Ruskyet, Total War (IC, Closed)

[Kidlantis]

OOC: Good to see you're still fighting. Just why hasn't Ruskyet put me down as 'ally'? I'm fighting the Kengburgians.

[Kengburg]

OOC: I wish to clarify that mustard gas still covers the battlefield, making visibility quite awful due to it's thick brownish haze, so no "mass organized assaults" are likely to be taking place, and considering mustard gas can leak through military uniforms and cause quite nasty blistering, both sides are better to be staying away from the main battlefield unless they are wearing chemical protective equipment other than gas masks. Also on Ruskyet's figures of a 1,500,000 modern man military I call BS. That is close to the amount of men that the whole United States Armed forces have in real life, and considering Ruskyet only has a population of 45,000,000 (about the same as Kenya), and that it's economy is in the toilet, those figures are highly overestimated.

The Beachhead
Kengburgian Infantry knew they had to do something about the gas, quickly. They could already hear the screams of the enemy and some of their comrades due to blistering, and the semi-airtight seals on their own uniforms would not last much longer. Commander Haldric ordered an airdrop of NBC Suits near the forest, the troops then began alternating platoon by platoon to recieve the airdrop and put on their new gas resistant uniforms. They then pushed up further against the enemy, many of whom were writhing in pain from blisters, as relatively easy to dispatch. The armor was the real problem, as it continually challenged the Kengburgian advance, but Kengburgian armor support eased the load of having to deal with them alone. Plus the allied naval gun and artillery fire didn't hurt the cause.

[Kidlantis]

OOC: The Kidlantians put on as much chemical protective equipment as possible when they heard of the missile launches. Also, Kengburg, I think you should know that many countries don't use their game population. Finally, you said 'likely'. This is unlikely, but possible


Kidlantis City

"What do you mean you used mustard gas!" the president shouted at the field marshal. "Sir, it was the only way to attack them effectively. Also, we are well equipped with chemical protection gear as possible. Not to mention that some of the troops were wearing night-vision goggles." "How many?" the president asked. "Exactly 30,000, sir." replied Field Marshal Stallworth. "This presents us with an opportunity. Our stealth fighters can lead an air strike on the Kengburgians. Thermal imaging is still possible through mustard gas, correct?" said the president. The field marshal grinned. "Of course, sir."

Over the Beachhead

Kidlantian stealth fighters over the beachhead were able to distinguish the Kengburgian troops from the Kidlantian troops. The mustard gas blocked out any sight of the fighters. They launched their missiles, and left.

The Beachhead

Johstan had the only troops that had the night vision to flank the enemy. Some of the troops, say about 30,000 were caught without any protection except gas masks. 3,000 died, 17,000 suffered wounds, and 10,000 escaped to a part that was not covered in gas. Johstan ordered the HAT-1s to fire into the IFVs, and what used to be Kengburgian tanks destroying Kidlantians turned into Kidlantians destroying Kengburgians.

OOC; Exactly. Ruskyet's true population is closer to 400 million total, and I love how you simply ignored my assaults on your naval base via my submarines.

[Inyourfaceistan]

--------------- Waters off Ruskyet ----------------

The fleet prepared to make a valiant stand against insurmountable odds. Their thirty ships, now thirty-four thanks to the Kenburgian destroyers, faced two-enemy fleets, both larger than theirs.
First to strike were the Kidlantian missiles, and like rain they came down...

As the ships sensors detected the enemy missiles, the first weapon in their defense were ECM jammers whiched were fired like regular missiles, but exploded like flak once within a set distance of enemy ordinance and aircraft. The next anti-tracking trick was the use of large, aluminum drones launched from carriers that were designed to give off an overtly large radar and IR signature, throwing off enemy missiles. All ships fired their mounted Patriot missile systems at the oncoming barrage, and some of the support craft even fired their 30mm Gatling guns at the oversized enemy barrage. However, many still impacted their targets, sinking ships and damaging others. When the missiles fired by the Ruskyet fleet hit, the damage was only worsened...

Fleet Defense
Attacking Weapons: Unknown missiles, Killer-6 cruise missiles, torpedoes
Counter-Measures Deployed: Anti-Tracking devices, Patriot Missiles, AA fire
Damage Report: 2 Bolic'edi destroyed, 2 Sovremeny destroyed, 3 "Garuda" AA frigates destroyed, 3 IC-98 missile frigates destroyed, 2 supply frigates destroyed, 1 Cordoba cutter destroyed.

Desperate and facing destruction, the remaining ships prepared to fight to the death, and take the Kidlantians down with them. The remaining Bolic'edi, Udaloy, and two Sovremeny destroyers fired of their cruise missiles, and targeted enemy aircraft with their AA defenses. As their guns were too weak to penetrate the armor of most enemy ships, the destroyers instead fired their cannons at the Kidlantians still attempting to take the beach.

True to their name, the IC-121 "Garuda" AA frigates sought to rid the skies of enemy aircraft. They fired a wide variety of heat-seeking, radar-guided, infra-red and laser-guided anti-air missiles into the sky. Along with this, each ship fired its two 30mm Gatling guns, and multiple twin-22mm cannons and repeating flak guns into the sky.

Again, the remaining IC-98 missile frigates fired off a salvo of cruise missiles towards the Kidlantian forces on the beach. Now, two Cordoba cutters maneuvered between the large enemy vessels, using their speed and agility to reach the shore, where they fired on ground forces assaulting the beach with their 30mm autocannons.

Beneath the surface, the submarines realized they were outmatched, and made a desperate last stand against both the Kidlantian and Ruskyet subs. One Type-60 combat submarine fired its last salvo of torpedoes, and attempted to ram the Kidlantian carrier with everything it had. The sole Eseti recon sub surfaced itself, and fired its deck-mounted howitzer into the Kidlantians assaulting the beach.

Fleet Attack
Attack Type: Unspecified combat
Targets: Kidlantian ships (priority on the aircraft carriers), Kidlantian ground forces on the beach, Kidlantian and Ruskyet aircraft
Weapons used: Cruise Missiles, Torpedoes, Howiters, Naval guns, autocannons, AA missiles, AA guns, flak guns, suicide ram by submarine

The remaining marine forces were sent via amphibious assault craft down the coastline to where the fighting had either died down, or never occurred. Large, hover-craft type transports pushed up on the oceans water, while BTR-80's swam alongside them. The four MH-60 Seahawks, escorted by six Ka-52 Hokum attack helicopters, also moved with the large marine force, albeit small in comparison to the other nations.

Taking a low-profile, and more discreet path of action, the V-7 stealth transports flew fast and cautious toward rebel-controlled territory. Inside them held fifteen "Neige Luno" or "Black Moon" commandos, and five humanitarian aid crew, along with loads of supplies and food, and maybe a few weapons.

To: Commander Michelle Bordeux,
From: Admiral Armand Sarillo,

I do beleive we shall see our goal of slaughtering these egocentric Kidlantians with their knees in the surf. Unfortunately, I doubt I will be around much longer to witness it. My fleet is gravely outnumbered, and while I do appreciate the help from the Sovremeny destroyers, the enemy is closing in behind us. However, I am currently sending a force of 300 Marines, commanded by Colonel Victor Santoli who is ordered obey your orders, down the coast toward your forces.

Included in them are 40 M1A2 Abrams MBT's and 20 YT-2 Heavy Tanks. The YT-2 is designed off the chassis of the T-90, but constructed with the same material as the Abrams or Leopard-II with additional reactive armor, and mounted with a similar gun. I do hope these tanks will assist your struggle against the enemy tanks.

Farewell...

Now that the moment of truth was upon them, both carriers began launching aircraft like there was no tommorow, and most likely, there wouldn't be. The first wave to to take to the sky consisted of thirty F-18's and fifteen IEK-88's from one carrier, with twenty A-6 attackers and twenty F-22 stealth fighters from the other. The F-22's and IEK-88's engaged the unknown Kidlantian fighters and the VK-fighter/attackers. Meanwhile, the A-6 dropped torpedoes and fired ECM pods at the enemy ships, and strafed the flight deck of the Kidlantian carrier with their guns. The F-18's, taking on a multi-role mission, moved forward in the direction of the Ruskyet naval forces.

Aircraft Attack
Attack Type: Dogfight, Air Assault
Targets: Kidlantian naval vessels and ground forces
Weapons Used: Air-to-Air missiles (heat-seeking and infra-red), 20mm Gatling gun, Torpedoes, ECM pods

--------------- Maricedo Sea, Inyourfaceistani waters ----------------

Admiral Corbin Mendoza received word of his comrades and their anticipated suicide against the Kidlantian and Ruskyet Coltivici's, a blood-burned word only spoken against socialists in rare and hateful circumstances. He had just received approval to launch a task force into Ruskyet to assist their allies in the establishment of a two-state solution towards the oppressed Hayekian minority. His fleet had set sail, obviously metaphorically, as the iron-clad naval beasts of Topogaya slashed through the rough seas on their way to Ruskyet...

[Inyourfaceistan]

@Kidlantis, I will stop dissecting your posts when you stop posting egocentric troll-derps and start posting informed and strategic posts that make sense!

@Ryannistan, yah... I feel yah. I sent a task force for observation purposes and end up in the middle of the Battle of Midway x2 + Desert Storm + Normandy squared. Although if we aren't playing by actual NS stats, no harm in sending giant oversized armies to meet the standard...

@Everyone, its Inyourfaceistani.

[Ruskyet]

The Beach-head

At the last moment, General Antilov had ordered his troops to halt, and fall back away from the noxious gas that lingered there on the beach...they retreated to much more defensible ground not too far away...although roughly 25 men did fall dead before the orders to retreat were given.

They'd wait for the kenburgians to emerge from the blasted smoke, and then they'd give them hell for their mother country...this was their home that they were defending, and they'd damn sure die before they took even a single step backwards.

Meanwhile, in Capitalist Territory

The Republican guard, the elite fighting force of Ruskyet, continued its march through enemy held territory; they were to confiscate all weapons from the capitalists, and avoid too much damage to their settlements.

If they refused to hand over their weapons, they could then be court-martial-ed on the spot, and put to death...but luckily, so far none of the weapons raids had come down to that, aside from the one conducted on the first night of hostile operations.

Naval Victory seems assured...

The Ruskyetan fleet soon began closing...they fired yet more of their missiles, this time a myriad of Anti-Air for the oncoming enemy aircraft, and some further anti-ship combat missiles.

The fighters were having a tougher time, as flak missiles exploded on their sides...the flight leader saw one of his planes take a direct hit in the nose, detonating all of its ammunition and sending it sea-ward in an inferno.

He said a short prayer for the man, and then maneuvered his plane to engage oncoming F-18's, the other 20 planes in his fighter wing that were left following him.

Casualties of the VK's; roughly 23 of their planes have been downed so far in just the ship to ship combat.

OOC; And they're not oversized...my ground forces contain roughly 2.3 million soldiers, My navy only has roughly 35 ships left afloat, and my airforce has taken some pretty severe hits, considering that so far we've lost 47 VK's and we've only got around 100 deployed.

[Kengburg]

Naval Base, Kengburg
Explosions ensued after the semtex was detonated, destroying half of the facility in whole, the attack alarm sounded, it's droning siren alerting the valiant navymen of Kengburg to man positions. Ka-27 Anti-Submarine helicopters quickly took chase, launching multiple torpedoes into the water.

Casualties
-1 Sovremmeny Class Destroyer
-2 Karel Doorman Clas Frigate

Beachead

The Iron Dome Defense System located at the Artillery positions effectively and quickly destroyed the incoming missiles from the stealth fighters. Thirty Dassault Rafale Fighters now circled around the battlefield, prepared to defend against any enemy aircraft who attempt to pull the same stunt on the ground forces. Haldric notified Michelle of the need for reinforcements, and shortly after four hundred more T-84s and one thousand more BMP-3 IFVs heroicly arrived to assist the infantry. Kengburgian lines stood their ground with the reinforcements of armor

Skies over the Beachead
"Right over target in two mikes, you roger?"
The pilots under the leaders command acknowledged with "Yes sir, payload is ready!" soon, twenty bombers were traveling horizontally along the beach line, reaching enemy positions, ready to avenge the horrid gas attacks with a push of a button.

[Kidlantis]

OOC: 1.) How did the Iron Dome shoot all of them down, especially through the mustard gas?
2.) Where did the armor come from? Even if you have an explanation for where they came from, how did they arrive so quickly?

[Inyourfaceistan]

OOC: 1.) How did the Iron Dome shoot all them down
2.) Where did the armor come from

OOC:
1.) We totally need an OOC thread
2.) If I recall correctly he had a total of 800 tanks and 3,000 BMP?

[Ruskyet]

OOC; That was the point of your first post...that's supposed to be edited with changing numbers.

[Inyourfaceistan]

OOC; That was the point of your first post...that's supposed to be edited with changing numbers.

OOC: I am changing mine. I even took the liberty to slash instead of erase the original number so you know what my originals were, and what reinforcements are coming.

I also checked back to the post which he deployed the T-84's and BMP-3's down the beach and he only deployed 400 T-84 and 1,000 BMP-3s. So this is the other half of his MBTs and he still has another 1,000 BMPs in reserve.

And why don't we go ahead and make an OOC thread to keep the IC thread clear of chatter like this?

---Edit------

New OOC thread: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=231708

[Ruskyet]

OOC; Understood...i'll go make it now

[Kidlantis]

Waters off Ruskyet

The Hades could no longer stand the damage taken and began to sink. Sirens went off all over the ship, and the crew was ordered to abandon ship. The aircraft on it attempted to launch, about 20 were successful. When it finally sunk beneath the waves, 250 men were dead, and many aircraft sunk. 10 of the 20 aircraft that escaped the sinking of the Hades were shot down by Inyourfaceistani AA fire, but the remaining 10 committed to a brave strike against the remaining destroyers and frigates. The Kidlantian submarines, 5 of which have been destroyed, fought the Inyourfaceistani submarines making a last stand. On the K.N.S Poseidon, enemy aircraft movements were detected from the Inyourfaceistani carriers. About 40 Mig29s launched from the Poseidon, intercepting and engaging the enemy aircraft. The Kidlantian destroyers continued firing their guns at the carriers. Naval victory seemed near...

K.N.S Shadoplis

The K.N.S Shadoplis was a rarely-used battleship named after the Kidlantian city of Shadoplis. The outdated battleship had been recently upgraded, but was only used if absolutely necessary or if a ship was in range of its guns. It was near the beachhead itself, only there so that if the Vekstrumists (Extreme Capitalists in the Pazanian language) won, it could make a last stand against the enemy ships. This now appeared unnecessary. Admiral Staremodus, who commanded the ship, was in the radar room, talking to on of the radar men. "Still nothing?" "Yes, sir" replied the radar man. "We have nothing at all on the radar- wait a second. I'm picking up a surfaced submarine within range of the weapons." Staremodus then rushed to the command post and ordered the men at battle stations. Within 20 minutes, the ship was armed and ready to fire a salvo. "FIRE!" yelled a command officer, and all guns fired in an enormous burst of noise at the submarine. Staremodus then got a call on the radio. "Sir, we're picking up enemy bombers." Since the SAM stations were already manned, the enemy aircraft were fired upon immediately. 50 Mig29s from the K.N.S. Hera took off to intercept the bombers as well, but were in turn intercepted by Inyourfaceistani aircraft and a air battle was waged.

The Beachhead

Johstan had ordered his men to 'Don't take a step back until you die'. The remaining Mobile SAMs targeted the Kengburgian bombers. hoping to shoot them all down before they could drop bombs on them. The losses from the missiles, cannons, and the howitzer totaled 139 wounded and 75 dead. The HAT-1s, although the Kengburgian reinforcements had occured, still continued their strategy to great effect. Johstan also thought that the gas was fading a bit. Or was that just his imagination?

[Ruskyet]

At the beach-head, strategic position delta

"This is Ruskyetan General Antilov, contacting all kidlantian forces; you draw the kengburgians out to where we can attack, and we'll give them hell. I've got roughly 600000 men and close to 1000 tanks up here, and we intend to drive them in the sea. We've only got one shot at this counter however."

General antilov then tossed the radio down and shot it, an abrupt end to the communications, to throw off any kengburgians who may've been listening in...the handhelds weren't operated on a very well encrypted signal.

The very front of Antilovs small army now overlooked down onto the beach from the spot they'd maneuvered into...once they opened fire on any target broadside, that'd be all she wrote.

It'd be like the D-day operations...except this time the defenders would win.

The Kengburgian Naval Facility

The Jonzena submarine seemed to be in the clear...most of the torpedoes seemed to be just wooshing past as they made their escape; then, disaster struck...a torpedo struck, tearing a hole in her side.

Water rushed in to fill the compartment, sweeping away men and equipment with it...the last of the surviving crew barricaded themselves inside of the captains quarters, behind a turning lock door that would hold out the water.

The bad news was...that Jonzena sank to the shallow bottom, and all they could do was pray for rescue and that the oxygen would hold out...

The captain made a dire hail the kenburgians "Please...though we are enemies, find it in your hearts to save my men...you can leave me down here if you like, just save my brothers-in-arms."

Casualties from damage to the Jonzena...roughly 100 crew members dead, including 25 republican guardsmen. 25 still believed alive, but on limited oxygen reserves.

[Kengburg]

Over the Beachead
The bombers closed in on Kidlantian and Ruskyet positions as SAMs flared around them, destroying a decent portion of the force, it was too late though, even with fifteen bombers left, hell would still be let loose. The air commander descended to maximum affect level for the payload, various enemy troops firing their rifles in an attempt to stop them, but, alas, their fate was sealed. Thousands of pounds of Napalm B were dropped all across the beachline, drenching Kidlantian and Ruskyet forces in a cloak of liquid fire, hell on earth, nothing was safe. The screams of the afflicted could be heard, trying to get the sticky substance of their burning bodies.

At the Beachead
With the napalm littered all over Kidlantian and Ruskyet lines, Kengburgian troops watched in awe for a moment at a sizeable amount of their enemies roasting like a good turkey for Christmas. The sizzle or corpses could be heard, almost a more distinct sound than the screams of the soldiers, and of those trapped inside the tanks that were unlucky enough to get soaked by the Napalm rain. The mustard gas was uncombustable, so it lingered there while soldiers took off their gas masks soaked with napalm, only to be greeted by the cold embrace of death by the gas. Commander Haldric patted an officer on the back whilst putting on a pair of shades, and said "Now that son, is how Kengburg does war."

The Beach-head

The burning men rolled all over the ground in an effort to cure the burning...comrades who were untouched kicked sand over the ones who were afflicted by the monstrous fire, and even General Antilov himself took his cloak and used it to beat out the fire on more than one soldier.

But it was too little too late...roughly 20,000 men died in the entirety off this burning hellfire; 35,000 more were burned beyond being able to fight, and taken to the back of Ruskyetan lines for the best treatment that they could receive on such short notice.

General Antilov, after witnessing this horrific attack, picked up a rifle from one of the fallen men, cocked the action, and stepped up onto a tank; with an air of anger in his voice he asked "WHO WILL COME WITH ME, AND DRIVE THE COWARDS INTO THE SEA!?"

An entire, unifying cry of "OOOOOORAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" went up, monstrous and deafening over the screams of the dying...the sheer bass and human emotion of it seemed to shake the ground, as the soldiers strapped their gas-masks on tight, and with their tanks, began rushing towards the kengburgian infantry.

No matter how many shots were fired, they just threw themselves forward against them...no matter what threat they faced, they moved forward; The tanks unleashed a blistering salvo of high explosive anti-tank shells, raking machine gun fire, and their anti-infantry rockets.

The lines of infantry blasted away with their Galils...it was truly a marvelous sight, the way they persevered into the fire to avenge their fallen comrades.

Casualty Report (On the ground there); Roughly 20,000 immediately dead, 35,000 more severely wounded, 9 tanks knocked out of commission, and 5,000 more killed in the immediate advance.

At The Beach Head (In the sky)

VK-Fighters had been deployed, roughly 20 of them...half came in fast and low on the enemy infantry and vehicles, firing their 30mm Gatling cannons in precision strafes, and firing air-to ground missiles of varying assortment.

The others began engaging in air to air combat with any lingering aircraft of the kengburgians.

[Kengburg]

Air Fields (Next to Artillery Fields)
Michelle Bordeaux ordered thirty Eurocopter Tigers to mobilize in an attempt to sedate the advancing Ruskyets. The helicopters quickly launched and should arrive at the frontlines in twenty minutes.

At the Beachead (Commander's Position)
The Ruskyets advanced with so much courage and valor even Haldric was suprised, killing many Kengburgians in their charge. Even though they performed with much valor, they must be stopped. The recently dispatched marines approached Haldric "We are from the Inyourfaceistani Fleet, we were assigned by the admiral to follow your commands." Haldric looked over to them and said "Well, we have a bit of a problem on our hands, the Ruskyets are currently advancing up to our positions. If we could get a thirty thousand men on their flanks from the far sides of the beach, we could force them to halt the charge. I want two hundred fifty of you and thirty thousand of my best men, along with one hundred BMP-3s, thirty T-84s, and five of the incoming Eurocopters to assault their left flank, whilst the other half of you and another thirty thousand of my elites, with the same amount of armor, attack their right flank. This would create a "killing box" with the fourth side being the ocean. You musn't fail." The marines saluted as Haldric resumed to look at the bloody battle before him.

[The Conradines]

Verviet, the Conradines
"The Commonwealth of the Conradines takes its obligations very seriously, especially our agreements signed in the past to defend our allies. Your want of aggression leaves us no choice," spoke Johaan van Hemelrooy, Consul-Regnant of the Commonwealth. "The Conradinian Commonwealth is now at war with Kenburg and her allies until you surrender all aggression against Rusketians. There will be no compromise." The audience applauded as he left.

"Do you think what I did was right, Philipe?" Johaan said in private, after the speech. "I've sentenced our young ones to horrible fates." His assistant, Philipe, smiled as he brought the Consul-Regnant his afternoon tea. "War is never right, but our ideals are; and those will shine brighter than ever."

[Ruskyet]

The bloodied Beach-head

Antilov cried out "FORWARD MEN! FORWARD!" he raised his own rifle and fired a few rounds at some of the kengburgian infantry men who stood in his way...his infantry swelled all around him, and one man leapt up onto a tank that'd been hit, and unhooked the flag from his pack, attaching it to his gun and waving it around above the mass hysteria.

It was truly a magnificent sight...and it seemed for almost a second that the war had turned...too bad that General Antilov was unaware of the situation that now formed...soon he and his men would be encircled, and the fate of their country would be in dire straights...or would it?

The Militia who'd been holding back, licking their wounds, now marched again for the eastern flank...there were maybe 1500 of them still willing the fight, the rest having retreated to defend their family.

They had no idea what they were getting themselves into...none at all.

The skys over the beach-head

The flight leader blasted away with rockets and Gatling gun, bursting, and kicking up sand...he saw one of his planes stricken, and it fell into the ranks of enemy troops below, fire-balling before rolling to a stop.

[Kidlantis]

Johstan looked across the battlefield with fury. "Ruskyet, you won't win this battle alone." He then turned to his men. "DESTROY THE KENGBURGIANS! LEAVE NONE OF THEM ALIVE. CHAAAAAARGE!" The Kidlantian armor continued their battle with the enemy armor, while the Kidlantians, and by this time 40,000 were dead, 50,000 wounded, flanked the positions and charged with their machetes.

Kidlantis City

Field Marshall Stallworth had decided to send 200 IFVs toward Ruskyet. Also, he decided to give the Kengburgians another surprise. The Socialist Militia, or SM, was a group of the 100,000 highly-trained Kidlantians, part government and part socially owned, were secret. He decided to send 60,000 towards Ruskyet. Along with another surprise. Lysibian Sharks.

[Inyourfaceistan]

----------------- Waters off Ruskyet/Beachhead ------------------

Their future was bleak, and every crew member of every ship knew this. The entire fleet was going down, that was given. However, this did not mean the enemy would win either. Right now, thousands upon thousands of Kidlantian troops sat like chickens in a coop, trapped between the ocean and the wolves that were Kenburgian armor closing in. All the Inyourfaceistani naval vessels had to do was keep the farmer at bay long enough to let the wolves in and slaughter the chickens where they stand.

Any counter-measures that could be deployed were, although the main enemy at this moment hadn't seemed to fire any missiles. Those ships that could fired off more anti-tracking devices toward the on coming Ruskyetan missiles, and their patriot missiles did take care of most of the rest; however, as always a few slipped by, and slammed into the carrier "Los Vernalios" doing serious damage, and also causing one of the Sovremeny class destroyers to begin taking water. The Kidlantians seemed to be using naval guns, and these were effective in destroying an IC-98 missile frigate and finishing off the Sovremeny. But when it came to targeting the fast-moving Cordoba gunboats and the surfaced Esesti, the large guns would need extremely well aimed-shots to bust such small and mobile targets, especially considering if any shot flew to high it could blast apart the Kidlantians trapped on the beach.

Fleet Defense
Attacking Weapons: Killer-6 Cruise Missiles, Naval Guns, Torpedoes
Counter-Measures deployed: Anti-tracking devices, Patriot Missiles
Damage Report: 1 Nimitz class carrier destroyed, 2 Sovremeny destroyer destroyed, 2 IC-121 AA frigates destroyed, 1 IC-98 destroyed, 3 Type-60 combat sub destroyed

The remaining ships, many damaged and hurling smoke and sparks, prepared to retaliate. The last IC-98 missile frigate unleashed its final salvo of cruise missiles towards the beach head, flying up into the air, and straight downwards towards the Kidlantians muddled on the beach. Like loyal hound dogs the IC-121 "Garuda" AA frigates circled the carrier "Los Serpesi" continuing to fill the skies with missiles, minigun fire, and flak. They had taken some fleeting hits, but as long as they floated they would stand and fight. The Eseti recon sub had taken three very close calls, but used its size and speed to continue to zig-zag through the surf while firing its deck howitzer onto the enemy on the beach. The Cordoba gunboats were experiencing similar actions, and also made sharp and erratic Manuevers as they laid their autocannons into the crammed Kidlantian forces.
Now only one sub stood against the enemy, he turned away from the Kidlantian and Ruskyet subs, and fired his last torpedoes into the Kidlantian battleship, before accelerating full-speed behind the missiles, hoping to ram the behemoth...

Fleet Attack
Attack Type: General Combat
Targets: Kidlantian Fleet, Ruskyetan and Kidlantian aircraft, Kidlantian forces assaulting the beach
Weapons Used3 Cruise Missiles, Naval Guns, Torpedoes, AA Missiles, Flak, AA guns, submarine Kamakazae, deck howitzer, autocannons

Meanwhile, the last of the fighters were taking off from both carriers, when a shot from the guns of the Kidlantian battleship bust a hole in the side of the carrier "Los Vernalios", and it began to tread water. As the ship began to tilt starboard, an F-18 began to roll of the edge, and took several crew members into the ocean with it. A secondary explosion ruptured the flight deck and destroyed another seven F-18's and five Su-47 interceptors.

Those fighters that were airborn now began to mix it up with the VK-fighter/bombers closest to the beach. Several planes, most of them F-18's and a few IEK-88's, were destroyed by enemy missiles. Most the planes responded to the missiles with IR flares and chafe, while they dodged the enemy cannons with evasive maneuvers. However, the A-6 Intruders were vulnerable to enemy cannons, as well as anti-air fire from the ships and many did fall victim to these weapons.

Aircraft Defense
Attacking Weapons: Assorted Missiles, SAMs, 30mm cannon
Counter-Measures Deployed: IR flares, Chafe, Evasive Manuevers
Damage Report: 17 F-18 destroyed, 5 Su-47 destroyed, 11 IEK-88 destroyed, 9 A-6 destroyed

They pulled hard, and swung about, those planes previously unengaged jumping onto the tails of enemy planes attacking their comrades. The IEK-88 fighters unleashed a vicious quad-.50cal gun blast, similar to that on the British Spitfires of old, and took aim with various air-to-air missiles. Meanwhile F-18's took aim at the enemy with their own anti-air missiles and fired of bursts of their 20mm gatling guns. Now, F-22 stealth fighters and Su-47 interceptors were joining the fray, the F-22's using their reduced radar and heat signatures to ambush enemy jets and avoid missile locks, while the Su-47's flew out far, and then came back around with a vengeance as they engaged the enemy from long ranges.

Undetered by the enemy's counter-fire, the A-6 intruders continued their hallowed assault of the Kidlantian fleet. One carrier had gone down, and now they fired anti-ship missiles and torpedoes at its sister ship. Those fitted with bombs targeted the battleship, using smart bombs to guide onto the massive structure.

Although they were small in number, the Ka-52 Hokum attack helicopters did not plan on letting the battle go undisputed, as they flew toward the Kidlantian beachhead. Once they were above the massive bulk of cramped and huddled soldiers, they let loose with their twin 30mm cannon, and fired rocket pods into the dense concentration of troops. They also targeted the Kidlantian tanks with Hellfire anti-tank missiles, hoping to help the Kenburgian armor stop them where they stand.

----------------- Rebel-Friendly Territory ------------------

In the dead of night the V-7 transports landed on a small feild. A team of commandos went out to make contact with the local opposition fighter leadership, while another scouted for the infamous Ruskyetan Republican Gaurd. The medical aid staff carried the supplies to a nearby village, with the keen eyes of the "Neige Luno" commandos protecting them from the wood line.

Their plan was simple: To teach the capitalist freedom fighters how to hold their own against a more numerous and better equipped enemy.
It would not be easy, but it could be done. The "Neige Luno" commandos were the Inyourfaceistani equivalent of the American Green Berets. This is what they were trained to do, and they would carry out their mission or die trying...

[Ruskyet]

The beach-head, on the ground

The infantry recoiled from the blistering enemy fire that came from above, and straight on...but then they pushed back twice as hard, despite the casualties they took.

The man on the tank held the flag high, its red folds flapping in the wind, the golden markings shining on it; it seemed to grant the Ruskyetan infantry further strength.

General Antilov himself pulled a hand held radio from his belt, and ordered into it "Prepare to fire anti-aircraft missiles on our coordinates!" the reply came back "Sir, that'll cause friendly casualties!?" Antilov shook his head and yelled back "JUST DO IT! WE NEED A SALVO, NOW! AND LAUNCH ALL REMAINING VK FIGHTERS IN THE NAVAL ARSENAL!"

(Casualties; Roughly 5,000 dead in the wake of the rocket bombing, with 6,000 more from combat actions)

The skies over the beach-head

The fighting grew more intense, as massive 30 mm shells whirred all about, missiles flew past every which way...the skies were so hot, that three VK's fell just in the immediate after math, followed by 9 more in rapid succession...now there were only roughly 7 planes of ruskyet left in the air.

The flight leader was among them, and he cursed "DAMMIT! We're losing men up here!" as he took aim, squeezing his yokes trigger, unleashing a volley of blistering 30mm at an enemy aircraft.

Naval Battle

The Kalinagrad launched her last 10 missiles, and then began gearing up to go at it with her great 500mm guns...she still had some missiles on-board, but they were to be saved for dire straights.

Then...the unthinkable happened, an enemy aircraft that cruised in low and fast fired a torpedo, that blasted a hole in the ships hull, just above the water-line...and then she began rapidly taking on water.

The captain was jarred from his controls by this hit, and he cried "Dammit..." he turned to his second in command "Radio the Yuri...General Antilov has given orders to launch all remaining VK fighters in the area."

over on the yuri

Fighter pilots dashed all over the ships damaged deck, moving to their set spots...several dropped and took cover as a nearby destroyer was stricken with a missile, detonating the ammunition on-board and resulting in a massive fire-ball.

But they moved, and roughly 30 launched in this immediate attack...15 split off for the beach-head, the others to help the VK's currently attacking the enemy fleet.

Enemy fleet

Sacha cruised in low and fast in his VK, readying his torpedoes...he had the IC-98 frigate in his sight, and he intended to put it out of commission for good...he slammed his thumb down on the button, and then a loud beeping noise filled the cock-pit.

He cried out "Shit!" it was a jam...he'd never be able to fire on that ship, until it was resolved...and so he steeled himself, and jammed the throttle forward, speeding towards the enemy ship.

He held his cross in one hand as the hulking metal figure neared, and prayed for a safe journey to heaven...

Rebel Territory

A unit of guardsmen marched, their boots clamping rhythmically against the ground as they maintained unit formation...their guns slung to their shoulders, as they prepared to engage any and all hostile threats that made their presence known.

They wore http://www.militarynewsnetwork.com/maga ... ssianb.jpg these uniforms...the hat was worn in place of the helmet, until they were engaged in active combat, and they wore light body armor beneath the cloaks.

They maintained perfect discipline however...they were the elite of the elite here in Ruskyet; remorseless, skilled killers who wouldn't hesitate to take the suicide missions other units would pass up.

It took 5 years to properly train a ruskyetan guardsman...hence the reason they hadn't been deployed to immediate combat, due to the heavy casualties that would most likely be involved with that.
