"And by the will of the people it shall be done." Andriy Rossakov, the leader of the Daranovan Independence Movement, finished reading the declaration of Independence from the Allied States. The Allied States of Rodinakov was made up for three small states bound together by a treaty several decades old. Although population had stayed roughly within the same boundaries, the nation had progressed from its old agricultural routes to a more industrial approached, mining ore and coal from the giant, possibly unpassable mountains and coal fields that bordered them.

The largest of the three states, Varishova, also held the ethnic majority with 75% of the Allied States population being Varishovans, with a smattering of Daranovans and Kharovans, with some Jews and Indians thrown into the mix. For years since the formation of the Treaty of Rodinagrad [1956] which had ended years of bloody war, the Varishovans had oppressed the Daranovans through tyranny by majority. Despite a vast majority of communists, some Varishovans even advocated such things as race war to force the Daranovans off their land.

The Daranovan Independence Movement, set up in '73 after a Daranovan school was bombed by a Varishovan nationalist, was an Independence and partially supremacist group set up to combat Varishovan nationalism and ultimately to liberate Daranova, as its manifesto stated. With the execution of the Daranovan politican Ivan Torrokovsky for 'traitorous acts against the motherland', the Movement had gained support, and in 2005 it became strong enough that fifty percent of Daranovans supported it.

So it came on the 8th October 2006, that Daranova signed its Independence from the Allied States, with control of a pair of infantry brigades, a squadron of interceptors, and a pair of Navy frigates, and an hour later, war broke out.

Daranovan - Varishovan Border, 14:15

"Echo Four Four, radio check, over."

"Hello Echo Four Four, this is Echo Four Three, OK, over."

"Hello Echo Four Four, this is Echo Four Two, OK, over."

"Echo Four Four, radio check over, out."

The three Tupolev 95Ms drifted over the northern water border between Daranova and Varishova, followed by a 95RT. They were, of course, searching for the Air RADAR Station at Batiga, which featured a pair of fairly powerful air search RADARs and an anti air battery which belonged to a DIM Brigade. These bombers would open the war by hopefully destroying the northern anti air presence. Behind them, six Su-24s with air to ground missiles would hit the supply depot their and the six Tunguskas stationed there.

No doubt the Air search RADAR had already picked up the Tu 95s, but they were out of the Tunguska's range, and there was very little they could do when each Bear, modified for Rodinakovan use, launched a pair of Kh-31s at the two RADARs, and although one reacted competently and switched off the RADAR, the other was hit and destroyed. However, the air search RADARs had not detected the Su-24s, which came in at low altitude and launched their AS-9s, knocking out all six Tunguskas and pulling up to come over the base with a laser guided bombing run.

"Shit, get the SAMs out, quick" Lieutenant Borsch ordered. His men quickly began to open the back of the truck as an explosion rocked the Lieutenants stance, and he turned to see another Tunguska explode in flames as they tried to hit the aircraft about to come over. As explosions ripped apart th supply depot, a young Corporal fumbled with his SA-7, trying to track a Su-24. It was to no avail, and the devastating attack was over as fast as it had came, the smoke and fires drifting off into the afternoon skies of Daranova. The Lieutenant looked around at the chaos of the supply depot, the wrecks of the anti air vehicles, the mangled and bloody corpses dangling from bombed out buildings, vehicles, or just lying decapitated on the floor.

The war had begun.

Emperor Markander V read the news about the war with sadness.
Once again, a people looking for their own freedom was rewarded with death and suffering.
This didn´t suit him at all.
He reached for the phone.

===============================

20 hours later the decision had been made.
The 2nd Imperial Battlegroup was to be deployed to the area, to ensure that the conflict would come to a halt.

The battlegroups commander, Admiral Eriksson, was a veteran of the navy.
He had enlisted when he was 18 years old and served on the criuser VSN Amber Clad.
After a few years, we was reccomended to the Naval Warfare Academy to become an Officer of the Navy.

Despite being close to 70 years old, he was still one of the best commanders in the navy.

What do you have in the 2nd battlegroup?

What do you have in the 2nd battlegroup?

The 2nd imperial Battlegroip is made up of;

11 Carriers.
15 Heavy Battlecruisers
15 Ligth Battlecruisers
6 Battleships.
25 Criusers
30 Destroyers.

The reason that Vestern States can have these large naval groups is due to the fact that Vestern States has a very small army (250 000).
The Airforce is integrated with the Navy. This is due to tah fact that Vestern States is made up of several islands, making a large navy huch more usefull than a large army.
The Airforce is therefore based om the carriers.

OK. I'm pretty sure there's larger navies, so I don't really have a problem, but you should know that the area is pretty heavily mined and there are certain paths you have to take into the because of the odd geography that offers very low drafts around certain areas.

The United Empire of Colerica, after far too long from the international scene of events, has decided to reenter the gladatorial arena of world politics. The scars from the Colerican Civil War have never fully healed and we, like you, know how it feels to be suddenly thrust into conflict with your friends and neighbors. If you request it, we will use whatever means necessary to reunite your nation and bring the separatist forces under control your rule once again.

The People of PJM offer the people of Daranova their solidarity.

However the government would like to offer their Daranovian counterparts something more solid then solidarity.

We offer a mixed squadron (2 flights of saab JAS-39 Gripen, 1 flight of A-10 thunderbolt)

the 2nd regiment (mixed) 2 battalians of regular infantry (with a 3rd of reserves)

This is with supporting formations

we also offer the 1st light attack group (5 gun boats, and a missile corvete) and a hunter killer submarine

"Sir, we are getting reports from forward recon units that the waters are diddled with mines"
"Very well, order the destroyers to initiate mine-clearing operations. Make sure that we clear enough mines to allow for the cruisers to mode closer to shore"
"Yes sir"
"And contact Naval HQ, i want another Battlegroup to reinforce us"

=====================

The sun danced on the waves created by the massive warships.
With the combined firepower of the two battlegroups, this conflict would soon be brougth to an ending. Hopefully a peacefull one, and the force projected by two Battlegroups would make sure a peacefull ending.
