DNN - Breaking News! Derbarian tanks and infantry have crossed the border, and have begun firing upon the Dashie army! This was an unprovoked act of aggression! Dashie calls on the leaders of all nations to unite and destroy Derbaria for its hostile actions!

The Capital of Derbaria, Seawallistan, has pledged the full destruction of Dashie and a fight to the end.

Coastotopia, Dashie's Long standing ally, has pledged to fight against Derbaria, while The X empire has pledged to demolish both countries. And thus, the battle began.

Rules
Feel free to ask any questions you want, or if you want me to clarify something. Feel free to disagree with something I did or if you want your unit moved or something.
Don't put your units right into combat. You have to RP them getting on a ship and arriving.
Airbases are units that can fight (but not move)
Realistic troop numbers - around 100,000 - 300,000 maybe for regular forces, and split them up into units so that I can map them. Pick a color, any color, and tell me that too. No sending 100,000,000,000 troops or something.
That's physically impossible. I'm going to cap it at 3 - 5 million troops, but that would be a disaster getting all of those troops there. Have alot of trouble + noncombat deaths if piling troops like this.
Don't post the other side's casualties unless it's Derbarian, X empirian, Coastotopian, or Pirates.
No WMD's. (Even IC, both countries would forbid their use)

Sides:
1 Dashie + Coastotopia + Upper Thule + Kanokalordo + Apalatia
2 Derbaria + X Empire + Soviet Aissur + Stoklomolvi + Latvawgo
Neutral: Black Lands, Arctic Empire
3 Pirates (attacks all sides)

----------------------------------------------

Army details:

Dashie: Training = good; Funding = good, Equipment = good
Derbaria: Training = OK; Funding = very good; Equipment = very good
Coastotopia: Training = poor; Funding = OK; Equipment = OK
X empire: Training = poor; Funding = Very good; Equipment = OK
Pirates: Training = horrible; funding = OK; Equipment = poor

Reason to join either side: Dashie has been oppressive to its citizens, and many view Coastotopia as a puppet state.

Derbaria is just as bad, if not worse; but has the support of some of the world's most important countries. It also promises resources to those who help.

Governments:
Dashie: Monarchy
Derbaria: Communist
X Empire: Communist (alliance with Derbaria)
Coastotopia: Parliamentary Democracy


--------------------------------------------------

Current situation: The 21st marine corps has been surrounded by over 100,000 Derbarian men! Seige units are bombarding the unit of 10,000 men daily with mortar, tank, and artillery shells. They are fighting bravely, but being overrun by the sheer force of the Derbarian army.

Meanwhile, Dashie battleships report sighting two Derbarian destroyers off of the coast of Coastotopia. Fighters were sent out, but could find nothing.

Fighting continued over night just east of City 4, with incoming rockets and artillery shells. Suddenly, the Derbarian tanks pushed in in a daring charge, being mowed down by Dashie machine guns, but having strength in numbers. The entire 21st marine squad was overrun for a moment, but regrouped and fought the Derbarian invasion off. The unit, however, is still surrounded.

Dashie: KIA = 624 Wounded = 2,374
Derbarian KIA = 1,002 Wounded = 3,912

Then, a Derbarian Destroyer fired on a Dashie battleship, setting it ablaze. It will likely be lost, and is currently sinking.

Dashie KIA = 154 Wounded = 54
Derbarian KIA = 3 Wounded = 12

Meanwhile, Coastotopia's Armored unit has advanced into Derbaria. An X empire infantry unit is moving toward Coastotopia's second city, City of the Sun. Both armies are poorly trained, and this will likely result in a blood bath.

Air strikes have been limited on both sides because of SAM missile fortifications on the border.

The following new attacks have occured:

The Dashie 1st Armor Unit attacked the 92nd Derbarian Armor unit (w/ artillery) causing them to fall back to another armored unit for protection. This was performed along with airstrikes to drive the enemy forces back.

Dashie KIA: 172 Wounded: 292 MIA: 2
-tanks lost: 5
- stealth bombers lost: 2
- jets lost: 6

Derbarian KIA: 321 Wounded: 272 MIA: 47
- tanks lost: 12
- artillery units lost: 4

Lines have also been established.

The Artic Republics
06-02-2008, 20:08
Concerned with effects of this war upon international trade the Artican Navy has dispatched a naval taskforce to secure civilian ships of all flags. Two Aircraft Carriers and nine destroyers have been sent under the command of Vice Admiral Skarren. He has orders to defend all civilian ships- regardless of nationality. The only exceptions are merchant ships flying a belligerent flag. We will not attack except under these circumstances or if we are attacked or under severe threat of attack- subject to the Vice Admirals judgement.
We would also like a full pretext explanation from Derbaria for this act of agression. The Artic Republics is a primarily naval nation in terms of military force. We have nothing to offer in terms of soldiers, but could provide four air bases, (with security personell and the maximum of aircraft. 2.5 fighters to 1 bomber.) two more destroyers and six submarines. Could we be white? If someone attacks us or if we have cause to attack we will declare for that country's enemies. Our task force will place itself between the Derbarian and Dshie Navies off the island's east coast. Tankers will provide sufficiant fuel for us initially- our allies will provide later- if we're attacked.

The Derbarian Leader expresses his frustration, and gratitude: Dear Arctic Republics. Thank you for your concern against piracy on our land's shores. We must, however, urge you to stop trading with our enemies, Dashie. We also wish that you move your ships out of the way so that the Dashie battleship that we have surrounded cannot get away. They are brutal and oppressive, and will no doubt attack you at the next chance they get. We, on the other hand, would love to accept now only your ships, but also your airports. Feel free to place them at any point across our country.
Our reasons for fighting this war are to stomp the Dashie Kingdom like the cockroaches they are. They, and their puppet state, Coastotopia, have been oppressing us for years and refuse to allow us to practice our religious faith. They are also guilty of murdering our citizens with state sponsored terror. We implore you to join us against this heinous enemy.
We also offer you oil if you decide to take up arms against Dashie, along with a few other payments to us of course.

The leader of Dashie has also sent you a message: To Arctic Republics: We are in a bitter struggle with Derbaria, sparked by their state sponsored terrorist attacks on our capital, as well as other cities. Their aggressive invasion is just a glimpse of what they have been doing for the last decade. Derbaria must be destroyed for all of our sakes. We do, however, applaude your effort to protect merchant ships. Beware of pirates that frequently roam our shores. They are brutal and take no prisoners.

Coastotopia: Dear Arctic Republics: Please respect our sovereignty. We have been fighting pirates for years. Do not cross into our territorial waters or we will be forced to retalliate. 1 Destroyer (out of 2) has left Coastotopia and will protect our borders if necessary.

The X Empire: Dear Arctic Republics: We would like to purchase 1 battleship from you. Name a price and we will accept. We also suggest that you be careful around Coastotopia. They are inhuman slime who murder for fun. Our god will fuel our journey to Pheonix, the Capital of Dashie.

Dashie and Derbaria accept your airbases, but Coastotopia and the X empire have said no because of space issues.

OOC: Feel free to put the airbases where you want on the map yourself. If not, then give me a general idea where you want them and I'll put them on.

Meanwhile, Derbarian Leaders are formulating a plan for "Operation Iron Sword," where they will attempt to push through Dashie units and into Dashie once again with 3 armored units (92nd armored, 81st armored, 10th armored), 1 artillery unit, and 3 infantry (100th infantry div, 1st infantry div, 99th infantry div). Also, Dashie and Derbarian ships are getting nervous with Arctic Republic ships nearby. Both had their fingers on their main guns, not sure to make of this new arrival.

Official Communique

After a vote within Aissur's government we have decided to send the 1st Medical Aid and 1st Carrier group to hold position in International Waters. With Derbaria's acceptance we wish to send in one of our Medical Aid divisions. They will be unarmed and will provide aid to Civilians caught in any battles. We will also provide aid to injured soldiers in the aftermath of the battle. However if our Doctors are harmed we will enter the conflict on the side of Derbaria. We have also chose to fire on any Pirates near our ships. We hope you will accept this.

Derbarian leader to Soviet Aissur: We accept your medical units. When entering, be sure to land on the X empire when coming from the West; or in the Southern part of the landmass when coming from the East. See our intelligence maps to avoid hostile grounds, which are loaded with Pirate / Dashie ships. Good luck to your men.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Derbarian units had pulled back, and 21st marines had escaped, but only for the moment. They had something more sinister coming their way. Little did they know, that the Derbarians would unleash hell on them tommorrow. It was now or never; do or die.

It did not look good for Dashie and Coastotopia. The Soviet Aissurs had all but allied with Derbaria (in their opinion), and there was suspicion in the Kingdom that a huge offensive was going to occur tommorrow against the border. Planes were set on high alert. There was also suspicion that Derbaria would move in on The City of Taurus in order to establish early ground. This was only half true. The real offensive would be just to the East, and it was going to be a bloodbath.
The Arctic Republic's ships were now noticeable from Dashie watchtowers. Their intentions were shakey at best. The days ahead would indeed be testing.

Breaking News in Coastotopia! A plundering band of Barbarian killers have landed near Belle Mer. An armored unit has been sent to counter this threat. Fortunately, they landed in an area populated by few, who no doubt suffered horrific deaths. Coastotopia countered with artillery fire and airstrikes (3 or which were shot down by Derbarian destroyers).

Pirate KIA: 629; Wounded: 1,430; Men remaining (in all 3 Infantry): 10,941

Just remember to let me know when your units are within Mapping range of the landmass. Also, feel free to change your unit's positions on the map yourself (or add them).

I wouldn't say its dogpiling yet. lol. I'm hoping for a supporter soon.

<Message from Derbaria to Stoklomolvi, with Maximum Encryption>

We accept your units and money transfer. Thank you for your generosity, comrade. Our foe is a difficult one. When coming from the West or East, remember to stay to the South to avoid Dashie or Coastotopian ships. We also suggest using the aircraft with care. SAM sites are set up all across the border, even near Coastotopia.

None the less, we shall be victorious!

--------------------------------------------------------------

The following message has been sent to Arctic Republics from Derbaria:

We grow tired of your ships near the border of Dashie, considering that we feel that they should not be there in the first place. Move them at once, as those helping our enemy are our enemy. They may be better suited at the coast of the X empire, or perhaps at the southern coast of our great country, but do not make us move them with force. We trust that you will act accordingly.

[OOC: Glad to see that you aren't angry at me. I must say this thread is really rather interesting. I'll be dark grey. About my men, I'll go in from the east side, using a number of battleships, destroyers, and carriers. And the massive huge merchant marine transports as well :p .]

The Stoklomolvi SMPF (Stoklomolvi Military Police Force) were all aboard huge convoy ships. Alongside them were around 3 battleships, 8 destroyers, 14 destroyer escorts, 58 gunboats and 1 carrier. From the distant sea, several Dashie naval units were spotted, and the Stoklomolvi flag was flown.

"Alright lads, listen up!" Yelled the Squad Leader of Bravo squad. He was of an English descent. How he got to far away from his homeland none knew.
"We are moving out to suppport Derbaria!" He showed a map of the current situation. All around Special Forces and Medical Doctors were getting ready to leave. The Navy was sending near it's entire fleet. It was sending A single Carrier, 2 Large transports, 8 Destroyers, 2 Battleships, 8 Frigates, 6 Submarines and 22 Patrol ships. This would be the first usage of many of the ships. The Special Forces would have access to the T90 and M1A2 Abrams Main Battle Tanks. The BMP-3, Mi - 26 "Halo" and Mi-24. They would have access to many fighters but only if it was discovered Soviet Aissur was participating, or if the Medical Aids were coming under fire. In any of those cases the full military force of Soviet Aissur would be unleashed on the enemies of Derbaria.

Judging piracy as a threat to society the carrier aircraft launched a long-range bombing raid on the pirate battleship. Our lower task force has moved past the Derbarian destroyer and is just off Coastopian territorial waters. In the battleship/bomber battle three planes were lost to the ship's AA- reports on the pirate battleship's damage were uncertain. Meanwhile from his aircraft carrier flagship Orca Vice-Admiral Skarren transmitted a message. To the combatants: As we are not currently involved in the fighting we regret to say that our laws forbid us to sell weapons to belligerents in wars we are not involved in. Our apologies to the X Empire. To Coastotopia we advise you not to get to aggressive over this- we will not attack any ships other than pirate ones- unless we are drawn into taking sides in this war. We will by default be helping you by attacking pirate units on the sea and any land units that attack us. To Dashie and Derbaria- we are primarly concerned with protecting trade and civilians in the local waters- while we request that belligerent ships to stay at a distance from our vessals we remind both that we don't have any warlike feelings against either side.

"Arrrrr!" said Klaus Filch, captain of the pirate battleship. "This is a wonderful day." Suddenly, the Pirate's radar screen went bezerk.

"We have reports of incoming aircraft!" screamed one of the men. The planes were barely within radar range, when the battleship launched multiple SAM missiles. Just at that instant, the "Missile fired" alarm also blared on the ship, showing multiple incoming missiles.

"Shoot them down!" screaming the captain, as the anti-missile guns on the ship fired, shooting some of the missiles down. However, when one of the Arctic Republic missiles dug into the ship center mass, it was all over. A barrage of missiles slammed into the ship, killing multiple members. Water was filling up fast, and they had to get out.

"We've got to abandon ship!" said the captain, who was severely wounded. "Lower the life boats!" Unfortunately, it was too late. The pirates had nowhere to go. It took 5 hours for the ship to sink into the waters of Coastotopia, and only floating debris marked its place.

Pirate KIA: 243 (69 survived)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The pirates on the shore of Coastotopia, however, had no time to mourn their ship. An entire armored unit of Coastotopians rushed them, taking advantage of the pirates' lack of training. One unit panicked and ran back to the edge of the shore. Another dug in, only to be bombarded by artillery shells and air strikes. The final unit was smart, and took defensive positions, picking Coastotopians off as they charged. This held them back for a little while, but it could not stop their advance. When the fighting ceased, the Coastotopians were literally a little more than a half a mile away from their position. With no medical care and severe wounds and burns, the men were dying fast. They have pledged to fight to the end, despite multiple broadcasts urging their surrender.

Pirate KIA: 1,726, Wounded: 3,826 (7218 left in unit)
Coastotopian KIA: 310, Wounded: 1,923 (12,767 left in unit)
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Operation Iron Sword

It was dawn when the Derbarians first launched their massive assault. They all came at once in a blitzkrieg, hammering the marine's positions. The Dashie forces (epecially the marines, who thought that they had escaped) were caught completely off guard. Luckily, however, with the mass amounts of units piling up at once, the charge was not orderly. This was not a fatal mistake, but it caused inefficiency. When the Derbarian units had finally poured over the border, they had killed at least 2 Dashie per every one of their men. This trend, however, did not stick.

The 1st armored unit retalliated on the 82nd Derbarian Armored unit reigning hell on the tired units. They were in an exposed position, and had to get into cover. With a huge gain by the Derbarians, they had also suffered a huge loss. Though they had gained ground, they had paid a huge price. Luckily, the Dashie soldiers had paid just as steep of a price. Airstrikes went on all night between both sides, leading to another war errupting in the skies.

Dashie KIA:
21st marines: 2,539 KIA; Wounded: 4,012 (~3,500 left)
1st armored unit: 387 killed, 54 wounded
12th armored: 150 killed, 75 wounded
Aircraft: 5 stealth bombers lost, 12 jet fighters lost
Total: 3067 killed; 4127 wounded

Derbarian KIA:
82nd armored: 320 dead, 76 wounded
5th infantry div: 2,493 dead, 5205 wounded
Artillery: 17 dead, 12 wounded
26th armored: 312 killed, 54 wounded
Total: 2862 KIA; 5347 wounded

Skarren decided that his force would split in two. One unit, with four destroyers and 1 aircraft carrier would move up towards the Badlands- this would be Taskforce 1. Taskforce 2 (5 destroyers and one aircraft carrier) would move down, skirting Coastotopian waters, in the hope of getting its bombers in range of the pirate destroyer. Before the ships split up he sent a private message of congratulations to the Coastotopians for their assault on the pirate position. Apublic message was then broadcast.
'We are neutral in this conflict- our ships will not attack or work with the vessals or armies or an combatant. We do offer a neutral setting for the Dashie and Derbarian leaders to meet and resolve their differences by diplomacy.'

IC:The Admiral decided that the Nearby pirate destroyer was too close for comfort. He decided to send one Azrael Class battleship and two Kirov Class battlecruisers to dispose of the threat. The pirate ship would soon be in range of the battleship. The Battleship got ready to fire on the ship. The Admiral did not want to show off Aissur's Air Force capabilities just yet.
"Fire!" Yelled a Gunner. 18.1 inch projectiles left the nine 18.1 inch/45 caliber Rail guns. They had a maximum range of 450 km. They also had ten 6.1 inch/62 caliber Advance Gun System or (AGS) has a Secondary weapon. Although they would have to close the range.

"Air Raid!" screamed the Derbarian ship captain as alarms sounded on the Derbarian destroyer. They had just finished exchanging fire with a Dashie aircraft carrier, damaging it moderately. These planes were no doubt a revenge attack.

Derbs manned their stations, as Dashie planes ducked in and out of radar. An early warning pilot radioed in saying that "he had contact," but the radio went to white noise one second later. He was the first casualty of this attack. It was impossible to fire SAMs off now, due to the fact that the Derbarians couldn't get a good lock on any of the incoming aircraft. When the missiles finally locked on, missiles had already been fired one second before. A minigun on the ship sprayed most of the missiles, but one snuck through and nailed an upper deck portion of the ship. Men went flying into the air, and some fell over board.

"Take them down!" ordered the captain on his radio to the men on AA guns. These men fought dilligently, tagging one of the aircraft and sending it spiraling into the ocean. 2 SAM missiles also hit their mark, leading to large explosions in the sky following by a fiery ball zooming into the ocean. Suddenly, a jetfighter swooped linear to the ship and strafed the deck, killing panicked Derbs running for safety. Another one following, blasting the AA guns, killing 4 of the 10 AA gunners.

The battle continued for 2 hours, and the ship survived, but it is heavily damaged and the smoke can be seen from shore.

Derbarian KIA: 46
Wounded: 172

Dashie KIA: 5 (all downed aircraft)

Meanwhile, Coastotopia has been ordered not to fire on the Artic Republic, much to their dismay. Though the Artic Republic had entered their land earlier in the day, another opponent would be fatal.

Pirates have claimed control of the Western most coast of Coastotopia. They vow revenge for the air attack from The Artic Republic, siting their great monetary resources across the world. They also added, "our units are savagely and utterly oblerating Coastotopia. We expect to hold Belle Mer by tommorrow!

Meanwhile, the pirate units that landed on the Coastotopian coast were heavily considering surrender. Artillery was raining on them at every moment of the day, and most of the men were going mentally insane.

OOC: I just realized that I switched East and West on multiple occasions. lol :mad: If anyone sees a dumb mistake on the map, just let me know.
------------------------

IC: The Dashie destroyer knew that fighting the Stoklomolvi juggernaut approaching Derbarian lands would be suicidal. Therefore, it began to move north, hoping that the Stoklomolvi's would give chase and find themselves in a trap. The Derbarian battleship to the South had been firing at the Dashie destroyer all day, but damage was minimal. They knew it was only a matter of time, however, until the Derbarians launched an air attack on their ship.

On the Western Coastal side, the Dashie AF noticed various life rafts in the water. There was no doubt in the minds of the pilots that these were pirates. They did not have the authority to strafe them however. "Even if they get away, the Artic Republic will finish them off anyways." The men who had long terrorized merchant ships had received their karma from ship that was well beyond the range that their weapons could fire.

OOC:Umm is that juggernaut mine by mistake? It's firing on a Pirate Destroyer near the X Empire. My fleet is now near the X Empire.

IC:The troops were now disembarking the Transports. They would make camp near Darcos. Many were hoping Aissur would openly declare war on Dashie, and not just carry out a covert war.

The Special Forces base was nearly fully set up. There was an Airfield at the North part of the base. There was a mess hall in the middle. They would set up the FH-70 155mm Howitzers in the South end once they arrived. It was not known how long it would take until they arrived. As they were coming from the homeland. It could be a month to a year. Some cargo planes landed and BMP-3 tanks began to roll out.

The numerous transports spotted the coast of Dashie in the horizon. Captain Rohm stood on the deck and pulled up the collar of his peacoat. After lighting a cigarette he rounded up his men for a last minute pep talk to boost morale before they meet their most likely deaths.

"It is our mission to fight on this front, not only to protect the citizens of Dashie from Bolshevist tyranny, but to ensure that our National Socialist ideal will last for eternity! Our loyalty to the Führer shall not falter! We shall triumph against the Bolshevist scum or die trying!" He took another drag then tossed the cigarette into the ocean. His salute to the troops was followed by countless simultaneous salutes towards him, toward the leader, and most importantly the fight against Communism.

Land was approaching swiftly as the soldiers gazed toward the gods. Rohm gripped his runic pendant and silently said a prayer while the transports came to a slow halt.

As the troops landed at the shore Rohm made one last cry
"We shall dine with the gods in Valhalla!!!"

The troops are now stationed outside of Lucid Lake, ready to fight for their Fatherland

[OOC: This is a very excellent thread, Dashie! Your map is also fantastic.]

The SMPF finally arrived on the shore, and many were stretching and snapping photographs. When the several hundred commissars disembarked, all of the SMPF quickly went into formation.

"ATTENTION! We are in a combat zone. Derbaria and Dashie are warring each other, and we have arrived to practice your skills. Consider Derbarians allies and the Dashie our foes. Fight with strength and honour. HAIL!"

Every SMPF officer raised their right fist and shook it in the air.

"HAIL!!"

The ships along the coast started travelling northward to clear the ocean for Stoklomolvi mechanised reinforcements, which were scheduled to arrive within one week. Several other battleships and destroyers, 3 BBs and 8 DDs, were travelling across the ocean to Derbaria accompanied by 24 DEs and 5 PT boats. On board the convoy neatly wedged within the formation were several hundred vehicles, all marked with the SMPF insignia. Several other convoys were arriving with other heavy equipment. In the meanwhile, the SMPF were riding in Vodniks and technicals to reach the front line. Their objective was to secure Lucid Lake. However, their first stop was to claim some land for Stoklomolvi; the little "peninsula" jutting into Derbarian territory would make for an excellent forward base/colony.

The coast of Dashie appeared on the horizon. Captain Rohm stepped outside, pulled up the collar of his peacoat and lit a cigarette. He called his men over to give them one last morale boost before they head off into a brutal war. "You are about to serve a holy duty. Not only are we here to fight for the freedom of Dashie from Bolshevist tyranny, but we are also fighting for the preservation of our ideals! May the gods protect us!" He saluted the crowd, where he was saluted by countless raised right arms.

Land approched swiftly as nervous soldiers gave one last hurrah before marching into war. Soon the transports came to a slow halt and the units filed out. Knowing that these days may be his last, he cried out to his men one more time "We shall dine with the gods in Valhalla!!!"

The troops are now stationed outside of Lucid Lake, ready to give their lives in the fight against communism

End of Day 2 report

MAP (http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg193/DashieCamel/warD2-1.jpg)

2 Pirate submarines emerged from international waters, and got as close as they could to the Artic Republic ship that had attacked their friends. The sonar radar showed that the ship was well within view, and each submarine's scopes verified this.

"Ready to fire sir?"
"Fire!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Derbarians on the beach greet the Stoklomolvi army.
"Welcome to Derbaria," says a general who meets you on the heavily fortified beach. "We hear that you are hoping to attack Lucid lake. Beware, however, as that city is heavily fortified. Our infantry unit to the north was forced to retreat and took heavy losses. They will be pleased to recieve your help."
He walked away, puffing a cigar.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just below Vrskavi:

Derbarian soldier one: "We need an airstrike at 0 - 7 - 6 alph-" (ping!)
He fell to the ground from a sniper shot.
Derbarian soldier two: "We've got to pull back to defensive positions in Derbarian territory. The highlands between the airbase and the border will give us a good place to dig in!" He was screaming this and was barely audible, as tank rounds and machine gun fire crackled around him. A man jumped up beside him and fired an H-130 Talon rocket (http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg193/DashieCamel/TalonRPG.jpg) () when a 8.32X51mm bullet ripped through his soldier.
"Medic!!!" another man screaming, as a tank shell landed 30 - 50 feet behind him and sent Derbarian men flying into the air.
It was now night, and tracers and bombs lit up the night sky. Derbarian airstrikes were continuing all night again Dashie forces, but they too were taking heavy losses from SAM sites on the border, of which they were barely in range. A few Dashie fighters were also scrambled, leading to a battle in the air.
For both sides, body parts and bodies were everywhere. The Derbarian infantry was inferior to the protected Armored unit, but still fought a well fought battle. They were, however, running out of H-130's fast, and would need Stoklomolvi assistance as soon as possible.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The X Empire sent units to greet the Soviet Aissur as they ascended the X Empirian beaches. "We pledge full support to your units," says one of the generals.
"It is a shame that you cannot declare war on Dashie, but come, we have other items that need handling."

End of Day Casualties: 6,320 killed, 12,938 wounded for Dashie
7,523 killed for Derbaria; 11,394 wounded
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

X Empirian and Coastotopian tanks had finally come face to face. The land where the battle took place was flat and plain. Therefore, tanks just started blasting eachother in a huge firefight. No one gained any ground, and the units are deadlocked in the stalemate. Both units have settled down for the night, but shelling continues on both sides, along with airstrikes.

X Empirian dead: 320
X Empirian wounded: 701

Coastotopian dead: 392
Coastotopian wounded: 875

16th Marine Division - 14,500 soldiers
5th Marine Division - 16,000 soldiers
98th Airborne Division - 8,000 soldiers, 200 tanks

III Corps
12th Infantry Division - 20,000 soldiers
3rd Infantry Division - 17,000 soldiers
2nd Armored Division - 2,500 tanks, 2,000 soldiers

"Alright! Our nation will probably declare war on Dashie and it's allies but for now it will be a covert war. We will be setting up a base near Feu ame. We may get ready to send a sniper team near Volcan Noir to scout out the defensive emplacements. Also we will need a pretty large port to land some of our larger ships. We just didn't bring foot troops!" The soldier said. There was Four or Five MIG-29 fulcrums circling overhead, making sure there was no Air Threat.





The Battleship decided not to give chase to the Pirate Destroyer. The Captain had a multitude of experience under his belt. He saw many Battleships destroyed by several smaller ships before. He would have to keep an eye on that ship though.

Dear Apalatia,

We accept your help with great grattitude. Dashie is in a struggle not only for its freedom from slavery, but freedom from our past oppressors. We suggest that you arrive at the top of the landmass from either side, due to heavy enemy presence in the southern most portion of the island. We also give you full permission to test your Superdreadnoughts.

Dear Kanokalordo,

we accept your medical help in this time of war. Thank you for offering ships, but the Dashie navy is withstanding at the moment. We may ask for such a favor later, however.

Subject: Operations

Thanks for accepting our offer and due to the increasing of the enemy forces with Debaria and their allies, we might have to increase our troop levels in order to maintain the safety of your nation. We will be landing our III Corps near Lucid Lake and start preparing them for an spearhead assault towards Vrskavi and Fornax. Our II Corps will be prepared for a combined amphibious and airborne assault on Vrskavi. Once we take the city, we will defend the area while the III Corps join them and then strike instantly down towards Fornax and these attacks have to be coordinated precisely so that we can strike fast and quickly and to surprise the enemy. We will also setup temp. airbases near Lucid Lake and start bombing Fornax and Vrsaki before the assault on those cities begin. Before we start this operation, our military leaders will confer with your miltary leaders on these operations to make sure these military operations go correctly as possible. Military operations will commence at when the times are right.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The transports & escorts that housed the III Corps were nearing the north coast of Dashia, and Col. Jeff Hauzer walked into the bridge of the transport he was on. "How long till we reach the coast line and start unloading these men Commodore Zeagan?" asked Col. Hauzer. Commodore Zeagan replied "Oh, give or take two hours before we can get these ships ready to get these troops deployed." "Good," said Col. Hauzer and he walked out of the room to prepare.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The naval fleet sat outside of the range of possible radar stations in Vrskavi. The naval fleet had been transporting the II Corps, where they were preparing for the amphibious assault on the town of Vrskavi and the aircraft carriers were getting in range to launch their bombers and strike the strategic points within the city such as radar stations and military outposts. Operation Hook and Nail was just about to begin and Apalatia was about to put themselves permanently in the war till the end.

OOC: Okay, well I know it might be crappy but I was tired and I will do some extra crap tomorrow and hopefully get some more details. I have only one question right now, is there ports along the coastline near Lucid Lake or am I just dropping troops off onto beaches?

Obergruppenführer Wilhelm Krause sat at his desk located at his camp outside of Lucid Lake. He took a sip of his drink and lit a cigarette. He knew that the expectations back home were high for this war, driven by nationalism and anti-Marxist sentiment. After a deep breath he gazed at the map of the large island and the strategic reports received from Dashie and Coastotopia. After running his fingers down the fresh pleats in his black uniform, he mapped out his plan of action. With limited troops, Krause had to fuel his soldiers with the courageous rhetoric from the leaders back home. He's already overheard soldiers having doubts about this war but luckily a fervent sense of duty prevailed with the majority of troops. He heard word of Apalatia sending plenty of troops, a glimmer of hope we can win this war... This shall commence simultaneous to Apalatia's attack on Vrskavi


[encrypted message to allies]
Krause drew up the plans sending the 13th Infantry and 34th Infantry to aid
the border conflict Southeast of Lucid Lake
13th Infantry Division - 13000 infantry
34th Infantry Division - 8000 infantry

The following units have been sent to launch a swift attack on the airbase outside Vrskavi (to prevent an airstrike on Apalatian forces as they move toward the city)
5th Panzergrenadier Division - 3000 tanks, 1500 infantry
56th Panzergrenadier Division - 500 tanks, 3500 infantry, 100 artillery
67th Panzergrenadier Division - 3500 tanks, 5000 infantry, 150 artillery


The following units shall remain behind to fortify Lucid Lake from possible attack
28th Volunteer Grenadier Division - 2000 infantry (comprised of youth mostly from Upper Thule and New-Swabia)
17th Infantry Division - 15000 infantry

We have suffered damage to one destroyer of Taskforce 2. 34 are dead and 17 injured. This ship will only be operational tomorrow evening, when the casulties will have been evacuated and replaced. In the meantime Taskforce 2 has launched every single bomber it has to annihilate these scum! They are escorted by fighters (though other fighters have remained behind to defend the taskforce) and will do all they can to eliminate this threat to trade. Taskforce one has moved north and has launched a strike at the pirate destroyer. Athird taskforce will enter from the south-west (the side our other taskforces are on) as a response to the increase of pirate units. This taskforce wil consist of two battleships and four destroyers.
Our units also report capturing suvivors from other pirate defeats- they have been taken back to the Federation and will stand trial.
Politically we still call for negotiations to take place on board the Orca mediated by our Foriegn Minister- Dr. Eric Lacquerre. We also ask for the Badlands to give us their view on this war and Coastotopia to provide their opinion on accusations of their being a Dashie puppet. And our thanks for your mature and peaceful reaction to our peacekeeping fleet. We mean none but the pirates harm and guarentee that unless unduely provoked we will not even threaten to attack any Coastotopian. Congratulations on your devastation of pirate coastal positions are also due.

The Artic Republics:

The leaders of Upper Thule have come to a consensus to advise you to change your role in this conflict. We believe that it would be in the republics' best interest if they were to withdraw from the dangerous area or join the growing "anti-communist axis" (if I could slap on a working name) to preserve relations between Dashie and the Artic Republics. On a side note, we too feel that the territory located northwest of Dashie raises a bit of concern, and the revealing of its formal position would be beneficial for both sides in the war. Our Volunteer Division would gladly work alongside the Artic Republics to determine this looming uncertainty, if it not jeopardize its position in the conflict.

Signed in friendship,
SS Obergruppenführer Wilhelm Krause

ooc: we are also interested in the following quote made by Dashie, "Dashie is in a struggle not only for its freedom from slavery, but freedom from our past oppressors" I know that it wasn't directed towards me, but as an ally would I be privy to that information? If not, I'll drop it and inquire about Dashie's political future at a more realistic and appropriate time. By the way, sweet thread. I do have one more question (sorry to be a bother), but is it possible to have climate information be posted if it could change the tide of the war?

With all due respect to the great country of Thule and its brave, dedicated expeditionary force, the three Artican task-forces under Vice-Admiral Skarren are already concerned with securing the waters off this island from piracy. Our efforts are protecting the shipping and trade of all nations- including Thule, Dashie and Coastotopia. We should not dive headlong into what is looking to be a very bloody conflict when it may jeperdise our resources from the fleet's current task- which benefits all. We respect Thule's soldiers, regardless of our worries over its political system, and will protect your non-military shipping along with the non-military shipping of all other nation states. We remain neutral unless attacked by a belligerent. Just to note though, while our press isn't fussed about the other combatants it is coming out in favour of Coastotopia due to that country's action against pirates.
And we're waiting to see the result of our two carrier strikes so you can hardly accuse us of sitting back and doing nothing.

OOC: There's both. Since Lucid Lake is a port city, you could RP units landing at the port. That's fine. At least you didn't switch east and west :p. I had to add the compass mostly for myself and my "mental problems."

OOC: I'll try to get another map up today.

but is it possible to have climate information be posted if it could change the tide of the war?"

OOC: Sure. I was going to do that in the first post, but forgot. I'll also try to do that later today.
Btw, the quote was actually pointing to the fact that Dashie was formed when a civil war errupted between Communists and people opposed to the Communist regime. Communist countries intervened at that time, but the war was a failure and they were driven out (didn't lose, but kind of a cut and run after years of wasting resources). Two sides were formed with two seperate leaders. Coastotopia, Black Lands, and the X Empire were pretty much always there and never under control.

MAP DAY 3 (http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg193/DashieCamel/warD3.jpg)

"Full speed ahead!" Order the Coastotopian ship off the of the coast of Coastotopia. They knew from the attack on the Artic Republics. The AR had blown a Destroyer out of the water, and debris was everywhere. The Captain chuckled, because a seal was sunning itself on the piece of a Pirate ship hull floating aimlessly in the water.

"We have a target lock on the submarine sir!" said one of the men manning the weapons."

"Drop depth charges and fire torpedos!" order the captain. The pirate submarine had also been alerted to the incoming Destroyer. When the first torpedo fired, it dodged it and fired its own torpedo, with just missed the destroyer by inches.

"Hurry up! Fire again!" said the Captain to his men. Unfortunately, such was not necessary. A depth charge bit into the Pirate submarine. Sea water exploded through the hull, sending Pirates rolling across the ship. The Pirate submarine captain attempted to pull away, but the submarine would not comply. It was mortally wounded, and sank to the sea floor below and out of view.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Dashie 21st marine unit was attacked again. Suddenly, a familiar scene occured. The hills errupted in gunfire and explosions. "Fire on that left hill!" screamed a Lt, 5 seconds before an RPK fired bullet ripped through his back sending him to the floor. "Dammit" said Captain Terros, while running from a position that was nearly hit by a tank shell. "They're coming from the Southeast fast and hard. There's thousands of them pouring over the ridge, and tanks Blitzing again. The mines and Anti-personel mines and claymores we set up will hold them back for a little while, but we need to get out of here now!"

The men scrambled backwards and ran for their lives as Derbarian shells and bullets whistled and cracked all around them. Men were falling right next to eachother, and there was not one soldier who didn't have someone else's blood on them. Suddenly, Derbarian planes came from the clouds and strafed them, while Derbarian stealth bombers dropped fire and conventional bombs on their position. Men were on fire everywhere, as were body parts and burning trees. When the marines finally got to a safe location, they had lost over 2,000 men. The unit is pulling back due to heavy damage and extremely low morale.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Dashie army got their revenge, however. The advancing 82nd Derbarian armored division found itself right where the first 1st Dashie armored division wanted it. At one second it was calm and peaceful, and in the next, Derbarian tanks were errupting in brilliant explosions. Gunners on hills and cliffs sprayed mercilessly at the stranding tanks as burning men leaped out and rolled on the ground. It was like shooting fish in a barrel. Within a half hour, the Derbarians were already retreating to a safer location. They got out quicker than the Dashie, so their casualties were less severe. However, this really put a thorn in their side. The 82nd was not invincible, no matter how much they, or their arrogant commander, wanted it to be.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Dashie commanders welcomed the Apalatians with a feast of their favorite course, fresh ooglo fish steaks with roast boar. A Dashie commander stated, "We wish you luck in your pushed towards Vrskavi. Beware, for the city is heavily defended and fortified. Our ships will begin bombing it to soften its defenses."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is precisely what happened. Dashie ships started bombarding Vrskavi at dawn, and receiving counter missile attacks.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Black Lands Report: Pirates stationed off the BlackLands coast. Please send help ASAP!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

A Coastotopian submarine sank a Derbarian battleship, but all three of the submarines are now surrounded.

"Arrrrrrrrrrrrrr!" says one of the pirates. We shall reclaim the seas!"

The men of the 98th had loaded onto transport planes in the wee hours of the night and were para-dropped off to the southeast of Vrskavi. The planes were sent in waves as all the men couldn't be transported by the small amount that could be put on the carriers. The men met slight resistance during the first hours of the paradrop but things got hairy as they started meeting up with
heavier Debarian resistance as they neared the outskirts of the town. The paratroopers' job was to divert attention from the amphibious landings in the north area of Vrskavi.

Casualties: KIA Injured MIA

*The 1st wave(Previously)*

Capt. Waezer stood up in the transport plane as the sound of rounds from AA guns exploded all around the planes. The plane shuddered as shrapnel from the rounds pelted the sides of the plane. Capt. Waezer shouted "Alright, stand up and count off!" All of the men followed the rountine and hooked up to the lines just above them. The light switched to green and the men began to jump out of the plane. Capt. Waezer was one of the last to jump from the plane and with a jerk his parachute deployed. The paratroopers slowly descended to the ground and once on the ground Capt. Waezer got his company together and moved out. Several of the companies had paradropped with light tanks to assist them.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Off the coast of Vrskavi*

The transports, loaded up with the men of the 5th Marine Division, sat in wait and escorted by 30 of the destroyers. The close-range bombers on the aircraft carriers started to make runs against strategic positions in Vrskavi. The guns of the superdreadnought turned in the direction of the city and fired their massive guns at the city. The sound of guns going off were deafening and clouds of smoke could be seen from the transports. The sound of the bombing and shelling of the coastline was moral improvement for the men who had been sitting the transports for a while now. The escorting destroyers also took shots at the coastline but proving less effective as opposed to the shelling from the superdreadnought. The amphibious assault was just moments away from taking place.

The TFT was now in Debarian waters. It was sending transport after transport to the island. They heard of the attack on Vrskavi. That was going to be basecamp for the armoured division. They would not be there in time to save it. However, squadrons of fighters were already en-route. The Battleship and four destroyers was now joined by the second battleship and the other four destroyers. Seven frigates also joined. 20 missleboats were harass the transports. A single Kiev Class light carrier was deploying the fighters. Bombers were being fueled and armed at the nearby base. Ten groups of Speical Forces were about to deploy in the city. They would hold the city or die.




"Heads up!" The squad leader yelled. Parachutes were seen in the air. They quickly sprinted to better postitions. They set up multiple Browning 50. caliber mgs. They prepared to fire. They could hear the thuds from the landing shells. They were trained for this. They just wish they had more time to get ready. Who knows how long the TFT will take to show up? And what about the Regular Army? They only had the BMP-3s here. No match for the heavy tanks. The machine guns began firing at the parachuters.

The 13th Infantry Division, coloquially known as the Death Squad alongside the 34th Infantry Division headed straight forward to aid the armoured Dashian unit valiantly pushing back the Derbarian infantry. The Derbarians, seemingly losing strength now had to fight for their lives as two divisions came on the flank. The Death Squad, known for its brutality, would prove to be a vile enemy. Chosen by the Führer himself, these firecely loyal, sadistic troops were ideal for Upper Thule.

"CHARGE!!!" screamed Commander Herbst as he fired his Luger into the air. The Death Squad, seeking a noble death in battle, eagerly entered the frey, mowing down countless Derbarians caught off guard.

The 34th Division, lead by Commander Himmel, also got a nice slice of the action. He felt sorry for the Communists as they were outnumbered three to one in this bloody skirmish. "Come on men, kill the Reds! For the Reich! Victory is near!" he said, blocking out his feelings with a sense of duty.

The Armoured Dashian unit must've felt a great sigh of relief as the ruthless black uniforms of the Death Squad and the grey uniforms of the 34th charged through the morning fog.

This battle proved to be a great morale boost for the enemies of the Communists, and broadcasts of the events were televised on the state news back home. This easy victory would probably be the last for this army...

Casualties:
13th - 300 K, 490 W, 70 MIA

OOC:I noticed an error on the map. My group of One battleship plus Eight destroyers are on the west instead of east. The group has more ships added. It will be right under the Stoklomolvi fleet.
2 B
8 D
1 AC
20 MB (missleboats, Gunboats doesnt seem to fit it.)
7 F.

A second group of 6 Su will be diagonaly left of the Dashian destroyer near the fleet.

A Soviet Aissuran Brigade of Special Forces is Ten groups. So 1 SF and a F can be placed at Vrskavi. As well as 1 MI. Ten groups is bassically a Assiran Brigade. A brigade usally is 1,000 troops. There are five brigades in a division.

Also, Apalatia, your fleet seems super mega uber huge for a nation like yours. In the Destroyers, from a storefront that has some of the best prices i can find, it would cost 200 billion USD to spend for it. Your Law and Order budget (highest there) is 130.93 billion. Your frigates, 17500 Million. Air Craft carriers, I don't even want to do the Math. I'm not trying to ruin it, just a simple explantion would be nice! And if anyone thinks I can't pay for my fleet, I have records to show my purchases of it. I don't even want to go into ground forces. I bought 5000 FH-70 155mm Howitzers and it cost me 18,211,400,000. (Little less, as I purchased a few other production rights.)

If these pirates want their ships to litter the sea-bed then so be it!
Taskforce 2 (the higher one) is moving up towards the badlands- as soon as it is range then they will hammer that battleship of the Badland coast.
Taskforce 1 (the lower one) will launch a second airstrike at that surviving pirate submarine.
Taskfocre 3, has been delayed and reorganised- we are commiting the maximum available force in the hope of striking a big blow against piracy- take down the ships here and they won't be a problem elsewhere. This taskforce is to appear behind those pirate units in the south west corner. 1 Aircraft carrier, 2 battle ships and three destroyers. Its launched an immediate airstrike the pirate aircraft carrier. It may be removed if we fell we have stabilised the situation.
No airbases can now be sent and no further naval units.
We are asking all naval units to help us deal with these scum. Our losses currently stand at 41 dead and 21 injured, largely thanks to our reliance on the use of our carrier planes. I'm glad I choose to invest in the navy!

If Dashie wishes to tone down the numbers to make it more realistic, it would be alright by me. And I also don't like to purchase from storefronts, I figure if you are your own nation, you should be able to produce your own weapons of war. But the whole Navy thing, I could tone that down a couple of notches.

"Prepare tubes one and two!"

"Prepared sir!" They had the Dashian destroyer in sight. This was their first live war.

"Fire tube one!" A torpedo left the submarine and speeded towards the destroyer.

"Fire tube two!" A second torpedo fired.

"This is sub two, sub one, we are preparing to fire torpedos." A voice crackeled over the radio.

"We are closing the distance." The torpedos could be seen on the radar, they were getting closer and closer.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Three Armor groups and two Infantry prepared to reinforce the Derbian Infantry group that was going up agasin't armor near Vrskavi. If they broke through now, it would be the lowest level of hell for the Special Forces in the city. As they got there, a feeling of dread overcame them. The Debarian Infantry was already destroyed. They prepared to exact revenge.

"Stength Comrades. We will destroy the enemies of our fellow Communists. We will save Vrskavi. And by Stalin we will win." Said the tank leader. He never really liked the long speeches.

[OOC: Sorry for the "long" absence. Also, SMPF means "Stoklomolvi Military Police Force", for those of you not in the know.]

The Military Police continued driving across the country in their Vodniks. When the news arrived that Vrskavi was under attack, the message was continually relayed back until it reached the Stoklomolvi navy, which then messaged the mainland. The mainland responded with a massive task force of 500 battleships, 950 destroyers, 1,250 destroyer escorts, 1,500 gunboats, 25 aircraft carriers, and 1,200 large convoy vessels. All was to be broken off the 10th Naval Patrol and sent towards Vrskavi, where the enemy awaited. However, aboard this task force there were no infantry, but 450 tanks were loaded on the aircraft carriers.

Meanwhile, around 1 million of the SMPF were directed towards Vrskavi to help "liberate" it from the enemy. The rest continued to travel towards the front lines.

News Feed:

The 2nd Dashie Armored Division rolled over Derbarian position II sector Alpha, causing the the 11th Derbarian Infantry to flee. The 11th DI is now at stage critical. Much of this success was attributed to Upper Thule forces, which massacred the Derbarians prior to the fight. A once difficult fight became easy as the Derbarians became overwhelmed and were like fish in a barrel.

The 21st Dash Marines (critical) have been dissolved into the 13th Dash infantry division.

The 54th Derbarian Infantry has taken the penninsula to the north (unguarded, but Dashie marines are moving in to attack)

A Derbarian Destroyer has sank a Dashie Destroyer West of Lupus Ara.

A Derbarian Aircraft Carrier was sank by multiple cruise missile attacks West of Lupus Ara.

The 12th (Dashie) and 26th (Derbarian) Tank divisions went into battle with 202 Dashie dead, and 193 Derbarian dead.

Operation Iron Sword has hit a dead end in the north (East of Taurus), with Coastotopian Infantry fortifying itself, and the 1st Armored division blasting away. Derbarian artillery are hitting Dashie positions.

Multiple units have dug in at Taurus, after being pushed back by the 2nd Derbarian armored division.

A stack of 3 battleships have left Coastotopia.

OOC: Addressing the 300 ships issue; the landmass is actually pretty big, not just a small island. If you were going to do a real world comparison, all of the landmasses combined would probably be at least the size of the US, or greater. As for the money issue; I just assumed the ships weren't state of the art.

The combination of Soviet Aissur and Derbarian torpedos and bombs, combined with Derbarian air attacks left the Dashie destroyer crippled. It sank the next day, with all living members being captured in their lifeboats, possibly by the Soviet Aissur.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Derbarian Leader addressed all allied nations:

We must continue our fight against the Capitalist pigs that threaten our very way of life. Vrskavi is vital, and must not fall to the enemy. Naval attacks by Dashie and Apalatia are occuring every day. We request reinforcements to fortify in the city to prevent land invasions by enemy troops. We also request reinforcement at the northern border to prevent our units from being overrun, as well as reinforcements near Taurus to push further into Dashie.

The pilot of the MIG-29 fulcrum was silently singing to himself the national anthem. He, along with many other pilots, would soon take off and head to attack a Dashian Battleship. Hopefully they could at least Critically damage the battleship with minimal losses. It would have to depend on many variables. If there was other Aircraft around, how many Anti-Air bateries, and if it was even there!

"You excited Comrade?" A fellow pilot asked.

"Yes and no," He replied. He was a Three time Jet Ace. He witnessed the fall of four diffrent dicatators. The new dictator, however, seemed better than all the others combined. He was an actual Communist. He was glad he was helping fellow Comrades, but that fleet at the North scared him. He never heard of such a vast fleet.

"What?" Replied the inexperinced Pilot. He wasn't an Ace, never flown in a Combat Theater. He was number Two in his training however.

"I am exicted to serve our Nation and fellow Communists, I am not excited about attacking a Battleship."

The buzzer sounded and the First Wave pilots got up. They would take off and check that the Battleship was there. If it was the Second Wave, which would be already En-route, would speed up to attacking speed. If Aircraft was seen, they would speed up and engage. The Third Wave would get there twice as fast. This Pilot was in The Third Wave.

"Courage Comrades." He said.

The Dashie battleship was on its own. Being far into enemy territory, it had no help from other air defenses. It had already been attacked multiple times by Derbarian aircraft, and its defenses were crippled. Another attack was inevitable, possibly by the Soviet Aissur. They could do nothing other than wait to die with the few air defenses that they had left.
Soviet Aissur
10-02-2008, 04:04
The Pilots took off from the Carrier. Many Pilots had pictures of their familiy or their women back home. The oldest pilot was 40 Years old. The youngest was 17.

"Speed up to close the distance. If no Aircraft present, aim for the Anti-Air Batteries. If it is gone, we will split into groups and look around. Good Luck!" The squadron leader said over the radio.

The Pilot saw the battleship. He did not see any Aircraft.

"This is Mig 3, battleship in sight, no Aircraft spotted. Wave Two accelerate to Attack speed, this is what we are trained for." Said the Pilot excitedly. He squeezed the trigger and fired his 30mm cannons. Aces would allowed to work on their planes. To a certain degree. The normal MIG-29 Fulcrum and a single 30mm cannon with 150 rounds. He had three with a total ammo of 450 rounds. The other MIGs began firing also. A MIG fired a missle.

10-02-2008, 04:08
15 men on the deck were strafed by the 30mm cannons, and the MiG missile landed centermass of the Battleship. Debris flew from the top of the ship and landed in the water. Dashie sailors ran to their AA positions trying to avoid enemy aircraft fire, as well the men inside the ship aiming weapons such as the ship's minigun at its first target. It was a lock, and the sailor pulled the trigger.

"For Soviet Ai..arrgghh." A pilot began to say. Multiple bullets pierced his cockpit as he flew closer. Blood splattered onto the window as many bullets hit him. He threw the throttle all the way up and angled to crash into the ship. He squezzed the trigger. The plane's 30mm cannon roared to life. It quit when the plane exploded. The plane was about to hit the carrier when it exploded.

The Second Wave roared into the scene. They began dropping their bombs and firing missles. The Third Wave also arrived. They circled above watching for Fighters.

10-02-2008, 04:20
The plane ripped into the battleship, killing 20 and placing a huge, fiery hole on the outside. The control room was nearly hit but uneffected. However, the minigun was taken out. It was up to the other men on the ship to take as many with them with the AA guns as they could. Sailors also brought out stinger missiles, raised them into the air, and fired at as many SA planes as they could. It was not if they could fight the attack off. It was now about pride: How many they could kill before the Battleship sank to the depths below. The SA second wave was now incoming. The Dashie men knew that the end was near.

The pilot dropped Two bombs as he flew. He turned around and fired a missle. This was war. All of a sudden a red light turned on. He quickly turned and dropped flares. The missle nearly hit him. One plane, however, was hit. A parachute was seen.

"This is Mig One, we have survivors here. Dispatch some rescue ships!"

There was very little activity on the smoldering battleship left. The Soviet Aissurs' second wave had laid it to rest. The occasional SAM missile was fired, but nothing else. 5 hours later, the ship went down into the deep with only debris and aircraft parts floating on the ocean surface. There were no survivors.

Meanwhile, the first group of SMPF had reached the Dashie encroachment into Derbarian territory. Apparently a scout had spotted armour divisions approaching, and as such the SMPF started scattering across the countryside and taking positions in bushes, trees, behind hillocks, and other light cover. Armed with RPG-29 Vampirs, the SMPF awaited for the armour to approach before firing. Other SMPF regiments were travelling as fast as they could to the front in their Vodniks, though it could be several days before they would even near the front.

Back at the original landing point, hundreds of tanks and heavy equipment were being dropped off for the 1 million or so remaining SMPF that lagged behind. Alongside the tanks would be Vodniks loaded with fuel and maintenance equipment. However, to maintain safety one Vodnik would only hold one barrel of fuel and three boxes of equipment.

Aircraft was already enroute to the Stoklomolvi position of advancement. Their advancing men had been spotted by aircraft, who only simply said, "The Hills are moving!" They had taken off from South of Lucid Lake. The force consisted of 15 stealth bombers (Class-30 Crescents with B-X (basically accelerated burning and more spreadable napalm) bombs loaded), 24 jet fighters, 5 AC-130 gunships, 18 helicopters (Tiburon RT-50's; chopper is similar to the Cobra in design, but modernized). Suddenly, the target came within view.

"Hit them hard boys!"

The attack would be brief, as this was only a simple assault.

The T-90 battle tanks were thirty miles away from the city. BMP-3s were close behind. The BMPs were loaded with Soviet Aissur's best soldiers. There was a great roar as the tanks pushed onwards. Hinds flew overhead. The BMPs passed the T-90s. They would be there within the hour. The soldiers mentally prepared themself for the attack. An amoured car passed by. The car came to a halt behind a Stoklomolvian soldier who seems to be in charge.

"Our tanks are near the city comrade! One of our Aircraft picked up multiple bombers and fighters en-route to our postition. Expect a hard bombing!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The last MIG landed on the carrier. They had attacked with twenty MIGs. Four had been destroyed. Three confirmed dead and One MIA.

The Pilot climbed on the life raft that he carried in his pilot bag. His left arm was soaked in blood. It could be hours until any help arrived. If it even did arrive.

Krause had to act fast. With a gigantic Stomklomovian surge of troops pressing forward, reinforcements were needed. Three Panzergrenadier units began their march toward the conflict. The Sturmpanzer tanks were the pride of the Thulic Army [ooc: if you're curious as to what they look like, they are just a modernized version of the A7V Panzer used in WWI].

Big giants of metal adorned with the Black Heart of Upper Thule on its sides and a skull and crossbones on the front drove down the terrain with halftracks full of infantry to come to the Sturmpanzers' aid. Great metal stakes had been welded to the top of most of the tanks, in which the Thulic soldiers impaled the heads and bodies and other parts of the dispatched Communists that were slaughtered by the 13th and 34th infantry divisions. This sadistic war ritual had been passed down from ancient times to strike fear into the enemy and display the ruthlessness of the Thulic people in war.

"I wonder what those Bolsheviks will think now once they realize the only red they'll be seeing is that of their comrades! hahaha" one crazed tank captain said as he wiped some blood on his face. In the distance he could see the Dashian Armoured units poised for war. The battle ahead was going to be bloody... just as the captain liked it

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the meantime the units that remained outside of Lucid Lake had set up camp and began their long march to participate against Operation Iron Sword. The Volunteer Grenadiers are to garrison in Phoenix in case the Derbarians broke through the Dashian troops. The other unit is to join the 1st and 21st Dashie units to repel the Communist onslaught. The volunteer youth were a bit nervous to hear why they must be defenders of a city, but the courageous 25 year-old leader of the unit gave this inspiring speech:

"It is our divine mission to protect Dashie from Bolshevist tyranny! We too have survived a war many moons ago between the blacks and the reds. We all recall the stories our grandfathers told about their struggle for freedom so that we could be here today. We must continue on the fight to crush the communists, and if we must, die fighting them. We are taking on this fight not only for us, but our fallen heroes of the past, and our heroic children of the future!

Several "Vertical Take Off and Landing" aircraft flew as fast as they could towards the front.

______________________

At the front, the stealth bombers were wreaking havoc on the SMPF. Over 200,000 deaths were reported already from the napalm, and 100,000 were wounded. The wounded were quickly dragged away, though the SMPF just kept pouring through with guns blaring and heavy weapons firing. On nearly every hill, several heavy machine guns were firing on the front lines. Behind every nook and cranny was an officer firing an RPG-29. In the back, light mechanised support had arrived in the form of Vodniks and small buggies. A few thousand SMPF were sent to drive through the burning napalm in their buggies while wearing protective suits to fire on the enemy as much as possible before driving around the napalm and heading back to the bulk of the army.

Meanwhile, at the port the thousands of Stoklomolvi ships had arrived, firing missiles and guns at every enemy ship in sight. Cruise missiles were launched at enemy land positions behind the front lines, and bomblets were launched at known positions in the city itself.

The effects of the Stokomolvi attacks were immeditate. Severals ships were set ablaze from the cruise missiles, while others shot the missiles down before they struck their targets.

The 3rd and 2nd armored divisions were also having trouble. RPGs and bullets were nailing tanks everywhere, and it was complete havoc. Over 6,000 were presumed dead so far, when the commander of the 3rd armored division pulled back. The 2nd armored division was more stubborn, however, and wanted to stay and fight. Reality soon set in, however, when his men were being swallowed up by the massive explosions from Stokomolvi weaponry. They do had to pull back during the ambush to a safer location, and decided to let aircraft once again drop some more napalm.

Unfortunately, 6 of the 15 stealth bombers, all 23 of the 24 jet fighters which moved in for close attacks, and were shot down as a consequence), 3 of the AC-130 gunships, and all 18 Tiburons were shot down in the huge battle that ensued. A quick strike it was not.

The Special Forces had their rtime to ist around in bases. Now they were heading to the middle to help break through. They had the help of the Engineers division and their artillery. They began to march towards the middle. They would be there at the end of the day. The bombers from the Air Base were close to bomb several Dashian positions.
--------------------------------------------------
At Vrskavi the tanks were bogged down, but then, a great sound emerged aboce all, out of the back of tanks and BMPs emerged the soldiers. They jumped out and charged the city. They yelled a great battlecry as they charged. The Hinds got there at that moment. They fired rockets and cannons at the city. The Special Forces in the city was overrun and were presumed dead. There was no radio contact from ether the Special Forces or Mechanized Infrantry. Out of the Mi-35s rappeled down The Royal Guard troops. All of the tanks began to fire at the city.

SMPF officers were falling everywhere in the ensuing fire fight. With bullets flying everywhere and the heavy support still lagging behind, the SMPF were having trouble fighting the Dashie forces. However, the officers continued to press forward, though thousands more were already dead and tens of thousands more wounded. A camp was established in the foothills for some rest and recuperation. At Port Vrskavi, the situation was dire. Many of the old destroyers and battleships had malfunctioned, causing the missiles to be caught in the tubes and detonating, destroying dozens and scores of ships. However still, there were hundreds of ships left, and the convoy was driving a hole through to the port city. The convoy, defended by many minigun emplacements on each ship, was going to land brainwashed and armed convicts on the shore, where they would most likely be killed though attention would be drawn. On the way, the convoys were being hit by literally tonnes of munitions that detonated hundreds of ships.

The SMPF fared worse and worse. Morale was dropping, and ammunition was running low. The supply Vodniks were still over one hundred miles away, and the attack would clearly last more than three hours. SMPF infantry started tossing rocks and sticks at the enemy once they ran out of ammunition, and machine gun teams were running back to the camp. This was a fight that they were likely not going to win. Logistics problems were rampant.

"Courage comrades!"

Yelled an Officer. Two other Mi-26 helicopters landed with fuel and ammo. Soldiers dragged some of the casulties off the battlefield. A soldier knelt down with another and fired an anti-tank rocket.

"When will the Planes arrive?" A soldier asked.

Just then a plane roared over and dropped two bombs on a postition.

It was an operation kept secret: Even from their own allies. Only the Coastotopians knew so that one of their infantry units could participate in the fight. It was more than an attack. It was a message that Dashie was not afraid to take casualties. It was known that casualties would at least be 2:1, but this was a price all were willing to pay. It was also known that since all Derbarian advancing units were on offense, none were dug in. This attack would be most surprising.

It was 9:50pm, when all Dashie men lay still in the grass. Tanks were parked, and all was quiet amongst infantry units. Suddenly, there was a universal broadcast ont he radio, "Operation Blue Lightning is a go!" The Derbarians had intercepted radio messages about this operation before, but did not know that it was a huge offensive.

The 1st armored unit did not lead the charge this time. It was too damaged, but had proven itself with its prior battles. It would move in after the initial wave and take on Derbarians 6 hours into the battle.

The 5th Derbarian infantry was taken totally by surprise. The 31st armored unit roared over the hill and blasted at them, taking heavy casualties themselves due to the nature of the attack. Dashie men were falling left and right, but the Derbarians felt overwhelmed. Not to mention the fact that two Dashie units left Taurus and charged, losing half of their men but pushing the enemy back.

"We're being overrun!" A Derbarian Colonely yelled into his radio. He have to get back!" A multitude of air attacks with Napalm also charred the Derbarian units who were desperately trying toold their gorund. It was no use, however, as man after man was either cooked by airstrikes, shot, or nailed by a tank shell.

Projected Casualties: Dashie KIA: 8992, Wounded: 15002

We are conducting airstrikes and shooting plane after plane out of the sky, and using BX napalm ourselves, but this is not stopping the enemy charge. Please hurry! There is little time. Dashie is regaining ground that we have taken, and may soon enter our country in the middle if reinforcements are not received. There is little time!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Men on the battlefield vs. Stokmolovi.

"WTF was that?" as an object flew by.

"I don't know sir!" said another man.

"They're throwing rocks at us? What do we do?"

Just as he said that, a huge stone nailed him in the face and sent him to the floor.

"MEN! FORMATION!"

SMPF officers, previously camping around, quickly got up and ready, leaving random equipment behind. Orders were relayed about, and soon over one million SMPF officers were once more ready with whatever they had in their hands; rocks, guns, sticks, crude bows, etc. It was all or nothing. They had earlier received a message from Derbaria about the centre being overrun, and they needed to work fast. Apparently the backwards units were lagging, and their armour support would only arrive in time to save Vrskavi. It was all or nothing.

"CHARGE!!!"

Every officer that could fight relayed messages to one another. However, there was no real system of communication, and the attack was delayed for a few minutes after the sun set. Without light, it was chaotic. The napalm had burned out a short while earlier after burning up everything there was to burn, but ashes remained, and the charging officers kicked up dust everywhere. Snipers could not see through the smoke and had to wait for targets to actually appear. Red and black hats were flying about. Heavy machine guns, having received some supplies from the Vodniks, fired into the enemy lines. Vodniks with mounted machine guns drove into the enemy, firing at will. There was no sense of organisation whatsoever; it was just massing and charging.

The backwards units, much more organised and trained, were driving in files towards the front. Armour units were driving as fast and far as they could, and with the extra fuel loaded onto the Vodniks they could drive as far as the Dashie city of Lucid Lake. Back at sea, orders were being relayed back and forth from the mainland. The grand strategists were debating on whether or not to make an amphibious assault on Lucid Lake; in doing so, the city would most definitely be secured. However, the Commissar decided not to do this; instead, they would drop infantry into the city.

Three aircraft carriers, escorted by a dozen battleships and fifteen destroyers, would sail to around 300 km away from Lucid Lake. After all preparations were made, aircraft were due to take off and execute HALO drops into Dashie territory to secure the city.

[ooc: sorry i haven't been on in a bit, i've been mad sick and busy with school, but i figured why not contribute to the international incidents thread while i'm in an international relations lecture]

The Communist onslaught was proving a large challenge for the Thulic divisions. Not even their political indoctrination could keep up the morale of the battered units. Despite the drop in morale, the hatred towards the Communists burned greater and greater. The Thulic soldiers cringed in hatred as the Reds sang their glorious war songs dedicated against the struggle against capitalism.

"BOLSCHEWISMUS MUSS STERBEN!!!" cried a Sturmpanzer captain as he was shot in the shoulder.

The Dashian attack did provide a saving grace for the Thulic troops. With a quarter of the Panzergrenadiers knocked out, it was time to step up their game.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, the other units continued their way to their new positions. The Volunteer Unit was close to Phoenix, ready to serve as a final defence in the event of a red victory in operation Iron Sword. The Infantry unit continued its march to aid the Dashian 1st Armoured Unit in order to stop the Communists pouring further into the Dashian border

OOC:Could you place like a distance key on the map? I'm not sure how large the land is.

IC:Orders were being relayed from high command and the Special Forces. They were ordered to head the the middle front. Vrskavi would be secured by the Armor. The Special Forces would flank the Armor near the Debarian 26th armor.
---------------------------------------------------------
The two Battlecruisers and one Battleship at the south end of the Island would head to take out the Pirate foothold on Debaria. The Air Base near Darcos would soon be sending out bombers and fighters to make a early attack.
----------------------------------------------------------
At Vrskavi the Armor was still trying to break into the city. There was firefights almost hourly. Engineers were landed at the Western side of the island. They would march to a position near Vrskavi and set up the FH-70 155mm Howitzers that just arrived. The M270 MLRSs had also arrived and were close to the city. The city would soon be in range.

"Man I can't wait to fire those howitzers. May God have mercy on those soldiers in the city." A soldier said with a laugh.

Jennifer Palin, recently elected President of Latvawgo, saw the ongoing developments in some country far, far away.

"Darboria is it?"

"something like that", said one of her advisors. "General Pummel has suggested we get involved. the military is getting bored. it has been, what... a week since our last war."

"good idea!" said Jennifer, rather tipsy. "let's support this darboria place against all those evil oppressors and pledge, ooh... some token force which shows support but doesn't get us too involved... erm... 5 soldiers. with 1 tank." The advisor looked sceptical. "Oh, alright, 500. But war bores me. I'll leave them under the direct command of that darboria place. Hey, they can keep them! how's that?"

The advisor left the room and began typing out a message to "that darboria place". He paused and mused. The overthrow of a psychotic leader and the installation of democracy is meant to be a good thing. Strange how this democratic leader was just as, if not more, psychotic...

OOC: Hi Latvawgo. Excellent post. You are planning to RP Derbaria controlling your forces, right? Or are you just contributing men to the Derbarian army and shipping them to the continent? (Either is fine)

OOC: OOC:Could you place like a distance key on the map? I'm not sure how large the land is.

OOC: Negative. That's more of a technicality, and I wouldn't want people getting into "wtf? your forces went 100 miles that quick?" conflicts. If you want a fair estimate of distance, just imagine that Derbarian is probably the length of the US. I believe that the US 3,000 miles or so across (correct?) from East to West; so traveling 1/3 across the country would be 1000 miles, etc. I've been trying to go by the scale, but loosely, considering that this RP really doesn't have a set time line, and distances are rough distances. You are free to RP a distance, and I'll place your units as close to that distance as possible.

OOC: lol - that should be interesting. There's a whole phalanx of ships up there, so this might be a bloodbath; also considering the airport near Lucid Lake. Do you mean that some of your ships left the unit east of Derbaria and are going North, or is this a completely new group of units? [/quote]

"Long live the Soviet Motherland..." The National Anthem was playing as prisoners would soon be executed. They had just been tried for War Crimes.
"Fire!" Shots rang out and bullets tore in the Pirate Prisoners. The Pilot Ace was transfered to the Air Base from the Air Craft carrier. He looked away as the prisoners were executed.

"Erik, we have an assignment." Said a pilot to the Ace.

"We are striking at Pirates at the coast. When we come back the Air Base is moving to have the Middle Front in range." Erik got inside his B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber. He also got a job change as he was transfered. How this would play out was anyone's guess.

The bombers took off and headed towards the Pirate position.

RE:Lucid Presentation

We belive the presentation will be highly informative. Therefore we are sending our Third in command military Commander. We are also sending guards and an evac squad but that is just a precautionary. We are also sending in the First Engineers Corp that is a mix of Engineers and Artillery. They will bombard Vrskavi until the city is taken. We will then bombard the enemies at the Central Front and send our Armor to assist in breaking through. Our Special Forces teams are currently at the front attacking the Dashian Amour near the 26th.

The Conference began in a conference room of a secret bunkers. Various high ranking Derbarian Generals were present, but not the leader.

"Greetings Gentleman," said General Schloots. He was real old fashioned, insisted on pressed and ironed clothes, and was a stickler for correct uniforms and proper etiquette. "We have conducted various espionage operations, and have come to these conclusions, with the impending Stokmolovi raid on Lucid Lake."

http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg193/DashieCamel/LL.jpg

Shown on the above screen is a rough outline of Lucid Lake. Notice the Anti-Aircraft positions at all corners. We cannot get around these, and we can only attempt to bomb them. Encourage your airmen, and do not give them a clue of how heavy air casualties will be. SAM missile sites are everywhere. We recommend a massive force of aircraft.

http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg193/DashieCamel/LLsuggest.jpg

The following are zones where you may consider landing paratroopers. Red is a "NO ZONE," meaning that any men landing there will be slaughtered due to heavy wall fortifications on the outside of Lucid Lake. Therefore, our advisors have come to the conclusions that the only feasible landing zones are either outside the city far enough where they cannot shoot at us initially, or right on top of the command center in the middle of the city. There are no AA guns in the center, but to get aircraft there will be difficult. Parachuting men will recieve heavy fire while dropping, but once they reach the ground, resistance will be typical.

http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg193/DashieCamel/LLforcesconverge.jpg

Attack sites: Do NOT come from the South. Heavy weapons are especially prevalent there, as that is the main entrance to the city. With bombers, we can take that out, but that is in the line of sight of two AA groups; also meaning heavy projected casualties. Artillery is also heavily centered on the South.


http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg193/DashieCamel/Zoomd6.jpg

Now, Gentleman, this is the center of the war zone lines between Dashie and Derbaria. We need all of the help we can get there. We thank Soviet Aissurs for his Special Forces Task Forces joining us in combat, but we need more. They have already taken much ground.

http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg193/DashieCamel/Vrskavi-zoom.jpg

And finally, for other purposes; our drawing of the assault on Vrskavi. We will be joining you within the next coming days. Our armor unit as well as our infantry unit are regrouping but should be ready. We also have units inside the city fighting and hiding; as well as giving us info. However, Apalatian paratroopers have been searching door to door of what's left of the city daily.

(Clicks projector off). Thank you gentlemen. This meeting is dismissed.

"They're coming! We've spotted them!" said an X Empirian soldier in his native language. The roar of Coastotopian tanks was not only heard, but also felt. Stones on the ground were shaking. Men were shaking. This was one of the better trained X empirian units, but the men still had fleeing in the back of their minds.

Suddenly, the Coastotopian tanks fell into their trap: they were right where they wanted them. The infantry fired multiple H-130 rockets (http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg193/DashieCamel/TalonRPG.jpg) scoring fatal hits with some. The Coastotopians fired back, killing many of X Empirians who were on weapons emplacements. X Empirians also aimed for Tank Commanders, and disabled many of the tanks.

This attack was combined with an X Empirian Armored Assault, which lead to a massive gain of ground, and a large retreat to the border by Coastotopians.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dashie armored units were running to higher ground, away from the Stoklomolvi police forces. The retreat was swift, and the Dashie units had speed on their side. Any tanks that broke down were left behind to fend for themselves. The retreat was also covered by more bombing runs, especially with BX napalm, which lead to a friendly fire incident on an Upper Thule unit.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Message to Upper Thule: We apologize for the friendly fire incident. The pilot has been punished, and we offer you $10,000,000 and our condolences.

The napalm, which was used on the SMPF before, was not quite as effective as the previous blast. Still though, in comparison to the total casualties of everyone else, the end results were staggering. Almost 100,000 SMPF officers had burned to death, with over 100,000 more wounded. However, 60,000 additional casualties were caused by conventional explosives. The SMPF charged across in their Vodniks and by foot, blasting everything in sight.

Back in Upper Thule an argument errupted between its leader, Rudolf Strasser and his deputy Heinrich Montag.

"What is the reasoning behind this?!" shouted Strasser

"About the recent friendly fire incident....?" Montag said sheepishly

"Yes! First our blood is shed by the dirty Reds and now by these Reactionaries? Why are we still over there?!!! I should have you shot for dragging us into this war!" Strasser slammed his fist on the table

"But it was under your orders, sir. I was just as unwilling to help out these ultra-capitalists as you were, but our struggle against Communism must be top priority. Besides, we did receive monetary compensation for our losses." Montag replied, trying to reason with the infuriated Strasser.

"The lives of our men are worth much more than what the coffers of a Monarch could offer! Why oh why have we forgotten our old Party motto 'The enemy of my enemy is NOT my friend'?"

"That was then, this is now." replied Montag

"And how have we benefitted?! We are losing a war against the Bolshevist scum, and putting a drain on our economy in the process. For what? To aid a reactionary government?"

"Sir, but... but we've discussed this before..." Montag tried to say but Strasser stormed out of the room.

As Strasser went to ponder the future of his country's role in the war, Deputy Montag felt that it would be best to keep the current mode of operations for the time being, but made sure to be ready to take a different part in the conflict if things were to go sour again.

At the scene of building fortifications for Stokmolovi advances at the Northern border:

"Yes, bring that artillery unit here at this point. We'll have an open view of the field and ability to fire at their charge for a long time." Ordered a colonel on scene. "And bring those B742 10mm machine guns over here and place them in those pillboxes at different angles so that we can get more bang for our buck." The 54th and 55th infantry (from Lucid Lake) were fortifying on the border in order to prevent a charge into friendly territory.

They also sent out squads of 15 to set random claymores, and alerted Upper Thule and Apalatia to their presence to prevent another unfortunate incident. These were standard claymores, but would be helpful in thwarting any charge. Their placement, like in the middle of the country, was also on the other side of the Beagle river, meaning that the enemy would have to wade their way through the swift current. There were also various bridges, which the enemy could take advantage of, and Dashie men couldn't cover them all or know where all of them were. None of them were mined because civilians were also known to cross this area.

They were regrouping from the recent Stokomolvi attack / charge which cleaned out portions of their unit. Massive waves of men were impossible to ward off, even by napalm. Now fortified, however, holding their ground would be easier if the enemy used such tactics again.

The destroyer from Lupus-Ara had hidden long enough. "Launch the missiles now!" said Captain Algoros, from the D.M.S Hellfire. 5 cruise missile screamed as they flew off of the ship, and flew towards their target.

"Captain, we have incoming." said one of the Derbarian sailors on the ship. The radar was sounding the "missile incoming" alarm, showing 5 bogeys coming in from the South.

"Deploy Air-defense mechanisms now!" said the Captain. One second later, the ship's guns were shooting at the missiles, who were now close to hitting their target. 3 were taken out just in sight of the ship, and the second to last missile before it hit the ship. The final missile slammed into the hull at a perfect angle, causing the already damaged ship to start taking in water.

"We're got to abandon ship!" said the captain, as the burning destroyer's hull creaked. Lifeboats were lowered, and 290 out of 302 Derbarian men made it out alive. The rest were presumed dead, but 5 were trapped by the fire. They drowned as the Destroyer sank to the depths off of the coast of Lupus-Ara.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The pirates' poor training showed again, as most of them ran backwards towards the beach instead of forwards to safety in response to Soviet Aissur bombs. Most were terrified and running in every direction, only to be bombed by aircraft or naval cannons. The beach was pretty exposed with few vegitation, meaning that the men has nowwhere to go. By the end, one who division had deserted, and another was horribly damaged.

The Aissuran destroyer was close to the Pirate frigate. Missleboats pulled alongside the frigate.

"Throw down your arms, and you will not be harmed!." Yelled a soldier.

"Yeah right, we'll be executing them by next week." He thought. They could see the smoke from the fierce bombarding, even though it was a long ways off.

"Let that be a lesson to them. Anyone taking Debarian soil will be faught. Victory or death." The soldier thought.

The engineers near Vrskavi had set up the Aritellary pieces. After the Mi-26 helicopters arrived later tonight with the ammo they would begin shelling the city and the middle front.

Morale was dropping near Vrskavi. The promised Air Strike never arrived. It seemed the Naval Fleet was more focused on enemy ships then this. Then a squeal was heard as rockets flew overhead. The M270 MLRS (http://www.army-technology.com/projects/mlrs/)missle launchers had

"Soviet Aissurs and Stokomolvi are raiding Vrskavi." said a Dashie general, while smoking a cigar. He pulled a 20mm round that was used as a paper weight off of his desk and put it to the side, to pick up documents on his desk. "Place airstrikes here, here ...... and here!" He proclaimed, pointing to different points on a huge map in the middle of the war room. "They're coming in from the Southwest, meaning that the approach is pretty level. Nobody has the advantage."

Vrskavi was up in flames, and practically destroyed. The Dashie navy to the north fired at Soviet Aissur and Stokomolvi positions, though they were pretty far away. Most of the rounds would probably miss. They were waiting, however, for the inevitable liberation of Vrskavi, where they would begin pounding the city with naval guns. It is estimated that over 100,000 of Derbarian citizens in the city are dead. Many fled to the middle of the country.

Airstrikes would not occur any further than the front lines, however. Even this was a gamble. SAM sites were everywhere, as well as enemy aircraft.

"No Tiburons this time." Said the General. "I want you to fry that city if the Apalatians are driven out. I don't give a shit if Ghandi was living in there. Fry those sons of bitches out." Artillery positions were recommended to the West of Vrskavi to being bombarding the city. Armored units were already there, however, so they would suffice.

"Charlie, I want you to bring those armored units 1000 rounds of Hornet-FG20 155mm howitzer rounds to load in those armored units there." said the general to one of his Colonels. "I want you to relay this message to all men in those units: If the Apalatians are driven from the city, I want you to blast the shit out of everything. If someone tries to bomb you, don't worry, we have SAM sites and AA. We cannot, however, guarantee protection from enemy aircraft."

A few buildings could be seen in the skyline of Vrskavi, but this was nearly blocked out by intense smoke raising to the sky.

In other news, the running infantry unit south of Vrskavi has regrouped. They plan to join operations by the end of the week.

"Roger that, this is Recon Team One, we have coordinates. Relaying them now." He said. Aissur usally relayed coordinates via computer.

"Prepare to fire."

"Aimed and prepped, firing." There was large thuds as the Artilary fired. They had fifty pieces set up here. They were setting up another base near the Speical Forces team two. There was multiple SAM sites lining the perimeter.

DAY 7 (http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg193/DashieCamel/DAY7.jpg)

OPERATION HIGH TIDE

"We're under attack! Holy shit!" said one of the Debarian men on the front line. The 1st armored division blitzkrieged right down the middle. Stealth bombers filled with BX napalm wreeked havoc on the battlefield, setting entire areas ablaze and charring men. It all happened at once. This attack was not confined to one unit. The entire force of Dashie army to the north was pouring down on the south. The time to attack was indeed now.

Dashie men jumped into the Beagle river. Many were being swept away, while others were mercilessly gunned down by Derbarian gun nests. Armor had to cross bridges, being susceptible to anti-tank weaponry. Several Dashie infantry also found their own claymores, leading to many wounded. The sheer force, however, caused Derbarians to panick.

At first, it was going well for the Derbarians. It looked like it would be a slaughter. However, as Dashie aircraft ate into Derbarian infantry, and as an air war raged in the sky, the tides turned, and Derbarians were on the run. The Derbarians made on crucial mistake: they were not fortified, and most of them were infantry. Therefore, when armor did get across the bridge, Debarians were being overrun left and right.

"We're falling b-" a soldier said as a BX napalm bomb landed 10 feet away from him and charred him and the men around him. Derbarian aircraft were specifically targetting Dashie stealth bombers, which lead to some success, but this still left Dashie jet fighters in play to take them down. SAM missiles were also flying left and right.

It was a bloodbath. Entire areas were burnt to a crisp as BX napalm rained down. "Gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!" screamed a Derbarian soldier who was on fire in a pillbox, who rushed out, and fell down a cliff to his death below. The Derbarians couldn't believe what they were seeing. Both sides were getting hammered.

The worst occured right at the border. After some of the armored Dashie units crossed the bridge, all hell broke loose. Derbarians, unable to find cover on high ground, seeked cover below. The units were now right on top of each other. It was like a WWII battle. Derbarians were climbing on tanks and shooting Dashie on spot inside. Derbarians were being crushed by tanks, and mowed down by the tanks' main and secondary guns.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

"10 mil on the ridge!" screamed one of the Derbarians. Bullets were ricocheting left and right. This was in the 5th infantry.

"I can't take it anymore!!!" screamed one of the Derbarians. He got up, and threw his gun down, and ran like a madman. An artillery shell exploded right next to him, exploding him to bits. A Derbarian colonel who saw this went into cardiac arrest, and another man starting having a seizure. Tracers were landing everywhere, and explosions were so common that it was more like a constant noise then spaced out.

"We've got to get the fuck out of here sir!" said another Derbarian man, shaking a Captain who was in shock. "I said, we have to get the fuck out of here, sir!" At this point, there was no order anymore. Derbarians who were privates were even screaming to retreat into their radios. As the Captain ran, he looked over and saw five Dashie men climbing out of their tank on fire, screaming in agony. That was when he lost hope in humanity.

He looked back, and saw 3 Derbarians cowered behind sandbags. Suddenly, 5 Dashie jumped over and started stabbing them to death with bayonets. Another men shot one of the Dashie soldiers in the head, and ran like a madman, but was filled with holes running away.

"Don't stop! Keep running!" said a Derbarian soldier, guiding the shocked Captain along. Derbarians and Dashie were literally stabbing and bludgeoning eachother with their weapons. The Captain and five other soldiers slipped into a swampy area, and kept running. Huge clouds of smoke, and fiery explosions were still going off behind them. Everything was on fire in back of them. The Dashie were even bombing themselves on occasions.

Some of the Dashie and Derbarians didn't want to go back to their unit. Nobody blamed them. Many units were so shocked and hammered that few noticed how far into Derbarian territory that Derbarians had been pushed back.

This attack also included a charge by A Dashie armored unit on the Soviet Aissurs' special forces unit (TF1).

Dashie KIA: ~16,000 expected
Derbarian KIA: As much as 18,000 - 20,000 expected
Both sides had around 60,000 wounded, many with severe burns; and the 1st armored unit was damaged pretty badly (along with Derbarian infantry).

Battleships and destroyers launched as many missiles and fired as many shells as they could at the Dashie naval groups. Cruise missiles were fired at numerous ships and the city in the distance, and several helicopters took off and launched small explosive missiles at the massive targets on the sea.

Back on land, the armour support had arrived, and heavy artillery boomed for many kilometres. The SMPF, reinvigorated, pushed as hard as they could into Dashie territory. Rockets were flying everywhere, napalm was landing on them, and shells were exploding all around. Bullets were flying, and thousands upon thousands of officers were slaughtered. However, they continued to charge. Their destination was Lucid Lake, and they were going to try as hard as possible to reach it no matter what happened.

Meanwhile, thousands of metres about Lucid Lake, several dozen long range transport aircraft started dropping actual trained infantry into the city. At high altitudes, the Stoklomolvi Imperial Guard were dropping, and once they got close enough to the city they would open their parachutes. Several thousand infantry were jumping out of the aircraft...

Though many aircraft were diverted to operation High Tide, 32 jet fighters, 12 stealth bombers, and 5 AC-130 gunships took to the sides to intercept the Stokmolovians. Jet fighters came within distance, and fired their first missiles at the aircraft, which was already dropping paratroopers.

AA fire was shooting into the sky. Units were taken by surprise in the command post, and took a while to take their positions. They left the command post, or even stayed in it, to defend their city from the invaders. Paratroopers were everywhere.

The cruise missle launch sank a battleship and aircraft carrier. However, Dashie ships retaliated by launching their own cruise missles.

At Lucid Lake, bullets were ripping the air and paradropping infantry. Flares were flying everywhere, and several infantrymen even caught fire. Several flaming Guardsmen, knowing that they were going to die, pulled out as many grenades and pins as they could and tossed them downwards before burning to death. Many others were shot to bits by the AA guns. Those who did land were shot to pieces by the soldiers running about the city. However, the sheer number of paratroopers eventually were able to land, and a small position was set up near the northern section of the city. Above, planes were splitting apart and crashing everywhere, and scores of Imperial Guardsmen were dying. Throngs of corpses were strewn in the streets.

Back at sea near Vrskavi, the Stoklomolvi knew that the cruise missile attack was coming, but they could do nothing about it. Sailors and captains alike were jumping off the ageing ships, which, more often than not, exploded with a single missile. However, several of the newer ships fared much better, and utilising primitive railguns were able to knock out several missiles. However still, many ships were damaged and destroyed.

Weapons emplacements were set up at the Southern part of the city, which was still secure. Calls were put out to infantry and armored units at Pheonix, which could make their way to Lucid Lake, but that would take a while. Still, the attack on Lucid Lake took its toll.

"Regroup men!" said a Captain. "We're going to send an infantry unit and an armored unit to the south and attack the paratroopers. Tiburons will cover your approach, but we cannot use napalm yet because we want to keep the city intact."

3 of the 4 AA guns were taken out, but many SAM missile starts were still operative. The Derbarians do not have aircraft support in the area, and are still bombing Vrskavi. Also, Dashie ships off of the coast were ordered to fire on positions in the city, with care, to ensure no friendly fire. There is no telling how effective this was.

Some full units were lost in the attack. However, units regrouped to the South, and have taken fortified positions.

The Derbarian and Dashie leaders sat down in a room, with each's flag behind their leader. These were not ambassadors. These were the two leaders. With Dashie armored and infantry units fighting toward Sewallistan, but not yet close enough, the Derbarian leader decided it was time to cut his loses. The meeting was prompted when 50,000 Derbarians surrendered from the last attack, and two whole units were very close to surrendering. If the Derbarian leader did not end it now, his military would be permanently damaged. The time to end was now.

"The terms of the agreement are here," said Dashie Camel, sliding a document across. "You must order the withdrawl of all foreign units from our soil. We demand nothing else. We will rebuild, and possibly fight other countries who do not agree to withdraw. You will get your land back."

The Derbarian leader had no choice. This wasn't a surrender. It was the honorable way out. He knew that as well funded as his army was, they were still immature compared to their Dashie counterparts.

In the end, the war was useless. Men died, yet nothing was ever gained. The Coastotopians would fight the X Empire for another day and a half, when they too were encouraged into formal talks by Dashie and Derbaria. Vrskavi was returned to the Derbarians, and the Apalatians too left.

Message to Upper Thule, Apalatia, Kanokalordo, and Coastotopia from Dashie Camel:

We thank you for your services. It was a great honor to fight alongside your brave, courageous warriors. For those who have fallen, we are sincerely sorry. Nothing will bring them back to this earth, but still, their sacrifices were just. The forces of evil have been vanquished for now, but who knows what the future holds. Gentlemen, let freedom pour into every crevice, and every quagmire that the earth holds. History will not forget you.

-Dashie Camel

Message from Derbaria to X Empire, Soviet Aissur, Stoklomolvi, Latvawgo

To my fellow comrades.

Communism has not suffered a defeat today. It has just been delayed. Though our army was not ready to take on such a conflict, we are still strong. Our principals and hearts will trump any rifle, bomb, or tank. If history states that this was a Dashie war, let us not worry. For the next two, three, and ten will be Derbarian wars. Capitalism has not won, will never win, and will never survive. Heed my words, comrades, for history is on our side.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following message has been sent from Dashie to:

Stokmolovi; Soviet Aissurs.

Gentlemen. We seek peace talks with both of you. The time has come for this senseless fighting to end. A summit will be held in Pheonix on the weekend. We request your attendance.
