The Armentian Army enters the Gulf of Finland with a Navy of 2 Battleships and 5 Frigates armed with 1000 men prepared to fight. The men from age 13-50 are all fit with Machine Guns, Rifles and many arming the many ship-based guns. Many of these men drafted and are on patrol in the Baltic for their first time, others are vetrans with years of experiance under their belts. Whom ever these brave soldiers are, most of there names will go unheard of. As the Fleet grows ever closer to the shorelines they hear a shot ring out in the distance...

Back in Armentius the Emperor Tiberius is doing well, over looking the glorious capital Armentia. He looks farther and see's the great stone walls from centruries ago still standing. Every thing was going great in Armentius, many years of prosperity from the recent sells of its Baskets, Fish and Bread, meanwhile it's military was thriving. All of the citizens where content, except for one. This one was more than a Citizen, he was a diplomatic leader right under Tiberius, his name was Athocoles, he was the Commander of the entire Army and yet, he wanted more.. much.. much... more.

ooc: Hey Armentius, glad to see you here and posting. I have a few suggestions for you, don't take them too harshly.

How are people going to respond? Why will they? What's the background to the situation (perhaps on shore) that they may use to enter the thread? Perhaps Athocoles contacts someone from outside? I think a second post with some of this might make it much more do-able.

Also, unfortunately, 1942 is a rare RP era, so in the long term you may want to choose wither modern or past (past meaning ancient, with bows and arrows and the like) Or you could come join the cool people in the future....

People like to see character development, for which your first post has lots of promise, more than numbers and impersonal.

So far, so good. Good luck!
