Your father was a great man. He was truly the representation of the glorious nation of the Beatus. It is truly wonderful that you have dispatched aid in our time of need. However, we must warn you that while the Embassy Compound is safely under our control, the waters to the south of Stoklomolvi are filled with dangerous fighting amongst the Stoklomolvi Princely States (fragmented India) and the other minor states in the region (South-east Asia, Oceania, etc.). Landing in the north-western peninsula would be very wise, as it is currently one of the largest and most well protected communist areas in Stoklomolvi. May the Beatus prosper, and may Tibelt Syndny guide the Beatusians to victory! We have dispatched Syndny to the peninsula in a supersonic aircraft, away from the fighting in Vladistov itself.

Official Statement of the Federal Republic of Franberry

The Federal Republic of Franberry condemns the attempts by the Stoklomolvi government at the obstruction of democracy and the repression of its citizens. The people of Stoklomovi are clearly yearning out for freedom, yet the brutal statist bureaucratic government apparatus has no other aim than to crush these uprisings of liberty. As such, the Franberrian government endorses any attempts against the centralized and corrupt government of Stoklomolvi, as its destruction shall ensure a better alternative. For the time being, Franberry will not commit any elements, military or civilian, to the developing crisis, apart from teams to inspect the situation.

Diplomatic Directorate - Official Communiqué

From: Dr. Michiko Flax, Director General, Diplomatic Directorate of the Unitary Technocracy of Etoile Arcture
To: All nations
Classification: Public, suitable for general release
Subject: Civil War in the Communist Dominion of Stoklomovi

I write to you as Heads of State or Government of your respective nations concerning the grave situation that is developing in the Communist Dominion of Stoklomovi. It is clear that the government there intends to use military force to crush the rebel factions. Such actions in our opinion pose a real threat to international security and stability should a nation the size and strategic position of Stoklomovi descend into civil war. We also fear the substantial human cost of such actions, that will be most acutely felt by the civilian population should there be a civil war.

My government therefore intends, upon full consultation with our international partners, to send a high ranking mission to the region to negotiate with whichever faction is willing to cooperate with us to establish designated civilian safe havens and humanitarian corridors. These would allow our government and our partners to deliver humanitarian aid, establish refugee camps and despatch peace keepers to protect civilians from aggression. This is an effort that cannot be performed by our government alone, and we ask other nations to donate materiel, transport, aid personnel and peacekeepers that will be required.

It is my opinion that a great tragedy awaits the Stoklomovi people, one that we felt honour-bound not to ignore. I urge those nations with a respect for human rights to aid us in our effort.

Secret IC: Purposefully the communique had made no mention of factions or of promoting or supporting democracy in Stoklomovi, even though this was the number one foreign policy objective of the Technocracy.

Those in the General Secretariant and various Directorates were acutely aware there was little domestic appetite for another war,with already so many existing commitments. But the opportunity to transform a nation of such strategic importance from a communist to democratic regime was an opportunity too big to pass up. It was at the very least worth considering.

As Special Forces operators were stealthily infiltrated into the nation to assess the situation and make contact with liberal factions within the country, a delicate balancing act was about to commence. Outwardly, Etoile Arcture would stay by its consitution that required it to refrain from intervening in another nations internal affairs without the request or permission of its government. But privately, and among her allies, she would be working towards the goal of Stoklomovi becoming the world's newest democracy.

From: Aissurian Foreign Affairs Department

We wish to openly declare support for the Communist group. While we are agasint Communism, it can be seen that the majority of Stoklomolvi's people accept this. Therefore we are preparing to head to Stoklomolvi in the form of a Military move to help end this civil war. Aissur wishes to ask all Nations to avoid NU waters, as pirates roam these waters.
---------------------------------------
Encypted Message:

What do the diffrent factions have in the form of Military support? I have seen the foreign nations begining to support various groups. We will be deploying our forces are a major scale. Over half of our military will be going to Stoklomolvi, and the Waters of NU. We will be focusing on the Waters around Stoklomolvi, and will be enlisting the aid of several Pirate groups to disrupt any inner regional fleet movements.

Stoklomolvi thanks its faithful ally of Aissur. Currently, it seems that the liberals have overwhelming foreign support, though this should end eventually since the world will realise that communism will prevail over all other ideologies. Privateers should disrupt any enemy logistics enough so that they are forced to dedicate considerable portions of their navies fighting off the pirates, and thus perhaps some of the liberal supporters will withdraw. Let Stoklomolvi and Aissur triumph in the naval theatre!

FROM: Alexander Nevskij, Minister of Foreign Affairs, The World Soviet Party

The sovereign nation of Stoklomolvi has fallen into disarray, it's former political organization, a communist dominion, has proved to be ineffective and has failed to fulfill it's duties to it's people.

Therefore, and taking into consideration the current situation, it is with sorrow that the Socialist States of The World Soviet Party must intervene to, once again, restore order and peace in far away lands.

As of today, the Soviet embassy in the Stoklomolvi capitol city, has been declared a safe haven for any refugees wanting to escape the nation. Furthermore, it will also become the general headquarters of the Soviet Expeditionary Force to the region and will help, aid, arm and train any Stoklomolvi citizen willing to join us in our triumphant march towards victory, peace and stability.

Imbrinium

15-09-2008, 00:42

In the castle in the center of the captial of Imbrinium

The king was asleep in his bed when the phone rang.
He answers:

“Hello who is this?”

The person on the other end is Minister of foreign intelligence Dir. Livio Greco

“Sir there is a situation in one of our neighboring states that could upset the region”

“I’m on my way down, make some coffee.”

“Yes sir”

As the king got up and was getting dressed he was wondering who on earth was having such problems at this hour. The daily Intel report did not have any disturbing news in it about the region.

The king walked into the command bunker under the castle that was up and running 24/7 365 days a year. As he walked in a LT handed him his cup of coffee.

“Here you go sir I was told you would be needing this”

“Yes thank you.” “Where is Livio at?”

“ Sir his in the briefing room with the Chancellor, Minister of State, Minister of Defense, Minister of the army, Minister of the navy, Minister of the air force, Minster of the intelligence agency.”

“Sounds like a bar room fight in there I better see what’s up”

As the king walks into the room

“Gentle men please it’s too dam earlier in the morning for this what is going on?”

“Sir a few hours ago we received word that Stoklomolvi is in civil war!”

“We’ve known for some time there was groups inside the country that wanted a change but not on this scale”

“The bad thing is that other nations are giving support to this other factions as well as the current government.”

The asks all in the room.

“What courses of action have you come up with?”

“Well sir it’s not that simple, the liberals here would get upset if we didn’t falling and support them.”

The king reply’s “ Dam them we have ties with the current government we support them that’s it nothing more, if something like that where to happen here I would hope they’d do the same for us damit.”

“Sir is that a direct command Sir”

“Yes draw up a course of action that supports my order and I’ll sign it in the morning”

The next morning the king awoke and told the staff he would eat breakfast in the War room this morning.

“Well gentle men what have you come up with?”

“Well sir a full response from our military and diplomatic commands”

“We’ll start off with a NAF (NAVAL ACTION FLEET) and a squadron of subs to head off support and land troops north of Vladistov in lib’s controlled territory this will pull their troops back to defend area and give the government troops some relief. Plus will conduct anti-shipping operations with our subs. lastly we will start around the clock bombing operations on key sites to help drive the anti-government troops back.”

The king replies, “Sounds good when does this start”

“As soon as you sign the order and then we start sending out orders to the troop’s sir.”

“Well let’s see this threw.”

The Chernobl Government had organized a massive logistical shipment for Stoklomolvi. The sent 10 fully stocked oil tankers, And thousands of weapons shipments, damn near enough to supply the whole nation, The first shipment is as follows:
1,000,000 Glock-17
100,000 SPAS-12

100,000 Dragunov SVUs

From: Dr. Michiko Flax, Director General, Diplomatic Directorate of the Unitary Technocracy of Etoile Arcture
To: Dmitriy Anatoylevich Medvedev, Foreign Affairs Department, Stoklomolvi Federation Secretariat of State
Classification: Restricted, Eyes Only
Subject: Diplomatic Recognition

I regret to inform Minister Medvedev that my government cannot at this time recognise the Federation of Stoklomolvi as the due representatives and lawful government of Stoklomolvi while your nation remains gripped by civil war. The constitution of the Unitary Technocracy prohibits us from interfering in the internal politics of any sovereign nation. Therefore to grant official recognition and an embassy would constitute a violation of our laws by effectively offering support to one of the combatants in a civil war.

At a future time should the Federation of Stoklomolvi become the government of part or all of Stoklomolvi it would then be possible to offer full recognition and an embassy in the Diplomatic Parc. In the meantime my government extends the hand of friendship to all sides in the current conflict. Should the Federation choose, we would accept a diplomatic mission to Concordia for the purposes
opf having discussions with your officials on the humanitarian and aid situation, and in how to bring about a speedy resolution to preserve lives, property and the territorial integrity of Stoklomolvi.

Il Korea

Il Korean Capital City

After much debate between numerous government officials. A once important ally to the Il Korean nation had suddenly showed how the nation was indeed a two face. The Il Korean Military reassigned their military forces to their usual jobs, as the Koreans would no longer be apart of this campaign.

Chernobyl-Pripyat

15-09-2008, 17:53

This operation was expected to go well. The ship they were using to transport the volunteer forces and heavy equipment was an ex-WA heavy transport ship. Army Spetsnaz had captured it long ago, and eventually the WA had written it off, after they thought it had sank in the ocean. It in fact appeared as a civilian ship, since the appearance wasn't modified. Inside, it carried 1,500 paramilitaries, 10 T-72BM, 25 BTR-70, numbers of ZIL-131 trucks[some of which were in the BM-21 configuration]. The Air Assault Troops would arrive in the way they usually did, along with standard equipment load outs. They were the only ones with standard uniforms; the paramilitaries used a hodgepodge of different uniforms and weapons, usually because of personal preference. The way you would be albe to tell them apart from the VDV force was white cloth wrapped around either arm.

They were still atleast a day away from the Stoklomolvi mainland, and would arrive at the port mention in the message. This operation wasn't officially sanctioned by the government; it was completely orchestrated by a General.

Oseato

15-09-2008, 18:28

ONS Wilhelm Von Seelow, Oseaton 1st Fleet, Nearing Stoklomovi Territorial Waters

The ships of the Oseaton 1st Fleet cut through the waves as they headed toward Stoklomovi mainland. With them were many troop transports and RO-RO ships carrying troops and supplies that would take the fight to the communists and other factions struggling for power.

The Federation was fully behind the emerging liberal movement inside of Stoklomolvi. Another fleet of ships, the 2nd Fleet, sister fleet to the 1st, was headed toward the liberal-held territory of Taipei with more troops. The 1st Fleet was headed for the Shanghai, if the Oseaton forces were going to have any success they would need a major port to funnel supplies through.

The carriers came alive with the launching of several squadrons of aircraft. The Oseaton F-21's cruised ahead of the fleet and prepared to interdict any forces that attempted to head towards the fleet. Oseato was prepared for war.

Il Korea

15-09-2008, 20:09

After much deliberation, the Il Koreans made it official they would be supporting the liberals in this situation. The Navy's 3rd Fleet and the 1st Marine Expeditionary Unit were called up in action to suppor the Liberal Faction, along with the 5th Special Forces Group of the Il Korean Army. The F-18 Hornets provided cover to the fleet as they headed towards the coast. The Marines were equipped for heavy fighting, along with the Army Special Forces. However, both the Army and Marines would provide support and training to the local Liberal Factions, and would not be directly involved in the conflict unless necessary.

"Comrades, today is a peculiar day. It is a day to help our fellow comrades in Stoklomolvi. The capitalist pigs have ignited a conflict to remove our glorious and perfect ideas. Comrades, today we fight for the people, today we fight for our brothers and sisters, today we fight for Stoklomolvi. Good luck, Comrades. Courage before all else!"

General Patin, commander of the Unified Combatants Command spoke to the leaving soldiers.

The 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th Rifle Divisions were approaching Stoklomolvi airspace. Along with the infantry divisions, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Guards Motor Rifle Division were lifting off.

Sarrowquand

15-09-2008, 22:14

Sarrowquand City, First Town

Two women sat in the office of the First speaker, one sat behind the large and stately desk sipping from a mug of tea, the other was settled in on a deep cushioned chair reading through various newspapers. She held up a copy of the New Sarrosian Times, the front page read:

Civil war breaks out in The Communist Dominion of Stoklomovi, Dominion of Sarrowquand to dispatch humanitarian aid in a controversial plan by the Speakers party.
The woman reading the newspaper was Palm Sugar, Grey 2 sub-director of the First Speaker's advisory. She bit her lip and folded the paper.
"Rebbeca, do you want a sumary of how the papers are reacting to your plan?",
The First Speaker placed her mug of tea back down upon the desk, there was no coaster so she made use of a book she had been reading earlier as an improvised mat, a copy of the Communist Manifesto that had belonged to a former First Speaker, "tell me" she replied,
"On the whole the papers are critical of your plan. The papers percieve no real villains among the factions and dislike the idea of our meddeling like this. They arn't buying our line about providing general relief to the population. They think we'll end up choosing a side. They can't agree on whether we'll be suporting the communists, the liderals or the imperialists. But the rumours of our allies supporting the liberals is hurting our neutrality line a lot. They know that the Speakers party is based now almost entirely on improving our ties with other nations and they don't believe that we are really trying to help all the sides to get the gratitude of all Stoklomolvi".

"I feel that that is something that we cannot avoid, it is my understanding that Etoile, Zinaire and Leistung will all deploy. When this happens we will also be there. Gregory Bishop has that token I sent him?",
"Your pocket watch, I think he got it.",
"Good that will expediate the arrival of a Zinairian diplomat to First Town, we will need send a token to both Etoile and Lestung. Prepare something"
Palm rose and opened the door to the office to leave just as another Grey entered.
"Sirrah Sugar,Speaker Silinky" spoke the man as he entered.
"Sirrah Edison" replied Palm as she left,
"Greetings Grey 1." spoke the First Speaker, "What is it?",
"It appears the Aissurian delegation may leave the country over our percieved support of the liberals.",
"That is not good Edmund, we have few enough embassies in Sarrowquand right now, if they leave it will be a blow to our reputation, you must stop them from leaving, go and meet the ambassador personaly to find out if this is true. Also tell Palm to put together an official message to Stoklomolvi, we are already suffering for this, lets see if we can get something back".

Short description of current war situation:

Muscovy is starting to waver. Communists gaining small amounts of ground in Vladistov. Naval invasion by the liberals from Formosa fails by nuclear artillery. Pocket formed by communist intrusion in the tundra/forests north of Vladistov. Communist exclave in far west of Stoklomolvi under siege, morale plummeting. Liberal pocket in central Stoklomolvi entirely enveloped and being consumed by fascists. Novosibirsk liberal pocket under heavy siege by communists. North-western liberal pocket invades smaller communist pocket to its west, gaining minor ground.

Thrashia

16-09-2008, 03:53

Undisclosed Location | Empire of Thrashia

The man sat in his padded, leather chair with a sense of contentment. Contentment only found when one has found an opportunity to bend events to his wishes and desires. And those desires and wishes were being granted by what the man saw on his computer screen: news flashes and bits of uploaded camera video, details and intelligence reports from a dozen different sources, all on the sudden clash of arms within the nation of Stoklomolvi. A clash of arms that made the man smile in the eerie half-light of the darkened room, making his face look even more bestial than he already was. Two simple words that gave rise to fear and desperation born in a person’s emotions at the thoughts of what it carried in its vanguard and further.

Civil. War.

It was beautiful. Music to his ears. A masterpiece of art beyond the imagination of Leonardo or Picasso. An opportunity.

The man picked up the telephone next to his computer and dialed a number. The phone rang only twice before it was picked up. The voice on the other line asked but one question. “What do you wish, my lord?”

“Get our bags packed Jurgen; we’ve a plain to catch to Andarus. His Highness, the Emperor, will want to know about something very interesting.”

Imperial Palace, Andarus | Capital City of Thrashia

Emperor Maximus Fiorria sighed to himself as yet another government civil servant left his audience chamber, another boring report on some mundane request or need. The civil populace of the Empire did not need for Fiorria to intrude upon every facet of their lives, but every time something went wrong and they didn’t feel able to cope, who did they come running to? The Emperor of course. As rhetorical as the question always remained, Emperor Fiorria still felt it was worth asking. He gave them protection, living space, a strong economy, and anything else his people required. But it never seemed enough.

Fiorria rubbed the bridge of his nose and sighed again, but rose up when he noticed another side door opening. Instead of the usual entryway, this entrance was for emergencies or members of his private, inner circle. He grinned as the tall, white-uniformed man who entered came forward and bowed.

“My lord Emperor, I hope I find you well,” the man said.

“Field Marshal Wolfgang von Brünner, what a surprise. I would think that you’d still be busy with making your new project operational. I am expecting results…,” Fiorria greeted.

Wolfgang von Brünner (http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b184/Upum/Modern%20Tech%20Thrashia/Der_Reichsfuehrer_by_MrWizard44.jpg) smiled up at his emperor. “But naturally my lord, the project is setting apace. But I thought to come here today to inform you of certain events happening within the communist infested nation of Stoklomolvi. My intelligence apparatus has informed me that marginal factions of fascists are held up there, trying to win in what has erupted into a civil war.

“I would like your permission to aid them. While the Waffen SV is off busy with their business, the regular army and my own pet project can handle this. Give them the edge these men need.”

Fiorria looked at Brünner closely for a moment. Brünner’s eyes twitched slightly. The emperor leaned back against his gold-inlaid throne and breathed heavily for a moment, weighing the choice.

“Very well,” Fiorria murmured, “you have my permission to aid these fascists in Stoklomolvi. However if Thrashian interests in this do not bear fruit…then I shall withdraw my blessing. Is that clear, Field Marshal?”

“Crystal clear, mein Kaiser,” replied Brünner.

Without another word the white-uniformed man left, leaving Emperor Fiorria to contemplate what would happen to those who the Field Marshal would go after. It was not an easy choice letting him off the leash. When was it ever easy to let the wolf into the fold?

Kabul, Afghanistan | Stoklomolvi

The extra-high altitude cargo plane set down on the tarmac of the airfield outside the city of Kabul. It was painted black for camouflage and had no national markings. The tower operators had been skeptical at first. But once the name Konstantin Vladimirovich Rodzaevsky was dropped, they allowed it to land immediately.

The ramp lowered and several armed soldiers stepped out, weary. An officer, wearing fascist insignia, walked up with his own soldiers to greet them, or at the very least find out who they were before they blew them to Hell.

A white-uniformed man with feral looking features stepped down the ramp behind his men. He smiled and propped his monocle back into place.

“Where can I find Konstantin Vladimirovich Rodzaevsky? I must speak with him at once.”

Angenteria News International, Official Broadcast

"Good evening, and welcome to Angenteria News International. I am Lenard Brackman, reporting to you live from Angenteria City.

Tensions in the Communist Dominion of Stoklomolvi exploded into war as earlier this week, as opposing political factions took to the streets in an all out civil war for control of the country.

The Holy Imperium of Angenteria has been monitoring the situation in Stoklomolvi closely, and Lord-General Militant Cornelius Zyvan released this info in a press conference earlier today:

*cuts to feed of Zyvan*

'The political situation in Stoklomolvi cannot be overlooked by the nations of the world. It must be brought to a swift end, so peace and order can be successfully restored. I have, with the Emperor's blessings, dispatched the Imperial Guard and Imperial Navy *cut to feed of marching Guardsmen and women* to do just that. We will ensure that the Emperor of Stoklomolvi is restored to his rightful place at the head of His country.'

We will have more as the situation develops. Until then, this is Lenard Brackman, from Angenteria News International."

Кабул, Афганистан | Стокломолви

The black uniformed fascist guards surrounding the aircraft said nothing. Soon after, a political commissar, who was one of the leaders of the Weapons Security Force (Ваффен охранные отряды), approached the speaking man. In his left hand the commissar held a long sabre, and in the other he held a Type 8 SMG.

"Konstantin? He's this way."

The row of soldiers instantly split into a long lane of black-uniformed soldiers, grimly staring at one another as the Thrashians were lead down the aisle. At the end of the airstrip was a tall flak tower bunker with a command structure within the base. The political commissar kicked the steel door, and the door slid open to reveal a man sitting inside (http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd188/NS_Crossbowman/konstantin.jpg).

"Yes, Anastasy?"

"The fascist delegation from Thrashia has arrived."

"Excellent. Let them enter."

The commissar stood aside, gave the Roman salute, and allowed the Thrashians to enter. Once the Thrashians were inside, the door slid shut and a dim light turned on in front of Konstantin's desk while floodlights illuminated Konstantin and the flag behind him.

"Welcome, comrades. It is with pleasure that I have gained the knowledge that the Thrashians are helping us defeat the bloody reds. What is it that you needed?"

It had been a long trip, and the port was finally in view. Upon reaching a certain distance, they engines were cut, and the Captain of the ship radioed the mainland.

"This is Transport-One to Port, over. We are requesting to dock to aid our comrades"

He waited for a reply.

Meanwhile, in the holds, everything was being readied for deployment. Ammunition was being handed out, the "Grad" pieces were loaded up, along with the tanks, They contacted HQ and told them they arrived at Stoklomolvi, and the VDV forces could head out now.

The transport from Chernobyl-Pripyat was confirmed to dock and soon pulled into the harbour. Everywhere, communists were exchanging weaponry and marching off or driving off into the distance to join the siege at Muscovy, which would soon fall without support. The equipment from Chernobyl-Pripyat were received with much anticipation, though to most it was the same as receiving munitions shipments from the hundreds of factories located deep within the Stoklomolvi tundra. Military commissars swarmed about, swamping the panicked communist guerillas as everyone awaited for the supplies to be unloaded.

Brünner smiled at the seated man. He seemed to fit the proper 'warlord' bill. And more than that, he was a man with whom could be dealt. Brünner brought his booted heels together, put his fist over his heart, and bowed slightly to Konstantin smiling all the more.

"Greetings Herr Konstantin, I am Field Marshal Wolfgang von Brünner of the Empire of Thrashia. I and my Emperor have seen fit to aid you in this conflict," started Brünner. "But first it must be made clear: we are here not for your benefit alone. After this conflict is won, and we have made you the new Führer Konstantin of the Fascist State of Stoklomolvi, we will expect you to remember our help, and be ready to repay that debt in full when the time is right.

"However until then, we have the present. Which presents more than enough problems as it is. First I must know what resources, men, weapons, and allies you have in this conflict. Once I know that, I can know how to help you properly."

Waters off of Western Stoklomolvi

Two thousand troops of the 25th Armor Division sat on board cargo ships bound for Stoklomolvi. With them were 74 P24 MBTs, 45 M1097 Avengers, and extra supplies, to arm any Beatusian citizens who happened to be in Stoklomolvi, at the time, and were willing to fight for their nation. This operation was being kept very quite, as it would have great political implications back home, if word got out, a staunch capitalist leader, in a mainly capitalist nation, supporting a Communist regime, against other capitalists. So would understand that the deep relationship between the Beatus and Stoklomolvi, transcends ideological differences, but others would not see past the "Red Menace" to see that deep relationship. Emperor Listless also feared what would happen if the few, yet deeply invested communists in the Beatus found out about this, they would almost certainly use it as a rallying call for their cause. Hopefully the operation would go by largely undetected, which is why Beatusian troops would have limited use in Stoklomolvi.

"Any help from Thrashia to help us boot out the bastard liberals and communists from this country would be greatly appreciated. We have our comrades stuck in the middle of a warzone in East Stoklomolvi, and they desperately need help. Alas, we cannot travel around the southern seas, as they are constantly engulfed by war between the [RL Indians] Stoklomolvi Princely States and the [Oceania + South-east Asia] Warlord Factions. We need to airdrop supplies within this rightful foothold in communist territory.

"Of course, once we establish the Fifteenth Reich the world will be left in shambles. Stoklomolvi shall triumph over the others, and the true government shall rise. Thrashia, if it does aid the Stoklomolvi Fascist Party, shall be remembered and...repaid in the future."

Eastern Stokmolovi, Liberal Territory (northeast of Vladistov)

The Army's 4th Special Forces Group landed in Liberal territory. The 500 spec ops troops began removing supplies from their C-130 planes. Their main objective at this point was to setup camp, and link up with local Liberal affiliated fighters. They would then provide training and supplies for them.

----

The 1st Marine Expeditionary Unit stayed in Liberal waters, and sent two UAV aircraft over the city of Vladislov, and one UAV into the surrounding area in order to find any enemy targets. The 3rd Naval Fleet stayed in international waters, but would be the main air support for the ground forces.

The 1st Marine Special Operations Battalion at this point began a briefing on their first mission in communist territory. Once the UAVs were finished over their original targets, they would begin a recon mission over the designated landing zone, and report any info regarding enemy forces back to the Marines.

One the ship docked, the forces inside began to liquidate the equipment inside. The man in charge asked one of the many commissars who was in charge here, as to receive orders. There would be more fighters arriving once the ship got back, and the next load would bring some gunships, along with more basic supplies.

Some distance away, the VDV transport, escorted by a pair of MiG-31, would reach the mainland within the hour. It was unconfirmed, though suspected, that SRCP regular forces would be deployed.

Vetalia City, Vetalia

The first units of the Stoklomolvi Tiger Legion paraded past the reviewing stand, their commanders standing along with the various government officials in attendance. Dressed in the crisp, standard black of the Free Corps, the men marched in uniform lockstep with weapons glistening and banners fluttering. Their banner, a Siberian tiger on the red-white-black background of the Vetalian flag, was a unique design created by no less than Viktor Sechin, the Protector of Solenial and Quintus and leader of the occupation forces in those nations.

His personal stake in the Legion was primarily one of ethnic loyalty. Many inhabitants of Stoklomolvi were ethnically close to the Vetalians, and this struggle was framed not just as a battle against Communism but also a struggle for the heart and soul of the Russophone world. The volunteers were mostly soldiers from the Vetalian military, promised special orders of merit and bonuses for their service in this difficult capacity and they were equipped with new weapons and educated in new tactics designed to address the weaknesses of the Vetalian armed forces.

The men would gradually be deployed to Stoklomolvi soil to aid their compatriots, building up supply stockpiles and deploying advisers to educate rebels in the use of Vetalian military equipment and tactics. Intelligence suggested that other nations were involved in the process, in particular the Thrashians. Given the two nations' close cooperation in Mediterranica, it was essential that they build ties between their mutual goals in Stoklomolvi.

The 75x Antonov An-124 arrived safely to Stoklomolvi territory. A tall and bald man arrived from a recently landed helicopter.

"It's the Colonel, lets go." 5 men gathered around the Colonel. "Welcome Colonel, everything is now in land. We are fixing some technical problems and lowering the tanks and transport vehicles from the aircraft. We'll be ready in about 0030 minutes, sir."

"Very well, get me a Stoklomolvi official. We need to start putting perimeters around the city." The 5 men ran towards the base Headquarters to get a contact.

Вильнюс, Литва | Стокломолви

Infantry and civilians were running about the city, worrying about the impending liberal artillery barrage that would decimate the capital of Western Theatre 1B. Should Vilnius fall, then the entire oblast of Lithuania would soon fall as well. The transport from The Royal-Union was greeted with great enthusiasm, as scores of citizens ran towards the aircraft, cheering. The colonel from the aircraft was lead to the command bunker in the centre of the city.

In the bunker, the field commissar was arguing with his colonels, demanding to know about the Stoklomolvi charge from the east. Silence fell over the room, as the commissar began yelling upon gaining the knowledge that the attack had never taken place. The TRU men and the armed civilians stood outside and listened to the commissar yell, some civilians sobbing at the prospect of losing to the liberals. Eventually, the irate commissar ended his rant, and his subordinates slunk out of the room as the men from TRU were led inside. The commissar, head buried in his face, merely nodded slightly to let them know that their presence was acknowledge. Then, he lifted his head and spoke in a monotonous voice.

"What is it that you have brought? The city is going to fall within the next few hours. The liberals have siege mortars deployed around the city, and if no reinforcements arrive soon then Lithuania will fall."

As the Colonel walked along his personnel, he felt that the situation was tense between the communist faction. The Colonel had some maps in his hands along with some cigarettes in his pockets.

"What is that we bring, Commissar? We have brought approximately 8,500 fully armed men along with field tanks and transport vehicle. We have thought of you too, comrade. Our transport will be your transport."

The Colonel lighted a cigarette. "Care for one, comrade? The city will not fall. We need at least some optimism from everyone of us, agree?" He looked at everyone in the small room. The Colonel blew some smoke and grabbed the maps.

"Comrades, as the commissar stated. We must defend the city by any means so we must plant perimeters and patrols along these lines."

http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m294/Jucris/Mapa.png

"As you can see, I've studied the map surroundings. By setting these perimeters, we will control the main roads of Saltoniskés which is the only road to enter the city. Beside the terrenal entrance, we will guard the only ports and maritimal entrances towards the city. Comrades, I'm listening."

The commissar took a cigarette, face still appearing glum. He looked over at the map, noted the date, sighed and leaned back in his seat. He lit the cigarette, and took a drag from it. He blew out some smoke, and pointed to several locations on the map.

"While this map is rather outdated, considering that it's from 1946 [OOC: Only the terrain IRL somewhat corresponds in Stoklomolvi, though resources, cities, and vegetation are scattered, different, and centred in east Stoklomolvi respectively.], the terrain has not changed. The lands to the south of the city are still icy tundra, and as such we must defend the urban section, which begins as labelled in the map below."

The commissar pulled out a copy of the overview strategic map of Vilnius and scribbled on it with a marker. The map was also rather outdated, being from 2008 and long before the war began, but it was still usable. After he set it on the table, the bunker shook and the ground rumbled as if an earthquake was ravaging Vilnius. The commissar sighed.

http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd188/NS_Crossbowman/vilniusperimetre.png

"The artillery barrage has begun. We must act quickly."

Outside, explosions started booming in the city streets as the liberal artillery shelled Vilnius. Only time would bring the city down.

Клайпеда

The Beatusian Ships made port in Клайпеда, and immediately began unloading. Truck after truck of weapons and ammunition drove off of one of the truck, while troops and tanks were being unloaded from the other. As the trucks unloaded, a convoy was forming up, with tanks and mobile AA flanking the transport trucks. The convoy began moving out before the ships were even fully unloaded, bound for Каунас.

Каунас

Ambassador Tibelt Syndny, had set up a command center, in the town, though he had his eye on Вильнюс. The word had been sent out, and over 300,000 Beatusian nationals that had been residing in Stoklomolvi, had come to Каунас, and more were on the way. The Beatusian Government estimated that there was a total of 115 million Beatusian nationals in Stoklomolvi, at the onset of the war.

3 modified liberal F-117 Nighthawks flew in a delta formation, heading towards Каунас. The city was in danger, as the anti-air emplacements near Vilnius failed to detect the bomber aircraft. The bombers dropped fuel-air bombs instead of normal missiles, having been scrapped of most of their extra equipment. The bombs roared downwards and released the fuel and exploded, igniting the fuel and then exploding slightly above the city. The shock from the explosions killed thousands of civilians in an instant, and nearly killed the field commissar in charge of the city. Kaunas was decimated, though the will of the people was stronger than ever. The some two million residents remaining left their homes and ran to the Beatusians, who had been unharmed. They demanded leadership from Tibelt Syndny, and would follow them into battle.

The Greal naval fleet composing of four aircraft carriers, three battleships, five cruisers, ten destroyers, ten frigates, and various other ships including logistics and transports entered the port. There, the transports would offload the 34th Infantry Division, 26th Infantry Division, 7th Armor Division, 3rd Armor Division, and the 5th Mechanized Division. The Aircraft Carriers were instructed to fly their planes to the nearest communist airfield, where they would support the Communist Air Force. The first members of the Greal force offloaded were staff officers. Immediately they looked around for some form of greeting from the Communist officials, so the Greal Divisions could get into action quickly.

Meanwhile, another Greal naval fleet was on route to the port. This carried another five divisions of the 4th Corps.

Road from Клайпеда to Каунас

The advancing Beatusian Convoy saw the attack, at least part of the convoy did. They pressed on, and hoped that they had somewhere to go. Near front of the convoy, was a BNN Hummer. They saw the entire event, and the photographer got many pictures. Soon, the world would be seeing the events of the Stoklomolvi civil war on their doorsteps.

Near Каунас

The city lay in ruins, and now millions of locals were surrounding the camp, wanting to join the Beatusians in their fight. They already had more Beatusian citizens than they could equip, but none the less, more had come to support them. With this surge of support, the approuching reinforcements, and the clear lack of adequate air defenses in the area, there was only one option avaliable, they had to move out, and soon. The only logical location to move to, however, was currently under siege, Вильнюс. From there, they could set up a proper base of operations, and hopefully, the commies there had adequate air defense, though it was logical to think so, otherwise, a coordinated liberal ground and air assault would have taken the city already. Tibelt Syndny gave the order for them to start breaking up the camp, and get ready to move out. He also asked for some of his men to ask around with the locals and gather together the 5 who knew the area from there to, and around Вильнюс best. He had the rest of his men organize the Beatusian, and local irregulars into some sort of system, base primarily on previous military experience to determine rank, and physical fitness to determine how they would be assisting the Beatusians. They only had so many weapons, and during wartime, a military force needed more than just men with guns. Those who could cook were distributed evenly through the irregular divisions, as were those with medical training. There was no time now, but as soon as they were in the city, medical personnel would be getting makeshift armbands, with red crosses designating them as medical personnel.

Aboard the C-130s were all soldiers of the Army's 5th Special Forces Group, as they headed towards Kekekegrad.

ONS Wilhelm Von Seelow, Oseaton 1st Fleet, Stoklomolvi Territorial Waters.

The decks of the two Oseaton carriers looked to be in chaos. In fact, it was simply the rush to get aircraft into the air. Several recon flights were going out in order to identify a suitable landing area for the ground forces. Another flight was being sent further south to the 2nd Fleet to deliver members of the Oseaton government to the Liberal command in Taipei, once in Taipei they would act as liaisons and ambassadors to the Liberal cause.

The F-21's roared off the deck and headed for the coast. After the experience with the Stoklomolvi nuclear artillery in Blacktopia, the Oseaton forces were preparing for this major threat. Without the cannons going offline the entire fleet and landing force would be in jeopardy if they tried to land on a hostile shore. Satellites would have to find the cannons if the recon planes could not. Once located, they would be the targets of the first Oseaton operations.

We are currently sending liaisons to meet with the local commanders in Taipei. We would like to support your cause against the oppression of the former communist government.

Hopefully our forces will be victorious in battle and your glorious country liberated from the tyranny and oppression of the former government.

Field Marshal Brünner nodded in understanding. "That's acceptable I should guess...very well. I will see to it that immediate aid in the form of weapons, ammunition, medical supplies, and rations are sent. I will also be airdropping a few Thrashian Armored Air Korp divisions, for an operation that I already have in mind."

Brünner snapped his finger and an aide stepped forward with a map case. It was a clear picture of the land and territory from Kabul to the Gulf of Oman. There were small symbols arranged in the Indian Ocean beyond that.

"As I speak to you now, I have a flotilla of ships heading at low speeds towards Stoklomolvi. Using Gholgothian influence, I've had them 'designated' as relief forces for another campaign elsewhere. However that is but a ruse to keep any curious eyes from thinking too much. In reality they are the 11th and 6th Army Groups, along with my personal command unit, the Iron Legion," said Brünner. His lips curled in a feral fashion as he mentioned the Iron Legion. They were a pet project of his, created but a few years earlier, in the hopes of a Thrashian-formed unit that could fight either on-par or better than Freekian Sentinels. Brünner had been delighted by the civil war in Stoklomolvi, because it gave him a proving ground.

"Once they get here," continue Brünner, "They will stage an invasion on the coast of the provincial territory of southern , and then push north to meet your forces here. This will give us a connection with the sea, and an easier route for reinforcement and supply. How does that suit you, [i]mein Fuhrer?"

A black ZiL-111 (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4e/Zil-111-proto.jpg) sped along the city's dusty streets, its bright Vetalian diplomatic flags fluttering in the breeze. The ZiL-111 was a model straight out of the 1950's, but its powerful engine and quintessentially Vetalian design made it the lasting favorite of the top elite in various iterations of the country's government for well over a half century. Within were a number of figures, hidden by tinted windows until the vehicle pulled to a stop in their designated meeting area.

Four men emerged from the cabin, two dressed in smart business suits and two in the standard military dress of the State Security Bureau, known more commonly by their nickname, the "Gebz", a shorthand for their official name. One of the two suits was clearly another military official, wearing his Solenial Cross and other badges while the other appeared to be a civilian, most likely from one of the Ministries. The dry air of Kabul was a considerable change from humid Vetalia City, and the men appeared to be enjoying the far more comfortable weather.

Surveying the area, they simply waited for their appointed delegation from the fascist rebels. As an official diplomatic mission, ostensibly under the guise of "surveying potential risks to Vetalian assets", they had little to worry about and if there was trouble they knew it would be a matter of days before the wrath of the Vetalian army was brought down upon the perpetrators.

The walls were shaking and the situation got more tense as time passed. The Colonel grabbed the maps and looked at them shortly.

"We must control the primary routes, commissar. But as you said, we have to end this godamm shaking it's getting on my nerves right now. Lieutenant Revsky, get me the Major."

Lt. Revsky ran bervously towards a man behind the doors. "The Colonel wants to see you, Major." The Major entered the small and full of smoke room. "Colonel, commissar." He nodded his head.

"Major, we must eliminate these artillery barriages right now. We must protect the city, you are incharge of this task as of right now." said the Colonel.

"Courage before all else!" Shouted the Major.

Вильнюс, Литва | Стокломолви (OOC: Is this the base?)

25x Mi-28 attack helicopters took off from the base. In squads of 5 they scattered to the city edges. "Comrades, 1 minute more." The helicopters ascended from land and engaged. The 2,400 kg of rockets were fired towards the artillery camps, after that came 30 seconds of the chin-mounted 30 mm Shipunov 2A42 cannon.

Вильнюс, Литва | Стокломолви

As an artillery shell impacted on the roof of the bunker, the entire room shook with great fury, and the lightbulb above the map swung and fell onto the table, lighting the map on fire. The commissar jumped up, stomped on the fire, and charged to the door. He opened the door to reveal hell outside, with craters everywhere and corpses being lifted into the air. He pointed towards a Vodnik which was only lightly damaged by shrapnel.

"Let's go, comrades! Defend the city! We must go to the river!"

He and several soldiers all started running towards the Vodnik. An artillery shell exploded near them, which sent pieces of shrapnel towards the men. Two of the soldiers were nearly decapitated, with another sent flying into a flaming pile of corpses.

"Help me! Aghh!"

The commissar looked once, and kept running. He had to reach the Vodnik to live. Back at the command bunker, the roof was starting to topple onto the seat in which the commissar was previously sitting.

Liberal artillery positions, south of Вильнюс

The artillery roared and thundered until the city was in flames. The liberals cheered until they saw the helicopters, upon which they started reaching for their Iglas. The rockets flew, and several of the artillery pieces were eradicated. Fire and shells were sent flying, and the shells soon exploded to annihilate the entire artillery brigade. However, six Iglas managed to have been fired, guided towards the Mi-28 helicopters.

Commissars moved to greet the newly arrived ships from Greal, and the Greal officials were lead to the main square, where hundreds of thousands of eager civilians stood around waiting for weapons. These irregular divisions would move to fight the liberals who were ravaging their country, and all they needed were weapons. With the majority of weapons manufactured in Stoklomolvi being sent to fuel the war efforts of the warring neutral states to the south of Stoklomolvi, civilians were running short on weapons.

A silence fell over the crowd.

"Captain, they're all expecting weapons. How much ammunition do we give them?"

"Just enough for them to kill their enemies."

"Alright." The Lieutenant and his men were moving crates to the square, where they would hand out everything in the crates. Everything from AK-74s to FAMAS to M16s were being handed out. RPGs and other light anti-tank weapons were being handed out. A few R-1 Advanced battle Rifles were also being handed out. Greal soldiers were around to make sure the crowd didn't go wild and grab weapons themselves.

Meanwhile, Greal Nakil tanks along with IFVs were being offloaded from the transports, and their crews looked curiously around the port.

Civilians crowded to get weapons, and once some obtained their weapons they ran out of the square into their Vodniks and drove off. The commissars oversaw the situation, ensuring that nothing too hostile occurred. The current objective of the communists would be to secure a network between the south-eastern Stoklomolvi and the communists to the north-west.

The Colonel saw how the walls were shattering and killing the personnel beside them. "Godamm it! Commissar do not run there!" He saw how the soldiers sucumbed to the liberal artillery. Lieutenant Revsky ran towards a UAZ-469 vehicle, he drove towards the Colonel. "C'mon Major, let's go get the commissar and what the hell is happening to those helicopters up the--"

An artillery shell had reached the vehicle.

"4-3's going down, mayday." One of the 6 Mi-28 that was shot down came downhill. The helicopters traveled back to base with a majority of the mission completed.

"4th and 3rd Platoon will go disable the remaining artillery fields. Captain, contact the Stoklomolvi's and get 4 scouts for help. We need to stop these artillery barriages."

Just outside Theodosia naval base a taxi pulls and a naval officer gets out and unloads his bags. He stands in his yard and looks at his house it has been almost a years since he’s seen it or his family.

His name LT CMDR Adalrico Genovesi and he is the CAG of the air group on the fleet carrier in the 4th fleet. However, his daughter just calls him daddy. He walks ups his front steps and went to put his key in and a little girl opened the door slowly and peeked out and when she realized it was her daddy and she slung open the and ran out screaming daddy, daddy, mommy its daddy!

She runs out and jumps up into her daddy’s arms, as her mom slowly comes around the corner and seen her beloved husband who she’s missed every day since the day he left on deployment.

Adalrico catches his little girl in his arms and says to her.
“Boy daddy’s little girl is growing up so quickly” she giggles and says “daddy I’m only 4 not grown”

His wife rushed to the door tears of joy starting to roll down her face as she welcomed home her gone too far too long soldier and husband.

“Why didn’t you tell me you where home, we would have come to the base to see you home.”

“There are very few times I get to surprise the two women in my life”

The three of them walked into the house not wanting to let go of each other.

A couple of hours later the phone rang. And Liliana Genovesi answered the phone.

“Hello, yes this LT CMDR’s Genovesi’s house whom may I ask is calling?”

A man’s voice came over the phone excited and hurried
“Yes maim is LT CMDR Genovesi in? I need to speak to him at once!”

“Yes sir he’s in just a minute.”

“Honey I think the base is on the phone for you.”
“Coming dear.”

As the adalrico walked over to the phone he was thinking to himself what could this be about surely none of his men could have gotten into trouble this quick.

“Yes this LT CMDR Genovesi who is this?”

“Sir this is ensign Ricci at Fleet Command HQ you are to report back to the base for a briefing and orders sir”

“WHAT THERE HAS TO BE SOME MISTAKE, I JUST GOT HOME A FEW HOURS AGO!”

“No mistake sir orders have just come down, that’s all I can tell you over the phone sir.”

“Yes thank you ensign.”

As the commander hung up the phone, he looked back and his wife was already in tears, then she says

“Why have they called you up you just got home?” “Why are they doing this to me?”

“I don’t know sweetheart it may be nothing I’ll just go down there and see what’s going on.”

Just a few minutes later, there was a knock on the door
The CMDR opened the door and there was two SP’s sent to take him back to base.

As the CMDR Genovesi loaded his gear in back of the SUV his wife and little girl cried.

He walks over, kisses his wife and little girl, and then rides off to base.

Liberal Manchuria swiftly occupied by communists. Fascists in central Stoklomolvi make massive territorial gains. Liberals in western Stoklomolvi move inland, communists connect two territories together. Imperialists seize some occupied liberal territory to their south in the west. Liberals make an intrusion into Lithuania. Communists intrude into far western Stoklomolvi.

At the Military Camp that was being set up, 2,000 Marines were located there, a small fraction of the 50,000 currently unloading at the port. There was a formation of MCA-7E MBTs (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=545305) partoling the permititer, just to be safe.

Near Каунас

The convoy did not even stop, as the camp had already been dismantled, and the large numbers of locals were enlisted to carry the equipment. As the convoy moved on towards Вильнюс, Beatusian nationals clustered around the back of the trucks, as weapons and ammo were pass out. As the convoy moved on, it left a trail of discarded weapons crates. As a truck was emptied, equipment from the camp was loaded onto it. They were well into their 65 mile journey from Каунас to Вильнюс when that operation had been completed. From the begining, the locals had been divided up, and were scattered about, off of the road, many had been issued radios, and sent ahead to scout out the route, for enemy positions.

[OOC: For all communists who are landing, act on your own accord. You don't need my confirmation to attack. Il Korea, just land in liberal areas while flying their flag (Russian flag).]

Outskirts of Каунас

Liberal guerillas, hiding behind pillars of ice, piles of snow, and small, frozen shrubs, watched and waited for the Beatusians to pass. Armed with a variety of small arms, they would strike at the Beatusians and give coordinates of their position for an artillery barrage. The artillery, placed on high alert and ready to fire at any given moment, stood far away from the actual zone of conflict, and had their guns poised. At the road, an Irr. Inf. Division marched past, and coordinates were given. The artillery rumbled in the distance, and the liberals charged out of their hiding spots and opened fire with machine guns and rifles. Massacre ensued as the communist irregulars were caught in enfilade fire on all sides, and the battle ended when the artillery strike obliterated any survivors. The liberals moved on.

Coast of western Stoklomolvi

A single satellite, flying low over the area, scouted out a seemingly hostile navy parked right outside of Stoklomolvi territorial waters. Another fleet was closing in, and the satellite calculated the path to head for the liberals under Kekekegrad. Messages were sent to the coastal defensive positions, and the loaded nuclear artillery rose out of the ground. Men were running around the coast, taking positions in bunkers and at Kashtan point-defence systems that were being raised from underground positions. The artillery swivelled about, and coordinates were set. The order was given to fire.

Thirty nuclear cannons roared and thundered, calibrated so that their shells would arrive at the exact same time. The enemy would face hell.

Imperialist Areas

The road seemed long. Greal troops marched silently in their heavy battle suits, while squads on the flank kept their eyes out for any attempts to attack the Greal armor divisions. Overhead, two hundred and forty F-22 Raptors were keeping an eye out for Imperialists. IFVs moved on the small road, with Tanks watch their sides. The division composed of nine thousand wheel and tracked vehicles and thirty thousand troops. They were a couple miles inside hostile areas. Behind, self propelled howitzers were to back the armor division in case something happened.

Imperial Baltic State [OOC: A state that exists in the RL Baltic Sea for some reason.]

"Sir, soldiers from the communist faction have invaded us."

"Get the artillery ready. Launch our two nuclear missiles at the communists."

"Yes, sir. Long live the Emperor!"

The two missile silos, covered in snow, slowly opened to reveal two Topol M nuclear missiles. One missile was directed towards Muscovy, and the other was directed towards Oulu, the large port. As the missiles flew, communist S-400 Triumf missiles opened fire, destroying the missile that headed towards Oulu but failing to destroy the warheads. One of the warheads exploded two kilometres above the Greal column, while the seven others exploded in the countryside and above communist AA divisions. The other Topol M missile flew towards Muscovy, where it detonated, levelling the city and its inhabitants. The communist forces in that area, glad that the city could be controlled but furious at the imperialists, marched down towards Ukraine.

Back at the Baltic State, imperialist guerillas in white uniforms and coats hid in ditches and behind mounds of snow, waiting for the Greal troops to pass. While poor and isolated, they did have RPG-7s and PKMs, and would try to do as much damage to the Greal troops as possible before retreating. Once the Greal column marched past, the antitank fired at the Greal tanks and the infantry opened up some fire on the infantry. After a few minutes, they disappeared into the countryside.

Il Korea

19-09-2008, 04:16

The 2,500 Marines landed and setup a base camp, while the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force and the 500 Army Special Forces landed as well.

The Army called up additional forces, mainly three Infantry Divisions and one Armored Division. They needed other forces to help back them up and provide support so they didn't get over run. They anticipated a very tough fight ahead of them.

In the meantime, the Navy sent four UAVs in flight to conduct reconnaissance missions in order for the Navy to conduct some air strikes to help stall the enemy in the surrounding region. There were rumors of pirates and others in the seas nearby, and so 20 F-18s patrolled the skies above the fleet to provide some protection in case of any type of an attack took place.

In the meantime, the Marines began establishing relations with local members of the Liberal Factions, and setup a training camp in order to help train some of the fighters. The Koreans were known for their vigorous training camps before the military, and so upon completion of the training, the liberals were expected to be able to fight for long term periods under the most grueling conditions.

The volunteer forces, moving with a sizable Communist force, engaged a Liberal defense point near the northern side of Muscovy. The volunteers immediately came under heavy fire from mortar barrages and machine gun fire. They returned fire while pulling back to gain some solid ground, and to formulate a plan.

"Kombat, this is Desant 8, requesting Armadillo support, I repeat, This is Desant 8 requesting Armadillo support, over."

"Desant 8, this is Armadillo 2, where are you, over?"

"We're pinned down behind a burned out IFV, we need some cover to regroup"

The BTR-70 approached the area, but got stuck on a small car which had wrapped itself around a wheel.

"Desant 8, we're stuck on something, hold on..." They backed up, somehow getting the car frame off, and advanced on Desant-8's position.

"How many wounded?" the navigator asked, while the soldiers entered the vehicle.

"We lost 4 up ahead, Desant 3 is fucked, No survivors. We need artillery on those buildings, they have a heavy concentration inside, and i suspect they have mortars behind it." The APC returned to where the bulk of the forces were, out of range of enemy fire.

"We lost radio contact with the Stok forces, probably out of range. It's likely that the enemy can listen in on our radios, so if you call for support, be sure to switch channels after."

"Colonel, the VDV have landed not too far from here, they'll increase our total numbers to 2,300. Also, an addition 5,000 Motor Rifle Forces will arrive within 48 hours. They'll be bringing more artillery pieces, probably Akatsiya or Smerch units."

PKM gunners continued to exchange sporadic bursts of gunfire with the fortified enemy.

Upon the first blast many men were able to take cover but even so, the following rounds hit to quickly that many never had a chance to take cover. It was utter slaughter for the Koreans. Whatever Corpsmen they had struggled to help provide medical assistance for them.

The Lt. Colonel sent a report back to the Commandant, notifying him of the situation.

The Navy was able to receive information from an Il Korean satellite that picked up the location of the TMW's firing location. In return, the Navy in return fired 40 BGM-109 Tomahawk Cruise missiles on the targets in the area.

In the meantime, 15 UAVs were launched into Communist territory, with additional forces from the Marine Corps and Army called up for duty. The Marines called up the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force, while the Army called up the Army's 1st Corp, consisting of 3 Infantry Divisions and 1 Armored Division. The Marines quickly were able to prepare their supplies and leave Il Korea very quickly.

Konstantin nodded, listened and spotted a car travelling outside and stopping in front of the room. He gave the Thrashian the signal to pause, and he opened the steel door. He motioned for the Vetalians to enter the room, and then walked back in and sat down.

"I think that that would be a fine plan. In the process we will boot out the imperialists, and the fascist cause will grow ever stronger. Hm, I like that name. The Führer. Heh."

Outside, a band started playing an artillerist march (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DA1y_s2D5M&feature=related). A large number of soldiers, most of them paramilitary but appearing amazingly professional, marched down the main road in Kabul (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/1a/German_Troops_In_Warsaw.jpg/800px-German_Troops_In_Warsaw.jpg). Artillery lined the road, and fascist flags were waving everywhere. The fascist faction would prevail!

"Quite a nice show you've put on for us." The long, nasal sounds of Vetalian Russian were accentuated for the benefit of the Thrashians, whose cooperation with the Vetalian Empire in its war in Mediterranica was a source of endless propaganda for the NDPV government. "Not unlike our own Praetorian Guard, down to the uniforms...good to see at least some of your forces are properly equipped."

The men greeted the Thrashians before joining the negotiations. Only the man in the suit spoke, pausing to light a cigarette before continuing, "For the time being, we must refrain from overly identifying ourselves. However, I am Viktor Gudonov, and suffice to say I am from the Vetalian government on a diplomatic mission. I'd like to apologize right now for sounding cold, but we are in very tense times and it's essential that security and privacy take priority. Perhaps when this is all over we'll have time for a glass of vodka, but right now things need to be kept as quiet as possible."

He paused, took a drag, and politely exhaled away from the assembled company. Vetalians were, and are passionate about smoking, a product of the tropical climate that made such indulgences a vital way of keeping away the mosquitoes and other insects spawned by the country's jungles. It was a nonissue now, thanks to years of infrastructure investment and vaccinations, but cultural habits died hard.

"I'm sure you've already heard of what we are planning to do. The war in Mediterranica is already well in hand, and we have the resources to begin taking a more aggressive stance in other theaters. However, no doubt many nations would not look favorably at a full invasion to support your forces and so for now we are taking a more indirect course here."

"We are prepared to send significant numbers of volunteers and advisers to aid your forces through the creation of the Tiger Legion, a unit of the Free Corps that will be under the command of your forces to serve in whatever capacity you deem necessary. They will be equipped with the best weaponry the Vetalian military has to offer, and are trained in our newest combat tactics."

"In addition, we will be supplying your forces with equipment, supplies, and Vetalian rubles in order to overcome the difficult odds facing your forces. However, we are not going to let your forces suffer defeat, no matter the cost. The Praetor has personally seen to it that our commitment to your war effort will not be in vain..."

"This does mean that although we are not planning to send formally Vetalian military forces in to the country, it is an option on the table. I want to make sure you're aware of this possibility, since it is likely such an action will result in a considerable broadening of this conflict."

After firing, the guns were lowered by the turntables back into the pits, where they would be reloaded. The Kashtan defence systems, detecting a wave of Tomahawk missiles, opened fire with missiles and machine gun fire on the Tomahawks. Soldiers scrambled into foxholes and bunkers.

Konstantin smoked his cigarette, blew smoke at his feet and then dropped his cigarette before crushing it with his right boot. He coughed, looked back up and wiped his hands together.

"We're making quite excellent progress so far. The commies and the imperialists are getting crushed by both themselves and us, and the situation looks excellent. The main question of Vetalian reinforcements is how they are going to actually get into Stoklomolvi, since right now we lack a port. We are blitzing through Iran to reach its coast, though we are not sure how long that may take. Ice and snow are very hard to plough through.

"Unfortunately, our brothers in the north-east have been virtually exterminated by those bastard commies, and their cause is lost. However, if the Vetalians can start demolishing the imperialist strongholds along the coast then maybe we can finish this war faster. After we gain a port, we need to destroy the communist strong points at Islamabad and Kashi, for they are attempting to connect their supply lines in central Stoklomolvi. This cannot happen, for we would be completely isolated from any friendly or somewhat friendly forces. The imperialists and communists have AA guns and rockets everywhere. Any suggestions for destroying those guns?"

A cloud cover started gathering over the city, already darkening as night began to fall.

Field Marshal Brünner greeted the Vetalians, a small smile on his face. He knew practically all the details of the campaign going on in Mediterranica. Lieutenant General Heinrich of the Waffen SV, a fire-brand personality if there ever was one, was handling the situation quite well as far as Brünner was aware. The Field Marshal was slightly surprised that the Vetalians would have the resources to help out in this field, but then again a volunteer legion formation would not be too much of a strain, even with the Mediterranica campaign still on-going.

"Well gentlemen," interjected Brünner, "It would seem that we're all at an understanding. I will be setting up a headquarters in Kandahar, from where I will oversea the Thrashian effort in that sector. Mein Fuhrer, I have several specialists and engineers who will be setting up a communications center here in Kabul. From that you can make contact with any forces under your command along encrypted lines. I will have a similar set up in Kandahar." Brünner snapped his heels together and did the Roman salute. "And with that I bid you good evening. Major Lange will be my attache here in Kabul."

With out another word Brünner left the hall and went out to his awaiting car. Major Lange and a few of his aides stood waiting.

"We've started up the communications network sir," reported Lange.

"Good. See to it that everything goes smoothly, and be of assistance to Fuhrer Konstantin. I will be in Kabul where General Mathias will rendezvous along with the 8th Armored Air Korp. If you have any emergencies, the wire will be open," replied Brünner.

The soldiers saluted and Brünner stepped into an armored car, Thrashian soldiers on motorcycles and a few locally bought jeeps on either side, and drove off in a convoy.

Pakistan Air Space | 0300 Hours

The four black wraiths flew through the air like the harbingers of death that they were. Below them the land occupied by communist forces waited unsuspectingly. As far as the pilots of the squadron were concerned, it was like taking candy from a baby. Candy that could, if left alone, do harm to the transports that were due to follow in the wake of the squadron in only about half a day's time.

"Sickle Squadron, this is Sickle Leader," the lead B-2 pilot said into his radio. "We're coming up on our designated attack lanes. Sound off."

"Sickle One, standing by."

"Sickle Two, we're a go."

"Sickle Three, has the boom-boom stick."

"Sickle Four, C-4 knocking at your door."

The squadron commander smiled to himself. "Alright, lets do what we're paid for gentlemen. For the Emperor and for Thrashia!"

The four stealth bombers split off into different directions, each would cover 1/4th of the targeted province of Pakistan, Stoklomolvi. The southern most assigned one would also have a second mission, to fly over southern Iran. Each made it to their designated drop zone, and let loose a series of B83-type tactical nuclear payloads. Each was set with smart munitions guidance systems and timers. When each nuke reached between 13 and 16 miles above the ground they exploded.

Pakistani Airspace, 0310 hours

The four bombers, stealthily gliding through the night air, were largely undetected. However, one of the bombers was detected as a light blip on radar, and 4 S-400 Triumf missiles were launched to counter the threat. Radar-guided, they would serve as a reasonable anti-air measure during the middle of the night. Nevertheless, the nuclear bombs were aimed at important targets, and should the damage be great enough then the command structure in Pakistan could be damaged to the point of obliteration.

The gravity bombs were dropped, and the whistling was heard. A few moments later, the entire sky seemed to have been engulfed in white phosphorus as the bombs exploded, demolishing various towns and cities. Islamabad, having the most proficient anti-air defence systems, was able to escape nuclear damage, and it was fortunate for the communists that the bombs detonated high enough after being shot down by AA missiles as the main command structure was in Islamabad. The rest of Pakistan was turned into more of a wasteland than it already was. The some 200 million inhabitants were reduced to 160 million, as the huge area prevented any truly major damage. In Iran, the 180 million inhabitants were reduced to 170 million.

The bombers streaked away, leaving little trace save for the one bomber. In retaliation, the communists and imperialists launched nukes at one another, with the collateral damage destroying much of the fascist controlled territory in the process. In total, over 80 million more lives were lost due to miscommunication.

"Sir we have the go ahead with the unconventional weapons" gasped a young soldier as he ran towards the officer. The officer nodded, smiled then walked away.

*********
Half an hour later, the intermediate range ballistic missile (IRBM) was ready for launch, the missile had a cyanogen chloride warhead. This being Bushdome's chemical of choice as it is capable of penetrating the filters in gas masks. The missile was set to explode deep into the fascists territory to the west.

Whilst the missile flew high into the sky, the Bushdome bomber planes were being prepaired to take off, their task is to bomb just inside the fascists' boarder with napalm and where nessacery fire bombs. This was so the advance of Bushdome troops in the west would be a much easier task. "Landed, the missile has landed" came a booming voice over the makshift tannoy. This was the signal for the planes to start their engins take to the skys.

Stokmolovi Coast

The Tarawa Class naval ships were totally wiped out. Hundreds if not thousands of sailors were among those dead. Some had been further inland since they had done their job and docked, but those aboard the ships had no chance. The small town near the harbor also suffered casualties from the tactical nukes fired on them. The local hospitals dispatched ambulances to help take wounded civilians to the hospital. Just another reason as to why the communist regime had to be overthrown.

The primary Naval fleet was still in International waters and was out of range from the artillery.

Numerous reporters from Il Korea photographed these pictures and sent them back to Il Korean news agencies who aired them on their news stations.

Kekekegrad

The 2,500 Marines linked up with 20,000 Liberal Rebels and would gather more as they moved farther east towards the Communist territories. The Marines were equipped with 10 M1A1 Abrams Tanks, 25 LAV-25s, 20 AAV-7A1s, 100 HMMWVs and 10 M198 Howitzers.

The Army Special Forces performed reconaissance missions in Communist territory north of the liberal border.

Meanwhile, the UAVs sent information back to the Navy regarding enemy setups revealed numerous anti aircraft and troop positions belonging to communist forces. And so, the Navy fired 20 more Tomahawk Cruise missiles on the Anti-Aircraft positions, while 20 F-18s were dispatched to the region. Their targets consisted of the large communist forces along the Liberal - Communist border, which they fired CBU-87 Cluster Bombs, along with JDAMs on mortar and anti aircraft positions, before returning to the fleet.

The Army's 2nd Armored Division began setting up a base of operations with approximately 5,000 troops on the ground at this point. Meanwhile, the Marine's 2nd Expeditionary Force also had landed along with the Logistics Group and 1st and 3rd Airwings on the ground to provide air support to the ground troops. The Marines began a very swift setup and almost immediately began the convoy towards the border. The ground forces primarily the 2nd Marine Division consisted of 15,500 Marines. The 8th Marine Regiment began firing heavy mortar on positions provided by the Navy, and quickly packed their things and caught up with the enemy.

The missiles, having been shot down, no longer posed a threat, or so it seemed. The nuclear artillery cannons rose back out of the ground and fired more shells at the coastal cities at which the Koreans were detected to have landed. Every viable target, military or civilian, was fired at.

The some 9 million strong Imperial Guard were preparing to blitz into the western liberal territories and seize back whatever they had lost, and in preparation had launched two ICBMs and set up S-400 Triumf launchers all across the border. The Topol M missiles, which were launched at relatively close range, one missile demolishing Tbilisi and the other soaring to Kekekegrad. The liberal Patriot missile defences shot down the missile heading to Kekekegrad, but failed to intercept the one that obliterated Tbilisi. Over 9 million lives were lost.

The Stoklomolvi Irregulars stood no chance in the ambush. They were almost completely obliterated, however, one was able to escape, and managed to get word to the Beatusian troops. It was no quite understood why the Stoklomolvi Irregulars were doing such a thing as marching, in formation, but it was determined that it was a language barrier issue. The rest of the troops understood their orders, scatter yourselves, don't walk on roads, things of that nature. There really was no reason for the Stoklomolvi Irregulars, or the Beatusian ones, for that matter, to do something like that, we they could move much more effectively when they did not look like an approuching army. Ambassador Tibelt Syndny hoped that the rest of the men under him understood that. As they approached the city, some of the Stoklomolvi Irregulars were sent forward to scout out where the weaknesses around the city were. It was not as if they had uniforms, they would blend in, and just look like another civilian.

The 1st MEF and 1st Armored Division were able to setup fast enough in order to avoid any TNWs. Civilians along the coast were the only ones who suffered damage. The Navy continued firing wave after wave of Tomahawk cruise missiles, approximately 50 missiles per wave to any missile defense systems. Meanwhile, the 3rd Airwing provided 40 more F-18 Hornets to provide air support for the Marines. In the meantime, the F-18s targeted more TNWs. The Marines eventually converged on the TNW locations and fired heavy mortar rounds on the locations.

An additional 2,000,000 liberal fighters were also geared up to help the Marines and Army fight together in the battle. The 120 M1A1 Abrams Tanks would be the first to deliver a fearsome attack followed by the Infantry and the Armored Divisions 180 M1A1 Abrams Tanks in a flank.

The liberals surrounding Vilnius quickly protected the liberals and fought back, and the communist double agents soon pretended to gather intelligence on the communists while in reality gathered intelligence on the liberals. Eventually, it was discovered that the weakest point in the siege was to the north, where the tank division was still moving in.

At exactly 0600 hours, and as informed by High Command, the first soviet landing craft touched Stoklomolvi soil, albeit Imperialist. On the other side, the Soviet government had paid for this site to be used and, since there was no other option, the military had to take it without complaining.

The landing was completed with no further incidents and the first soviet troopers ever to have set foot on this nation got out of their transports and started setting up a perimeters as well as scouting the area for threats. They were supported by a wing of Navalized F/A-77A Kovas (also known as "Havenfighters"). To add to the psychological effect, the Soviet Artillerist's March (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DA1y_s2D5M) was blaring loudly over the speakers installed on the vehicles of the expeditionary force.

By noon, well over a half of a mechanized infantry division was on the ground, the other half still waiting to disembark, an armoured division was on it's way and only needed the beach to be cleared before rolling out, and to top it off, the Engineer Corps had begun setting a base camp, with the hopes of further cementing their presence in these foreign lands.

Needless to say, High Command was happy, all they had to do now is consolidate their position and prepare for one of the biggest offensives in the history of the World Soviet Party, one that would surely be remembered, they hoped, for a crushing victory over it's foes.

Declare war? Ta loca, this is the land of the crazy, time to ride.

Chief Commander Sam Melendez had all the troops positioned on the western border of the nation. They would be ramming straight threw the south western most province controlled by the liberals and capitalists. He was given control of over 3,000 Merkeva VI main battle tanks, 4,000 Puma IFVs and 20,000 BMP-3s, and that was just an unspecific portion of his armored unit. Along with that was a compliment of over 400,000 Cnian Soldats. His command was over the IX Infantry Corps., III Infantry Corps., XXI Infantry Corps., and the XIV Armored Corps.

Melendez had a very sad map of the nation, and all he knew was the province capital, Kekekegrad. Using his XIV Armored Corps he would thrust towards the city, with his Infantry Corps not far behind. The XIV Corps would surround the city and give them the terms of Surrender, declare the province under Fascist control, and allow Cnian-picked officials to be in office. And if these were not met the Cnians would begin their assault, which could have a possibility of breaking down into genocide.

Liberal Black Sea State, Stoklomolvi

The Cnian units essentially paved into the Liberal Black Sea State, catching the liberals off guard and forcing them to call for a retreat from Georgia. With the massive power vacuum in the east, the 9 million strong Stoklomolvi men also swooped in, stomping on liberals who stood in their way. Eventually, the liberals were sent flying back to Kekekegrad, where they held their ground firmly. The Stoklomolvi Imperial Guard, now around 6 million strong, clashed with the Cnians, who were also stuck around Kekekegrad. Slowly, however, the Imperial Guard cut their way through imperialist territories to the north, prompting them to launch a nuclear missile at Kekekegrad. The missile was destroyed by liberal missile defences, though one warhead levelled a large portion of the city. In retaliation, the liberals fired three Topol M missiles from a hidden silo in Kekekegrad itself, and these missiles irradiated Imperialist Ukraine. The imperialists backed down, and the Imperial Guardsmen cut back into now fascist controlled territory.

A total of 95,500 troops on the ground to assist in the fight.

They setup whatever defenses they could, dug in trenches, setup bunkers and made protection for their anti aircraft and mortar as well as their 300 M1A1 Abrams Tanks. The LAV-25s and M2 Bradleys stayed behind the trenches and helped provide additional fire support. The two Airwings with the Marines would help provide any immediate air support as well.

The Marines fired mortar rounds on the TNW locations they had received from satellite pictures. They setup their anti aircraft and waited.

Kekekegrad, Liberal Black Sea State

The city, bombarded by both Cnian artillery and Stoklomolvi artillery, started to fall due to overwhelmingly low morale. Taking advantage of this, the Stoklomolvi men ceased the artillery barrage and instead charged through to the Cnian lines, where the some million infantry and several hundred thousand tanks rumbled over the tundra as the artillery opened up suppressing fire on the Cnians. The city was then attacked by a nuclear missile from the communists. While the missile was destroyed, two warheads landed in the city, erupting in great mushroom clouds and obliterating all forms of life within the city.

In retaliation, five nuclear missiles were launched from Byelorussia into the communist held lands. Muscovy was targeted again, as were several large cities such as Volgograd.

At the shore, the nuclear artillery lowered back into the ground, and the heavy plates covered up the holes left by the turntables. The mortars damaged one artillery piece, though luckily the shells were untouched. Soon after, the infantry within the bunkers and Kashtan CIWS systems jumped out and ran into underground barracks, where they would hold until the mortar fire stopped.

Commander Melendez organized the battle plan. It was simple, too many troops were pushing in on his units, so a sacrifice was needed to be made. It would be another thirty minutes before NP-39z1 would be orbiting past the area and could launch their payload of two tactical nuclear warheads. He estimated that by leaving his left flank and his right flank, each of which consisted of a hundred thousand men, could fall back. The APC, IFV, and MBTs were all being packed full and moving to (Name of City 30km West). Infantry Corps IX, XVII, I, and Armored Corps VII, VI were being moved from the west, however it would take all of the units two hours to reach the city where the remaining 200,000 infantry would make their base.

---Left Flank, 22nd Division, 155th Rifle Regiment, Dazzle Battalion, Charlie Company---
[OOC: Pretty much the same is going on on the right flank.]

Private Glenn was just about to complete his foxhole, during the artillery barrage, when he saw figures in the distance, with that he heard the *pat, pat, pat* of the HK GMG that was in the foxhole next to him. Then the booming began as the shells from the GMG hit against the attacking infantry. Glenn laid down in his foxhole, taking off his pack back he put it infront of him and used it as a support. He looked down the 3x scope of the G36c he was using, it gave him an excellent range superiority over most other infantry in the world. He began squeezing off a round or two, even though his gun was in full automatic.

This continued for about another five minutes until the enemy armored columns began rolling in, these were met by RPG-32s firing at them, along with other assorted and more sophisticated ATM systems. An officer got into his foxhole and yelled, "Start laying down some mines!" And with about half of the other troops Glenn rolled over his foxhole and hastily dug and put in his issued AT mine, plus another AP mine about 3m to the left of it, and then went back in.

In another two minutes many of the (unsophisticated tanks??) lay in ruin they were being replaced by more, and the firing became more intense. Even the infantry that was being mowed down in the beginning of the engagement seemed to disappear, and the GMGs were firing directly at the tracks of the tanks, based on the sophistication of these tracks the effectiveness of this attempt was as yet to be seen...

[OOC: OK, so the plan is basically the same EXCEPT, instead the right flank is not under attack, therefore they're moving around the left flank of the attacking Stoklomolvi troops.]

Stoklo-Cnian Battlefront

Hundreds of poorly maintained, obsolete, skeleton crew operated tanks started collapsing in the field, unable to move. RPG fire flew left and right, demolishing hundreds more tanks. By the end of the hour, the field would be littered with old tanks, burning and melting. However, the infantry kept pouring through, and yet even more tanks rumbled across the field. Even T-28 and T-34 from the Fourth Great War were sent to the front, rusting and unstable. The sheer number of tanks and metal, still, was a great big target for artillery and aircraft. Cannons roared and thundered as tanks started firing randomly into the enemy lines, and commissars with small Gatling guns sat behind the communist line. A million men were marching, and yet another million was on its way. The battlefield, however, was utter chaos.

After around a half-hour, an unidentified satellite was detected flying overhead, and based on the old doctrine killer satellites were sent out to destroy it. However, before the killer satellites could intercept the satellite in time two missiles were flung from the satellite. One of the missiles was targeted by an S-400 Triumf missile, while the other one landed right in the middle of the conflict. It was said that the light from the nuclear blast melted the earth below the soldiers' feet and caused complete destruction of absolutely everything. Still, the communists pushed on. Soldiers ran back to the commissars to retrieve NBC gear, and the old tanks were abandoned as the crew popped out and fled to the friendly side. Over two hundred thousand men were vaporised by the blast.

The left flank of the Stoklomolvi infantry was under heavy fire from the Cnian troops, though the political commissars in charge just ordered more manpower to be diverted to that location. Thousands of thousands of courageous men were being sent to their deaths, dying for a cause that few cared for. Millions were fighting for a government hated by the world community. But why?

In the northern battlefield, the Stoklomolvi troops appeared to be making some progress. They had cut through imperialist territory, sustaining light casualties in the process but largely were unhindered. Sweeping in from the left Cnian flank, they attempted to attack the Cnians through envelopment, surrounding small pockets of Cnian infantry and then annihilating them. Speakers blared out declaring that surrendered soldiers will be spared.

Assorted cities around Stoklomolvi

Muscovy was again struck by a nuclear missiles, levelling it further than it already was. It was an abandoned city, and would remain so until much longer. Volgograd was spared as its missile defences destroyed the missile and warheads, though Tbilisi and Raganagrad were not as lucky; both cities were obliterated, taking millions of inhabitants with them. Murfrusk and Murmansk were also hit, though at the time both cities were largely abandoned and as such only a million casualties were sustained. The nuclear war, for now, would be small scale.

Afghan-Pakistani Border

Fascist troops, now entrenched firmly within great trench systems and bunker complexes, started shelling the Bushdome troops with chemical and high explosive shells. They called for support from Thrashia and Vetalia, since they knew that it would only be time until the manpower from the communists would overrun them eventually. Scores of fascist infantry started falling as snow also started falling, turning the mud-filled ground into white, powdery snow, making transportation much more difficult.

"These fuckers are brave!" Glenn said out loud as he noticed that his own unit has taken out a massive amount of enemy infantry, and yet they charged. The radiation blast was far enough away that the fall out had barely reached them, and even if sick the soldiers has to fight. By now the one hundred thousand troops on the original left flank had dwindled to less than sixty thousand. Twenty thousand of the casualties had surrendered after being enveloped. It was only a matter of time before the left flank would completely surrender if their comrades didn't force the enemy to fall back or atleast link up with the front line. Glenn's unit itself had become surrounded, their last hope was the artillery, as over half of the troops there died.

~In City [Codename] Standat~

Commander Melendez new that moving into help the already battered units would risk his men to radiation poisoning, he just had to sit tight in Standat and wait for reinforcements. But he also began a massive Fascist Militia Recruitment drive, these troops would probably be the best out of the movement, their training would come from the Cnian troops, who may of not been the best in the entire Cnian military, but they had enough training to make a big difference in a battle, and that was what they would pass on to these troops.

Melendez knew it was only about a few more hours, perhaps just one that the troops could hold their ground before they surrendered, but he also knew that another two satellites would come in range, they did not carry any nuclear armory, but twenty MOABs each, the first would pass over in an hour, and the second a half an hour after that. This war was getting bloody, and Cnian blood was in the flow of it.

On the Airfields near Belarus (Diffrent name used?) the Aissurian Air Force had unloaded 100 Da-34s (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13551470&postcount=189), 200 Ath-86s (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13626933&postcount=196), and many SU-37s for the upcoming assault.

The attack would be a two pronged attack, the first prong being a Bombing Run and a Submarine missle strike. Submarines would launch HyStrike missles to burrow into through the steel and destroy the cannons. DA-34s and Ath-86s, supported by SU-37s and Da-34ELs for AWACs and jamming, would move to hit troop concentrations and defenses.

The second prong would br a massive assault by Tanks and Mechanized Infrantry. The tanks would move fast to break through the front line, and the Infrantry to follow through and destroy the enemies with the help from the tanks. Speed was necessary for this to work, the bombers need to destroy the cannons, and the tanks need to break through.

In Orbit, an Aissurian Satelite began to take pictures of the Cannons and Troops concentrations on the border.

On the multiple Airfields, The bomber and fighter pilots were eating their last supper before the assault, the assault being carried out the next morning.

Off the coast, Aissurian Submarines were moving into position to launch their missles from 400 KM away, well out of range of any Nuclear Cannons.

Stoklomolvi space over the Liberal Black Sea State

Seven killer satellites from the communist side spotted incoming Cnian satellites from a very long distance, and when the Cnian satellites were in range anti-satellite missiles were launched at the first, and then afterwards at the second. It was unsure what really happened.

Stoklo-Cnian Battlefront

The converted liberal fascists, who vehemently opposed fascism, fought with a vigour matched by the vigour of a piece of used tissue against a light breeze. Still, they fought for their very dear lives, and shot down hundreds of communist soldiers, who kept pouring through to die. Endless amounts of manpower were wasted in this fruitless war, yet more kept coming. Thousands of thousands of men were killed or wounded within twenty minutes, yet more came. Tanks rolled over corpses as gunfire kept going, and the entire field was an utter mess. Craters, fire, burning bodies, disfigured corpses, and even severed heads were lying about. Still the charge went on.

The western flank of the Cnians was getting overrun by the Stoklomolvi, and it was with very good timing as well. The morale was starting to quiver, though once the Cnians were encircled morale shot up. The infantry ignored artillery barrages that bombarded all around them, killing their comrades, and would remain this way until after the battle, upon which every soldier who participated would be unable to fight forever. The war was just too much. They will have seen enough.

Chemical artillery fired mustard gas and phosgene into the enemy ranks, deadly clouds pooling in deep and shallow craters. Soldiers coughed blood on both sides, and soon enough it was more hell than it already was. The sky turned red from blood sprays.

The still unnamed Soviet delegate shook Iosif's hand with a smile on his face, he was wearing a smart, black suit with a black tie and black shoes. He almost looked like one of the famous Men-In-Black from the movies.

At Bushdome HQ

"Give us around 5,000 more troops and any other military hardware you can spare" requested the Bushdome command that was based in Stoklomolvi.

Back at the battle field Bushdome troops were being poored in every hour to keep up with the losses caused by the explosive shells. As the weather got worse the reenforcements supply got slower and slower untill it came to a point where no more troops could be placed on the battle field untill the weather cleared. "I think we're gonna win this" yelled a soldier to his friend next to him, "Well we'll just have to hang in there and see what happens." Came the reply.

Iosif motioned for the Soviet delegate to sit.

"Indeed, quite the proposition. I assume that you know that the Soviets form a very small, relatively unknown faction around here, and that if we ever gained publicity then the communists would crush us under their oppressive boot. However, if the World Soviet Party aids its fellow socialists by supporting us with anything you can spare, then perhaps we can turn Stoklomolvi socialist. It's a stretch, but with the communists and imperialists focusing their fire on the liberals, it is a reachable goal.

"The population of the Chinese Oblast is immense. Over 2 billion Stoklomolvi live in China, but most of them are part of the communist faction only because they do not care. If we could teach them the ways of socialism, then perhaps Stoklomolvi can indeed turn to something less extreme than communism and could become a faithful ally of the World Soviet Party. In addition, the world would know that the World Soviet Party aided the creation of a new socialist state, and while democracy is typically preferred it is still a step away from communism. What do you say, comrades? Aid us, gain an ally and cheap goods, or ignore us and let another communist Stoklomolvi take the fold?"

Afghan-Pakistani Border

The snow fell heavier until everything, ranging from people to artillery, was covered with snow. The fascist artillery, whose barrels were frozen and clogged with snow, ceased their incessant barrage. A lonely silence fell over the battlefield as trenches and bunkers started getting filled with tonnes of snow. The fascists, wearing stark black uniforms, were ill-prepared for the sudden weather change, as they had been fighting in dark, muddy patches for a long time. Nothing could move. The temperature kept dropping as snow fell further. Hundreds of soldiers started freezing to death. The situation was not much better for the communists, who were stationed alongside the Bushdome men. Thousands of them collapsed due to weakness and cold, and thousands more died. Hell had frozen over.

In Stoklomolvi Airspace. bombers were flying towards several defences and troop concentrations. They were protected by SU-37s and Jamming Aircraft.

The DA-34s were carrying 20 Tons worth of 2,000 lb bombs, as well as 10 Tonnes of Anti-Tank Cluster Bombs.

The Ath-86s were carrying 25 Tons worth of 2,000 lb bombs.

"100 KM away from target." Said a pilot.
---------------------------
50 KM from the Byelorussia border, MCA-7E MBTs and LT-108s were preparing to rush through enemy lines and create as much mayhem as possible.

Behind the tank line, Aissurian Soldiers were preparing to push through the holes that will be created by the tanks and bombers. They were loading into IFV-91s to attack.

"Is our Artillery support in position?" Asked the General.

"Yes sir. As soon as we give the order, they will rain hell upon their heads." Said his aide.

"All right. Let us wait for those flyboys to hit their targets." The General said.

He had Model 43 Raquels (Missle) and Model 41 Stoklomolvis (Gun) in position the shell the border. The Stoklomolvi gun had a 200mm gun, and the Raquel had 48 105mm missiles, 12 160mm Missiles, and 4 300mm Missiles.

Byelorusso-Stoklomolvi Border

Seven nuclear artillery cannons, having been rapidly constructed by the Byelorussian liberals at the start of the war, rose out of the ground, not suspecting the air attack. With large roars, nuclear shells were fired the some one hundred fifty kilometres over to around forty kilometres in the other side of the border, with nuclear explosions rocking the earth. Huge mushroom clouds that could be seen for several kilometres billowed towards the sky.

The Aissurian bombers, which attempted to be stealthy but had the advantage negated by the sheer number of distorted blips detected on radar screens, were around fifty kilometres away from the cannons. Su-47 fighters were scrambled to meet the incoming threat, and S-400 Triumf missiles were locked onto any blips detected. Flak turrets and chaff guns awaited to fill the air with dangerous projectiles, which would slam into aircraft to tear them apart.

The bombers edged closer and closer to their targets, though it would be unsure how many would actually make it.

The GWO was preparing a force to send into Stoklomolvi; 850,000 men. This, hopefully, would give the Fascists a boost.

Coming from GWO provinces all over the world, half of the force would be off the coast of China in five days. The other half would be in the Arabian sea in seven.

We are sending 850,000 troops to help you. Half will be landing in Northern China; the other half will try to reach you through the Middle East. We are glad that Fascists around the world are fighting for the cause, and hopefully the Fascist Enlightenment will one day be fulfilled worldwide. Please send any information you feel that we will need to successfully reach you in a return message.

Later on, we will deploy at least two million troops. Unfortunately, many of our forces are pinned down fighting an invasion of our own lands by a communist alliance of nations.

Revolution of 1956 Square, Vetalia City, Vetalia

Parade March of the Free Corps (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_D1mYBBHgM&feature=related)

The review of the Tiger Legion was the capstone of a true celebration, with the entire nation given the day off to celebrate the victories of the Vetalian armed forces against their enemies at home and abroad. All along the parade ground were various propaganda banners, from economic ones extolling the nation's companies for their record profits to huge maps clearly showing Vetalian control of the entirety of its Mediterranican continent, to rather odd ones clearly stating "Gholgoth is truly your friend", perhaps a not-so-subtle reminder to the Vetalian people that they were fighting on the same side as their former enemies in a mutually beneficial cause.

On the review stand stood the elderly Praetor Ryzhkov and his inner circle, all wearing their finest for the formal review of the Tiger Legion. Of particular note were the gaudy Boris Akhatov, Proconsul of Defense, stood with his personal standard bearer and uniform bedecked with medals. The sallow Yevegny Stepashin, Proconsul of Ideological and Social Development and known as "Vetalia's Goebbels" for his frightening power over the country's masses and skill at orchestrating Party occasions, stood nearby. Around them were the swarms of sycophants and other miscellaneous power-mongers who sought to gain favors and trade them, as well as the officials from the Vetalian military, no doubt somewhat irked at the focus on the Free Corps rather than the actual Vetalian armed forces.

In front of them, and next to the Praetor himself was Viktor Sechin. He wore his Free Corps uniform and formal sash of the Protectorate of Solenial and Quintus, a satisfied smile on his face as he watched his latest brainchild pass by in perfect precision. The Free Corps had been enlarged considerably under his administration, and his political stock rose with each victory for the Vetalian military. Truth be told, his conservative stance had proved wrong, but there was always room for mistakes when you were loved by the people.

Petrovsk, Vetalia City, 3 days later

The first units of the Free Corps, along with their supplies and equipment as well as additional goods for the fascist guerrillas were loaded on to transports, ready to set sail for the former Cazelian territory now known as Vetalian Tornus, from which they would begin the process of moving overland and by air in to the Stoklomolvi hinterland.

With the intel on the weak points in the siege, it was decided that they would attempt breech the siege, and get into the city. Hopefully they would able to assist, and reinforce the Stoklomolvi garrison, until more troops arrived to actually break the siege. A majority of the Stoklomolvi Irregular were ordered to move south, covertly, and then form-up, and act like an advancing army from the south. When engaged, they were ordered to break up, scatter, and reform at another point and do it all over again. Meanwhile, the bulk of the Beatusian forces moved north, to attempt to break through the weakest point, hopefully with help from those who had already infiltrated the Liberals' lines.

As the weather got worse, the Bushdome troops started to fall from the cold. The troops started to get inventive on how to start fires to keep warm.

Stepanev followed suit and sat down in front of Iosif, listening to his proposal, when Iosif finished, he responded in kind.

"Your estimations are quite correct, I'm afraid, specially taking into account that both the Liberals and the Communists have an impressive international support.

However, and while so far the Stoklomolvi population has been unresponsive to our message, if your claim of being able to turn such a large amount of the population to our side could really mean a difference.

As you might know, we have been arming and training what has been called a 'Soviet Liberation Army', composed entirely of Stoklomolvi citizens. Therefore, were we to gain more followers, then there would be absolutely no need for war, except to stomp out whatever opposition tries to top our efforts.

I believe, Mr. Dzhugashvili, that we have a deal."

Iranian Coast, Stoklomolvi

The GWO ships were spotted by imperial nuclear artillery batteries, which then slowly raised out of the ground. When the ships entered Stoklomolvi territorial waters at around 100km out, the cannons started firing shell after shell into the distance. Imperialist infantry, numbering a bit over two million, were scrambled and sent to defend the coast, though this created a vacuum that allowed some million fascist infantry to sweep through the countryside. Communist forces from Pakistan, previously nuked, then marched into the fray, and the fascists and communists battled each other before the communists retreated, leaving half a million fascists alive. While the communists suffered more casualties, they also had more people, and thus more available manpower, but the fascists were nevertheless stretching to reach the coast.

After the imperialists started the defence of the coastline, the fascists attacked from the rear, enveloping and destroying pockets of imperialist infantry. The GWO infantry landed in some of the more heavily defended beaches, though eventually the two hundred fifty Stoklomolvi fascists alongside the remaining infantry captured the entire coast of Iran. From there, imperialists were destroyed piecemeal, as communists to the east watched silently.

Kabul, Afghanistani Oblast | Stoklomolvi

Konstantin received word that Vetalian reinforcements were incoming. Coupled with very strengthening reinforcements from the Grand World Order that literally bashed the imperialists into nothingness, he was quite pleased, and rightly so. The liberals were starting to fail, in his mind, the communists were growing inactive and silent, and the imperialists were weakening. The fascists gained millions of supporters by the day, on the other hand, and perhaps there would be a National Socialist State of Stoklomolvi.

Вильнюс, Литва | Стокломолви
Vilnius, Lithuanian Oblast | Stoklomolvi

The liberals, growing demoralised with constant depressing news of the war to the south and east, were softening in their siege of Vilnius. When the Stoklomolvi Irregulars secretly spread into the city, they had not a clue. They were ill-prepared when the Stoklomolvi Irregular Infantry divisions smashed through the south, catching the liberals off-guard. Men poured to defend the southern flank, and the Irregulars retreated, giving a small morale bonus to troops across the siege. However, when the Irregulars attacked again, this time from the west, the morale tanked and soldiers mutinied, as liberals defected and started joining the communists instead. The Beatusians marched victoriously into the city, as the shelling began to slow. The liberals, disoriented, started regrouping and drafting more men for a second push, and should they not succeed they would be forced to nuke the city.

Afghan-Pakistani Border

The snow did not cease, and even got worse at times. Half of the fascist manpower was destroyed, with the rest demoralised and angry. Eventually, however, the blizzard stopped, and a blanket of snow several metres thick lied on the battlefield. Vehicles were frozen over, and the fascists were cold, some starving. More manpower was poured to the front, fresh and green from the recruiting offices. On the other side, the communists also started drawing manpower from local manpower pools, though they were sent home after the actual Imperial Guard moved into position for a breakthrough. Kabul was in danger.

Now that the Beach Head was secure, more GWO supplies could come in. The nuclear attacks had taken out thousands of GWO troops.

Upper Class Admiral Harlequin Amoufhaz would be the GWO Commanding Officer of the GWO campaign.

At the secured docks, the massive GWO cargo ships were seen erecting massive ramps, allowing the troops to march out along with their large, scary-looking Divine Tigers. Disassembled helicopters were also abundant. A few disassembled HPACVs were being lifted by cranes onto the shore, where flatbed trucks took pieces of them off to wherever they had been requested.

Truckloads of ammunition had been brought from the GWO's provinces, along with medical supplies, food, and other goodies needed for troops. The air power (Fixed wing only) of the campaign force was around 1,500 fixed-wing aircraft.

Convoys had begun heading up North, while forces were being deployed to prevent the Eastern front from being breached by the Communists. A large amount of troops headed North with the supplies to reinforce the Fascists there. One of the better things about GWO troops was that they performed excellently in snow and rain, as most GWO provinces got abnormal amounts of such weather. Some would even believe that they perform better in the snow and rain than in sunny weather (Leading a very small amount to call them vampire duckies).

He shook the Soviet delegate's hand rapidly and then strode out of the room, taking the Soviet delegate with him to play golf.

Afghan-Pakistani Border

The communists charged at the entrenched fascists, making virtually no gain until the communists actually entered the trenches, where spades and bayonets gleamed and chopped and hacked until the snow became a crimson colour. By the end of the day, however, the communists were forced to rout as the fascists started using flame-throwers to melt snow and burn hapless infantry everywhere. The stalemate was only beginning.

Afghan-Pakistani Border

As the communist horde made a charge, GWO troops were already prepared. They had their rifles configured mainly as 8mm Mauser battle rifles or 7.62 NATO assault rifles.

When the communists overran the trench, the GWO soldiers either converted their MI-8A2s into short range .50 caliber mankillers, or drew their kukri machetes. When the flamethrowers had cleared the trenches, a force of Marine Snipers would slowly make their way to firing points to demoralize and cause large amounts of casualties to the enemy. Their white snow camouflage was perfect. Their AGMOEDs would make spotting enemies easily, and their Raufoss Explosive Rounds would be able to cause multiple deaths with a single shot. The snipers were careful to make "Oh shit" paths with shallower snow, so that they could quickly head back to the Fascist lines before the communists, who would have to trudge though the thick snow, could reach them. As each sniper reached their position, they went prone and readied their massive (Nearly five and a half feet long) bear-murdering sniper rifles.

Mortars and artillery were being set up, along with several MLRS trucks. Quickly, they would begin spewing flechette shells and rockets towards the enemy...

Afghan-Pakistani Border

Combined Bushdome and communist infantry fled to their own trenches, nearly a kilometre away from those of the fascists. Some five million Imperial Guardsmen, ready to charge over the trenches with newly arrived heavy artillery support, sat in the rear trenches, while the conscripts and Bushdome infantry stayed near the front. The temperature, which had dropped to -19°C, froze the water in plants growing within the trenches, and hail started to fall from a brightening sky. The communists, wearing thick fur coats and hats, were unaffected, though some of the stashed equipment in the small holes in the sides of the trenches were rendered unusable by hail the size of soccer balls.

A bunch of men carrying huge speakers started blaring the Russian Artillerist March from behind the walls of the trench, the volume so loud that snow was falling from the tops of the trenches due to vibrations. Soon after this was done, a fascist artillery barrage arrived, smashing into everything and anything caught within the radii. Hundreds of infantry were blown to bits, with the remaining hiding in poorly dug out mud bunkers. The Imperial Guard, noted by the eventual end of the artillery barrage, soon responded with an artillery barrage of their own, firing their some few dozen 2S19 Msta and 2A65 artillery pieces. While the firing commenced, a score of Smerch rockets fired incendiary and high explosive rockets into the enemy line. Morale, however, still decreased after the recent fascist artillery barrage, as soldiers started running psychotically around the trenches, trying to escape the war.

The MTHEL lasers planted behind the Fascist trenches got to work on taking down as many incoming munitions as they could, but there weren't nearly enough of them for perfect results. Shells hit the trench, taking out groups of soldiers at a time. As the barrage would end, officers and NCOs would begin ordering everyone to dig "bunny holes", just like the Americans did during the Vietnam War. Eventually, these were supposed to be large enough to comfortably stay in for a long period of time. Such holes would prevent a large amount of casualties...

The GWO troops, for the most part, were well-adjusted to cold temperatures. Of course, that didn't make them ice-men. Their GIPUs helped very well, blocking out any moisture that could have made it through their waterproof synthetic leather boots, or any of their "SnoJaeger" gear. The hailstones would cause broken bones and even a few deaths, as the sheer force behind them would be strong enough to snap one's neck.

The snipers each began selecting targets, usually groups of soldiers, to attack with their Raufoss rounds. Some snipers targeted the artillery cannons, as Raufoss rounds were meant to take out vehicles and weapons sites ((In RL, the Raufoss is banned by the Geneva Convention for use against infantry)). After each shot, a sniper would roll into cover and stay there for at least five minutes before popping out again.

The fascist infantry, hiding alongside GWO infantry, were less trained than the GWO troops. Some succumbed to shell shock, sobbing and sitting in foetal positions on the floor. Others attempted to run, but were held back by their more veteran comrades. A few just sat in the trench as shells exploded all around them, only to be blown to smithereens by another shell moments after. The thermobaric rounds from the communist Smerch artillery ignited entire segments of wooden trench supports, and the fire melted a considerable amount of snow and turned it into water and vapour. Fascist soldiers ran back and forth screaming, some on fire, some being washed away by the huge influx of water, others still being obliterated by shockwaves from nearby artillery explosions. It was quite hectic.

On the other side, it was mostly silent, save for the occasional bullet snapping into a soldier's head. Small groups of communist conscript infantry, untrained and green, were blown apart by a single Raufoss round, spall and innards from one infantry injuring others. The more veteran infantry, mostly members who had once fought against the Siberian Natives, hid behind huge slabs of compact dirt and wood. Far away from the front, almost another kilometre which meant two kilometres away from the fascist line, artillery pieces were being hit by Raufoss rounds. Imperial Guardsmen noted the Raufoss rounds, many of which failed to detonate or had detonated prematurely, and realised that the fascists had support which neither the imperialists nor liberals had. The fascists were being supported by another fascist state.

The revelation brought the entire communist side to a stand-still, until a single political commissar who went by the name of "Achilles" led a dramatic looking charge into enemy lines. Over three million infantrymen poured across the huge snow drifts, wearing white fur caps and coats. They kept charging, regardless of how many bullets the fascists attempted to put in them. Achilles was eventually found to have been shot in the heel and died of blood poisoning. The fires in the trenches still roared, consuming trench supports and dirt. Fascist infantry were resorting to more unconventional tactics, throwing raw nitroglycerin at the communists. Naturally, many a soldier was consumed by the explosion by the disturbance of nitroglycerin, but the for-the-moment invincible morale of the communists was shaking. The fascists knew that if they could hold off the communists long enough their morale would plummet to the point where there would be no morale left, and the battle would be won.

One particular fascist infantry spotted a communist flame-thrower, and took aim at the rear man, carrying the tank. However, his rifle had a single smidgen of snow in the barrel, sending the bullet off course to hit one of the flame-thrower's comrades. The flame-thrower then charged towards the infantry, lighting him and his wooden bunker aflame. His bunker soon collapsed on itself, killing several infantrymen, and some fascists attempted to retreat to the second out of six trench lines. Fascist artillery roared, and shells rained on the hapless communist infantry. Soon after, the communists retreated to the snow drifts, where they were nearly invisible. Stalemate was reached again. It would not last long, however, as the communists were in a fragile position. They were in between the two trench positions, and while cover was plentiful the cold was setting in. The morale gained by the initial charge was lost, and the pessimistic attitude resumed. Slowly, the communists started trudging and crawling back to their trench.

In all, the sufferings and deaths of over 1.2 million infantry on both sides gained nothing.

As the Communists retreated, the GWO troops would chase them. Infantry Killer versions of the Divine Tiger armed with dual .50 BMG gatling guns would be the front line, followed by GWO Marines (Many on snowmobiles that slightly resembled 1940's BMW motorcycles and had armed sidecars) and normal Divine Tigers.

At the trenches, GWO troops were trying to put their allies out using the melted snow. Soldiers would tackle a flaming person and bring them back up before having medics come to take them back to the medical station to heal any burns and prevent frostbite.

More shells were to be fired; Occasionally, an artillery crew would sneak in Hydrogen Cyanide shells. The flechettes were ideal for killing infantry; spikes would simply fly in all directions and rip through anyone in their path.

As the last infantrymen hid in the bunker, sheer irony revealed itself. The Stoklomolvi Munitions Depot was contracted to sell Divine Tigers, and in doing so obtained detailed schematics of the Divine Tiger for mass production. The majority were purchased by the southern neighbours of Stoklomolvi, who just fought each other with them, but a considerable number were purchased by Stoklomolvi itself, largely in secret. These purchased tanks were studied, and a number destroyed in munitions tests. The overall number of tanks sold lands in the thousands, since the SMD was authorised to sell and presumably produce tanks for selling, per contract agreements.

At any rate, RPG-29s, which had penetration capabilities of 750mm of RHA, were taken from ammunition caches and fired at the enemy tanks, which rumbled slowly across the snow. The lighter snowmobiles were sprayed at by the LVHMG-2 (http://z4.invisionfree.com/NSDraftroom/index.php?showtopic=4225) emplacements sporadically located around the trenches. Morale plummeted at the sight of the tanks, as the Gatling guns mowed down entire squadrons of infantry in the trenches. They hydrogen cyanide and high explosive shells exploded around the trench complex, killing a few dozen and injuring over two hundred. Still, since the majority of the men were in the very front row or sitting inside dugouts, casualties were low for the moment.

The flechettes, however, dealt far more damage than the other shells. Spikes embedded themselves into the heads and necks of infantry throughout the trench, killing score after score of infantry. Several gross of infantrymen were massacred, and only kills were achieved by the flechettes. Still, millions of infantry were still in the field, and the fighting would only get worse.

The Divine Tigers had been fitted with SLAT armor, and the lead tanks had an extra layer of reactive armor slapped on top of their Chobham armor. Even RPGs that hit directly would have trouble, simply because Chobham armor was extremely powerful against HEAT munitions. ((The Abrams has more than 1000 equivalent of RHA against HEAT munitions, I believe))

Of course, hits to the rear and top destroyed several tanks.

The snowmobiles weaved in and out when the machine guns opened up, their gunners quickly returning fire with their MG3s or FHASAWs. The Infantry Killers opened up their cannons at any location where they thought the enemy was (Which was easier, as the Divine Tigers were equipped standardly with thermal imaging). The snipers sent out would have to help out in taking the RPG crews out...

The infantry in the trenches scrambled about as backfire from the RPG-29 spewed across the snow behind the trenches, and the HMG men started falling from snipers. Tank reinforcements were called for from the rear, and it was estimated that they could arrive in approximately one hour. The tank divisions consisted of around 9,000 Type 5 MBTs and around 11,000 T-90 tanks, alongside another million logistics crew. At the trenches, several RPG men were getting taken down by snipers, though every time a man died more popped out to take his place, and the RPG fire just continuously bombarded the GWO men. Snipers in the rear, among of whom was the legendary Vasili Zaitsev, started taking potshots at the snowmobiles, mentally compensating bullet drop and estimating distances through triangulation. The Dragunovs cracked constantly, though the flashes just appeared and the man firing the Dragunov would disappear into the snow.

Artillery in the rear started firing, shells calculated to strike constantly behind the GWO advance and spill over into the fascist trenches. Smerch MLRS started firing more thermobaric missiles over the communist trenches into the fray beyond, where explosions and bullets were impacting everywhere.

26-09-2008, 05:23

((OOC: ERA isn't Chobham, however.))

The snowmobiles began weaving behind the Divine Tigers, hiding from the snipers. The GWO artillery cannons were now put under order to give the Communist trenches an endless barrage. The Fascists began hiding in their rabbit holes, mainly safe from the thermobaric charges (If they had dug deep enough).

Several RAH-66 Stealth Helicopters began arriving at the scene, hiding on the sidelines of the battle. They were flying NOE, and their "whisper mode" made their operation unnoticeable because of the gunbattles below. They were to find a target and either call for an artillery strike or take out the target themselves.

The normal Divine Tigers were firing their shells now, occasionally popping smoke to cover their advance. When the enemy tanks arrived, the Divine Tigers began heading back to their trenches, driving in reverse so that their front armor was still facing the enemy. The Divine Tigers pumped off shells at the advancing tanks.

In space, four GWO satellites had gathered. Two of them were "Crowbar" Godrod launchers; the Godrods from them wouldn't have the city-crushing power of a "Telephone Pole", which was located in the other two. The "Telephone Pole" satellites were there only in reserve, in case things got far beyond the ground's control. The Crowbars, however, were ordered to be let loose on the Communist lines and base installations.

The stealth bombers took to the skys, wether they would make it back was any ones guess. As they soared high above the facist guns they unleashed their load of napalm and shrapnel bombs.

The bombers were indeed stealthy; of course, as the saying goes, there's no such thing as perfect. One of the Commanches got a direct detection (I.e. the pilot/co-pilot hearing or seeing them), and a RADAR station picked one of them up. Anti-aircaft guns began spewing a wall of flak rounds, while SAM sites were scanning the skies looking for the enemy. 15 F-23s had been called upon to help find the hostiles.

A wiser choice would have been missiles, but gravity bombs would still have an effect. Several guns and their crews were killed.

The fire kept going. More flechettes, more hydrogen cyanide, more explosive shells. The GWO snipers were still out there, scanning and picking out targets for their deadly, accurate rifles. A few of them had begun heading back to the Fascist lines for more ammunition, somewhat decreasing the sniper threat against the Communists.

As it drew closer to Liberal territory, the helicopter drew closer to the ground. Stoklomolvi was a desolate place, but the assassins couldn't risk being caught on radar. The helicopter finally landed a few miles out from Novosibirsk. The assassins had donned their disguises during the flight - two were dressed as businessmen, the other four as normal citizens. It was fortunate that Stoklomolvi was so cold, as they could hide all kinds of ordnance under their thick coats without attracting attention. Satisfied with their appearances, they hopped out of the helicopter and began the trek toward Novosibirsk, and their first target.

The Comanches were detected almost immediately by long-range radar systems, and flak clouds starting puffing everywhere in the sky. Almost three hundred S1A1 flak tanks were spewing out 38mm rounds, which normally would chew up any aircraft or infantry. The war command for the theatre deemed the loss of life too great. He would be forced to nuke the area. The order was given, and seven modified Topol M missiles were launched to the area. Tactical nuclear warheads, released at certain angles and certain velocities as to obliterate and incinerate only the fascists, flung through the air, landing somewhere between the fourth and fifth fascist trench systems. The mushroom clouds were immense.

Fascist soldiers standing in the trenches were vaporised by the blasts, and thousands more were killed by the shockwaves and thermal radiation. Still more were blown away by the sheer force exerted by the explosions, which tore the ground into pieces and immediately dropped the morale of all men in the area to nothing. Fascist soldiers just ran about trying to get away from the battle.

In retaliation, the fascist command authorised the launch of nuclear missiles to the area, and soon two Patriot missiles modified for tactical use were launched. Warheads were dropped on "no-man's land" and the communist trenches, and yet even more clouds of death erupted from the snow. Instantly, thousands of communist infantry and tonnes of snow were vaporised into nothingness. The communists, however, had experienced worse in the form of weather, and were relatively unshaken by the nuclear attack. Conversely, they fought on. However, the some quarter million troops stuck in the radioactive zone were killed soon after, and the rest retreated to a clean area as the artillery shifted backwards to escape the radiation.

However, soon after the GWO orbital bombardment and artillery barrage opened up, inflicting further casualties as the flechette shells exploded and the godrods smacked into the earth, throwing flechettes everywhere. Soldiers' heads exploded from long spikes being rammed through them, and flechettes embedded themselves into artillery like arrows into the shields of swordsmen. It was terrifying.

Almost three million lives were lost.

Novosibirsk, Liberal Siberia

The city guards, who were stationed at the only two entrances into the huge city, noticed several men trudging through the snow. One of them collapsed, or pretended to, inciting the guards to board their snowmobiles and rush over to help. They noticed that the men were civilians, and took them to the city hospital for emergency treatment. Luckily for the assassins, the hospital was only two city blocks away from the liberal temporary capital building, a huge structure that previously served as a bank. Still, people were swarming everywhere, and there was sporadic fighting in the streets between communist guerillas and liberal policemen. The fighting was complicated heavily by the abundance of civilians and cars, but fights took place nonetheless.

It was the third day after the landing and the engineer corps had been succesful in setting up a regional headquarters as well as a simple airfield, supply and ammunition depots. The Soviets were ready to move out, and their first target would be any Imperialist troops in the vicinity.

The "Havenfighters" made reconnaissance flights over Imperialist positions, marking the targets clearly for the Soviet artillery massed on the small patch of land they now owned. A small detachment of Staat-Truppen were sent on a special mission to disrupt enemy lines, being inserted via UH-28 Black Falcons (http://wikistates.outwardhosting.com/wiki/UH-28_Black_Falcon).

The GWO troops that survived the blast (Few of the many) were protected from areas with less radiation, courtesy of their GIPUs and AGMOEDs. They quickly began evacuating any survivors from the radioactive zone, sending them behind the lines to be examined by hospitals. If they were certified to go back to war, they would be sent to other areas on the line. The radioactive area was put into the hands of troops in full NBC suits. Their uniforms still generally looked like normal ones, but thicker and with different materials. The Divine Tigers that survived were safe from the radiation, as they had been certified to block NBC threats. The older troops who had seen combat in either the Great Nuclear War (GWO's creation) or in campaigns to invade "Fallen Nations" were either unshaken or nearly put into shellshock.

On board the command ship of the fleet, higher officers were arguing over their next course of action.

"Those bastards nuked our men! We need to nuke the fuckers into shitstains on the ground!"
"The radiation would be too much. Why not unleash fuel-air and vacuum bombs on them? We've been stockpiling them and replacing a large amount of our nukes for a reason."

The latter option would be chosen. More GWO satellites would position themselves within striking distance of Commnist Asia. They were armed with "Conventional Nukes" (The GWO had no tactical nuclear satellites; Only strategic ones are put into space, and those would violate thread rules...).

Three fuel-air bombs were aimed just behind the Communist lines; this would eliminate the risk of Fascists being hit by the weapons. A vacuum bomb was aimed at Islamabad, and another was in progress of targeting Vladistov.

The Soviets in the area quickly moved and seized even more imperialist lands, and eventually occupied the imperialist capital at Kiev. The communists noted this and largely ignored them, but started amassing men along the border. The Soviets had finally obtained a large plot of land for themselves. The imperialists, caught completely off-guard as the Soviets had broken their agreement, soon collapsed on themselves and were eliminated as a faction. Unfortunately for the Soviets, stragglers remained, and constantly attempted to use guerilla warfare against guerilla fighters. In addition, the newly conquered territory was somewhat partitioned along the eastern edge between conservative and liberal Soviets, creating a miniature civil war amidst a civil war. Also, the territory was tens of thousands of kilometres away from the current Soviet government in exile.

The fuel air bombs illuminated the darkening sky with the radiance of a thousand suns, and with that nearly twenty thousand lives were lost. GWO satellites were detected the moment they entered Stoklomolvi airspace, triggering the response of several hundred ASAT missiles within a few moments. They waited until the satellites were within range, and launched in one huge salvo.

Back at the trench lines, it slowly became quiet. The front line trenches were gone, and the fascists were regrouping in their rear lines. The Stoklomolvi sat in their rear lines, and a light snow began to fall. The war would last a long time.

High Command was, to say the least, quite happy about the current turn of events. Not only had they been able to establish a permanent base on Stoklomolvi territory, but they had done so with a minimal loss of life for both their own forces and civilians in the area.

This, however, did not mean that the war was over, Stoklomolvi was a pretty large country, and it would have to be liberated one province at a time, or so thought High Command. And even then, they would need to get rid of the guerrilla movements hiding in the steppes and forest, previous experience had shown that a modern force, while able to fight a guerrilla war, more often than not suffered heavy casualties in the process and/or lost the war altogether.

Therefore, the 1st Stoklomolvi Liberation Army was able to obtain it's first combat mission, to patrol and secure the Province of Kiev from Imperialist, Liberal and Communist agitators and rebels. Always following the rules of war, of course.

To complete the set, Iosif was invited to make an appearance in the newly conquered territories, so as to inaugurate the provisional government that would rule until the nation had been pacified and elections became viable.

Glenn held up his rifle, firing endless into the oncoming troops. "For my country!" He screamed as he charged at the enemy, but just as he exited his foxhole a bullet clipped his shoulder and he went flying back, landing roughly on the ground. A friend from his unit came over to him, and asked if he was alright, he told him to hang in there, and that the commander was surrendering to the oncoming troops. It was a horrible day for Glenn, his pride had been shaken to the ground as his friend stood up, dropped all their weapons, and marched slowly towards the enemy, there lives, and that of the some forty-five thousand that had also surrendered, were in the hands of the men that had just killed their friends...

~Back in the city~
Commander Melendez was able to assort a group of 200,000 men to begin training under the Fascist banner (I hope this number is okay?), and the infantry and armored corps had arrived, some five hundred thousand men began forming up the lines all around the city. The two hundred thousand men already stationed there had been building up the lines all around the city. Meanwhile hundreds of anti-missile units were being shipped to the city, to defend against nuclear missiles, it would take four hours for them to enter the city, and two hours for them to come in range to defend the city if they needed to be deployed rapidly.

The Fascist training would begin in the schools, private and public, and would fill every government building, the problem was was that the Fascist had to use the guns of their trainers, thus training time was shortened, and twenty thousand Cnian soldiers were constantly unarmed, and they had no armor to train with, thus Melendez ordered the movement of a hundred fifty thousand L85 assault rifles, plus various other light machine guns and small artillery pieces, adding to that a stockpile of old T-80 tanks, three columms of three hundred tanks each, could be given to the Fascist army, but as of now that would take atleast a week to ship or drive everything into the city.

As for the troops fighting on the right flank of the Communists, a simply order was given, one quarter of the troops remaining, about fifteen thousand men, would continue their assault against the flank of the Communists, and the other troops, around some seventy thousand, would fall back to the city. The fifteen thousand have been given permission to surrender after they have fought for an hour, though it would be a miracle if they lasted that long...

«Bloody shit country,» Corporal Torstein Daik muttered as he unslung his G179 assault rifle and motioned for his eight-man rifle section to halt. He had spotted some suspicious movement up ahead, and decided to play it safe. Then again, in this country, everything was suspicious. That was why they had been forced to wear those ridiculous armbands with the Stoklomolvi liberal flag on their right hand, messing up the entire concept behind the white and bright gray digital camouflage winter uniform that the Cottish troops were wearing in this particular theatre of operations due to the fact that the first snow of winter had already fallen and winter being on the doorsteps.

Corporal Daik's squad was part of Armégruppe 11, which was temporarily renamed Ekspedisjonsgruppe 11 «Stoklomolvis Frelsere» (Stoklomolvis Saviors). The bulk of the six hundred thousand men of the army group were in the process of being landed in the port city in the liberal-held Lithuanian province, and the first units, which included the 94204. Motor Rifle Division which Corporal Daik was part of, had been sent forward to secure a stronger bridgehead and scout ahead on the ground to see if there was something that the UAVs the Cots had deployed in advance had missed.

Ekspedisjonsgruppe 11 consisted of three Cottish Armies, which in turn were divided into two corps of infantry with three Motor Rifle Divisions and artillery units each, and assorted support units including artillery, MLRS, tactical missiles and special forces, as well as army group-level special forces, artillery, support units and aviation assets, plus two Regiments of the Airborne Forces and one corps of armor with three Tank Divisions at the direct disposition of the Army Group commander, Colonel General Munthe. In all, there were 600 000 soldiers on the group, including the 15 000 airmen from the Air Force that were responsible for operating and supporting the COT.36 Blodøks close air support aircraft and brand new COT.41 Sleipner multirole fighters that made up the bulk of the Royal Cottish Air Force's Luftgruppe 91 (Eksepdisjonær). In all, there were three regiments of COT.36s, four regiments of COT.41s and two support regiments of transport aircraft, tankers and AWACS/JSTARS aircraft for a total of 150 COT.36A Blodøks fighters, 200 COT.41A Sleipner fighters, 20 EB-177C Coldun electronic warfare aircraft, 20 KC-130J Super Hercules tankers, 20 COT.16B Kondor heavy transports, 20 C-197A Courier STOL transport aircraft, 10 EP-191B Aurora airborne early warning and control aircraft, 10 EP-191E Apollo JSTARS aircraft. In all, the Cottish contribution, albeit late, would be more than sufficient to turn the tide of war. True, they were fewer in number than the other fractions combined, but the Cots had a few things the opposition didn't have, namely outstanding training and equipment, competent leadership, knowledge of tactics, and effective air support. By using this to the fullest extent like the soldiers had trained on for the past years, the fact that they were outnumbered was negated.

On the ground, Corporal Daik's section was spread out in a fan and advancing on the suspicious movement in a patch of trees in the middle of the hilly rocky plain that prevented their Praetor IFV from coming along on this patrol, with one of the two four-man fireteams flanking the suspicious position while Corporal Daik's fireteam advanced straight toward it.

When he was approximately thirty meters from the location, Daik ordered his fireteam to halt and take up positions behind the rocks so they would have some cover from any potential fire coming from the wooden patch when he got confirmation over the tactical radio from the other fireteam leader, Vice-Corporal Braij, that they too were in position to lay down a deadly crossfire into the suspected hostile position. With eight G179s and two MG9F light machine guns, all firing the very deadly Aequatian 7.94x56 MM round, anyone inside the patch of trees would be quite dead if they didn't respond like the Cottish expected.

Daik stuck up his head and shouted towards the patch of forest in broken Stoklomolvian, «Halt! Come out with your hands up or we open fire!»

Meanwhile, Cottish Kovas electronic warfare aircraft from one of the six aircraft carriers that had escorted the four hundred merchant vessels transporting the Cottish to the area were flying high overhead, jamming all frequencies while spewing out a single message to the besieged liberals in Vilnius: «Valiant defenders of Vilnius! Hold out! Your Cottish friends are on their way in force to relieve you! Just endure a little while longer!»

The message, which was read out by an attractive-sounding woman in perfect Stoklomolvi was repeated over and over again, overriding the communist radio frequencies, making it harder for the communists to use the radios to communicate.

OOC: I hope you didn't mind that I ditched RPing the arrival itself. I'm way late in getting into this RP anyway. Stoklomolvi, you can decide who my troops are aiming their weapons at and their response.

((OOC: I only use airships for strategic command, not as the "LOLUBEREPIC AIRSHIPS". It pretty much allows a campaign's high command to zip around the country to escape danger easily. Plus, it virtually eliminates the threat of assassins.))

"Well done men, we've just lost around 1.5 billion Federal Credits to wipe out a bunch of Reds. We may have just earned ourself a pat on the back," the man speaking had a distinct British accent, somewhat like the classic James Bond voice. He wasn't being sarcastic. "Begin slow advancement."

Afghan-Pakistani Border

The order had been received. The GWO forces were to slowly advance, only moving their lines about ten yards or so a day. Meanwhile, the same tactic of sending out snipers was to be used, only this time coupled with men armed with MI-8A2 Silenced Machine Gun configurations. The MGs would be fitted with silencers and flash suppressors. Bullet sizes would vary; most MGs were 7.62 NATO or 8mm Mauser. In areas where the snow was going off and on, the troops would carry Flechette receivers as well as "normal" ones. Even a raindrop could throw a Flechette off course...

Divine Tigers had been set up at the GWO-Fascist lines, entrenched so that only their turrets were visible. "Tank ditches" were being dug, so that if an enemy tank charge happened, they would have to expose their extremely vulnerable underbellies to the defending forces. This, coupled with tank traps right behind the crest of the mounds would be misery for incoming tanks. Recoilless rifles, anti-tank guns, machine guns; they all had been set up behind sandbags and bunkers. A few HPACVs were visible in the distance from the front lines, sluggishly romping around. M.A.M.P. missile platforms had been positioned near the front lines to help kill incoming aircraft and ground forces, though they'd be far more effective against aircraft and vehicles than infantry. Slowly, the front line of the GWO and the defensive traps set up crept t'wards the Communist lines...

International Airspace, nearing Stoklomolvi

The formation of B-22 strategic bombers had been traveling for about three hours now. They were escorted by several F/A-77 "Havenfighters", which at the moment were refueling, their B-22 counterparts having already been refueled. Two Blackburn Blackadder tankers flew ahead of the formation and two Havenfighters were attached to them, drinking in the sweet hydrocarbons the tankers held. In a few moments they were fueled and the Blackadders retracted their booms. The Havenfighters broke off from the Blackadders and slowed somewhat.

"That's the last of them." a voice said over the radio. "Initiate final phase." At those words, the formation broke apart, with each B-22 flying in a slightly different direction, escorted by three Havenfighters. Their main target was the city of Vladistov. Their strike would be the opening overture for Akimonad's entry in to the civil war presently taking place in Stoklomolvi. Each bomber was set to fire air-to-surface missiles at a different part of the city and arrive at a different time in attempt to minimize risk to the aircraft.

However, each bomber did carry one weapon with far greater range. Each bomber had a single AGM-2013F "Odysseus" air-launched intercontinental ballistic missile. Each missile contained one tactical nuclear weapon that yielded about 50 tons of TNT, which was enough to destroy a few city blocks. As the bombers oriented themselves into their smaller formations, they launched the missile at 3,000 km from their targets - considerably less than the Odysseus' max range. The missiles would cruise in ballistic trajectory before descending down upon the city.

After a few hours more flying, the separate formations began nearing Vladistov.

Fortress Rock Naval Base, Akimonad

Fortress Rock was a big place, but it was small in comparison to the rest of Akimonad. It was home to many important events throughout Akimonad’s history. It contained the first permanent settlement. It was the site of the turning point in the war versus Yuslevakia in the late 1800s.

And now, a large armada of ships was gathering off its shores. Several ships were steaming in and out of the naval base, supplying and fueling. One ship in the far reaches of the port sat dormant, waiting for its rather precious cargo to arrive.

At that moment a tiny speck appeared on the horizon. It gradually grew bigger, revealing its wings and turboprops which slapped through the air with a great deal of noise. As it moved ever closer a Pictish flag could be made out on its vertical stabilizer.

This plane carried the last shipment – and the final Pictish contribution. It was perhaps the most important shipment.

The cargo aircraft banked on a final turn and descended onto the runway, reversing the pitch of its propellers, causing the plane to stop in only about 1000 feet. Due to the urgency of the situation, the plane sat on the runway and dropped its cargo door to facilitate faster unloading of cargo.

As the ramp contacted the ground with a loud thud, several camouflage-clad men carrying rifles and packs stepped out from the cargo bay. These were the men of ARCAI, the precious cargo from Pictland.

After all the men were accounted for, they were hurried into jeeps and spirited away to the now-lonely amphibious transport dock waiting in port. They were rushed onto the ship and into their accommodations for the next few days.

As final preparations were completed, the ship pulled away from the dock and steamed towards the rest of the waiting fleet, and thence to Stoklomolvi. The fleet was carrying with them the largest invasion force ever assembled by Akimonad and it would be used to eradicate communism from Stoklomolvi once and for all.

Liberal Belarus

Greal troops had driven the imperialists out of Estonia and now was pushing hard south into Liberal Belarus. There were no massive battles, but mostly small firefights around the area. Captain Share cursed silently at the weather as he marched with his company down south through an old deserted road. Most of his men weren't really used to the weather, since they were based in tropical Grunt for over a year until being transfered to Stoklomolvi. His company had lost two men in the last battle, if he could call it a battle. It was more like an ambush. The Imperialists had attacked with their white uniforms and quickly melted into the countryside before Share could do anything. Now, his company was among the thirty thousand men marching into Belarus. The Liberals would have the same weaponry, but would they have the same tactics? Attack helicopters flew above the Greal column and Greal squads were keeping an eye on the flanks. The vehicles continued on their way. They had a few arctic vehicles even shipped here from Northern Greal.

In the Air over Stoklomolvi

The mood was tense, each man lost in his own internal thoughts. They had been trained for this moment, some had claimed to be born for it. Their equipment was strapped on tight, their prayers said, and only the low drone of the powerful jet engines providing any noise for comfort.

Hundreds of planes were to be involved in the operation, code-named Operation: Cauldron. The Imperialists were in a dire situation. Their inland territory was surrounded on all sides by the communists or fascists and both were advancing into the Imperialist's despite their considerable efforts to resist. They needed reinforcements and fast. Thus, the riskly plan had been formulated by Lord General Newman, commander of the campaign. Over sixty thousand paratroopers would insert into both imperialist territorials inland and secure a front. It was risky because if they lost local air superiority- they would die from lack of supplies. They special forces groups attached to the paratroopers would immediately secure two objectives. The first was the local airports, whether community or international. This would allow for not only additional transport planes to enter, but also allow for the basing of strike aircraft which would be critical to the defense. Their second objective was to secure the main highways and railways to disallow enemy movement.

To make matters worse, the paratroopers had little in the way of heavy equipment, they were severely lacking in both artillery and anti-tank firepower. A concentrated armor attack against their positions had a good chance of being repelled, but only with heavy casualties. Over 120,000 men were being risked in both operations and the pressure was mounting.

The transport aircraft wave was being preceded by a large strike force consisting of both Warhawk Tactical Bomber aircraft and the F-50 Liberty Fighters, more commonly known as Haven fighters. They would clear any enemy air defenses in the path of the transport wave and strike at any enemy positions or bases. Yellow Zone, to the west of the fascist state of Islamabad, would be secured first, and then Blue Zone, to the north, would be next.

Yellow Zone was first. The forward strike group would move through the narrowest area that the Fascists controlled before reaching Imperialist territory. This would limit their exposure to the enemy air defenses and interceptors, but they still expected a large fight. The ASF-50's were there first, backed by several large AWACS aircraft and augmented further by Imperialist ground radar. Liberty fighter's main strength was not its dogfighting ability but rather their beyond-visual-range ability. Backed by tyrandis' made missiles that could engaged enemy fighters at 150 kilometers or more, the three hundred fighters expected to eliminate the enemy air fighters quickly, efficiently, and with minimal casualties. The Warhawks, meanwhile, hung back and prepared to engage any enemy airfields or SAM sites that they spotted.

Blue Zone was next, but like the operations in Yellow Zone, the escort pilots there fully expected to be engaged by communist air defenses.

Meanwhile, the Fourth Armada comprising of the 11th and 7th fleets of the Prussian Navy set sail from TPF to Red Zone, the only coastal area the Imperialists owned. Over two million troops and thousands of tanks and armored vehicles would be deployed to this area and there they would begin to push the communists back. But they were at least a week away, and the entire campaign hinged on the success or failure of Operation: Cauldron.

Imperialist Ukraine [OOC: TWSP, you could try, though I cannot guarantee that the communists won't fire on you.]

The Soviet celebrations were cut short the moment the forces from the PeoplesFreedom landed on the shore. The Holy Reich of the PeoplesFreedom was notorious as they were known for destroying the rather unstable state of Greal and then attempting to occupy a large portion of Greali land. Iosif, noticing the carnage, starting laying out battle plans for the Soviets in Ukraine while considering a wide propaganda campaign to gain support for the Soviet cause. At any rate, the 2 million men and the thousands of tanks that had landed on the coast caught the Soviets off guard, though the cliffs at the side of the prevented most movements. While they were essentially stuck for the moment, as the Soviets had brought down large portions of the cliff as to become inaccessible, if they were not countered by the Soviets soon then they would be defeated. Essentially, the TPFian forces were a superheated pot that would explode if left alone for too long.

Stoklo-Cnian Front

With the left flank of the Cnians being decimated, morale soared as news spread through the ranks. The Cnian infantry, all having surrendered, were disarmed and put in Ural-4320 trucks and taken to POW camps far away from any possible landing site. At the POW camps, the infantry were treated like normal citizens of Stoklomolvi; they were assigned menial tasks, such as doing nothing and digging holes. In the meanwhile, they were given rationed amounts of food and free healthcare, alongside other minor luxuries such as television.

At the front, the Stoklomolvi military smashed through the Cnian left front, making a huge protrusion into the Cnian occupied territory. Angry liberals who had been displaced by the Cnian advance fought both the Stoklomolvi and the Cnians with stolen heavy weapons, including RPG-29s and LVHMG-2s. The Stoklomolvi spared none and massacred the armed civilians, suffering moderate casualties in the process. At the city of Kekekegrad, the main point of conflict, Stoklomolvi and Cnians alike were fighting the liberals remaining in the city. Fascist supporters shot at everybody, including the Cnians, and eventually the Stoklomolvi declared that the city of Kekekegrad was to be levelled completely. Thus, a huge salvo of thermobaric rounds were fired from Smerch launchers, igniting the entire city and spreading the radiation from the nuclear missile launches everywhere. Stoklomolvi infantry, who were actually in the city, were killed, as were the liberals and fascists. Gas and water mains snapped, sending natural gas and water spewing everywhere. The gas caught fire, while the water evaporated. Eventually, huge explosions erupted from large concentrations of gas igniting at once. By this time, however, the vast majority of liberals remaining were smoking corpses while the fascists were nearly annihilated. The Cnians made a minor gain south of Kekekegrad.

The communists to the far south, or the right flank of the Cnians, bashed through the thinly spread Cnian forces and made a pocket into Cnian occupied land. Along the way, liberals sprouted and resisted, but the resistance was quelled when the liberals were shot and burnt. Not much else with the liberals happened. However, the Cnians had managed to raise two hundred thousand fascist infantry, and these infantry were sent to pile against the great communist tidal wave. Nearly seventy thousand defected and ran away, with the remainder rather demoralised and unmotivated. After all, they had just been conquered and were being forced to fight again. They fought half-heartedly, failing to take cover behind the significant water bottle sized rocks, and were almost slaughtered. However, they did cause significant casualties, taking down Stoklomolvi infantry at a one to one ratio.

Вильнюс, Литва | Стокломолви
Vilnius, Lithuanian Oblast | Stoklomolvi

The Cottish military, which touched down and just ploughed through to Byelorussia, served as a life-saving boost to the liberal morale. Before, the liberals were on the verge of surrendering, but now, with Cottish support, they fought harder than ever. They tried their hardest to beat back the communists, which grew more difficult each day with Greali troops from the north, Aissurian troops from the north-east, and Stoklomolvi from all directions. They were enveloped, but with the Cottish reinforcement they held on to their ideals for a little longer.

Infantry throughout the region started realising that a message was being played on their radios, angering the communists and instilling some sense of hope in the minds of liberals. The communists merely switched to one of their custom frequencies that was invented for wartime use. They had thousands of custom frequencies, most of them in the extremely high frequency range. Some frequencies were over 250 GHz, while others were over 300 GHz. At any rate, the minor disruption did little, but did inflame the morale of the liberals further. Confident, the liberals massed forward to Vilnius, bombarding the city again while pushing the communists back to the city. Stalemate ensued, as some five million communists were pitted against four million liberals, both sides with heavy artillery. Cotland would make all the difference. With its advanced weapons, the Cottish military surged forward and started occupying Vilnius, forcing the communists out of the city and into the countryside. With Vilnius lost, the centre of operations for the Lithuanian region was also lost, and the entire sector was in chaos. It took almost an hour for the regional operation to be connected to the mainframe in Vladistov, where top brass commandeered the troop movements directly.

In a small thicket of trees, a single communist infantry was tying his shoe when suddenly a huge army appeared around him. Frightened, he pulled out his spade and started to rapidly dig a hole, so quickly in fact that he managed to dig himself into the liberal tunnel network in the area. He tumbled down, and upon realising where he was, started running. Unfortunately for the unnamed soldier, he was gunned down by a liberal who had spotted him with his MG42.

Afghan-Pakistani Border

The Stoklomolvi and the fascists were at an impasse. The fascists attempted to advance, and were met with a hail of 15mm rounds from the HMGs that almost literally formed a great wall. Nuclear warfare would do little, as the two sides were almost on top of one another. The GWO military, which comprised only a tiny sector of the fascist advance, was by far the most successful, but only until some of the extremely skilled and experienced Imperial Guard divisions appeared. The 501st Legion, which was comprised of ten divisions, each with 10,000 men, was one of the best in the entire military, and had been deployed to the Afghan-Pakistani border. The 352nd Reg. Inf. Division was also deployed to the area, being one of the hardiest anti-invasion force divisions to have ever been trained.

Spotters spotted small turrets sticking out of the ground as the GWO infantry advanced, and then relayed coordinates to artillery in the rear. The artillery then unleashed a hail of high explosive and occasional acidic shells, the majority of which burst slightly above the enemy to maximise fragmentation damage. The acidic shells, which were filled with an acid powerful enough to dissolve through steel in half a minute, detonated several metres above the ground.

Владистов, Владистов ОбластЬ | Стокломолви
Vladistov, Vladistov Oblast'' | Stoklomolvi

From an extremely long range, the bombers had launched missiles into low-earth orbit and the SDI system soon detected missiles flying over Stoklomolvi. The detection stations soon decided that the missiles were going to hit Vladistov, and relayed the information to anti-ballistic missile missile silos in eastern Stoklomolvi. When the missiles were approximately three thousand kilometres away from the capital, seventeen S-400 Triumf silos unleashed their barrage of missiles, which were pinpointed with deadly accuracy at the incoming Akimonadi missiles.

Northern Byelorussia

The Greali men soon met with the Aissurian men, who having survived the nuclear artillery attack had marched around the residual radiation and invaded parts of Byelorussia. The liberals were far less adept at the imperialists at combat, since they were ideologically, not realistically driven. The eastern Byelorussians wore bright red and grey uniforms that stood in stark contrast to the snow around them, and this lack of camouflage would bring about their demise. Sure, the Byelorussians, having studied Jominian theory, were quite strong in their resolve, but would nevertheless be outmatched by superior weapons.

Southern Iran

The TPFian invasion was soon met with the fire from hundreds of Patriot missiles and Bofors guns, as the huge air invasion was detected by captured radar stations. The communists to the south, sensing an opportunity to cut off the western fascists from their eastern brothers, slashed through the life-line between the fascist capital and the sea, which instantly lopped off a considerable portion of the morale of troops on both sides of the pocket. The TPFians, who had been focused on by the fascists, soon were left alone, as the fascists met to deal with the incoming communist threat. Imperialists from the north, wearing white coats and hats, ambushed the fascists everywhere, severing supply lines and draining morale even further. The GWO, however, was still the bulwark that prevented the fascists from disappearing completely; while the fascists were weakened, the spirit of the Grand World Order lived on in the hearts and minds of the fascists, and this alone gave them enough morale to continue fighting. Like the infamous Tet offensive between the state of Aneriko and Dai Viet, this "joint invasion" by the communists and the imperialists of the fascists severely weakened the heavy fascist dominance in the region. The imperialists were revived, and the new capital was established at Tehran.

Liberal Belarus

Another ambush struck the convoy. The Liberals seemed to be wearing bright red uniforms. It didn't matter to Captain Share. He fired at the colorful targets with his R-1 Advanced Battle Rifle. The machine guns had mowed down the attackers, and they didn't seem hopeful of winning. The first victim of the ambush came when Private Sanders was struck by a bullet to his neck. Share looked in dismay at his bleeding comrade and ignoring bullets, he called for medics and dragged Sanders to behind a tank, which was safe for now. Attack Helicopters soon drove the liberals away, and the convoy continued their advance into Belarus. He looked in awe at a group of Greal fighters, who were going to soften up the enemy positions, flying overhead. Followed by Night Striker Bombers. The bombers would blow the enemy positions back to the stone age. Now, two more Greal divisions were entering the countryside to the east to hit Minsk. Minsk was a target for Lyran Advanced Cruise Missiles that were targeting military installations. Captain Share and the rest of the army never liked urban battles and hoped that they wouldn't have one.

Cotland

01-10-2008, 10:51

«What the...» Cpl. Daik muttered when there was no response from the patch of trees, but rather a muffled burst of machine gun fire that sounded like it was fired from some sort of enclosed environment. Upon further investigation, the infantry section discovered a hole that seemed to be the entrance to a tunnel. Not entirely sure what to do, Daik radioed it in to his platoon sergeant, who informed the lieutenant commanding the platoon, who in turn contacted the captain commanding the company.

After about twenty minutes of guarding the hole, the news had reached the division commander, who decided to play it safe. Daik was ordered to note the exact position on the GPS and then get away from the place as quickly as possible.

Twelve minutes later, a cylindrical metal object with a fiery rear end and a pointy front end with wings smashed down through the man-sized hole, where it disappeared in a hail of fire and vaccume. The thermobaric warhead in the missile would surely suck out the air from the tunnel, which was suspected to be a communist strongpoint, and collapse it along with its inhabitants.

Not much later, a collumn of Cottish Thunderhorse IIM main battle tanks rolled past the rocky field, where some of the crewmen commented on the smoke coming from the small patch of forest in the distance, but none of them thought any more of it as they continued their advance towards Vilnius. The entirety of the 11501. Tank Division was rolling towards Vilnius, supporting the 94. Army that was tasked with reinforcing the liberals holding the city.

When within range the next day, the 94. Army's two MLR Brigades would take advantage of the reconnaissance information issued by the UAVs the Cottish had dispatched to circle over Vilnius, and unleash unholy hell upon the communist positions, something they were quite capable of doing through the efficient use of the Koronea MLR vehicles, which each had twelve 300 MM artillery rockets filled with various submunitions, whether it be anti-tank, anti-personell, landmines or incendiary munitions.

In a co-ordinated attack, all 288 Koroneas of the 94. Army began opening fire in conjunction with the 250 MM rockets from the organic 18-vehicle M207 MLRS battalion in each of the six Motor Rifle Division and the tank division, releasing thousands of artillery rockets which would release their payload upon the communist artillery positions while a regiment of fifty COT.36A Blodøks close air support aircraft began harrassing the enemy positions, dropping bombs, releasing 70 MM CVR7 rockets or firing its 30 MM cannon at the hostile positions, supported by COT.41A Sleipner fighters tasked with air cover.

After the first punishing strike from the Koroneas, the organic artillery units in the six Motor Rifle Divisions would begin precision strikes against communist positions and strongpoints, supporting the Cottish infantry as they began their assault upon Vilnius, attacking from the south-west and the north in a two-pronged manouver. Using their equipment and firepower to the utmost, the Cottish infantry would systematically clear each room in each building they passed with overwhealming firepower, including fragmentation and concussion hand grenades and flamethrowers if necessary, making sure there weren't any communists hiding there, while the armored vehicles would dominate the streets.

It was classical FIBUA (Fighting in Built-Up Areas) tactics, with the infantry controlling the micro-level and the armored vehicles controlled the macro-level, with the artillery and air support being on hand to help root out any hostile strong-point, as well as Cottish marksmen and snipers that would provide long-range cover as the Cottish infantry methodically advanced, picking off enemy snipers and RPG teams and decimating potential counter-attacks from afar. All in all, the Cottish expected to have the entire FIBUA spectrum covered.

Every twenty minutes, the Koroneas and M207s would fire off a new salvo before reloading again, a process that took exactly twenty minutes. This process would continue until there were no more targets worthy of the MLRS units.

Meanwhile, Cottish special forces began infiltrating the communist lines, using their silenced AVIR carbines and ADEC light machine guns to clear away any would-be opposition relatively quietly as they tried to break through to the liberal positions so they could co-ordinate the capture of Vilnius.

OOC: Sorry for taking some time to reply, some RL stuff popped up

IC: The high command could see no possible victory on the Afgan/Pakistan boarder, somthing new was to be tryed. The answer was simple, Para's. The plan was for a large number of men to be flown behind enemy boarders from the east so not to fly over the battlefeild, the plane was to be painted in facist colours so not to be shot at. The troops would then be dropped 2-3 kilometeres away from the facists front line and the plan was to isolate the fasicts, this had to be done quickly as if the para's took more than 24 then the sheer force of the facists would overwhelm. The idea of this plan was to supprise and shock. Also every flight over over communist ground was to be regisared with the Bushdome ATC (air traffic control) so that the facists could not try somthing like this themselfs.

The planes were carring 5,000 troops, more could be sent if needed. The take off was smooth and everything was going to plan..........

Afghan-Pakistani Border

The GWO forces were expecting a Communist artillery attack. They heard the loud roars of the artillery cannons before running for cover. None of the soldiers tried to test their GIPUs against the acid; while they were certified as pieces of HAZMAT protection (As well as ballistic protection), nobody in the lines knew whether the acid would eat through.

Returning fire were hundreds of howitzers, mobile cannons, MLRS trucks, and mortars firing the proven Flechette shells and chemical shells filled with an engineered substance that caused violent cerebral hemorrhaging. It would be terrifying if it worked precisely as planned, possibly more so than the Flechettes. Metal Storm mortars also would be used; a single one could flatten a tank platoon in less than five seconds...

The MTHELs worked on taking out as many incoming artillery shells as they could.

((OOC: The chemical is a GWO-invented chemical that, as said, causes cerebral hemorrhaging. Violent episodes of this can cause blood to gush out of the eyes, nose, ears, and mouth while causing extreme pain. Chances of surviving such a violent episode are less than 5%.))

The Bushdome aircraft were detected on GWO-Fascist RADAR, and a message quickly was sent out requesting identification. The Communists weren't the only ones with ATC.

The GWO snipers and machine gunners sent out began "hunting" the Communist crews. Their masks made the heat coming off of the enemy visible, heavily contrasting the frozen lands.

Southern Iran

GWO Skyshield Systems began spewing AHEAD munitions up into the sky. The 35mm shells would split into explosive balls, being able to score multiple hits against a single target with one shell. Metal Storm systems also contributed, firing stacked ammunition anywhere ranging from 600,000 RPM to 1,000,000 RPM. M.A.M.P.s began spitting missiles into the air, looking like those little firework boxes that shoot out shitloads of sparks and "purty colors", only with missiles giving off the "purtyness". The Divine Tiger Infantry Killer would show its ability as an anti-aircraft weapon; like the Tunguska-M, it could shoot down planes with an enormous amount of bullets.

When the Imperialists came, GWO forces prepared to protect the Fascist city being contested. Troops stationed themselves in small bunkers made of sandbags, planting their weapons on them. "Meatgrinders" were set up on almost every street. Urban warfare was the specialty of the GWO, since most of the nation was either radioactive or urban. Artillery, MLRS, et cetera were set up to open fire on the incoming forces. The Fascist city wouldn't go down without Communist and Imperialist heads rolling.

Over Southern Iran

It seemed that the first flight had stumbled into a small mess. Both the communists and now the fascists had begun engaging the forward force. Strangely enough, most of the anti-aircraft fire seemed to be well below the height of the fighters, bullets simply could not reach 60,000 feet. Of course the fighters would still need to take down these weapons to allow for the transport aircraft to successfully insert the airborne forces.

The F-50 Liberty Fighters were there mostly for air superiority, thus the task of eliminating the missile sites and guns fell to the six hundred B-40 Warhawk tactical bombers. They quickly identified the enemy radar that had spotted them and responded quickly with long-range anti-radiation missiles that would destroy the radars. These missiles were accompanied by the excellent 'Hellion' cruise missiles which were WAGV equipped. Each Hellion dropped thirty HEAT warheads which locked on to infrared signatures and easily destroyed their targets. These would ensure that the launchers as well as the radars of the patriot batteries would be decimated by the missiles. Meanwhile the B-40's still had to worry about the missiles already launched. They activated all their countermeasures and began evasive maneuvers, but despite these action more than fifty bombers were downed or destroyed.

The next task of the Warhawks was to eliminate the metal storm and bofors ammunition that was blanketing the lower airspace. Using radar and other detection methods, the positions of the guns were quickly triangulated by risking a few Liberty fighters against the guns. None were downed in these short excursions, but one was damaged enough to return home. Once the guns were detected, the Warhawks would use either their Hellion missiles equipped with cluster munitions or would go supersonic and drop accurate 200kg bombs on the gun positions. Several more Warhawks were downed from the walls of flying lead. It seemed that the Warhawks had successfully cleared a path through the air defenses and into the Imperialist held territory, but they had to make sure before calling ahead the transports and their escorts.

~Bunker in Sergllingrad~

Commander Melendez looked at the order of his troops. Eight hundred thousand infantry accounting for the fifty thousand survivors and two hundred thousand Fascist that are continueing their training. There were pits everywhere around the city, and trench lines dug all around, machine guns posts were set up in high rises, as were snipers. On the ground level mines had been set up except for a few key choke points, anti-tank pits were set up with armor piercing rounded machine guns, and JDAMs and other suck devices, tanks where rolled on the first level of buildings, providing some amount of cover and would be quickly pulled out if the threat became too much, tank pits had also been set up, some used so the Merkevas could safely be positioned, and other to force up the softer under belly of the enemy tanks.

A special column of BMP-3s had been attached to a medical unit, and with this they would ride along the battle field to pick up the wounded troops, and also another column had been set up just for use to transport troops to positions that need them the most, giving the city a quick-response system. Anti-ballistic system had been set up, along with anti-aircraft systems, and more were being rushed in, there was talk of sending as much as an addition of two million men to help support the Fascists, but this may lead to a different commander, something Melendez didn't want.

The incoming munitions were quickly targeted by the numerous other CIWS systems in place. MTHELs, Skyshields, and several other types of CIWS were to be used.

The missiles weren't speedy; the main problem was that they flew low. Early detection would prepare the waiting CIWS systems for the incoming horde of munitions.

Then it came, like a swarm of bees. The barrels vomited out walls of lead, and many of the shells were AHEAD munitions. 79% of them were shot down; this was still unsatisfactory for the GWO.

Meanwhile, GWO troops began heading for TPF crash sites. HUMVEEs, Strykers, and Wisents were seen throughout the city en route to such sites.

~Sending off to Karachi~

It was ordered to send two hundred fifty Arleigh Burke Class Destroyers, completed equipped with highly advanced CIWS, added to this would be three hundred ten Missile Frigates, equipped with vertical launchers, attached to this would be three Nimitz class carriers with additional CIWS, along with the necessary transports for the five hundred thousand Cnian Marines that would be landing to attack Karachi.

Attached to this unit was 2,000 Amphibious Merkava VIa, along with an amphibious variation to the Puma and the BMP-3s. The 22nd, 34th, and 77th Marine Divisions were lightly equipped because they would be making the initial landing and wouldn't have the ability to roll tanks onto the ground. They would have to do with their G-36 guns and other small arms to push against the city, luckily however air cover was something that may be given to them, but none of them know for sure.

As of now two thousand C-130s, equipped with an attachment of three thousand Su-47s and four hundred other aircraft units are heading towards Islamabad. The objectives of the Su-47s would be to protect the C-130s, the other aircraft are to launch jamming signals and conduct electrical warfare along with the C-130s. The C-130s, once reaching the city, would drop their payload of firebombs all over the city, decimating the civilian populace, it was hoped that military assets would also be damaged, however this was not the major goal of this campaign. The aircraft won't stop until they've made their mark and returned home.

Official Message from the Aissurian Foreign Affairs Department.

With former King Jeoff being impeaced and imprisoned, we must recall the majority of troops that were deployed. We are recalling all but 500,000 ground troops to Aissur to help with homeland security. We will also leave a single Task Force. The 500,00 troops will be pulled back from the boder and moved closer to the Capital and entrenched if the Civil War progresses that badly. Our Bombers will continue to run sorties. We may redeploy the troops depending on who is elected.

In the Air over Southern Iran

The attacks had done well against the fascist forces in the way of the drop into Yellow Zone, an estimated forty percent of the enemy air defenses had been defeated but a significant amount still remained on the field. But time was crucial, the loitering transport aircraft were running out of fuel. The pathway needed to be cleared and the troops deposited. The logistics train with the refueling tankers was enormously complex, there were dozens of refueling jets from Iran back home to Greater Dienstad. Now the Warhawks switched their focus to clear a narrow pathway to the landing zones. Several squadrons of Warhawks and Liberty fighters then departed from the main group and began to clear the path to the LZ's. There were eight landing zones, all of them fields of local farmers or open property and they were at least two kilometers by two kilometers, but some were larger.

When the squadrons moved ahead of the main force they began heavy electronic jamming off all enemy electronics and made attack runs on all nearby radar stations. If the enemy could not get a fix on the general locations of the incoming air force, then all the bullets in the world would not hit one single jet.

As this was happening they set a request to the nearby Imperialist forces to launch an attack into the communist and fascist held areas- it was hoped at the very least these attacks would create a large diversion but it was yet to be seen how competent the Imperialist forces in the area were. It could only be hoped that the area could be cleared of air defenses so no precious transports could be lost.

Liberal Byelorussia

The liberals, with their near indestructible morale, fought until the very last man. They charged, running with the snow flying everywhere, and even piled themselves at the machine guns until the bodies were stacked to the point that they formed heavy cover. They tore off their bright red uniforms to reveal, or not reveal, white and brown fur coats and ripped away their crimson army hats to reveal small, white ushankas that blended into the landscape. It was as if the entire liberal army just cloaked. At Minsk, the situation was bad for the liberals. The ancient city was being bombarded relentlessly, and slowly morale drained as it was too far from the Cottish reinforcement to be saved. The Greali troops, still, met heavy resistance.

In southern Byelorussia and eastern Lithuania, the detonation of the bomb in the tunnel network set off a chain reaction that started collapsing the entire system. Huge enclosures, which previously contained precious munitions and vehicles, imploded on themselves, and soon even the tunnel network under the liberal capital in Minsk collapsed, destroying numerous city blocks. Luckily, however, the fragile supports to the network stopped under the command HQ, where the tunnel was being built out of concrete. Essentially, long, winding, snake-like depressions cut through the land, and some of the depressions caught Cottish tanks in their wake, dropping them several metres into the pits below. Over two hundred tonnes of munitions, five hundred vehicles, and ten aircraft were lost, and fifteen thousand men were killed by a small accident. Still, not the entire network collapsed, though the network was useless by the end of the chain reaction.

At Vilnius, the communist traps and inexplicably numerous explosive barrels started detonating at random as Cottish troops started occupying the city, blowing out entire city blocks and even the lone skyscraper in the city. The skyscraper landed in the river, blocking off a considerable portion of the water flow until the sheer pressure of the water burst through the skyscraper, which sent glass and metal flying everywhere. At any rate, the extremely expensive explosives that were detonated would in the long run cost more for the communists than for the Cottish men.

By the time the Cottish started to advance, the communists were already far away from Vilnius and started entrenching themselves in the snow. The light snowfall still continued, and slowly started growing heavier. There was no wind, but visibility was very low as fog settled in. Cottish artillery bombarded the communists relentlessly, inflicting some ten thousand casualties on the fortified men, but there was no response. The communist artillery merely waited.

Afghan-Pakistani Border

The GWO and fascist men just pounded the communists, and soon twenty Tupolev Tu-160s were drawn from the bulk of the air force in the region. They zoomed in, dropping their heavy payloads of FOABs onto the battle below. The explosions sent shockwaves tearing through the region, pulling fascist infantry into pieces and sending tonnes of snow into the trenches. The entire front communist trench line was gone, and the fascist trenches were damaged further. Nearly five thousand communists were killed by the allied bombs, while seventy two thousand fascist infantry were ripped to shreds.

The GWO artillery fire affected a very small portion of the Stoklomolvi line, which was focused on the tank doctrine. The NBC protected tanks just ignored the chemical shells, shrugged off the flechettes, and ploughed through the explosives. The fluoroantimonic acid from the Stoklomolvi artillery, however, covered the landscape, some sitting in the snow, and slowly dissipating. The Stoklomolvi Type 5 tanks, however, rolled over and around the communist trenches, crushing the acid and snow together, dissolving the acids. While the tank divisions did suffer light casualties, losing several dozen tanks, they continued. They fired in volleys, sending 120mm shells flying at high speeds at the Divine Tigers and infantry in the distance.

Various cities in Iran

Communist Tupolev Tu-95 bombers dropped tactical nuclear payloads everywhere, littering the landscape with huge nuclear mushroom clouds and radiation that would last for a very long time. The fascist infantry in these cities, in total numbering several hundred thousand, were vaporised, costing the fascist faction some three hundred thousand men.

Imperialist farmers, seeing TPFian aircraft, pulled out their Rugers and Karabiners and fired at the TPFian landing infantry, fearing that they were fascists as well. When they realised that the TPF they heard on the radio was the same TPF they saw now, they stopped and barricaded their windows and doors.

Stoklo-Cnian Front

The Stoklomolvi, noticing that the Cnians were entrenching themselves in Sergllingrad, moved to sit in Russograd. The three cities of Sergllingrad, Russograd, and Kekekegrad were hit hard by the war, and nearly all of the buildings in all three cities were flattened. At Sergllingrad, a single Tupolev Tu-160 flew at high speeds and dropped a parachuted FOAB, which slowly floated down to its target and exploded.

Карачи, Пакистан ОбластЬ | Стокломолви
Karachi, Pakistani Oblast | Stoklomolvi

The huge Cnian fleet moved in slowly, nearing the coast of Stoklomolvi. The great invasion, which would be the first of its kind, was met with massive barrages of nearly forty shells each from the nuclear coastal artillery when the assault was in range. In total, nearly eight barrages were fired before the artillery sank back into the ground for protection. The bunkers at the shore were quickly manned, and the small Kashtan CIWS set up along the sides. The only accessible beach, which was quite a tourist attraction during peacetime, was littered with hedgehogs, wooden ramps, land mines, and barbed wire. There was no cover, other than the hedgehogs. S-400 Triumf launchers were primed, and missiles were launched at the Cnian aircraft that flew over the city. When the aircraft was in the centre of the city, chaff launchers fired magnetic scraps at high velocities to reach the general altitude of the Cnian aircraft, with the goal of destroying the aircraft through letting the scraps destroy the electronics and engines on board.

Several kilometres from Islamabad, the city air defence unit, consisting of nearly a hundred thousand S1A1 and nearly twenty thousand S1A2 flak tanks, opened fire on the Cnian aircraft. A humongous wall of flak materialised in the sky, blackening the bright blue sky and making the ground seem as if it was shrouded by night. Missiles flew, flak exploded, and civilians watched in terror as the Cnians edged closer and closer to the city.

Liberal Belarus

Greal troops had now reached Minsk, despite taking heavy losses in some places. The cruise missiles continued their attack, this time, they were supported by artillery surrounding the city. Bombers fired their own cruise missiles and a few conventional ballistic missiles to destroy the defenses. 155mm guns were now firing at the city, nine rounds a minute. Greal troops poured into the outskirts and the other Greal forces in the east had completed the surrounding of the city. More and more guns unleashed hell unto the city. But the Liberals were stubborn and seemed willing to fight a urban war. Captain Share lead one of the five hundred companies assaulting the city from several directions. The defenders and the attackers would both have advantages in this rubble. Tanks and IFVs were now going into outskirts and advancing into the city. They were ready for a bloody urban battle. Meanwhile, another division was sent to Minsk. There they would guard the "siege" of the city.

Akimonadi Expeditionary Force, Coast of Target Objective 'Narva'

"Full stop."

"Aye aye, Grand Admiral."

The order for full stop was relayed to the several hundred ships now amassing just out of range of the nuclear artillery stationed near the objective area codenamed "Narva".

Nuclear artillery was pretty simple to deal with, though. It was a huge, stationary gun, or, in other words, a freakin' huge target. A few bunker busters would put it out of commission long enough for it to be captured and destroyed, or possibly restored and turned towards the frontline.

In a few moments some 16 Supermarine FGR.1 Storkes, known more commonly to the carrier crews as "Shukas", were up in the air with their deadly payloads of laser-guided penetrating bombs and cluster bombs.

Within minutes they were over their targets, keeping a close eye out for any SAMs, as no aircraft had been indicated by the AWACS.

Two of the Storkes lined up with the cannons, switching on laser designators for the rest of the Stores. The other 14 Storkes divided in half and lined up for a bombing run. Each one flew low towards the gun, strafing it with a 25mm cannon before dropping its two bunker busters and four cluster bombs. The sheer volume of munitions dropped on each gun would hopefully ensure that they were out of service for some time.

"Squad leader reports successful mission, Grand Admiral."

"Good, that should hopefully be good enough for now. Order the marines to proceed to their transports and prepare for immediate disembarkation. I want M59s on LCACs ready to go in five minutes if necessary."

Southern Iran

" Sierra, this is Charlie Two-Four, be advised be have a Flaming Arrow. I repeat, we have multiple confirmed Flaming Arrows. Be advised. Over."

Flaming Arrow was the code named in Prussian military nomenclature for a nuclear attack. As the planes had passed the major cities and fascist positions, the TU-96 bombers had been spotted on radar. However none of the Liberty fighters had been diverted to engage the craft, thinking that the bombers were simply carrying out a standard bombing run against the fascists, and not a nuclear assault. As the men jumped out of the back of the transport aircraft and into the landing zones, they now had the additional concern that nuclear fallout may spread into their landing zones. Each paratrooper had of course brought his NBC suit, but it did not guarantee complete protection and to make matters worse it hurt the troops ability to fight. The commander of the two airborne corps on the ground, Colonel General Dave Marcus, quickly announced a new primary objective- the capture of nearby airports. With the airports secured, the first equipment to arrive would be radiation isolation chambers and all the equipment, such as iodine pills to survive nuclear fallout.

The military itself had been unprepared for nuclear weapons to be deployed so soon and in such close proximity to the forces, and the tension was now higher than ever before. In response, STOKCOM, immediately set up a constant patrol of F-50 fighters around the clock- any violation of Imperialist air space by anything that could reasonably hold a nuke would be met and destroyed. In was unfortunate, but STOKCOM also ordered that a full group of twenty four B-22 bombers fully equipped with strategic nuclear cruise missiles be on standby for any response to any nukes launched against their forces. The focus now, then was to consolidate their positions in both Yellow and Blue Zones, deal with any fallout, and wait for the invasion of Soviet positions.

Afghan-Pakistani Border

The Divine Tigers shrugged off the first couple of volleys like the snow falling upon them. Quickly, Divine Tigers began responding with either 120 or 125mm shells; M models began emptying rocket pods and unleashing missiles upon the incoming tanks. Since most of the Divine Tigers were still entrenched, they would be much harder to hit than the incoming Type 5s. MAMPs further back began launching laser-guided missiles, and a few of them came just within range to let their IR-guided missiles fly skywards to hit their targets from above. Infantrymen were hidden behind "scrapes", spread out so that the main cannons of the Stoklomolvi tanks would be essentially useless, and dug in so that they would be incredibly hard to hit with the tank machine guns. Since the acid was dissipating, it wouldn't be as much as a threat. SMAWs, AT-4s, and an occasional Javelin were launched by the infantry, and some artillery guns that survived were dedicated now to taking out the incoming tanks. Specialized anti-tank shells were to be used in this task. The Stoklomolvi tanks would have Hell trying to get over the tank-trap ridden ditches, as tanks are often designed with essentially no armor on the bottom of them. Plus, the tank traps would keep them stuck with their "stomachs" showing long enough for a Divine Tiger or AT infantryman to send a rocket or shell into them. Snipers were on the lookout for any commanders with their hatch open; even if the tank commanders weren't exposed, an open hatch meant they could send a Raufoss into the tank's interior, maiming and killing the crew. Some snipers attempted to attack the viewports on the hatch; of course, only the luckiest and best snipers would be able to land a shot like that. Snipers who had been passed by the tanks would take aim for their exhausts with their explosive bullets. The "snowmobile BMWs" also came back out, this time fitted with TOW missiles. They were nimble enough to be almost impossible to hit with the tanks. If the enemy targeted them, they'd be giving themselves up to the GWO and Fascists, and if they didn't, they'd be hit with missiles.

((OOC: Expect a response for Southern Iran later.))

Meanwhile, GWO forces moved to attack the Communist "sliver" in Iran form both the North and South. The forces being sent were primarily mechanized infantry and armored units. Heavy artillery raids would begin on the sliver, followed by tank/motorcycle charges.

To: All Imperialist Supporters and Resistance
From: President Isham Mendoza; Vietnam Empire

To all Imperialist Supporters,

I am President Isham Mendoza of the Vietnam Empire, I am aware of the huge civil war at Stoklomolvi, and the brinks of the Imperialist faction collapsing. It hits me hard that this civil war has more than 2 faction sides in Stoklomolvi, the greatest I ever seen. It will be hard for the people of Stoklomolvi seeing that one day Stoklomolvi will be split into many nations.

The reason I send you this message is that, I will come and aid the Imperialist faction, I believe that Stoklomolvi should restore its Imperialism, and to reunify the whole Stoklomolvi nation as it was before the civil war.

I ask any other Imperialist supporters to respond this message so that my dear Army highest commanders know where your troops are and to not bombard you by artillery fire. My army will come in aid to the Imperialist at the West of Ukraine. I hope you well my future allies.

Sincerely,

President Isham Mendoza

Afghan-Pakistani Border

Little did the GWO know that the Type 5 MBTs had explosive reactive armour even on the underside of the tank, just to prevent trench warfare from destroying too many of them. The armour skirts would protect the tracks. When the Divine Tigers launched salvoes of missiles, the passive Shtora-1 and the active Arena defensive systems were able to avert the majority of the missiles, which were either destroyed by the Arena or were redirected to another location. Any missiles that actually did hit were usually stopped by the explosive reactive armour, though still a few tanks were lost. When the tank reached the trenches most of them stopped, armour facing the GWO men, while some activated their shovel like devices and started spinning them like mad to kill anything within the ditches. The sharpened shovels, which were digging through the sides of the trenches to reveal the tank traps, would sever the heads or slice through the bodies of any men in their way.

Only one tank had its hatch open, and the only reason for this was because it was disabled; the men inside were already dead from the spall released by a Divine Tiger fired missile, though to an outsider it appeared completely functional, as it was still moving forward, cannon still firing, though this was purely because by chance the driver was killed with his foot on the pedal, and the gunner his hand on the fire button on the joystick. When the GWO snipers tried to shoot at the very, very thin viewports, the bullets merely ricocheted or exploded into pieces. The exhaust, which was located underneath the tank near the rear, was targeted by some snipers, all to no avail; most of the exhaust poured out the sides of the tanks through small vents behind the wheels, which were in turn behind the armour skirts. When the snowmobiles appeared, however, the commanders and gunners in each tank started using their coaxial and heavy machine guns, which could be accessed from within the tank for protection. The tanks, being at least somewhat automated, still fired, though required input from the gunners. Still, the tanks essentially waited at the anti-tank trenches, shovels spinning and slicing.

At the rear of the communist lines, some of the heaviest artillery was rolled in. Huge 290mm towed mortars, which were formidable but very cheap to manufacture, were rolled onto the field, and soon the entire ground shook as the mortars opened fire on the positions of the Divine Tigers as relayed by the Type 5 tanks in the field.

Elsewhere on the front, the fascists were still fighting the communists, both of which were evenly matched by the other. Not much progress was made. In the GWO front, however, several green, conscripted fascist infantry divisions just charged onto the field, guns blazing, and their dark grey uniforms starkly contrasting the white snow. Apparently, they had forgotten to switch into camouflage, and the conscripts did nothing but get mowed down by the communist machine guns and get in the way of the GWO men, who were far more experienced but gravely outnumbered.

Irani Pocket

The Imperial Guardsmen in the pocket, who were already entrenching met the GWO with LVHMG-2 and general infantry fire. The GWO, who were appearing to run low on men, were fighting bravely, with the fascist infantrymen soaking up most of the damage. However, the more men lost on the pocket, the faster morale tanked, and this high morale damage would eventually cost the fascists the pocket as fascist manpower slowly dwindled to nothing as they went to fight elsewhere, leaving the few remaining GWO men to fight the communist horde. Still, the communists suffered heavy casualties, taking a few million men down.

Message from the Imperialists
To President Isham Mendoza

More rations were supplied to the trenches, music was to be played and magazines from back home were given away for free. If the troops were to make any ground they would not only need to be in a good mood but they would need to cooperate with the Stoklomolvi communists.

The snowmobiles nimbly swerved left and right, avoiding the machine guns. The snipers picked new targets when they realized the bulletproof glass lived up to its name. Now, they were targeting the guns on top of the tanks with standard .50 BMG rounds.

The white little vehicles were launching TOW missiles like anchor babies, some of them running out of missiles and having to return to the Fascist lines. They could literally go in circles around the tank turrets, which was a major advantage over them. The ones that still had missiles went between the tank traps and essentially flew onto the other side of the ditch. There, they would be able to target the rears.

As the mortars began their first barrage, the Divine Tigers began moving around to eliminate most of the effectiveness of the heavy shells. An HPACV further behind the lines began lobbing its own 225mm shells. The HPACV was a formidable vehicle; they were, by all means, modern Superheavy Mobile Fortresses. Of course, this made them vulnerable to tank charges, and they had to have Divine Tigers escorting their slow asses.

When the green Fascists got mowed down, the GWO officers observing simply stared as they got mowed down, muttering "Oh, dear."

Iranian Pocket

The Communist sliver was a major objective; reinforcements had to be called, and not just from the Army and Marine Corps. The 15th "Blutbrief" Special Tactics Force Battalion (500) had been called upon. The Communists were about to see why most people go extra miles to avoid conflict with the GWO...

Before the charge, though, the GWO forces made a retreat. Artillery howitzers were brought up, loaded with almost every type of shell, ranging from "Brain Buster" gas to Flechettes, high-explosives and thermobaric shells. As soon as the barrage came, a charge was ordered. The artillery simply targeted areas further behind the enemy line as the GWO approached. The tanks would also act like artillery until they found a target to hit. IFVs, APCs, infantry, DT-IKs, and motorcycles would take care of the enemy infantry with their autocannons and machine guns. A couple of F-35s were to show up flying NOE, as to easily avoid radar, along with 50 Apaches flying low. They would target the enemy artillery and armor primarily, easing the path for the mechanized force.

Cotland

04-10-2008, 21:31

Outside Vilnius
"What the fuck?" 94. Army commander, Colonel General Hallgrim Majn said when he heard of the unorthodox yet effective tactics the commies were using against his troops. So far, his intelligence officer said, the 941. Corps had suffered close to a thousand casualties, of which over five hundred were fatalities, and that more casualties were expected if they continued to push inwards into the city. Angered, the Colonel General ordered the forces to pull back to the outskirts of the city in order to regroup and rethink the approach.

Two hours later, the withdraw was complete. The Cottish 94. Army had established a perimeter some 10 kilometers outside the city, and were waiting for the next move when the order came to go to full radiological alert. This involved suiting up in the MOPP-4 suits that protected the troops from chemical, biological and nuclear weaponry and radiation, replenishing one's stock of iodine tablets if necessary, and getting into their armored vehicles which were NBC-protected.

At the 94105. Heavy Artillery Battalion, the battalion command post had just finished re-establishing itself from the pull-out when the commanding officer was summoned to the phone. Taking the phone, he listened intently for a few seconds before hanging up the phone. Turning to the battlestaff, he said coldly, "Prepare to execute nuclear fire mission. Release of nuclear weapons has been authorized."

Twenty minutes later, six of the battalion's 18 SDAT-4F1 heavy self-propelled howitzers commenced fire, sending off a single piece of ordinance each. The six pieces of ordinance were Cottish KSA-36 nuclear artillery shells, measuring 203 millimeters in diameters and with a nuclear yield of 20 kilotons, the equivalent of 20 tons of TNT. These six shells were being fired at communist positions no less than 11 kilometers and no more than 25 kilometers away from the Cottish perimeter, with the ground zeros being no more than 6 kilometers away from the liberal lines. The Cottish SOFs that had managed to pierce through the communist lines and reach the liberals had urged the liberals to flee the city, or at least seek refuge inside the basements and buildings, as they tried to prevent as many friendly casualties if possible.

Almost simultaneously, the six nuclear artillery shells reached their targets and detonated in a bright white flash some 540 meters above the ground, incendirating everything within 600 meters of ground zero, and causing conflagration within two kilometers of the ground zeros. Everyone within 1.4 kilometers of the explosions instantly received lethal doses of radiation, something which they probably wouldn't feel since they were already dead from the blast and overpressure. Within 600 meters of ground zero, everything was completely destroyed, and all buildings within 1.7 kilometers of the blasts were destroyed, with everything within 4.7 kilometers receiving moderate damages. Anyone caught out in the open would receive severe burns from teh thermal radiation. Everyone within 2.5 kilometers that survived the initial blast received third degree radiation burns, everyone within 3.2 kilometers received second degree burns, and everyone within 4.2 kilometers received first degree burns instantly. Everyone within 5 kilometers were also exposed to severe doses of radiation, and out to 8 kilometers, radiation sickness would probably make itself known.

The Cottish nuclear attacks had been concentrated on the communist positions, detonating in a semi-circle pattern which covered the communist-held parts of the city. The initial blasts would have caused overpressure in the immediate area near the blasts, and would set off firestorms that would consume what wasn't destroyed in the six simultaneous nuclear explosions. Due to it being simultaneous explosions within a relatively small area, the casualty count would be exponentially higher than if it had been only a single nuclear weapon that was detonated. Regardless of how high the casualty count would be, the Cots wouldn't really case. After all, the dead were communists and thus not worthy of breathing the air they breathed. In the Cottish psyche, the Cots believed they were doing the commies a favor.

With the first nuclear exchange complete, the Cots hunkered down to assess the damages and stood ready to prepare a second volley against whoever would have survived, using UAVs to do the assessing. Even though the Cottish nukes were of the "clean" type, meaning that the radiation didn't persist for too long, they still emitted radiation that was quite lethal, and the electromagnetic pulse they would have created inside the city were sure to have taken out the communist (and everyone else's) communications and indeed anything electrical.

"Coastal" Objective Narva, Estonia

Before the Akimonadi Supermarines flew down and launched their salvoes of missiles at the two nuclear artillery cannons, several S-400 Triumf missiles were launched at the aircraft, and a few Kashtan CIWS popped out of the ground to fire futilely at the swooping Supermarines. However, once the aircraft launched their missiles, the Kashtans descended back into the ground and one of the cannons fired its gun while underneath the great steel gate. The nuclear explosion vaporised everything around it, including the Kashtans, the soldiers manning said Kashtans, and everything above the cannon. The other cannon, which was further away, was disabled right after it too fired its main cannon, detonating everything. The munition caches, which were behind the cannons, also detonated, setting off a gigantic explosion that would irradiate the entire beach and also destroy the aircraft. A few kilometres away from the site, a few more cannons arose, and fired nuclear shells to the edge of their range to make certain locations irradiated and dangerous to any ships before sinking back into the ground.

Afghan-Pakistani Border

The GWO continually swarmed the tank line, destroying a number of tanks and mobility-killing several others. When the snowmobiles attempted to cross the ditches, however, the tanks opened up a wave of fire, sending 120mm shells flying across the ditches towards the Divine Tigers and snowmobiles in the distance. The snowmobiles that did cross were pelted with 12.7mm rounds, and the S1A1 flak tanks that started arriving soon opened up fire with 38mm flak rounds. Imperial Guardsmen from the rear also started marching forward, every soldier armed with a spade and his or her normal gear. They marched up to the anti-tank trench, entered the trench, and started to fill in the trench to allow for the tanks to cross.

At the other side, in the fascist camp, green infantry continued to pour out of seemingly nowhere, inhibiting attempts by GWO to move forward and constantly getting in the way of everything. The some wise greens hid in the trenches to fire with their rifles, stupidly at the frontal armour of the Stoklomolvi tanks. The remainder just charged, rifles cracking and bodies flying as the tanks mowed down the infantry.

Iranian Pocket

When the communists noticed that the fascists were retreating, they pushed and shoved into imperialist territory, fanning out to occupy as much territory as possible while backtracking to hinder the flanks of the fascists. S1A1 and S1A2 flak tanks, with radar support, were kept in the pocket, shooting at and shooting down any GWO or fascist aircraft that appeared. The artillery bombardments did little to the now nearly empty pocket, until the manpower started flowing like a river. Imperial Guardsmen continually streamed across the vital land bridge, and tried to seize whatever strongpoints there were. The fascists were forced to fall back, and they, being the brunt of the force, started losing ground as they started getting pounded by patriotic imperialists and advancing communists.

It started to snow. Snow started falling in droves, piling up and soon the wind acted up, until the light snowfall started turning into a blizzard.

Вильнюс, Литва | Стокломолви
Vilnius, Lithuanian Oblast | Stoklomolvi

The communists, most of them having evacuated Vilnius, watched as the city was vaporised in the distance. The nearly three million liberal soldiers and civilians in the city were killed instantly, with the few stragglers dying on their ways out of the city. Still, a few thousand overly patriotic communists were killed as they tried to retake the city, with essentially a stalemate ending between the liberals and communists over Vilnius. The Stoklomolvi command in Vladistov, noticing that the Cottish had fired nuclear shells, ordered for several Topol M nuclear missiles to be launched with tactical nuclear warheads and range. From a silo in northern Lithuania, two Topol M missiles, both armed with ten warheads each yield 400 kT, flew over the terrain. When the missiles neared Vilnius, the warheads were released, each being sent at parabolic arcs over Vilnius into the suspected Cottish and liberal strongpoints. Two warheads were intercepted by S-300 missiles while the S-400 Triumf launchers were being readied. However, it was too late, and the warheads detonated over the liberals, killing a few million on impact and a million more due to radiation. For the liberals, it was hell.

At the strategic command in Novosibirsk, Vladimir Putin authorised the launch of every strategic missile in the liberal arsenal at various points in China with one Topol M aimed at Vladistov. Unfortunately for him, he only had two missiles remaining, and one was fired at Beijing while the other was fired at Vladistov. The one aimed at Beijing was shot down pre-emptively by S-400 Triumf launchers outside of Novosibirsk, and the other was shot down over Mongolia. The communists did nothing.

Western Ukraine

The Vietnam Royal Army; 105th and 101st Division; under the Commander Tran are approaching the boarder of Western Ukraine. Up above them are 5 passing C-130 Hercules planes, carrying ~500 Troops of 104th Airborne; Regiments. However, the remaining 4500 are at home base, waiting for the pickup.

The Divisions are going towards the city of Lviv, Ukraine. Soldiers on board the trucks, 6 M1 Abrams, 10 Amphibious carriers (Stryker), and 5 AS-90 Howitzers/15 M109 Howitzers. Radio Communicators are making a FM broadcast to the city of Lviv and the locals about the Vietnam RA arrival and that they aren’t the enemies to the Imperialist

The 104th Airborne mission is to secure and establish a temporary base for the Divisions. However, finding the Imperialist Resistance and supporters are easy to do, but getting shot at by them are not very welcoming, especially flying over.

Captain Thien is the 104th airborne temporary commander.

“Hmmmm…..what’s our co-ordinates Pilot?” said Thien

“We’re at 10-402B, coming at towards the city of Lviv, Ukraine.” Said the pilot

“That’s our drop point, we need to drop down just 5 miles west of that city, we don’t want to drop over them and giving them an stupid opportunity to shoot at us, because they might assume we are Communist.” Said Commander Thien

“Alright Commander, Green Light 5 minutes” said the pilot

Thien opens the ramp at the back of the plane and told his troops to get ready.

“Hey ladies, wake up, make sure the person in front of you has secured his belongings and his chute. I don’t want to see a bloody ass body down there with his brains splatter. Got it? Said Thien

Minutes later, all 500 airborne troops jumps out of the plane and many of them seeing that they are going to parachute down to a forest. Commander Thien looked over the horizon and saw some large blot, assuming to be the Division or some angry people.

Outskirts of Tviv, Western Ukraine

The imperialist outpost, noticing an unknown aircraft, opened up small arms fire and MG fire from their position outside of the city. The flak 88 next to them boomed, sending flak shells at high speeds towards the descending parachutists. Should TPF not arrive soon, then the imperialist bastion in Ukraine would fall. In a twist of irony, however, the imperialists were shooting down their allies due to miscommunication.

[OOC: Fuck this post, lol, I've written this like four times and if it doesn't show up this time I fucking quit. Warning: Shit ass post ahead...]

~At Serglligrad~
The bomb destroys a few blocks, but the only military assets in that area were a squad of sixteen men, however two hundred eighteen civilians had been killed in the blast. More troops have been positioned on the outskirts of the city, and the tanks were set-up for a battle soon to be upon them.

~At Karachi~
The CIWS ships destroyed the majority of the missiles, however forty-six did break threw, twenty-one Arleigh Burke Destroyers and twenty-five Missile Frigates were sunk or damaged.

The returning Missile Frigates fired a devastating salvo, that would distract some of the missiles being launched at the aircraft up ahead. A hundred thirty-six Su-47s had been downed, plus two C-130s, and four dozen other jammer aircraft. As they entered the airspace over Islamabad the aircraft turned back as they saw the mass of flak, however sixty-one C-130, forty-six Su-47s and several over jammer aircraft had been lost before the flight turned out of range. It was ordered for the Su-47s to fly in low as they could and use their canons to open fire.

Meanwhile back at the beach the first Marine Divisions began to make land fall, and to support this advance twenty-four Super Cobras from all the three combined carriers, plus over two hundred Su-47s roamed the skies over Karachi. The missile frigates would engage any target that had been sighted by either the helicopters or the aircraft, and they also searched for the nuclear artillery.

~Beachhead Sector Red~
Lance Corporal Rack Denton tucked down behind a hedgehog, as did the men around him. The bullets ripped at his unit, but every time a bunker fired, an air strike was called in and it soon disappeared. Using these tactics L.Cpl. Denton and his fire squad slowly made their way up the beachhead, along with the rest of Denton's platoon.

Southern Iran

By now, the Prussian lines in both the Yellow and Blue Zones had been secured. There had been no major attack against them by either the communists or the fascist forces, and so the airborne troops had plenty of time to secure all the nearby airports, railways, and highways. This ensured that nothing got in or out in major force. Massive C-10 aircraft had been coming in every few minutes to the various airports, delivering more supplies, vehicles, and troops. The total number in each zone swelled to over 80,000 troops, all now reinforced by ample artillery and light vehicles. At the airports, numerous squadrons of Liberty fighters and Warhawk tactical bombers were now stationed there, further ensuring the Prussian's grasp over Iran. Now, word had come down that Lyran forces would be arriving in force. They had a clear airway to the airports, and once they arrived it was expected that both forces would go on the offense. The troops themselves were not only busy fortifying strategic points and building supply depots, but also were helping to equip and train the Imperialist soldiers to make them more effective in combat.

Off the Shore of Ukraine

The fleet had been delayed by a few days to allow for the Lyran fleet to arrive. They were still a day away, however. With news coming down that the Imperialist faction in Ukraine was in danger of collapsing the order had come down to move against the Soviet navy and begin the invasion even before the two fleets met. Lyran forces would be there soon, no doubt. Over five hundred ships would be engaged in the operation, at least thirty-five of them fully fledged carriers. At over three hundred kilometers away, the carriers launched waves of both F-32 Cossak naval strike bombers, as well as Fury naval strike bombers, carrying a range of naval strike missiles including the MLSS-21, the AS-58, and the AS-62 to strike against Soviet shipping. These planes were not along however- they were supported handily by NSF-22 Specters fighters and Dolphin electronic warfare birds. Two waves were launched, of three hundred planes each, with at least one hundred fifty of each wave being composed of naval strike bombers. The first wave of missiles would be launched from 300 kilometers away, and consist of the MLSS-21 400mm variant. The warhead was powerful enough to punch through most armors and devastate destroyers in a single hit. However, these missiles came in low and stealthy, further strengthen by countermeasures including radar jamming and chaff. They were also reistent to CIWS, even able to take a few hits from larger rounds. After these were launched, the rest of the missiles would be launched at one hundred fifty kilometers away. Primary targets were Soviet surface combatants such as carriers and cruisers. Auxiliary ships such as supply and transport ships came second. Once the enemy fleet was out of the way, the amphibious landings could commence.

The evening was, all things considered, remarkably quiet. In some parts of the world, the event would have been marked by cheering crowds, flag-waving, perhaps a fly-over by the aerospace forces. Here though, there was none of that.

There were no crowds. None at all. The near-night was almost deserted. The waters of Port Finch looked like molten glass under the setting sun, which cast its light over the bay from its collapsing perch over the mountains to the west. That way, almost due west, lay the city of Rampart, some 500km. Beyond that, on the other side of the straits, lay Yanitaria, Greal and The Peoples Freedom.

Order-Marshal Michael Lambert stood on the deck of the destroyer Alistair Stanley, as it slid away from the pier, out into the twilight, headed south, for its rendezvous with the Longsword-class Falchion, which would serve as his command ship for the first phase of this operation. The ride was smooth, almost surreal. The too-calm water meant that it was hard to tell if the ship was moving at all. He had to look rearward, to see the water slipping back into place behind the Alistair Stanley, to get an impression of motion. The fleet was out in front, as far as the eye could see, arrayed in multiple concentric circles around the octet of Longsword-class superheavies that formed the group's nucleus. The Alistair Stanley was the last ship to depart Port Finch, and was nearly two days behind the fleet's leading echelons. Over eight thousand warships were underway, and nearly double that again in LHDs, oilers, bulk-cargo-carriers, supply and replenishment ships, hospital ships, fire-fighting ships, and more. The most numerous were the troop ships, which, after all, had to transport the entirety of the 7th Order.

The scale of the operation still sometimes shook the Order-Marshal. 38.8 million personnel were deployed on this operation. Only the second time that a full-strength Order had been deployed overseas. The Peoples Freedom, embroiled as they were in the Stoklomolvian Civil War, had requested assistance. Executive Command were pretty certain that The Peoples Freedom were capable of destroying just about any opposition they would face, but acknowledged not only the request, but the common-sense that lay behind it. The more force that could be applied, the less casualties were likely.

TPF had requested 10 million men. The Protectorate had offered just shy of four times that.

The Order had sailed from Greater Dienstad, enroute for Stoklomolvi. Its presence would, it was certain, be felt.

Lambert thought back over the seemingly endless series of briefings, updates, sitreps, councils, hearings and reflected that, while certainly the most important work was still to come, he was more than grateful to get into the business that he had made his own.

High Marshal Cassandra Atherton, one of the three immediate subordinates to Warmarshal Krell, had given him the last, barely six hours ago. Lambert pushed his mind back, trying his utmost to recall every detail of that conversation.

Atheron returned Lambert's salute, and waved him to a chair.
“At ease, Order-Marshal. Take a seat. Hopefully this won't take too long.”
“Yes, ma'am.”
High Marshal Atherton winced, and then smirked.
“Michael, how long have we known each other?”

Lambert nodded at the yet-unspoken point.
“As long as I can remember.”

“Right. Since we were both in the same cohort-creche, that is about what you would expect, no? So here, behind closed doors, you can still call me Cass. Lighten up.”

A grin broke across his features, and he lightend up. They did go way back, didn't they?

“Yes, ma'am.”

Atherton smiled at the jibe. Michael Lambert had always had a humourous streak... which had sometimes rubbed Warmarshal Krell the wrong way, despite all the respect the Order-Marshal had for Krell.

“Michael, this is a big task we are laying at your feet. Is there anything else you feel you need?”

Lambert frowned. He could feel the weight behind the High Marshal's question. She was offering an awful lot of firepower... but then, he had a complete Order at his command.

“Nothing I could justify. The 7th Order is a big enough formation, I think. We could always, in theory, use more, but doing so could start to adversely affect the Protectorate's ability to respond elsewhere.”

Atheron nodded.

“Fair enough. You will let us know if that changes, right? We are not about to let you and your folks get in too deep to get out again.”

“Yes, of course. I am similarly not about to let the men and women I live and work with suffer for my pride. If things go south, I will let you know.”

“Glad to hear it, crechekin. Tell me, once more, what your intent is?”

“To establish an Imperialist Stoklomolvi state, secure and sovereign within its territories and firm on the international stage, in order to improve security for the Lyran Protectorate and its allied states.”

She nodded again. That was, essentially, what Executive Command had decided upon when last they met. Warmarshal Krell and High Marshal Gideonschild had, initially, wanted to send three full Orders, and flatten everything in opposition. Marshal von Helmgart (head of Lyran Intelligence), herself and High Marshal McConnaught (land commander) had managed to change the collective mindset, however, and only a single Order was to be sent.
The concession made in debate, however, was that it be the 7th.

“Well put, Michael. We are not going there as a new attempt at colonisation. We want Stoklomolvi sympathetic, strong, stable and above all, as you said, sovereign. Do what you must, within the constraints of honour, to achieve that. THAT is your objective.”

What could be said to that? Lambert said nothing, but nodded slowly. Atherton stood up, moved around the desk, and sat on it.

“Chin up, Mike. Remember what you said, back during our officer's training?”

Lambert looked up, grinning from ear to ear, but Atherton wasn't finished.

“You said; 'If you take more than your fair share of objectives, you will be given more than your fair share of objectives to take'... and you were right. You have... so here you are. Come on, brother, come give your crechekin a hug.”

She spread her arms, and the two old crechekin embraced, a comfortingly, chaste and supportive hug. Before she let go, she mentioned one more point.

“You watch yourself out there, you hear? THAT is an order.”

1 week later...

The fleet had covered most of the distance from Greater Dienstad to the Stoklomolvi theatre, and had split along the way. Lambert and 28.8 million of his troops were three days out from Hellion-firing range to targets in the middle east, and about a week and a half away from being able to land... an amphibious assault which would be aimed at giving the Imperial forces located within Iran access to the ocean, supply routes, and, most importantly, hope.
Marshal Godwin commanded the other forces, the 10 million strong, 2000 warship push on the Ukraine. Scant days away from linking up with the TPF fleet, the reports over the Cromwell were clear.

Due to increasing danger of outright Imperialist collapse, TPF forces had engaged naval elements of the World Soviet Party.

Godwin watched the displays show the countless missiles and aircraft travelling at high speed towards the communist forces. The success, at this stage, was hard to determine, but complete destruction of the opposition was unlikely. Fortunately for all concerned, at a little over 2050km away, the communist navies were well within range of the Lyran fleet's AShMs.

Across the fleet, sirens blared out calls to battlestations, and thousands of warships armed many hundreds of thousands of LY589s. Nothing was fired yet. Hellion strike upon hostile fleet elements would come upon examination of the degree of success enjoyed by the TPF strike.

Meanwhile, across both theatres, Lyran communications staff worked hard to establish comms links with Imperial forces within the Ukraine, Central Asian and Iranian pockets, to engender co-operation, and bolster flagging Imperialist morale. They were no longer on their own.

Their holding to honour, it was said, had brought Lyras, on their behalf.

"Sir, the Imperialists just gained about 40 million trained troops from Prussia and Lyras. Course of action?"

"Ooohoooo, bacon time for the little piggies. Get the Internal Control Department on the line, we're going to make radioactive shishkabobs ((OOC: wtf? Firefox says that's wrong and offers "abolish" as a replacement...)) out of them," replied Field Marshal Shan.

"Yessir."

GWO Missile Centers Across the Globe

The Field Marshal's request had been accepted. The GWO was trying to get rid of their tactical nukes anyways, favoring the vacuum bomb and fuel air bomb for their relative cheapness and "eco-friendly" operation. What better way to get rid of them other than by using them?

400 tactical nukes would be launched at random targets throughout Stoklomolvi. Areas where large amounts of Lyras-Prussian forces were would be targeted; Tehran, various Communist bases within operational range of Fascist Stoklomolvi (Obviously not counting ones too close to the Fascists), and vital areas to the Imperialists were targeted.

The missiles were coming in from almost every angle, as the GWO had missile sites all over the world (Many of them not even in GWO territory; they often take over small islands/islets and secretly build subterrainean silos).

When the missiles were estimated as close to their targets, Shan began singing a slightly modified "Beezleboss" to himself, starting with "Yes you are fucked, shit out of luck, now it's complete and my cock you will suck..."

Tactical Command Center

The airborne forces had been significantly reinforced over the two days they had been there. Massive C-10 transport aircraft had arrive every few minutes at the various airports, so an incredible amount of equipment had been deposited into the area. This included the Skyguard SAM systems created by TPF's strongest ally. A whole brigade had been airlifted in and established in various locations. These SAM's not only gave the Prussians very good anti-aircraft capability, but also an incredible anti-ballistic missile capability. It wasn't long before the tactical nukes were spotted arcing towards various targets via the Bastion radar. Once the all the targets had been located and were being tracked, the Prussian battlespace management system began issuing priority, secondary, and tertiary targets to the SAM's. The same system began talking to the Cromwell II systems of the nearby Lyrans, and the first Rampart and LY0431 missiles towards the missiles. In order to ensure maximum oods in the destruction of the nukes, two missiles were assigned to each target. Add in the Lyran missiles that would be joining them, and it was unlikely that even a single nuke would touch down and harm the Prussians or the citizens of Stoklomolvi.

Primary targets were Soviet surface combatants such as carriers and cruisers. Auxiliary ships such as supply and transport ships came second. Once the enemy fleet was out of the way, the amphibious landings could commence.

The massive TPF'ian deployment on the Stoklomolvi theater had not gone unnoticed. As a matter of fact, the soviets had started bringing in heavy equipment into the mainland, with the hope of stopping the invasion right on it's tracks where it was more vulnerable, the beaches.

Thus, when the enemy fleet finally reached it's position and started launching fighter-bombers, AShMs and all that jazz, the Soviets were able to count with a solid defense, based on it's fortified land positions, loaded with their own anti-shipping missiles and SAMs. However, this did not mean they would not take casualties or that the task at hand would be easy for them.

For starters, the defenders counted with an assortment of land and sea based missiles, such as the "Typhoon" (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=11128548&postcount=458), BGM-172 "Pike" (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10812302&postcount=258), "Rufous" (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=12777583&postcount=1), "Fenix" (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=12765386&postcount=612), "Sea Pike" (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13287235&postcount=215), "Mangler" (http://www.forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13633605&postcount=471) (so as to eliminate enemy air defenses) and "Redwing" (http://www.forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13619313&postcount=454), plus a number of heavy guns, which would be used against landing craft, should they get through the navy.

If the TPF'ians got through this fire curtain, then they would have to face the might of the Soviet Air and Naval Air Services, which operated well over two thousand aircraft in this area, including the famous F/A-77 Kovas (http://z4.invisionfree.com/NSDraftroom/index.php?showtopic=3682&st=0) (both the land and navalized versions), a couple of FA 15D Cardinals (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=12508735&postcount=1) from the Luftstreitkräfte, A-127A "Marauders" (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13462571&postcount=329) (which operated as CAS aircraft but could be modified for anti-ship operations) and some of the older, but still effective, F-28C Sea Eagles (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=12269628&postcount=784), A-4Ss and A-4SBs (the last two being used by the Liberation Armies).

And last but not least, if the TPF'ians managed to get past all this, then they would have to land on the heavily defended beaches, climb the neck-breaking cliffs and fight well over two million, well armed and with heroic morale (albeit most were irregulars from the Liberation Armies), chase them into the mainland and eliminate them all. And even then, they would also have to get rid of the Soviet embassy, which kept training and arming the rebels.

Sergllingrad, Fascist-occupied Ukraine

The charge was ready. Three thousand Type 5 main battle tanks rumbled across the cratered and scorched earth, sending a huge cloud of snow dust and smoke through the air. It started to snow. The Imperial Guardsmen, having pierced through the shield at the front, now started to pour in from all directions, nearly enveloping the city.

Islamabad, Pakistan Oblast | Stoklomolvi

The city defences, it seemed, had prevailed over the invading Cnian aircraft, as they retreated. They were still primed and ready for any more waves of Cnian air assaults.

Karachi, Pakistan Oblast | Stoklomolvi [OOC: What's this talk about missiles? I fired nuclear shells at you.]

The bunkers were exploding left and right as the Cnian aircraft constantly bombed them. In a bout of desperation, as most of the CIWS were destroyed or damage, a huge salvo of S-400 Triumfs were launched at all Cnian aircraft regardless of whether or not they were in the air. The nuclear cannons, which were near the city and not the beach, started lobbing nuclear shells calculated so that the edge of the thermal radiation would scorch whatever was actually on the beach itself. In addition, the cannons continually pumped out nuclear shells at the Cnian ships in the distance, with the hopes that the EMP would at least disable some aircraft.

In the remaining bunkers, which still would provide enfilade fire over the beach, the huge numbers of LVHMG-2s roared and ripped the air with their 15mm shells. Continuously, the stream of fire poked large holes in the sand, ripping apart some of the smaller hedgehogs.

Strategic Missile Shield Headquarters, Vladistov | Stoklomolvi

The tactical nukes whose trajectories were calculated to be heading to a communist location were targeted and fired at by S-400 Triumf missiles as they neared silos from the Strategic Missile Shield Project; the missiles would likely be unable to penetrate the shield effectively, if at all. Every nuke had four missiles flying towards it at high speeds.

2014h, October 6th
West of Stoklomolvi Ukraine

Aboard Marshal Godwin's Longsword (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13152733&postcount=474)-class flagship, things had been proceeding calmly. It was an estimated fifteen minutes before planned firing upon communist forces in-theatre. Targets had been assigned. The time frame was simply to maximise the effect of the missile wave, by resulting in a better arrival time. The LY589 Hellion (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=551772&highlight=LY589)advanced cruise missiles had actually been in range for nearly 1000kms already.
When the Lyran fleet closed to within 2000km of the target zone, the Hellions, it was anticipated, would fire.
At 2015h, however, all hell broke loose. All three air defence radars lit up with multiple inbounds, and Cromwel II's crosslink showed still more targetted at other Lyro-Prussian and Stoklomolvi Imperialist units.
The difference was that Cromwell II had marked them a dangerous, rapid-flashing yellow icon.
Nuclear weapons.
Systems operators turned their firing keys, authorising Cromwell to launch its LY4032 'Rampart' exo-atmospheric anti-ballistic missile weapons.
Cromwell responded within milliseconds.
Over two hundred LY4032s cleared the deck of the kilometer-long warship, and its sister-ship some dozen kilometres away, within eight seconds, roaring skywards to meet the incoming threats. Not just over the Lyro-Prussian fleet, but wherever the LY4032s could reach. That included Imperialist bases that had also been targetted, some of them close to civilian population centres, and also communist facilities similarly near concentrations of non-combatants. The nuclear strike hadn't, it was quickly determined, just targetted the Imperialists, but also the Communists.
Every red-blooded Lyran in the room was incensed. Not that they had been fired at, nor that they had been fired at by nuclear weapons, although that in itself was more than a little unusual. Most Lyrans were not targetted by nuclear weapons on a regular basis, so the experience would have been quite unnerving on its own. But no, that wasn't what incensed the Lyrans.
The Grand World Order, purported ally to the Stoklomolvi fascists, had just used nuclear weapons on civilians. Many, many thousands could die in the ensuing few minutes. Tactical weapons or otherwise, to fire at enemy facilities, in the sure and certain knowledge that such a high number of civilians would die if the attack was successful, was an abomination. It was an act of barbarism beyond the pale of the civilised world.
As the 'Rampart' missiles rose, Cromwell indicated the firing of Prussian Skyguards, and more than one radar-tech was heard to cheer. If ever Lyras needed confirmation of the utility of providing the LY471 (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=539827&highlight=LY589) to allied states, it had just been provided.
The LY4032s continued to rise, spent stages falling away to burn up, pushing the kill vehicles out of the atmosphere on an intercept course with the incoming munitions. When intercept distance was achieved, as determined by a remarkably simple computer calculation, the 2Mt ABM warheads detonated.
The exo-atmospheric nuclear blasts hurled energy outwards in all directions, ripples of force impacting upon the inbound weapons, sometimes several at once.
In less than two minutes, it was over. Battlegroup Godwin had, in conjunction with Prussian Skyguards, and the Longswords of Battlegroup Lambert, ensured that Lyran force elements emerged unscathed, although somewhat depleted of first-tier nuclear defences in the former case.
Not everyone had been so lucky.
'Rampart' was not an unlimited range system. The protection bubble, when stretched to its limit, included large parts of the western Ukraine, by virtue of Battlegroup Godwin, and all of the Imperialist, and some communist, territories in Southern Iran, by virtue of the Skyguards located in and around Tehran. Unfortunately, there was much outside those protected areas that was not spared the nuclear fires.
In the Ukraine, Caucasus and Central Asia, tactical nuclear weapons fell. Imperialist bases, many located in or near civilian centres, were hit, and casualties began to soar. Details of the situation at communist facilities was completely lacking, but Marshal Godwin feared the worst. He hadn't gone into this conflict expecting to fear for the lives of the communists, but stranger things had happened.
Perhaps ironically, due to the Lyran action, the communist facilities in the western Ukraine were unscathed by the nuclear strike.
That state of unscathed-ness was about to change.

Because the LY4032 'Rampart' exo-atmospheric anti-ballistic missile system utilises a thermonuclear warhead to maximise its chance of successful ballistic weapon intercept, it has the secondary effect of generating large quantities of ionising energy. The Soviet Union, during the Cold War, had anticipated destroying large amounts of their own electrical systems if they were ever to use their SA-12 Gorgon ABM system, upon which the LY4032 was based. The ionising effect of exo-atmospheric nuclear explosions is commonly termed an 'electro-magnetic pulse' or 'EMP'.
The footprint of a single 2Mt weapon could be quite large, but, it was expected not enough to bring down any given military-grade system for more than the time it would take to reset the fuzes.
However, in the defence of the western Ukraine from nuclear attack, Battlegroup Godwin had fired over four hundred weapons. The EMP generated by that defensive system was immense. The very same electro-magnetic phenomena that the Soviet Union had so greatly feared had been generated, in almost exactly the circumstances they had anticipated. Virtually the entirety of the western Ukrainian theatre would suffer what would arguably be the most potent electro-magnetic pulse recorded in human history (OOC: four hundred 2Mt warheads... I'm not kidding. We have never had a bigger EMP than what that would be...). The more sensitive the electronics, the worse the effect. Systems like radars and radio recievers would be the first to go, but given the size of the pulse, it wouldn't be beyond the pale to expect the vast majority of circuits to suffer serious failures. Sensitive, military grade sensory systems were often, perhaps paradoxically, among the worst hit, and most modern systems, including 'Typhoon', 'Pike', 'Rufous', 'Fenix', 'Sea Pike', 'Mangler' and 'Redwing' while resistant, would likely be rendered inoperative until technicians could replace large elements of their internal electrics.

The same, however, was not the case for Lyras.

Lyras was not the Soviet Union. Having anticipated this very problem for decades, Lyran hardware has, for a long time, utilised Gallium Arsenide circuitry... chosen for expressly this purpose (OOC: check the write-ups for Lyran warships... it's all there.). Lyran fleet units, as a consequence of this GaAs electrical systems, were all but impervious to the effects of the EMP, and now moved to capitalise on it.

Feeding on the telemetry that had been fed to Cromwell via satellite and Prussian sensory systems, Battlegroup Godwin decided to use the window of opportunity that the nuclear attack had provided to launch its own strike. One that had just, because of someone else's hostile actions, been granted a far greater chance of success.

From the decks of over two thousand ships, over 100,000 LY589 Hellions flew. They were targeted at (besides the suitably EMP-ed TWSP fleet, which would no doubt receive the lion's share of the inbound missiles), each and every runway, control tower, oil refinery, powerplant, SAM or AShM site, radar station, rail junction, TV- or radio-broadcasting station, police station, bridge, troop concentration, and even likely troop concentrations. Each of the above mentioned facilities was simultaneously targetted by at least 2, sometimes as many as 12 Hellions, in an attempt to come as close as statistically possible to completely assured destruction. A multitude of differing warhead types were used, as appropriate, varying from WAGAV to runway-cratering to unitary AShM to submunition dispersal and more. Cromwell's constant adjustment and input into weapon flightpath would ensure optimum warhead allocation.

The hammer was falling.

Iranian theatre

Battlegroup Lambert was still closing. Hellions were in range of Pakistan Oblast, and the various fleet elements near it, but the fleet would close another 400km to ensure maximised effectiveness.

Luckily for the Soviets, they had managed to fire most of their anti-ship ordnance before they got hit by the EMP wave. Needless to say, and even though all Soviet electronics were protected against electro-magnetic pulses, the sheer combined power of the wave was enough to destroy a large number of their communication and targeting systems.

On the other side, a rather interesting portion of the Soviet's own ABM and SAM systems, as well as a good percentage of the Air Force, were kept underground, in bases previously used by the communist regime and thus were safe from the pulse. This would allow the defenders to hold the line until reinforcements arrived.

The fleet, however, being on the open seas, was not so lucky and took the brunt of the attack. Their CIWS were overwhelmed and only managed to take down a small number of missiles before they got hit with devastating power. All in all, nothing was left of the Carrier Battle Group, only the submarine force, composed Konstantin Class "Boomers" (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=12601305&postcount=1), Avenger Class (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10957691&postcount=305) and Phantom Class (http://www.forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=11052319&postcount=365) "Hunters" were left unscathed, and quite angry at that. Slowly and silently, they started making their way towards the TPF'ian fleet, if anything, they sink a couple of those suckers.

Вильнюс

As the Liberals withdrew, the Beatusian regulars were celebrating, they quickly set up in the city, which they hoped would be their command post. With the arrival of Cottish troops, the Liberals moral returned, and the Beatusians had to hold up positions. However, they took up a position near the center of the city, far from any real fighting. One of the Beatusians cough some Liberals, and had from what they said, deduced that a large attack was imminent. The alert was flashed out to all positions, take cover immediately. The command center had already been established in a subway station, and being underground, felt no need to move. Then the Cottish shells landed, and, the few Beatusian regulars, and many of the 300,000 Beatusian nationals that had joined the Beatusian forces, had not been warned, as had almost all of the Stoklomolvi irregulars. However, the well trained Beatusian soldiers had taken proper precautions, and taken shelter. That, with the fact that their locations were most likely unknown to the Cottish, as they had just arrived, and taken parts of the city, where communist forces had previously been low. It took seconds for the Beatusian forces to know what had happened, and about 30 seconds more for them to reach their NBC suits. Another 30 to put them on. Some exposer was possible, but minimal at best. It was soon found, that the other Communist forces had evacuated the city, and that the Cottish were behind the attack. Much of the city was highly irradiated, however, the Beatusians were not yet ready to give it up. They had feared attack from artillery, and used hardened concrete parking garages to part their tanks and equipment, which where of course equipped with NBC systems. When and if Cottish forces entered the city, they would be quite surprised. It was still unknown if Cottish forces knew of the Beatusian positions in the city. After the attack, defenses at the command center were stepped up, and control of the subway system was secured. Some sections had suffered immense damage, but it was still usable as a way to move people around avoiding the damaged and exposed surface. All crews were ordered to their tanks, and AA weapons. They were instructed to set up positions around the Beatusian section of the city, and ensure the safety of the Beatusian command.

~At Serglligrad~
The armor didn't so much collide, as meet a halt. The attacking troops had the enemy surrounded, but in trouble sectors more troops were positioned, the quick-response saved many lives and brought more to where the position was necessary. ATGM and the armor that had been placed in the tank pits blasted away at the oncoming armor, which was all marching towards the Eastern part of the city, soon an armored counter attack of some eight hundred tanks would attack from the North East and South East from the city and put the Stoklomolvi armor at great risk, adding to this the already large volume of rounds that was being pumped at all incoming enemy troops, it would be devastating for an infantrymen to try and stop a tank, it would be horrible for that same infantry man to even stand up, albeit for the tanks, which had mines to watch for, they either way they had their flanks exposed to some enemies.

The Fascist troops that were being trained were plucked straight out of the training camps and shipped out to necessary sectors of the city, so far about fifteen thousand of the two hundred thousand Fascist troops had been pulled from training and had been positioned to reinforce a position. There were five hundred tanks positioned on each side of the city, plus the eight hundred tanks would be moving to do a pincer move against the advancing tank columns.

~At Karachi/Beachhead~
Out of the some three hundred aircraft that were flying over Karachi at the time of the attack, some hundred fifty had been shot down, although thanks to jamming systems, decoys and CIWS cover from the off shore fleet. Now a wing of some twenty fighters broke off and fired their ASM at the nuclear artillery after it had been called it.

More than half of the beachhead had been radiated by the nuclear shells, but as the green zones were figured out the troops kept pushing on against the oncoming fire. However due to the nuclear attack some four thousand had been completely irradiated, another two thousand have fallen due to sickness, enemy incoming small arms has killed near a thousand and wounded about four thousand, but as the troops continue to push on and the bunkers are destroyed as they are located the mission will be easier for the infantry.

~Over Islamabad~
The planes completely turned around. They were on their way to decimate the city of Karachi, their main target would be the city itself, their firebombs would annihilate the populace. Islamabad had been deemed to dangerous to even attempt to fly over, and thus the attack would have to commence on a less guarded city.

Around Stoklomolvi

The Lyran EMP barrage, which while was a side effect of the missiles, started disabling electronics from around southern Stoklomolvi, angering citizens from all camps and rallying them against the Lyrans and more broadly the imperialists. While the imperialists were more mellow and thanked the Lyrans, the other factions were not as forgiving and threatened retaliation with strategic nuclear strikes. Naturally, nothing happened. The battle went on, with the factions still fighting, forgetting about the selfless act of the Lyrans to save their own lives.

Sergllingrad, Black Sea State | Stoklomolvi

The Cnian armour and infantry columns charged as expected. They moved forward, surging at the communist troops, but the communists just kept charging. Enemy missiles were shot down by the hundreds by the active protection systems, and many more were diverted by the passive protection systems. The thousands of tanks and hundreds of thousands of infantry kept charging, flattening the green fascist recruits, many of whom just fled from the battle. They were highly unmotivated, having been forced to fight for the ideology that they despised even more than communism.

The liberal garrison, which supplemented the Cnian garrison, started breaking and fled to other parts of the city, allowing communist troops to start occupying structures to give them height advantages. By this point, the Cnian pincer movement was moving into position.

Karachi, Pakistan Oblast | Stoklomolvi

The inhabitants of Karachi started panicking and fleeing the city with or without their belongings. As the Stoklomolvi Commissariat of State Security was still present in the city, they stopped inhabitants from clogging up the roads with vehicles, and forced inhabitants to leave on foot until further notice. After all, the state provided everything.

The green zones on the beaches, or the non-irradiated zones, started getting targeted by the nuclear cannons. The infantry in the bunkers moved around to compensate for the green zones, with indefensible positions being abandoned and the infantry falling back to the trench complexes, where huge numbers of LVHMG-2s were deployed and ready. Bunkers, however, were exploding left and right as Cnian aircraft bombed them to bits, with thousands of men killed and even more wounded. One of the nuclear cannons was disabled, as a missile struck it right after it fired its nuclear shell. The others were lucky, as they were reloading under the metal gate as the missiles impacted on the surface. Fortunately, none of the shells exploded for any of the cannons, preserving non-contaminated nature of the cannon sites. Still, the city would not fall for a long time.

The Cnian aircraft, which flew back towards Karachi, where followed by a number of S-400 Triumf missiles. Around the outskirts of Karachi, magnetic chaff was fired at high velocities to reach the altitude of the aircraft, where the chaff would fly into the aircraft at high speeds to puncture or destroy them. Near the city itself, the S1A1 and S1A2 flak tanks opened fire with a wall of flak and missiles.

Western Ukraine Stoklomolvi

The 104th Airborne has landed West of Lviv, approximately 35 miles away from the Divisions. During the fall, 5 soldiers are dead while 15 are missing; the next remaining batch of 104th Airborne regiment will be in Lviv soon after Lviv is in full Imperialist stronghold. 104th Airborne mission was to located the Imperialist Resistance, establish a base within the cities, get Intel from the people, and establish the Western Ukrainian Front.

The Divisions are on its way while collecting any ammunition from dead soldiers that was left to rot on a empty battlefield. Some are military battle tanks but are heavily damage which was useless to the Divisions; however, they collected few undamaged rounds and took advantage of the light armor plating. Still miles away from Lviv, at the distance, they approach an abandon radio building, the radio-com confirm its still operational and can be use to announce the arrival of Vietnam Royal Army to the people of Lviv, so that they won’t shoot at them.

To the People of Lviv,

As the Greal bombardment started to end, the liberals took up their positions in the capital of the Byelorussian province, Minsk. The would be, without a doubt, very bloody, as the liberals were ready to fight for the last man until conditions said otherwise. Hundreds of thousands of liberal civilians and military men were dead, and the remaining would not surrender. Using stolen S1A1 flak tanks from the communists, they took up positions in and around buildings, out of sight from the advancing communists.

Lviv, Imperialist-occupied Ukraine | Stoklomolvi

At the imperialist command in Lviv, a radio message was received from the Vietnamese [demonym?]. They thought about the message, and debated about it for a long while.

"The Vietnamese [demonym?] seem to sincerely want to help us. They have never been hostile towards the imperialists."

"I don't think so. They're probably just as bad as that damned 'World Soviet Party' that does nothing but sell pornography."

"It's a trap!"

The debate went on for nearly an hour until a general decided to accept the Vietnamese [demonym?] but keep an eye on their advance. The other men agreed, and soon the Vietnamese were being searched for.

Under the cover of darkness, a small Unit of Holy Inquisition Force inserted itself on a deserted communist beach off the shores of the black sea via a swordfish that is apart of a hunter strike group from TPF that agreed to cooperate in the operation. The group of about five brave men debarked the sub, with their covert ops gear but they all had their priest robes in hand that would be their cover for the remainder of the mission. The leader of the unit Lieutenant Mury looked at his men as to inspire them, because they all knew fair well that this was the first time that soldiers of their country had set foot on foreign soil during a war. There was more at stake here than the success of a mission. The Southern Hexagon had already sent multiple groups of their IRHRF (International Religious Humanitarian Relief Force) to the region to join the other followers of the faith in blessing the ones who have departed. These first groups of actual priests and humanitarian workers had given the Southern Hexagon general intel of the region as well as the location of multiple communist leaders.

The unit of HIF a few hours after walking, arrived at their rendezvous point, and were greeted by priests of other nation's IRHRF and the men were given their orders. They were to go on a tour to multiple towns across the region providing aid. Their plans had already been tampered with so that they would be traveling to their mission objective. Their first destination, Minska, an average sized town that happened to be the location of a prominent communist leader.

The Grand Admiral stood over the shoulder of a radar operator, watching sixteen blue blips move around several red blips. The radio transmissions echoed throughout the CIC and everyone was quiet save for the NCO giving orders to the radio operator.

"Missiles incoming from ground-based CIWS. Drop flares, fire chaff and evade."

"We may have a problem, Warbird 1."

"Cannon appears to be moving underground. IR spike."

A loud thud was heard, followed by interference and then white noise.

The Grand Admiral watched as all the blips disappeared from the radar screen.

"What the...?" he said to himself, looking up one of the windows of the CIC. At that moment something intensely bright flashed from around about where the Storkes had been. "Dammit."

Meanwhile the radio operator was making fruitless attempts to contact the flight of Storkes.

"It's no use." the Grand Admiral said. "Look." He pointed to a rising mushroom cloud. As the radio operator and most others in the CIC turned to look, something else flashed. Another mushroom cloud began to rise.

"Damn." the Comms NCO said. "They never had a chance to escape."

"I swear, those goddamn commies are gonna get this back tenfold." the Grand Admiral said. "Just not right now. Set course to the Cottish beachhead."

A message was flashed to the Cottish deployment asking for permission to disembark at their beachhead to begin offensive operations.

Gregor Pavosatch, one of the figureheads for the communist party, is usually under close guard because of the usual communist paranoia. Gregor had a devout passion for his church, therefore he was a usual attendee. Gregor visits his local church every Sunday that he is in town and does not allow his bodyguards to come into the church.

It was than decided that Sunday at church would be the highest probability of success for the kidnapping attempt. Two days before the planned operation one of the members of the unit of HIF was arrested because local communist counter intelligence forces had branded him as a capitalist spy. Once the High Bishop of The Southern Hexagon heard about the obvious fate of one his pseudo-priests, he begged all people of faith in the world to condemn the capture and probable execution of a man of faith. Fearing political fallout, the soviet counter intelligence forces did not arrest the remaining members of the HIF unit. There was also a respect for these supposed men of God in the small and humble town of Bravstok. These events would make the operation go about with more ease.

Sunday arrived and the "foreign priests" (members of the HIF Unit under cover) had a guest sermon at the local church of Gregor Pavosatch. The service went about as normal, but when Gregor took his communion he was given bread that had been tainted with a slow release tranquilizer drug. He returned to the pews and felt himself getting weaker. The service ended and as the mass of the people were leaving the church Gregor stumbled and fell to the ground only to be helped up by one of the pseudo-priests that guided him to a confession booth. A large chest almost the size of a casket that was brought in by members of the unit before the service was opened and Gregor was put into the chest, after the people had left, as religious memorabilia was randomly scattered over his body.
When the pseudo-priests tried to leave the church, Gregor's body guard was getting nervous because he had not came out of the church yet. Gregor at times visited with the local priest after the service, but a good amount of time had already passed. The bodyguards saw two of the missionaries carrying the chest and immediately red flags went up their minds. They stopped the priests and demanded them to open the chest. The leader of the HIF unit said that there was material that was not to be disturbed, but said they could look into the chest, but that they were forbidden to touch anything. The bodyguards looked in and saw assorted bibles and old texts but saw that something was hidden under the riff-raff. They went to search the chest more, but their hands were quickly knocked away by the head of the pseudo-priests.

"You shall not disturb the tools of the men of GOD!" Exclaimed the members of the Unit

Knowing that this was suspicious, but worried about causing another religious-political conflict with these religious men, the bodyguards pondered their next move. The unit of HIF were praying that the bodyguards would back down.

Southern Iran

In just a week after the initial airborne landings, Iran itself had been secured and the Imperialists had finally secured a signficant amount of land that contain much need populace and resources. The Imperialist Army had renewed and doubled its efforts versus the fascists, and more and more equipment was being flown in from TPF to supply the Imperialists forces with in order to make them more effective in combat operations.

It was soon decided among the forces of TPF and Lyras that a full scale offensive would begin against the fascists. The Lyran battlegroup nearby would land and deposit its massive land force against the fascists, while in Ukraine Prussian forces would land in now allied Soviet territory and begin the offensive against the communist forces. However, the Lyrans needed the ports intact in order to allow for rapid deployment of their massive troop loads, and it was decided the the Prussian airborne forces would advance against these ports and seize them before fascist forces several damaged the ports.

The operation commenced quickly, and would involve ten thousand airborne troops and several hundred special operations soldiers seizing a total of five major ports. It would be a combined parachute and helicopter assualt, the helicopters being flown in several days in advance via the C-10's. The assualt would be covered by Warhawk tactical bombers and Haven fighters.

On Friday, at 0:00 hours, midnight the operation began. The first troops in were commandos that were inserted via Black Talons, a modification of the venerable Hucakbee transport helicopters. They flew well below radar horizon at high speeds, no lights emanated from their black hulls as the NVG equipped elite pilots maneuvered the birds eloquently. They set down quietly in several fields a few kilometers away from the major ports, the special forces commandos then moved to secure the fields and nearby roadways, ensuring no harm would come to the thousands of airborne troopers landing.

The planes and helicopters then departed from Irainian airbases towards the sea and the ports, as the Warhawks began their attacks on port air defenses. Wild Weasel F-50's attracted the attention of the surface to air missiles and anti-aircraft positions. Once the radar painted the wild weasel they were met with HARM missiles from the Warhawks, which locked on to and destroyed the radar sites, clearing the way for the airborne troops.

As they first troops landed via parachute and helicopter, large C-40 aircraft began delivering both 105mm howitzers and Cougar (http://z4.invisionfree.com/NSDraftroom/index.php?showtopic=4099)airborne assualt vehicles to all the landing zones. Soon, the attacks on the actual ports began. Warhawks initiated pinpoint bombing runs against enemy formations, while the 105's also began unleashing a relentless torrent of fire upon enemy buildings and positions. The airborne troops then began to move up to the ports, covered by the Cougars and their fellow infantrymen. A bloody fight would likely follow, but the Prussian soldiers were confident in their ability to complete the mission.
