Cotland Hosts APOC Wargame
By Thorstein Dale

After weeks of anticipation, His Majesty the King signed the APOC charter earlier today, marking the admission of Cotland into the Alliance for the Protection of Civilization, or APOC for short. This alliance includes such notable nation-states as Questers, Doomingsland and Praetonia, and now Cotland.

Since APOC is a military alliance, His Majesty has decided to host a wargame in an effort to make the bonds between the Realm's new allies and the Realm closer, and to familiarize our forces with those of our new allies.

Trademoen Army Base, Southwestern Region, Cotland

The large army base at Trademoen was filled with activity. Tanks and armored fighting vehicles drove around from here to there, logistics troops prepared temporary tent camps for the foreign troops (the average temperature for this part of the Southwestern Region was a steady 22° Celcius and mostly sunny), and the generals were preparing the plans. A rather substantial portion of the Royal Cottish Army and a number of units from the Royal Cottish Air Force would participate in this exercise, which was planned to last somewhere in the vicinity of three weeks.

Trademoen was chosen as the primary training site because it lay right next to the 90 000 km² sized Southwestern Military Training Area, which was more than sufficient to host the wargames, and it had a well-developed rail terminal that connected directly onto the large and well-maintained railroad network that connected every part of Cotland with each other. Most troops that came to Trademoen to train arrived by train, as this was the cheapest and most effective way of moving the troops within the Realm.

Now, the reception committee - a bunch of Military Police men for traffic control and a bunch of logistics soldiers for helping to offload and organize the thousands of men that were expected to arrive, many from Doomingsland, shortly...

Cottish-Nuclearean Border

Trains packed with Doomani infantry crossed the border, the soldiers literally hanging out of the cars. Cottish civilians smiled and waved at the armed, uniformed Doomani, who waved back. Imperator-II Arx main battle tanks and Praetor infantry fighting vehicles also crowded the flat top cars as well as 37mm and 105mm anti-aircraft guns in the highly unlikely event someone tried to attack the train. Other trains were packed with ACOM-wielding Custodes, MAD.IIAM main battle tanks, and dozens of trucks. It would literally take weeks to move the Doomani force, which consisted of SIGNVM III of the Exercitus and SVBEXERCITVM XI and XII of the Custos Imperatoria, the Imperial Guard. In command of the expeditionary force was Legatus Proconsularis C. Publius Silvanus, the same man who a year earlier had siezed the province of Nuclearum (formerly the Free Havenic Republic of Kahanistan) for the Imperium. While he was supposed to have been declared Dux of Nuclearum, truth be told it was not a job he'd wanted after the nuclear holocaust he'd unleashed on those lands, and as a result he'd instead accepted a massive promotion to the rank of Legatus Proconsularis. He would now be competing with his Cottish counterparts in a large scale wargame. It had been awhile since he'd dealt with a truly competant foe, as he'd expect the Cottish to be, and he was looking forward to it.

Emperor Conrad II announces Zukariaa's participation in Cottish wargames

Issue of 11-03-XX
_______

EARLIER this afternoon during a press conference, Emperor Conrad II announced that Zukariaa would be participating, along with several other APOC signatories, in large wargames as a celebration of Cotland's entrance into the Alliance. A deployment of a massive three (3) million troops was being deployed for the wargames. Military commanders at large have said,"this is going to be the largest wargame Zukariaa has ever participated in." At the same time, the navy is deploying a whopping 25 carrier fleets and the 3rd Assaulf Fleet under Pime Taradox for the naval wargames. They are currently moving south toward Cotland's coast. One admiral was quoted as saying,"The Zukariaan Armada is proud to take part in this wargame of epic proportions." More information as the situation develops.
