Yeppers an OOC thread woohoo! Though I doubt the battle will last much longer.

So finally a place to kill confusion! :D

So currently its:

The Mafia (Leafanistan)
Griffincrest Corp (Blackhelm)
Kraven Corp

Vs.

Groznyj

With others such as Spizania and Tigerlan coming to my aid and Emperor Pudu, Warmaster, and Demon 666 coming to attack me.

Tack on anotherr one on the aggressor side.

Hey, this isn't closed, right? Because I hold territory in the area, and may want to have reactions and whatnot.

actually this is at this time closed to whoever is already in because it is nearing its conclusion. Besides more people would muddle up things and Kraven is going to take the island for himself. those new guys, Warmaster was invited and actually ever1 else was too lol sry.

This is part of a much larger conflict not ur everyday rp.

An OOC thread! good stuff. Now I ask the questions I've wanted to ask but didnt wanna interfere with the thread.

What kind of guns are the militia/professionals using. (Assault rifles, side arms, sniper rifles, mortars, artillery, whole nine yards.)

Are your professionals wearing any kind of armour?

How much of Yeltsmin (if any) is still standing?

How many civilians are alive after the initial onslaught?

alright I'll answer these b4 I go. (I wont be around to post until this saturday so keep that in mind)

Weapons: The city was put under martial law for several months. As a result massive amounts of small arms and anti armor weapons were shipped in. Essentially ever man between 20-50 is in the militia. The militia is misleading its more like an irregular army. This is because every Groznian man age 18 or out of college is required to enter into a national guard/reserve thing for a year where they are trained as basic soldiers and disciplined. They also perform public works jobs, manual work around the country and are used to help in natural disasters. Cuz of this every person at least knows how to aim shoot, some have training in special weapons (anti-tank, engineers etc) and knwo how to fight in groups n follow orders.

They mostly have M16s and Ak47s. But theres also the occasional rpg, javelins though more rarer (after the city got bombed to shit any above ground weapons depot went *poof!*) SVD's and M24s snipers. Not many morters, they've been taken out in the bombing mostly. Also side arms range from whatever a normal person would have. Lots of the men have shotguns, some of the elderly who want to fight but cant go out and run around will stay inside with a shotgun or a frying pan or what have you.

Cuz of the unexpected attack the irregular elements didn't have time to organize as well as they would have liked. This explains the at times random fighting and the amount of snipers cuz lots of people have been isolated.

This is all part of a national initiative to make sure that attacking nations will think twice before trying to take a city by turning the populous into a fighting force. Groznians are fiercely patriotic because they have had to fight for their independance from Russia ( a little funky history I wont get into it) not to many years/decades ago.


Yeltsmin is now what Berlin was in 1945 or Stalingrad. Except with the occasional tall apartment building still standing. A few may even have windows on them still :p The north of the city, the industrial area with factories and natural gas storage and munitions depts is now a large crater. Nothing stand it is all as if a nuke went off cuz the natural gas tanks and munitions depot went up in the bombing.

As for civvies still alive I posted that in bold. The city is home to some 7.5 million. After news of how dangerous it was getting lots of people and most every child evacuated and left 6.2 million. After the bombing probably around 4.9-5million were still alive. The current figure stands at 4.5-4.7 million.

And finally my military is for the most part a mix of US Military in the 90's and a tiny bit from now. Mostly 90's. So soldiers have kevlar vests with the ceramic shock plates and everything else US standard. No LandWarrior. Standard issue rifle is the M16A2 & M4 although Im going to upgrade to the M8 soon. Also snipers use SVDs as well as M24's.

The armored division still alive consists of several hundred MBTs, then also Bradleys, and LAV-24 APCs, and HMMVs with either an anti-air launcher; .50cal browning, grenade launcher, or TOW missile. Oh and some Strykers too. That's basically it. And since a naval battle seems soon in coming heres my naval stats:

16 Nimitz and 12 Charles De Gaulle Class carriers,
12 Montana Class and 8 Iowa Class BBNs
56 Aleigh Burke Class and 13 Dragon Class destroyers
30 Ticonderoga Class cruisers,
22 Seawolf Class and 20 Virginia CLass attack subs. + 7 Surviving Seawolf Subs & 24 surviving Ohio Boomers from Task Force2

These are all about 150 miles south of Yeltsmin.

Naval Forces: nearly 300+ ships of various classes including converted cargo ships, fishing trawlers, etc. The converted cargo ships may have helicopters, biplanes on catapults, depth charges, tiny boats on them, etc.

Proper Naval Forces:
5 Los Angeles class Attack Submarines
10 Amur 1450 Attack Submarines
38 Krivak class Frigates
20 Alpha class Destroyers
3 Rajput class Destroyers
15 Long Island class Carriers
2 Invincible class Carriers
5 Wasp Amphibious Assault Ships
2 Homeland class Battleships

I have around 150,000 Marines in the city along with a ton of artillery and mortars.

I am hoping Kraven is going to approve my transfer of 60,000 elite Marines via Arterus to the front. They are foreign trained mercenaries with advanced equipment. They will defend the airfield while freeing up 60,000 of my forces to counterattack.

Shit I thought you only had like 10,000. Lmao good thing that's cleared up.

Btw, that is one bigass mafia.

edit: I forgot to mention I also have some Wasp class assault ships and some other bitish counterparts as well. Around 40-50 total. Will be used once I have to evacuate my forces and teh civvies. Will post numbers when I get back.

We are more of a country now, reflected by the not so often used name of 'The Republic of the Red Islands.'

It is meant to sound profound, but really isn't. I can also hire additional help thanks to the subsidies I get from various nations and my storefront.

hey Leaf can you explain somethin for me? When my gov't eventually runs background checks and identifies the mafia insignia with a certain power, what name does it go by? Leafanistan? Leafanistanian Mafia? Red Isles? Im just confused on this one issue.

[OOC: Definitely interested in this, and will get around to it hopefully ASAP when I get my ISP issues fixed, along with my post in my front.]

Groznyj, I'll need you to make some edits to your post, you posted my losses and reacted with my soldiers, I can tell you for a fact that my assault VTOLS wouldn't attack armoured units with Assault Cannons (not autocannons) if we could clear up those slight errors, i'd be happy to post losses, movements, etc

thanks in advance :)

As this is OOC i'll ask a few questions :D.

If this is part of a larger conflict, could i somehow become involved, for now in a smaller capacity with less RPing, possibly sending a couple of squads which i can easily keep a track of and spy out what is going on, and then enter some firefights if its ok to get more heavily involved in the war then that would be cool.

Problems with this if i did get involved (at least straight away)

a) im co-founder of the GDI, we like democracy and not invasions. Straight away im on Groz's side i think...

Red Tide was involved in a war against Kanami, which i supported as he was helping my allies. (technically im still at war with one nation involved then...)

However, i dislike Kraven from the past, they have invaded or threatened GDI members i believe.

The Mafia is a pain in the arse, they have used nuclear weapons and are a threat to world peace(not something i like), but leafistan is ok, not someone i want to annoy.

Blackhelm is, or was a regional neighbour.

So atm im thinking i could get these squads in to watch the situtation, and possible have a small, unofficial war with Kraven, at least in this conflict. Any thoughts?

[OOC: Definitely interested in this, and will get around to it hopefully ASAP when I get my ISP issues fixed, along with my post in my front.]

Might need you to hold on there, im going to edit my post a little, make it a bit longer, it looked longer in word than it does on the thread

I don't see any problem with it, but not right now, its just got the right amount of people in without getting confusing, you can send your people in but if you could avoid confrontations at the moment until i've secured the Colony, then your squads are free game :)

that is, if Groznyj agrees to it as well

I don't mind having an unoffical war with you, we could have a sort of cold war, a series of diplomatic meetings that go wrong, and various spy operations?

could be an interesting twist to the events?

I don't want to sound like a quitter:D

I was just wondering if, since this part is so near completion, I should wait to involve myself until the chronologically later attack on SEA itself...

The Confederate States of Spizania will have been at maximum alert as soon as Kraven became more active, (we have been caught suprised by him once, never again), thus the fleet is assembled, and now we will commit our entire oceangoing fleet to the screening of civvies withdrawing from the island, and provide transport to save everyone we can, il also deploy Para-armoured units to help forces on the island hold back Kraven+allies for as long as possible, saving the greatest number of civilians, then my fleet will withdraw, i expect to take 80% losses, since even though i can probably drive off the currently deployed fleets, il be within range of Kravens land based aviation... and SAMs and carrrier missile stocks only last so long.

hey Leaf can you explain somethin for me? When my gov't eventually runs background checks and identifies the mafia insignia with a certain power, what name does it go by? Leafanistan? Leafanistanian Mafia? Red Isles? Im just confused on this one issue.

The Republic of the Red Islands, tied to the Leafanistani Mafia.

Their ties to the Leafanistani Mainland have been severed, however the autonomous colonies of Leafanistan (II conquests) let Mafia industries recruit people and lure away refugees.

The situation is that the Mafia have about 1 million soldiers, 12 million are in various industries. While this seems inflated, the Republic of the Red Islands is still dependent on CA support, and Corrupt Colonial Officials.

The Mainland would love to crackdown, but due to red tape and the treaties they signed to allow the colonies to be mostly autonomous and self-governing.

In a diplomatic setting they prefer to be called Republicans, but the name Mafia sticks around.

Kraven, do you authorize my airlift? I desperately need those professionals to help me free up soldiers. I can also perpetually reinforce that way.

Also I keep a division of Kraven Troopers I grew from the stolen and 'recovered' tubes and 'reprocessed' women. Can I use those to help even the odds?

I am wondering the same as Wanderjar. We don't really like Kraven- we would only stick around because we REALLY don't like Groznyj.
Consequently, if this is near completion, I'd like to know if I should just pull out of this RP.

A ton of reinforcements are going to be pouring in, we need you to do a final blow kinda thing.

Well, Im not sure yet, I'm probably going to say no, as it isn't in Character for Kraven to allow another nation to use its land as a platform, also its advised that the division of Kraven Troopers doesn't come anywhere near Kraven, otherwise you'll find The Totenkopf Battalion breathing down your necks looking to recover stolen equipment and genetic material...

I'd keep them for use is covert operations and pretending to be me to sow the seeds of havoc :)

Wow, there's more people "involved" (more or less...) in this thread than I thought...

Anywho, as I am now one of these people, and have some forces incoming, I suppose the world should know what they are. (At least OOC'ly <.<)

I've made an IC request to move them. If you cannot, I'll probably fly them to the Galations and then move them via standard shipping to landing points.

I've been using my copied troopers to sow the seeds of havoc for a while.

Oh, and out of interest, what havoc have you been causing, would be interesting to read it :)

Kraven, check your TG's.

Ah yes, my bad, Responded

Confuse the hell out of the enemy. Deploy them to various corners of the globe via midget subs. They come out, wreak some havoc, attack people.

I think I fought Hataria with them and helped hold the line with Chellis.

Confused Black Hand Operations in Die Boerstaat.

Use them for dangerous suicide missions that have important psychological effects and distract the enemy from their real objectives.

I think I used them to stop a conference on slavery and prevent a true multinational force from emerging to stop us.

Ah yes, my bad, Responded

Thanks, I got back to ya. When should we start that?

Probably after Groznyj comes back, so that the thread doesn't advance too much, we'll make the second part of the idea a seperate thread

Sounds good.

OOC:
Basically, once my fleet is broken, my flagship is going to make a suicidal charge at the largest remaining enemy warship, although you are free to try and sink it and stuff, id think it would be better for the RP if you let it get through and they are both sunk in the conflagration, BTW Kraven, what is your largest warship?

Might need you to hold on there, im going to edit my post a little, make it a bit longer, it looked longer in word than it does on the thread
[OOC: Noted...let's talk about this over TG and over other areas besides the site, shall we?]

Immm Baack!

I had a great time at the MUN conference and I feel great to get this show back on the road. Kraven I just edited the post you were talking about (#57 I think).

Basically here is what I see happening in the near future.

There is currently a large Groznian offensive which has caught some enemy elements offgaurd and is gaining terriory however I know it won't last for long. While this offensive is going on a detatched Marine element is going to arive out of the subway and, if all goes reasonably well, liberate the civvy prisoners and escort them through the subway. -this is hoping that the offensive makes enough of a distraction and the Griff dudes are confused enough by a bunch of troops coming out of literally no where.-

After that I'm going to try and pull off a Dunkirk-type evac off the southern shores some miles southwest of the city. This thanks to help from Spizz, and Tigerlan if he ever decides to post.

All the while my remaining navy will do its best to provide cover while not suffering the same fate as TF2

Excellent, Groznyj, how was MUN? *high-fives cos' I love international relations*

And anyway, when can I get my FNLP Lower Parliamentarian Speaker post up?

It was great. One of our guys had an aunt who worked at the UN, a delegate for economics or something like that and we got to go to the security council n stuff. Yes we left a couple of notes there for the delegates. :D

I was also stunned by the amount of hot chicks there. I wouldn't expect so many especially at such an academically oriented place. Needless to say I enjoyed numerous 'extra-curricular' activities before and after the dance.

As for committees I was on SOCHUM and the resolutions we passed were on combating global illiteracy. The one I sponsored got passed in the Plenary Voting Session too. Yay. And coming away from it all I've made up my mind I want to practice law in NYC after I get out of law school. It was freakin' awesome man. Oh yeah, ma' country was Singapore if you were wondering.

Oh yeah back to NS..lol.

Pretty soon my I'll have my president give out a speech about the whole thing, included will probably be a thank you to Spizz or a warning to SEA, depending on how things go then. Idk when, within the next 5 of my posts for sure. Then feel free to yap away! :p

My Biggest Battleship is the Subjugator Class Super Dreadnaught, its 1.1km's long, and armed to the teeth, the best way for me to describe it is to show you the picture, although don't expect many stats for it, im more interested in the story, rather than what its capable of :)

Groznyj: Thanks man, i'll get onto a post asap

SEA: Well, I'll be online now and again, so throw me a hello and we'll get things rolling

Hey, can I send some troops to help Leafanistan? I'm not part of the CA anymore, but my troops still need practice...

I'm assuming that's where I would get the news?

Most probably seeing as how your not 'in the know' with Kraven n Co.

Since my planes can't really do stuff until Kraven posts, I'll put some crap up about my fleet, doing... stuff.

Well, I could have SAID units observe the island pre-invasion time, alternatively we could have gotten the intelligence from the President of the Republic of Groznyj, or an intelligence bureaucrat from the government of Groznyj...

Doesn't matter which one. You can assume our governments are already in close communication.

I'll go off into a tangent about the relationship between Ricardo the Rapist and Pvt. Watcher.

I'll probably get sexual as the last post indicated. Hopefully we are all mature people who can tolerate it. I'll try to stay more on the side of implications.

Perhaps tonight I may get time in to make a post of the rescue operation. Blackhelm you only have 50 or so guys gaurding camp Kryptonite right?

Oh, and very soon I'm going to be sending in a massive air assault from my carrier force. Probly once I'm on the retreat.

edit: Leaf can we assume the nukes you used were small enough as to not warrant major problems icly? (ex: UAVs crashing, tank losing their imaging and comm abilities, ships out of power) Lol. I hope so.

Bumperoozle.

A friend and ex-player of NS made it for him. Concremo. He pops up from time to time when Kraven needs him in part of a story.

Kraven's got quite devoted following doesnt he? Seems everywhere I go I see stuff about CPs and the Kreigsmarine...

If they were electronic or required complex machinery to operate, they will probably be damaged. However, most of my crap uses vacuum tubes and mechanical computers. At first people criticized me about it, but the EMP resistance is a good counter.

Most modern military equipment is EMP shielded to a certain extent, so we shouldnt have much trouble, and ofcourse his radars are all old and stuff, making them rather easy targets for ARMs and SEAD Generally

My older RADARs are just massive targets, the problem is that I use them as honeypots. I keep a disproportionate number of interceptors and fighters near my RADAR sites, along with most of my AA sites too.

I belive thats whats called, World War 2 documentaries, and doing what I do, Hallucinate until the swastika becomes the Twin hammers... I do it all the time... I know... I'm sad...

Postage!

When the invasion begins(probably has already), i need to read up, Groz is a member of the GDI and Kraven is evil...we have to help if its asked for. Plus Doom is close at hand to attack, so we have to repel invaders quickly so we can cause a cold war :P

Just saying i'll be checking up on this a bit :)

Hey Pudu you know your dropping the gas shells on not just my troops but any Griffincrest and Mafia forces their fighting too right? Also how pervasive is the gas? I'm not gonna need a totally wanked out super gas mask to deal with it right? Last question, is the gas clear or is it colored?

Anyways I'll get in a post some time tonight. Gonna do some indoor rock climbing before that.

The stuff, although pretty bad if you do get hit, will dissipate soon after, thus the need for a continuous, surprise bombardment.

It'll probably blow right into the face of my allies, but soon after that the first volley will scatter. It's rather light, and will float off.

No, this is nothing super-gas-esque, just annoying. Good for surprise, but once you know it's there, it stops being useful.

Soon we'll fall back on conventional attacks.

Yup, hope they have masks!


My mercs put on their masks as soon as they engage the enemy. Part of the regular doctrine and all because of the over eagerness of commanders to rain down Lewisite on the enemies, often without telling front line troops. I've been doing it since the TWSP invasion.

Hope Leaf can say the same.

Alright. Too bad. Oh well...

Oh, and CA guys - TG me if you want my help. I'll just say again - I'm willing to help out in your little wars.

We use gas so often how can I not prepare myself. I have whole body ponchos in canisters for that situation.

Good, the less of the people I'm helping that die, the happier I am. Generally...

Anyway, sorry I haven't been around for the past couple days... Sports just started up, and I just rediscovered Company of Heroes...

I'm going to put in a post, mainly just about the battle in general, nothing that will advance the story too much. Just want to kindly as you guys not to post until Spizania makes his post. I've been waiting a week on him erg.. lol.

Some one slap him for me please? :D

Yeah, since nobody has really talked about making contact with me, I'm just posting the same crap over and over, with tiny little bits of gunfights or what-not.

I need something to respond to! Help!

Perhaps your horror at being the Leafy Mafia being torn to shreds by my CAS birds?

Well Pudu my forces are in relative control of the west half of the city while the east is under the attackers. That and since most areas under corporate control would not surrender without a fight there's almost no people left there. So until you advance to the front lines or fight in the air you won't see much of me. I'll make references to sporadic gunfire from remaning people though.

Ok, so you, the people I am here to fight, are controlling the west.

The attackers, Kraven, Mafia, and Griffincrest, whom I came to help, are storming in from the east. From the sea, I assume. The "front" of the city.

My paratroopers were dropped in the "rear" of the city.

With the east being considered the "front" and the west thus the "rear", I should run into you very, very quickly.

Also, I made many, many posts attempting to make it known that I was hitting some kind of front, but nobody responded. I leave my posts right as something is about to happen, allowing the defender, or whoever, to actually say when I arrive, right after I said I would. I think you've been waiting for me to say "I'm at the front", while I've been waiting for you to say "He's at the front".

In any case, I landed behind the city, like I said, and you haven't been resisting...

[OOC: My GCSE exams are on the horizon in the next two months, so do be a bit patient, please folks.]

Pudu, considering I have constant air cover over the city and full radar coverage of the entire area sending your drop ships to my side wouldn't be a wise idea. But regardless I'll catch up reading first, sorry I haven't been around to post at all lately.

And SEA, before this week is out I'll get my president's speech in I promise, I know your about to slit my throat for taking so long lol =P.

edit: oh.. looks like fortunately I havent missed much...at all. Ah well I'll get a post up soon but I just wanna sort out this thing about your dropships Pudu. Hey do you know about #draftroom irc channel? TG me about it if you don't. I don't want to leave you hanging like this.

Anyhow, peace.

I made it pretty much clear where I was going, I thought, and really did expect some resistance, but none came. When the transports came in, they were escorted, but as they began to land, the fighters had to peel away for refueling.

Currently, they're somewhere in the process of coming back, for some CAS-goodness.

Anyway, yeah, I've heard of the channel, but never been there, and honestly, I would have no idea how to do that. Do you have AIM, or must I learn to work the irc chats?

Groz has Trillian, and likely all five of the clients in Trillian basic (AIM, IRC, ICQ, MSN and YIM). So do I. Trillian can be used on both Macintosh computers and Microsoft computers. Alternatively, if you've got Firefox, which can be used on both, go for Chatzilla.

Or you could use mirc or nettalk which is what I use, though I'm thinking of changing. If you want to know how to use it Pudu tg me, I'll send you a link of the step by step advice Willink gave me :p

Anyways I'm alright with you being right behind of me, kind of caught me offguard when I heard it, guess I misread it in the thread anyhoot; I'll get to a short post of sorts.

edit: most likely my next post will be my presidents speech.

I guess I didn't make it official, but here it is- since Hataria attacked me all of a sudden, I think my armies would be a bit busy at the moment. So I'm officially pulling out of this RP, though I hadn't done anything in a while.
Goddamnit, Groznyj, I'll get you someday:mp5:

[OOC: Also do please be very patient with my own response, as I have exams to do...we'll discuss how to iron this out the next time we see each other, till then, please have some consideration and mercy for I am under an ominous shadow that will affect my life...]

Mo worries friend, I am also too under a lot of work and it would seem so are all that are involved in this role play. So it's slow progression will be less of an annoyance and more of a mutually beneficial happening. :)

Seeing as I'm probably the de facto refugee center for the entire RP series, SEA recommended I could help Groznyj by helping the Yeltsmin people get out of the combat zone, getting them to safety, and aiding them. No military assistance will be given, however, except for escorts for evacuations transports.

Does this sound good?

The evacuation will be haphazard at best. Ships will be evacuating civilians in the midst of an ongoing battle fought by my and Spizanian forces in an attempt to buy enough time for the evacuees to get out. Groznian vessels in the area have been drafted into service and I wouldn't expect them all to make it out totally unharmed. So.. yeah if you want to help that's great but don't expect your ships to not be targets of the enemy coalition.

ICly I already have or shortly will have agreements with the SEA gov't for temporarily sending over refugees as he is the closest in the area so you could rp his gov't telling yours.

Now that we've gotten another post (gasp :)), I'll get on putting up a response. Expect something before two suns fall... Or something.

Fortunately, it's near the end of my IGCSE exams...

A promise is a promise, and it is one that I shall keep...this duel ain't over until it is over. Good job with your prose Groznyj. You're going to have to be added to a list of medal-bearers, and my leaders have ornaments to give out...

Hails, appologies from me, my internet is still not sorted and is not working at all now, were having problems getting the new wireless modem working, so it looks like this problem isn't going to resolve itself any time soon, not only that im currently on holiday in Poland, hence why i currently have the net :)

but i can promise as soon as my net gets back, you can expect some truely brutal kraven posts... you have been warned...

Hmm, maybe I should jump back into this, now that the Hatarian mess is over. After all, Groznyj, we still need a showdown;)

Lol we are all hopeful Kraven :p

Demon: I guess you can get in on this but of course your gonna have to deal with the four guys currently assaulting me.

To all: I had a lot of things going on in my life hence why I never posted. But finals are next week and after that I am free! Until 2 weeks after the 13th when I go to Turkey. There I may have sporadic access to various relative's internets.

But in the mean time I'll be able to post ;)

I really can't wait to get this rp moving again. It's been great and a big learning experience for me NS wise so I look forward to it.

SEA: seeing as how your in such close proximity to all this would you be able to spare some (or alot) of various ships to help evacuate civilians? In the same vein seeing as how everything that goes on in this island affects you and every hour I hold them back is an hour for you to prepare for the onslaught (you know where I'm going with this) would you be able to spare any military support? Eventually after the civilians and militia my Marines are going to need some sort of ride off and that'll be hard seeing as how what's left of my navy may well be tied up in a second engagement in the near future.

Until we get a Pudite, Griffencrest Corporate, or a Kraven response to the spurt of new activity, I say we should pause for a while and allow them to catch up.

Evacuation to SEA will be begun by Confederate Navy Vessels ASAP, after they arrive there theyl all be flown back to Spizania on Charter Flights :) To get them out of the line of fire, and il take care of those marines, along with my para armoured units.
Will post soon, very soon.

Groznyj: Well I could but my hands are tied in preparing my defenses.

Spizania: Well, it's my homeland, my rules, but as I told you before go for Vuhifell, Hamptonshire or Oceania. They should be nearer, and have willing committees.

Whoa whoa whoa.. SEA you mean you will not allow any refugees or troops to land on your shores??

Ok guys i need some help here, this thread has been stalling for long enough and its now time for kraven to really stick the jackboot in and stirr this nest of armoured hornets, i would like everyone to post exactly what their respective forces are doing, (more importantly what they are doing to me)

and hopefully (as i leave for home in a few hours) my parents have gotten the net working by the time i get home, i should be in full swing, otherwise i shall endeavour to beg, borrow or otherwise steal other peoples net access to complete my goals in this campaign...

Also today i bought a replica WWII german helmet, part 2 of my master plan, and further more ive been toying with the idea of trying to start a live action NS roleplay, involving diplomatic negotiations stuff like that.... *dreams*

More like an issue with already stressed out forces at home, and an ability to make it there in time. Sorry mate, but I'm heavily constricted. Though, if any of your vehicles make it across, we'll take them in, but not all thanks to our services being heavily stressed.

Lol. Kraven.

well what I am doing right now:

http://img507.imageshack.us/img507/9246/yeltsminbattlemap4de7.png

very basic overview. My land forces are split up into four major zones.

Original numbers, I have 14,000 men and around 200,000 irregulars fighting in the north of the city against a combined front formed by Leaf and Griff. I have 15,000 men frozen in time whilst heading in the center of the city to meet your CPs. 4,500 men are in the south of the city supervising an evacuation. Roughly at max 7,000 men (my reserves) went to the north west of my starting position to cut off the Pudite advance. Additionally I sent ~500 Marines to retake a highschool turned Griffincrest prison camp. They are currently assaulting hte building.

Also I have an armor batallion of M1A2s and M2A2s trying to flank Pudite. They just anihilated a Mafia armored collumn that tried to ambush them. I have several thousand soldiers moving on the other side of Pudu, the east in the city, to flank him. My NE defense has pulled back to several chokepoints and my N front is going to pull back slowly soon.

I have ~800 F-14s and F-18s inbound in 3 waves. The first will arrive in the next post. 64 standoff missiles have been fired at the enemy fleet at port.

My navy is splitting in two. A main carrier based force and a force of gun ships led by a number of BBs. Havent got the numbers yet will in next post. I also have a defensive ring of hibernating submarines and air patrols so Leaf's naval attack will end up going the same way as Blackhelm's.

Also I have 15 B52s inbound in 2 hours. and a fleet of merchant vessels in bound in a days time to evac.

Also Im gonna be helped big time by Izi but I'll let him post that.

Alot but you said be thorough lol.

Oh yeah. The time is now after 6:40 A.M.

Lol. Kraven.

Okidokie... net problems have not been sorted, but ive just bought a new modem and so hopefully things should be sorted by tonight, what are you doing exactly to me... I have an idea now that there has been a regime change... of some diplomatic talks, Helghan will be willing to talk... could be interesting, its been a while since ive done any diplomacy and could put an interesting spin on the storyline?

You once stated that Father's downfall takes place after Groznyj and during the front itself.

well my guys that went to meet your forces havent really met yet and have been frozen in time since you left :p

I don't know how far talks would go.. seeing as how you just leveled my city but I guess there may be room for it or something.

Agreed. Let's keep Father at the helms, and keep the talks in the future, like Kahanistan had assumed with Nadia Sklenova.

I have no problem with Helghan being leader. It's Kraven's choice really SEA.

I know, but then again, Helghan doesn't have anything personal against the Union. He just hates the megalomaniacal sentient AI we all have come to fear and resent.

Yes but that doesn't make him any less evil and power hungry :D

Yes but that doesn't make him any less evil and power hungry :D
Actually, Helghan's meant to be more of an anti-hero rather than a villain. Even though TKC hasn't developed his AI character much, Father would be more fitting IMHO, but then again, as stated earlier on, it's Kraven's choice.

I dispute the number of deaths in your fleet from torpedoes.

I fired over a hundred, and sank just one cruiser?

These are all different types, makes and models. Hell the Shkval goes 200 knots.

A tiny rowboat filled with explosives blew a huge hole the USS Cole, a guided missile destroyer, at least add a few more minor casualties and holes in the side of your ships.

I guess I misread it then. I figured being fired from such makeshift platforms they wouldn't pose so much a threat seeing as how they (the dingie fleet) were intercepted. K, I'll edit the post tomorrow.

Makeshift platforms don't diminish the effectiveness of the torpedo it is launching. Just like the Exocet missile doesn't discriminate between being fired from an Argentinian Makeshift truck platform versus and A-4 Skyhawk.

Besides, it is more like a PT Boat fleet, so dropping a few bombs and strafing it with an aircraft's cannon, which runs out really fast, is kinda like needle in a haystack. You couldn't have taken out that many by dedicating so few planes to the attack.

Alright, but keep in mind my fleet has been steaming away from danger ever since the first naval battle so idk how a bunch of RIBs had so much range. It seems like they just came out of no where.

I thought I was attacking the detachment that was steaming full force toward me. If that is the case then at extreme long ranges I'll accept what you originally put down.

I hate misunderstandings.

^ ye, they just broke off from the main group. Ok at least that is sorted out.

Now who's naval forces are dogging my navy? I'm not going to assault the main armada with only my forces

It. Has. Been. Done. (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=12807020&postcount=105) ORBAT to come later...

Alrighty it's about time :p

Just to let you know on Tuesday I will be flying to Istanbul for 3 weeks. I may or may not have sporadic access to the internet so don't expect any consistent or on the dot posting in that time.

Clarification: SEA is deploying a squadron to defend Groznyj? When does the invasion begin? Not to sound impatient, I just keep hearing of new events in the plans, and I need to know what's happening.

Kraven, I believe I sent you a TG about the war; in general, I need to talk with everyone on Kraven's side, because I think we all need to talk. I'm working on an ORBAT and a post basically saying the Kregaian fleet is on the way; I should have it up tonight.

Finally, I'm away all of July and a teeny bit of the end of June; however, it turns out I probably will have computer/internet access. I most likely won't have time to write long, detailed posts, but I can at least keep things flowing. If your post impacts me in some way, please forgive my slowness. And...I think that's it.

:D:D:D

when I fınally ID your forces what do I call them and who do I declare war on?

Yes Im at my aunt's house ın Istanbul rıght now. If you notıce my I's don't have the dot thıngs :p

Hmm. I was planning on heading straight to SEA...how badly do you guys need the help? Unless you guys really do need it, I hope I could just stick to my original plan.

Well you have to consıder that thıs battle, despıte beıng long as hell rp wıse, ıs only 7.5 hours old. Once Kraven starts postıng the battle wıll come to a rapıd close. Speakıng of whıch, anyone have any word on hım?

The first obstacle is that they are only wearing Hammer and Sickles as they bought old Soviet Surplus Uniforms. No one wears that exact uniform anymore.

If you finally ID them, you'll ID them as the Rapid Reaction Forces of the Republic of the Red Islands. (No relation to Leafanistan except 30% are Leafanistani in descent.) Call them Republicans.

Is Kraven gone again?

guess so..

anyways I found out I am not goıng to Caeserea (Kayseri over here) cuz lıke 5 people stıll lıve ın the vıllage.. Tıll I go to Yalova I wıll have ınternet access here and there.

Is Kraven gone again?

Oh yes. You come to expect it with Kraven. He bides his time and then emerges with a horrible crusade and then disappears again.

uh Hamp.. I have no ıdea what just happened can you explaın please?

Oh yes. You come to expect it with Kraven. He bides his time and then emerges with a horrible crusade and then disappears again.
He has a modem problem last I talked to him, he can't usually stay connected for more than a few minutes at a time.

Sucks for me too because I had plans for an interesting RP too.

Well, I just posted, and with the speed this RP's been moving at, combined with some unfortunatly-timed modem-demon interventions, it shouldn't be a problem, but I feel people should know...

I'm going to be gone this week, and although I'll have periodic internet access, that that I have will probably be limited to once or twice a day at most.

Alright, I'm off!

uh Hamp.. I have no ıdea what just happened can you explaın please?

SEA asked for assistance, so I'm sending several dozen warships to his territorial waters to ostensively ensure the security of the evacuation process.

Yea, same here. I'm using Griffincrest, not the Confederacy.

I believe SEA was firing his ultra-super-mega-reallyawesome-space shotgun missile thingy at the Eternity of Victory, a Pudite Ship. At least that is what he told me via IM.

Yes, but he also aimed one at a Subjugator, i belive

Finally finsihed that godawful post. (I hate it cuz Im tired :P ) Anyhoot I'm planning on leveling the city and everything around it once the evac is over. Or something like that idk.


btw nice vid Kraven I remember that from before.

Excellent, Halberdgardia and Groz. Now, to commence the ORBAT...

Just wanted to clear up some things. The Republic's people aren't all Ichkerians but it's fine if you call them that I'll just assume it's an IC mix up which is totally normal. Also, even though the RoC is about 98% Islamic, it is still a modern secular nation (my best example is Turkey but to those of you that haven't been there I guess that's useless). Walking the streets of Istanbul you'd notice less than half the women wear head scarfs. I guess you could relate it to America if it were predominately Islamic instead of Protestant and even then all (well ok, the overwhelming majority) the people are religious in a moderate way. It's rare for youths to pray 5 times a day, that's ussually what really religious and old people do (old people are religious everywhere in the world 'cuz their at the end of their lives I guess :p ) although everyone knows most of the prayers and how to pray etc etc.

It's a moderate, secular, mostly Islamic nation. Not a shariah arab state :eek:

Ethinicity is mostly Chechen/Circassian/Caucasian and Turkish. There are small amounts of Russians and various European people, the most prominent of them being Germans. Sadly for the mercenaries there aren't as many bars as there would be in a Christian or Atheistic nation, making the booze all the more precious I suppose :p

Edit: I gotta make a factbook one of these days.

I say that for the same reason I sometimes say Czechslovakia, Yugoslavia, Formosa, Gran Colombia, Rhodesia, and Southwest Africa.

Apparently when I was taught Geography, I was in the 19th Century.

Hmm. I'm gonna assume there is like.. 5 hours or so remaining? Next post I'll have a number of ships fleeing the blockade before it's complete, a few brave fool ships trying to running it and get shot up and the rest turning back. Since the aim is to keep the civvies out of harms way the evacuees who can't make it out will have to be sent into the forest to the west or try to make it 20-30 miles north to my assault ships.

Hmmm...

A Pudite blockade may mean a redirecting of targets to Halbergardia... I may send the bulk of my airpower to overwhelm the blockade...


This is all ooc knowledge to you guys btw :p:upyours::p

I object to having my men identified. They are wearing the old Soviet Uniforms with a little skull patch super-glued on. We don't advertise the insignia, and our current battle flag is this:

If anything we look like some sort of Kraven Auxiliary. You should be assuming one of his old slave states.

Even the Republic of the Red Islands has this for a flag:

[OOC: Groznyj, just for the record, I was intending on the bombers to wound the beast, not kill it. There was more than one Ahab missile fired. I'll detail it later in my next post. Besides, I have plans of my own...]

There. That’s them. Sorry folks, got lazy for the last two, but they can be seen on the PIW 3.0. storefront catalogue and the RSIN Corporation 4.0. catalogue. And Kraven, sorry for taking some creative liberties as well, had to think of a name…heh. Anyway, off to bed. PLEASE folks, read my post carefully and put some thought into it…]

From high up in the sky, objects descend…

The second victim to have it’s skull bashed in was one of the forward receiving super dreadnaughts of the Kravenite Navy. Another Subjugator-class crew had failed to notice the now-very-barely-itself missile, once near eleven and a half meters of metal and other components. And now, it was a sizzling hot, one meter odd long projectile, in the post-boost vehicle stage. The missile struck through the tall superstructure of it, slightly off the center, but it still burrowed deep and down, almost above the engine room. Then, a powerful ball of orange was witnessed, damaging those within its vicinity. Flaming-hot metallic shards, of tungsten and nickel-steel, acted like thrown knives from an assassin, punching through several barriers of the softer interior of the ship.

As if one Ahab wasn’t bad enough, another super dreadnaught be receiving two of the samples. It was an older Annihilator-class super dreadnaught, still serving in the Kraven Navy in spite of age, it was still a potent heavy capital warship nevertheless. But it’s venerable days of service were likely going to come to an end. From the heavens, they descended. The first Ahab hit right in between the “A” and “B” turrets, perfectly juxta-positioned in between space, tunneling deep into the hull, very near the bottom. The second Ahab crashed through the bridge, perfectly from the sky straight down, and tunneled into near a key support column, deep below. Both Ahab hypersonic ballista exploded and showered the weaker core of the vessel with swift and gutting metal debris.

Elsewhere, scenes like this were being repeated. However, not all of it was perfectly coordinated. By chance, one Ahab had missed and instead hit a Gorgoroth-class heavy carrier, which, like the Annihilator-class vessels in service, was old, but still useful. It had impaled itself in the bow of the trimaran heavy carrier, unleashing it’s consuming and prickly payload throughout the vessel’s hull. In several of the boats, gaping holes could be seen; tunnels of smoke from flames and other matter had flown up from the punctured surfaces. Sides could be seen with matter clogging the naval paint, distorting parts of it and separating them from other painted sections.

In all, about ten Subjugator-class super dreadnaughts had been hit, four of them having being hit by one single Ahab hypersonic anti-capital warship ballista each, and the other six having been hit by two Ahab hypersonic ballistae each. Three of the Annihilator-class of super-dreadnaughts had been hit by one single Ahab, and only one, the Overlord’s Fury, had two burrowing into it’s vastness. Various carriers, and less heavy battleships, had each been hit by one Ahab missile, eight of them in total. The Subjugator-class flagship of Reichsmarshall Helghan, was not hit however. Why it was not hit would go on to be debated by historians on both sides of the conflict. Perhaps Commodore Marcos and his crew did not know and as a result luck of the draw occurred. Perhaps they knew what vessel she was, just did not wished to take a risk far too great. But whatever reason it did not matter. What did matter was that several super dreadnaughts were hit. A total of thirty were launched from the missile-launching vessels. And of those thirty, two of them had hit targets which were not Kravenite in military service. They were Pudite.

And the final one had descended from the heavens. It was to be the last victim, at least from this strike of missiles. The first skull that was bashed in was of Pudite origin. The last skull that was going to be bashed in was the Honor by Glory. The sister ship of the Vengeance-class heavy carrier Eternity of Victory, which had met it’s end. Now, she too would join her soon-to-be totally submerged brethren at the bottom.

Plunging it’s way into the bow, like the majority of the targeted Kravenite warships (with a large minority of them being hit in the middle of their entire hulls), it had been also too late for interception. In fact, it was also too late for withdrawing. Even if Commodore Marcos had wanted to, he could not have ordered his officers to change the courses of the missile, as it had occurred just when the ceasefire had begun

Creative Liberties?! You haven't even given me a chance to respond to the attacks, I would have had chance to activate my Anti Missile systems, I have specialist vessels designed to protect the fleet from missile attacks!, my Mainland radars, and Orbital satellite arrays would have detected the launches, My Mimir Class Observation Vessels would have picked the launches up long before any of them struck...

Please, don't dictate to me, what vessels have been hit, where they have been hit... please, edit the post, I was going to take losses from your attack as soon as i'd gotten up to speed with the ground forces, that would have gotten done during my hiatus...

He's also ended the ceasefire, and with the Pudite fleet rushing toward the refugee transports, he just signed the death warrants for thousands of innocents.

Attention all Corporatists! Ceasefire is over! Lets get to shooting Chechens!

.....erg..

.....

.....

I'll read SEA's latest posts by tomorrow morning.. this news doesn't sound good. Hell even Izistan told me SEA ended the ceasefire and I didn't even know he was reading this...

Btw for the record the entire rp up to this point has been roughly 6-10 hours.

Sorry...keep in mind I'm a bit new at the game. Dearest apologies. But I'm going overseas, so BRB in three days.

I share some grievances with Kraven. I allowed the total destruction of my first ship, partially because I wanted to illustrate what happens when a ship of mine is mortally stuck, and partially to show that these missiles are actually worth whatever you paid to get them. I mean, I have to take casualties...

However, I'm more inclined in this instance to defend myself properly, and I too would enjoy a chance to launch interceptor missiles, as well as the simpler chaff and CIWS.

It's all well and good if the thing is capable, reasonably, of defeating the countermeasures, but I'd like a chance...

Hey Pudu and Kraven, when you post your ships moving in to blockade don't do it right away. I'm planning on trying to move in the way of your fleets so a chance to respond to the blockade tactic would be appreciated. Though.. Pudu+Kraven, lol the CRN is going to be screwed trying to fight that off :p I have.... anywhere from 250 to 320 ships, I'll have to check my orbat in the first posts and then the +40 or so submarines that survived TF2.

Edit: a major LOL at SEA for ending the ceasefire and making up Kraven's and Pudu's losses. I'm ok with the ending ceasefire: while it does kinda suck ICly and ruin some plans I had OOCly it does make the story more interesting. Now we get to have point blank street gunfights and loads of Mexican standoffs....except...without the Mexicans..... :P

Note we are several hours into the ceasefire so I'm gonna assume that USAN (or was it UFAN?) forces didnt get the memo in time? Anyhoot I'll get up a post.

First of all, yeah, sure. I just said my ships were moving at about 22 knots or something like that, so if you want to move ships in my way, go right ahead.

Secondly, I thought only twenty minutes or so had passed :eek:. I can fix that in my post next time I'm in the IC thread.

ok I finished my post. jeeze finally. basically its what's going on in the city now and the result of Pudu's attack on my evacuating civilians.

Now that I know Leaf will be ID'ed as part of Kraven's army, Griffincrest and Pudu can be ID'ed as themselves right?

Also as for the tiem issue, 20 minutes or a few hours meh. Guess we can just call it 11:30 now?

Im going to Ibiza tommorow morning for a week, so i wont be able to post, and just for the record, that massed missile salvo was directed at all the corporate armadas, and it was helluva big, so dont weasel your way out of lots of explosions :P

Where is Ibiza? it sounds like Turkish city or Greek.


Also I added to my post.

Spain.

Great. Just great. I go away for a few days with a family trip with my mom and my grandma to Xi'an for a bit of R&R. Now this occurs. Never mind, it was in part my fault...but allow me to clarify a few points.

I apologize for my misbehavior, blame my inexperience.
The Ahab strike was supposed to be BEFORE the ceasefire (at least for my strike, just tell me what specifically to iron out and it will be done), not after, so there was a misread.
Again, I also apologize once more for my impertinence, not only for my inexperience, but also for my lack of clarification, and for my rushing to get it done and for my RL matters (like the vacation and some educational issues). Will you lot forgive me?

Ok, SEA, I forgive you, I thought however, that your time studying Nation States II, would have given you better insight, but nevermind, its an easy mistake, and thinking back you haven't had much combat experience since Joint Conglomerates.

Also, I'd like to appologise for my short temper, it had been a long day and the Safety Pressure relife valve blew...

However, I think the game should now be closed to any one else joining as I've just had another TG from somebody that you have invited into the game, I've now lost track of the people who i'm supposed to be fighting, so No More...

or at least, Consult me and the others first before inviting anyone else.

Posts coming up shortly.

To be honest, SEA, you should leave the timing of the attack the way it is, just give us time to respond to the attack and take damage, the broken cease fire gives the RP a fresh new angle and basicaly turns it on its head...

The Kraven Block, upholding the ceasefire agreement, only for it to be broken by an Allied Democratic nation... a little ironic don't you think :)

just an update on my forces, my navy is thus:


16 Nimitz Class carriers
12 Charles De Gaulle Class carriers
12 Montana Class BBs
8 Iowa Class BBs
56 Aleigh Burke Class destroyers
13 Dragon Class destroyers
30 Ticonderoga Class cruisers
29 Seawolf Class attack subs
20 Virginia CLass attack subs
24 surviving Ohio Boomers

Nice post Pudu. Just a nit pick nothing important: the railgun shells are 5" they are 15" but with a sabote but meh w/e. Also where is your other fleet?

It is so beautifully appropriate, this is the second time Chechnya has been screwed by foreign assistance. First was that Godrod fiasco that resulted in the pieces landing on parts of the Chechen Navy, now it is this and the loss of nearly the entire refugee fleet.

And remember, Kraven can say anything he wants ICly in regards to what refugees were doing on his ships. I doubt it, the only refugees he would have on his ships would either be manacled and stacked like timber, or strapped to the sides as a wailing wall to remind anyone that attacks on Kraven were attacks on the populace of Chechnya as a whole.

So Blackhelm? You ready to join the rough and tumble gang of misfits that is the Mafia's Marine Corps? You can join with Private Ant, who will soon find out his entire company was wiped out and he was being reassigned, and Captain Ricardo, a beautiful, yet psychotic woman who will probably try to sleep with your guy or drag him to a harem after this battle ends.

Agreed in all. Once this thread finishes, I'm going to get the SWOCA Index thread up.

After reading the most recent comments on the thread here, I'd just like to double-check that my Peregrine strike is still approved by Kraven and Groznyj. I was also slightly surprised at the ceasefire break due to the misunderstanding of SEA's Ahab strikes, but if we're accepting it as canon, then it'll allow me to keep my post on schedule.

Speaking of my post, I'm currently in the process of writing it, and it's going to be a monster. I've had to establish an entirely new Area 51-like facility in the middle of the western deserts for my Peregrines to be based out of, come up with a backstory for it and the lead pilot and co-pilot of the mission, explaining how in the world these aircraft that look like typical fighters can, in fact, reach altitudes of up to 215 miles and Mach 26...I think it'll make for an interesting read. Plus the fact that I'll get to see how Pudu and Kraven RP the effects of my very hard-hitting precision munitions. :p

:eek:

60 miles is considered outer space IIRC.

eek. lol. yeah you can go ahead with the attack just give me an ooc warning so I know when to post my own air raid since they are supposed to be simultaneous.

reach altitudes of up to 215 miles and Mach 26...I think it'll make for an interesting read. Plus the fact that I'll get to see how Pudu and Kraven RP the effects of my very hard-hitting precision munitions. :p

215 miles is well into the Thermosphere, hell it is around where satellite orbit, you are in VLEO (Very Low Earth Orbit).

As for that Mach 26 number, it seems appropriate. The speed to maintain LEO is ~Mach 25.4 in high altitude. So you've made a spaceship that carries a bomb.

As for this simultaneous air raid, you planned it to be relative to when the ceasefire ended. Now we are on high alert, 6-7 hours early, meaning you should really replan this raid, as you'll be running into Pudite's reinforcement fleet which is now gunning it toward his fleet, and our fighters now airborne to counter the Spizanian fighters.

You know, Groznyj, it doesn't look like I am ever going to face you myself. What a shame.

Lol maybe later. Everydays new you never know :p

Anyhow the battle is in its final stages. To be honest I'm glad it's almost over. What I really want to do is deploy my army and fight some field battles. (rp'ing a single damned division against an enemy 70x larger than you gets irritating after a while lol)

Leaf: I'll write up my reply and the losses I'll be taking to Pudu's response after SEA and Kraven post. SEA and I wrote up a joint dialog and I have to wait for Kraven's advance before posting again.

Almost fellas bear with me. The light..or the hammer in this case.. is visible at the end of the tunnel.

Yeah...I don't wanna damage the RP but I hope you guys wrap it up soon. I leave for ANOTHER week next week, and I wanna start before then...besides, it's been forever since we planned this...I just want it to start at last.

Hey guys, Just letting you know I'm away for a week starting tomorow, at the Wacken open air festival, should have mentioned it earlier but it slipped my mind sorry, then i have a week off afterwards so i shall be posting like crazy!

take care yall and see you in a week!

Prosperity Through Obidience!

Kraven

Hey, I'm going to finish my earlier post, as a new post.

So much stuff has happened since I went away, I need to react to a little of that, as well as the fact that putting it up front will save people the trouble of reading back up through a dozen other posts to find out what happened most recently...

Alright, I'm posting right now.

Groz, I'm approaching completion of my gigantic post, so you may want to draw up your massive-air-raid post and put it up relatively soon. I can cite fluid time to have my attack coincide with your raid if there's a significant time difference between your post and mine. Just to clarify, all the targets that Urmev noted to Kil are still viable, correct? I didn't spot any attacks that had taken out any of those targets since that communique, but if I missed something, feel free to let me know and I'll edit my post accordingly.

Ummm...still a bit recalcitrant. Although our propensity for foreign interventions has been strengthened somewhat by massive defense acquisitions from IPS and Kriegzimmer, as well as Consolidated Arms' work on the Mk. II Peregrine and its (hopefully) forthcoming small-arms set. New fleets, new birds, new guns, new tanks...yeah, DoD is happy. :p

Yes, we're very pro-Leafanistan. Leaf's my homeboy. (Well, after Jesus, anyways. :p)

I take it the Corporates have slapped an ignore on me?

No, just waiting for SEA to edit his post, then i'll be doing all the naval losses at once, plus i've been away for a week lol

Alright people listen up! Some major changes have occured recently. Arterus the continent as we know it is gone. Zuk remade his map and this is what Arterus is now. http://www.maj.com/gallery/Humhum/Stuffen/arterusnao3.png

Thankfully the RP can continue, however at the cost of some geographic changes. As of yet I'm not to sure where to put my colony but it gives me a chance to rework Yeltsmin into a semi more feasible colony :p

Btw Kraven, you're gonna have to work up a new mainland.

That's all.

edit: oh yeah I have some backstory character posts in the works. May or may not go through with them. I want to make the Battle of Yeltsmin into something important rp wise rather than the old pointless NS war we all know and love (well kinda :P )

Fine, I'll go along with it. Though really, I preferred it going across the Indian Ocean instead of it being in the Pacific and southwest of Haven, as I haven't role-played affairs too much across the Indian and I really need to develop Southeast Asian matters on the continent of Africa (though I've technically done it in Terra Recedentia (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=492701), which is based off Africa, it isn't really finished and has more to do with my space base plans (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=493991). And I still would like to recognize real life aspects in the NS world, so I need to have role-played out stuff on the said continent and the ocean it takes to cross). So far, I've had far too many dealings with the Pacific side. I need, for the sake of realism, more dealings on the Indian Ocean side.

But regardless, I can respect Zukariaa's decision. And as for Halberdgardia and Chechnya...yes, I know I need to get that political post up. Hush, it'll be done, don't worry.

SEA, Arterus is now directly south of Haven. Also Zuk explicitly told me he does not want Arterus associated with any real world geography. He says it's meaningless (and he kinda has a point). But anyways get your post up and I'll wait for Kraven to edit the map to show his land so I can get an idea of where Yeltsmin should be.

I know, he's stated this to me over IRC, and I'm aware of the evolving opinion about recognizing RL. But I'm still the type of person that likes to, at least in this current timeline, recognize it for minor practical purposes. But as stated, I can respect those who choose not to recognize RL. Don't worry Chechnya, don't worry...

Really.. you can call me Groz OOcly. :headbang:

No, just waiting for SEA to edit his post, then i'll be doing all the naval losses at once, plus i've been away for a week lol

Speaking of naval losses, I have needed to do a naval post since... forever...

I really don't remember where I left that off, even. I'm not sure if I have role-played the second SEA missile attack, to indicate how behind I am...

From what I understand, SEA's slapped the missile volley down, ending the ceasefire, and damaging my fleet. After that, I launched my own attack against the refugee ships, and threw up some planes. Now there are some Chechen planes up, and Kraven and I are entering into some airborne combat over there as well.

If I was to post, I would have to deal with a volley of missiles, and proceed to begin the airborne combat, am I right?

[OOC: That would be correct. Now, if I can get Groz and Hamp to move faster with their diplomatic conference response posts, and if I can make myself respond and edit my posts...]

hold on there SEA; Pudu, I've been rping the last few posts as having my planes already finsished engaging your fleet (my first wave of planes) and move on to land on Spizanian carriers and conduct CAS ops on the land.

I rp'ed damage taken and if you read my last naval post am committing the fleet to fire at will on yours. Also I'm sending up a second wave sortie.

Maybe a little fluid time mixed in the batch there but hope that clears it up.

edit: SEA, I have given you my answer as to when I will respond to your diplomacy thread. That should be enough.

edit#2: For Lols.. the size of my colony compared to my mainland. (my homeland map is almost finished. From now on this is what my land looks like. [also Yeltsmin is off the east of my mainland])

Anyone wanna give me an update on the overall tactical situation? I thought that Corporatist forces were clearly winning as of some time ago...

Kraven has unleashed his infantry into the city forcing my forces into a fighting retreat. My command is out of commission save one officer who is getting to the front. Mean while as I am being pushed out of the city my land forces are retreating to the Spizanian held airport. My navy is engaging Pudu's and Spiz has a massive navy on the way in 3-4 hours time. Also ZMI is about to open a can of whoopass on the rp very soon.

All right...I just hope it ends soon, no offense to those involved; I'm sure if I were in the battle for Yeltsmin I'd have no problem with it continuing a while, and I don't mean to sound impatient, but I believe it's now the ninth month since I thought the invasion of SEA would start, and this thread has taken an awful long time...

Hey I hear ya. and I agree fully. If only we had been a little more coordinated with Spizania's part in this thread things would have moved a little faster. I'm thinking up the resources, major cities, bases, and geographical choke points that will be very important once I go to war with Kraven.

Yes, I noticed the fleet attack; mentioned that earlier, I think.

With the aircraft thing, that seems to make sense. I'll RP some damage from your first attack, and the attack on my fleet by your ships.

I'll also RP my surviving aircraft preparing to defend the fleet (again).

As for the land situation, I'll probably write something about the attack on the defensive position. Nothing really's changed there, I guess, but I'll write something.

Also, post'd

Groz, is my post even still needed? If not, I can retcon my original offer of assistance and give it to you after Yeltsmin, or I can say something happened to the strike force, I don't know. If you do still want me to make my post, let me know how I should update my targets, since the originals have obviously moved since then. Apologies for the delay.

At this point in time, I think it's fairly safe to say he needs all the help he can get thanks to my lack of clarification OOCly...but no matter. The targets may have changed, but the objective's still the same, Hal.

Lol Hal, it's a little late past the due date but that strike could be used. If you want you can send a message saying your on the way and my Admiral will send a new set of targets. I could use you to finish off Pudu's navy or what not. :p

btw nice post Pudu. I look forward to going to war with you (hopefully) after I'm through with Kraven after this. (that is assuming I don't become a slave state :D)

Hey, thanks. I've been enjoying this war a lot; these are smaller forces than I usually use... anywhere... and RP'ing a hopeless naval battle, or a real struggle through the city, or outnumbered fighters going off to die; that's more fun than three-quarters of a million men storming a city, or a few thousand ships cleaning a sea...

This has been great.

Posted. Btw, the quicker we can get everyone to post (because I've noticed everyone myself included complaining about how long this is taking) quicker the faster this thing will be over.

SEA mentioned that I might engage you guys...does anyone have a problem with that? Cause I'm leaning towards doing so.

I'm going away for a few days soon, so I'll put up another post about the naval/air battle tonight and maybe again tomorrow depending on what happens then.

The situation on the ground, in my sector, should get some attention so we can end it.

Amazing post, btw.

Warmaster:

Well I think the biggest posters we need to wrap this up are Kraven and Spizania. However, since Spiz has a giant fleet bearing down in a few hours your intervention maybe the only reasonable explanation for how my side loses this battle, since, after all it was agreed before hand to be that way.

That said I suggest you speak to Kraven and Spizania before posting. I have no objections if they give you the go.

Pudu:

Thank you. :D

I talked to Spizania, and it appears that ICly his mission is primarily to evacuate citizens of Yeltsmin, which is something the Imperium is perfectly willing to let him do all he wants...and so I can't justify getting involved in Yeltsmin. Sorry for the false alarm. :p

RIGHTO!

So this thread is taking a little too long...like almost a year too long sort of. And the fact that its about a battle that lasts less than 24 hours doesn't make things any better. I know most of us have gone back to school but nevertheless I (and a whole lot of other people I'm thinkin') want to get this thing over with.

Well now... whatever happens this thread is over by THIS WEEKEND. After that it is OVER. I kind of wanted this to be just between me and SEA and Kraven and his buds in the begginning and a whole lot of other people kept coming. I'm not saying anything bad about them but all can agree this rp got unnecessarily bogged down.

Now. Whatever this rp has as use in future rp's and diplomacy has already been set in stone. There isn't too much else that can happen to influence things more so there.

We are wrapping this up people! Keep that in mind and if you plan on getting a good last few posts in... THIS IS THE TIME.


Besides... I need to get invaded sometime or another.. :p

This post is the most beautiful thing I have ever read. I will have it inlaid in gold on the ceiling of every room in my house. God bless you.

In all seriousness, I could not agree more. Let's be done.

Easier said than done. It's much easier to do so when you're back at home, 5000 kilometers back in HK...but I'll do what I can, in spite of the fact I'm in boarding school.

It doesn't answer the root of the problem though: Kraven's inactivity. I don't mean that he's doing something wrong (I'm sure he has an RL reason) but you can only wait so long for him to be done, without any idea of when he'll be back. If this were me that was inactive, you would go ahead without me; Kraven, however, is the center of this storyline, so that brings us back to square one with regards to the invasion of SEA.

Actually I had a chat with him on msn yesterday. He's had problems with work or whatelse. I think it's safe to assume he'll be back from now on though.

Btw SEA: this will be finished by this weekend no matter what. Just keep that in mind.

Edit: warmaster, correct me if I am wrong but are you going to be attacking me as well once the main war starts?

I was under the impression you were sending most of your army to help defend SEA, but that the actual fight was happening there.

OOC: Oh boy, now if only Kraven could come back and make an IC post and we can get this snowball tumbling down the mountain.

You do mean a fireball of awesome death as the ZMI strike wastes a load of Corporate Troops?

So...we're still waiting for Kraven?

Honestly, I STRONGLY suggest going ahead anyway. Groz, you post the thread and I'll get a reply up as best I can; I'm tied up until tomorrow evening unfortunately, but I'll do my best to reply tomorrow if the thread is up. Obviously Kraven should join later, but we've waited A YEAR for this...I am sick of waiting any more.

Um, lol warmaster I already got the main thread up and my first post. I though you knew. Anyway feel perfectly free to post, Yeltsmin no longer needs to be continued if it cant be.

Main Thread Act 1: http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=538925

just to clarify I've decided to split up this rp into 'acts'. This is to make it less confusing and a much easier read. The acts will deal with different timeframes of the war or major campaigns. Act 1 obviously deals with the mobilizations of the main players and the first moves in the war.

Warmaster, just keep in mind that my first post in the thread takes place one week after the fall of Yeltsmin. Also ICly I have no idea that you are committed to trying to conquer me. I kinda want to keep this rp as realistic as possible in NS, that is to say taking into account the tactical and logistical difficulty of naval landings for both attacker and defender and all that other stuff. Anyways post away ;)

Damn you lot, i wont be able to do my last stand against ridiculous odds only to be rescued at the last second by a hail of naval gunfire :(
