To: Emperor Pudu

From: Emperor Baker



I am suprised by your humble offer, and, by my power, grant you your request. I will inform my Coalition to grant you this, however, i cannot promise you that the Chitzis or some Coalition nations will not lay down arms. I however, as the largest military presence in the area, will return home, requesting only to use your port of Locke where my Navy is near by, to return my men home. This is my only request. Thank you for your wise and generous acceptance of my peace accords.

Good day to you.

*********To All Coalition Nations*******



Lay down your arms. We have struck a peace agreement with Pudu, and now have given him our support for control of his desired district. I apologize to the Revolutionary Directorship that we had to divide your nation, but this is the only way to keep your entire nation from falling. So once again, bring your men home, and demilitarize the Puduite 001 district.


Sinceresy apologies,


Emperor Christoph Baker

OOC: eh, well, whataya gonna do? Stuff happens...

TO: Pudu
FROM: Northern Colonies

We are still awaiting the bodies of the four men.

Yours,
Alex Peters

Before we leave, we (The coalition) need to make sure that we leave a stable government in place, or a repeat of the liberty phamphlet problem may rise again. I suggest we do not leave a dictator in charge and notify Chitzeland on the changes.
I will not leave until this is done.

I agree absolutley. I meant that we lay down arms against Pudu. We cannot leave Chitzeland in dissarray. We came here to do that, we will not leave until this is done.

I will leave 1 million men out of my total deployed force here to occupy Providence.

Subject: 4 Bodies
Message: I am sorry, but we cannot locate the bodies of your four soldiers. I am afraid that after they were killed, we buried the bodies ourselves outside the city, and cannot now, due to the period of time they have already sat in the ground and the large number of similar graves, it would be practically impossible.

Good day,
Colonel Gavshin

FB-3 and FB-4 were the ones slated for the missile and bomb attacks, and once those were finished, the Parthian paratroops began their jumps from the C-130s. Each firebase was to be seized through the use of one of the three regiments of the Parthian 33rd Airmobile Division

As each of the loading ramps went down, hundreds of troops jumped from the rear of the planes, filling the skies with thousands upon thousands of parachutes. AGS were dropped from other planes, floating down to the ground with the help of their own parachutes, while at the same time, more planes began to arrive.
<snip>


Task Force 4
Reports from the MPP-2 spotter planes alerted the crew to start deploying countermeasures. On every one of the 5 ships decks where a series of EMP-M (1/2 ton FCG) warheads on 21" long range ECM rockets. These had then been fired in the direction of the enemy shells, hoping to scramble as much of the guidance they could. They also deployed the usual chaff, and started evasive manuvers, and readied their point air defenses. Regardless, a few of the shels struck home, one going right throught the main turret of the HTS-Dunkirk, but thankfully, only put a massive hole in the hull, all other vessels where similarily damaged. One sunk, and the survivors where fished out with the two hovercraft and two submarines with the group. The two other assault transports managed to beech themselves and could be salvaged within about a month, the HTS-Dunkirk was butrning something feirce, and was being tended to by damage control teams, it was starting to lean heavily to the port, ad the captian, for fear of the crew's safety, ordered abandon ship.

EMP may be good at scrambling electronics, but they do squat against inertia.

FB-3C (The one most likely spotted, since it fired 4 to 8 times as many shells as any of the other bases)

The shells came down, men took cover a few men died, they didn't have time to count the dead (more pressing matters) but it was estimated to be 10% casualties (4 dead, 8 wounded). A few noticed planes approaching, then dropping stuff, at first they thought it was more bombs, or even 5 ton FAEs. Especially when they saw the launch vehicle was a C-130 and a large cargo parachute opened up behind it. A few men with field glasses observed that they where airborne tanks, the enemy apparently wanted to capture the guns and shell Chitzi fortifications with them.

Thhe 4 HT-101 AFVs gae chase, while the radio operators (landline) called in for air/artillery support, especially from the 18" guns capable of heaving one ton shells on the enemy from 60 miles away (RAP-ER-X shell). The gun crews also pulled out a batery of their own 12" guns to rain down on the enemy, and to augment the 2 MLRS pods on the HT-101s and the 4 MC-5 heavy Mortars.

FB-3A
The base, passed this informatin to both Providence and to OTC-1 and OTC-2. They then manhandled their guns back into action, and soon the 2 HT-101 AFVs opned fire on the advancing planes with their Patriot missiles.

Providence
The ticker tape parade was cut short when the proggression stopped in the middle of the street, turned their guns to the west, and opened fire upon the distant C-130s, infantry standing in the open rushed the civilians to cover.

OTC-2
Training was quickly put on hold, all available forces would go to the defense of the base, as they could clearly see the C-130s and the parachutes from their classrooms, the instructors made it very clear that it was no drill, for they would all be soon fighting for their lives, lacking any batter plan (they only taught them the one in the eventuality of Pudite aggressions) they took the original plane, and redescribed the orders as a defense perimiter of concentric circles, fire X bullets, pull back under cover of comrads, resume fighting, when at last lines, fire a clip on full auto, reload, and charge.

To: Wasnerjarian Government
From: Mr. White, foreign affairs officer
Subject: Providence
Message: We have done no such thing, the information you are reciving is false. There has been no attack.

Good day,
Mr. White

400,000 troops have been put on alert for the invasion of Bearmish. If any coalition forces would like to stop this, do so. It's just so we can build more bases and send more troops in. we also hope to do this in the least voilent way possible.

FB-3C

A whole regiment of Paratroopers, 3500 in all, along with 100 Armored gun systems now moved on the firebase from their drop zone. Missiles from AFVs tore through the skies, hitting 5 C-130s as they pulled away, yet called for immediate reprisal as the F/A-91s moved back into providing air cover, throwing 150 infrared guided ASMs at the enemy missile firing APCs in a 25 mile radius.

35 A-12 Barbarian ground support planes from the Parthian airfield in Ort joined in, strafing enemy troop positions in the firebase with shells from the 30mm ETC gun. Others moved towards 12 inch artillery raining down on Parthian troops and fired bursts of the munitions at the guns and MLRS, before dropping napalm upon them.

With air support avalible, the paratroopers now moved on the firebase location, with the intent not to capture, but destroy the guns and eliminate the crews and laborers. AGS fired at enemy vehicles with their 105mm ETC guns while the paratroops advanced under a rain of fire from the AGS mounted with 30mm autocannons. It would not be long before troops had swamped the defenders, allowing them to destroy the guns on the ground and anything associated with their operation. Once the firebase was eliminated, they would move on to the other ones in the area, destroying all of them and eliminating the PROHT forces offensive capability.

Parthian 5th Army

Lord Marshall Ardeshir Fardmanesh was about 25 miles from the city of Bearmish, advancing forward at the head of 36 mechanized infantry divisions, 9 divisions of armor, and two independent divisions of artillery. Together, it was a force of 850,000 infantry and 18,000 MBTs, all poised to strike at one heavily occupied city on the road to Providence, and to eliminate another coalition member from the fray with a Versailles peace. ACI-73s flew overhead, providing cover from any potential enemy planes, but they still needed to set up their forces, bringing almost 10,000 pieces of artillery upon the unfortunate city and the Zanski garrison it held.

Ardeshir also worried about the potential for reinforcements from the Coalition side, meaning it was now necessary to bring even more forces to the front so they could both bolster their numbers and steamroll even the largest enemy army. A further 50 divisions of infantry and 10 divisions of armor were avalible for use on the front, which would be sent under Lord-Marshall Piruz Tehrani towards Bearmish, bringing Parthian superiority directly to the city, a reinforcement that would help in destroying the town.

Providence
A number of the AFVs where reduced to burning cinders from enemy aircraft, and they continued moving south to ambush postions outside the city. Many where luckily protected by the city's many buildings, this however was most unfortunate for those whom took shelter in them, civillian casualties where heavy.

FB-3C
A small number (10) of FMX-6B strike planes moved in to dole out some pain to the attackers, and the 18" guns from FB-3A pummeled the place with 2,000 pound shells once every 15 seconds. The remaining 2 HT-101s rolled into combat, firing on their 15 6" unguided rockets on the move, pumping out 120mm AT Rocketss from the turret as fast as the gunner could operate the pump action used to load AT shells. The 4 heavy mortars fired from their concealed pits at the flanks of the attacking force, while a MGer in each pit made sure they themselves where not overrun. Soon enough they saw one of their tanks get napalmed from above, a man clambered out - on fire - shooting an assault rifle and making a mad charge towards the enemy, and a quick death. Many claimed they could hear him trying to scream at the attackers, and took up a battle cry "CROATOAN!" Those who where either not doing anything vital to the fight or running out of ammunition got up, and charged screaming long and hard at the tops of their lungs, one could be seen running through the swamp with a lit molotov, for he had used all his bullets and grenades already, and was dashing around to knock out one of the tanks, which saw him and turned to face him, at that instant, he was mowed down as he threw the bomb. He was ripped to shreds by automatic weapons fire, almost nothing was left of him except his left foot, and his helmet, the rest was patee stewn about the swamp.

It wasn't long after that fires started breaking out, the peat bogs had caught fire...

Official Imperial Message of the Empire of Kravania

From: The Empire of Kravania

To: To All Nations

To the leaders of the nations of the Coalition and our Allied nations,

The Empire of Kravania declares a ceasefire and a general state of peace with the nations of the Coalition.

The Empire shall withdrawl all of it's deployments from the theatre of operations in and around the former nation of Chitzeland.

The Empire shall not make any territorial claims to any part of the former nation of Chitzeland and the Empire shall announce the dissolution of the former Kangde Empire.

The Empire does not consider Chitzeland to be a nation anymore and will from now on view Chitzeland as a failed nation of chaos and anarchy.

The Empire also announces the abolition of all diplomatic ties with the Domonion of Pudu, for their treason in selling out to the Coalition and thus depriving the Empire and it's Allies of a victory which we could have easily obtained.

Imperial Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Empire of Kravania

Lord Micheal Duchet

The troops have been sent off in sonicmaster planes and will most jump out and close off all roads, but this time there will be more tanks and HAVs (Heavily Armoured Vehicles). This is so we can move in an extra 2 million troops to the country. The troops have been told the following:

*NO HOSTAGES
*NO KILLING OF CIVILLIANS

They will then take over all council buildings and -voila- Bearmish is ours.

FB-3C

The bombs and shells landed amongst the troops, causing 150 casualties as the regiment continued to advance upon the enemy fortifications. Machineguns tore through Parthian lines, killing a further 25 before they started to fire back. Accurate fire from the autocannons on some of the AGS turned on the machinegun nests, firing away with hundreds of shells. As the enemy charge rang out, they fired upon the lines of advancing troops, shooting the Parthians with their guns, before the DR-83 assault rifles carried by Parthian paratroops opened up upon the charging lines, firing away with 3 round bursts upon the approaching enemies.

Following that, as the hordes continued to charge, the Parthians placed the assault rifles on their back, and pulled the shamshirs from their holders on their back, while others removed automatic shotguns. The Parthians now charged towards the enemies approaching, waving their sharpened, curved swords in the air. Automatic shotguns fired away, spraying enemy troops as they approached within close range, while even more effective soldiers armed with flamethrowers poured fire upon the enemies.

With their ceramic plate armor covering their entire bodies, their swords shining in the sun, and the pouring of close range firepower directly into the face of the approaching enemies, the Parthians knew the PROHT would soon lose a firebase.

FB-3A

As enemy guns fired, Parthian planes now moved. A-12s unleashed a barrage of 30mm ETC shells directly at the enemy guns, hoping to rip them apart with the firepower of the ETC gattling cannons their planes carried, while others moved in to drop napalm upon the batteries.

The stealth planes in the air remained invisible to radar, but at visual range, the 250 ACI-73s could see them, and quickly moved in upon them, firing away with their cannons upon the enemy fighters, hoping to rip them apart with a quick barrage.

OOC: How long has this war been going on since I commited troops?

Operation Bearmish

The planes soared over the land, about three miles from bearmish.

"Okay!" Shouted General Ztyks. "Same as last time, for those of you that were here in Operation:Yrttal. Jump from your plane, wait seventy seconds and set up roadblock. Twenty more blanes will drop more of our trusty men over here. Then two thousand planes will come. One thousand will drop men here. You are to assure them that you are the real creme de la creme Zanx army and point them towards it. CLEAR?"
"Sir yes sir!" Shouted the five khaki-clad Zanx soldiers and leapt out.

They landed, set up roadblock and saw the sky go black with supersonic planes and paratroops.

the offensive unit marched forward, shooting down every Chitze soldier in sight.
Some of them had been equipt with bazookas, which were filled with smoke bombs and flashbangs.

Part two coming soon

OOC:
Wait, is Zanx for or against the Revolutionary Directorship of Chizeland?

And so why are they shooting Chitzis?

For me the war has gone on for over 3 months 15 days...

FB-3A
The Earthenwork bunkers withstood the 30 mm cannons, and the HT-101s responded in kind with their 35 mm guns, while the big guns just kept on shooting.

The desprate Parthinians dropped naplalm, which burned the crew and scorched the gun, temporarily slowing the rate of fire until the napalm was under control.

FB-3C
The FMX-6Bs then focused on the Armored vehicles (using FMX-6Bs against people? Why? They where designed to bust tanks!) as the infantry charged, they noticed the exposed flamethrowers now at the enemy's front lines, and clear targets, they sprayed them with gunfire. And moved on to press the void, when the rifle bayonets failed to be of much use, they pulled out their sharpened shovels, with a reputation of smashing in the skulls of even the toughest troops onm the battlefield, those unlucky enough to be set on fire only chargesd harder and upon reaching the flamethrower gave him a death hug and smashed their gas tanks with their shovels.

The only things that seemed to stop them where the cannons and auto shotguns at point blank. The swords did damage often killing them by decapitation, but it was often seen that the last waves where chewing through the armor like animals, with arms shot off and holes in their chest.

They no longer seemed human, and if they guessed that, they where partly right. It was a "Last stand drug" put into service shortly after a demonstration of it on New Roanoke Island, much to the horror of those ordered to deal with the 'problem', it promised supirior fighing qualities, and would infect the enemy with a disease that (if the actions of the infected don't kill them first) will die within a year without treatment.

The great part was, that they would soon have an enemy greater than PROHT, themselves.
OOC: Layman's terms, PROHT uses artificial 'zombies' in their military. (Not real zombies, just uber drugged troops, think BZ hallucigens mixed with painkillers, then make it infectius, then they might die of over dose in a year)

Operation Bearmish info

Operation: complete.
Zanx casualties:452
Civillian casualties: Extremely low (<10)

Info on cause:

2 Army bases being set up
1/2 million Zanx soldiers being sent in
Massive rebuilding scheme in progress
Arms factory being set up
University of Zanski being set up
10,000 Homes for the homeless being set up

Other info:
President Jarak Arma may be visiting. coalition backup will be requested.

The cause of the operation was to get more land to send more zanx troops in, build more Zanx Universities, set up more homes for the homeless, gain land to build Arms factories on, and offer more national security.

FB-3A

The heavily armored A-12s began to pull off as the guns downed three of their number. They would move out of gun range, but the Parthians left each of the 30mm cannons a single missile each, a terminal diving high explosive GPS guided weapon zeroing in directly on the enemy gun positions.

F/A-91s joined in, firing those same weapons from 15 miles away, hoping to plaster all of the anti-air positions with 150 ASMs. Once the missiles were released, the A-12s returned, this time, dropping bunker busting munitions topped with DU penetrators designed to rip right through the bunker and detonate the load of thermite they contained. Within minutes, FB-3A would hopefully be out of service.

FB-3C

Ten of the AGS were quickly destroyed by the enemy airplanes, but the ACI-73s were quick to respond, 150 of them swarmed the enemy planes, firing 300 short range infrared guided missiles at the enemy aircraft, before pulling up to them and engaging them with the gattling cannons on their aircraft. The tiny number of enemy planes would certainly not stand long against enemies outnumbering them 15-1.

The Parthian lines, consisting of about 6000 troops, now faced close combat. Their ceramic plate armor, reinforced with titanium rods, stood up to nearly all of the shovel blows, but the blunt force still created grevous wounds, and worse, the flamethrower troops were quickly being targetted, exploding as enemy troops shot them or smashed their tanks in close combat. Casualties were intense as troops knocked to the ground were set upon by seemingly animalistic soldiers, tearing at the plate armor covering their entire bodies, ripping through the softer spots at the joints and biting them viciously.

The Parthians responded quickly, advancing forward in all their numbers directly at the company sized force arrayed against them, a whole regiment totally outnumbering them. Close combat specialists joined in, armed with chainblades which cut viciously into enemy soldiers, while automatic shotguns continued to fire, ripping enemy lines with specially designed exploding buckshot rounds. Grenade launchers fired away, utilizing incindiary rounds to melt enemy troops as the Parthians continued to advance, pouring down fire and ripping enemy troops without mercy using swords and chainblades.

Parthian 5th Army

The Parthians now heard new intelligence of over 2 million Zanski troops in Bearmish. Though smaller than the 86 Mechanized infantry and 20 divisions of armor the Parthians were sending, it would have to be larger if the Shah wanted to utterly storm the city. The order went out, 100 divisions of infantry and 25 total divisions of armor were to move on the city. They would all arrive from the Parthian base in Ort within a day, and once that happened, Bearmish would fall totally.

Requesting Coalition backup.

In the mean time...

Bearmish had been turned into an empty city, all of the citizens had been moved to temporary Refugee camps and been assured that, should Bearmish fall, they would have the opportunity to move to Zanski with little charge.

Operation:Compass

There has been a new defense plan in bearmish which consists of the following:

1200 Sniper towers
4555 rapid gun turrets
82317 bazookas for the troops
12841 AK-47 reload cartridges
7000 Sonicmaster blitzmobiles
3 million more troops to move into Bearmish
1,889 grenade cannons
990 AHVs (Armed Heavy Vehicle)
45860 Anti Aircrafts

Cost: $7.98 Billion

This is already installed.
Does the so-called Shah want to invade this. if so, well... we never underestimate or overestimate a situation publicly, so go ahead.

URANIUM DEPOSIT FOUND OUTSIDE YRTTAL

the Zanx government has found a deposit of uranium 1 mile east of the Yrttal border. It seems enough to make at least 100 new bombs for defensive purposes. we are awaiting coalition approval to excavate the site.

Parthian 5th Army

The Shah had given the order for increased numbers of troops, to bring the total strength of the Parthian army to 250 Divisions of infantry, 25 armored divisions, and 5 independent divisions of artillery. It would not be long before the massive force poured upon Bearmish like a river of destruction, yet preparations had to be made in order to secure the day for Parthia.

Satellite scans made the first move, searching for radar signals and suspected military installations, pinpointing them, before giving their GPS coordinates to the Parthian base in Ort. Within three minutes, 10,000 cruise missiles were flying from the tubes towards their targets, guided towards each individual one through the use of GPS. Runways were targetted with missiles designed to break into three submunitions, which would dive into the ground and crater the runway into oblivion, other areas considered 'soft targets' were hit with incindiary warheads, while the vast majority faced high explosive warheads consisting of several hundred pounds of ONC explosives.

The next move was called into action, with Parthian troops creating a line 10 miles south of Bearmish, upon which, the 35,000 long range artillery guns of the unit opened fire, pouring in a total of 20 MT of munitions every hour upon the city. The objective was simple, envelop the city and besige it, starving the defenders inside and render the entire thing into a series of craters devoid of all life with the careful use of artillery.

once you destroy the city which you already have, it will be, as you say, a burning crater in the ground with no use, no point.
Do not go any further east or we will launch an air strike from Yrttal.

And our president is an ex-terrorist. so don't mess.

from:
Mr. Rukabi Xuim, Foreign minister of Zanski.

Official Parthian Declaration

If you seek to save Bearmish from our continued barrage, then pull out of the nation, otherwise, we will be forced to smash your forces with the continued outpouring of munitions. In addition, we will call your threats and show you the proper way to force a nation to submit.

-Shah Khosru III

Parthian 5th Army

The barrage continued incessantly, with 10 groups of 5500 guns each targetting suspected military installations for 1 hour barrages, before moving on to the next suspected target. MLRS joined in as the 5th Army moved within 5 miles of the city, as did heavy mortars, blasting random targets in the city with 15,000 more peices of artillery, raining death upon their heads.

In the skies above, 350 ACI-73 fighters provided air cover as 35 B-9 stealth bombers and 150 B-52Hs moved upon the city, dropping incindiary ammunition designed to create massive self-sustaining fire storms, each one a whirling tornado of flame ripping through the city at temperatures hot enough to set asphalt on fire.

Now, the Parthians moved to the next target, Yrttal. 15,000 missiles flew from the tubes built in the Parthian base of Ort, flying towards targets in Yttral. 5,000 of them were directed towards aircraft facilities, runways were targetted with munitions designed to break into several submunitions and crater the runways beyond use. Homes and commercial areas were hit with fuel-air warheads, while military areas suffered from hits by high explosive warheads.

At the same time, 350 ACI-73 stealth fighters moved into the area near Yttral, while 150 B-52Hs moved towards the city, loaded with incindiary explosives designed to create firestorms that would destroy the entire city.

20 million Troops have been flown into Zanski in order to save the city of Yrttal.

I will not R.P until I get a response from another Coalition member, so, The Parthians, do not move forward yet

20 million Troops have been flown into Zanski in order to save the city of Yrttal.

OOC: Mild point of contention, how does a nation of 785,000,000 deploy 20,000,000 troops to a foreign country? Maybe you could mobilize that many for defensive reasons if your nation gets invaded, but it would be hard for a nation of less than about 1.5-2 billion to send that many troops overseas and then supply them. If this deployment happened, that would mean you will have deployed about 5% of your total population in armed forces to Chitzeland, and unless you give them trucks to carry them around and AK-47s to shoot with, its well nigh impossible to create a force that big at your size unless your paying 50% of your budget into the army.

that's quite a good point.
Make it 3 Million. But i still need a coalition response.

OOC:
I don't really understand how effective you intend a GPs guided round is going to be on a moving target (the HT-101 AFVs with their 35 mm cannons)

FB-3C
The base was almost a complete loss, the consolation prize was that they gave casualties far exceeding what the enemy anticipated, they would soon have to replace their forces, then the real "fun" begins.

FB-3A
Still fired their 18" shells weighing 1 ton each at former FB-3C, a few thermite penetrator rounds burned holes into the running tracks of the main guns. One of them actually welded the track to the gun itself, putting it out of action.

A few of the penetrators merely burned on top of the bunker, and failed to penetrate the earthen bunkers at all.
(seen thermite demos, they burn through RHA great, but not nearly so well against dirt and sand, especially if at an angle, which it then dribbles off like rainwater)

(ironic thing is, thermite was used in the railroad days to weld the rails together in the field)

Skies over FB-3C
The remaining 5 FMX-6Bs made a fighting withdrawl, not really disengaeing, but just slowly dragging the fight to another location, to clear the skies for the less nimble UL-2000 ("CAS-kites", as the PROHT unofficially troops call them) much smaller, these ultralights are essentially a holdover from the great revolution, armed with a MG, and two rocket launchers, and a box of grenades; they fought more like the first warplanes to fight in the Great War, and with the skies clear and the tanks gone, they moved in to mop up the enemy foot soldiers in droves, 200 planes in all.

...
Now, the Parthians moved to the next target, Yrttal. 15,000 missiles flew from the tubes built in the Parthian base of Ort, flying towards targets in Yttral. 5,000 of them were directed towards aircraft facilities, runways were targetted with munitions designed to break into several submunitions and crater the runways beyond use. Homes and commercial areas were hit with fuel-air warheads, while military areas suffered from hits by high explosive warheads.

At the same time, 350 ACI-73 stealth fighters moved into the area near Yttral, while 150 B-52Hs moved towards the city, loaded with incindiary explosives designed to create firestorms that would destroy the entire city.

Thats a rule-breaker. you have to fire the missiles then wait for the response.
Which is..

Seargent Tom Abidala saw the missiles on the radar.
He turned to Private Tua, who was eating a donut.
Tua turned to face Serg. Tom."MM, these donuts are good. where are they from?"
Tom looked at him.
"Fire two Hydrogen bombs and get the fuck out of the area."
Tua dropped his donut.
"At what?" He said, confused.
" Well, I don't know. Maybe it's the 15,000 fuel-air warheads heading straight for us, or maybe it's the several million Parthian soldiers just one hundred and seventy two miles away."
A tear trickled from Tom's eye. He phoned President Jarak Arma, who was expert in tactics and bombs, as he was an ex-freedom fighter.
"Fire them at the warheads. Make sure they hit no troops, as then you will have the blame if our home country gets a hole the size of Xanka (the capital). I will get New Gharrakland to deploy it's 20,000 troops. Then get ready to die. If the troops get more than ten miles away from the city limits, fly all soldiers out of Chitzeland. The citizens are out, so nuke the city. leave nothing behind. As soon as The Parthians are out, we're back in."

"O--kay..."

Three H-bombs were fired. Over 9.2 million troops prepared to die.
90 Anti-warhead guns were switched on. 80 long-range gun turrets were prepared for action.

OOC: I apologize, I thought the AFVs were standing still and dug into defensive positions. By the way, tell me beforehand how I should RP this infectious

FB-3C

The Parthians swarmed over the rest of the base as the ground defenders seemed to melt away, leaving little in the way of demolition crews from setting explosives in the gun bunkers, hundreds of pounds of ONC total on the guns and in the mountainside positions, then, from above, hundreds of apparently obsolete ground attack aircraft tore apart hundreds of men in the apparent air assault, before the AGS now turned their attention to them. Infrared guided missiles streaked out of the coaxial missile launchers towards the planes in the skies. But the worst came when the radios called in for support from an air attack.


The ACI-73s turned rapidly around as the commanders heard the message and ordered the rest of the planes in their wings to move, kicking in afterburners and rocketing towards FB-3C. As they moved in, 350 short range infrared missiles flew towards the enemy planes, before they opened fire with their 20mm ETC cannons.

FB-3A

The C-130s now made their move, this time, one that would be much more well prepared. The first ones began to drop their gear and men from the D regiment of the paratroops division, along with a similar number of AGS, but this time, the Parthians had special plans for the defenders. 5 C-130s moved overhead, before each individually dropping a single daisy cutter upon enemy positions, hoping to destroy anything they had.

Soon, the paratroops would descend on another enemy stronghold.

FAC-0001, dock facility road, midnight

Coming in under the cover of darkness, the five Pudite transport ships silently slid up to the end of the large piers extending from he newly begun Foreign Commandery. The front of each ship opened up, dispatching fifty or so men from each, who began clearing the piers of all debris, clutter, unloaded supplies, and building materials with the aid of three LV-08s from each ship. Quickly joining in was the small force of dock workers finishing the unloading of construction materials from a pair of smaller ships bobbing quietly near the larger vessels. In under a half an hour the piers were clear, and the noise began.

At first it sounded more like an airplane taking off than anything else, but soon it settled into a lower rhythm, that of a giant engine. As it continued, the sources began to immerge. From the belly of the five ships rolled the massive tracked forms of the GA-5 immovable artillery pieces. Standing nearly thirty feet tall, eight feet wide, and twenty five feet long, this beast of an artillery piece is a new addition to the Pudite armory, and these five pieces were the first to be shipped overseas.

The pier creaked unsettlingly as they passed over it, one even cracking as the piece left it, putting the weight now on the pavement of the dock road, which was constructed three days ago to be able to take this strain, and so it handled it better. These GA-5s were destined for the five separate Commanderys under construction across Foreign District One. They would from then on be stationed there, as a warning to any supposed attackers in the future.

FB-3C
The UL-2000s where well outmatched, the prospects of mere motorized hang gliders doing a stand up fight with modern jet aircraft where nil. Instead, they aimed low, flying at and below the treetops, and some of the more inclined piots flew through the forested swmps themselves.

On the ground the last of the PROHT(ish) soldiers twitched and died, and the last tanks where burning. FB-3C had finally been won, for the time being...

Pelsgord-Providence Highway 5 miles north of Pelsgord
The 3.2 divisions continued to march to the front to aid in the comon defense of Chitzeland.

1 Elite Chitzeland Div 15000
1 Regular Chitzeland Div 15000
1 Augmented PROHT Logistics Div 15000
1 PROHT Mechanized Marine Brigade 5000

About 50,000 troops

OOC
Wheren't your AGS destroyed by the 15 FMX-6Bs? I'd also like to know how much ECM you have protecting those ever so vital C-130s.

Pudu's uber guns look dangerously top heavy...

Side refferance:
PROHT wouldn't send 5% of its main Active force (15 dividsions), let alone 20%, just for "someone else's war". PROHT buracrats had to twist each other's arms just to squeeze 1% of their main forces.

Total forces: (not involved)
Marines 300 divisions 2 million men (Do most of the fighting, unless it fits in a catagory below them)
Army 900 divisions 6 million men (Only used defending PROHT interests)
CDF: 5,000,000,000 men (rarely used if ever)

OOC
Wheren't your AGS destroyed by the 15 FMX-6Bs? I'd also like to know how much ECM you have protecting those ever so vital C-130s.


OOC:
About 75 of the 150 AGS were destroyed, which means that they have lost about half of their main firepower, but not necessarily all of it. As for the C-130s, mostly jamming devices designed to prevent missiles from locking on by creating a massive cloud of electronic junk around them.

IC:

FB-3C

The Parthian paratroops now set the charges off on the major guns, collapsing the very mountains the hidden bunkers were built into while those still on the rails exploded in mushroom clouds. A significant amount of PROHT offensive capability was demolished, and now, all that remained was to move on to support the assault of FB-3A.

Worringly, some of the wounded were beginning to hallucinate, around 150 of the 500 wounded soldiers were doing so. It would be looked at, as the blackhawk helicopters moved in to scoop up those needing evacuation and take them to Ort.

With the helicopters gone, the Parthian regiment now moved back towards FB-3A, where another regiment of paratroops had now dropped upon the PROHT defenders. It would not be long before they too were overtaken.

FB-3A, AA control hut
The outside of FB-3A was a smoking ruin, the earth was scarred by repeated Thermite, HEAT and bomb runs, one of the 4 tanks took a missile down the throat and was now a burned out wreck, which now became a control room for further defensive operations.
Inside
The radarman blinked, and then gave an almost audiable crapping noise.

Based from previously hard earned experiance, it looked like the enemy had a liking for FAEs, and the speed of the planes matched that of a stack of Air assualt planes, number unknown. But if they had weapons even half as powerful as theirs, he'd bet good money that eacgh of those planes had at least one 5 ton FAE on each of them. He got up, infomed the CO that jamming was preventing him from identifying the next attack, but it looked like a full bore FAE attack.

the CO of the artillry battery then phoned OTC-1 and 2 which in turn would allocate whatever it could to foil the enemy.

The planes where still outside of range for the 35 mm cannons, but the 18" might be able to get a few EMP shells off, but little else could be done from where they sat, a semi-practiced evacuation of the base came into effect.

The wild blue yonder in the Notrh.
The 5 FMX-6Bs, now freed of their pursuers, turned their attention to a radio call for a few good interceptrs, the target being unescorted C-130s on what appeared to be a kamakazi bomb run over FB-3A. Coincedently, these 5 planes happened to still be in one piece and where the closest planes around.

A few of them sighed, they had just narrowly escaped death and now they where going back again, such was the life of a PROHT Marine.

They plotted a course for intercept.

The wild blue yonder in the far South.
The MPP-2s landed, the shells had stopped, they lost. Time for step 2. In each plane was a 15 ton behomoth of a mine, which would be more correctly called an unmanned submersable torpedo boat with 6 F/SC Torpedoes.

They where then launched, the MPP-2s then set their clocks and prepared to time their attacks when the first mine comes within range of the enemy fleet.

New Roanoke Island Intelligence Center
After careful observation, it was figured that the enemy was useing spy satalites and GPS navigation to gain a tactical advantage over them, it was therfore deemed necessary to use their own satalites to knock out all satalites over Chitzeland. For which the HTS-1 was well suited, though it was nearing the end of its service life. It was armed with 4 small rockets (6" dia), an areosol paint can, and a Radar jammer that could be set to fry electronics at close range. If all that failed they would instruct the thing to ram the other thing.

HTS-1 is in a polar orbit, nearly perpindicular to the usaul geostationary orbit, although it may alter this for a slightly longer duration within range of target satalite in Geostationary orbit.

OOC: You'd laugh if you knew why their not.

FB-3A

The paratroops moved towards the firebase, cutting through the wooded underbrush as AGS moved forward, knocking down trees and shrubs alike. M-777 pack howitzers dropped from the plane were set up, they were to fire once the soldiers had got into range for visual sightings and laser designators, but more importantly, the C-130s moving ahead carried the FAEs towards their targets. While apparently alone, the flight of C-130s had a flight of stealth fighters moving from Ort a few miles behind them, ACI-73s, each waiting for a radar signal or visual sighting of an enemy plane in the area. Once those were obtained, they would activate afterburners and fly towards the enemy at full speed, hoping to protect the planes on the way back.

Parthian Grand Fleet, anchored near Ort

The 350 ships of the Parthian expeditionary fleet noticed them moving in on radar, several small, slow flying blips. Commercial air traffic had not been noticed for the past weeks, meaning they could only be one thing, enemy transport aircraft, probably carrying fuel air explosives.

The Parthian fleet was quick to respond, unloading 75 SAMs upon the enemy aircraft, before ordering their overhead naval aircraft to scramble, 35 ACI-73s moved towards the enemy planes, following the missiles, readying their own HAMRAAM medium range missiles. Once within range, they unloaded 25 more missiles, bringing the total facing the enemy aircraft to 100. Soon enough, the fighters would be right near them, within range to tear them apart with guns.

Shahriar Space Command Center, Bushehr, Parthia

The Parthian Space command was active in the recent war, helping to reorganize spy satellites and GPS guidance systems for the war effort, but more importantly, they had begun to worry in the past few days of potential interceptions. Several PROHT satellites had been documented as part of the war effort, and thus far, no intention was made for interception, though the Shah's forces could do so if need arose. All that had to be done was the mildest change in orbital pattern, shifting the angle at which it moved around the earth, or even slowing down or speeding up the orbit speed, then, the Shah would be forced to respond as soon as it happened. Anything that brought an increased threat to Parthian satellites would be responded to by intercepting them before they could strike.

OOC:

All this may come off quite negative, though it isn't. Parthians chose not to rationalize its involvement in Chitzeland's affairs and failed to make any arrangements with either Chitzeland/PROHT, the coalition, or East Chitzeland/Emporer Pudu. Parthians is therefore going to be attacked with the utmost ferocity that PROHT et als paltry forces can sustain.

And does Parthians realize that Kravania decided Chitzeland wasn't worth it and left the fight yet? (on page 35)

Most planes have a blind spot below them, so long as the bombadier/jumpmaster doesn't pay too close attention. Also, the FMX-6B is faster, and closer to FB-3A than the C-130s, meaning they would intercept them during/before the bomb run. RADAR lock would be difficult to achive, especially with all the local jamming and the nature of the FMX-6Bs design, jamming generally affects all sensors, even yours.

Semi-OOC/IC
Also, it would be fair to say that spy satalites change their orbits rather frequently, PROHT does have other countries to worry about, not just lil ol Chitzeland, otherwise Parthians would've been pushed into the sea and back to his own country via PROHT task forces the Army, and PROHT's massive air wings, all of which are completely non-existant in this conflict. With the exception of a single cruiser beached in Herholtzer and 20 modern CAS planes, now down to 10.

FB-3C had a garison of only 80 people, 4 light tanks, 4 mortars, and eight 12" long range cannons, Parthians attacked it with an entire battalion and lost 75 light tanks, and a sizeable number of men, plus has a number of wounded with an unknown substance in their bloodsteam heading to their HQ for 'treatment', the simplest/safest being a bullet in the head.

And now PROHT has 3 divisions marching towards Parthian's 5th army in some little place called Pelsgord. So let the Battle of Pelsgord begin in earnest.

New Roanoke Island
Good timing would play a key part in taking out Parthian satalites, since any sensing of hostilities would start a fight in space, PROHT's 'tricked out' RF-4HT launch plane could be called in for some heart to heart against some of the GPS, while a few satalites would get only one pass to get a good shot at the enemy spy satalites, polar/diagnal orbits, every so often will naturally intercept geostationary ones, except this time it would happen all at once.

Somewhere NNE of Pelsgord
The 3 divisons (and one brigade) knew they would encounter the enemy soon, to improve moral, PROHT troops woyuld be at both the front and rear of the force, with the two Chitzi divisions in the middle, there would be no fear of desertion, the SF division officers - the ones who marched 25 miles to OTC-1 while being shot at by their own instructors and survived, the lower 10% shot by their own upon graduation - had a sever blood lust instilled upon them, would never tolerate such insubordination, and everyone else knew it.

Northern yonder
The FMX-6Bs spotted their quarry, 5 C-130s, flying slow, low and level for their impending bomb drop; they would make easy targets, one per fighter. Yet something was odd, no apparent escort, unless that would be a trap; ah well, never know how it would tur out till you try. Just to be safe they fly lower than the C-130s, blending into the heavily forested background with their new camoflage paint scheme, even if it did slightly increas RCS, it shouldn't matter, the C-130s had enough jamming the place looked like split pea soup on a radarscope, moving at a nice easy 225 mph (they'll have to slow to 150 to open the rear doors for the daisy cutters, or else end up like the Comet). They noticed a few plumes of smoke at FB-3C behind them, and smiled, a job well done at any rate.

Endnote OOC:
Ooh, Ooh ooh!
Pudu's guns are kept upright by blimps thethered to their tops, this also alleviates the strain on the docks... And explains the hieght if you included the blimps.
Or, he is including the hieght with radio arial raised, or some other light structure.
Or, the narrowness of the streets prevent them from falling over.
Or, the guns are to be buried brfore firing.
Or, his 'guns' are actually rockets.

OOC:

I'm aware of that, and the fact that the C-130s dont have any ability to detect anything with their own jamming systems active. You've got them, but once they go down, or the planes get attacked, it invites response.

Furthermore, your assertion that you could push the Parthians into the sea based off my tactical error of withdrawing air support for the paratroops is a bit faulty. For one, I have enough manpower to prevent such an occurance. Look no further than the force I have deployed against Bearmish, which Zanski still has not moved to the defense of. I do have one question though, have any satellites changed orbits thus far or are they still in a relativley similar orbit?

OOC:
Yeah they are sort of half expecting something like that...

The pushing you into the sea bit was reffering to the 1st 24 hrs of your invasion, when my artillery had you pinned for the day. Had PROHT considered Chitzeland anything more than a mere plaything we would have at least 45 divisions in chitzeland, 15 of which would've been in Ort awaiting your arrival. It had nothing to do with your attack on FB-3C.

Still, the kill/death ratio at FB-3C was insanely off balance, even outnumbered 20 to 1 and with almost no armor they gave you a beating. Destroyed half your armor, and a large number of troops merely from the 12" guns, well in excess of 1,000 men during its short service life.

No, none of the satalites are diong anything super special, just aiming their missiles at your satalites, going to be tough when both objects are moving at 45 degree anges of each other and at insane velocities, so that rules out the microwaveing of your sats, but I can still lob rockets and paint at you. The rockets have continueus rod warheads. And paint'll tend to cut down on the sun your sats are getting for power, and prevent you from getting pictures.

Also I understand you now have something in the area of 100 Divisions in the area. It wouldn't be too difficult for me to free up 900 divisions, the only hard part is getting enough boats and enough public support in this little business venture. Attacking them old rusty satalites might just perk the average PROHTian's interest in the issue to get 300 of those divisions over here. You could also then expect cutting edge avionics in the skies instead of leftovers from last year's production line model.

Are you willing to take that risk?

I could "push you into the sea" if, and only if: your country does something to anger the common PROHTian, 80 Marines and a few uber artillery won't make much fuss, but shooting down a cruiser, invadeing a country, blowing up 2 commercial MPP-2s, AND shooting satalites. That WILL get their full and undivided attention. You see, they don't have much information on the subject yet, PROHT ministry of News is withholding this until it has a full canvas to work on.

IC
Message to Zanski
RE: Bearmish/Pelsgord Pincer
Please jold Bearmish to the last man, PROHT has 3 divisions rounding their way behind them. If you may call on artillery stikes at you liesure from FB-2B and FB-2C. FBG-4 will focus on slowing down Parthinain reinforcements.

Also, be aware that a high proportion of these troops are Chitzi, please don't shoot them, also, PROHT has no real obligation to help you, since we are not actually sided with the coalition. Expect massive reinforcements in the area of 50 divisions coming very soon.

5 miles south of FB-3B yes B, not A or C, located right between the two.
The FMX-6Bs where in position, one under each C-130, then the lead plane climbed, took careful aim with his 35 mm cannon, and fired, followed shortly after by the other 4 planes. Each made sure to rake the underide completely, especialy the cargo holds, where the paratroops/bombs where, if the odd landing gear and bay doors where jammed under the volly, so much the better. The flight leader still didn't feel as if everything was all right, and kept scanning the horizon for anything that didn't fit into the perfect interception scenario, like those fighters that decided to turn around suddenly; they could'e done that to escort these plane, but where were they? He did notice a few ground sloggers marching toward FB-3A, and they didn't look like happy campers with that pack howitzer they where lugging. He radiod FB-3B to get ready to interdict a column marching alongside.

OOC: If you intend to mobilize for full scale war, then we can match, right now, this is not considered especially taxing on Parthia, but, if you make the moves towards it, then it could be done. Our intent was to simply force you to the table by hitting your offensive capability, then extract control over Ort and the surrounding area for free. Though you are mistaken on my deployment, I have 280 divisions approaching Bearmish, and about 50 others in Ort.

IC:

FB-3A
The lead C-130s carrying the fuel air explosives were ripped apart, blown to bits as the planes tore into them with their rounds, sending them crashing down into the forest below.

But now, the tables were turned, as the remaining C-130s dropped the jamming systems, then revealed the area to the ACI-73s radar systems. The 5 enemy planes were now 30 miles away, quite a simple and short distance for the 75 HAMRAAMs the fighters discharged upon the enemy as they closed in with afterburners and prepared the next pair of short range missiles they carried.

Now, with the Paratroop advance forces looking upon the enemy positions, laser designators began to point out the enemy hardened points, such as tanks, weapons nests, and even the firing pedestals for the guns. Within minutes, the coordinates were wired back to the 105mm howitzwers fire control computers, with all 15 guns taking aim with HE shells upon the enemy targets.

As soon as the first shells started landing, the Parthian AGS opened fire upon the base, hitting them with their 105mm guns from 850m away. 30mm cannons on the other AGS joined in, spraying the targetted firebase with explosive rounds, while the Parthian soldiers took cover, preparing for the barrage to end with either the destruction of the defenders or a last ditch charge across a killing field of firepower.

Line Bearmish, South of the City

The 15000 Parthian artillery pieces continued to pour fire on the city, as they had done for five hours already. ACI-73s moved overhead, continuing to wait for the enemy response. As the guns continued to fire, the Parthians both maneuvered and set up lines that slowly were cutting off the city, moving to surround it and prevent the Zanski soldiers from either reinforcing or pulling out, trapping them in a killzone. Parthian commanders intended on one thing, that a partially surrounded city would force the enemy soldiers to flee, granting Parthia control over the area without a prolonged seige.

Ort

3 batteries of guns were offloaded from the recently arrived container vessel. Each was a simple assemly, consisting of a railgun and power generator. These nine weapons, capable of propelling a shell into space and down onto enemy targets, would be sufficent to maximize counterbattery fire against PROHT rail gun units.

Now was time for the "Alamo" 15th edition:
Chitzeland, north
With the Jammers down, the entire Parthian force was exposed to all 12 SAM sites, which opened up with all 48 Patriot missiles from FBs 3A and 3B. 35 mm cannons fired at whatever came within range, .50 cal MGs where trained on the paras jumpering out of the C-130s, they would give no quarter.

Also, it was noticed on radar that they where firing shells, a few artillery calls where given to FB-3B (suprisingly overlooked) with their eight 14" guns, started raining half ton shells upon the paratroop's rear and artillery.

The FMX-6Bs dove down as soon as they saw the rocket flashes, some just did so because being so high up felt exposed. The flight leader saw a mass of planes, and a clump of ragged paras he saw earlier, he decided to strafethem and pump out a EMP-S pod for good measure, hope those AGS and radios are EMP resistant. As he was doing so a HAMRAAM smacked into the plane next to him, which carreened into a gun position and burst into flames as it slid into ready ammo rounds. He and the others flew as low as they dared, one didn't pull up in time or something, because he now would have a mouthful of tree when they send his casket home.

FB-3A opened up full salvo with its 8 5" mortars, and their 8 tanks rolled forward, shooting... whatever... One charged a 105 mm howitzer, shells bouncing off its front plate. They then fired 60 short 6" incindiary/WP rockets into the enemy, most likely causing serious injury/death to whoever would be unlucky to get a shard of White Phosopherous shrapnel in them. Again, it wasn't long until a sizeable fire broke out. Behind each HT-101 was 5 "infantry" using the tank as cover from the small arms fire, as they picked off flanking AT gun crews and men with flamethrowers with well aimed rifle fire.

Atop one of the gun mounts was a sniper with a .50 cal MG, picking off anybody even looking as if they were behaving like an officer, or anything that even looked like someone trying to rally up the enemy's moral.

To the east, those who evacuated from FB-3A stood by and watched, until one of them picked up an assault rifle, yelled "HURT THEM PLENTY!" and charged, followed shortly after by all the rest. 80 peaple in all.

(FB-3A has 4 18" batteries 150 people)

Space, over Chitzeland
The satalites "opened fire" with paint and rockets, the paint being more likely to hit them, but the rockets would cause more damage and had more range. The plane to at least temporarily blind the enemy was underway.

FBs 2B and 2C
Opened fire upon the recently - hopefully - blinded Parthinan troops attacking Bearmish. 100 pound shells at a rate of one shell every 3 seconds.

FBs 4A and 4B
After recently hearing of the blindsiding of Parthians's survailence systems, gave their usual "howdy do" to Ort. 100 lb shells at a rate of 2 shells every 15 seconds.

OOC:
I may have only 1/5th of your population, but I also have a whopping 1/3rd of your defense budget. 1/3 div by 1/5 = PROHT 5:3 Parth, $ per man ratio. And don't think I've squandered it all on chocolate tanks!

PROHT also matches your police budget dollar for dollar. (This is how I finance the CDF)

Space over Chitzeland

Five Parthian satellites, 3 GPS devices, and 2 spy satellites were over Chitzeland at the time. As the space based military technology began to detect the incoming rockets and other projectiles, the Parthian space assets initiated a quick defensive sequence, each firing off 4 of the 10 microsatellites they carried. Termed brilliant pebbles, they were designed for two things, to prevent anti-satellite weaponry from hitting Parthian satellites, and to destroy enemy satellites if need called for it. Each of them launched off, setting themselves upon enemy projectiles and exploding, destroying or setting them off course.

Unfortunatley, even the best defenses were unable to save a pair of the satellites, one spy satellite was hit by paint and was unable to either take photographs or recharge power from the sun, while a GPS satelitte was hit by a rocket and exploded, creating a blackout area near the FB-3 zone.

Parthia had taken a beating, and now would be unable to utilize spy satellites until the remaining one had returned to its position over Chitzeland. The geosyncronous GPS system was now too, damaged. It would take time before replacements were found, but if any indication was made further attacks would come from PROHT satellites, then the Shahdom would use every capability to knock out their satellite network.

FB-3A

The remaining C-130s revealed that they were still an effective match for enemy missiles, even with their jammers down as the radar waves from the Patriot missiles were responded to with pods on the bottom of the aircraft, emitting precise waves of the opposite frequency upon the enemy radars, creating a destructive interference which caused missile tracking systems to be confused into believing their targets had been reached and blowing up. 12 were still destroyed due to minor miscalculations, while another 10 were hit by enemy ground fire as they pulled off. The Parthian planes were not so forgiving for the transgressions against them, as 35 F/A-91s fired upon the batteries with a total of 70 radar guided missiles. The ACI-73s, meanwhile, flew against the enemy planes, firing 100 short range AAMs before diving upon them and firing with cannons, drawing away attention as the C-130s flew back.

Troops on the ground now took cover as the EMP destroyed the operating radios and laser designator transmitters, forcing the artillery to continue to fire upon the previously designated positions, as their numbers began to lessen as enemy artillery began to rain down upon them too. AGS were hardened from EMP, but they were being hit by shells from FB-3B as they moved on the firebase. Infantry were being burned by white phosphorus, fires were burning through the woods, but the AGS now concentrated their fire, hitting enemy HT-101s with DU sabots, while 30mm shells designed to airburst sprayed the enemy.

As the artillery moved on them, the Parthians charged on the suppressed enemy positions, with some squads manning 30mm cannons pouring suppressive fire onto enemy gun positions. Parthian troops fired their rifles as they charged, hoping to keep enemy troops in cover as they moved in as a gigantic human wave, pouring fire into the hopelessly outnumbered enemy.


FB-3B

The Parthian troops from FB-3C were now moving upon the firebase 3B, with the remaining AGS leading the effort as they pumped rounds into the enemy armor with DU sabots, while Parthian troops set up 30mm cannons to spray enemy positions with a hail of fire. As the suppressive fire was laid down, the Parthians advanced quickly, spraying gunfire as they advanced from cover to cover, with the remaining forces in back continuing to suppress enemy positions with gunfire.

Over Chitzeland

Five SR-99 Aurora type spyplanes flew overhead, outside the atmosphere, invisible to radar. They were hypersoar aircraft flying from Parthia at mach 10, deployed once the satellites had been knocked out. It took only an hour and a half to reach across the world, and now, flying over Chitzeland, they were to do exactly what the satellites did, observe for muzzle flashes and determine the location of the final firebases.

Those firebases were raining hell upon both Ort and the 5th corps, creating a total of 3500 casualties, less in Ort, where Parthia had begun to station troops in schools and hospitals, using civilians as human shields to protect them from attack.

Once the planes landed and technicans went over the film, the Parthians would strike back.

OOC, list of comments
Um, Parthia, you killed all the Chitzis in Ort when you invaded, you have no "Human Shield", you also gutted all the buildings with that great firestorm idea of yours, so you are m ost likely taking a shelling in prefab housing and ruins.

Those PROHT satalites are old and canmtankerous beasts. Financially, if you shoot one down it gives me an excuse to send up something better. Not much is keeping them from ramming into your satalites, except polotics. PROHT, as you've seen so far, hardly uses its satalites, and could send replacements up for almost the same cost as a few Sparrow misslies. (long story). Sending those Auroras into the fight shows one thing though, you desprately want this place bad.

Spy planes also can't loiter like a satalite. Makes getting a muzzle flash on tape a bit tough.

FB-3A and FB-3B are 25 miles apart from each other. You'd be pretty spread out if you stretched your forces like that.

I don't belive sppressive fire works very well against mortars (in foxholes), tanks, and bunkers...

Ever hear of Guadocanal and the battle for Henderson field? 2,554 japaese troops stormed 4 Browning water cooled MGs, american estimates of japaese dead numbed 2,200, it was held by 34 american riflemen. 17 of the remaining troops then ran what was left of them off the island the next day. You're up against 150 miflemen.

FB-3A
the Radar hut was destroyed utterly, the missile launchers where completely empy of missiles by the time the ASMs arrived. The HT-101s seeing obne of their tanks take a DU in the nose, responded in kind, pumping rapid fire 6" anti-tank rockets at the AGS.

The FMX-6Bs flew low, another one couldn't be seen by the lead pilot, most likely dead, he did a few offhand strafings, jinking constantly to throw off the fighters' aimed canon fire, flying to low and too close to the fires for missiles to have any real accuracy, another plane flew through a WP cloud and didn't come out, he didn't care whose plane it was, it was still a horrible way to die.

The sniper on the rooftop noticed a charge starting, and shot the lead man, he then continued pelting away on full automatic, he then inserted another 200 round belt, then doused the overheating barrel with water, and resumed firing. The spotter kept pointing out targets and prepareing the next box of ammo. (sniper team with .50 cal MG)

The 35 mm and .50 cal gun positions noticed the FMXs were having a tough time of it out there, and decided to 'help' by opning fire upon the ACI-73s.

The 80 men charged in on the paras from the southeast, giving a distinctly unearthly cry. Firing on the move, they lept upon the flank of the enemy, with almost unmatched ferocity and zeal. The thick swamp barely seemed to slow them down any.*

Pelsgord
The 4.2 PROHT/Chitzi contingent arrived, they expected to meet Parthian forces by now, but there were none, so then they marched NW to Bearmish to help their potential borderline allies.

OTC-1 and OTC-2
Started sacrificing quality for quantity, making 'one week wonders' to bolster PROHT/Chitzi ranks, forming another 30 divisions worth of troops to be mixed with whatever remained of the veteran divisions. They would have to learn the finer points while en route to combat, they were sent to FB-3A via train.

OOC: I havent necessarily killed all Chitzis, I've used most of the rest for human sheilds, as per standard practice. Theres not many left, and of course, its impossible to utilize enough to protect all my troops, but it is fine to use for certain units barracks, even if most of the city is in ruins and about 90% of the population dead.

I am aware it will be much more difficult to find all muzzle flashes, but tracking a few down shouldnt be too much of an issue, especially since they usually fire for prolonged periods.

Just out of curiosity, did you respond to the attack on FB-3B

The AGS enjoyed a single advantage apparently the other tanks did not have, explosive reactive armor which prevented most of the missiles from even penetrating. Two exploded after missiles managed to hit the panels one after the other, destroying the panel before the second tore through the hull below it and penetrated into the AGS, but it would hardly matter, the AGS now responded with another accurate barrage of laser target finders upon the enemy tanks with DU sabots, hoping to shut each of them down.

The ACI-73s noticed fire coming from the ground, easy enough to avoid since the guns the enemy was using was unsuitable for attacking aircraft, but a lucky shot from a 35mm gun tore the wing off an ACI-73 and sent it falling towards the ground with the pilot bailing out.

Payback came swiftly as 25 A-12s moved on the firebase, firing their 30mm guns at enemy positions, before dropping 500lb bombs. They continuously strafed and bombed, hoping to silence enemy heavy weapons while the Parthians charged in.

The 80 soldiers charging on the flank made a critical mistake, the Shah's men were there in great number. 250 Parthian paratroops on the flank simply dropped into cover and then began loosing rifle grenades and 3 round bursts on the enemy soldiers advancing. They would hold position while the rest of the force advanced, pinning the PROHT forces in cover while the remainder smashed into the firebase. Once the other regiment had taken FB-3B, they could all be evacuated back to Ort.

Ort

Reports had come in of a relativley large force by standards of the PROHT deployment in the area. Four divisions and a brigade were marching on Bearmish from Pelsgord, meaning that they would have to be attacked first.

Four divisions, 3 mechanized infantry and 1 armored division were sent to meet the PROHT forces before they reached Bearmish, a simple feat achievable by fast moving mechanized divisions designed for the ideal mobility of a modern battlefield.

Soon, Parthia would meet a significant force of PROHT soldiers in battle against a significant force of their own. Though they knew nothing of the size of a PROHT division, they assumed it would be equal to the 20,000 strong mechanized Infantry and 1500 MBT strong armor divisions fielded by Parthia.

FB-3B is being attacked by the remaining paratroops from FB-3C, in other words, 75 AGS, with 40 armed with 105mm ETC guns, and the rest of them with 30mm automatic cannon, along with roughly 3500 troops.

OOC
---snip---
Technical note:
DU APDS of 105 mm would slice through most ERA anyways, HT-101s have composite bolt on armour and inserts. This raises the "APC" up to the 25 ton catagory. Low velocity 105 mm and <90 mm HEAT would simply 'bounce'.

Yes, I do know that DU rounds have incendiary properties.

Also, from what I believe, the 80 man charge was behind your left flank, but then I assumed you assaulted FB-3A from the south.

IC
FB-3B
The almost empty HT-101 IFVs chatged and absorbed the APDS like sponges, the shells often knocking out the drivetrain and a few shells simply went clear through. With such fire going about, the HT-101s wasted no time firing their flares and rockets at the enemy

One of the 14" guns was loaded with a "beehive" round (which was actually a 1000 pound munitions carrier round set to break upon firing) and leveled it at the enemy

The defenders (what was left of the 4 tank and half the 40 man picket line) then "retreated" to the resserve trenches (covered with whithering fire by the 4 MC-5 Heavy Mortars - in foxholes, protected by CM-249 MGs - firing IR terminal homing HEAT shells and .50 cal/35 mm fully automatic Sniper fire from atop the surrounding hills and in the trees 8 such guns [this was the rest of the picket line units]) almost right next to the guns. Followed shortly after by the 14" gun going off in the direction of the enemy. The defending artillerymen then charged, using the disabled HT-101s and trench system as cover.

OOC
I guess it is a bit late to point out the specifics of the 5" mortar ammunition, such as passive IR terminal homing AT shells (http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/pgmm.htm), cluster munition etc.

PROHT's current commitment is, compared to what I have to offer, nothing of any value or consequnce. OOCly it just taxes the RP experiance by trying to fight an artificialy bigger force.

11th Mobile Div

Another 20 mobile Divisions (in late stages of training)

Planned: (if conflict escalates)
10 Mechanized Divisions
50 Mobile Divisions

New Roanoke Island
It was being decided whether or not to send more troops into Chitzeland, or to pull out, or to hold fast and hope for the best.

Plans where in motion to send the rest of the 402nd Heavy rail division to augment what would remain of Charlie Brigade - 4th Battalion, along with 20 Logistics divisions peremently attached (one per battalion) to adaquately supply and defend the guns from potential attacks. (This was the "Normal" manner the railguns would be used in a "real" conflict) It was also speculated to send in 60 Army divisions for "PKO training". This would bring direct PROHT forces in Chitzeland to 82 Divisions.

Others speculated the training facilities and their effectiveness at soaking up casualties that would othewise go to PROHT Marines. It was predicted that Chitzeland would have another 20 Mobile Divisions and 120 Militia/Resserve Divisions by the end of the month. Prospects of starting up another OTC as soon as reinforcements arrived wjere talked about, but nobody at the table could agree where to put the OTC. Another suggested PROHT allow refugees to train within PROHT propper and send them on long range raids into occupied territory as Special Forces, this idea was also shelved for the moment.

Note of concern, PROHT has more Manpack UCAVs than Parthains have guns able to shoot them down, making it a noticeable force on the battlefield.

The Zanx Soldiers were ordered to put up 700 Anti-Aircraft/Missile cannons.
The Long Range Unmanned Turrets were picking off many Parthian soldiers, but they seemed to keep coming. A couple of weak plutonium bombs were fired from the Zanx defense cannons.
About 100 miles of defense had been set up around Yrttal, with mines, Anti-Aircraft/missile cannons, Radars, and the biggest acheivement was that no soldiers were in the land. 3.2 million soldiers in Bearmish, 6 million in Yrttal.
Unmanned "missileplanes" were fired to fly over the Parthian troops and fire two weak plutonium bombs at troops and one in front of them.

Last post by chitzeland on this thread:
Note, PROHT is not an occupation force, but hired hands working for the Chitzis; an Ironic twist is that PROHT subcontracted 2 bands of mercennaries recently... More of that will come clear soon as the 'guide' agrees to prepare the 'tour'.
Also note, this post was made before The Parthians invaded Ort, and before the East Chitzeland peace accords where made with the Pudites.

The people of Chitzeland had grown tired of this civil war. The massive pain of all the death had finally begun to creep into their minds, showing them of the horrors which they had committed. Even in the east, riots were almost nonexistent now.

At the forefront of this war was Admiral Amherst and his Revolutionary Directorship. The mood in the war room had obviously changed for the better. The general opinion was that the end to this nightmare would come, although few knew whether it would be in weeks, months, or years. For those who had been in such a depression for so long, the sight of possible victory was like a stimulating drug.

The reason for this new outlook by the Directorship was a document that had been compiled by a variety of sources. It became to be known only as “The Report.” It was received by General Laguardia one morning.

“General Laguardia, that report you asked for from nationwide intelligence and command services has been completed. I have it here.”

“All right then. Let us begin to hear the bad news. What is of the army? How many troops do we have now, and how spread out are we?”

“Sir, due to our aggressive drafting, calling upon the reserves, and volunteers who want to see Chitzeland repaired again, our standing army has swelled to nearly 68 million. The number goes up by the day. They are all rallied in military bases, mostly in the west. In addition, we have taken over many local businesses, and are offering to let them help us in general support roles. This will let us mobilize our new troops faster by getting supplies and services to everyone that needs them.”

Generals who had been standing around preparing other possible strategies had come over in astonishment at how efficient their drafting plan had been. Clearly, they had not counted on this much public support.

“That is…excellent…what of the riots?”

“They are calming down. They are almost nonexistent in most communities due to victory by either the Revolutionary or Loyalist groups. Also due to these factors, General Stein’s support has decreased significantly. Most citizens are now in support of our Revolutionary Directorship, as it is generally perceived that we are the only ones who can push the foreigners out.”

“And how about our factories?”

“Converting and constructing factories is, for the most part, going according to plan. We are having some trouble in southern Chitzeland due to lack of supplies, but the majority of our factories in the west are on schedule. Our factories producing bombs, ammunition, guns, etc. are up and running, and those that are being converted to produce armored units and planes are not yet operational but should be shortly. A large segment of the population in the west is working at these factories, since it is the most stable occupation they can find. Although our currency is useless, we are paying them by providing housing, food, and other useful items.”

“Well, I suppose we should go ahead and play along with the Coalition for now. I do not want to have to battle both at once. Inform the Coalition that our troops should be shortly joining the front. If we get rid of the Pudites, then we will deal with the Coalition. For now, however, let us fight only one power.”

“And how do you propose we deal with the Coalition in that scenario?”

“We will ask them to leave. If they do not, we will deal with that situation when it comes closer. Now, on to some more specific planning. Field Marshal Smith, I hear that you have been working closely with some lower Army officers?”

“Yes, in fact, we will begin our first assault on General Stein’s forces within hours. I anticipate that it will be an easy victory. We will try to apprehend both General Stein and Leonard Copeland, who I assume is somewhere under General Stein’s control. I will also issue the order right now to prepare our forces in the west to start moving east. We will set up positions in southeastern Terra, from which we will evaluate the situation that the coalition is facing and determine where to intervene. A small force will penetrate south of that area and take control of airfields for use of our Air Force. Command planes will be in the air at all times.”

“Good, good. Soon, this should all be over with.”

RE: Chitzi military conduct during the civil war and in attempts to repel invaders.

PROHT forces are becoming demoralised, not because of the casualties, but because of lack of Chitzi participation in their own war (even the french know better). They believe that you hired our services to prevent Chitzi military casualties as cannon fodder, this is not what they signed up for. It has become apparet that a large group of Chitzi forces are advancing east from the west coast somewhere in the area of 30 million men in the southwest region, it would be vey helpful if they would join our forces in a combined assault on Ort, PROHT will supply suplementry arms to these men en route via our Airship currently in a holding patern over Providence.

PROHT railguns currently not engaged in close combat or knocked out continued shelling the area around Bearmish or Ort.

Since Snuck in by one of their allies, they had waited. When the Parthians secured Ort, they did nothing, when the war spread throughout the area. They did nothing, when the seige of Bearmish started, they did nothing. But now, now it was the time to show them something that no one will forget.

OTC-1 25 miles south of Herholtzer
The 40 divisions of Militia had just recently finished training, and where lazing out in the sun, a few of them snuck into classes of the regular infantry training program, which was now traing the 20 divisions advanced skills.

The dockyard has been picking up large shipments of supplies, in the form of tanks, mortars, and such. This wasn't too big of a thing except when one notice 2 problems

1> It was just piling up, none of it was going to the Chitzis
2> Some of it was foriegn, as in, jet planes from Pheonix militia and unmarked 60 mm mortars. Upon which was a single case loaded with 500 CZ-75 fully automatic pistols. (the CZ-75s where bought black market, since officially PROHT doesn't issue any of their troops with pistols)

Also another odd thing was happening, the 40 divisions of trained militiamen weren't moving either, it was as if they where waiting for a boat.

OOC: Sorry about my inability to post for the past few days, I've been having internet problems. Unfortunatley, tomorrow, I'm leaving for Peru and will not be able to access a computer for about 12 days. If possible I would like to sort of pause this RP until I return, then I can finish it.

Thanks.

Waters around OTC-1

And from the horizon, their boat arrived. They were Barbour-class Supply Ships, normally seen in Wartime Convoys along with a series of irregular boats following it. It was the help that PROHT ordered with an extremely large sum of money. It was a regiment of light armoured mercenaries, en route to combat the enemies of the PROHT.

The ships began docking and even more supplies including very shoddy looking wooden crates began to pile up. Soon a man in a MARPAT uniform sporting the rank of Colonel descended and was handed a microphone. The Chitizi Militiamen were all awakened with the sound of bugles and a sudden rumbling. To their amazement T-72 Tanks began to drive through the camp with a bunch of Tiger-stripe wearing foreigners leading them.

Soon a voice came over the speaker system: "I am Colonel Jose Arcadio Segundo, I am now in charge of this lackluster group of militiamen, and it is my job to make you into soldiers and drive these imperialisers out of our land!"

A cheer rose up from the Chitizi ranks. "Now, I will be in charge of 20 divisions of you, you know who you are, starting with the 1st Division line up at the docks for specialization, ranking, and weapons distribution. You will now be issued, at the cost of the PROHT KF2 rifles which are generic AK-104s. They are better at penetrating than the CM-16s though we have a stock of them in case we run low. You will now be issued QSZ-92 pistols in the 5.8mm rounds, they are good penetrators for a service pistol. Those of you designated as advanced militiamen are to proceed to Pier 3 to begin spec ops prep. Those of you not equipped with camoflague or even combat fatigues line up at Pier 14 for dressing. That will be all, begin your morning exercises as usual."

When the militiamen arrived at the ships they saw soldiers dressed in modern equipment, carrying modern rifles and the distribution began. Spirits were starting to run high and the chance that they could succeed seemed entirely possible. Half of them 20 divisions were going to be organized and to meet up with Black Hand agents in Meffuhl. The remainder were to be trained and supplied as the PROHT chose with vehicles. As the troops filed into the mess halls after their morning exercises they were amazed. For once the food was good, in fact it was great, the Mafia chefs did their job well with mass produced food, and patriotic anthems played and sodas flowed. It was a massive morale boost.

As soon as they got suited up and ranked based on their training they were sent to a quick gun trial where they were taught the basics of the rifle, given a manual to study in the next few days, and trained to be accurate with single shots up to 300 metres.

Those with mechanical aptitude were pulled aside and taught how to drive trucks and jeeps. And given FMK-58s which were SMGs chambered for the same ammo as the pistol for commonality. Within a day of intensive work the first highly motivated regiment came out, good as any army and they began a new exercise under their newly assigned Mafia Colonels. As the pace sped up and more and more equipment was unloaded the next day 2 divisions left the impromptu training seminars. By the end of the month all 20 division would be trained and armed at breakneck pace.

East Chitzeland, Pudite Construction last few weeks
Pudite construction was progressing well along all fronts. A recent arrival of another 400,000 workers, to supplement the 4,200,000 already in the country, had added significantly to the efforts. The Commandery Compounds in Locke and Accen were already nearing completion of the first phase. Border compounds were the next priority, and their foundations were laid and the walls and ceilings were progressing very quickly. Excavation has just begun on some of the northern compounds, while some of those closest to Locke and Accen were also nearing phase one completion.

Phase two, which consisted off all command structures, storage facilities, and auxiliary internal construction, would begin in a weeks time in Locke and Accen, all other facilities would require another months time before it began. Phase three, consisting of the instillation of all electronics, mechanical pieces, furniture, water pipes and lighting, as well as the excavation and instillation of the massive pod storage banks, was expected to begin in three months, and continue for at least one year.

The large artillery pieces were in place in each of their respective compounds, where each was buried at least half a dozen feel underground and supplemented by concrete fortifications climbing up around them. Their crews were being trained and munitions were being piled up in makeshift pre-fabricated warehouses, alongside the munitions of the hundreds of other weapons installed as per phase one construction at all of the Pudite compounds. Nearby in the large, temporary pre-fab villages were the barracks of the few infantry and armored divisions present as pieces of the future garrison at the construction sites. They too kept up constant, daily training in the terrain surrounding each compound.

As for the civilian population, there was some resistance in the more rural areas, but no real problems were met as their rounding up was commenced. Within weeks the entire surviving population of “East Chitzeland” was confined in the pre-fabricated village-prisons where they were being kept. Conditions here were good, with nice food and sanitary streets and housing. However, as soon as this roundup began, it was being undone. In a weekly schedule a fleet of ships would arrive and load on the entire population of one of these camps and sail off. These ships were bound for the Dominion, where the people in them would be initiated into the Farmer caste. Upon arrival in the Dominion they were led into their receiving port compound, after which no means of surveillance could discern what happened next…

Pudite annexation was progressing nicely.

Training Area

The 20 divisions were trained by now armoured vehicles and trucks and jeeps were loaded up and the convoy began to move. Their camp was massive but they tried to hide themselves. Even light camouflage would lie about their numbers. They were no match for the Parthian forces at the moment, Mafia commanders were hoping that the Black Hand of Nod has a really good trick up their sleeves.

The remaining Mafia trainers stayed training the other 40 divisions.

OOC

Leaf, you were given one week, and only one week, to get those already trained militia (not the 20 regulars) up to Leafthansi standards for the upcoming operation and meet The Black hand (training on the march).

The quality of your training program will have to be stepped down, sped up, and the equipment might not be as adaquate as you'd hoped. An advantage though is that the militia already knows basic commands and manuvers and are decent shots already (they just don't have tanks or artillery [until you gave them some]).

I'm sorry but time constraints just won't allow you a month to properly train the troops. PROHT set up 2 course programs the crash course (militia) and the normal (regular) augmented by SF training in their sparetime (which they no longer have).

IC

PROHT quartermasters did their best to give the Leaftanistani forces whatever they wanted, but a supply oversight made it necessary for PROHT to commandeer abandoned trucks and cars, welded simple gun mounts to them, and give them to the Chitzi militia forces en masse, it wasn't super, but was a lot better than nothing.

(PROHT perspective)
Leafansi troops handed out what T-72s they had, gave them aptitude testing, and assigned rank and positions from there, then they traveled south, leaving a portion of their men behind to help train the other 20 chitzi militia and 20 regularsm, it was already decided that until conditions became better, 'regular' would be considered n officer training camp, while militia was for enlisted men.

The PROHT government then came up with an idea to make an ETC (enlisted training Camp) in every major population center, while those who scored best would be sent to an OTC for better training. The graduates would then return to their ETC and relieve most of the PROHT trainers.

Each ETC would be maned by a company of roughly 150 PROHT Marines and would be expected to pour out 20 divisions per month per camp.

Planned ETCs: (Total of: 140 militia div/month)
Initial PROHT commitment: 2 Battalions MEU (SOC) [of 5]
Providence, Meord, Portelslad, Eldor, Kayzarr, Gichittaw, Hakken

OTC/ECT-1 (2 battalions)
20 Regular div/month
120 Militia div/month

OTC-2(1 battalion)
2 SF div/month
12 regular div/month

Leaf, you also have those "68 million" men of the pure Chitzi standing army.

-Inside the Parthian Artillery Line-
Buried deep under the Parthian's own forces, Black Hand forces began placing C-12 throughout their tunnels, while from miles away from the line soldiers prepared to sneak as close as possible to the outer perimeter of the Parthian Armies, they too planned to place similar devices., with luck the detonation would open a massive Sinkhole within Parthia's lines.

OOC: remember, RP paused for Peru absence.

OOC: Sorry, so they were done in one week and while in transport they will also be trained. The gun trials will now be a manual on gun operation and the ability to hit a target at 250 metres with a single burst. Tank crews will be picked from those who already have an idea of mechanics to speed things up. Sorry.

Cigarette rations were being passed out. The food quality was stepped up and things moved faster than ever before. Training was intense and while on the march even more intense. Vehicles were being driven in tight curves, swerving as training, while soldiers ran behind them to step up their endurance. Beers were passed to the grunts and liquor given to the new officiers, map study was now being done at night and pistol trials now happened. It was fast paced and frantic, with the Mafia commanders straining their minds trying to keep up.

With the establishment of Basenjiland, New Gharrakland and the Zanx Allied Nations, the Zanx Offensive Army has been joined by the Gharrakan Continential Army. Therefore, 3.5 Million more troops are being deployed into Chitzeland to aid in the battle for Yrttal.

OOC: Back, sorry about the long abcense.

FB-3A

The Parthians continued to pour fire onto the PROHT forces as they retreated, concentrating fire on several points with 35mm autocannon and high explosive 105mm guns. Artillery fired upon mortar positions and gun nests thanks to laser designators, while at the same time, missile teams began to unload terminal diving weapons upon enemy APCs and guns.

Enemy fire took its toll, 350 more men and 5 AGS were out of commission, but those who fired were targetted by terminal diving missiles and 35mm autocannon fire, withering as the full brunt of every avalible gun was brought to bear upon the enemy.

Bearmish

The two unmanned planes were quickly attacked by a small force of 15 ACI-73s, who unloaded 30 HAMRAAM medium range missiles as they moved towards the Parthian forces. But on the ground, things were much more worrying, as the weak radiological bombs killed 15,000 troops in a short span of their exploding over the Parthian lines.

The Shah had given a simple and direct order, if they were willing to escalate to the next level with such devices, the Shahdom would retaliate with something considered on par. Nuclear weapons would not be utilized for mere radiological ones, but instead, a tactical solution was easy to find. The Shahdom was a nation which loved chemical weapons, perfecting them in every way possible and finding unique methods of delivery. The suits the infantrymen wore included under the ceramic plate armor a CBW suit, designed to work in conditions the special weapons would create as whole cities fell victim. Now, the Zanski forces had tipped the Shah's hand in favor of utilizing chemical weapons, only against them however, and within minutes of giving the order, 5,000 artillery guns were primed and loaded. 15,000 shells filled with VX unloaded upon the enemy positions throughout Bearmish. The strike points were chosen based off wind direction which would try and cover as much of the city as possible with a toxic cloud as the shells burst overhead and created a odorless, colorless vapor which spread downwind in corridors 300m wide but oftentimes 2-5km long. Following that, another barrage of Lewsite blister agent ensued, a horrendous vapor invented first in world war one that when exposed to skin left painful blisters which in large enough amounts could kill the person from shock, or when exposed to the lungs could leave a man slowly coughing up burnt flakes of the ruined organs along with blood and mucus. Zanski would pay for escalation.

With that completed, a further strike was planned, this one, long range missiles filled with VX were launched at the refugee camps Zanski forces had set up for Bearmish civilians, plastering their entire area with horrendous amounts of gas absorbable through the skin which brought merciful death within as little as six seconds of exposure. Even mere gas masks could not prevent exposure through the skin, only a fully sealed CBW suit would be able to do such a thing

With the gas strikes completed, the Parthian army moved upon Bearmish under a continuing barrage of conventional shells. The southern and western parts of the cities had special corridors flattened by barrages of 5000 shells each, leading to a general breakthrough unit of 5 divisions of armor, 7500 MBTs in each leading 5 dismounted mechanized infantry divisions into the city, who would dismount when they arrived in the urban area and hopefully envelop the area between the two units, cutting off the entire Zanski force in the southwest of the city. They would be a useful bargaining chip to force the enemy out of the war.

At the same time, forces still in the main line began to notice the weak IR signatures of engines moving below them, surveys with the ground penetrating radar revealed a simple thing, tunnels were being dug under the feet of a line of artillery in the rear. This meant only one thing, the Shah's forces would act decisivley, moving forward the artillery while demolition crews set up shape charges along the tunnel network, each would detonate, blasting a hole into the tunnels, before a napalm charge would follow, inundating the network in flaming jelly.

OOC:
What about FB-3B?
The one that just shot a 14"/360 mm 'grapeshot charge' at your force.

And since when did your paratroops start using 35 mm? I thought they where using 30 mm... (post 546)

FB-3A
The 80 charging men on the flank took stiff losses (20 down [15 wounded - still fighting but immoble - 5 dead]) as they quickly took cover, and gave enfilading fire to the main Parthian assault on FB-3A, reletively few of the troops were firing at the flank troops.

The sniper on the rooftop went limp, only to have the spotter take his place. Loaded another belt, and opened fire on the flank.

The 5" mortars continued firing precision passive IR terminal guided HEAT shells upon the AGS from their sunken firing pits, 30/35 mm cannon and MG fire flew overhead constantly. One of the pits took a lucky hit directly where the crew was standing, putting it out of action until a replacement crew could be found.

The 18" guns were well protected from attacks from above, every so often one could hear missiles thudding against the roof, occasionally one would make a blowout making a cloud of dust and dirt while punching holes into the roof around the edges.

OTC-1
20 PROHT trained Chitzi Militia were joined by 10 PROHT army Mechanized divisions as they loaded up for a train ride to FB-3A.

Arriving shortly after (as in the next day) would be 20 PROHT logistics divisions and the rest of the 402nd Heavy Artillery Division; folowed by 50 more PROHT divisions for "The Big Push".

OOC: Some of those tunnels were there before hand, they were planted while Parthia was still taking over Ort.

-Spy Sat-
Another Pass of a Spy Sattelite revealed the movement of the Parthian Artillery, the signal was quickly passed on.

-Remote outpost-
The Commander looked over the Image and made a rapid decision. "We blow now!" "But sir there are people still the Area!" The Detonater shouted. "You disobeying orders!" The Commander shouted. "No Sir." "Then blow the damn thing!"

-Underground-
At the push of a button the multiple mounds of C-4 and Kraven Made C-12 detonated with massive effects, the limited amount of space just increased the blast power, A huge Crater opened up in the rear of the now mostly moved Artillery Line. The sky was blocked out by the amount of dust and dirt thrown out. The shockwave from so much earth being removed caused a shallow 4.5 localized earthquake to shake everything within a 4 miles radius. (An effect of 7 on the Mercalli scale) The chaos would hopefully throw the Parthian Lines into disarray, as well as silience many of the Parthian Artillery. The Black Hand hoped that Parthia hadn't planned on a strike so soon and from such a direction.

OOC: Back, sorry about the long abcense.

FB-3A

The Parthians continued to pour fire onto the PROHT forces as they retreated, concentrating fire on several points with 35mm autocannon and high explosive 105mm guns. Artillery fired upon mortar positions and gun nests thanks to laser designators, while at the same time, missile teams began to unload terminal diving weapons upon enemy APCs and guns.

Enemy fire took its toll, 350 more men and 5 AGS were out of commission, but those who fired were targetted by terminal diving missiles and 35mm autocannon fire, withering as the full brunt of every avalible gun was brought to bear upon the enemy.

Bearmish

The two unmanned planes were quickly attacked by a small force of 15 ACI-73s, who unloaded 30 HAMRAAM medium range missiles as they moved towards the Parthian forces. But on the ground, things were much more worrying, as the weak radiological bombs killed 15,000 troops in a short span of their exploding over the Parthian lines.

The Shah had given a simple and direct order, if they were willing to escalate to the next level with such devices, the Shahdom would retaliate with something considered on par. Nuclear weapons would not be utilized for mere radiological ones, but instead, a tactical solution was easy to find. The Shahdom was a nation which loved chemical weapons, perfecting them in every way possible and finding unique methods of delivery. The suits the infantrymen wore included under the ceramic plate armor a CBW suit, designed to work in conditions the special weapons would create as whole cities fell victim. Now, the Zanski forces had tipped the Shah's hand in favor of utilizing chemical weapons, only against them however, and within minutes of giving the order, 5,000 artillery guns were primed and loaded. 15,000 shells filled with VX unloaded upon the enemy positions throughout Bearmish.

In retaliation...

Zanski and the Zanx Allied Nations would like to point out that Zanx forces have been relocated to Yrttal.

Operation Black Sky:
Given the success of the recent air strike,Three hundred unmanned missile-planes have been fired. they contain napalm, a substantial amount of uranium and gunpowder. half will bend behind the Parthian forces, launch one missile, then another, then launch one about ten seconds later before crashing into the ground.
one quater will come from the front, then the others at the sides.

The defense force had been set up. three thousand mines, unmanned hidden gun turrets, hidden unmanned longrange missile turrets and one titanium wall with unmanned longrange missile turrets and gun turrets, Anti-aircraft unmanned guns and one spy sattelite. this was placed one hundred miles outside the city itself. It was called "Yrttal Xanka" Meaning Yrttal Guardian in Zanx. meanwhile, two million New Gharrakan and Basenjilandic soldiers were flown in, as these forementioned nations are the two other nations in Zanx Allied Nations.

OOC:
So Zanx forces don't have the people of Chitzeland in their best interest (or, at least my employers, The Revolutionary Directate of Chitzeland).

Also, help was on the way in the area of 25+ PROHT/Leafansi trained Chitzi infantry divisions supported by up to 60 million Chitzi volunteers (picked up by Leafansi troops).

Oh well.

You do realize that Yrrtal isn't that far from my infantry (about a day's march from OTC-2)

So now Partia has their forces extended in a thin line from Ort to Bearmish (mostly Bearmish), PROHT/Chitzi forces to the immediate east and to the fasr North, and Leafansi/Chitzi forces to the immediate west, and TBHON right in their ranks.

But it is not appreciated when you decide to turn tail and run when confronted with certain destruction of your forces.

It also is not appreciated that you are wasting resources trying to overthrow/fight your temporary allies [Chitzeland/PROHT/Leafanistan].

This line confuses even myself... Must have been post 569, but now you are missing the RPing of moving yuor troops from Bearmish to Yrttal.

OOC: (To The Parthians)
Still Waiting for The Parthians to respond to FB-3B incedent regarding the 14" cannon. (Or at least FB-3A) So that I may start moving 30 divisions east to FB-3A in response - they will arrive after the battle though (not feasable for me to land a boatload of troops and march them by train 50 to 100 miles after the battle started and expect them to take part in it).

Leafanistan doesn't need to worry about any of that, his 'present time' location is deployed on The Parthian's west front (all his posts thusfar regarded the past) with Nod forces as ordered.

OOC:

I thought it might be more helpful to define exactly where my forces are, the vast majority are either in Ort or around Bearmish, a smaller force is near Pelsgord moving against a similarly sized PROHT force in the area, while a division worth of paratroops is scattered in the firebase area, and will pull back as soon as they accomplish neutralizing the guns. I do not have any land forces near Yttral, which was the victim of a missile attack from Ort.

IC:

FB-3A

The massive 14 inch gun tore apart over 140 men moving upon the firebase, but prompted quick retaliation as men with their ATGWs fired demolition missiles from their laser guided terminal diving weapons upon the behemoth, while thermite charges from other teams launched upon the gun. Shape charges on other missiles flew towards bunkers, while suppressive fire upon gun positions continued.

Meanwhile, in the skies 50 miles away, 35 F/A-91s unloaded 75 missiles at enemy positions, guided by laser designators carried by several advance spotters. If it went well, resistance would be neutralized.

Meanwhile, the other paratroops from FB-3C were ordered to pull back to designated LZs, where fleets of helicopters would return them to Ort. Two firebases would be eliminated, and that would be sufficent. The rest would be destroyed if the need came, but due to forces moving into the area, it would have to be done by alternative means.

Bearmish

The army had learned a simple thing from the first use of radiological weapons on them, and now, detectors designed to look for radioactive material were active, which when added to the radar sightings of incoming planes sealed their fate.

350 ACI-73s operating overhead moved into position, firing 500 HAMRAAM missiles upon the enemy planes, while SAM batteries on the ground unloaded a further 500 missiles. If the first wave failed, the planes would advance forward to engage the planes, determined to prevent another radiological attack.

More pleasantly however, the Parthian army had determined Bearmish had been abandoned and was garrisoned only by automated defenses. In response, the order was simple, the attack was called off, the entire army would move upon Pelsgord, and then, to Providence, sacking each city to force the enemy to submit to Parthian demands for territory. Meanwhile, as the army prepared to move, artillery would flatten whatever was left standing in Bearmish, leaving the city nothing but a flattened wasteland of chemical residue and rubble.

5th Army Group, Near Pelsgord

The small Parthian army group deployed to engage the PROHT and Chitzi allies moving upon Bearmish to reinforce the now evaporated Zanski forces once holding the city now neared their objective. Reports circulated of the four division enemy force in the area, with significant numbers of it consisting of raw Chitzi recruits.

To the seasoned Parthian mechanized commander, Field Marshall Ardeshir Tehrani, this was the perfect oppurtunity to show the enemy the power of Parthian blitzkrieg. By all reports, the enemy had a numerical advantage in numbers of men and other things, but the Shah's forces had an obscenely far superior amount of armor at its disposal, with reports ranging from a 1/30-1/100 ratio of enemy to Parthian tanks. With such advantages, an advantage the Parthians wanted when fighting on the ground, classic strategy would go into effect.

Air support was rapidly moving into the area, 185 ACI-73s and 35 F/A-91s to support the armored advance, which the Field Marshall had already planned out. The Parthian armored division would be subdivided into two regments, each consisting of 750 MBTs, the first would support the Parthian advance from the south, giving necessary fire support to the Parthian Mechanized Infantry divisions, while the second would break off, move to the east, then loop around and hit the PROHT forces in the flank, hopefully creating a two prong breakthrough which would envelop the majority of the PROHT army in one attack.

The power of Parthian armor would fall upon the PROHT.



Official Message to the PROHT Theatre Command

Our escalation in this conflict was a response to an escalation of Zanski forces ultilizing radiological weaponry upon our forces. Our intent on the matter is only to utilize unconventional weapons on nations which use them upon us, and only at a level they do so. If they utilize unconventional weapons again, we will retaliate in a similar manner, as per our doctrine. The Shahdom, however, will not utilize weaponry of an unconventional nature upon PROHT forces unless they are first used upon us.

-Minister of Defense Lord Rostam Bahari

To clear up the confusion among the PROHT firebases:
FB-3A has 18" guns, this one has 80 troops flanking lead Parthian troops (rear/flank Parthians attempting to give covering fire)
PROHT is also sending massive reinforcements to FB-3A.
FB-3B has 14" guns and fired upon the Parthians, they are also engageing the Pathians head on in a battle of Cowpens/Guilford Courthouse esque battle.
Pelsgord is about to engage a similar sized unit with massive Parthian reinforcements on the way (Niether side has contact)

*White Phospherous: Incindiary/Smoke, acts as both an offebsive and defensive weapon, blocks LASER, emits high IR signature, and blocks all Visable Light (Sort of why it is still used IRL, because it works).

IC
FB-3B
The CR-14 cannon took multiple hits down the barrel from direct fire ATGWs, and undoubtedly was damaged to the point that it was no longer safe to fire, the firing crew was badly injured from the blast.

The Parthian suppressive fire, though heavy, had little effect on the PROHT troops in their trenches, for they had suffered worse on their first day of training (20 mile live fire Counter-ambush/reargaurd action/SERE [depending on how long it took]) Until the Parthian troops start laying down some heavy aimed rifle fire, PROHT losses would remain minimal.

PROHT troops had already advanced back to the forward trenches, cutting off and surrounding small pockets of Parthian troops unlucky enuogh to hold their ground. Advance troops even managed to make it to a few of the busted down tanks, which provided decent cover to Parthian light cannon and small arms fire.

Another rush was prepared to take advantage of the shock that the Marines still had the 14" guns manned and operational, along with the subsequent Parthian loss of their 140 assault troops. They lobbed a total of 20 WP grenades* along the front, then they fiented a charge, by screaming their war cry [Hurt em Plenty!/misc. howling] and awaited the resaults.

The plan was to make them waste ammunition firing at nothing for a 'mad minute', and then to rise up right before the smoke cleared and charge while shooting from the hip. (Watching the vortecies created by the bullets flying through the smoke cloud would be worth mention [PROHT does not use tracer (much)]).

OTC-1
Still unsatisfied with the lack of fighting spirit in the average Zanx troop, the command demanded somebody occupy Bearmish, and if applicable, advance towards Ort. Admiral Amherst and his Revolutionary Directorship was second on the list of leaders he wanted to show a little more gusto to get this war over with, and requested the release of 1 million 'pure' (not Foriegnly trained/commanded) Chitzi troops to reoccupy Bearmish under the orders of the PROHT leadership (thus freeing the Chitzi generals for fighting their civil war).

Satalite Images showed a force of Parthian troops marching to intercept the PROHT/Chitzi advance, this was confirmed later by reports from the MMP-1s that the enemy was less than 50 miles away. So they prepared to battle.

It was common knowladge that the Parthians would have far supperior organic heavy armor, almost all veteran comabt troops, and the advantage of havy combat air support. But what the Parthians could never know is just how tough PROHT training standards where, for 20% of the Chitzi troops with them, they have been shot at since the day they volunteered for the past 3 months, many of the 'green' recruits had seen street fighting in their backyards, and Pelsgard looked an awful lot like their hometowns.

They where also being led by the best combat generals PROHT has, many serving in New Roanoke island, the older ones even took part in the amphibious operation that took it over and the subsequnt 'peacekeeping' operations, and through an entire "Joint Military exercise" that turned into WW3 in their laps.

They would seperate the units into armored, unarmored, and entrenched.

The infantry took up residence within the city (entrenched). This would provide far more cover for the infantry than if they relied on their light tanks.

The unarmored vehicles evacuated key civillians from the city, while civillian equipmemnt was being used to make roadblocks, anti-tank ditches, secret passageways from one firing point to another, dragons teeth, and more minefields, tunnels, among other nasty surprises.

The railroad running down the center of the city had a small stockyard and a locomotive, every car was strung out in a line thst cut a 30 mile long cresent along the south to east side of the city, effectively blocking most would be attempts to flank them.

The Northern half of the city was strongly held and slightly north of that outside of the city layed the armored troops in their light tanks, their goal would be to provide mobile assistance in the event of a breakthrough or - if the line held - flank the attackers.

It is human instinct to run when confronted with undeniable death, although war is about fighting, we knew that it was going to be a failure, and considering the sheer power of parthia, the zanx government demands the right to pull out.

Now the sieges are over, we think we should be allowed to move to northwest Chitzeland and set up camp. We shall return Yrttal to the Rev.Dir. and will send our Sonicmasters over there, and have dropped a quater of a million soldiers to rebuild Bearmish.as soon as the rebuilding is done, we will return it to the Rev.Dir.

The planes will not fly over any cities, so as not to cause scares.

Pudite East Chitzeland, Border Compounds, last few weeks
The Dominion had decided that, following the rapid escalation of troop numbers of the PROHT and Parthian forces in Chitzeland an increase in Pudite troop levels was called for as well. To complete this objective, a further fifty infantry divisions, fifteen armored divisions, five light infantry divisions, and five heavy infantry divisions were brought in. This massive force will be distributed between the five Pudite border installations and two nearby Commanderies, to be called on as required.

In addition to this a further two infantry divisions has been called for to garrison each of the other twenty compounds, bringing the total number deployed up to ninety five divisions of twenty-thousand infantry each. These troop levels are expected to hold in future months, as the external conflict continues to escalate.

Also re-deployed to the theatre was the 42nd "Emperor's Mercy" Light Infantry Division. This, the most elite of Pudite forces maintained as regular military servicemen, will be operating in a scouting and reconnaissance role, outside of the Pudite claimed area of Chitzeland. Moving clandestinely, only two-hundred or so soldiers will ever be outside of the occupational limits, and for short periods of time, but they will be there. Most companies used in this way will be mounted on LV-08 light infantry vehicles, and if not they will move on foot. This division is strange among other Pudite divisions in that; It insists on using older technology, not used anymore by regular Pudite soldiers, they refuse to both accept genetic modification to their body or sleep in the container pods common to all other Pudite soldiers, they number only 10,000 men, as opposed to every other division in service, and they refuse the new combat uniform and body armor. All of their technology is in the sale place it was nearly fifty years ago, when they participated in the Pananabian invasion, where they earned their title by being allowed to live after all other forces overrun by Pananabian attackers were executed. This division did not lose a single man in those attacks, and the casualty rate has stayed the same since. They are some of the best light infantry in the world, and they know it.

They will operate as far outside of the border as Providence, Yuri, and Dessledor, as well as making large advances into the marsh and lakes in the north. No serious occupation will be made, these are merely patrols, and every effort will be made to evade detection by ground and airborne surveillance systems. Their mission is simply to look over nearby terrain, record it, and monitor any foreign troop movements anywhere near the Dominion border.

The patrols will be operating in platoons of fifty each, with no more than four operational at a time. They will be based out of the District Commandery in Accen, commanded by a Colonel-Commissar, a rank unique to him, by the name of Dimitir. He is the most experienced officer in the Pudite army, having lead his force in the campaign that earned them their name. He will personally lead some of the patrols asked of his formation, to bond with the newer recruits on their first combat mission, and to re-experience battle with his old veterans, however unlikely battle was going to be.

The Defensive Modern Republic of Zanski would like to point out to Pudu that the north-western lake district is occupied by Zanski as of the relocation scheme. If Pudu would like to move troops in to guard the border, Zanski has no problem as long as there are no advances.

He's also sending patrols very close to PROHT firebases. Which are somewhat under hevy attack by Partian troops. So chances are they won't be noticed.

Outside Bearmish

Casualties from the exploded mines finally were known, 5 guns and 600 men were dead, more would have been were it not for its timely discovery. The remaining Parthian forces were now moving out, advancing towards Pelsgord, but one last task to deny the ruins of Bearmish to a future Zanski occupation or to clear out any further Zanski troops remained, and within minutes, a final barrage was thrown upon the city as shells filled with Soman and Cyclosarin burst apart in the air and spread vapor through the city.

The nerve agents were both highly persistent, lasting up to three weeks, with traces remaining for as long as a month. For the duration of the war, no one would possess the dead city, lest they risk death themselves.

FB-3A

The flanking troops advanced towards the Parthians, who responded with a hail of gunfire and automatic cannon. The troops moving on the flank now faced a second problem, Parthian troops began to move upon them, hoping to overwhelm and envelop them as they charged and caught the PROHT forces in between a hammer and anvil.

Meanwhile, spotters activated their laser designators, pinpointing PROHT defensive lines, which then forwarded information to nearby A-12s. Each of the 15 planes fired two missiles, all along the defensive line with pinpoint accuracy delivering 50 pounds of ONC explosive upon the enemy forces.

With the missiles fired, F/A-91s moved in, unloading a second stream of 30 missiles at enemy vehicles and anti aircraft positions, with laser designators giving the missiles the pinpoint location for them to destroy.

FB-3B

Two platoons, 40 men total, remained cut off from the Parthian forces in the main line, taking up their fortified position in the trenches and surrounded by PROHT forces defending the area. They continued to hold, firing at any troops who attacked with well aimed bursts of the DM-83 rifles they carried.

Desperate for air support, the men called onto the radioes issued at squad level, waiting for the A-12s to arrive, who were unable to locate enemy forces due to intense white phosphorus smoke obscuring the front lines.

Meanwhile, the Parthian forces on the front line waited, preparing their weapons for the smoke to dissipate, so they could cut down any defenders who waited for them.

Parthian Command Center, Ort

There had been but a single consensus for the fate of Chitzeland, that of the Shah's decision. Yet, Chitzi forces were putting up unexpectedly fierce resistance, they were activley attacking the Shahdom's forces, joining with the PROHT in attacking the Parthian troops deployed in the conflict.

The Shah had little tolerance for resistance, so he would prove quite simply the power of the Parthian state in dealing with rebels, Chitzeland was to be cleansed of life, exterminated of all who stood in the Shah's way.

The first order was simple, agent orange would be sprayed on crops utilizing both missiles and aircraft, which would cause either famine, or weak liberal nations attempting to provide humanitarian assistance bog down their transport fleets which could be used to deliver military supplies into saving the worthless Chitzis from starvation.

At the same time, a special 'refugee camp' was to be established outside Ort. 1000 concrete barracks, each capable of fitting 100 Chitzis, were to be contructed. These barracks were to be specialized, however, made of microwave resitant materials, high powered microwave emitters in the walls were able to create enough energy to vaporize all water in the human body, causing them to rupture and dessicate within a minute. All of the dessicated bodies would be reprocessed and depolymerized, turning the corpses into fertilizer and artifical petrol.

Only the strongest 10% were to be spared, they would be enslaved, loaded on Iran Air charter flights, where they would be sent to Bandar-E Abbas and sold to the corporations of Parthia for cheap labor.

It didn't take long for the men to find the laser designators, well aimed automatic weapons fire was directed at those locations, and managed to throw off a few bombs, still, 20 of them hit exactly where intended (mostly because of the delayed and piecemeal attempts to suppress the laser designators) They finally managed to end laser contact with WP flares luanched between the forward observers and their targets, this they could manage almost total suppression for as long as the flares lasted without hindering the rest of the troops.

A few PROHT based B-52s (3 of them) with the aid of 6 PDE-3 fast ground attack planes refueled in flight by 3 KC-130 tankers en route, shall have little difficulty hitting preplanned co-ordnates ith their masses of dumb bombs, with the PDE-3s preceeding the B-52s of course.

FB-3B
Through the thick smoke of the flares, the PROHT troops advanced in the trenches, some running into very close hand to hand combat with Parthian troops caught (slightly) off gaurd, but otherwise as tough as can be, the fights generally nded with either the PROHT troops being cut down, a thermobaric grenade thrown "over the top" and turning the Parthian troop's insides into something akin to fried jelly, or the good old fashioned charge from both sides useing the "spray and pray" tactic, which generally gave the Parthian's a slight advantage until the next man came along with a thermobaric grenade or molotov cocktail and dispatched the Parthian troops en masse.

Those who made it to the front of the perimiter trenches made a war call as planned, akin the the days on New Roanoke Island when a riot broke out and caused the deaths of over 20,000,000 people before the PROHT military took over the island and declared it part of PROHT (as a military testing facility). Nothing has been the same there since.

The PROHT troops also finally found time to deploy some of their MMP-1 UAVs, each loaded with 3 thermobaric grenades, they went in front of the smoke screen and "softened up" the Parthians for the impending counter-attack. A few crawled out of the trenches even as the smoke stil lingered, and fiegned death for the time being.

War makes death, and just about anything will pass as a "meat patty" if one is hungry enough.
You will only bring more problems to yourself if you deploy agent Orange. Since it is a chemical weapon.

Don't forget, we can do the same to you as you do to Chitzeland. It's just going to be harder for me to do. I don't know how much/little trouble Zanx of Black hand would have.

It's just not woth escalation to those extremes.

FB-3A

ACI-73s in the skies above quickly retalliated upon the enemy planes, lacking missiles and with reinforcements still awaiting them, they simply closed on the enemy aircraft and fired away with their cannon, hoping to either draw them off th ground troops or even take a few down.

On the ground below, the Parthians lost 250 men from the bombing, but quickly retaliated, advancing forward from cover to cover while the A-12s moved in above to pound the enemy positions with 30mm ETC shells and napalm. The 105mm guns on the AGS rang out, firing air bursting shells over trenches while Parthian troops in advanced cover began to utilize well aimed bursts of rifle fire to attack enemy infantry.

FB-3B

The 40 troops cut off behind PROHT lines had been almost entirely annihilated, three were still alive, burned and near death from the thermobaric grenades, they had salvaged the twenty pounds of octanitrocubane explosive from the two demolitions experts in the two platoons, and saying a quick prayer to Ahura Mazda, detonated the extremley powerful high explosives. They were vaporized in an instant as the explosives with an RE factor of 2.7, double that of C-4 or Semtex, created a massive gout of flame extending out over 50 meters, creating a pressure wave which could tear apart men within 10 meters.

Parthian troops now fired their heavy cannon and .50 cal machineguns on the UAVs, but still took 50 losses with the thermobaric bombs crashing upon them.
They were convinced the attack would soon begin, requiring some quick support in the form of a GPS guided missile strike on the position the enemy held.

A flight of 10 B-1s, and 40 ACI-73s took off from Ort, moving towards FB-3B. The ACIs advanced in first, hoping to take the brunt of any possible enemy AA fire, while the B-1s followed several miles behind, unloading 2000lb fuel air explosives on enemy positions in the firebase.

Parthia would be readied to see what was left when the smoke cleared.

OOC:
I would have to cover it up, but I don't think it would be very easy to starve me into submission, since anything crossing into the airspace of Parthia proper might get up to a thousand missiles coming right for it within minutes of doing so.

Of course, it would entirely be directed towards the Chitzi population, we would not use agent orange on any areas near PROHT positions, and we would cover up the whole extermination program as refugee camps we would send civilians from captured areas to.

Ort

The extermination of Chitzi civilians was set to begin, starting with the people of Ort. 50,000 civilians, living together in tents inside the shells of bombed out buildings which made up the entire remnant of the civilian structures of Ort, all destroyed buildings and rubble. In lightning quick strikes, the Shah's forces entered into these camps, telling the people that due to threats from enemy airstrikes, they would be moved to refugee camps outside the city center.

The low rumble of trucks moved the civilians into their accomidations, assigning barracks numbers, with the 5000 strongest looking Chitzi men and most attractive of the Chitzi women all being assigned to barracks 560-600, in reality, a large warehouse, where they were chained together, and loaded into ten waiting Iran Air Cargo planes, which shortly took off and began to carry them to Parthia for a private slave auction which would fill the noble families' harems and factories with more cheap labor.

The remainder were assigned to their barracks, and shortly after lights out, at 10:00 PM, the doors automatically locked for the 500 occupied barracks. Microwave emitters went active, vaporizing the water in the bodies of the unfortunate civilians, leaving nothing but dessicated parts of ruptured corpses in each of the barracks.

Teams of Shooban slaves went to work, loading the corpses into wheelbarrows and crates, which brought them to the Teymorian Depolymerization plant on the camp grounds, which broke down the hydrocarbons in the human body into artificial petrol, with the waste products being ground up and made into fertilizer.

Nothing would remain of the once thriving city of Ort.

New shipments were going to change the face of the city, all rubble and former civilian buildings were to be demolished, replaced with more barracks, heavily expanded ports, expanded airport facilities to hangar and base more Parthian aircraft, but most importantly, the defenses would be updated with new things found in the Parthian colonial enclave on VSI of Castle City, thousands of small missile tubes would be scattered around the city, each capable of holding cruise missiles or SAMs, while several hundred larger silos capable of holding IRBMs would be constructed in various points around the city, fortified bunkers would conceal tens of thousands of guns of artillery, while the suburbs of the city would be the site of a new set of fortifications, reinforced concrete walls and a dense minefield, activatable through remote switch, beyond the walls with several hundred meters of cleared land being used for various anti-personnel and anti-vehicle mines. On the walls, remotely guided laser designators and ATGM batteries would be constructed, hopefully creating a city which could be held by a mere 30 divisions while the remaining forces moved out.

100,000 Shooban slaves and Parthian engineers began work in earnest, hoping to reinforce the city within a few weeks.

FB-3A

ACI-73s in the skies above quickly retalliated upon the enemy planes, with the 35 ACIs firing 70 HAMRAAM medium range missiles upon the enemy fighters and bombers, before closing in on the bombers and engaging them with the 25mm ETC cannons.

On the ground below, the Parthians lost 250 men from the bombing, but quickly retaliated, advancing forward from cover to cover while the A-12s moved in above to pound the enemy positions with 30mm ETC shells and napalm. The 105mm guns on the AGS rang out, firing again and again upon enemy armored vehicles and weapons positions while Parthian troops in advanced cover began to utilize well aimed bursts of rifle fire to attack enemy infantry.


Hmmm, better. Not only aimed rifle fire but well aimed rifle fire.

Except that you already destroyed all my tanks at FB-3A in the first two posts. You're just pounding trenches now. And the only cover for your infantry comes either from behind a tank or within the trenches and bunkers.

I am starting to wonder where these planes keep coming from... Yes thy have a loiter time, but how often can they fire "2 missiles each" before they must return and reload?

In Ort, a single silo opened, releasing an SS-88 Mithra IRBM into the skies above. It exited the atmosphere, arcing back down towards Earth as it shedded the reentry vehicle, which rocketed down towards the targetted enemy lines, correcting its angle of reentry before bursting just over the ground on enemy positions, detonating a massive fuel air explosion and a small mushroom cloud extending upwards into the air.

Parthia would be readied to see what was left when the smoke cleared.

1st: Your GPS is shot still. I shot al but one down, remember?
2nd: When/how did you get a missile silo into Ort?

You need rest, you are not thinking clearly. You are forgeting the outcomes of important battles, and the losses you have encountered, your planes have fired about 14 missiles each and haven't landed to reload, and you are starting to shoot knocked out tanks, and you are using missile silos that don't exist.

Fixed. Sorry about that, I should get some sleep.

The borders were set up, with 1 million troops guarding them.
A massive wall was built to mark where the Zanx territory started and Radars to detect troops and vehicles was put in place.A huge operation was about to begin to make sure NorthWest Lake District
was not invaded.thirty thousand Zanx warships were sent to what the Zanx army called Guardpoint, and a huge prison was set up to hold any found enemy troops, where they would be detained, tried and either exiled to Hoxa Island prison for exiled prisoners in Zanski, or executed if they were found guilty of war crimes; Espionage, Killing, harm to any Chitze civillians.
all towns were patrolled by soldiers 24/7. Sonicmaster planes would briefly fly into non-Zanx territory (inspired by the recent Israeli idea) to make a point to not infiltrate.

Zanski has also made all trade in the Lake District fair. President Jarak Arma will fly in tomorrow to see the land.

Outside Bearmish

Casualties from the exploded mines finally were known, 5 guns and 600 men were dead, more would have been were it not for its timely discovery. The remaining Parthian forces were now moving out, advancing towards Pelsgord, but one last task to deny the ruins of Bearmish to a future Zanski occupation or to clear out any further Zanski troops remained, and within minutes, a final barrage was thrown upon the city as shells filled with Soman and Cyclosarin burst apart in the air and spread vapor through the city.

The nerve agents were both highly persistent, lasting up to three weeks, with traces remaining for as long as a month. For the duration of the war, no one would possess the dead city, lest they risk death themselves.

FB-3A

The flanking troops advanced towards the Parthians, who responded with a hail of gunfire and automatic cannon. The troops moving on the flank now faced a second problem, Parthian troops began to move upon them, hoping to overwhelm and envelop them as they charged and caught the PROHT forces in between a hammer and anvil.

Meanwhile, spotters activated their laser designators, pinpointing PROHT defensive lines, which then forwarded information to nearby A-12s. Each of the 15 planes fired two missiles, all along the defensive line with pinpoint accuracy delivering 50 pounds of ONC explosive upon the enemy forces.

With the missiles fired, F/A-91s moved in, unloading a second stream of 30 missiles at enemy vehicles and anti aircraft positions, with laser designators giving the missiles the pinpoint location for them to destroy.

FB-3B

Two platoons, 40 men total, remained cut off from the Parthian forces in the main line, taking up their fortified position in the trenches and surrounded by PROHT forces defending the area. They continued to hold, firing at any troops who attacked with well aimed bursts of the DM-83 rifles they carried.

Desperate for air support, the men called onto the radioes issued at squad level, waiting for the A-12s to arrive, who were unable to locate enemy forces due to intense white phosphorus smoke obscuring the front lines.

Meanwhile, the Parthian forces on the front line waited, preparing their weapons for the smoke to dissipate, so they could cut down any defenders who waited for them.

Parthian Command Center, Ort

There had been but a single consensus for the fate of Chitzeland, that of the Shah's decision. Yet, Chitzi forces were putting up unexpectedly fierce resistance, they were activley attacking the Shahdom's forces, joining with the PROHT in attacking the Parthian troops deployed in the conflict.

The Shah had little tolerance for resistance, so he would prove quite simply the power of the Parthian state in dealing with rebels, Chitzeland was to be cleansed of life, exterminated of all who stood in the Shah's way.

The first order was simple, agent orange would be sprayed on crops utilizing both missiles and aircraft, which would cause either famine, or weak liberal nations attempting to provide humanitarian assistance bog down their transport fleets which could be used to deliver military supplies into saving the worthless Chitzis from starvation.

At the same time, a special 'refugee camp' was to be established outside Ort. 1000 concrete barracks, each capable of fitting 100 Chitzis, were to be contructed. These barracks were to be specialized, however, made of microwave resitant materials, high powered microwave emitters in the walls were able to create enough energy to vaporize all water in the human body, causing them to rupture and dessicate within a minute. All of the dessicated bodies would be reprocessed and depolymerized, turning the corpses into fertilizer and artifical petrol.

Only the strongest 10% were to be spared, they would be enslaved, loaded on Iran Air charter flights, where they would be sent to Bandar-E Abbas and sold to the corporations of Parthia for cheap labor.Today Zanx forces made a point of not caring by flying over the site and dropping a class B Atom Bomb over the site.
Although we mourn the quater of a million dead, we would like to point out the pointlessness of destroting the city. as nerve hases would have been destroyed by the nuclear bomb, we are dropping in half a million soldiers with nuclear shielding suits to rebuild the city and have installed a radar and three thousand sonicmasters so that if any troops do come, we can simply fly away.

Shortly after this the smoke started to clear and some of the 'dead' started to get up and charge anfd what remained of the heavy automatic weapons fired the last of their ammo.

Theres no point anymore, it's just a pile of dust and rubble.

A pile of dust and rubble with a super railgun installation and death camp, and is the main concentration of Parthian Forces in Chitzeland.

It would be like haveing the option of shooting the fish in a barrel or a pond, I'll take the fish in barrel and blow it up rather than let them wriggle their way out into the pond and go spearfishing for them one at a time.

Oh, and lets not forget that currently Ort is the only Parthian controled Port, take that out of commision and he'll have to supply all his forces by air.

FB-3A

50 ACI-73s were deployed from Ort, along with 10 A-12s to finish the job. They flew towards the firebase as quickly as possible, allowing the other ACI-73s to pull back before the new swarm fired 50 HAMRAAM missiles at the enemy planes. With those launches, they swarmed in, firing at the enemy planes with their 25mm cannon.

Meanwhile, the A-12s fired their 30mm ETC cannons upon enemy positions, before unloading napalm and cluster munitions, while two pinpointed four enemy positions at once using laser designator units attached in pods under the aircraft.

A quick relay moved the coordinates of the enemy positions to the Parthian fleet anchored outside Ort, which responded by unloading a barrage of 50 AGM-240 missiles, each a two stage missile, the first carrying the weapon to 80,000 feet, before a scramjet brought it up to 120,000 feet, moving at mach 6 to the target zones, where directional thrusters, each sending the missile downwards, accelerating up to mach 20 with the combined assistance of gravity and its own engines, smashing into the ground with the force of a meteor and detonating 800 pounds of octonitrocubane high explosive. Other missiles targetted at gun facilities were equipped with DU penetrators, which could rip right through dozens of feet of concrete or earth and explode, ripping the installation apart with a massive blast of explosive.

The Parthians on the ground meanwhile, suffered a further 200 casualties from well placed bombs and explosives, they knew now that all had to hinge on a quick assault to bring down the enemy before further assaults on them could happen. Once the missiles were all impacted into their targets, the Parthians would charge rapidly into the enemy, using every man at their disposal in one massive human wave. The A-12s would at the same time, shred enemy heavy weapons or bunkers with 30mm shells from above or laser guided missiles, hopefully destroying the enemy defensive network, if it was not already gone from explosions which could have destroyed several blocks of Manhattan already.

FB-3B

The Parthians took some mild losses, but quickly retaliated, firing at the perfect line of people with rifle grenades, automatic cannon, and well aimed bursts of rifle fire. SAWs and HMGs opened up, firing away upon the enemies charging at them, hoping that the firepower avalible would slaughter 90% of them before they even reached Parthian positions.

As they neared closer, the Parthians threw incindiary grenades across the front, before tossing sachels of ONC explosive the Parthians would detonate once the PROHT forces came within range.

Ort

The Parthian garrison was living within bunkers, mostly safe from the scourge of shells landing upon what on the surface mostly consisted of a construction crew and the death camps, along with runways and occasionally port facilities. However, they were a nuisance, and would have to be silenced once and for all.

30 railgun bunkers now went active, with the blast doors covering them pulling away, with the assemblies moving into the sun. Targetting computers went active, punching in the location of known Firebases using the information satellites and spy planes provided. Within seconds, a barrage of shells began, ten minutes worth of shells were unloaded upon the various firebases of the FB-2 cluster, 30 inch shells flying high into the air, arcing down upon the bunkers with high speed, massive shells which would easily tear apart even fortified positions.

With ten minutes of firing done, the railguns pulled back downwards and were once again covered by the three foot thick blast doors.

But it was not over for the firebases, both FB-2 and FB-4 were targetted with 100 AGM-240 missiles each, which, it was assumed, would either annihilate or bury any fortified positions under rockslides and collapses in any bunker system they set up.

With that done, it was a time for a new order. Of the 500 Mechanized Infantry and 35 armored divisions in Ort, it was decided 250 Infantry and 25 Armored divisions would be redeployed, moving out of Ort and towards the other port city of Shetterdan, which would be the next to fall, due to what intelligence pointed to as significant weakness.

The Parthian force would take the east of the country, while Parthian forces moving towards Pelsgord would move upon Providence and sack the city. They were already leaving a path of destruction as they moved, burning towns and sending civilians in them to the 'refugee camps' in Ort.

Dasht-e Lut, Parthia

The Parthian rockets now accelerated from the launch pads, two of them launching from within 50 miles of each other, both were the newest additions of satellites to the Parthian military arsenal, equipped with self defense systems such as chemical lasers and brilliant pebbles dispensers, each of the new satellites, a GPS and a spy satellite, would be put to use over Chitzeland as the orbits were manipulated from space control in Shiraz. Now, Parthia would again have its eyes and hands in the skies above Earth.

OOC:
Remember the old dogfight adage: He who withdraws their planes first lose the [dog]fight. It is better to keep your tired old planes in the fight until it is resolved, having them pull out just asks for them to be shot down.
(Most planes don't have guns in their 12 o'clock)

Also, post ACI-73 losses.

Also, involving the Ort/FB gun/missile duel: What parts of the instalations are you targeting? The bunkers (Heavy fortification, guns are hidden here in the event of a raid), firing pits (lightly armored turntable) or forward positions (where the infantry fights)?

FB-3A
They so far have taken heavy losses, of the original compement of 150: 50 where still able bodied and reporting, 25 KIA, 50 wounded and the remaining 25 MIA. Of the wounded 5 were critical and most likely would die without treatment (their moaning could be heard on the field), 25 moderately wounded (immobile but consuss, manning heavy weapons) 20 lightly wounded (some light bleading rom head, still serviceable).

A 'medic' went to a few of the heavily wounded and shot them up one at a time and propped them up in the trench to charge the Parthians (with limbs missing). It wasn't longg until the 'drug' took effect, they jumped up, howling and screaming (if they could), and tore into the Parthian ranks.

<yes, I just shot 5 more men full of HE-80, at least they won't feel any more pain where they are going> Also going to skip on air theater in this area to let the Parthians reconsider their actions.

FB-3B
Of the 40 man charge, joined by 10 'dead' (15 moderately wounded still in mortar pits) <15 dead of 80 man gun crew>:
5 Made it intact to the Parthian lines, lobbing thermobaric grenades.

One man even used it as a bludgon as he let it 'cook' in his hand, only to be killed before he could throw it, which then detonated, exploding an aerosol cloud creating a shock wave 20 feet in diameter, at the fringe was burning leftover fuel from the bomb.

5 wounded, managed to also hobble to the Parthian lines by sheer momentum, only to tumble into a prostrate/prone position at the feet of the Parthian troops, they fired their last clip of ammo, threw a few grenades, and then staggered to their feet only to be mowed down by a Squad automatic weapon.

10 had fallen scarcely out of the trench, and fell back in and continued to give suppressive fire, for they could no longer see clearly through their own blood, sweat and tears.

20 had become "moderately wounded" during the charge, 10 of which managed to give a very good immitation of death as the set themselves up as human land mines, while the other 10 injected PROHT "painkillers" (HE-80 of course) into their bloodstream and and planned to be part of the "2nd wave" as soon as the Parthians started their own counter attack.

The other 10 where either dead or heavily wounded, in their last act they set an armed thermobaric grenade under them, if a Parthian so much as tripped over oner of these bodies they would know a whole new meaning of "Hurtful Thoughts".

(It has been widely believed, that a thermobaric, as powerful as they are, render its victims imobile yet fully concious of their pain, the US Army perscribed method of treatment for people in "zone II" of such a blast is to pump them full of painkillers and let them die "happy", so as to give them as humane a death as possable <but it is always the chance that they might actuall live long enough to make it to a proper medical center that prevents many from officially proscribing "the bullet">)

In the skies above FB-3A

10 Parthian ACI-73s were gone, crashing to earth in balls of fire, with only two fortunate men able to parachute out, directing themselves towards Parthian positions on the ground. The ones that had been withdrawn were needing to get back to Ort to rearm, activating afterburners to leave PROHT airplanes in the dust, while the new reinforcements moved to protect them through a barrage of 50 infrared guided short range missiles.

Meanwhile, troops on the ground suffered a further 200 casualties, and lost all but five AGS, bringing the total number of dead and wounded Parthians to over half of the paratroop brigade sent to attack the enemy firebases. The reward, however, was justified, as the Parthian paratroops advanced over the cleared field, bringing medics to provide medical care to the PROHT wounded they had decided would be brought back to Ort to be held as POWs. With them cleared out and either handcuffed or dosed up on painkillers, depending on the severity of their wounds, the Parthians detonated the satchel charges placed on the guns, utterly destroying them and the bunkers they would hide in.

Now, with the firebase destroyed, helicopters from the Parthian base in ort moved rapidly inwards, flying as low as possible, to evacuate the paratroops, living and dead, along with the 23 wounded PROHT troops they had captured.

FB-3B

The Parthians continued to take severe losses, but retaliated upon every PROHT soldier who crossed into their line of fire. Parthian troops on the wings began to advance forward, catching the direct attack on the center in a three way crossfire as a semicircular Parthian line saturated them with firepower.

Those who came into close range of the Parthian troops were faced with a far more cruel threat as the carbon steel shamshirs Parthian troops carried were pulled out of the holsters on their back, slicing into enemy troops with fanatacism as they chanted in the Avestan tounges praises for Ahura Mazda, blessing their invocations with the blood of the worshippers of Daevas.

If the PROHT forces were wiped out, the Parthians would destroy the firebase, then recieve much needed evacuation to Ort.

OOC:

Hmmm, oh, wait. Crap, "FB-3A conclusion" was suppoesed to read "FB-3B conclusion" The 23 survivors where the 20 moderately wounded and 3 others.

Sorry about the one letter typo... I guess my nerves are frayed too...

IC:
10 Parthian ACI-73s were gone, crashing to earth in balls of fire, with only two fortunate men able to parachute out, directing themselves towards Parthian positions on the ground. The ones that had been withdrawn were needing to get back to Ort to rearm, activating afterburners to leave PROHT airplanes in the dust, while the new reinforcements moved to protect them through a barrage of 50 infrared guided short range missiles.

Of the 3 remaining PDE-3s, another fell to the second barrage of missiles, heat seekers aparently (missile damage to tailpipe created massive IR signature attracting almost all 50 missiles to it, the remainder where avoided through liberal use of flares and evasive manuvers)... [2 PDE-3s left]

The B-52s, having completed their bomb run, headed home, a strong electro-magnetic pulse was noted over the drop zone, possably from an accidentally discharged PROHT 18" EMP-L ECM munition.

-------
Further OOC:
Upon further reading and paying a little more attention, I really messed up on my reply.
The bombing was on FB-3A but I thought it was FB-3B but kept the title FB-3A.

And try and figure out what to do with FB-3B

FB-3A
They so far have taken heavy losses, of the original compement of 150: 50 where still able bodied and reporting, 25 KIA, 50 wounded and the remaining 25 MIA. Of the wounded 5 were critical and most likely would die without treatment (their moaning could be heard on the field), 25 moderately wounded (immobile but consuss, manning heavy weapons) 20 lightly wounded (some light bleading rom head, still serviceable).

A 'medic' went to a few of the heavily wounded and shot them up one at a time and propped them up in the trench to charge the Parthians (with limbs missing). It wasn't longg until the 'drug' took effect, they jumped up, howling and screaming (if they could), and tore into the Parthian ranks.
The wounded sitting in their geavy weapons bunkers used the remote fire cntrol system to level all the remaining 18" guns at the Parthians (4 of the original 8 - 2 are jammed and are incapable of traversing enough to engage, the other 2 are wrecked), they then electronicly fired whatever was in the guns at the time, one gun was empty, one had an EMP-L shell, and the other 2 had either a cluster or an APDS, the APDS might as well have been grapeshot, because the sabot held the KE of most tank guns, these tumbled over the battlefield and finally sliced through rows of many trees before finally coming to a rest (the sabot section is a 6 foot long 6 inch wide 50 pound monstrisity, and each 18" APDS holds 9 of these. The AP shell itself wasn't even seen, but rather left a 'path' through to the horizon through whatever was in the way, including small houses.

Then came the air raid:
50 AGM-240 missiles, each a two stage missile, the first carrying the weapon to 80,000 feet, before a scramjet brought it up to 120,000 feet, moving at mach 6 to the target zones, where directional thrusters, each sending the missile downwards, accelerating up to mach 20 with the combined assistance of gravity and its own engines, smashing into the ground with the force of a meteor and detonating 800 pounds of octonitrocubane high explosive. Other missiles targetted at gun facilities were equipped with DU penetrators, which could rip right through dozens of feet of concrete or earth and explode, ripping the installation apart with a massive blast of explosive.

FB-3A was ripped to pieces. All that remained where the 18" guns, and a shattered record player.

FB-3B
Of the 40 man charge, joined by 10 'dead' (15 moderately wounded still in mortar pits) <15 dead of 80 man gun crew>:
5 Made it intact to the Parthian lines, lobbing thermobaric grenades.

One man even used it as a bludgon as he let it 'cook' in his hand, only to be killed before he could throw it, which then detonated, exploding an aerosol cloud creating a shock wave 20 feet in diameter, at the fringe was burning leftover fuel from the bomb.

5 wounded, managed to also hobble to the Parthian lines by sheer momentum, only to tumble into a prostrate/prone position at the feet of the Parthian troops, they fired their last clip of ammo, threw a few grenades, and then staggered to their feet only to be mowed down by a Squad automatic weapon.

10 had fallen scarcely out of the trench, and fell back in and continued to give suppressive fire, for they could no longer see clearly through their own blood, sweat and tears.

20 had become "moderately wounded" during the charge, 10 of which managed to give a very good immitation of death as the set themselves up as human land mines, while the other 10 injected PROHT "painkillers" (HE-80 of course) into their bloodstream and and planned to be part of the "2nd wave" as soon as the Parthians started their own counter attack.

The other 10 where either dead or heavily wounded, in their last act they set an armed thermobaric grenade under them, if a Parthian so much as tripped over oner of these bodies they would know a whole new meaning of "Hurtful Thoughts".

The belligered men of FB-3B found themselves under attack from the rear, as two heavy shells came ripping and "bouncing" through the woods only to burry themselves just short of the Parthian troops, another lodged itself in the rear of one of the gun mounts. These 100 pound shells managed to skip/travel 25 miles.*

The Parthians continued to take severe losses, but retaliated upon every PROHT soldier who crossed into their line of fire. Parthian troops on the wings began to advance forward, catching the direct attack on the center in a three way crossfire as a semicircular Parthian line saturated them with firepower.

Those who came into close range of the Parthian troops were faced with a far more cruel threat as the carbon steel shamshirs Parthian troops carried were pulled out of the sheaths on their back, slicing into enemy troops with fanatacism as they chanted in the Avestan tounges praises for Ahura Mazda, blessing their invocations with the blood of the worshippers of Daevas.

If the PROHT forces were wiped out, the Parthians would destroy the firebase, then recieve much needed evacuation to Ort.

What remained of the PROHT troops in the bunkers pulled out their personal aussaualt rifles and they all agreed to aim only for the high ranking officers, the ones that took the longest to train, in order to save bullets. It was clear that FB-3B was lost, the last mortar shells where used to explode the 14" gun ammo dumps, creating massive columns of fire as all types of shell and propellant exploded in a massive chain reaction along the flanks and rear (because they thought they where under attack on all sides already).

Those who masde it to close quarters combat with the Parthians soon fell against their swords, but not before they had their own say on the matter of how many Parthians they took down with them.

Of the 25 who fell during the charge, not one moved.

In the background one could faintly make out the words to "Lyndon Johnson told the Nation" (By Tom Paxton, 1965) playing in some unchecked bunker.

Train to FB-3A
The troops on the train, as they passed FB-2A, let out a platoon because they had been ordered to send a patrol to investigate loss of contact with OTC-1, while in the sky they saw two plumes of fire, one was FB-3A, the other was FB-3B, the Chitzis, now saw for the first time, that their training was comparatively "easy" compared to the task they had volunteered to do. Push the Parthians back to whence they came.

One of the PROHT officers decided another mral boost was in order, so he reminded them of the attricities they had commited in Ort, and the brave troops in Pelsgard, and Bearmish, and the 2 day standoff with the Pudites, to turn tail and run would be admitting defeat, and ultimately death.

Moving back to Pelsgard preparations:
Pelsgard: (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=11290355&postcount=25)
Marcus Gable, even though he knew he had an advantage, chose to see what other 'weapons' he could find. PROHT field manuals instruct high ranking officers on the construction of a specific terror drug, using pesticides (Chlordane), PROHT non-combat medical painkillers (LSD), and a molodorous gas of some sort (usually hydrogen Sulfie based).

He looked around in the lawn and gardens store and found a few drums of Chlordane pesticides and collected sufficent amounts of LSD from the medics, he emtied a few bottles shelved for molotov cocktails, then he found some sullfur treated metals and added specific ratios of Chlordane, LSD and sulfur into a total of 10 bottles, the remainder of the Chlordane remained in the drums and was planted on the West side of the city in a Furgasse method with what remained of the LSD (and some HE-80) inside.

OOC: Sorry about the long delay due to internet issues, I had a problem with my ISP that caused my internet to be unavaliable for about the past week.

IC:

FB-3A

The final destruction of the firebase now went underway as the dead littered the field. Nothing but the guns were left, and with satchel charges of ONC placed upon them, soon they had become little more than twisted metal in massive explosions which obliterated the area around the massive guns.

Bodies of Parthian dead also littered the field as the helicopters moved in to clear the Parthians, living and dead, from the field of battle. The operation was a Pyrric victory, over half of the Paratroop brigade was dead, and so was the other brigade, all for less than 50 large guns. Parthia had embarassed itself, throwing massive amounts of men against well prepared positions and letting them die by the hundreds for the sake of stopping a mere annoyance.

As the helicopters landed and loaded quickly, the lead ones flew off into the skies, leaving behind the smoking fields and craters which had been the site of slaughter for many hours.

FB-3B

The Parthians now surged forward in a massive human wave determined to destroy the guns so they could recieve evacuation within the next fifteen minutes from inbound helicopters. Cannons blasted bunkers with AP shells, while any fire coming from bunkers was slammed with the combined power of over a thousand assault rifles, and dozens of automatic cannon, and AGS guns.

They would surge forward, placing satchel charges on the guns, then detonate and evacuate, leaving as rapidly as possible before the rumored PROHT forces arrived.

All combat now came down to a single fateful minute.


Outside Pelsgord

The Parthian army group waited, under the command of Field Marshall Ardeshir Tehrani, they bided their time as his artillery meticulously programmed fire control computers with buildings larger than houses, densely populated areas, and other intelligence which would be useful for a massive, destructive barrage.

He was, however, now waiting for a massive Parthian air wing to make its way from the new airfield at Ort to Pelsgord, 35 B-1s, escorted by 120 ACI-73s and led by 10 E-6s, recently shipped in components from Parthia, would flatten significant areas of the city, leaving an all out armored attack easy to accomplish.

It would not be long until Parthia made its move.


14th Army Group, Ort-Shetterdan Highway

The magnificent force of Lord-Marshall Masoud Fardmanesh moved towards the city of Shetterdan with intense speed, burning towns along the way and driving the Chitzis out into the countryside, away from the invading army. The Shah had a simple plan for the nation, the east would be conquered with as little possible loss of life permissible, but most of the country would be utterly slaughtered, to reduce Chitzeland's population from over 1 Billion to less than 500 million. The remainder, the Shah said, would form the basis of his personal estate, not a crown colony as normal, but one the Shah could use as a personal buisness concession to make money through the use of the mineral and human resources for his benefit.

The Shah was an admirer of King Leopold II of Belgium and his Congo 'property', he had decided that the best method of making more money to make his court self sufficent and provide extra money for other uses would be to emulate Leopold's scheme of using native people, whether Chitzi or Congolese, to work in a command economy structure under the total control of His Imperial Majesty Shah Khosru III. Only the Pudite concession in Locke would remain untouched and not under the Shah's personal control.

Lord Marshall Masoud smiled as he thought of the wealth this nation would bring to Parthia as soon as he and the other generals had pacified it.

Pelsgard:
Marcus Gable was befuddled by recon reports from his UAVs (50 mile combat radius). PROHT forcs were well within Parthian artillery range, yet they merely sat there. He knew they where up to something, and he was certain they thought he was up to something as well.

He instruced as many troops to hunker down for the impending first Parthian wave, but to keep a small picket force outside of the city defenses at all times to warn of any attacks/movements.

His 'Mobile resserve' troops on the other hand sent a small and highly spread out contingent along the north west and southeast flanks to see how much they could spread out the Parthian attack.

(Defense is waiting for the attack, thus, PROHT defenders are to be expected to hunker down and wait)

FB-3B:
The Parthains advamced quickly, with little resistance from the wounded troops in their dugouts. These men were quickly captured/killed. A few managed to crawl into 'hiding holes', little foxholes and tunnels within a foxhole, in order to escape capture.

[something about human 'land mines' from the PROHT charge]

As the Parthians passed the wounded, the 'berserkers' [pumped full of HE-80] attacked nearby troops in vicious hand to hand while the other wounded [from prone positions] threw the grenade they had hidden under themselves and fired 3 round bursts into the backs of the Parthian combat engineers as they placed demolition charges onto the PROHT 14" guns.

FB-3A:
The Parthians had left by the time the time the 40 division relief force arrived (20 PROHT Army and 20 Chitzi Militia divisions). Leaving only a smoking ruin, it was almost impossable to find the mere 150 PROHT troops among the Parthian dead, and all had to be given a summary burial in a mass grave, PROHT troops mixed the the Parthian troops (since unit identification had become impossable) was attended to by 4 divisions. 6 where sent to FBC-4, while the remainder rode south to FB-3B.

OTC-1*
Reports of confiscated Chitzi military hardware where given to the Commanding officer, the list of high tech weaponry was impressive. One of their planes had flying chcteristics similar to their FMX-6 series, and would allow PROHT and Chitzi troops to pilot them (A-25 Grizzly), they also had a fighter that performed something on par with the newer PROHT PDE-5 fighter planes still under development (F-20 Albatross) and would be used in an attempt to gain temporary air supiority over Pelsgard for the duration of the siege.

However, their navy appears to have defected, since PROHT searches for them have ended inconcusive to the location of the Chitzi fleet. Which had weapons comparable to the CR-14 through CR-18 class railguns (even had a 20")

It was also planne to scrounge up as many AH-12 Scorpian gunships and pilots to provide local CAS to Pelsgard.

*OOC
Any suggestions on these numbers? Chitzeland claimed to have 60 million men in their armed forces before he left.

-West Coast of Chitzeland-
The Convoy had arrived, and began to split up, the Transport subs headed south, while the majority of the Hunter Subs headed north with the Assault subs. The remaining group headed for Ygh to unload.

-Further reinforcements-
3000 Nod Soldiers
30 M48 Tanks
12 Scud launchers
20 C-130 Gunships
5 S-37as

-Near Bearmish-
With the destruction of Bearmish, Black Hand forces fell back. A few of the combat engineers, remaining well ahead of the Parthia force, began to lay down Anti-Tank mines.

FB-3B

The Parthian initial advance retaliated upon the firing PROHT troops with withering bursts of fire from grenade launchers and assault rifles, then drawing their shamshirs once the infected enemy forces had come into close combat range, hacking them with sharpened steel blades. Few casualties had come so far as they continued to advance, pushing forward as they fired upon the few PROHT forces left. Engineers placing the explosives took cover as fire came upon them, but Parthian AGS retaliated with massive amounts of ordinance to smash the firing positions while the engineers continued to place the ONC charges and ground troops maintained concentrated fire upon them.

Once the enemies had been silenced, the Parthians would detonate the explosives, then await evacuation.

Pelsgord

The Parthians were ready, all that now awaited was the initial crushing barrage that would smash enemy lines with massive amounts of firepower. The first strike consisted of a lead element of 10 ACI-73s equipped with Electrionic warfare pods, similar to those on E-6s, which gave their barrage of 20 HARM missiles the guidance necessary to engage enemy radar from a distance, allowing Parthia to wreck havoc on the PROHT forces from the skies above.

What advancing troops? Every one of them is already wounded.
Close combat would mostly conist of sticking an aussalt rifle with bayonet attached up an unlucky Parthian's crotch and then firing a burst of ammo
(If they weren't found alive and killed first)
Bombing PROHT troops within such proximity to your own is not the best idea I can think of



Pelsgord
They would move next once the PROHT air defenses were revealed.


AAA Consists mostly of the HT-101 Light Armored vehicles (armed with 35 mm cannon) and 5" towed DP field guns*
SAMs are mostly a few patriot missiles (about one per HT-101 in clusters of 4 per mount)
Air supiriority would consist of Chitzi F-20 Albatrosses, manned mostly by Chitzi pilots (A few went missing in the revolt). Those guys are assumed to be well trained during the old regime. (Similar to PROHT PDE-5)**
CAS is done mostly by Chitzi A-25 "Grizzlies", similar to a PDE-3, though comparatively underpowered.**


*Not seceptable to ECM (unless a night raid, but then I might switch to RADAR or searchlights)

**An estimate on how many of these machines I would manage to locate would be nice. But I'd asume it would be rather large since he last quoted himself with a 60 million man Army concentrated in the east.

Final note: Chitzeland made a neat little factbook entry describing his equipment, organization, and training, though I wish it where a little more therough. Too bad he's gone now.

Edited, but you did say that infected troops were advancing, so I clarified it to state that. The AGS would be fine for fire support, but unless the distance between the remainder of the troops you have still engaged and mine is less than 100m, I would be able to use A-12 30mm ETC guns for support.

You would probably be able to locate about 70% of his military, maybe 60%, a lot was probably destroyed in prior combat, but certainly more than half would be availible. I'd assume about 2500, maybe more, though it depends. If his population was about a billion, then that number would be good.

BTW, I edited the initial air attack on my prior post due to the information you provided.

K. I'll use 120 F-20s and 100 A-25s (don't want to risk all his planes in one lil battle)

Chances are even though I found 60 to 70 % of his stuff, it is unlikely all of it will be ready and within range, and I'll need resserves in case you plan another strategic air strike (getting hit with 50 tons of explosive just because you send all your planes into a major battle is not fun)

Pelsgord

As soon as the first missiles were fired, the Parthian aircraft noved in, arming ground attack missiles from 20 ACI-73s, who would lead the fighter assault by attacking any enemy AA batteries, firing missiles upon them with laser designators mounted on their planes feeding the coordinates of visible AA positions into the missile targetting computers, then letting 25 ASMs off the rails, flying towards enemy AA positions while the bombers moved in.

The B-1s had a simple mission, obliterate large, concentrated civilian areas which could be used to harbor PROHT troops with a hefty amount of incindiaries, which would create 3000 degree firestorms which would tear through the city, hot enough to burn the asphalt on streets, until much of the city was left as little but a blackened ruin of charred building shells and ash.

With that first bombing raid underway, the Parthians would make the first move, firing away with the artillery upon large buildings and open areas, such as parks, where the PROHT could hold their forces, unleashing a barrage of clustermunitions and high explosives for a continuous chorus of flame and destruction.

Meanwhile, Parthia's assault began as the A Brigade of the Parthian Mechanized division, stationed on the east of the city, began to move in, with a selected part of the artillery firing away a smoke barrage along the east of the city, before the M-29 MBTs moved in, activating their thermal sensors as they rolled forward.

Meanwhile, the main force in the south of the city, Three divisions of Mechanized infantry and the B Brigade of the armored division waited for the signal the A brigade had engaged PROHT forces. Once that occurred, another smokescreen would hide the main advance, as armor would attempt to break through the defenses on the south of the city.

OOC:
Wait, you are planning on marching into a firestorm?

The "little" one in Dresden lasted days, along with the one in Tokyo.
If the fire is going to be hot enough to burn tar, imagine what it would do to you vehicles (rubber pin bushings for your tracks, fuel tanks, ammo, etc)

Thermal sensors would be "blinded" by such heat (screen would go all white until the fire cools down, and then you'd have false positves because of the embers) and are therefore useless due to your own actions.

The great part is, that most of my troops aren't even in the city, they are mostly held in resserve well outside of the planned battle area (though that is mostly unarmored trucks and civillians) [small picket force is part of the small "entrenched" contingent, while most of the troops are in mobile, and a hefty number are in the mechanized group.

IC:
Pelsgard
scattered AA defenses and Artillery btteries
In one large swing, many of the CC-5 cannons where wiped out, some where spared by the liberal use of inflatable decoys.
(Not a difficult thing to set up, and you targeted them optically, so how would you know? [though I should have better RPed that particular preparation anyways, so therefore their involvment shall be minor (but what better way to make confusion as to how many divisions you are up against? 1, 4, 10 or 40?)])

Picket force (East)
The vision of the picket group was obscured by smoke, and behind them a massive firestorm erupted. Soon afterwards, they could feel a heavy rumbling of armored vehicles. The battle of Pelsgard was about to begin. The troops lay where they where (even freshly dead bodies have a body temp of 98 degrees) and waited for the tanks to pass, their paltry force was obviously too small to do anything to their spearhead, but they could damage the Parthian's shaft if even one man lived.

Mobile resserves (southeast)
They could see the fires burning, and soon could see shells streak towards them, luckily they where smoke shells and did little damage, they also warned them that the enemy planned to move in their direction, using their thermal sights, and looking away from the firestorm, the Parthian tank force would be perfectly illuminated, while all the Parthinas could hope to see though their pea soup fog was the white hot fire behind the PROHT/Chitzi troops.

They decided to take careful aim before giving them their surprise, they also decided to prolong the smoke coverage with their own shells.

Mobile resserves (Northwest)
They watched the city burn, another city gone to the ravages of war, the Parthains wouild most likely not have done what it did had it been winter, but winter was 3 months away, and the ground was hot and dry.

The Chitzis where further demoralised by the destruction of a city, and also hated the Parthians even more for their actions. But they started to doubt the effectiveness of the PROHT troops against the Parthians, for they did not stop the destruction of the city. But they did not doubt the PROHT troops, for just as many of them had been in the city as the Chitzis, and it still seemed as if the PROHT troops were confident of a crushing victory over the Parthians once and for all, even though PROHT troops have yet to win a single victory yet, they achieved an official kill/death ratio of 10 to 1 or better in almost all their previous encounters, even against tougher armies than the Parthians (one particular engagement had a ratio of 354:1 in Alidor whilst lossing 8 troops, one pilot, and one plane [nevermind the fact that most of those 'people' where already dead, they still shot down a helicopter, survived a massive firestorm raid, and where hunted down and outnumbered at least 4:1 in every respect]).

Pelsgard City Center:
...
Houses on fire, charred bodies line the streets, need there be any more detail?

OOC: My intent isn't to march into the firestorm at all, but rather to simply create one to cut off any further reinforcements from reaching your forces on the outskirts of the city. As for the thermal sensors, a slight miscalculation on my part.

IC:

10th Armor A Brigade, Eastern Pelsgord Outskirts

The Parthian forces continued to move, the tanks rumbling forward as they advanced upon the city itself, hoping to either drive any defenders on the outskirts into the burning flames of the city itself, or to pin them between the city and their forces, cutting them all down.

They would advance to within 1 kilometer of the city, then halt, if no resistance was met, they would move towards the north and break any resistance along the way.

Main Column, Southern Pelsgord Outskirts

The main Parthian force was blinded by combination of smoke fired from enemy barrages and the firestorm in the back which whitened thermal sensors. They had not expected such a large firestorm which would have such a massive effect, yet they could compensate by blinding their enemy by creating a cloud of VIRSS smoke at the edge of their planned maximum advancement of 1km from the city.

Artillery rang out as the infrared blocking smoke began to pour down on the battlefield, while Parthian tanks rumbled forward, followed closely by IFVs, they would engage the enemy as they passed through the smoke, breaking them as they tore into a divided, piecemeal section of the enemy line and overwhelmed it in a perfect example of divide and conquer.

"In other news, Emperor Baker, in reference to the Chitzeland Conflict, now raging for several months, resulting in Chitzis civillian casulties on a biblical scale, is issuing a statement on the matter, directed to the forces still there," Said the young correspondant. She looked directly into the camera before speaking again. "Here he is!" Applause broke out from the millions of Wanderjarians in Imperial Square, who had gathered to hear their Emperor issue a statement upon the war.

"Back many months ago, I launched a full scale invasion of Chitzeland, hoping to remove a corrupt regieme, and install a more stable government. Many nations joined me under the banner of the Coalition, and we fought bravely, and accomplished the first part of our task. The madman President Copeland was removed from power! However, civil war broke out, nations with less noble interests intervened, and this resulted in my failure, and forced my withdrawl. Now, I sit here, in New Prussia, Wanderjar, and have seen the results of my actions, and for that, and all Chitzis, and all Mankind, I ask forgiveness. This nation is a nation no more. It shall likely never recover after the true hell that has been thrown upon it by the nations currently fighting over there. Today, I plead to them to cease their fighting, and end this needless slaughter. If you wished to gain something through conquest, then you have failed, for you shall gain nothing but ashes. At least we, yes we! Band together, maybe we can at least pick up some of the pieces. If they heed my call, I shall send Wanderjarian Marines to Chitzeland along with my 2nd Motorized Infantry division, to restore order. If they refuse, then my faith in Humanity is lost. I pray that the Chitzis can endure if that be the case, though that is a wayward dream. That is all I must say." An awe struck crowd stood before the young Emperor. Never had he made a statement which did not leave his nation fired and energized. They now felt pity for Chitzeland, a nation they remembered only as Wanderjar's only defeat, where 100,000 of their young men had perished. They began to applause as he trudged back into the Palace, the thunderous roar drowning out all other ambience.

"Sir," One of Baker's General's said, "Do you think any of them shall cease fighting?"

"I do not know, old friend," Baker replied with a slight smile, his sad eyes looking ahead, seemingly at some distant target, "But we shall see."

As optomistic as you pleading is, we fear that Chitzeland shall never become stable so long as the Parthians continue to slaughter Chitzis. Their actions are unacceptable and inexcuseable, and therefore shall be dealt with in time, already we believe that they no longer see Chitzeland as a prize, but as a wasteland of death and destruction.

The Peoples Republic Of Hurtful Thoughts has been hired by the Revolutionary Directate of Chitzeland to keep their civil war a domestic conflict, and to prevent outsiders from influencing the outcome. If we leave now we would have failed them, and our country would be in disgrace; that is not acceptable.

Please accept our humblest apologies, for we shall not leave Chitzeland behind to die, no matter the cost.

I am not asking you to leave. I was asking to rebuild. I am merely requesting that all sides cease fire against each other, and try to rebuild Chitziland, not destroy it further.

"Form up and let em pass around us, then we'll hit em where they don't want to be hit!"

The'd do a classic plan, almost as ingenous as the Schliffen plan, but less flawed, it would involve very small units acting as pickets, while the force divides into 4 concentrated groups.

Summary, they set up an ambush where their best guess of where you were heading.

Picket force (East)
The pickets listened as the Parthian armored brigade blundered into the PROHT minefield(s). Then, as if on command, they fired their improvised Furgasses loaded with a cocktail of Chlordane, hydrogen sulfide, and LSD upon the Brigade. (A very volatile chemical cocktail that induces vomiting, farting, hallucinations (not fun when in a smokescreen and in a minefield), plus the strong smell of rotten eggs that is strong enough to make copper brittle and break (imagine that smell, now enhance it with LSD)

Chlordane may be absorbed through skin, and causes nausia, vomiting, and diarrea among other things. (It also kills termites)

LSD may be ingested, inhaled, or absorbed through skin, and produces resaults almost immediately

Litterally the type of flatulence that may melt the hingees off of Ft Knox. :eek:
Or at the very least make the gold unuseable due to the stench and contamination.

He's been gone for the past 2 months and it doesn't look like he'll be back an time soon.

He suffered a stroke and died when he saw what we did to his beutiful country.

"Man," Baker said to the General. "I wish I'd taken Craven's advice, and tried a more diplomatic approach to this one. Then again, I know I was in the right. He was attempting Genocide against Islamic peoples. I just wished it hadn't led to the death of an entire nation. Damnit Pudu, we we're so close too."

"It isn't your fault. Many other nations followed you into this." The General replied, putting a hand on the Emperor's shoulder. "Do we need to mobilize the troops?"

"Yes. I started this, and now i'm going to finish it. We have the strength now to do it."



To: The Government of The Partians
From: Emperor Baker of the Red Empire of Wanderjar


I wish to inform you of the terrible crimes that have been committed here. Nuclear assaults on civillians, erradication of entire cities, this is completely unacceptable. I ask that you abandon your ideas of conquest, as there is nothing left to conquer. Join with me, and PROHT, and do something good. Help us rebuild. Does there need to be anymore bloodshed?

I say no. Am I ready for another war? Yes. I do not want one. I want to bring peace to this ravaged land. But if you intend to stand in my way, then I shall be forced to push you aside. Please, band with me, not raise arms against me. Both of us, with our strength, can do much good here.


I will leave the decision to you. I pray you make the right choice.


---Emperor Christoph Baker of The Red Empire of Wanderjar

The Chitzis Revolutionary Directorate had long been quiet about their country's situation. For months, they had sat back and watched their nation ravaged by war, and ripped to shreds by internal strife.

They would tolerate it no longer.

Wanderjar, the nation which had began this war, which hadn't the stomach to finish the operation, to restore order, had fled, tail beneath their legs, and had only now issued a statement on the happenings.

"We need to consolodate ourselved," Chief Director Jacob Benning said, addressing his fellow members of the Directorship. They sat within one of Copelands old palaces, within a gated complex guarded by hundreds of heavily armed, loyalist, soldiers. There were 11 Directors now. Some had been assasinated in the previous months, others had merely died. The survivors were all that was left. All that remained of Chitzeland's future, a future they hoped to provide. "The PROHT military is doing all it can, but it doesn't seem to be enough. We must combine all military units into full strength divisions, and reinforce them. We must take back our country."

"Indeed," replied Director George Harrison. "But will it be enough? Can we even hope to muster enough people to drive out this enemy?"

"I for one," Another Director, Ian Smith, "Believe it to be worth a try. The other option is submission."

The Cheif Director sighed. "Then it is agreed?" The other ten Directors nodded. "Good. Inform General Trenton and Hanson that it is to be done."

New Chitzeland, eh?

I was informed that Chitzeland had died almost 2 months ago.

You look good and alive now.

Great 1st post BTW.

And now I hopefully won't have to figure out the minute details of the A-25 Grizzly. Mostly been asking for air support from the Chitzi forces since the PROHT group was depleted from previous battles (Ort delaying action, FB-2A, FB-3C, FB-3A)

While you where away:

I hired a little extra help, some guys from the Leafthanistani Mafia to help rally and train a new western front assault on Ort (haven't heard from him in awhile on this issue), and a few other forces that appear to have declined the offer at the last second.

The Black Hand of Nod is in Bearmish and has linked up with Leafthanistni/Chitzi forces.

The Parthians are still at large, and won 3 phyrric victories against PROHT firebases. In response PROHT has started escalating their involvement. (21 more PROHT divisions being fielded).

Oh, and Parthians have a death camp set up in Ort because they no longer see occupation of Chitzeland as worthwhile. (something about the locals being overly hostile to Parthian troops)

(OOC: lol PROHT. Actually, this is Wanderjar. I figured that if we're going to stablize the nation, Chitzeland has to exist. Therefore, I made new Chitzeland, due to the Revolutionary Directorate reaserting their power, in the hope of driving out all their enemies, and putting their nation at peace and rebuilding. I guess it's kinda symbolic, since Old Chitzeland died, that New Chitzeland was born by the person who "killed" the original. I'll put up an IC in a couple hours


Thanks for the comment about my post, I put alot of thought into that one :))

And apparently Copeland isn't really dead, though I was very much convinced he was. (3 seperate times)

But that is to be expected since you are not him. (Although he had a unique way of looking at events within his country and a certain way of wording things).

Pelsgord Southeast Column

The Parthian lead tanks, five in total were the first to hit the minefield, though the crews inside were safe under the multiple layers of armor, 4 had their treads blown off, leaving them disabled and forced to rely on bringing up engineering tanks equipped with anti-mine rollers and ploughs which blasted a path through the mines as the other tanks followed, allowing them to continue to advance inwards.

Then, the computers detected traces of various known chemical agents in the air, for the armored advance, it was not a problem, IFVs and MBTs used by Parthia were CBW equipped, designed to operate in Parthia's favored method of killing with gas and sending in CBW gear equipped forces to annihliate decimated enemies. But it did indicate that it would be easy to counter it with their own stores of BZ gas, similar to LSD in effect, but far more potent in causing delirium and hallucination, following that, hundreds of shells of tear gas were lobbed onto enemy positions, creating an equivalent cloud of delirium and incapacitation in preparation for the full attack.

In response, the initial force of M-29s moved rapidly, advancing through the clouds of smoke, their improved telescoping targetting systems activating for as soon as they burst through the smoke clouds and unloaded their 120mm ETC guns upon the enemy forces ahead of them.

10th Armored Division, Brigade A, East Pelsgord

The Parthians continued to advance northward, suprised at the lack of enemy positions on the east of the city, they had no order to proceed into the city, currently a storm of burning flames leaping up like miniature tornadoes, spreading sheets of flame across asphalt streets and cremating whole buildings with insane temperatures and flame. Instead, they were to locate and pin down any enemy forces which might be in reserve elsewhere on the perimeter of the city, hoping to keep the main body of the attack on the Southeast able to engage smaller forces for as long as possible and ensure PROHT forces remained heavily divided.

14th Army Group, Outside Shetterdan

Lord Marshall Masoud Fardmanesh looked through his field glasses at the city below, roads clogged with Chitzi civilians evacuating the city as the Parthian army approached, threatening utter destruction. This one, however, would be a different sort of conquest, one of pacification rather than destruction, so as to preserve the Chitzis here for the Shah's future plans for this nation.

On his order, concentrated artillery barrages struck power plants, radio antennae, and other infrastructure of the city, hopefully annihilating any hope the citizens still in the city had for salvation. With the barrages continuing, the advance group of the army began to advance forward, attepting to create a line stretching across over half the city's perimeter for a final assault and conquest.

If any resistance was found, it would be annihilated.

Official Statement by the Shah of Parthia to the Government of Wanderjar

I have no concern for the lives of the Chitzi people, I intend without concern to utilize this scrap of land for every conceivable way in building my national wealth. Parthia's Grand Military will not rest until this country is the personal estate of the Shahanshah, for my own wealth and benefit.

I intend to use this country like Leopold used the Congo, to enrich myself, my nation, and my people. The Chitzis are merely a resource to further utilize, but one that can have its position filled through my Shooban slaves, these conquests are not the first of their type, I make money with each one, and will continue to do so until the end of my dynasty.

Thanks for the info man!)

Providence had been relatively untouched by the Parthians, though it was not untouched by war. Numerous buildings sat burned down, broken, or caved in. The one building which still stood strong and healthy, was the Directorate Palace, which was maintained to be a beacon of hope for the Chitzis people.


John Matthews sat upon his front porch, silently counting the hours tick by, exactly as he'd done every day for the past months. He had no job, no money, food was scarce, his whole world was collapsing, as was it for millions of other Chitzis.

Turning to one of his friends, who stayed with him, he said, "Is this ever going to end? Or are we just going to be a third world country forever now?"

Thinking, his friend, a rail thin man named Robert replied, "I don't know. I guess it's nice to think that maybe some day, the Army'll win."

"Yep. It is a pleasant thought." The just sat there, the quiet road which stretched past his home had seen few people for weeks now. Most folks stayed in their houses, fending off raiders and scavengers who prey on the weak in times like these.

Suddenly, he heard a loud rumbling coming from the East. He listened closely.

"You hear that?" John asked, leaning closer in the direction of the noise.

"Yeah, sounds like..." Robert's eyes grew wide, and he uttered meekly, "tanks."

A long column of T-80 and T-90 tanks, surrounded on both sides by Chitzis uniformed infantry, were marching down the road. The lead tank, which he assumed was the command tank, had a large banner fluttering in the breeze. Looking closer, he saw it was the New Chitzeland Flag, a red and black banner, with a maroon star emblazoned in the center. The Directorate had finally brought the military to fight.

John couldn't help but cheer. He and Robert let out a mighty hurrah at the sight of so many Chitzis troops. In front of the house, he saw the Colonel in command of the column look John in the eye. He was an older man, with a balding white hair'd head, and a large Kaiser Bill mustache. He raised an arm, and the column stopped.

Getting off the tank, he stepped forward, motioning his hand for them to come to him. They did.

"You men need a job?" He asked.

"Yes sir!" The both said similtaneously.

"Well, every man we've seen so far, we've asked him the same question, and they always give the same answer. Go farther down the line and ask for Sergeant Edmond. He'll give you a rifle and a uniform. Hurry along now!" They stood awe struck, and hurried down the line. The column rolled forward, with no end in sight to the long green line.


(Chitzis Flag: http://www.nationstates.net/new_chitzeland )

Wanderjarian Marines landed on the shores of Chitzeland at 5:00 am. In the darkness, 20,000 men in landing craft slipped onto the beach, and secured an old Wanderjarian Airfield, which had been left almost completely as it was when troops pulled out. Aircraft began landing in the following hours, disgorging troops and equipment, many more than sent in the prior conflict, almost 5 million men, and their equipment. The Wanderjarian Navy settled in Zarzor, where another 40,000 Marines made their base.


The Parthians were in for a war.

I wish to merely restore order here. I will not threaten you, as I was under the impression that we had normalized relations. If you ignore me, and my operations, then I will not bother you.


Good day to you. I hope that we may continue to have decent relations.



(OOC: Dude, just ignore my operations ok? I truly don't have any other designs than restoring peace to the area, and getting rid of Parthians. I don't want anything to do with you, other than to have normal, peaceful relations. This is more so that I can stop worrying about people possibly asking me why I abandoned the area in future RPs.)

OOC: If you start shooting Parthians than I'll start shooting you. If you come anywhere near my borders we'll shoot off a few "warning" shots, otherwise, we may be able to leave you be. I am though, planning a second large outward push, so don't get in the way. The Revolutionary whatever is beggining operations on a larger scale, and so we are threatened, not to mention bored. My government holds a grudge. Oh well.

Also, YES! I KNOW! You said that you were "New Chitzeland" awhile ago, and I understood. Not sure why you felt it necessary to tell me again, but I promise, I understand.

Also, again, the Dominion holds a grudge becuase, we have very little diplomatic contact with other people, and so those we've had bad contact with tend to stick.

I will, even now, however, sell to you in my storefront. I only don't sell to those whom I am at war with, and I'm not with you, until you start shooting me, and those who are mentioned in the openeing post.

East Chitzeland, Pudite Occupied Lands, Last Few Days
Over the last many days, while war raged beyond their borders, the Pudite troops I East Chitzeland had been reinforced. It had been going on for weeks since the peace had been declared. In reality, the Emperor had no interest in a cease-fire, or in allowing this piece of territory to slip between his fingers. Many, many hundreds of ships were sailing in and out, bringing Pudite force levels up to nearly wartime levels. It was obvious an assault was planned beforehand, but now, with the return of Wanderjar and an escalation in the fighting, a very pleasing excuse had been created for them.

A few days ago, the infamous 42nd Division had begun operating beyond established borders, moving in and out of the fighting and gathering valuable intelligence on troop levels and individual strength of nearly every faction involved in the conflict. Now they would not be alone. Previously established air patrols would expand their areas of influence, flying beyond the borders of East Chitzeland in their small groups. Each patrol would consist of five of the newly inducted F-78K Strakhen Sokol air superiority fighters. They would not directly engage any factions soldiers or humanitarian personnel unless previously engaged by forces allied to those encountered. A total of fifty of these five-aircraft patrols would begin flying only half an hour after the parade in Providence. Although these patrols would not venture that far west, they were now flying as far south as Yuri, halfway to Desseldor and Providence, and precisely one-hundred miles over the northern swampland known as Bealle Province. Also taking to the air in the land inside East Chitzeland itself were another seventy five-man patrols covering the mainland, and an area up to twenty miles off the coast, of the new Pudite district. Helicopters too were to be involved, with each of the twenty-nine compounds established in East Chitzeland fielding fifty SAH-27A attack helicopters, with all along the coast also fielding fifty HVC-02 anti-submarine warfare helicopters. Patrols would darken the sky of the district, no enemy movement would be permitted.

At sea, things had changed too. The fleet off shore of Locke now consisted of many new ships, including the Roydia class battleships Conflagration, Flames of Purity, Inferno and the Wrath of Flame, who had each fought in the original campaign here, now aided by two more battleships, the Final Judgment, and the Hammerstroke. These were surrounded by three Tye Verna class fleet carriers, Indomitable, Invulnerable, and Indefatigable. Surrounding these were twenty four large cruisers, nine of which were Carthage class air defense cruisers, five Helina class battlecruisers, and ten Portlandia class guided missile cruisers. Surrounding these ships, in a rough picket around the ports were forty two escorts; fifteen Swiftsure class destroyers, seven Adari class air defense destroyers, five Atlantia class AEGIS destroyers, seven Royale class frigates, and eight Grevant class missile frigates. They were fully equipped, highly trained, and on alert for the new offensive on land. They were commanded by the highly experienced and valued Admiral Kadova, who had led the Dominion through its earliest wars. He was an extremely trusted individual, and for good reason. His men adored him, most having served under him, at least before, if not constantly up to this conflict.

South of Locke, in the Pudite Administration Compound’s docks in Accen was a fleet of similar proportions. There lay three Roydia class battleships, two Tye Verna class fleet carriers, four Carthage class air defense cruiser, two Helina class battlecruisers, and seven Portlandia class guided missile cruisers. Also here the smaller escorts worked on picket duty, these numbering ten Swiftsure class destroyers, five Adari class air defense destroyers, and twelve Grevant class missile frigates. The southern fleet was smaller, and commanded by a less experienced man, a newly appointed Admiral Predslava. He was eager to make a name, but scared of what may occur if he was to act brashly. Held in check as were all officers of the Dominion, by subtle and not-so-subtle propaganda methods.

The final fleet operating in the theater was Admiral Presov’s submarine flotilla, which had remained here for the entirety of the conflict. Here numbered another fifty craft. There were the fifteen Port class cruise missile submarines, squadron commanded by Captain Vargan, the two fifteen ship squadrons of Forthar quiet attack submarines, commanded by, respectively, Captains Kolyvat and Baguta. The final five submarines were the five Palace class fleet ballistic submarines of Captain Bitmut’s squadron. The twenty missile submarines would remain in reserve, offering support to land and sea operations as required, while the thirty attack submarines would operate in ten small packs of three each, patrolling the entirety of the North Sea and the coast of the swampy Bealle province. The water here had to be controlled at all costs, it was vital to the success of the men on the ground to have a safe and organized back-lines logistics organization.

On land the situation was rapidly expanding. Post-war levels of just over one-million troops were wildly surpassed by now, with each of the twenty-nine compounds of East Chitzeland garrisoning five Infantry divisions, which totaled at two-million, nine hundred thousand men. Compounds along the district borders also hosted a further five Infantry divisions, three Armored divisions, one Light Infantry divisions, plus five more Heavy Infantry divisions housed at both the Locke and Accen administration compounds and the five Mechanized Infantry divisions housed at the other three administration compounds. Together these totaled a further one million, four hundred thousand soldiers along with supporting armored vehicles and helicopters.

Railroads were the main infrastructure remaining in East Chitzeland, as most of the roads had been demolished, leaving only rough dirt paths and rubble piles. Railroads linked all twenty-nine compounds together, with hubs at each of the five administration compounds. All transportation was handled either by these, or by the great number of Coba variety light transport aircraft, who operate off of the paved runways at each compound. Eventually new railroads were to be constructed below grounds to connect the compounds, but there was not enough time to manage this as of yet. It would be a post-war development.

In any case, the Dominion was ready for war, and it appeared as though they were not interested in waiting too much longer.

(OOC: If you wouldn't mind telling me how many troops you have in Chitzeland, and the type of MBT you use? I'd appreciate it.

OOC: I have about 500 Mechanized Infantry and 50 Armored divisions, a total number of 9,000,000 men and 75,000 M-29A4 MBTs.

If possible, since you are now taking the role of Chitzi defense forces, could you rp the defense of Shetterdan against the Parthian assault?


OOC: Of course mate, I'll put up an IC in about five minutes.

OOC: Your troop numbers were inordinately high, numbering in the far-to-many millions. And, I had not committed my entire military. I assure you, you did not win, and nor will you now.

Also, YES! I KNOW! You said that you were "New Chitzeland" awhile ago, and I understood. Not sure why you felt it necessary to tell me again, but I promise, I understand.

Also, again, the Dominion holds a grudge becuase, we have very little diplomatic contact with other people, and so those we've had bad contact
with tend to stick.

I will, even now, however, sell to you in my storefront. I only don't sell to those whom I am at war with, and I'm not with you, until you start shooting me, and those who are mentioned in the openeing post.

OOC:Yes, i'll admit, I god modded bad back then. But it was my first RP, and I didn't understand how things worked you know? You pretty well helped me out with that, and I appreciate it :)

But as far as winning goes, I never claimed I did. But there is one advantage I have, that can crush your numbers. Real Life experiance. You may have numbers on me, but i've spent years studying warfare and tactics. I know how to fight a war. A war now between us would be interesting indeed. And probably fun too. But I can't afford one right now, for certain, likely obvious reasons (they don't involve you either).

OOC: It's starting by the force enveloping around most of the south and east of the city outskirts before pushing into the city itelf, so far, its in the process of doing that.

(OOC: Since the Army is only now starting to be organized, I'm going to say that there are about 30,000 troops in the city, with a BMP2 Battalion (42 BMPs) They're going to be reinforced eventually by that Army I mentioned earlier.)



IC:


Brigadier General Keller paced in the heavily fortified bunker that was his command HQ. Without the advantage of advanced communications, and relying on old PRC-77 radios to relay orders, the COMM channels were chaotic to say the least.

"PAPA BEAR, THIS IS REAPER-6, OVER," The Battalion commander in the outer city trenches said to the Divisional Commander.

"REAPER-6, THIS IS PAPA BEAR, READ."

"PAPA BEAR, SCOUT PLATOON SHOWS PARTHIAN MOVEMENT INTO CITY, EXPECT IMMEDIATE CONTACT, OVER."

Keller nodded, and picked up the microphone to speak again, the entire command staff staring at him, wide eyed. "ROGER THAT. PULL BACK SCOUT PLATOON, AND READY 1ST TRENCH LINE TO REPEL ATTACKERS, OVER."

"ROGER AND READ. OUT." The Major squelched the radio to signify his acknowlegment, and cut the connection.

"Alright boys, get your shit together, we're going to be in for a long night."



Major Howard Johnson of 1st Battalion was not thrilled with the prospect of being the primary line of defense of the city. He'd survived the initial assault by the Wanderjarian Army, the ensueing civil war, the Pudu and Kravanian war, and now had so far survived the Parthian conflict, though had had little involvement as of yet.

Flipping the saftey off his AK-74M, he ordered the Company commanders to ready their men. After they left the Frontline HQ bunker, and proceeded to their respective spot along the trench line, he prayed.


There were 3,000 men along those trenches. Though vastly more than a standard battalion, this reinforced unit would be better able to hold this line, or at least cause damage to the Parthian assault. All Major Johnson could hope for was for a miracle.

DMG Mercenaries landed on the beaches as well. Two Dweladelfian Tank divisions rolled towards Shetterdan in order to reinforce the out matched Chitzis forces.

An Armored Division from the Wanderjarians also moved with the DMG mercenaries, followed by a Mechanized Division.


(Wanderjarian Mechanized Division: 10,000 Infantry, 500 M2 Bradleys, Attached Armor Company: 14 M1A2 Abrams)

(Armored Division: 126 K-1 Tanks (K-1 is like an Abrams, except with dual Smoothbore 120mm Cannons i.e two main guns and one 7.62 mm Coaxial gun)

OOC: Should that (first of the two) have been posted under the New Chitzeland name? (Wanderjar)



North Sea, Hunter-Killer Pack Epsilon, Command Submarine Glorious Revolution
Captain Ekov was pacing back and forth in his Forthar class attack submarine, waiting. It really was a boring duty, this patrol job, but he thought nothing of it. It was his service to the Emperor, and all the men knew it. So he continued, pacing...

Suddenly, as he was walking behind his radar officer, he felt a tap on the leg. Looking down, he realized it was the officer, beckoning him to look. Ekov stepped over, leaning down to put his head at the same level as his sailors,

"What is it, Saltyk?"

Saltyk raised his hand up to the small circular green radar display screen in front of him,

"There sir, two contacts, submerged, moving slowly. Orders?"

Ekov turned across the room, now looking at his pilot, a man named Ivashko, "Ivashko, slow up down to seven knots, run quiet, cut all radio communication."

Ekov turned back to the radar screen, he thought to himself, hopefully the rest of the patrol has the same idea...


And they did. All three submarines of Epsilon Pack slowed and sank, moving silently to a position in front of and below the Black Hand submarines. Although the Pudite submarines were indeed designed to operate silently, it was best not to push their luck, and so all three Captains opened fire shortly after detection of the foreign craft, with each of the three subs launching three supercavitating torpedoes, each pushing along a 210kg warhead at speeds sometimes exceeding two-hundred kilometers an hour. These weapons moved far to fast for evasive maneuvers to become effective. A responding volley was expected, and so the other three torpedo tubes on each submarine were kept ready, to fire their own torpedoes on an intercept course against those of the enemy. Success was nearly definite, failure was out of the question.

All across the North Sea encounters like this one were occurring, sometimes with the Pudite submarines getting the drop on their outnumbered counterparts, while sometimes the Black Hand craft had the upper hand, but a combination of genetically enhanced reflexes, superior numbers, super-fast torpedoes, and years of experience seemed to weight the field a little bit. The North Sea had to be kept clear.

OOC: Should that (first of the two) have been posted under the New Chitzeland name? (Wanderjar)


OOC: The 1st one should have been. Sorry about that.


The second one is supposed to be as it is :)

OOC: Those are my subs, right?
OOC: Yeah, they're your subs. After I realized that you would eventually keep coming, I decided to jump ahead, and since no one knows who those subs belong too... And with your fleet located in an area with limited escape routes.

-North Sea-
The Ambush was expected, but not with such great furiocity.
6 of the Subs barely had a chance to react besides a few poorly aimed shots before being sent to a watery grave. Of the other 4, 2 hand managed to spot the group they were hunting before they could get the drop on them. The last two meanwhile had sat to the rear waiting for just such an occasion. Even farther to the Rear the Assault Subs prepared for their primary Objective.

~Command Sub, Hunter 10~
"Alright people I want status reports!" "1,2,3,4,7 are off the grid. "And of 8?" "Can't raise her, she's not going to make it." "I hope they remember to give their defeaters their just rewards."

~Sub 8~
Only a handful of survivors remained on board the dying vessel, the rest drowned or worse. The one currently in charge however managed to activate their last attack. Instantly the entire Sub Exploded with a much greater force then was thought to be possible.

~Sub 10~
"Sonar detects explosive shockwave." "Tell 5 and 6 to pull full reverse, lead them to our trap." "Fall back, we wait for their advance with the assault subs."

OOC: And allow me to quote.
I have not yet begun to fight!

Um, Wund, why not do as Leaf did and have your forces join the PROHT military as a free company? You get to keep your leaders and equipment, plus, they technically aren't wundjarian military forces.

America did this in both world wars, this really pissed off the Japanese. The closest modern situation that an American would understand and would apply to reletively modern times would be if the Soviet Union sent troops into Vietnam to fight for them as "mecenaries", but armed with Russan gear, tactical nukes, and they wear Russian uniforms, and they don't speak Vietnamese, now have them send in T-72s against our M-41 Walker bulldogs instead of delapidated T-34/85s and T-54s and you get an idea of why the Japanese screamed FOUL when the AVF started gunning down Japanese planes with American planes and American pilots, when America was supposedly nuetral during 1936-1940.

But since Pudu wouldn't look too closely at PROHT actions, they really wouldn't care too much if a few of your men retired early for various reasons to go into "private armies", you may even issue a pardon to these people allowing them to rejoin the military without dishonour.

And don't step one foot into East Chitzeland whatever you do.

I didn't think of it that way...you bring up an interesting point.

And whats up with East Chitzis?

East Chitzeland, Locke Administration Compound and Surrounding Countryside
Pudite Theater Commander, Admiral Kadova, had just received word that a large Task Force fleet was in-bound to East Chitzeland to bring the first reinforcements since the escalation, as Pudite commanders had taken to calling the return to prominence of the Chitzi Revolutionary Government and returned Wanderjarian involvement. This new fleet was bound for the port city of Yuri, although this was not common knowledge, even among Dominion commanders. It was to be a surprise attack, spearheaded by a battalion of the 42nd Division, already operating in-country. Coming from the sea would be ten Mechanized divisions, forty Infantry divisions, fifteen Armored divisions, five Light Infantry divisions, and two Marine divisions. The final of which would actually be involved in the landing, while the rest would be unloaded as the city was captured.

The attack was scheduled for four o' clock in the morning four days from now. Until then, operations were to continue as normal, give no hint of interest in the eastern cities, and continue patrols and fly-overs in the western provinces. Meanwhile, a thousand of the 42nd Division "Emperor's Mercy" Light Infantry would be amassing twenty miles north of Yuri, these men would operate only with their trusted, primitive, UAZ jeeps and a handful of well-worn Humvees, keeping a very low profile. Keeping to the woods and hills, the battalion would move stealthily forward until they were just miles outside of Yuri, two hours before the attack, killing any paramilitary operative or civilian who they came across. Then the attack would begin.

The Administration had big plans for this new offensive, with all enemies capable of slowing them down to a degree engaging Parthian forces in the west, the eastern plains were left open for further Pudite expansion. Currently, rumors circulated through the Chitze civilian population surrounding East Chitzeland that he was back, that Copeland was back. It would no doubt provoke mixed reactions, but reactions none the less. Recently television shots of Copeland making appearances with the Pudite officer, Mr. Grey, newspaper articles about his taking command of the foreign, and exceedingly private East Chitzeland.

Now even more rumors were circulating, it appeared that the Pudite High Council had apparently voted, voting to include the cities of Desseldor, Uphelzor, Zarzor, Elfzar, and Yuri into what was referred to as the Dominion. All official, governmental inquiries were met with closed doors and short denials, but everyone knew it, and soon a new map was circulating though the papers.

Nobody from outside East Chitzeland had ever heard anything from anyone inside, all communications were obliterated, and so nobody knew what was happening next. It was obvious that the Pudites were not moving east, in fact, it appeared that they showed more interest in the vast north-western swampland and the crowded urban west coast. Nobody knew what to expect from what they feared to be the soon to be Pudite occupiers. Most rumors pointed to their desire to occupy peacefully, but these conflicted heavily with the pre and during war rumors of the Pudites as brutal slave masters and heartless killers.

In fact, almost all of the rumors were concocted by 42nd Division soldiers operating undercover in rural areas outside East Chitzeland in preparation for a real offensive to the east, but appearances were kept up so as to show at least equal, if not surpassing interest in the north-western areas. It was a confusing time, Pudite occupation would put a swift end to that, they would see...

North Sea, Hunter Killer Packs, Finishing Combat
Most submarine hunter-killer patrols had encountered drastic success against their enemy counterparts, and any who had survived their own encounters fired off their remaining three loaded torpedoes at the fleeing submarines as they began pursuit. Both the engaged packs, any nearby hunter-killer groups, and those who had won over and annihilated their own enemies began a pursuit of the remaining few.

Casualties so far were few, as all torpedoes fired by the enemy that may have hit, were easily defeated by the remaining three safeguard torpedoes whos original purpose it had been to destroy enemy torpedoes. The only deaths were those aboard two of the three submarines that had been engaging the Black Hand torpedo 8, whos unexpected explosion outright destroyed one submarine, and crippled another so badly they were forced to surface and limp back to port at Locke.

The pursuing submarines now numbered seventeen Forthar class quiet attack submarines, who advanced cautiously, reloading their six torpedo tubes and doing their best to remain silent while still moving with enough speed to keep up. It seemed odd that these obviously outnumbered submarines would simply appear, get destroyed, and flee instantly, and so trickery was suspected. The Dominion's submarines were ready, and willing, to destroy anything else that these unknown assailants had waiting.

I didn't think of it that way...you bring up an interesting point.

Subject: War in Chitzeland
Message: In the outset of your own involvement in this regional conflict a cease-fire was negotiated between our own two nations. Now, with your continued and escalated involvement and our own renewed escalation of force in the theater I believe it would be wise to arrange a non-aggression agreement between what must be seen as two of the most powerful forces currently operating in Chitzeland. Our forces will not venture west beyond the cities of Yrtel and Providence during or after the war, in return for an agreement of your own not to pass eastward of Providence and Yrtel. In this way conflict is avoided, and we can both continue along our own paths as we choose.

But alas, upon further reading you left a provision that 'Copeland' would control an area just outside of your claimed land (a sort of buffer zone).

-North Sea-
The Nod Subs held back as the Assault Subs got into position.
A unique thing about many Nod subs were their ability to safely lie on the Ocean floor, this proved to be a great advantage when it came to sonar, since they could often mask themselves with the normal debris on the ocean floor. This would soon be put to the test as they waited for the Pudu subs to pass close.

~BH Sub 9~
"Ready on my mark!" Sub 9 had been chosen for the plan, it was suicidal but Nod followers were always ready to lay down their lives.

~Ocean Floor~
The Pudu subs neared the Assault subs, however due to their silience the Assault subs still couldn't track them.

~Sub 9~
"For Slavik for Kane, Peace through Power!" the captain shouted pressing a button switching to Active Sonar. *PING*

-North Sea-
The Sonar revealed Sub 9 to the Pudu subs, but it also revealed the Pudu sub's locations. This was all the Assault subs needed, Choosing their targets, they launched a swarm of torpedoes from the roofs of their subs, followed by Sea mines to box in the remaining Subs.

North Sea, Hunter Killer Packs, Submarine Combat
The Pudite submarines were surprised to detect the enemy’s torpedoes having been seemingly launched from the sea floor, but this surprise did not slow their reaction at all. Every submarine launched five out of their six loaded torpedoes at the incoming attacks, and every Pudite torpedo eventually hit its mark. Unfortunately, there were simply too many incoming targets, and some did get through. Three submarines, including the Glorious Revolution were to badly damaged to even surface, and began the long, slow sink to the bottom. All power was lost, all hope was lost. Two further submarines were damaged in the flood, and forced to surface and begin the trek home.

As the mines began to rise, the two fleeing submarines sped up, in a hope to cross their 'border' before they came close enough to the surface to hit them. One made it, the other took a mine explosion directly in the center of the belly, killing everyone inside and sending the husk to the bottom beside the three other Pudite submarines.

The fourteen remaining submarines were now aware of the bottomed assault submarines, and fired their remaining one torpedo per craft, again speeding toward them at well over two-hundred kilometers an hour. There was now no way to dodge them, as the floor submarines' engines would have to have been at least power down. There was no hope to dodge for the targeted subs. unfortunately, this also left the Pudite submarines vulnerable to counter-attack, as it would take a few seconds now to re-load their six torpedo tubes. The battle was more alive than all Pudite commanders could have previously guessed.

-North Sea-
The Fighting was intense, as Sub 10 noted from the reports. The Assault subs were about to get swarmed by counterfire but it bought Nod time, Sub Ten and Six provided another Salvo before fleeing. Five prepared to cover their retreat and moved to port to fire from it's 6 Portside torpedo tubes.

~Sub 9~
"FIRE!" The Commander shouted as Sub 9 Launched Four Torpedoes at the distracted Pudu Subs. "Full Foward, right in the middle of these bastards!"

~Assault Subs~
The Countermeasures were launched soon after the Torpedo strike but, they were too close to be effective against the counter blast, never the less, the countermeasures exploded in the standard Firewall patten, Destroying the Torpedoes and 8 out of the Ten Subs they were supposed to protect. The final two were severely damaged and were doomed to forever remain at the bottom.

-Sub 10-
"Tell command we're getting slaughtered down here, tell them however that we have good judgement of our opponents capablities, the stats will be sent over with this message.

New Roanoke Island Intellegence station

PROHT satalites noticed a reletively large action of Pudite submarines.

One photo showed topedoe trails, a surfaced submarine that had been badly damaged, a large debris field, and multiple underwater expolsions.

"What is going on over there?" an intellgence operator asked himself, but he had no answer.
--------
Another operator was gtting information on East Chitzeland's claimed borders, which where much larger than he thought they should have been.

Already in his head things started to come together.

This is what he knew:

Pudites have increased border patrols and aircraft flyovers in West Chitzeland, making it so that even if a single PROHT horse was unattended, they would know, even before the PROHT soldiers.
East Chitzeland has an Iron Curtain around it, making it very difficult to figure out what was going on in there.
A massive fleet of boats in Yurri, and the Pudite reputation of trying to be sneeky and sly.
Pudite claims did not include Yurri, but it was within East Chitzeland.
Pudites where taking Yurri because they knew there was nothing that PROHT forces could (legally) do about it.
West Chitzi forces, on the other hand, may legally take East Chitzeland, though this would cripple the joint effort against the Parthians
If, however; a Chitzi reunification attempt was made which would spurn the Pudites to break their treaty, then PROHT troops would have no choice but to follow.


This list was then telegramed to the Revolutionary Directate of Chitzeland

will edit this if I did anything wrong (if so, please say so)

OOC: Looks fine to me :)

The Defenders of Shetterdan had sent out sapper teams to lay mines and other traps for the oncoming troops. Even if they did minimal damage, it would still be something.

Total Anti Tank Mines: 500
Total Anti-Personnel Mines (Bouncing Bettys, Claymores, Dragontooth, etc): 1,000

OOC: Where in Wanderjarian territory did you land, exactly (Carbandia)? Also, Nod, yeah I did mess up those numbers. I'll edit it to become proper.


North Sea, Hunter Killer Packs, Submarine Combat
The fourteen remaining Pudite submarines were hit hard by the enemy counterattack, with a further two being destroyed utterly. But, now, the end was in sight. The Pudite submarines were now down to twelve craft, and seconds after their two counterparts were sent to the bottom, each of them launched another volley, three torpedoes each, into the remaining few enemy submarines.

It had still not been determined who it was exactly that owned these attacking subs, and so when combat would finally draw to a close, hopefully soon after the launch of this newest volley, it would be necessary to investigate the wrecks of the destroyed attacking submarines. Once an enemy had been determined, proper action could be taken.

It did, however, seem apparent that it would not be these submarines taking that action. The Pudite under-sea force had been crippled severely, and would probably have to scale back actions after this encounter until a further five squadrons arrived in three days time with the 'reinforcement' fleet.

OOC: Back during the 1st War, I had a airfield about half way between Yuri and Accen. Nothing ever happened to it, so I basically said it was still there. Thats where he unloaded.


Remember Pudu, this is where my invasion began the 1st time, so no sabre rattling about my unloading here. This is the only place where I have a base availible.

OOC: Alright... So can I have a troop count for the city of Yuri.

So far I believe there to be the single Carbandian division, and thats it...

Well, total Wanderjarian forces in New Chitzeland all together are

2 Wanderjarian MEUs (20,000 Wanderjarian Marines each and 200 Abrams Tanks each)

1st Armored Division (378 K-1 tanks)

2nd Mechanized Infantry Division (50,000 Wanderjarian Infantry, 150 Leopard 2 tanks, 600 M2 Bradleys)


And if the situation requires, many more can be deployed. I'm going with 1% of my Army alone. Literally, I just calculated it out. And some of my airforce is arriving, and so is my Naval presence in Zarzor. Very light operation so far, though more will be coming.

OOC: Thanks, but now I'm interested... How many guys are in your military?

OOC: Thanks, but now I'm interested... How many guys are in your military?


I have about 8 million in the army. Then about 9 Million in my Airforce, and 10 million in the navy. Then I have a 30 million man Logisitcs department, which handles logistical movements. However, not all 9 million men in the airforce are pilots, 75% are mechanics or support people. The Navy is the largest because of the enormous amount of men it requires to field ships, be it mechanics, crew men, etc. The Marines have about 300,000 men. 120,000 are combat, the others are support, though all can be made into combat units, "Every Marine a Riflemen."

In the Army, I have about 2,000,000 combat troops. The others are support personnel, or Reserves.


I don't feel this is unrealistic, since I could field even more troops, but I go with the 5% rule instead of 10% which some people use instead and a personal realism rule (i.e, I'll rarely commit more than 1,000,000 men to a war now, and only will I commit more if I truly need to)

ooc:Don't anybody take the chance and invade me, please..The Molot's the only division in the Carbandian armed forces at even remotely full strength..As the country's flagship division she had priority over the others when it came to being refitted..I'm mostly in this to test some new stuff, help a ally (never a bad thing) and brush the dust of my rp skills.

OOC: Don't worry, I had planned to attack east toward you anyway, this just makes me feel good inside.

And... I use 5% of my population in the military, and then I have only one out of every seven as a combat soldier. That leaves roughly 32,000,000 front-line soldiers. I worked it out, and I require about 9,000,000 in my navy, and then a few thousand pilots, and that leaves twenty-two million front line army soldiers and one million special operations men, or Orthae. I prefer not to bring more than half of my military out of the country, but I can if I have to becuase my government hires annually quite a few foreign mercenaries from an allied country to act as extra garrisoning troops.

That leaves 1,100 army divisions of 20,000 soldiers each and fifty Orthae divisions of 20,000 each.

I've taken to fully training 1% of my 1.8 billion population (12 million including police and logistics)

Marines: 2 million (thee guys also operate our small navy)
Army: 6 million (Air/Landlubbers all the way, controls most of the Air arm)
Police: 4 million

About 1200 divisions excluding police

Of this I've only sent (quick guess) 3 divisions into action, with another 20 sitting around deploying in FB cluster to defend my bases.

To make up for a lack of manpower, we trained and equiped about 80 divisions of Chitzis.

You've got your own personal 69 million to take care of.

My 250,000 are more like some locally trained foriegn legion troops Used expressly for the defense of Chitzeland, and are mostly concerned with getting experiance, paychecks for logistics jobs, and helping to train more Chitzis for you.

Could you return command of at least 60% of the forces back to my command? As I only have a few thousand men from the military left (those who've not died yet)

That way, you maintain your Foreign Legion (which I want back once the war's over ;)) and I have an army. Fair deal?

Oh! I didn't know I had that many troops. I thought you were referring to Wanderjar's military strength. I thought that Chitzeland's military would have been alot less than that.

Greetings ally! In the battleground of Chitzeland, we must request your aid. The Parthians is rapidly advancing on our men, and we must drive them out!

Send as many troops as you can, and we'll drive the buggers out of here for good!

OOC: Where and how many? You could send a personal, IC transmission asking for my involvement...

OOC: The Parthians are fighting a ground war around Pelsogrod against PROHT, Zanksi terrorists, Black Hand terrorists, Chitzi militias, and Leafistani Mafioso, and winning. I am looking aggressive over in the eastern bit, and now Wanderjar is sending in their "peacekeepers" in the area it is widely believed to have been claimed by me. Some other small nations and mercenaries are coming in with Wanderjar, but they don't concern me.

The Parthians (and myself, but it is less commonly known) have death camps set up in already claimed territory because occupying a hostile populace sucks.

That’s the situation.

OOC: By Division, how do you mean? That is relative, since there are multiple ways to use that term. I'm assuming you mean about 10,000 men, as that is the standard German Division, which the US uses as well. The UK's is different, though, but I'm not sure of their standard strength, as I'm not from England ;)

I may be small, but what's coming is good quality..They're just untested in warfare, so far..and for the record: I'm not here to make enemies, at least not ooc..Lets focus on having as much fun as possible, agreed?

oh and Molot should have been at 10k troops, split 60/40 between combatants and non combatants, but it's severly short of the latter, and operating at around 95% of it's combatant strength, so it comes out at around 5800 troops, total (counting engineers and vehicle crews (and yes, the former were counted in the infantry number, as they are fully combat trained))

OOC: My division = 20,000 soldiers. Let's keep this IC for a while, okay? This thread did have an OOC thread (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=477870), I suggest we bring it back to life.

The Wanderjarian Army was set to assist the Shetterdan defenders. DMG Mercenaries, reinforcing the Armored Division, prepared to attack the Parthian invaders, while the 2nd Mechanized division along with the 1st DMG Division moved close behind.



*As New Chitzeland now*


The Chitzeland 1st Army was closing in on Shetterdan as well. Over two million men were going to reinforce the defenders, who had long sence had little contact with the Government. They also were pleasently surprised that the Wanderjarians were here, and while the Wanderjarians would strike from the East, the North would be attacked by the Chitzis.

OOC: I've really gotten out of touch with this RP, so...
IC:


After hours of debate, the decision was made: Irish forces would be sent back into Chitzeland. While the main combat force, The Black Flag Army, (100,000 regulars), and KFL XX, (200,000 light infantry) was prepared for transit to Chitzeland, an advance force was sent: the 121st Ranger Regiment, a force of 5,000 elite soldiers. At night, 100 VTOLT-1s took off, carrying the soldiers to battle

After days of waiting and hearing rumors, the orders were in: the 121st was going to Chitzeland.
Private Emma Walsh sighed as she packed up here gear in the barracks. She was a fresh recruit, this was the first time she'd see real combat. (OOC: Not actually true, she's seen combat in a lot of wars... and the Hunted RP... but, hey)
Needless to say, she was nervous. As her platoon stomped out of their barracks and onto the muster field outside Limerick City, she felt like she was going to hurl. Her Captain, Jackson Murphy, yelled at her to "get the lead out" and she realised she was falling behind. She jogged for a second to catch up, and fell back into line.
"Sorry, sir!"
After what felt like an hour of standing around, her platoon was finally packed into their transport. In the darkness of the transport hold, the soldiers leaned against the hull or each other, and waited for the transport to reach their destination.

Hours later, the transport fleet came into Chitzelandi airspace. The lead pilot got on the radio... "To any Wanderjaran forces in the area... can we get a landing zone?"

The small fleet of transports shuddered down to the earth, and the soldiers disembarked. Colonel Ryan O'Crommel got on the radio, searching for any local friendlies for orders.

Emma Walsh blinked as she stepped into the light of the beach area... She was busy the next few hours, unloading transports and setting up mobile defenses.

RE:


However unusual this is, your forces will be welcome. I have heard there is oil in Chitzeland's coast line, which I'm sure the Directorate would be more than happy to sell you. Send as many troops as you can spare, however, as this Cold War between me and Pudu is not levelling off, and the Parthians is still ravaging in the East, and needs to be dealt with.


Thank you for your support, and we hope this is the beginning of less hostile relations.

No Problem, Hataria isn't someone I take seriously anymore, after all I pulled the same thing by offering a reward for the capture of the Empress.

No I'm against Parthia and Pudu here. Parthia because The Lone Alliance helps to Fund the Black Hand, and Parthia tried to destroy them.
And Pudu, Because I saw it as a challenge I guess.

North Sea port of Yuri, Four o'clock AM, Pudite Surprise Attack

The Task Force had entered the North Sea two or three hours ago, but they had spent that time moving steadily toward the port of Accen, but now it was changing direction and moving at just above 35 knots toward Yuri. The fleet consisted of three Roydia class battleships, the Fear, the Justicar, and the Lightbringer, two Tye Verna class fleet carriers, four Helina class battlecruisers, seven Carthage class air defense cruisers, ten Portlandia class missile cruisers, thirteen Swiftsure class destroyers, six Adaria class air defense destroyers, and fifteen Grevant class missile frigates. Accompanying this fleet were sixty Shrike class amphibious assault ships, who would carry a total of four divisions into the fray immediately. Also moving with this fleet were the four attack submarine squadrons, who, save for a single squadron, had abandoned the fleet to begin to reinforce patrol routes that were damaged by the Black Hand attacks of the day before.

But before the fleet could do anything, it was the land forces turn. Over recent days the 42nd division battalion surrounding Yuri had noticed increased activity in a small airport along the coast, which had been overlooked by Pudite planners. But this operation was already to far advanced to make changes now. The only option was to call for an air strike for after the assault on Yuri had begun. The airfield would have to wait.

The 104th Battalion, the 42nd's presence in Yuri, were to begin the attack on the city from the shore, and so they did. Commanders still did not know what Wanderjarian and foreign forces amounted to in the city, and so a definite strategy was not available, but a rough idea had been sketched out. Eight hundred or so light infantry would advance as close as they could to the city, infiltrating if possible, and once they had taken up idea positions they would begin the attack, sniping commanders, grenading supply depots, and generally sowing confusion in the ranks. Once their presence was detected, each and every man would keep as best cover as he can, and shoot until he was dead. The 42nd was famous in the Dominion for the individual high quality of their soldiers, and now the 104th Battalion had a chance to prove it. Once the fight was joined, the two-hundred remaining Battalion soldiers would sweep in, mounted on UAZs and Humvees. These mobile soldiers would move up and down the streets surrounding the firefights, firing 40mm grenades, 12.5mm machine guns, or TOW anti-armor missiles into whatever seems appropriate at the time.

At the precise time the 104ths attacks were supposed to begin, the air strikes would begin as well, with thirty-five F-225A Stealth Bombers that were launched from airfields in the center of legal East Chitziland and would begin dropping bombs as soon as the 104th moved into the city. Each F-225A could carry ten-thousand pounds of laser-guided bombs, which would be dropped on pre-determined locations of suspected troop concentrations, based on analysis of satellite photographs. To counter any airborne threat that may be encountered during the attack, the bombers were also armed with six smaller air-to-air missiles. Now, when the bomber fleet was approaching, it would be protected by various stealth features, including a 99.9% invisibility to radar, radar absorbing paint, an advanced heat-dampening system protecting detection of it's twin engines be dispersing the heat across the plane structure, and then pumping the aircraft's coolant across the area to mask the dispersing heat. Another feature the F-225A has is that it's unique design reduces the amount of turbulence produced by a wake, leaving it undetectable by Doppler radar systems unless nearly directly over the system. Visual sighting would be extremely difficult as well, as the exhaust and engines ports do not permit for light to escape. All this meant was that, until the bombers were right on top of the Wanderjarian forces, radar and conventional detection methods would not be able to detect them. These stealth bombers would make five runs tonight before they would run the risk of hitting the assaulting marine divisions.

Also timed to begin as soon as the bombing and land assault, is a missile and large gun assault fired from sea by the Pudite fleet nearing the city. Over four-thousand missiles would be fired in a series of three volleys, with an explosive force surpassing three million pounds. In addition the Roydia and Helina class ships' large guns would begin a heavy shore bombardment mission, which would propel a further twenty-six massive rounds filled of high explosive and again totaling well over five thousand pounds of high explosive in every volley. These gun rounds were aimed at destroying any kind of fortification or static defense visible along the coast, and failing that, they would begin firing against simple and average buildings and obvious sea-side troop concentrations. These would continue for until the second the marines landed.

This landing would involve two waves, each of over thirty assault ships. Each wave would deliver two full divisions of troops into combat, supported by a limited number of vehicles. The first wave would be a force of forty thousand elite Pudite Orthae marines, supported by four-hundred ST-37K1 heavy main battle tanks and two-hundred SIV-25 infantry fighting vehicles. The marines would leave the assault ships behind the armored vehicles also transported in their craft, using them as cover and surprising fire until they reached the buildings, where Pudite house to house fighting would ensue. This, of course, referred to the Pudite doctrine of not putting up with deadly and confusing street fighting, and simply leveling any suspicious building through fast and reliable communication both with their air and naval supporters, would them proceed to level said questionable building through careful appliance of two thousand bombs or few hundred pounds of missile.

The second wave would consists of forty thousand normal men of two basic Infantry divisions. They would be accompanied by another four hundred ST-37K1 tanks, a further two-hundred SIV-25 infantry fighting vehicles, two hundred towed GA-6 light 105mm anti-tank guns to aid in the destruction of the concentration of tanks rumored to be in the city.

And finally, after the main, land, air, and sea assault had begun on Yuri, another attack would be unleashed against the small, here to fore undetected, or at least un remembered, airfield roughly halfway between Yuri and Accen. Another ten F-225A Stealth Bombers were hastily scrambled and would begin pounding the airstrip and any troops there for the next few hours. Here, four runs would be committed, again with each plane armed with ten thousand pounds of bombs and eight air-to-air missiles. Although this was a secondary objective of this morning's assault, it was none the less an important attack, and if the air attack failed to demolish the transport capacity of the airfield there were reserve divisions awaiting deployment only a few miles away in Accen.

The attack had begun... again...



The Day before, North Sea, Submarine Combat
Finally, the battle was won. All that was left was to hunt down and destroy what remained. Already one submarine had escaped, but the other surviving craft was limping away and was easy prey for a Pudite attack. Two of the remaining submarines began a pursuit of the surfaced sub, while the remainder of the squadrons survivors were returning to the port at Locke, where they would undergo whatever repairs were necessary and would take on enough munitions to replace what was used up. In a few days, these remaining few would be ready for service again.

All in all, the Pudite Forthar class fleet in the area had been reduced from thirty submarines, to only twenty-three after repairs were finished. But, of course, reinforcements were due for the very next day, so commanders were not overly worried. Patrols would begin again as soon as the sixty new arrivals were here, still in groups of three across the North Sea and the coast of the northern swamp.

"PAPA BEAR, THIS IS GHOUL-6," The GSG-9 operator said, eyeing the oncoming infantry. "PUDUITE INFANTRY INBOUND." The GSG-9 Kilo team, running a usual reconnaisance run on the Puduite border, saw them advancing across the border.


"GOOD JOB GHOUL-6, WE WILL BE READY. STRENGHT ESTIMATE?"


"800 TO 1,000 LIGHT INFANTRY, NO ARMOR."


"GOOD WORK, RTB. OUT."


The Wanderjarian Army was scrambled, as was the foreign troops. Defensive positions were manned. Anti-Aircraft artillery systems were fully activated, as were anti-missle systems. When the missles came in, only have managed to get through. Those that did struck some arms depots, and a few un manned tanks, killing almost 1,500 support personnel, and a few unlucky aircraft. However, the line infantry had already been scrambled, and the Wanderjarian Airforce took to the skies, searching for the inevitable bomber squadrons which would be coming.


Behemoth III Super Heavy Battle Tanks, fresh from the assembly lines, rolled onto the fields, ready to engage enemy forces. 100 of these moving fortresses had been deployed thus far, and were moving in support of another three hundred K-1 MBTs from the 7th Armored Cavalry.

The Wanderjarian Marine Corps, based at Zarzor, heard of the attacks, and one full MEU saddled up and moved out to reinforce the airfield. Meanwhile, the Army hurled artillery at the infantry's pinpointed location. Over 1,500 guns fired repeatedly at the advancing troops.


The 2nd Motorized Infantry had arrived, deploying over 20,000 infantry men into the Wanderjarian Lines, as well as 400 BMP3s. The Flaming Darts Penal Legion, 2,500 armed convicts, arrived with the 3rd Marine Corps MEU, and moved onto the Wanderjarian lines as well. If the Puduites wanted a fight, they sure as hell were about to get one.


*As New Chitzeland*

The Chitzis 2nd Army, with over 4 million men and armored vehicles, moved from Providence to support the returning Coalition. They would arrive within three to four hours.


(The new missle defense system unloads one million bullets at a specific target in about one second. It is currently under development and should be released in the United States Military in a couple years)

14 F-99 Fighters from the 16th Fighter wing patrolled the skies around Coalition territory. With visual contact on Puduite aircraft, they immediatley engaged with ATA missles, while reporting their incoming. Gepard's immediatley readied themselves for the enemy, and prepared their stinger missles and quad-gun turrets.

The 121st Regiment is force marching north to reinforce the line where Pudu is striking.

The first elements of the Chitzeland Expeditionary Army are landing at the airfield. Deployment will be completed later today.

OOC: Soryy, don't have much to post...

Several black helicopter left a discreet cargo ship, and flew over Wanderjarian territory.

"This is Shadow Transports Five, Eleven, and Twenty-nine requesting permission to land, over." Came the message.
***
Inside were Shadow Teams One, Two, and Five, each consisting of thirteen Shadowmen.

Shadow-One One checked his equipment, scanning the terrain and taking into account the climate he would be fighting in. "Pudu," he whispered. "Never pulled anything like this before, now, have we?" He asked Shadow-Two.

Shadow-Two shook her head. "Pudu's a new league, that he is. What're the mission parameters?"

"First, we're to get intel from Wanderjarian headquarters. Then we move towards the Puudite base they point us at. Objective is to cause as much havoc as possible to soften it up for a Wanderjaran attack."

The whole team grinned. Not for nothing was Shadow Team One codenamed 'Havoc Team'.

OOC: Just a reference, the Shadowmen are divided up into Teams, with each team being one through thirteen. So Shadow-One from team one would really be Shadow-One One whereas the Shadow One from Shadow Team Two would be Shadow-One Two, but they know who they are, so I usually don't bother with that.

North Sea port of Yuri, Four o'clock AM, Pudite Surprise Attack

The Task Force had entered the North Sea two or three hours ago, but they had spent that time moving steadily toward the port of Accen, but now it was changing direction and moving at just above 35 knots toward Yuri. The fleet consisted of three Roydia class battleships, the Fear, the Justicar, and the Lightbringer, two Tye Verna class fleet carriers, four Helina class battlecruisers, seven Carthage class air defense cruisers, ten Portlandia class missile cruisers, thirteen Swiftsure class destroyers, six Adaria class air defense destroyers, and fifteen Grevant class missile frigates. Accompanying this fleet were sixty Shrike class amphibious assault ships, who would carry a total of four divisions into the fray immediately. Also moving with this fleet were the four attack submarine squadrons, who, save for a single squadron, had abandoned the fleet to begin to reinforce patrol routes that were damaged by the Black Hand attacks of the day before.

But before the fleet could do anything, it was the land forces turn. Over recent days the 42nd division battalion surrounding Yuri had noticed increased activity in a small airport along the coast, which had been overlooked by Pudite planners. But this operation was already to far advanced to make changes now. The only option was to call for an air strike for after the assault on Yuri had begun. The airfield would have to wait.

The 104th Battalion, the 42nd's presence in Yuri, were to begin the attack on the city from the shore, and so they did. Commanders still did not know what Wanderjarian and foreign forces amounted to in the city, and so a definite strategy was not available, but a rough idea had been sketched out. Eight hundred or so light infantry would advance as close as they could to the city, infiltrating if possible, and once they had taken up idea positions they would begin the attack, sniping commanders, grenading supply depots, and generally sowing confusion in the ranks.

Do Not go into Zanx territory, or your ships will suffer the wrath of the Zanx Foriegn Defensive Army.

An offensive is being planned to march half a million soldiers into Meord to discuss with the RD (hello wanderjar) whether it would be ok to claim the city as Zanski territory, as the Zanx Northern Chitzeland Territory (ZNCT) does not own any cities.
The following will be offered:
* Defense from the Pudite & Parthian forces
*The building of new homes & roads
*Efforts to make trade fairer
* around 4 Zanx Universities will be built (UniZanx)

The soldiers started their march today. although they carry guns, this is to protect them from Pudite/Parthian forces.

The Zanx Armed Terrorist Army has been flown in to help fight the Pudites and Parthians.
One million more troops have been flown in to defend the ZNCT/PECT(Pudite Eastern Chitzeland Territory) Border.

OOC: Wanderjar, I am backing you in the fight against Parthia.

RE:


My airstrip will take you. After the assault is over, I'm building a second one to provide for everyone. But you'll have to scramble those fighters, since he's launched an assault.


OOC: Thanks Zanski, I appreciate it. By the way, as far as the Zanski territory goes, as long as New Chitzeland has government authority, I'm fine with that. If you want to base yourself here, go ahead, I'm perfectly fine with that. I just want Chitzeland to have a strong government over the area. So if you're wanting base rights, and want to establish a foreign legion office, fine :). But allow the Government of New Chitzeland to have government control. We can negotiate further after the war, and I'm sure we'll both come to a nice agreement, as I'm a very reasonable guy)

IC:


The Wanderjarian ground Commander, General Edmond Reinhardt, shook the hands of each of the Shadowmen when they arrived.

"Glad to see you boys here." He said with a wide smile. "Alright, lets get down to buisness. The Puduite HQ is near the docks in the city of Locke," He said, pointing to the city on a map. "During the first war, our special forces bombed this building several times, and once missled it with a fighter. This place, the entire city infact, is unbelievably well protected. But this is where all their equipment is brought it, and staged from. If you want to cause some havoc, as is your namesake, this is the place to do it."

"The hard part is going to be getting there." Said Shadow One-One. "I don't imagine they'll let us just walk in. Once we get in, if the city is in that bad shape, causing havoc should be easy enough. Have you got any stealth planes that could airdrop us in?"

"The hard part is going to be getting there." Said Shadow One-One. "I don't imagine they'll let us just walk in. Once we get in, if the city is in that bad shape, causing havoc should be easy enough. Have you got any stealth planes that could airdrop us in?"

"Lamentably, no. My advice would be to move through Coalition territory, through the Northern Swamps, then move south again into the city. That area is less guarded, and there is the cover of a forest, and a large hill, where my GSG-9 used to operate...and torment his forces." He added with an evil grin.

"That, sounds like a plan."

OOC: I don't feel like digging through forty-odd pages, so have you got a map?

OOC: Let's do the time warp again!

IC: The Shadowmen waited about five hundred yards away from the edge of Pudite controlled territory. Shadow-One studied through field glasses, trying to pick out any patrols or hard points that might spot the Shadowmen if they tried to cross over the border here.

OOC: Can't really do any more until I know what's there, so I'll wait for the Emperor.

Darkness surrounded the fleet as Task Force Three cut through the waves of the Chitzi sea, appearing as nothing more than dark shapes with glistening lights against the black sky. TF3 was made up of three battle groups worth of ships, and countless landing ships, along with a special escort force of six Unity-class carriers. They were running along silently, the Triton-class superdreadnought Opulence at the forefront, her slender, stealthy figure slicing through the waves like a dagger.

"Admiral on deck!", a crewman shouted as a man in white walked into the well lit tiered bridge of the Opulence, standing at the railing above the crew pits.
"As you were.", he said matter-of-factly, taking in the sights as the ship rocked slightly from the calm ocean. "Contact the local coalition forces. Inform them we're here to render assistance."
"Aye, sir."

Attention all coalition forces, this is the INS Opulence, here to render assistance. We have a force of about 300,000 troops not including logistics support, ready to land at a moment's notice. Tell us when and where, and we're ready to assist.

Smiling, General Edmond said over his radio, "Glad to see you Craven boys here. Pull in at Zarzor, as the water ways around Yuri are hostile. Bring your men up to my airfield outside of Yuri though, thats where those bastards are making their assault."

OOC:
I hope no one minds this. The only way to transport a massive ammount of troops for me is via my orbial ships. Don't worry though, there will be no 'OMG OR8ITAL B0M8ARDM3NT OF D00M!' or anything like that. Just troops dropping into the area out of the sky via drop pods and sub-orbital ships.

SECRET IC:
SCENE: Shazbotdom Military Command
General Teod looked around the command room. It's been a long day and he was sick and tired of looking over image after image of satelite imagry that was being pumped out of the five spy satelites in orbit over Chitzeland. The military was already at DEFCON 2 over another situation so Theod could call up enough forces to help the Coalition in this situation. He orders the MSF Dignity into a geocyncranis orbit above the Nation of Chitzeland to monitor the siutation further but he hadn't heard any updates from them since they are in transit.


SCNE: MSF Dignity (In Orbit)
Captain Honeycut was standing at the very front of the bridge, looking out into the vastness of space as he spotted the five satelites that were ordered to the area two days ago. He turned around and nodded at the Communications Office, who then punched up a few buttons.

Honeycut: "This is the Dignity calling Command. Come in Command."

Theod: "I was wonding when you'd get there. Any updates?"

Honeycut: "No sir. Were going to start our sensor sweeps here shortly to see what the situation is at this moment. I've called up the MSF Blagraland and she is on her way to this area with her fighter wings. I am also putting my marine forces on the ship on high aleart, ready for imediate deployment in case we need to go down there."

Theod: "Understood. Keep me informed to any developments."

Honeycut: "Understood. Dignity Out."

The airfield, 19:00 hours, local time (sorry about it taking so long, guys)
General Pavel Ridzik (the divisional commander) was ancios, but he would never admit it to a subordinate. Molot hadn't seen any real service since the liberation war, and while everyone was fully qualified to use the new equipment, this was the first time they were going to use it in actual combat.

His adjutant walked up and saluted "All troops ready, and accounted for, sir!"

"Deploy by regiment, and let's see where our allies want us."

"Sir!" replied the younger officer, sprinting toward's the division's command Merkúr, followed, at a more measured pace, by Ridzik himself.

Arriving at the command tank, Ridzik opened a frequency to their Wanderjarian allies "Molot reporting. We are ready to roll. Where do you want us?"

(edited slightly so it isnt as much of a jumble)

OOC:
Damn unwanted Regional Adverts...

Emperor Baker, for the first time in some while, was not tormented by memories of his defeat at Chitzeland. He felt he truly had a chance at defeating Pudu and Parthians this time around.

"By God," he said, "I will not let these people be slaves."

ooc: bumping while waiting for Wanderjar to reply to my post..

The Griffincrest forces finally began landing in the Wanderjarian airbase. The men unloaded out of the planes quickly, and began helping to unload the heavier equipment. Overhead, the Gnats buzzed around doing whatever it was that they do, and the Tu-22's were waiting for permission to land once the transport planes got off the runway.

A mercenary stepped up to the Wanderjarian men he saw. He was about 6'0, and had thinning silver hair, gray eyes, and his right eye had a long scar over it. He approached the first guard. "Where is your commander?" he asked in a harsh voice. He did not like Wanderjarians much, and eyed the guard with distaste.

ooc: bumping while waiting for Wanderjar to reply to my post..


OOC: Carbandia, RP your forces establishing a perimeter around the airfield, as thats where we need to defend right now. As far as an offensive against Pudu goes, after we drive him back, my Chitzis Armies will push into Locke with over 20 million troops, and will overwhelm him.


The Guard, who had been with the 7th Cavalry at Four Corners, was not a fan of Griffincrest Mercenaries either.

"You'll find Edmond at the Head Quarters Tent. Its about three tent rows down from here. Its the big one with machine guns outside and such."

ooc: will do.

Ridzik listened to the radio, before opening a channel to the division. "Ok, boys and girls, time to do this for real. Deploy each regiment in turn in a semi line, but close enough to be mutually supportive, to the north (ooc: assume this is where the other guys are coming from, if it isnt, then please tell me so, and I'll edit) of the airfield."

As the division moved out, splitting into it's respective regiments, each soldier wondered how well they would perform. The division had aced all the war games it had taken part in, in fact had torn it's sister division apart in the last one, but this was different, this was actual war, and no matter how well one trains soldiers, one can never really train them well enough to act automatically in real combat.

RE:

As I have said before, Wanderjarian HQ is on an Airfield currently about to be attacked by Puduite forces. Land your men at Zarzor, as the water ways to Yuri are under firm control of Puduite forces. From Zarzor, head to Yuri and you will find my airfield.

Cravanian forces landed, and began to make their way north to the Wanderjarian-held airfield.

INS Sanctuary
Unity-class Aircraft Carrier

"Orders from the Opulence. Begin sorties over the country immediately."

A man in a khaki uniform turned from his position on the bridge, and looked at the orders which had been given to him.

"Well let's not keep them waiting. Launch the first sortie now."
"Aye, sir."

Just over a half-hour later, the first sortie was loaded and away, with Cravanian F-80 Phoenix air superiority fighters streaking through the darkness of the night sky. Cravanian men on the battlefield looked to the skies in awe as the planes roared overhead, their afterburners visible in the seemingly endless black of night.

Wanderjarian Airfield

The Cravanian ground forces had moved for some time, making speed towards the airfield. Gradually, platoons began to appear at the perimeter, cautiously walking along. A caravan of HMMWVs approached the gate, their M240b machine gunners scanning the horizon for threats. The lead Humvee arrived at the gate, and the front-seat passenger stepped out and walked to the guards. He snapped to attention, and delivered a crisp salute.

"Staff Sergeant Wallace P. Jackson, requesting permission for General Ferguson to enter the base."
