RP Example: Here is me playing as one of my puppets:

Abdullah el-Mujahid, Lion Squad, 3rd Commando, 1st Muhajirun
Regalio
0500 hours

"A rather peaceful morning," el-Mujahid thought from the driver's seat of their black pick-up truck, "if not for these circumstances." He looked in the rear-view mirror, seeing the other truck right behind. Indeed, the city was all to quiet.. Perhaps most of the populace fled for a more secure city, like the capital, or perhaps everyone decided to stay in.

"Alhamdulilah, less chance of civilian casualties, either way," he quietly said to himself. The relative peacefulness was broken only by el-Mujahid and Lion Squad, conspicuously driving down the road, one truck behind the other, with tinted windows and four civilian-dressed men in the back of each (a total of twelve men, counting the two men in the front of each truck).

El-Mujahid exchanged eye contact with his masked comrade, Abu Bakr el-Muhajir, in the passenger seat, reassuringly patting Abu Bakr on the shoulder. El-Mujahid adjusts his balaclava and mic.

"Listen up, Brothers. The Zerran regime's Regalio Military Command Center is three blocks north of here. Inshah'Allah, the attack shall begin in exactly two minutes," el-Mujahid announced, as the two truck pulled into a dark alley. "We have fourty-five seconds until we go."

The men in the back of the two-trucks, who would have previously passed off as civilians (as opposed to the men in the trucks' cabs, who were already suited up), stood up and pulled their cayote-tan tactical vests from the truck bed, and put them on. The men all donned their balaclavas and NV goggles, and finally loaded and checked their AKM's. All of the men sat back down in the truck.

El-Mujahid checked his watch. Exactly fourty five seconds had passed, one-minute and fifteen-seconds until the fight begins. The two trucks pulled out of the alley and began speeding towards the giant complex at the end of the road.

One Minute

El-Mujahid could hear the crackle of automatic gunfire coming from the complex, but not towards them. The guards have a much bigger problem.

"Bismillah," el-Mujahid whispered.

He heard the men in the back crying out "Allahu ackbar!"

Fourty-Five Seconds

The gunfire was becoming louder and more frequent. There was a large crash and a large dump-truck, covered in armor plates and filled to the brim with explosives smashed through the front-gate. The truck came to a stop, after hitting the front-wall of the building, briefly resting there, before... A massive explosion engulfed the front of the complex and the courtyard, sending a giant mushroom cloud into the air. The gunfire abruptly stopped, leaving near-complete silence. The street lights cut off.

"Night-vision on, Brothers," el-Mujahid said through his mic.

Fifteen Seconds

The silence persisted, aside from the roar of the trucks' engines. All of the men re-checked their AKM's and their side-arms.

Zero

The two-trucks sped through what used to be the front gate, stopping in the courtyard. All twelve men disembarked from the trucks, setting up a perimeter around the trucks.

Thirty seconds passed, with no enemy contact. The cry of injured hostiles could be heard in the direction of the mangled complex.

"Go!" el-Mujahid barked.

All twelve men moved on the building, walking through the hole where the front wall should have been. Next to the stairs, there is a burnt sign, reading "Commandant's Office," pointing up. They quickly ascended the stairs, bursting through the door. Nobody is there.

"To the Command Room!"

All twelve men rushed back down the stairs, and ran further into the complex, and down a set of spiral stairs, finally coming to a set of locked double doors.

"Do it."

El-Muhajhir set a charge on the door. El-Mujahid slapped his shoulder, telling him that they were ready. The charge blew, and Muhajhir threw a flash-bang through. Bang

The men filed through, opening fire on the three uniformed men, quickly dispatching them all.

El-Mujahid checked their bodies. "None of them are the Commandant. Alright, he may have been taken out in the blast. Clear the building, set the charges, ditch the gear. Regroup out front in three minutes.

El-Mujahid stood out front, scanning for any incoming, for the next three minutes, hearing the intermittent burst of gunfire from his men, putting down injured regime troops.

Three Minutes Pass

The men, all in civilian garb, descend into the sewers below, listening to the sirens above.

They waited for approximately fifteen minutes, below the complex. They knew that they wouldn't be found; the police and military are trying to save their remaining comrades, not yet on the man-hunt. The Mujahidun knew this, and used it to their advantage. El-Mujahid looked to el-Muhajir, nodding. El-Muhajir pulled the detonator from his pocket, smashing the button. Another violent explosion engulfed the complex, topside. This time, it is completely gone, along with the military and police response.

The Zenna regime's regional military efforts are, undoubtedly, severely hampered, due to the loss of the Regalio Military Command Center, though their losses are not fully understood, and it is unknown if the regional Commandant was killed.

This attack precipitates a large-scale siege, coming in the near-future...

Basically, fascist uprising in my country has exploded from a coup to a full blown civil war, prompting international intervention.

Accepted, and a socialist faction might make things a little more interesting, so in my next post I'll have that worked in as well.

Just to help everyone out, here's a map of Scandova, which I've color coded to show the progress/control of all 3 factions. It's a bit scrappy, as I'm no artist, but it works.

Can you get the SWC to start contesting for Syth? I think that's where I'll get my troops to attack first.

At the moment they don't have the ability to push for the entire island, especially at that distance, with the limited amount of men/transport they have. That said, I could make them push for New Allen, and your forces could make an amphibious landing attempt on the island with SWC approval.

Accepted, after just this question is answered: Scandova has a Communist Party already, in fact they hold 2 seats in our Senate. So, will you support the SWC in a Communist revolution, or is your interest simply protecting the Communist Party from destruction?

1.25 million soldiers, with a total population of 5 million, for intervention in an island nation's Civil War..? Denied for the time being, but I'll reconsider if realistic changes are made.
