The San Javier Conflict (OOC | TWI ONLY)

[Corindia]

I'm hoping to get a post out tonight. I've been in finals hell for a bit, but I'd like to keep my characters fresh in my mind

[Atnaia]

Alright, so, we should make this war go hot. People seem to have lost interest or something so let's kick the gear up a notch.

Then I think my next post will be about the planning and start of an attack against the communists in Santa Ana, as a first step to "liberate" that district from communist control and open the road from the south-eastern villages towards the northern coast and the capital.

Who is currently operating there that I should be aware of? Who is supporting the communists and in what manner?

I'm sorry, I need Helvetea to finish the deal to use my military force on the island or anything else. I can only use my oil scientists and they aren't 'kicking it up a notch'.

If he doesn't reply soon, can I imagine the deal went neutral and nothing happened, so I can continue? Say I give him until the weekend?

I'll tg him to see if he's still around, NS says that he was 6 days ago.

[Bhikkustan]

I've less lost interest than just have no idea what to do.

[Corindia]

I'm just busy with finals

[Vancouvia]

I'm just busy with finals

Yep. Mine are done in a week then I can do a lot more.

If you mean the purple dots directly under Monte Rosario, I am relatively close (Rio Del Rosario).

I mean the villages east of Rio Del Rosario, on the way from the area of Rio Del Rosario towards Santa Ana. That's the major area I'm operating in.

[Athara Magarat]

Here is it, Ostehaar sir.

Numbers: Around 250 (some of the guys c'ted during the Siege of Santa Ana by Communist forces)

Level of Weaponry: Just plain old rifles. AK-47s and RPGs and hand grenades and (only by Dragon Faction) kukri knives.

Areas of Control: So far they helped the communists to take Santa Ana.

More info within the rp.

The thing is I will be gone for another week due to these overly long high-school exams, I hope you take care of Santa Ana

Thanks! That's very helpful. :)

I was hoping for it to be a rather long battle, not something swiftly decided, but if no one will be around to "resist" my actions, I guess I'll RP the other side as well a bit. Or, actually would Atnaia (as our DM) like to RP them?

This was fun to write. Anyways, I'm starting an assault on the base I mentioned before.

Or, actually would Atnaia (as our DM) like to RP them?

I'm not DM. My hopes for this RP was that everyone can write the NPCs themselves and sort of collaborate to form the story.

[Noronica]

Turns out that Helvetea is not inactive, so I will wait to see if he can continue the diplomatic meeting.

[Ostehaar]

As of 16/12 in the morning it should be common knowledge (public, media, etc.) that right-wing paramilitaries began a wide assault on Santa Ana, in an attempt to take it from the communist forces. Some human rights violations are being committed during the offensive (bombing of civilian neighborhoods, indiscriminate shooting, and such) and a surge of refugees fled from Santa Ana's southern parts to its center and north (or out of it). The offensive is still ongoing.

It should be a surprise that the right-wing paramilitaries have succeeded in pulling off such a well-coordinated attack, and it should be very surprising that they had so many advanced anti-armor missiles (which was one of the reasons for their successful capture of the southern suburbs of the city).

I assume that Santa Ana is now being taken over by the right-wing paramilitaries? So I will do a rp post of the offensive and my guys and the communists leaving the mountain area (sad thing we really were suited for the mountain areas).

Seeing the advanced anti-armor missiles and other military equipment, the defenders know that they are facing a proxy of some highly-developed and powerhouse nation and will leave the area for now.

So the loss of Santa Ana is a major blow for the communists because Atnaia said something like the area being the major stronghold for communists. Now they have to find some other area for a strong base.

I am going to post about my squadron arriving this weekend (I made a news post where they were deployed but didn't have time to post and will blame weather RP wise) is there any group I can launch a tomahawk missile at (after making a post of an intelligence briefing of suspected communist/right-wing paramilitary/other criminals?

If you want to hit an outpost of ours that'd be fine. Our HQ is still recovering from the last scripted missile attack.

Is there an informant I can go to in San Javier to give me the location?

You can say you bribed a local Iza peasant to give you the location of the outpost (which I'm sort of imagining as the open-air terminus of several tunnels). There's a bit of a blurred line between the AN Cruzados and Iza civilians, particularly in high combat border areas where the Iza are more likely to resent westerners, and most of the locals would have a pretty good idea of where some of the important tunnels are. Most are loyal, but one could be a filthy traitor. I'm trying to model it after the VC and the Vietnamese peasantry.

You don't have to leave yet - this can turn into a long and bloody battle. The missile supply will eventually run out, and the communists are greater in number, so a balance may be created, throwing the city into chaos (Aleppo style, for example...). It can be cool to do that, and the humanitarian issue could bring more players into the story.

[Atnaia]

I like the idea of a long and bloody battle. When my extra forces and real commander arrive, perhaps I'll divert a few that way just to throw gas on the fire...with LaBelle trying to cloy for more authority, his snivelling mishandling of the situation could turn it into a real clusterfuck.

Specifically, you can do something that none of the current sides of the battle in Santa Ana can do - aerial bombardments and precision strikes.

Bingo.

[Ostehaar]

So AM - you don't have to RP a retreat, especially not from the mountain area (which isn't even under attack at the moment). I'd imagine the communist forces in the city would fiercely try to hold on to it, specifically because it's one of their strongholds.

[Athara Magarat]

Atnaia and Ostehaar, is Santa Ana a village or a town or a city? I have in my posts written it as a town wheras Or sir has written it as a city and in the dispatch it is a mountain village. Since we are going to have a long battle, let's make it a town or a city.

We all can agree that we want a long battle for Santa Ana. The most anti-Atnaian forces members are getting confused as to who they are currently fighting in the Battle of Santa Ana. Regardless of that, their mission now is to protect Santa Ana as it the major communist stronghold in San Javier (isn't it, Atnaia sir?). As the battle becomes more and more longer, we expect more and more communist forces to join the fight and other nations supporting the communists to help us.

To Ostehaar sir, just posted the continuation of the battle. After being wiped in the first round, the communist guerrillas are massing up in the south while the terrorist groups are preventing the right-wing paramilitaries to enter from either south-east or west. It's still a stalemate
