Claude de Vilpe stood on top of Battery Hill, the site of the third battle of The Great Paridian War. The Emperors loyal forces took stronghold on this hill, as the heavens turned black against him. The light came not from the sun, but from the fireballs that came from the enemies artillery. For three whole months they were bombarded, until the last man stood. So legend has it, he survived for eternity under the Gods grace. Claude put his history book back into his rucksack, and walked down the southern face of the hill.

Along the quiet country lanes he was walking towards, he saw a puff of black smoke. A shout was heard, deep and bellowing. He thought nothing of it and continued to walk towards the road. Hopping a fence onto the road, he was almost run down by a military jeep, which just continued forwards. A soldier walked up to him and showed him a map, asking him where they were. The map was outdated, but the road was there. "Who are you?"

The soldier looked suprised. "Seventh Army, Sergeant Mather."

"The seventh army is stationed overseas. Where do you come from?" Little did the soldier know that Claude was an expert on the military of Aleard and its history. The soldier looked alerted, and swung the butt of his pistol across the front of Claude. It struck him on the right side of his head, knocking him to the ground unconscious.

Little did Claude know the invasion of Aleard had begun. For years the attack had been known to be coming, and people were beginning to doubt it. However, now it was happening.

The second of November.. The day the dead would speak more than than the living.

OOC: Ill be the invader...

IC: NKVD Agent 302 got back in his jeep, leaving the civilian lying on the ground and studied the map.

"Damn this map..." He thought, "I have to get to the coast."

The spy drove off, leaving the civilian laying on the ground.

SDN-03... Flagship of 3rd Dreadnought Battlegroup

Admiral Perstrovic Trestov was studying the map of the beach, plotting out defenses. He looked up from the map on the desk and at the fleet composition screen. His Superdreadnought and Aircraft Carrier was at the middle of the fleet. Surrounding them were cruisers, destroyers, frigats, transports, and ocean-going tow ships pushing artificial harbors. Underneath him, he knew, were a dozen submarines.

He looked back down at the map of the beach, this was simply one of several beaches the troops would land on. They were the least defended beaches in all of Aleard. Red Tides motive for invasion was simple: Resources and land. Red Tide needed the resources, needed the land. It was all very machiavellian... which at the same time, was very Red Tidean.

He checked his watch... a few more hours, and they would enter range of Aleard's RADARs.
