Hutanjian War and Armistice (OOC - CLOSED to new apps)

[Neu Engollon]

IC THREAD HERE: http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=197583

This is the OOC thread.
PROXY WAR MT/PMT

This was a scenario originally created by myself and Paldariia in the summer of 2012.
We were Co-OPs, but since his departure from NS, I am now the sole OP. I came up with the names Hutanjia, and Kenega, but Paldariia came up with names for the Wishton Sea, Cardwiths, its capital of Hesttens, and a couple major cities: Noritts and Molnitha. I filled in the other cities later. The capital of The Cardwiths moved from Hesttens to Noritts after the decimation of Hesttens during the first major battle of the Cardwiths.

The Location is a Oceania/New Guinea/Solomons type chain of islands in the Pacific. Polynesian history and ethnicity predominate.

The RP starts as the island nation of Hutanjia was in a state of civil war in 2012, the government was a monarchy ruled by the ineffectual King Popilu, the rebel forces were led by Doctor Charles Nellis, a Kenegan immigrant who, after seeing the horrible condition the people lived in, became a key part of the revolution to dethrone the King. Eventually, when it became evident that the Hutanjian people overwhelmingly supported the government, the focus shifted from freeing all of the Hutanjian islands from the Otumlo dynasty to helping the Cardwithians gain independence. At the start, in a UFF campaign in 2010, the Hutanjian government forces were pushed back to their home island of Nevorn by the irregular units of the United Freedom Front, aside from a small chunk of northern Nesselberg that held the major city of Vesselle, and a very pro-Hutanjian population on that third of the island. Both sides brought in foreign allies for military, material, and financial support in the war. [Falkasia and New Edom] Additionally, the Hutanjians signed a major contract with the USG Security Corporation to provide contractors, using Edomite and other foreign aid funds.

The first half of the war ended after a semi-successful invasion of West and North Cardwith, and southern Nesselberg, and a KHS (Royal secret police) coup which toppled the monarchy, but failed to secure control of the government.
Later, the newly formed Republican government counterattacked and gained considerable ground in the Cardwiths. The Cardwith Islands have claimed independence. An armistice was worked out on Kenega.
The Falkasians and Cardwithians broke the armistice by invading northern West Cardwith and pushing out New Edomite, Hutanjian and PMC auxiliary forces. The Hutanjian and allied forces evacuated from the ports of Anjoux and Hesttens to North Cardwith and Nesselberg.

Once again, in Kenega City, President Hespatu signed a document officially recognizing Cardwithian independence and ceding the island of North Cardwith, along with the vacated East and West Cardwith Islands over to the new socialist government led by President Nellis. Although Nesselberg was also claimed by the Cardwiths, Hespatu refused to cede the Hutanjian island over. This was the Treaty of Kenega. Still to this day, despite and in violation of the Treaty, The Cardwithians support UFF rebels on Nesselberg that continue to harass Hutanjian and allied forces there. They deny their involvement with the 'local' rebels. In addition, a Nesselbergian independence movement (The FNM) started in 2015 to throw out both the Hutanjians, and also Cardwithian influence on the island. The RP has not caught up with these events yet, but should soon.

Factions:

Rebel and Independence Faction: The Cardwith Islands
Ally 1: The UFF of Hutanjia (United Freedom Front is the ruling Socialist party of the Cardwiths, but also represents indigenous Marxist Nesselbergian rebels that fight under the UFF flag.)
Ally 2: Falkasia

Government Forces: Hutanjia
Ally 1: USG PMC (First RP'd through Neu Engollon, then later through separate account USG Security Corporation)
Ally 2: New Edom

Neutral: Kenega

HUTANJIA

The nation (Kingdom and later Republic) of Hutanjia is mainly thin jungles with small cities and towns dotting the landscape. The largest cities are Chastille and Molnitha on Nevorn, Vesselle on Nesselberg, and Hesttens and Norritts on The Cardwith Islands. Nesselberg is deep jungle, unlike the Cardwiths and Nevorn, which have scattered forests, plains and scrub trees in areas. The Nesselberg island, except for the greater Vesselle area, consists of very few fully paved roads and those that are there are in definite need of repair. It is a tropical climate and receives rain in brief spurts almost 200 days of the year. It is rich in resources, which the monarchy can't mine on their own, hence the interest of large superpower (mentor/supplier) nations. All the islands of Wishtonia are surrounded by the Wishton Sea.

THE CARDWITH ISLANDS

KENEGA

The next nearest land mass is the neutral, island nation of Kenega, also part of the Wishton Archipelago. Kenega is the scene of many undercover operations, maneuverings and the Armistice Conference. More maps can be found either in the signatures or factbooks of The Cardwith Islands, Hutanjia and The UFF of Hutanjia.

We're no longer seeking other players. Thank you for your interest.

IC participants already in the thread are asked to not post for 12 hrs after the offending post in order that it can be deleted as the last link in the chain.

** We are in the end stages of the conflict and are not taking any more applications. Thank you. This OOC thread and the corresponding IC thread may still be posted in by above named nations only.

[New Korongo]

Government Type: Parliamentary Republic
Side Being Supported: Government Forces
Type of Support: MHPG Airmobile Infantry Company, Former MHPG Equipment, MHPG Fighter Pilots
Distance to Island Chain: 20,000 Kilometres

[Falkasia]

Sign-Up Sheet

Government Type: Benevolent Dictatorship
Side Being Supported: Rebels
Type of Support: Enormous monentary/material aid, military advisors, several FSIS Tactical Squads, elements of the 212th Paramilitary Unit
Distance to Island Chain: Considerable. Allied bases in the area allow ease of resupply however.

[Neu Engollon]

Thanks for replying New Korongo. We're looking forward to getting this going. Since you might have some RP experience, would you mind being the mentor state for the Government side? You wouldn't have to sit on the sidelines, but you'd also help push things along both OOC and IC with keeping us on track and funneling the right support to the monarchy against the rebels. Since we have Falkasia as the mentor state for the UFF/rebel side lined up, all we need left is the newer players to fill in as the satellite allies. Any takers?

[Paldariia]

Bump so new members to NS can see it and join.

[Spark Islands]

I've been around NS off and on for years, but I haven't had a decent RP in awhile.

Nation Name: Republic of The Spark Islands
Government Type: Democratic Republic
Side Being Supported: Rebels
Type of Suppor:t Republican Navy destroyer SIS Inflexible, Battle Group Negrilla (one airmobile infantry company, one mechanized infantry company, one light tank company, supporting units - total of 900 men)
Distance to Island Chain: 10,000 nautical miles

[Paldariia]

Wonder why nobody is supporting the government? Probably because they don't know that the leader of the revolution worships the god of chaos and sucks out the souls of those who oppose him because he is actually a manipulative alien from who serves the dark Princes of the warp.

[Neu Engollon]

Ha! That must be it. Or I scare them away. Either way. I think we have enough to get a good start going. One more at least for the Gov. side, but they could jump in after the start. You ready? I may actually, play the monarchy/ gov. forces and drop the whole merc thing, just to get this thing going. Unless New Korongo wants to be the King, in which case, I'll gladly step aside.

[New Edom]

Sign up sheet
Nation Name:the Allied States of New Edom
Government Type:Monarchy
Side Being Supported: (No third parties)Government
Type of Support:military, Economic
istance to Island Chain:3000 km

Backstory: The Allied States of New Edom has been engaged in its own struggle for Monarchy vs. Socialists; there is a peace treaty being attempted right now. Seeking access to resources is only part of it; they also want to send away lukewarm officers who are reluctant to fight their own people.

Sorry btw, weird edit going on. I would like to send in an amphibious ship, 2 frigates, 1,200 ground forces, 10 helicopters, 8 VTOL fighters, 16 tanks, 60 IFVs, 60 Land Rovers, 30 HEMTTs, 4 Anti-Aircraft SPG, 16 MRLS, 8 SPH.

[Neu Engollon]

Cool. I think that's a good start. I'll start the thread in the morning unless you want to start it, Paldariia. Just leave a link for us to follow. I'm out for now.

[Port Harbour (Ancient)]

Sign-up Sheet
Nation Name: Port Harbour
Government Type: governorate
Side Being Supported: rebels
Type of Support: Military, Economic, Political, Humanitarian
Resistance to Island Chain: 2,000 km

Backstory: Port Harbour used to be a quiet-enough place. Now, it's hungry for resources, and governments friendly to it.

An ineffectual and bureaucratic monarchy is not to the liking of Port Harbour. Should we provide economic and military support (under the guise of 'humanitarian aid'), we would be securing natural resources in the islands, as well as making sure the new, rebel government is friendly to foreign business.

Basic run-down of participation is Harbourite money/trainers/explosives and weapons - until a Harbourite trainer ("citizen") gets hurt by the government.

Then, participation would probably be one amphibious assault ship, two frigates, one supply tanker, 400 ground troops, 12 multirole fighters, 8 tanks, 4 self-propelled howitzers, 30-so armoured fighting vehicles and small arms (anti-tank, anti-armour weapons, light machine guns, ammunition).

[New Korongo]

I believe that it would be more appropriate for New Edom to be the mentor state of the government forces since it would not be the Korongolese government as a whole supporting the government, only the slightly rebellious leader of a province. This is why supplies are from the Mount Hagen Provincial Guard and not the Imperial Korongolese Armed Forces.

[Neu Engollon]

I will be starting the thread shortly and putting the link here so you can all follow. For now, it will be just be me and Paldariia posting to get the back story filled in, then the mentor/'superpower' states will chime in with communiques, send advisers, popular vocal support, etc. whatever they're going to do to get the ball rolling. Paldariia and I are the main newbies here and looking for tips, so I guess I'm just stating this for the benefit of ourselves, but...allies jumping in need to take proper steps, letters of protest or support, meetings, send advisers, then eventually small troop contingents AKA no magically showing up offshore with a super fleet and a million troops. Correct?
Anyway, let's get started...

[Neu Engollon]

Hutanjia is my puppet, just to cut down on any confusion.

.

I think I will be playing both, the merc regiment and monarchy forces. Since everyone wants to pile on the rebel side.

PS If you think that you want to drop out, or something comes up and you can't contribute, let us know so we can write you out, classy-like, and give the spot to another player that may want to get in. (We got more apps than spots.)

Thanks Anacasppia,
I think the slots filled up, but can I TG you if somebody drops out or we decide to expand? (Also, if we lose someone on the monarchy side, would you be willing to fill in there or not?)

[Republic Of Serb Krajina]

Nation Name: Republic Of Serb Krajina
Government type: Democracy
Side Being Supported: The King/Monarchy
Type of Support: 15 thousand soldiers, 1 heavy armed divison (25 tanks, 30 Amoured Humvees, 30 major Artillery peices, 1 Anti Air defense truck, and 2 Anti Air Guns) This all together forms The Krajina Volunteer Corps which will be directly under command of the King and his staff. We will also steadily supply and try and meet the demands of arms, food, and metal supplies the King needs. A naval fleet will also be present (1 Battleship, 2 Cruisers, 1 Destroyer, and 2 midget submarines). All these also will be given to the Kings military staff. We also want to send 25 top officers to help train local Monarchy supporting militas so they can operate self sufficently.
Distance to the islands: 1500 KM.

We see this war as a bloody coup with no end to the violence, we believe if we can crush the armed rebellion we can set up a joint meeting and have a peace talk with both sides and meet the demands without this anarachy.

[Paldariia]

I just finished a 14 hour drive from Ventura to Fortuna so I'm going to crash for tonight. I work on the post tomorrow after I get my thought organized again.

[Neu Engollon]

Wow! Long drive! Rest up. Did you take 101 or the scenic route? Does PCH even go that far? (Fortuna is like by Eureka, right?) I used to live in San Bernadino area. I once drove with a buddy from Sacramento to Long Beach and that wore me out, not even as far.

1 Battalion of the Uli-Schwyz Merc Regiment is probably equal to about 3,000 troops, maybe 1,750 being combat effective vs log/support. 1. Probably won't be using fixed air wing, choppers only. Figure that the gov and major allies would have jets covered. Also, no use for major armored and FAVs, seeing as how this will be mostly small unit tactics in jungle terrain with few roads. 2. Won't be introduced until money pours in from New Edom or another major monarchy supporter. Hutanjia would be too broke to hire them on their own.

Awright! Now what do we do with this Bering guy? Not signed up, just jumping in on the IC thread. Any suggestions? Ignore him, delete posts, politely TG, ask him what his deal is? First training obstacle: How would you normally handle this, older/mentor players?

Send a TG; inform the player that he must sign up first in the OOC thread.
