It was an early morning in the deserts of North Africa. The sun was rising, lifting the freezing cold that came along with the blistering hot. 300,000 men, the newly mechanized infantry of Hataria, were waiting along the border of Hatarian Libya and Morocco. It had been said that it was a simple beefing up of border forces, but if Hataria's past was anything to go by, it was an invasion force. Several times now, the Hatarian Empire had tried and failed to take Morocco. The Moroccans had always put up a good fight, but the new Hatarian army was nothing like the old one..

For one, 20,000 trucks were in It carrying Troops (12 one each Truck) and Supplies for The Army, KA-52 Attack Helicopters. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlnzI67Axvk) about 500 of them were also in use.

a New Weapon, the TR-1 Armored Tank Walker, was also in use, The First 200of these Walking Tanks were going to be in use.

The Deadly CT-28 Desert Combat Tank was also in this New Invasion and these were oon on the March as the order came to The 12th Imperial Desert Force to invade Morocco.

The Army soon crossed The Borader at 7:00 AM.

Bump

Within the Mediterreanean Sea, the Wanderjarian Kriegsmarine had already stationed one small battlegroup which served as an offshore Command Station for AFRIKA KOMMAND, which was the Wanderjarian Special Operations Command Center in the region. In command of this organization was OberstGeneral Wilhelm Schwartz. An older General, he came from the Wanderjarian SeeBatallion (Wanderjarian Marine Corps.) and eventually joined the Marine Grenzschutzgruppe-9 (Wanderjarian Naval Border Guards Group-9). Now a desk jockey in charge of any African Operations, and with disgust he would recognize oh how few there were, it was his duty to the Reich, and to the Fatherland that he maintain a constant state of alertness to all situations developing in Africa which might require Wehrmacht attention.


Now was his chance.


He was in his office, doing paper work on a recent injury by a Team member, when his red desk phone rang, and his heart stopped.

"Dear God," He thought while the red telephone continued to jangle, "We have a mission!"

Answering the call quickly, and barely able to contain his anticipation, he blurted, "OberstGeneral Schwartz, AFRIKA KOMMAND Kommandant!"

"This is the Office of Special Services, we have an operation for you."

"This line is secure," Wilhelm replied.

"Quite. Good. Now then, on to the problem shall we? A sizeable force of Hatarian Forces has landed in Morrocco."

"They are our allies, are they not? How is this a problem?"

"It is true that we have no hostilities with them, however it is the Reich's desire to see their Imperialist expansion...halted. We would like to see your GSG-9 do just this."

"Yes, mein Herr, but how shall we do this?"

"Hamper their advances in any way, but there is to be no link back to Wanderjar. They cannot know we were involved. We merely wish for you to support any localized resistance you can, and do everything in your power to stop them. Defeat the Hatarians or at least hamper their advance. We don't wish a war, but would like to try to perserve these people's freedom."

"Yes sir. I shall pass this information along to my XO and see what he has come up with."

"Very good. We at OSS are monitoring the movements of the Hatarians closely. Any intel we have will be sent down to you, and if you find anything you require to do your mission, it shall be at your disposal at your request. You have Level five clearence of five for this operation."

"Thank you herr comrade. I will watch them closely and then we shall do what we can."

"That is all das Vaterland asks of its sons. Good Luck. We shall be in touch." And with that, the phone went dead, leaving the aging General to his thoughts.

"Well," He spoke out loud to himself. "I suppose we should begin monitoring and waiting."

The Hatarians were on the Win in Morocco, The 12th Army had Captured half of Morocco (25% to be true.) with some 230 Troops dead when they fought off a Moroccan Attack.

The Hatarians were soon starting to plan for phase II, a Landing South of Rabat to Caputre The City and Conquer it for The Empire.

The war would continue.

The Xharnian spy satellites from HIVE had long taken positions of Hatarian movements near the borders of Morocco. The Central Military Command had left a garrison of 500,000 Xharnian Grand National Army personal along the border. They established several desert fortifications along with several small trenches equipped with AA guns and Whirlwind Missile Tanks. These massive satellite enhanced tanks could unleash barrages of ground shattering Krak missiles or anti ground to air missiles via thermal heat targeting and with certain missiles satellite targeting.

The Grand National Army of Xharn had orders to defend Morocco from the advancing Hatarian force and they began by ordering their elements of the National Air Command based in Morocco to begin bombing runs and interceptor missions against approaching Hatarian positions.


The Xharnian Death Korps Legions had also 25,000 Death Korps Legionaries forming the Cohort of Morroco. These Death Korps soldiers would serve as Xharnian Special Forces launching covert strikes behind enemy lines. These small five man squads were hidden all over the desert in the border. They would constantly perform recon missions and look for Hatarian positions and launch “painting” operations to allow Xharnian aircraft to have an easier time to launch bombing runs on their forward postions.

The Grand National Army waited for the Hatarians to be within their firing range and they would unleash a barrage of Basilisk Artillery upon the approaching Hatarian infantry. The Artillery was designed to drop a large shell of exploding rounds that would act like giant fragmentation weapons meant to hit and cripple the infantry.


They would then receive a nice wave of heavy machine gun fire from the entrenched Xharnian soldiers. These men were trained to fight in the desert and had the advantage of being on home turf. They also had men armed with Doominglandi designed submachine guns and with standard sniper rifles.

The Hatarian armor would meet the Predator Heavy Battle Tanks with their specialized anti armor rounds. These lethal terrors were designed to penetrate armor plating and explode inside it to cause damage to internal systems and in some cases wound or kill the enemy crews.

The Xharnians had pulled together their defenses and Field Marshal Johnny Walken the commander of Xharnian forces defending the region watched from his private bunker in Rabat.

The Xharnian Grand National Navy was also holding positions along the coast. They would defend Morroco from a sea attack. They already had their interceptors and bombers scrambling to intercept the invading Hatarian ships. The interceptors would provide air cover for the approaching bombers. The bombers had one mission to unleash death upon the enemy ships.

The Xharnian destroyers and cruisers prepared to unleash their cruise missiles and 18” naval guns upon the Hatarian ships when they reached strike range. Xharnian submarines prepared torpedo operations and moved into wolf pack strike positions to perform hit and run operations on Hatarian shipping. The Union had formally declared war on the Hatarian Imperial Republic. It was now a time for action…..

Later that afternoon, in the Carrier TOC (Tactical Operations Center), GeneralOberst Scwartz met before several dozen Wanderjarian GSG-9 Operators, all eagerly awaiting the briefing for the first mission they'd had in several months.


"First of all gentlemen, I want to address the fact that this is a COVERT and CLANDESTINE Operation." He stood at a podium in a well lit room before several rows of chairs filled with the ship's GSG-9 Team. They nodded as he spoke, each ready to take notes on what was to be done, and all were ready to do it. "Now that we have that settled, we can get down to business. First of all, we'll land two A-Teams and a Kilo team initially. The A-Teams will conduct guerrilla operations against the OPFOR, and the Kilo Team will, as its sole purpose exists, monitor enemy movements. The A-Teams other objective, is to meet up with the Moroccan Army, resistance, or whatever they have, and to assure them that they have our full support. We will be making arms drops to them in support, and will also help them fight against the Hatarian Imperialists.

One Operator, a Hauptmann Johann von Luck, raised his hand.

“Yes Captain?” The GeneralOberst asked, pointing to him and nodding.

“Mein Herr,” he began, standing. “What if the Moroccan Forces do not wish our support in the matter?”

“That is a good question, Hauptmann.” Schwartz acknowledged. “However the Hatarian Military is large, and surely better equipped than the resistance. They’ll need our help. I’m sure our reputation for helping nations such as theirs shall preceed us, and we’ll likely be welcomed by them. At least in a perfect world that will be our hope. But regardless, let us not worry about that until the time comes. For now, we need to land. You’ll be inserted via Zodiacs in the desert later tonight, around 0200 hours. As you make your way ashore, you have a green light to destroy, hunt, and kill anything you find, but try to keep it quiet and eliminate everything as quickly as possible to prevent them from being alerted to your presence. Once you kill something, disappear, so they think it is merely rebel forces as oppose to an outside element. However, A-Team Alpha, led by you, Hauptmann von Luck, is to make the predominate guerrilla attacks, while A-Team Bravo led by Hauptmann Ulhaan, is to attempt to locate the Moroccan Military HQ and rendezvous with them. Kilo, led by Hauptmann Kozlowski is to merely seek out and observe any interesting enemy movements, and relay them to either von Luck or Ulhaan. Is all this understood?”

“Yes sir!” Was the chorused reply.

“Very good. For everyone not moving in with the first three groups, remain ready to move out. You will each rotate into the area periodically, when it is necessary. More teams may even be needed in the field, so stay ready and alert! Good luck gentlemen, and good hunting.”


Operation Gothic Serpent had begun.

RNS Intrepid, Northern Atlantic Ocean, 1,600 kilometres West of Moroccan coast

Rear Admiral King stood on the flight deck of the carrier as a pair of F-1D Nyx fighters shot off the bow catapult as they moved to take up their position for air combat patrols. The rest of the carrier group sailed in a loose formation around the carrier as they moved through the water, making full steam after receiving their orders to join their allied forces from the nation of Wanderjar. As he tossed his cigar overboard into the water, he was approached by the ship's executive officer with the message sent by Asgarnieu and the admiral read over the printout, "Forward this to General Wilhelm Schwartz at Wanderjarian Afrika Kommand, I'd like to hear his input on this."

"Aye, sir," Replied the commander as he turned back towards the superstructure. Admiral King looked out over the water as he himself turned back and started walking.

0200 hours
Morocco


And in the darkness they came.


Black waves smashed upon the cold desert sand, and a bone white moon hung still in the sky, illuminating the vast dunes and creating a romantic picture-esque scene which under any other circumstances would have been welcome.

Today it was completely unfitting.

A black Zodiac insertion boat silently sped through the water, carrying the twelve Wanderjarian Marine Grenzschutztruppe-9 soldiers of AFRIKA KOMMAND into unknown territory. As their boat beached itself upon the shore, Hauptmann von Luck waved his arm forward, signalling his men to grab the boat and bring it ashore to hide. As the boat was deflated and hid within the dunes, the A-Team commander used his Comm-Set to inform his Kommandant that they were ashore.

"Good work Hauptmann," Schwarts said. "All other team are ashore too. All units proceed to objectives. Out."

Nodding to himself, von Luck spoke over the team communications network, "Alright men, lets do this. Sergeant Pilla, take point. All else, form a staggered column formation and lets move out!" As they began moving, they flipped their safties off, and proceeded to advance into the desert. On Hauptmann Luck's HUD (Heads up Display), a series of color coded waypoints set by his commander showed the exact route he would need to move in order to find his first objective. This was a specific road which was soon to be frequented by Hatarian Forces advancing through Morocco. Once they arrived there, Hatarian forces seen advancing South here would be engaged and eliminated. It was only a matter of time before the first blood was drawn.



Meanwhile, Hauptmann Kozlowski of Wanderjarian East Prussia, moved with his six man Kilo Team, deeper into the desert. They were not as heavily armed as the other Grenzschutztruppe teams, keeping themselves light and mobile for their only true purpose: collecting Intel on enemy movements. The same road that Hauptmann von Luck would be assaulting, Kozlowski would watch and inform him when enemy units were advancing, giving ample time for a well prepared and thought out ambush of the enemy, as was the Wanderjarian GSG-9's purpose here.

The sand clung to his boots, and he groaned inwardly at the thought of morning, with the unbearable heat which he knew would come. The night was cool and he almost shivered from the stiff breeze which came from the sea.

Standing back and watching as his men moved forward, he spoke, "Hurry up men, we need to get to Waypoint Alpha most Ricky-Tick."

"Jawhol, Herr Hauptmann!" came the reply from each team member. While on operations, these Elite Warriors were disciplined, focused, deadly. They knew only buisness and no games. They stepped up the pace to almost a run. They would arrive within the hour.



Schwartz was pleased with the begginning advancements, and hoped they would continue. He prayed silently that nothing would go wrong on his first command with AFRIKA KOMMAND.

When he saw the forwarded message by the Aequatian Admiral, his only reply was:

RE:


This is good. The more supporting forces we have, the better resistance we can make against this enemy. He may be poorly trained and led, but they have numbers. Thank you for sending us this.

~GeneralOberst Wilhelm Schwartz

RNS Intrepid, Northern Atlantic Ocean, 1,500 kilometres West of Moroccan coast

The Combat Information Center within the bowels of Intrepid were bathed in a red glow from the bulbs on the walls as Admiral King stood over the officer at the communications console as they received the reply from the Wanderjarians, "All right, tell the Asgarnians(sp?) that they're onboard for these operations."

The officer nodded as he began to transmit the message as King turned to the Intrepid's commanding officer, Captain Catherine Burns, "Captain, have the Handler and his blue-shirts prepare the aircraft for strike missions as soon as we're in range to launch them."

"Aye, sir," She replied as the orders were passed on through the chain.

4,000 Hatarians Killed, but The enemy would soon wish they hadn't meet the hatarians. The 12th Army was taken by Surprise by The Xharnian Grand National Army, But The enemy was getting a Big Surpirse....

2,000,000 Algerian Colonial Gaurdsmen along with 12,000 Soldiers of the Hatarian 151st Legion, 120,000 Trucks, 1,208 TR-1 Armored tank Walkers. 1,200 CT-28 Desert Combat Tanks, 300 T-80 Main Battle Tanks, 1,000 9P148ATGM Launcher Vehicles, 1,900 BMP-1 Infantry Fighting Vehicles, 590 M40 155mm Self-Propelled Guns (http://www.inetres.com/gp/military/cv/arty/M40.html), 500 KA-52 Attack Helicopters and 1,200 ZSU-57-2 57mm Self-Propelled Anti-aircraft Guns were soon heading across The Boarder while 2,000 RAGI-80 Sky Conquerors were in the Air going to engage the enemy Air Force.

7 B-1 Bombers, each escourted by 10 RAGI-17 Intercepters, were heading for The Xharnian fortifications along the Borader.

The Hatarians were Armed with XM8 5.56mm Carbine guns, M1918 .30 Caliber Browning Automatic Rifles, M60 7.62mm General Purpose Machine Guns, M79 40mm Grenade Launchers, M3 .45 Caliber Submachine Guns, M1911A1 .45 Caliber Automatic Pistols, Katanas, M224 60mm Light Mortar Launchers, Javelin Medium Anti-armor Weapon Systems, M202A1 Flame Assault Shoulder Weapon (Flash) and M20 3.5 Inch Rocket Launchers.

This war was The first test of the New Hatarian Army.

On board the lead ship of the small fleet of Asgarnian ships, the A.N.S. Stockton Pass, the Fleet Admiral was dispatched to the communications room.

"Sir, we have a green light go-ahead to join with the allied fleet." an Intelligence officer reported, while saluting.

"Good. Call up a few fleet escort aircraft and EA-18G's to assist with our operations. I want a few amphibious assault aircraft loaded with SH-60 LAMPS and F-35's. We're doing this one by the book." the Fleet Admiral stated.

"Yes, sir. The call is being placed as we speak." the Intelligence officer stated.

"Ready all long-range aircraft and long-range missile systems within the fleet. Since we pledged full support to Xharn after Hataria's declaration of war upon them, we need to be ready for any retaliations from Hataria." the Fleet Admiral ordered. "Bring the battleships up to the front of the fleet and target key locations. When the allied air fleet launches, we will provide support. Load the guns with the GPS guided shells. No mistakes. When the air fleet launches, send in a few squadrons of F-35's and a few F/B-150C's. I want their strategic air defenses targeted with Tomahawk-XL missiles. One more thing, call in one of our shiny new dreadnaughts with the 18-inch guns. I want it here soon, to deliver guided shells and missiles."

"Yes, sir..."

Incoming Major Transmission to Hataria:

Satellite intel has detected a large buildup of troops in the capital of Morocco. We advise a heavy air strike of the capital in order to create confusion in their Navy.

Hauptmann von Luck kneeled atop a golden sand dune, the blood red sun rising over the horizon. Only a few hours ago, he and his unit had landed upon this God-Forsaken piece of land, in order to prevent the Hatarians from having it.

Looking through field binoculars, he watched as Hatarian convoy's rolled onwards through Morocco and towards the Algerian border, where they would engage the forces of Xharn.

Of course, that is, if they survived.

Smirking, he looked over his shoulder and towards his Team-Mates, keeping low behind the hill of sand.

"Hey Paul, bring that laser designatior up."

"Yes mein herr," He replied, picking up self up off the ground and placing his black FFW helmet back on his head. Once he activated it's systems, it instantly turned tan, matching the surrounding desert exactly as it was designed to do, and he grabbed the large tubular laser designator off the ground as well. Once he reached the top of the hill, he asked, "Sir, what do you need me to target?"

"In the center of that long line of trucks. Make sure you keep it there."

"Aye, Aye, Mein Herr."

Then, Hauptmann von Luck activated his Comm systems, and spoke to GeneralOberst Scwartz.

"Sir, we have a Hatarian convoy targeted. Tell our allies that they can bomb away. The LD (Laser Designator) is on them, and will guide them in."

"Good work Hauptmann. I will relay."

"Thank you mein Herr, OUT."

"OUT."

With that, Schwartz then issued an announcement to all Allied Forces:


TO Aequatian/Asgarnian Forces:


We have a Hatarian Convoy targeted with a laser designator. Send fighter bombers to engage.


~GeneralOberst Schwartz, AFRIKA KOMMAND

The gunfire could be heard all across the trenches and fortifications. Private Mark Nelson of the 3rd Xharnian Army was holding his heavy machine gun position firing upon the approaching Hatarian infantry. The sight and sounds of explosions and gun shots could be heard as the desert was alight with exchanging fire..


Nelson saw his enemies coming and kept firing until a well placed enemy bullet struck him in the head killing him. Nelson’s comrades returned fire upon the offending enemy soldiers and watched as their fire power struck the enemy.

This kind of fighting was commonplace amongst the trench personal. The killing fields of the desert were stained with the blood and metallic bits of man and machine from both sides on the ground.


The Sergeant of the Platoon Victor Kormav received the orders from his superiors from the Field Marshal Command Bunker via the radio. The Central Military Command had declared this to be a war of extermination. The Xharnian soldiers were to show the enemy no quarter and ask for none in return. The Sergeant sighed and told the troops and motivated them with a speech via the loudspeakers placed around the fortifications:


“Men of Xharn,

The Fatherland has given you a most divine edict. You are to stop the Imperialist power of Hataria by any means necessary! The Central Military Command and the Patron Joseph Stormberg has declared that you are all heroes of the Union and the Fatherland. If you die your children and your families shall receive the emblem of the Grand National Unity party for your courageous services!

Hail Stormberg!”


The deafening roar of Hataria’s 155mm self propelled guns as they began to strike the Xharnian fortifications. These massive pieces hit the walls of the outer fortifications shattering both stone and wood surprising the defenders on the wall…





The Death Korps squads behind enemy lines began to use their sniper rifles and missile launchers target enemy personal and enemy vehicles.


The Xharnian National Air Command was battling over the field of the border. These fighters and bomber groups ran into their Hatarian counterparts and aerial combat ensued as the fighters attempted to get their bombers into strike range on Hatarian positions.


The bombers were equipped with carpet bombing capabilities and they dropped their payloads on the Hatarian lines that were trying to break into the fortified areas. These bombs were meant to shatter the enemy postions.

The next wing however was equipped with napalm bombs to give the enemy more personal causalities. The goal was to bloody the Hatarians and get them to fall back from sheer fire power…


The Xharnian Whirlwind missile tanks began to target the incoming Hatarian fighters and bombers. They unleashed their supply of anti-air rockets and missiles trying to hit the sheer wave of enemy fighters.


The Sentinel Walkers unleashed their massive 88mm mini guns upon the Hatarian infantry. These walking terrors would lay down massive suppressive fire for the troops in the trenches….

On board the lead ship of the small fleet of Asgarnian ships, the A.N.S. Stockton Pass, the Fleet Admiral was dispatched to the communications room.

"Sir, we have a green light go-ahead to join with the allied fleet." an Intelligence officer reported, while saluting.

"Yes, sir..."


As The enemy Fleet was heading for Morocco, They didn't now of what was under them.

300 Submarines were waiting for any enemy Ships and now that the enemy fleet was right over them, The Commander of the Sub fleet soon sent The order viva text messenge

Attack

The Subs soon started riseing to Fire their Torpedoes, the deadly GUTI-23PY Seeker Torpedos. one Sub soon targeted one of The Battleships and fired Four Torpedoes.

Two others targeted one of The carriers and fired four Torpedoes each.

The Hatarians were ready.

The A.N.S. Janet Ward, the 1st of two carriers with the fleet relayed the coordinates of the laser to the battleships.

"Should we launch?" the Launch Master inquired.

"Yes, but launch the YF-35U's*. We don't want to risk anyone dying, yet." ordered the Admiral of the ship.

"Aye."

On the deck, 12 YF-35U's took off, heading toward their destination.

They drew nearer...

On the lead battleship, the coordinates of the laser were recieved. All 9 massive 18 Inch guns aimed at the target and each fired a GPS-guided shell. Two Tomahawk-XL** missiles fired at the laser as well.


*The YF-35U is a prototype of the stealth F-35 Joint Strike Fighter that is unmanned and is equipped with Digital Optical Camouflage (DOC). The DOC uses a series of extremely small cameras to display live feeds of its surroundings onto a skin on the entire surface of the aircraft that prevents the aircraft from being seen by normal human eyes, and night-vision equipment.

**The Tomahawk-XL is a larger version of the Tomahawk missile.

~GeneralOberst Schwartz, AFRIKA KOMMAND


One Hatarian TR-1 Tank Walker was at that time, along with 2 CT-28 Desert Combat tanks. were Scouting for enemy Gurillia Fighters and heading for a dune (OOC: The Dune your guys are on, but they don't know it).

Over The Convoy, RAGI-17s were protecting it from Ground or Air attack. any enemy would have to go though them first before attacking The convoy. also in The air were 30 AWACs, ready for in case enemy Planes or Missiles were appear.

As the torpedos hit, the ships listed. Each vessel equipped fired their nuclear depth charges. 144 12-Kiloton depth charges sank towards the subs. The ships that launched them knew that they would be damaged by the explosions, but their mission turned from attack to defending the rest of the allied fleet. The depth charges exploded. Massive shockwaves tore through the sea.

The sea went silent. Suddenly, massive columns of water rose up from the surface. Many Asgarnian ships were caught in the stream. They flew up, rising into the air. For the ships not hit by the torpedos and not affected by the depth charges, they quickly understood that nothing beneath them was alive. The subs were confirmed sunk moments later by sonar graphs taken by a surviving ship.

All in all, 1 carrier had been sunk and the 2nd of the battleships was destroyed. A SOS message had been sent to the Central Command Center. It was time for retaliation...

One Hatarian TR-1 Tank Walker was at that time, along with 2 CT-28 Desert Combat tanks. were Scouting for enemy Gurillia Fighters and heading for a dune (OOC: The Dune your guys are on, but they don't know it).

Over The Convoy, RAGI-17s were protecting it from Ground or Air attack. any enemy would have to go though them first before attacking The convoy. also in The air were 30 AWACs, ready for in case enemy Planes or Missiles were appear.

OOC: With even without IWS, they could easily see and even hear something the size of a tank mate.

OOC:

Hataria,

I have Special Forces (Death Korps Legionaries) performing hit and run operations on your forces behind your supply lines. These guys have been trained for fighting in the desert and they are supported by several underground tunnels hidden with camouflage of sand....

The YF-35U's slipped by the Hatarian AWACS and were unseen by the Air Defense Units.

They dropped their deadly payloads. The M-119 Sensor-Fused Weapons detonated above the Hatarian vehicles. Each bomb released 20 guided submunitions. Each one targeted a vehicle.

An Asgarnian Spy Satellite watched..

IC:


At the same instant that the explosions sounded, the Wanderjarian GSG-9 operators fled the area, dissapearing into the desert and the sea of dunes while the Hatarian Convoy would surely be lost in the confusion and chaos of the bombardments.

The Kilo Team, watching this as well, stalked off as well, seeking out new targets which could be eliminated as well.

12,000 Hatarian Troops Killed,

120 Subs sunk

120 Planes downed

Tanger, Northern Morocco.

all was peaceful that night when The sound of planes going over as heard. People came out of their homes to see Planes and gilders going over with Parachutes dropping down and gilders landing.

People ran as the Hatarian 20th airborne was soon takeing The town, from the sea, The 41st Imperial Desert Force landed from Ships off the coast.

By Midnight, Tanger was under Hatarian control and now had 890,000 Hatarian Imperial Marines and 12,000 Airborne Troops in The city.

A second batch of YF-35U's were deployed. This time, they were sent to take out the AWACS aircraft. Each YF-35U took an AWACS. When each was within 5 miles of the AWACS's, they let out their AAM-37's. As they streaked toward their targets, they left an eerie white smoke trail. All was silent. Within moments, the missiles detonated.

Minutes later, 50 CB-130 Hercules modified bombers dropped MOAB bombs on strategic targets.

The CB-130's turned around for refueling and rearming...

Field Marshal Johnny Walken received the word that the Hatarians had hit Tanger. The reports were that they had taken the city and had a force of nearly a million men in the city. The Field Marshal looked at his map of Morroco and cursed the situation. He should have thought to send some of his forces from Rabat to occupy Tanger.

Field Marshal Walken debated using his authority to launch several short range missiles equipped with VX gas against the invading forces at Tanger. Field Marshal Walken decided to use a different approach. He employed several Muslim clerics to issue a call for Jihad. These devout Muslims would call their brothers and sisters and help the Xharnians push out the infidels.


The Xharnian military started handing out surplus military equipment and giving them to the locals. It would be interesting to see the Hatarians advance while the local populace is armed with Xharnian issued weaponary…

Two Ohio-class submarines locked on to the City of Tanger. They fired 16 SLBM-1557's with high-explosive warheads. They were headed for select troop concentrations.

Meanwhile, at a secret location in the middle of the ocean, Globe ICBM's were readied in case of further retaliation by Hataria...

Tanger, Morocco.

The Hatarians were soon in full Control of The city and now Tanks were being sent in for Phase II.

The Hatarians were soon starting landings at Al Hoceima, takeing that city after a fight in which 2,000 Hatarians were killed.

Troops from Melilla soon marched into Nador and took it without a fight, while The Army in Ceuta was soon being renforced.

The Hatarians were soon takeing Control of The Northern Coast and were ready for Phase Two.

Two Ohio-class submarines locked on to the City of Tanger. They fired 16 SLBM-1557's with high-explosive warheads. They were headed for select troop concentrations.

Hatarian Anti-Missile Defenses from Spain soon launched as two HIAI-2869 Missile Killers were soon launched at the enemy Missiles

From Spain, 4,500 F/A-18 Hornets were soon heading to attack the enemy Fleet. These were Armed with SNIA-2000 Anti-Ship Missiles.

"Damn, I have to hand it to the Hatarians." said the Vice-President.

"Yes, they are doing quite well. How are our forces doing?" the President asked.

"Decent. We were attacked by about 300 submarines, but dropped nuclear depth charges." the Vice-President responded.

"Good. How are our Globe ICBM's?" inquired the President.

"They are ready now," the Vice-President stated. "We can launch at any time."

Subject: War

Greetings. It is the general opinion of the Asgarnians that the Hatarian people are not stupid. Nor are they cannon fodder. We do not wish to use the power of the Globe ICBM, but if nessicary, we will. This is not a threat, mind you. We are making a simple suggestion: stop all hostile actions toward Asgarnieu, and we will stop ours. This is a mutual agreement, that if agreed upon will save many lives in Hataria and many lives in Asgarnieu. We do not want to destroy your senic nation, but we harness the power to do so. Please, think of your citizens. Thank you.

Hatarian Anti-Missile Defenses from Spain soon launched as two HIAI-2869 Missile Killers were soon launched at the enemy Missiles

From Spain, 4,500 F/A-18 Hornets were soon heading to attack the enemy Fleet. These were Armed with SNIA-2000 Anti-Ship Missiles.

The HIAI-2869's slammed into the SLBM-1557's with extreme precision. However, several SLBM-1557's made it past the impressive barrage of defenses. They remained on target for key troop concentrations.

The F/A-18's were detected. This was one large group. The submarines and air-defense destroyers readied their weapons for the impending attack. The Starstreak SAM's were activated and readied...

Rabat…


Field Marshal Walken realized his forces were going to be trapped if they did not pull out of the border and begin fortifying the city of Rabat and southern Morocco. He sent immediate orders to all field commanders to begin a fighting withdrawal toward the Rabat and southern Morocco. Field Marshal Walken realized that the fight was lost if Axis Nova brought in its forces into the fray.

The Field Marshal decided to abandon Morroco and allow the natives to defend themselves. This fight had already resulted in the death of about 50,000 Xharnian soldiers. The last thing Xharn needed was more dead soldiers to compensate for the bloody fighting at the desert. The Fatherland was also considered to be in danger and that meant more hard fighting for the Xharnian war machine.




The border…..


The Xharnian forces began to fall back from their trenches once they received the orders to fall back. They set up several explosive traps in the fortifications and trenches. It would be interesting for the Hatarians to get pass the land mines and the other traps. The Xharnian forces all 450,000 of them continued to withdraw while the Predator Heavy Battle tanks provided support fire against enemy vehicles.


The Dragoon APCs were moving through the deserts carrying several squads of soldiers. The Death Korps Legionaries also began to fall back south using their network of tunnels to avoid Hatarian patrols. They would try and meet up with their comrades before the final evacuation of Morocco.

The Xharnian 1st National Fleet was preparing to evacuate Xharnian personal from Morocco. The Xharnian warships began launching defensive operations targeting enemy vessels only to provide support fire for allied vessels and to provide cover fire for the military transport vessels. The Xharnian forces were pulling out……

The HIAI-2869's slammed into the SLBM-1557's with extreme precision. However, several SLBM-1557's made it past the impressive barrage of defenses. They remained on target for key troop concentrations.

The F/A-18's were detected. This was one large group. The submarines and air-defense destroyers readied their weapons for the impending attack. The Starstreak SAM's were activated and readied...

The enemy missiles were not going to make it. The Warheads on the HIAI's were EMP Warheads and when they hit, they had set off The EMP.

The F/A-18s soon found their Targets, the Air-defense destroyers. The Planes launched their Missiles at The enemy ships from 200 miles (They are Long Range Missiles.) and The Planes soon headed back to Spain.

Cadiz, Hatarian Spain.

The 7th Imperial Atlantic Fleet was soon starting off to engage The enemy Fleet off the coast of Morocco and Destroy it.

7th Imperial Atlantic Fleet (Grand Atlantis Fleet)

7 Imperium Class Supercarriers (With 98 AV-8B HARRIER IIs and 78 RAGI-20 Sea Snakes on each Ship)
20 Duck Hunter Class Anti-Air Craft Frigates
30 Empire Class Destroyers
20 Dead Moon Class Battlecurisers
28 Black Moon[i] Class Missile Curisers
40 [i]Republic Class Destroyers
20 Ayanami Class Destroyers
29 Fishermen Class Sub Hunters (a type of Destroyer)
50 Market Class Fleet Tenders
40 Tangalee Class Attack Subs
4 Angel Class Hosptial Ships
4 Oni Class Helicopter Carriers (with 90 Sea hawk Anti-Submarine Helicopters on each.)

This Fleet soon sailed out to engage the enemy.

The two Wanderjarian A-Teams had moved towards Tanger, finding the sheer masses of enemy troops discouraging, but they were not intimidated.

They'd all been through worse.


It was mutally decided amongst the two groups to lay low that afternoon, and let the third team, the Kilo Team, relay information on enemy movements back to the HQ for processing, while they took cover and waited for the cover of darkness. The GSG-9 owned the night.


Each man took out his rations and began to eat, some caught sleep since they did not know when the next availible time would be for rest. Hauptmann von Luck sat behind a dune, merely thinking. The real-time map of Tenger was being broadcast through his helmet's HUD, and he studied possible entry routes, and how the enemy might react if he made certain maneuvres.

Thinking to himself, he mentall said, "This evening, we'll enter the city, and cause as much mayhem as possible." And with that, he handed command over to Stabfeldwebel Alexsi, and went to sleep himself.

OOC:

Wanderjar feel free to recruit some Muslim resistance fighters. I have been giving the country modern Xharnian weapons to fight a decent guerrilla war against the Hatarians...

I wanna give the Hatarians a little hell, hehehe :D

OOC: You do know that I do not have the only vessels in the area, right?

The missiles were wasted.

The MLS-5's fired air burst missiles with high explosive fragmentation warheads at the approaching sea of F/A-18's. Hopefully the would detonate at the altitude the aircraft were at.

The ships braced for impact while the 35mm MK.16 CIWS units were turned on.

The first wave of missiles arrived and the CIWS units on every ship started firing at the barrage...

END MESSAGE

the Hatarians were Demineing The Borader and were soon makeing a way into Morocco, While Hatarian KA-52s were Chaseing The Retreating Xharnian Forces and letting it lose with Machine Gun Fire and Anti-Tank Missiles against The Predator Heavy Battle tanks.

The Hatarians were soon getting a Commander that was good at War, Grand General Asuka Langay Soryu was soon in Algeris to Lead the Campaign and had ordered her Troops to not Kill Xharnian Troops, Besides, what Good were Dead People in The Copper Mines of Algeria or The Cane Fields of Cuba?

OOC: Oh, that's cold, Hataria...

2 Teams of 16 Asgarnian Special Forces troops washed ashore. They were armed with AR-44A2's with silencers and a slew of other goodies. Their mission was to sabotage enemy assets in the area without being detected. They would make camp on a neaby mountain that night, and begin reconniasance operations as soon as possible...

OOC: Hataria, I'm gonna sign off. We'll pick this up tomorrow, yes? Later.

OOC: Hataria, My men are not retreating, They are making a fighting withdrawal. It means they are moving backwards and firing at your men at the same time…


IC:


The Hatarian attack helicopters were targeted by infantrymen armed with stinger launchers. These weapons would target the heat from the approaching helicopters and strike them down. The Xharnian mobile anti air guns started to fire and shoot wave after wave of armor piercing rounds at the incoming Hatarian forces.

The main body of Xharnian infantry and war machinery were continuing to fire and not giving quarter to the Hatarians. They would eventually halt within forty miles of the city of Rabat. It would be here were the 2nd Xharnian National Army would connect with their war weary comrades.

The Xharnian naval forces began to fire cruise missiles at land targets near the border. This would provide disrupting fire on the enemy on the Hatarian forces making their advance slower. The land mines and strategic traps were also being triggered by the reckless enemy advance….

(OOC: Hataria, would you mind if I..."turned out the lights"?)

Night finally fell, and none too soon. With the cloak of darkness covering them, the two A-Teams slowly approached Tanger, carefully avoiding the enemy patrols, and making use of their active camoflague* abilities which could make them near invisible in the dark.

Darkness is the GSG-9s best friend.

As they approached the city they took care to avoid roads, and rather enter through side streets and other places where the Hatarian Troops would not be found. However, if Hatarians managed to find themselves in the wrong place, they would be killed without mercy. Each Wanderjarian was armed with an XM8 Carbine with an attached noise suppressor, aside from their team machine gunner, whose M-249 SAW (Squad Automatic Weapon), was also outfitted with a noise suppressor, so noise would not be an issue with these Ninja's of the night.

A black alley-way made itself known, and the Wanderjarian A-Team moved into it, their NVGs showing it to be clear. From there, they would seek out resistance fighters, and hopefully make something explode that evening.




(*Take note that this does not literally make them invisible, such as the "Active Camoflague in the game Halo. Rather, the suit has a chameleon effect, which allows it to blend into its surroundings, making it especially difficult to see, especially at night)

Hauptmann Kozlowski, of the GSG-9 Kilo Team, watched as von Luck's unit moved into the city through his field binoculars.

"Luck, there is a lot of enemy infantry in that area. I suggest moving only through ally ways if at all possible. Use the IR Scanners in your HUD to check for resistance fighters within the buildings, and link up with them. That would be the best course of action."

"Thanks Kozlowski," von Luck said moving down another alley-way. "I'll do that."

The ASF soldiers had been conducting reconniassance on the Hatarian troops. Their first job would be to designate special areas for the YF-35U's.

One soldier designated what appeared to be a command station. He found it unusual that there was several tall radio antennas protuding through the roof.

The soldier locked the range and gave the go-ahead. Within minutes the YF-35U was launched. Soon, if all went right, the YF-35U's powerful BLU-64 Guided Penetration Bomb would explode within the building...

OOC: Excuse me, Xharn, is this is the thread I'm going to be posting in for the soldiers I'm sending to help you?
Thank you.

If Asgarnieu was Smart, it would have made a Plane that won't let of heat. Two RAGI's with Infred were out on Patrol when They found the enemy Plane.

"looks like They are getting gutsy." Said one Pliot as They soon started after the Plane and getting a Lock on it. "Hope you have Airbags!" and They fired one RANI-782 Heat Seeking Missiles at the enemy Plane.

The enemy missile launch caught the attention of the Wanderjarians. The smoke trail, and the missile itself, left a trail of light emerging from where the laucher was. It was then that Hauptmann von Luck knew what he had to do.

"Unteroffizier Leeb," He said. "Take out that AA Gun. If we're to hurt these guys, we're going to need air cover."

"Jawhol mein herr!" He said, and we off to engage the threat. Meanwhile, the Hauptmann ordered the rest of the team into an abandoned building, and decided to law low until Leeb killed the AA Gunner.


Leeb crawled through the sand, following the pinpointed position on his HUD to locate the enemy soldier's position. When he found the launcher, he brought his M-24 suppressed bolt action rifle to his arm, and squinted through the scope. As he zeroed in on the target's head, and squeezed the trigger, he looked forward to seeing the pink mist from the explosion of the Hatarian soldier's head. The sound was an inaudiable ping!, which would not be heard by anyone, and the bullet was on its way....

The pilot flying the YF-35U was a fat, zit-faced kid sitting over 1,000 miles away. He thought of war as a video game. If you lose, you can restart.

He ordered the launch of 3 YF-35U/Z "ZULU" Special Operations versions. Not only did they have Digital Optical Camouflage, they had heat-supressed engine cowlings; as well as stealth technology.

They had air-to-ground payloads. This time, they would fly below radar level, to intensify the radar-evading effects of the aircraft. Their target: enemy troops. The Hatarian soldiers stood no chance against a Fuel-Air Explosive weapon. No amount of armor could save them if they were in the open.

If the Hatarians were smart, they would give up now...

The Tango-class Submarine Decent Pay moved toward the coastline, the periscope was up and the commander watching. A green flash, then three more followed by two red flashes. It was the right place, the watched as it flashed red 10 more times to allow him to line it up. He told them to load the torpedoes and get ready to fire.

The submarine made a funny noise when it fired, a sort of 'bloop' that shook the ship. With 6 tubes and plenty of cargo it could take a while. The job wasn't a corporate sabotage job, but a simple dropoff. Each of the 533mm torpedoes were specially modified cargo carriers that would surface, and skim along at a slow 10 knots before beaching themselves.

Meanwhile a junker of a cargo ship carrying the remainder of the merchandise was sailing toward a beach nary 30 meters away. The crew had abandoned ship and was sitting in a rowboat waiting for the Tango to finish its delivery. The cargo ship would beach and give the bombarded Moroccans much needed weaponry.

It should be a simple job with little interference.

OOC: I'm supplying the insurgency, or an army or someone who has arranged this order.

RPG-2 Rocket Launcher (USSR): $450 US X 1000=$450,000

"How dare you make that accusation Mr. Pencil!"

IC:

The Operation was nearly complete, just 2 more torpedoes and the delivery would be over and they could go home. Sunup would be in just a few more hours then the intelligence satellites would reveal piles and piles of leftover boxes, an empty beached cargo ship and enough plastic wrapping to cover all of Morocco in "GASN Made, GASN Forever"

OOC: Well, normally that sort of thing might make me reconsider using your storefront in the future, once I found out about it. But, as it turns out, I don't care if the world knows I'm supporting the Moroccans, I'm perfectly justified here.

IC: SOTG Defender was the pride of the Aesonic fleet. A Hood class superdreadnought. Gleaming in the sunlight, it filled all those who saw it with pride at the military might of New Aeson. It was headed for Morocco, and the sea battle now commencing.

The two battleships flanking it were smaller, but quite impressive in their own right. SOTGs Guardian and Watchmen had accompanied the Hood to its destination, and would stay for the fight.

Likewise the two carriers, even now going through the last minute flight checks. SOTGs Valkryie's Nest and Iron Fist made up the last of the really remarkable ships in the Aesonic battle group.

They were surrounded and protected by a large number of AA destroyers, cruisers, and submarine destroyers. New Aeson had come to play.

The Hatarians soon Planned a Final Attack against The Xharnians at Rabat. Operation: Rabat Sige was planned by Grand General Asuka her self. The Plan was to suround Rabat from land and Sea and Air and Bombard The City till it was in ruins, and that every place a Sinper would hide was gone.

Then Imperial Marines would land while The Army would Charge into The city, guns blazeing and The Imperial Flag waveing all The while The Hatarians would push The Xharnians into The Center of Rabat for The final Kill, or till The enemy Surendered.

all ready with The Imperial Navy about to engage the enemy on the seas and The Hatarian 12th Army moveing on after Clearing all Mines and Traps from the Borader, The Hatarians were starting on The Final Conquest of Morocco

As the waves of aircraft took off, they appeared on radar.

The current aircraft carrier was joined by the A.N.S. Quayle. The Quayle was a supercarrier, one of 15 in the Asgarnian fleet under the Mango class. It was over 4,000 feet long. The venerable Nimitz class was a mere patrol boat in comparison to the Quayle.

Its hold of YF-35U/Z's were launched. The aircraft was, for all intents and purposes, invisible to radar, infrared, night vision and the human eye. Several of them were loaded with low-skimming, high-powered Sitka AShM. It was a battle-proven missile, capable of destroying many different supercarriers with as little as 5 hits. It used jamming systems to fool CIWS systems by projecting hundreds of "missiles" on the CIWS's radar system. By the time the CIWS picks a target and fires, it is too late.

If each allied nation wishes, we are willing to donate 20 YF-35U/Z's to each allied carrier.

The YF-35U/Z is a F-35 Joint Strike Fighter with Digital Optical Camouflage, rendering it invisible to nightvision and the human eye. It is also, by design, invisible to radar, due to its stealth design. In addition, it is unmanned. The icing on the cake is the Heat Dissipation System. It is similar to that of the F-117. There are special units on the engine cowlings that cool the exhaust to a nominal temperature. It does not guarantee invulnerability against heat-seeking missiles, but the ratio is currently 7:10 will be invulnerable from heat-seeking munitions.

If you only have amphibious assault ships, the aircraft are capable of vertical take-offs due to the lift fan system.

Thank you for considering our offer.

Yes, I moght actiually be replying IC:

The Central Hurtian Inteligence Agency (CHIA -go ahead and laugh...) grew concerned of the state of affairs in and around Morocco. A number of nuclear detonations had been detected, and the resaulting EMP pretty much cooked all Hurtian spy stalites in the area, which would now be inert space garbage, and a potential obstacle to any manuvering spy satallites still operating, hamping both their sensors and their movement.

Two missions had been started, one was to send in some good old fashioned 'combat advisors', the other was to replace the satallites as soon as possable.

The first satallite was in position later that day, the other 11 would come in the following week, in the meantime, a single Katana was ordered to make best possable spped for Morocco and drop off 8 advisors to scope out the sitution on land.

Finaly a telegram sent to Asgarnieu via cable asked the question on their minds:
How fares Morocco?

With The cease Fire, The hatarian Army soon started waiting and captureing Freedom Fighters and their Weapons.

The Hatarians soon set up base at Fez, and soon started building a Airfield so that the Hatarians could strike at Rabat, incase Talks failed.

All in All, The Hatarians soon started their Job of Turning Morocco into a Hatarian Territory, They crowned a shiek, Al-Mulla Saili, as King of Morocco under The Empress of Hataria.

The Hatarians soon started Giveing Jobs such as Building Roads and Diging Ditches to The Moroccans, even Building new Houses in The Hatarian Style for The Moroccans.

Hatarian Rule was good

Per previous agreements with Hataria, a team of Axis Novan surveyors are immediately flown in from Western Hataria, and they begin sizing up the state of the Moroccan infrastructure, and drawing up plans to both modernize it and put in proper facilities to support assorted equipment.

The computer system isolated the virus, and removed it, storing it on a CD to be used and decoded later.

The YF-35U/Z's suddenly turned around. They all landed aboard the carriers they took off from.

In attacking the Hatarians, they would be breaching the peacetalk agreements. The fleet soon broke off, heading for the home port.

the Hatarian Army soon was on The Move, The 14th Armored Division had soon moved into The City of Kenitra and raised The Flag high.

The Hatarians were sercureing The area since they had Control of Most of The Nation now. But also they were Puting The Pressure on Rabat by starting to suround it for just in case The talks fail.

Bump

The Xharnian forces in Rabat had already finished building a solid line of defense around Rabat. The Xharnian military waited for reinforcements to arrive by sea to help increase the garrison numbers of Xharnian troops. It was hoped the sight of Xharnian elite troops entering the city would give the Hatarian a moment to pause before they tried to make any preemptive strikes.


The city itself was being turned into a virtual fortress and the Xharnian flag was raised over the government buildings of the capital. It was clear that the Xharnian military had no intention of leaving any time soon. The Xharnian garrison started to hand out weapons to the local teenagers and young men that wanted to fight. This greatly boosted Xharnian numbers and helped provide a new weapon, Insurgents to strike at the Hatarian occupied territory in hit and run fashion.


Field Marshal Johnny Walken was still in his bunker readying his forces positions and preparing to launch an attack towards Hatarian positions to the north and south. It would be a massive pincer move pushing them out from the sides while Death Korps reinforcements would mop up the middle….



The Xharnian National Navy was already prepped to and ready to depart or to fight. The Xharnian military was debating about falling back or staying in the fight. It would just be a matter of time before anything was decided…..

The Hatarian Fleet was soon 230 Knots from Rabat and was ready for incase Talks Broke down, while Hatarian Subs and Planes watched for any Clandonian Ships near Morocco, which was now Part of The New Supercolony of Hatarian North Africa.

In Short, The Hatarians were planning to Blockade Rabat if The Talks failed.

and The Hatarians were waiting.

Morocco: some time later:
Major Mendez's Raiders managed to take the unoccupied beach without any major difficulty (due mostly to the compliance of certain allies), aside from the fact that it was a moonless night and the middle of winter, and the marines were nearly frozen by the time they hopped out the bomb bay of a converted FMA-6B, borrowed from a stock sent to nearby Asgarnieu -a small batch of support equipment to get their 'foot in the door'- with them was a fresh transfer, former Army Sgt Gorbechev, in the Marine Raiders, he was considered little better than a mere PFC, but he had a tendancy to survive such one way missions, such as the Parthian assault upon Pelsgord, anfd the subsequent succesful yet costly counter attack ultimately leading to the recapture of Ort and the destruction of the Parthian Armed forces in the Chitzi conflict. Not bad for a piece of fleshy cannon fodder...

The 12 man unit then broke into 2 main groups of 6, each 6 man group consisted of 4 CM-26 Automatic Weapons and a pair of HM-320 equiped CM-26 SAWs, each man was issued a new set of body armor (Type III), and an 'armor upgrade and survival kit' in the event things became desprate*, the usual allotment of hand grenades* (2 WP, 4 HE/w/frag sleaves, 2 Thermo/demolition, 2 HE-AT/Frag), their old ceramonial/GI combat shovels, bayonet, and an allotment of assorted grenades. (40 mm: 2 Triplex AP, 2 Triplex AT, 2 WP;-;60 mm:1 HEAT 2 frag;-;125 mm: 1 Thermobaric;-; and adaptors to fire hand grenades in case of an emergency) They also carried normal ammunition loads, but only half rations.

Underslung from the Mi-26 was a crate, which upon opening, it was discovered to contain 6 UL-2000 Minions, each equiped with an experimental PGL-40 with RPG-7 grenades in a pair of 5 shot tube clips, tandem seats, and a rack to mount and remotely fire a pair of CM-26 AWs with a 200 round belt each, in a box that would be located between the front passenger/gunner's seat was a reinforced ball and socket mount, and a 20# thermobaric demolition charge with 30 second time delay fuze.

Each 6 man squad was assinged 3 planes, the lead planes would have a radio, to keep in touch with the other squad, and report to the awaiting Katana class frigate, which in turn could relay the intel to NRI (CHIA), while the HM-320 would be mounted on the reinforced socket mount, providing additional fire support...

One squad would be sent to patrol friendly Asgarnieu controled lines (Gorby), while the other would be sent to probe as far as possable into Hatarian lines (Mendez).

The Asgarnian Special Forces detachment was as of yet undetected. They lay on their stomachs, ready to fire. They wore no identifying marks, and none spoke with any sort of accents. For all anyone knew, they were well-armed rebels. They ditched and destroyed their AR-44A2's for more conventional weaponry. A few had AW-50's and M82A1A's. The others had .308 M-4 Refits. They all had their FN Five-seveN pistols at the ready. They were to secretly meet up with the Hurtian forces. Their mission was to disrupt enemy communications and operations in the area. Within a few days, the Hatarians would be in serious trouble in Morocco...

In the Hatarian-controlled territories

And then, the aircraft came.

They were many – Allanean cargo aircraft, coming in as several air-bridges, directed towards Hatarian territory. Their mission – officially – was to evacuate any Clandonian civilians that still remained in Morocco. Unofficially speaking, they were too many for that.

And so, before loading the evacuees aboard the craft, they first had to unload – literally thousands of troops. Allanea had in her possession 2,000 BE-23 aircraft, and of those, 500 were deployed on this mission. They would not hopefully be attacked – for so far, Allanea maintained a position of careful and yet slightly biased neutrality.

They deployed a force of 4 Airborne Divisions, unfolding around the Hatarian positions. Those were, by name, the HFOR – Hataria Forcce – destined for peacekeeping duties around Hataria. They – interestingly enough – would not shoot at a single insurgent. Yet.

But the HFOR was not limited to 'mere' Airborne troops.

Deployed were the forces of Task Force Spearhead – a hundred units of five soldiers each. Spearhead operatives had their own mission – one which would become clear later. In the meanwhile, their task was to spread secretly through Morocco, living off the land and off their own rations, so far invisible – except to Allanean GPS units. Half were tasked to crossing the borders of Hatarian-controlled Morocco, tracking down insurgents – and yet not attacking them. Others assumed positions in Hatarian territory itself.

And yet, Allanea's forces remained on a peacekeeping capacity alone – so far.


OOC: The arrival of the HFOR has been cleared with Hataria. Also, a telegram for Asgarnieu.

With the evacuation of Clandonian civilians thanks to Allanea, unbeknown to even some in the Clandonian military, a Clandonian Special Air Service team had been deployed as the crisis began. Along with several CPISF officers they arrived on a civilian chartered Clandonian Imperial Airlines aircraft with ordinary holiday makers.

Their mission, to arm the Moroccan resistance and train them into a credible force that could do damage to the imperialistic Hatarian military. They wondered if the Asgarnieuns had any forces in as well...

Unfortunately for the Clandonians, their flight is refused clearance for anything but refueling and turning around and going back home. It seems the airports are, for the moment, under military control, and only specific flights are being allowed in and out-- and certainly not tourists.

OOC: I'm RPing this as if they were there before it got heated, sort of like the British Airways flight in Kuwait at the start of the Gulf War where we we managed to get the SAS and MI6 officials in.

From Fez, Morocco, 34 C-160 Planes were being sent over Rabat, and once they reached there, They Soon Dropped Leaflets on The City Ordering all Civilians to Leave Rabat incase The Talks were to fail.

and They were starting to look like they were failing.

The Dominion Navy’s Atlantic Alpha fleet, five hundred miles away from Morocco and the fighting, had their to aid their allies in Morocco when the talks failed as the Count guessed they would. Deal with the Hatarians and they will be stubborn through it all. The Count has been wanting to destroy that empire for years and had the right time to do, but he called off the invasion fleet. Nobody knows that reason, too.

The Count has given this order to other fleets in the Dominion Navy; the Atlantic Beta fleet, the Atlantic Gamma fleet, the Black Sea fleet, the Italian Dragoon fleet, and the Silver Fox fleet. Most of them are in the seas their name say, but the Black Sea fleet was near the boot of Italy.

These fleets weren’t the full effect that would happen, if the talks failed. They were the ones on orders to moved when the talks fail. Dominion Air Forces had their orders too. They fueled fighters and bombers in their hangers away from the watchful eye of enemy spy satellites.

Maybe the talks will not fail and the Atlantic Alpha fleet will not be need along with the other fleets of the Dominion. One by one, the seconds ticked away on the clock of time. Will the Moroccans be freed form the hands of the hordes of Hataria and Axis Nova through peace? Or will the Dominion have to get the job done and stomp the Hatarians into the ground in Morocco and then move on to kick them out of Europe and North Africa?

OOC: took awhile to get an 'estimate' on you location.
I'm also wondering if Hataria would let Royal Air Maroc (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Air_Maroc) to continue their services. Or did he bomb those too? And due to Hataria's failure to take Casablanca, could flights simply go directy to the hubs?
Or must tourists pass through both Hatarian and Coalition airports?

For some reason, things might end up with Hataria looking like the 20th century colonists in Morocco... (except now manpower/firepower is on par)

Squad Mendez: Anti-Atlas Mountain Range:
Mendez and his 3 planes went north, 4 miles west of 'road 7089', and parallel to it, keeping a large maintain between them and inland Radar stations, From there, they went north to Route N12/7084, roughly 3 miles from Qua-Belli/Tizqui, from there, they continued north, into the deeply pitted mountains and valleys to the north, even had they been spotted, modern aircraft and radatr would be nearly useless in such confined spaces, and any aircraft would have a hard tim to prevent themselves from colliding with the valley floor, except the UL-2000s, which only traveled at a liesurely 65-120 knots, and could travel as slow as 20 if need be... [Most combat aircraft stall at 90-120 knots]. Their journey for the day ended when they returned to route 7085, 25 miles due east of Tafraoute. They landed their planes along the now never used stretch of road, and stowed their equipment in some nearby woodlands, they then had a drink from their canteens, and refilled by the river that paralleled the road.

'Gordy' Squad: Tell-Atlas/'Rif' Mountains:
Gobechev was a little put off by being sent off to have his hand holded by the Asgarnieu Special Forces up in the Rif Mountains, but he had little choice. His entire job was to make a high profile flight out north, link up with their allies, and for Gordy to double back with radio on full power, and acting as if he were lost. Then to dissapear into the mountains by any means necessary. While doing this, he was to gather important intel for CHIA and their allies, word filtered down that troops from Hurtful Outcomes Incorporated would be deployed along the Moroccan coastal cities, essentailly taking them from Hatarian control and then handing them over to the allies, thus putting Hataria back on the negotiating table on grounds more favorable to the coalition.

OOC: I hope I posdted the location of Mendez squad well enough, I'd do the same for Grdy if I knew exactly where Asgarnieu's troops where. So far I just guessed...

The Asgarnian Special Forces team left the secure mountain. They avoided patrols, and traveled in the high desert. They were equipped with special reversable BDU's that were suited for day or night travel throught the arid region. However, they stowed their special camouflage, and carried their weapons on their backs. Each member of the team knew the local languages, and each member looked like an average Moroccan citizen with a gun.

They were attempting to meet up with the Hurtian forces, more specifically, the 'Gordy' squad. There, they would begin the good fight...

The Hatarian Army was soon started it's final Campaign in The War, with a Sige against Rabat it self. The Imperial Navy had soon started to form it's Blockade of Rabat Port as the Hatarian Desert Army started heading for Rabat to Suround it.

Hataria would be ready for this Final Part of The Conquest of Morocco, The Peace Talks had failed, but Hataria's Millitary Might won't

IC:

There were few options left. Leave the war and assist the allies with money and equipment, or destroy Hataria. No option was worthy of use. The Asgarnians would wait until they were ready.

The engineering corps deployed to Morocco by Axis Nova continues it's work, CMGVs zipping around the southern part of Morocco (and the northwestern part of the Sahara), measuring things, planting beacons, and taking readings.

Interestingly enough, in a location about 400 kilometers from the Atlantic, it seems some excavations are beginning in the desert...

OOC: How the freaking hell can a Hood get into the black sea?

IC:

In the meanwhile, the Team Spearhead units begin their operations against the anti-Hatarian rebels. Their actions are sometimes simple – a group of five people hiding in a seemingly defenseless group of truckks posing as a Hatarian convoy and slaughtering the attacking rebels as if they were a herd of sheep – and sometimes complex, like 'abandoning' a Hatarian weapons crate near a known rebel stronghold, full of high explosives and wired for pressure, movement, and opening.

And then there are the tactics of fear. Sometimes, a group of rebels lying in wait for Hatarian vehicles find out the hard way that helicopters can attack ground targets from beyond line of sight – leaving them to wonder where exactly the missiles are coming from as they die horrible deaths. Sometimes, in a village supporting the rebels, the village elders are found with their throats cut, oversized Allanean bayonet-knives sticking from their throats.

And the pattern repeats: When the Allaneans get hold of a rebel's body, they wrap it in pig's entrails or skin and bury it. The knives they leave in their victims are covered in pigs' lard or blood – all the better to deny the enemies of Empress Nadia not just life in this world, but paradise in the next.

As for the air bridge, the HFOR was boosted further – by two more mechanized infantry brigades.

OOC: Posting once more, with additional detail.
That is, except the addition about the weapons I'm shipping to Hataria, this is a more detailed version of the post above.

Hope nobody minds.

IC:

Hatarian-Controlled Morocco

Allanean aircraft crossed into the airspace of Hatarian Morocco at dawn. At first, it may have appeared incomprehensible as to why a military aircraft tasked to evacuate Clandonian and Questarian civilians would come at dawn – after all, it would be a pretty uncomfortable time for any civilians to get up and board the planes. But, as it often happens, not all was as it seemed.

For before the civilians could load onto the Allanean planes, the craft had to be unloaded. They carried Airborne Troops – the Hatarian peacekeeping FORce, the HFOR. In full, they comprised a couple of Airborne Divisions – the 3rd Satanist Airborne and the 4th Christina Aguilera Airborne division, to be precise.

But it did not comprise only that.

The amount of Clandonian civilians in Morocco, thankfully, was rather low – and therefore, most of the Allanean Air Force's immense fleet ofloadbearing aircraft was not needed for the mission. It would be needed elsewhere.

At Tagumite and Taouz, two mechanized infantry divisions were landed. Chosen to become members of the HFOR were the Randsburg Guards Division - their divisional banner pure-white, with a golden dollar sign stitched at the center, with the slogan 'A is A' blazing proudly on ever tank turret and every IFV. They would land at Tagumite. At Taouz – due to someone's really bizarre joke – the Cato the Elder Mechanized Infantry Division would land, IFV engine roaring, sergeants barking command.

And yet, this would not be all.

The Commerce Department rented dozens of civilian ships, ordering them towards Hataria. They would be completely peaceful and unarmed (compared to an Allanean war vessel, that is). There was no need – nobody would dare attack an Allanean vessel. They carried the hastily-affirmed Hatarian Aid Package – 50,000 Nakil 1A1 tanks, 150,000 ABR-8 rifles, and literally millions and millions of shells, aircraft bombs – as well as a more 'serious cargo'.

Gifted to Hataria would be 1,000 Glushko intermediate ballistic missiles and nuclear warheads for them, tons and tons of ricin, mustard gas, and other chemical weapons.

And yet, not a single shot was fired by Allaneans on behalf of the Hatarians. Clearly, Allanea did not wish to become militarily involved in the war – they were content to remain a biased peacekeeper.

The order was given to aid the Dominion’s ally in Morocco against the warmonger hordes of the Hatarian Empire. The fleets would head toward Rabat to attack and reinforce allied hold on the city and the waters around it. The Atlantic Alpha fleet, the Atlantic Beta fleet, the Atlantic Gamma fleet were turning west and head the 600 mile trip to Morocco and to Rabat. Their crews ready to strike at the enemy with all of their might.

The Black Sea fleet and Italian Dragoon fleet would stay in their present location until order to move toward Hatarian Empire territory in Europe and North Africa. With them would be the bombers of the Dominion Air Force to bomb Hatarian bases into the dust. These forces would move under the order of the man, the myth, the legend, but it would be some time for that order to come.

As of now, the three Atlantic fleets moved across the waters and toward the battlefield was is Morocco. The three fleets totaled into over 250 naval combat ships, which didn’t count the supply and support ships that look about a hundred of more ships.

Today was great day to die and today was the day everything will change. The Dominion could loss this battle or win it.

There were chanting on the Dominion warships of proud and brave sailors, ready to help their allies like they have done in the past. These men and women walked with pride in every step, but they knew some of them would die today.

A message was sent to the Hatarian Empire: Do you want to see what allies really do for each other? You’re time is up, Empress. Your empire is not wanted in Europe or North Africa. Do the smart thing and leave those land to save the deaths on your side. ~ The Count

Classified Message From Clandonia

If you leave the current conflict and not intervene again, Allanea will contribute 150 billion dollars per year for 150 years for the reconstruction of your economy. You will also be gifted 10,000 Nakil 1A1 tanks.

OOC-I generally do not side with Hataria, but he and AxisNova have both said several times that this is not Greater Morocco, nor is it a Morocco with past connections to any of your nations. That means it would be rather difficult to use GM or some other Morocco as a cassus belli.

Correct me if I'm wrong, Hataria/AN.

While the ongoing efforts of Hataria to tighten it's grip on the country continue, as do the Axis Novan efforts in southern Morocco, there is one more bit of preparation going on.

In the port of Tangier, as soon as night falls, the quiet hums of quasiturbine engines are heard, as a number of vehicles are loaded onto some Hatarian amphibious assault craft. After a few hours, the loading is completed, and the ships pull out.

Far overhead, an orbiting Axis Novan carrier airship sends a laser communication pulse to one of the vessels, the two stealthy recon UAVs it has deployed orbiting over Gibraltar Rock, one keeping an eye on the single British Type 23 frigate in the harbor, and the other designating the rock's main radar, as well as other items of interest.

As the amphibious assault ships pull out, the radar picks them up, and the alarm begins to be raised. The Type 23 frigate begins to get up steam as it is raised to full alert, it's attack radar casting outwards for opponents. However, this doesn't last long, as the orbiting airship fires off a volley of antiship missiles at the lone frigate.

Heeling sharply to port, the frigate's CIWS guns do their best to swat the incoming missiles, it's SAMs joining in as well, in a heroic effort. One of the missiles is shot down, but the remaining four all impact the small frigate, easily penetrating the unarmored hull.

A split second later, their large warheads detonate, and the frigate simply ceases to exist, as it seems to leap into the sky in pieces, the explosions of the missiles tearing it to shreds.

The amphibious assault ships continue their transit, soon entering the harbor on the west side of the Gibraltar promontory. As they begin to dock at the harbor, the local police begin firing on them with small arms: pistols, shotguns, and some assault rifles from the local SWAT team. The weapons have no discernable effect on the massive ships, and almost immediately retaliation manifests.

Half a dozen Minuteman powered armor units leap off the deck of the lead ship, landing with a loud CRUNCH on the side of the dock as their legs take the strain of the landing. Lifting it's 14.5mm machinegun, the lead unit triggers a 75mm grenade into one of the police cars nearby, triggering a massive explosion that destroys the car and kills the policemen sheltering behind it, sending the burning, twisted remains of the car skidding along the ground until it fetches up against the metal doors of the warehouse.

All is silent for a second... then, the Minuteman units burst into motion, as more begin to leap off the decks of other ships, firing grenades, machinegun bursts, and bazooka rounds at the various police vehicles at the waterfront. The massive doors on the bows of the LSTs slam down, and CMGVs and Cutlass HT-1s begin to roll (or glide) off of the transports. As more and more vehicles and powered armor begin to unload onto the docks, the number of remaining police slowly shrinks, until all that is left are scattered corpses and burning police cars. Soon enough, the forces on the docks get organized, and the units begin to disperse into the city, headed for important strategic objectives, including the power plant, desalination plant, governmental centers, and water treatment plants.

Similar assaults are also being carried out at the other ports around Gibraltar Rock, meeting with little more in the way of resistance than local police, attempting to protect their cities. While their efforts are valiant, against Axis Nova's trained troops and high quality equipment, they are quite in vain, and by dawn, Axis Nova has more or less secured all it's strategic objectives in the cities...

Gorbechev's unit links up with the Asgarnieu Special Forces, almost mistakening them all for locals, whereas the Hurtians would stand out like sore thumbs within the local populace... As their South-Pacific Islander skin tone didn't quite match that of the Berbers...

'Gorby', as ordered, went out to double back and 'act lost' while enticing the Hatrians or Novans to do something foolish against his motorized kite... He brought a radio operator with him so that he could fly and not worry about what anyone was saying about him behind his back...

Even though he knew they were...

And wanted to know what they were saying oh so very much...

Especially since the radio operator would not stop giggling!!!!!!

(ooc: Keep OOC stuff in the OOC thread, please.)

(bump)

As the Asgarnian Special Forces group mergered with the Hurtians, they relayed their orders.

Order #1:
-Disrupt Hatarian communications in the area.

Order #2:
-Assist in the elimination of Hatarian soldiers in the area.

Order #3:
-Sabotage Hatarian military assets in the area.

Order #4:
-Form civilian militias and train said militias to disrupt Hatarian forces.

Soon, another group os ASF soldiers would wash up, and join with the current contingent...

The hatarians were soon makeing Morocco a deadly place for enemy Special Forces. The Hatarian Shadow-Yun (Hatarian Special Forces) were in Morocco to start hunting Freedom Fighters and enemy SpecOps.

and The Hatarians soon sent a Messenge to All Moroccans calling in them to turn in Freedom Fighters and enemy troops. Also, the High Command sent orders to the Hatarian Army to Kill ALL Asgarniean Special Forces in Morocco and hang their heads on Pikes around Rabat, now Being Surrounded by Hatarian Naval and Ground Forces as The Sige had started already.

The final Campaign was starting.

Rabat….


The Xharnian occupation forces had been centered within a forty mile perimeter of the city guarding it from Hatarian forces and their allies. The few airbases available were being to be readied to launch sortie flights against Hatarian ground positions.


Xharnian ground infantry across their sand created trenches began to prepare for a massive counter assault on Hatarian ground positions. These men in the tens of thousands would charge across the field and take the fight directly to the Hatarian forces. They would be provided with a mix of air cover and tank armor as the Xharnian divisions began their desperately needed push..



The Hatarian blockade would also receive a nice surprise as Xharnian naval units began to push out of their defense formation and begin a wedge to break the Hatarian blockade. The goal for this counter attack was to provide a morale boost for the beleaguered defenders and help allied forces reach the area to provide reinforcement support.



The newer and fresher units that had come earlier before the Hatarian blockade cut off outside support would lead the main counter assaults while the recovering border forces stayed and formed the second line of defense. It would be a bloody affair but not one that the Xharnian military was not used to. These men and women had been veterans of other conflicts and many of them were from the prestigious 1st Grand National Army Command.


Hatarian controlled Morocco (Formerly Xharnian held border)



The Death Korps Legionaries had been still together in ten man teams hiding in their network of underground complexes and tunnels. They did their utmost to evade being found as they continued with their standard mission. These emotionless warriors of the Fatherland continued to methodically hunt down and take out Hatarian and allied targets.

The Legionaries all were raised from infancy to serve the Fatherland and they did so quickly and efficiently. They were divided into squad based groups receiving only a backpack full of gear each.

They were given a field officer and the other nine Legionaries formed the body of the team serving as the unit. They were all trained to be able to do each other's job in case of the misfortune that one of more of them did not make it. It was a dangerous life to be in the Xharnian Death Korps.


They would hide in the desert using desert fatigues and specialized cameo to blend in the sand and began to use their legendary and draconian training to snipe out targets. This process would usually involve the targeting of officers and higher up personal. It would then go with striking people that looked valuable like scientists, engineers etc, and then finally simple enemy soldiers.

The Legionaries would then begin to evade pursuit from enemy hunter personnel. It would be a difficult process but the Legionaries had been here for quite a while and had advantage of knowing the terrain and making friends with the locals.


The Death Korps personel would even blend in with the villagers and act as Xharnian intelligence with Hatarian controlled areas…

Message from Allanea to Asgarnieu

Upon what conditions would the Asgarnieu military be willing to leave?

In orbit

A single Thor sattelite entered position over the sea. It fired it's entire load of 12 kinetic projectiles at the Xharnian ships – firing 2 projectiles for every ship targeted, in case it should miss with the first strike. Then it went on it's orbit, empty and useless.

But it was not all.

From the Allanean positions, two Mechanized Infantry divisions began to move on Rabat on a wide front. They would not stop until they could see the front edge of enemy positions – and then, they did not need to go on.

The range of a Kriegzimmer-made self-propelled artillery gun is up to 100 kilometers – and this meant that Allanean artillery had range into the city.

They used it well. Every three minutes, all the cannon at the disposal of the two divisions would fire an immense salvo, aimed at the direction of the airfields.

Simultaneously with that, MRLS systems began artillery preparations against the 40-mile perimiter, raining down fuel-air munitions to clear out both landmines and living people.

But this was not all. Anti-air munitions would be launched against any aircraft taking off from Rabat, whether or not it was attacknig the Allaneans. Under this cover, Allaneans would begin digging trenches, anti-tank ditches, field fortifications – even as aircraft flew division after division into Hataria. The Airborne troops, too, would later arrive and join the encirclement.

From Hataria – where the forces of Rotten Bacon had fail shamefully to attack the proud nation, two battlegroups were diverted to aid the Hatarian blockade of Rabat. Moreover, the Allaneans have effected a simple, and yet sadistically effective tool.

Cargo aircraft, laden with marine mines, flew between the Hatarian perimeter and Rabat, dropping hundreds of mines into the water. Now, even if Hatarians retreated, sending food into the beleaguered city would become dangerous.

The rationale was simple:

A city of 1.2 million population cannot live long off it's own foodstocks, much less support a foreign military. The foodstocks need to be brought in. Cut off supplies – and all the Coalition forces need do is wait – wait, while the artillery barrages and hunger whittled the enemy down.

The Hatarians would be Harder to defeat then what The Xharnians would Think. The hatarians had started The Sige with 897,000 Troops with 400,000 More coming, all Armed with AK-103's, KPV 14.5mm heavy machineguns and other weapons.

The Xharnian Planes would also Meet 2,000 Tunguska anti-aircraft vehicles that were fireing against enemy planes while 2,000 RAGI-17 Intercepters were attacking The enemy Planes.

The Xharnian Fleet would also soon see it's fate as 600 RAGI-80 Sharks armed with Thermite Missiles attacked The enemy Fleet, fireing CIWS Jammers while Launching The Missiles.

The Hatarians also started searching out for Tunnels and Blasting them with Bunkerbusters with Napalm and Thermite Bombs. Also what was left of The Xharnian Death Korps in Morocco was being Hunted Down.

Xharn was doomed.

Subject: Forces in Morocco

Why in the blue hell do you care what it will take to remove Asgarnian troops from Morocco? We pulled out ages ago. As far as you are concerned, we do not have any forces in the country.

Thank you.

...END MESSAGE...

OOC: Aren't you in the GASN, Allanea? Why would you help out Hataria?

The reports of the events in Morocco flooded into Dreadfire's office daily, and each new report brought a grim assessment of the progress, or lack thereof, on the ground. Xharn had long been under the protection of Automagfreek through their membership in the Empire of Eternity, and up until this point Damien had been content to let the Xharnians defend themselves....but now it was clear that they could no longer do so.

There is no question in my mind, Zander. I need you gone by tonight. I will contact the Lord Reaver per your request and see to it that your needs are tended to.

Zander bowed respectfully before exiting the throne room of the Great Hall and heading towards the car waiting outside to take him to the ULE City airport. From there he would fly to St. Freeksburg and set sail for Morocco with his full detachment, consisting of countless hundreds of warships and support vessels. Knowing full well that there were other hostile forces in the area, additional forces were placed on reserve should matters further escalate.

Waiting at sea was the War Nerve, the fabled flagship of Zander that had been in wars longer than some nations have existed. Crowding the docks were hundreds of thousands of Sentinels, loyally saluting and cheering their commander as he arrived later that day. Slowly the Freekish ships began to slip from port and rally several dozens miles out to sea, forming up roughly while continuing to prepare for the journey to Africa.

Meanwhile, a message was sent to the Xharnian high command:

~From the desk of Lord Damien the Destroyer, Supreme Warlord of the Excessively Armed Empire of Automagfreek~

We have watched with growing displeasure the fight inside Morocco, and we have rallied our forces to come to your aid in this dire time. Xharn has long been a member of the Empire of Eternity, and we refuse to stand by while a nation whom we have sworn to protect is ravaged by outsiders.

Therefore, I have ordered Warchief Zander to sail for Morocco and eject the Hatarian menace that has defiled it. We will also sweep the entire region and forcibly remove any threat to Xharnian territory, while at the same time helping to rebuild and restore Morocco to its fullest.

Worry not, soon the tides will turn against those who seek to conquer you, and they will pay dearly for their foolish ambitions.

Rabat……….


The Xharnian Navy had taken a critical hit with the sudden onslaught of enemy fire. The Fleets defenses all come online but only managed to stop some of the incoming missiles as others got through and smashed into several destroyers and cruisers. The sights of various explosions and blasts could be seen on land….


The three main Xharnian aircraft carriers began to launch their sea interceptors against the incoming Hatarian ships. This fast naval aircraft were meant to take out the enemy aircraft that were now moving back to refuel. They would line a target with their sights and use their sidewinder missiles to take them down…


The Xharnian presence on land was not varying as well either it seemed. The Hatarians greatly outnumbered the Xharnian troops on land and the sight of large scale ordnance striking the city was not missed. The SAM sights across the city began to fire upon the incoming Hatarian bombers and fighters trying to take them down. The SAM’s were patriot styled surface to air missiles unleashed their deadly arsenal up to the heavens with the intent of striking down the enemy aircraft.


The Xharnian Artillery Bolter Cannons began to return fire upon the Hatarian positions. These massive weapons unleashed several shells of highly explosive ordnance upon the Hatarian troop positions. The Xharnian defenses even had their mortar teams prepare to unleash a salvo of deadly explosive fragmentation weaponry inside Hatarian defensive positions. The goal was to destabilize their defenses while the incoming Xharnian infantry began their charge with the assistance of the Predator Heavy Battle Tanks and the Dragoon Class APC’s. The Sentinels Walkers were also coming to help with the assault these lightly armored by fast mobile walkers would use their massive 88mm mini guns to rain suppressive fire down upon the enemy.

The Xharnian military was not beaten yet but if help did not come soon as this would be in vain….

The Patron Joseph Stromberg was receiving little Intel on his forces in Morocco. The Axis Nova attack on Xharnian satellites and communications had devastated the HIVE’s network gathering. The Xharnian military was using older and lower tech satellites to stay in contact with their forces. It was not the most ideal solution but it had to do for now.


The Central Military Command of Xharn realized without assistance the war would be a tragedy in the making. The sudden arrival of Damien’s message of assistance was greatly appreciated by the upper echelon of the Grand National Unity Party. It was like a thin ray of hope had become a massive sunny beacon.

The Patron Joseph Stormberg smiled at his comrades and said, “I told you all that proper alliances are worth ten Death Korp legions.”

The others agreed with their leader and began to calculate sending more forces into Morocco as another message was sent back to Lord Damien Dreadfire….

OOC: Sorry for the crappy post. I have to get to work soon and wanted to make a post before leaving….

Those with eyes to see over the past few weeks since the Axis Novan occupation of Gibraltar may have noticed something odd: an extremely large platform of some sort being (slowly) towed from Hataria.

Upon it's arrival, it is towed into the Gibraltar Strait, and anchored at about in the middle, equidistantly between the two shores. As it's five legs contact the bottom, sonar in the area records the extremely loud sound of the anchor drills drilling into bedrock to anchor the platform in place.

Work immediately commences on the platform as various other components are flown in and begin to be attached. The platform grows quickly, and it's obvious it was designed for quick assembly. The purpose, as yet, is not entirely apparent...

"The Med fleet will, aside from long-range support, remain unengaged and where it is, for the moment at least." Spoke the Evenstar to the gathered commanders, many of whom were already geared-up and awaiting the end of the council to depart for their various vessels. He continued,"It will be the Atlantic that moves to aid Zander, and the command will belong to Brax."

The young Lord of the Marches, Jorai Brax, was the expected choice, and a murmer of agreement ran around the table. Already passing through the English Channel, the fleet was making good time and would have plenty of leeway before the fun began in Africa. The bulk of the fleet's ships were new carriers and warships, with a sizeable wing of Crimmond-built subs and transports.

"The overall command belongs to Brax and Zander, this go'round, but as always the fight is yours. Take it to this rabble. Dismissed, and the Gods sail with you." The Council broke up, and the Lord Reaver went to release issue his final orders. Many of the departing commanders would fly to join Brax, with the rest scattering across Pantera to raise and prepare a second force for departure to Africa.

The Hatarians lost 30 of their Planes but The Fighters were attacking The enemy Planes, useing PAHSI-65 Anti-Air Missiles, The Hatarian RAGIs Attacked with force.

Subs, waiting on The Bottom were soon Targeting The enemy carriers and fireing Four Torpedoes from each of the ten subs that were attacking.

12 Ships were sunk on The Hatarian Side.

On Land 2,000 Hatarians were killed, But Help came as 50 TR-1 Tank Walkers came on the attack against The enemy Tank Walkers. 500 KA-52s were also helpping Out, Targeting the enemy Armor and fireing Anti-Tank Missiles.

and The hatarians were now letting lose their own deadly Surprise. In The Forum of 10 things that were Walking to The Battlefield. These things appeared to be higher then a Tree, about The size of a 40 Story Building. a Bird Head-Shaped Hood could be seen, Looking Back and Forth, Long, Metalltic Tentacles were waveing around. The Hatarians new War Mechine, The TR-2 Tank Walker or The Battle Endder As it was called, had come and was now heading to attack the enemy. Armed with Two 77mm Mechine Guns, one Missile launcher and a Flamethrower, this was a weapon that would end this battle soon, walking on Three Legs.

Continuing their policy of destroying Hatarian assets in every way possible, a pair of satellites drifted lazily, well away from the conflagration that was the Hatarian battle with Xharn. Anyone not watching closely would have missed it, as the inclination of the satellites shifted ever so slightly, and two massive rods shot from them, towards the impossible to miss, 40 story tall, moronically huge walkers. There would be little hope of stopping them short of their impact on the most idiotic and incompetent concept anyone in the Miehmish high command had ever seen. The satellites were going to be rendered useless, it was almost certain, but they'd have made their point.

Keep OOCs in The OOC Thread

Zander's fleet was still a hard day's sail away from any sort of real action, though the closer they came to Morocco the tighter their defenses became. Knowing that both Hataria and Axis Nova had been freely using orbital weapons, Zander armed fists of Stratosfighters with medium range, high speed, multi-stage kinetic missiles capable of exiting the atmosphere and neutralizing any weaponized satellite. Zander would also make it clear that any use of orbital weapons against his forces would signal a clear escalation in aggression, and further measures would be taken to make the offender pay dearly. The crews within several battleships and missile frigates began readying chemical tipped missiles and shells for immediate retalliation should an attack from space occur.

Several Freekish satellites disguised as Iuthian news satellites began moving into the area to scan the entire area for surface threats and ground defenses that would fall under siege during the initial incursion into hostile territory. They would also keep an eye on whatever weapons platforms that were in orbit in the event they became active and fired upon Freekish air, ground, or naval forces. To further ready himself for battle, Zander ordered several of his 'Shredder' Type-212B submarines to advance forward and scan for any subsurface threat as the armada advanced towards Morocco. UAV's outfitted with MAD gear and other detection equipment were put into flight and set forth to evaluate any submarine or surface combatant strength in the path of Zander.

Highly encrypted communications were sent forth to the Xharnian forces within Morocco that had been defending themselves tooth and nail against the Hatarian invasion, and coordination efforts were immediately discussed. The two forces would would stay in close contact throughout the duration of the conflict and would report any disturbance they encountered so the other force could react accordingly. But as the ships drew closer to Moroccan waters, it became increasingly clear that Zander would muscke his way onto the shore by any means necessary. His formations were exact and well plotted in the event of a naval engagement, his escorts and main surface combatants placed strategically throughout the ranks of his ships. Sailing with him that day was the Reaver, one of three 'Sentinel' class SD's, and was the only ship at the time to damage the famed Hogsweatian SD known as the Warspite.

The Reaver sat in the middle of Zander's formation and prepared to unleash a monstorous salvo of rocket assisted, armor piercing, high explosive rounds at a moments notice. As the day grew late and hours continued to fall from the clock, General Quarters was sounded throughout the entire battlefleet, for the time to kill was drawing near. The giant black and crimson banners of House Dreadfire flapped ominously in the chaotic breeze as the mammoth convoy of ships steamed forward. The sounds of the sea splashing against the amored hulls of the War Nerve were interrupted only by the sounds of jet engines as more aircraft began to take the sky and circle overheard, their aerial perimeter expanding by the moment in anticipation for battle.

Warchief, do we issue our demands before engaging? Zander did not need more than a half second to reach a decision, which he signaled by a stern shake of his head. The time for words has long passed, and now the tongues of fire will unleash their torrent of retribution upon this Hatarian scource. Major, you may prepare your units. Soon they will be cast into battle, and I expect nothing less than total victory. The officer bowed and dismissed himself from the bridge while Zander began suiting up into his combat gear. He gave a glance westward as the sun began to die, knowing that the Reaver fleets from Pantera would be there if he needed them. Drag the waters of war indeed....

If The Freekish were lissening on The Hyrdophones They would have heard The sound of Whales singing, but on SONAR, something Large would appear, 20 Somethings, Under water heading For Rabat.

But The Freekish would soon nit be around.

400 RAGI-121B Naval Fighters, a New Type of Fighter was soon on its way from Hatarian Spain. unlike The RAGI-121A, This Model was faster (Going at Mach 5.3 in Battle) and had two ways of Going Undecated, one was a Built in RADAR Jammer, that would jam enemy RADAR, The other way was like The Mimic Suits of some other Nations Armies, The Metal Skin on The Plane had Small Mirrors that could make it hiden when it was at Sea Level, were it was more Deadly.

Armed with Tiger Shark-468 Anti-Shipping Missiles, These could go Though The Thickest Armor and Blast it with Thermite Warheads.

and They were targeting The Freekish Fleet.

The bald head of the young Brax shone as he paced the deck, listening to various reports. After swinging wide into the Atlantic, the Panteran fleet had made the turn back toward Africa and was presently due to rendezvous with Zander and the Sentinals.

His AtmosFighters were already in the air, maintaining a tight watch on the skies and sea below. Beneath the waves, acting as the Panteran vanguard, came the Crim-built subs, carefully sounding the depths ahead of the fleet.

As the carriers began to come into range of Zander's forces, the fleet began to break apart into it's various battlegroups. Greetings were sent, orders exchanged, and the three slivers of the fleet departed. One proceeded south, to maintain the southern approaches. The second to the north, to shield against the enemy presence in Gibraltar.

The remainder of the fleet remained with Brax, continuing through the sea to slide into readiness a small distance from the formation their Freekish brothers.

The Hatarians were waiting for The Battlegroup heading for The Straits. 30 Ayanami Class Destroyers, 20 Dead Moon Class Battlecruisers and 40 Tangalee Class Attack Submarines were massing at Gibraltar to wait for The enemy.

no Forgen Fleet would dare enter Hatarian Waters.

Near Rabat.

The 20 Submerged Objects were soon heading for Rabat at a Speed of 30 Knots, The Sound of Whale Songs was still heard under water as The Things continued to head for Rabat.

At Rabat.

4 of The TR-2s wer destroyed, and 23,000 Troops were Killed when the enemy Godrods fell, But More Trooper were headig to help in The Battle. But The enemy had made a Hole in the Sige, one being filled up By 50 TR-1s that were fireing their main Guns against The Xharnian Army.

On TR-2 walked to The Trenches with its Guns Fireing and started useing its Tentaciles to Grab The Xharnian Soldiers and Throw then into The air.

Bump

OOC:

Hataria/Axis Nova: AMF is here. We are all going to die unless you can come up with a peaceful solution really quick. There is absolutely no way the three of us can win against all of Gholgoth, and I hope you realize this. It is also highly unlikely that we will get any international support for this.

IC:

In Allanea

"So... Automagfreek is joining the fray."

"This is correct."

There was an uncomfortable silence.

"What are the chances of all of Gholgoth becoming involved in the fray, as it were?"

"Over ninety percent."

"Fucking great. I believe Mr. Kazansky should resign over this, don't you know."

"Like hell he will."

"I would if I were him. Such ineptness, getting us into a conflict with Gholgoth..."

"Oh, this is such nonsense. If you really were the resign-when-you fail guy, you would have resigned ages ago. Say, after the Longmere Incident. It's well known..."

"SHUT UP, BARTY! WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO NOW!"

Kazansky's face appeared on one of the computer screens. He watched the generals scream at each other for a few minutes, then spoke.

"So... it's aparently a bad thing that Allanea got in a war with a rampaging totalitarian craphole. It's also apparently a bad thing that we have avoided fighting any GASN members but in fact got Asgarnieu and Wanderjar and Clandonia out of the fight without a single shot. Yes, this is such horrendous failure."

Kazansky paused. "And yet, Gholgoth involvement is going to... readjust the odds a little bit. Ladies and gentlemen, I believe it's time for a diplomatic solution again."

"How are you going to do that?"

"Like always."

* * * *

From Allanea, messages began to make their way directly to Damien Dreadfire.

Dear Sir!

It is with a sense of great urgency that we watch your forces as they make their way towards Hatarian Morocco. You understand that while (as we believe) Allanea's forces are quite the equivalent of any one given Gholgoth nation and could give even Automagfreek itself a decent fight, it's not our intention to fight all of Gholgoth - as a matter of fact, such a thing would be a violation of our membership in the GASN and our separate peace treaty with Haraki, as well as our standing alliance with Illior. We therefore request a temporary ceasefire so that we may evacuate ground forces from the area.

It is not within our goals to fight, say, an APN member nation such as Haraki or a Sovereign League nation such as Doujin merely to protect Hataria, with whom we have no binding ties.

Sincerely yours,
The Allaneans.

P.S. Is it possible to seek an international settlement which does not involve the extermination of Hataria? Thank you.


In the meanwhile, Kazansky towered over Nadia.

"Look, dear. You know I care about you and your nation. But it's not possible. We can't fight all of Gholgoth and win - not when we're outnumbered... God, I don't even know how badly we're outnumbered. Again, you're dear to my heart as you have always been... but I'm not going to sacrifice my nation to my personal feelings. Or yours. Now, here's what we're going to do."

A pause.

"I'm going to offer Hataria an economic benefit package to compensate for the loss of your Morocco territories. I believe the Axis Novanians will help as well. You will even now order the folding of Hatarian forces in Morocco... this is a necessary sacrifice."

"Personally, I'd rather lose Morocco, which is full of poor people and sand - and keep Hataria, which is full of economically-advanced people, wonderful consumer products, and win."

~From the desk of Lord Damien the Destroyer, Supreme Warlord of the Excessively Armed Empire of Automagfreek~



Mr. Kazansky, my quarrel is not with Allanea at this time. Therefore I will allow Allanean troops and or assets in Morocco 24 hours to evacuate either from the country or the region. This timetable is so narrow because Zander's army will be assaulting the Hatarian army in Morocco shortly, and once that starts we cannot guaranty your men's safety. If after that time you still have assets in the area, we will do our best to not target them, but know that we will not halt any attack on Hatarian forces for anything.

As for Hataria, they will be punished accordingly for their hostile actions against Xharn, a nation I have watched over and protected for some time. Diplomacy is not a language the Hatarians speak, therefore I will not waste my breath on dialogue. Force and action are all the underdeveloped brains of the Hatarian scourge understand, and for their foolish ambitions in Morocco they will pay dearly. First I shall strip them of all their colonies across the globe and grant each individual one sovereignty, and after that if I am not satisfied that Hataria has been beaten into submission, then further action against their homeland will commence.

Acts of aggression and imperialism against the Excessively Armed Empire and those who are allied with us cannot and will not be allowed to stand. This is not a matter we take delight in involving ourselves in, but we refuse to abandon our ally in Xharn while their lands burn.

So I say again Mr. Kazansky, my fight is not with Allanea or even Axis Nova, and I will not engage either of you as long as your two nations don't stand in my way. I do not believe this is a war your nation is willing to sacrifice itself over, for defending Hataria is one of the most unwise decisions one can make. You have your 24 hours before Morocco is cleansed of the Hatarian menace Mr. Kazansky, and I bid you good day.

Meanwhile, Zander's sensors and UAV's picked up a large aerial movement coming from the northeast to engage his forces, and immediately he ordered the forward elements of his airborne fighters to advance in formation at staggered altitudes. A larger contingent would be kept in reserve to allow more planes to be launched, as well as to intercept any Hatarian fighters that made it through. Though the enemy planes numbered in the hundreds, Zander sent forth a mere hundred or so of his Stratosfighters and Sea Scorpions, both armed with long range Skewer missiles and medium range AI driven Hellrage missiles.

Soaring up to their maximum ceiling and readying their weapons systems, the Stratosfighters gracefully skimmed the outermost reaches of the atmosphere and prepared to drop down on top of the Hatarian jets. Their cruising altitude was much higher than any plan the enemy had to offer, and would strike from a distance with missiles but refrain from entering the inevitable dogfight until the Sea Scorpions could force the Hatarian planes into maneuvers.

More planes began to scream from the decks of their carriers and take to the skies, where they awaited word for the second wave of fighters to move in and intercept the inbound hoard. SmartFlak systems were placed on active search and destroy while interceptor missiles, CIWS, ECM, and other fleet defenses monitored for the slightest intrusion. Thus far the response to the enemy threat was nothing more than protocol, but Zander would also unleash an opening volley towards southwest Morocco. Find me the largest contingent of enemy troops there and send them a present. Within minutes long range cruise missiles were fired from the launchers of the Freekish frigates, where they would skim a mere several feet above the surface of the water until they hit land, at which time they would home in on their targets and engage them.

As this was happening Zander's fleet continued preparing its anti-air defenses and began making a sharp turn southeast towards the southwestern beaches of Morocco. This would add a larger buffer zone between the approaching fighters and the main armada, though the Warchief was confident that the lesser experienced Hatarian pilots would be no match for his flyboys. The air battle then began the moment the first Stratosfigher sent word that he had Hatarian fighters on his scopes, and that long range missiles had been fired. The rest of the forward Stratosfighter element followed suit and fired off their Skewer missiles, while the Sea Scorpions pressed forward and began acquiring their own targets.

"Men, you have your orders."

With a single, coordinated motion, the blockade of Rabat began to be lifted. Thousands of Allaneans poured towards airfields and naval bases. Within hours, urgent airlifts began to heave troops and armor out of the country. The 2 battlegroups that were originally sent in to fight he Xharnians were now busily loading up with troops and gear.

Of course, not all could be removed in 24 hours. It was only hoped that the Freeks would understand that the Allaneans were not planning to engage them, and in fact, keeping as much as they could out of their way.

As the dawn broke anew over Morocco, Allaneans were busy departing from the country. For them, at least, this war was over.

Taskforce Blade Jewel
On Route to Morocco

It had taken mere hours to ready an Imperial invasion force once the message from Xharn had come through. An entire fleet had been on station in the Mediterranean, preparing to intervene in the ViZion civil war situation, and its accompanying ground forces were on full alert in the nearest Yallakian port. Now a portion of this force was being diverted to Morocco.

Within the bridge of the Karak-class battleship Soulblighter, Fleet Commander Minaith and a handful of his officers were going over the most recent satellite reconnaissance and intelligence data on the region, preparing for the upcoming battle, though they were still a good day and half to two days away.

‘If we come across here,’ declared the ships Captain, Melîas, pointing to one of the maps, ‘we can hopefully catch them off balance. Then while we are engaged the transports can land the troops under our cover.’

A few murmurs and nods of agreement resounded from the assembled officers and then a silence fell as they waited for the commander to comment. However, he made no indication that he was even listening, instead he picked up one of the satellite photos, where something on it had caught his attention – a zoomed in shot on a group of ships that been observed on the outskirts of the battle area. ‘That’s a Sentinel-class super dreadnought,’ he finally declared dropping the image back onto the deactivated tactical display that served as a table for this gathering, ‘which make that a Freekish fleet and probable source of those transmissions we haven’t been able to decode yet.’

‘It could very well be, Sir,’ replied Melîas looking confused, ‘But …’

‘But no,’ interjected the Commander, waving the Captain into silence, ‘they have to be here to help Xharn too. They’ve also brought a lot more than we have. So we’ll circle the battle looking totally uninterested in the whole affair as we pass by, then turn in behind the Freekish fleet and follow them in towards the coast. Make the arrangements, Captain.’

Just off the coast of Sardinia sat the Meditteranean Fleet of Pantera. Anyone watching would have noticed only idleness in the days since hostilities against Hataria officially began, and would have been suprised when the sun rose and most of the fleet was gone. Vanished, if only briefly, into the Med.

"We're a go, m'Lord. Zander's birds are in the air and moving to hunt. Wing two-three awaiting orders."

The call was recorded and played over Brax's three-winged fleet's intercoms, and the Panteran decks were, for a good part of a minute, bedlam. The news of Allanea's withdrawal on the eve of battle was a serious blow to the enemy, and a large morale boost for the already impetuous Reavers.

Celebrations, boasting, cheering, and the wavering sound of the death chants echoed out across the waves as pilots climbed into their craft and strapped in, readying themselves. Stern but approving Reaver officers easily silenced the roaring and cheering, but they did it with half-hidden smiles, pleased with the continuance of the centuries-old pre-battle ritual: Sing and embrace your brothers, and boast of the loot you will take and the women you would make your own. And, although sport had been forbidden in Morocco, the spirits of the attacking Panterans swelled.

The northern, Gibraltar-bound fleet drew up well short of Hatarian waters and once more shifted into defensive formation. A thick screen of air cover was established over their now static position and their submarine escort moved forward, entering enemy seas and releasing depth-specific plastic defensive mines into a generous ring around the eastern approaches to the fleet. Their positions were marked and the ring was spread further into Hatarian waters.

The fleet heading for Southwestern Morroco deployed in a similar fashion, but took care to allow a number of underwater landing craft to stealthily drop away from the fleet and move toward the coastline. A number of aircraft were sent forward to attempt to skirmish and draw attention away from the covert landings of small elite-sniper and demolition teams.

The center fleet remained in formation with their Sentinal and Freek brothers. Brax, aboard his newly-built Plunder Class flagship Grief, was flying the burgundy and blacks of Pantera, along with the long, streaming reds and fire-oranges of the Reaver battle-flags, symbolising fire and blood. Their aircraft were mostly AMF designs with Reaver additions, and their pilots were battle-hardened men of a warrior race. The fleet's aircraft were maintaining constant and vigilant air cover, with a large number, perhaps a hundred in the first wave, streaking toward the enemy and engaging furiously at any opportunity.

It had begun, and the Gholgothan wolves descended on the Hatarian lambs.

OOC: Time for My little Surprise.

IC: The Hatarians were soon now unveiling The end of this War. and The end would come from The Sea. The Large things that were going under The sea were soon Riseing to the Surface, The Thing was Large, Panted Blue on the Top while that the Bottom, it was White. The Thing was larger then five Football Fields and had what looked like The Head of some Large Bird at the Front of it.

The Kraken had Come to The Surface.

The Kraken Class Troop Carrier Submarine was made for Landing Troops and makeing a Surprise Attack. on Each of the Subs were 1,000 Troops, 40 T-80 Main Battle Tanks, 20 PT-76 Amphibious Light Tanks, 12 9P148 ATGM Launcher Vehicles, 50 YW-531A APCs, 10 Tunguska anti-aircraft vehicles , 30 Trucks, 20 BM-21 122mm Multiple Rocket Launcher Vehicles and Two TR-2s and with all 20 Subs surfaceing, over 20,000 Troops were soon getting Ready to land.

Soon two Large Water Tight Doors Opened on The Side of The Subs as the landing Craft started Pooring Out and headed for Rabat, while a few Pannels faceing The Shore opened and Reveiled 20 Large 70mm Gattling Guns that soon started Fireing against any enemy defenses.

This Battle would end soon.

Bumped

Rabat….

The Xharnian forces continued to soldier on against the Hatarian war machines. The Xharnian soldiers were still charging at the Hatarian lines despite the fact the massive tripod monsters were throwing them and shooting them up.

It slowed their advance greatly but the remaining regiments continued to advance trying to ignore their own losses as they continued to advance against the Hatarians. The Freek High Command had already given the Xharnian forces a plan of attack and the Xharnian military began to carry out the plan. The goal was to punch through and performing a sweep advance southwards thus cutting off the Hatarian besiegers and separating them into two forces from north to south.


The fortress city of Rabat continued to fire heavy support against the Hatarian machines and their infantry positions. The Bolter Heavy Cannons continued to prep and fire against the Hatarian troop positions. The mortar teams’ still launched bombardment attacks along Hatarian lines to the south to weaken their positions as the Xharnian infantry continued to charge firing their assault rifles.


The Whirlwind missile tanks began to target the incoming tripods. They were armed with armor penetrating Krak missiles. The tank used satellite targeting to get a clear shot and fired their arsenal at the tripod machines. The goal was to try and slow them down or destroy them to allow more of the Xharnian Armored Brigades to get past them. The Sentinel Walkers also began to target the enemy walkers and fired their 88mm miniguns. The fighting was now escalating into a battle of attrition….


The Xharnian bombers and fighter escorts began to run sortie strikes on Hataria’s positions in the north to prevent them from helping their southern forces. The bombs were napalm equipped and they carpet bombed the Hatarians positions. The goals were to drop them on the infantry and artillery positions. The pilots continued to perform their standard maneuvers to avoid enemy surface to air defenses while they headed towards their targets.



The Xharnian Naval forces were not unprepared for enemy sub attacks. The Xharnian destroyers began to drop depth charges and Xharnian Attack Subs began to hunting for the enemy submarines. The remaining cruisers began to fire their 18’ inch guns at the enemy ground forces. The sight of these large guns was to disrupt the enemy ground positions and provide even more fire support to the Xharn forces. The Xharnian Aircraft Carriers began to continue to send out interceptors and naval bombers to attack Hatarian naval positions along the blockade. The Xharnian navy was going on the offensive against the enemy.


Outside Rabat…….


Death Korps Legionaries continued to attempt to avoid being hunted by the Hatarian forces. It was difficult thanks to the constant patrols and enemy searches for their tunnels. The Death Korps began to rely more on the local villages for protection. These battle harden Special Forces units began to form large pockets of resistance inside Hatarian controlled areas.

They would launch raids at night and help local insurgents launch internal hit and run strikes on Hatarian military positions. They would often enough try and destroy their defenses mostly going for SAM positions and other defenses like parked tank positions and Aircraft bases. They would then fire their rocket launchers and prepare to cause havoc on the Hatarians and try to hide back into the shadows. They would then attempt to wait for the Hatarian response and begin a covert ambush usually using heavy machine guns and Xharnian designed Uzi’s to gun down their pursuers..


They’re heroic actions were not without cost and many a good Legionnaire was gunned down by Hatarian security personal and many of them would be sniped in retaliation. The war on the desert was becoming one of blood for blood and by the gallons…

The commander on Gibraltar doesn't seem to particularly care about the mines being laid on the Atlantic side, considering the large number of mines Axis Nova has deployed itself further on in the strait, around it's platform.

Said platform, finally having the finishing touches put on, powers up it's systems, recieving a datalink from the radar aerostats orbiting high above Morocco. Massive turrets, the same type as those used on the I-Type class battleship, slowly rotate, pointing westwards and elevating. Geniestange rounds are loaded into the guns, and the hyper-capacitors begin to greedily drink energy from the platform's reactors, which raise their output.

A few seconds later, seven Valient II linear gun turrets fire, sending fourteen hypervelocity guided rounds through the atmosphere, targeted on the largest ships in the area. With a range of nearly 800 kilometers, and an accurate range with guided munitions of 200 kilometers, the guns are capable of hitting almost anything in the region...

After the firing sequence completes, coolant gushes from vents around the barrels of the massive weapons. Even with room-temperature superconductors, the massive amounts of energy involved with firing such a large electromagnetic weapon still generate quite a bit of heat.

----

In Southern Morocco, the Axis Novan forces are not particularly hurried. They are packing up their gear in preparation for shifting to the deserts in the Northwestern Sahara. A number of corvette-class airships slowly move along major roads, plopping out mines, one after the other. Disposeable artillery rocket packs are being concealed and emplaced in assorted locations as well, along with automatic machineguns and mortars and so forth. Soldiers rig booby traps in assorted important installations, and Minuteman units begin to move out, rolling into their large carriers, which trundle away.

Axis Nova appears to have no intention of abandoning the area...

The Hatarians were ready for any Plan The Xharnians were doing, More Renforcements were entering Morocco and now some new weapons were going to be used.

The RD-10 was a New Main Battle Tank, about The size of a T-90 Tank, and The same Armor, but what really set it apart from others was that it had TWO Turret Guns and it could fire Armor Pirceing Ammo against enemy Tanks.

that and it had a Flamethrower at the Front of it.

also entering The battle were 20 NI-12 Anti-Tank Walkers, These were Smaller then The Large TR-2s and was on Two Legs, But it was armed with one 7 Barreled Rocket Launchers and two Mechine Guns that were Fireing.

The DD-67 was a Light Walker that could run at 40 mph, The Body was based on The KA-50 Attack Helicopters that were joining The 50 DD-67's in Attacking The Chargeing enemy.

In The Southern Area, 200 Hatarian war Charoits were rolling against the enemy Tanks, these were not Charoits like on Ben-Hur, these woul Remote Controled Unmaned Veicles armed with to 12 barreled Rocket Launchers that fired The Tank Harpponer Missiles, a Thermite Tiped Missiled that could blast a Tank by going though it and blowing up inside the Tank. 50 KA-50s were backing them Up

In the North, the enemy Planes wer met with 400 RAGI-17s and 200 RAGI-40s, This Started a Dogfight with the enemy Planes.

The RAGI-40;s were fast and Nimble and were good for Dogfighting, Fireing GAI-27 Missiles against The enemy Fighters. The RAGI-17s were attacking Ground Targets and Bombers.

The Air Attack was also to Keep The enemy from attacking the 20 SIVIK-20 Stelths and the one B-2 Bomber whcih was now heading for Rabat, going around The air Battle and Targeting The enemy Artillery Prositions.

The Landing Force was landing at Rabat while The Troop Transport Subs were Diveing, The Marines were soon Fireing against The enemy in Rabat itself.

Algeris, Hatarian Algeria

The Hatarian Command Center for The Moroccan Front was now Ordering 40,000 More troops into The Battle. As for The Panteran Fleet, The Hatarians had their own Much Larger Meditteranean Fleet based in Algeris. This Fleet was Massing at Algeris and would make sure The Panteran Fleet would sink with every Roman Ship that sunk in The Meditteranean over the Years.

But First They would weeken it.

29 Satellites armed with Godrods were over The Med. The Satellites sent a jamming Signal to Jam any enemy CIWS. The Satellites launched The godrods against The Panteran Fleet as 50 Missile Satellites, Armed with Orbital HTAI-70 Anti-Shipping Guided Missiles launched the Missiles.

The Godrods would take The Slowwer ships, like Carriers and Battleships out or Damage them while The Missiles would make sure the job was done.

Meanwhile, Zander's sensors and UAV's picked up a large aerial movement coming from the northeast to engage his forces, and immediately he ordered the forward elements of his airborne fighters to advance in formation at staggered altitudes. A larger contingent would be kept in reserve to allow more planes to be launched, as well as to intercept any Hatarian fighters that made it through. Though the enemy planes numbered in the hundreds, Zander sent forth a mere hundred or so of his Stratosfighters and Sea Scorpions, both armed with long range Skewer missiles and medium range AI driven Hellrage missiles.

Soaring up to their maximum ceiling and readying their weapons systems, the Stratosfighters gracefully skimmed the outermost reaches of the atmosphere and prepared to drop down on top of the Hatarian jets. Their cruising altitude was much higher than any plan the enemy had to offer, and would strike from a distance with missiles but refrain from entering the inevitable dogfight until the Sea Scorpions could force the Hatarian planes into maneuvers.

More planes began to scream from the decks of their carriers and take to the skies, where they awaited word for the second wave of fighters to move in and intercept the inbound hoard. SmartFlak systems were placed on active search and destroy while interceptor missiles, CIWS, ECM, and other fleet defenses monitored for the slightest intrusion. Thus far the response to the enemy threat was nothing more than protocol, but Zander would also unleash an opening volley towards southwest Morocco. Find me the largest contingent of enemy troops there and send them a present. Within minutes long range cruise missiles were fired from the launchers of the Freekish frigates, where they would skim a mere several feet above the surface of the water until they hit land, at which time they would home in on their targets and engage them.

As this was happening Zander's fleet continued preparing its anti-air defenses and began making a sharp turn southeast towards the southwestern beaches of Morocco. This would add a larger buffer zone between the approaching fighters and the main armada, though the Warchief was confident that the lesser experienced Hatarian pilots would be no match for his flyboys. The air battle then began the moment the first Stratosfigher sent word that he had Hatarian fighters on his scopes, and that long range missiles had been fired. The rest of the forward Stratosfighter element followed suit and fired off their Skewer missiles, while the Sea Scorpions pressed forward and began acquiring their own targets.


The Hatarian Planes saw The Missiles comeing and started Going up and doing a Few Moves to Dougge them, but 23 of them were hit and blasted out of The sky, but none of the pilots were killed because they were in Spain.....

The Planes were Robotic Remote controled Fighters and the controlers had spent time playing games and soon started in for a Dogfight against The Stratofighters climbing up to meet them while Leading the Sea Scorpions to a trap.

Hatarians were good at Dogfights.

Squadron reports began coming out from the officers in the air that the enemy interceptors were merely UAV's, though they were actual planes and not mere tiny drones like those the Freekish military used. This was a large benefit to the pilots in the air, for their foes manning the joysticks on the ground would not have the same situational awareness as a man inside the cockpit would.

Upon seeing the UAV's climb in an attempt to reach the Stratosfighters, the Sea Scorpions began breaking off into several attack patterns, though a portion of their main element remained on course. The fighters that broke formation began soaring upward and poured on a hail of air-to-air missiles and cannon fire at the exposed underbellies and 6 o'clocks of their targets. The Stratosfighters were relatively safe, for they were easily 10 to 20,000 feet higher than the maximum ceiling of their Hatarian foes. However this did not prevent several fists of planes from dipping down slightly to engage with medium range missiles, then pull up and resume their patterns.

With planes above, below, and now coming up through their center, the Hatarian swarm would be in a dangerous position. With the Freekish fleet still within a relatively close proximity, the Stratosfighters and Sea Scorpions would have the luxury of liberally firing their weapons at any target that presented itself, then returning to their carriers for reloading while substitutes launched to maintain their numbers. The lumbering swarm above Zander's fleet began gradually advancing towards the mass dogfight that was taking place, hoping that the increase in Freekish jets within the fray would force the enemy to bug out.

Status on our cruise missile launch? Zander was curious to see the level of destruction as the coast was slowly coming within range of the Reaver's guns. The Warchief's first mate shook his head and informed him that the missiles must not have impacted, and that a follow up wave would be employed immediately. This time, the munitions would be outfitted with EMP warheads to knock out any enemy power grids or radar installations along the target LZ. Bursting forth through a cloud of smoke, the cruise missiles took to the air and began lowering themselves to a mere few feet above the water to begin their journey towards their targets on land.

As the frigates and submarines continued their follow up volley of cruise missiles, the guns of the Reaver suddenly exploded with activity, a sign that the fleet was nearing the beach and a signal to the Sentinels within the armada that they should make ready. The armored landing craft began filling with soldiers and armored vehicles as last minute preparations were made for the coming beach assault. Additional aircraft were launched to supplement their air defenses and to assist the Sentinels once they touched down, though Zander was confident that the Hatarian UAV attack would fail and he would be able to divert massive air power to the southwest of Morocco.

Squadron reports began coming out from the officers in the air that the enemy interceptors were merely UAV's, though they were actual planes and not mere tiny drones like those the Freekish military used. This was a large benefit to the pilots in the air, for their foes manning the joysticks on the ground would not have the same situational awareness as a man inside the cockpit would.

Upon seeing the UAV's climb in an attempt to reach the Stratosfighters, the Sea Scorpions began breaking off into several attack patterns, though a portion of their main element remained on course. The fighters that broke formation began soaring upward and poured on a hail of air-to-air missiles and cannon fire at the exposed underbellies and 6 o'clocks of their targets. The Stratosfighters were relatively safe, for they were easily 10 to 20,000 feet higher than the maximum ceiling of their Hatarian foes. However this did not prevent several fists of planes from dipping down slightly to engage with medium range missiles, then pull up and resume their patterns.

The First Cruise Missile Strike coaght The Hatarians by Surprise and 2,000 Hatarian Soldiers were killed by The attacks on Hatarian Targets, the Second wasn't takeing them By Surprise as Anti-Cruise Missile Defenses soon were launched to take out The second wave with force. All The while, The hatarians launched Land based cruise missiles and Anti-Shipping Missiles, The Missiles Totaly Numbering at 2,300 heading for The Freekish Fleet, on The Beaches, Rail Guns soon started as The enemy fired, Targeting The enemy Flagship and The Carriers.

In The Air, 89 of The RAGI Mimics were blasted, but The Freekish would soon face a more deadly enemy coming their way, a far deadlier Plane was coming. The Forward Swept Wing Design was common on all Hatarian Planes, and this would be seen as 700 RAGI-78 Comets soon started coming from Spain, these were High Altatude Fighters, going from 10,000 to 40,000 Feet in the Air and heading for the enemy at Mach 3.0, Slowing once they reached The Battle to Normal Battle Speeds.

This Battle would be large.

In contrast to the furious battles further north, down in southern Morocco and the northwestern Sahara, things are fairly quiet. The situation is monitored with the radar aerostats that have been deployed at various places, but for the moment, no attempt is made to interfere... though radar data continues to be relayed to Hatarian forces.

Excavation at the construction site for the base continues, with the first third done.

Grand General Asuka soon Decided to send over half of The Algerian Colonial Guard, some 5,000,000 Algerians to make sure The Freekish Army would be drawn into battle far from The Fleet and deep into Hatarian Controled Territory. Along with the Infantry and the Trucks and APC that carried them, 200 CT-24s, 128 T-90s, 40 TR-1s, 20 TR-2s, 100 DD-67 Light Attack Walkers, 230 Tunguska Air Aircraft Veichles, 120 MATIN-78 Guided Anti-Tank Missile Launcher Veichles, 300 KA-50 Attack Helicopters and 500 Attack Motorcycles were soon heading for Southern Morocco with air surport from 2,000 RAGI-17 Intercepters.

They were going to finnsh it once and for all.

OOC:
So I take it you didn't spot my south group of airborne Marine Raiders upon insertion... I was so waiting for you to try sending a patrol out against them...

*digs up insertion post (cause I'm forgetful)*
Posts 90 and 103 FYI.

IC:
25 miles due east of Tafraoute (SE of Agadir a large coastline city, Tafraoute should sho up at 50 mile resolution on Google Earth) and <5 miles south of Tisgui-Ida-Ballou, clearing by highway 7085 (shows at 10 mile resolution (5 mile recommended), hybrid map, you'll see a stream/river, that's where they are).

20 miles to the SE was the major city of Akka, with suburbs Ait-Rahhal, and Tagadirt (among others). This city was deemed important since it was a major hub to overland transportation, both by river, stream, roads, -and to a lesser extent, air- it was considered heavily gaurded by AA looking out of Morocco, but not in. Thus, an approach from the NW would encounter little resistance.

Especially if the insertion was to be by land. Though the 'Minions' would be kept ready by the pilots in the event they would need any timely CAS.

Hatarian Spies, sent out to find enemy SpecOps sighted The Hurtian Marines and knew where They might me heading. "Radio back to HQ." one Spy said.

Algeris, Hatarian Algeria.

Asuka soon got The news of what The enemy was doing. "Send a Messenge to The 19th, their is a Change of Plans." she said

The 19th was the one that was to engage The Freeks should that land, but They were soon heading for Akka. They were to renforce the 18th Imperial Marine Regiment that guarded the Anti-Aircraft Missile Launchers, 20,000 Imperial Marines, 80 CT-24 Main Battle Tanks and 20 KA-50 Attack Helicopters were in Akka ready for battle.

OOC:
??????!!!!!!!!?????????
It's only 6 marines...
And you are routing 2 regiments to intercept them...

Plus, if Axis Nova's own RADAR and search parties failed, what makes you more successful, as you hold Northern Morocco last I recall...

Hmm... Mind telling me where Akka is, or what the other suburbs are called?

This is... wierd... I get the IC all clear from Axis Nova about a post a month old and now that I bring it up you almost instantly jump it with not 1, but 2 full regiments...
In a city Axis Nova holds...
With no notice that you even had a garrison in Akka...

I'll ask you to reconsider, I won't ignore this though...
1: It is rather noobish
2: You've had a good solid month to reply to this when it was still fresh
3: Why you'd 'guess' Akka is beyond me... Find it on a map and you'll see why it isn't an easy guess. I had literally 1,000's of choices...
4: You're send 2 regiments, which is rather wastefull of resources, especially if you expect to repell a freekish invasion.

Think about it... I'm a diversion... And until now, I've been failing cause nobody even knew... Now you 'know' and you are doing almost exactly as ICly hoped for.
(Though my OOC expectations were a bit higher)

Hmm, I just remembered I wasn't nserting those Marines to blow stuff up, just to insert them and watch the Axis Novans and Hatarians run around in a comcal fashion...
I believe I have succeded...

Now, to get a better way of guessing, I'll hypotheticall state I WON'T atatck Akka, and you only know my starting location (if even) and a map, maybe a bit of radio chatter, but in this case, there is none... Radio silence works wonders... (the directions on post 144 should get you within 500 meters of a start location, and the UL can go about 160 miles on a single tank of gas...)

Still, if you dispersed those two reg's out amongst the vilages, I'd still be up against about 20 Hatarians per village...

And 3 UL-2000s and 6 guys walking about with sticks doesn't look all that militant on a stallite photo...

IC:
The Marine raiders found a spy, and shot him, "change of plans"...
Tafroute
Plan B that is...

OOC: Hataria, I am assuming that you DO NOT hold Western Sahara. Is this correct or incorrect?

IC:

The Asgarnians mixed in with the Hurtian special forces had a trick up their sleeves. Just off the coast of the disputed territory of Western Sahara, another small group of Asgarnian Special Forces commandoes washed ashore. They were equipped with a new piece of gear: the Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle. However, this EFV was different. Instead of a weaker 30mm chain gun, it was equipped with a 105mm main gun. It was equipped with rounds designed to disable enemy heavy tanks at nearly two miles. There was also a state-of-the-art HSR-1 HyperSonic Rocket launcher for quick, guaranteed take-outs. In addition, it was given extra armoring, to ensure its safety.

Two EFV's silently rolled onto the beige sand.

"Damn, this would make one hot beach if the Hatarians cleaned this joint up!" exclaimed Operation Commander Salem Richards.

"Nope. The only way to clean up this joint is to wipe the Hatarians out. The way I see it, the Hatarians have a crappy touch. Whatever they come into contact with turns to shit." Sergeant Sean Vladmir bleakly stated.

In the number two EFV, there was a special long-range mast sight. Its sole purpose was to act as a forward observer for the secret ground forces.

In the number one EFV, there were 20,000 leaflets, each urging the Western Saharans' to rise up against Hatarian oppression.


To all Western Saharans:

Rise up! Do not let the Hatarians conquer you! The Morrocans wanted to conquer you, but you succesfully resisted! Fight now! Where ever you see a Hatarian soldier, kill him. Let no more Infidels try to take your beautiful country away! LIBERATION OR DEATH!

It was printed in the two most prevalant languages spoken in the region. With any luck, the Western Saharans would conduct terror attacks against the Hatarians in northern Morocco...

Kinda a change of pace for your guys who 'went local'...

IC:
Joint SF group:
The Hurtians wer both amazed and appaled, amazed that they manafed to slip 2 armored vehicles with 105 mm guns into enemy territory wthout a single fatality, they were appalled by their choice of vehicle, and their rapid departure from attempting to 'blend in'.

Deciding it would be more worthwhile that the Asgarnesians continued to 'blend' as the Hurtians would grudgingly play duck-duck goose against Hatarian patrols in these 'EFVs'...

Good ol Gorby: Somewhere in the Middle of all this, thuroughly lost in the hills.

His objectives were simple:
1: Make the infiltartion force look bigger than it really is
2: Make it appear they are where they are not
3: Not get killed

Steps 1 and 3 were fairly easy for now, since neither the Hatarians nor the Novans really seemed to mind the false chatter of invasions in Akka, Rabat, Agadir, Tafroute, Ait-Rahhal, Tafrout and Tagadirt. The goal was to broadcast these names so often it either seemed he was insanely stupid, and that if his intellegence was anything comparable to his comrads, the marines wouldn't be too hard to capture, even if there was a full division in Morocco, as Gorby was claiming... The alternative was that he was a 'cunning' but transparent ploy, by listing only cities he knew wouldn't be attacked... Or, conversly, the most effective of all, a little of both...

OOC: They wouldn't know who we are anyways, there's no markings on ANYTHING the ASF soldiers use.

IC:

A stack of leaflets were distributed to each Hurtian and Asgarnian soldier in the detatchment.

10 Disguised soldiers popped out of the rear hatch of each of the two EFV's. They were armed like the other Asgarnian Special Forces troops in the theatre. The previous ASF soldiers gave the new ones a sit-rep.

Now, to hide the EFV's.

On the side of a near-by hill, the EFV's were parked. A massive sand-colored tarp was staked into the side ot the hill with a 10 foot rod. Then, the shroud was placed over the EFV's. The ground-level part of the tarp was staked, too.

A GPS monitor took the reading of where it was, and a soldier committed it to memory.

The new commandoes joined the old ones, and they set off for their next mission...

the Hatarians were sending Small Commando Groups though out The southern Area. 4-7 Commandos were in each group and they had one Mission, Find enemy Commandos and kill them.

TR-2s were also Patroling, the Large Tripods scared The Locals into not fighting. These made sure to send The Messenge that The Hatarians now ruled Morocco.

UAVs were also in The air, searching for The enemy. These were Armed wit two Hellfire Missiles and they did meen to kill The enemy.

Jolt ate my reply, so I’m omiting directions to find these small villages.
Gorby: Krarcha, Morocco (NW of Oujda [zoom in to 2 mile res or else you won’t see it)
Gorbechev, running low on fuel, landed his plane on a dirt road in the Atlas mountain range. From there, he walked 1.25 Km to the rural mountain village of Krarcha. Here, he asked for some fuel for a truck that broke down carying supplies for the ‘Moroccan Liberation Front’ intended to go to Oujda for a general revolt, in return, the MLF would provide protection for the villagers, but they needed fuel and lots of it.

He also did a bit of recruiting, using each recriut or villager to cross refferance the other in order to single outsiders as potential moles. These ‘moles’ would be fed further dis-information.

He also trained the villagers how to set up concealed field fortifications that could not be seen by Hatarian or Novan spy satallites, yet would prove capable to help defend the villagers, he also taught them how to overcome the Minuteman II body armor with primitive weapons. He then gave then a field improvised mortar for firing 60 mm grenades.

Hurtian Infiltration Group (North): Charaba, Morocco:
The Hurtians flew over the rural coastal village of Charaba with their 3 UL-2000s and dropped leaflets.

The Hurtians then ‘borrowed’ one of the EFVs to drive into town. With UL-200’s showing overhead. They gave their stint, bottom line, claiming again, to be volunteers in the MLF army, and also made it clear that if they helped, they’d get protectin and shiny tanks.

They then asked for volunteers to hide the EFV, and helped hide it in the village, in the meantime, the villagers would help hide and supply the ‘MLF’ troops. Likewise, the local volunteers were trained to use the EFV correctly in the event the Hatarians decided to attack this small supply depot while away on an assault. The villagers were also trained to let Hatarian convoys pass unmolested, and let the heavily armed and armored front pass them by, then shoot them in the rear and ‘eat/devour’ the soft chewy center of the convoy.

Hurtian Infiltration Group (South):
Goes West.
Tazengzaoute, Morocco:
3 Planes fly over the old dusty farming village, and land neatly in a field nearby on a mountain terrace. Some locals go out to investigate, and are greeted by 6 militarily clad and heavily armed soldiers, claiming to be part of the Moroccan Liberation Front, and that if this village would provide food and shelter to the MLF forces moving in, they would gladly provide protection from any Hatarian reprisals, and ultamately take back West saharrah not only from the Hatarians, but perhaps even from the Moroccans; but right now, they must all fight against a greater evil.

The pilots claimed to have destroyed about 3 tripods and shot down 10 UAVs...

OOC:
Didn't say I was going to directly attack Akka now did I?
I'll need troops raised first...
May I see the specs of the TR-2?

bumpage, cause I don't like RPing with a brick wall.
