IC Thread (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=512446)

Bueno Tierra is a continent in turmoil. While rich in natural resources, the people that call this continent home are constantly at each other's throats. The corrupt dictatorships that rule over Bueno Tierra opress their populace, and often engage in pointless wars with their neighbors. Civil wars are the norm, and the whole continent is ripe with assorted insurgency groups.

The point of this thread is to allow nations to colonize the continent of Beuno Tierra either through conquest or diplomacy. Basic statistics for each nation have been provided. More details will be edited in over the course of the next few days. I hope to create the IC thread a day or two after Christmas.

Thread Rules
1. The IC thread will be closed. Telegram me if you wish to participate. Anyone is welcome to post in this OOC thread.
2. The thread will be MT. I will be the final arbiter as to whether or not any given item qualifies as MT or not.
3. No super wanked military hardware. If you bring something into play that seems radically overpowered, I may ask you to tone it down.
4. I will be role-playing the native nations, but my own nation will not be participating.
5. No PC nations will start off already owning territory in Beuno Tierra.
6. The thread will remain friendly OOC at all times. I will arbitrate any arguments that pop up as fairly as I can. If I make a decision regarding an argument; I expect the argument to end, and for everyone to move on with no hard feelings.
7. Once you get approval to participate, post the forces you plan to use in this thread before role-playing them IC. I don't need to know every miniscule detail, but I do want to make sure a nation of ten million people isn't sending in five million troops along with 400 B-2 bombers. You get the idea.
8. No nukes, bio-weapons, rods from god, dominator cannons, or other role-play killers. Chemical weapons are ok.
9. By participating in this thread, you agree to fight any other thread participants IN THIS THREAD ONLY. Wars that develop here should be confined to this continent unless agreed upon by relevant parties.

Non-Government Factions

Cali Drug Cartel
Description: The Cali Cartel oversees a multi-billion dollar drug operation, which focuses on cocaine and marijuana. With the police and government officials in their pocket, they are a finely tuned profit making machine. They don’t take kindly to disruptions.
Stronghold: Guayaquil
Resources: money, political influence
Personnel: <3,000

Earth Now
Description: Earth Now is an eco terrorist group. They are few in number, but their supporters are fanatical. Their tactics include spiking trees and conducting guerilla warfare against various corporations. Mining and lumber companies are popular targets.
Stronghold: Amazon Rain Forest
Resources: some money
Personnel <300

People’s Unification Brigade
Description: Roughly 12 years ago, Los Verdes and San Marcos were one democratic nation. A bitter dispute over land distribution resulted in a bloody civil war. Two generals led the strongest factions. Both factions eventually became nations led by their respective general. The People’s Unification Brigade is a guerilla group dedicated to unifying and restoring democracy to Los Verdes and San Marcos.
Strongholds: Los Verdes and San Marcos
Resources: people, public sympathy
Personnel: >65,000

Por Christo
Description: Por Christo is a militant religious group in Quito. If they had their way, Quito would become a theocracy with Roman Catholicism as the nation’s official religion. Quito’s leader, a Roman Catholic, tolerates the group as he considers their support essential to his continued rule.
Strongholds: Quito
Resources: people, public sympathy, some money
Personnel: <40,000

United Socialist Movement
Description: All the communist parties of Bueno Tierra operate under one banner, the United Socialist Movement. The USM hasn’t entirely caught on with the local populations, but they are gaining momentum with impoverished sharecroppers, who approve of the USM’s land distribution policies.
Strongholds: everywhere
Resources: people, some public sympathy
Personnel: >160,000

Eastern Alliance
Description: The Eastern Alliance is an alliance of tribal warlords, which have taken hold of eastern Santiago. While each individual warlord has their own agenda, they are bound together by a common goal: the overthrowing the government of Santiago. Unlike most other groups, they are sufficiently well equipped to face the government in open battle. However, they seldom do so as they favor guerilla tactics.
Stronghold: eastern Santiago
Resources: men, weapons, some public sympathy
Personnel: >60,000

I'm also checking out a new player that asked to participate. I'm going to read some of their posts before officially adding them, but they don't seem like a crackpot, so they'll likely be added.

Hope we get some good guy nations to signup.

Most of the bigger nations that have signed up so far have indicated via telegram they won't be fielding massive armies, which I consider a good thing.

Added some more people & edited in some more nation info. I'm still looking for 4-5 more people. More good guys needed ;)

Hey, I could be good. If I wanted to...muhahaha!

Consider this a signup.

I think I could take part, too. Sign me up.

Sounds fun. I'll sign up.

I find this effort commendable, consider me joined.

I added a few more nations to the approved list. There is still one new nation I am checking out, who will probably be added. I am pretty happy with the number and quality of nations that have signed up so far. At this point, we have enough nations to get started.

Signup is officially closed. I might make an exception if a nation wants to join if I think they are a great role-player, who will add a lot to the thread.

I've spoken with around half of the nations that have signed up. None of the larger nations are planning on sending massive forces as far as I know.

I am going to attempt to add more details to the map and desciptions of the native nations later today.

Count me in.

Count me in.

Are you sure you're a "great role-player who will add alot to the thread" ?;)

May I take San Marcos, and then sell it for money? I don't need more land, I'm 2x the size of Russia.

No

The map has been updated to include names for all the cities. After coming up with maybe ten city names, I started stealing heavily from real life South America. The cities' names in most cases don't match their real life locations. If you end up taking control of a city or nation; you are free to rename it to whatever you like. Just tell me here, and I'll change the map.

You might have to refresh your browser to see the changes to the map.

I'm going to try to write up some information about the various insurgency groups and non-government organizations today (the 26th). I expect we'll get things rolling on the 27th.

Hope ya'll had a good Christmas.

Excellent Stuff! I've started on my back story to why suddenly Kingdom Forces will begin appearing, I will TG you the basics once its finished so you can OK them all Dartia :)

I did, same to you.

Could you be a grass roots government, one inclined to expell the invading armies cutting up and annexing Bueno Tierra?

There will definitely be a few groups dedicated to driving off foreign powers, but they won't exit until you guys start showing up. There will also be some groups that would welcome intervention.

Anyway, I am writing up some of these groups right now. There will be all sorts of groups ranging from drug cartels, religious fanatics, communists, and your generic freedom fighters. I hope to have that stuff ready in a couple hours.

OOC: Signup's closed, unless you're a good RPer who can add to the thread.

EXACTLY why you shouldn't participate.

I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I have to (temporarily) withdraw from this RP. It seems like we're going to spend holidays out of town, so I'll be unable to post within the next 7-10 days. After that, if it'll be still feasible, I'll continue if possible.

Check TGs?

EXACTLY why you shouldn't participate.

The rules for this thread plainly state that OOC conversation should remain friendly at all times. Since you aren't participating in this role-play, I'm going to have to ask you to refrain from posting here unless you have something worthwhile to add.

No problem. When you get back, you are welcome to participate. Chances are things will slow down for a couple days around New Years anyway.

Have fun on vacation.

Post #3 had been edited to include information about some of the non-government factions. As the IC thread gets started, more factions will likely emerge.

May I liberate some nations?

When is the IC thread starting?

When is the IC thread starting?

Tomorrow

Please remember to post any force you intend to deploy in the OOC thread before using them IC. Don't worry, if you decide to call in reinforcements or something, you can always post another deployment.

Also, be advised that signup has been closed a couple days. New nations are not being accepted. Sorry. If a few people drop out or become inactive, signup may open again.

Tomorrow

Great, just in time for when I start writing my term paper. :p

I'll get to drawing up an OOB now for my first deployment to some war torn nation... I'll find a valid excuse.

When I open the thread tomorrow, the first post or two will give everyone the excuses they need to intervene... either for the good of humanity or for profit :)

When tommorrow will the IC thread be posted?

Ahem, I dont take kindly on people conquering cities (such as Buenos Aires, which is placed in its RL location).

One tip, Santa Cruz is beneath Rio Gallegos, in Santa Cruz province.

And I live in Rio Grande, a mere 200-300km North of Ushuaia.

OOC: Why the hell did you guys lose the Fakland Islands? Why!!!

And I live in Rio Grande, a mere 200-300km North of Ushuaia.

I know not all the cities are in their real life locations. Some of the cities I've listed don't even really exist in real life. When I made the map, I put the dots where I wanted cities. I was going to give all the cities original names, but after naming 10 or so, I started looting names of real life cities in South America.

Mmm, I'll probably use a force projection fleet, which is aobut 400 ships of different kinds, and land a few dozen infantry divisions, but how many exactly depends on what other people field. If put in dire straits I'll likely reconsider the scope of engagement (either withdraw or pour more troops into it).

well, being a larger nation and keeping to the spirit of not deploying a large number of forces what follows is what I intend to deploy

1 amphibious assault ship
1 light carrier
1 battlecruiser
2 cruisers
4 destroyers
4 frigates
2 attack submarines
2 fleet replenishment ships
2 tankers

Aboard the assault ship will be a surged complement of 710 Royal Marines and four IFVs while the light carrier will be transporting a small contingent of utility and attack helicopters for their (RM) use and a handful of multirole fighters to support the mission.

Hopefully that suffices for detail and in terms of content is not too much and keeps in line with the thread's aim and objectives. But any other posting won't follow until much later as I am off to work for the day.

I intend on deploying three naval attack groups, three B2 bomber divisions, five fighter squadrons, and two divisions (a total of sixty thousand troops.)

The Kingdom will first be attempting to try and diplomatically get some land for military assistance/one off payment. If that doesnt occur then I will have to assess what forces would be needed to get me properly into the RP :)

(For those who don't know this is Independent Hitmen's puppet nation)

What sort of governments do these countries have (eg. democracy, monarchy, dictatorship, Etc.)?

Consider this a tag. I might attempt to join in at a later time though, if I have the time and can think up a good RP angle for the Empire.

@Prae
I believe he stated most if not all are military juntas and other forms of dictatorships. But, I'm also curious if there's any other types of governments there.

As for my forces I went relatively small:

-------------------
The stats for the naval vessels can all be found in Aequatio's storefront, save for the Battleaxe. That can be found under SU's storefront. Note that depending on the amount of resistance I recieve this force is subject to change. But I'll post all changes in this thread beforehand. :)

planned deployment to Bueno Tierra

Naval Forces
30 malcontents class frigates
120 squirrels-with-knives class heavy transports
67 Artabazus class heavy destroyers
50 natyx class aircraft carriers

total force of : 373 warships , 43 submarines

Airforce
2 B2 bomber divisions
10 fighter sqaudrons (each sqaudron contains 230 fighters)

Army

21700 heavy infantry (equiped with g2 fully customised FAMAS rifles and 9mm beretta's samurai's edge)
8 imperial Legions (Each Legion contains 7,000 of my best soldiers , all armed with 9mm beretta's samurai edge and BR55 Battle Rifle)
120 light reconaissance vehicles (LRV) plus crews

needs editing ,

Probably I'll only be deploying a couple of teams of marines, perhaps with some light armor support, and special forces. This continent looks ripe for regime change.

Airforce
10 fighter sqaudrons (each sqaudron contains 230 fighters)


So, you are deploying 2300 fighters and only two bombers?

@Prae

Most of the nations in Beuno Tierra are corrupt dictatorships or military juntas as Cravan said. There are a few exceptions. I will update the nation descriptions to include more details about their government types shortly. That is something I meant to do earlier, but ended up overlooking.

Azazia, British Londinium, Cravan, Kologk; the forces you have described wanting to deploy are approved. Allanea & Velkya, your forces are also approved, but I would ask you start off with smaller forces.

Itoruntian, your force seems a bit bigger than what I believe your nation could afford. You can post a smaller force on your own, or if you want I could chat with you on AIM to help you out. The number of soldiers you want to send seems reasonable enough, but your naval assets (particularly the aircraft carriers) and perhaps your air forces seem a bit big.

When is the IC thread starting?

I've updated the nation descriptions to include the names of their leaders and their form of government.

Kroando, your forces are approved.

When is the IC thread starting?

I am about to start writing the first post right now. It will describe an event, which leads to a chain of other events that cause the continent to descend into chaos. Not everything will happen at once, so it may take several posts on my part describing the breakdown of order before you guys decide to start intervening/invading.

Sign me up please.

Sorry, signup has ended already. If this thread turns out well, it may become the first in a series of similar threads, which you will be welcome to participate in.

I'll keep it slim, don't worry.

I'll keep it slim, don't worry.

Your forces were approved. I'll trust your judgement.

The IC thread has been made. I am currently trying to set the stage for you guys to get involved, but it may take a few posts for me to get there. I am trying to paint a picture of a continent descending into chaos, so everyone will be justified sending in the marines.

My apologies to all the nations that have asked to participate, who were turned away. I've had to turn away around 12 nations just to keep the number of people in the thread reasonable. All you guys that got passed up this time will get first shot at participating in the next one (if this one turns out well).

British Londinium,

Regarding the control of forces... Once everyone starts getting involved, I doubt I will be able to effectively manage all the native countries' military units by myself. When you fight the locals, I will try to give you a general idea of what you are up against, and let you role-play the results.

In the great scheme of things, even the strongest native nations are weak compared to you guys. Most of you should be able to handily defeat any native you fight in open battle.

What I am mostly interested in controlling the attitudes of the native nations. Depending on your goals and the nation you are involved with, you may be well received. Alternatively, the a native government may welcome you while their citizens try to kill you.

Most importantly, I want to control the diplomatic efforts of the native nations. I want the native nations to be able to intelligently form alliances with some of you or even try to pit some of you against each other.

OOC: Why the hell did you guys lose the Fakland Islands? Why!!!

We originally lost them in 1833, the 1982 war was but a mere longshot to try and distract the populace from the human right violations the Military Junta was comitting (so was Tatcher's war, to keep her in power, but meh), when we lost, everything went downhill and Democracy returned (much to our despair, some laws were passed preventing further trials, and the other president then gave pardons to the officials, of course all this is no longer in effect as it was taken down by our current president).

I probably won't be able to post anymore today.

Feel free to continue role-playing. So long as you keep it at a reasonable pace, I don't mind if you role-play both sides of battles against the native nations. Until some of you guys start fighting each other, I will probably be a bit strained to keep up (especially today since I had to write all the opening posts).

Eventually, I am hoping the native forces will play a minor role in the thread, and most of the thread will be you guys doing stuff with for/against one another.

Once I get an idea who is on what side, I'll probably have a flurry of diplomatic message to write as native nations try to recruit you to their sides.

Are there any factions in Santiago that would be receptive to being placed in power as a kind of Kologkian puppet?

Are there any factions in Santiago that would be receptive to being placed in power as a kind of Kologkian puppet?

The United Socialists Movement might go along with something like that.

The current dictatorship is not overwhelmingly popular with the citizens. There are a few minor freedom fighter type groups, but none of them are terrible large or well organized. Your intelligence agencies believe if some outside power (such as yourself) publicly supported regime change in Santiago, it is likely one or more factions might emerge in support of that.

I'm about to get caught up on what has happened IC. Will be posting there soon. I suspect I'll have a lot of posting to do, so I hope nobody will be bothered if my posts are brief and not super eloquent :)

Are we permitted to send in more forces? My understanding was that we were to keep our forces small , just a few ships, couple thousand men, however Velkya is now attacking my fleet with 200 vessels. My original force of 15 ships was not meant for any major war, just to defend the coast line. However I understand that smaller numbers are not going to work in the RP... so... ill be needing reinforcements.

The thread rules do not prohibit large forces, but most of the people involved sent small groups anyway, which I encouraged.

If any of you come under attack by forces larger than your own, by all means feel free to call in reinforcements.

More an idea of whats been put on standby and most likely to be used than an actual deployment list, but here are possible ground forces. The Paratroops are fully airmobile in transport aircraft.

Dartia, is everything OK with my attacks in Belem? Still waiting for a response there.

A small, elite group of soldiers, Special Directive Unit 1 and 2 will be assigned the task of supporting the government in Tierra.

This force has the best equipment Moorish money can buy, it has unrestricted access to the digital coffers of Maxen von Bismarck, and has his express permission to carry out the successful establishment of a free capitalist enclave in whatever country looks healthy enough not to turn communist.

This force will be supplemented by the constant vigilance of the Blue Core of Moorington , a devoted and devote set of individuals who specialize in making the impossible just merely difficult. It numbers around 10 thousand troops, and will drop by glider, amphibious assault vehicle, and airplane if the need arises.

We had a major thunderstorm/flash flood last night and this morning in my real life hometown, which knocked out my electricity for a while. I'm gonna try to respond to everyone's posts now :)

My nation will be deploying the following.

House of James & Island Mafia, your forces are approved. Have at it :)

It just occured to me that having an electric stove, I ought to make myself dinner in case my power goes out again. If the power cooperates, I am going to try to answer all the posts that need responses in the next few hours.

Some more forces deployed to the air base:

150x OA-5A Wasp CAS fighters
48x SuFB-8 Phoenixes (redesignated Strix)
12x CSuB-4 Super Hurricane Heavy Strategic Bomber

Looks good to me.

On a completely unrelated note... Ya know what bugs me most about really bad weather? Walking my dog. I live in an apartment, so I have to walk my dog whenever she wants to go out. She absolutely hates the rain, but more importantly she hates crapping in wet grass. So, when I take her outside to go to the bathroom, I have to practically drag her around while she gives me pitiful looks. Naturally, she won't go potty. When I eventually take her back inside, she immediately parks herself by the front door and starts whining because she needs to go to the bathroom. Argh.

Anyway, more posts coming in the IC thread.

I noticed some sort of war is brewing involving British Londinium...

And the war is over.

Dartia, you have not mentioned 'Allanea' at all in the Belem posts.

What's wrong?

And what's the name of Belem's capital? I'm pouring troops into it, I deserve to know.

Ya, I made a big post about Belem, but I had a brain fart and addressed my post to Oceania, but I have since fixed that. Belem's capital is Caracas. On the map, the bigger dots are the capitals.

These aren`t all for the inital invasion, but I`m adding them to my list of units avalible ok?

Well now it would appear that we both have our eyes on Puno wouldn't it. I expect my defensive alliance pact with both them and Mendoza to be signed sealed and delivered (as it were) by the time your attack starts.

My 1st Parachute Brigade will be flown in pretty much immeadiately with a naval convoy containing the majority of my 2nd and 5th Infantry and 3rd Tank Brigades along with other component parts of Kingdom III Corps. Naval escort on the transports will heavy as it is one of the biggest overseas deployments we have ever made.

I will also be beginning to base aircraft in Mendoza once the treaty is signed, squadrons of fighters and fighter bombers along with support assets. Equipment lists for them will be posted here soon, although most technology used will be British in origin with a few improvements and missile wise I have a supply deal with J Corp for AS-1M and AS-2B Anti-Shipping missiles along with AAM-3 Long Range Air to Air Missiles and various SAM's and Anti-tank missiles. Ill get links and or stats for them as well.

Happy hunting!

Ahh crap,;) I tried to choose the one place I didn`t think anyone would be looking at... Anyways, do me a favor and try to go easy on me? I`m rather new to this sort of thing.

Dartia, if you get a chance, could you respond to my post?

haha. Yeah dont worry, you outnumber me quite a bit armour-wise on my planned deployment with about parity on infantry. Air power and Navy wise should be about equal in numbers but I have a heavier support side than you. Could get interesting :)

TG me your msn if you want/have it and we can have a further discussion over that :)

Damned supplies... I love making the large powerfull armies, but I always forget about the logistics and supplies.

This seems like a very good idea and everything looks to be planned out well. Man I wish I could have joined, but you have too many people now.

So can we say I'm being escorted to Sucre?

This seems like a very good idea and everything looks to be planned out well. Man I wish I could have joined, but you have too many people now.

Ya, I tried to make it as organized as I could. If I were to start it over again now, I probably would have recruited another player or two to help role-play the native nations.

If you are interested, perhaps you could role-play a couple of the native countries?

So can we say I'm being escorted to Sucre?

That is fine.

A small, elite group of soldiers, Special Directive Unit 1 and 2 will be assigned the task of supporting the government in Tierra. While this government will not doubt be 'installed' it is hope there will be a significant grass roots movement in support of this Moorish outpost.

Special Directive Units are essentially a hybrid between a internal security force and a elite part of the army. Closely following in the footsteps of Hitler's notorious SS these men are devoted and devote. Loyal to a astonishing degree they happily die in service to their country.

Though these men are born killers, they are gentleman. Making sure wounded are taken care of, punishment for crimes dealt with, and fighting ends at 5 sharp and starts at 6 sharp the next day. The usual precursor to the morning battles is a cup of imported Abream coffee reading that morning’s edition of The Wall Street Journal.

This force has the best equipment Moorish money can buy, it has unrestricted access to the digital coffers of Maxen von Bismarck, and has his express permission to carry out the successful establishment of a free capitalist enclave in whatever country looks healthy enough not to turn communist.

This force will be supplemented by the constant vigilance of the Blue Core of Moorington, a devoted and devote set of individuals who specialize in making the impossible just merely difficult. Numbering around 10 thousand troops, they will drop by glider, amphibious assault vehicle, and airplane if the need arises. This would be a vanguard to a host of more ships and soldiers if need be, but for the moment profit is needed, more so than a military victory.

Hope that Dart and IslandMafia dont mind but Im gonna skip the boring flight for my paratroop guys and say that they were in Puno for about 2 days before the IslandMafia invasion started?

Also say that my Naval Force (stats below) is about a day and a half from being in combat range of yours?

Hope that Dart and IslandMafia dont mind but Im gonna skip the boring flight for my paratroop guys and say that they were in Puno for about 2 days before the IslandMafia invasion started?

That is fine with me.

Btw... all new forces posted are approved. I'm about to hit the IC forum, but be forewarned I only have an hour maybe an hour and a half to write today. I have some New Year's Eve plans :)

Btw... if any of you guys know of someone you think would do a good job helping to role-play the native nations, let me know.

I'll roleplay Cuzco from now on since I took them under my wing if you'd like. It would actually be easier, since I'm training their troops and supplying them and such. I may make a military factbook in here, soon, as well, with just a rough outline of their equipment, forces, etc. I plan on using them later to accompany my forces on some missions.

I`m thinking I`d better find my self some more naval units... But anyways, Happy Drunken New Years Everyone!

I think he was looking for a un-biased player, and even though it is reasonable to RP your own Cuzco backed government, it would hardly be fair if you RPed the 'real' government.

If Dartia thinks it fine, go ahead, but there is always problems if there isn't a third party, or at least somewhat third party, player controlling the local government. If we don't, we'll all have something like "No, they'll do that!" "Nu-uh, they'll help me!" "You don't know what your talking about!" ect ect...


Btw... if any of you guys know of someone you think would do a good job helping to role-play the native nations, let me know.

Well, I wasn't feeling to inspired to play out Moorington, since really, I hate having the monotony of having several thouand troops against a couple thousand ect ect...

Playing as some native forces would be interesting. Would limited Moorish supplys and monies be acceptable? I don't want to make the native forces a complete walk over.

Once the crumbling rebellion is stamped out, control of Cuzco will be yours. Like Moorinton said, I am mostly wanting nations that don't have a direct stake in the native nations to role-play them.

Your help would be appreciated.

We could do this one of two ways. Either you can take over a few nations and role-play them, or we can both continue to answer posts in the order they are received. If we do the latter, after each bath of posts, we could just include the # of the last post we responded to.

Regarding the sending of help to the native nations, it does seem reasonable. Whenever a war breaks out around here, you can usually count on a few people providing money and material to one side or another. If you think a the natives could use a little help, that is fine, but lets keep it small (like a few billion $ worth of stuff per nation tops).

OOC: Which is an interesting question:

What do I need to accomplish to control Belem?

OOC: Which is an interesting question:

What do I need to accomplish to control Belem?

It is hard to say in specific terms exactly what you need. Vaguely speaking, you either need to convince the locals that accepting your government is in their best interest or crush whatever resistance they offer.

I'm hoping that with Moorington helping now that we'll get caught up so things can pick up a little bit. Heck, I may even try to reflect what people control.



Hehe... it is 7:30 in the morning where I live. I didn't sleep last night, and drank a fair amount. I'm hoping I don't come back and cringe when I read my latest batch of posts. :)

Moorington, I believe I've responded to everything up to the start of page 5 if you feel like writing a post or two. I'm gonna catch some zzz's, and will be back later.

Happy New Year, everyone!

Thanks, and I like the second idea. Sorry for disappearing, but I had to catch my own sleep before it totally disappeared.

Al, personally I feel that the natives will always harbor some resentment, unless some of you really start a in depth profile RP on what you’re changing and how.

I am one of those fanatical old guard look-alikes that enjoy digesting all material, and like producing page long monstrosities, so I fear my judgment clouds for one player if he wrote more, if not exactly well, compared to writing less but with more quality. If you just feel that rambling isn't your thing, keep it like Dartia's, quality mixed with good dashes of length.

Hmmm, shall we say that my paratroops only managed to get two of their three Regiments into the country before my Air Force decided it was a little too hairy for transport flights? The third Regiment can be diverting to Iquitos to join the expected Mendozan counter-attack or to form its own?

I'm thinking that Lord Tedemore would have been moved with the President and his aircraft destroyed, rendering him in contact only via satellite phone to HoJ people.

In my post I've assumed that there are Mafia forces coming ashore near Puerto Blanca too, but that can be changed if there arn't any assualting there :)

Post is coming pretty soon!

Oh and Happy New Year to all you guys :)

First off, Happy New Year!

That sounds like a very generous offer, I hardly think Mafia would be willing to shoot down some aircraft with obviously modern and imperialistic backers. Yet ebing generous is always good, so sure.

Mafiaic forces are indeed coming ashore, and have established beachhead, but no real headway has been established. Throwing them back into the sea is still a viable option.

Dartia, feel free to RP that rebel attack against me, or point me to it if I didn't notice it. I've really nothing to do atm.

Alright. I am about to whip out a batch of posts. I'll start with that.

Can I join the rp since it seems like some of the people who original wanted to participate didn't go threw with it?

small update to troop levels, two infantry brigades are now in theatre, one moving north towards Flora the second digging in around Salvador as well as providing humanitarian relief assistance to the civilian populace. Within a few IC days expect a reinforcement of ships from the RN--I'll keep it small to a dreadnought, her escorts, and a supply convoy.

I intend over the coming IC weeks to airlift an entire light infantry division into Salvador (and perhaps Flora if taken by that time).

In terms of airpower, given the limited space on the ground, the RAF is limited to two fighter squadrons, one squadron of AWACS aircraft, and one of refueling aircraft.

If possible, even a rough sketch of what sort of troop/aircraft/ship strength/equipment I'd be facing moving up along the San Marcos coast would be greatly appreciated if I am indeed to attempt to realistically RP their resistance.

Much thanks in advance.

God, I hope I`m Rp correctly. Not alot of experience in this sector.

It seems like Dartia has given me permission to join this rp. I hope I have a good time here. Here's my military force on the way to Bueno Tierra.

Howdy

The server was down two days ago when I tried to post, and I was hella busy yesterday. I don't have work or school tomorrow, so I am going to try to get caught up as best as I can.

I'm back, I hope I didn't cause any major plans to go awry with me missing so much. A bad habit of school, it causes other things to be sidelined for its duration.

Hmmm....thread seems to have died?

Yeah, and it was so good to...

Ya, I guess it has. Sorry for that.

It was sorta an experimental moderated thread. Between the message board and telegrams, I was spending a couple hours every day trying to keep up with this thread. Unforunately, I couldn't keep up once Christmas vacation ended.

If you guys wish to continue, feel free. Maybe you can find someone to moderate it or just role-play the natives yourselves.

Anyway, sorry

it's entirely understandable; and i think for an experimental sort of thread it seemed rather successful. myself, i think i will continue it or if not incorporate what happened into my larger RPs or such. so well done.

By all means do incorperate what happend into you future role-plays. You guys can continue with the Bueno Tierra thread if you like. Just assume all the native factions act in their own best interest.

Indeed, if I get any time again I will try to continue this thread. If not, I'll also try to acknowledge what happened in future RPs. It was fun while it lasted, and hopefully it can live again sometime.
