Since we have an airbase now. Cong if it's ok I'll be sending another BCT to there along with an engineering battalion to help build shit back up.

You've got a fairly large force deployed (deploying) already. Maybe leave it for other nations.

[Ranoria]

K, if you can intercept them, you can try. Actually you should have the intel to make it more interesting.
But they'll be flying far enough away from your navies to keep from getting shottified down.

Mainly because while I doubt you would have the intel pre-launch, they're pretty easy to detect.
And time will be about 15 hours because of the roundabout route to avoid being shot down by Coalition Warships.

What you won't know though, until it arrives, is what it's carrying. You're in for a big surprise Coalition!
Also is it still the 9th or is it the 10th? It's been the 9th for too long now.

[Mizentia]

You can post stuff on the 10th as long as its not contingent on something else. We kinda have a big battle to RP man

It's not actually a battle until we start shooting back.

The Kevlinskian Subs used active radar to locate the fleet, so we should be able to find them pretty easily. Someone who didn't just lose most of their fleet, go and hunt down those subs.

[New Finnish Republic]

I'll post soon. Since I never got a clear answer, I'm having my cruise missiles hit the pursuing force and then my fleet will hunt down the subs.

[Senkaku]

Oi. Sen.

Can your missile defense system intercept supersonic cruise missiles, especially knowing the fact that you're defenses have kind of been scattered at this point?

I don't know what you mean by "scattered"- you've taken out a handful of mobile sites. And Qiraji missile defense systems can intercept supersonic weapons, although obviously not with 100% accuracy. I believe you fired two missiles to support your spec ops boys, correct? One can be shot down, the other can blow up a few Qiraji soldiers and vehicles (although since a fairly large force was sent after them it will by no means destroy said force, especially since they will have a few seconds warning at least).

I can do that, my destroyers/cruisers are damaged but can still move. I also have three submarines in the area.

[Senkaku]

Sen, would it be bad form for the Stormcry to nail your kilos? Or are they too close to the coast for my sub to be safely cruising?

They're probably too close, but even if they weren't I'd ask that you hold off.

Are there currently any oil freighters going in and out of Hale Isles?

[Mitheldalond]

Oh good, the servers are back. Now I can finally post about rescuing Gametopian and Ranorian survivors, shoot at some Soliryns, send cargo aircraft to help repair and resupply Kocahisar, tell the coalition fleet to move further from shore so I have more time to react to Soliryns, and possibly launch air strikes against Qiraibashi AFB. . . Tomorrow.

The Hale Isles lost the Fourth Primary Ship Fleet. . . Political relations between the Hale Isles and Congreveopia worsen.

So I hear you need some new ships, and are probably not looking to get them from Congreviopia. . .

I can fix that. In addition to those two outdated carrier groups I promised you, I have a design for a fast frigate based on my version of the Freedom-class LCS that is anything but outdated. It doesn't really fit my navy, but would probably be great for Hale; short range and limited endurance, but small[ish], fast, well armed, and cheap (and has the Aegis-light combat system).

And Mitheldalond really isn't tight on money (and is quite friendly toward Hale after the DEN-Secoritan war), so you can really set up whatever payment schedule works best for Hale. Seriously, they don't actually care when they get the money.

Yeah, but I get the sense that Cong and I have enough spies in Hale Isles that we could basically tear apart Hale Isles if it came to that.

Well, you'll have to go through me first. . . Or I'll have to go through you to retake Hale. Either way.

Hale is kind of the only real ally I've got, now that I think about it...

And also, not happening, because Cong and I have another RP planned already.

Oh good. Count me in.

If we're employing flying fortresses (which I would honestly rather we not do), I would like to request permission for Qiraj to have some sort of not-as-good-but-still-fuckin'-epic enormous fortress type thing.

I think that'll probably end up being a just Congreveopia thing. No one else has the dedication to create a legitimately realistic MT fortress.

Pretty much. Most of Mitheldalond's efforts have gone to making the best SAMs possible. And most of the rest of my effort has gone to making the best other kinds of missiles possible.

Saving Ranorians? They'll except it, but one time a division was captured (Azure War) and used for bargaining. A few guys made shivs, they passed them around slit their own wrists.
lol just kidding.

Qiraibashi's will intercept most of them at least I mean, if you're firing BrahMos II or DF-21D then we have a problem, but my defenses in Qiraibashi will take out most of any attack.'
@ URA keep forgetting to commend you for having Lucina on your flag.

Danke

Probably; Hale Isles drills for oil and natural gas and exports both. Even if it didn't, it's a major oceanic trade hub, so yes, there are likely several.

Both of those offers sound like they fit well with my current naval doctrine, so I will definitely take you up on that once this war is over.

That is audacious since my subs are very close to the Qiraji main fleet.

Qiraji's main fleet is like two destroyers and a handful of frigates, and I thought it was hiding near the coast anyways. If it's out in the open, then that's just more targets for us.

Senkaku, where is Qiraj's fleet? Has this been established?

[Democratic Peoples republic of Kelvinsi]

I thought I was firing near the littoral zone with them, if not I am fine with the subs firing at the open sea. Besides I think that 8 subs have a good chance of destroying the pursuing fleet.

I don't think UGM-84Ls have the range to hit our fleet from near the coast. We're 400 kilometers offshore, so your subs would probably need to be at least 250 kilometers out, and that's assuming they found the ideal position to shoot from (whereas your post suggests they attacked as soon as they spotted the fleet).

Ok I will adjust it to say they are 300 kilometers off shore. I will fire my spearfish torpedoes at the Finn fleet next post.

Hey guys, I'm back from my vacation + work over the summer. I'm working on an orbat right now just putting up a tagging post atm.

Aww. I was hoping some would be going in. Bummer.
Oh well. I WAS planning on putting some C4 on one, spilling burning oil all over the port. Mainly to drive up oil prices but oh well.
Ranoria mainly relies on frakking, but a region in Canada(which I happen to own IC)actually has pretty good oil fields.
I'm very much considering shipping in catapults and the heads of thousands of Ranorian Prisoners. So you're men are like WTF then the head explodes.
Anyways, 0300 hours of the 9th, I just need to last that long. Qiraibashi is fortified from beach assaults at least now.

Do that and I'll have to create a whole seperate RP thread declaring total war on you for war crimes against a friendly nation.

Total war on Ranoria?
THAT sir, is the most hilarious idea I've heard in months.
You could try.
You would fail, and miserably. I would let you bloody your nose on my literal wall before routing your battered military and taking any wealth your country has to offer, just before burning it to the ground. We do not tolerate conquests in our Homeland.
And if you didn't attack, ok, no problem then, lol.

There aren't going to be many going in filled with fuel. Maybe one or two a month for some of the weird types that aren't produced natively.

Anyways, you could try to do everything you've described (we'd need to talk about the feasibility of bombing a Halian port), but remember that the more brutal/evil Qiraj and its allies seem, the more supporting the civilian population of the coalition will be of the war effort. And unless Qiraj is planning on fighting the coalition all the way back to the streets of Congreveopolis, war-weariness among the population of the coalition nations will probably be your only way to win.

Well the plan was to demoralize your populace not only by showing that we can attack you if need be, but to drive up oil prices drastically due to threat of a repeated incident and therefore the need to examine every ship thoroughly, as well as just shutting down a port for a few days.
Now what I COULD do is highjack a cruise ship or something and hide a bunch of Hydra Launchers, Metal Storm Mortars, and Artillery guns on it while using the people on board as hostages.
Ranoria only brings honor into play when its own civilians are at risk. When others are, they could honestly care less.
