Recently, the Prime ministers palace was bombed by New Felucan forces. They palace collpase, killing everyone inside. Rescue workers were sent in to see if they could find the Prime Minster and his family. They discovered them horribly slaughtered by the bombing. Not only did the Prime Minister and his wife both die, but their 2 sons and their daughter died too. All of them were below the age of 10. Houses were also crushed by falling and flying parts of the bombed palace. There was no time for an election, so general Luciano De Nezza was set as the military Prime Minister. He organized a speach in the market square of Karkand for the whole of Kubra.

"My fellow brethren", he said into the microphone hooked up to a large sound system. "Recently, our beloved Prime minister and his family were mercilessly slaughtered in a bombing carried out by New Feluca." There was large outbreak of gasping an even some cries of rage. "We suspect their actions were due to the new anti-mime laws enacted", he continued. "They killed hundreds of innocent people including children, and for what? Do make us remove a law that improves our country? Kubrans, will you stand for this"?

"no", the cry began."no, no, no", they chanted.

"I hear no", Luciano said loudly. " Well make your guns match your words". He shoute his quite loudly. "They have insulted us, killed our citizens, and robbed us of our dignity in this unprovoked attack. As Kubrans, should we allow this to go unpunished"?

"No", the cry came up even louder.

"Then punish them!" He cried. "With every bullet fired, with every shell launched, with every attack we lay on them we will punish them! With every Kubran who is killed, we will return it to them tenfolds! Do not let them disgrace you, fight with al your heart and take no prisoners! Do not disgrace yourself and become prisoners. If you are overrun and cannot retreat, fight with all your heart"!

"To battle", the new chant came up.

"We will have no cowards, people who fear battle", He said still more loudly. "We will be conscripting soldiers for battle, for Kubra!"

With that, people flocked to the military bases. Evne those who were too old to fight played a part. They signed for jobs as orderlies, codebreakers, and other such jobs. Children got jobs delievering supplies to military offices and soldiers in training excercises. Everyone was contributing to the war effort.

General Dmitri sat with his staff at a bunker in Central Command. On a large television screen at one end of the room was a news feed from Kubra, with the speech and all.

A grizzled looking bear anthro wearing the insignia of a Colonel grunted, "That tears it. Looks like they want a bit of revenge. Nevermind the fact that their last leader was completely insane."

An Admiral spoke up, "Military threat?"

One Brigadier-Colonel gestured at a map on the wall, "Currently we're within striking of long-range bomber aircraft and IRMs. As to their capability, we're not sure. Kubra isn't exactly high on our list of intelligence targets."

The bear Colonel muttered. "I've got all of our coastal defenses on alert. Our new Starfall batteries are also on the lookout, and almost every major RADAR system in the country is searching the sky. I expect a naval assault, though. It's just too hard to paradrop soldiers in significant enough numbers to hold out for very long."

The Admiral nodded, "We thought the same over at Northport. I've got patrollers out searching the ocean, mostly screening. I suggest letting them land some military forces and establish a control zone on some lonely beach up north or something. Keep them penned in and slaughter them."

Heads were nodding. Still, various plans were in motion, mainly waiting to see what Kubra would do next. Maybe they were all hype.

Anti-air precautions were taken. not only was the coast armed to the teeth, but vulcans were hooked up to pickup trucks and sent throughout Kubran cities. RADAR was sent to all major cities to alert of any air attacks. Strobe lights were taken from some business's to be deployed for air detection. They could not launch an attack. Their military had rose 2%. They needed time to prepare and organize before an attack could be carried out. Squirrel class coastal patrol ships were fitted with torpedo launchers and 2 torpedoes each. Military researchers were already feverishly working on military technology. They needed to atleast complete the Ocarnia class and the Alvin class before they could move on to other military projects. More funding was put into the military an arms manufacturing increased.

The Felucans were just waiting, watching for the eventual incoming jets and ships.

Luciano waited for the coming of enemy soldiers, but none came. Most likely, they were waiting for them to attack. As it would seem, they were also taking a defensive stance. Of course, they discussed the possiblitlity of a counterattack if they invaded.

"Their navy is far more superior than ours", said one advisor.

"So is their airforce", said another one.

"Then we will use our ground forces", grunted a general.

"It won't be enough", said the 1st advisor. "They will be vulnerable to air and sea attacks".

"Well then we should cripple both the navy and airforce with land units", the general grunted back.

"How would we do that", aksed an advisor.

"The KSOB agents", A Brigadier genral suggested. "They might be able to sabatoge the Felucan navy and airforce".

"and if they can steal anything", added the general. "We can copy the design and produce it ourselves". There was a murmur of agreement.

"so it is decided", the General grunted a bit more hoarsly. "KSOB agents will be deployed". Now, they had to plan how to do this.

OOC: Does your nation border any other nations?

From: Grand Senate of the Allied Union of Velkya
To: All Parties Involved

We have been watching this conflict with great interest, and hearby condemn the highly imperialistic actions of New Fulcea against the nation of Kubra, which clearly violate the sovereignty of said nation in the most violent and despicable manner possible. If New Fulcea doesn't not pay Kubra appropriate reparations for the unprovoked and unwarranted attack on both the leadership and people of Kubra, the nation of New Fulcea will find it has an adversary much larger and better equipped than itself.

People of Kubra, you now have the official support of the Allied Union of Velkya in this matter.

-End Transmission-

We condemn the actions of the Felucans.It was well within the right of the Kubrain President to outlaw mimes,especially if the mimes were causing problems throughout the country.This being said,we support Kubra in his actions and we will commit ground,air and naval forces.

OOC: *does the bumpty dance*

Encrypted Message to Kubra

We understand your situation and at the moment you are completely incapable of defending yourself against enemy attack via the sea so we offered the 225mm Coastal Defense Gun.

It uses a shell with curved ribs, and matching deep rifling grooves in the barrel with a special sealing ring behind it and a slightly larger charge. The high pressure in the barrel created by the powerful charge mediated by the ETC allows the shell to travel a tremendous distance and come down with a powerful force.

Combined with an advanced tactical awareness system you are sure to have, these guns can begin firing from concealed positions at a much higher rate of fire and cheaper than traditional missiles and other means.

With this investment and installation on either fixed or rail based positions means you can pound enemy ships far beyond your territorial waters from land. The enemy will think they are being bombed and when combined with a sea-based attack the confusion they will cause will make the enemy fleet think you are armed with some sort of superweapon, which in a way this is.

The shells are either the KE variant using Tungsten carbide cores and at 100km they can penetrate 500mm of armour plating, or 6.4m of reinforced concrete. Katie shells can carry 10kt tactical nukes in the event they are necessary. Specially built shells with extending fins can deliver powerful fuel-air shells to 'trim' enemy ships above-water structures. Rocket boosting shells can add another 50km to the range at the expense of accuracy and weight of warhead.

These guns are waiting, disassembled, ready to ship immediately via An-124-200 aircraft to your nation to be rapidly assembled within a day and mounted on their railroad car assemblies for shipment to their fixed positions or stay mounted on the rail car.

Specifications
Calibre: 225mm
Barrel length: 34m
Weight: 300,000 kilograms
Elevation: +25 to +65
Traverse on rail mount: 25 degrees
Traverse on stationary mount: 190 degrees
Shell weight: 125kg
Muzzle velocity: 5120m/s
Maximum Range: 165km, (rocket boosted) 215km
Cost: 300 million US

Don't skimp on defenses, buy today and then invest in salvage ships to pick up the remains of the enemy fleet!

We can also clear out our surplus of refurbished T-72 tanks upgraded to be a formidable opponent on the battlefield. We currently have 1400 in stock that need to be moved now! They are standard T-72 stats but with Konkact-5 ERA and the Arena-1 Active countermeasures system. They are $1.5 million each.

We wonder if you are still interested in defending yourself.

Official Imperial Communique
To New Felucia

The Democratic Empire of Cravan also comdemns the actions of New Felucia against the leadership of the sovereign nation known as Kubra. We hereby stand by Kubra, and will assist in any way possible. The actions of New Felucia are despicable, and we will not allow this injustice to pass.

OOC: Since Velkya is more than a match for New Felucia/Xeno, I will prolly just take a moral support or air support role, and maybe a little naval support. Possibly some ground troops or spec ops. You never know.

Official reply: *yawn*

The war is just as much over as anything else. They currently lack the ability to attack us, and it is only war if the nation of Kubra chooses to persue it. We are content to leave things as they are.

Official Reply

Technically, the first shots have already been fired by you on Kubra with the death of the Prime Minister and his family. Therefore, we will support any attack mounted by Kubra.

OOC: I'll just sit and wait like I good little boy, I guess.

Although we do not require money at the moment, we appreciate the show of support. Furthermore, we will convert this money directly into military hardware, which we will ship back to you to aid in your war effort.

TSRM has stood by too long while this attack on civil rights took place. War has officially been declaired on Kubra. 2 aircraft carriers are being sent to the war along with destroyers. The air force will be there to support the bombers. Landing ships have been sent, but ordered to stand ground.

We don't reccomend attacking Kubra. The point has been made already, and so far, Kubra has not made aggressive actions. Lets leave it at that.

Shadowy Headquarters

"We need a way to speed this up, weapons sales will be down if they don't start killing each other."

"How about this, we can get one of our private 'boomers' out to sea and have it get to maximum depth while being able to launch one of those Red Tidean Ballistic Missiles. Fitted with a conventional warhead, and aim it at a major population center. Instant hostilities."

"I like it, how unaccountable can we be?"

"The Boomer is a DMG leftover and foreign citizens operate it. Technically they work for 'Strategic Solutions' a multinational company that has no clear leadership. They have all signed their lives away and we are willing to detonate the sub if they are anywhere near caught."

"Make it happen."

2 days later on the edge of Kubra waters

The submarine had been sailing at an extremely low depth and reached its target. It ascended and was shallow enough to launch. 2 ballistic missiles flew out toward New Feluca's capital city, aiming at what appeared to be a large shopping center in satellite photographs. The submarine began diving back to maximum depth and began a roundabout route back to the Algeristan Strip from which it was based in.

A shame that this sort of thing was exactly what Starfall had been designed for.

At Central Command, various systems tracked the launches pretty much from the second they were launched. Their trajectory would be traced and calculated, before the message was electronicly wired off to Starfall.

The network came alive, thousands of platforms angling their bulky rocket packs skywards. An intercept course was calculated in miliseconds, then quite literally, a storm of rockets errupted. From left to right, then right to left, then left to right, rockets fired from their tubes on the platforms heavenwards in tracer-like streams.

From all over the country and all sorts of angles came clouds of the vicious rockets. They would explode like strings of fireworks, spraying shrapnel against the path of the inbound ballistic objects. Several skin-on-skin contacts were made, and before the missiles had even cleared the coastline of Feluca, they were nothing more than shattered bits and pieces that fell into the sea.

Just another night in Feluca.

OOC: Damage has been done. You now believe that somebody in Kubra waters launched missiles at you, and since they didn't land means that you aren't sure of the target.

1) They don't have to live in fear of nukes.
And 2) That's one piece of wankery off the table from the start.

"It didn't work, they destroyed it."

"Get the sub back into position then!"

"Alright..."

"No, no, no, what are we going to do?"

"Some sort of agent, something they can't ignore, something that hurts..."

"Red Tide!"

"Too untrustworthy..."

"Piscicidal agents, kill the fish, kill them all!"

"Good, good, something that will get their attention easily, is that available on the sub's armament?"

"There are agricidal agents, and piscicidal agents for the disruption of ecosystems, at least 2 of each, in submunition form."

"Do it then."

4 Hours later, back on the edge of Kubra waters

Again the crew was ready and again the sub rose and launched its piscicidal agents and they flew toward their target. As they got closer they dropped to sea-skimming to avoid being detected by RADAR. About 400 kilometres they would have disappeared from Feluca RADAR equipment, unless they had a ship extremely close by.

At about 100 kilometres they would detonate releasing 2 tons of piscicidal agent concentrate dispersing with the water.

If the mission was successful and the missiles not entirely consumed by flame, dead fish should be washing up on the shores on Feluca by dawn, each of them felled by a powerful saxitoxin, dangerous to humans too.

OOC: =) But you know what I'm talking about. Folks troll the forum, rarely ever posting something original. Then the second they see the chance to jump into a fight that has NOTHING to do with them, they leap on. Invariably, the story gets ruined.

The bombs slammed into the Palace, creating many large explosions. the Palace collapse forwards, toppling the houses of innocent people and toursits.

The prime Minister was implaed by a failing metal beam. It pierced right through the neck and severed his spinal cord. A failing stone slammed into his head, crushing it utterly. His oldest son had his rib cage collpased by his computer, which flew into the air when a bomb exploded near his outside window. The youngest son, only 2, had his left lung pierced by a flying piece of his rattle. The daughter whos age was in the middle took a direct hit, her body being destroyed utterly. The Prime Ministers wife was licked by the flames of a bomb before a golden decoration slammed into her leg. She bled to death in agony. Radar had been unable to pick up the bomber until it was too late. Still, the attack would not be taken lightly.

All of this over mimes?

This is just another case of someone getting their feathers ruffled about something that is in no way their concern (the civil rights of the people in Kubra) and leading to dramatic overcomplications. Damn human rights!

As noted before, Feluca had patrols out. Not to mention the anti-Hatarian taskforce still sitting several hundred miles from the Felucan coastline. That wasn't very important at the moment, though.

Again at Central Command, a launch bloom would be detected. The sensor officer sighed, "Another launch, just outside of Kubra waters."

Word was sent to the missile silos, and this time .. something new would be brought out. A battery of launch vehicles sat 'tied down' as it were, their launch baskets upraised.

In a ripple-volley, each of the 10 trucks would launch a pair of missiles. They sped off rapidly, looking more like laser beams than missiles as they disappeared over the horizon at 4km per second.

----

Starfall rockets were angled to meet the incoming missile threats. At a range of 1,000 miles, volleys were again launched. The resulting MASSIVE barrage against so very few missiles would yield the same, predictable result as last time. The missiles would be basicly vaporized by the impacts, just like before.

----

The big missiles launched seconds earlier were still in flight, and would continue to be in the air, making ballistic arcs. There were 20 missiles total. Two from each of the 10 trucks in that battery.

And they were all following the trail back to the launching submarine. The trajectory and flight path of the enemy missiles had told the story of where the submarine (Or submarines) would be.

At about 30 miles out, the main boosters broke away. Those 30 miles were crossed within seconds, and at a range of about 3 miles ... the final flight began. All boosters were gone, leaving only a 25lb depleted uranium sabot round, its fins glowing white hot from air friction.

It would look like 20 laser beams streaking down from the sky. Aimed in a grid pattern, five across and four down, covering a box approximately 500 meters across by 400 meters up and down.

Even if the enemy sub wasn't directly struck, the sheer kinetic impact of an object moving at 4km per second would likely do damage from the shockwaves and water compression.

At this range the submarine had already descened far below the waves, the compression made a severe report on the surface, however the uranium rounds didn't fare well underwater. Only 2 of them made it near the submarine after the water and it tossed it back and forth causing several minor leaks. A person nearly drowned, the captain was impressed.

After only 40 minutes since launch they had tracked them back and hit them. It was close, they had to go silent and take the dangerous route through some very deep water, something not recommended while damaged.

The ballistic missiles fared worse, one was completely destroyed, several Starfall missiles had hit it nearly simultanously. However, the other made it to the sea skimming part but it never reached its destination. A Starfall caught its behind and it slammed into the water, only 1000 pounds of concentrate was released, but it was enough. 2 tons was overkill anyway. It wouldn't be as powerful as before, but now thousands of square kilometres of ocean were now toxic toward fish. Already the fish nearby the crash site was turning face up in the water. Killed by the deadly efficiency of human poison.

Typically this far out in the ocean, the weather stream and current wouldn't actually carry the toxins towards Feluca, but rather just further out into the ocean. The water just wasn't deep enough near Feluca for those sorts of currents.

Typically this far out in the ocean, the weather stream and current wouldn't actually carry the toxins towards Feluca, but rather just further out into the ocean. The water just wasn't deep enough near Feluca for those sorts of currents.

Shadowy Boardroom

"It failed again, it was too far out to be of importance."

"That is it, how much ordinance have we spent and how much have we spent?"

"Just under a 900 million dollars."

"You, tempter, you are fired, clear our your desk and get to Algeristan, you are coordinator of submerisible detection equipment."

"Crap..."

"We need to play hardball, get me a sub with a Bulava, I want 5 ducks and 5 live ones, make 'em tacs. I want it in Kubra waters within the week."

"Yes, sir."

Hidden submersible pen in Algeristan Strip

The Borei-class submarine a holdover from the Soviet Confederate sailed out. The official records say it was given to the Ukranian Republic and was lost when Poland invaded. Instead Sierra Visions Inc. had it stolen at the last minute.

Within 3 days at a rather high depth it reached the Kubran waters but this time was a bit farther in.

The Bulava ballistic missile flew out, and began to rise, this time it was carrying a tactical nuclear warhead, in fact 5 of them. The idea was to destroy what appeared to be major ports. 3 of the MIRV's were targetted at 3 major port towns, specifically the ports themselves , the remaining two were to take out the major roads that lead to the town to further cause chaos. 15 kilotons of nuclear joy. The other 5 MIRV's emitted massive RADAR and thermal signatures, big decoys.

However, those measures depended on the Bulava even getting close enough to deploy that and ensure that countermeasures worked. If they didn't the warheads were told to detonate when destruction was imminent as soon as they were low enough in the atmosphere. That would create a destructive EMP and trigger the launch of the second Bulava with herbicidal warheads in the 7-3 configurations.

Once again, with so few targets to shoot at, and so many launching platforms.. the outcome was inevitible. It was like a single man trying to rush across an open field with no cover, while at one end sat a hundred machine gun bunkers.

At a range of 900 miles from the Felucan coast, Starfall made its interception. Literally thousands of rockets had launched a minute earlier, and would once again, explode near, infront of, behind and against the missile. At 900 miles out, it went off. It made a spectacular fireball in the sky.

Another volley of XM-1 Penetrators were launched, this time 40 of the ICMs would arc up into the sky, and even pass up the Starfall missiles in flight.

Even while the enemy submarine was launching its next warhead, a rain of 40 depleted uranium rounds would plummet out of the sky as beams of white light, focused on and around the submarine's position.

Forewarned, the next missile -if it was even launched- with the herbicides .. would be intercepted even earlier. This time at a range of around 1,050 miles from the coast. It was like firing a shotgun at a cardboard box. The missile also would be shredded, the result of more than 40,000 Starfall rockets exploding in its area.

Shadowy Boardroom

"Ok, now we need a nuke on Kubra, just to liven things up."

"Alright, a Bulava with just 2 MIRVs will do it."

"Good."

Same Submarine just before leaving Kubra waters at maximum depth

Another Bulava missile left and went straight toward Kubra, this time with only 2 tactical nukes and 8 decoys, it was aimed at two small port towns.

OOC: That's a way better idea than trying to sneak handfuls of missiles through the Felucan continental defense network. I'm not sure if Kubra has anything that can hit 'em.

The Bulava was designed for such a possibility and sent out the decoys to its sides and deftly dodged many of the Starfalls, a considerable achievement, the hardened shell of the Bulava, a side effect of years of paranoia against American hegemony let the indirect shrapnel bounce off. A few were able to damage missile and hurt the second stage thruster. The missile's electronics corrected.

The shrapnel would have pinged off the missile but it was in space already, no sound. The Bulava let loose its MIRVs as the second wave of Starfalls made its way up. The decoys headed one way and the MIRVs the other, the decoys began to emit their powerful radiation and the Starfalls with their simple electronics were suddenly faced with big bright targets versus nearly invisible other ones. The problem with investing in simple missiles were they were easily fooled. The live MIRVs and the decoys were reaching terminal velocity, descending at Mach 6 and spreading far away from each other.

OOC: How do the Starfalls react to decoys?

OOC: There's no doubt going to be a ton of skin-on-skin contacts. IE: Direct hits.

As to decoys.. the Starfall rockets are unguided. They're not affected by decoys at all.

Basicly, they're launched in swarms, into the path of an incoming target, as told to do so by various ground systems. Like, launchers #2 and #6 will aim straight at the inbound for contact hits with their 80 rockets. #3 and #7 aim every slightly ahead, for a mix of contact hits and shrapnel. #1 and #9 would aim slightly to either side to negate any manuvering. #8 and #10 would go for where the inbound will be in 2 seconds, so it forces the target to fly THROUGH shrapnel. And #5 and #4 would shoot over and under the target somewhat, for a mix of contact and shrapnel, plus covering a pitch axis of dodging.

And that's just one battery of 10 platforms. There's around 150 batteries shooting right now. In effect.. there are CONSTANT explosions going off against and around the inbound.

Submarine position

"Intel is sending a burst, 20 minutes to impact!"

"They aren't sure where we are or how we are moving, take evasive manuevers, move as far away from our launching position, closer to Kubra."

"Getting closer"

"Brace, dive, dive, dive."

The penetrators made their impact, creating boiling pools of waters where they hit. One sliced the side of the Borei, damaging the side and springing a major leak. It was blind retaliation at an invisible enemy, but it was effective. It started taking in water and the section was quickly sealed off and 20 men and women were doomed to drown in that section. The Borei launched its remaining ICBMs at Feluca in defiance of their orders, 10 more with the 5-5 combination all randomly targetted at Feluca. They launched, just the same as before.

Command found out, it was no longer profitable to continue along this path. They decided to punish the crew.

As they were close to containing the leak the submarine's remote detonation code was transmitted and the submarine exploded underwater, nothing but a near silent thud was heard.

The boardmembers left and destroyed all records of the expediture listing under yet another black budget project. The 'nuclear' man was fired, made a RADAR supervisor in the X-band project.

OOC: So essentially AA against a ballistic missile. I see... Something easily avoidable especially in space.

The decoys flew a bit faster since they lacked the heavy nuclear warheads of the actual MIRVs. They were hit by the dispersal of the Starfalls. Being unguided they took most of the flak. 2 of the actual nukes took direct hits, they tumbled out of the sky at a bad angle, one was completely inactivated by the preponderance of hits. The other one flew out of control toward the ocean and detonated finally above the water, near a confused pod of whales which suddenly got very warm, felt light and suddenly disappeared.

Now only 3 remained as the Starfalls passed them by, moving at Mach 7 creating a plasma as they descened, making a beautiful line in the sky. The decoys were destroyed completely.

As far as the Felucans knew, this next wave of missiles was from yet another launching submarine.

40 more XM-1 Penetrators were fired off, following the inbound trails of the ICBMs, again to later splash down where the enemy had fired from.

The ten incoming ICBMs met the same fate as their forebearers. It was just too few targets to effectively overwhelm Starfall. It instantly ordered more batteries online to serve as 'reserve'.

In the first wave of Starfall, 9 of the iCBMs were ripped apart. One somehow slipped through with minor damage, but was intercepted 2 miles later, only seconds before it could deploy its own MIRVs.

RADARs were still searching. More and more Starfall systems were being brought online. Not watching just one direction, but monitoring all sides. Waiting for the next wave.

OOC: PS: All WMD attacks get treated the same way with the same results. It's my personal, OOC policy against wankery.

OOC: The thing is that how many Starfall systems can you have deployed and ready to be able to intercept something thousands of miles away and coming in on a ballistic trajectory. That and the Bulava was designed to avoid being destroyed on that phase before it could deploy. Give me a chance to respond to more Starfalls which I don't think have the range to intercept me at that range. I think that is crossing the line, so I have to call ignore on that. A minute ago they were unguided dummies and now suddenly they can cross oceans and not act as a short range defense but as a long range defense. That and the corporation has found this venture to be a bit too dangerous now.

New shadowy boardroom

"Cancel it, I don't want something like this, the other missiles can handle it, we've made our point."

The Bulava's exploded, their crago damaged fell into the sea. Starfall missiles flew into the shrapnel field, and kept going.

Long meetings followed, the former Board of New Investments were accused of nearly dooming the company. But given what they knew, it was too dangerous to let them go. They promised them extremely high pensions and gave them all harmless jobs in the mountains of Algeristan, watching radio arrays bounce on the ionisphere.

Sierra Visions Inc. had invested 2 billion USD for no real war return. Ultimately it was a waste of money. But the massive order of Coastal Artillery Guns the month before was providing enough money.

OOC: Ignore it if you want. They're all unguided turborockets, aimed at a specific point. Just like when you fire a high-powered rifle at someone moving at long range. You determine the direction they're going, their speed, and the time it takes to get there.. and pull the trigger. Now imagine if it was a computer firing the rifle. A lot more accurate.

Now imagine 40 bullets fired one after another. And they're explosive bullets. Some of 'em will go straight at you, others explode all around you.

Now imagine, there's 150 different computers, each firing 40 bullets.

*shrugs* The stats on the Starfall haven't changed. It's available here: Starfall (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10953191&postcount=64). As to how many I have currently deployed.. it's classified. But rest assured, there's more than 30,000 of the launchers active around Feluca.

OOC: He doesn't have allies. He has people trying to use the situation to get involved in a fight. Folks are either too stupid or too lazy to get involved in their own plots, so they run around looking for other peoples' story to feed off of. Kinda like parasites.

OOC: A bit arrogant, are we? You may attack a smaller nation without reprisal, but when people go to help the smaller nation, you brush them off as stupid and lazy for not thinking up their own plots.

OOC: Problem is, Xenos, you are trying to literally hit a bullet with a bullet... actually, what your doing is significantly more difficult. Assuming you are using proximity fuses, the warhead will be moving faster then the both the 'Starfall' and the shrapnel it releases. Given that you are trying this with unguided projectiles, the chance of you hitting is less then 0.000000001%. This problem is compounded if the warhead is manuevering(which is it is in this case), in which case your chance of intercepting drops to 0%.

OOC: Excuse me. Who are you? Why don't you try reading the specs on Starfall before you make such stupid comments? It doesn't matter how fast something is moving, it can be hit.

Here's a DIRECT quote from the write-up I did:

Warhead
The explosives package is extremely powerful, propelled by a rocket booster using a solid fuel cell that achieves approximately Mach 11. The Starfall is not intended for a skin-on-skin contact (though it happens often), instead to saturate a sphere of space with munitions, in effect forming massive clouds of 'flak'. The explosion is timed, to usually go off before the inbound ballistic object has even reached the Starfall rocket. Many ICBMs are actually faster than an explosion.


kthxgoodbye.

As to you, Velkya, what have YOU done recently on your own, besides hop on other peoples' stories and feed off them like some sort of fucking forum vampire? Not much, I see. Oooh, ANOTHER over-done alliance? Whoopity friggin doo. That's pretty original, considering there's already like 500 big floppy alliances on this forum already.

Seriously. Kubra hasn't even accepted anyone's help. Yet this thread has already been spammed by a half dozen tards who think it's their birthright to dogpile themselves into any war that comes along. As far as I'm concerned Velkya, your participation in this isn't welcome, and any actions on your part will be ignored.

OOC: Ok, I'm back and ready to post. Let me just read through rverything and I'll post.

OOC: .....I swear never to leave the NS forum for more than a day. If I do, I'll get nuked. well, this seems quite strange.

OOC: I'm pretty sure I mentioned it earlier. It's an island continent. No bordering nations. Hmm, well sneaking in to an island can be hard. Well, let's make a blind dash.

From in a Kubran port, one of the Los Angeles classes 2 men and 3 women were loaded on, as well as a small fishing boat. Also, a deep freeze full of fish was brought in. They would sneka into new Feluca, disguised as fishermen. They would take no weapons with them, they would gather what they needed from the black market. They all gazed back, staring for the last time at the glittery lights of Karkand. Their eyes turned towards the sparkling, endless sea, eyes filled with determination. Then, they boarded the sub. The mechanical hum started, then the sub slowly movedo out of port. It gained speed and momentum, going faster the longer it went. Then without warning, it descended into the deep blue depths of the sea.

WILLINKIAN GOVERNMENT RESPONSE
While we cannot agree with the imperalistic actions of our allies in New Feluca, we have no choice but to support them in their efforts against Kubra. At thus, we will provide a small naval armada to assist them in any actions they take, and point several hundread conventional strategical long range missile's in the vicinity of Kubra.

Of course someone is going to say something. I'm doing it for profit, which is as good as any reason. Velkya has its morals and several people just want to blow shit up, which is exactly what you did. When you live in a glass house it is best not to organize rock throwing contests, especially spontaneously right next to your neighbor's house, they'll take offense.

Also the Bulava missile is armoured for the very reason that there are Starfalls, essentially a rocket powered Flak gun, and the Bulava was made to avoid that. The outside is thick skinned which is why the missile is so heavy and doesn't contain more MIRVs. It is EM hardened and contains electronics to dodge unguided missiles, contains decoys and active countermeasures, and actually capable of being within half a kilometre of a nuclear detonation.

And if they are similar to the Topol-M they are based on they can survive hits from any current MT US LASER weapon.

All of these I believe were purchased from Red Tide and modifications made to accept the smaller Leafanistani Tac Nukes. Red Tide sure is the best. :D

IC: From under the silent depths of the sea, a lone submarine cut the water like a knife through jello. The lights coming out of the reinforced portholoes were dimmed, some were out entirely. Crewmen stared intently at maps by the dimmed light. The submarine slowly began to rise out from the depths of the ocean. The sea was alight by the dazzling sparkle of the moonlight against the flying droplets of water; the sub had risen.

PT-1 Rook 1433

The electronics officer spoke up, "Sir, I have a non-Felucan submarine. It's snorting at bearing six two, six six. Approximately one mile." He focused on his headphones, which through the towed array behind the patrol boat listened to the distant sounds of a surfaced submarine.

"Confirm."

"Aye sir."

The Rook flipped on its engines and the nose lifted somewhat as the hyfrofoil effect came into play. The patrol boat sped forward, rapidly picking up speed. Through night vision goggles and equipment, they could soon see the whale-shaped body of the submarine. In the bow of the ship, a gunner manned the 20mm cannon.

"Engage."

The 20mm began to bark, spitting out shells towards the submarine. A half second later, the Rook fired a single ASM Stake (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10213330&postcount=12) missile. It skimmed along the surface of the ocean at about three meters, and when it reached its target, would suddenly dip down to engage the contact.

Shells ripped thorugh the submarine. a number of explosions went on. Of ocurse, they had no armaments. They saw no need for such a mission. THere was nothing for it, THe commander got out of his slwoly sinking hsip and put his hands up. He raised the white flag, too. Life boats were taken out and thrown into the water. One man in each lifeboat waved a white flag. They would prtetend to be former militants, but deserted the military. Possibly, the mission could be completed. Comrades had died, they weren't going to let their deaths be in vain.

OOC: Oly 40% of the crew is alive now, so there's 67 crewmen are alive.

Within fifteen minutes, a handful of Ace helicopters - ASW version - had arrived on the scene and began to circle, searching for more contacts and threats.

Spotlights from the Rook glared down on the survivors, keeping a safe distance while the 20mm gunner watched over it all.

It took twenty minutes, but eventually three more Rooks pulled up escorted by a Cyan class guided missile destroyer. Lines would be thrown over the side, and under close guard the survivors collected and handcuffed for the ride back to Northport.

By the time they arrived at Northport, it was dawn. Marines stood on the docks along with naval MPs. The prisoners would be escorted down the dock to waiting trucks for transport to the military prison of Northport.

The men stayed quiet, letting what was going on go on. They could not strike now, they had no means of defense. What they needed were guns, and lots of them. If they were lucky, they could somehow get out of New Feluca and go home heroes. Of ocurse, the chances of that were next to impossible.

Northport

The so-called 'captain' of said enemy submarine would be marched by a pair of black-armored Felucan Marines through the prison system, down several hallways and corridors, until at last he would be brought into a 20x20 foot square room. The room has one-way mirrored walls, a table bolted to the floor and a pair of plastic chairs.

After perhaps an hour of sitting there alone, the door opens and in walks a gorgeous fox anthro. Her fur is red, white on the throat and palms, her figure sleek and a fox tail poking from the trousers. She examined the 'captain' down her muzzle for a half second with cold blue eyes, before she moved forward and sat at her chair. A manilla folder opened, some papers shuffled through. Finally she spoke, triangular ears twitching, "Good morning. My name is Major Zale Fox."

She's notably wearing an army uniform, the boots polished to a frightening degree, the uniform pressed and clean. "Judging by your uniforms and documentation, your ship was from Kubra. What were you doing in Felucan territorial waters?"

"We are deserters", He replie. He kept all emotion out of his voice, keeping it bland. "We disagree with the laws the Kubran governement has passed, and wish it to be destroyed". Then he stuch his thumb between his middle finger and pointer finger, a sign racist to Kubrans. To them, it meant "toilet men". They found it very offensive. Of course, he wasn't really a Kubran. He was an immigrant, acually. The sign didn't mean much to him.

Major Zale looked him over, frowning. "So by not agreeing with the laws of your home government, you choose instead to commit an act of war and violate the laws of New Feluca?"

The beautiful fox lady flipped the pages of her notes. "I am to inform you that you are to be held as prisoners of war for the duration of the conflict."

The beautiful fox lady flipped the pages of her notes. "I am to inform you that you are to be held as prisoners of war for the duration of the conflict." "Ma'am", he interrupted. "We are not taught the laws of other countries, just our own. We know nothing of foreign laws, and our former government passed laws banning the knowledge of nations other than us". That was a lie, of course. BUt still, he didn't know the New Felucan laws. Well, at least he was being partly honest.

Well, at least he was being partly honest.

She would regard him with a steady stare. "It is a matter of international concensus that a non-consential violation of territorial waters is indeed a crime. To not realize even that basic of a concept goes beyond ignorance."

"Furthermore, the crime of desertion from any army is usually met with a court martial and summary execution. You have the right to request a lawyer for the court martial proceedings after we contact your government."

Message to Kubra:

We have destroyed a submarine belonging to your nation in our territorial waters. The captain claims to be a deserter. The rest of the crew will be held as prisoners of war until this debacle ends. The captain, as the officer in charge will be summarily court-martialed in accordance to international laws. The charges are desertion, violation of territorial waters and piracy.

Your nation is entitled to witness the proceedings, thus we will allow five nationals from Kubra into New Feluca to serve as council to the accused. This will be done under international scrutiny.

Furthermore, calling off this 'war' and signing a peace treaty now will grant your sailors free passage back to Kubra, as posed by Felucan Laws of Warfare, article 7, section 6.

If you refuse to broker peace, we will hold these sailors as prisoners for the duration of the war.

Offical Kubran response:

We request something differnet. They are our criminals,hey are our responsibility. They are mongrels, disgracing their nation like this. Of ocurse, I feel that it would only be fair to let tem die honourably. Let them embrace a warriors death, even though they are disgraced. They are to commit suicde.

End the war? You're kidding. Do oyu know why we banned mimes? These will show you why.

Sincerely,
Luciano
Military Pirie Minister of Kubra

He put some pictures in the envelope. In them, were the horrific cirmes of mimes. They depicted picutres of people without limbs, missing organs, having horrible disfigurements, being trapped in invisible boxes, and other such stuff.

Reply,

These so-called 'criminals' will be held over according to international law until the war ends. Considering Kubra has yet to make an effective offensive move in this 'war', we see very little reason to continue it. We have no desire to invade Kubra and bring the war to your people, as many of our military officials have suggested.

As to the crimes, crimes are commited by all types of people no matter what their profession. There have just as likely been as many people killed in shark attacks, than by mime attacks. The world does not condemn sharks as a whole, only those that kill people.

The world does not condemn sharks as a whole, only those that kill people. May I ask hpow many organized mime gangs you have? Probably not meany, so you wouldn't know what it was like in Kubra before the law. Citizens lived in fear. People didn't dare stay outside too long, or they would get mugged. Besides, the only reason sharks eat people is because they surf with white bottom surfboards or somehow get a cut. About 3,000 people have died to mimes within the year before the law was enacted. Finally, we managed to gain peace. Then you bombed us, killing our leader and even innocent children. Do you find your nation at all noble and righteous? If so, we think you should stop. Is killing innocent people at all noble or righteuous? We will not let you be so unjust.

at those words, the naval fleet was organized. Undermanned ships were manned and the fleets prepared for launch. War was going to occur.

Street gangs and 'packs of mimes' are strictly an administrational and socitial problem. Passing heavy-handed and insane laws in an attempt to stop a problem which your government's compliance and apathy created is counter-intuitive to the situation.

You might be right, but that doens't solve the problem. We sent a message asking if you had a better idea we got no reply. Plus, you bombed us! Does this mean in stead of trying to remedy the problem, you would kill those who you think create unfair laws? That doens't rememdy anytihng, it just pushes the situation further. You think that you can bully our nation around like that? You oppose opression by the looks of it, yet you try to oppress us. Where is the good in that?

We were under the impression that you might replace a terribly inept leader, with one halfway competent. It would not seem so, unfortunetly.

<As a note, Felucan naval forces are still on alert.>

<As a note, Felucan naval forces are still on alert.> So what are you going to do, bomb me? guess that's the answer to all your problems. you see someone who in oyur eyes is incompetent, so you kill them. Wow, it reminds me of how Hitler killed those he considered imperfect. Well, the only difference is your killing isn't yet widespread.

We tended to see it the other way around. Kubra, being the modern-day Hitler by persecuting groups. Of course, if they had laser-guided bombs during WWII, Hitler would have met the same fate as your former leadership.

We killed them because they were killers. so far, we have not yet met a mime who has not committed murder. Those who did not commit crime understood why we did what we did, and moved form the country. Because they were proven to be innocent, they were given 1,000 mesos to help them with their moving. We wouldn't just leave the innocent to rot.

The entire policy is outdated and reeks of facism. Again, we make it clear. Your prisoners will be held until the war has ended. The one being court-martialed will be provided with a Felucan council, as Kubra has declined to respond to the original offer with proper expedience.

<The communications are cut off.>

<The communications are cut off.> "as to be expected", Luciano said gruffly. Then, he continued ot make phtoshopped pictures of New Felucans disgracing themselves.

Then, the fleet launched. Nothing was spared (except some 2 ships and border patrol boats), it was all sent.

The fleet consists of the following.

1 Nimitz class nuclear carrier
2 Empire Class Carrier
2 Admiral Class Carrier
2 Valkyrie Class Helicopter Assault Carrier
4 Hunter Class Submarine
4 Nautilus Class Submarine
4 Dolphin Class Submarine
8 Stingray Class Cruiser
8 Thunder Class Cruiser
4 Flank Class Destroyer
4 Search Class Detroyer
6 LC-2 Intruder Class Landing Craft
2 Lord Class Battleship
2 Orca Class Battleship
4 Chieftain Class Pocket Battleship
20 Los angeles submarines
8 Alvin class light cruisers
1 Principe De Austerius class aircraft carrier
1 CGN-38 Virginia class cruiser

Northport Naval Harbor

A sailor stepped into the operations room of one of the base's command centers. He handed over a sheet of paper to a naval officer. He didn't salute. Felucan sailors don't salute indoors. The officer, wearing Rear-Admiral shoulder boards glanced over the paper. "Seems Kubra just put a fleet to sea. What do you want to bet they're coming after us?" The intelligence people had been hard at work with their satellites.

Northern Felucan Territorial Waters

A battle group was assembling. The backbone would be a pair of Felucan aircraft carriers, Daewoo class armed with mostly F-10As, which were the air-to-air interceptor version of the Felucan F-10 Raptor.

Reinforcing the carriers in close were a cluster of the brand new FFM Cobra class missile frigates. These sleek, heavily-armed craft would provide a very heavy punch to the closed fist that represented this flotilla. Mixed in were several types of destroyers, as well as a pair of Jade class cruisers.

No doubt the enemy would throw plenty of submarines at them, thus a large portion of the destroyer group would consist of Big Blue helicopter carrier destroyers.

Battle group:
2x Daewoo Carriers
2x Jade Class Guided Missile Cruisers
4x Banks Class All-Purpose Destroyers
4x Cyan Class Guided Missile Destroyers
10x Big Blue Class Helicopter Destroyers
8x Cobra Class Missile Frigates

As the Kubra fleet approached Felucan territory, dozens of ASW helicopters would lift off and speed forward, dropping down to dunk their sensors arrays into the water and search about for enemy submarines.

Four squadrons of F-10A Raptors were up already, circling in BARCAP.

Liberty City, Brydog
Pres. Lichtenburg was reading a report on the Kubran-Felucian War. He decided to do something. He gave a folder to a military aid, which outline the plan. He decided to make a speech to the world about this.

The Nation of Kubra has banned mimes, and these mimes kill people by miming weapons. This is a lie, we have researched the method and found it impossible. Effective today, a state of war between Kubra and the LIberal Democratic Republic of Brydog has been officialized. I have deployed the 2nd Fleet to deal with this lier and stop his lies to his people.

OOC: I don't see how you can deploy a fleet in time to catch up with Kubra's fleet, which has already deployed. It doesn't make any sense. You would first have to assemble a fleet, send out the orders, THEN try to catch up to them from half a world away.

OOC: Was talking about Brydog trying to catch up to you, Kubra. He's saying he can assemble a fleet and find you, before you move from Kubra to Feluca. It's BS. Just ignore him and go on with it, Kubra.

OOC: Ok, time for my fleet to probably be slaughtered by your much bigger one!

OOC: Meh. The one I sent out is much smaller than yours. It's a first response scramble. Go ahead and post your opening move.

The sterns of ships cut through the water like a knife through through air. From the south, a storm was brewing. Although it was travelling west, so they were in no danger. From where they were, it was quite sunny. Men were on deck to avoid the stifling hot conditions of the below decks. Of course, it was still quite hot above deck. The sun was 3 quarters of the way around the sky, so that meant it was almost evening. When the sun went down, the men planned on lighting fireworks. Not only had they got their hands on bottle rockets, but they got a few new years day grade rockets. They did what they could to find any heavy duty fireworks they could, as well as the smaller ones. Of ocurse, that would probably give away their position. They knew this, but guessed that no enemy ships would be close anyways.

A radio transmission: "Attention Kubran fleet. You are approaching Felucan territorial waters. Turn sixty degrees to the north or south immedietly, or face the penalty."

Two dozen F-10Bs were rolling off of carrier decks now, armed with Stake ASMs and various other strike weaponry. The F-10As were already up. Onboard the various cruisers, destroyers and frigates, Felucan sailors were locking things down for direct combat.

The smaller Felucan force was stretched out over 5 kilometers of water, powerful RADARs sweeping out, feeling about the Kubran fleet.

" Sailors, brace for combat", came the call for, the loudspeakers. The fireowkrs had been forgotten on the decks. From every ship, people could be seen rushing. The artillery guns were activated and the F-18s were brought on top the decks of the carriers. The submarines fell beneath the waves. The F-18s had air-to air missiles equipped to them, nothing special. There were 3 on each wing, as well as on air to ground missile on each wing. A naval fight was about to begin

Near the Kubran Fleet
The 2nd Fleet waited for the the Kubran to fire first, then they would fire their weapons. E-2Cs scan the area for contacts. Adm. Stavler waited for the right time to attack. OOC: If only you had done this in a better fashion, I would have given you evidence of the mime slaughter.

At thirty thousand feet, the F-10Bs would speed in, escorted by F-10As. The Kubran fleet refused to turn away. It was out of the hands of the Felucans. At a range of about 40 miles, the F-10Bs launched a volley of Stake anti-ship missiles.

The fighter jets would then turn away and head back to the Felucan fleet.

The Felucan fleet itself was gearing up. The first brand new Cobra missile frigate would begin firing off Archer cruise missiles. One after another, they blasted free of the VLS tubes and rocketed off towards the distant Kubran fleet. A total of 36 cruise missiles for the initial volley.

The radio abord the Nimitz flared up. The Admiral lisened to it, then nodded his head in understanding. "Turn around", he told the crew. "Get all ships out of Felucan waters, pull back the jets, and defend against the missiles". At that, the cruise missiles aboard every ship with them were aimed at the enemy missiles. The F-18s recieved the radio message as well as new orders. They too locked their anti-air missiles at the missiles, then turned around. The ships also slowly started to turn around. The chainguns aboard the Alvin classes and Nimitz class positioned themselves towards the low flying crusie missiles.

OOC: volley of 12 cruise missiles, 30 air to air missiles, and a few hundreds rounds of bullets. Chance of impact between both forces is minimal, considering the high speeds they go at.

The CIWS systems would have the best chance of hitting the Archer cruise missiles. Dozens were shot down, leaving only 8 left to continue towards the Kubran fleet.

8 Kubran ships erupted in falmes. Those ships were both admiral classes, 3 Alvin classes, 1 thunder class, and 2 dolphin class submarines that did not submerge in time. In response, the weapons on the remaining ships flared up. Cruise missiles needed to be reloaded, but naval guns were still able to fire. The Mark 12 guns on the alvin classes flared up, sending a volley of 25 shells. The cheiftan class pocket battleships let loose their railguns, leaving a volley of 36. The 30 submarines crept silently under the water, sometimes rumbling from a shot fired. The lord and orca class ships were blocked by ships in front, but were looking for an opening from which they could unleash hell with their many guns. Torpedoes were not laucnhed, they just stayed in their tubes.

The Felucan ships were struck by several shells. One of the Daewoo carriers was just turning into the wind to launch another pair of fighters when a cannon round ripped through the bridge, killing several officers. Smoke boiled out of the elevated bridge area.

One of the Cobra frigates was crippled as a pair of cannon rounds struck one after another in the bow. Water gushed through the hole left behind while the crew struggled to turn it away from the fire.

The cruisers and destroyers with their heavier armor fared better, mainly because so far the hits were above the water line.

The two Jade cruisers popped open their forward-slanted missile tubes and let loose with a volley of 8 anti-ship missiles, which streaked downrange.

The Banks class destroyers went to the front, returning fire with their own small cannons, mainly trying to serve as armor for the rest of the fleet.

OOC: I like these DMG ships.

IC: From one of the emprie classes, the sea sparrows kicked into gear. 12 anti- missiles missiles were launched to try and destroy the oncoming anti-ship missiles.

The high success rate of the Sparrows would be enough to knock down that particular barrage of anti-ship missiles.

However, now would be the time for the Raptor-Bs to come into play. The strike aircraft dove down from 50,000 feet, dropping wingloads of dumb, 1,000lb bombs towards the decks of the ships below. The Raptor-B's jammers were going full-steam, flares falling from the wingtips along with chaff to help confuse anti-aircraft missiles.

The Banks class destroyers went broadside, protecting the fleet by providing their own armor for the enemy guns to chew at. They would ripple-fire torpedos.

The blunt-nosed torpedos shot from their tubes, splashing into the water and streaking towards the leading enemy ships.

The SH-1 Ace ASW helos continued to circle, trying desperately to find the enemy submarines so that they can be engaged from the air.

The flares had been proved effective in numerous wars, no missiles were fired out of common sense(what would be the point in wasting ammo). However, the CIWS system does not aim on heat sources. The phalanx guns roared into action. Although, the torpedoes seemed unavoidable (what's the amount launched?). So, sharp nosed armour penetrating torpedoes were launched. The subs stayed below, not daring to surface should the planes discover them. Another volley of cruise missiles and shells were launched, too. 20 cruise missiles were launched. Also, one of the chieftain classes had broken through the ranks. Altohugh, it had taken 2 hits form the Banks class. Luckily, the armour on the pocket battleship was thick. However, one of the search classes was not as lucky. A shell struck it in the ammunition storage, creating a large explosion. Anywats, it let loose with its guns, too. In total, 79 shells from the fleet were launched. The other big ships still needed an opening from which they could fire accurately.

(Sorry about the delay. Got some weird work hours last week.)
-About 20 torpedos were launched-

The cruise missiles were delt with sensibly by CIWS systems, which reached out from the Banks class destroyers to swat most of them down. However, two came straight through, striking the bow of the ship. A moment later, it was ripped in half by an ammunition explosion and began to rapidly sink.

Two of the other Banks class were also struck by repeated shells and cannon rounds. One was crippled entirely as its guns were shot off and the bridge deck basicly decapitated from the ship. The other turned, struggling with its rudders as its own guns, heavily damaged continued to fire back.

The already damaged Daewoo carrier began to retreat under the cover of a swarm of F-10Bs and As, while its sister carrier followed along. An escort of most of the taskforce went with it, leaving just a handful of ships to fight a retreat towards the Felucan mainland by launching a wave of cannon rounds and dropping mines. Of course, the mines were obvious.. but hopefully would keep the Kubrans from chasing immedietly.

ASW helicopters zoomed about, dipping their sensors into the water to look for submarines as the taskforce retreated.

The Felucans were defeated, trying to make it to friendly waters.

*bump*

OOC: I'm delaying my response until tomorrow, I have to go somewhere in like, half a minute.

*la-bump*

OOC: Oh yesh, my reply!

IC: The armour was thick enough to stop a direct hit from a torpedo, but it was not enough to stop a second hit. One of the empire classes erupted in flame, sinking rapidly. An orca class took very heavy damage, just barely staying afloat. The jets were crammed into what little carriers there were left. The small guns weren't much of a hassle, though. A shell caught one of the stingray cruisers and the damaged orca class, but nothing too bad. The guns on the ships fired back. The mines kept them from pursuing, but it would be stupid to pursue anywys. They would probably just be broken by coastal defenses. They turned tail to go back to Kubra.

OOC: So what's the conditions for the POWs? I think I the rp can continue with them.

OOC: Oh yesh, my reply!

IC: The soldiers were all piled in beds, chairs, and even the floor. They were all doing one thing; staring at the tv. It's not that they never had cable tv, it's just that they had nothing else to do. The captain, though, did not join in their mind rotting hours of television. He sat in his bunk with paper, trying to think up some way to escape. Only a handful of men had considered escaping since they were caught. In fact, this was probably like retirement ot them. No military drills, no camp cruelty, no work whatsoever, cable television, acceptable food, it was pretty good for them. That's because they were soldiers. For the most part they have to work. Now they had to do nearly nothing. Although, some were more comfortable with work. So, they joined the captain in his planning.

The food is good. Usually staples, such as potatos, plenty of bread, pastas and butter, coffee, soda, water, tea and milk. It's a fattening diet, really. Once each week, take-out food is delivered in the form of french fries and hamburgers.

The compound covers perhaps 30 acres of land, and is encircled by three rows of fences topped with razor wire. To help prevent digging, 10 foot trenches were dug and chain link fences lowered into them before being refilled. German sheperd watch dogs patrolled between the #3 fence layer.The #1 and #2 fence layer has no guard dogs, but instead sand which is raked daily for footprints.

There are watch towers every 30 yards or so, connected by walkways to each other as well as the ground with staircases. Nearby are the guard barracks.
