IC thread here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=493945)
Note: Since the moderators do not want us to invade International Lesbians, though there exists a hatred for it, we are calling the lands "the disputed territories." Through the use of some relativley sophisticated cloning technology, the dezines of the disputed territories are entirely lesbian women. There are no men on the island itself, and with no diplomatic recognition for any nation, it is ripe for the taking.

This is an open land grab. Each box on the map represents a 100 square mile patch of terrain. If you do land force/claim land, please specify the grid(s) that you are referring to. Again, this is wide open.

Officially: The island is in a prime location north of the equator. Being an island, temperatures are somewhat moderated, though it is rather warm. It is also large, yet has a small indigeonous population of lesbians. With the idea that there may be useable natural resources, this makes it a good choice for an open land grab.

Unofficially: The guy who made this nation made 117+ other nations. in one day. and RPed them all. for one day. This annoyed a great amount of people, and most of us wanted to invade him. The idea came for a land grab, followed by a (somewhat realistic) war. The mods didn't like us doing this to an actual country, so we are calling it "the disputed territories."

Dibs on a bunch of religious whackos (not the Ehznoists for those who remember them, these are new religious whackos) raising hell all over the place. The best part is, they're not seeking to accomplish anything, violence and warfare are ends in themselves.

Ah. I'm so tempted to jump in and try to save them but my military is pathetic.

I don't think he made them all in one day.

Aeson, go right ahead. Just take a small section and spread your wacko religion among the eventual inhabitants of the island. And even if it wasn't in one day, it was still hella annoying.

Oh they're not here to spread their religion, they're just here to make sure war happens. In fact, here's a quick explanation.

My religion is based kinda off of Norse mythology. One of the themes in Norse mythology is that those who die in battle will fight again in Raganorak on the side of the gods. These guys are trying to assure that the gods win Raganorak by making sure as many people as possible die in battle, see?

Ah, that makes sense. I'm imagning that this will start out relativley peacefully, but will eventually border skirmishes will evolve into a limited yet brutal war.

Yep. So I'm going to be all over the place. Probably going to be mostly using the female warrior wing of the whacko religious sect, known (surprise surprise) as Valkyries so they can blend in to the native populace when needed.

What native populance? I'm probably going to kill 90% of them and enslave the rest.

In your section. Besides, does your nation have a grudge against lesbians?

I'll sign on.

You sigged me, Valley. I hadn't noticed. Now I feel special.

Anywho, are you going to be using Drows here?

no, just nations made entirely of lesbians (and nations that have a princess generica seeking mate! advertisements) and other stereotypical bullshit nations.

I was thinking of a few Dwarves ^^

Of course I'm using Drow. We'll only do night strikes on small areas and deploy Sword Spiders to slaughter settlements. Not a lot you can do to those suckers except hide, their exoskeleton is tough as nails.

Well...

You could, you know, shoot them.

Waste of ammo. Sword Spiders would be more...Drowish.

No, I meant you could shoot the Sword Spiders.

Oh. You think us stupid? We'd armor them. Makes them a bit slower, but Sword Spiders would still be able to outrun a fleeing citizen. Unless they're an Olympic Runner or something, then they might lose one.

Well, you must have upgraded your armor since you attacked that bar...

Seriously, armoring them heavily enough to make them bulletproof would make them quite a bit slower, I think. And then they just need a bigger gun.

You don't need to penetrate armor, just hit it. the force of a 6.8 remington SPC from my service rifle will still break a few bones, even if it doesn't penetrate the armor.

I want also to enter in the landgrab, since I need subjects for my medical studies.... I need to take the more native lesbians I can get, in fact.

Anyway, I still want to help. There can only be one.

Talk to him then.

Well it wasn't stereotypical when you did it, was it?

Wait, you are the original, right?

Meh, I'm still going to help. I'll write up stats later, but you can count on at least 250 ships and 600,000 troops from The Reich to help this along.

I've seen MT nations use somewhat exaggerated creatures in my previous nations. If you wish, however, I will refrain from using them. Not like LI will mind. Your call.

I'd like to think so, yes. Even if I am not, I think I know the person that made all these other lesbian nations, and I think he did so just so he could "interact" with my own.

Like Toc, I think he's someone from around 05'. He was originally Rommelwood, where he created a bunch of "Princess looking for husband" threads. People got mad at his RPing style, and he left.

valley, as long as they aren't overly godmoddish, go right ahead.

For everyone else: whats wrong with a good ole fashioned landgrab/war?

It's little less than using a tiger to kill prisoners or something like that.

It's little less than using a tiger to kill prisoners or something like that.

So not gonna use them in actual battle?

Anybody mind if I use some tactical nukes against International Lesbians?

First the landgrab (and for me also subjectgrab), then the war... or may be I could leave the war for others, I need that natives for my investigations, also I could try to find poor nations and do there the studies, but the idea of unleashing chaos and destruction and take as many "enemies" or "refugees" I can get sounds better.....

i mind Tocrowkia if you use tactical nukes, for that could damage my playthings.....

Yes, since nukes are political weapons, not weapons of war. Fallout is a major issue. Just use napalm (like I do) or MOABs instead. Monte, its open, just grab a grid square (or an island) and feel free to experiment.

Actually, TACTICAL Nukes are weapons of war.

Do you mind if I ask for quadrants D6 and 7 and E 6, that´s a good location for my "safe zone" (since it´s too tough to call it "experimentation zone" )

Any nuke is a war weapon with an important political connotation, it would do better if you used napalm, Tocrowkia. but I ask all of you to be caritative with that poor souls (at least as long as I could get them for my drug studies)....

Napalm isn't as fun, nor as much as an abuse against humanity.

Nukes are technically fun stuff but I care about the life of the poor experimentation subj.... errrrrrrrr poor citizens of that mismanaged territories

Please? It's my territory! :(

So not gonna use them in actual battle?
In the beginning and as we go inwards towards the coastal settlements, yes, but once we have a frontline, we'll use them to hunt down people.

FYI, I'm on the northern 2 islands.

I don´t really care about the territory, I care about the potential experimentation subjects in there, actually...

I think we've scared this guy off of NS for good. Oh well. ;)

Nukes!

No nukes, for I need healthy natives to experiment with....

Or at least, no nukes in the land that I grab....

Thinking better, the nukes could leave irradiated alive people that probabibly would develope cancer (and anticancer therapy is an interesting field)... well, thinking better any one is free to do what he wants in the land they take... ;)

Oh! I know! We'll make money by sending reporters!

Oh! I know! We'll make money by sending reporters!
We amke money by plundering! We're like pirates now! Yar!

Oh, and now's a good time to start your attacks. I've invaded teh north 2 islands, so I've made a distraction enough for you guys, as I'm about to go face-to-face with their military, so the northern areas of the main island have fewer soldiers to deal with.

Another fun stuff to do with the little poor lesbian stereotypes is throwing cluster bombs.... nothing better that the chaos and destruction that hundreds of cluster bombs leave behind (specially in tropical areas with fast burning trees :p ), well, apart from nukes, obviously...

Meh, I like enslaving the survivors, myself. We need slaves.

Again, :(

Maybe I'll invade you afer this.

Hey, is someone else gonna post on this thing?

I'll do it later.

what? I think a repeated copy of something isn´t a good thoing, that´s all....

I nuked em' anyway. :D

i'm going to start landing forces after the next 2 or 3 people post (gotta love fluid time!)

Monte: neutron bombs were non-radiation leaving bombs that could pass through metal, making them good for killing the crews of tanks without actually destroying the armor. If tocrowkia used large ones, his planes would have died as well. That and I don't think this nation has "columns of armor" to begin with, its rather poor.

And it leaves no choice for me other than abandoning the war.... I don´t have enough soldiers lives to spare and after the nukes, there won´t be my much needed playthings, so I have to go to plan B: offer medical aid to poor undeveloped countries.... :(

Just take the north. :p Anyway, Aeson i'd love it if your guys were attacking the same hotel the rest of my camera crew was in.

Girls, actually. But sure. You want to be on a higher floor and therefore trapped or a lower floor and therefore being evacuated?

Yeahm but with the worldf today i think it´s cheaper for me the plan B.... And my nation isn´t in fact rich, it only has its needs sattisfied, a war is too expensive for now.

That were neutron bombs? Sorry, I didn´t read the post well enough, however, the massive killings (are they nuclear or not) would reduce drastically the experimentation subjects...

Give me a grid coordinate, i'll be sending a few V-22's to land to sieze a town to act as a stable base!

Monte: they have no standardized army, having less than 10,000,000 people. That would be like New York City having a major army. Just treat the neutrons as being large conventional explosives and sieze an island instead :)

Yeah, thanks, but I´m not greedy for land, well my nation can´t be greedy for land because it is a very nationalistic antiimperialist south american socialist state (and I have varied it from a better managed Cuba to a socialist democracy that has some love for Trostkyist theories), so it would better if I retreated and tried to test my drugs by the more boring way: international charity projects.

isn't jolt just sucking today?

You know, nukes would make teh whole island light up like day, and that wouldn't make our sensitive skin very comfortable...

Girls, actually. But sure. You want to be on a higher floor and therefore trapped or a lower floor and therefore being evacuated?
Higher and trapped.

Kay. Just make a post about them hearing gunshots. I'll probably be headed upstairs soon, so...

I'm landing rangers in the town housing your motel, so it will be like a "first contact" type of thing.

Tokrowkia, can you post what grids you are attacking? i'm inferring this is to the southeast, i'm invading from the north-west, and Valley is attacking from the northeast. Is this accurate?

Grids A through D

can you give a range(like, say, A7:E6)? And realize that you'll end up hitting heavy amounts of my forces in the coming ns "week."

No. I'm just in the top parts in all of those grids.

Basically, I'm attacking the offshore islands in the north and you're attacking the main island, correct? Because I don't want a clash between anyone's forces, but I'll fight to keep my islands, and if you're watching the news, your men won't WANT to.

ah, so Tocrowkia and Valley are in the same area as my rangers... that'd be interesting.

Valley: my usually strategy is massive combined arms, preceeded by large firebombing raids. Is it wrong for me to think of that part of starship troopers where they tried to take the base in the canyon?

Um...I wouldn't know, seeing as I haven't seen that stupid movie in about five years.

I just ask: Am I going to wind up fighting you? Or Tocrowkia, fo that matter? Because this has become a publicity stunt as much as a land grab for me.

depends, i don't really want to have to take the northern islands. However, it will turn into an all out war after the initial landgrab is over (I think, it would be interesting if there was an island with 3 or 4 different nations and as many species WITHOUT a war).

Free/Aeson, i think the town I've dropped a company into is the same as the one your men are... have fun :)

We would stay out of everyone else's business as much as possible, save to hire out as mercs in your fights. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

What exploded if I may ask?

I'll get involved in this, I did post saying so on the original thread...anyone in the south-west of the main island?

As far as I can tell, everyone involved so far is on the northern two islands. But I've got my whacko religious people all over the place.

Free: I think the Aeson was throwing grenades into rooms. Skgorria, i'm pretty much going to be hitting most of the western seaboard. I don't think anyone's expressed interest in the south east though.

He was trying to yes, but they couldn't budge my group's door.

Free, just to clarify (speaking as a volly fireman with some experience), interior doors open into the room, especially in a hotel. Rather than bash the door in, the breaching team broke the lock and hindges. They then broke a hole in the door, and turned it 90* to gain leverage before physically pulling the door into the hallway. Since the hotel isn't exactly the richest place (its a fairly poor nation afterall), the door would fit the profile of most cheap doors: two veneers of oak/pine/other wood with a softcore filling, making it easy for a competent strong man to rip it apart.

Yes, but they where trying to open it wish bashing force that was being absorbed by the dresser and the bed.
I=Door D=Dresser H=bed
IDDDHHH

Hence the damage to the door was superficial. Assume the dresser is larger then the door for plot device purposes. Anyway, a determined attack is going to get through, it'd just take awhile (I.E. no kicking the door open) Your last post was pretty accurate however, I'll work from it.

I'm just saying how we'd use hand tools to breach a door that had an obstruction on the other side yet didn't have a brace bolted to it (i.e. 4 iron L-shaped brackets holding a thick piece of wood across the jam, prevent the door from being opened at all. Alot of stores use them (kind of like a huge doorjam)).

I know, have your guys react to the RPG will you? It'll be easier if I know the situation my guys are up against to decide whether or not they run.

Aeson: a shot to a liquid armor helmet, especially in the back, would hurt. It might stun the soldier and maybe knock him out, but pistol ammuniton would most likely be absorbed. A shot to the chest of a soldier with combined kevlar/dragonskin armor going through an adreneline rush would hurt, but not even knock him down (field tests IRL showed an 7.62 rifle failing to penetrate the armor at a range of 15 feet.)

Remember, they're not trying to win, they're trying to die gloriously.

Good point. I'd say knife fight at this point, but that'd be unfair :P

Especially considering the only one left alive has lost a hand, a fair amount of blood, and probably broken a couple of bones.

I was contmeplating a knife fight with Free Sheepmagans before your rangers barged in.

Specs of a Ranger Platoon (might as well):
40 Men broken into fireteams of 5 men each
6 Standard Fireteams:
All armed with the Fabrique Nationale FiveseveN pistol
2 Men are armed with a Steyr Aug A3 rifle/sub machine gun chamered to 6.8mm SPC http://www.steyr-mannlicher.com/uploads/pics/G8HB0593_01.jpg
1 Man is designated as a grenadier, and has an A3 armed with a grenade launcher. He carries 2 incenedary grenades, 2 HE grenades, and 2 flash-bang grenades. http://www.steyr-mannlicher.com/uploads/pics/G8HB0508_01.jpg
1 Man is a designated Marksman. He carries an accurized A3 to act as a light sniper. A ranger, in the event of assaulting an urban area, would also carry a Franchi Spas-15, and would have breaching rounds in addition to regular buckshot. http://www.steyr-mannlicher.com/uploads/pics/G8HB0564_01.jpg, http://www.urban-armory.com/spas15.htm
The last man is the light machine gunner, and carries a M-249 SAW rechambered to the 6.8 SPC. http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/m249-short-saw.gif (the short Saw is usually not used, just couldn't find a good picture of a long saw)

The last 2 fireteams are usually heavy weapons teams.
1 Rifleman using a Steyr Aug A3 acting as a spotter
1 Sniper using either an HK-MSG 90 or a Barret XM500 50 cal sniper rifle http://world.guns.ru/sniper/sn73-e.htm http://remtek.com/arms/hk/mil/msg90/msg90.htm

1 Anti-air specalist, armed with a starstreak dual-purpose anti-vehicle anti-air missile
1 Support specalist armed with an M249 Saw

Hope that is of use to anyone


All men carry at least 4 grenades, and an M9 bayonet. All men, especially rangers, are trained to be at least an EMT-CC, and most are qualified as an EMT-P, in addition to usual combat certifications. http://www.agrussell.com/var/storage/original/image/phpiP7tjR.jpg

Can you give me specs on that liquid armor, for future reference?

Don't have a formal write up, but i'll copy/paste what i had in the NS draftroom:

Body armor:
Kevlar Based Body Armor/Helmet treated with STF (Liquid armor. The chestpiece is a tri-layer of treated kevlar/spectra blend treated with STF and reinforced by titanium based dragon skin. This produces a light-weight yet strongly impact resistant armor.

The Uniform is made of kevlar/spectra in a tri layer treated with STF. this produces a flexible light weight yet impact resistant soft armor without the usual drawbacks of soft-armor.

Layer of padding based on underarmor to allow the system to breathe.

Layer below the padding designed to expand toward and constrict around any bleeding wounds. (not sure about this).

Combat boots would be reinforced with liquid armor to allow for better shock absorbtion, especially for droptroops.

The Helmet would be the most advanced part, and would have an outer shell made of this liquid armor. A small projector would project information directly into the soldier's eye, giving him information on the enviornment, applicable objectives, location of squad mates (through short range GPS), tactical level/WAN level communications, etc. Night vision would be handled through minature sensors all around the helmet. The way the projector works (the US military expects this by 2020), it could allow 360* vision.
Each squad leader has a PDA capable of feeding to and receiving from a JSTAR like uplink, allowing for better integration with air support, as well as allow higher echelons to transmit orders/information more clearly. The helmet would also have an integrated gasmask (dual semi-permable filter system, allowing it to be used amphibiously if needed).
For special applications, such as stealth or scout-sniper type missions, the helmet need not be used. Load bearing system would be based on the conventional ALICE, and the uniform itself would similar to the patter of either an ADU or a BDU.

Has anyone claimed the E1/E2 islands yet?

I'm still pondering if I can justify sending a small force to set up a safe zone for the civilians, governed by Shepmagan law of course.

Free: try the islands by F4 or E6. My bombers razed an area diagnoally from A6/b6 to C2:C4. Troops will be landing from major airlift at an airfield in B4 (1 corps, 10 divisions). The navy will be landing along the western seaboard near the town in D2 for a push to the south (basically, i want to take Row 2 sans the island, D2:D4, C4:C7, B5:B7, and A5:A6 (we'll fight over it during the actual war war)). Aeson has chaotic splinter cells pretty much all over the place.

Free: why'd you delete it? it worked good from a different perspective :)

Aeson, i'll write it out later, but you partially collapsed a building containing about 30 of my men (20 on the roof going down, another 10 checking the interior hallways). I might be contradicting myself with IC writing, but i'll adjust it if I do.

Because you said your guys pushed them out of the way, it conflicted. My army is PMT, so I'll wait for you to say "yay or nay" before I send them in.

PMT and MT usually mix pretty well, so go right ahead. Nothing I'm not using, and certaintly nothing anyone else won't be using.

Sorry for the delay, my computer desk just broke, the shelf supporting my keyboard/mouse is now being held together by two twistie ties (like you get off bags of sliced bread) it's rather sad...

I'll post again in a few hours to let the other people involved with the RP say what they are doing. We'll leave it understood that i've airlifted an entire corps (2 armored divisions, 2 light divisions, 4 mechanized divisions, 2 air assault divisions) that is setting up light military installations (i.e. static turrent-mounted manpad missiles to act as forward supply dumps/housing) in B3, C3, B4 (mostly around the razed areas that still have some decent paving left and a large enough airstrip for heavy landing). When I post next, i'll update the troop numbers (possibly close to 500 ships and 4 armies (or 8 corps).

I'm so lost.

I'm so lost.
Heh. I think the only island left now is at F4 on the map (http://web.bentley.edu/students/k/krug_Jona/invasion%20map.jpg) .

*The Silver Sky goes about schemeing with Aralonia, Whyatica and Velkya

Tokrowkia, hit the norteast, that area is largely uncontested, and if you move west, you'll make contact with my forces. TSS: bastard.

TSS: bastard.
:) Yes?

I'm going to land on the E1/E2 islands soon, so can I ask who is already there?

I've started a map with the North claims on it (Towcrowkia, me, and MdE) but someone else will have to do teh rest.

I hope it's accurate.
Edit: ImageShack's being a beotch. I'll post it l8er.

Whyt: I am. You don't want to screw with my guys, they're warmed up.

Edit2: Got ImageShriek to work.

Lemme give it a shot in photoshop (using layers and what not!)

Ok, i had to take a few liberties (like moving tocrowkia to the east of the island), but it now has color designations. Here they are:
Mer des Ennuis Pure Red 255-0-0
Valley of the Giants Dodger Blue 30-145-255
Tokrowkia Olive Drab 107-142-35
Skgorria Sienna 160-82-45
Free shepmagans Medium Violet Red 199-21-133
Velkya Navajo White 255-222-173

And the map is here: http://web.bentley.edu/students/k/krug_jona/invasion%20map%20-%20with%20colors.png

If anyone has a problem, let me know, and i can easily fix it. A better version of the color codes is available on page 1.

Whytica-Thank you for not invading my islands. I didn't want to clash with anyone else. Maybe not until later, anyway.

OOC: Hey Valley, what military forces do you have on your current island?

They're not big, only about 360. We're not bothering anyone, and I don't want to confront anyone here. Please don't invade my islands. We'll probably wind up making you a deal anyways.

That's SIC by the way. The other nations barely know I'm there. Well, not anymore, anyways...

You have to be fucking kidding me. I have gained ALOT more territory than that. My gains are comparable to your own.

SIC? And 360 personal?

Nobody knows how many I have. And yes, 360 of my own forces. Those islands aren't very big.

Tocrowkia, i'll flesh you out a tad more. let me know if its more suitable for you. (is that a problem that you are on the eastern seaboard instead of the western?)

Tocrowkia, i fleshed out pretty much all land areas to show either more troops landing or the troops that are there expanding. does this work for you?

Yes, where I am doesn't matter to me. I just want land.

If that's the edit you did, then no, I am still not content. You are giving your self these huge chunks of land while I get the puny little places. Perhaps you don't realize the extent of my invasion forces? I captured pretty much the entire eastern/southern part of the island, stretching from B to D 5.

No, I did not realize how many men you had, since you never specified numbers. i chose the somewhat logical path of following rivers up to their headwaters. How many men do you have? what kind of equipment are they using, and are they just pushing forward or actually setting up field bases as they move?

What's the population of this place then?

Hmm. Now here's a dillemma. I'm going to have the Valkyries organize some random city to resist the attackers. But who's path should said city be in?

You're more than welcome to place it in my way, I have an ace up my sleeve for this place anyway...

Done.

Skgorria: 6 million pre invasion, probably down to 4 or 5 million at this point.

A highly trained, highly mobile force of 600,000 troops and several thousand armored vehicles. Half are pushing forward, while the other half are staying behind to set up bases and the like. I know I told everyone that before this thing started.

OOC: Hey what are your guys military assets in the area? Could you like post a rough outline of what you have on the island at this point so its easy for everyone to know what they are going up against. Thanks. :)

Space union: 7 corps right now, eventually moving up to 16 totaling 160 divisions (70 divisions in region right now thanks to a major sealift and continous major airlifts).

Please link me when you do so to the post.

It seems a shame that my part in this RP is going to end like this, but I am no longer having fun being involved in this. I am no longer gaining any enjoyment from this anymore, so I don't see any reason to carry on. If certain people had acted with a little more decorum it could maybe have been different, but it's too late now.

fuck this shit, i'm out. have fun.

What happened?

Tocrowkia, i'll happily RP with you any time. However, check your TG.

I didn't do anything wrong did I?

OOC: If you don't know what happened don't worry.

In light of what I have seen, I too have decided to to vacate this RP. I don't have the desire to another Me vs Everyone else war. My invasion happened. And as far as I'm concerned, this entire thing, both IC and OOC, never happened.

Unless someone wants to try and make a deal of it, I'm keeping my assets.

Me as well. I like the idea of a fortified little island. I have a suggestion. Since the two major peeps are out and the guy in brown (can't spell his name) is leaving how about we divy up the island into three equal parts belonging to each party? *you me and Velkya*

naw shepmagans, your good, don't worry about it.

Oh I forgot TSS. I'll just go through the thread and see who's entitled to land. *goes to see*

Hm...Yeah, I guess I could take some land.

Ok, these are the people who are entitled to land. (if we don't limit it to people who actually landed.)
Free Shepmagans

Valley of the Giant

Velkya (If they want)

The Silver Sky (if they want, not sure if they ever landed)

Whyatica(didn't seem to land)

Arlonia (no landfall as far as I can tell)

The Aeson(We can give his extremists... something I suppose)

I think we should limit it to people who landed, but that's just me...

So who here (Besides The valley of the giant and me) wants land? We need to get it all worked out. :)

We were intending to fight for /all/ of the land.

In that case, carry on. If you can make sense of any of it that is...
