OOC: Anyone can play the defenders so long as the island I'm attacking isn't their mainland...

IC:
The boats were in position. There was not only one fleet off the shore of this island, there were six. They were all gray but the one thing that distinguished them from all other ships was the CFF flag that was painted on each side. There were nearly two hundred carriers. Over all there were nearly three thousand five hundred ships off the shore of this particular island.

High Admiral B. Henderson himself was heading the assult. A seaman came into his pesonal quartes on board the CFV Pearse FS. He had a satilite phone with him. "Sir," He started, "The Supreme Admiral is on the line for you." Henderson took a deep breath and then the phone, "Sir, Henderson here, orders?" The High Admiral listened to his superior intently.

Minutes after the call, hundreds of Multi-role fighters took off towards a hostile base along the coast. Once in range they fired off numerous napalm based missiles at anything and everything. Several had been shot down by the time the last of the planes made it back to their carriers.

A few minutes after that, six hundred landing craft headed towards shore along with thousands of RIBs. They were escorted by the remaining fighters and the beach was being bombarded by shells from the Battleships that were present. One the landingcraft and the RIBs came close to shore, however, the shelling stopped.

just a quick bump...

Spartan KH-6 Series 'Vagabond' series observation satellites watched the shelling and island rape. While 'Fort St. Conrad' HQ for the digital media stream egineers and commanding officers talked amoungst them selves deciding the next course of action. Though of course the satellite was forced to go into Geo-Syncronis orbit to see the next bit of unfolding action.

The RIBs and other landing craft hit shore. They unloaded quickly and the men aboard were surprised at the absence of any hostiles. Quickly, however, they set up a perimeter. Construction crews quickly worked on building an airfeild as well as several other structures. The large fleet of ships moved closer to shore.

OOC: If I rp the defenders will this war reach my mainland?

If you want it to...

If you want it to...

OOC: We'll see how it goes.

IC: Commander Julio secured the earplugs. Though they meant he and his men communicated mostly through gestures, they were necessary for any artillerymen.

He didn't know who these men were that were landing on Aesonic ground, but the artillery barrage that had preceded their landing left no doubt that they came as invaders. Well, they were about to get a nasty surprise.

The first salvo was aimed at the airfield being built. Sattellites had given the location, meaning that the artillery could stay concealed behind a hill until the vital moment. Now, one hundred twenty inchers fired.

Meanwhile, behind a different hill, an equal amount of artillery was aiming at the boats. They fired as well.

Several of the ships were sunk and havoc was reaked upon the shore. A group one hundred Behemoth IIs went off in search of the attackers. Nearly thirty Recon planes launched from the Aircraft carriers. The CFV Pearse FS had not yet been hit but if the artillery kept coming than it was only a matter of time.

'There' one of the pilots of a recon plane thought as he saw a large group of artilery vehicles. He sent the location of the enemy back to the Pearse. Once they were recieved, the Pearse along with the remaining Battleships opened fire on their location.

"****!" Shouted Julio as shells started crashing down. "All right, men, one more salvo, and then we pull back!"

The large guns fired off again, and then started pulling back. Most of them were already mounted on trucks, and the rest were towed behind. In addition, they were escorted by several AA trucks, to avoid any attacks on the column.

Meanwhile, the other artillery group opened fire on the ships again, despite this making it almost certain that they too would be attacked.

Julio judged that he and his men were now far enough away from the original sight. He leapt out of the truck, and swore again as a rock sliced up through his shoe. His crew had to be the last in the army to get those new battlesuits. Ignoring the pain, he started shouting orders for his men to attack the fleet again. Nine of the artillery pieces had been destroyed in the enemy reprisal, but it was still a formidable salvo.

OOC: Bump.

Both of the groups were hit again. The remaing naval forces fell back. The CFV Pearse FS had been 'grazed' by on of the incoming shells so it moved to the back of the group in hopes of doing some small repairs. Four High Altitude Bombers (HAB)-91 Desolators took off from two modified aircraft carriers. Two headed for an artillery group that had rather stupidly revealed it's location by attacking the navy. The other two circled just off shore. They were waiting for one of the Recon planes to report a new siting. It came in. They also flew off into the distance until they were just above the group. "Permission to launch?" The pilots asked their CO over the intercom. "Granted," He told all four of them at the same time. Within seconds all of the HAB-91 Desolators opened their weapons bays and dropped 20 Smart Bombs each.

Also if anyone else wants to join than go ahead...

The AA guns opened up as soon as the planes went overhead. The artillery kept pulling back. Meanwhile, thirty Valkyrie fighters and various bombers were moved to within striking distance of the beach. In addition a message went out from the Aesonic Homeland.

OOC: Gah. No. It's domestically produced, and this island isn't really a priority so, figure US standard stuff.

Just askin because when these things are flying at 87,500 ft, its gonna take some pretty advanced AA to take em down...

OOC: Kay, I just didn't want to look like an asshole if I just said that you missed.

IC: The bombers started heading back. All of them had somehow managed to come out relatively fine. One of them picked up some radar contacts from what seemed to be incoming aircraft. "CFV Emmet, this is Alpha Two, I've got some charlies en route to the beach postition, please advise," the pilot called in. The Emmet replied, "Alpha Two this is CFV Emmet, Stay clear, we're sending up some Campeóns and Guardians, see you back aboard."

Within seconds, twenty ASF/I-17 Campeóns as well as another thirty E-09 Guardians took off from the flight decks of various Aircraft carriers.

OOC: These planes are also on the page I posted earlier.

OOC: Is it okay if I use satellite weaponry here? Specifically the solar flare class orbital mirrors, which can be found here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=470811&highlight=American+Privateer)? Some people consider this stuff MT, others PMT...

I see it as more PMT than MT, but I'll make a deal. Since may grow larger, you can use for solar power and the likes, sound good?

OOC: No frying you from orbit? How about the Ospreys? They pretty much work on the principal of 'drop something heavy on them'. But they can only really be used on large targets. A fixed installation such as an airport would make a good target, as would a huge column of troops, if you moved them about that way. A superdreadnought too.

It doesn't sound as accurate as you say, is seems that it mostly works like a Nuke in that it doesn't have to hit dirctly to do tons of damage...

OOC: Well, perhaps not super-dreadnoughts, depending on how big they are. But yeah, a direct hit not necessary. So, what say you?

IC: Two carriers were moved to the opposite side of the island. Each carried an equal number of fighters and bombers.

Hmmm... I consider that stuff PMT, but I feel bad saying no because of the Techicality you let me off on earlier...

OOC: Let's make a deal. No satellite weaponry as long as the conflict stays on this island. If it reaches my homeland, though, I can use them. Sound good? This is The Aeson, incidentally. I'm just too lazy...

Alt account?

If so than sure...

Julio's artillery had pulled back up towards the enemy beachhead, and began pummeling it again. To avoid reprucussions they moved again, this time into along a road into a dense forest to avoid being spotted by aerial reconassaince.

General Emmet Greene cursed as the shells hit his area. "All units," He said into his radio, "We are heading to our 9. Watch your backs. Just after saying this a shell hit him directly. His body was ripped to shreads. The army, however, continued on their movement. Soon they were on the side of a hill. Brigideir General Ian McCafferty took command. He called on his radio, "Send out two platoons of Black Berets to our 9, 10, 11, 12, 1, 2, and our 3."

The Black Berets moved out. They had their combution bows at the ready.

OOC: I'm going to interpret that as you're sending out special ops teams. Please tell me if I'm mistaken. Also, combution bows?

IC: Julio was idly tuning through radio channels in a half-hearted attempt to pick up the enemy's when he heard "Berets to our 9,10, 11, 12, 1, 2, and our 3."

"Sounds like they're calling out the special forces, boys. I want artillery pointed down each road, anti-personnel rounds. Everybody else, keep an eye on the woods."

OOC: Combustion bows are actually one of the few small arms my nation makes. They are basicly a bow and arrow set but the arrow heads are high explosives. They also haf a modified AK-105. It has special sites on it that are actually a camera that feeds video to an eyepeice attached to the helmet. They all carry Desert Eagles and Black widows as well. Black Widows are machettes with a hollow handle and a retractable syringe at the end of the handle. This can be used for lethal injections.

OOC: Weaponry understood.

One of the Berets spotted something not too far off in some trees. He zoomed in on the sites of his camera. He made a small hand gesture and the group leader army crawled over to him. Most of the Berets were on their stomaches. If they had to move faster they crouched but they rarely stood upright. "What is it?" The leader hissed. "Sir, I got a tango in the trees to our 11," the soldier whispered back. The leader called into his encrypted radio, "Teams Charlie and Echo, this is Delta. We've got some tangos to our eleven, peel off from your search and provide support." "Affermative," replied Echo leader. "Charlie you there?" Delta leader hissed into his radio.

Julio, no fool, had picked an area that was not promising for an ambush. There was relatively little undergrowth, due to the huge trees catching most of the sunlight. The tree trunks were large, but there was space between them. Julio had placed the trucks in a defensive ring, with the towed artillery on the inside. Truck mounted artillery aimed down both rodes, as well as being able to swivel to face any large force emerging from the forest.

Meanwhile, Julio's counterpart, Kang, had placed five pieces of artillery in a cave, while the rest pulled back, and now brought them out and fired a salvo towards the enemy beachhead.

Bump.

Charlie team saw some thing in a cave in the distance. "This is Charlie team, Hostiles spotted. Teams Delta and Beta, can you give us a hand?" There was no response. Carlie Leader looked over the transmitter. "Damn it," He said under his breath. The antena was missing. It must have been caught on something. He signaled to his men to split up. Half would move to Delta and half went towards Beta. Charlie Leader started falling back to base.

The Brigideir watched as the shells smash into the ground down the beach. He was glad that the General had ordered to move. He looked out to the ocean where he saw a single RIB heading towards shore. "Here comes the apocolypse," He said as it made it's landing and the Four Horsemen got off of it.

OOC: The Four Horsemen are my best Spec Ops...

Kang placed his artillery in the cave again. This was truly the ideal spot to hole up. All five cannons were brought to bear on the only entrance, which was large enough for a single truck to fit through. One of the artillery pieces was loaded with Armor Buster rounds.

(OOC: Armor piercing, with a delayed explosive designed to go off once it's pierced the armor)

The rest were loaded with anti-personnel rounds. The mountain the cave was in was solid. Nothing short of a full scale nuclear assault would budge it. The cave also went far enough back that the two supply trucks that accompanied them could also fit in.

The Four Horsemen had been breifed aboard the Pearse. They knew what was happening. The radios that the Black Berets were using also sent the messages back to the Pearse. They moved out to Delta's position. Once they got there they told the Berets that were there to fall back half way to base.

Once they were out of the way Matthew Crowley took out his D-7 Cobra Strike Sniper Rifle and took aim at the man in the distance. He could see that there were other firces ariund him but no kill shots were possible on any of the enemies except the one that had been spotted earlier. He place the man's head between his cross hairs and squeezed the trigger. The suppresser managed to kill both the sound and the flash.

OOC: In case this isn't made clear, they know the general direction due to the fact that in order to blow that part of his head off, they would have to be in such-and-such a direction.

Marcus crumpled, a large part of his head blown off. Firing more or less at random in the general direction the shot had come from, Julio shouted to his men that an attack was coming from the side. One of the cannons swiveled and fired a flak blast in the direction the shot had come from. Those not manning cannons crouched in the defensive circle created by the trucks.

By this point the other Horsemen had dropped to the ground as well. Crowley found another target, again he fired at the head. The others pulled out their assult rifles and prepared to cover Crowley.

The Berets were on a large hill overlooking the gunfight when the small fight started. Delta Leader was in charge of the five platoons present. "Everyone," called out, "Scatter and lend them some support." With that the two hundred and fifty men all moved in to small groups and moved out trying to stay as far from the other groups as possible. Once they were in position they opened fire on the areas of the forest where they though the enemy might be. Over two hundred explosive arrows were fired before the soldiers had to reload. In each group two soldiers stood ready with their assult rifles.

This time the sniper fire flew past the target's head. Julio swore and ducked. Then the explosive arrows started flying.

The artillery trucks were designed with the fuel tank being heavily armored, so that though fifty-two trucks were hit, most were repairibly damaged. Thirty-two of those still had their cannons working. Several of the trucks also had machine guns on them. Soon machine gun fire was being sprayed everywhere that fire errupted from.

OOC: So basicly you are firing on The Horsemen right? The Black Berets would be erupting fire...

OOC: So basicly you are firing on The Horsemen right? The Black Berets would be erupting fire...

OOC: I'm shooting at wherever I see gunfire coming from. As the Black Berets are using bows and arrows, yeah, that would probably be the Horsemen.

OOC: But the only Horseman that is firing is using an attachment on his rifle that cuts sound and flash immensly

(snip) He place the man's head between his cross hairs and squeezed the trigger. The suppresser managed to kill both the sound and the flash.

Check out DMG's sniper rifles for more info, the name is the same.

OOC: Okay, I'm just shooting randomly then.

'Damn it, I missed!' Crowley thought as the bullet flew past the man's head. The man was now out of the kill zone so Crowley went to another target and pulled the trigger again.

One of the Berets got an idea. Quickly, he pulled out one of his napalm grenades and lobbed it into the forest as the rest of his group launched their arrows.

The napalm bomb destroyed a number of trucks and artillery pieces.

"Pull out! Pull everything that can still move out!"

The trucks began moving.
***

The ninety-five cannons that Kang hadn't placed in the cave had circled around and were attacking the enemy beachhead yet again, this time from the north.

The grenade had unsurprisingly started a fire in the forest. Seeing this several other Berets started to throw their napalm grenades into the forest as well.

Crowley could tell that they were on the move. He signaled to his men who signaled to the Berets. Half of the Berets kept up firing their arrows as well as the arrows of the comrades. The rest pulled out their AK-105s and went in search of places to ambush the moving enemy. Crolwey fired one more shot. This time it was at the man who he had missed earlier.

***
Once again the Brigideir laughed at the enemy's mistake. He called the Pearse on a secure line, "Pearse, this is Brigideir McCafferty, I need some recon planes to our three." No verbal reply was given but ten recon planes flew off the flight decks of some of the aircraft carriers.

Having moved to a different position, the artillery again bombarded the beachhead.

Then came the order they had been waiting for.

"Scatter."

The artillery split up, moving in groups of three. Every so often, they would stop and bombard the enemy. Whenever they weren't firing, they continued moving, changing directions at random.
***
Meanwhile, in New Aesonia, the first major city threatened by the enemy, preperations were being made. Tanks were concealed behind fences and in garages. A number of large roadblocks were set up. In addition, civilians who were unwilling or unable to fight were evacuated. The rest of the civilians were armed.

OOC: Can you post your losses so far?

bump while I wait for Drexel to come back online.

And another bump.

OOC: As per your suggestion, I've made a very crude map, that will probably be further developed later on. It's here (http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/7355/untitled8bp.png).

The city the road leads to is New Aesonia.

The city in the mountain is the only place where there are natives. No other natives were found, and as of this time, both the natives of the Aesonics leave each other alone.

OOC: Look, I have a thought. If you're not willing/able to continue this RP at the moment, can we put it in temporary stasis? As in, we can pick up later from where we left off, but it won't affect us in the meanwhile? I only ask because moving my troops to counter the invasion is putting a cramp in how I RP in other RPs.
