Parkway, Capital City of The Highway Republic of Route1

President Ron Tyson adjusted his clip-on tie as he slowly stepped up to the podium. In front of thousands of Routians, President Tyson was going to change the lives of millions in his simple message.

"My fellow Routians, we are a proud people! A people that, while happy and content, cannot stand up to acts of blatant imperialism. For too long, Route1 has watched and sat as the rogue-state of Greal attacks mounds of nations. Whether those nations are good or evil is up to the historians. We will stop these warmongering acts right here and right now!
As of now, the Highway Republic of Route1 declares war on Greal. Nothing, be it a diplomatic option or the threats of invasion, will stop us from achieving in our goal; the ultimate destruction of the Greal state."

A thunderous applause ensued, and the President of the noble state walked back towards his limo, headed for the Route1 Military Complex.

Route1 Military Complex, Parkway, The Highway Republic of Route1

"Well sir, our whole armed forces is mobilized and all Republican navies are sailing towards Greal. It is only a matter of time now."

"Excellent. Sent up recruiting stations throughout the country and give Greal an ultimatum; surrender or face destruction.

Route1

"Join the army! You get to kill Grealis!"
"Don't let Grealis eat your babies! Join the Route1 Guard now!"

Posters with slogans such as these were posted throughout the nation, with the intent to recruit millions of eager young men to act as a home guard. In the unlikely possibly that the Republican Army were to be defeated, the Republican Reserve could still protect the nation from the Greali infidels.

Your aggression and imperialism will be stopped right here and right now. Republican forces are preparing for an attack on your homeland. If you so desire, you might be able to see the strength of Republican soldiers. However, we, being the sensible people we are, will give you one chance to stand down and prevent massarce on your side. If you wish for a conditional surrender, then you have 24 hours to reply. Knowing Grealis, we have a feeling that your ill-logical government will refuse the offer, and thus, Republican navies will continue sailing towards your pathetic nation.

OOC: Sorry for the short post, I'm trying to get back into RPing with a nice war RP. If you have any questions, feel free to TG.

Sasha, Greal

President Watson looked at the message from Route1. Not another war to fight. Some of the military was exhausted from fighting ten wars in the last twelve months. But, he had not committed the majority of his military yet. Greal still had a formidable military.

The nation of Route1 had gotten its facts wrong. President Watson didn't recall Greal invading any nation in its whole history. It was just a pathetic reason to invade Greal.

"What is our next move?" asked one of the generals

"I don't know."

Greal sees no reason to surrender to the nation of Route1 because of our 'aggression and imperialism'. Your leaders may invade Greal, but they will find themselves in a bloody mess.

"With Greali military forces stretched thin in their neo-imperialist invasion of Deserted Territories (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13765216&postcount=2), an amphibious assault against Greal should prove to be little challenge for the Republican Navy. We will purge the world of this scum! Long live Route1!!"
-President Ron Tyson

Parkway Air Force Base

Hundreds of B-52 were lined up along the smooth tarmac of Parkway AFB, making a final prep before takeoff. Once given the OK by the ramp tower, the strategic bombers lifted off, flying towards Greal. The bombers were escorted by F-22 Raptors, the best that Route1 had to offer in terms of air power.


OOC: Greal: Map? Next post I will begin amphibious assault, so if you want to prevent me from doing that, I suggest part of your next post involve a naval engagement.

Greal

Meanwhile, Greal's massive reserves of troops were called up for war. Many of these troops had seen service in several wars, so they were the best Greal would offer. Mobile SAM units (Normally Lyran SAMs) were assembled around the country. The Greal Navy had assembled several large fleets to protect the West coast, while one fleet patrolled the south.

OOC: It would take a couple of days to go to Greal.....

Heres a map of my region (http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i156/UNDComrade/Yanitaria/NovusUniversitas.png), you should find me there.

You have an ORBAT?

OOC: Well then...How long do you want me to wait? I will get the ORBAT shortly. Please post yours as well...

OOC: Greal, since I stopped the Leocardian invasion in your nation, would you like me to support this defense as well? I'll be more than happy to do it....god knows I'm bored enough and need a good war. I'll not contribute more than one Korps, or 200,000 approximately, so it'll be more fair and we can prevent the normal clutter. :)

The Leocardian Ministry of Defensive Operations had been notified on this operation toward Greal. An emergency meeting was held and the truth had been revealed about Leocardia's position in the standing.

Kika Mana, Leocardia's new capitol city

With the new Shujunese leaders in the throne of Leocardia, their decision was made over several emergency meetings in the Greal front. They were informed that Greal has deployed more than 1.2 million soldiers outside of its borders and more than 450 sea vessels. This is an enormous deployment, almost the size of the Japanese deployed army during World War 2. This major deployment gave us the details of the war situation, because it meant terror for the foreign lands the Greali soldiers is encountering and the vast openness the Greal Government created for its homeland. This concerned the Leocardian throne of power, mentally and stragetically. Such a loss for Leocardia could mean a serious loss in the market with the Hegemony. It was very risky and should not be handled like an infant with his toy.

The Leocardian military forces were summoned, as this is a foreign war situation, and that this is the only way to solve problems when diplomacy is obviously not available. Route1 has its intentions, whereas the order of battle for Greal has tensions high at risk. With Leocardian diplomatic relations just at its start of the open, Leocardia is trapped with decisions and precisions ready to count data. Military leaders from all over the nation gathered up in the Red Star Tower, a massive tower created almost instantly in three months and proved its existence with engineering at its perfection, to discuss their plans in Greal.

Several thousands of Leocardian soldiers barred the streets around the Red Star Tower to prevent any luntical protest against the massive military discussion on whether Leocardia should take place in the new Greal front, and it was certain Leocardia should and will, though the new leaders of Leocardia required choices and decisions to be made without solely depending on the leader's could-be-mistaken picks and make the Leocardian people as a whole look bad to the world to see, just like how sickening Jason Batista had killed many innocents. Military deciders had their readying fingers on which to vote for the next election of polls for the situation.

Fellow Routians, we are in this crusade together! But alas, it has appeared that Greal's imperialist allies have shown their true colors. These foolish nations support Greal's imperialist ambitions, as can be seen in its quick approval of the invasion of a completely sovereign nation, Deserted Territories. We will not join the bandwagon of dunces that support imperialism and thus, as the foolish Lord Sumguy, leader of the pathetic Hegemony 'alliance' puts it to create a better peace, we shall make war (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13765056&postcount=1).

To: The Communist Dominion of Stoklomolvi

Commissar Stuyonovich,
As much as our two nations have differed in the past, we find ourselves on this day fighting for the same ideals. We have conjured up a plan to bring the downfall of the dreaded Corporate Alliance; although I cannot divulge in this communique for reasons of length, we can discuss this over a smaller scale channel

Getting to the point, the nation of Route1 has proven a major thorn in my side for some time now; accusing the state of Greal of warmongering when it is acting to destroy the dishonorable Corporate menace.
With your approval, and the approval from other nations, a joint multinational task force could successfully repel the assault and take it back to Route1's homeland. And we don't want any territory from all this either
So what do you say... Comrade?

Sincerely,
James Hogart
~President

Official Response from the Fascist Federation of The Grand World Order

Currently, the GWO Navy is recuperating from several conflicts. However, should the invasion hit the ground of the state of Greal, the Fascist Federation will devote two million troops to the defense of Greal.

We do view the current policy of Route1 with... disgust. We do believe it was Pope Julius who said, "O peace! How many wars have been fought in thy name?". Peace cannot be attained until our species is under one general form of control, with most of our major differences destroyed. We cannot progress when the world is under literally thousands of different governments, and even worse is the fact that many of these nations are Anarcho-Communistic.

Route1, we do wish you would cease. We feel no threat from a nation like yours, and we would have no hesitation in dropping the hammer on your invasion force, should it land on Greali soil. We would have no hesitation in skinning and fileting your force's officers before force-feeding them to the enlisted personnel; nor would we do so in filming such actions and hacking your public broadcasting networks to show your populace how bad their leaders are at management.

At the moment, all Route1 citizens are being arrested by our Civilian Control Units, whom are working with their respective Continential State Police Departments and the Federal Guard ((National/Military Police)). They will be put on Light Industry assemblylines until you either cease your invasion or begin the first battle. Should you cease, they will be permitted to leave their prison lines and live as normal citizens of the Order, or move back to Route1 if they wish. If you attack Greal, they will be permanently moved to Heavy Industry assemblylines, where they will die slow and miserable deaths building our military or other products involving dangerous materials and machines.

Choose wisely, Mr. Tyson. Many lives rest upon your next decision, and possibly your own homeland.

You claim that our great nation has an extremely high level of stupidity. But then, you claim that if we go to war, our stupidity will be purged.

Admiral Beuford rubbed his head, weighting all of his possible options carefully. A direct assault on these fools might succeed....But we must do it quickly, time is not on our side... he thought, while his sub-admirals gathered.

"Get all aircraft in the air, we're going to sink these imperialists. Have the Kulmbach's circle around the carriers and get the frigates to act as the first-line of defense. You have your orders....Now move!"

Hundreds of Harriers were launched as Seahawk helicopters hovered around the fleet. The copters began deploying sonar buoys at the flanks and rear of the fleet. Enemy subs hoping to sneak behind the Republican Navy would be detected, and immediately fired upon.

Vice Admiral peered over the horizon with his powerful binoculars, ready to give the order to strike. "Sir, most vessels are in range. We are ready to fire..."

"Yes, Captain, you may fire when ready. Let's sink those bastards."

At the cue of a small whistle, thousands of Tomahawk missiles and Harpoons flew over the horizon as Hornet aircraft and Harriers sped towards the battered enemy fleet...

Greal's satellites were tracking the enemy fleets to Greal. Soon, they were within range of the LY589 Hellion Advanced Cruiser Missile (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=13525984). Shortly before the enemy launched their Tomahawk missiles, three thousand Hellion Cruise missiles were launched against the enemy fleet.

Meanwhile, Greal F-44 Interceptors (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=9992748&postcount=1162) and Eurofighters took off to intercept the enemy planes. Greal pilots were scrambling to their planes and taking off when the first of the enemy Tomahawks hit a support vessel near the carrier, blowing it sky high.

The Lyran defense measures had done good, but half of the Tomahawk missiles had gotten through, sinking and damaging at least half the fleet. The most hard hit were the destroyers, which lost two thirds of their number.

Greal western coast

Massive coast guns on the western coat were prepared. Nearly three million militia, reserve and regular troops were assembled to defend the coast. They would be supported by thirty thousand artillery pieces and several thousand aircraft. They would fight to the last man to defend their nation.

It sure is a good thing that we don't really care what you're going to do with such a small number of our citizens, no? And brutality in this world is nothing extraordinary; Note that we're not trying to make a scene as Londinium did. Also, we're pretty sure the nation of Automagfreek commits such "atrocities", yet it is doing extremely well. It is also funny how you claimed Zackaroth's people cannot spell, yet, you've made more errors in that message than he did.

Anyways, we repeat our announcement; should your forces reach Greal's ground, we will not hesitate to slaughter every last soldier in Greal. You will not deter us. We WILL see to it that Greal remains sovereign.

That pretty much sums it up. I gotta write this down somewhere. Anyway, don't think that I can't support this; the majority of the KGB are usually police officers who pay for some of the stuff, while the others go around thrashing my very small neighbours. Not all of my KGB are equipped in such a fashion. The men are supported by convoys that travel from western Stoklomolvi through allied territory to the eastern coast of Greal. Unless you wish to provoke a war with one of my allies, the convoys are pretty much safe.

Subject: Cooperation

It seems that yes, indeed we have reached a point where we may cease our incessant and unnecessary squabbling to keep a nation sovereign and away from foreign rule. It is as such that we must cooperate to form a coalition in which we will destroy the Corporate Alliance starting with the defence of Greal. It has been noted that the region of Novus Universitas is far to the east of the majority of nations in the world, and any transport from a foreign nation to Novus Universitas will take considerably much longer than it would take for a nation from Novus Universitas itself to other nations. As such, reinforcement may take quiet a long time, if it reaches Greal at all. Travelling from the south-west of Novus Universitas may avoid the brunt of the convoys that Route1 is sending, though travel from the east is undeniably and completely ineffective due to travel times that could be upwards of years or even decades.

Regardless, consider Cazelia to be an allied nation of Stoklomolvi, for the time being. Let us go forward together.

Greal's satellites were tracking the enemy fleets to Greal. Soon, they were within range of the LY589 Hellion Advanced Cruiser Missile (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=13525984). Shortly before the enemy launched their Tomahawk missiles, three thousand Hellion Cruise missiles were launched against the enemy fleet.

Meanwhile, Greal F-44 Interceptors (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=9992748&postcount=1162) and Eurofighters took off to intercept the enemy planes. Greal pilots were scrambling to their planes and taking off when the first of the enemy Tomahawks hit a support vessel near the carrier, blowing it sky high.

The Lyran defense measures had done good, but half of the Tomahawk missiles had gotten through, sinking and damaging at least half the fleet. The most hard hit were the destroyers, which lost two thirds of their number.


Greali Waters

"This is RRN 057 to 1st Routian Naval Command, we have confirmed bogies approaching Vector 2110 at approximately 45 miles per minute. We are relaying targets to all nearby Routian vessels to engage bogies on our mark.....Fire, fire, fireee!"

Mark 13 missile launchers aboard the frigates targeted the oncoming F-44's with RIM anti-aircraft missiles. Behind the line of frigates, heavier, harder hitting ships began launching Evolved Sea Sparrow missiles targeted at both enemy aircraft and oncoming missiles. Above the fleet, CIWS began peppering the sky with shells in a last-ditch effort to minimize the effect the missile strike. Nonetheless, dozens of frigates were cut down to size, absorbing most of the damage from the attack. A few corvettes which happened to be in the crosshairs of some missiles were sunk as well. Hundreds of men jumped off the vessels as most of them listed, taking in water.

"This is Yellow 7 to Base, over. Beginning primary engagement."

The furious air battle over the two fleets began with the downing of a Routian harrier. A sneaky Greali pilot managed to get at the fighter's 6 o'clock. Attempting to get loose, the Routian was gunned down, it's airframe broken into dozens of little pieces.

"I have one! Got a lock-on! Firing sidewinder....now! *Brief pause* It's a hit, it's a hit!"

With the planes in a bloody duel overhead, the Republican Navy began firing its big guns. Hundreds of 16 inch guns began relentless shelling the already crippled fleet.

"This is Yellow 7, we cannot keep fighting like this...Request back-up... Ohshi- Fox Two, Fox Two!!! I'm hit! Going down... mayday. Fuc-" Yellow 7's Harrier erupted in flames as a missile flew right up the Harrier's afterburners.

More than half of the launched aircraft were already either at the carriers under repairs, or had already been downed. It was time for the real strike. A few thousand Hornets flew towards the battlefield from the huge carriers AMRAAM missiles. Once the Grealis detected them, the missiles would already be at their target. These beyond visual range missiles are able to fire over 20 miles, a very amazing feat. Once the Hornets got in range, they began firing their closer range, more accurate Sidewinder missiles...

RRN 001

"How goes the situation, so far?"

"Well, Admiral, we are taking heavy losses in the air and much of our frigate group is crippled. However, we seemed to have re-gained air superiority...I don't think they expected all of those Hornets to come out of nowhere...Hah..."

"Excellent, keep me informed."

"I shall."

Sasha, Greal

The massive air group that had taken off from Parkway a few hours ago began its relentless bombardment against Sasha, making sure to bomb anything that looked important. In the list of "To Bomb" targets included the capitol building, the administrative district, known troop concentrations, and military installations. However, although the bomber crews were given strict orders to avoid civilian targets, the pilots did as they pleased, targetting whatever they felt needed to be wiped out...

Airspace Above Sasha
1900 Hours
Task Force Talon Patrol Group

Ten F-14D fighters cruised through the sky at mach 1, supported by Seven F/A-18E interceptors flying at about the same speed. They were armed with AIM-54 missiles, AIM-9s and AMRAAMs. At about 30 miles, the formation spotted the Routeian bombers.
"Talon command, this is Viper; enemy bomber formation spotted attacking vital fuel depots and civilians, request permission to engage." reported the flight leader from his F-14D
"Roger that, Viper, cleared to engage; we're sending you backup as well. Go kill some Routeians and make Sasha safe for today." replied Talon command over the radio.
"Engaging targets, approximately 23 miles from target... Missiles away!" Following these words was a flurry of missiles aimed at the bombers. The patrol split formation, and decreased their speed to regular cruising speed. after the first volley of missiles hit their mark, the group fired their AIM-9 for close quarters; after the second volley, the patrol split further apart, with the F-14Ds pulling strait up while the F/A-18Es let go with their 20mm machine guns. The F-14Ds came in out from the clouds about a minute later, firing their 30mm Gatling cannons at the top of the aircraft before flying through openings in the bomber formation.

**OFFICIAL STATEMENT**

The Commonwealth of Tolvan declares complete neutrality in the conflict between Greal and Route1 at this time. However, let it be known that Tolvanic shipping frequents the waterways north of Greal and should any Tolvanic flagged vessel be fired upon the perpetrators will be brought to account. Furthermore, the Commonwealth officially offers its assistance to mediate this disput in order to facilitate a peaceful resoluation and to avert any further bloodshed.

Commonwealth of Tolvan

The Greal fleet fired a massive barrage of anti-aircraft missiles, another wave of Hellion Cruise missiles, and more missiles to stop the enemy hornets. The F-44s suffered, but still numbered around four hundred aircraft. Eurofighters launched their antiaircraft missiles also.

The Greal naval fleet was strengthened by hundreds of missile boats, which launched their massive barrage of anti-ship missiles. Greal fighters from the mainland came in support.

The fleet still suffered however from the hornets, half of the battleships were gone, even if the fighters had not survived, they would have no place to land since lots of the carriers were sunk or damaged.

Sasha, Greal

The Routean bombers would suffer today. They flew across half of Greal just to get to a capital city heavily guarded by more SAMs then the rest of the country. People in the city took refugee in bombing shelters and other places.

Hundreds of Greal F-22s and F-44s gathered as the enemy bombers approached and fired a massive barrage of anti-aircraft missiles when the bombers were within range. SAMs were also firing.

"High speed screws detected, sir. Bearing 91 to 93 Degrees."
"There's a range?"
"Yes, sir. The United's fresh out of Yanitaria's Shipyards, and we're having problems integrating the emitters with our processors."
"One degree won't make a difference in just thirty knots. Lieutenant. Commence Plan 'Hello'. Wolfpack in formation Beta."
"Aye, sir. Rigging for silent running. Depth, 160 Metres. Speed, 10 Knots."


3 HOURS LATER

“Sir, wolfpack reports that all subs are directly behind the enemy fleet. We're safe from detection--for now.”
Passive Sonar buoys had been anticipated. To counter this, the pack had gone completely EM silent, something quite easy nowadays. However, Active sonobuoys were a surprise. Right now, The wolfpack was still invisible. But in 30 seconds--
'Options, Lieutenant?"
"None sir. Either we turn back, or we..."
"We must. Greal is our ally. It is tradition. Wery well. Plan B. We're about to be detected anyway, so might as well still use what measure of surprise we have left. Full speed ahead into their fleet. Fire two torpedoes at two transports, then Fall back under the chaos."
"It's been a pleasure serving with you, sir"
“Very well. Send the message. Fire solution One!”

Normally, the mark 84 ‘backbreaker’ torpedoes were wire-guided, but their internal sensors sufficed for this short distance against an easily distinguishable prop signature. In a pack, they went streaking to destruction.
Their target--The unprotected keels of the troop transports.

"Tango Four to Charlie, over. We have multiple unidentified aircraft coming in from the east...Ohshit! They're are engaging, I repeat, we are under attack! Open Fire! Fox Two, Fox Two! I have a spike, launching flares"
As soon as the 17 Cazelian bandits fired their first volley of missiles, the bombers immediately deployed chaff.

"Red 1 to Charlie, over. We see the Greali cap-Shit! I'm hit, going down, going down!"

"Red 1, maintain your current course, I repeat, maitain your current course. When you crash, you'll make a parking lot of Sasha." And with that, the lead bomber, with a blown off wing, began losing altitude. After a few minutes of descent, the B-52 slammed into the metropolis of Sasha.

Although six bombers were downed along with a few escorts, the remaining aircraft kept up its ruthless destruction of Sasha. The F-22 escorts came to life, firing sidewinder missiles at the much smaller foe.

Official Routian Message

The Highway Republic of Route1 honors the neutrality of Tolvan and will be sure that no Tolvian civilian or military hardware is damaged by Routian acts. However, you should watch out for the Greali neo-imperialists, they are fools when it comes to peace.
-President Ron Tyson.

The Greal fleet fired a massive barrage of anti-aircraft missiles, another wave of Hellion Cruise missiles, and more missiles to stop the enemy hornets. The F-44s suffered, but still numbered around four hundred aircraft. Eurofighters launched their antiaircraft missiles also.

The Greal naval fleet was strengthened by hundreds of missile boats, which launched their massive barrage of anti-ship missiles. Greal fighters from the mainland came in support.

The fleet still suffered however from the hornets, half of the battleships were gone, even if the fighters had not survived, they would have no place to land since lots of the carriers were sunk or damaged.

Vertical Launch Systems aboard most of the vessels began re-targetting the remaining large ships. From these VLS came yet more tomahawk missiles. Accompanying the tomahawks were patriot missiles, launched against the Greali land-based fighters.

The Seahawk helicopters that had just finished deploying the Sonarbuoys, began firing anti-ship AGM-119 missiles. With Greali surface vessels being harrassed from the air and the sea, it would be a nightmare to attempt an effective counter-attack.

A few dozen Hornets were swatted out of the sky. Most of them, however, attempted to crash into the Greali warships. It was an honorable death for the noble Routians. The small missile boats that weaved in and out of the battle posed a small, but serious, threat to the Republican Navy. It was hard to obtain their radar cross-section due to their size, so it was proposed to fight small ships with small ships. A couple hundred Braunschweig vessels sped towards the Greali missile boats. While sailing, the vessels (altogether) unleashed a painful barrage of 8,400 anti-aircraft missiles. That was definately overkill.... Once the corvettes began engaging the missile boats, almost a thousand anti-ship missiles were launched, and aimed at the Grealis...

Official 1st Republican Navy Message to Greali Fleet
Face it, your fleet is crippled, if not already sunk, and your sailors are all but dead and demoralized. Think logically here. If you surrender this....."fleet", then we will scuttle the vessels and be sure to treat your sailors with the utmost respect, unlike what imperialist infidels would do. If you do not surrender, then the bloodshed and massacre will continue.

Dear Mr. Claudius Griffincrest,

We that glad that more people acknowledge our plea. Greal, along with its neo-imperialist allies, claim that they despise blantant imperialism, and yet, they go invading sovereign nations. Hypocrisy, I say! We are glad that the infamous Griffincrest Corporation wishes to assist in our cause; we have heard much about your fine business entity. We will accept all that you offer. The more the merrier, the famous saying goes.

We thank you for your much-needed assistance.

On the ground, Cazelian Avenger SAM batteries detected the enemy bombers, and immediately swiveled themselves towards the large B-52 bombers and their nimble F-22 escorts. Their heat seeking and radar guided missiles then flew from their compressed tubes and into the freedom of combat; streaming gracefully through the sky like a display of fireworks on independence day.
It was all about to change. The missiles activated their radar domes and locked into their targets. The Routeian pilots would not even have time to press the decoy button on their joysticks before the ordinance would hit it's mark.

Meanwhile, an EC-3 AWACS control aircraft monitored the entire battle from a few dozen miles away. The EC-3's high-power radar dish detected the inbound raptors and relayed the information to the inbound Task Force Spear fighter group.
"Whiskey-five-one, this is Pizza platter-two-three; enemy Raptors escorting objectives into the target area, over." reported Pizza platter two-three.

Lt. Greyson and his squadron of F-14Ds received the message and the information, and set their speed to mach 1.5. They were armed with AMRAAMs and AIM-54s, and their upgraded 30mm cannons. They rocketed towards the enemy aircraft. Suddenly a missile exploded between two of the F-14Ds
"Squadron, break formation! I repeat, break formation!" ordered Greyson.

The two dozen aircraft split in all directions. One of the unlucky aircraft was hit head on by an AIM-9 and spiraled downwards, smoke bellowing from the nearly non-existent cockpit
"Cougar is down, I repeat, Cougar is down. I see no chute." sighed Greyson, spotting one of the F-22s
"Visual contact made with an enemy fighter, switching to guns!"
Greyson pulled his F-14D up behind the F-22 and fired about 50 rounds into the bogey and pulled off towards the bomber formation. He switched back to his AMRAAM missiles and locked onto one of the bombers. He puled the trigger, not once, not twice, but three times to ensure the bomber didn't hit the ground.

Greal

General Hasley opened the door to the command center and stepped in.
Home sweet home He thought, walking over to the command chair. A young officer approached him as he took off his Mk.17 Gas helmet
"General Hasley, our attack against the bomber formation is working. What are your orders?" said the officer
"Tell your men to move outside the our part of Sasha and build up defenses near the coast. I want trenches dug in the middle of roads, and I want you to destroy whatever form of infrastructure you can if they make past our defenses. And begin to arm the civilians so they can defend themselves. I want this suggestion given to the Greal government ASAP."

There was a brief pause
"Yes sir."

DRC South Sasha
Sasha
Greal

About a hundred Cazelian national guard engineers worked on a trench in the scorching heat. They had barely made it through the concrete and their order for jackhammers had been canceled due to an arms shipment being sent to another division up north who needed the trucks that were doing the delivery. All the men had available were tools given to them by the civilian population. Most of the men had taken off their uniform tops and gas helmets to keep cool. The day was filled with the sound of pickaxes digging and hammers thumping against concrete. It was assured that the civilian population miles around wouldn't get much sleep if any; but it was needed.
At night the men worked harder because of the heat (or lack thereof), and engineers around Sasha had their fortifications and trenches ready at about the same general time. About two hours later, defenses were fitted with a multitude of weapons such as heavy machine guns and mortars.

An hour after that the troops arrived. They were quick to man the defenses as expected, and had already begun making themselves at home. The medical corps had already set up a few field hospitals and the engineers were hard to work setting up smart mines.

Subject: Arming your civvies

Mr. Watson;
Due to recent Routeian actions, it seems obvious that enemy forces will make it past the beachhead. In order to counter this threat, the Cazelian Air Force is requesting authorization to drop weapons, ammunition and combat gear to Grealite civilians. This would almost certainly help insurgents in occupied territory rise up against their occupiers.

OOC: Two things: One, see the stuff with Zackaroth on the second page. Two, even in the message I didn't mention that it was arms. Even if you somehow knew I was starting trade with him, it could be anything I'm trading.

For now, this little thing is being ignored for metagaming. Feel free to edit out the bits about guns and killing Cazelians, though, and just have it at something like "your ships are trading with Roadies. Stop it noaw or we'll sink uz!11!"

Of course, that would basically be establishing a complete blockade on R1, if you feel you're up to it.

OOC: Vanteland, you said it wasn't SIC, and said it was just regular IC. I just deleted because of your 'request'

OOC: Ah.....I fired a couple hundred missiles at the very least, and only 10 of your planes were hit? And I did fire another wave of Hellion missiles and there was no response to that.

Sasha, Greal

Sasha was surrounded with fortifications since the Red Skull war. The fortifications kept the Leocardians from entering Sasha. More and more defenses were added to the city. Millions of Greal soldiers and militia and even some police took their positions. Tens of thousands of tanks were also among them. Greal civilians were also stockpiling guns, supplies and ammunition.

Womer, Greal

The port city was hearing reports from the naval battle raging to the south every minute. If the Routeans won, then the port had one last fleet, the Home Fleet itself. Also, one thousand missile boats were assembled to protect the port area. F-36s and F-22s patrolled the skies hourly. It would be hard for the Routeans to gain air superiority.

The rest of Greal

According to estimates, over hundred million troops, militia, reserve, police, military police could be used to fight the invaders, but half of them were support personnel, who had little weapons training. In addition, there were millions of marines and air force personnel who could be used.

Some cities, such as Aust City, had their whole population mobilized. That was never done before. Millions of civilians were digging trenches and building defensive works to stop the invaders. Militia leaders were already planning how to cut enemy supply lines if the Routeans broke through and establish a beachhead.

OOC:Route1, noted. Please reread post http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=560036&page=3

GWO Embassy, Aust

The civilians mobilizing were certainly an odd sight to the S.T.F. Agents posted there. However, the Agents were prepared for a fight as well, drawing up plans for a tactical defense of the building, and, should it be destroyed, a strategic method to help Greal citizens learn how to better combat the Routians.

The guards had strewn barbed wire across the lawn of the Embassy. Plans had been drawn up, showing positions for Agents and configurations for their MI-8A2s, heavily taking advantage of the extreme modularity of the weapon. The upper reciever could easily be changed to fit other rounds, ranging from 5mm/SMc rounds to the mighty 12.7mm (.50 BMG) round. Plus, like the XM8 upon which the weapon was designed, they could easily switch the role of the weapon.

The non-combat staff members were grabbing whatever they could for weapons, mainly Crowbars and kitchen knives, but other weapons such as lead pipes were present.

OOC: Greal, I am not going to continue until you correctly RP the utter damage done to your damn capital. You have downed 265,000 pound bombers crashing in your capital, and that does not even include the thousands of pounds of bombs dropped upon your capital. However, for some strange reason, your capital keeps getting "More and more defenses were added to the city". Seriously, man....How the hell are you building damned defenses when you city is getting bombed to smitereens? I can imagine crude, earthwork being built, but concerte fortications, etc. are out of the boxAlso, a response to the naval message and battle?

And secondly, Greal currently has many colonies, and all of them add up to over four billion people in all of Greal's colonies and the homeland. These are the results of the latest census.

June 2008 Census
Greal: 2.395 billion
Grunt: 1.037 billion
Lasom: 897 million
Greal Turkey: 72 million
Watson Island: 3 million
Total population: 4.404 billion

Yeah, ummm, since when was the last time that nations get their population from colonies? No, just no. I may have been away from NS for a while, but I am certain that this is not plausible. Your population is 2.395 billion, rather than the strange 4.404 billion. I do hope that your military reflects this number.

If you wank that way and add people from your colonies, then mah Route 86 coloni has gut 100 billion peoplez.

OOC: Greal does your agreement with Northern Baltic still hold? If so I'll begin commanding those forces momentarily.

North half of The Northern Baltic
The United Worker's Republic was mobilizing: 750,000 men were being loaded onto transport aircraft. Tanks, armored vehicles, and other forms of support were also being loaded onto transport aircraft. Artillery had their gun barrels disassembled, to make it easier for them to travel on the planes. A massive fleet of escort fighters, in the form of Mig-1.44 fighters, as well as air tankers accompanies the planes on their journey. They were coming to Greal's aid.

Meanwhile a message was sent to Greali high command...
From The United Worker's Republic
Our forces are on there way. We request as many safe landing stripes as you can give us, as well as a full status report on the enemy's movement. Hold on brave soldiers of Greal. Let any land the enemy gains be paid for in his blood. Fight on, reinforcements are coming.

OOC: No, if you have colonies in other nations they can be reflected in your nations population. How do you think I have 14 billion people? I conquer and dominate other nations and force them into the Reich.

Oh and Route86 doesn't exist. Nice try.

[OOC: Route1, your bombers are going to take as much damage from the hundreds of missiles fired at them as the city is going to take damage from your bombers landing on it. Greal, you need to RP damage dealt to your capital in the form of civilian casualties, damaged defensive emplacements, etc.]

OOC: just out of curiosity, Route1 are you attacking my military bases in Greal as well, aka Sasha and Wormer, or can we assume that my forces are left alone?

OOC: Can't post today. Very busy.

I'll put up the damage tomorrow.

(I did fire another wave of Hellion missiles at your fleet according to my last post)

OOC: Very well, I shall wait. @Mokastana: No, I am only targetting confirmed Greali buildings/troops. Stoklomolvi, I know how to RP. When there are thousands of countermeasures being deployed against a few hundred missiles, only a few dozen are going to get through. And a bomber can survive a missile hit...

[OOC: No countermeasure is perfect. At any rate, the main problem here is that we do not know what kind of missiles were fired, and we only know that flares were deployed. Infrared-guided missiles would be rendered useless, but what of radar-guided missiles? Laser-guided missiles?]

Field Marshal Suvorov was always known as a true Bolshevist. Average height, thin but muscular, he was not known for his astounding looks. What got the attentions of his comrades was his propensity for austerity. He detested what many others considered necessities; trivial niceties not needed. He cared deeply for his troops, his lack of overt emotion was far exceeded by his actions.

Seven hundred and fifty thousand Baltic troops were now under his command. They were assembled in a mass series of camps throughout the Greali countryside, preparing to mobilise for war, assembling equipment, readying their armoured vehicles and tanks with last moment final checks. Soon enough they would be moving out.

He had just exited the final aircraft, and was the last man on the ground. He believed that he could not leave his posting back in The Northern Baltic until all of his men had deployed, ensuring that each piece of equipment, each man, everything was shipped out precisely as it was intended. He and his command staff now hunkered down in his command tent, rudimentarily established just outside the Greali airport where the Baltic Forces had chosen to make their Corps Head Quarters.

"Right," He began. "We'll have the 1st, 2nd, and 5th Motor Rifle Divisions advance into Sasha, auxiliated by the 3rd, 8th, and 9th Tank Divisions."

"But Comrade Field Marshal, thats only one hundred and eighty thousand men!" Exclaimed one of his Staff Officers.

"Your point is?" He quirried.

"Well, Comrade Field Marshal, that is nowhere near our entire force."

"Precisely. We'll dig in, and keep more in reserve. Should the rest be required in any sector they can be deployed at a moments notice. My other order, is to have the air forces make sure those bastards lose their air superiority. Those Grealis are taking quite a pounding from bombers. Make sure that doesn't happen again. Patch me into the channel to talk to the Greali ground commander. I need to ask if he has maps or some way of knowing the area of Sasha, including troop movements if any. Noones told me a damned bloody thing other than that theres a war going on here. I want answers! Do get them to me." With that he nodded, and turned. Waiting to be patched into the Greali Field officer.

The bombing raids had killed twenty thousand civilians and damaged countless buildings. The Congress Building was completely destroyed by a downed bomber. More and more Greal fighters came up to fight. They also cut off any paths of escape for the bombers. if they wanted to head back to safety, they would have to fight the F-44s and Eurofighters and their SAM support. Civilians in Sasha worked together to put out various fires around the capital. President Martin Watson also helped put out fires at various areas.

"This is General Will Riddle of the thirteenth army speaking." said a voice over the radio. Will Riddle was extremely busy deciding where to place six hundred thousand Greal troops, but he had time to talk with his allies. Will waited for an answer from the allied commander.

"Field Marshal Suvorov of the Northern Baltic. I need a situation update from you and if possible a map uplink on the area."

"Well, the enemy is bombing Sasha, killing many people. Our fighters did their best to inflict heavy losses on the bombers. Meanwhile, our navy is suffering in a naval battle with the enemy, but our fleets are still intact. We will need your men ready for a counterattack once the enemy has established a beachhold."

OOC: Bump?

Greal said that he launched some missiles

Sasha, Greal

The Routean bombers would suffer today. They flew across half of Greal just to get to a capital city heavily guarded by more SAMs then the rest of the country. People in the city took refugee in bombing shelters and other places.

Hundreds of Greal F-22s and F-44s gathered as the enemy bombers approached and fired a massive barrage of anti-aircraft missiles when the bombers were within range. SAMs were also firing.

OOC: The problem that I fired about 8,000 missiles at your aircraft. Casualties? Do we have numbers on your downed aircraft? Lulz, no. Apparently, they just keep coming and coming.

1st Republican Navy

"So, those fools wish to commit suicide, ehh? Very well....after we take out this Greali missile barrage, sink the whole fleet...Leave nothing standing."

Hundreds of Patriot missiles were launched, countering the presumed final Greali naval attack. A few more frigates were sunk and one aircraft carrier was slowly listing from a well-placed missile attack. The Routian counterbarrage began, as the missiles from the helicopters and corvettes pounded the remaining Greali surface vessels. Battleships lobbed hundreds of huge shells at the Grealis...

OOC: Ok, I will move the fleet towards the amphibious assault next post.



Normally, the mark 84 ‘backbreaker’ torpedoes were wire-guided, but their internal sensors sufficed for this short distance against an easily distinguishable prop signature. In a pack, they went streaking to destruction.
Their target--The unprotected keels of the troop transports.

"Picking up multiple targets from the Sonarbuoys...Unidentified.. HOLY! Torpedoes have been fired. Shit, we just lost the Republic...." Immediately after the enemy submarines fired their torpedo arsenal, anti-submarine rockets aboard the patrolling frigates began firing at the targets. Routian helicopters, already in the air from their engagment from the Greali navy, began hovering towards the general location of the enemy submarines. Launching Mark 45 torps, these missiles used acoustic homing to seek its targets. Other helicopters began deploying SONARbuoys, both passive and active to the vicinity.

We increase our bid to 2 billion dollars.

OOC: If my memory serves me right, I made the last bid. Qimu stated that bidding was to end a few days ago, and I made the last bid. I am not counting Cazelia's bid because Qimu messaged I and Greal, NOT him.

Also, one thousand missile boats were assembled to protect the port area. F-36s and F-22s patrolled the skies hourly. It would be hard for the Routeans to gain air superiority.


OOC: Greal, I am attacking at Sasha, not Womer. So I do presume that your "Home Fleet" will not be engaging us for some time.

OOC: No, if you have colonies in other nations they can be reflected in your nations population. How do you think I have 14 billion people? I conquer and dominate other nations and force them into the Reich.

Oh and Route86 doesn't exist. Nice try.

OOC: Lol? Route 86 does exist. Why don't you go check the Sawney Islands thread, if you don't believe it. Yeah, you conquer actual nations, not claim stuff as colonies. Like I stated before, I can simply state that my colony has 10000 billion people. I 'conquered' them. ;)

Hope I didn't miss anything.

OOC: I didn't see that post, my mistake.

Just so you know, Sasha in about six hundred miles inland. Your bombers would have encountered plenty of SAMs as they fly toward Sasha.

And, to end the colony bickering you are attacking the Greal mainland itself. That means I can only use the population I have in Greal. My colonial populations are useless unless you attack them..........

IC:

The Greal naval aircraft were now mostly gone. Still, the Greal fleet fought back. Its massive Overlord Superdreadnought responded to the enemy battleships by firing back with its massive guns. The Greal fleet, and the Hellion missiles based on Greal itself numbering over five thousand were fired at the enemy fleets. Hopefully, this would destroy part of the Routean fleet.

OOC: I was fairly confident that I had decimated your fleet with flying colors. Please, what do you still have left that survived a feckin' huge onslaught.

After a week of travel, Talon was ready for action. They already had the coordinates of the Routeian fleet, and had readied three orbiting attack satellites for a godrod strike on the enemy fleet.
In the meantime, the AM-4Ns were being equipped with harpoon AShM systems. Their larger cousins, the F-14Ds were being armed with laser-guided bombs and AAMs to ward of enemy fighters.

From the sea was the 3rd Fleet; which was made up of all North-Point built vessels. The combined firepower of these ships would be enough to sink the whole enemy battle-group if all the missiles hit; although it was highly unlikely that the entire barrage would hit it's mark. However the it was estimated that about 70% of the missiles would strike the enemy ships.

It would be easy to see the opening missile launch from the enemy fleet, and that was the point. The Cazelian navy had recently adopted a 'shock-and-awe' mentality, and intended to test it on the other side. At 7:01 AM, the task-force commander gave the order to launch the missiles. At exactly the same time, the entire fleet activated their VLS pods and let their' cargo seek their targets. The time it would take to hit the enemy would be roughly 60 seconds. At that time the carriers had already launched their air-wings; it would take them 340 seconds to get in range of the remaining ships with their Harpoon missiles.

As soon as the missiles were launched, the F-14Ds took off. Minutes later the subsonic AM-4N aircraft were catapulted into the sky.
It was going to be one hell of a morning

((OOC: I don't think godrods actually work too well against fleets, as they tend to move around. Unless the rods hit an individual ship, they'll be disabled by water, if I remember correctly.))

OOC: I was fairly confident that I had decimated your fleet with flying colors. Please, what do you still have left that survived a feckin' huge onslaught.

In International Waters off the Coast of Route 1


A Jiangwei class Frigate maneuvered around as Task Force South Wind came closer to Route 1's territorial waters. An engagement was expected to take place with Route 1's forces any time soon, with the ships purposefully sending in wireless signals and radio waves of garble to harass Route 1 civilian and military shipping. If Route 1 attacked, most onboard the East Congaree ships thought they would be lashed back to their shores by the sheer size of the East Congaree Navy's largest task force. From there, they figured they could begin more harassment campaigns, though against ground forces. Several people laughed at their own sadist sense of absurd humor as they sent more garble into the wireless and through verbal messages on the radio. While they were still deep into international waters, they figured the radio waves would begin to leak in soon enough. The wireless signals, they figured, had been beaming into there for a few hours. They continued forth, waiting to reach the Routian ships.

Greali Waters

The Republican Navy continued its overwhelming barrage against the Greali navy. Dozens of Routian vessels were still in good fighting condition and began firing upon the Grealis...

Lulz, since when was I fighting The Grand World Order? Can we just start the landing now?

OOC: Not until my fleet is gone.
IC:

The Greal fleets began to pull away. They had suffered devastating losses. Under the cover of more aircraft coming from the mainland, they began to pull out. Another battleship went down with all hands. More Hellion missiles from the mainland rained down on the enemy fleet.

Meanwhile, the massive Greal ground force prepared for a d-day style battle.

After a week of travel, Talon was ready for action. They already had the coordinates of the Routeian fleet, and had readied three orbiting attack satellites for a godrod strike on the enemy fleet.
In the meantime, the AM-4Ns were being equipped with harpoon AShM systems. Their larger cousins, the F-14Ds were being armed with laser-guided bombs and AAMs to ward of enemy fighters.

From the sea was the 3rd Fleet; which was made up of all North-Point built vessels. The combined firepower of these ships would be enough to sink the whole enemy battle-group if all the missiles hit; although it was highly unlikely that the entire barrage would hit it's mark. However the it was estimated that about 70% of the missiles would strike the enemy ships.

It would be easy to see the opening missile launch from the enemy fleet, and that was the point. The Cazelian navy had recently adopted a 'shock-and-awe' mentality, and intended to test it on the other side. At 7:01 AM, the task-force commander gave the order to launch the missiles. At exactly the same time, the entire fleet activated their VLS pods and let their' cargo seek their targets. The time it would take to hit the enemy would be roughly 60 seconds. At that time the carriers had already launched their air-wings; it would take them 340 seconds to get in range of the remaining ships with their Harpoon missiles.

As soon as the missiles were launched, the F-14Ds took off. Minutes later the subsonic AM-4N aircraft were catapulted into the sky.
It was going to be one hell of a morning

*Cough*

Aboard the ECWS Catfish


The Captain of the ECWS Catfish, Rear Admiral John Thurmond, prepared to make a venture with Task Forces South Wind , Spot, and Black Grouper towards Greali waters to assault the Route 1 fleet in that region. Plans on how to deal with Route 1 had changed, and thus they made a turn away from the direction of Route 1 waters towards Greali waters. In addition, another task force was formed in Charleston to head in the direction of Greali waters and attack the Routian fleet there. The East Congaree Navy saw the Grand World Order's intervention as slowly approaching, and thus bulked up the amount of forces they were about to send to the region.


Task Force Indigo


X1 Iowa Class Battleships

X2 Arleigh Burke Class Destroyers

X12 Galveston Class Cruisers

X12 Jiangwei Class Frigates

X12 Jianghu Class Frigates

X15 Whiskey Class Submarines

Assorted logistics ships.

The Republican Navy lost a few more frigates from the Greali land-based attack, but the outcome was clear; Route1 has won the first battle of the war. Routians cheered and jersted as they fired at the fleeing Grealis. Aboard the Routian flagship, Admiral Beuford watched as his naval technicians began plotting on the huge map display.

"We have enemy missile sites in vectors 25-48, 14-82, and 52-58. Requesting a sustained bombardment against aforementioned positions." reported one of the men as he marked the Greali missile positions.

The Admiral stepped to the board and replied, "Understood, you have my permission. Once those sites are out of commission, pepper the enemy coastal defense positions...."

Remaining Iowa Class battleships, frigates, and missile cruisers began releasing hundreds of cruise missiles. The larger ships with cannons unleashed a devastating barrage of shells targeted at the Greali missile sites. Lighter ships, such as the corvettes fired long range Tomahawk missiles and RBS-15 missiles at the enemy coastal defense positions such as enemy troop concentrations and bunker positions.


Attack against missile sites
Tens of thousands of shells
1,984 Tomahawk missiles

Attack against bunker positions
1072 RBS-15 missiles
9,028 Tomahawk missiles

Approaching the Republican Fleet, International Waters


Aboard the ECWS Catfish, 20 MiG-29s carrying two 140mm rocket pods were readied to make an assault on the Iowa class battleships of the Routian fleet. They would attempt to destroy combat ships providing anti-ground support, which would make it difficult for the Routian forces to land. In addition, twenty MiG-21s on the Thurmond had two 140mm rocket pods each, all ready to be aimed and fired upon the remaining Iowa class battleships. Five MiG-17s from the Featherston were thrown in to provide confusion with their 37mm cannons , which could still inflict a significant amount of damage on support ships. They all took off, making their approach.

The enemy Tomahawk missiles however ran into some resistance. LY4031 missiles were being fired at the incoming Tomahawks. Many of the shells fell short since missiles sites were out of range, and Hellion missiles were long range. Thousands of anti-missiles missiles, including Patriot and LY4031 were being launched to destroy the Tomahawks. Despite all odds, plenty of the Tomahawks were destroyed, but many of them also reached missile sites, detonating missiles. Plenty of bunkers were destroyed, but there were so many along the coast.

OOC: Route1, please respond to Cazelia.

OOC: I thought everyone wanted to destroy me....>____>

The admiral of the Republican Navy read the new report in the command bridge concerning hostilities between the LION and Hegemony alliance. Greal, being a staunch member of the latter alliance, is one of many targets of the LION warmachine. Once the LION fleets approach Greali waters, the admiral will make sure to keep positive relations with the LION. Both Route1 and the LION share one thing in common; the hope for the destruction of Greal. The admiral would be willing to offer his navy to assist LION operations in taking over the imperialist state.

With no retaliatory strike on the Routian vessels, the Republican Navy continued its barrage against Greali coastal defense positions. More and more missiles were unleashed upon the Greali positions in an effort to soften up the beachheads for the expected invasion.

Before the Cazelian navy even began their strike, the Republican Navy knew of their approach. Idle Republican Naval vessels and aircraft not involved in the shelling of Greal were tasked with destroying Greali and Cazelian satelliete systems. Hundreds of RIM-161 missiles, designed for anti-sat capability, were launched with Routian aircraft firing ASM-135 missiles. With Cazelian satelliete networks down, targetting Routian units would be extremely difficult.

OOC: I request take losses, Route1. Missiles exist for a reason

(OOC: This thread was made before LION invaded the Hegemony, so this invasion is still on, but in the not so far future, LION is invading. But LION currently has nothing to do with this RP.)

Actually, this is happening while we are gearing up to attack. So he could still be attacking while we get here.

OOC: Greston is right; I could still be attacking Greal and I could meet up with invading LION forces. And Cazelia, you made one post saying that you moved your fleet and attacked. No. You did not give me ample time to actually reply before your missiles already were let loose. That's a no-no. I already saw your fleet coming so my aircraft and naval vessels attacked your sats before you launch missiles to mess your tracking and targetting up. That is realistic, no? Now please response accordingly.


Greal, please post losses on the coast.

OOC: I said the missiles were launched, and showed the time. I'll remove the bits about the aircraft if you want though

Fort Mokan, Sasha

"General Vasquez, we have incoming flights from the mainland, it appears as if the rest of the 8th army is coming to reinforce us."

"The entire 8th Army is coming here? Get me in contact with Generalissimo Yuri."

Soon phone calls were being made, flights were being scheduled, planes rerouted. Both Fort Carson and Fort Mokan would be reinforced with nearly a million men. If need be more could be flown in. With massive Ilyushin Il-76s and even some of the recently purchased C-10 Minotaurs flying in, landings were calculated to get one plane to each fort every 20 minutes, just as another was taking off. The planes were under escort by Sukhoi Su-35s armed with R-77 Adders and Kh-55s in case of ship combat. However since Mokastana was considered a neutral in the Route1/Greal war, any attack on the Mokan reinforcements would be considered an act of war.

Meanwhile in Fort Carson LY300 Missile launchers were arming and preparing in case of combat with the enemy fleets. With 100 of them stationed at the fort and 14 Cruise missile tubes each that meant 1,400 missiles could be prepared to fire, 1,000 were LY4045 anti-ship missiles, while the other 400 were armed with LY589 “Hellion” cruise missiles.

They sat and waited to hear the final presidential speech

Bump for Greal to post losses, respond to second bombardment, and for Cazelia to RP satelliete losses.

OOC: Greston is right; I could still be attacking Greal and I could meet up with invading LION forces. And Cazelia, you made one post saying that you moved your fleet and attacked.

Greal, please post losses on the coast.

OOC: You were inactive for ten days before you made a post, by then LION was making its declaration. So, the LION fleet is RL ten days behind.

OOC: You were inactive for ten days before you made a post, by then LION was making its declaration. So, the LION fleet is RL ten days behind.

...No. I was not 'inactive' for ten days. During those ten days, I had been shelling your defenses without you or your ally's doing squat. Now post your losses.

OOC: And ten days of fighting isn't much to chatch up to.

...No. I was not 'inactive' for ten days. During those ten days, I had been shelling your defenses without you or your ally's doing squat. Now post your losses.

OOC: Well, I posted last on July 21, about ten days later, you finally posted just in time for the LION invasion. I may have to ignore one of these invasions, because I am confused about what is going on.

And please respond to Cazelia's missile attack before I post my losses.

OOC: No ignoring. Me and Barronia are talking to LS and by tommorow there will be a different thread up for each different invasion.

One for you, one for Cazelia, the original for LS, and one for the Waldo-MU-LS thing.

I finally posted in time? What? The only thing I was doing was already bombing your defenses. You were doing nothing and did not post. That is no one's fault but your own. And Cazelia's post was wankish; giving me no time to effectively counter his assault. I am not making an IC post until you post your losses which you already should have been doing since I first bombed your positions and Cazelia and I sort out this problem. In the meantime, I suggest that you give some loses and possibly IC response.

OOC: I've been doing nothing? I have been blocking most of your Tomahawks from reaching my missile sites. And just for a mention, my missile sites aren't exactly placed on the coast for everyone to bombard.

Losses: Several thousand bunkers destroyed. Thousands of Greal troops dead or wounded. One town on the coast has been decimated.

Thats easy for you to say, I'm the one being invaded here.

I'm tired of being invaded and may ignore this invasion if I get uneasy.

It is starting to get hard for me to say. Especially when your reasoning for ignoring is "I dun wanna ge invadid!!!!!!111!!!!one11!!1one!1"

It is starting to get hard for me to say. Especially when your reasoning for ignoring is "I dun wanna ge invadid!!!!!!111!!!!one11!!1one!1"

OOC: *sigh* Yes, I am getting ridiculous. But seriously, I am getting tired of this.

OOC: But people still aren't getting tired of invading you, so you may need to put up with it a bit longer.

But after our war, there will be nothing left to invade......

With Greal proper under siege, Routian military planners gave the OK to send yet another Republican Navy, this time of smaller size, to invade the Greali colony of Watson Island. Centered around a powerful Nimitz Class Aircraft Carrier, the 2nd Republican Navy set sail towards the Greali colony...

OOC: Saw from your sig. Map plz?

OOC: I do have a map, buried somewhere....I have to go look for it.

Each of my colonies are guards by a naval fleet, though Grunt and Lasom would be much harder to take.

OOC: Greal is ending up like Iraq being invaded by a mass of nations. And sad you are just a 2007 nation, I don't see what is such the commotion, obviously, they all just want a slice of your lands.

Good luck =P

Republican Naval forces began another barrage against Greali defensive positions along the coast. Such targets include bunker networks, railways, and coastal towns.



-----------

In the Greali colony of Watson Island, the Republican Navy began firing long range harpoon missiles at the enemy flotilla. After the primary barrage, tomahawk missiles were next to be launched. Hundreds of them were targetting Greali warvessels, in an attempt to rule the seas of the Greali colony.


OOC: For this part, I am assuming that the Cazelians are satelite-less...

With the Cazelian invading navy in missile range of the 1st Republican Navy and Routian satellites already giving the Routians feed of the Cazelian positions, Route1 was already expecting the Cazelian missile launch.

Once Cazelian aircraft got into range, RIM systems began littering the sky with missiles. Routian aircraft patrols, already in the air, began unleashing Sparrow and AMRAAM missiles. Republican naval vessels which were not partaking in the bombardment of Greal began countering the Cazelian missile launch with patriot missiles as well as a complex array of CIWS units. A few ships went on the offensive, and began firing Harpoon missiles and tomahawks at the enemy fleet.

OOC: Greal, post losses please. I;ll begin the landing next post. and I am sorry if I missed it, but ORBAT Cazelia?

OOC: My part in this war is to back up the GWO.


Approaching the Routian Fleet

The five MiG-17s were prepared to rip through the Logistics ships with their machine guns, and thus cut off the supply to Routian forces. The MiG-21 and MiG-29s still prepared to fix their unguided rocket pods on the Iowa class battleships. Back at the carrier force, 10 MiG-21s and 10 Mig-29s took off with two unguided 125kg bombs each, of which they would drop high over the logistics ships, hoping that one would hit from a thousand meters up. The MiGs with the rocket pods planned to pass over at just 300 meters, while the MiG-17s planned to pass at just 105 meters.

Republican Naval forces began another barrage against Greali defensive positions along the coast. Such targets include bunker networks, railways, and coastal towns.

The Greal fleet was not caught by surprise and it was ready by the time the Route1 fleet arrived at Watson Island. The island was mostly mountainous, and was unsuitable for most tanks. The Island received reinforcements from Grunt because Greal was too far away. Four hundred thousand troops dug in on the island and prepared to fight to the last man.

Two unlucky cruisers who were outside the defense screen plus three destroyers became targets and were on their way to the bottom of the ocean.

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

Meanwhile, the massive Greal Home fleet, reinforced by ships returning form the Deserted Territories war, and survivors of the previous battle, had finally ventured out. The fleet stretch out for miles, and was protected by anti-missile destroyers. It then launched a massive missile strike unto the Route1 fleet off the coast of Greal, which was war-weary. Twelve thousand Hellion cruise missiles plus ten thousand more from the mainland were launched. These missiles would surely crack the enemy fleet.

Generalissimo Yuri stepped off the C-10 inside the large complex known as Fort Mokan, his army, the 8th Army, aka the Drunken Grealites, was now getting into full battle mode. Armor and supplies were being flown in as fast as the air force could ship them. Men were running around taking care of business making sure that the fort was ready to hold the 2 million plus being deployed. It could barely hold 100,000. Outside Sasha camps were being set up and temporary bases set up to give Mokan units the ability to remained stationed here.

In front of him the C-10s nose opened up to begin unloading the LY4A1 Wolfhound MBTs inside, it was a tight fit but it was also a good way to get tanks to battlefields in hours rather then days. Once the tanks were off they would be refitted with slanted armor and deployed to their respective units.

Yuri stepped away from the plane and towards a Humvee that had been waiting for him, he took a swig of his flask of vodka and drove to the command bunker. Routian forces would have a fun time once they landed on Greal soil.

The Commonwealth's Red Banner Fleet steamed towards the Greali fleet. At it's center, the flagship, FSS Agamemnon's Wrath towered over it's escorts. Nearby, it's sister ships, Boudicca Revenge and Mjollnir's Blow had already begun launching combat aircraft. The CAP was comprised of F/A-18E/F Super Hornets and R-MO1 Rafale's. Farther towards the outer edges, the battleships Concordia Ultima, Maxima, Proxima and Regalia positioned their turrets. The numerous missile cruisers and destroyers had the casemates of their missile pods opened as they prepared for combat.

In the CIC of the Agamemnon, Fleet Admiral Vassily Chernenko looked at the status displays and monitors.

"Send the signal to the Greali's and to the fleet."

From the battleships, signal flares were launched in a diatonic sequence. It was unsure whether or not the Greali or other forces would understand, but the message read, "The Commonwealth stands with Greal." The message was also sent on a wideband radio signal to all forces, Greali and otherwise.

From the decks of the fleets amphibious carriers, the 3rd and 5th MEFs were launched, taking off via CV-30 Vogels and amphibious landing craft. As cover, AH-1Z Viper attack helicopters launched, as well as Marine Rafale's.

Another Il-57 landed on the airstrip, Generalissimo Yuri watched as the massive planes would land immediately taxi off the main runway towards a larger central area where they would be unloaded and the supplies raced off the runway. To another runway where they could taxi to a take off again. These massive parking lots made up about half of the total base. Surrounded on all sides by heavy fencing, concrete blocks and, of course, AA guns.

Generalissimo Yuri looked out of his window at the IL-57 with binoculars to see what was being unloaded, hopefully it was what he was waiting for...

As the back opened up and the forklifts raced in to start pulling crates out and load them on the back of the trucks he could see by the size of the items that it was exactly what he was waiting for.

"LY589 Hellion Advanced Cruise Missiles, 10,000 of them I do believe was the order."

"Yes Generalissimo Yuri, you are referring to the emergency shipment of them to Greal Forces, right."

"Yep, I want those missiles on Greal trucks and being distributed ASAP. This should help them for the moment."

Commonwealth Expeditionary Force Headquarters, Greal
(100 miles from Ft. Mokan)

Major General Mikhail Terchikov walked from his command tent to the men assembled before him. They were part of the 3rd and 5th Recon, who would be the spearhead of the Commonwealth's peacekeeping efforts.

"Gentlemen," his deep and gravely voice addressed him. Immediately, the assembled men snapped to attention, "Gentlemen, we have come here, to Greal, not as conquerers, but as liberators and protectors of the peace. Each one of you has come of your own free will, and to those who have reservations about their duty here, you're free to stay behind. The rest of you; you'll be hard chargers and fire-pissers! Anyone who has the balls to mess with a Commonwealth Marine will be shown due justice! Bring the pain to those who wish it. Give mercy...to those who ask for it. We do not fight for our own lands...but for the lands of others, who are in need of just and noble men to champion their cause. There will be casualties, for this is war. We've dealt with casualties, we will deal with casualties, but we will always make sure that their casualties are more than ours. I cannot promise all of you will come home alive, but I swear, no man will be left behind and we will come home together! Oo-rah!"

"Oo-rah!" the Marines roared in unison.

Meanwhile, the 3rd Red Banner Fleet joined with it's larger cousin. At the center, five ocean liners were loaded with the Ground Defense Forces 1st Army. Another message was sent to Greal, "The Commonwealth and Greal; *Curahee!"

*'We stand alone together.'

[OOC: Tell me if this is MT or PMT. At either rate, if it is unacceptable let me know.

35785 km above Muscovy, Stoklomolvi, Space Station Kirov

The main command centre regarding Greal, Stoklomolvi Orbital Command Station Kirov, was a major hub of Stoklomolvi activity regarding the Route1 invasion of Greal. From there, the command centre was in a geostationary orbit. However, there was no reason to fear enemy attacks, primarily since the command centre was of little importance to any ground affairs. However, the command centre maintained a largely Stoklomolvi type dominance over the area, as the station commanded a fleet of several hundred military satellites. The majority were stationed inside the command centre itself.

After many months in dormancy, the satellites came to life as they roared out of the station, heading in the direction of Greal at high speeds. When Route1 missiles were detected by the "killer satellites", anti-missile satellites were launched from the specialised satellites. Other satellites detected naval vessels, and began to move in to complete a kinetic bombardment of the ships using random objects, notably tungsten rods. Others lobbed cruise missiles, while yet others still launched ICBMs.

OOC: Greal, I'm still waiting on your beach ORBAT and losses...

OOC: Read post 109 carefully.

OOC: Read post 109 carefully.

OOC: I have and I fail to see where you posted your ORBAT of your beach defenses and casualties on the shorelines.

OOC: I posted the shoreline losses in the last page.

ORBAT:

3,000,000 Soldiers (3rd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th armies)
600,000 Marines (1st Marine Corp army.)
4,000,000 Militia and reserve.
100,000 Tanks
50,000 artillery pieces
10,000 aircraft

2,000 coastal guns

Two more questions

1) I began another bombardment against your positions which is why I asked for updated losses.

2) Your ORBAT; are your losses meant to be in evens? The chance of decimating your defences down to numbers that are divisible by 10,000 is a bit lulsy. Unless of course this is your ORBAT before the two bombardments in which case, could you please update. I need to see what I am going up against before I begin the landing.

OOC:

Losses:

Forty thousand Greal troops dead or wounded.
Several thousand bunkers destroyed or damaged.
Sixty aircraft destroyed.
