From: Imperial President Jefferson
"Hello?" President Batra said into the reciever.
"Hi." responded Imperial President Jefferson.
"Ah, mr. Jefferson, what is it?" Batra asked.
"My generals came to me with an intersting offer. They want the most brilliant strategists in the British Londinian army here." Jefferson responded.
"What? Why?" President Batra enquired.
"My generals say they want to work out a simulation of a war between our two grand nations." Jefferson told Batra
"Really!" exclaimed Batra
"Yes." Jefferson responded matter of factly.
"What if we go to war?" Batra questioned.
"If you go to war, all of the Nova Brittanican navy will send the strategists back with full speed." Jefferson answered.
"Very well!" sighed Batra
"Good." said Jefferson
"Bye." Batra said.
"Bye." Jefferson responded.

The strategists disembarked from their boat, accompanied by their Prætorian Guard detail. After all, these were vital to Londinian military survival. They went to the Presidential Palace.
The Nova Brittanican strategists met them at the Presedential Palace, taking them to the Strategy Room.
"We've drawn up the starting situation here. It is a situation where Nova Brittanica invades British Londinium, and British Londinium has time to prepare defences."
Simulation One
Admiral White waited for the final permission.
"All clear, enter British Londinian waters now." a voice from the communications room said.
These words would go down in history. Like a ghostly spector, the entire navy entered British Londinian waters and headed straight to Kensington.
SIC:
"The plan is still to go for Kensington, and then split the navy to catch the other cities off gaurd, correct?" the ship captain asked.
"Yes." replied Admiral White.

"Ladies and gentlemen, satellite imaging shows a Brittanican fleet sailing towards Kensington. We can not let them win. Let's go down the defence checklist," stated the Supreme Commander.
"Sir, we've entrenched the beaches twenty-five metres back, and the Londinium Wall defences remain fully functional, with coastal artillery batteries activated, reinforced concrete pillboxes in place, as well as mines, machine gun nests, and anti-tank defenses. The barbed wire fences have been rolled out, as it were, and caltropes and Czech hedgehogs litter the beaches."
"Excellent. And as for our massive urban areas?"
"Civilians have either been evacuated or conscripted. The sewer systems have been barricaded, and troops stand ready at the entrances to the urban areas."
"And for the ports?"
"Mines and guided torpedoes have seeded the waters, and access to strategic ports has been cutoff via defensive blockade."
"Good."
OOC: Can I have some details regarding the fleet?

IC:
The 1,500 ship navy approached Kensington, until the point that it was nearing Kensington defences. It then split in two, the main force of power continuing on to attack Kensington.
Submarines launched torpedoes at the mines, and anything else. The submarines then launched non-nuclear SLBMs at Kensington.
The other ships rained down death on the defences. One in every fifty shells were biological, carrying Anthrax. Three hundred shells were fired.

Kensington, 2300 hrs.
Missiles struck the capital, killing three thousand children as SLBMs hit an elementary school, and sixteen Members of Parliament were killed.
Bay of Kensington
Action stations. All hands, action stations.
The main bulk of the Royal Navy was centred around Kensington, a total of two thousand vessels. Submarines moved to intercept, and mines exploded as Brittanican ships hit them. Guided torpedoes, directed by radio, homed in on Nova Brittanican naval forces.
RAF Kensington
"All aircraft, scramble! Go, go, go!"
Seven hundred and twenty fighters soared over the Brittanican fleet, strafing them with missiles and machine guns. Five hundred bombers carpetbombed the fleet as well.
Charlie Beach, two kilometres from Kensington
"Shit! Anthrax! All men, gas masks!"
It was too late for some. A good two hundred men breathed in anthrax and would be dead within the hour.
Royal Engineers started to work on repairing the two cannons taken out in the bombing, as well as rebuilding the barbed wire.

"All hell men! Send out the planes!" screamed Admiral White.
A total of nine hundred planes soared up to combat the Londinian planes. One hundred of these pulled out, headed to bomb the Londinian fleet and Kensington.
Meanwhile, the navy continued shelling the Londinian navy and Kensington. Anthrax shells had stopped, replaced with extra high powered explosive shells.
Rest of Navy
The navy started heading to the rural area to deposit troops.

"Tell the submarines to fire SLBMs at the British Londinian navy. Top of the line Trident IIIs." Admiral White said, wearily.
And so it was done.
"Tell the other ships to keep firing at the British Londinian ships and Kensington. Primarily the British Londinian ships. Once they're out of the way we can get the troops on ground." Admiral White ordered.
And so it was done.
"Seeing as how most of the planes dropped their bombs right before they were blown up, tell the remaining planes to fight off the British Londinian air force." Admiral White demanded.
And so it was done.

"We're headed to kill everyone in Waddington, take their supplies, and continue on, correct?" a captain asked Admiral Longfellow.
"Yes. We should arrive their soon. Remember, our mission is to spread the British Londinians out." replied Admiral Longfellow.
Nova Londinium, Nova Brittanica
"Send the rest of the airforce in now. Tell them they're to bomb all the islands south of the one Kensington is on. Even if we fail to capture Kensington, and the invasion is thwarted, we'll have made them to weak to counter attack." Imperial President Thedore Jefferson said.
"Sir, why not send the Imperial Elite to invade the closest territory, British Fiji?" asked a general.
"Brilliant idea. We'll need boats though. Hire civilian crafts to get the Imperial Elite to British Fiji, unnoticed. Tell the air force they aren't to bomb there, unless we tell them to." responded the Imperial President.

"Enemy missiles, inbound."
"Activate the ABM programmes."
The supercomputer Victoria whirred online, and with her immense processing power, directed the ABM batteries to intercept the Brittanican missiles. A few made it through the network, sinking a carrier whose ships were still in the air, and sixteen frigates.
"Keep firing the anti-air batteries at the enemy aircraft." Sixteen thousand batteries continued to pummel the Brittanican airforce.
"All submarines in the area, launch all SLBMs at the Nova Brittanican navy." Five hundred submarines launched twenty missiles each.

Admiral White's Fleet, Battle of Kensington
The supercomputer Defensio launched sattelite missles and misslies from the boats themselves. Altogether, most of the missles were stopped, but two crusiers, eight destroyers, and twenty frigates went down.
Yet the shelling continued, and Admiral White ordered the last fifty SLBMs to be launched.

"Activate ABM batteries."
"Activated. Only fifteen made it through."
"Damages?"
"The Houses of Parliament were completely destroyed, twenty thousand dead in the northern island, six thousand dead in the southern island."

"Shit, sir! Our network let through eight SLBMs!"
"Fuck it. What happened?"
"Our runways are totalled, two thousand soldiers dead, and our ports were damaged."
"Damn it. At least our planes can take off vertically."
"Start shelling the enemy. I want all artillery to bring them down."
Thousands of howitzers and cannons rained down two million shells in the course of the next hour. Five hundred thousand of them contained ricin.

As soon as the SLBMs were launched, the fleet started retreating. They had exchanged shells as they retreated, until they had gone out of range.
"We did what we were supposed to, destroy the military capabilities of Waddington. We're heading west, now. We've got to drop these troops off before they're killed." Admiral Longfellow ordered.

"Capture all artillery and batteries. Once we've got them will turn the tide of this battle!" ordered General Fredrickson.

"Scramble the jets. I want those aircraft destroyed. Hurry up and take us west. Keep anti-aircraft fire up. Don't let them win." demanded an angry Admiral Longfellow.
Meanwhile, the supercomputer Defensio was watching over them. It retaliated in full against the cruise missles, but the flag ship, Supernova, was hit hard.
"Have the engine at full power. All unnecessary items are to leave immediantly. All hands to the pumps, this ship cannot be lost." said Admiral Longfellow, throwing unnecesary items off the ship.

Battle of Kensington
The heroic Imperial Elite finally all arrive, or atleast the ones that survived the trip to the beaqch. They start battling theie way up the beach, killing many British Londinians. At the gates of Kensington however a massive force waits, and kills all of the Imperial Elite.
Meanwhile at the seas, the number of ships continues to drop, and then takes a sudden dive around the time of the defeat at the gates of Kensington. Admiral White orders the fleet to continue fighting, until the "fleet" is down to fifteen ships when they surrender.
Admiral Longfellow's Fleet
Jets and anti-aircraft fire eventually see the attacking aircraft dead. They then arrive at the island west of Waddington undisturbed. They deposit their troops and then return to Nova Brittanica. The troops sucessfully storm the island, taking a little over half of it. After the Battle of Kensington is lost though, the military comes down full speed on the troops, killing them all.
Epilogue
Battered, Admiral Longfellow's fleet returns to Nova Brittanica. After news of the loss of the war, an all out draft goes out.
British Londinium retaliates. A costly invasion takes all land in Nova Brittanica other then Lesser Britain, the main island. Eventually, the order comes, and the last island is attacked.
However, unlike the rest of Nova Brittanica, this island is not taken. In all the other territory taken by British Londinium, riots and rebellion rage. In an effort to stop the war, British Londinium sends it's full force at Lesser Britain. The island is taken, but at a cost.
British Londinium is forced to sell Lesser Britain back to Nova Brittanica, on the term that Nova Brittanica is a colony. The two costly wars, were the nations invaded each other, are death blows to both nations. Nova Brittanica has been turned into a tiny nation with very little money. British Londinium is turned into a huge imperialistic nation, with trillions in debt.
Imperial Presedential Palace, Nova Brittancia
"Well... This seems like a horrible way to wage a war. Nova Brittanica a local union of poor cities, and British Londinium a huge nation suffering from debt. It seems likely that the two wars that have spawned in Scenario One would be the beggining of the end for both nations. Nova Brittanica would try to thrive, but would be destroyed by civil war and inevitable invasion. British Londinium would not die militarily, but instead have to sell it's resources, land, and even people to pay off the debt." Admiral White observed.

"So. On to the next scenario. This one is a secret invasion of the Britannic Commonwealth of Eurasia. I'd say Nova Brittanica is more likely going to win, but we will see." Admiral Longfellow said.
Scenario Two
A massive festival was being held between the two nations, taking place in British Londinium. Immigration control into British londinium from Nova Brittanica was nearly nonexistant. In the festivities, thousands of civilian vessels had gone to British Londinium from Nova Brittanica. However, almost all of them had armed soldiers in them, who were disguised to take over the Britannic Commonwealth of Eurasia.
