. You may search the transports once they have left the harbor. But, my soldiers will not surrender. I just want the civilians out of the fighting." Colonel Keppler put the telephone down and sighed.

"The situation is very grim. We are the last bump in the road for them here."

Corcosia, 23:43 hours

4000 Glatial transport planes flew high in the sky covered by a large thunder stormas they crossed over the central most area the bottoms of the planes dropped out and 50 tanks, 10,960 heavy units, and forty snipers parashouted into the forest below and made camp. :sniper:

What is your reply to my set of requests?

That last post was directed at you Tannenmille.

OOC: I know, sorry.

IC:
Official Statement from High General Chriztoph Vengerd

I will be sending a detatchment of 250 Stormtroopers to the Aland Islands to search the transports after they are boarded and before they leave the harbour. If their shuttles are shot down, I will authorize the carpet bombing of all of the Aland Islands, including the transports. If you keep your soldiers out of our way and do not attempt to interfere with our searches, we will conduct our inspections and leave with no fighting. We will not fight in the Aland Islands during the evacuations unless you push us to.

OFFICAL STATEMENT BY COLONEL KEPPLER

We accept your offer. You may send that amount of troops to inspect the transports. At this moment the transports are on route to Mariehamn. The boardin of all civilians will begin shortly after the arrival of your selected troops and our transports have arrived.

Mazel tov. There will be a few shuttles headed in that direction from Turku. They are not to be shot down. If they are, there will be consequences. If they are not shot down and no fighting erupts in the islands, then your civilians will thank you for not bringing the wrath of Tannenmille's armies down upon them.

COLONEL KEPPLER: I will have some troops at the docks to oversee your inspections. They have been instructed by my personally that they are not to interfere in any aspect of the inspections.

COLONEL KEPPLER: I will have some troops at the docks to oversee your inspections. They have been instructed by my personally that they are not to interfere in any aspect of the inspections.

High Gen. Vengerd: As long as they do not fire upon our soldiers, they will be fine. For their sake, I would suggest you tell them to keep any weapons well out of view. These soldiers have been fighting for days in the south of Finland and could possibly open fire if they see another soldier of your armies with a weapon looking at them. Just a note.

COLONEL KEPPLER: I have also instructed the men at the AA sites not to fire or face being shot. I have contacted Admiral Jacovi and he vows not to shoot down a single enemy jet or transport. And the troops that will be down by the docks will not be armed.

D.R.S. Kulikovo, Baltic Sea

Admiral Jacovi went to the radio and with a smile he contacted the transports that were awaiting clearance to go to the Aland Islands.

"I want to make sure that you all do not have a single armed soldier on your ships. It is important that you all abide by the rules laid out. The fate of 20,000+ civilians depend on you. I am giving the go ahead. Tannenmille soldiers will be inspecting your transports after the loading to make sure none of our troops are on board and that no supplies or equipment are being smuggled in. You are not to interere with them at all. Those who do will be shot!"

The transports have begun the voyage.

DAN NEWS NETWORK (DNN)

"This is Eli Evers reporting from The Aland Islands, Finland. This island is like hell on earth. Enemy bombers have been bombing it. This island is very important for it seperates Finnish waters from Swedish. The garrison here has been fighting for a long time and casualties both miliraty and civilian are high. But, in all this death has come some civility. The Colonel of the garrison has been in contact with the enemy High General. The civilians have suffered horribly here during the siege. But now there is great joy. The enemy have allowed the civilians on the island numbering around 20,000 to be evacuated by our navy. This is just amazing. Evacuations have been underway for several hours now. Tannenmille troops are on the island but are here strictly to inspect the transport ships to make sure no military personel or supplies are being smuggled. So far it has been peaceful. The civilians are fearful of the enemy soldiers but are mostly happy to be alive and leaving this besieged island. Over three thousand have died though. This is Eli Evers DNN."

STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN (SAP) - Fighting continues across Europe today as a small break in the fighting appears. In the Aland Islands, High General Chriztoph Vengerd has given the 'okay' for civilians living there - living in a territory of Dan the Merciless, to evacuate unharmed. Currently, Gamma Company of Dororsyforce-Scandinavia is in the Aland Islands working alongside soldiers of Dan's army to get the civilians safely away from fighting. For a brief moment, it seems that diplomacy yet has a chance.

MT. ISO-SYOTE, FINLAND

Commander Petrov slide his way into a cave that is serving as his command center. Men ran about shouting and in complete chaos. Fighting nonstop has taken a toll. Many soldiers are dead or wounded. But, the line holds. He walks over to a fire where is friend Major Ornoff is standing.

"Sir, have you heard about the evacuation of Mariehamn?" Ornoff asks

"Yes, yes I have. It is nice to have some civility in war. Perhaps this moment of sane will convince both sides to syop fighting."

"My wife, Nina was in Mariehamn, I have heard nothing from her. I hope she is well."

"I hope so too, friend."

Oulu / Lappin Line
Operation: Caste
Day 17, 1300 hrs

For seventeen days, the massive Tannenmillian force had been fighting.

For seventeen days, they rotated between falling back and eating and marching forward and fighting.

For seventeen days, no man had more than two hours' sleep.

For seventeen days, Finland was frozen Hell.

Again trundled out the large vehicles with speakers mounted, first and last seen the first day of fighting; snow falling from their tread shields and various ledges as the behemoths rumbled forward, toward the front lines. Soldiers mounted up into them and someone took the microphones on each one. All of the soldiers looked weary. A few soldiers walked around, weaponless. They stared forward at nothing, as though blind. Some of the other soldiers shouted at them to get their attention, but they just kept stumbling forward, shell shocked and reliving hell in their minds over and over yet again. As the vehicles stopped at the front lines, the soldiers began to deliver the final ultimatum.

"There has been war for seventeen days. For seventeen days, we have been urged on by our leaders to do nothing but kill. Both sides now are tired. Both sides miss their families. Both sides wish to end this bloody stalemate. If you choose to surrender, we will accept and terms of peace will be written. If you choose not to surrender, fighting will continue until the last man is dead. If you do not surrender, then the whole of Finland will be engulfed by the hellish Tannenmillian Dororsyforcæ. The ball is in your court; make your move."

With that, the Tannenmillian soldiers returned behind their lines; behind their artillery to wait for a response.

MT. ISO-SYOTE, OULU FRONT, FINLAND

Commander Petrov walked amoung his men. They were tired, bruised, and hungry. Their morale has fallen. He stood up on a crate to adress some of his men. And he also got on the radio.

"This is a sign comrades! A sign that they are beaten! A sign that they are not invincible, that they are not as mighty as they make themselves out to be.They are just as tired and hungry as we are! They want us to surrender, so that they can go home and sleep and make love to their wives. They lack the warrior spirit. We have been through much. You are all brothers to me. We can hold on, others may falter but we are not like the others. We fight, not for a cause or for political reasons. We fight to protect the lives of our friends, our comrades! To that, I say we fight! Let them do what they will. They cannot break us!"

He went on the radio with the enemy "Nuts!" he said and put it down. The men picked up their rifles and put on extra scraps of clothing. They went to their positions.

Are you offering a peace to end the war or just the fighting on the Oulu Front?

Are you offering a peace to end the war or just the fighting on the Oulu Front?

OOC: Since Reichsführer Peffe Tannen is currently overseeing the Oulu front, if he allows peace in Finland he will push for peace across Europe.
