Southern Ossyrian border

Gen. Rondon Dyeus, Supreme Commander of the Ossyrian Imperial & Royal Armed Forces, received his orders from the Minister of War and Home Defense that the Chamber of Delegates in Urushalim had approved in a 88-13 vote that military action was permissable in acquiring land to provide the nation with access to the Gulf in the south. This had been a hotly debated topic in Ossyrian politics lately, but in the end the Federal President and Prime Minister and even HIRM Emp. Markos IV Orlan had approved the action. Approximately Four hundred thousand (400,000) troops under Gen. Dyeus' command were to launch a suprise attack into unclaimed lands, fighting off indigenous forces in the process and were to set up a fortress-capital at the opposite coast for the new territory.

The enemy consisted mainly of two tribes, the Dagda and Poti, both of which had populations within Ossyrian borders. Criticism against the attack came mostly from these two minority groups who felt this was a violation of the sacrosanctitas of their ancestral homeland. Officially, though, the Chamber of Delegates and the other two houses of Congress said that this was a war of liberation and that the intended goals of the effort was to uplift the natives and bring them into the modern world. Many of the peoples were nomadic and the few major cities they did have were unprotected for the most part. Gen. Dyeus felt this would be an easy victory to help bolster his career and popularity among the people.

The first strike began that morning with missile attacks in the heart of Dagda territory in the east, aiming for their capital city. Aerospace Forces were ordered to make airstrikes against three villages close to the border, Gen. Dyeus' tactic for this fight was to overwhelm a few villages at once, reinforce their position with more troops from home and advance. He felt the backwards tribesmen would not be able to organize a significant resistance to their massive strike and had even hoped that they would be grateful for allowing them in the Union. While this may be true of the Dagda, the Poti in the west were well known for their love of independence. Ossyrian troops were specifically ordered not to enter Poti territory or strike at their warriors. Any Poti caught in skirmishes with the Dagda were ordered to be set free immediately in the hopes that the Poti would not consider the Ossyrians to be aggressive towards them and to keep them off guard.

A small number of Ground Forces were ordered to enter the Dagda lands dressed in traditional Dagda dress, riding on horses and concealing their weapons, to act as scouts. Tanks were to follow with heavy infantry and once the word that the airstrikes were over, enter the three villages and seize control.

((OOC: Elysian nation needed to RP the resistance, also a map will be provided of the area that is being claimed))

As the first missiles and rockets begin coming down, the locals realize something is up. And that something is probably an invasion from the north. The Degda government immediately mobilizes it's small regular army and calls out the militia. The first sweeps through the border lands meets little resistance, aside from the odd farmer with an AK-47. Then things start go get a bit tougher.

The local militias begin hitting the enemy with raids and fade attacks, doing their utmost not to be pinned down by superior forces. Not being trained up to the same standards as the full military might of the Ossyrian army, they begin taking heavy casualties. However, they are devoted fighters and are fighting on home turf.

In the mean time, the regular army emplaces its troops around the capital. It's small arms are mostly Soviet Bloc and they use outdated anti-tank guns and other old equipment. However, they are dug in and waiting.

Undisclosed Dagda village under Ossyrian 'protection'

"General, news from the front!" Major Borrs was the Infantry Commander Lt. Gen. Dryas Sabazo's aide-de-camp. He excitedly burst into the makeshift bunker that served as the HQ for Sabazo and his men in northern Dagda territory, carrying with him a number of documents in a manila folder. "Our forces have advanced into hills of central Dagda territory, suffering minimal losses. At last report, casualities numbered approximately 150. No enemy casualty reports are in yet, but are believed to number in the thousands."

"That's good news, Major. So far, though, we have faced only unorganized militias. The Dagda Tribal Alliance forces are believed to be concentrated around their capital and may take several airstrikes and thousands of our dead troops before we hold that city. They sit and wait for us, like the porcupine protecting their babes from the vicious bear. Or something like that. Anyway, the point is this fight is not over until their capital is under Ossyrian 'protection,' and these militias are only a secondary concern." 'Protection' was the preferred term used by the Ossyrian government instead of occupation or other terms which carry negative connotations.

"Yes, sir. True, sir. Gen. Rondon Dyeus and Gen. Oro Bormis told me personally that you are hereby ordered to begin distribution of the propanganda leaflets to avoid any killing any non-combatants and hopefully lower their willingness to fight." He dropped the folder on the General's desk. Normally such matters were not his concern, but since the abolishment of propaganda officers, it was now.

"Very well, Major. I want you to make an endless number of copies, don't stop. I will have my flight officers notified that you will be assigning these leaflets to them and they will drop them over the Dagda villages and capital."

Despite strict orders to the contrary, Ossyrian soldiers in the infantry division have been spotted firing upon and killing members of the Poti People's Army. This wpuld surely drag them into the conflict. When Gen. Dyeus received word of this, he put the blame on Lt. Gen. Sabazo since the perpetrators were under his command. It would serve no one to start accusing each other of wrongdoing or mismanagement of their forces now, they were already at war with the Dagda and now they would surely go to war with the Poti.
