Czechal-Prussian Empire... The un-organized territory to the north, both completely different in all but one way, they are standing in the way.

The Czechal-Prussian Empire [presumably] was, in its time, a moderately successful enclave for tourists, shipping, and trade. Since then, its government has increasingly been mired in its own bureaucratic non-sense as pirates raid its coastline and bandits have control of the countryside.

Sevaspostol doesn't really try to pretend its not warmongering, some statement about innocents killed, and the usual propaganda no one really believes. The undertone is more of 'his to his own' with the mutual understanding that in this affair, if everyone keeps out, the favor will be returned.

An ultimatum, that if accepted would turn the country over to The Polis in all but word (which would be swift to follow anyhow) is issued. The newly re-organized army is at hand and the same trains that would deposit men to their homes merely add a few miles to deposit them at the border.

A small attempt and keeping the Prussian people happy; hardly any artillery salvoes, blockading of ports, or any of that sort of thing. This is hoped to be a quick war where the yet to be completely sounded out Sevas cavalry will make a run straight for the capital and decapitate any resistance.

[After this wraps up, I will make a puppet government in that unorganized territory, for some interesting diplomacy RP...]

The chess pieces are placed, the time is at hand, let the games begin!

OOC: In case you're going to invade on no response... Annexation of ex-nations has previously only taken place when they have been adjudged officially inactive, rather than temporarily absent.
Might want to check Czechalprus is legit for annexation before taking this any further.
With unclaimed territory, likewise, it's somewhat...ehh...frowned upon, to just go taking it, even if it's RPed. The annexations so far RPed have had specific reasons (coastline for Caxistan, Warsaw, Immyr, Ireland and Jagaro had enough population for more territory, and Anj...ehh, Osteia's a special case).
So, that's not to say this is not allowed...that is not my decision. Just be prepared to back yourself up with argument, and possibly give up on some of what you want (especially unclaimed territory).

IC: More expansion. On a modest scale, by a moderate-sized nation on the verges of Europe, it drew only a weary sigh from the Foreign Office; they did not even consult the Tyrant before issuing a stock response:

Incognitia supports the right of all people to live in peace and order. We also support the right of all people to self-determination.
We do not pretend to know the mind of the Czechalprussian people. Thus initially we support your actions as this will give them the chance to know their own mind.
If they then begin demanding their independence, do not be surprised to see our government supporting peaceful efforts to gain independence.

OOC: I'm not invading just for the land, actually, so if it turns out to be thrown out it's chill. I'm just doing this too keep my interest, well, interested.

I TGed Czech-guy and hopefully he'll respond. I think he isn't participating anymore, I haven't seen him active in so long on these forums, but his laest activity was 17 hours ago. Generally speaking, he is in-active in all but name, likely because no one has really been doing anything out here on the edge of Europe.

Just keeping myself involved is also the reason for trying to get that un-occupied territory; the idea of getting a semi-independent buffer state between me and everybody else just seemed a field ripe for RPing harvest. Per say.

So if Travel starts saying no, well, that's too bad, but I'm really bored...

OOC: I'm active, lets get this started!

OOC: Oops, didn't see you posted.

I'll keep it short and sweet; I dunno if your enjoy the 'Old-Guard' (at least one page of text) style or the faster paced RPing, so I'll just go with the more likely approach.

Bear with me through the tedious lists, just have to get them out there.

1st Infantry-

2nd Infantry-

3rd Infantry-

4th Infantry-
7510

In total, 96.630 men ready to die for a cause which they see as a mandate from God himself; being issued from the Consul Tannenburg is only a slight, insignificant detail.

Basically, Polis forces use a down to Earth, basic, frontal suprise attack. Without the heavy guns for a prolonged siege for any of the towns, it is hoped by just bashing right on through to the capital with Horse and having the ground-pounders take any last die-hards.

Tomsvka is the goal for the first and main thrust, where all but a few of the divisions will be directing against.

Keil will be where portions of Redemption will land on barges, attacking from the coast.

A smaller, more diversion oriented thrust directed towards the somewhat vital town of Bramborska; the 7th and 8th Mounted in conjunction with the 1st Infantry.

OOC: I just made up some town names; I tried to describe them a smidge, you can fill in any details through the cours eof the RP if the need arises.

It's chill, I usually don't post too much except on the weekends anyhow.

The Czechalprussian government decided to take action against the hostile forces and has deployed the majority of it's armed forces. The soldiers have been told they are defending the Motherland and are order not to take one step backwards. "For the Glorious Czechalprussian Empire" is heard at a rally for the troops, soldiers and citizen cheer. The soldiers march to combat morale is high...

Units Deployed:

1st Infantry Division - Wolverines
-5,540
2nd Infantry Division - Badgers
-5,540
3rd Infantry Division - Bears
-5,540
4th Infantry Division - Wolves
-5,540

1st Calvary Division - Cossacks
-2,800
2nd Calvary Division - Iron Riders
-2,800

1st Mechanized Division - Iron Horses
-6,500

1st Air Core Wing Battlefield Observations
-120

The Czechalprussian forces are all ready to die in the defense of their Motherland, they will find hard, they will fight to the death. The Infantry Divisions will do as their where trained in defense tactics. They will fortify the borders and coastline, the Air Core Wing will act as the eye in the sky for the battlefield commanders using photographs and charts of enemy troop positions to calculate battle plans. The Calvary will use the Czechalprussian age old tactic of hiding in forested areas and then charging out to ambush enemy forces. The Mechanized will be deployed to the area of combat where it is need the most. The Czechalprussian navy will do it's best to stop enemy ships but more than that they cannot promise.

Tomsvka, being the main target of the initial thrust, is almost taken as the numerically superior Polis forces easily deal with the Czechal forces, who do have some fortifications erected, but nothing in the quantity which would be needed to even out the odds, per say, completely.

Knowing that a costly, drawn out war, would be very counter-productive than what is trying to be accomplished, a sort of system is established when fighting. That is to always go around, while simply said, it turns out to be very complicated due to the lack of any real infrastructure in this small country; there are not enough roads for any good maneuvers.

Still, the men press on, and while the cavalry turn out to be very susceptible to machine guns, but when there are not any to be seen they eagerly hack apart their Czechal counterparts and Czechal foot troops.

Heavy fighting around the outer edges of Kiel and in the city center itself. The Polis forces were able to quickly establish their dominance at the ports, capture a few craft, and spread out about the city, but not in time for re-inforcements from elsewhere to be rushed into the city center before all road and rail lines were cut. As for right now, Sevastopol does not know too much about the condition of its troops other than that, they are frantically fighting in that urban jungle.

Bramborska, or the thrust towards it, has met the best results. Being slightly more to the north, thus away from the capital (which I just presumed somewhere more to the south and away from Polis territory) and lacking the same importance as the main thrust going right down Czechal-Prussia's throat, fewer resources were allotted its defense. Meaning even now the light artillery attached to the divisions is being used to shell the city.

OOC: Sorry for the delay.
