Southern Voltair, Some Few Miles North of Candestein

Line of Iron Has Been Completed.The Line of Iron in the south has been completed. A system of stone, dirt and woon fortifications has been created throughout the south, North of the Candesteinian Border. The Line begins approximtly 1/2 mile north of the Pyrenees Mountains Northern Base, it stretches from the Atlantic to the Mediteranean. The line consists of miles of trenches, systems of fortifications, bunkers, and various traps. The trenches were some 5 feet deep, with wooden spikes driven from the frontal edges to ward off charging enemy troops. Stone and earthen fortifications, housing both 12 pounder artillery guns and troops stand every half mile or so, creating bulwarks of defense against any assault on the line.

Behind the initial trench lines come even more. When one system of trenches appears lost, soldiers can simply fall back through designated tunnels to the next line, and so on, and so forth. Inside the trench systems are artillery batteries, consisting of several cannons ranging from 8 pounders to 24 pounders. Sharp shooters are placed every so often with rifles, and there is the occassional rocket launching system set up throughout the trenches. Though horribly innaccurate, with a massive frontal assault, they were bound to hit somthing. Starting about 150 yards infront of the first trench were pits. Holes dug six feet deep with wooden spikes driven into the ground below. These holes were well covered, nearly invisible to the unsuspicious eye.

There were some 475,000 soldiers on active duty throughout the line, about 275,000 actually in the trenches, 200,000 waited some 1/2 mile in reserve, always waiting for the order to move. If there was a specific area assaulted, they would be signaled, and move to it. In addition to these reserves, there were also some 39,000 men the immidiate area of Southern Voltair capable of being summoned and thrown into the fray. These militia, while not the crack troops of the Imperial Army, could fire a musket. Any attack from the south would be doomed to fail. Not only would they be forced to climb the pyrannes, they would face impenatrable defenses as they arrived, with Veteran troops manning the defenses in the south.

The Attack on the Candesteinian Netherlands

Mornov had planned this out to the final detail. Candestein was far too large for its own power, and needed to be cut down to proper size... by proper size he meant the taking of the Netherlands, Switzerland and Nice... if the damned Southern Dogs pushed this fight longer than he desired to fight it, they would also lose Sardinia, and portions of Northern Spain... along with New World Colonies. But that was for later, now, the collumns were moving, right across the border, into enemy land.

The low countries were a perfect place for invasion. No massive mountains, no immpassable rivers... nothing but low lying plains, fields and cities. The Blitz would take the enemy unawares, by the time they could summon a capable defense force, half the territory would be under control. The invasionary army consisted of some 500,000 men, all veterans of the Unification Wars of the last ten to fifteen years. The attack was to be massive. Planned months and months in advance, the invasion included several hundred attacks, the largest being lead by Mornov, at the head of 250,000 soldiers. Over 20,000 skirmishers began infiltrating forests around Belgium, as four armies, 25,000 men each, pierced the sides of the territory, putting the clamps on the ill prepared land. In all, the attack on Belgium included some 475,000 men.

The attack on the Northern Portion of the Candesteinian Netherlands, Holland, was much smaller, but never the less significant. A single force of 125,000, lead by the expirienced general Fredrick Le'Kranz shot into the center of the territory, through cattle lands and pasture. In all attacks, cattle, vegitation and all supplies were taken. Cows were slaughtered and eaten, bakeries pillaged, shoes stolen. All out war was the name of the game.

Attack on the Netherlands (http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/1489/netherlandsland19701rc.jpg)

On other fronts, the soldiers remained stationary. 50,000 men around Switzerland were positioned around vulnerable areas, and another 50,000 outside Savoy. They created makeshift defenses around their camps, and awaited orders to attack.

OOC: Intersting...

OOC: You can't attack northern belgium since it deep inside Canadstein Netherlands. Also it was not that much of a surpise such your true thoughts would have come about since you build that line. So you only a couple miles into both countries. Also Switzerland is now on fully alert and every able bodied male is getting ready for the fight. Spain is getting ready and sent out a message to all the other colonies. Also it seems all of your army is posted at this line. Your army cannot half your population it has to be atleast 1/3. I will post later for a response.

(Since when is 1.4 million half of 29 million? The construction of a defensive line in no way signals an all out invasion of your land... it only represents that I am defending myself from you. You can start preparing all you want. It takes weeks to mobilize substantial armies... so exactly what is to stop me armies from moving into northern belgium? You never RP'ed constructing armies, therefor, you have to start mobilizing them now. Other than standard defense forces and militia, there is nothing to stop them from moving in. The presence of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Voltair is not really anything to make you think I am invading anyone. MY nation has been in civil war, therefor, lots of troops.)

ooc: errr.. 1.4 is a little high. possibly valid in a civil war, but wouldn't most of them now be required to get the economy functioning again so your people didn't starve or run out of vital resorces or something? realisticly, with 29 mill, if you're not being invaded in your homeland, your supportable army tops out at 580, 000 men under arms.

OOC: Since when the hell does everyone have such a high population? This the the 1770's. You are a godmodder and I'm not going to accept this as a valid thread. Also I didn't have time to moblize my army you imbecile.

True, it is quite high. However, lets remember who is running the country, and the circumstances currently going on. Civil war is ending, people are still highly pissed off at foriegners for supporting losing factions. Take a look at France in 1814. Over 500,000 soldiers, and they had just come out of a revolution. This will have reprocussions, however, not for some several months, by which time I expect the war to be over. If however, the war drags on, I will RP supply shortages and other such consequences. If you look at it percentage wise, Vietnam had a much, much higher percentage fighting than I do... as did Russia and Germany and France in WWI + II. This number will hurt the general state of my country, but it is physically possible for some time.

@Candestein. There are lots of excuses for not being able to RP. Use a different one.

hummm... you have a point. doable, definatly not sustainable of course.

and how much disiplin does your army actually have? i suspect the quality of troops and equipment after a civil war would be Highly variable, no?

Certain regiments, particularly those under the direct leadership of Mornov, are Veterans, well armed, expirienced, well trained. While most armies have expirience due to the war, others are poorly equipped, several are ill-trained, etc. However, I believe Candestein has quit again, so the armies ill be facing wont be much trouble.

OOC: Somewhere in Former Candestein

Soldier A: Didn't we have, like, a country a minute ago?
Soldier B: Yeah, man. All I can see now is this grey npc nation.

(Little more complicated than that. But when a country falls into anarchy for god knows what reason, the military's role shifts. Power hungry generals attempt to take control, others fall victim to bribes, thousands of soldiers simply walk away, not wanting to die for a fallen nation. Will there be resistance? Yes... will it be anything like what I would have faced had he not fallen apart? No.)

OOC: Canadstein i will be sending full support to aid you friend, expect Ostian troops to be leaving the country soon.

Your too cocky and you GODMODE, im going to crush you Kroando and i am asking the assistance of my allies aswell...

(Care to point out a single godmod in the entire attack? Usually helps to point out things instead of simply repeating yourself. And sending aid to a player that quit... does'nt make to much sense.

Your too cocky

im going to crush you Kroando

Hmmm... somthing about that just seems... funny.

OOC: So it has been confirmed that he has quit...for good?

Somewhere in Ghent

General Vincent Scarcetti sat down at the wooden table, glaring at the disturbing blood stain on the center. The rest of the dimmly lit basement did little more for the senses, rats scurried about, water leaked from the roof, paint had not seen the walls in ages... to speak of the smell was simply immpossible. However, this location was apperantly, the most secure in Hostile Belgium, and thus, it would do.

The Italian born Commander starred across the table at the old fat, former Candesteinian General, a smile growing across his face. "Well, the fact that you are here is enough to tell me that you are interested.", spoke Scarcetti, as he patted his coat pockets for somthing. "Ummm.... Johnson, cigar.", he barked at one of the guards, and quickly took, and lit the cigar, puffing on it for several minutes. "I am prepared to make you a very lucrative offer General, starting of course with a complete pardon for your role in the resistance.", Scarcetti withdrew a roll of papers and began reading from them. "The sum of 125,000 Vice shall be delivered to your new, 250 Acre estate in Southern Voltair, fully equipped with 25 slaves, four mistress' and the modern luxuries needed by any public servant. You will retire to your estate with the title of Defender of the Netherlands, and be granted the privledges of citizenship in the Republic... ah yes, ten of the finest horses in Voltair will be at your disposal... you will have quite the life sir...", Scarcetti finished offering the proposal, supremely confident it would suceed.

The Former Candesteinian grinned... "It sounds very nice... but I am afraid that the cost for betrayal, is 250,000 Vice...", the general chuckled, dimples in his face mocking the anger in Scarcetti's eyes.

"250?! Are you fuckin out of your godamned mind-...", roared the Italian... "Alright... alright... 250 it is... and for this service, your army of 10,000... it never sees the field. It is disbanded immidietly, all weapons collected, and dropped off at a point we will later relay to you. All 20 artillery pieces, 10,000 muskets, tens of thousands of rounds in ammo... powder... supplies... all of it. By god if its not there..."

"It will be there you paranoid dego... you just make sure my estate is in pristine condition when I arrive.", the General finshed his speech with a laugh, donned his winter coat, and exited the room, followed by two guards. Within a week, the General's Army had been officially disbanded, with 9/10ths of the army accepting his story that the governemnt had collapsed, and ordered complete surrender. The soldiers were not eager to die fighting for no cause at all, and went home. 1,000 others however, desserted to join up with various other fighting forces. Other attempts were made to bribe other Resistance Rebel Leaders, however, they were either to loyal, or too power hungry to give in... either way, there would have to be a fight to take the netherlands.

South-East Belgium - The Battle of Arlon

Mornov's Army had broken the border no longer than an hour ago when a combind force of Militia, Former Candesteinian Troops and Volenteers emerged to face him. Though a brave move, seeing as there were only 50,000 to stop a force of over 200,000, it was tactically foolish, a problem which would have been solved had there been more unity in the upper ranks of the military. Had the government not collapsed days earlier, it is likely that this force would have fallen back, and linked up with a larger force, with which they would stand a fighting chance against the enemy. But with little artillery, and few combat expirienced men, the battle did not look good for the Resistance.

The Former Candestein forces, though unorganized in the broad strategic sense, still had a few capable Generals, realizing they were outnumbered and without much in the way of artillery, decided to adopt a defensive stance, and to allow the enemy to march out to them, staying out of enemy artillery range. They set up lines behind farm fences, which were minimally reinforced with spare wooden parts, and slaughtered cows. They expected a bold frontal assault, such as the ones Mornov was famous for in the Voltarian Civil War. The Resistance's Line appeared formidable, over 40,000 men, mostly former soldiers stretched out in defensive positions along the fence-line, supported by 10,000 reserves, and some 15 12lber cannons, which were well behind the initial line.

Mornov was no fool, realizing that a frontal assault would cost tens of thousands of lives, he simply waited, sending some 5,000 skirmishers out into the surrounding land. They encircled the enemy, for three days attacking supply convoys, raiding villages and wreaking havoc, generally creating a state of dissaray for the enemy army, which set up camp behind their strengthened line, now possessing some dirt mounds and even more wood additions. Supplies however, especially food, was running low, forcing the enemy to slaughter the livestock for meals. One thing that went unoticed however, was the movement of Mornov's Guns. 200 12-24 pounder cannons were moved within 450 yards of the line, or where Mornov's spies said the line was. These artillery pieces however, were unseen, for the battlefield was of course, in the middle of a system of pastureland and farmland. The crops, some 6-8 feet high, blocked vision of the cannonry. Clearings of course being made so they could be set up. Some 10,000 men took up forward positions 100 yards away from the enemy line. They however, recieved no fire from the artillery, for the circumtances would prove them wasted shots... the Resistance Army wanted to save their few precious rounds for the expected charge...

At the end of the third day however, at approximatly eleven at night, a barrage opened up, all batteries unleashing hell upon the makeshift line. Explosions rocked the defences, tossing dirt and wood aside like as the primarily explosive rounds bombarded the defenders. A massive barrage ensued for some an hour and a half, all pieces firing at high speeds. By the end of the barrage, the barrels of the cannons were red hot. However it was not over... not by a long shot. Throughout the night the firing continued, however, at a much slower rate. The purpose of this fire was to not so much kill the enemy, but to keep him awake. Throughout the night, five cannons would fire one round each every minute, those cannons always being 24 pounders, thus making the largest noise and preventing the enemy from reaching any type of rest.

After a day and a half of the constant bombarding, which only got worse at night, the Resistance broke it's dicsipline, and unleashed a volley... several volleys of both cannon and musket shots at the forward forces of Mornov's Army. These men were well out of range of musket, and their positions in runoff lanes defended against cannon. The attack was one of frustration and anger... its effects were minimal. This only brought more fire from the Voltarian Artillery, which pounded the enemy mercilessly. By the morning of the fourth day, when the barrage seemed to be over, one shot landing every few minutes, the line was mush. Few segments of the fence still stood. Where mounds of earthworks once were, there were craters. Where cow corpses once were, there were random human limbs. Fire still burned pieces of wood as over 30,000 of the original 40,000 were either dead or wounded. With those 10,000 survivors having little food, water or motivation. The Resistance immdietly called up the reserves, made up mainly of militia and volenteers. Initially, they jumped up, confident. However, when those 10,000 farmers with guns reached the line, they saw hell at its finest. Earth torn limb from limb... men torn limb from limb. Fire. Blood. Agony. Death... all to men whom had never before expirienced true warfare, or anything greater than a hunting trip. And to make it worse, ~10,000 forward Voltarian Soldiers had begun marching towards the enemy line, followed by some 30,000 more from behind. The sun was rising in the east, casting a bright glaze over the enemy line, blinding many whom had been in such horrid conditions for so long. Then came the final touch, Mornov's Icing as it came to be called. A barrage of artillery fire. Not a great barrage, but a solid volley spread out over the period of two minutes. The reserves stood at the edge of camp, looking into the sun as it glistened from their comrades blood, looking into the eyes of tens of thousands of determined, war hardened soldiers. Looking into the eyes of an artillery barrage... looking into the eyes of death. Within minutes, all but 1,000 reserves fled, running directly away from the fight, towards the forest.

The remaining men, some 10,000 total were determined to fight till the bitter end. Disorganized, and deprived of sleep, food and water, they stood in a conjunction of broken lines, firing without order at the steadily approaching enemy as solid shot cannon balls landed around them, mixed in with various explosive shots. The lines fired out of unison, usually without an officer (most being dead), with a shattered valiant effort. Once the lines of Voltarian Soldiers reached firing range, a volley of one thousand rounds was fired, followed by ten more, these volleys of course were spread out, broken up to deal with the various enemy lines. It was not long untill the field was taken, those who did not flee, surrendered. Many whom chose to flee, simply collapsed due to exhaustion, leaving themselves open to capture.

Those reserves that fled earlier however, did not save themselves. They ran into some 3,000 skirmishers deployed throughout the forest, ambushing the disorganized enemy to no end, killing some 2,000 (no prisoners taken by skirmishers) and leaving some 1,500 more wounded. At the end of the day, some 4,500 Voltarians fell, while the entire army of 50,000 Resistance Fighters was left either dead, captured or fleeing without desire to ever fight again. News of the defeat spread like wildfire throughout the former Candesteinian Netherlands, mostly due to Voltarian Insurgents and Messengers spreading the information of the 'Entire Resistance Army Being Defeated'. Moral for the cause of the resistance dropped dramatically, many volenteers and militia desserted. Many regulars fled... the psychological impact of being surrounded on all sides by the enemy was not a good one.

OOC: My country doesn't exist meaning it never did. So can you please remove my country name. You are attacking another country's territory. The Canadstein government didn't collaspe because it never existed. Also you cannot really do that since it is some what of a god mod because someone should be handing the other countries troops. Also it will not be easy because this government will have a government. You cannot control your enemies army so your going to have to get someone to do that.

(You quit. Which means there was a government, and it collapsed. If the USA just 'quit' being a country, does that mean it never existed? No. You cannot de-exist somthing. You cannot change what has already been done. Just because somthing does'nt exist does'nt mean it never did exist. By that logic, WWII does not currently exist, therefor, it never existed... real logical. You surrendered via anarchy, I am simply trying to make it interesting instead of simply claiming everything you lost. And please, the RP I put up is better than anything you would've done anyways based on what ive seen so far. Again, this is for thread members only, unless you are currently active in the RP, keep out of the thread.

*And anyways, from what I have seen in the rules thread, you can RP NPC enemies to a certain extent.)

OOC: O lord..it's rather Embarassing for his country name to fall to you Kronado when it was never there as of when he gave notice. I don't think it is right for you to continue to invade a country that don't exist..

(There is no 'i' in the word 'embarrassing'. And it Kroando, not Kronado. Also, if that was meant to say my RP'ing ability is less than his, or yours for that matter... we'll, you're just being silly.

I don't think it is right for you to continue to invade a country that don't exist..

*Doesn't exist. And did the Nazi's stop invading France when it's government collapsed? Because the Third Republic of France fell apart, did that mean the Germans could no longer invade? Your logic... it makes no sense whatsoever.)

I see your point but must argue still, it is not the same situation...

The Siege of Bastogne

For two solid weeks Mornov's second army bombarded Bastogne, housing some 12,000 troops. Heavy artillery which seemed never to stop firing, pounded the city into submission. Food was non-existant, forcing the population to eat rats. Morale was dead, Bastogne was just to be another roadmark on the path to ultimate Voltarian Victory. Shells detonated in the streets, buildings were leveled. The trapped soldiers dared not move towards the enemy, for they were heavily entrenched. And they knew that if they turned and fled into the forest, as many had tried, they would be taken out by ambush parties and skirmishers. After two weeks, the white flag was raised, and Voltarian Soldiers marched through the crater lined streets.

Of the 12,000 Resistance, all but 4,000 had fallen, along with 13,000 dead civilians. The city was tired, exhausted, hungry and defeated. The siege ended, but not without a costly price in human blood... and multitudes of explosive shells. The 75,000 men involved in this siege broke up. 5,000 stayed in Bastogne, supervising the reconstruction effort, basically serving as a police force until order could be established. The other 70,000 moved Northeast, securing small villages and rooting out rebel camps and fortifications. Being heavily wooded area, the force broke into skirmish formations.

As Mornov heard of the end of the siege, the white flag at Dinant was raised. After a series of unorganized encounters, the Resistance, some 7,500 in all, were broken by concentrated artillery fire and hard line assaults consisting of tens of thousands of men. The Rebel Commanders had forsaken the south in attempts to consolidate strength in the North... however, to little avail. With the fall of Dinant, Mornov ordered his forces forward, to the Sambre Line. The key defensive line of the Former Candesteinian Army. With over 78,000 men and 75 artillery pieces, they were dug in behind the Sambre River, ready to fight to the bitter end. Mornov began setting up on the other side, waiting for his artillery from Bastogne.

In the North West, a series of Candesteinian Victories over Skirmishing forces was immidietly ended with General Wood's Spring Campaign. A force of 125,000 men knocked down seven consecutive Rebel Armies, all of various sizes (10,000-25,000), forcing all rebels to flee deeper into the country. Though victorious, Wood's paid a dear price of 18,000 men, killing a little more than half of that with his victories. With resistance on the run, Tornei, Kortijk and leper fell within a week.

The Northern Campaign had broken down into a complete Skirmish War. With the enemy refusing to fight on open field both in Belgium and the Netherlands, Voltarian Forces were forces to break into smaller regiments to fight their awkward foe. Constant engagements, favoring niether side ensued for months, the Imperial Army paying dearly for every yard taken.

The war was going well, extremely well infact... but it was nowhere near fast enough for Mornov's Blitz Ideology... in his mind, the more time spent in Belgium was less time for him to spend in other places... such as Madrid, Rome and Warsaw.

The Battle of the Sambre

Some three weeks after the conclusion of the siege on Bastogne, Mornov's entire army had been deployed on the south side of the Sambre River, immidietly caught under heavy fire from several hundred light artillery pieces. This suprise barrage was matched by a heavier volley of 28lb cannons, lobbing massive explosive shells at enemy positions. For six days the fire fight continued, with both sides draining their precious stores of ammunition. However, over these six days, the heavily outnumbered Resistance allowed itself to be encircled from behind. Some 120,000 men under General Charles Gates took up positions behind the enemy force, cutting supply lines and their only chance at retreat. The Voltarian Guns under Mornov fell silent, while those under Gates awoke, blasting mercilessly at the fortifications of the enemy. For three more days the onslaught continued, untill finally, the strongheaded, hotblooded, General Wesley of the Grand Resistance, ordered the attack. It had no chance at sucess, and he had to have twelve commanding officers removed from duty due to insubordination before he could organize it. The assault involved his men launching a full blown assault across the river. In shallow area's, his men would waid the waters... in deeper areas, they were to take boats. But before long, it began.

Late in the night, the resistance mounted their assault. Moving slowly across the river, they were spotted before they had made it ten yards in. Flares caught onto their positions, which had already been determined by the multitude of torches seen from Voltarian Scouts. Mornov emptied the remainder of his artillery into the river, digging old solid shot cannon balls from the ground and firing them into the river, currently filled with some 60,000 men, 30,000 of which were floating across in various rafts and boats. Matchwood was made of these devices, as explosion after explosion rocked the enemy, leaving ranks of infantry to fire musket shot into the men in the water. As they held their weapons above their heads attempting to keep them dry, lines upon lines of men fired their weapons into the water, cutting down hundreds by the minute. Those wounded quickly drowned, and those that made it ashore met grape shot from 12lb cannons. By morning, 45,000 lay dead or wounded, the rest attempting to crawl back to their camp. However they returned to a camp under siege, as Gates took the opportunity and attacked with everything he had. The lines, already weakened from constant pounding, were now reinforced with tired, beaten, malnourished soldiers, who were forced to fire at an enemy as shells rained upon them. By the end of the day, the Sambre line was all but disinigrated, costing gates some 9,000 Casualties, Mornov som 3,000... and the Resistance over 50,000. Prisoners were taken, sent off to forced labor camps in the east, in many cases sold off as slaves to slave traders to help pay for the enormous cost of the war.

In the weeks that followed, the Resistance lost all heart it had formerly possessed. Volenteers threw down their arms and went back to their farms, hoping retribution would not follow. The cities of Mons, Brugge, Hasseit and Antwerp fell to assault after assault, costing both sides dearly in blood. Ghent had come under seige, with the people eager to avoid the fate of Bastogne, they surrendered in three weeks, exiling the 7,000 defenders inside, whom were quickly overwhelmed by skirmishing forces from all sides. Brussels was to be the last stand. Thousands flocked to the city, from all over, they hoped to make a glorious last stand, however, the Voltarians too took advantage, sending some 20,000 Non-Uniformed Skirmishers to head into the city, and pose as Resistance Fighters, starting the attack from within. Mornov and his array of Generals began closing in on the city, knocking out the obstacles hastily placed before them as they began to gather supplies for the last assault.

Meanwhile, in the north, Mornov had ordered all reserves into the fray of Skirmish Warfare. He knew tactics would be useless in this type of forest fighting, that they had not the strength to continue for long... simply pouring in the remaining 30,000 Reinforcements should hasten the downfall of the former Candesteinian Netherlands.

Keep it up, and we will MT invade your country...
