The GASN was seemingly gone. There restructructuring was just a cover for a slow collapse, and Claudius knew that. With Wanderjar temporarily gone, so was one of his major fears. He now decided it would be a good time to strike the GASN, and hit one of the newer, yet influential members. That member was The World Soviet Party. The tiny nation had never seen a war before. Well, now they would. He quickly called up the forces of Beiraq and Achmara, and ordered them to mobilize on Soviet territory. By nightfall, the first elements of the corporate fleet should be entering Soviet waters. By morning, Claudius had hoped for victory. This would be the largest invasion force Griffincrest has ever assembled. All of it was nessecary however, as this was not just the regular idiot arab oil nation, but this was a potential world power.

-"Holy shit!"- those were the first words spoken in this war, an Intelligence Officer grabbed the piece of paper and read it, his eyes widened -"Send this to the President and Commander In Chief, top priority, National Security!"-

Presidential Palace, Red City, TWSP 0600 Hours

-"What is it? Why did you wake me up so early General?"- Alexander yawned, he was tired and needed the sleep, being President wasnt an easy job.
-"Mr. President, its my duty to tell you that as of now, this country is in a state of war"- General Caldwell took his job seriously, he was happy his boys would get some experience, however, he knew all could be brought down by politicians.
-"WHAT?!"-
-"We have recieved reports that the Griffincrest Co. in mobilizing an army against us, we are heaviliy outnumbered both in man, machine and firepower"-
Alexander sat down, confused, this was new for him, he hated war and was known as an activist.
-"Sir, I suggest we mobilize all troops and set the Alarm Level on the highest possible"-
-"Yes, go do that... I'll talk to the Senate, just go"- Alex waited till the general left before going over to his bar and opening a can of Coca Cola, then he went over to his Communicator -"Mrs. Stevens"- he told his secretary -"Cancel all my meetings for today, tomorrow, and maybe for a month, then assemble the senate"-

Um, yeah, did you know my entire military is for hire?
If I ever needed an excuse to go to war, this would be the most interesting, and legal.

OOC THREAD (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=498733)

President Achmed Chalabi was quickly informed of the Griffincrest move, and immediatly called up his General of the Armed Forces, Mohammad Al-Beiraqi.

"General, Griffincrest has asked for our assistance in a military assault on a nation known as The World Soviet Party. As an associate state to them, we are required to send forces. I want a full expeditionary army ready to move in the hour." President Chalabi said to his general

"Yes Sir!" the general replied with a salute, before leaving the room. The Beiraqi army was prepared in the hour. It consisted of the following:

100,000 Beiraqi National Army infantry
2,000 Beiraqi Republican Guard soldiers
300 M94 Plamen-S 128mm self-propelled multi-launch rocket artillery system
200 HT-106 Heavy Tanks
150 BMP-1's
70 BOV 30 4x4 30mm AA platform
50 Orkan/Ababil batteries
20 ZSU-23's

Alexander sat before the Senate, he couldnt hear his own thoughts with all the noise.
Suddenly, as if by Divine Inspiration, Alex got up, grabbed a microphone and started talking.

"I say to the House as I said to ministers who have joined this government, I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweat. We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many months of struggle and suffering.

You ask, what is our policy? I say it is to wage war by land, sea, and air. War with all our might and with all the strength the people has given us, and to wage war against a monstrous tyranny never surpassed in the dark and lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy.

You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs — Victory in spite of all terrors — Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival!

We shall defend our country, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender."

There was silence, then, suddenly, as if it had beeen planned, everyone in the room got up.The sounds of thousands of people cheering, clapping and whistling filled his ears as he sat down, the war had started and he was ready.

From the Interim Government of the Supreme Commonwealth of Rosdivan

We note with distress the recent state of war between the Griffencrest Corporation and the World Soviet Party. Though we are intensely opposed to Communism, and are currently putting down a Communist insurrection, we offer the use of an expeditionary corps from the Commonwealth Army Frontal Aviation to the World Soviet Party for their defense against this aggression. Consisting of two divisions of light-attack A-42G Corsair IIs and a division of F-128C Lancers. This will provide a total of 144 fighters and 288 attack aircraft, along with support personnel numbering 43,128 men.

OOC: I'll let Toops play if you pick an ally to hop on your boat. TWSP up to you to pick a friend.

IC: The Griffincrest fleet was setting sail for Soviet waters. Far ahead of them, a mere 300km from Soviet beaches, sat 4 GSF stealth ships. At once, they opened up with their cargo. 20 missiles, 5 from each, were fired. Their target, any Soviet defenses plaeced on the coast, notably railguns and missile sites.

Aboard the transports, mercenaries dat, anxiously awaiting their chance to down this nation and get the pay of the century.

Ayatollah Khossein sat in the Achmaran war room, a massive bunker many feet under the capital of Allahdome. He looked at the generals surrounding him. "Gentlemen" he said in the gentle way he spoke all of his words "today, we are required to assist the Griffincrest Corporation in a war oversea. I have no doubt that they will do the same for us when our time comes. Now, generals, prepare an expeditionary force."

One of the men stepped forward. "I wish to lead the attack" he announced. "Of course" the Ayatollah replied. "Ready your forces"

I would like to get involved. But i'm not sure if you would let me get involved as one of my Marine Corps Companeis is made up of roughly 3,750,000 Marines...

OOC:

The Rastoran Syndicate would like to get involved, I do not have an army per say but I do possess some interesting Special Forces units. I can also help if you need specialized assassins for eliminating enemy leaders and for demolition/terrorist style attacks on enemy soldiers or civilians.

I am currently using this account to RP as the Rastoran Syndicate thanks to jolt not allow my first nation to log back in...

(OOC: thanks BC, still need to know if this is MT or PMT?)

Hey BC. What of those commanders you hired not to long ago. Will you RP them?

OOC: I think it's MT... and I'm just gonna watch for now, unless TWSP asks ICly for support.

MT, really early PMT

Rastoran, I didnt think you were still around. You can hop in if TWSP picks more allied I guess, provided TWSP approves it.

NE, you can RP them if you want, I would prefer to do so though

You can RP them. Besides, I'm caught up with a Shadow Force attack.

is it going down or what as i cant wait to read it

OOC: I dont have any missile sites nor Railguns, think of my country as it was Germany, it has a very small coast.

Rosdivan, if you are willing to RP them, yes your help is welcomed, so is Shazbotdom.

IC:

General Caldwell placed several Artillery Pieces along the coastline, the plan was to attack the landing craft with them while the Air Force and Attack Helicopters pounded them from above. The Marine Company was put on standby for a quick guerrilla attack on any force that came down.
The 2nd Armored Battallion was sent to cover the exits into the mainland, all Air Bases were put into high alert ready to strike at the slighterst hint of invasion.

However, enemy missiles caused some casualties in the Artillery Batteries, namely 2 cannons and 5 men.

Major General Michael Annspitter glanced around the airbase as he taxied after his landing. One of nine Soviet airbases selected for the deployment of the Seventh Corps (Frontal Aviation), it failed to resemble the picture of chaos that one would have expected to see. That would come later. For now, only two squadrons, 32 planes in total, of A-42G Corsair II strike aircraft were here from the Supreme Commonwealth. Transports carrying munitions and ground crew would be arriving over the next day, along with the fighters. The Corsair could self-deploy with external fuel tanks, but the fighters needed tanker support and that took time to set up. Unfortunately, that did mean that they would be without armament other than their 30mm cannon until the transports arrived with bombs and missiles.

Coming to a halt inside of a hardened aircraft shelter, Michael shut down his engine, and then clambered down the ladder that had brought up to the aircraft.

"Would anyone happen to know where the liason officer is?"

A man with a crazy'ish look on his face came out of a building, he was dressed in a military uniform, and had the marks of Brigadier General on it, he was Drew Leibowitz, Commander in chief of the Air Force.

He shook Mj. Gen Annspitter hands an introduced himself -"Welcome to our humble base General, we hope you have a good time"-

OOC: Bump

Commander Ivan Ruslan and Commander Garcia Townes were the two foreign commanders selected to be deployed. The rest would be from within the Confederacy itself.

At sea, the carriers picked up the Soviet planes, an responded by deploying their own. Hundreds of Gnats blanketed the sky, while dozens of F-4's took suppoting positions behind and under them. The battleships too, were nearing coastal range, and railguns were being loaded and aimed at the many artillery sites along the shore.

On the tranport ships, the men were getting excited, hearing the planes take off, the guns being turned, and the sound of explosions coming from the coast.

As soon as the radars picked up BC's planes, the order was issued, 20 F-22s, 30 F-18s and 20 F-12 (Bought to Illior) were sent to meet the attacking force.
The plan was to take down as many enemies as they could with their missiles and then try and engage in Dogfights with the enemy fighters to render their missiles useless (you know, in such a tight place, chances are you'll end hitting one of your guys, specially because they are a lot!).

Artillery was to fire at enemy ships as soon as they got in range.

"It's nice to meet you General Leibowitz, I'm Major General Annspitter, commander of the Rosdivan-Soviet Expeditionary Corps. Speaking of this base, you wouldn't happen to know if it has a name? They just gave us GPS coordinates. And are there any NATO or Warsaw Pact weapons here we could use? My pilots are itching to start the fighting."


OOC: Blackhelm, how many transports of what type how far off the coast with what sort of protective screen?

Secret IC:
SCENE: Flight group of 50 AC-01's, 45 AC-02's, and 100 Modified 777's
The flight group was ordered out of Shazbotdom Marine Air Base over 2 hours ago. With their estimations, they would reach TWSP in roughly 14 hours at high speed. The fighters and bombers were in the standard triangle formation while the 777's were in a square formation behind the bombers. International waters looked the same to the men of the Shazbotdom Maine Corps Air Division, just waves for as far as the eye can see. An AC-01 Pelican used several Shazbotdom Satelites to radio ahead to The World Soviet Party in an effort to try and gain an understand if where TWSP wanted them to land and if they had enough room for a flight group this big at any of their air bases. It was taking a few minutes to connect, which was a main issue with using satelites for low level radio communication.

AL: "This is Alpha Leader of Alpha Squad, Flight Group Mega One to TWSP Communicaitons Grid. We request permission to land and request to know know if you have a landing strip big enough to land one hundred 777's, and 95 miscilanious fighter and bomber aircraft. Over?"

Now he waited to see if he would get a responce.

OOC: Blackhelm, how many transports of what type how far off the coast with what sort of protective screen?

-"Sure"- the General pointed at a Weapon Depot, Artillery Pieces, soldiers running around, getting ready -"As far as the eye can see, however, I've been informed that Griffincrest has already mobilized its airforce against us, our planes have already left their bases to go stop them"-


AL: "This is Alpha Leader of Alpha Squad, Flight Group Mega One to TWSP Communicaitons Grid. We request permission to land and request to know know if you have a landing strip big enough to land one hundred 777's, and 95 miscilanious fighter and bomber aircraft. Over?"

Now he waited to see if he would get a responce.

The Radio Operator smiled broadly, they were not alone anymore.
-"Roger that Alpha Leader, Permission Granted, we dont, however, possess such a big airport right now, you'll force will have to divide and land in four different airstrips, Im sending you the coordinates right now. Control Out."-

-"Sure"- the General pointed at a Weapon Depot, Artillery Pieces, soldiers running around, getting ready -"As far as the eye can see, however, I've been informed that Griffincrest has already mobilized its airforce against us, our planes have already left their bases to go stop them"-


Annspitter gave a dismissive wave with his hand. "As far as our intel has shown, Griffincrest isn't deploying anything that's been built in the past two decades, and most of the stuff is older than that. We've got a squadron of sixteen planes flying combat air patrol over each base. They're only armed with cannon right now, but that should be enough until we can get a replacement squadron armed with missiles from the base supplies. It's not like they'll face much of a fight anyhow."

With that, he turned and shouted orders at a colonel to get his brigade ready and armed for an anti-shipping strike.

-"I'll give you that"- said Drew -"However, he vastly outnumbers us... like 800 to 70"-

Annspitter scoffed. "Eight hundred? You give them too much credit. The Gnats that make up the majority of their force are worthless, they're about as likely to score a kill through ramming as they are with their cannons. The Phantoms they've got are the only serious threat, and marginal at that. Your F-22s should wipe them from the skies without a single loss. After that, it's just a turkey shoot. I doubt the Gnats even possess a radar warning receiver."

OCC May I tag on blackhelms side?

The Radio Operator smiled broadly, they were not alone anymore.
-"Roger that Alpha Leader, Permission Granted, we dont, however, possess such a big airport right now, you'll force will have to divide and land in four different airstrips, Im sending you the coordinates right now. Control Out."-

AL: "This is Alpha Leader to TWSP Tower. We aknoledge that last message. We will split up the task force into four as best as we can and make haste to the coordinates listed to us by your ntaion. Expect us in T Minus 10 hours. Also, hopefully we won't be the first wave of aircraft from the Dark Empire, i'm sure that the Supreme Emperor will dedicate more aircraft and marines pritty soon. Over and Out."

Annspitter scoffed. "Eight hundred? You give them too much credit. The Gnats that make up the majority of their force are worthless, they're about as likely to score a kill through ramming as they are with their cannons.

I doubt the Gnats even possess a radar warning receiver."

-"Well, you've certainly gotten my hopes up"- Drew smiled at Gen. Annspitter -"I better go radio HQ now, I'll see you later"- and with that, Gen. Drew went into the "Radio Shack".

OOC: Sorry, my girlfriend and I crashed at my buddies house last night after the bar, he didn't want me driving. Jerk....

And you have seriously underestimated the Gnats.

IC: The F-4's radioed into the Gnats of the approaching enemy fighters, and the Gnats set up for battle. Each of the nimble little planes were carrying two AMRAAM's each. Should they all open up, the full salvo would be enought to destroy an air armade, but would also be incredibly expensive. Instead, only the lead thirty fighters opened up, from nearly 75km away. 60 missiles were fired, and would soon lock onto their targets.

Under the Gnats, the F-4's were preparing to launch their Sidewinders once the enemy planes got closer.

At the same time, the F-22 prepared their AIM-120 AMRAAM, and readied them to fire as soon as possible, they kept the AIM-9 Sidewinder ready to fire too, which would happen when the F-4s were closer (Each plane carries 6 AIM-120s and 2 Sidewinders).
The F-18s prepared their AIM-120s too, but kept their IRIS-Ts as a secret weapon, to take down as much enemies as they could.
The F-12s got behind all the other planes, the plan was for the F-22s and F-18s to fire all their stuff and then move to the sides while the F-12s fired theirs, then they all would engage the F-4s and Gnats in Dogfights.

OOC: Sorry, my girlfriend and I crashed at my buddies house last night after the bar, he didn't want me driving. Jerk....

And you have seriously underestimated the Gnats.

How does a Gnat have AMRAAMS when there's absolutely no provision for them whatsoever? And to repeat: Blackhelm, how many transports of what type how far off the coast with what sort of protective screen?

what sort of protective screen?

(OOC: ME! BWAHAHAHAHA!!!! Seriously I don't know I just felt like announcing my arrival)

The Fleet was within aircraft striking range and within good timing as a massed dogfight was taking place over the coast, the P2 Fighters (OOC: nearest equivilant is a Tornado GR1) were set off in 2 plane teams forming into 4 plane wings in the sky before moving on to the battlescene, meanwhile the fleet carried on relentlessly it would be within range soon enough.

Dare I ask how that fleet is managing to deploy faster than aircraft, or what sort of specs there are for the ships?

(OOC: this is why I hate the Navy, I dunno!!! I was kinda hoping I could stop, launch aircraft and then keep going, or even stop launch aircraft and then look after the fragile transport vessels, I mean that's the point of Aircraft Carriers isn't it? To launch aircraft?)

OOC: We have HSV-X1 high speed transports. They hold 400 men each, I have 700,000 men, I don't like math, figure that out. As for the AMRAAM's, I upgraded the Gnats by removing the 1960's style rocket pods and replaced them with the AMRAAM's and reconfigured each fighter to be able to fire them. The ships protecting them are posted in my first post.

Zombie Bunny Squadron, Third Brigade, 17th Attack Division (Frontal Aviation); Off Soviet Shore

"Uh, Captain? That RORSAT's giving me an awful lot of blips, are you sure that thing's accurate?" asked Lieutenant Adam Bannington as he checked his radar scope with a worried tone. His own radar was off to avoid revealing his presence, but was being fed by a downlink from a radar ocean recon satellite in orbit. The scope was glowing brightly from the image of all the radar tracks, representing the transports and other naval vessels deployed by the Griffincrest Corporation.

"It's accurate Banz. Griffin apparently likes small transports more than assault ships for whatever reason. I think there's a bit too many to to bother with a detailed lock on though, probably crash the computer," chuckled Captain Michael Gabriel. Though it wouldn't have crashed the computers, it would have been a very tedious process, seeing as how there were over seventeen hundred transports just for the soldiers, not to mention those needed for their equipment and other supplies.

"Alright, Zombie Bunnies," this being the name of the squadron, "launch Harpoons in bravo-oscar-lima mode and then we'll come in under five thousand feet. That'll keep us below escort radars at these ranges, and allow us to strafe them with thirty mike-mike." Now, the disadvantage of so many transports truly raised its head. With so many ships, and so few escorts, it had been a trivial matter for the A-42G Corsair II's, their already long range supplemented with drop tanks, to skirt around the radars of the fleet and find a gap in the coverage. Now, the hired mercenaries would pay for that lack of forethought on behalf of their employer. Sixty-four AGM-84F missiles dropped from the Zombie Bunnies and headed towards their defenseless targets. Forty miles off their starboard wing, the Flaming Chipmunks launched a similar attack, though they were headed back to base instead of continuing in. All the missiles were provided with was a bearing and a safety, not to attack anything less than hundred miles distant from their launch points. After that point, they'd lock on to targets along that bearing, one of the thousands of transports. A single hit should suffice to turn the transport into scattered burning fragments.

Somewhat more distantly, the Undead Aviators were after bigger prey. The squadron had split into two groups of eight, each of which was launching their missiles at a specific target: One of the Nimitz-class carriers providing air support for the fleet. Flying only a few tens of feet above the surface, the missiles would be invisible to radar until they appeared above the horizon, less than a minute till impact. Since they weren't using active measures to track their targets, but rather using a passive IR seeker with anti-jamming measures, it was quite possible that the first knowledge the Griffincrest carriers would have of the attack underway would be the explosion of the first of thirty-two missiles against the hull.

OOC: I have 800+ planes in the sky. There is no way hey would have somehow missed your planes coming in. I don't care how low you are flying, pilots have eyes.

OOC: I have 800+ planes in the sky. There is no way hey would have somehow missed your planes coming in. I don't care how low you are flying, pilots have eyes.

Most of it was at about 30,000 feet for fuel conservation, but having 800+ planes is meaningless. From the earlier posts it appears that most if not all are going into combat over Soviet territory, and as I mentioned, we were using drop tanks to increase what's already a long range (combat radius is ~1600 miles with those two drop tanks) and using that to go around. ELINT gear to pick up radars beyond effective detection radius and avoid that, in combination with radar satellites to go around you. Not to mention that I was, as I stated, firing my missiles from more than a hundred miles out. Put simply, I went around you until I found a gap in radar coverage and then went in close enough to launch missiles. Then pulled back out, with the exception of the sixteen members of the Zombie Bunny Squadron, who are going down low to avoid radar coverage on the strafing run.

SECRET IC:
SCENE: FLIGHT GROUP 1A (All 777's and 10 Pelicans)
The flight group began to pass into TWSP designated air space. They set their transponders and began to use active radar to scan the area for any aircraft associated with Griffencrest or their allies. All of the aircraft checked to see if their flares were operational and then used encoded text signals to send messages back and forth and then started to decend. Although the 777's split up, pretending to be passanger liners (as per the pain on their hulls) and head towards their designated international airports. This was to ensure that they would look like normal passanger liner air traffic to the CA personell.



SCENE: FLIGHT GROUP 1B (13 Pelicans and 15 Garrisons)
The aircraft dropped to below radar, skimming house tops and flying straight down roadways as they made their way towards the designated landing strip within TWSP. They were making their way to coordinates ******** as designated by TWSP tower. They had no idea what was going on in the area of the tower, and they didn't really want to figure it out in a harsh way. They passed over what seemed to be an interstate highway and turned sharply. It was one of the checkpoints that was assigned by the Shazbotdom Military Satelite Network.



SCENE: FLIGHT GROUP 1C (13 Pelicans and 15 Garrisons)
The aircraft dropped to below radar, skimming business buildings and warehouses as they made their way towards the designated landing strip within TWSP.



SCENE: FLIGHT GROUP 1D (14 Pelicans and 15 Garrisons)
The aircraft dropped to below radar, flying between skyscrapers through city's downtown area's as they made their way towards the designated landing strip within TWSP.

OOC: You don't think this strafing run would have been realized. We are 200 km out. That leaves you another 600km to maneuver, assuming that you can have 800 km each way. 800+ planes will take up a truly enormous portion of the sky, further cutting down manuverabilty.Not only this, bu I also stated that the F-4's were under the Gnats, flying lower than them so they can provide support. If they were unable to actually see the "Zombie Bunnies" they would have picked them up on radar.

I fully expect the strafing run to be noticed, going low is simply what they're doing. Doesn't mean it'll be successful. Also, that 1600 miles is a combat radius, as in they can fly out 1600 miles, engage in combat for a while, and then fly back 1600 miles. 200km out means I've got enough fuel for 2300km of maneuver, more than enough to skirt around like that. Keep in mind also that your air units are being engaged by Soviet, that and fuel/distance means you won't have all that many units available to attack them.

OOC: I really don't feel like arguing this anymore. How many missiles have you fired?

I see you don't trust the massive airbase I built for you.

I was calling up commanders that time. I may have to summon support from that airbase later. It has a ton of hardware.

Achmaran soldiers would be the first to land. Higgins boats hit the beaches, and thousands of soldiers, along with hundreds of tanks, began rolling out onto TWSP beaches.

The Revolutionary Guard had never been overseas before, and they were hoping to prove themselves in their first ever overseas deployment.

IC:
SCENE: Landing Zones
Several of the AC-01's had just arrived at the airstrips they were assigned to when they noticed the large 777's comming from the distance. The Boeing 777's were quickly decending as they approached the runways. Flaps were checked and deployed, causing the large craft to slow down as the landing gear had begun to slowly lower for the landing. The Pelicans quickly pulled off the side of the runway and into makeshift hangers. The pilots then stood just outside of the hangers and watched as the first wave of 777's land on the airstrips. They then pulled towards large hangers and pulled into them. The Marines then started to exit the aircraft and unload the equipment that would be used for this operation. Dozens of Warthogs, ATV's and Tanks were brought out and lined up along the walls of the hangers. A total of 25 Divisions were sent, or are en route to be sent, to this conflict (1,875,000 Marines).

OOC: I really don't feel like arguing this anymore. How many missiles have you fired?

128 missiles at the transports and an additional 64 divided between two carriers.

Achmaran soldiers would be the first to land. Higgins boats hit the beaches, and thousands of soldiers, along with hundreds of tanks, began rolling out onto TWSP beaches.

The Revolutionary Guard had never been overseas before, and they were hoping to prove themselves in their first ever overseas deployment.

As soon as the Achmaran soldiers left their boats, they were welcomed by Heavy Artillery fire, as well as Tanks, Machine Gun nests and small arms fire.
10 A-10 Thunderbolt II were sent to sink the incoming transports, and 5 UH-1 "Hueys" were sent to harass the landing party from the skies (Choppers armed with MGs, Rockets and Grenade Launchers).

@ Blackhelm

The F-22s and F-18s locked on their targets and fired the AIM-120s at them (around 200 Missiles, maybe more though).
The F-12s got in position and readied theirs.

TWSP, what happened with my AMRAAM attack earlier, I thought that would have taken out your planes.

Rosdivan, thats it???

IC: Every transport ship had aboard it a CIWS turret. The battleships all had CIWS, along with many other anti-missile systems. As the missiles were fired at the transports, the CIWS snapped to life. Literally hundreds of CIWS turrets fired at each missile. A virtual wall of lead was put up, cutting the missiles out of the sky.

The carriers were positioned towards the middle of everything, around the Kraken. This gave them cover from the anti-missile systems aboard the Chieftains, the Lords, the Kraken, and the thousands of tranports, along with their own CIWS. The explosions rattled some of the sailors and men aboard transports, but did little else.

The lead transports were now nearing shore. Men on board prepared to disembark, and the equipment was being readied. This coastal storm would be the first of many. The GASN was going to be crushed.

The Toopoxican Fleet has followed the Griffencrest Fleet in to the shores of the nation adding to the cover fire provided by the Vessels, all Aircraft have been recalled whilst the Aircraft Carriers, Transports and Destroyers move in towards the shore ready for Embarkation on TWSP.

Blackhelm, how exactly do all those transports have CIWS turrets when those vessels are armed with no more than an automatic grenade launcher and a Bushmaster cannon (http://www.navy.mil/navydata/fact_display.asp?cid=4200&tid=1400&ct=4)? If you're going to use RL equipment, then use the actual RL equipment. Might as well say you're using a Supermarine Spitfire loaded up with Phoenix missiles for crying out loud. I'm also wondering how you get that "Virtual hail of lead" when, as mentioned by writeup, the missiles would be targeting the initial transports that they spotted.

There's also the tiny little question of how CLOSE-IN Weapons Systems are all targeting these missiles unless your entire fleet has rammed into each other. This is the 35mm Millenium Gun CIWS (http://navweaps.com/Weapons/WNGER_35mm-1000_Millennium.htm). Do you notice the maximum range listed on it for sea-skimming missiles (such as the Harpoon)? It's 1,640 yards. Do you honestly expect ANYONE to believe that you have all those ships just happening to be on a direct path to the missiles or colliding with your own damn ships?

I'm going to ignore that post until you actually post something reasonable.

OOC: I have the Phalanx CIWS, not the Millenium, for one thing. Also, I thought you were above me, thus I thought it was coming from above, and every ship was firing. Even if they are not all firing, there are still ships capable of locking on and destroying your missiles.

As for the CIWS on them, I took off the Bushmaster and put in a Phalanx CIWS.

As for the CIWS on them, I took off the Bushmaster and put in a Phalanx CIWS.

Phalanx has even less range (less than 300 yards according to some sources), and while the missiles were initially fired from 30,000 feet and over a hundred miles away, they dropped down to a few tens of feet afterwards, AS I EXPLICITLY SAID IN THE POST. And while there are ships capable of locking on and destroying the missiles, they'd have to be right up next to them to be doing so with CIWS or have the missiles be above their radar horizon (which is about 20 miles at the altitude the missiles are flying at) for them to be using missiles.

Furthermore, you cannot simply toss off a Bushmaster and put in a Phalanx. Phalanx is about ten times the weight (which is damn important) and penetrates the deck, which the Bushmaster does not. These are important things, it is PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE to use a Phalanx in place of a Bushmaster without extensively modifying the ship. Furthermore, you never once said that you had so modified the vessels. If you say "I'm using XYZ ship," then you're using XYZ ship without any modifications.

Ok... its heavier, oh shit. If you haven't realized from my Gnats, all my things are modified. I can modify and tweak this ships design as well.

Ok... its heavier, oh shit. If you haven't realized from my Gnats, all my things are modified. I can modify and tweak this ships design as well.

It's ten times heavier, it's like exchanging a 5" gun for a 12" gun and pretending that everything will be just alright. And if you're going to modify stuff, STATE THE DAMNED MODIFICATIONS BEFOREHAND. Furthermore, there were other large problems with your post besides that, problems which I've already pointed out and would like addressed.

Even if the transports can't take the missiles out, the battleships all have a ton of shit that DMG put on them that would be able to.

And it just occured to me, that that link is not the right craft. The HSV-X1 is an experimental vessel. The HSV-2 is different. The HSV-X1 is built with a helicopter flight deck capable of holding 2 choppers, and as of yet, because it is still in development, no weapons. I cut the flight deck in half, and added the CIWS system at the end of it.

Even if the transports can't take the missiles out, the battleships all have a ton of shit that DMG put on them that would be able to.

Wooptedo. And if you write up their use of that effectively and realistically, I'll accept that. But here's the problem they're facing: The missiles are not going to be detectable until some point after they cross the radar horizon of the battleship. You've got too many transports for your battleships to be effectively screening them all that well and it's going to have to rely on missiles within that small zone of radar detection.

Revolutionary Guard soldiers darted about the beaches. AK-47 fire filled the air, only to be drowned out by the even louder booming of the Zalqifar tanks. Cobras and other APC's opened fire on the enemy defenders, and a massive drive was made. The push was going to focus on the Soviet center, and was going to consist of all 400 tanks, along with about 3/4 of the infantry. Hopefully, this would break the line of defense and secure a beach.

OCC Well no news is good news since no one said I can't join I will.

The empierer of sochatopia wached blackhelms attack with much intrest and relised that this is it. The war with GASN was on and the first nation was the world soviet party. Sochatopians really hate communism and this made the world soviet party a #1 target.

However it was quickly decided that an invasion would be costly so a diffrent plan was used. We must destroy them in every way possible and anyone that stands in our way. At once the Sochatopian first bomb group w3as dispached. It included 100 B2 bombers 200 F22raptors 60 KC110 refuleing aircraft and 20 E6 hawlkeye aircraft.

They left base and aproched the world soviet party at 9 oclock PM they were1000 miles away. They refuled and began to make their combat approch just 800 miles outside the enemy borders broke tn to groups of 4 bombers and 8 fighters. Being in smaller groups it would be near impossible to shoot them all down. They were to go 4 bombers to a huge urban center.

It was night and the crews of the plane knew what their payload was.They were to drop it not on military instulations but rather Civilians. Hospitals schools were their first targets followed by sporting events airports and places with alot of people in them. Even though the planes were in small groups of 4 their weapons were desined to devistate the nation.

OOC: @ Sochatopia
WTF?

IC @ Achmara
Enemy fire managed to cause light casualties among the WSP'ians, however, these were quickly covered by the arrival of reinforcements, the 2nd Armored Battallion had sent 200 Leopard II tanks along with one of the recently acquired Benemoth IIIs.
The Hueys started making rocket passes at the APCs while the A-10 Thunderbolts targeted the tanks.

Casualties so far: 50 men, 4 HMGs, 1 APC.

-"Red leader, I've got missiles on my radar over"-
-"Copy that Red Three, evasive manuevers Tango Alpha, over"-
-"Roger that, over and out"-
The planes scattered, each one of them leading one missile (except 10 of them, since you sent 60 missiles and I have 70 planes) and engaged their countermeasures. Unluckily, Green Two got a direct hit the cockpit and went down.
The planes got together once again and the F-12s let go of their AIM-120s at the enemy. Then, the whole group went into Battle Speed and tried to ram into the enemy fleet to engage in Dogfights.

Casualties: 1 F-18 lost, 1 Pilot dead.

OOC: @ Everyone, please post your casualties, after every battle or skirmish =p

Gnat casualties were heavy, 53 planes downed by the AMRAAM fire. Well, actually only 50 due to the AMRAAM's. Three were downed by the immense amount of flares that covered the sky. The Air Marshal in charge got pissed off. He immediatly ordered 300 planes to loose their missiles. The cost of firing 600 AMRAAM's, 10 per plane, was going to be huge, and he knew that, but it would be worth the lives of his men. The missiles blanketed the sky, speeding at incredible speeds towards the enemy planes.

On the ground, the first two transports hit the beaches, assisting their Achmaran allies. 800 men and 20 Mercury's rolled off, and immediatly began firing. Hopefully, with the assistance of the mercenaries, the Achmarans would make a breakthrough.

Casualties: 53 Folland Gnats.

The planes started evasive manuevers, but some of them werent fast enough, 3 F-22s, 5 F-18s and 3 F-12s were shot down, the rest of them fired their sidewinders at the remaining Gnats and F-4s before engaging in a dogfight. The battle would be decided now, not by missile, but by skill.

Casualties: 3 F-22s, 5 F-18s and 3 F-12s.

Meanwhile, at the beach, the reinforcements recieved by the Achmarans took the WSP'ians by surprise, causing some casualties among the defenders, the Right Flank retreated a little bit, but still held its ground. The 2nd Armoured sent more tanks and the Air Force commited 5 more Hueys and 5 more A-10 Thunderbolts to the task of destroying the tanks, APCs and transports.

Nearly 250 Scud launchers are wheeled into place. On each launcher sat a Beiraqi made SCUD-E missile. Next to each launcher sat a box, containing another missile. With some luck, they would land throughout Southern TWSP, causing mass havoc as they rained down.

The order to fire was soon placed. In minutes, all 250 missiles were off, screaming their way towards Soviet territory. No sooner had the SCUD's been fired had the crews begun reloading. In less then ten minutes, the next volley was up and away. Then, quickly as they fired, they were gone. All 250 launchers quickly getting out of the area, in case the enemy launched a return missile strike.

South East City (yet to be named =p)
Explosions shook the city as the missiles fell on it, no one had expected a civilian position to be attacked, so no countermeasures had been taken, casualties or "Collateral Damage", as some people would call it, were tremendous.

STATEMENT: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Democratic Republic of Trivalvia is appalled by the missile attack upon the World Soviet Party. The Trivalvian Legislature has passed a resolution condemning Beiraq for the attack, and the Griffincrest Corporation for permitting such an attack to occur.

While the Trivalvian government is not willing to commit military forces at this time, a humanitarian aid package and Disaster Response Teams are being prepared to assist the World Soviet Party in rescue operations in the South Eastern City.

SECRET IC:
SCENE: In Orbit
Anti Missile Satelites were suddenly kicked into gear. Project Star Wars was started several years back to design a system to destroy missiles using combined gases to create laser beams that would super heat the missiles and blow them up. There were ten total in the area of TWSP and almost three dozen more within firing range. The order was given at Shazbotdom Satelite Command to use the SpySats to track any new scud missiles as they came within firing range of the Star Wars satelites.

The 46 satelites then prepared to lock onto their designated targets, then powered up fully. It would take roughly 30 seconds for the missiles to heat up enough to explode, and the satelites were programed to move with the missile track to ensure that the laser was continually hitting the missiles. The power was diminished due to it going through the atmosphere which is the reason for the enlongated period of exposure to the missiles, but they would be ready for the next batch of missiles that were to come.


SCENE: Tank Colum
Over fourty tanks were heading down the roads and were going to merge together just north of Red City. The main group of Marines were following closely behind the tanks, aboard the Warthogs and marching on foot towards the city. Coloal Jeff Fredrickson was in charge of the squads that were deployed to this area, and he wanted to make sure that nothign bad would happen to them. He was in the lead Warthog, keeping an eye on the distance for any enemy troops.

As the missiles began fallin gon the Southeastern city, Beiraqi forces began unloading parralel to the city closest to Denmark. Thousands of men and machines poured out of the transports that ferried them to shore, and prepared for battle. Republican Guard troops were the first on the beach. They were the best infantry in Beiraq, and were far better trained than the average Army soldier. They immediatly went bout securing a perimeter as the rest of the Army came ashore. Every 10th Republican Guard was carrying a Super Strela shoulder fired SAM, in case of an attack via helicopter or attack plane.

Meanwhile, in Beiraq, generals let out a cheer in the war bunker they were in, upon hearing of the success of the missile strike.

OFFICIAL IMPERIAL PROCLIMATION
http://usera.imagecave.com/CaptainDeath/Flags/shazbotdomflag.jpg
TO: All Nations Involved
CC: Leadership of The Nation of Beiraq
FROM: George A. Loak, Supreme Emperor of the Dark Empire of Shazbotdom

The Dark Empire is appauled at the blatant assault on a nations innocent civilians. We thus will take the following action against the Nation of Beiraq. We will launch a total of 1,000 Supersonic Cruise Missiles into targets within the Nation of Beiraq. These targets are subject to the will of the Dark Empire, and will most likely be Military, Governmental, and possibly Civilian Targets if we deem them as being used to store military weapons. The Nation of Beriraq has approximatly thirty minutes to appologise and wire compensation money to the Dark Empire so it can be re-routed to The World Soviet Party or they will face the wrath of the War Machine of the Dark Empire of Shazbotdom.

SCENE: Shazbotdom Military Command
General Greiven was looking over the missile tracks from Beiraq. He would use this to figure out where exactly they came from. They then zommed into the area where the missile tracks started from and located the launchers on the super zoom camera's built into the Spy Satelites. The General then went over and stared at the images that were being sent down from the satelites. he was standing there for roughly 10 minutes before he walked over to the computers that hold the targeting systems and put his hand on the shoulder of one of the workers.

Greivan: "Alright. I want you to start computing targeting solutions for attacks on any target that you deem as a threat to the soverignty of TWSP."

Worker: "Yes, Sir."

The worker then began typing quickly into the computer and locked in targeting computations for hundreds of military and governmental targets throughout the Nation of Beiraq. He was certain to target any and all governmental targets that he could find.

The response was quick. A video message showed President Achmed Chalabi standing on a balcony, speaking to his people.

"People of Beiraq! The Empire of Shazbotdom wasnt us to apologize for attacks made during war! This is unaccceptable. This is war. War is not nice. What would happen if World War II was abandoned because the nations of the world demanded Britain repay Germany for Dresden? Or America repay Japan for the atomic bomb? We shall never send money for these damages, it is an insult to all of Beiraq!"

Shortly after delivering the message, President Chalabi, along with all other important government and military personnel were taek to secret underground bunkers all around the capital city of Lebadad.

Meanwhile, at the LZ, the entire force began to roll out towards the city. The Republican Guards remained at the head of the formation, with the BMP-1's and HT-106's at the flanks.

General Grevien watched the message on the screen from the president of Beiraq. He was disappointed. They blatantly targeted civilians and murdered them. He walked over to the red phone and was about to pick it up when the red phone rang. He slowly put his hand on it and picked it up and listened as the Supreme Emperor began to speak to him.

George: "General Grevien. I am giving you an official order. You are to fire at will. I repeat again, Fire At Will!"

The line then went dead and the General hung up the phone and turned to the men in the room. He walked to the middle of the front of the room and picked up a handset and spoke iinto it.

Grevien: "Alright men. Our orders are to fire. Prepare the missiles and launch the Garrison Aircraft. This is not a drill. Fire, Fire Fire!"

The missile bays of the Garrisons opened up as they were in the air. The missile holding bars then dropped down out of the missile bays, revealing the BGM-5 Hatchet Supersonic Cruise Missiles (WEB (http://shazbotdom.bashwebdesign.com/missile.htm)). There were a total of 800 missiles on a total of 80 Garrison Aircraft. The aircraft then began to exit Shazbotdom Territorial Airspace at their top velocity. Roughly 400 kilometers outside of Shazbotdom Airspace, the Garrison Aircraft fired their missiles. They started to fly towards Beiraqian airspace at High Supersonic speeds (Mach 6.5).

25 launchers, not included in the attack previously, were uncovered. Next to each was 3 more Scud-F missiles, other than the one already on the launcher. The Scud-F could go even farther than the Scud-E, and Red City was within its range. In rapid succession, all 25 launchers were fired. In only 20 minutes, 100 Scud-F missiles were fired. When they cracked open in Red City, a horrible discovery would be made. The missiles were not firing conventional warheads, but instead contained mustard gas and Tabun gas. It was Shazbotdoms fault. They should have left things alone.

Hundreds of thousands of mercenaries were now storming the shore, G36E's blazing. Men were falling left and right. A Leopard opened up, blasting a hole in one of the HSV-X1's. A mercenary reacted quickly, pounding the communist tank with his Javelin.

Helicopters and attack planes had been initially doing damage. This was rather evident by the amount of Achmaran corpses mercenaries had to step over or on as they hit the beach. To the Griffincrest troops, however, it was nothing. Dozens of Stinger missiles screamed into the sky. Sharpshooters also joined in the attack on elicopters, firing with deadly accuracy if one of the birds got to close.

The tanks now too were opening up. The massive Behemoth II's fired their dual cannons, causing the ground to shake beneath the men around them. Hundreds of Mercury AFV's sped around the beaches, dispensing smoke grenades and firing all three of their machine guns. The battlefield was now a scene of utter chaos. Bodies were stacked several high. Smoke, screams, sand, blood, and bullets filled the air. The men hoped that they would soon be able to push off this beach, and then push into the country.

The 3rd and 4th legions sat in the breifing room of the GDA Anima, the pride and joy of the small naval fleet of GDA, the carrier was being esorted by a battleship and 3 frigates.

"You, men, are going to be on the front line of a battle that shall be both deadly and long. You are to enter the feild of battle by para-droping behind enemy lines which should hopefully take them by surprise. We estimate our arrival in 10 hours and we should be in ground defense range in 9."

All of the WSP'ian helicopters were shot down in quick succescion, however, the A-10's remained unscathed.
The 2nd Armored struggled to keep the beach, its Benemoth III firing with deadly accuaracy at the incoming tanks, some more Leopards and Spartan IFVs joined the fight while snipers battled to target officers or pilots.
An artillery strike was to be carried out by Paladin Self-Propelled Artillery and M198 Howitzers.

Casualties: 400 Men, 25 Tanks, 10 UH-1 Hueys.

@ Beiraq
The marines readied their weapons, a scout team was observing the Beiraqis while the artillery, helicopters and tanks got ready to counter attack. They'd allow the enemy to get into their territory, and them sorround them (Missiles to Red City are still en course to my city).

The artillery strike just caused more chaos on the ground. Mercenaries and Revolutionary Guard bodies were tossed around like rag dolls. By this time, however, all 700 Behemoth II's were on shore. This would mean bad things for the Soviet defenders. All 700 of these massive beasts of war began pounding away at the enemy tanks and infantry positions. The ground was shaking as if an earthquake was coming upon the beach. Mercenaries were unable to hear orders from their commanders due to the boom of the guns. The enemy would have to break soon.

Casualties: 800 mercenaries, 20 Mercury's

The 2nd Armoured, realizing the hopelessness of their position, began to withdraw, retreat in maximium resistance, they called it.
Infantry was the first to leave, boarding transports or just going by feet, covered by tanks.
Then, covered by yet another artillery strike, the tanks started rolling back, into TWSP, while the Benemoth III provided heavy support and retreated too. The A-10s made a final pass before returning to their base.
This day, it seemed, belonged to Griffincrest Co.

(OOC: Now comes the Bocage =O)

Total Casualties: 1237 Men, 60 Tanks, 10 UH-1 Hueys, several APCs and IFVs.

Final dead counts showed nearly a thousand mercenaries dead, and several Mercury's and other tanks destroyed.

The final pass by A-10's was once again met by a volley of a few dozen stinger missiles. Several of the commanders on the ground expressed that they wanted to pursue the enemy as they retreated, rather than give them time to regroup, but the higher ups wanted to stay on the beach and set up and effective base camp. Thousands of artillery pieces began unloading off of more transports. About 150 BM-21's were already onshore. They began to fire over a thousand rockets into the retreating Soviet forces, while the rest of the army set up shop and assisted in unloading the rest of the artillery pieces.

Unbeknownst to the CA forces, the Pelicans had two helfire rocket pods as well as two 500lb missiles held on by four support/launch beams. The pelicans took off slowly to roughly 120 meters above the ground then rotated their engines and headed out towards the battle field. Their first target would be the Beiraqie miliary.

The 800 missiels began to cross into the terrirorial airspace of the nation of Beiraq and started to bear down on their targets. Amoung some of the targets picked was the governmental buildings in the Beiraqie capital city.

Final dead counts showed nearly a thousand mercenaries dead, and several Mercury's and other tanks destroyed.

The final pass by A-10's was once again met by a volley of a few dozen stinger missiles. Several of the commanders on the ground expressed that they wanted to pursue the enemy as they retreated, rather than give them time to regroup, but the higher ups wanted to stay on the beach and set up and effective base camp. Thousands of artillery pieces began unloading off of more transports. About 150 BM-21's were already onshore. They began to fire over a thousand rockets into the retreating Soviet forces, while the rest of the army set up shop and assisted in unloading the rest of the artillery pieces.

Most of the A-10s managed to evade the Stingers, except two of them. The artillery barrage on the retreating forces caused minor casualties, as this had been expected and measures had been taken to protect their way outta there.
The remaning artillery batteries were told to attack the beach non-stop until ordered to stop.
The 2nd Armoured was to meet with the 1st Combat Engineers and set up traps and defensive positions.
The 1st Mechanized Division was sent to the front.

As more and more artillery pieces were coming ashore, they were being ordered to issue a massive counter-barrage. Hundreds pf shells, and nearly a million rockets were now falling all over the enemy positions. Several Leopard II tanks drove ahead to harass the fleeing soldiers.

On shore, mercenaries were beginning to set up an air base, to enable them to gain air superiority and give the infantry support.

15 planes took off from the carrier, the first wave of GDA forces. The rest of the troops loaded up into WTG transports. The planes flew over the coast dropping their payloads.

Well, thanks for bombing Blackhelm's Mercenaries =D

Well, thanks for bombing Blackhelm's Mercenaries =D

OOC: Err, did you read anything before. Not bombs soilders.

here i will point it out to you: 15 planes took off from the carrier, the first wave of GDA forces

The planes flew over the coast dropping their payloads.

And I quote you back!

PWNED, since Blackhelm is in the beach, you are, thus, bombing HIS troops. Thanks =p

ah well played, you are truely a master. i was lazy and so i put payload. besides it sounds more like my troops are expendable. I meant not bombs.

SECRET IC:
SCENE: Just South of Red City
It had taken several hours but the Shazbotdom Marine Corps had gathered at the designated spot. They had no idea what was going to happen, but all of the men were perpared for anything that would come their way. The Men looked up and saw the AC-01's flying overhead. They would be the first strike against the Corporate Alliance, besides the missiles shot at the Nation of Beiraq.

The troops landed on the ground with no casualties, a few sprained ankles but nothing serious. The men started to set up camp and prepare for the rest of the legions.

OOC:
Not to be rude or anything. But could all invovled pelase put what they are using in the OOC Thread (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=498733)? And i mean the total amount of military forces that you are using.

The troops landed on the ground with no casualties, a few sprained ankles but nothing serious. The men started to set up camp and prepare for the rest of the legions.

Or so they thought, for as soon as they left their weapons to start working, a well coordinated Marine Sharpshooters started firing at them while Leopard II MBT rolled into the beach guns blazing.

The gunshots rang throughout the "camp" men droping to the ground in an attempt to protect themselves or because of wounds. When the Tank moved into scene the nearest Javelin team aimed and fired. The Javelin rocket cleared the tube and lost engine power 30 feet out, droping for a fraction of a seconed before the seconed engine cut in. The crew running for a more protected hidding spot.

Casualties: 5 dead 2 wounded.

The rocket didnt quite hit the tank, but damaged it instead stopping it right in its tracks.
However, most of the other Tanks made it into the Camp, were they started using their "Napalm Sprayers" on the unsuspecting enemy soldiers (next to the Co-Axial MG).

IC:
The AC-01 Pelicans approached the area and saw the javeline missile launch out of the tube. They were worried about the tank below but decided that their mission was more important. One of the Pelicans tipped it's front so it faced down slightly and fired off roughly 15 rockets from one of it's Hellfire Rocket Pods, then the pelicans used their afterburners to head out of the area, heading towards the naval vessels of the CA.

They were ordered to scout out the area, and did so by starting to climb out of the range of the Anti-Aircraft Artillary that the CA fleet was sure to fire at them. They would head to the highest altitude that they could before losing sight of the fleet.

OOC: have you heard of or seen a javelin rocket system? Also, is the napalm already lit?

As the tanks kept coming more javelins were fired. The carrier was radioed giving the suspected coordinates of the snipers, which was then sent to the battle ship. All 4 heavy deck guns were aimed at the targets, fireing at will until ordered to stop.

Missiles impacted the ground around the soilders igniteing the napalm powder and setting fire to the troops.

Casualties: 150 more slowly burning.

OOC: have you heard of or seen a javelin rocket system? Also, is the napalm already lit?



No I havent, but the rocket didnt quite hit the Tank though, and yes, its 1337 and burning :D

IC:
The Sharpshooters had to relocate, suffering heavy losses to the Artillery.
Suddenly, music filled the sky, looking up, one could see a group of A-10 Thunderbolt IIs coming at full speed, "Ride of the Valkyries" blasting through the speakers.
One half of the attack planes dived and started unloading their Miniguns on the enemy troops below while the other half targeted the tanks with their Bombs, Rockets & Missiles.

Casualties: 20 Sharpshooters dead out of 30.

OOC: no tanks yet landed for me. they are comming with the main force. and heres (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBB06L0Do5M&NR) a link. the missle is suposed to 'dud' out and then reactivate its engine.

The fires raged as more men fled from the bullets or died. No AA weapon had yet to be brought ashore so the men were vulnerable. Although some did try desperatley to shoot at them with their rifles.

Casualties: Another 250.

OOC: My military equipment is all on page 1. So is that of Beiraq, Achmara, and Toopoxia. And Shaz, are those like, Halo Pelicans?

IC: The airbase was nearing completion as the A-10's returned. Once again, dozens of Stingers were loosed as the enemy planes dove on them. An F-4 on patrol over the fleet picked up the Pelicans, and immediatly called for support. Around 12 F-4's were brought up, along with 30 Folland Gnats. These men were all brewing for a dogfight.

OOC: Kind of but modified. If I wanted I could send them into low orbit.

IC: The airbase was nearing completion as the A-10's returned.

Huh?

AFAIK, 31337 Soup's soldiers are in a whole different beach.

By the way, what happened to my F-22s and stuff and your F-4s?

IC: One of the A-10s got hit by rifle fire and sustained some damage, so he returned to base, the rest of them kept unloading their "shit".

IC:
The Pelicans saw the Missiles approaching them and began to climb rapidly. The pilots closed the emergency doors behind the cockpit of their aircraft and opened up the back hatch. Each aircraft had one drone built into the top of the craft above the back cargo area, they detarched from the top cieling of the inside of the Pelican and dropped out the back, letting out the same IDC as the Pelican they came from.

Several Pelicans were hit though from the missiles and began to fall apart. They then adjusted themselves so that they leveled out and began to decline rapidly, increasing their speed as they went along. This would hopefully make it harder for any missiles to reach them. This didn't help though as some of the pelicans fell apart completely, the Pilots ejected out and used their special parachutes to go as far as 40 miles away from the battle, landing behind allied lines.

The rest of the Pelicans that were unharmed began to break through the atmosphere. They also started to close the back hatch of their Pelicans so that they didn't lose all the oxygen inside of the aircraft.


LOSSES: 15 Pelicans destroyed. 5 Damaged. 8 Pilots accounted for. 3 MIA. 4 Dead.

Huh?

OOC: What gave you that idea? i stated they were landing near blackhelm. Or at least aluded to it. And have you posted tank losses from the javelins?

IC: the explosions rocked the ground as the screams of the dieing continued. A javelin team attempted to hit one of the planes by angeling the rocket into the path of the oncoming vehicle.

Totaled losses so far: 500 men.

3 Tanks were lost due to well-aimed Javelin fire, the rest of them started to retreat into the Bocage, while Artillery covered them with well coordinated barrages.

The flameing, pothole riddled camp exploaded as men flew about as easily as dolls. The battleship retaliated with fire into the bocage, this time with inciderary shells.

Losses: 223

Total: 723

The Artillery attack hit a convoy which was about to deliver food & reinforcements to the defenders. Casualties, around 500 men, trucks, war material, etc.

Now the Beach has been (OOC: hopefully) secured the Toopoxican soldiers have began the landing of forces, the first wave of forces has been landed consisting of 1,000 Regular Soldiers 100 Light Mortar Soldiers and the legendary Marksman Akre Toops.

One of the very shaken GDA soilders walked foward to greet the new arivals, he had the insignia of the legatus legionis on his Uniform. "keep under cover, there are still snipers out there and artilery rain down on us unexpectedly, i would like to talk to your commander."

The Battleship reaimed and fired again, using more incinderary rounds.

A GSF colonel approached the man called Akre Toops. "Colonel Marcus Bainblade. And you are..." he said, extending his hand.

A GSF colonel approached the man called Akre Toops. "Colonel Marcus Bainblade. And you are..." he said, extending his hand.

"Akre Toops..." Akre said bluntly, ignoring the Colonels hand, his eyes were fixed upon the horizon and his hands carresing the Rifle slung across his chest, he grabbed the Fedora hat he had lyiing on the ground and turned to the Colonel, "...Do you have a lighter? One of the Soldiers has stolen mine."

"Uh..yes sir, I do, right here" he said, pulling a gold Zippo out from one of the many pockets on his Kevlar vest.

"So you seen alotta combat before?"

"Uh..yes sir, I do, right here" he said, pulling a gold Zippo out from one of the many pockets on his Kevlar vest.

"So you seen alotta combat before?"

Akre took the Gold Zippo from the Colonels hands, he gave it a look of contempt, he hated Gold Zippo's, they gave off too much shine, he flicked the lid open pulled out a ciggy and lit the tube before flicking the lid back on and giving the lighter back to the General, "I've been in every major conflict of Toopoxia right from David Du'Fonts rise to power." He paused for a seconbd before adding, "Don't call me sir."

Over 1000 Revolutionary Guard forces were killed in the beach landing. It was now time for revenge. All 40 of the Raad 2 155mm guns began targetting the men pulling back through the woods. A massive barrage ensued, tearing large portions of the forest apart.

The rest of the men assisted in creating a defensive position and building the air base. Two dozen F-5's were awaiting its completion.

The 1st Combat Engineers was tasked to build minefields, tank traps, Napalm Traps, Punji Sticks.
Everything that could kill a man was used.

News Report
Today, a 9 o' clock PM, a volley Beiraqi SCUDs hit the Capital, Rec City. In a clear violation of international laws, these were filled with deadly gasses.
Luckily for the general population, the "Rush Hour" had finished long ago, and the gasses only killed a handful of people. Still, the country is in mourning, and the Council promised measures would be taken. All over the countr, Gas Masks are being handed by Goverment officials, along with videos and classes on how to correctly use them.

"So I'd presume you saw action in Hydac? I was there myself." the colonel said to Akre Toops. "And by the way, that is one fancy gun ya got there"

As the two men spoke, a small group of 120 men was sent out to the forest to disrupt supply lines and attack lightly defended camps.

Further away from the speakers, hundreds of artillery pieces and thousands of multiple rocket launch systems joined the Raad 2's, creating a firestorm upon the fleeing soldiers.

"So I'd presume you saw action in Hydac? I was there myself." the colonel said to Akre Toops. "And by the way, that is one fancy gun ya got there"

Akre smiled, he loved his gun and loved it when he got compliments about it, "Yeah I was in Hydac, I remember it was the first time the Toopoxicans saw Blackhelm, also the start of the Toopoxican Golden Age." Akre took out the ciggy and blew off the smoke, "Are you in charge of this operation?" He asked just to make small talk but also to gain info on the current situation.

"Uh no si-, no I'm not. The campaign commander is currently Admiral Lucius Ironclaw. He is sitting quite comfortably aboard that Kraken out there" the colonel said, pointing to the massive dreadnought positioned right in the middle of the humongous CA fleet.

"I am, however, commanding this section of the beach. I guess technically that that makes me your superior officer here now, don't it. We should be moving into the forest soon. Will your men be joing us?"

OOC: What fleeing soldiers?, they've alredy gotten to their bunkers =p

IC:
Artillery Batteries in-land were tasked to mantain a huge fire curtain to hold the enemy while the Army reassembled.

Explosions riped through the camp once more, disturbing the peace of the once quite camp. The battleship fired a reataliation artilery burst into the bocage.

"Uh no si-, no I'm not. The campaign commander is currently Admiral Lucius Ironclaw. He is sitting quite comfortably aboard that Kraken out there" the colonel said, pointing to the massive dreadnought positioned right in the middle of the humongous CA fleet.

"I am, however, commanding this section of the beach. I guess technically that that makes me your superior officer here now, don't it. We should be moving into the forest soon. Will your men be joing us?"

"Of course, several men are eager to see action, the last time we were involved in a war was in Hydac, I'm not in charge myself but I'll be sure to relay that information."

The Toopoxican Colonel had already seen the movement of Griffencrest soldiers and was pushing his way over to the Light Mortars, "Alright you bast*rds, move it up, Sergeant Kivnel, make contact with the Griffencrest soldiers in the forest and then ask where to position your Mortar team, go!" He shouted over the sounds of the beach landing.

SECRET IC:
SCENE: Shazbotdom Marine Command
The Supreme Emperor was sitting in an observation room while the normal rustle and bustle was going on in the main room of the complex. He saw maps, satelite images, and other equipment that was bought with taxpayer money to help the Marine Corps in whatever operations that they deem nessicary to the saftey of the Dark Empire of Shazbotdom.

In the main room, Grand Admiral Rockenbach was meeting with the rest of the high military officials. They were discussing the next steps that would be taken in the conflict in TWSP. The main thing that was on the table was if they should use the Starfury fighter craft for bombing runs against the forces of the Corporate Alliance in the region. They were discussing which military they should bomb first when the Supreme Emperor walked through the room and out the door. They watched him as he left and then continued their discussion.

OOC: Change the barrage to the bunkers then

IC: The full GSF war machine was now beggining to roll into the woods. The massive Behemoth II tanks were knocking down trees as simply as one would break a twig, clearing massive pathways for the rest of the army. Infantry raked ahead of the vehicles, sweepig for mines and other traps.

Aboard the Kraken, Admiral Ironclaw got a bad feeling about this forest. He had a feeling that this might be another Battle of the Bulge. He only hoped his luck would be as good as the Americans, and they too would repel the enemy.

The rest of the 3rd and 4th legions were loading into WTG vehicles from the carrier. The landing would be simple, no one waiting for them on the beach with guns, no earshatering exploashins rocking the boats.

SECRET IC:
SCENE: USS Shazbot
The Crew had new orders. They would set sail bearing Three Five Four mark Two Nine Seven. Only the command crew knew exactly what was going on as this mission took them towards the territorial waters of The World Soviet Party. Rumors were that they were to take on a new flight wing of aircraft, but the deck crew were unsure as to what these aircraft were. Rumors were that they were new versions of the Pelican aircraft that everyone knew and loved, but this was untrue.

SCENE: International Waters
The flight group of well over 125 SA-32A Thunderbolt-class Starfury's were en route to the Fleet, headed by the USS Shazbot. It was the dead of night, and the new metal shell that they had absorbed radar so that they looked to radar personel like a flock of birts flying in the night sky.

The sniper placed his crosshair on a tank commander's head, he waited for the tank to stop, then he held his breath and pulled the trigger.
At the same time, several AT-Groups came out of holes in the ground (NVA & VC style) while several machine guns opened fire.
The tanks would be here shortly, and with their help and the air-force's, this battle might be won.

In the wake of the second missile attack on the World Soviet Party, President Mackensie convened an emergency, closed-doors session of the Legislature. The topic of discussion was not released to the public, although many suspect it is related to the recent humanitarian mission sent to the WSP South East City, earlier in the conflict.

In other news: Forces at Trivalviapolis Grounds Forces Base were placed on heightened alert.

Warning to Trivalvia

Stay out of this, little nation. You do not know of the forces at play here. Should you attempt to assist TWSP or her allies, there will be dire consequences for your nation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile on the ground...

The commnader of one of the Leopards slumped down into the tank as the bulet pierced is skull. Infantry that had raked out ahead of the tanks saw the AT crews popping out of the holes, and opened fire.

Leopard and Behemoth tanks began to encircle the enemy position, knocking down the trees infront of them as they went.


At the fleet...

A radarman aboard the Kraken got a number of tiny blips on his radar. "Birds? They are up late" he said to himself, before getting up for a cup of coffee.

An F-4 over the fleet also picked up the blips. "Its too late for birds" he thought, and flew over to the area to see what these radar blips actually were.

Meanwhile on the ground...

The commnader of one of the Leopards slumped down into the tank as the bulet pierced is skull. Infantry that had raked out ahead of the tanks saw the AT crews popping out of the holes, and opened fire.


8 men were hit by enemy fire before even managing to fire their AT Weapons, the rest of them fired as fast as possible before getting back into their holes back to the bunkers.
Several A-10s flew by and started dropping Napalm Bombs on the unsuspecting Blackhelm Soldiers.

Fire exploded all down the beach as hundreds of men were caught in the napalm bath. Air support was called in and two dozen Gnats were called in to support the men on the ground.

As the AT crews dove back into their holes, the mercenaries were right behind them. Grenades, frag band white phosphorous, were tossed into the bunkers.

SECRET IC:
SCENE: Flight group of Thunderbolts
The thunderbolts were making their final approach to the aircraft carrier. It was nearing the straights just outside the territorial waters of England.

SCENE: USS Shazbot
The carrier groups orders were to set anchor in International Waters between France and England and thats what they did. They stopped right in the international waters between England and France and set anchor. The flight deck crew was keeping their eyes to the sky. They saw something off in the distance and began to ready the aircraft elevators to move the incomming aircraft to the underside of the ship.

The flight deck crew was then ordered by the Captain to head to their bunks while the aircraft was making their final decent. The command staff then came out to operate the elevators and other such equipment until the new aircraft was secure under the hull of the aircraft carrier. The aircraft began their final decent onto the aircraft carrier. The flight leader was going to be the last one to land, as this was standard procedure in the Shazbotdom Military.

(Several Minutes Later)

The flight leader watched as the last Thundebrolt landed on the aircraft carrier and was moved onto one of the many aircraft elevators, he then began his final approach to the carrier. He spoke back and forth with the tower on a secure channel.

Flight Leader: "Tower, make sure my approach is good."

Tower: "Understood. You better hurry too, we spotted aircraft from Griffencrest approaching the battlegroup. Were flying the flags of a non-existant nation so that Griffencrest thinks that were just out on a standard tour of duty."

Flight Leader: "Understood. Making my run."

The last Thunderbolt then started his decent, flying over the glimmering water towards the flight deck. He started to slow down his Thunderbolt as he looked up and saw the flashing lights of the Griffencrest aircraft. It's a good thing that his lights were off. He adjusted his pitch and slowed his aircraft down and landed right on top of one of the aircraft elevators so that his craft could be hussled under the deck as soon as possible.

The elvator began to move down. It's also good that the aircraft hanger inside the ship had the lights off so no one could see the silouette of his Thunderbolt. It was moved inside and hidden from sight.

GLOBAL IC:
The tower then called out to the incomming aircraft from Griffencrest.

Tower: "This is the HMS Pinniford to Incomming Aircraft. Please deviate from your current course. We are on a standard TOD and are heading towards the territorial waters of Russia for refueling and shore leave. Repeat, Please deviate from your current course towards our carrier group."

Fire exploded all down the beach as hundreds of men were caught in the napalm bath. Air support was called in and two dozen Gnats were called in to support the men on the ground.

As the AT crews dove back into their holes, the mercenaries were right behind them. Grenades, frag band white phosphorous, were tossed into the bunkers.

Dozens of men were caught in the tunnels, burned alive and then blown off by the grenades. Troops in the bunkers activated several explosive traps outisde the bunker before retreating to the the next fortifications, some kilometers behindf them.

The fire and smoke coming from the front line alerted the drowzy tank crews, after a few minutes waiting for confirmation the 20 Inforcers headed to assist there comrades. The 3rd legion followed in the APC's all 5,000 men strong.

"HMS Pinniford, I take it you are a British ship. State your home port so we may confirm."

"We are not a brittish ship. We are from a brittish colony that declared independance over 10 years ago. We stayed in isolation for several years. The nation we are a part of is 'The Freedom Loving Land of Brachaloa'. You can reach them at the frequency that we are texting to you right now."

Text message sent. Frequency number was registered to the nation listed, but based in Shazbotdom, although where it was based is not known to anyone. It's a frequency that is rearely used if ever.

SECRET IC:
SCENE: USS Shazbot
The bridge crew was watching the radar as the Griffencrest aircraft was still flying towards the ship. There was tensness with the bridge crew as they were wondering how long it would take for the Griffencrest aircraft to deviate from it's course. The captain walked over to the helm. He then walked back to the controls for communications and waited there for the next message to come from the aircraft, hopefully they fell for the communications signal to the fake nation that the ship sent to them. He looked over at the helm again.

Captain: "Helm. Set course bearing Three Two One, mark Two Nine One. Take us to a Russian port. We need to make it look like we are really heading to where we said were going."

A bell rang and then helm responded.

Helm: "Yes, Sir. Setting Course. Speed, five knotts."

The captain then walked over and looked out the window. He pulled out his binoculars and watched the griffencrest aircraft in the distance.

SCENE: BELOW DECK ON THE USS SHAZBOT
The flight deck crew was finally authorised to see the new craft that came aboard. They walked into the hanger area that was housing the craft and were in shock. None of the StarFury class aircraft had ever been stationed on a standard naval carrier in the 20 year history of their existance. They had always been stationed on the MSF Blagraland in orbit. The flight deck crew was standing there watching when their CO walked up and handed them a copy of the orders that brought the Thunderbolts here. They were transfered from Shazbotdom Marine Air Command on the mainland for testing purposes.

They were to see if they would launch properly from a sea based aircraft carrier with the modificatons made earlier in the year. And to do these test, they would be used in the war effort against Griffencrest and the Corporate Alliance here in The World Soviet Party. The first assault run that they would be used in would be in two days, if Griffencrest falls for the radio signal that was sent to them not too long ago. It all depended on the gullibacy of Griffencrest...

OOC: Is gullibacy a word?

IC: "Roger that all clear. Have a nice day" the F-4 pilot responded, before turning back around and heading for his carrier.

The ground forces continued pushing through the forest. Infantry were keeping there eyes open for any possible traps as they cleared the way for the tanks only yards behind them.

The GDA forces followed behind the griffencrest men, covering there flank.

OOC: What formation are your men using? A line? a huge, horizon covering line or a straight line? a circle? a square?

OOC: semicircle facing outward, with the APC's in the middle.

The 14th and 15th legions continued there course towards TWSP.

The Beiraqi army was now nearing the city. As of yet, they have been unopposed by enemy troops and were enjoying it. The city, as of yet unnamed near the Danish border, would be renamed Achmed city, after the glorious dictator. Murals were already planned on being established on various structures.

The Ababil batteries were now beggining to be set up as Beiraqi troops prepared to lay siege to the future Achmed City.

IC:

The Marines smiled at each other, they had accomplished their goal, enemy forces were now deep into enemy territory, sorrounded by them.
The first strike was ordered, 30 A-10 Thunderbolt IIs flew over the Beiraqi Forces firing their missiles at the tanks and dropping Napalm Bombs over the exposed artillery and infantry.
Hundreds of Artillery Batteries opened fire on them as well while Tanks drove into battle.

Meanwhile, on their bases near the border, the newly acquired B-52s were getting ready, their mission, firebomb the Beiraqi Capital, or, at least, some major cities.

Griffincrest forces were now moving relativly unopposed through the forest, and were now nearing a city. Hopefully, with the TWSP forces focused on Beiraqi troops, the mercenaries would splatter Soviet blood all over this nation.

OOC: Relative is such a liberal term *Evil Grin*, remember I have traps set all over the forest =P

IC:
The sniper had watched the Griffincrest Convoy advance through the forest relatively unopposed, he hoped to change this.
Choosing an officer, whom he had observed getting along with the men under his command, he aimed and pressed the trigger, then, without watching the result, he dissapeared into the hills.

OOC: This guy will harass your troops for a loooooong time :rolleyes:

"Fuck get down!" a mercenary shouted as hit the deck. It was to late, however, for the Lieutenant. The bullet splattered his brains all over a tree behind were his half-decapitated body lay. One of the mercs vomited, having never seen violence this close up before.

"We have snipers, get support" a nearby Field Mercenary radioed in. Soon, 3 Behemoth II's, making sure they had their hatches locked, rolled in, clearing out trees. Three men walked with each tank, to prevent it from hitting traps or mines, and allied air support was ordered up.

An artillery strike was called in to support the sniper in his hiding, all the movement and trees going down provided clear coordinates of the Griffincrest Mercs.

The artillery strike, although it killed roughly a hundred men and a handful of tanks, was what the GSF commanders wanted. As soon as the enemy artillery opened up, their position was tracked, and hundreds of 105mm and 165mm shells pounded the position.

This was unexpected, thus, men were not ready, the counter-barrage Griffincrest made resulted in 200 hundred dead plus almost 12 Howitzers lost.

OOC: How far from a city am I?

OOC: How far from a city am I?

I'd say 4, maybe 5 Hundred Kilometers.

OOC: Thats alot more than I thought

IC: The mercenaries continued moving. They hoped to be nearing some type of real combat soon. The men were getting restless.

OOC: Thats alot more than I thought

IC: The mercenaries continued moving. They hoped to be nearing some type of real combat soon. The men were getting restless.

Suddenly, a group of 5 WSP'ian soldiers appeared in front of the main group of mercs, they were chatting when they noticed the huge Benemoth II in front of them.
Slowly, they put down their guns on the floor and raised their hands.

One of the three infantry men accompanying the tank stepped forward to collect the guns, while the other two kept their G36E's trained on the men. The tank commander then radioed for a humvee, which soon appeared to take the men back to the coastal airbase. From there, they would by sent to The Husk Airbase, in the RFF.

The sniper observed the whole scene from his hideout, like before, he targeted an officer (the tank commander) and pressed the trigger to, once again, dissapear into the woods.

OOC: The commander never left the tank...

OOC: The commander never left the tank...

OOC: Oh, I thought he had his upper torso outside the turret, make that an infantry soldier then.

OOC: No problem

IC: One of the infantry men dropped. Another man, along with a passenger in the Humvee grabbed their guns and darted in the direction the gunfire came from. The man in the Humvee had infrared goggles, and would be able to spot the sniper soon, as the rest of the CA forces were to the rear.

One of the prisioners saw a chance to escape and tried to make a dash for the woods, while the other four turned to their captors and tried to take their guns.

"Now loading Second Wave forces!" The order was called out across the Transport craft as the second wave forces got ready, there was joking and laughing over the invasion to come, each soldier telling a different tale of the same battle, they each knew where to go and what to do as if like a machine they donned the thick Dyneema Armour and Helmets, after which they grabbed a P201 Chaingun from the racks and headed up to deck, several PAT Helicopters awaited the transport of the 80 soldiers for the second wave.

(OOC: Cyborgs? You have Halo Pelicans so Cyborgs?)

The prisoners had no chance. The M240 on the Behemoth opened up, along with the infantrymans G36E. The men were torn to pieces.

In the forest, the soldiers were hot on the snipers trail.

Said Sniper was getting angry, he had hoped to loose the Mercs easily, but they seemed to be having quite a good time chasing him.
He trusted the land mine he had just planted would take the fun away.

Indeed it did. The first mercenary stepped on it and was blown to pieces. The other was thrown, legless and screaming, against a tree.

Major Nathan Andrets smiled and kept going for the hills, to set his next ambush.

OOC: Im hoping to turn this guy into TWSP's Vassili Zaitzev =D

The Griffincrest forces were now nearing the 200 km mark as they advanced continually through the forest. Artillery that was being towed along was almost in range of the city.

OOC: Who is Vasili Zaitzev?

OOC: Who is Vasili Zaitzev?

OOC: You know, Vasily Grigoryevich Zaitsev (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vassili_Zaitsev), the famous russian sniper?

OOC: Never heard of him, interesting guy though. What city am I nearing?

OOC: Never heard of him, interesting guy though. What city am I nearing?

OOC: Gustavich, you can check the updated map on my siggy.

The military was now parralel to the Soviet airfield. The plan was to overwhelm the base, and use it as a forward base. The closest division was less than a mile away.

The 334th armored divison began to bear down upon the forces at the air force base. Leopard tanks followed behind the Behemoth tanks as they blazed a trail through the forest.

More than two dozen Hong-5 bombers left from their air field on the beach, their destination was the airbase. 16 Gnats flew up to accompany the bombers.

OOC: You know, Vasily Grigoryevich Zaitsev (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vassili_Zaitsev), the famous russian sniper?
Okay, whoever has absolutely no clue about the stories of the Sniper duel in Stalingrad ought to be huanted by Zaitsev's ghost...

The 15 A-10s the bases housed left for a final attack mission on the Griffincrest's Forces, they had AT-Missiles and Napalm Bombs.
Meanwhile, ground troops prepared their new "Chainsaws" (check my storefront, MG section *Evil grin*) while Leopard IIs and the Benemoth III, looked for good positions.
AT Units took their ammo and went to their hideouts and bunkers, artillery and mortars had already begun their attack on the enemy.

Tehr Bump

OOC: Is gullibacy a word?
OOC:
Not sure. It just sounded cool.

(OOC: Cyborgs? You have Halo Pelicans so Cyborgs?)
If your asking me, then yes I do have Spartans with the MJOLNIR Mark VI armor. I RPed the Research and Development of it late last year. Although i haven't introduced them into this RP yet as it could be considered late PMT because Cyborg technology hasn't been even tested with in RL.


IC:
SCENE: USS Shazbot
The captain watched as the Griffencrest Aircraft turned away. He then walked to the comm center and pushed a button to radio, USS Starcher, a Repulse-class Battleship/Aircraft Carrier. He collected his thoughts as he waited for the CO of the Starcher to get onto the horn, but he knew that he would have to transfer some of the Thunderbolt craft over to the three other carriers in the battle group.

-"This is flight leader Alpha to Flightgroup Alpha, turn Psychological on, over"-
-"Roger that Alpha Leader"-
In perfect unison, every A-10 in the group turned their speakers on, "I Cant Get No Satisfaction" by The Rolling Stones blasting through them.

OOC: Next time I'll use the Spice Girls *Evil Grin*

The mercenaries were kind of confused, but continued pressing into the airbase. About 30 had fallen in the attack, but they continued on.

The loud music only pumped up the soilders inside the APC's and gave new life to the ones forced to walk.

Achmaran forces seperated from the Griffincrest forces with which they had been following since the break out of the beach, and continued on their course for Gustavich. The plan was to force the Soviet armies to fight three different battles at the same time. This, General Al-Sayeed had hoped, would split up their army in such a way it would be easily crushed. Achmaran forces were beginning to cross the 100 km mark as the Raad 2's began to come to life. All 40 of the self propelled 155m guns opened up upon the city, smashing whatever was in the unfortunate path of the shells, be it a military or civilian target.

The armoured units sped ahead, weapons ready. They were hoping for a swift defeat of the Soviet defenders. They wanted to make the Ayatollah proud of their very first overseas engagement. They hoped he already would be proud of their accomplishments on the beach, being the first to land, but to take a city! Now that is worthy of honor.

SECRET IC:
SCENE: USS Shazbot
The Dark Empire of Shazbotdom was going to start an encrypted message to all the ships of the fleet. This encrypted televsision message would be patched through to all the Televisions on the fleet, hopefully it would pump up the enlisted men to do a better job. Captain Sysco was standing on the bridge watching out the window. He hasn't seen any aircraft from Griffencrest since they arrived at the Russian Port, which was a good thing. The carriers were to head north out of the port and launch attacks upon the weaker forces of the CA using aircraft and guided supersonic cruise missiles.

The Captain then decided it was time to go down to the aircraft hanger area and look over the new Thunderbolt craft and meet with their flight leader. He walked out the back hallway to the bridge and down the stairwell. It was a long walk as the bridge was 3 flights above the flight deck, and the aircraft hanger area was one flight below that. He saluted some of the enslited men as he walked into the hanger area. He saw a bunch of men in dark blue flight suits across the hanger of whom he didn't recognise and figured that they were the men who flew in last night. He walked up to them and they saluted him. He saluted back.

Sysco: "So, which one of you gentlmen is the flight leader."

Pilot: "Our leader is currently filling out paperwork to make the transfer official."

Sysco nodded: "Which direction is he in?"

Pilot: "He's over there."

The pilot pointed towards the rear of the compartment. Sysco nodded and then started to turn. He then noticed the pilot saluted him and he saluted back.

Sysco: "At ease."

He then turned and walked towards the man sitting at the desk in the back corner. He sulkly approached the desk and sat down without the Flight Leader noticing. He glanced over the paperwork and thought to himself, Paperwork like that is a waste of time. We need to just start doing this shit on computer, it would go quicker. It took a few minutes for the flight leader to notice Captain Sysco, but when he did he snaped his hand to salute and accidentally flipped a pencil a few foot away, onto the floor.

Sysco: "Don't worry about it." He pointed to an enlisted man and he walked over and picked up the pencil. "So soldier, whats your name?"

Flight Leader: "Master Sergent Victor L. Davidson, sir."

Sysco: "Well, son. On this ship were slightly less strict. I'm off duty right now. You can call me Jack when i'm off duty."

Victor: "Of course....Jack. What'd ya need?"

Sysco: "I just wanted to come down and see these new craft that were transfered to my ship. All i've seen are pictures and schematics. They don't really do the real craft any jutice, now do they?"

Victor: "No they don't. You can go over and look at them, they are in the little cubbie holes on either side of the large room."

Sysco: "Thank. Have a good day."

Sysco then walked down the large room and began to look through, into the cubbie holes at the new craft. He was amazed at how they looked. He's never seen a Thunderbolt be used in his life, and hopefully he will see one in action soon. He walked into one of the cubbie holes and touched one of the Thunderbolts, feeling it's smooth surface. It was much smoother than most of the regular aircraft on his ship. He then decided that it was time to take his leave and go to his quarters for a rest before his next shift. He exited the cubbie hole and back to the stairwell, where he went down to the crew quarters to sleep.

3 of the A-10s split from the group to target the unsuspecting Achmaran forces, the other 12 dropped their payload on the Griffincrest Mercs.
Meanwhile, artillery within the city opened fire on the incoming enemy, though several batteries and civilian buildings were lost to the Achmaran fire.
The Troops inside the city prepared to defend it with all they had, including their new "Chainsaws".

As the A-10's made their approach, Stingers and RPG-7's lit up the sky.

The Raad's quickly traced back the recent artillery assault, which killed about 25, and let loose another counter barrage. The army would be upon the city in less than an hour.

SECRET IC:
SCENE: Red City
The Shazbotdom Marine Corps began to fortify their positions on the outskirts of the city. They set up gun emplacements and a small command bunker in the basement of the most outlying unoccupied building. This command bunker housed some equipment for contacting the Satlites in orbit and other resourecs from the Dark Empire. They also had a direct encrypted radio link to the USS Shazbot and her battle group, which wasn't that far away, if they needed help. Outside, the men readied their XR-07 Full Auto Emplaced Guns, pointing them towards the area to their north.

SCENE: Red City Command Bunker
Colonel Mickelson watched the screens. Seeing the advances of the CA forces from a birds eye view from the satelites, he wanted to make sure that hopefully the GASN allies would be able to hold off the advance as long as they could so the Shazbotdom Marines could finish preparing the defences of Red City.

He tapped a few buttons and opened up an encrypted radio transmission to the leadership of the World Sovier party's leadership.

"Leadership of TWSP, come in. We are almost finished preparing the defences of Red City. We though wish to evacuate your top government officials if the CA forces get too close to the city. You could set up a sort of 'Government in Exile' until we are sure that the CA forces are driven out of your nation. Over?"

"That wont be necessary for now, but thanks anyways".

OOC: They are approaching Gustavich, not Red City.

IC:
@ Achmara
2 of the 3 A-10s were shot inmediatly, the other one managed to fire its payload and throw its napalm bombs right into the middle of the convoy before being shot down as well.
The counter barrage did little damage as the defenses had been now properly prepared, once again, a counter barrage was given.

A little over two dozen men died a fiery death to the napalm, but many were saved and continued to push. Only 50 km now until they reached Gustavich.

Four Raad's were blown apart. It seemed like the Soviet artillery wished to go blow for blow with the Achmaran artillery. Once more a counter barrage was fired, and this time, Griffincrest air support was called forth.

2 B-52s along with 30 F-22s (escort duty) were sent to bomb the achmaran line, each of the B-52s carried 60,000 lbs in conventional and napalm bombs. They flew at 50,000 feet.
Another artillery barrage was ordered.

Casualties: 20 men, 1 cannon.

The B-52's were called up at a poor time, because Achmaran forces already called in for air support. A wing of eight F-4 Phantom II's picked up the B-52's from a long distance, and launched their AMRAAM's, then continued flying closer. A total of 16 AMRAAM's were now en route for the bulky old bombers.

A total of 16 AMRAAM's were now en route for the bulky old bombers.

15 F-22s sped ahead to divert the AMRAAMs while the other 15 went to engage the now missile-less F-4s, each one of them fired 2 AIM-120s at the F-4s, totalling 30 Missiles.
The B-52s opened their hatches, in one or two minutes they'd start their bombing run.

OOC: The Gnats inly carry 2 missiles, the F-4 carries 8. Also, the AMRAAM is a top of the line missile. Those F-22's are probably going to die.

IC: The F-4's were quite apparently underestimated. They all realized that they would be shot down in the barrage, and so decided to release their payload and eject. All of the eight jets unleashed their 4 IRIS-T missiles, and the remaining 2 AIM 120 AMRAAM's. A total of 40 missiles were now screaming for the B-52's, hopefully before they released their napalm.

The Griffincrest Admiral in charge of the war typed up the following letter and sent it to Soviet heads of state.

"Your allies have, for the most part, abandoned you. They have instead decided to ignore your destruction to defend the larger nations. We suggest you surrender. Shazbotdom can only do so much. There are at least five nations already on your soil. Surrender, or you and your people will perish. It is the only way to save your countrymen from an assured doom."

OOC: The Gnats inly carry 2 missiles, the F-4 carries 8. Also, the AMRAAM is a top of the line missile. Those F-22's are probably going to die.

IC: The F-4's were quite apparently underestimated. They all realized that they would be shot down in the barrage, and so decided to release their payload and eject. All of the eight jets unleashed their 4 IRIS-T missiles, and the remaining 2 AIM 120 AMRAAM's. A total of 40 missiles were now screaming for the B-52's, hopefully before they released their napalm.

20 of the F-22 exploded in giant fireballs, shrapnel flew everywhere, killing another pilot and dmaging 2 extra F-22s.
The B-52s, however, remained mostly unscathed, with only minor hull damage, inside, the officer in charge pressed a buttonm and let go of its deadly payload on the Achmarans behind.

Casualties: 20 F-22s destroyed, 16 Pilots dead, 2 damaged F-22s.
Payload dropped on the Achmarans: 120,000 lbs in Conventional Bombs & Napalm.

ooc: can i join with the sides of CA since im a member

OOC: How were the bombers unaffected? The missiles are far more likely to hit giant bombers than almost stealth aircraft, and there are 40 0f them.

IC: The forces were now breaking into the base, massacering men left and right. Humvees were speeding into hangars, hoping to get there before the crews could sabotage the planes housed there.

ooc: can i join with the sides of CA since im a member

Of course

IC: The forces were now breaking into the base, massacering men left and right. Humvees were speeding into hangars, hoping to get there before the crews could sabotage the planes housed there.

OOC: How? I'll quote myself:

AT Units took their ammo and went to their hideouts and bunkers, artillery and mortars had already begun their attack on the enemy.

The only planes there are the A-10s I send to bomb you (which they have, yet you havent answered) who have already returned to the nearest Air Base (not this one).

OOC: How? I'll quote myself:

OOC: I thought that was in the city, sorry. But what about the bomber question? And are the chainsaws capable of piercing armour?

OOC: I thought that was in the city, sorry. But what about the bomber question? And are the chainsaws capable of piercing armour?

They are mostly an Anti Infantry, Anti Helicopter and maybe AA Weapons. Yes, they can pierce light armour (not a tank, maybe an APC or IFV depending on the armour) since they use 7.62x51 ammo.

(OOC: Well you didn't say anything against my Pygmalions (Cyborgs) So I'll carry on with the advance)

The Military base in Volitaia looked over the Satelite image of the battle going on in the Military base (right?) a few pushes of buttons later and the Pygmalion soldiers suddenly turned from their current activities and moved onwards towards the Military base, each one delayed by a certain amount of time to allow for a simultaneous attack.

The Troops pushed over toward the base, already Grey Foxes set up pointing out targets, a few controlled bursts from 1km away targetting the laser painted targets, priority came from Anti-Tank weaponary, the so called Chainsaws publically on view from the storefront and known to be deadly weapons against the Pygmalions.

(OOC: that is right, we are attacking a military base right?)

OOC: Okie dokie

IC: The massive wall of bullets tore through the mercenary lines as hundreds fell. The mighty cannons on both the Behemoths and the Leopards were quick to open up, but it was not before over a hundred men fell dead or wounded to these hellish weapons unleashed upon them. Humvees attempted to assist only to have their crews turned to chop meat and the vehicle filled with blood. The chainsaw positions were the main targets. Mortar and artillery fire was called down on them.

The Maldorian Military has assessed the situation and have decided to aid Blackhelm Confederacy. We are sending in:

500,000 Marines
2,000 Fett Tanks
1,500 Kilrain Artillery
300 Rocket Launchers


This will be our first wave of troops. An Air force will be called in when the craft are ready.

OOC: Yes, there are a few soldiers running around behind your lines though.

IC:
Half of the Chainsaws and their crews were blown to tiny bits, the other kept resisting while their own artillery, Leopard II's and the BENEMOTH III opened fire, the BIII targeting the BIIs.
Javelin AT Units fired rounds after rounds at the enemy tanks, while several RHINO APCs were sent to crush and stab the Cyborgs with their hidraulic horns.

The Aequatian Republic will be mobilizing its armed forces to support the defence of the World Soviet Party through our nations' collective agreement and mutual defence obligations with the Global Alliance of Sovereign Nations. As of this moment, the 1st International Reactionary Force is being deployed to Soviet bases. The deployment of the 1st Infantry Division will be completed within the next 54 hours.

Anson Air Force Base, Magna Casa, Aequatius Prime

Lieutenant-Colonel Mike "Blitz" Rocke walked along the tarmac as he witnessed his tank battalion being loaded onto Air Force C-5G Galaxy II cargo aircraft. The "naked" M55 Black Tiger tanks were rolled onto the planes without their normal ERA bricks added, so as to save space, and would be installed once they reached TWSP territory. While his heavy units were being moved onto the aircraft, his anti-tank elements, M922 Ferret light trucks with the new BGM-210 Spike anti-tank missile launchers were being loaded onto the relatively smaller C-180D Carryall transports. He continued on as the other elements of the 1st Brigade, 1st Infantry Division worked tirelessly to get the vehicles and personnel loaded and sent to TWSP so they could prepare the other brigades to deploy. They brought on the fight when they attacked our ally, now the Republic's hammer is coming down on them, Thought the veteran officer as he picked up his personal equipment and boarded the passenger aircraft for the brigade's officers.

Elsewhere around the base, the infantry battalions' vehicles and personnel were being loaded onto their respective transports. The M4A2 Spartan combat vehicles, the latest in a long heritage of Aequatian armoured fighting vehicles, were being loaded onto their transports while soldiers prepared their own weapons and equipment, before boarding passenger planes for the journey to TWST. Staff Sergeant Ross Dunstan, a platoon sergeant, slung his large rucksack (All-Pupose Individual Carrying Equipment or ALICE) over his shoulder as he directed his soldiers forward onto the C-180E, which is fitted with seats for infantry on long flights. His new G65 rifle hung from its sling on his pack as he followed behind the squads, "This is it people, we have our new toys, now let's show our people that they were worth every penny!" He said as a chorus of cheers went up from the platoon as the rest of the company boarded the aircraft.

While the airlift units were transporting the lead elements of the 1st Infantry Division, other parts of the base were preparing the combat wings of the 1st Expeditionary Air Force for deployment to TWSP to support the ground forces. Including the myriad of support aircraft, the centres of attention were the F-1C Banshee twin-engine Tactical Fighters and the F-1A Abbadon Air Superiority Fighters, which would sweep the skies clean and clear the way for the heavy hitters such as the BA-74 Arrow Attack Bombers and B-12A Vanquisher Strategic Bombers. Captain Terry "Archangel" Gibbons climbed into the cockpit of his Banshee fighter as he prepared to take off with the other members of his squadron. The twenty aircraft would soon be flying over the TWSP terrain either eliminating enemy aircraft or deploying munitions against enemy ground forces, either way, he felt great as his aircraft jetted down the runway and lifted off into the air.

There were 700 Behemoth II's, far outnumbering whatever amount of tanks the Soviet forces had. There was an even greater number of Leopard tanks, all of which were firing away at the enemy Behemoth III's. Mortar fire and artillery and rocket barrages continued targeting the chainsaws.

The infantry remained bunkered down now, untill all of the chainsaws were accounted for.

Although the first of the Aequatian Republic Air Force C-5G, C-180E and C-180D transports began to arrive over friendly Soviet airspace, they were still escorted by the F-1C Banshee fighters. A message was sent to the air traffic controllers within TWSP concerning the deployment zone for the Aequatian brigade as it arrived over their territory.

"Soviet ATC, this is lead cargo flight Alfa-India-One, requesting vector in for landing and unloading of lead elements, over."

OOc: Last post for the night, will be back at around 0900-1000 EST tomorrow.

Corporation buses pulled up to warehouses up and down the Empire, unloading Rulan Industries' employees a hundred at a time. Men and women were set to work delivering, packaging and loading supplies in preparation for the largest operation the Corporation had ever undertaken. With massive outside funding in recent years, Rulan Aggressive Management Solutions had swelled to become one of the largest subsidiaries in the Corporation. Nearly four hundred thousand men stood ready, with machines and military equipment manufactured by the Corporation on a massive scale. The next few weeks would be their greatest test.

The test of war.

-

In the port city of Dothmir, thousands upon thousands of Corporation M5 Century Main Battle Tanks stood silent upon the massive crate parks. In tens, they broke into a sluggish pace, and made their solemn way into the bellies of waiting cargo ships converted for their transport. The massive vessels were all part of the Corporation, which dominated every sector of Ansurian life.

The Corporation could put nearly a hundred and thirty thousand men and fifty-seven thousand vehicles, fuelled and armed onto an enemy shore with barely a break in service on the mainland.

SECRET IC:
SCENE: USS Shazbot
It was official. The Thunderbolts were being prepared for launch as Captain Sysco was being woken up from his slumber in his quarters by an Enlisted man. The main target would be the Toopoxian military. The Missile pods were being loaded into their chambers near the main missile firing mechinism and amunition was being loaded up into the gun ports. Several of the Thunderbolts had already been brought up on deck via the elevator system and others were being wheeled over to the elevators in the primary perperation stages. The bridge was abuz with activity as the crew was preparing for Level 1 readiness.

The radar room below deck was tracking any and all aircraft in the vacinity to make sure that the launch area was clear and there would be no aircraft collisions. Captain Sysco was walking down the hall and peaked into the radar room to see what was going on. He watched for a minute as the men in the room called out calls signs and other jargen that he didn't understand. Radar Talk, he figured to himself as he ducked out and began walking towards the bridge. He walked up to the door and then opened it up and walked into the bridge. As the door closed his 2nd in command noticed and yelled out loud to the bridge.

2IC: "Captain on the Bridge!"

Everyone turned and saluted, Sysco saluted back and they all went back to their duties. He remembered when he first took over the Shazbot from Captain Keys those 25 years ago. Since then the Shazbot saw some major overhauling with it's weapons systems and electronics to ensure it's place in the grand scheme of defending the Dark Empire and her allies. Sysco walked over to the radio and checked the communications. It was then that the message from the Supreme Emperor arrived. Although it wasn't on an encoded frequency, it was on an open international frequency that would be picked up by any nation that wanted to play it. Captain Sysco then patched it through onto the closed circuit television network that was on each naval vessel that belonged to the Dark Empire.

GLOBAL IC:
SCENE: Emperors Throne Room, Imperial Palace
The camera's opened up with a picture of the throne room. You could see many reporters throughout the room. George A. Loak then walked into the room and sat down in the large chair in the middle of the front of the room. Just below a large replica of the flag of the Dark Empire of Shazbotdom. He sat down on the throne and then a microphone was walked out to him. He took it from the Palace Employee and held it up to his mouth.

"The Dark Empire has seen some rough times. This surly isnt one of those times, but in the time of need for our allies, we must be called to help defend Soverignty for all those nations involved. The Corporate Alliance has attacked a good ally of ours, The World Sovier Party. We must rally our military out in the field to do the right thing. To defend those who need defending. We will stand in the way of tyrrany and corruption and help nations find the way to enlightenment when they embrace Soverignty. To our allies, May whatever God you believe in bless yourselves and your troops in this time of conflict and have them emerge victorious against the dark oppression that is bend on domination."

The Supreme Emperor then stood up to a thunderous applause and sat back down. He would field questions from reporters, but that was not to be televised. The Camera then zoomed in on the flag in the background for a few minutes and then faded to black...

The 20 inforcers arived behind griffencrest forces, and started targeting tanks and chainsaws. The APC's turned to provide a sheild for the tanks unloading men on opposite side as the fire. Javelins were launched towards buildings. infantry units charged foward towards the base, hoping the chainsaws would be distracted by other forces.


The second half of the fleet arived carrying the 5th and 6th legions.

The mighty P206 Chainguns rolled off the last few shells before whiring to a halt, new orders, onto a nearby city as directed by the Griffencrest, as was the case the first time the Pygmalions began to peel off from their activities and began the march towards the City, already firing positions had been picked out by Grey Fox recon, orders were to cause as few casualties as possible, where possible kidnap TWSP men for implimentation into the Pygmalion project, the P72 Tranq Guns attatched to the forearms were loaded and prepped for action within the city.

(OOC: PYGMALION!!!! Oh and Shaz, could you send some info on whatever attack you're making to my puppet Spooty (I only check Spooty TG's recently) so that I can accurately take losses.)

"Soviet ATC, this is lead cargo flight Alfa-India-One, requesting vector in for landing and unloading of lead elements, over."



"Roger that Alfa-India-One, you may land at the following coordinates, the yare being sent now, over."

The Benemoth III, though heavily damaged, was able to keep firing (at least for a while).
AT Units redirected their fire at the Benemoth IIs, while some infantry platoons tried to flank the Corporate Forces.

OOC: Where should my Expeditionary Force go?

The Imperial Undershi Navy troop ship Trafalgar made its way across the ocean, heading towards the far shore and the war against the Red Menace that was The World Soviet Party. Onboard were 10,000 True Undershi Army soldiers, along with 800 Viper IFVs and 150 Drake MBTs. These new forces would, however, likely be only the first of many, as the Undershi military seems set on preparing itself for further expansion of the Undershi Empire...

OOC: Just so everybody knows, Im swtiching from napalm to Thermobaric Weapons (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermobaric_weapon) which are a lot more deadlier.

OOC: Ohhh we bought some of them as well we have some of them from Hurtful Thoughts that are so big you have to push them out of large transport aircraft.

OOC: Ah, FAEs!!! Cool.

The Rynaldi Janissaries would be making a showing of themselves, or so it seemed - 20,000 of them were loaded onto two Imperial Undershi Navy transports and were on their way, set to arrive shortly after the True Undershi force from Undershi proper arrived. Still, they could no doubt be put to good use...

OOC: Undershi, land near the Danish-German border and help out Beiraqi forces. Please, don't randomly nuke things here.:D

IC: Soldiers began pouring over into the base. With most of the chainsaws gone, there main obstacle was just the Behemoth III. Almost 12 Javelin missiles hit the massive tank at once as men scrambled around the burning hunks that were once four Behemoth II's.

Another group of Hong-5 bombers flew in, once more unloading their payload on the Soviet defenders.

Almost a hundred more Hong's, defended by an equal number of F-4's, made their way towards Gustavich.

UNDERSHI:
I don't think so. You cannot have your main nation and your puppet in this RP. You already RPed your main nation, leave your puppet out of it. Puppet wanking is extremely wrong in the RP community and frowned upon by everyone.
