Vladimir Orlov, the president of Drvarska was sitting at a large round table in the war room of a secretive Drvarskan governmental building. He was looking over a folder marked "confidential" which contained invasion plans on Habajan. His military generals sat around him waiting eagerly to hear what plan of action he was to take. A few minutes went by and Orlov spoke.

"Gentlemen, it seems that we are to go forward with Operation Eagle. An all out invasion on our hatred enemy of the Habajan."

He paused. The Nation of Habajan has been a Drvarskan enemy for hundreds of years and fought in many past wars. 100 years ago was their last war which ended in a truce as the fight became a stalemate. Now the corrupt nation ruled by a facist dictator has been supporting Drvarskan enemies in recent civil wars. It was now time to end this growing threat once and for all.

"It shall be a tough invasion but our equipment and military has grown more advanced than theirs. Over the past ten years Marshall Haman, ruler of Habajan has entered a military and weapon build up. His weapon industries have been mass producing small arms mainly to arm their militia in time of war. Although what is mainly being produced are AK-47s, G3s, RPK-74s and M-16s. Their current military strength has reached 2,600,000 soldiers and countless militia estimated at 3,200,000. With barely an air force of two squadrons of attack helicopters and no navy it should not be a problem to take out this threat."

The General of the Army stood up to continue as he walked over to a map displayed by a projector.

"We shall have 3 main invasion points. We will be landing at 3 beaches, each with a force of 1,000,000 men. We are sending a total of 3,000,000 men to knock out their forces. We have trained them with the latest equipment including the new XM-8 Assault rifle and Leopard II tank. Our naval force has already been prepared and just 1 hour ago is en-route to Habajan..."

The generals continued to listen and some writing down notes and ideas on the invasion. The General continued.

"However, there is one propblem. Marshall Haman has posted his main I Army near the city of Iraqan which is one of the targets for one of our forces. We need to knock out this threat quickly and effectively... a nuclear strike."

The staff grew silent and one dropped his pencil. The General of the Air Force stood up.

"Is there no other way? Why not just carpet bomb their forces?"

"That would be a waste, the army has blended in with the civillian population just outside the city. The Typhoon class submarine D-19 is currently within range of Habajan and is prepared to fire a SLBM with a payload of 550kt of enriched uranium. This is enough to whipe out nearly the entire army and the city of Iraqan, the projected total of casualties is 12,000,000. It will be a dark day and civillians will die but it will greatly help our invasion."

Orlov stood up

"We will invade tomorrow at 0800. Untill then gentlemen I suggest you start making plans on inland assaults. I have a good feeling we can knock out these facists and get rid of this threat."

The meeting concluded.

------PLEASE READ------

This thread is open to everybody but they must follow these rules:

1. Stricly non-NBC Warfare (No Nuclear, Chemical and Biological weapons)
Even though Drvarska is using a nuclear missile, this was used to start the war and no further missiles will be fired. This is a reason for those willing to support the Habajan.

2. There is a limit of 1,000,000 soldiers you may deploy and please keep armour, aircraft and naval ships at a logical level. (Eg. no 1,000 Battleships or 10,000 Fighter aircraft)

3. You do not have control on any other nation other than your own. Habajan is Rp'd by Drvarska unless allowed for another nation to control. This is strictly applied any rp of Habajan and Drvarska will result in the ignore cannon.

TO: Drvarska
FROM: Kingdom of Lynion, King Xiahou

We have heard of your cursade and we wish to join you in the fight. However, we are frankly sorry to state that there'll be soldiers of ours coming to aid you because you seem to be combating a force smaller than yours. We don't see the point of aiding you if the nation your attacking is smaller than yours.


Edit: Just realise the troops I intend to send haven't come home yet.

((OOC: Rigged much? You've got it so that no more than a million troops can come in, yet you've easily got over 5 million going in, plus the masses of nations willing to fight the "evil" Fascist nation (Yes, I'm a Fascist in RL), who has less forces than your nation and is RPed by you.

I'd love to come in on Habajan's side, but I find the war rigged, as said before.))

OOC: At the moment its pretty even. Habajan has over 5 million soldiers including militia. If you choose to send 1 million well trained and equipped soldiers it will make it alot harder for Drvarska to fight with 3 million. I may reduce the forces that may aid Drvarska but for now I wish to see how this goes.

To: Lynion
From: Drvarska

We appreciate your support and that it is most welcome for you to fight with us. There is no need to send too many men as the situation seems good and that the Habajan will be an easy target. Once again thank you for the support.

Re: The Invasion of Habajan

We Volzgradiens find your noble crusade just and agreeable. If your military allows us, then we will be sending a total of 20,000 troops to aid your forces in crushing the pitiful nation of Habajan. United we will crush Habajan under the iron heel of liberty and freedom!

Signed,
Vasili Kavinkov

OOC:

Here's Mr. Good guy, leaping in from the sky to kill all the terrorists without a scratch. Hope this'll be good, your last RP was. How long do you want this to last? I hope someone helps the other side, otherwise it gets to easy, eh?

IC:

Halverson rested the big wad of papers on the table as he sat down next to the Prime Minister.
This was an official meeting, and there were officials taking minutes, which would probably be burned if ever the operation failed. No-one wanted to take the blame nowadays, especially in the modern society of endlessly bereaved mothers and lawsuits.
The two lines of faces that met him were stern, except for the Minister of the Interior, Kraft, who seemed too jovial to be a politician.
Nevertheless, he was here for the same reason the others were; the Antigran High Parliament was assembled and the subject of the day was war.

Halverson, the Minister of Defence, was sat next to the Prime Minister on his left and the Minister of Foreign Affairs on his right, and the fate of soldiers and nature of letters home was in his hands. The Prime Minister had always said he was a good public speaker, however, and he launched straight into the well-rehearsed script. He was speaking in English rather than Antigran, a germanic language, by legislation for these meetings, but everyone spoke both and they would have no trouble understanding him. He began to speak in his tainted Antigran accent.

"Now, I trust you have all heard of the intelligence report on Drvarska, and of the nature of this meeting. They are, as you are aware, planning an...invasion, of sorts. From the votes, pretty much all of you think it personally reasonable; for sure, none of you liked what happened in their civil war and this is the revenge. Drvarska is still recovering and it's time to finish the game.
I propose simply to offer them a little aid military aid. A few marines dotted around, couple of cruisers here and there, maybe the odd howitzer. Supporters of the notion?"

A chorus of Ja and Yes sounded out as the cabinet voted. The majority had it, and there was no minority.

ANTIGRAN DIPLOMATIC TRANSMISSION
The United Royal Kingdom of Antigr






To: Vladimir Orlov
From: The Antigran High Parliament

Greetings once again, Mr. Orlov.
We will make this communique brief - we wish to offer you military support in your campaign against this old enemy. Both our countries experienced your civil war and it is time to end it's causes once and for all.
The Royal Antigran Navy is large and has worldwide patrols. Two divisions of marines, almost forty thousand men, is at sea, with further garrisons and deployment forces based in Antigr and in overseas territories.
Our key advantage will be our navy, one of the world's greatest, which can land a complement of marines and provide massive inland gun and missile lethality.

Up to 74,000 Marines and Army troops can be deployed, excluding special forces and Air Force field regiments, and not including non-combat troops, which may amount to well over twice that.
I and my cabinet seek to put to end this enemy of yours and all that fought to your aid in the civil war and we want to assist you in your bid to do the same.

I eagerly await your reply and intelligence on Habajan.

OOC: Good to see ya again Antigr, I wanna see if this will last for a while. I really need someone to send a lot of aid to Habajan. We shall see how this invasion turns out.

IC:

Vladimir Orlov sat reading over telegrams sent by noble countries. He read through the telegram sent by Volzgrad, and wrote down a reply.

==============

To: Volzgrad
From: Vladmir Orlov, United Citizens Federation of Drvarska

We greatly appreciate your support and that your force shall fight gallantly alongside our Force B in the southern sector. May we see victory!

Vladimir Orlov

==============

He next picked up another telegram, recognising the Antigran seal, he started to smile.

"Ah Antigr, our comrades have decided to fight with us yet once more."

==============

To: The United Royal Kingdom of Antigr
From: The United Citizens Federation of Drvarska

We are humble to see that once again our comrades fight with us to crush our enemies. We are thankful that you are willing to send a large force to aid us and that we look forward for them to fight bravely with Force A. May we see great victory!

Vladmir Orlov

OOC:

I'm surprised Alfegos hasn't noticed this by now. Then we'll have the gang together and we can do some thirty-calibre looting and pillaging. Aaaaaaand fighting for democracy and all that.
On a seperate note, my typing style has changed. Italics will probably either mean one of two things - someone on the radio or someone speaking in Antigran. In this case, Antigran.

IC:

Heavy Cruiser S.R.F. Yttermojärv
Rojhelm Straights, Southern Geranger Sea, Overseas Territory of Geranger


The cruiser was one of the navy's newer cruisers. She had only been assigned to Geranger East Naval Base for a few months, and was out on patrol following resupply and re-crewing.
The first officer was out on deck, supporting himself against the twin 140mm guns of the A turret. Behind A turret was the smaller B turret housing twin 75mm guns and behind that the bridge.
Inside the bridge, orders were coming through rather fast.
From his Colonel friend in intelligence, the Captain had surmised that the government was going on a crusade again.
it had all happened rather fast. First there was the defence minister holding a few bits of paper and the next the Antigran Grand Fleet and the 2nd and 9th Oceanic Fleets were being deployed, along with two army divisions and what must be half of the marines.

The Yttermojärv was part of the lattermost, the 9th Oceanic Fleet, one of the newer fleets, but still with a proud history dating from 1937.
The first officer noticed a marine transport in the distance, to the west, and remembered he'd seen it on radar on the bridge. Looking through his binoculars, he spotted it escort of two destroyers.

"Jonatan!"

The captain's voice broke the eerie calm and he turned round. The captain had his head sticking out of a window, and seemed rather excited. So excited, that he'd forgotten to use the tannoy. Hauling himself up from his perch, the first officer groaned and jogged over to a ladder. Mounting it fast, he climbed up to B turret level, and then up another ladder to the flat front of the bridge.
Climbing around a machine-gun, he finally entered the bridge.

"Ja?"

The Captain began speaking excitedly in Antigran.

"It's big, really big. We're changing course to two-seven-three and heading to meet up with the 5th Destroyer Flotilla several dozen miles away. Then, we pick up another cruiser, a helicopter cruiser, a light carrier, three transports, rendezvous with the 2nd Submarine Flotilla and join elements of the Grand Fleet sailing from Killinki, Ovsjo, Stjarnöhämn, Ingelstorp, and Jons-Erskolen, namely three fire-support ships and nine fleet carriers.
Then pick up the gunfire-support cruisers at Volmjov - the old ones with the automatic-loading rapid-fire eight-inch guns, which will be fun - and then join the main fleet"

The Captain took in a gasp of air and handed the orders over. The list, and it was a generalised list, of friendly forces merely to pick up along the way was massive. He doffed his hat and walked down to the navigations room.

From: Prezydent Solek Jasonovyč
To: Vladimir Orlov

Dear Comrades,

A war raged between my nation and the nation of Kurzhivsk for most of last year. We were invaded, and a neutron bomb was destined to be dropped on our capital, Boryslav. Fortunately, our scientists had been working on advanced weaponry for a long time, in total secret, and we had a chance to survive.

The bomb never went off in Boryslav, as the Tupoljev aircraft carrying it was brought down by an air-based particle cannon. It crashed before it left Kurzhivsky airspace, and landed in Dhor, a city in the industrial heartland of Kurzhivsk.

There was almost a ninety-eight percent chance that the bomb would not detonate; in any case, we did not wish for it to crash in a populated area. However, no fewer than two-million people died, and Dhor became a ghost town, simply because the bomb had a faulty "trip wire" system and detonated when the plane went down.

So, we know firsthand the evils of nuclear weapons, and the one you speak of using, an actual nuclear bomb will not only wipe out a city full of civilians, but the fallout and the firestorm will spread around the land for many hundreds, even thousands of miles.

When we managed to break the Kurzhivsky invasion force, we used a "Blitzkrieg-style" tactic, and arrived at their capital city in a matter of weeks; we wanted their government to pay for their crimes, and for the people to know who really wiped out Dhor. Their propaganda-filled news agencies had told them it was Solyhniya, but by spreading the truth about their government, most people of Kurzhivsk turned against them ane rebelled; around five-hundred thousand of their soldiers formed their own splinter group and helped us take back the city.

My point is that wars can be fought without nuclear weapons. For a long time, Habajan and Kurzhivsk were launching black ops against us and our allies, and although we have stamped out Stalinism in Kurzhivsk, the war is not over yet.

We wish to send an expeditionary force to Iraqan. We promise to neutralise the city in three months, in an effort to prevent more innocent deaths from a nuclear strike. By using our own propaganda, we will expose the crimes of the Habajan government for all to see.

Please state your response, either through telegram or other means.

OOC: Sorry to say Solyhinia but nobody as of yet knows that Drvarska is using a nuclear weapon as explained in the first post was confidential. Everyone will however know once it detonates. Habajan is a nation I created and is just a corrupt nation ruled by a dictator.

========================

IC:

The I Flotilla was now within range of the shores of Habajan. Leading the fleet was the SS "Orlov", a Overlord class Super Dreadnought which has seen service in many operations throughout Drvarskan history. This massive ship was the first to unleash its firepower with 8 30" and 12 other 12" and 18" guns as well as 60 firestorm missile launchers loaded with HE rounds.

The Habajan coastal defence was in for a big surprise as the barrage began destroying everything on the surfrace near Uza where Force A will land.

D-19 Typhoon class Submarine
120 km off the Habajan coastline

Commander Gorbachev was looking over a transmission sent by Orlov himself. The crew watched eagerly as the man read it, he spoke.

"All crew to missile firing stations, level the boat to launch depth."

Quickly the crew scrambled and rushed to their stations knowing what was going to happen. The Submarine reached launch depth.

"Arm and deploy Missile 1"

Slowly a RT-2 Topol SLBM rose slowly out of a silo on the submarine with a warhead containing 550kt of enriched uranium. The crew also drew on the side of it "From Drvarska with Love", a sick but morale boosting joke.

"All we need now is the go from the President." Gorbachev said.

The Crew watched the radio operator and transmission officer in silence.

The Crew watched the radio operator and transmission officer in silence.

The senior Spetzpol surveillance officer jumped out of his skin as he saw the missile rising from the submarine. Calling ranks of staff, he had messages and orders passed, and within five minutes, Prezydent Jasonovič was looking at the same spy satellite images as Officer Vasiljuk.

"Good God, they're not actually going to do it, are they?" Vasiljuk did not change his facial expression.
"It looks like they are. After we offered aid, they're still going to do it."
"Damn it! We can't let them raze that city."

Prezydent Jasonovič pulled a satellite phone from his pocket, and dialed a number. He then asked to speak to President Orlov, claiming it was urgent...

OOC: Sorry mate, we're rather notorious for spying, and if there's a nuclear submarine within SLBM distance of a major target, then what are supposed to expect? We don't know the target anyway.

OOC: Once again Solyhinya, you could not have known about the nuclear missile in the first place due to it being confidential, but I will however go along with this.

IC:

Vladimir Orlov ordered a radio transmission to be sent to D-19 to fire the SLBM. It would take two minutes for the transmission to get through as it must go over a very secure line and frequency which takes time. An officer rushed into the room holding a phone.

"Sir, you have an urgent phone call from the nation of Solyhniya."

"Very well" Orlov said as he picked up the phone.

"Yes?"

=============

Force A off the coast of Uza

Commander Zeitzev was in the leading troop landing craft briefing his men.

"Alright comrades, we are about to land on the beach. Once you get off head for the road that is 200 meters away, there we will engage the enemy in heavy fighting. Do not threat, our enemy is ill-equipped and lacks experience but they still know how to fire a weapon. Remember your training and I will guarentee you that you will survive."

The troops on board the craft yelled out in honor and the craft approached shore already recieving rounds from RPK-74s and PKMs. It was a matter of minutes before the craft hit the shore and the troops stormed the beach. Tanks were loaded onto craft as well and charged alongside the troops, already recieving casualties as the enemy fought hard using D-30 artillery and T-72 tanks. The battle raged on for an hour before the Drvarskan soldiers could reach the road and continued to fight.

"Very well" Orlov said as he picked up the phone.

"Yes?"


"Orlov, I'm sorry to admit it, but we've been watching that sub of yours
for weeks. We know you're at war with Habajan, and funnily enough, this very second you appear to launching an SLBM. This is worrying; our experts say that you are in range of three major cities. What the hell is going on?"

"We are at war with Habajan and in order to strike out their Royal Army group near Iraqan we need to use a nuclear weapon. I realise the civillian toll but this is vital to our invasion and its a toll we must take. The orders have been sent and the missile is scheduled to be fired in.... 1 minute. Im very sorry Prezydent Jasonovič, you are a very noble man for seeing this."

"We can offer a different solution. We can take the city guerrila warfare. Our men our undoubtedly the best at it. The radiation spread by the strike will hurt your own men as well!"

"Our men are well out of range of the blast and radiation zone. The SLBM is to detonate in a rural area 20km from Iraqan but the shockwave will level the city. There will without any doubt still be survivors and we will send in troops to maintain the area. Im sorry Jasonovič but the order is going ahead."

At that moment he waited for a status report from D-19.

============

D-19

Commander Gorbachev received the order from the president. The crew looked on with great excitment and the rush of adrenaline.

"Arm Missile 1." he said.

"Missile 1 Armed." The Weapons officer replied.

"Launch missile on my mark... Launch."

At that moment the missile lifted out of the silo shaking the boat and its crew.

"Missile 1 Launched, Comrade Captain."

The crew let out a cheer and roar.

"And so it begins..." Gorbachev sighed.

The SLBM glided towards its target, only a matter of two minutes before detonation.

The entire Spetzpol office seemed to darken with gloom, as if the magnificent light of the missile's afterburners had fed on the light of their souls.

"Which way is the wind going? The fallout could spread anyway, perhaps even into the Antigran fleet, God forbid."

The SLBM reached its target and as radar operators watched their screens on board the sub and at the Drvarskan Intelligence Base. The large white flash spread throughout the screen and slowly disappear into fire. The city of Iraqan burst into flames and slowly the buildings were leveled to the ground as the shockwave passed through.

Vladimir Orlov recieved the report.

"SLBM has detonated sir." the radar operator reported.

"Very well, prepare Force C to land." he replied to his Chief of Staff.

"Right away."

Vamperial Knight Commander stepped into the quiet room as he stood tall while the holographic device came online. He watched the room expand in his mind as he stood in the middle of room surrounded by others.

"Vamperial Knight Commander Mavis Davis," started a Vamperial Headmaster Knight. "Give us a detail report of the current situation,"

"We are about 100 Nm from Drvarska and will be reporting to their commander in a moments time after this transmission has being sent," started Mavis.

"One moment," started another Headmaster. "We've stated that your men are to fight under your leadership and no-one else's. You are to be given breifings of where the troops are to go, but under no orders are you to fold into one of their units,"

"Yes master," replied Mavis. "We'll therefore send a transmission stating we have arrive. The aerial fleet is above the clouds until further notice. Headmaster Knight Lee,"

A second hologram appeared which was the hologram of Vamperial Headmaster Knight Lee.

"What is the matter?" he asked in his icy voice.

"Have the engines being perfected?" asked Mavis. "Would they be able to abosrb medium arms fire?"

"The new engines and its armour can absorb up to 8 High Powered Heat Seeking Rockets before they take damage," explained Lee. "However, don't count on that report, we don't know what the Habajanians will be using as rockets,"

Mavis nodded his head as the transmission ended. He took a deep breath as he went into the radio room next to the holographic room.

TO: Drvarskaian Forces
FROM: Vamperial Knight Commander Mavis, Kingdom of Lynion

I wish to state we about an hours flight from your country and I wish to be inform of what the plan is against Habajanian Forces.

The Prezydent put the phone away and adressed his War Cabinet:

"...yes, but we must wait. We can send Stormtroopers in to the radioactive zones but only after it has cleared enough. Firstly, we need to find the intelligence bunker in Iraqan. Again, we'll have to wait, and again, we can send the Stormtroopers in, but we need more intel."

Vladimir Orlov was pacing around the war room looking through intel reports and contact transmissions. He picked up a transmission sent by Lynion and read through it.

"Very good, send this message back to Lynion." Orlov said to his radio operator.

==============

To: Lynion
From: Vladimir Orlov, Drvarska

We have been informed and that we would like to direct your forces to our Force A where they may roam independently. The only orders we will instruct upon your forces is requests for assisstance if needed. For now if they could help reserves and supply move through the lines in Force Group A. We will also like to instruct your forces to do anti-partisan duty in occupied areas which are vital to our invasion.

Sincerly,
Vladimir Orlov

==============

Orlov began to pace again around the war room. He walked over to his head of intelligence where he secretly talked to him.

"I want this to be clear, if the Solyhniya are to be involved. I want you to take care of them, use whatever you have. They must not cease any of Habajani territory or interfere. Understand?"

"Yes sir, quite clearly."

"Good"

Orlov resumed reading reports.

"They what...?" demanded Mavis in a high voice.

"The telegram came through and it clearly state we are to escort supplies to vital areas and act as peace-keepers in key cities they've taken," said the operator as he looked at an enraged Mavis.

"Send a reply stating we'll escort their supply lines and keep the peace in occupied cities for the time being, got that?" snapped Mavis.

"...Ye...Yes sir!" replied the operator.

TO: Drvarska
FROM: Imperial Lynion Forces

We have accepted the orders for the time being and will be doing supply running escorts and being peace-keepers in occupied cities.

Orlov appreciated the reply and sent one back assuring that they were to see plenty of action for their eager troops once they arrive.

To: Lynion
From: Drvarska

We have confirmed you have recieved this order and that your troops will see plentiful of action in occupied areas. Habajan citizens have commonly been known to revolt and form resistance.

Sincerly,
Vladimir Orlov


===============

Force A

The troops made it to the outskirts of Uza and engaged in urban fighting. The use of armour and air support was very effective to help troops clear the town block by block. The battle continued to rage on.

Casualties:

Drvarska:
805 Soldiers KIA
505 Soldiers WIA
24 T-90 Destroyed
8 Leopard II Destroyed

65 T-72 Destroyed
75 T-55 Destroyed

==============

Force B

The troops landed on the beach and began to engage the heavily defended Habajan. Artillery was called in from warships to take out strongholds clearing a path to allow tanks and troops move freely and move towards the town of Bakan. The Drvarskan troops suffered high casualties as the Habajani took them by surprise with dug in machine gun pits and artillery emplacements.

Casualties:

Drvarska:
1,052 Soldiers KIA
858 Soldiers WIA
48 T-90 Destroyed/Damaged
10 Leopard II Destroyed

"Sir, there's being reports of rebellion in the cities we're meant to occupy," stated the operator as he read the telegram.

"Haha! Well, it seems either side has gotten use to seeing us," shouted Mavis on the bridge. "It seems our landing zone hasn't being secured and it seems that if we send in a couple of Dingo Fighter Squadrons and a pair of aerial assault cruisers as the spear-head, we might have a landing zone,"


Airspace over Uza

"This is Hammerhead Spear Squadron to all friendlies in the area, we're coming so heads up," said Captain Sherlock on the Aerial Assault Cruiser Perth.

OOC:

So, fleet sailed in, maybe get some greetings? I take it I'll just drive onto your beachead and go pillage?

IC:

S.R.F. Tirsdäln
Somewhere Near Habajani Territorial Waters


She was painted black with the blood-red waterline providing a dim contrast as it ran a single, narrow line along her length. She was the Tirsdäln, one of the larger Hunter-Killer submarines in service with the Royal Antigran Navy. The two waterjets were slowing as the nuclear-driven turbines powered down under the orders of the captain.

"Depth under keel"

"157 metres, Captain"

"Boat depth"

"Level at exactly ninety-six metres"

"Rise to snorkel depth, both turbines one-third ahead together"

"Ja"

The submarine began to rise. The Captain had raced at intermittent bursts of flank speed to get to this location so fast. Now, he was sure the Drvarskans had detected him; certainly, they'd be expecting an Antigran fleet anytime soon, and he had sent out some reassuring messages if ever they decided it'd be fun to launch a missile at him.

"Scrap the previous order. Surface the boat, both turbines half ahead together. Bow planes twenty degrees, aft planes fifteen"

Maybe he'd spook some of the Drvarskan navy men. Antigran submarines were quiet, if anything, and he wouldn't be overly surprised if he'd crept up on them. Whatever happened, the list of Antigran ground forces was definite, some already on transports and amphibious ships, the rest being deployed. There was the 18th Royal Air Cavalry Division, amounting to about fifteen thousand men, experienced men having served in Danteri, Dephire, Colstream, Cyncia, and all the other conflicts since 1962.
Then there was the 3rd and 6th Marine Divisions totalling nearly 19700 personnel each, as well as the 21st and 40th Armoured, the 2nd, 17th, and 71st Infantry, plus the 57th Motor Rifles from the regular army. In all 170,643 personnel, 85,210 of which combatants.


S.R.F. Dannemark
Antigran Grand Fleet, Two Hundred Miles From The Tirsdäln


Fleet Admiral Hallestrøm paced on the bridge of the battlecruiser. She was a ship for the modern age, despite her class name, and wasn't much bigger than the gunfire-support old heavy cruisers that the fleet carried. She packed five fifteen-inch guns, all forward, one lower triple turret and a higher double, as was the pattern.
She also had major command fittings and was kitted out as a flagship, serving the Grand Fleet well over the past fourteen years, and having seeing twelve amphibious landings, this was just another day at the office.
He checked the distance and yelled to a Lieutenant.

"Have the Drvarskans noticed us?"

"I don't know, sir. Probably, seeing how comparatively close we are"

"Well, send more communications. And keep sending until they acknowledge. Understand?"

"Yes, sir"

"Tovaryšč Prezydent," muttered Vasiljuk. "the Drvaski have already torn Habajan apart. People are running scared, and we still need that intel. The Drvaski may have destroyed what we needed from Iraqan, but there are other cities left. We need to get in and out of their intel bunkers. We have a few in the centre of the island, and admin offices in the capital. Send the stormtroopers NOW, before the firestorm. If necessary, we could grant their government freedom in Solyhniya in return for..."

"NO. Those men will suffer for their crimes, and I know Orlov wants to give it to them. In fact, that's a brilliant idea...

"Vasiljuk, find the Habajan president, or his family, the prime minister, all of them: we're going hunting."

Force A
(Uza)

"Copy that Hammerhead spear, you may engage hostiles in the southern urban sector of Uza. Caution, hot area with enemy armour and anti-aircraft. Over and out."

The Drvarskan troops continued to plunge into the city, they hope to take it by nightfall.

===============

SS "Sokolovska" Kirov Class Battlecruiser
(20km from Habajan Shoreline near Force A)

Captain Venska watched the submarine surfrace 50 meters from their boat. The personnel were already awaiting for it and were lined up neatly alongside the port side at attention standing on the bridge, gun turrets and main deck. Venska called out on a loudspeaker as he saw the men emerge from the conning tower of the sub.

"We were wondering when you would surface! Weve been watching you for an hour now." he said jokingly. The Drvarskan detection systems have evolved greatly since the last time Antigran forces have been with them.

A small motorized boat was sent out to the sub to retrieve its commander and discuss matters of invasion onboard SS "Sokolovska". In the boat was the XO accompanied by 4 guards equipped with XM-8s.

Fleet Admiral Jovek was sitting in the captains chair onboard the SS "Drvarska", an Overlord class Super Dreadnought (one of the most deadly ships ever served by the Drvarskan Navy). He recieved a transmission from the Antigran fleet and replied.

To: Antigran Task Force
From: Fleet Admiral Jovek, I Flotilla, Drvarskan Navy

We have confirmed your position and transmitted co-ordinates of our landing zone at Force A. We could use your forces in this sector secure Uza and push along the Northern coast of Habajan.

War Room

Orlov glanced at his reports and then turned to his Intelligence general.

"What news of the Solyhniya?"

"Nothing sir although we have put Bomber Force Group II on patrol near their coastline. They will never detect these stealth bombers and they have no right to attack us as the patrol along the international water border."

"Very well. I want you to activate Force X, they must be used if they were to interfere."

"Yes sir."

The Intelligence general thought about the last time Force X was used, during the Alfegan conflict they were sent as black ops into the Alfegan homeland to rescue a downed pilot with valuable information. They were successful but lost brave men in this mission. These black ops are among Drvarska's most elite and veteran units. Details of this Force is highly classified.

"Copy that friendlies," replied the captain. "Areas hot and we have no LZ. I purpose we send in an armour squad,"

"Belay that order," shouted Mavis as he entered the room. "We have five aerial assault cruiser's that haven't be baptise yet so I suggest we baptise them in the Fires of War,"

"Alright sir," replied the captain. "Orders to Homeland, Warload, Destoryer, Ashton and the Azzam make us an LZ,"

Onboard the Warload

"Copy that Atlantis," replied the captain. "This is Captain Edward, all hands to battle stations prepare for an assault,"

The aerial assault cruiser came alive as the wheels of the warship moved the heavy cannons to face the innocent surface that was bathed in bloodshed and destruction. Orders were given as the gunnry crews went to their stations as eight heavy battle cannons on each assault cruiser joined in on a heavy barrage.

Captain Edward looked down onto the surface as the barrage was kept up. It was followed by straffing of Dingo and Hunter Fighter Jets that took off from their aerial aircraft carriers.

"AA battery just opened up and fire two missiles," said a voice on the radio.

"Damage report!" demanded Edward.

"No damage and we're returning fire," replied the voice.

Edward watched as the Cyclonic Bombers started a carpet bombing.

'May God forgive us,' thought Edward to himself.

Jasonovyč had refrained from addressing the nation until (if there ever would be) the right time to do so. He was finishing a cup of instant Boršč in the underground War Room when a worried Senior Komisar Vasiljuk hurried in with a file in his hand, out of breath:
"Tovaryšč Preyzdent, Greek tourists holidaying on the Kurzhivske More have been reporting UFO's darting in and out of clouds, even this very second. Some managed to take photographs. I have them here, but they're very blurred."
"I presume you'll let me in on the relevance soon, so let me see them." ordered the Prezydent. He was handed the file, and was taken aback.

Turning to one of the RADAR personnel he ordered an enlarged image of the Western and Southern coastal regions of Solyhniya and Kurzhivsk.
"I thought they were military jets, and just look at the RADAR. There's nothing! They must be stealthed, but the only way they could avoid our detection is to fly low, which means they're preparing a strike! Find out where this are coming from, see if you can contact the pilots of the aircraft. I know it's unlikely, but they could be training, and thus have not heard our airspace-warning. Scramble all regional stealth fighters, and I want H.A.A.R.P. activating. Worst comes to worst, and they'll simply have toencounter a 'vicious storm' and it will be nothing to do with us."
"I'm on my way sir."

Afterwards, the concerned and assertive Prezydent asked his advisors for some ideas as to where the planes had come from. As their suggestions entered his ears, turned into electrical signals and were processed in his brain, he pondered hard.

Lieutenant Steiner of the 8th "Germanski" Division, III Kampfgruppe was leading a group of men through a street in Uza. Using modern day tactics they moved along a few buildings and noticed a Habajan Army flag hanging from a pole in front of a small fenced off building. He ordered his men to storm the building and they used flashbangs and stun grenades to clear it out. There was no casualties and they rounded up 12 Habajani soldiers and 2 officers as prisoners. The report was sent in to Drvarskan HQ and they were ordered to hold their position. The rest of the division began to move by and they were well within a safe sector.

An hour later two trucks turned up with "SS" runes printed on the side, these men belonged to the Drvarskan SS (Schutz-stafel) Force. These were elite and loyal Drvarskans, although throughout history there was hatred between them and the army. A officer emerged from a jeep that followed behind in a clean uniform and holding some papers. He approached Lt. Steiner.

"I have orders to take these prisoners." he said.

"Very well, we shall continue on patrol." replied Steiner.

"Actually as ordered, I am to hold you here for questioning. Order your NCO to take the group forward and meet up later."

"Ok" Steiner said and he motioned for his platoon leader to take control and for one of his soldiers to remain with him, Pvt. Zimmerman was a good friend of Steiner.

The group moved on and out of sight leaving them. A group of SS soldiers equipped with AK-47s piled out of one truck, the other truck was loaded with supplies. Steiner looked on suspiciously and spoke.

"What are the prisoners going to ride back in?" he asked.

"Nothing" replied the SS officer and ordered his men to round up the prisoners.

They were taken over a wall on the side of the street in a group and told to wait there while they were talking. The SS men backed off slowly leaving the Habajani soldiers in their group, suddenly the SS opened fire slaughtering the prisoners. After the fatal massacre, a SS soldier checked the bodies realising one was still alive he pulled out his M9 and shot the man in the head. Steiner and Zimmerman looked on shocked and the SS officer spoke again.

"As you see Lieutenant....?"

"...Steiner you murdering pig!" Steiner yelled and took the safety off his XM-8 and aiming at them, Zimmerman did the same. The SS soldiers responed and all 10 of them rushed over aiming their AK-47s, there was a long silence.

"Who gave such an order!?" Steiner said.

"That would come from General Polkska, Steiner. Now lower your weapon, you are not worth it.... Army, theyre all the same."

Pvt. Zimmerman lowered his weapon and made Steiner lower his.

"Please Herr Leutnant, let us go and away from these murderers." Zimmerman said.

Steiner turned his back and walked away with Zimmerman following behind. The SS piled back into their trucks and the officer back into his jeep, they drove off back towards the reserve line.

International Waters near Solyhniya

"This Jet 325 awaiting orders base camp." said the pilot of a F-117 Nighthawk.

"Jet 325, copy that. Orders are to proceed into Solyhniya territory for aerial reconnaisance. Over."

"Roger that base camp, over and out.... This is Papa wolf to group, proceed on me for aerial photographing. I repeat, proceed on me for aerial photographing."

The Aircraft proceeded at a high altitude over Solyhniya territory seeking out military bases and defence systems, they were given strict orders not to engage unless fired upon.

"Start landing the troops," ordered Mavis over the radio.

The force landings were successful thanks to the barrage of the aerial cruisers and the small carpet bombing from Cyclonic Bombers. The transport carriers came under fire as the troops rolled out in APC's and Tiger Tanks as the fighting became dense.

In one building, a Lynion Hunter Captain lead a squad of eight and swept through the building as they captured two officers and a handful of rebels. The captain came out with his prize as the major congulated his efforts.

"Cuff the POW's and knock them out cold so they don't escape," ordered the major as the Lynion's secured an LZ.

"Yes sir," replied the captain as the order was granted by the Regulars.

The prisoners were fitted into a prison cell which was lifted onboard an aerial transport carrier. In the mean time, the Lynion Tiger Tanks met with little resistance as the Imperial Lynion Forces secured the landing zone. A Lynion Hunter placed the Imperial Lynion Military Ensigma which was a black coloured werewolf with vampire fangs, hellish coloured eyes, and on a red background.

"This is Major Heat of the Imperial Lynion Ground Forces, is there any friendlies nearby over?" asked the Major into a radio as the gunfire was starting to go distanced.

Dionysios Popodoupolos was standing on the beach with the rest of the Package-Holidayers, watching the black shapes on the horizon, when there was a crescendo coming from behind; the sound of an engine nearing, then coming to a halt. He put his binoculars away, letting them rest on his fat, Hawaiian shirt-covered belly, and turned round, to see a black 4x4 up on the dunes. Four men in black got out, two with binoculars, one with a large black box and another with some kind of stick.

After a few seconds of staring, he and his family were shocked from there skin with a terrible, but faint roar coming from the sky. He saw the black shapes gaining size in the sky as the roar got louder.

He totally missed the military personnel on the dunes; one was tapping numbers into a black box, and another, pulled a cord from the stick, and it began to glow very bright, while the other two got back in the 4x4.

Within an instant, the beautiful, idyllic seaside scene was swamped by torrential rains, and an ear-piercing thunder boomed across the landscape. The roaring of the black shapes was still getting louder as they flew towards the beachhead.

Suddenly, Popodoupolos's "Heineken" parasal exploded as it was struck with lightning. The sky glowed and burnt white, as lightning struck the landscape. As a physics teacher, Popodoupolos knew that he would be safe inside his car, as it would act as a "Faraday Cage". He grabbed his three-year old son and his wife by the arms and jumped into his rented Ivano "Corsair", and helped anyone without a car cram into his.

The lightning was followed by 130mph gales, the sky shrieking ever more violently.

OOC:

How does this weather thing of yours work? I know a few have been tested and how they work, but this is a mystery. Besides, I doubt that anything that small could cause anything that large. Link me, please.

S.R.F. Tirsdäln
Drvarskan Fleet


The Captain, Birkeland, grinned as he saw the Drvarskans. Well, no day was perfect. A warrant officer and two seamen were already standing on the deck and he climbed down the ladder along with his first and third officers, while the three men threw a line to the motor launch.

"Welcome! I take it you want us to join your captain, Ja?"

Looking behind him, the two Lieutenants had joined him, one carrying a submachine-gun. Birkeland motioned for him to leave it behind and he handed the PT-3 to a seaman.


S.R.F. Dannemark
Antigran Grand Fleet, One Hundred and Twenty-Three Miles From The Tirsdäln


The transmission had been recieved and an acknowledgement sent, along with the message that Antigran ground troops would begin landing at the Drvarskan beachead that very day.
Indeed, forward elements of the 14th Oceanic Fleet, carrying with them a fleet carrier, light carrier, and the 57th Motor Rifles Division was much nearer to the beachead. As could be expected, they had been announced by transmission and he wouldn't be surprised if the Drvarskans could see them by now. Whatever happened, they were to stop as close as possible to shore without the risk of beaching or loss of maneuvarability caused by being near beaching hazards, while the Battlecruiser and old fire-support Heavy Cruiser they also had smashed any enemy targets within range of their guns and missiles to pieces.

Not only that, but the carriers had been given orders to launch their flights of DD80 Lightweight Fighters to assist Drvarskans on the ground. The first DD80 shrieked off the flight deck of the light carrier, followed by more, twenty-eight in total from both the carriers. Armed with some AAMs and a great deal of Air-to-Ground weaponry, they only await orders from Drvarskan command.

Approximately five hours until the 57th hit the beaches.

Dionysios Popodoupolos was standing on the beach with the rest of the Package-Holidayers, watching the black shapes on the horizon, when there was a crescendo coming from behind; the sound of an engine nearing, then coming to a halt.

Secondly I did state that these aircraft were at a high altitude, you would not be able to look up and see these stealth aircraft make such a noise. They fly at very high altitudes beyond the human eye that can see them.

Near Lynion forces at Sector A

A column of SS trucks lead by a jeep moved into the Lynion landing zone. Hauptsturmführer Winkler got out of the jeep in his neat dark grey SS uniform bearing the SS runes on his colar tab, the other side was marked with a skull and bones symbol recognising the "Totenkopf" division. Winkler is a seasoned veteran of past conflicts and he was presented with many medals and cuff titles which he wore proudly on his uniform. He approached a Lynion officer with two SS soldiers beside him armed with AK-47s.

"We are here to take the prisoners."

===============

SS "Sokolovska"

The motor launch was boarded by the Antigran officers and were taken back to the battlecruiser where on the deck they were greated by Captain Venska.

"Gentlemen, its good to serve with you again. Please follow me to the officers mess. We will discuss the invasion there."

They walked along the deck as the crew made a salute and the guards snapping to attention with their rifles by their side.

In the mess they sat around the table with a map of Habajan layed out and some refreshments by the side. Once seated Captain Venska spoke.

"So, my commander suggests that we make a naval bombardment at Sector B near Bakan before pushing any further. Perhaps you may want to send a few troops here although we already have 1,000,000 in the area."

TO: All Forces in the Drvarska-Habajan War
FROM: Kingdom of Lynion, Vamperial Knight Commander Mavis and Vamperial Headmaster Knight Vamp.
RE: Change of Duties.

Due a recent development in conflicts along the border, Imperial Lynion Forces are asking for all nations involved in this conflict to reconise that the Imperial Lynion Forces are acting as peace-keepers from now on. We are no longer a fighting force but we are here to stablise the border between Drvarska and Habajan.

We also wish to state to all forces that surrender to us, will be treated according to WA Laws and our own POW Laws. The POW and WA Laws being forced onto this are as following:

1) POW's have the right to shelter, fresh food and clean water. This doesn't include any luxury including alcohol and smokes will be limited to one pack a day.

2) POW's have the right to fair medical treatment and all POW's will be tested for diseases, sickness, virus ectra. If any form of what has being stated has being found, they will be vacinated and means will be taken to make them better.

3) POW's won't be inflected with torture unless its a life and death situation such as there is a bomb in the camp. If they give us information by volunteerly, they'll be thanked and given an extra dose of rations.

4) POW's will be sent home to their homelands after the conflict is over or their homeland is secured. This goes out to all nations involve with the conflict.

5) These conditions are also extended to Habajan Forces as well.

"Do you think they'll respond to this message?" asked the captain to Mavis.

"They will," replied Mavis with a smile.

On the ground

"Our roles have changed suddenly by High Command and by those codes and laws, our prisoners stay with us until further notice," replied the Major. "If you have a problem with that, then ask Vamperial Knight Commander Mavis for them,"

Just as he was talking the prisoner ship was starting to ship out to open waters just as the last of the equipment was unloaded. Four Vamperial Knights armed with assault rifles flanked the Major as they watch the SS troops.

OOC: I'm not saying too much, but it's a cross between two systems invented by Nikolaj Tesla in the early Twentieth Century. It's very old technology (technically xD). Another clue, the black box is not causing the disturbance, it's just a radio, mate.

OOC: Sorry for double posting, the first was my response to Antigr. No, seriously, it's very old technology. Realistically, in the MT we'd have better stuff, but I decided not to make anything up, since that, it could be argued, would not be MT. Secondly, in order for a stealth bomber to avoid radar, it has to be flying low.

Besides, for now you're safer flying low. DW, I'm sticking to MT rules as with all others.

Besides, for now you're safer flying low. DW, I'm sticking to MT rules as with all others.

OOC: I am not familiar with Tesla designs but I do know there is no such technology that can rapidly change weather. You would not usually see a person with a glowy stick change the weather, im sorry. Please I insist that this is to be changed.

Sector A
Lynion Forces Landing Zone

The SS officer was given strict orders to retrieve prisoners and he will not let the Lynion soldiers get away with it.

"Stop that transport! I must see to your commander, this is urgent matters of the SS." Officer Winkler shouted. The SS soldiers began to approach, there were 70 of them in total, all with the traditional weapon of the AK-47.

OOC: I am not familiar with Tesla designs but I do know there is no such technology that can rapidly change weather. You would not usually see a person with a glowy stick change the weather, im sorry. Please I insist that this is to be changed.

OOC: I never said it was the stick. That's obviously some kind of flare.

EDIT: I will always explain a weapon I'm going to use somewhat before I use it. It's basic RP conduct, especially since I don't have a factbook yet. However, I see no need to totally lift the veil on all my technology, since militaries don't do that, and that's equally bad RP.

RE: Cause for Conflict?

Sir,

I have been tasked by my leader, Empress Taunja I, to ask exactly why you have entered into this conflict. We do understand the nation of Habajan has begun a military build-up, but is this truly sufficient evidence that they were making preparations to attack you? Perhaps we don't have all the facts, but it would seem to us an attempt at diplomacy would have been appropriate.

For now, my nation will not participate in this conflict, and will simply adopt a neutral observation posture.

Regards,
Robin Eames, Imperial Diplomatic Representative, Imperial Federated States of Romandeos.

*Somewhere off the coast of a small Habajan island.*

As night settled, the red glow from the other side of Habajan could be seen from the black Ivano aerodyne on the horizon, and distant yet thunderous thuds echoed, disrupting the stillness of the air. The large yet quiet helicopter was about one kilometre from the island, having been launched about one hour ago.

The entirely Solyhniyan crew consisted of a pilot, a co-pilot, a navigator, two gunners and an engineer. The other seven men were sitting on the edge of their seats, ready to rappel down and assault their given target. All of them were wearing ushanki and outfits of black. One had a short-wave radio, and was evidently the comm-officer of the commando team.

*About one hundred yards from the island.*

The radio at the front of the aircraft flickered and spoke:
"This is Hive, repeat: this is Hive: you're cleared for E.M.P."

The co-pilot waved his hand, and the first gunner proceeded to pull a lever. A flash burst from the right-hand wing of the aerodyne, and an A.G.A.R.M. rocketed towards the island, exploding in an even greater flash underneath a plateau.

"Alright let's move, let's move!" yelled the team's Polkovnyk: "Remember, ідіть за мною!"

"No more transport carriers are to land anymore," ordered over the radio Mavis. "It seems our allies reckon we can't look after prisoner's anymore,"

"Copy that Commander," replied the Major on the ground as tension's were growing between the allies. "I've got orders to allow you to talk to Commander Mavis via radio,"

The Major turned around while during a stretch and notice the transport carrier with the prisoner's had vanished.

'Can't see why we can't take prisoner's,' thought the major to himself as he handed the radio to the SS Officer.

"This is Commander Mavis," started a voice on the other end. "You must understand we're folded into one of your units nor do we take orders from you. Kill any of my 60 men on the ground and we'll turn against you now you don't want that do you?"

OOC: Thank you Romandeos. Let us continue this RP.
@Solyhniya - Please refer to the map I made of Habajan on the first page. There are no islands and I have got no idea where you are sending these black ops of yours and if you intend to assassinate the officials of Habajan I would like to know where you aqquired the intel.
@Jimzraway - Considering you have a population of 9 million, I doubt you have this type of military available. It is great to see a nation help the Habajan but I would be greatful if you resized this to your nation statistics.

Habajan has long been our enemy and we have had a history of wars between us. Throughout the years they have supported and supplied arms to rogue nations and rebels that fought against us. We have set out to invade this land to neutralise this threat. You are welcome to observe.

Lynion Forces

Winkler spoke to the Lynion commander.

"With all due respect Commander Mavis, the prisoners are to be taken into the matters of the SS for interrogation purposes. We do not intend on shooting your men, we demand that all prisoners be diverted to us and that your men are to return to anti-partisan duty."

The SS men were seperated to the Lynion soldiers and there was a silence between them.

OOC: Better -.-?

"Well that's too bad about the prisoner's because they are being kept safe for the time being," started Mavis. "I don't take orders from Drvarska Command and you must understand that and that includes prisoners we capture. If you have a problem with that, your government leaders should've asked us about it but no they didn't. If you intend to engage any of my men don't think we'll extend the POW conditions to your men,"

The major looked around as the Tiger Tanks and Lynx APC's gathered around while the Hunter's and Regular's regrouped.


OOC: Hold on, Drvarska hasn't explained to me how he found out about the prisoner's I took. Would you explaining that to me?

OOC:@Solyhniya - Please refer to the map I made of Habajan on the first page. There are no islands and I have got no idea where you are sending these black ops of yours and if you intend to assassinate the officials of Habajan I would like to know where you aqquired the intel.


OOC: Sorry people, I hate OOC as much as you do, I just need to explain this. No, watch the story pan out. I'm not hunting officials atm, since it's your secondary nation and I'd ask you first out-of-play.

I also assumed that, with the geographically archipelagic nature of Habajan, there would be a few islands around. I'm sorry for not before making clearer its positioning; it's about two miles off the North-West coastline, and is the smaller brother of a trio of islands. It is only about seventy yards in diameter, it is eliptical, and there is a small plateau on it. The only plant life are things like lichens and grass. Please pm me if there is anything else you're not sure about, or add me on MSN, and we can Live-Rp.

IC: The aerodyne hummed over to the tiny island, and as the commando team prepared to rappel down, the cargo door opened. The Polkovnyk abseiled first, followed by the other four Cossacks operating Prospekt VK-7 assault weapons, including the comm-officer. Then went the final three, one with a Spashkov A-12 Automatic Shotgun and an assortment of pouches and equipment, the others with scoped Prospekt paratrooper rifles.

The A.G.A.R.M. (air-to-ground-anti-radiation-missile) had flown towards to radio signals being given by the bunker, nestled neatly inside the plateau. The E.M.P. (electro-magnetic-pulse) payload should have knocked out all electrical equipment, at least for a few hours until it was repaired. Now, the bunker's surveillance and distress equipment would be rendered useless. The Polkovnyk was trusting this plan with the life of his men, and was confident that the intelligence data to be collected from this place was in Solyhniya's hands.

OOC: We do need to cut down on OOC.
@Solyhnia - The positions of bunkers and enemy structures is determined and decided by the RP creater, in this case Drvarska. Please next time send recon which I will respond to or send me a TG and I will give you a position in Habajan. I will allow this for now but would be much helpful next time.
@Lynion - My apologies, I should have explained it but I assumed reports were made and that Drvarskan command picked it up over the radio.

IC:

Bunker 206, North-West Habajan

The men in the Habajan bunker were startled as the missile hit the side the southern wall. Men scrambled to their feet and grabbed their weapons which included G3s, M-16s and AK-47s. The Bunker Commander Captain Hamud ordered his men to man the machine gun covering the entrance and set up positions, he stood behind a wall with a Uzi in hand.

=============

Lynion Forces

The SS officer handed back the phone with a grim look on his face, he motioned a signal and all his soldiers began to board back into the trucks. He spat on the ground before climbing back into his jeep and driving off. He turned to his orderly in the seat next to him.

"I want a sniper set up in this area from III Gruppe. Make sure they are not to be seen by the Lynion." he said.

Two hours later, Sgt. Vogel and his spotter Cpl. Schultz took up a position on a large hill overlooking the Lynion landing and supply area. It was almost impossible to see them as they blended in well with the bushes using their gilly suits. Vogel had with him a Barrett 50. Cal sniper rifle while Schutz had a XM-8 with a ACOG scope and silencer attached.

Ruler of Habajan

Thermal imaging was showing movement around the bunker; the small blast from the missile had also blown away some of the soil and foliage, exposing the concrete underneath. A door was visible, as well as a long black slat.

The second gunner yelled back to the cargo hold:
"Tovaryšč-Polkovnyk, there's tangoes on the ground. Thermal imaging is showing that they're stacking up behind the door and behind the slat, repeat: they're stacking up behind the door and behind the slat."
"Fly back out, and then round: we'll drop in above the plateau and frag out. The E.M.P. must have shut down their manual defences."

"Keep the platform clear but have Hawkins keep our boys below covered," ordered the captain of an AA platform.

Hawkins had a high powered sniper rifle and lay against the deck of the platform as he over looked the supply route. The rifle's barrel was covered in rags so that the metal wouldn't shine against the sun light as he scanned the area. He looked down on the landscape as a cloud went through them. Hawkins turned on heat seeking sight as he could pick up personel on the ground.

Landing Zone

"All soldiers listen to this boardcast carefully," started the major into his ear piece as he went inside to a building. "New orders, no saluting officers but the three and two finger signal. Command was a new landing zone they found just north of the City of Uze, all units are to bugger out when Uze comes,"

Bugging out

The major climbed into a passing APC as he watched the others start to board carriers. The APC climbed into a transport carrier as the major got out through the back as he appeared in the main holographic room in the transport carrier.

"Master Ice," started the Major as a shadowly, deathly cloaked creature appeared before him.

"This city is secured and its time we moved onwards. Our next target is to secure bugger out to the ocean and we'll be providing heavy air support to our friends," started the creature as a map of the border line between the two nations and 50km's of land showed either side of the border. Marked out was a key city or town they were going to take.

"Alright sir," replied Reaper as he studied the map a little better. "So the entire group is moving to this position here. We then allow increase our air force and aerial fleet numbers and gain superiority over the Habajan's,"

"We have some of the best planes and pilots in the region and we're going to show the world we have that ability. There's already several squadrons and Aerial Carrier Squadrons inbound on our position," finished the creature vanished from the major's sight.

The major stepped out as he looked around the radio room as he got onto the radio and called to his forces below.

"We're bugging out for the time being boys," ordered Major Reaper into the intercom. "And we're about to test our air force to its limit,"

TO: Drvarska
FROM: Kingdom of Lynion, Vamperial Knight Admiral Mavis

I've being informed that we hope to put aside our differences including the incident about the prisoner's if we're to beat the Habajanian Forces. Our ground forces are to bugging out and be re-located to a nearby military island Lynion is using as they are to help train a size able landing force in the near future. In the mean time, our air force has being stepped up to 300 to 400 aircraft's and this inculdes a few size able Aerial Carrier Fleets. We intend to become your air support and subdue the Habajanian Air Force to its knees. This will enforce Coalition Air Superiority and grant us good landing zones for us to use.

UPDATE: Imperial Lynion Ground Forces have started to be transported to a nearby military island that the Lynion's will be using as a base of operations.

Bunker 206

Captain Hamud realised why the enemy would be attacking the bunker. He quickly ordered six of his men to stay at the door. It was well sealed and all openings were enclosed with metal plates including the slats. Captain Hamud made a stop by the munitions room and picked up some grenades and C4.

"Quickly rig these to the control center, they must not have possession of these computers." Hamud yelled to his men. He rushed off to his office and started a small fire in a barrel which he constantly tossed documents and folders into.

=============

Orlov was displeased at how the SS failed to retrieve prisoners and sent back a reply to the Lynion transmission. He was a cold man and wanted the Drvarskan Army to step up and destroy the Habajani on their own.

To: Lynion Armed Forces
From: Drvarskan High Command

We are thankful for your increase and support in air superiority. Although this is not required at this time and that Drvarskan Air Force F-35 Raptors have been raiding Habajani air fields. The Habajan do not have an air force, it is made up of attack helicopter squadrons with Mi-17s and few Mi-24s which are being destroyed easily by ground troops using latest anti-air missiles. Sorry for the incovenience.

Near Lynion Landing Zone

Cpl. Schultz spotted the Lynion soldiers at the AA platform and observed one scanning with a thermal sensor. He nudged and whispered to Sgt. Vogel who aimed steadily at the man awaiting his next actions...


OOC:

I am trying to start some Cold War activity with other nations as well as this RP. Just for future RP.

TO: Drvarskaian Forces
FROM: Vamperial Knight Mavis, Kingdom of Lynion

We understand you knocked down their air force but it seems you have being watching us laterly. Our forces are moving south just as this telegram has being sent to secure landing zones of other nations that are coming.

The entire Aerial Armada re-grouped as the last of the transport carriers left for the military island nearby. With new orders, the 3rd Imperial Lynion Aerial Armada was heading south to secure airfields and luanch attacks against the enemy.

The aerodyne was exactly above the plateau. After discussing a plan, the Polkovnyk stood back and the demo expert with the Spashkov shotgun donned a gas mask and rappelled down, and went to ground above the bunker's doorway.

Then, the aircraft moved back round so the cargo bay was in view of the bunker, and the two commandos with paratrooper rifles aimed, ready to fire if anyway disrupted the man on the ground.

Demolitions expert Volkov checked the coast was clear, then crawled down the side of the plateau, and under the gun slat. He glanced back at the aerodyne momentarily before throwing a cyanide grenade into the slat. The grenade would continue to emit the deadly poison for at least another four minutes.

Hearing choking and yelling, Volkov sprang out of his prone position and stood next to the door. He then beckoned to the rest of his gas-masked squad, and they rappelled down and ran towards the bunker.

With himself and two others "stacked up" against the door, Volkov placed charges on the door, and waited for the explosion...

"Have you seen our request for an embassy yet? We strongly feel that it is necessary, and are willing to offer space for embassage in return."

Orlov was shocked at how the Lynion moved on south destroying the enemy. His offensive plans were ruined as he prepared for the II Army to engage the enemy. He sent an urgent telegram back to the Lynion forces. Orlov began to hesistate that this invasion could turn out into a full scale war with more than one enemy.

To: Lynion Armed Forces
From: Drvarskan High Command

We demand that you halt your forces at once, we have this situation under control and that the II Army is moving South. Please return your forces at once to the reserve lines or we will be forced to engage upon you. The purpose of you to join us on this crusade in Habajan is to assist our forces by supply and anti-partisan control, going rogue is an act of treason.

Bunker 206

The soldiers began to choke and collapse as the deadly gas seeped through the metal plates. Two managed to move back to the secondary line of defense by sealing off an air tight door. Captain Hamud heard what happened and he urgently burned the rest of his documents. He then rushed back to the control center where grenades and C4 were hooked up to the computers, he quickly sprayed a hail of bullets from his Uzi into the hardrives in case avoiding the explosives. He retrieved the detonator and crouched in a corner with his comrade armed with a RPK-74.

Mavis slapped his head as he looked at the telegram he was given. He gazed around as everyone reminded him they weren't to take orders from Drvaskan Forces.

"We got orders to aid our allies Volzgrad in securing a base of operations for them, maybe that'll get them off our backs," stated Mavis.


TO: Drvarska Forces
FROM: Kingdom of Lynion, Vamperial Knight Mavis

I wish to state we are NOT following your orders. I've being asked by High Command to aid Volzgradian Forces to land. This isn't an act of treason but extending a hand to a friendly nation.

Tell me, is the Kingdom of Lynion fighting on the side of having all its troops focused on you and you alone? No! I've got my orders and you have your own. If you don't like us aiding Volzgrad, then why don't you send a complaint back to the Kingdom of Lynion itself then?

1700 hours, Somewhere near Habajani Airspace


The massive forms of Venkov and Fulier class Aerocruisers steadily approached the war-torn nation of Habajan. In total, 15 of the massive craft were currently participating in what had been deemed "Operation Sledgehammer". Since Drvarskan and Lynion troops had already caused severe damage on the ground, the Volzgradien High Command had decided to send the Aerocruisers as air support. Unfortunately, several fierce storms had severely slowed the Volzgradien column.

"Damn this storm! We should have been over Habajan 3 hours ago!" shouted Captain Alexei Kuritsan as he peered through the reinforced glass windows on the side of the command gondola. They had been running late, something that all Air Captains dreaded. After hitting the glass for a sufficient amount of time, Kuritsan paced back to his command chair. He sat down quickly and glanced over at an approaching comms-officer. Noticing the Captain's stare, the crewman began to speak, "Comrade Captain, we have received a message from the Lynion forces."

Now interested, Kuritsan stood up and jogged over toward the comms-terminal. He looked over at the nervous crewman who was now hastily putting on his headset. "Well what does it say?" Kuritsan replied impatiently. "It says that the Lynion forces are currently clearing an LZ for us. They are expecting our arrival soon." the crewman responded. Kuritsan smiled, "Excellent, they just saved us a hell of a lot of time." He quickly adjusted his own headset before speaking. "This is Comrade Captain Kuritsan to all units. We have new coordinates set. All vessels are to go to max speed and fall into a column formation."

Orlov was taken aback as the telegram came through.

"This is an insult!" he yelled.

Drvarskans are very honorable people and the intrusion of a foreign power is not favoured. They are must welcome to fight alongside the Drvarskans and independently if the situation was critical but in this time as the Drvarskan Army storms the Habajan they are not willing to let anyone do fighting for them. Orlov turned to his generals.

"There is a landing zone for Volzgrad south of Bakan at Force B, currently in Drvarskan hands. It is occupied by the 61st and 72nd Infantry Divisions to assist Volzgraden troops. This is not but an excuse for these battle mongerors to take the glory of invading Habajan for themselves!" he raged on.

"..Sir?" the Feldmarshall of the SS asked.

"Yes? Come now what is it?" Orlov said while drinking a glass of water to cool himself.

"I suggest we sent the 5th SS "Wiking" Division to flank the Lynions. Send in the 500th and 600th Fallschirmjager Battalions to seal off the roads first."

"Yes good idea, see to it at once."

"Very well sir."

============

An hour later near Lynion forces

Six groups of UH-60 Blackhawks with 12 in each moved over head the Lynion forces, the side of the helicopters bore the dreaded SS runes. The moved on 5km ahead of the advancing Lynions and the soldiers rapelled down onto the roads and secured the area which was currently free of Habajani soldiers. The same Captain Winkler was the first to hit the dirt with his men and set up a line along the road, they were armed with XM-8s and some with the traditional FG-42 paratrooper rifle. They watched as a Lynion column approached, they held their ground spread out in a line.

Bunker 206

Chunks of concrete and metal filled the air, as Polkovnyk Serhijuk ran first into the room, spraying a hail of blue-glowing bullets into one gas mask-wearing guard outside yet another bulkhead door. The other commandos cleared the rest of the area. It seemed it was a sort of a "porch"; with two bulkhead doors, heavily armed (deceased) guards and a camera that prior its engagement with electromagnetic pulse would have worked.

As the team prepared to stack against the next door, explosions and gunfire were heard coming from inside.

OOC: There was no gas-masked guard, but ok.

IC:

On the other side of the door, a Habajani soldier had mounted a PKM machine gun with two piles of sandbags covering two other soldiers armed with G3s. They waited eagerly as the enemy were about to breach the door and their hearts pounding in their chests.

OOC:

Gah, I wish I could get on the forums more often. This is all going too fast.

S.S. Sokolovska
Drvarskan Fleet


Birkeland furrowed his brow, and began to speak in his thick Antigran accent.

"I'm only a Captain, sir. But I can certainly relay this to command; a naval bombardment would be effective, but it would be even more so if we could get accurate spotting. Satellites we have plenty of, so I'm told, but they can see down vertically. I think what we ned, to relay fire correctly, is some scouts. Our marines have such scouts, they are equipped with spotting equipment and that way every last 'hidden' emplacement can be taken out. Our aeroplanes can also do some low runs and take out some Habajani armour. After that, you can take your main force and we'll link up with you.

It'll be a delay but it will be better in the long run. And the fact that the enemy is prepared won't compensate for the fact that they are in pieces"


S.R.F. Dannemark
Antigran Grand Fleet, Fourty-Six Miles From The Tirsdäln


"Admiral, what is the situation?"

"Sir, we have the 57th Motor Rifles and elements of the 6th Marines and the 21st Armoured in place near the beach. They've made contact with the Drvarskans and we've sent them confirmation that we'll land soon"

"Then you have my authorisation, let the landing begin. The Drvarskans have already set up a beachead, we merely need to move inland and cause havoc.
Reports on when the other divisions will catch up?"

"The bulk of the forces will arrive at about the same time, except for the 17th Infantry which, as expected, is having trouble deploying from where it is.
The 17th Infantry hasn't done rapid-reaction duty in one and a half years, they're slacking a bit. Next forces landfalling will be the Air Cavalry"


The Beaches
57th Motor Rifles Division


Private Olson watched the Sergeant as he climbed up and mounted one of the open-mount Oten 25mm Cannons, while the other Oten, further forward in a turret, was manned and the ATGM checked.
He was nervous; he'd checked that his SeG-77 and KKS weren't empty or a round improperly chambered fifteen times just in case he'd smashed the magazine with a hammer or it'd magically dissapeared. The Sarge was oddly calm in the landing craft; there was no gunfire, but the feeling was the same. Once you strap up and step onto a battlefield, it changes you forever. The Captain had said they'd be fine, but he knew there were still scattered enemy forces and he knew that just a few miles ahead of the beach there was fierce fighting.

The landing craft travelled at a steady 17 knots, and Olson could sense the beach getting closer. Then, thud. There it was. As the ramp opened, it seemed improper that there was no enemy mortar or machine-gun waiting for them; just a few Drvarskan army and the birds.
The platoon splashed out from the landing craft and onto the beach, jogging. Any moment now, he expected to be mown down in a hail of bullets from a tank, but there was none. Looking to the side of him, an amphibious vehicle overtook them and up onto the crest of the beach.

Not far behind him, a command vehicle carried in a landing craft was about to hit the beach. In it was Lieutenant-General Franzen, commanding the ground forces. Franzen was a popular general, he liked tobe with his men, and as such, wanted to be on the beach before the moment was over.
Landfall had commenced.

To Habajan Leadership, Purnelia wants to give you aid we have many conscripted troops willing to move in. A complete list of troops is below. We hope the troops will be of help together we can push them back.

200,000 Conscripts mainly AK-47s and RPG's
50,000 Royal army AK-103 and RPG's
1000 T90's
Various support vehicles will accompany and Vehicle mounted stinger land to air missiles. Are troops will be given civillain clothing so they can blend in with the local populace they will arive by sea.

We would lend air support but are aircraft carriers are elsewhere engaged at the mount.

(OOC if this is too much just tell me)

OOC: There was no gas-masked guard, but ok.

On the other side of the door, a Habajani soldier had mounted a PKM machine gun with two piles of sandbags covering two other soldiers armed with G3s. They waited eagerly as the enemy were about to breach the door and their hearts pounding in their chests.

IC:

"Normal door charges won't open this door, Tovaryšč-Polkovnyk. It's been automatically sealed, due to the E.M.P." Volkov had analysed the door well. "We'll have to use a lot of C5, and vacate the whole area when it goes off."
"Copy that."

Serhijuk led his men back out to the exterior, the aerodyne still hovering around. They went prone about fifty yards from the bunker's entrance and waited.

After two minutes, Volkov scurried out and met with his team, with a black detonator in his hand.

Of course when the war is over and you have won you will have to help us, it will cost less than your defeat at the hands of Drvarska.

We request that when war is over we may build a small base and some airspace in the northern part of your country. This will be a refueling station since your country is located midway between one of our bases and a location of our interest. It costs us millions every week to have fuel planes refuel jets everyday. If this is agreeable are forces will be able to reach your country by tomorrow and are submarines are already within missile range of the fleets surrounding you. They will be able to take them out as we speak. Or at least knock out communication between the ships and the ground forces rendering them blind temporarily. The submarines are at a extremely low depths and are using a sonar and visual "block out." So your enemies have no clue what would hit them if you agree.

Agreed, but beware; the Drvarskan troops are intensely well-trained, and both Lynion and Antigr are tearing through our nation ten times faster than our hard-working citizens originally built it.

2200 Hours, Airspace over Habajan Waters

Two, what could only be described as "fleets" of aircraft were approaching Habajan from two different areas. One from the north, and one from the south. The craft themselves were modified 747-400ER planes, all of them carrying the official seal of Jimzraway. Squadrons of Helicopters, bearing the same seal, could be seen approaching. In total, there was about 40 planes coming from each side of the island, and 50 Helicopters from either side as well. As the two Squadrons of Aircraft crossed over the actual body of Habajan, the now modified rear hatches on all the 747's began to open. The aircraft dropped in altitude, and the troops, and vehicles, began to drop out. The force approaching from the North was dropping just above, about 10 miles, of the 3rd Habajan Division,the one from the South just below it. The sky turned white, even though it was dark out. All the parachutes opening in the sky would cause anyone to look. Three of the 747's did not turn back with the rest. They headed for 7th regiment of the Habajan forces, to drop the extra supplies.

As the troops hit the ground, orders were already given. The two drop zones were each about 10 miles wide, and both were on the edge of forests. The soldiers began setting up defensive positions, sand bag encampments, makeshift bunkers, tents began to go up further back, sniper positions were set up in the treeline, mine fields were quickly laid, turret emplacements, anything defensive you can think of, the Jimzraway troops were setting it up. Most of them were armed with XM8 Lightweight Assault Rifles, or the FN F2000 Assault Rifle, and the snipers were armed with OM 50 Nemesis Mk III rifles. All of them had 24/7-OSS-DS40BN-10 pistols as well. Spread throughout the lines were also caches of RPG-29 rocket launchers, ready to be fired at a moments notice. At the Northern force, Commander Wolf was directing things, at the Southern, it was Commander Fox. Two of the most respected commanders in all of Jimzraway. Both of them had a personal, hand picked team of Black-Ops soldiers, all armed with FN P90 sub-machine guns, and Ruger SR 9 Pistols.


As far as the vehicle drops went, the M-1 Abrams were used to help set up the defensive lines, as well as sitting under camouflage in certain areas to get the element of surprise on the enemy as they neared the lines. The M270 Multiple Launch Rocket Systems were set up farther behind the lines themselves, leaving the maximum amount of room between them and the enemy. The Hind Helicopters landed in various spots, clearings, etc; to refuel and check their ammo. They did this in shifts of 10 at a time, until all had been refueled and re-supplied. They then began to circle the areas around the defensive lines, waiting for any enemy attack. Fox radioed to Wolf as this was all going on. "Wolf...you know this is a suicide mission, right?" Wolf's laughter could be heard on the other end of the transmission. Then he spoke. "Just like old times, eh Fox?" laughter again. Fox replied. "Exactly...60 so called "suicide missions" so far, and we're still here buddy. Lets rock!" and with that, they began to wait.

Agreed, but beware; the Drvarskan troops are intensely well-trained, and both Lynion and Antigr are tearing through our nation ten times faster than our hard-working citizens originally built it.

Bunker 206

Hamud was having difficulty burning the intel files. The complete darkness meant that he had to search by torchlight. He had no idea what he was burning, only that it was probably important. He knew at some point, the mysterious soldiers on the other side of the entrance at ground-level would probably burn their way through the door soon, and he would have to surrender. He was determined not to tell them anything important, and was willing to die for his cause.

He wasn't so sure about the technicians, however. The only people with all the info needed to control and access the systems in Bunker 206, he questioned their zeal and their loyalty. They may give away vital information to the enemy to save their own skin.

Hamud had made up his mind. Those technicians weren't soldiers anyway, and whatever was going to happen in the next hour, they would serve their cause. He reached for his pistol holster when he felt the whole complex rock and shake for a split second, before he was thrown off his feet, his head smashing against a desk. The sheer agony would have been enough to steal the man's conciousness.

On the ships around the country of habajan, communication between the ships and land forces began to breakdown. Small instruments that looked like buoys were appearing all over the water near the ships. The "buoys" were actually sending out signals of their own which interupted the ships signals. Even satellites signals went dead as the instuments that were supposed to receive them only received snow. These simplistic buoys were acting as a network, jamming all frequencies and signals that the ships were trying to send or receive.

The communication channels began to clear up for a minute and a voice spoke. "Retreat or face destruction...you will be destroyed...your men will burn in the depth of hell...retreat. You have 2 minute to turn your ships around, this will signify your retreat and we will allow you to pick up your men."

The channels became blocked again as communication on all channels, frequencies and etc. experienced the jamming technology that was being used.

The Subs at the bottom of the sea prepared the missiles for launch. They would be able to surface fire their missiles and retreat back to the safety of the deep. The procedure of having the missiles "on" when the tube was not open was incredibly dangerous.

The midget submarines that had dropped the buoy's quickly made their exit. What had saved them from destruction was that the sonar had been knocked out by the buoys. Visual identification was also almost impossible since they were traveling in the murky waters of the coast.\

A telegram was sent to Hamud. "Give us your current status and location we have the first airload of troops coming in"

2200 Hours, Airspace over Habajan Waters

Two, what could only be described as "fleets" of aircraft were approaching Habajan from two different areas. One from the north, and one from the south.

OOC: Please be aware that forces such as the Antigran fleet will have shot down a gargantuan proportion of your air fleet. Do keep realistic.

The Ivano Tryzub IN-33 - Assault hovering above Habajani Bunker 206 was intercepting some kind of transmission:

"Give us your current status and location we have the first airload of troops coming in."

Proof of Ralkovian involvement had been give, and was neatly packed inside a brown file, on Prezydent Jasonovyč's desk with an hour.

On the ground, the Kozak team had breached the door, and done a lot of superficial damage to the bunker at the same time. Sand and concrete mixed with the eviscerated remains of three Habajani soldiers lay scattered across the ground.

Behind the mayhem was a stairwell leading down. After clearing the area, one of the commandos through another cyanide grenade down the spiral steps.

ooc:Uhh No...Why do I even bother saying that my telegrams are encrypted...does anyone read my posts.

There are something like a thousand nations out there so even if you heard someone say I have troops give me your location and status, you can't say well.....that sounds like something ralkovia would say I guess Ralkovia is involved.

Also I already said that your communication was blocked, how would you even recieve the signal I sent if you can't even pick up your own command.

OOC: First off, they approached from vectors that I don't believe anyone else is in, I could be wrong though. Second, they were at the highest altitude possible before dropping to release the men. But lets just say, that some did get shot AT. As I believe I said in my post, they were modified planes. I didn't specify the modifications, BUT assume that they were basically converted into what amounts to a huge flying tank. Without guns. But even with that, I'm willing to loose 25 of my 80 planes, IF you insist. That still leaves 55 of my planes, which is still a large force.

All OOC: to Ralkovia: why are you bothering to use telegrams in MT and in a warzone anyway? I assumed you meant radio transition, in which case, a government as advanced as Solyhniya's could be able to track it in an hour. Also, you wouldn't know who Hamud even is, but I let that one slip through for the sake of fun.

To Jimzraway: Sure, but Antigr has one of the best navies in the world, and I think they'd have some proper SAM sites in place. Helicopters wouldn't stand a chance. Seriously though, the North-West is a fairly unoccupied sector. If you're attacking from there, it's likely one of your choppers would see my forces...

Gonna continue the IC tomorrow, in the meantime, sort your military advancements out, but do give the other players some time to respond before you land everywhere. Keep the pace slow enough to be fair.

ooc:oh. I was using telegrams because that is what I first sent and what you responded in, sorry.
Also, Ignore my post to helping general hamud then. When I wrote that post I thought general mahmoud and hamud were the same person.

Also, who is on the Drvarska side and who is on the Habajan side. I am getting confused.

OOC: I've got no ground forces moving Drvarska so that was pointless.

ooc:Its going to be a real pain to transport troops...

OOC: I don't the RP being interesting I'm just making a point out.

IC:

Mavis let out a sigh of relief. He sat down in his command chair as he passed the telegram around the bridge. He looked out as he noticed an area that was in enemy hands.

"We got the II Army flanking us but at least Drvarska Forces have gotten off our backs for the time being," smiled Mavis as he bought up the hologram map.

He looked out the window as a Sonic Fighter Jet soared passed them. The telegram was handed back to him with warm smiles on all the operators. Mavis came to the front of the bridge as he watched the operation begin.

"Send two squadrons and two aerial destoryers to escort the Volzgrad Forces, have the aerial cruiser's break formation and start the bombardment and land the 2nd Combine Division," ordered Mavis.

The plan was to punch a hole along the eastern coastline and break through while establishing a beachhead for both Lynion and Volzgradian Forces approaching the coast. This would give the Lynion's a base of operations away from Drvarska and able to make a name for themselves.

Beachhead Omega

"Be thankful we're not seen or treated like sentries, supply convoy escort's or the last unit to be put on the line," said a pilot as a squadron of Dingo Fighter Jets lead the way of an invasion force while the Cyclonic Bombers blasted the enemy positions below them.

"This is so much better Red 2," replied a voice. "What do you think would've happened if we stayed behind?" asked the pilot as he watched the first of the landing forces land on the beachhead.

"Bah!" started Red 2. "Muntiny would've being on Mavis hands. Got any idea how bad they were treating us? I can't understand why we can't have our own prisoner's anyway,"

Red 2's co-pilot turned around as an aerail cruiser came over and started a bombardment in order for the carriers to land. He did a barrel role as the occasional burst of hate was fired upwards.

"Cut the chatter Red Squadron! This is Red Leader and we've got orders to make a beachhead so just do it and cut the chatter," ordered a thundering voice.

To: all members of the Coalition

Approximately one hour and ten minutes ago, there was a terrorist attack in Boryslav. Four men jumped out of a jeep and began to open fire on pedestrians. One had an R.P.G., and targeted a cafe and a garage.

All in all, forty people lost their lives before security forces apprehended the murderers. After a year of strife, our nation has suffered yet more, but we will not be defeated.

It seems we have caught the culprits. It was old-Kurzhivsk remnant forces who immediately claimed responsibility for the attacks, but after scratching the surface, we have discovered direct links between these terrorists and a Habajani black ops cell operating in Kurzhivsk at present.

Therefore, we have no other choice but to make a declaration of war against Habajan.

If there is anything you have planned, or you require of our forces in Habajan when they arrive, please state so.

Yours in Solidarity,

It was come to my attention we're against the same enemy and I wish to make a porposal to finish this fight quickly and swiftly. If the enemy is to be subdued, then we should attack their capital eventually and force their government to surrender but we can only do this if we get our forces together and wipe out Habajan

Force A

With the capture of Uza the forces began to mobilise and push even further. With the II Army heading south with Lynion forces flanking the enemy from there, the I Army pushed East along the Northern coastline of Habajan.

===============

Force B

With the III and IV Army capturing the town of Bakan they prepared to move East and link up with Force C to take the capital of Habajan, Abajaban.

===============

Force C

With the landing of the X and XI Armies they met no resistance as the enemy was destroyed by the nuclear blast or the surviving divisions retreating to Abajaban. Two Infantry Divisions of the X Army was sent to the destroyed city of Iraqan to round up any survivors, they expected to meet light resistance.

We have planned out an assault for Drvarskan Forces to take the capital of Habajan, Abajaban. We have put together a force of 800,000 men to assault the city with another two armies storming accross the Habajan mainland to reach Abajaban in a estimated time of six weeks as they have a distance of 1,500 Km to conquer along the way.

It seems fair you come from the east but if we're to finish this conflict, we need to attack from all sides. The map shows a harbour that they might use for their navy, I suggest we strike the harbour, engage them from north, south and the west thus blocking all escape routes.

Bunker 206

Most of the small, inexperienced garrison were either dead or choking on the floor, as cyanide engulfed the entire bunker, seeping through the air vents. The frontline guards stood no chance, but the technicians had time to run to the armory and lock themselves in with the gas masks.

The Kozaks completed the operation using the same military tactics. Fourteen soldiers were rounded up alive, two of whom later died due to cyanide poisoning. Over forty others had been killed, including Hamud.

Once the area was secure, C4 was found planted on the mainframe. Aware that it could go off at any time, Serhijuk ordered Volkov to disarm the bomb. The rest of the squad found piles of papers burning inside metal containers, and a group of civilians wearing gas masks, locked inside the armoury.

The Habajani have no navy but a few cargo ships and river boats with PKM machine guns. If they were to escape, they would be an easy prey for the mighty Drvarskan Navy and combined allied Navies. I assure you that we have forces already assaulting Abajaban and it is expected to fall easily with the help of naval bombardment from the SS "Drvarska" Super Dreadnought and a task force comprising of 2 Battleships, 4 battlecruisers, 12 Destroyers, 18 Frigates and 6 submarines.

"We've just being given all the intel we'll ever need," smiled Mavis as he turned to the radio. "Leave the 2nd Aerial Squadron to safe guard the LZ for Volzgrad and inform them what we're doing, the rest of the armada is to head east along the southern coastline and prepare an assault on Habajan Capital City,"

The bulk of the Aerial Armada was to be dispatched along the southern coastline and help bring an early end to the war.

OOC: Lynion, I must say it will take a while for your troops to move 1,500 KM from your position to the Habajani capital. Not to mention the 3 Armies you are fighting anyway.

IC:

Orlov looked over his intel reports and the movements of the Lynion forces.

"Theyre moving to the capital!?"

"Yes sir as so it seems." replied his intel officer.

"We already have a good 800,000 well trained and equipped troops, not to mention another 1,000,000 along the way. The majority of the capital defenses are militia as the I Royal Habajani Army was destroyed from the nuclear blast south of it."

"Yes sir I will see what we can do."

To: The Lynion Armed Forces
From: Drvarskan High Command

We have the Abajaban situation under control and request assisstance only when needed. We suggest that you take your troops and join the I Army advancing along the Northern coastline and knock out the Habajani 6th Army as well as capturing the town of Tanaba and if not already taken, the city of Askabat. We have two armies totalling 1,000,000 well trained Drvarskan troops already advancing along the southern coastline towards the capital. You will find it an honor fighting with the I Army as they are veteran troops of many past conflicts.

As for the Volzgrad LZ, we have a designated landing zone which has been cleared for aerial landing near the town of occupied Bakan by Force B.

"Hold the armada and await Volzgrad to come first," ordered Mavis.

"What the blazes are we doing?" demanded the captain. "We got orders to capture their capital and now we're backing off how come?"

The captain stood right in front of Mavis as the armada stood in midair. Mavis looked down on the captain as he looked out to the skies with a tear coming down his face.

"We just being informed we'll be too late to take their capital so we're staying put until Volzgrad arrives. We'll then have a plan to punch through," stated Mavis as he went across to the bridge and picked up a clipboard. "Are the Hell Knights ready?"

"Yes sir, we can have them ready within half an hour sir," started the operator. "One other thing sir, a 'Vampire' symbol has appeared for you,"

Mavis was told about the 'Vampire' symbol but also took it as a myth that the military was using the symbol for a top secert operation but he put it aside for the moment.

"Have the Hell Knights ready to use a spear assault on Askabat City. We need all 700 Hell Knights ready to go by midday today. They'll land at an aircraft carrier stationed here, re-fuel and go for the same night," briefed Mavis as the 'Vampire' symbol came up on the main screen.

TO: Drvarska High Command
FROM: Kingdom of Lynion, Mavis

I'm sending a spear-head assault on the city of Askabat that should arrive their the next day or two days depending on the weather. Numbers are top secert at the moment but it'll be just enough to take and hold the city. And no the numbers are no higher than 5,000.

Orlov looked over the telegram sent by Lynion.

"Is he mad? Hes sending fewer than 5,000 to take the city of Askabat? It is occupied by almost an entire Habajani army with 300,000 regulars and 600,000 militia! He is going to be slaughtered."

Orlov dictated a telegram back to his radio operator.

To: Lynion High Command
From: Drvarskan High Command

We agree for you to take this city and we wish to know how you intend on taking on a force of 900,000 Habajanis with a force fewer than 5,000? We highly suggest sending some of our forces with you.

From: 7th Volzgradien Aerofleet

Confirmed. We are currently on route to Bakan to drop off our infantry. Our airships will continue to move inland to support the Lynion forces. 15 Venkov airships are much more than enough to level a city and its garrison.

TO: Drvarska High Command
FROM: Kingdom of Lynion, Hell Knight Commander Link

The number's we're sending is 1,000 Hell Knight's. The military calls them the elite of the Lynion Assassin's (elite special forces), but we intend to keep ourselves known as Hell Knights.

We'll land in the city under the cover of darkness and assault their command centre and since you're willing to give us some of your men to aid us, is it possible your men can cause a distraction to give us a little more time?

To: Lynion Forces
From: 7th Volzgradien Aerofleet

We do not doubt the effectiveness of your special forces, but we are sure that you'll require some heavy air support. We currently have 15 Siege Airships ready for combat. They are currently on route to support you. Each airship easily has enough missiles to eliminate 10,000 Habajani troops.

To: 7th Volzgradien Aerofleet
From: Drvarskan High Command

Thank you for the confirmation, we wish to not level cities and buildings as that would destroy the civillian population but we will keep the air support in mind.

==================

To: Kingdom of Lynion, Hell Knight Commander Link
From: Drvarskan High Command

We are willing to make a distraction, we have our spec ops unit available to assist your men as well. They are familiar with this territory as many of them served as operatives in the Habajani territory. They are known as Force X and we are willing to send III Company which includes 100 men armed with latest Drvarskan weaponry. We can send a large distraction with an amphibous assault of two well trained Marine divisions (20,000 Soldiers) after a Aerial bombardment of coastal defences.

TO: Volzgrad Forces
FROM: Hell Knights, Commander Link

We understand your concern and we were going to contact you but it seems you have beaten us to it. We would like for you to send some airships which will fight along side the Imperial Lynion Aerial Armada. You won't be folded into our armada but intel will be granted to you but under no orders are you to go over head their Command Station as we have a way of taking it in one swift blow.


TO: Drvarska Forces
FROM: Hell Knights, Commander Link

We welcome your special forces joining us however, like Volzgrad, we have orders to encirlce their Command Post but not to destory it because of a new weapon that we have developed and it is to be baptised in this single blow. I want to show Habajan the true force of the Union Forces and the Hell Knights of Lynion.

"A new weapon?" Thought Orlov.

"Sir? May I suggest we send in some intel commandos to analyse this new weapon they wish to use?" said Orlov's Intelligence Minister.

"Yes, please we must obtain some information about it. Also send a telegram back to Lynion and Volzgrad that the city of Askabat must not be leveled to the ground and its civillian population to be unharmed, we understand the fatallities that happen during ground combat but we have spillt enough blood at Iraqan..."

"Right away sir."

To: Lynion and Volzgrad High Command
From: Drvarskan High Command

We would like to set out that no aerial bombardment is to harm the civillian population inside Askabat. We have spillt enough blood at Iraqan killing millions, our dark days have passed and we wish to keep as many civillians alive as possible. We reconmend that Volzgradien airships are to stay with minor artillery fire including 25mm guns or 40mm guns in open areas. We shall be dubbing this attack as Operation "Varsity".

Link turned around as he watched a glow in the skies as a beam of light struck a frigate and punched a hole straight through it causing it to sink rapidly.

'So it does work,' thought Link to himself as he watched a moving de-commissioned cruiser being sunk by the same beam of light half an hour with deadly accuracy.

TO: Drvarska High Command
FROM: Hell Knights, Commander Link

I've just seen the weapon in action and I'll state this: it has the ability to hit any target with pin point accruacy. I will tell you this, the civilian weapon will see this weapon but it won't harm a hair on their heads. The Lynions will acknowledge this operation as Operation Varsity but because of the weapon being used, the Lynion's will record it as Operation Ion Beam.

OOC: Please make sure you not use any technology post 2008! This is MT not PMT. I will see how this turns out, looks like the weapon used in the James Bond Movie "Die another day".

"President Orlov! We have some urgent reports from our spy satellites!" a Intelligence officer said rushing into the war room.

"Yes let me see." Orlov said. He was presented with a file in front of him containing photographic images. He reviewed over them. The first image showed a motionless warship, the second showed an array or beam like light crashing into it, the third showed half the ship torn in half. He analysed the positon near Lynion waters.

"My god what is that?" Orlov said shocked.

"I have no idea sir..."

The noise of men and convoys moving towards both Wolfs checkpoint could be heard. Every single man prepared himself for a fight. Wolf took his command position. The Abrams tanks readied their guns, the Hind's were quickly moving back into position. The rockets were ready to launch. The stage was set. Then, onto the path came the source of the noise. It was the Habajain Secondary division. Wolf's order came quickly. "Do not fire! I repeat, hold your fire! Those are friendlies!" Wolf quickly moved, with his own small spec ops team, to meet the head of the convoy. "My name is Commander Wolf, of the Jimzrawayin force deployed to this area. We are allies of your nation...you mind telling me whats going on here?"

OOC:

You missed my post on page 5. I think it needs some replying to, otherwise by the time I've posted some movement the war will be over

To: Drvarskan High Command
From: 7th Volzgradien Aerofleet

Confirmed. We will only use 25mm and 40mm howitzers mounted on our airships. Missiles will only be used on large targets away from civilian locations. We have also agreed to Operation Varsity.

The unmarked fleet began to unload at the coast near Tanaba. Troops and vehicles were the first to be unloaded. The first soldiers(with vehicles) were sent to Tanaba to establish communications with the government. Early Radio silence had been established and the long range AA guns on the ships would keep any enemy away.

3rd Expeditionary Force, 850 Miles North-Northeast of Habajan

The Parthian fleet moved forward, hundreds of grey silhouettes cutting through the open ocean on a course to Habajan. From his view on the bridge of the superdreadnought Shah Bahram, Grand Admiral Ardeshir Khordavi observed the movements of the fleet, seeing the formation of destroyers and anti-submarine frigates arranged on the perimeter, with cruisers, transports, carriers and the superdreadnoughts Shah Bahram, Shah Khosro and Shah Ardeshir in the center. Twenty miles ahead, he knew the attack and missile submarines cruised silently, leading the way for the Parthian attack.

A deafening roar came from the carriers Persepolis and Tehran as the ACI-73 patrol meant to replace the aircraft currently in the skies took off, advancing towards the front of the fleet where they would provide cover from suprise air attack.

The Shah's motivations here were quite simple, Habajan would make a useful ally in future endeavors, and what better way to win an ally than to defend a nation from attack? The forces to be deployed were to be quite small, by typical invasion standards, a total of merely 30 mechanized infantry divisions and 10 armored divisions, altogether, about 750,000 men, not a terribly large force when considered the allies had serveral million in the area...

"but then," Admiral Khordavi observed, "the allies wouldn't expect much from his force." The Shah's leading admiral let loose a smile as he pondered aloud, "they consider the key to victory being sheer mass, we can, perhaps, show them the fault in their reasoning."

Official Diplomatic Communique to the Habajan Government

We have noticed the attacks made by the Drvaskan and allied forces against your nation. If we can be permitted, and necessary faclilities exist, we would be willing to deploy a fairly large contingent of aircraft and air defense facilities to support your military against allied attack. All that is necessary is a fairly large airbase in good working order and your consent, if that is provided, the Shahdom offers a stop-gap measure of air power to help turn the tide in your favor until we can provide greater support against the allies.

Let us know if our offer is accepted.

-Foreign Minister Lord Sassan Savadkouhi

OOC:Yay more allies of habajan

OOC: I think it would be better if you stopped stating where the tests took place because there's different locations and some aren't in Lynion waters thus, you can't tell where it took place unless I stated where the test took place. Yes it is a similiar weapon from James Bond Die Another Day except this one has a little more power. I'll add more later because I have to go soon.

IC

"Sir, the infantry we were promised has being dirverted," reported in an operator. "Something worse has happened at one of our colonies so we only have 4,000 troops sir,"

"Blast it!" shouted Mavis as he looked around. "So we only have 6,500 troops at our command? At least we still have an air force,"

Mavis looked around as he studied a building that was being turned into a barracks for the men to sleep while a squadron of Dingo Fighter Jets soared overhead.

NW Habajan, near Bakan

The Typhoon class submarine D-19, the same that launched the SLBM at Iraqan was patrolling the waters around Bakan when it contacts showed up on the horizon, it was that of the Ralkovian Expeditionary Force but this was not seen as the ships were unmarked. Captain Gorbachev responded immediatly.

"Send out a report to HQ. Then maintain radio silence, prepare all crew to battlestations. These are enemies of Drvarska if they are to be landing troops in Habajani lands."

At the second the order was issued all crew rushed quickly to their battle stations and all torpedoes were armed and ready. The sub carried Type 65K torpedoes with 550kg of HE, a deadly weapon to many ships. The submarine was slowed down and maintained radio silence as well as combat silence.

"Prepare to engage targets at 021 degrees, unmarked LHD-1s." Gorbachev ordered. Two Wasp class LHD-1s were marked and prepared to be fired upon.

"Targets marked sir!"

"Flood tubes!"

"Torpedo tubes flooded sir!"

"Prepare to fire on my mark... FIRE!"

The two torpedoes silently left their tubes and the crew waited in dead silence waiting for the sudden explosions to erupt.

Drvarskan High Command HQ

A Intel operator stormed into the war room holding in his hand graphic images.

"Sir! Large fleet sighted 850 miles North-West of Habajan. Beleived to be of Parthian orgin. It was picked up on one of our satellites."

"So... The Habajani have made yet another friend. We will see to it that they are taken care of. Order the I Flotilla to intercept their task force, they must not reach Habajan! Send this report to our allies."

"Right away sir." replied the General of the Navy.

To: Allied nations of Drvarska in Habajani Conflict

We have recieved intel reports of a large Parthian fleet heading towards Habajan. We are setting out to intercept them with the I Drvarskan Flotilla. We request that you send what air support you have to spare and any warships. Together we can bring down this threat. We have also encountered an unmarked fleet loading troops off near Bakan in NW Habajan, we shall see to it that this threat is taken out as well.

The radio officer rushed in to the captain as he was discussing plans with the Antigran sub commander.

"Sir! We have been ordered to assemble with the group, large convoy spotted 850 miles NW of Habajan."

"Right prepare to set sail."

"Aye sir."

Captain Venska turned to the Antigran.

"It seems we will have to talk at another time. We will have to send you back to your sub now im afriad. Would you join us on this attack?"

===================

To: Antigran Naval Force
From: Drvarska High Command

We require your assisstance in taking out this naval threat NW of Habajan. We suggest that you land your troops at Force B beacheads ASAP and link up your warships with our I Flotilla. A large battle is about to be among us.

TO: Drvarska High Command
FROM: Imperial Aerial Lynion Armada

We have answered you call for support and the entire 3rd Aerial Armada will be heading alongside other Allied Forces to aid you. All 400 aircraft will be put on red alert.


OOC: It's more powerful because it fires a missile first and it then fires the sun light energy on the position its aiming.

OOC: I understand that but the fact is that it seems too FT or PMT. I want this conflict to be of the type such as the ongoing war in Iraq or in the 1992 Gulf war. The use of such dramatic weaponry just makes it unfair for the Habajani which is a 3rd world country have a fighting chance.

OOC: Ok, let's forget the weapon. I didn't mean that it would go this far so let's say its scrapped all together.

Bunker 206
- two hours and twenty-six minutes since the terror attack in Boryslav.

The armoury door had been opened willfully, as the technicians had no escape from the team of seven highly-trained commandos.

They didn't speak a word of Ukrainian, but fortunately Volkov spoke a little bit of Arabic.

"What is the purpose of this bunker?" yelled Volkov in Arabic, with his shotgun aimed at on of the technicians.

"This is a radar station. We command anti-aircraft guns up and down the North-West coast."

"What else do you do?"

"What else, err, nothing."

Volkov slammed the butt of his gun into the man's neck: "Does anyone else want to tell me? You, you there, stand up, with your hands behind your head. Tell me, what else is this bunker for?"

Looking sheepish, the second technician muttered a quick prayer, and said: "This is a RADAR and SONAR station. We were in the middle of coordinating the re... the... air force."

"Don't lie. What were you coordinating? SPILL IT!"

The other technicians watched, as he said:
"The reinforcements."

"OK, you're doing well, from whence are these reinforcements due?"

"I, I, I can't, don't know."

Volkov pumped his shotgun.

"OK OK, the Ralkovians, the Parthians and Jimzraway are all sending troops." Volkov began to translate everything he had just learnt to his team, and the comm-officer started relaying messages to "Hive".

Serhijuk did not hesitate to start giving orders:
"Alright, Pavluk, lock them up in the armoury, but make sure all weapons are lined up over there. Melnyk, tell Hive to delay evac until further notice. As for this mainframe terminal, it looks like some of the equipment's been superficially damaged, but the main problem is the power, since the command stations are OK and intelligence is kept on solid state hard-drives. However, if we use one of Melnyk's aerials, we can have electricity transferred straight into the bunker from Hive."

Tesla technology was widely used in Solyhniya. Electricity was nearly always transmitted through the air.

Comm-officer Melnyk responded.
"Yes Sir, I'm on my way. I'll find the generator and cut it out of the circuit, before continuing with the operation. It should take about half an hour."

"Дуже добре."

OOC: Just a notification to those in this thread. I will be absent the next 4 days so try to fight without using Drvarska that much, you may stay to spec ops and intel gathering or individual battles. Sorry for this, I will be back Thursday. Thanks for playing in this RP.

OOC: OK, can you log on to NS proper a moment? I need to telegram you.

Secret report from Franz Smith (undercover name of the secret agent) in the capital of Drvarska. 15:25 Encrypted for high security

I just found out about plans of the Habajan terrorist cell "Edruring Freedom" in Drvarska, who have stolen 2 nuclear warheads of 550kt from a drvarska marine basis. I was able to watch the operation and took pictures. I was surprised, how badly the complex was guardet. At the moment, I assume, they intend on using them for a nuclear attack in large urban areas in Drvarska. I request the dictators decision, if we are to inform the Drvarskan goverment of this threat or if all our agents are supposed to withdraw from the area to avoid casualties. There would also be the possibility to acquire a few of those nuclear warheads for our armory...

Parthian 3rd Expeditionary Force

“And so they come” Admiral Khordavi observed, “let us show them how they underestimate us at their own peril.” Nonchalantly, the Grand Admiral sipped the cup of tea placed next to him as he gave his order, hearing the message from the two flights deployed to attack the Drvaskans: “Have the arsenal ships blast the fleet apart, give them hell. Initiate Attack Pattern 0034A, with ASW precautions.”

With the order given, radios across the fleet lit up as the carriers prepared launches, but they would not be the first to provide the fire against the Drvaskans, that came from the arsenal ships Qom, Chah Bahar, Bandar-e Abbas, Bandar Pahlavi, and Mehrabad, each as long as a battleship from the Second World War, and as heavily armored, but with over a thousand five hundred individual missile tubes in place of the major gun batteries.

As the vessels fire control computers put the location of the Drvaskan fleet on the heading towards the Parthian fleet into the individual missile guidance systems, the launch tubes of each of the vessels opened, releasing massive gouts of flame and smoke as no less than 250 sea-skimming SSMs launched from the tubes of each vessel, a total of 1250 leaving behind a tower of smoke as the missiles dropped from 300 feet to just 3 feet above the water as they moved towards the Drvaskan fleet, mostly targeting smaller escort vessels, like frigates, destroyers, and cruisers.

The missiles were designed for low flight for a simple reason, to avoid delectability by enemy radar, and although they would eventually be detected once they had closed enough distance, they would engage a terminal pop up on coming into close in defensive systems range, hoping to confuse the Vulcan cannons on most vessels.

The second wave was the so called ASW barrage. 12 frigates unloaded 36 specialized cruise missiles which would drop active sonar buoys in 12 mile increments in front of the Parthian fleet, starting from 100 miles out. The buoys, it was intended, would either detect enemy submarines operating in front of the Drvaskan fleet, or at least clear them away from the front of the Parthian fleet.


Flight Tazkieh (Purification)- Approaching Northwestern Habajan

The Drvaskans had made a fatal flaw in their plans to destroy the Habajanis, in their attempts to secure as much of the country as possible, they had neglected to follow one of the cardinal rules of war- never, under any circumstances divide your forces.

Field Marshall Rustahm Bahari knew that the best option for facing the Drvaskans was to hit them in a single concentrated pattern, splitting the majority of their forces from the smaller body and wiping each individual force out one at a time.

To accomplish this goal, flight Vindication had been flown all the way from Parthia, aerially fueled on the way to Habajan towards the city of Uza. Consisting of 150 B-9 Sariel stealth bombers, each of them carried the payload considered most effective in a first strike situation. Leading them forward, satellite data provided a generalized search area of Drvaskan forces in the area, something fed into the targeting computers of the planes themselves.

As the Sariels approached within 500 miles of Habajan, a pair of radio clicks signaled the bombers to unload their payloads, each dropping four cruise missiles armed with joint stand-off weapons. As the missiles fell from the bomb bays, they rocketed forward towards the generalized concentrations of Drvaskan troops simultaneously selecting high density concentrations before unleashing the massive load of submunitions above those ground forces, a grand total of 145 multi-function submunitions per weapon capable of being individually guided towards armored vehicles, and equipped with shape charges designed to punch through armor.

As the 600 weapons quickly became no less than 87,000 submunitions directed towards the Drvaskan forces near Uza, the Sariels turned for home, allowing the second phase of the plan to come into effect.


Flight Darvazeh-ye Fars- 500 miles north of the Northwestern Drvaskan Fleet

Behind the first wave of Sariels, a secondary wave followed in their wake, and as soon as the cruise missiles fired, the second wave of 75 operating at 80,000 feet unleashed their portion of the operation, they each possessed a pair of AGM-260 missiles, long, slender weapons, which would pose a tremendous danger to the Drvaskan vessels in the area around Uza.

From 80,000 feet, the missiles fell from their stowage bays, quickly activating scramjet propulsion systems and their fire and forget autonomous radar systems. As the missiles approached 120,000 feet, above the operating range of nearly all SAMs, they had chosen targets themselves within the ‘box’ satellite reconnaissance had provided. They would move towards their targets at over mach 8, before activating a terminal dive once they were precisely located above the targeted Drvaskan naval vessels, letting directional thrusters push them downwards, where the combination of gravity and the secondary boost stages would accelerate the missiles to a speed approaching mach 20, as they moved towards their targets. These man-made meteors, designed to punch through the deck armor of super dreadnoughts, were now let loose to set forth devastation on the Drvaskan naval forces in the area, to pave the way for Parthian forces to finish them off.


Flight Ahura Mazda

The Parthian fleet moving towards northwest Habajan now let loose the full fury of its air wings, as the carriers Persepolis, Golestan, Mazandaran, Ahwaz, and Zabulistan let forth their ACI-73D strike fighters, numbering no less than 150, they were joined quickly by the ACI-73 air superiority fighters from the Sistan, Khoresan, Ardabil, Gilan, and Zanjan, which put 200 planes into the air.

Following them, a trio of ACI-73E electronic warfare aircraft were launched in quick succession from the now cleared decks of the Golestan, along with two AWACS aircraft to provide the fleet and fighters with improved radar visibility.

With the planes now in the air, they began to move towards whatever was left of the Drvaskan fleet from the two prior barrages, this time, conserving their ammo and heading towards the edge of the Parthian SAM operating zone from the fleet, approximately 200 miles from the front end of the Parthian navy.

OOC:Solyhniya still no. Not even habajan knows who I am. All telegrams that were sent were
from country willing to send supplies and soldiers so no there is no way you know it is me. So yeah the man would say parthians and an unknown force.

IC: On the first wasp the torpedoes were too close to dodge or even fire decoy rounds. Captain Teleko yelled into the mike,"Prepare for impact." In a mere minute the round hit the side of the ship. The ship began to take on water, there was nothing they could do to save this ship. Luckily for the time being the admiral has closed the bottom holds so the ship would be stable...for the time being. He ordered the men to salvage all vehicles and helicopters. The amphibious vehicles rolled off the deckbay as fast as they could but it was no use 20 of the original 100 vehicles made it. The helicopters had a better chance with 80 of the 100 making it off. The crew and soldiers on board only 1000 of the 2800 made it off alive.

The second ship commanded by admiral Reck had enough time to dodge the torpedo. The torpedo passed 20 meters out of the ships way. It was lucky as for the sub, the torpedoes had made a 2 line pass straight to it. The helicopters that had made it off the first wasp were now like bees. They dropped everything they had into the water. The entire fleet had turned into a wasp nest. The helicopters began their journey to the habajan city as fast as they could.

The Drvarska sub would have had its entire sonar and radar systems beeping as missiles, anti-sub rockets, depth charges, and all the bells and whistles of submarine warfare weapons being shot at the general area of where it was.

OOC:

Really bad idea to have only SSBN submarines, you know. They're big, unwieldy, and is like hunting with a MLRS vehicle, only more stupid. It might kill something now and again, but you will look like a idiot.
And, Ralkovia, you need to do some serious research into anything military because pouring masses of unaimed ordnance into a general area a target may be is one of the most ill-thought-out, ridiculous things I've ever heard.

IC:

The flight of five DD80 Lightweight Fighters were on their reconnaisance run, having just made a high pass over Habajani-held territory. They had encountered no aerial resistance and orders were just coming in over the radio.

"A-Zee all flights, fleet needs recon, recon over grid three-four-two-seven-one-eight actual. Prepare for possible contact with various hostiles, airborne. A-Zee, fleet five-five fourteenth and G, report, over"

"Kilo Flight, confirm Kilo Actual. Turning heading two-seven-one, out"

With that, the jets began to descend and accelerate. The flight commander didn't know what was going on, but it sounded important - the entire 14th Oceanic Fleet and at least half of the Grand Fleet were being redeployed.

S.R.F. Tirsdäln
Drvarskan Fleet


Captain Birkeland gave a quick salute. It sounded pretty urgent, and he jogged outside and onto the deck. Going down to where he had been picked up from the boats and accompanied by his other two officers, he got into the same motor launch that had been used to bring them to the Sokolovska, and the Drvarskan seamen accelerated away from the ship, the launch bumping over the small crests of the waves.
The helmsman slowed as they approached the Tirsdäln and Birkeland scrambled onto the deck, ran over to the sail and climbed inside. No sooner were they safely in than the communications officer came through, giving him a sheet of paper with the orders on.

"Both turbines full ahead together, boat to fifty metres depth. Bow planes twenty, aft planes fifteen. Make speed!"

Within ten minutes of the order being given, over a hundred ships were underway. Fifteen five-aircraft flights of DD80s were moving to recon positions ahead of the fleet and nearly twice that amount landing to refuel and rearm or taking off. One of the two of the 3rd Marine Division's brigades which had not yet landed was being rerouted with the fleet, and a large force of aircraft carriers as well as some of the finest ships in the Antigran navy, those of the grand fleet, were being ordered to intercept along with the entire 14th Oceanic Fleet.

Not only that, but if things got nasty the other Antigran fleet could be quickly deployed, along with the Antigran vessels on international patrol within 500 miles could reach the site in as little as a couple of hours, as well as the possibility, in an extreme emergency, to 'scramble' the 3rd, 5th, 6th, 8th, 10th, 11th, 13th, 17th, and 20th Oceanic Fleets from across Antigr and it's overseas colonies.

However, now there was something new. Satellites were showing masses of ordnance being fired at the Drvarskan fleet by what was identified as Parthian forces, luckily the Antigran navy was mooring further away. The situation was not improving. The Antigran strategy was pretty much a protective 'screen', and old but still effective technique, however no ship was designed to purely shoot down massive missiles aimed at it and it only. However, the Antigrans had similar technology and intents; although rushed, the admirals had contingency plans.
Treat thy neighbour as you would yourself, and they intended to do so. The fleet had arsenal ships. Big ones, carrying the newer AM9-series of cruise and ballistic missiles.
It was both that would be launched; both missiles carried submunitions that were designed to attain extreme velocity, beyond the scope of all but the utmost ship defence systems and beyond the capabilities of gun CIWS altogether.

The ballistic missiles would attain much higher velocities than the cruise missiles, soaring up at high speed and soaring down at huge speed, engines screaming and aided by gravity, nature itself, at speeds of up to Mach 21.3, as had been achieved in testing, although realistically it was lower. The design was to scatter over the Parthian fleet at medium altitude, scattering thousands of submunitions with the sun behind it to hopefully offset any missiles sent against them, and they would be few.

It was rushed, but the admirals knew it would work to some degree - no defences were built for this. A single sentence was given.

"Fire when ready"

OOC:Solyhniya still no. Not even habajan knows who I am. All telegrams that were sent were
from country willing to send supplies and soldiers so no there is no way you know it is me.

OOC: That's the most retarded thing ever. The idea that Habajan would not know their allies is totally bloody stupid, as they'd have fired upon your forces. Being the "ultimate secret agent" is the same as God-modding. It's totally unrealistic. Besides, how are you supposed to wipe all the insignias off your vehicles? There are a great many ways of identifiying you. Either admit what I've said, or take heavy casualties from ground fire from all sides.

Wolfpack 32- 550 Miles West of the Antigran Fleet

35 Jamshid Class submarines moved eastwards at a depth of 1500 feet, close to the edge of the test depth of the submarine. They were spread out over 150 miles, each one separated from the other by miles of Open Ocean. Commanding the center boat, IPS Kaikhosro, heading on a course directly towards the Antigran fleet, Commander Shapur Golzari eyed the command center uneasily.

“This,” he noted “was going to be the effort by the Parthian navy to limit reinforcement to the Drvaskan navy under attack.” He had the necessary tools to do his job, all it took would be a bit of time for the silently cruising submarines to reach 495 miles from their targets, then to unload the “Shah’s Response” on the interlopers.

Satellite information was being updated with the course of the Antigran fleet as regularly as possible, of course, closing enough distance to directly detect the Antigran fleet was quite simply out of the question, as it would put the submarines at excessive risk to do so. Instead, the missiles would be individually targeted using autonomous protocols in their guidance systems to strike preprogrammed radar signatures of Antigran ships.

The hour of waiting intensely brought the voice of the navigation officer to echo across the bridge, “Captain, we’re at the designated point.” Capitain Golzari knew it was time, and with it, made the order, “Deploy the weapons, time delay protocol.” The submarine let loose its ballast tanks, letting the vessel glide slowly upwards to 350 feet below the surface, at which point, the missile tubes in the back of the attack submarine let loose, leaving cylinders which moved upwards to the surface. These cylinders were modified from the original purpose of simply carrying a missile to the surface to fire instantly, instead, to prevent enemies from triangulating the launching submarine by the sudden appearance of a missile, the tube used compressed air to keep the missile at the surface for a predetermined period of time (30 minutes), at which point, hopefully, the submarine would put some distance between it and the missile pod.

Each of the submarines, over the next 5 minutes, deployed 20 missile pods, each migrating towards the surface, before plotting a course to take them south-southeast, towards the southern coast of Habajan.

30 minutes from the deployment of the first pods, a radio signal caused the tubes in the ocean to unleash their cargo, each flying upwards and towards the Antigran fleet, skimming over the surface of the water, with 700 missiles in total.

The submarines, meanwhile, sulked back into the depths and continued south-southwest, running as silently as possible to avoid detection.

Parthian 3rd Expeditionary Force

The Satrap radar systems began to light up as several hundred missiles were detected moving rapidly towards the Parthian fleet. The infamous missile spam which attempted to hit a navy with as many munitions as possible to ensure at least some could get through the advanced naval defensive systems of the day.

Yet, such an approach was not without weakness, it's singular direction of attack made for calculating responses being quite an easy time for more advanced computer systems.

The fleet wide Satrap system set forth interception protocols, with each system being given bearing and radar signatures of missiles inbound towards the fleet, nearly entirely concentrating on the cruise missiles which were much easier to intercept than the terminal diving missiles which moved too fast for any elegant measures to be taken.

At a single go, five seconds after contact had been made, the computer systems of dozens of ships unloaded thousands of SAMs at the inbound missile swarm, preparing a secondary wave as soon as the first had been fired while other computer systems prepared fuel air warhead equipped SAMs to target the terminal diving missiles.

As the first wave of SAMs decimated the incoming cruise missiles, the targetting system set forth the FAE equipped SAMs to hit the terminal diving ballistic missiles, calculating attack trajectories to hit them as soon as they reached the vessels they targetted.

Within seconds, pressure waves of the detonating FAEs pressed against crew members on decks of the vessels thousands of feet below, mostly a success story, but one cut short by missed submunitions raining down on the fleet, too small to be detected, but also to do much damage, they peppered decks of 10 destroyers and 6 frigates, killing 370 exposed crew members and wounding 632 more. Damage was mostly light, but the destroyers IPS Palang and IPS Bahram Chobin lost their weapons systems fire control and radar from concentrated submunitions blasts. The cruiser Khosro Shirin fared worse, with no less than a dozen small submunitions hitting in the same general area, with a single lucky shot penetrating the magazine and detonating the vessel in a spactacular fireball.

As the first wave struck, the second one finally came to fruitition, two waves of SAMs had whittled away at the cruise missiles moving towards the screening layer of destroyers and cruisers, and as the remaining missiles moved in, the advanced CIWS weapons systems dubbed 'steel wall' activated. Essentially multibarreled assemblies of metal storm guns firing steel slugs, they covered a 30 square foot section of horizon with thousands of them, each spaced by less than a few inches, due to the exceptionally rapid firing system which devestated most of the relatively slower cruise missiles, however, failures of calulation or even small changes in the cruise missile paths set missiles flying towards the vessels, causing the destruction or severe damage of 3 frigates, 4 destroyers, and the cruiser IPS Burandokht, which was hit by two missiles and sank with all hands. Moderate Damage was done to a further 3 destroyers and 1 frigate.

Revenge would be swift, and effective, adding to the preordered bombardment of submarine missiles, the Parthian fleet unleashed a salvo upon the distant Antigrans consisting of the the two stage AGM-250. As the missile targetting systems of the arsenal ships worked, no less than a total of 1000 were fired, each activating an air-breathing ramjet which accelerated the missiles to mach 3 as they moved in towards the Antigran fleet, hundreds of miles away.

Once the missiles approached to 80 miles, they would let the second stage collapse, revealing the primary attack mechanism, a supercavitating torpedo which fell into the water, used passive sonar to reorient itself towards it's target, then activated the supercavitating engine which accelerated it at 300 knots towards the enemy ships. If it hit, 600 pounds of ONC explosive would undoubtedly prove sufficent to rip any vessel smaller than a superdreadnought across its entire keel.

Of course, to help support the missiles during the course of their flight, it would prove necessary to add a secondary punch to the attack. The cruisers and destroyers now unloaded a barrage of 250 specialized AC-280 SSMs, designed to target enemy radar, in this case, the radar arrays of enemy vessels. Hopefully, if it worked, the enemy would be left blind.

OOC:It is totally possible to do so. In fact it is quite easy. A modern military could do so. Unlike you guys I don't go galavanting my military. Yes the chances are that habajan could attack me but since I'm unmarked and he was alerted that my forces would have no insignias I would hope he could put two and two together.

As for how I could get my vehicles unmarked. Half my armies equipment is bought so insignias aren't really put on. Anyway it is not g-dmodding if my identity is secret it doesn't do anything to help me or harm you. My guys will take damage whether they have the Ralkovian flag painted on them or not. If you have a quarrel with it thats your problem.


Also when were we allowed more than a million troops and on top of that when did we start using chemical warfare I thought there were rules against it in the beginning.




Lastly, I didn't pour rounds into the area, my helicopters which were the first ones off the transport fleet just fired rounds into the water. Think of it as being a massive overkill from hell.

OOC: It is possible to remain secertive as long your prepared to take fire from both sides but it is possible to do so and it isn't god moding for everyone reading this thread.

OOC:Thank you and yes I understand. I am willing to take the chances.

Two Western Civil Alliance Seawolf Class submarines track the Submarine from Drvarska.

OOC:

@Western Alliance: You don't really know how to RP, do you? I suggest looking at other's work to see how it's done and reading the stickies at the top of the forum page, they're kind of an essential guide on how to.

@Others: We all know Drvarska's away. However, letting the RP continue with stuff being destroyed while he has nothing aimed at him whatsoever will not do the structure of this RP any good.
I think pausing it won't be all that bad an idea. Your thoughts?

OOC:

1. We really need an OOC thread for this.

2. To all newbies, read the stickies on the top of the page or simply look at our work.

3. It really isn't necessary to pause the RP. Simply don't attack Drvarska until he returns. You can still participate in all your special forces operations and creepy arms deals.

OOC Here (http://www.forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=560697).

OOC:It is totally possible to do so. In fact it is quite easy. A modern military could do so. Unlike you guys I don't go galavanting my military. Yes the chances are that habajan could attack me but since I'm unmarked and he was alerted that my forces would have no insignias I would hope he could put two and two together.

OOC: Good Lord, give me strength... Do you honestly think that automated Habajani AA systems give a damn about your insignia? Unless you don't identify yourselfm, or you have some kind of magic radar insignia that only your allies can see, you should take casualties. Serious ones, I think, unless Drvaska says otherwise; it's his choice, not mine. I just think that you're not really making a great deal of sense.

Didn't you see the OOC Thread?

OOC: NO MORE OOC, THIS SHALL BE DIVERTED TO THE THREAD ANTIGR HAS MADE. Thank you.

500 Miles North West of Habajan
I Flotilla

The Drvarskan I Flotilla (known as their own Grand Fleet) began to heavily engage the Parthian Naval Force. The incoming missiles were met with air defense from the many 30 mm AK-630 Gatling guns equipped to ships, these were updated gattling guns with HE rounds that are computerized to enage any sensed incoming missiles. The use of SAM batteries and anti-air missiles also prooved effective as they caused destruction of enemy missiles in air with syncronized detonation. This prooved effective and the sky was filled with explosions causing horrific scenery. However, missiles did come through to ships that were not prepared, in total 5 ships were hit.

SS "Pyotr Veliky" Kirov Class Cruiser
Recieved a missile hit on the port side destroying the front main guns and 4 missile tubes. Still in action (6 men killed, 12 wounded).

SS "Otchayanny" Sovremenny Class Destroyer
Recieved a missile hit in the stern destroying the rudder and propellers. Ship is stationary and still able to fire. (1 man killed, 2 wounded).

SS "Bezuprechnyy" Sovremenny Class Destroyer
Recieved a missile hit on the main deck causing widespread fire to bow. Destroyed forward main guns, missile tubes and sonar. (24 men killed, 46 wounded), Returning to Base.

SS "Bditelnyy" Neustrashimy class Frigate
Recieved missile hit on starboard side, causing damage to waterline and flooding. Recieving casualties. Lower level sealed and flooded. Orders to abandon ship. (72 men killed, 138 survivors incl. 42 wounded).

SS "Bodryy" Neustrashimy class Frigate
Recieved missile hit on bow, causing damage to main deck gun and missile tubes. Fire is spread but maintained. Repairs under way. (7 men Killed, 28 wounded).


Orders were set to engage and immediatly dreadnoughts, battleships, cruisers, destroyers and frigates armed their missiles. In the attack 1,152 Anti-Ship missles headed towards the Parthian fleet on a concentrated range onto their main warships. The missiles included 128 cruise missiles from Battleships and Dreadnoughts.

Missile Types:

RGM-84 Harpoon
SS-N-14 Silex (Cruise Missiles)
SS-N-25 Switchblade
SS-N-22 'Sunburn'

Attack Helicopters were sent out from battlecruisers and carriers to track down enemy laid sonar buoys and destroy them to allow submarines to move freely. They are tracked using sensors that pick up waves which are pulsed out from the buoys themselves. For now the subs which included many kilo class and Typhoon class stayed motionless for now..

A Force of 24 F-22 Raptors and 32 F-111s lifted off the SS "Leningradsky Komsomolets" Nimitz class Carrier and headed to intercept Frigates and Destroyers spread out of AA rage from the Parthian main force. The Drvarskans will leave the air support to its allied nations.

================

North East of Habajan near Bakan
D-19

The torpedo that passed the Wasp ship was armed with a magnetic sensor which alters the course of the torpedo. It was targeted on a ship that was near its proposed target and it locked on, waiting for the kill.

The crew cheered in a roar as they scored 1 kill so far, they then resumed to await the second hit.

The Typhoon class sub was vibrating from the explosions the enemy was guessing around them. Captain Gorbachev was bemused at how the enemy retaliated.

"Ready Torpedoes 3 & 4. Aim for forward enemy ships bearing 346 degrees."

"Torpedoes Ready!"

"Fire on my mark..... Fire!"

"Torpedoes Away!"

"Load 5 and 6."

"Loading Sir."

The next two torpedoes were activated with magnetic sensors and fixed on their slow moving targets. They closed in for the kill.

TO: Coalition Forces siding with Drvarska
FROM: Kingdom of Lynion, Commander Mavis

In recent time and with our issues being bought to us from home, we are offically pulling out. These issues that were bought before us is highly classed as a possible crisis. We hope that the side who wins, becomes happy with victory.

Mavis looked around as he watched the aerial armada started to make their route back home due to recent pirate attacks.

"Fire decoy, Fire hit-hits, Fire SU rounds." The Captain had said. Quickly the ships had unloaded a payload of decoy rounds at the torpedoes. Next were the hit-hits. These rounds used a locator from the ship to aim at the torpedoes. The torpedo hit-hit rounds were now locked onto the torpedoes and the rounds smashed into each other, blowing the enemy torpedoes up. The next round shot from the ship was a revenge attack. 8 anti-sub missiles took off from the ship, these were locked onto the submarine and were fired from the ship. These missiles entered the water and headed straight to the submarine. They would take care of the pesky submarine.

The landing would go on as planned. A radio call was made from some far off place in some dingy remote country(not ralkovia) telling Habajan that unmarked soldiers from a country willing to help were going to land in Habajan. Of course they gave no location to where they were landing for obvious reasons.

Bunker 206

"That's it!" yelled comm-officer Melnyk, as a number of screens in the bunker flickered to life. "The generator is out, and Hive has transferred the energy we'll need.
"We will be able to command Habajani automatic AA guns until the system is overridden, or the guns themselves are destroyed."

The Polkovnyk walked over from searching the pockets of the dead Hamud.
"Good, have some new personnel dropped off here, and then we will really cause some havoc. The same aerodyne can take us and our prisoners back to Hive."

ooc:Umm Drvarska, I have a question. Does the one million soldier limit still apply?

OOC: I'm sorry about my troop count, I had a period of inactivity and didn't see the troop cap. I'm going to change my invasion force so DW. Oh, and sorry for not using the OOC thread; I just wanted to respond to Ralkovia.

OOC: Ralkovia, please leave OOC to the OOC thread. This is a last reminder!

D-19
NE Habajan

The torpedoes fired in the direction of the Drvarskan sub found it hard to track onto its target. The stealth submarine would not have picked up clearly on the Ralkovian radar. However two of the torpedoes managed to track it down and steered towards its direction. Gorbachev was quick to respond.

"Dive 100 meters, loose them in that trench!" he yelled.

The submarine decended quickly into a narrow rocky passageway which prevented one torpedo from reaching its target and exploded on a rockface. The trench had ended and the sub was in the open.

"Deploy counter measures, full speed to starboard!"

It was a near miss however the torpedo exploded not too far away causing damage to the sub. The sub shook terribly and fire burst into life in the control room.

"Put that fire out! Damage report!" Gorbachev ordered.

"Sir! Flooding in the aft torpedo compartment! Damage to diesel engines!" replied an operator.

"Get that leak under control, Driver set course to N 041 S 158, lets go home."

"Aye sir, Setting course."

D-19 set a steady pace towards the homeland of Drvarska...

OOC: Parthians, you're copying all my ideas in your post on page nine. How long have you been in the RP game? What say, for no particular reason, some subs or ships got quite a bit closer? It's much more fun that way.

Antigran Grand Fleet 2nd Submarine Flotilla


The submarine was on the surface, and her hatches had been closed and crew reembarked following blowing her tanks and opening all her hatches to let in fresh air quicker. They were recieving reports from a destroyer, having recieved a report from a carrier, having recieved a report from an inwardbound air reconnaisance.
The news was worrying, to say the least. The plane was a 'sub-finder', specially equipped with special asdic and sonar suites and it was by chance that it had glimpsed what appeared to be an enemy submarine. After this, airborne recon had been dispatched quickly but to no avail, the submarine had gone. However, one plane had even more worrying news - it had spotted some kind of bright gush of flame, like a missile launch. Ultra-long-range radar had also detected a cluster of some sort, travelling fast.
It was a chance thing, and not something you usually found unless you were looking for it. But there wasn't anything the fleet could do butn wait.

The Captain instincitvely yelled out.

"ALARM!"

His first officer echoed the cry, signalling a crash dive. To the captain's left, a seaman reached a control panel and sent the engines to 'ahead flank' - emergency speed, and red and green lights flashed above him to signal it. The interior white lights flashed on and off aand the bridge crew stood aside as all hands began to race through the ship forward, to get to the bows and make them heavier. In a matter of mere seconds, the submarine had dissapeared beneath the waves.

"Two hundred metres, Bjorn. Fast!"

The Antigran ships came with CIWS systems in the form of a dual-purpose anti-missile/anti-aircraft RAM, or Rolling Airframe Missile. Theoretically more effective than any gun-based CIWS with a much larger engagement time, weapons such as the AK-630 or Phalanx having a mere one-third of a second to aim and engage a missile as well as an uncertainty of the warhead or missile being destroyed at all. A missile, however, could be launched at a much longer range and packed a comparatively much larger punch. They were going to need it.

Around the fleet, the smaller ships patrolled, from destroyers down to patrol torpedo boats. Each 'torpedo boat' was more accurately a single brick in a large wall, each carrying at least one RAM launcher, some torpedoes, usually the Antigran standard supercavitating type, and lighter cannon.
One of the destroyers was first to engage the oncoming missiles at long range. Unleashing the much larger medium-to-long-range SAMs from it's Vertical Launch System tubes, a solid wall of missile was unloaded from the fleet. Using infrared and semi-active radar homing, it was a lethal combination and could not miss such a huge target as a large group of missiles.

Next, the RAMs were released, firing at a distance of up to ten and a half kilometres. Flying in, they were designed purely to shoot missiles down and they did so, across the 'front' of the watery battlefield.
After this came the impact. A round figure of fifty-five of the PT boats recieved single or multiple hits, brutally smashing the small craft before they even exploded, scattering burning debris, ordnance, and sailors all around. Fourteen destroyers and seven frigates also recieved hits, starting fires and, in one of the destroyers and three of the frigates, detonated one or more of the ship's magazines. These doomed vessels detonated in a spectacular sheet of flame, sinking immediately leaving burning oil and struggling survivors, and these were few, in the water.

However, the blow was triple; minutes after the impact, supercavitating torpedoes were detected. The Antigrans used them widely but the opposite was not true - the Royal Antigran Navy had on very few occasions in it's past encountered this weapon. They were obviously new - original weapons of soviet origin only managed two hundred knots, and only just, while these reached three.
Nevertheless, the navy had it's coutermeasures - torpedoes never ran too deep and the RAMs could be used against shallower targets, although with less accuracy than it's natural surface-to-air role. Around three hundred and seventy were sent off-course by countermeasures, a further three hundred and fifteen destroyed, and around forty missed, but the remainder careered onwards, causing widespread devastation among the Antigrans, with no less than eighty ships damaged or destroyed.

The third blow was coming. The outside brick wall had been bulldozed but it revealed a far stronger inner defence. Far fewer of the SSMs hit, and although losses were widespread, the navy was on the alert by now and countermeasures and RAMs deployed automatically. A further fifteen vessels were destroyed or majorly damaged.
However, the admirals had a tactic and a saying, and as the english said, "fight fire with fire"
More of the AM-9 ballastic missiles were launched almost immediately, a larger salvo of twelve hundred, a couple of dozen at a time for a seemingly endless hail of them, which would be detrimental to morale, set to explode much lower. By now, a sattelite had focused, and, through the weather, had up-to-date accurate locations of the Parthian expeditionary force. The stream of missiles were computed to space out in flight so as not to 'bunch up' like last time, and although the effect was more concentrated, it would be more lethal.

Meanwhile, in the relatively calm presence of Antigr and the city of Auston, King Ottestad had put his signature on yet another sheet of paper. In signalled the green light for patrolling Antigran vessels to be scrambled worldwide and two more Oceanic fleets, the nearest, to be launched, the 5th and 13th.

The anti-submarine torpedoes showed a no-hit on the enemy sub. "DAMMIT," said Rear-Admiral Torewa,"keep anti-torpedo and anti-submarine measures on the deck. Deploy anti-torpedo curtains. Tell the captains to watch out for submarines and advise the admirals to enact counter-measures. Tell them to keep anti-torpedo and anti-submarine measures on deck. Tell them to deploy anti-torpedo curtains. We do not want another ship going down."

The expeditionary soldiers on board got on to the amphibious landing craft. They would make their way into habajan and secure landing zones. These soldiers were the elite Ravenhawk company. They were one of the best recon soldiers in the world.

The Ralkovian position was further reported to allied forces...

Dear Tovaryšči,

Here is a revised Solyhniyan landing force (OOC: pretend the other one didn't exist xD). Due to the Solyhnsko-Kurzhivskyj War, we cannot send as many soldiers as we would wish. A 150,000 strong expeditionary force will be landing on our Eastern beachheads within the next few days. A rough guide to the equipment used by each class of our infantry army is below:

Regular Troops:
- Prospekt VK-7 assault weapon
- Prospekt RS мк3 LMG
- Spashkov U-10-C machine pistol
- Spashkov Av shotgun

Paratroopers:
- Prospekt VL-4 "Para"
- Spaskov U-10-C machinepistol

Stormtroopers:
-(classified)

Cossacks:
- Prospekt VK-7 assault weapon
- Prospekt VK-8 "bullpup"
- Spashkov U-10-C machine pistol
- Spashkov Av shotgun
- Prospekt VL-4 "Para"
- Prospekt V9 sniper rifle
- Prospekt VR-6 tactical SMG

Snipers:
- Prospekt V9 sniper rifle
- U-10-C machine pistol

Details on vehicles and support equipment will be given later. We will also be fielding a small fleet, including:
- 10x nuclear submarines
- 5x aircraft carriers
- 15x heavy destroyers
- an unspecified number of stealth ships

As a deadlock sweapt over war-torn Habajan, and communication between she and her allies was all but none, the frightened government began to hand out small arms such as M1 carbines to every man above the age of nineteen-years, because the battered, out of date Habajani army would not stand for long against the might of the coalition, once this motionless, trench-warfare sped up again.

The government's desperation was obvious. The people of Habajan were worn down with the years of fundamentalist oppression they had received from their so called "leaders", and their loyalty would be near non-existent, had it not been for the nuclear strike in Iraqan, and rumours of civilian massacres, and the knowledge that Solyhniya, a nation hardened by innumerous wars, was also against them.

ooc: Yeah I'm probably pulling out. I got a lot of conflicts across my nation

OOC: OK, it was good playing with you, Ralkovia. Try not to lose your nation over those wars!

The Prezydent left his podium, and swiftly left the building and entered his car.

He had just made the formal and public declaration of war on Habajan, but he stressed that the war was against the oppressive, Islamist government, and not against the people. The whole speech was translated into Arabic, and the Prezydent asked the Habajani people to hold tight until the blue and gold "banners of liberation" arrived.

After a five minute ride in the armoured Ivano sedan, Zuravčuk arrived at his command centre, and within another few minutes was in the war room, with select members of his cabinet and senior Spetzpol officers, including his advisors such as Vasiljuk.

"I have called you here to make an announcement; it is not sound to land such a large expeditionary force on the beachhead." The Prezydent, who had called the meeting already knew what he would say. "I have studied the situation, and all we are doing is send our soldiers into a deadlock. We must revise our tactics, and concentrate on our strongpoint; fast-moving guerrilla warfare."

His generals looked calm. The Supreme Air Marshal spoke up first:
"An aerial and mobilized infantry assault would be sound tactic. We already control a lot of AA around Habajan, and though, of course, a lot of those sites were taken out once Habajan knew we'd hijacked them, we have still taken them out of play. We are safe to send mobilized paratroopers into the North to neutralise smaller settlements, whilst Cossacks follow and fight a guerrilla warfare in the more difficult terrain in the North East. We can mobilize our mainline soldiers in the beachhead that we will gain. Then, their first stop should be Tanaba."

The Prezydent looked at Vasiljuk as he spoke:
"The Vovky will also be utilised, and will be responsible for reconnaissance and for disrupting the Habajani military."

"Agreed." said Zuravčuk "This plan, previously discussed and named: 'Plan 52' will be carried out with immediate expediency. The coalition will be informed, though the plan will only be outlined, and not discussed in detail until further notice from me only."

A man of about two and a half metres spoke towards the Prezydent's deeply but softly, with a clear but American accent:
"My Stormtroopers are already forty miles from the coast. The North-Eastmost island of Habajan needs to be neutralised, and with armour and air support we can swarm the island in less than a day. It's a naval and aircraft stronghold, but a lot of its garrison have left to fight the Drvarski, and my units are feared and flawless. Our experts have predicted that the island will surrender within a few hours."

"Thus concludes this meeting. Any questions? No? Then good luck, to all of you, to us, to Solyhniya, and to the brave men and women on the ground."

Zuravčuk was known for being unorthodox, but any foreigner watching would be shocked. While studying the battle plan, and watching the three landers from a feed from a Solyhniyan satellite, each with one hundred and eighty stormtroopers, he had a pair of earphones in, and was listening to an eclectic variation of balalaika, NDH metal, and some of the bassiest house music around. The people loved him for it, however. It made him seem more human than most politicians.

As Vasiljuk knocked on the door of his office, the Prezydent pulled out his earphones and stopped the MP3 player half-way through Moby's "Extreme Ways".

"Tovaryšč Prezydent, the stormtroopers are landing in about half an hour. Another forty will land in about twenty-five minutes by parachute, and we have more troopers ready in aerodynes."

"Thanks for the heads up. I'll be in the war room as soon as possible."
