OOC: This thread concerns Kisnesia's RP in World War IX. If you are not on the Macabees list, we will ignore you at our discretion.

-------------
Location: Azores, off the coast of Spain/Africa

Total Armed forces: 22 Million upon full mobilization (just under 3% of population)
Total Combat forces (60% of forces): 13 Million

Army: 7 million
Infantry forces: 4 million, in 20 armies of 200,000 each
Tank forces: 30,000 Leopard 285 MBTs
Ground-based missile forces: 10,000 M270 MLRS (we like missiles J)
Along with necessary supporting vehicles

Navy:
15 Battle Groups each consisting of:

1 Battleship-Carrier w/ assorted fighters/bombers/helicopters
1 Nimitz Carrier w/ 85 F-22s
2 Frigates
2 Cruisers
2 Attack Subs

Plus several smaller groups

Air Force:
Emphasis on air superiority:
40,000 F-22s
500 B-2 Bombers
Wide assortment of other forces

Note that most of these forces have been purchased, very few are home-built.

Money came from the sale of Kisnesian supercomputers, totaling up to 1.07 Trillion USD.

check telegrams

Kisnesia has heard of disturbances by Intergallactic Hell in the Andorra region: Human Rights abuses, massacres, etc. (OOC: none really, but we have to have some excuse)

Kisnesia has moved troops into Southern France in an attempt to assist the Andorran people and to rid them of Hell's tyrrany ( :) )

i just decided i needed oil, i had the suez and then the rest is required so ppl dont stop me ;-)

OOC: Did you get our 2nd Telegram?

ok yes.... and i ran out of colors on the map... (it was originally just for me... so...)

OOC: *boggle* 40,000 F-22 and 500 B-2? :shock: That is... well... an awful lot of expensive planes... even for a rich big country... did you skip a digit there?

Elements of the Tahar Joblissan Atlantic Fleet have been sighted near the Amazon delta...

ooc
they use them for cars :-)
just encourage him to overfly a few sam belts... should fix the problem :-)

5 of Kisnesia's 15 Carrier groups have moved to the coast just off France: 2 in the Atlantic, and 3 in the Medditeranean (thanks to our friends at CHS CitiBank Corp).

Kisnesia will help its ally CHS CitiBank Corp defend its homeland.

Had Macabees not attacked, they would have been allowed to pass through the straits unaffected. However, due to Macabees' agression, Kisnesian lives will be lost defending the straits.

Due to the extreme proximity of the Straits to the Azores, 10 of Kisnesia's 15 double-Carrier battle groups have been relocated to the straits. Troops have been called off the Franco-spanish border, and are reinforcing CCC positions in Gibraltar and North Africa.

Yeah, and we rarely use all of them.... We have called about 2,000 total into active duty, and seem to have a shortage of pilots...

We can field about 2,000 more before it starts draining our economy. Thankfully, we have around 200 Billion set aside for repairs and fuel.

Kisnesia Invades Iceland
----------------------------
AP Report - Kisnesia has invaded Iceland in a last-ditch attempt to gain open territory before WWIX becomes a stalemate land war.

400,000 troops, or 2 of Kisnesia's 20 divisions, are now stationed in Iceland, along with 1 Carrier group. Around 300 planes defend the island, as it is not likely to be seen as a threat to most of the world powers.

Kisnesian support for CCC and Armacor around the Gibraltar region continues, however, leaks have suggested a pullout from that region for a more strategic and achievable position may be eminent.

OOC-Iceland is the key to controlling the Atlantic, and there were several Soviet strategies for capturing it if World War III broke out. Don't mind me interrupting, but I think you should realize what gold you're sitting on :P

OOC: True, but this war is restricted against trans-Atlantic warfare for the sake of simplicity. :)

NDOTJ elements in harbor in Iceland and operating from Iceland have been largely unaffected by Kisnesia's sudden takeover of the region.

Although their popularity with the locals may decline due to close association with Kisnesia, current treaty arrangements do not appear to require them to ship out of port or cease operations from it.

The NDOTJ has asked for permission to aid in fortifying the island, a project which their lease from Icelandic authorities did not cover.

Full permission is granted due to agreements with Tahar Joblis. As long as peaceful relations are mantained, your lease will continue.

Assistance in fortifications will be very much appreciated.

Kisnesia has allowed citizens to keep their local governments. The national government has been allowed to meet, but always with a Kisnesian observer, and it has been granted only limited authority, mostly over national infastructure.

On the far west side of the Azores, something is brewing...

Nearly 1 million, or 25% of Kisnesia's troops (after the draft, of course...) have been ordered to 2 small islands, where they are being boarded into ships. No one except the top commanders know where they are headed...

2 Double-Carrier battle groups are guarding the area, and 50% of Kisnesia's subs are also within a 30-mile radius, to make sure no hotshot sub leader decides to take a crack at one of the world's biggest navies.

Air patrols are being kept normal, to keep enemy forces in Spain from seeing the massive loading of troops.

OOC: Preparing to invade Macabees from the north, depending on Armacor's agreement to our strategy.

ooc// did you send me a telegram? cause i didnt get any... and i have been at a party for the weekend, is why i havent been on... (fearful and CCC were there so is probably why they didnt log on either)

also i have no prob (this is ooc in this thread, as i havent seen anything asking me yet)

Kisnesian strategists struggled with the decision of whether to take out Macabeean radar, or to leave it intact. If they destroyed the national radar system, they could attack suddenly at will. But the the Macabees would know an attack was coming.

For this reason, the chain of command decided on a risky strategy - to launch Kisnesia's fleet bearing 1 million men, or almost 25% of its fighting force, along with 10,000 tanks and 2,500 MLRSs and 8 carrier groups before destroying the radar. Spies in the nation, while not able to penetrate the millitary's top ranks so far, have been able to determine the distance their radar could see, and after upping that estimate by 20%, have devised a plan.

OOC: Please note that the map has an incorrect location for the Azores. They are off of the coast of Portugal, not Africa. Therefore, sneaking around to the North side of Spain is fairly easy.

Just before the ships were to enter Spanish radar distance, 300 Bomber craft and 1500 escort fighers, along with 500 cruise missiles (no, no special warheads, just aimed at radar stations and coastal batteries) were launched. The ships were headed for the city of Gijón ( http://www.spainexchange.com/map_of_spain.php ) , and now there was no turning back.

The fighers, bombers, and missiles were launched in two equal groups: one towards the Western coast, and one towards the Northern coast. The hope was that Macabeean forces would remain divided between these two locations and not concentrate in the North.

The invasion by sea would start soon...

OOC: I just noticed that on the map, it appears as if your homeland is the Canary Islands (I own them), strange, perhaps the Azores aren't on the map, I don't feel like loading it up again, but anyway

Oh let thine ears consider well the source of my complaint... out of the deeps have I come.

Leviathan.

From the cold depths of the Atlantic, north of the Iberian peninsula, the menace rose again. Following shortly on the heels of the Kisnesian cruise missiles (minutes after the volley arrived), 300 high penetration supersonic cruise missiles struck, with 700 pound high explosive warheads. (OOC: about 60 of these are defaulted to home in on active ground radar pings.)

With their penetrative capabilities (19' of concrete pre-detonation), the missiles are expected to adequately supplement the Kisnesian strikes, demolishing fortifications and radar installations in the Kisnesian strike zone.

Neatly painted on the finless tails of some of the missiles arriving from the third and northernmost submarine, a small Exetonian flag...

In light of increased threats to our territory, Arrivia has decided to exert its sovreignty over the English Channel. The Channel will be closed to all naval vessels wihtout prior authorization. I'm willing to exempt Exetonia, because they are also British. Hopefully, this will not affect your war plans. The Gemini battlegroup (a two-carrier group) will be tasked with enforcing the operation. (OOC: I've already got permission from the Macanees to be the Channel Islands, so don't try to pull any ignore crap on me)

err you might want to scale that up a bit... it seems currently that anything less than at least 5 carriers is too small to be worried about... (eg my 10 carrier fleet is fighting for its life in the med, fearful has 9 x 100 carrier fleets (and no army))

Oh, a two-carrier group can be a threat.

One submarine can be a threat =]

yes 1 sub is a threat... 2 carriers is not a threat to 10 carriers like 1 sub is tho :-)
