The Wanderjarian Carrier Battlgroup sailed into the Persian Gulf. Before troops landed on the ground, they would need to deploy their airwing to dispatch the coastal defense guns and other military installations.

Admiral Mikil Reinhardt, a veteran of several Wanderjarian Wars, was in the ships TACOPS room, with Marine and Naval Aviation commanders.

He spoke first. "Well, our first move has to be taking down the Coastal battaries before we even get close to Beiraq."

The Naval Aviation Officer replied, "We can easily arrange that. We'll have EA-6 aircraft fly with them, jamming their radar systems. Once there, we'll smart bomb the battaries with everything they've got, and return to the Carrier."

"A sound plan." The Admiral said.

"Yes, though it will inform our enemies of our arrival," The Marine Brigadier said.

The Naval Aviator nodded, taking another drink of coffee. "Thats true," He finally said. "But we'll give you close air support, and keep them back. We can handle it."

"Alright then." Admiral Reinhardt said. "Thats the plan. Deploy 50 Fighter Bombers from each carrier. And make sure those EA-6s jam their Radar.

And as they were ordered, the F/A-18s spewed forth, along with the EA-6 Electronic Jamming aircraft, and set a course for Beiraq's Coast.

The Beiraqi Air Force had kept a permanent flight on patrol over the gulf at all times. 10 MiG-21's were on routine patrol, when the blips came in, as well as reports of unidentified aircraft from fishing boats and the Al Uboor patrol boats around the gulf. Immediatly, the MiG's called for back up and went out to engage the enemy. Quickly, each MiG loosed 4 AA-8 Aphid missiles, and pulled away. On the ground, the entire Beiraqi air force was scrambled, and word was sent to Griffincrest forces about the incoming fighters. 25 L-20's were the first into the skies, and quickly blasted skywards to assist the MiG's. The rest of the fighters were not to far behind.

On the ground, SA-11 and Brom batteries sprung to life. Keep in mind, each battery is more than 1 system, and contains 4 dual missile launchers and a radar/IR truck. The first 3 Brom batteries tore to life, spewing 24 missiles at mach 1 flying towards the Wanderjarian fleet.

Wing Commander Johan Edward cursed.

"Ah hell," He said. "They launched SAMs at us. All units, deploy ATA Missles at those enemy aircraft. Keep chaff and flares

ready to confuse the SAMs."

"Roger that Lead." The men echoed.

They each fired two Air to Air Missles, 200 missles in all, at the enemy aircraft. The enemy ATA missles slammed into 20 fighters shortly after, though the others were able to get away.


The SAMs approached, and as they neared, the Wanderjarians deployed Flares, while the EA-6 Jamming systems worked on destroying the SAM Missiles sensors.

OOC: O boy Beiraq what did you do. I'm gone fora day, and all sorts of things happen. You get invaded, Xeno brings back an old war. Settle this one first. It will be fun beating up ol' Wandy

IC: The Griffincrest commander recieved word of the incoming Wanderjarian attack, and immediatly ordered all units ready to roll south towards the gulf. He also ordered 75 Gnats to the sky to support the Beiraqi assault on the enemy aircraft. The Gnats rocket pods were upgraded, and they now held 2 AIM-120 AMRAAM's. In minutes, the Gnats would be within missile range, and the 150 missile barrage would more than likely destroy the Wanderjarian offensive. 50 more Gnats were scrambled, and put on patrolsin case another wave came while the Gnats were returning to base.

OOC: Didn't you read my post Blackhelm? I have EA-6s flying with me. Your Radars will have no clue I'm coming.

I never mentioned RADAR, did I? The Beiraqi general alerted my forces of your position. It is mentioned in his post.

Ok, but you're aircraft will have a hell of a time finding me, since they'd have to be in visual range. And if you come within my Radar range, I'll blast your gnats out of the sky ;)

OOC: Waiting for Beiraq

I did not fire SAM's yet. Brom's are anti-ship cruise missiles. I fired a wave of 40 ATA missiles at you. I'd expect more than one fighter to be hit.

(OOC: 40? I read 4. If you meant 40, change it, because it says 4.)

10 MiG's, 4 missiles each. That is 40.

Thus, the beauty of the AMRAAM. The pilots give it your speed and general location, and it finds you. The Gnats then get to go on flying from far away and having tea.

10 MiG's, 4 missiles each. That is 40.

Oh! I'm sorry. I thought you meant you launched 4 missles period. Sorry man, I'll edit it.

No problem.

The Wanderjarian Navy read the cruise missles coming.


"All hands! Battlestation!" Was the cry. Each of the Lord Class Destroyers responded with anti-missle systems, sending four missles each, 28 in all, at the enemy missles.


Meanwhile, Aegis Cruisers prepared to handle any surviving missiles.


As soon as the anti-missle missles were away, the Lord Class Destroyers responded with two Tomahawk Cruisemissles bound for the Coastal Gun sites.

Two the Brom's were destroyed byt the missiles. This brought about a massive baarage from all the Brom batteries. 78 launchers, firing two missiles each, meant that 156 Brom anti-ship cruise missiles were launched in a massive barrage directed at the Wnaderjarian fleet. Immediatly after firing, the launchers began moving, hopefully disabling the Wanderjarian ability to launch another counter-battery.

OOC: Wanderjar, computer troubles?

OOC: Wanderjar, computer troubles?

Nope. Why?

Taking a long time to respond

Taking a long time to respond


I'm in about ten RPs, so I have to be everywhere at once ya know?

Ah...I see

The Wanderjarian aircraft, now in range for their smart bombs, each fired four ATS missles into the enemy emplacements.


The Blackhelm missles struck close to 50 aircraft, taking the Wanderjarians by surprise. Those that survived, however, immediatley unloaded their remaining 4 Air to Air missles at the Gnats, which being very outdated, would find difficult to evade.


The Wanderjarians returned to base, while a new wave of F/A-18s was launched, and targeted the Beiraqi airforce, firing a second volley of Air to Air Missles against them.



(OOC: Beiraq? Did you post casulties for my first assault against your airforce? Also, I'll be back in 20 minutes, foods done)

OOC: You only launched 50 planes....

OOC: You only launched 50 planes....

No....I launched 100.

ah Its says from each carrier. I see

IC: The Gnats, being the nimble little buggers they were, began performing a number of quite cool looking acrobatic manuvers, such as diving or pulling up just as the missile came near (I'm assuming these are standard HE-FRAG AtA missiles?) causing the explosive proximity thingy to go off before hitting the plane, or veer off course as flares and chaff was tossed in the place the Gnat formerly was. Still, 30 Gnats were downed, nearly half of what was sent out.

The second group of 50 Gnats was now ordered up, to assault the retreating planes, as well as the ew group that was sent,

OOC:where the hell is Beiraq, and what did his barrage do?

Sorry, I was eating

IC: The 10 MiG's in the patrol were hit hard, all ten being blown from the sky. Only one pilot even managed to bail out in time. The rest of the fighters sent to the sky were redirected to keep the enemy from advancing over land, and so the Griffincrest planes were left to fight over the sea. 10 Mirage's however were authorized to assist the Gnats, and soon rocketed into the sky, looking for the E/A-6's

The 50 F/A-18s that relieved the others immediately opened fire with ATA missles upon the Mirage's. When they were destroyed, the Wanderjarians could rest assured of their Air Superiority over Beiraq.



As the Carrier battlegroup drew nearer, the loss of aircraft was taken hard.


"Damnit! I lost so many good men out there." The Naval Aviation Commander said.

"I know. As soon as we have a beach head, I'll request to command that we recieve reinforcements."



It would not be long before they were in position to land troops.

The second wave of Gnats opened up with their AMRAAM's as the second wave of F/A-18's came. 10 of the AMRAAM's were directed at the EA-6's, the other 90 at the flight group bound for Beiraq.

On the ground, the Griffincrest forces prepared to repel the enemy invasion.


OOC: How many more planes do you have, and what kind of damage did the Beiraqi Brom's do?

(OOC: I still have 80 Planes. Beiraq didn't do any damage. My anti-missle systems destroyed the missiles, since he only launched 24 and I was able to fire many more missiles at his missiles. So, they couldn't get through my anti-missile systems, and didn't even bother my CIWS.)

OOC: He launched a second barrage with like a hundred and something missiles.

Hmm....didn't see that. I'll go look for it then.

Top of page two. I'm going to bed. Goodnight Wanderjar.

OOC: Wanderjar, I assume your public knows of this war, correct? Would there be much media coverage?

Yeah man. But we're a very hawkish society.

Good Afternoon Wanderjar. I presume the battle should commence now?

This worried the now in range of landing Wanderjarian fleet. They fired many rockets at the missiles, destroying many of them, then the CIWS destroyed even more, but still several managed to strike the Aegis Cruisers, sinking them. Others were near misses, causing shrapnel to reap the decks of a Lord Battleship, killing a crewmen and wounding several others.


The Wanderjarians however, launched their invasion. Infantry and armor prepared to land, and, upon landing, would set up a beachhead. Once onshore, they would not be removed.

Good Afternoon Wanderjar. I presume the battle should commence now?

Hey buddy, yeah. I'm going to start landing troops. I'm weak in the Naval department, but once I've got men on shore, you know how hard I am to remove ;)

The Gnats, returning from their second attack, saw the troops unloading onshore, and began raking the as of now uncoordinated men on the ground with rocket and 30mm ADEN cannons, causing havoc on the beach head. The rest of the 25 Gnats had now taken off, armed with 2 500 pound bombs each, and sped their way towards the beachhead, escorted by the now re-armed surviving planes of the last run.

The Wanderjarian troops, all combat veterans, took cover, though a dozen unlucky souls were caught by the fire. Gepard Anti-Aircraft guns launched Stinger missles and used their quad 35mm Cannons, unleashing hell into the skies on the inferior 1950s aircraft.


Troops using their personal stinger attachments also fired fifty of the seeker missles into the sky. A modern aircraft could have a decent chance of escape, but no matter the skill of the pilot, an old design such as the Gnat would have near to zero chance of survival.

(OOC: Blackhelm?)

OOC: You are aware you are shooting stingers at jet fighters, right? The Gnat has a ceiling of 14,630 meters. The stinger, on the other hand, has a 4,800 meter range. You are not going to hit me. Just making sure you don't think this is a godmod.

IC: The Gnats zipped away quickly after the attack, and soon, the weapons lock sensors began going off in the cockpits. Immediatly, the fighter group pulled up, far above what the stingers could reach, and for the most part avoided the counter-attack. Four of the Gnats, however, stalled out because they went to high, and another 6 simply panicked or were just stupid and tried to outrun the weapons, or were to close to the ground and were hit by the missiles.

(OOC: I know :) I was hoping to scare you and your fighters away so that I could do this:


IC:



Seeing that the surviving Gnats were steadily climbing, and evading the Stinger missiles, the F/A-18 pilots launched their final ATA missiles, 100 total, at them. Upon releasing ordinance, they returned to the carrier and were relieved by more F/A-18s.


The Gepards kept firing away with their Quad 35mm HE cannons, while the Wanderjarian missiles soared towards the Griffincrest Gnats.

OOC: Argh, and I was trying to be a nice guy and take casualties, and got bamboozled. Ah well. And did you post damage from the last AMRAAM attack? O yea, one more thing, what kind of AtA missiles are your boys packing?

The Gnats all ht their counter measures, and dove again, now out of range of the stingers. The were 2 missiles to every one Gnat, so chances did not look to good. 30 of the Gnats were blown from the sky. Out of the original 50 in the attack group, 39 were destroyed.

The Gnats with the bombs were minutes away, and their escorts, 30 in all, opened up with their AMRAAM's at the new wave of F/A-18's, sending 60 missiles towards the planes as they took of. The other 25 readied to drop their ordnance as they made their pass over the beach head.

OOC: LOL! OOC man, I love ya, you're a good guy. IC though, you should know that I'm ruthless, though I'm fair with my casulty figures.

As for ATA missiles, I use: AIM-10A Skystreak and AIM-12 Lightning Missiles, both from Chevyrocks's Storefront.

IC:

Since the missiles, being a direct threat to the ships themselves, they used anti-missile defense systems to clear out the enemy missiles as best they could. Though one missile got through and struck one Wanderjarian fighter.


Even more troops had landed, and now 1,200 Marines, 10 Gepard Self Propelled Artillery units, 5 Behemoths, sat on the shore, waiting for any enemy troops stupid enough to come at them. They were rapidly being reinforced. The entire Marine Contigent to be landed would be on shore within two to three hours.

OOC: You know, you have about 10 Gepards firing with quad cannons at your aircraft right? And this is what they are designed to take down aircraft that can go faster than yours!

OOC: Hold off on that. Wait for Beiraq to respond to the ground incursion. And as for the Gepards, I said they dove far off from the beach, as they were already passing when they made their attack.

OOC: That last one was the third, you still have not responded to the second AtA barrage. It was I think 90 AMRAAM's, not sure though, some where on bottom of page 2 I think

ooc: Um, Blackhelm, you do realize the following:
Even as much as you update her, the Gnat is still, at heart, a '60s era lightweight figther, and has the following flaws:
Subsonic (no matter what engine you stick in it, it wouldn't change that fact)
no radar (the nose just isn't big enough)
and poorly armed, due to it's small size.

It's not a superfighter, never has, never will be. If it was as good as you try to make it seem like, the Indians would still be using it. It was they, not the RAF, that used it in combat, and found out it's strengths and weaknesses.

Just some food for thought.

Oh and t.a.g.

I have never said it had radar, nor did I say it was any faster than it was. I did, however, say I put 2 AMRAAM's on it, which can find their target on their own.

As the Wanderjarians began unloading, Beiraqi command ordered all SCUDs to be launched, and quickly, the 30 missiles came screaming towards the unloading troops. Also, the Broms, which had now pulled away from the coast, unloaded another 156 missile barrage, targeting the inbound transport vessels.

Around the coast, a containment was ordered. 300 2A-65 Towed Howitzers were brought up, along with 50,000 men from the Beiraqi National Army, and 150 BMP-1's. The men who could not pile int the BMP's were put into 5 ton trucks, and they sped across the desert. In a few minutes, they would be forming a semi circle around the Wanderjarians. Ahead of them, 1,000 Republican Guards sped to secure the beach away from the invaders, mounted in jeeps, and behind them, the two Mi-24's buzzed by, in support of the Republican Guard's movement.

(OOC: You do know that Scud missiles aren't made to hit troop concentrations right? They wouldn't hit me. They are made to fire upon enemy cities, but are not guided and have only rudimentary aiming systems, i.e, point and shoot. No complex guidence, etc. Which is why Saddam Hussein, try as he might to make all the Scuds he had work, and he had a bunch, but had absolutely no effect on the Coalition in the Gulf War, other than piss off Israel, because some managed to hit some outskirts of Israeli cities. Try Artillery mate, you'll have alot more effect. But Scuds are absolutely worthless, other than as a psycological warfare tool, a chemical warfare delivery weapon, or a nuclear delivery weapon. Just a military tip for you mate :))

The Scuds soared towards them, and landed all around them. As they are not meant for direct engagements, they only scared the newer soldiers who had never had missiles shot at them before.


The ever increasing numbers, now up to 3,000 Marines. and 20 Behemoth IIIs, dug in their positions, and prepared for the Beiraqi assault. As enemy troops would advance, the Behemoths, in their massive glory, scanned for the BMPs, and, when the came, would unleash their fury upon them.


This would be a dark day for Beiraq indeed.

Bump

Its closed to open RPing, but not to OOC remarks.

Seeing the 2 MI-24s on their RADARs, a recon squad, positioning itself out a few miles ahead of the rest of the soldiers, fired two stinger missiles, one at each chopper. Then, they remained low in their fox holes, hoping to stay out of sight.


Since the Wanderjarian commanders were now aware of the enemy helicopter advance, they ordered three F/A-18s to engage the survivors, if there were any. If either helicopter survived, it would be destroyed by a Wanderjarian Fighter bomber.

Its closed to open RPing, but not to OOC remarks.

OOC: Ok but I was making a statement and the Gnat top service ceiling 14,630 meters

Both helicopter were destroyed by the attack, but by this time, the artillery had been set up, and the Republican Guard, as well as the lead elements of the BNA (Beiraqi National Army) had engaged the Wanderjarians. About 50 80mm mortars began opening up, along with the 300 pieces of artillery. A heavy battle was about to ensue.

OOC: I fired 30 SCUD's at a beach, I think at least one would hit people. And Saddam's Scud's did work, but for the most part were shot down by US Patriots. But when the Patriots failed, there wasn't good things. Ever hear of Dharan?

A landing? O, your ass is grass.

As the Wanderjarians began unloading, 400 Mercury's, packed full with 8 men each, sped towards the Wanderjarian LZ. The 2400 mercenaries had been well briefed, and new most of what they were up against, especially the Behemoth's. The massive tanks were grossly slow, and so out-manuevering them would be very easy. The hard part was getting close, and getting through Wanderjarian infantry. But hopefully, the Gnats would take out the Behemoths before they even unloaded...

Skies above Beiraqi shore, Wanderjarian LZ, 1600 hours

This is Reaper 4-3 to Burglar, enemy targets in sight

Roger that Reaper, unloading munitions in 5-4-3-2-1

Whoooo-hooo look at that boys, watch em burn

The 30 Gnats had dropped 2 laser guided 500 pound bombs onto the Wanderjarian position from about 6,000 meteres, keeping them out of range from ground fire. The bombs were all designated to strike the Behemoth's, thus crippling the Wanderjarian anti-armor capability. The Beiraqi infantry should be engaging soon, and the lack of SHBT's should bemefit them greatly.

OOC: How did you not shoot these down man, I had them coming in three posts

OOC: Thats why I have F/A-18s swarming the area. You may kill a few dozen to a hundred of my men, but there are thousands upon thousands to even millions which would take their place. Besides, my Behemoths alone can take out the force you all sent against me. The BMP-1s won't do a thing, and you're Mercury's are dead bro.


I'll put up an IC in a sec :)

OOC: Before you post, factor in the 90 AMRAAM attack from page 2, you skipped that one

Congrats man.

The second wave of Gnats opened up with their AMRAAM's as the second wave of F/A-18's came. 10 of the AMRAAM's were directed at the EA-6's, the other 90 at the flight group bound for Beiraq.

On the ground, the Griffincrest forces prepared to repel the enemy invasion.


OOC: How many more planes do you have, and what kind of damage did the Beiraqi Brom's do?



The EA-6s, which was a converted A-6, was time and tested against such odds, but unfortunately did not come through. Both were destroyed. The Gnats missiles, which were shot at the Wanderjarian F/A-18s, managed to strike down 15 of them, while 35 managed to evade, using flares to destract the missiles. Immediately, they launched their own ordinance at the Gnats, which would find it much more difficult to escape these redesigned AMRAAM Missiles designed by Chevyrocks.



The men on the ground, while heavily entrenched, did not manage to escape losing some men. With thirty to forty men dead, they kept even lower in their fox holes.


Meanwhile, the Behemoth Commanders laughed as they saw what was approaching them. The Mercury's and BMP-1s would do next to nothing against the superior Behemoth Armor, as so many had found out. This was why the 6th Armor Hounds of Hell Division was frequently avoided on the battlefield. The 15 Behemoths now onshore began targeting the Mercurys and BMPs, and opened fire.


If the Capitalist pigs thought they would that easily remove the Red Empire, they would be sadly mistaken.


(OOC: Hows that man?)

The bombs were focuses at the Behemoths, but, to the IC!

The Mercury's unloaded out of range to the Behemoth's (I think, what is the max range on those killers) and the infantry spewed out. Many of them were carrying Javelins, and the ground force surged forward, firing their multitude of weapons at the Wanderjarians. 100 men, carrying 102mm Royal Code made mortars, began their barrage, using HE shells to hit the Behemoth's. They decided to make 5 groups, one on each of the tanks, and the last meant to hit the bunkered down infantry. Individually, the mortars would do little against the SHBT's, but en masse, it would be a different story. This barrage, combined with the immense shelling the Beiraqi army was laying down, would hopefully break the Wanderjarian forces.

Behind the infantry, the Mercury's waited for the Behemoth threat to be cleared. Once it was, the Mercury's would spew death into the remaining infantry units, unlucky enough to have survived the initial assault.

Many of them were carrying Javelins, and the ground force surged forward, firing their multitude of weapons at the Wanderjarians. 100 men, carrying 102mm Royal Code made mortars, began their barrage, using HE shells to hit the Behemoth's. They decided to make 5 groups, one on each of the tanks, and the last meant to hit the bunkered down infantry. Individually, the mortars would do little against the SHBT's, but en masse, it would be a different story. This barrage, combined with the immense shelling the Beiraqi army was laying down, would hopefully break the Wanderjarian forces.

Behind the infantry, the Mercury's waited for the Behemoth threat to be cleared. Once it was, the Mercury's would spew death into the remaining infantry units, unlucky enough to have survived the initial assault.



Seeing what the enemy was doing, the Commanders went with Wanderjarian Doctrine: Attack. They advanced, moving so that the mortars would not hit them, and proceeded to open up with their dual 300mm Smoothbore guns on the Mercurys'. They began peppering the infantry with their several machine guns, and enemy aircraft with Stinger Missile attachments.


(OOC: Behemoth III Armament:

-2x 300mm Smooth Bore Gun (with auto-loading system)
--Autoloader
-2x Computer Controlled Stingers Pods (each hold 6x Stingers)
-2x 6-Barreled 25mm Chain Guns
-1x M240 Medium Machine Gun
-1x Hell-Raiser Machine Gun (internally controlled)
-Weapons/Ammunition Cache

Now you see why I'm so confident in them.

The Gnats were high above the stingers max range, and turned to go back to base. The infantry with the Javelins tore open, sending a virtual wal of 120 rockets towards the slow moving SHBT's. The Mercury's simply rolled back as the lumbering war machines advanced on them, staying out of range the whole way. The mortars continued raining down, as the tanks slow speed still made them easy targets.

About 3 miles away from the landing, mercenaries began constructing a sand berm, from which to better defend the nation they were supposed to protect from anything.

(OOC: Don't make a sand berm. Anyone who knows anything about desert combat knows not to do that.)

Sand berms can be effective when used right. And I plan on using this one well.

(OOC: Not against tanks. If I fire one shot against it, all you're men die horribly. The sand will turn to glass when exposed to the astronomical temperatures, then splinter itself, literally cutting your men to pieces. I've read about it happening in the Iraq war. And think about the Science of it for a second, and you'll realize that its a mistake. I'll gladly kill your men if you want, but I feel bad kinda, exploiting such a major mistake.)

I'm moving away from the sand berm after building it, its just to slow down your men so I can shoot shit at them as they go over. And I never knew about that glass thing, thats pretty cool actually.

Why are my attacks being ignored?

They arent.....I've responded to your BMP attack with my Behemoths.

What about the second Brom volley at the transports, and the Republican Guard assault?

OOC: Well then, I can't let your men finish can I?


IC:


The Behemoths, seeing the Mercenaries rapidly working on sand burms, fired with their main guns on them. Once the rounds would impact, the sand would instantly turn to glass, and as more rounds were fired, it would splinter, cutting the Mercenaries apart and killing them.


Meanwhile, at the construction site, artillery forced the Wanderjarians to lay low in their trenches. Several rounds got lucky, killing dozens of troops, but stoicly, the now full strength Wanderjarian Marine Corps did not budge. The airfield would be complete within the next three hours, and Wanderjarian transport jets, supported by hundreds of F-99 fighters, came. They would arrive within seven hours, bringing K-1 Main Battle Tanks, and and 250,000 Wanderjarian Army soldiers. Until then, all the Marine had to do, was hold. M198 Batteries opened up on the Beiraqi batteries with 155mm howitzer rounds, and Eurocopter Tigers advanced, readying anti-tank missiles to target the Mercury's and BMPs. However, this would be done from beyond their retalitation range, just as was done in prior engagements with Blackhelm forces.

OOC: 2 quickies. Airfield..wha?? And The berm is 3 miles back, what is max range on the Behemoths?

(OOC: The first thing I do when I make a beachhead, is clear a strip of land so that aircraft can land on it. It takes about two hours to do. Eventually, I build hangers for them aswell, but that comes days afterwords. Seabees work fast man ;)

Also, the Behemoth moves 34 MPH, so it can move fast enough to keep you in range of its guns. I just checked DMGs Stats on it. You're Mercury can do about 40 I assume, so even though you'll be far away, I'll still be able to be in your range, since the main guns can shoot at least 1 Mile.)

OOC: Mercury's do 60. They were built to go fast, thats way they dont have a cannon, only a 30mm autocannon thing, which is just a powerful machine gun, and a handfull of other machine guns and grenade launchers. The 34 is max speed, you'll be out of fuel fast if you hit that, and you have, as of yet, no supplies.

IC: The mercenaries surged forward while the Mercury's pulled back. Hundreds of Javelins were fired, smashing into the Behemoths, and mortar fire continued to rain down on the enemy. Thousands of bullets poured in as well, fired from the G36E's and M60's of the GSF men, and many of them took out their grenades as well. Hundreds of HE grenades, along with German style stick grenades went flying into the Wanderjarian lines.

OOC: I'm taking command of Beiraqi artillery, I hope no one minds

The Griffincrest colonel then put a call through to the Beiraqi artillery commander. He ordered all 300 cannons set up for the containment to open up. The thunderous roar of the huge amount of artillery shook the desert sand, and the HE and Frag shells screamed towards the ground, causing devastation where they fell. Next, the colonel told the commander to ready the SCUD's for a second, and third volley, on his call.

OOC: Cool with me.

The Beiraqi commander, after firing as the Griffincrest colonel ordered, then ordered the SCUDs to be launched at the airfield under construction. 30 missiles were fired. Minutes later, another 30. Minutes after that, a final 30. The launchers then dispersed. 90 SCUD missiles screamed at the as of yet incomplete airfield. 90 SCUDs were not going to miss. Not only that, but they would most likely kill lots and lots of enemy soldiers as well.

The BMP-1's seeing the Mercury's pull back did the same, unloading their infantry from a safe distance. The BNA soldiers had now joined the Republican Guard troops in assaulting the Wanderjarian lines. Hundreds of RPG rounds screamed at the enemy tanks, and these, along with the Griffincrest Javelins, would be able to if not destroy, badly damage the Behemoths and K-1's. RPK and Ak-47 fire tore open, slicing down soldiers of the opposing forces. Behind them, the 300 artillery pieces, combined with the mortars, rained fiery hell down upon the Wanderjarian men and women. The consistent barrage, coupled with the dual force assault, would soon break the Wanderjarians.

....Wanderjar?
