Informe del Juego Honduran Nicaraguan de la Guerra

Well, Honduras had been conversing with the Fascist Reformed State of Nicaragua, though they had caused the nation's formation. That was why Caleb despised them, their lower intelligence. He knew they had caused Nicaragua to fall, helping it in truth, but they had attempted to take it over. Maybe this is why Caleb hated them, they had.. failed, not because they tried, because he basically had done what they had done, but with one major difference. He succeded in his plannings, molding the surroundings to his whim for the better of the nation, the people, maybe even the world. This was what sparked their war games, his hatred, he wanted to show them he was better, already established that economically, hell militarily Nicaragua had complete dominance over Honduras, pretty much the entire land of Central America.

But the wargame would just serve as soldification of this truth, and so it began. The first movements was that of launching a strike against Honduran armoured assets, these strikes ripping apart twenty-three percent of the Honduran armoured units. This was followed up by a three division 'attack' towards the capitol, but as the day progressed the expected rain blocked much of the Honduran's air reconniscence units, hiding the fact that two of the three divisions had broke off to make contact with the large, yet lightly defended city of Danli, which was taken after losing a forty-three Centurion main battle tanks and three thousand forty-six men. The retreating Honduran forces had felled towards the Nicaraguan border, where they were put into a simulated POW, which made it appear all POW camps to be pleasant.

The first division at Tegucigalpa had halted at the South Eastern border of the city where they dug in, not willing to attack a city which had four times as many troops in it. A fourth division attacked up Juticalpa, the city's garrison had moved to protect the capitol and the city was taken easily. A fifth division was launched towards Choluteca, its garrison had also fallen back to San Lorenzo, to keep Tegucigalpa from being completely flanked, or atleast given fair warning of a Nicaraguan Marine landing.

The garrison at San Lorenzo launched an unexpected attack during the heavy rain of the day, which had grounded both nation's primitive air forces, and fought threw the Fifth division at Choluteca, and hit the rear of the Danli position hard. The attacking Honduran unit had taken most of the San Lorenzo garrison with it, nearly thirty thousand men, and had trapped the two divisions at Danli , along with the retreating Choluteca garrison, of which only seven thousand survived.

The troops at Danli numbered as so, Honduran forces, twenty-six thousand, Nicaraguan forces, twenty-nine thousand. Heavy fighting continued threw out the day, which was still in pouring rain. Both forces were looking for a break in the weath so they could launch their aircraft, but niether reiceved their wish. With this in mind, half of the troops besiegning the capitol moved to take San Lorenzo and the moderatly defended Choluteca. Due to brigade's stalling at Choluteca, the forces besieging Danli retreated back to San Lorenzo, with word that the troops besieging the capitol were far less than expected.

With this in mind, the forty thousand men at the capitol garrison assaulted Danli, of which only twenty-one thousand survived, and the troops at San Lorenzo, of which were nineteen thousand attacked Choluteca's garrison, which was three times less then them in size, and fell back to Danli once again.

Capturing the moment Main Premier Solis launched the division at Juticalpa towards the capitol, which they took with less then one thousand casualties. Leaving two thousand troops to defend the capitol, the main body of troops moved to San Lorenzo. Where the attacker's South West flank was opened and they turned their backs to Danli, a mistake that would be payed for.

Back at the capitol (Tegucigalpa) a division from Comayagua attacked the two thousand men holding the capitol, but due to superior training and equipment on the Nicaraguan's part, they were able to hold them off for the rest of the day, losing almost half their number in the defence.

The forces Besieging Danli looked to San Lorenzo, and launched an attack, leaving the originial garrison of San Lorenzo, now seventeen thousand, to take Danli, which had a remainder of eighteen. Again thanks to superior training the Nicaraguan troops at Danli captured or killed eight thousand of the garrison, causing the rest to flee. With the momentum the fourteen thousand remaining troops attacked the rear of the capitol garrison, which had been prepared for such an event, but not in such a scale, and the Honduran unit, though larger, was squashed withen three hours of fighting, leaving the troops to be decimated.

By the time day had ended there was five thousand troops at Juticalpa, three thousand at Danli, eleven thousand five hundred at the capitol, six thousand at San Lorenzo, and a thousand at Choluteca.

As the second day began it was clear that ground battle were over as the majority of the remaining tanks the Hondurans had to offer had been destroyed either in the battle of the prevoius day or by the initial airstrike. This was to be an air battle from now on.

The initial airstrikes had ended both nation's airforces as they had destroyed each other's runways instead of planes. A continued ground battle would simply lead to more casualties, and the Nicaraguans exptected a surrender by the next day.

In the clear skies two divisions of Honduran armoured divisions and a third infantry division which had been badly beaten in the first day of the conflict had marched towards Juticalpa, thrity-six thousand men forced the unsuspecting Nicaraguan garrison at Juticalpa to retreat to Danli.

As the Honduran units drew closer they split evenly towards Danli and the Capitol, bogging themselves down as the two nation's armour slugged it out, the infantry only there to make sure neither side crossed a line, but it was a strict armour battle that lasted threw the middle of the day.

The length of the battle allowed for the seven thousand troops between San Lorenzo and Choluteca to link up and ram straight threw the middle of the space unguarded between Danli and the capitol. They effectivle split of the Honduran's forces from supply routes, and forced them to surrender. Though the three day wargame wasn't long, more than half of the Nicaraguan troops attacking had 'died' and nearly all the air force base's pave ways had been damaged. The Hondurans suffering similiar pain, though they had lost more men. A large percentage to 'capture'.

Kenneth O. Preston, Sergeant Major of the U.S. Army, had read the detailed report of the Honduras-Nicaragua war games - and was pleased with the results. The U.S. wanted to be allies with one of the most powerful nations in Central America, and despite there rather questionable government type - America was prepared to overlook that protecting the worlds interests - the fight against Communism. As long as no genocide or public massacre took place within the Fascist Reformed State of Nicaragua, the United States would supply these people will weapons and help them further show off there military might.

The United States still had strong morals though - and with there new pro-civil rights leader they wanted to watch the world for fascist countries like Nicaragua - however, the President had made it clear Nicaragua was one they could trust. The U.S. fleet was not only protecting it's assets in the oil and watching Mexico, but watching to make sure this nation was friendlier to it's populous than some Fascist nations had been in the past.

U.S. Message to the State of Nicaragua
We are pleased the war games ended in your favour - though we hope for the meantime these wars only remain 'games'.

Kenneth O. Preston,
Sergeant Major of the U.S. Army

OOC: That was just a brief background on the relations between our two nations - basically, America trusts you and is content with your government - unless you start mass murders and take away the oil.

Respuesta de General Mantigo

Ah thank you. But we must request a few things, of course we will pay for them. We were hopeful that you could supply us with three hundred main battle tanks, hopefully Merkavas or a Leopard 2. In return we'll sell you moderately condition Centurions and the rest of the money needed for the exchange. We assure you that our power in this region of the world is in no small part thanks to you and your government, good friend.

Furthermore, we wish to purchase several ground attack fighters for any further games we have in this region. The nations of these countries sadden us, and you must expect us to atleast try and raise their hopes. Look at Honduras, a pitiful nation with a pitiful leader. We have no problem with the people, but their leaders must be executed, and their nation Annexed. It seems harsh, yes, but look at our nation. Why not reproduce the same results to Honduras, Costa Rica, El Salvador, and Guatemala?
