Subject: War games

The nation of Animarnia invites the nation of Willink to participate in a War games scenario on the island of Elena just off the Animarnia coast. The war games will consist of two rounds the first will be your army attempting to take control of 4 heavily defended forts and one main base. While the second round will see our roles reverse. I believe these games will benefit both our armies and further diplomatic relations between us.

The island offers crystal blue water for swimming and colourful corals for diving or snorkelling. Local fish in the area include tarpon, jack, snook, bonefish and kingfish. If you go deeper you will go deeper you will encounter blue marlin and a group of pelicans live permanently in the area.

The abandoned small town of Ritsuko, centre of the island can be reached by air in about 50 min from the main land the island can be reached in 1 hr 20 min by boat as it is located only 3 miles from the mainland. The best feature of this oval shaped island is its beautiful natural wide white sand beach. The many tall majestic coconut palms are a true indication of fresh sweet water. A Small fort exists in the area, which for the purposes of the games will be defended. The whole island is of approximately 5miles squared has 3 waterfalls, green areas, swamps, fruit-bearing trees and virgin forests. Trees that bear Mangos, orange, coconut trees, lemons, aguacates and all manners of tropical fruits grow there.

The main beach of the island is 5200 meters across on the West Side and has gulf waterfront on the East Side. The whole island has a total sea frontage of 7.500 meters approximately in front of the sea on the West Side and about 6.000 meters inside the gulf on the East Side The island has its own fresh water. The 3 creeks and the 3 waterfalls provide crystal clear cool fresh drinking water. Wells have also been drilled to provide water at various points on the island.

The Island elevation rises as one moves away from the beach. On the hill one has excellent views of the entire island an excellent location and observation post or artillery platform Pelicans, fregates, boobies, pigeons and many other different species of birds live and breed there. Monkeys and other small animals also exist. No poisonous insects or animals that can be dangerous live on the island

The island consists of is raw and undeveloped land. A 150 feet long pier exists in the Gulf side (east) just across from the city of Gendo on the mainland. A Small Observation post exists on the East Side.

On the rest of the island there are two forts, These forts are to the south and to the east of the main base of Ritsuko.

Regards.
