Operation: Reclamation (E2: ATTN Terronian)

Reclamation (http://0301.netclime.net/1_5/S/A/Y/federalmarch.mid)

For the past month 5 separate battlegroups and a horde of transports mobilized and set sail; their destination: Australia. Amongst the war torn region one of the various governments had failed its first duty to its citizens; to provide them with security. This nation not only neglected their citizens but forcibly removed them. Images of some of the Aboriginal refugees were broadcast throughout Bjornoyan Africa. Tales of Terronain massacres and rapes of the populace infuriated the Bjornoyan Africans. The people felt an immediate connection with these refugees; humiliated, defeated, and homeless. And all of this was the fault of the oppressive white man.

The Bjornoyan Africans knew these sufferings but could not or did not take out their frustrations on a large scale against the Bjornoyan occupiers. Although the Bjornoyans conquered the region leaving the citizens with a certain loss of pride they did treat their citizens with dignity, provided them with a reasonable amount of stability, and had removed many despots from power. The Bjornoyans knew they were doing the right thing when they made their move, and they knew they would be supported by hordes of their African citizens in this move.

Bjornoya needed the help of its citizens for this undertaking to be successful. The Freemasons had manipulated Herrgott Jacksehn Hegel into convincing the Patriarch foreign assistance would be essential. The Patriarch had contacted Norwegian officials and showed them they had much to gain from this war.

To muster more support Visara Co. broadcast via radio the injustice throughout regions it was operating within Hirgizstani Africa. Hopefully gaining the support of the populace might sway the region into thinking their occupiers were not such a bad bunch after all. The scene was set, the world would view the move as another self-righteous Bjonoyan move to be a hero. They would be fighting to reclaim the land of the Aborigines, a people the native Africans could strongly relate to.

Behind the scenes an entirely different move was underway; the Bjornoyan hierarchy from Visara to the federal government knew the war was a win-win situation. The war’s timing was nearly perfect, the Great Cleansing of Africa was almost complete and if given enough time the citizens would eventually find out what happened. This war would provide a much needed distraction from what was happening in Bjornoyan Africa. A fevered recruiting attempt promising an easy victory and a chance to crush the oppressive Terronians spread throughout Bjornoyan Africa. Africans battle hardened from their recent annexation by Bjornoya would bravely enter the fray. Recruits from the more troublesome regions would be sent into the most intense fighting. Upon their return they would be greeted as heroes. This time however, they would be well equipped, well trained, and merciless.

The declaration would come as soon as the last Cossacks and 747s had landed in Wallis and Futuna or en route in Maldives or Zanzibar and the Bjornoyan battlegroups were close to the west coast of Australia. Movement of troops would be horrific, vast squadrons of transport craft were called from normal duty to assist with moving entire divisions from Africa to Australia island hopping from one insignificant little island to the next. Oil transporting vessels were transformed into army transports even before the Bjornoyan annexation of Africa began, and would help immensely. Operations would be conducted in South Australia, Kiribata, Kermadec Islands, Tuvala, Tonga, and New Caledonia.

OOC: In return for some of Terronia's land I would let you use my Joint Forces base in Australia. Naturally, I would also provide military help, as I was myself quite annoyed with Terronia over the whole Aborigine thing, and I realise many people in Africa, throughout both our nations, would not be pleased, to say the least.

ooc: we definetly need to talk with Cot, he offered part of South Australia but I don't think I could hold it. I'd be happy to participate militarily down there but the claim would put me over. I could however take some of his useless islands in the Pacific.
Hirgizstan

OOC: I could take the claim for you and then, if you give a small part of it to me, I'd give you at least 3/4 whenever your ready to.

Norwegian-Terronian border, 0330 AM

All along the border, artillery, tanks and artillery had been gathering all week long, partially in anticipation for this campaign. It all culminated to this point in time when 7 of the 12 heavy artillery battalions of the 3th Army positioned along the border opened fire simultaniously. All in all, along the border, a total of 1125 M8A1 155mm Targa self-propelled howitzers, 3078 M777A2 155mm lightweight towed howitzers, 396 M270A2 MLRS and 918 M142A2 HIMARS units opened fire at Terronian border protection units. In addition came the heavy artillery in form of 63 M21A1 203mm Valkyrie self-propelled howitzers. They all fired their lethal payload onto enemy positions, lighting up the night. The howitzers had a range of 30 kilometers, and being only 6 kilometers from the border, they could hit positions well within the Terronian border. The MLRS and HIMARS systems could do even better. Firing M30A1 rockets, they could and would hit Terronian targets sixty kilometers away from the border.

At the same time, armored units started moving up. For this campaign, five armored brigades would be employed. Each of the brigades had a lot of highly modern and advanced equipment, for instance the M39A1 Mekhev II (OOC: ST-39K1 Mehkev II) next-generation battle tank, of which each brigade had 324. They also had IFVs and CFVs, and helicopters. In addition to the armored fist, fifteen Infantry Brigades, twelve Para Regiments, the seven Artillery Battalions and three Combat Engineer Regiments would be deployed.

From the Air Force, EF-177A Coldun SEAD fighters and FB-177A Barsuk fighterbombers protected by F-63K Tengriy definate air superiority fighters moved in to bomb defensive positions and air defense sites. The EF-177As locked onto any active air defense radar and fired an or two AGM-88H AARGM Block II at them. If that wasn't enough, a few cruise missiles ought to do it.

After a bombardment of half an hour, the 1620 M39A1 Mekhev IIs had crossed into Terronian territory and moved quickly down the border, attacking enemy positions with their powerful 120mm ETC cannons, top-mounted twin 30mm automatic cannons, coaxial 20mm autocannons and 12.7x99mm turret-mounted weapons. They were escorted by M11A3 Viking CFVs armed with 30mm chainguns and TOW missiles, while the infantry made up the rear guard. The artillery packed up and followed the armored units, sustaining the momentum. That, along with AH-92B Stalker gunships flying ahead, scouting and softening up enemy units should show the Terronians that the Norwegians meant business.

The Hirgizstanian Airmen, Sailors, Marines and Soldiers stationed on the coast of New South Wales, up near the boundary of Queensland (OOC: Hope its ok to have my base there, we never really talked about location), were taken completely by surprise by the announcement that hostitlies had commenced again Terronian.

Some of the soldiers from Africa whooped and cheered at the news broadcasts, beaming back grainy images of war from the dusty planes to the West. The Asians and Russians looked on, rather emotionless, just wondering whether they would get a chance to join in the action.

As if on cue a klaxon sounded somewhere on the base and the media room emptied quickly.

Men ran hastily back to their quarters and checked in with their Duty Officers, something was happening.

Out in the waters off New South Wales the 4th Fleet was already setting sail, running down the coast, ready for a jaunt around Tasmania and then a move up toward the Terronian Coast. Pride of place was reserved for the two Missouri Class battleships that sat proudly in the mass of ships, daring even to make an Improved Nimitz Class Carrier look small.

The coast of Terronian would be shattered rock within minutes if the imrpoved 25inch Guns were allowed to open up on the coast, supplemented by the 18inch guns on the two Iowa Class Battleships, travelling with the Fleet.

OOC: Wait so are you invading all of him?
Bjornoya
04-02-2006, 05:26
ooc: If he quits yes, if not he's got New Caledonia which is obviously an excellent staging ground for starting a world empire.
Pushka
04-02-2006, 05:30
OOC: Aight, i'll take New Caledonia then. You guys are seriously screwing with my plans, oh well.

IC:

President: This situation with Terronian is developing quickly, we can't just stand by and watch how those bastards from TOA and their new found lackie Bjornya devide up what should be ours. We will take New Caledonia and give it to Turetel to promote better relations. I order 9 Flotillas and 4 submarine units from the Arctic fleet to advance towards New Caledonia. Also dispatch some of our T-0 bombers, this is exactly the kind of warfare they were made for.

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

Official Message to the World

We wish to join in the effort to decapitate the tyranical Terronian Empire. I have ordered a sufficient naval force to be sent to take the island of New Caledonia.
Bjornoya
04-02-2006, 05:35
ooc: I don't think you understood me, if he's gonna stay he can have New Caledonia otherwise my forces will take it.
Pushka
04-02-2006, 05:52
OOC: I don't think you understood me, i am taking New Caledonia. And since your capitol is in a half a day's march range for my forces you should really consider letting it go.
Bjornoya
04-02-2006, 06:25
ooc: I do not take threats lightly Pushka I will not be bullied. I know several powerful nations will not think kindly of Russian expansion especially in the Pacific. This is my operation mind you. How exactly do you plan to beat my forces to New Caledonia when I'm right next door?
Furthermore we seem to be forgetting Terronian does have a say in what is going on, if he wants to defend his land he still can, he only mentioned S. Australia. If he quits this operation was meant to seize his Pacific territories if possible so technically I claimed them first.
Pushka
04-02-2006, 06:36

*The islands maintain there original cities and landmarks*

Cigar smoke rose freely and filled the Duchy Bunker deep underground below the Terronian Central Command building. Inside, The Grand Duchy of Terronian, assuming his role as Commander of the Armed Forces was meeting with his top Generals and advisors. There was general Pinata, Commander of the Terronian Cadet Force (TCF). General Zhukov, Commander of the Terronian Ground Defense Force (TGDF)-Army. General Madzukit, Commander of the Terronian Air Defense Force. Admiral Urganj Supreme Admiral of the Terronian Maritime Defense Force (TMDF), as well as his underlings, Comdant Rolan (Head of Maritime Defense Force Marines) and Comdant Sciloski (Head of Coast Guard). As well as the high brass generals, there was also, countless advisors, and Deputys from he House of Deputys. Each one rambling about there plans to repel the invaders. Thus far, they had only decided on 3 things.

1.Fortify the Tango Line
2.Send Armys to Defend both Copovintalagrad & Cinigrad to defend them.
3.Serious Earthworks on the Islands.

The main argument however arose from, who should defend the Tango Line. The squablinh continues until General Pinata tap his glass of water, a signal in Terronian custom meaning, "I wish to Speak", the others quieted down as Pinata spoke.

"Duchy, I propose the Cadet Force pick up the burden of fortifying the Tango Line."

The proclamation was met with stunned silence from the entire room, Pinata, cleared his throat and talked again.

"These, foriegners, are too soft, they get angered by the massacre of a few, unimportant indians, so, they will have no drive to fight Cadets, besides, the Cadet Force has the some of the longest range artillery in the world. I say, send the cadets to hold the Tango Line, maybe a few marines from the TMDF, and a TGDF Division, hold the Tango Line, Fall Back, and Rolling Thunder to a select location in which we will completley destroy the enemy."

The silence continued, then an old advisor began to speak.

"Are you mad, sending cadets, kids, adolescants aged 13 to 18 to, to, be the first, in ba......"

He was cut off by The Grand Duchy who began to clap his hands.

"The plan is brilliant, brilliant, in every way. You see gentleman, if any of you did time to research the Cadet Force, you will no of Rolling Thunder, a strategy, my dear friend Pinata himself designed, you see, Cadets, do not have the same fighting prowess as adults, so Rolling Thunder was invented, it invloved picking a highly elevated piece of land, and setting up Gvods(Extreme Long Distance Artillery exclusive to Cadet Force), and pummeling the enemy, as the enemy gets closer, the genius is, these artillery pieces can be set up in mere minutes, we just move the artillery back, and continue firing, no break of artillery from a marching army. He made it, so Cadets can avoid combat.

So, this is the plan, Pinata!"

General Pinata quickly rose from his seat and stood at attention.

"Send your best cadet units to defend the Tango Line, when the enemy bairs on them to the point of overtaking, retreat South and commence Rolling Thunder to this location here."

The Duhcy pointed on a spot between San Juno and Copovintalagrad.

"Breaking through the Tango Line will be hard work for there troops, then marching days through Rolling Thunder will take a toll, finally, we get them at this location, and our forces in San Juno and Copovintalagrad, surround and destroy. We may be able to drive the enemy back from the West Alone with 1 Army and a few Cadet Legions. leaving the rest if our Armies to proceed Southward and defend the coast. Rolan!

Comdant Rolan stood as Pinata sat.

"Do we have any Marine units close to the Tango line?"

"No sir, but I have a Division training on the Southern Tail of Cozny Lake, they can get there in less then 4 hours."

"Good, send that division immediatly, to the Tango Line, rendevouz with the Cadet Defenders, thats way, as well as Rolling Thunder, we can have a Combat ready Marine Division in the area, just in case. Now then as for the islands, population for themselves, its South Australia we have to defend here boys, besides, thos Islanders are supreme loyalist, they should raise in arm to defend there islands, administer weapons and supplies to the islands, if they are conquered, tough, if they can be defended, plus for us, Urganji!"

Admiral Uganji rose as Rolan sat

"How many fleets in Port Kildrog?"

"2 Sir, the Southern Fleet and Aeger Fleet, also, the Kestral fleet is nearby at Alexi Durevilo Naval Base".

"Good, have those fleets patrol the coast, I want these bombardments to stop".

The Duchy took a smoke of his cigar and blew it out, waving his hand as all the members rose. He saluted, palm out, as they followed and exited the room off to perform there dutys, but, before he could leave, General Madzukit, was grabbed by Dimitri Tabolov, who began to speak.

"You are extremely important right now, if I have one card to play in this war, its you, the TADF is one of, if not, the strongest Air Force in the world, and I want that to hold, you maintain air superiority over the Tango Line, and the coast, keeps bombers away from our big citys, I know you can do it, our pilots and planes are unmatched, you are dismissed."

They both saluted, as he Madzukit left the room.

What is the Tango Line?

The tango line is a series of defense networks, bunkers, walls, mines, towers, and 3 fortresses, built in 1932 when Terronian was gaining independece. It is not, a continious structure, but a system that intwines with the landscape for defense. it is constantly upgraded by the Terronian Military.

The Tanog line is composed of 5 primary structures

Fortresses
There are 3 heavily defended fortresses along the Tango Wall, Farbanti, Cruick, and Ducha, a Fortress is a large circuler walled base, in the middle is a large battery of artillery, fortresses are heavily defended with small artillery, machine guns, and helicopter Squadrons.

Batterys
Large concrete buildings housing anywhere from 1 to 3 artillery pieces.

Pillboxes
Strewn in great number along the Tango Line

Towers
Large 25ft Observation Towers, numerous, usually house 1 Machine Gun and 2 crew members.
This tower is built on a cliff face (http://s134542708.websitehome.co.uk/pillboxes/assets/images/db_images/db_craister11.jpg)

Close Defenses
These are Dragons teeth, barbed wire, trenches, and any other small, close defenses.

Alice Springs, Northern Territory
Information kept flowing into the Norwegian area headquarters in Alice Springs, where large basements filled with supercomputers ensured that there was enough processing power for the units to operate on the so-called "digital battlefield." All the units involved showed up on a large digital map in the war room where every move was planned and analyzed. Real-time intelligence from around-the-clock satellite surveilance and UAVs also came in here and was distributed to the fighting units via encrypted datalinks. It allowed the Norwegians to have a full overview at all times, and thus allowing them to keep several steps ahead of the enemy at all times. Right now, that intelligence showed Terronian units moving to defend the cities of Cinigrad and Copovintalagrad. There was also a large defensive line which the intelligence claimed was called the Tango line. It ran across the western side of the country and consisted of large defensive positions. A good strategy when it was created, but not so much now. The commanding officer of the 3rd Army, Generalløytnant Wallace looked at the situation and smiled. Four brigades were attacking the northwestern part of the country, supported by one heavy artillery battalion, while the rest were concentrating on the relatively undefended eastern parts.

"Have the ninth corps attack San Salvaken while the second and fifth attack Cinigrad. Land paras near San Valso, and start a missile strike against Copovintalagrad. Let them know that we're serious. Prepare the reserve formations for action."

"Yes sir." the junior officer answered.

"Oh, one more thing."

"Sir?"

"Shoot down any Terronian aircraft that reach the skies."

"Yes sir." the officer said grinning. His comrades in the Air Force would have a very good day indeed.

Somewhere over South Australia
"Warning. Warning. SAM. SAM." the RWR said in its neutral feminine voice, causing the pilot to drop even more chaff and flares to confuse the enemy radar and start a hefty manouver. The EF-177A was loaded with weapons, giving away its limited stealth, but it was still damned fast and manouverable.

"Dan, get a lock and take that bastard out!" he called to the weapons officer behind him. The man quickly plotted the radar, locked the jammers on it, then uploaded the location to the AGM-88H AARGM Block II in the weapons bay behind him. The missile acknowledged the target and was released a second afterwards. It climbed, gained speed and flew straight to the target, a SAM radar.

The EF-177As were SEAD fighters, responsible for supressing enemy air defenses and allowing for the friendly aircraft to fly relatively safely over the battlefield. A total of 62 of them were flying over the northern parts of South Australia, shooting AARGMs at enemy SAM sites and other mobile installations.

The large Terronian radar sites were targetted by MGM-203A Imsdal SCRAMJET cruise missile sites deep inside Australia. The missiles, which each was armed with a 544kg Advanced Unitary Penetrator warhead had a range of up to 1600 kilometers and a speed of Mach 7 in its terminal phase, making it damned close to impossible to destroy. A total of three Imsdals were fired on each radar site, while MGM-203B Imsdals loaded with 240 BLU-123C Improved Incendiary Submunitions were fired at all Terronian airports. Each Imsdal-B had a blast radius of 200,000 square meters, sufficient to completely destroy an airport, its facilities and any aircraft and personell within the blast radius. Even the most advanced aircraft in the world couldn't withstand a 5000°C fireball, and that was exactly what would hit every airfield in Terronian very soon. Launch sites in the desert in the southern parts of Northern Territory fired missile upon missile, while airborne B-7C Incubus heavy bombers from the Strategic Air Command fired missiles as well. All in all, thousands of missiles streaked into Terronian.


Outside San Salvaken
The first ground units had crossed the Simpson Desert with little trouble and now stood on the outskirts of the city. Enemy organized resistance here was expected to be low, but the Norwegians were taking no chances. An armored brigade and two Infantry Brigades were here now along with a Heavy Artillery Battalion, making up the Norwegian Ninth Corps. Three fighter squadrons with a total of 54 F-63K Tengriy fighters supplemented the ground air defenses, while two attack squadrons of 36 A-10D Thunderbolt IIs and two tactical strike squadrons of 36 FB-177A Barsuk fighterbombers moved over the area to assist with close air support. The loadout of the aircraft was as follows:

F-63K Tengriy
AIM-9X Sidewinder: 6
AIM-120D AMRAAM: 11
AIM-204B Dødsengel: 4

A-10D Thunderbolt II
AIM-9X Sidewinder: 2
AGM-214B Hellfire III: 3
Hydra-70 Pods [19 rockets/pod]: 2
GBU-12 Paveway II: 4

FB-117A Barsuk
Mark-82 Mod 5 Slick: 25
GBU-12 Paveway II: 14
AIM-120D AMRAAM: 4

The aircraft engaged any incoming aircraft and ground units from afar while the ground units maintained their advance. Infantry were preparing to dismount to fight, checking their AG6A2 assault rifles and equipment. The M11A3 Viking CFVs were preparing to fire their TOWs at enemy vehicles, while the mightly Mekhev II tanks engaged any enemy tanks with their 120mm ETC cannons. IFVs and other lightly armored vehicles were attacked with the 30mm automatic cannons and chainguns on the tanks and fighting vehicles, while M14A1 Gepard air defense vehicles opened fire on low-flying enemy aircraft with their 35mm cannons and M11A4 Viking air defense vehicles fired FIM-210B Improved Starstreak air defense missiles at the enemy. AH-92B Stalker helicopters fired 699mm rockets at enemy positions and fired their lethal 30mm autocannon while jamming enemy frequencies and radars as best they could. All Norwegian aircraft used flares and chaff extensively.

As the artillery came within range, they stopped and immediately started to shell the city and its defenders. M8A1 Tagras fired 155mm high-explosive shells at the city, targetting important defensive positions. The M777A2 LW-155s fired their own 155mm shells at defensive positions closer to the friendly units, while the MLRS and HIMARS fired M26 rockets filled with submunitions at the enemy units. A lethal steel rain hit the enemy. The battle for San Salvaken had commenced.

OOC: Let's take this one city at the time, shall we?

The 4th Fleet had almost reached Tasmania by the mid-afternoon. Sokol's (SB made jets, replaced F-14D) flew over the entire fleet, ensuring enemy planes were not going to get through easily.

The anchors were wayed a few hours later, 37 miles south of Tasmania. The Torrent Class Arsenal Ships, SSBN's and Ticonderoga Class Cruisers moved slightly away from the rest of the fleet. They wayed anchor and began to prep the decks for Cruise Missile launches. Back inside the Fleet the four battleships were also prepping their Cruise Missile launchers.

At 1700 hours exactly the first of 500 BGM-109 Tamohawk Cruise Missiles were fired, it took almost two hours for the entire volley to lift off, creating a gigantic man-made mist around the 4th Fleet's ships, obscuring them from view in the evening gloom. 350 of the BGM-109's were conventional 1000lb HE warheads. The rest were Cluster Bomblets, designed to inflict a maximum spread of damage over several targets.

150 Coventional Warheads, and 100 Cluster Bomb Missiles were flying straight toward the famed 'Tango' line, one of Terronian's defensive structures stretching inland from the southern coast. 100 more 1000lb Warheads were directed at targets in Port Kilddrog, directed at ships at anchor and structures at the Naval Base there (OOC: I'm assuming you have on there, as its fairly strategic). One hundred more conventional 1000lb warheads were flying all the way up through the plains of Southern Australia, toward military targets in and around Cinigrad, followed by 50 Cluster Bomb warheads to achieve a spread of damage.

The 4th Fleet moved off to another position, now around 50 Miles south of Tasmania, the submarines patrolling out around the fleet.

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

Back near New South Wales the Hirgizstanian 5th and 15th Armies (20 Corps) were prepping wildly at the sprawling city-size base. Tanks were lined up and soldiers were busy drilling and getting equipment ready.

At another corner of the base the 5th Air Wing (Army Aviation) was prepping its thousands of helicopters, ready to ferry soldiers into the heat of battle at a moment's notice.

And in yet another vast, flat area the 3rd Heavy Armoured Corps (5th and 6th Heavy Armoured Divisions) were rolling out their tanks, the HAD troops were piling into and out of APC's, drilling heavily for any eventuality that might occur. During the night they would move out toward Terronian. In a few days the first units would cross the border, hot on the heels of the Norwegian forces already moving quickly into Terronia.

Tuvalu (http://0302.netclime.net/1_5/865916/1139087205_18343/March1.mid)

The 9th Bjornoyan Federal Battlegroup dispersed to secure this region almost immediately while the 11th stayed behind to safeguard Wallis and Futuna. By a strange twist of fate a group of Bjornoya’s elite Arctic Foxes had been stationed in Bjornoyan Wallis and Futuna after being transferred while en route to explore Antarctica. Bored as hell the Foxes were elated when they heard Bjornoya was at war with Terronian. The troops had spent countless hours training, patrolling, and parading, they were itching for action. Of the 2,000 stationed on the island 1,500 were dispatched to secure Tuvalu, only a few hours boat-ride away. Escorted by 9th Battlegroup the Foxes arrived off the coast of Nukulalae. A few miles off the coast Bjornoyan MHCs and MHOs were wary of traps and spent a good time sweeping before the bombardment occurred. The Bismark II class let loose a light but highly concentrated barrage on the islands of Nukulalae targeting the uninhabited volcano peaks that were in the middle of the islands. A blazing inferno danced upon the tops of the islands for all to see, a clear message to the inhabitants. Harrier II’s streaked through the sky waiting for a hostile site to be confirmed by the Foxes.

During the chaos the Arctic Foxes would move in with their specially designed landing craft. Lightening fast and easily maneuverable the crafts would make landfall along the beaches bordering the islands’ primary ports. The Foxes were not only armed with the best weapons Bjornoya had to offer but also their crafts were equipped with loud speaker systems and minor amount of anti-rioting gear. Upon landfall the Foxes broadcast a brief and repeating message to each island they landed upon in Nukulalae, “Bear arms against us and perish in a sea of flames. Your islands will be reduced to ruble. If you value your homes and your families surrender.”

And by God the Foxes hoped they wouldn’t surrender.

New Caledonia (http://0302.netclime.net/1_5/865918/1139087251_12813/turmoil2.mid)

The battle hardened 4th Federal Peacekeeping division escorted by the 2nd Bjornoyan Federal Battlegroup prepared itself for landfall. The fleet spent an excessively long time searching and avoiding mines left by the treacherous Macabees during their brief stay in the area. Aside from that the entire island was naturally protected by a giant coral reef. This left very little options for where the Bjornoyan could land and the efficiency of their naval support. The landing craft would make their way through a small opening in the reef and after a thorough barrage seize the city of Kaumac to the north and secure its harbor. After securing the harbor the Federal Peacekeepers would be able to land their vehicles and other machinery. This would begin so long as there was no Terronian naval problems.

The assault would be spearheaded by Dark Brigade, a loyal bunch composed entirely of Bjornoyan Equatorial Guineans. The brigade, almost 2,000 strong, fought exclusively within the coastal region of Gabon and the Congo and was well prepared for the task at hand. Using the same landing craft as their comrades in Tuvalu they hoped to find little resistance in the scarcely populated northern region of the island.

The 7th and 3rd Federal Peacekeeping Division would make their way to South Australia. The 7th Federal Peacekeeping Division would assist their Hirgizstani and Norwegian allies on the mainland. The 3rd Federal Peacekeeping Division was tasked with seizing South Point Island. Getting through the Terronian Navy in the region was a foreseeable problem. Although huge the Bjornoyan battlegroups were protecting hordes of vulnerable soldiers to be used on land. Hopefully the Bjornoyan fleet could make quick work of this problem. As soon as the waters were entirely secure the Federal Peacekeepers would make landfall.

"This is Tettanya Jumokili Tertonovich, reporting live for TNN (Terronian News Network). As you see behind me, 2 Divisions of Terronian Marines have began entering the city of San Salveken, every second are so, the boom of artillery can be heard from the enemy pounding the city, killing innocent civilian Terronian lifes. As you can also see when we move the camera, a Division of the TGDF, are positioning themselves on a high hill, the Mut Kyrgen inside the city, which should gie them command visability throughout, the city"

Outskirts of San Salvaken-Yellow Marine Division

Comdant Tartovsky was looking of the plans of the city of San Salvaken, at the same time, marking buildings deemed, unescasary, for destruction or barriers in the upcoming battle. His plans were simple, house to house fighting, the Terronians knew the city better then they did, and it would give them an advantage, another huge advantage would the Cozny Lake Defense, 3 Destroyers deployed from Tabolov City, they positioned them selfes in Cozny Lake behind San Salvaken, ready to bombard the enemy forces. At the same time, various air wings, had converged on the area, ready for the first showdown with the enemy forece. After a 3 beep countdown, the Destroyers opened fire on the enemy forces entering the city.


Tango Line
Cadet Comdant Alex Turnotov of 16 of age, was sitting his his bunker looking over at the field before him. He could hear the cadets in the bunker to his right laughing at a joke one of them had said. Alex, picked up a pack of cigerettes and pulled one out, and began smoking. Smoking was outlawed to Cadets but being an officer had its advantages, his bunker partner, Cadet/Basic Georgy Zazibon of 15 slid in after using the bunkers left wall to relieve himself. He took his position, behind the 2nd machine gun and began scanning the area. Above them, the sounds of jet einges flew over, a sign that the TADF was there and that they should not worry. Alex opened his mouth to talk when the large sound of artillery stopped him. Georgy jumped and gripped his machine gun scanning the horizon.

"Enough you fool, the enemy approuching from the west must be close enough, we are firing on them." said Alex.

Georgy relaxed and loosened his grip on the gun, waited a few secons, then completley let go. He motioned with his fingers to borrow a cigerette from Alex, who agreed and stuck out the box...

The russian armada was about half way to the Pacific as the news that Bjornyans has started their attack reached the Russian high command. Minding the future plans an order was issued for the armada to reach the pacific isles and wait in the international waters until another order was issued. Additional Peperbox supply ships were sent to catch up with fleet and extend the waiting time, with these supplies russian forces could wait at sea for months. Let the fools slaughter themselves, the force of justice would wait and lay claim to what rightfully belongs to the Russian federation once the opponents have exhausted each other.

The Empire hereby announces its support for the nation of Bjornoya in their conquest at New Caledonia and other islands. The Empire is wary of the incoming Russian fleet and advises all nations within the area to be as alert and wary as we are.

OOC: Eh, just one thing Terronian. I think you misunderstood. I fired 3 cruise missiles on each of your radar stations (those stations are static, IE not moving). I also fired at least two Imsdal-Bs at each of your air force base. Now, those have an accuracy of 95 percent, meaning that they hit their target 95 out of 100 times. You may have shot down one or ten, but you should still have more casualties than 3 radar stations, 8 fighters and 148 troops. I may have been a bit vauge when writing it, if I were, I'm sorry, but you should still have way higher caualties than that.

San Salvaken
The advance continued. The tanks were starting to take incoming fire, from what seemed to be... no, that couldn't be right. Destroyers? What the fuck?

"Someone get on the horn to the Air Force! Have them take out those fucking destroyers!"

"Did you say destroyers?" a voice said over the communications.

"Yes, a fucking destroyer! No wait! Holy shit, there's three of them!" the tank commander said. The message spread across the battlefield untill it reached the attention of a flight of A-10Ds overhead. He banked his attack jet right and hit the deck, preparing the two Hellfire IIIs and his trusty GAU-8/A Avenger 30mm gatling gun. The laser-guided Hellfires were locked on the lead destroyer and fired from maximum range. While they flew, the pilot and his wingman took one of the remaining destroyers each and flew short and fast, trying to avoid the radar of the destroyer while dropping chaff and flares like crazy. It was hoped that it would confuse both the radar of the destroyers and the missiles it might fire. When they got to 3000 meters out, they started to shoot their Avengers, spewing hundreds of 30mm incendiary depleted uranium shells at the enemy ships. They were certain to penetrate whatever armor the enemy had and set the ships ablaze, hopefully sinking them.

Meanwhile, the advancing troops stopped and fell back to a position where they could shell the enemy city to smithereens. They had taken some casualties, a few Vikings had been knocked out and a few Nelson APCs destroyed with their dismounts killed. The first casualties of the war. A few wounded soldiers were being airlifted back to a field hospital 7 kilometers behind the front, where doctors and nurses were standing by. The artillery was taking up position, and incendiary bombs were loaded onto fighterbombers. In thirty minutes, San Salvaken would be a fiery inferno.

In the skies overhead, F-63K Tengriys picked up incoming enemy aircraft and targetted their AIM-204B Dødsengels at them. The Dødsengel was an extreme-range air to air missile with a range of more than 200 kilometers. It was fast, lethal and had fire-and-forget technology, and each Tengriy (there were 54 of them overhead) carried four of them. Locking on one missile per incoming aircraft, each Tengriy unleashed their deadly missiles on the incoming enemies and prepared to go to medium range with their advanced AMRAAMs. They would be the main air defense units along with the ground-based units. MIM-211 Salt and MIM-120 SLAMRAAM air defense sites would be in the area soon.

OOC:The Terronian Air Defense Force is Terronian strongest branch, and is one of the biggest Air Forces in the world, plus, since its my country, I naturally already have air spperiority, I am just saying this, because your planes seem to be bombing things quit easily.

The bombers rocked the TNS Astoka the lead Cozny Destroyer, her hull was hit, as a hole erupted which quickly filled with water. Flames erupted out of it, as sogging wet sailors which had been in the lower decks where doing there best to extinguish the flames by scooping the water quickly filling the ship with there hands or buckets and throwing at the flames, and a few who had salvaged fire extinguishers. Seeing it was no good, the sailors began swimming toward the stairs and quickly climbing up to the deck, which had been hit in the front. The ship was clearly going down. The remaining seamen on the deck where manning the AA Machine Guns and doing there best to shoot the screaming enemy jets over head. On land a battery of JAKOW Sky Hunters (BM Model AA Tanks) where firing, as there missiles streaked in the sky.

The 10 Marines stationed on the ship had no aspects of fighting, instead they had began deploying a collapsable life boat, and as the seamen saw what they were doing, they quickly followed, as more were quickly deployed. The small armada of lifeboats, began drifting toward land, and friendly units while sialors and Marines, fired there rifles into the air. The ship, smoking began to descend as the hole, filled more, causing the ship to roll, and turn upside down until the bottom was now exposed. Her tail filled with water quicker and slowly she tilted, before finally sinking. The men on the lifeboats all stood and saluted as the ship went down, a TMDF custom, until the last bit of her metal hull had dissapeared into the unrelenting lake.

Back on land, the survivors were being dragged from there ships, and those who were not injured, were quickly given supplies and a weapon and issued to a unit, as they continued to enter the city. Over head, the TADF 5th Wing had finally arrived and with support of the 2 destroyers below, engaged the target, while a seperate Squadron drifted from the main group to get control of the city, as well as to straf a few unguarded units entering the city.

Meeting the Cotland forces was a small rag-tag bunch of civilians, men women and children, formed in a line, armed with baseball bats, civilian firearms, and IED's. An older man in the front in an old outdated military BDU and holding a yellow flag with the seal of the city cajoled the civilians, who began charging the Cotland forces, screaming, and yelling, "For the Fatherland!".

New Caledonia

Richard Prica, a foriegner, living on New Caledonia, looked out over the sea with concern, he was elected by the island council and the people of New Caledonia to command and establish a defense force. A huge turnout came to sign up, and in the end, the total number was 4,120 Men, 532 Boys, most of the boys, signing up with there fathers, or friends. They selected a flag, which a local weaver quickly made, a large blue flag, representing the ocean, a red star in the upper right hand corner, representing the Terron Nation, and in the middle a green plot the shape of there island with a large fish on it. They new, due to reefs, landing on there island would be hard for any force, they quickly spotted the 3 most likely landing points, and began digging trenches and spike pits, an old tactic yes, but on an island like this, they worked quite well. Many of the people who had signed up, where island natives, who have had generations live on the islands, and would not see it in the hands of a nation who wanted direct control of them. the Terron nation has passed the occasional bill or two, but for the most part, had left the islands to there own devices, which suited them fine.

The rag-tag force, some of which had military experience, where issued out of date, M-38 Military Rifles, outdated yes and no where near as good as the Rifle Systems used by the TGDF, but could match an AK-74. They were ready for a showdown.

"Sir, look!" the soldier called to his officer. He lay in the sand with his AG6A2 rifle trained on the advancing mass of people along with the rest of his company. A total of 160 well-trained soldiers lay in the sand, training their weapons at the advancing mass of people in their sector. "Sir, they're civilians! What do we do?"

"Do they have weapons?"

"Yes sir."

"Do they look like they intend to fight?"

"Yes sir."

"Then private, they are not civilians but enemy combatants. Not enemy soldiers, but enemy combatants, and you will kill them. Do you understand!?"

"Yes sir!" the soldier cried out as he started opening fire. Following his example, the rest of the soldiers started shooting their weapons. The AG6A2s were set to single shot while the MG49A1 light machine guns fired short five-round bursts at incoming groups of people. They were laying flat on the sand with M18A1 Nelson APCs behind them, equipped with MG26A2 heavy machine guns which also started to open fire. Heavy 12.7x99mm rounds from the MG26 and lighter but still deadly lethal 6.8x43mm rounds from the AG6s and MG49s slammed into the crowd, mowing them down. Meanwhile, some of the enemy combatants returned fire, hitting a few soldiers. Fortunately, the NCS Mark III armor could stop incoming rounds of calibers up to 7.62 NATO, so the casualties were few.

In the air, the A-10Ds were taking incoming rounds, but they still pressed on, manouvering like crazy and squeezing off bursts from the 30mm cannon while dropping chaff and flares. Then, one of the A-10s took a missile in its engine compartment, leaving the pilot little option than to eject. However, due to the low altitude, his chute never deployed and he smashed into the water in a deadly 190 kilometers per hour. He died instantly, never having felt any pain. The second A-10 saw this and decided it was time to get the hell out of Dodge. He dropped his last chaff and flares and cranked the lever to max, moving quickly out of the area. When he landed, he would find out that several bullets had hit the cockpit area, but thanks to the titanium armor around it, no bullet had penetrated.

In the air, the air battle still raged. A total of 216 Dødsengels had been fired and now it was time for the AMRAAMs. With each plane carrying 11, a total of 594 would be available for the fight, with the Tengriys still having 324 AIM-9X Sidewinders and their 30mm cannons for the fight. As they came within range, the Tengriys climbed to 50,000 feet and fired AMRAAMs at the incoming aircraft from 65 nautical miles out, then used the supercruise to come within range for the Sidewinders and start some serious dogfighting. The dogs of war had been released, and they cried havoc!

AZIM, AZIMETH

Hofstria stood at the podium, his palms sweating and his hair in a gruffled mess. He tapped the microphone and cleared his throat, then took a large gulp of his glass of water. The press room seemed to stifle themselves before his powerful figure, and with the Azimethian flag in the background, a bright light turned red at his desk for news stations to begin preparation for the speech. The light turned to green, and Hofstria took a gigantic breath of air.

"Good evening. By tonight, you have all heard of the coming war to the borders of the colonies of Azimeth by Terronian refugees and hundreds of spottings of Norwegian, Bjornayan and Hirgizstandi soldiers waging war across Southern Australia. To end this war quickly and with swift resolution, the constitutional monarchy is united in its determination to use all necessary measures in support of freedom and in defensive peace of Southern Australia. The royal legislature and the senate of the free have passed a resolution to bring Azimeth and all of its colonies...to war against the nation of Terronia.

I have ordered that the entire military begin preparations to launch ampihibious invasions to the South, to secure a unified beach head that will link the colony of Victoria to our other colony of Western Australia. This will include aircraft and naval maneuvers on the southern coast of Australia, and General Idalo, a veteran of the "Operation Footprint" war against Terronia, is organizing efforts to support this large-scale fight. Recent messages have all been sent to the Norwegian, Hirgizstandi and Bjornayan government to help us in our objective and to push the genocidal Terronians out of Southern Australia, and to return the continent into peace. We intend to stop at nothing short of an unconditional Terronian surrender.

In light of this recent war, our economy will change drastically. I have made special provisions to cut tax rates in half, send over 15% of our national budget to the poor and needy and lower natural gas and oil prices to an all-time low in Azimethian history. Although this war will be brutal and terrible, it will provide a light for all Australian natives and citizens to look back on, so that they may remember how their nation was saved from a tyrannical government by a coalition of freedom-loving nations." Ended the King, who sighed and looked around the room, which was bursting into chatter. "Now if I could, I'd like to answer some questions." He spoke, and the room grew silent as reporters began to ask questions about Hofstria's new plan.

PACIFIC OCEAN, SOUTH OF AUSTRALIA

"No one wants this piece of land, the Terronians just put a God damn airfield on it. We've been bombing it to shit and back all week, but to no avail." Said Idalo, who was looking at a map on a table aboard the ANS Azim, the flagship and combat-awarded aircraft carrier of the "Operation Footprint" war. The crew had seen their fair share of engagements, and in a few hours it would be no different. Thousands of men from the 1st - 20th Azimethian infantry divisions and others from the 1st and 3rd Guard divisions would be hitting the shore of "Beach Green" in southern Australia, with the entire infantry force being spearheaded by Azimeth's finest, the 2nd Guards Infantry. Soon after, the 1st, 5th and 9th Airborne divisions would be landing behind Beach Green to secure the flanks from Terronian counterattack. After the beach had been secured, the tanks would move ashore and the entire Azimethian army would push east, securing a large beach head in the Terronian belly and linking their Southern Australia and Victoria colonies together.

"Where the hell are those B-96s?" Asked Idalo, again. A fat colonel opposite from him pointed up as large pecilular looking aircraft flew overhead and flew towards Beach Green. Upon appraoch, all 120 of them dropped their GBU-99 guided bombs onto the Terronian bunkers and emplacements, their stealth capabilities hopefully warding away any anti-aircraft measures the Terronian could muster.

"Sir, we've been pounding the hell out of that beach for 2 weeks. Do you think they're still there?" Asked the colonel. The General stood up and sat at the aft of the ship, enjoying a smoke.

"They won't be showing their faces until those boys hit the beach. These Terronians better know what they're doing, because I'm planning on wiping this land off the face of the earth."

Also, my AIM-204Bs are identical to Layartebs AIM-202 (http://www.theforsakenoutlaw.com/Nation-States/LDC/Weaponry/aim202.htm) (joint development). Check the specs and you'll see why you should have way higher casualties (unless that's all you have in the area).

The first few island strings dropped like flies much to the disappointment of the Arctic Foxes. For each island they took a token force of about 80 soldiers was left behind to baby-sit until the Federal Peacekeepers arrived and relieved them of their tedious duty.

From Nukulalae the island hopping would continue for as long as they needed to. Hopefully the entire region could be secured within the week and they could move on to more important targets.

New Caledonia

From their hastily produced trenches the islanders would see a vast fleet off the coast, almost as large as the ones that engulfed the region nearly a year before. A few sparks from the ship’s main guns would be followed by soft squealing sounds that intensified until the shells landed just beyond their position within the foliage setting the jungle ablaze. There would be no escaping.

After about 15 minutes 8 Seahawks swooped over the island radioing what they could see of the island defenses. The city of Kaumac and its surrounding beaches would be the Dark Brigades’ first objective. Within ten minutes of the Seahawks’ appearance the landing craft would arrive.

Almost flying across the water the Highland class amphibious assault craft launched themselves onto the beachheads. The front hatches opened releasing about 40 vengeful and merciless Africans a piece. The driver would quickly leave his post and ascend to the top of the craft, turning it into a slightly elevated HK MG-43 machinegun post. They would provide cover for their comrades leading the assault.

The island defenders had some initial success in holding the line, but the in the regions where the Dark Brigade began to get buttoned up the cavalry would provide welcomed support. 12 F-111L/M Aardvarks let loose their AGM-65 Maverick payloads on difficult targets when summoned by their land-based comrades. A handful of foolish members of the Dark Brigade meandered too close to the jungles during the fighting and fell prey to the pit-traps. The vast majority, however, were completely aware of this tactic as they had used it themselves against the Bjornoyan invaders when they first arrived in Africa to no avail. Within minutes of their arrival the Dark Brigade was making its way into the city. The Africans that comprised the Dark Brigade were immune to any emotional distress caused by the wanton destruction of the fools who dared take arms against them. They had been living this nightmare for nearly two years, another month would not cause anymore harm to them than was already done. Federal Peacekeepers were specially trained for ‘citizen insurgencies’ and carried with them a decent supply of rioting gear including Hallonacht, an anesthetic developed by Amgen containing a propofol/fentany used against African guerillas during the Bjornoyan annexation. In the proper amounts it was capable of turning an entire brigade into a sleeping baby with a .75% casualty rate. An improper amount could be considered a use of chemical warfare. The shells could either be fired from small mortars or if necessary larger shells could be loaded for the dozen howitzers that would be landed momentarily. The Federal Peacekeepers would fortify this cache within the city for safe use in the near future.

To the south a similar operation was being conducted but on a much larger scale. 3 battlegroups and the entire 7th Federal Peacekeeping Division were readied for this massive undertaking. 3 ports would be simultaneously assaulted, each battlegroup assisting in a different objective. A handful of special-ops would make their way inland via helicopter and try to make contact with native aboriginal resistance. Departing in their Apaches the 24 Federal Peacekeepers would search for all the help they could get in the rather uninhabited region.

The amphibious assault was preceded by nearly two hours of consistent barrages and hundreds of precision sorties by the F-111/Ls against primary installations. Airfields and communications towers were primary targets; secondary targets included scouted enemy strongholds. Hundreds of landing craft made their way to the shores heading for the port installations and main docking zones. Upon securing these installations Leopards and Marders would be deployed along with other helpful machines of war.

San Chesky Region

The 3rd Federal Peacekeeping Division made a relatively quiet landing south of the city, escorted by 5th Federal Battlegroup. They were in the process of unloading supplies to march on the city. Above them the airwing provided air cover, all planes were scrambled and prepared to engage should problems arise. F-111L again targeted any known Terronian airfields in the region and hoped to catch them before they scrambled.

The assault would hopefully catch the Terronian off-guard. With much of their attention towards the invasion in the east an assualt from the west could provide a distraction for their Norwegian and Hirgizstani allies.

Terronian-new South Wales Border

General Deduchy, Commander of the 5th Army was given his orders, the 5th Army was to invade New South Wales, hopefully seperating the enemy forces, there target, was the Australian Capitol Territory, hopefully, losing soldiers in the Terronian North, and the loss of land, would force the Norwegians to surrender, it was also give them a good ground against Azimeth should they try to invade. With a wave of his arm, the Division he was travelling with moved out, miles away, the other Division's followed. They would be proceeded by the Terronian 2087th Tactical Wing of the 13th Group.

Over Norwegian Controlled New South Wales
A horde of transport flew vigiously through clouds, inside one of the planes, the men of a platoon where preparing for there jump, the men of the 103rd Airbourne Division, would be the first Terronians to invade foriegn lands in over a 60 years. Off in the distance, over the hum of the jet engines, the sound of far off AA guns could be heard. The Platoon Comdant, rose to speak.

"Dont worry about those, our flyboys have been running sorties in this area for the past 2 days, however, where gonna face touch resistance. When we hit the ground, find me, or your Squad Comdant. We will hook up with the rest of our outfit. Remeber men, keep a close look out, maintain your intervals, lord only knows how many artillery survived, and I will be dammed if I lose an entire Squad to a single goddam round. Where the first ones im boys, lets the clear the way for our armor and liberate this land for the fatherland!"

The rest of the Platoon rose there hands in the air. A fighter jet engine zoomed overhead, as the light turned from red to yellow inside the plane, casting a yellow ambient in the planes.

"Stand Up!"

The men stood up!

"Hook Up!"

The men hooked up to the drop line.

"Okay, were landing in a field, so we should not lose anyone!, Ramontokow stand in the door.

The Second in Command, Ramontokow stood in the door and hooked up at the front of the line, he saw the clouds underneath him, and the far off light of AA fire. The pilot turned his head back and yelled.

"20 seconds!"

The men ready to jump repeated. "20 Seconds!".

"10 Seconds!"

"10 SECONDS!"

The light turned green as the lines snapped, flinging the men out, as there chutes opened, and the gracefully began there descent to the Earth below. The night was dark, and as the men hit the ground, it caught them by surprise, not have being able to see it. Terronain forces were in new South Wales.

OOC:My navy is defending that coast, so you have to get past them first before you can land. Gracias.

IC:The island defenders of New Caledonia, fell back, having lost a mighty portion of there strength, nearly 420 now lay dead. They fell back outside the city, and set up positions on the highlands. As the Bjornoyans approuched, hands raised up in the air, not as surrender, but as a signal, and in deep caves formed in the small mountain hillocks, large, though outdated, artillery was dragged out. And groups of 3 began quickly loading it and firing. They would not let the Bjornoyan's have there island without a fight.

At the same time, the makeshift armor, of pickup tricks with machine guns in the bed, were assembled, nearly 20, all painted in camoflage. 5 Pickups also had T.O.W missile cannons in the truck, and they were placed in the Entrance to the city, where earlier, earthworks had been dug, with outdated machine guns. IED's had already been placed along the roads leading to the city.

In the jungles, surviving resistance, who could get close enough, showered the enemy with as many homemade molotov cocktails and pipebombs they could throw before a Bjornoyan rifle ended there lifes. But they were proving succesful.

Under the rising of the sun, the Azimethian fleet, with the carriers and cruisers waiting behind approached closer on the horizon of Beach Green. Upon the horizon, what seemed like dozens of Azimethian "Bucenth" class battleships littered the water, their guns pointing directly at Beach Green. Flags raised from the ANS Azim to commence firing, and with a thunderous shot, the ANS Vengeance plastered the first shot from one of her four colossal 12" guns straight onto the beach. As if by cue, the entire bombardment group of the fleet opened up on Beach Green, blowing large craters and hopefully killing hundreds if not thousands of Terronian soldiers.

The bombardment ceased as thousands of Azimethian bombers crawled overhead and dropped their ordnance directly onto the beach. Aircraft from the aircraft carriers assisted, and the AO-1 Laeth troop carriers moved forward, packed with soldiers from infantry and guard infantry divisions. They looked up and saw transport aircraft delivering the airborne soldiers behind enemy lines amidst the chaos, to help secure the flanks of the beach landings. The armored divisions were by now pushing east and as far south as they could get, skipping around the Tango Line to reach the Azimethian soldiers on the beach. With luck, this would be nothing short than a complete success.

OOC:They can commecne on any given spot quickly, as the coast is not drastically long, and before I RP I must say sigh, I did'nt not even do anything, and I got like half the world attacking me it seems, its hard to keep up with 5 fronts! Also just to clear something up, My Nation is called Terronian or The Terron Nation, so someone or something from Terronian is not called Terronian, like "Sir there is a Terronian ship!" Its Terron as in, "Sir, there is a Terron ship!".

IC:

The TNS Scrimfaxi, Carrier, and Flagship of the Aeger Fleet was abuzz, as crewman quickly reported to combat post, the Aeger Fleet was to spearhead the assualt on the Azimeth and Bjornoyan fleets approuching the coast. The Northern Fleet, and the Kestrel fleet would be arriving shortly, as well as the Buzzard Fleet from South Point Island.

The Captain of the Scrimfaxi, Admiral Zaitsev, looked from his desk with a weary eye, at the massive enemy battlegroups appearing before him. The Azimeth's had already tasted Terronian Naval prowess before, and the Bjornoyan's where going to get theres. He took a sip from his tea, and gentle sent the cup down. A runner, came in and saluted, palm out. The Admiral returned it, and conveyed "what" with a facial expression.

"Sir, the Marines are ready, shall we give the orders?"

"Yes, yes, send the orders, by the way, how many in the fleet?"

"Um, 100 onboard the Scrimfaxi, 150 onboard the10 on the Supply Ship."

"Good, make sure the Marines are deployed properly, they got top of the line attack boats, make sure they use them correctly."

The Vassili Deck
Marines were quickly lowering down into there BU-007 Marine Boats, there duties, where to board, and/or sabotuer enemy ships. To most, and the untrained civilian, it was a dangerous job, which explained the low sign up for the branch, but in truth, it was quite easy, enemy guns where more focused on large ships, and firing on small agile Marine boats where difficult, nearly impossible. The only time Marine boats where in danger was when they were close enough for small arms fire from enemy ships.

The boats in the water, the Marines set off for the enemy fleet, around them and behind them, shells hit the water, causing huge plumes of water to lift up. One Marine onboard a boat, cokcingly stood up and lowered his trousers, sticking his rear out toward the enemy and yelled.

"Shell this you son's o bitches!".

Way behind them, the Destroyers, Corvettes, Destroyers, and Cruisers of the Aeger Fleet began firing on the enemy, as there shells rocketed into the sky toward the enemy fleet.

Terronian-new South Wales Border

General Deduchy, Commander of the 5th Army was given his orders, the 5th Army was to invade New South Wales, hopefully seperating the enemy forces, there target, was the Australian Capitol Territory, hopefully, losing soldiers in the Terronian North, and the loss of land, would force the Norwegians to surrender, it was also give them a good ground against Azimeth should they try to invade. With a wave of his arm, the Division he was travelling with moved out, miles away, the other Division's followed. They would be proceeded by the Terronian 2087th Tactical Wing of the 13th Group.

Terronian 5th Army-150,000

Over Norwegian Controlled New South Wales
A horde of transport flew vigiously through clouds, inside one of the planes, the men of a platoon where preparing for there jump, the men of the 103rd Airbourne Division, would be the first Terronians to invade foriegn lands in over a 60 years. Off in the distance, over the hum of the jet engines, the sound of far off AA guns could be heard. The Platoon Comdant, rose to speak.

"Dont worry about those, our flyboys have been running sorties in this area for the past 2 days, however, where gonna face touch resistance. When we hit the ground, find me, or your Squad Comdant. We will hook up with the rest of our outfit. Remeber men, keep a close look out, maintain your intervals, lord only knows how many artillery survived, and I will be dammed if I lose an entire Squad to a single goddam round. Where the first ones im boys, lets the clear the way for our armor and liberate this land for the fatherland!"

The rest of the Platoon rose there hands in the air. A fighter jet engine zoomed overhead, as the light turned from red to yellow inside the plane, casting a yellow ambient in the planes.

"Stand Up!"

The men stood up!

"Hook Up!"

The men hooked up to the drop line.

"Okay, were landing in a field, so we should not lose anyone!, Ramontokow stand in the door.

The Second in Command, Ramontokow stood in the door and hooked up at the front of the line, he saw the clouds underneath him, and the far off light of AA fire. The pilot turned his head back and yelled.

"20 seconds!"

The men ready to jump repeated. "20 Seconds!".

"10 Seconds!"

"10 SECONDS!"

The light turned green as the lines snapped, flinging the men out, as there chutes opened, and the gracefully began there descent to the Earth below. The night was dark, and as the men hit the ground, it caught them by surprise, not have being able to see it. Terronain forces were in new South Wales.
OOC: Don't have time for a fancy reply at the moment, but just one question. How the hell did those planes manage to cross into my territory without loosing a lot of planes to my extensive SAM sites and AAA? I also question your ability to bomb my territory for 2 days without me knowing. As far as I'm concerned, this battle has raged for 18 hours, max.
Hirgizstan
05-02-2006, 15:26
OOC: I launched 500 Cruise Missiles at the Tango Line and other targets in Cinigrad, you need to post losses for that.

IC:

The Hirgizstanian radar had been going crazy all day. It seemed the Terronian's were attempting to actually land in Norwegian territory, foolish, but gutsy. Within minutes Hirgizstanian 20 F/A-22A and 10 F-104X Fighters had lifted off and were speeding out toward the wilderness of New South Wales, ready to bring the Terronian plans to a fiery conclusion.

The F-104X Starfighters, due to their immense speed, made it into New South Wales extremely fast. Using their MMW radar and Phoenix AIM-54C long range AA missiles, the gigantic signatures of the transport aircraft were fixed, and 20 Missiles erupted from their pylons, streaking up into the sky and dissappearing. The Raptors, some time later, did the same, and 20 more missiles ripped off from their underbelly's.

The Terronian pilots literally wouldn't know what hit them, they would get a warning and some seconds later they would feel nothing ever again.


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

For the Airmobile stationed near New South Wales the alarm had been a welcome relief to the boredom. They believed they wouldn't be seeing combat for some time, or at all, but the news of a suspected paratrooper raid into New South Wales got them riled up.

Hundreds, thousands of helicopters buzzed about in the sky, ferrying thousands of men from the 18th, 19th and 20th Air Cavalry (Airmobile) Divisions. AH-1Z Super Cobra's and futuristic and menacing looking AH-94A Stalker's flanked the thousands of transport helo's into New South Wales.

The Air Cav began to set up defensive positions, ready to destroy the bewildered paratroopers, if any made it to the ground, after the beating the fly boys had in store for their transports.

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

In the far East of NSW the Hirgizstanian Armoured Corps, along with the 15th and 5th Armies were racing across the open plains, in just hours they would burst across the border and engulf the Terronians in destruction.

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


Out at sea another volley of Cruise Missiles had just lifted off, another 250 BGM-109's soaring toward the Tango Line, the other 250 soaring up the country toward Cinigrad.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------
OOC: Post losses please.

The invasion of New South Wales was a very foolish decision on behalf of the Terronian commander. Not only did they walk straight into Norwegian territory, defended by almost a million reservists, but they also invaded the October Alliance, the most powerful defensive alliance on the face of the Earth. The Kingdom would hold the invaders off alongside those nations of the alliance who wished a part in the campaign.

Border checkpoint
The reservists and border guards on the checkpoint saw the enemy advance and immediately prepared for action. They would fight on a flexible front, executing guerilla warfare tactics. They would deny the enemy the battle they wanted, and rather do hit-and-run attacks, harrassing the enemy as they went along. All in all, 100,000 Border Guards and 7,000,000 Home Guardsmen were stationed in Australia. Of those, 35,000 border guards and 2,400,000 Home Guardsmen were in New South Wales.

At the checkpoint, the guardsmen activated the vast minefields, which were filled with AT mines, Claymores, Bouncing Betties and other dangerous contraptions, stretching more than five kilometers across. Any vehicle and soldier crossing into it would be in extreme danger, and had to cross that before they reached the next line of defense.

The second line of defense consisted of MG positions, bunkers, AT nests, cannons and MLRS. The latter two fired constantly at the advancing enemy, devestating them with 105mm, 155mm and 203mm shells. The MLRS also fired rockets filled with submunitions capable of destroying even the most powerful and heavily armored tank, let alone APCs, IFVs and other soft-skinned vehicles. The second line of defense ranged from 5 - 25 kilometers inland.

The third line of defense, located 25 - 60 kilometers from the border consisted of Home Guard formations, equipped with M5A2 Løve main battle tanks armed with a 120mm ETC cannon, M2A5 Bradley IFVs and M113A4 Gavin APCs, as well as the trusty AG6A1 assault rifle. The soldiers were all reservists, knowing the terrain like the back of their hands and well trained in fighting here. They also had the motivation, with their own homes and families on the line. Thanks to the BERSTAT-2 alert condition already in effect, all Home Guardsmen were on the alert and mobilized, ready to fight the enemy.

As the first enemy vehicles and infantry started moving out of the minefield, the Border Guards opened fire with their TOW2 missiles and heavy machine guns. M18A1 Nelson APCs and M18A2 Nelson IFVs opened fire too, while M119A2 light 105mm howitzers and M777A2 LW155 155mm howitzers opened fire. M14A1 Gepard mobile anti-aircraft vehicles also opened fire at incoming aircraft, while the MIM-211 Salt extreme-range surface-to-air missiles further behind shot down enemy aircraft. MIM-120D-2 SLAMRAAM mobile SAM launchers coped with the medium-range aerial threats with the upgraded AMRAAM missile, while MIM-210 Starstreaks took out short-range aircraft. Older M2025A2 Devestator AAAs from the Home Guards fired too, sending deadly 25mm shells into the incoming aircraft. Norwegian fighters, most prominantly F-63Ks and F-22Bs also entered, firing AMRAAMs, Dødsengels and Sidewinders, as well as their cannons. It was a deadly battle, intending to at least give the Terronians a phyrric victory if not defeat.

Terronian landing site
Unfortunately for the Terronians, Norwegian regular army units and Home Guardsmen were waiting for the Terronians, concealed and ready. They had their night vision goggles on and weapons ready, waiting for the Terronians to land. As they did, a single cry sounded all over the area: "Åpne ild!" A split second later, tens of thousands of rounds of all calibers, 6.8x43mm, 7.62x51mm, 8.6x70mm, 12.7x99mm, 15.5x115mm, 20mm, 30mm, 40mm, 105mm, 120mm and 155mm flew down on the Terronians in a deadly cross-fire. Thanks to radar, the Norwegians had estimated the landing zone of the Terronians and placed their troops in defensive positions, giving a deadly crossfire for the invading troops. In the middle of the night, the tracer rounds from the machine guns and the explosions from the mortars and cannons gave an eerie glow over the battlefield. Tanks, IFVs, APCs and M2008A1 Dingo APVs stood on the outskirts, laying down deadly fire at the enemy. M6A3 Gramstad mortar carriers stood a few kilometers away and laid down deadly fire, guided in by the fire support teams at the infantry units.

Command Center, Alice Springs
The mood in the command center wasn't good. The enemy were trying to counter-invade in an attempt to stop the Norwegians. A clever plan, but not a wise one. After the orders to go to BERSTAT-2 earlier that week, all military units and reservists had been placed on alert for imminent war. Now it had arrived, and the Terronians were going to pay. New orders had arrived from Oslo, allowing the Norwegians to take any action necessary to obtain victory. The orders also came for Australia to go to BERSTAT-1, the alert status for total war! The commander, Generalløytnant Wallace looked at the situation and sighed. This had to end soon!

"Devestate their capital. Send a message to them that if they don't surrender, we will not stop untill their country is devestated. Send it now!"

"Yes sir!" the younger officer said and ran to pass the orders along.

Somewhere off New South Wales
The four Vulkan arsenal ships sat silently in the water, waiting for orders. Now they came, and they were devestating. The two ships were ordered to fire their entire load of Imsdal cruise missiles onto the Terronian capital. All in all, that load included 800 RGM-203A Imsdals armed with a 544kg warhead, 840 RGM-203B Imsdals armed with thermite submunitions, 200 RGM-203C Imsdal with 58,825 depleted uranium submunitions each, 300 RGM-203D Imsdals with 940 M74 APAM submunitions each and 100 RGM-203E Imsdal EMP missiles. The orders were confirmed, and within five minutes, the 2,240 SCRAMJET-equipped cruise missiles started lifting off vertically. After 35 nautical miles, the boosters dropped off and the SCRAMJET ignited, taking the missiles to 85,000 feet for the transit to the Terronian capital.

As they approached, the missiles started a steep dive, taking them to their terminal velocity of Mach 7. At that speed, even a dud would make a massive impact which would detonate its warhead due to the kinetic energy released. Of the 2,240 missiles released, 2,128 were expected to hit their targets with the rest being shot down or malfunctioning. It was certain to destroy the capital, hopefully decapitating the enemy commanders and send a message to the Terronian people: Surrender or die!

Skies over San Salvaken
Meanwhile, over Terronian, fighters continued their advance. The 54 fighters over San Salvaken had been reinforced with an additional 54 F-63Ks and 24 F-22B Raptors, evening the odds. A total of 9 F-63Ks had been shot down by the enemy, but that still left 99 F-63K Tengriys and 24 F-22B Raptors for the fight against the 100 fighters of the unit now identified as the Terronian 11th Fighter Wing. There were another 39 fighters and 9 attackers in the vicinity, but the Norwegians were being reinforced with SAM sites now. Two MIM-120 SLAMRAAM units, each consisting of 8 launchers with 4 missiles each, giving for a total of 48 missiles ready to launch and another 96 missiles ready to be reloaded per unit, and a single MIM-211A/B Salt site with 8 launchers, each with 4 missiles making for a total of 32 missiles ready and 64 missiles ready were being readied. As soon as they came online, they targetted enemy fighters and started shooting missiles, wary of the friendly fighters. Fortunately the Norwegians had their IFF markers on, keeping the smart missiles from attacking them.


OOC: OK, what's your losses. Keep in mind that you're being attacked with the might of the Norwegian war machine, so no "I lost 10 soldiers to the barrage" claims. Remember that you're invading me, and I've been prepared for war for a long time (check "Operation Killswitch... Engage" if you don't believe me). Just wanted to point that out.

OOC: I would also like to re-iterate what Cotland said, I first fired 500 Missiles, over 300 at your Tango Line, and I fired 250 more today, so I expect very, very heavy losses, as I haven't seen any losses for the first attack yet. I also attacked one of your ports, and I expect damage report for that aswell.

Open Press Release

We are ashamed to see our allies acting this way against the Terrons. While their actions against the natives have been horrible, surely they are not worse than the incident in Poland. Using their plight to fuel imperialistic motives is just as wrong as the Terronian actions. Elephanti actions helped the Terron islands in the Pacific come under independent rule, and we hope they will stay that way. We ask the attackers to stand down, and give tbe Terrons a chance to change their ways. If they do not comply, then the government deserves to be removed, changed, and re-established.

(OOC: Trust me, when you are a little nation, it isnt fun to have the world's big powers come and beat on you. Also, Bjornoya, keep in mind you need all three RC members to agree to let you in... Terronian, if there weren't so many of my allies fighting you, I'd jump in and help)

Decleration of War

The Kingdom of Norway has come under attack from the nation of Terronian, with Terronian forces invading the Kingdom. As such, Norwegian armed forces has gone to BERSTAT-1, meaning total (conventional) war on Terronian. We will not cease hostile actions untill Terronian forces fall back from Norwegian sovereign territory and surrender unconditionally. The Storting has announced that it has declared war on Terronian for their actions against the Kingdom. We urge the Terronians to surrender now in order to spare our two nations the massive loss of life and economic costs a war will cost. It is all in the hands of the Terron Nation now.

05-02-2006, 18:05
The Terronian fleet, which was now approaching Azimeth's "bombardment" group of the "Beach Green" landings were about to taste the full strength of the Azimethian military. The bombers from the air force, serving as "minute-men" against Terronian naval and army operations took off from Tasmania in rapid succession, flying towards the large naval engagement. Over 5,300 B-87A Polar bombers with full fighter support from the Azimethian fleet joined in a massive formation, and in one giant salvo released all of their Komech II class anti-ship missiles, and all of them were flying hot straight and normal towards the entire Terronian navy. The Azim class carriers scrambled their aircraft into the air, and the few A-13s that were not already helping the soldiers clear "Beach Green" were sent to fend off any Terronian patrol boats by strafing them with their large VU-9 Vulcan cannons which fired at over 6,000 rounds per minute.

30 of Azimeth's 35 Bucenth class Battleships took up formation against the Terronian navy, as did 50 of its cruisers, 30 of its destroyers and all 50 of its submarines, which had all armed themselves with Komech I anti-ship torpedoes and Yertert II submarine missiles. The Terronian fleet was about to be destroyed.

- - -

Soldiers up Beach Green moved up the beach and began to clear enemy bunkers using mortars and M-34 "Zerj" anti-placement rockets. The first few elements of the tank divisions were streaming towards the beach, completely avoiding the Tango Line and clearing the beach of all enemy units.

OOC: Terronian, you need to post casualties of soldiers on "Beach Green" and the naval battle, which I expect to be high.

Information spread quickly of the lightning attack from Terronian Forces. The Norwegians had a battle plan in place, which was shared among commanders. It was quickly decided by the Hawdawg General on the ground the Mechanized Infantry would move to support the flanks of the Royal Norwegian Armored Units already moving towards the Terronian Border. The troops were ready, this combined with there advanced desert training would ensure they would be a formidable cog in the juggernot of a war machine moving slowly south towards Terronian Territory.

As the events began to unfold in Southern Australia another alarming problem surfaced, the apparent attempted Russian land grab from the Bjornian government. Long ago, the Holy Republic had signed a treaty in a oil deal that required them to defend the Bjornians if attacked, and if the Russian threats held true this might play out.

Defense Minister Gordon Wells: "Damn those Russians. This is a regional conflict why are they moving on Bjornia?"

Prime Minister Josey Wales: "Purely imperialistic Gordon. They want a warm water port in the Pacific and don't want to pay for it. We can't afford to have them attack Bjorn, our pact we signed states we have to defend them, plus the effect this would have on the BSE would be problematic and cause us to loose a substaintal amount of capital we have invested in that market."

Defense Minister Wells: "Well that settles it. Put Fast Attack Group Devine, Dallas and Battle Group Hondo to Sea immediately. They won't be pleased they are heading for New Caledonia again."

Prime Minister Wales: "True, but this time we will only have to deal with the Sea borne threat. Notify the Norwegians what we are doing, and ask them to send us any submarine activity they pick up with there advanced SOSUS network to the East. I also want Heavy Attack Group Dalhart moved from Port Moresby South to assist the Fleet if needed."

DM Wells: "Consider it done sir."

As the vessels left port, pairs of P-3C's took off from the regional AirBase with a fighter escort of F-78K's. There instructions were simple locate the Russian Fleet and monitor its movement south. This long range reconissance would mirror the fleet until it arrived at its intended target of New Caledonia. Air patrols were increased around Fiji and Papau New Guinea along with advanced AWACS monitoring.

ooc: yes, I started this war unprovoked but not against a little nation, least didn't think so, his nation's been around longer than me. Imperialstic perhaps with the island hopping but the mainland we are fighting for a permanent reserve for the Aboriginese that could be a Bjornoyan protectorate. Land is certainly not the only thing fueling the war, it was one of many factors. Incredibly unfortunate timing by Terronian is all for the expulsion of the Aboriginese.

Hawdawg Regional AirBase

Today two wings of the Hawdawg Air Force would depart for Australia. At 0700 the flight lines on all three runways were crowded with anxious fighters lined up for take-off. With a thunderous boom, pilot after pilot hit the afterburner and quickly sped down the runway into the early morning sun. In short order, some 192 planes where heading SSW towards the coast of Australia. As they raced across the Bay of Carpenteria at 100 feet, the flight leader switched his radio to the Norwegian AF Channel.

"NAF control this is HAF Flight 102, you probably can't see us very well on the Radar but we are inbound. Course SSW 23 degrees, speed well fast, requesting permission to enter airspace. We were preflight directed to Alice Springs AirBase, is this correct, over?"

The Kingdom had been a silent party in the whole engagement against New Caledonia, but now it was time to act. From naval bases in the Northern Territory, a substantial naval force left the quays, silently slipping out. Their orders were to spread out across the area around the Norwegian-occupied Coral Sea Islands, protecting them against any possible aggression. A total of three Norwegian aircraft carriers and their escorts slipped out. A substantial force, and it was concealed from view thanks to satellite jammers on the vessels and so-called "fog generators" on land, which made it look very foggy on satellite images.

In the break of dawn, the first of the aircraft started arriving at their carriers, having been based on land for the duration of the port visit. The first plane to land was a F-37G Razor on the Enterprise class CVN, flown by the commander of the air group, landing at the crack of dawn. Within four hours, the entire air complement save the helicopters which were already aboard would be embarked and ready for action. It was good to stretch the sealegs yet again.

***********************************************************

Out of a secret naval facility outside Mackay in Queensland, a flotilla of sixteen secret Murmansk class submarines slipped out, having submerged inside the submarine pen and dived out of the large underwater opening. They were to spread out as well, and to track the Russian armada in the area. It was a mighty force, one to be reconned with.

The air controller in the tower detected the Hawdawgian fighters inbound thanks to the highly classified Anti-Stealth System the Norwegians had developed, though it was difficult to see them at such a low altitude. However, when the fighters hailed the area controll, the identity was verified. Still, a few F-63K Tengriys were dispatched to ensure their identity.

"Hotel Alpha Foxtrot flight one zero two, this is Royal Norwegian Air Force control. Permission to enter Norwegian airspace is granted, you are cleared for direct approach to Alice Springs.

175 nm SSW of South Point Island (http://0101.netclime.net/1_5/U/Z/J/Water.mid)

Grand Admiral Abra watched the little people below with her periscope. Some savage Terron was daring to mock the mighty Bjornyan fleet. Within seconds the light craft was incinerated by one of the thousands of Bjornoyan round being fired at the advancing boats.

“Bitch”

Abra knew that was a lucky shot, the nimble craft were hard to hit and were advancing fast. Perhaps forty little craft were attempting to board the Bjornoyan ships. Who did they think they were pirates? Abra shook her head, disgusted.

“Orders ma’am?”

The craft were coming in fast, and Abra knew these little buggers could cause much havoc if they got far into their formation. Already she heard a perimeter frigate was being assaulted and another lost rudder control. No matter. She was trying to stamp out these pesky flies with a big boot when all she really needed were a few spiders.

“Release the Highwinds, 20 of them.”

“But ma’am they’ll never reach shore from here.”

“They’re not going to shore; they’re going to tear these worms apart.”

“Of course ma’am.”

The door of one of the Highwind transports dropped and 20 Highwinds jetted out of their compartments. Heavily armored and the ships would speed right into the oncoming wave attempting to crush them with their ram-like bows of their craft. Their heavy HK MG-43s would tear through the light craft with ease. The bombardment ceased as the ships came closer and were met by the Bjornoyan craft along with about two dozen Sea Hawks and Apaches.

A few airstrikes later and the T.O.W. emplacements were neutralized. The Dark Brigade began to fall back, and the populace cheered wildly. However they turned pale as the first Marders and Leopards rumbled towards them, the retreat was merely to get a new and deadlier spearhead. The Federals had gotten their riot gear unloaded and were re-suiting with gas-masks, batons, and heavy shields. The Peacekeepers were well trained in such tasks, it was their specialty.

As they approached a brief message erupted from the loudspeakers of several Marders,

“You in the barricades listen to this! No-one is coming to help you to fight. You’re on your own; you have no friends, give up your guns or die!”

With this last warning the Dark Brigade waited for the populace’s response. Should they not concede defeat they would drown the area with Hallonacht, putting much of the populace to sleep and killing a few unfortunate ones.

The Arctic Foxes were nearly done with their occupation, a few more stops and the region would be secured within 2 days tops. The Foxes stretch and curled themselves up for a much deserved rest; they would have much more work to do. Although there was little to no resistance they were happy to get off the God-forsaken rocks of Wallis and Futuna.

Given the fact that you have a substantial naval presence moving towards the warzone, and the Russian belief that moblization means war, what would you have us believe your ships are doing?

We orignially planned to move those ships into the area for attack of New Coledonia, however since then our position changed. Yet still we have a logistically adequate force that can still be used for naval exercises in the Pacific. We already paid to move that fleet out, if we pay to move it back in and releave it of its supplies we will loose money without any sort of compensation, and since we don't want to loose money we are going to hold naval exercises in the region to better our experience.

"Roger that, RAF. We will climb to 14,000 feet and proceed to Alice Springs, we will take you up on the drink offer at Tennet Creek. Just checking to see if you guys were on your toes, we don't want to scare any sheep inbound, HAF-102 out."

Flight 102 climbed to 14,000 feet and backed out of super-cruise to idle into the Tennet Creek area. Each F-78K had burnt quite a bit of fuel in the dash across from PNG but they would each take a half load of fuel for the final leg to Alice Springs. Hawdawg Command didn't want the jets on the ground without some fuel in case an emergency scramble was called for.

"We got company. Ah, our NAF escorts have arrived. Wave your wings at the F-63k's fellas. We haven't all got to upgrade to those babies yet, but we will soon."

The entire flight saluted its Norwegian escort as they slowly moved into position behind the Tanker's for there much needed fill up. One by one they took on a splash of fuel for the leg to Alice Springs. With what seemed like an eternity, the last plane was fueled and they began to decend on into the AirBase.

"Alice Springs, this is HAF 102 requesting permission to land, 192 total aircraft on approach, over."

The Radar Operator on board the lead P-3C came on the speaker and notified the Pilot the Russian Fleet was within range, some 10 nm North.

Echo Charlie:"Roger, Radar. Maintain contact. We are going to circle the area and get a visual of the Fleet. Escort Fighters, this is echo charlie. Remember we are in international waters and are allowed to shadow these vessels for informational purposes. We will not fire upon any vessel or plane unless they fire first, is that clear."

Fighter escort: "Affirmative, hold fire unless fired upon."

Echo Charlie: "We have a KC-130 Tanker in route to top off all of our tanks. Our relief flight should arrive in three hours, after are initial contact, over. Lets make a banking turn on my mark and make our first visual pass. Three, two, one mark."

Slowly the formation turned and began to sweep down the length of the Russian Force, denoting the vessels in the flotilla, armaments, and any other significant data that could be used in intellegence briefings.

"Tovarish Admiral of the Fleet Konovsky, Hawdawgian vessels are starting to spread out infront of our formation. Retransmitting VRPB data sent from R/C-R Head Quarters for recoinessance in the Pacific Ocean."

Admiral Konovksy never saw the face of the petty officer in charge of the combat awareness battalion stationed aboard "Voronej" the aircraft carrier from which Admiral was to controll the whole fleet that was maintaining its position in the Pacific. However Admiral very quickly got accostumed to his voice as R/C-R was releasing more and more information on the Bjornyan campaign against the Terronian. Admiral looked at his screen which represented every unit that was detected by whatevr means. The Hawdawgians were going to shadow his fleet, that seemed to be a logical decision and Konovsky understood the reasoning. However two could play this game. He spoke in the intercom.

"To all concerned officers, i order 2 or 3 attack submarines to shadow every Hawdagian battlegroup. The submarines are to move at safe speeds and to remain undetected. The submarine commanders are to not fire on Hawdawgian vessels unless fired upon first or an order comes from me personally allowing them to fire. All jet fighters to be ready for deployment on moments notice."

"HAF-102, Alice Springs approach. Permission to land is granted. Runway 1-2 left and 1-4 right is clear. Sidewinds are 12 knots, unlimited visibility." the controller said, sitting in the tower overlooking the massive air force complex outside Alice Springs. The complex had a total of ten runways, the longest being almost 5,000 meters long, and hundreds of hangars and tarmacs. Here, more than 450 Norwegian aircraft were stationed, along with a few Layartebian ones whos existance were classified, and now almost 200 Hawdawgian ones. It was well protected with AAA sites, SAM sites and FLAK, as well as constant satellite jamming and Combat Air Patrols. The Hawdawgians were safe here, as were everyone else too.

ooc: Terr I have no idea what I'm up against, from the post I interpretted it as a group of marines in small boats trying to board some of my vessels (what's a BU-007 Marine Boat? It sounds small, especially with around about 300 soldiers I assumed it was a whole bunch of small vessels) If that's not the case my bad, but I need something specific to fight against. The Highwind (http://0301.netclime.net/1_5/1/8/M/Bjornoyanlandingcraf.jpg) is an amphibious landing craft, heavily armored and small, thus I thought those two would be relativelly good for a fight. I put the picture up, can give specifics if needed. The way it sounded to me was these light ships would try to boards some of my larger vessels. In response these guys were released along with helicopters to take care of them, and a head on collision with this beast would be devastating to a small ship. It's heavily armored in the front for obvious reasons.

We are entering the war upon the Terron Nation in support of our ally, Azimeth.

IC: Kiribati would be the first target of Kreynoria. It was convenient because it was virtually surrounded by Kreynorian-controlled islands.

The attack would be spearheaded by WIG craft. A new technology, WIG craft were capable of flying just a few feet above the ground.

PX-605 'Harpy' anti-shipping WIG fighters were small craft that each carried six Exocet anti-shipping missiles, and were protected by Stealth features. Following them were the larger PX-607 'Pelican' transports. Each massive transport could carry 700 men and 17 vehicles, as well as refuel the smaller Harpies.

Providing additional support were two Strike Wings and two Air Superiority Wings, as well as a Saugerties Battlegroup.

The objective of this task force was to land the 9th Armoured on Kiribati.

The ANS Azim looked at a small marine vessel approaching her, and the gun crews lit up with their 20 and 30mm cannons, concentrating all of her fire on the small marine boat. Because of no other enemy targets to pursue, the carrier was determined to obliterate the small boat, and by its size it was sure to be destroyed.

The Azimethian soldiers had now cleared Beach Green. All 15 armored divisions had linked up with the the Airborne, and by avoiding the Tango Line had suffered only 2 casualties from enemy artillery. The infantry had suffered roughly 50 casualties, the airborne 100, and the Guards divisions none. They were quickly reinforced by soldiers from the landing group, and were now ready to build a bridge from Victoria to Western Australia and completely secure Southern Australia from the Terronian government.

OOC: Terr, you need to post losses for my attacks on your port and Cinigrad.
Also, I didn't ambush your paratroopers, I picked it all up on radar and then mobilised forces to meet them. As well as that it was foolish to even post the paradrop as you would certainly have lost aircraft even trying to get to the LZ, then you would drop right on top of around 2 Million Norwegian Reservists, and a base of mine not too far away. Hardly 'all crazy' as you called it.

IC:

In the west of New South Wales, 100 B-52H Bombers were trundling down a gigantic runway, one after the other, lifting into the sky like some sort of over-sized Jumbo Jet. 20 F/A-22A Raptors and 30 F-104X Starfighters joined them from another airfield and they began to make a run down toward Azimethan territory, staying close to the border, on the Norwegian Side.

Just under two hours later each B-52H launched four AGM-158 JASSM, with RMP (Reinforced Material Penitrator, i.e. Bunker Buster). Four hundred of these missiles streaked way out in front of the flight of aircraft, the pilots just catching the last glimpses of their smoke trails as they turned around to head back to base. They didn't even have to cross into enemy territory.

In just over an hour the Tango Line would lie in ruins as the Warheads simply blasted through the dense concrete, eventually exploding deep within the bunkers. Any soldiers not killed by falling debris would have seconds to think what had happend before they never thought anything again.

OOC: Post losses, one missile per bunker.

OOC: You don't really have the authority to tell people to attack someone if they don't want to. However i am pretty sure you're all set with your allies at this point.

ooc: Pushka I don't have the authority to do anything, even if I sign a NAP with someone I can't force them to not go to war even under contract, that's already understood. But I am making an unwritten contract right now specifically addressing Azimeth and Kreynoria, I was headed towards Kiribati and South Western South Austrlia but now they are involved. I could either be an ass an tell them to go away or make this deal: I'd be happy to see you participate in this war so long as it is acknowledged you are now an ally and are obligated to assist Bjornoya should she fall under attack from a Terronian ally.

The Terronian goverment is willing to negotiate surrender, as long as I can maintain land in Australia.

OOC:To many fronts, to many opponents. I just can't keep up.
Azimeth
05-02-2006, 22:56
The Azimethian government will accept the surrender if they can secure a small line of land that connects Victoria and Western Australia together, and they will agree to Terronia maintaining land in Australia and come to its need if under a just cause.

I suggest RomeW, he has held peace conferences before and is always a gracious host.

OOC: As long as I get some land in Australia I'll take a surrender. I don't see the problem in letting you keep something in Australia, and I think RomeW would be a good host for a peace conference.
Terronian
05-02-2006, 23:10

Bjornoya
05-02-2006, 23:23
The Patriarchal Federation of Bjornoya is willing to negotiate, and supports the nomination of Rome as the mediator.

ooc: terms will most likely strive for transfer of Tuvala, New Caledonia, Tonga, and Kiribata to various allied control as well as estblishment of permanent Aboriginal reserve within S. Australia most likely Kangaroo Island that would become a Bjornoyan protectorate.

OOC: I'm only going to demand a relatively small piece of land in South Australia as seen on the map you'll find here (http://img477.imageshack.us/img477/7293/australiademand4yh.jpg). The rest is for you guys to fight over, but for the love of all that is holy, let Terronian have some land in South Australia. Don't take it all away from him.
