The 4th and 5th Agnos Infantry Divisions have pushed north and west behind airborne operations by the 1st, 5th, 11th and 15th Agnos Skyborne Divisions, occupying northern Britain and Ireland. CG-01 thru CG-04 (Carrier groups) have moved into waters between Ireland and the Brisith isles as well as two of the hunter-killer groups in an effort to secure the waters.

The rest of the land forces have situated themselves in northern and eastern England, consolidating our base of power. Submarine and surface patrols have moved out into international waters to patrol the neighboring waters.

In a bid to claim a port off the coast of Africa and to extend supply lines, the 1st, 5th, 11th and 19th AMEUs (Agnos Marine Expeditionary Units) have landed In Sierra Leone and Liberia. Supported by an amphibious landing by the 51st and 78th Armored Divisions, air land of the 21st and 105th Infantry Divisions, and CG-06 and CG-07 they have moved inland after securing the major coastal towns. Suppression of guerrilla forces have begun as the 18th and 45th Militant Police Battalions have been mobilized and deployed as well. Supply convoys are even now headed south from the coast of Ireland.

Convoy composition:
3x AMT-2 Hephaestus Supertankers
4x AMT-1 Hermes Shuttle Tankers
10x AMT-15 Atlas Fast Sealift Transports
8x AMT-19 Demeter Bulk Freighters
CG-08 (Dark Apostle Carrier Group)
2x Hunter Killer Groups

OOC: On what are you basing this expansion on? Land grab? Parts of the African westcoast are under my Commonwealth(in my region, that is). Want to tangle? ;)

EDIT: This is a WW thread - sorry, I'll just disappear now.

(bumped b/c it's clear the other folk didn't really notice this earlier...)

***PRIORITY 1 ENCRYPTED BURST MSG***
***FROM: ARMACOR NCA***
***TO: AGNOSTICIUM NCA***

We note your interest in aquiring land in West Africa, as we consider this part of our empire we are a little worried about your aims. If you would be interesed in aquiring a base for resupply we would be happy to sign a treaty to this purpose.

***END***

Memorandum For: Armacor High Command
From: General Adrian Scott, 4th Agnos Military Group (Commanding)
Subject: Acquisition of Territory on African Continent

We of Agnosticium feel that it is in our best interests to maintain an economically viable and self-sufficient number of colonies and naval bases along the western coast of Africa. To that effect we have seized control of Sierra Leone and Liberia. At the time of our move, the territory was internationally unclaimed and therefore subject to action on our part without the conflict that would result from action against any of the major military powers.

In response to your communique, should you be offering other locations for us to lease bases or land upon which to establish new bases, we would be very interested. At the current time, however, Agnostican forces are mobilizing for a permanent occupation of Liberia and Sierra Leone.

This is a non-agression move on our part into the African subcontinent, however we will defend our current assets with all available force. Even now, we are mobilizing a total of eight divisions with which to hold this land.

As a diplomatic solution, we have no wish to wage war upon your empire and thus extend the hand of friendship in a Non-Agression Pact. If so desired, we would even be interested in an alliance as we are non-affiliated and do not see that you are affilitaed with any other nation, as well.

We await your timely reply.

4th Agnos Military Group

Agnos Forces have moved into the Eastern Theater and the invasion of the Japanese isles has begun. At 0200 hrs, elements of the 18th, 23rd, 42nd, 47th and 48th Marine Divisions began landing actions at Sapporo on the island of Hokaido, Sendaii and Negata on the isle of Honshu. Marine assaults by sea included numerous beachl andings with armor and an airborne assault by force recon Marines and advance elements of the ground parties. Three key airfields were seized and combat landing operations are now in operation as CDS (container delivery system) drops continue to resupply forward elements of the Marines.

Numerous civil uprisings have begun, both for and against Agnos forces. Deadly force is authorized in dealing with said antagonists however Agnos Forces are simply building up for a larger push. Aircraft from the Sierra Leone/Liberia operation have been diverted to leased loactions in Alaska where an Airborne operation is being coordinated and is almost ready to kick off. The 33rd, 35th and 82nd Skyborne Divisions are all allocated to the mission and a naval forece consisting of three armored and six mechanized infantry divisions is currently sailing towards the target cities.

Currently the Isle of Hokaido is under control with the deployment of three divisions. The other two on the southern Isle of Honshu have managed to secure the cities and little of the outlying suburbs. Major commercial venues are under control as are airports, ports and train stations.

Casualties:
854 KIA
403 WIA
18 MIA

Cyprus Central Command:

"Sir, our advance elements in Japan report that Japan is indeed ill-defended for its position... and that Agnos forces are busy taking advantage of that."

"Very well then. Kamchatka will work fine for our purposes. Send an envoy offering our local intelligence on the ground in Japan in exchange for cooperation in the region; it's well and truly possible that we will see difficulty in the region soon, with the nearly entire axis of unfriendly imperialists having a presence there. Largent appears to be extending a friendly hand with the Sixth and Seventh Armies staring at them from a few hundred miles outside of Beijing, but as long as they hold an alliance with Macabean forces, they cannot be trusted."

WWIX.... still going

Our movement into Japan would be made substantially easier with the aid of established ground intelligence. We have had great success in capturing the major cities, however there is a stiff resistance in the mountainous regions as well as co-ordinated attacks along major and minor arteries that shows evidence of an organized resistance to our occupation. As stated in your communique, our support in your Sino-Russian theater would be useful.

Thus we propose an alliance in this Eastern Theater. With our substantial naval assets we can help lock down the South China Sea as well as the Western Pacific. We do not hold any ill will towards anyone, however we will respect an alliance and mutual agression pact should it come to that. Even now we are raising the required materiel and personnel for an occupation force in order to move our frontline troops back to the forefront of our war machine.

We await your response.

*Open Channel message to Government of Agnosticium*

The Emperor sends his congratulations on your recent aquisition of new land for your country. He sees your success as a sign to start the new EEP or Empire Enlargement Plan, as our most recent attempts to aquire new lands have been thwarted by superior nations.

*Message Ends*

[OOC: Who is RPing Russia and China?]

Prime Minister Tesygran, speaking at the Dassau Parliament Building today denouced the actions by Agnosticium which is, as we speak invading Japan, as "purely selfish in manner, with little or no after thought toward the native populations being subjected to their aggressive land-grabbing".

The Federal Department of Foreign Affairs Minister Ibaraki has extended an invitation to the Government of Japan proposing relocation to Hrstrovokia if Japan falls to Agnosticium.

Before flying off to the War-torn State of Boroglia, Mr. Ibaraki told Journalists that "the struggle for Japanese freedom will continue through the exiled government. Every assistance will be afforded to our Japanese allies. This blatant act of Imperialist aggression will not be the end of the Japanese State."

[OOC: I'm guessing this is part of something big, so you may disregard my comments if this is a spin off from another RP.]

Communique wired from Cyprus Central Command to Agnos 4th Fleet Command, AHN Eviscerator
CC: Free Siberian Republic Presidential Commission, Pacific Fleet Command
Consider the alliance in place. Our intelligence assets are quite familiar with the situation on the ground, as well as the nature of the resistance, and will be aiding you in obtaining their rapid subdual shortly, as we find an alliance between Tahar Joblis (and supported states of the TSR and FSR) and Agnosticum desirable in the eastern theatre, where true allies are particularly sparse. Possible threats south from Largent, SAVX, and Macabean elements cannot be discounted.

I feel like I missed out on something.....

myself and about 20 other countries are doing WWIX

I noticed.

Which side should I join?

I believe that the sides are chosen and closed for now, however you might want to look for the thread and ask the guys who actually started it up.
