8:00am Cairo, Egypt

It is a peaceful and quiet morning in the Great Pyramids, already the ancient structures are surrounded by tourists from all over the world and the occasional local who makes his way there every once in a while. But all of this is about to change. Two white colored vans rush from the road toward the Pyramids, they make a sudden stop and from the back doors of the vehicles, men with masks and assault rifles rush out. The tourists see the commotion and start backing away from the masked men, then suddenly, the men open fire upon the civilians killing the great majority who either ran or took cover behind the ancient structure. The assailants then stopped firing, from their vans they pull out rocket launchers and mortars. They set up and then open fire upon one of the pyramids, destroying most of its structure and creating large and loud explosions. At the same time, the Egyptian police and military had been alerted of the situation and they quickly rush toward the scene, only to find the ones responsible with slit throats. The men had committed suicide after the attack. The authorities were puzzled, the only evidence they could go on was on a mysterious drawing of a bull in the men's arms...

Message to the Egyptian government from Emperor Titus

Be warned heretics, I will give your people 6 days to surrender to our Empire or face ultimate annihilation of your lands.

[The Hambonian Islands]

About half of the hambonian forces have arrived, and are currently sheltering in roman cities. Armored cars, tanks, and soldiers moved through the streets of the cities to their D.Z.

Many citizens began to fight with the hambonian soldiers, saying "go home. We dont want war"! They were beaten down by the riot shields some of the troopers were carrying.

All hambonian troopers are on standby and waiting for roman orders.

(Ill just leave this here.. To add suspense to the buildup .. )

Blue Palace, Berlin Germany

It was a nice and quiet evening in the Palace grounds, Emperor William, as always, was enjoying a good book and sitting in his favorite chair in one of the many living rooms inside the Blue Palace. But, all of this peace was interrupted by one of the palace couriers, who came rushing inside the room. "Your majesty, I have an important missive to give you." said the young courier. Without removing his gaze from his book, the king simply replied "Put it in the table over there" while saying this, he gestured toward a table to his left, made out of African Blackwood, like all of the furniture made out of wood in the palace. The courier stood there, he took a deep breath and then spoke. "Sir, it is urgent" The king removed his gaze from the book and looked at the courier with a menacing stare. "I said put it on the table" The courier responded nervously. "Sir, I was given strict orders to give you this letter to you personally" The king sighted and angrily took the letter from the couriers hands and read it. It took him no time to react, his eyes widened and he stood abruptly, he then looked at the courier. Then the king said. "Tell the Supreme Commander to send those Romans an ultimatum. Tell him ill send it myself.

4 hours later, the King sent the Roman Empire this ultimatum

You are to apologize for the attack made this morning in Cairo and you are also to ceice all military activities near that colony. You have 48 hours.

[The Hambonian Islands]

It is now confirmed that all assigned hambonian forces are now in rome. A total of 100,000 personnel, (not couting weapons or vehicles) are ready.

Steps are being taken at this moment to confront William, and hopefully bring a solution to the issues of this situation.

[Atmaera]

Since the attack on The Great Pyramids in Cairo, The Federal Intelligence Bureau had been working round the clock to link the terrorist attack to an orginization or nation. However they received their answer when Emperor Titus of the new Roman Empire made a threatening statement to the leaders of Egypt demanding their immediate surrender. With increasing tensions between The Empire of Constantinople and the surrounding nations it seemed as though war was coming over the horizon.

Farbanti, The Capitol building, Capitol T.V headquarters

" In other news Supreme Chancelor Stannis Baratheon will be addressing the nation and the world in this next segment. This follows the attacks on Cairo that claimed the lives of many tourist and damaged one of the known wonders of the world. So far the Federal Governement has been silent on this issue but we are about to bring you full coverage of the Chancellor's speech live, stay tuned"
As the screens of anyone who happened to be watching Capitol T.V at the time turned black, a short instrumental of the national anthem was played and the t.v displayed Stannis faced with the blended image of the Bannered Direhawk was displayed. After the image passed the cameras showed The Chancellor at his podium poised to speak

Address From The Supreme Chancellor of The Federal Republic of Atmaera

---

Citizens Of Atmaera, Esteemed members of the international community, I come before you today to speak of the injustices of the terrorist attack carried out in the nation of Egypt. Not only has the lives of innocent civilians been lost at the will of fanatical terrorist but one of the sights with the most historic significance in human history was desecrated. This destruction and carnage could only be orchestrated as a result of cowardice and malicious intent. Unfortunately this attack does not appear to be executed by some lunatic fringe group but looked to be the work of or at the very least endorsed by The Empire of Constantinople. Emperor Titus has demanded the immediate surrender of Egypt to the Empire recently, by doing this he reveals himself to be as the one who wreaks of cowardice. An attack on civilians is no show of power and prestige, attacking the defenseless is an act fit for the powerless and desperate. Now I say to Emperor Titus, Show some humility prove yourself worthy of the great Empire you strive to emulate an issue an immediate apology to Egypt and compensate the victims of this tragedy. To the members of the international community The Federal Republic of Atmaera, even though our there exists a great distance between us and the immediate crisis, we will do everything we can to protect our interest and the interest's of our allies make no mistake

We are the reborn form of the Roman Empire. We have already taken much territory here in the Middle East and India. We now aim to capture Romes original territory, this being composed of some African countries and European countries. Which we aim to capture and once again placed under our banners. But do not fear, your deaths will come quick and painless with the help of our many allies. Be warned, if you do not surrender, you will face the full wrath of the Roman Empire.

Also, we would like to announce that we will cede part of our land to the Islamic State Remnants (formerly ISIS/ISIL) They and many other will aid us in our fight.

(my capital is Berlin by the way, and you have a long way to go to get there)

The New Wondour military high command was set in war mode, and all troops across New Wondour were activated. Reserve troops were called to active service, totaling almost 14 million troops. The important cities of Rome and all countries north of Italy had been prepared for invasion. Meanwhile, the New Wondrian navy has sent a detachment including an aircraft carrier to intercept Hambonian forces across the Mediterranean. Also this sea is completely controlled by the New Wondrian navy. The sea is crawling with submarines, patrol boats among other defense mechanisms, including sea forts. Also, Berlin and the surrounding areas have been entirely fortified and the Emperor has been moved to his second home, the Buckingham Palace in London. Also the Parliament has been moved to London.

[The Underground Movement Union]

As soon as the Hambonian airforce traveled across the Mediterranean Sea, they are almost immediately confronted by the Unionian Airforce and Navy, who had already been traveling across the Atlantic to the Mediterranean Sea already. Anti Air missiles would simply lock onto the Bombers and C17's meanwhile the Unionian Fighters would intercept the SU-50's. Unionian fighters would fire EMP's at enemy aircrafts before hitting them with missiles and 20mm rounds. They use Decoy Flares to avoid getting hit by enemy missiles. Unionian anti air coming from the ships as well would launch EMP's and Missiles at the Aircrafts.


The HDU is now on full alert. They begin conscripting criminals, calling upon their reserves. Unionian Militias contribute by helping the National Guard in protecting the borders and the insides. Unemployed citizens are given new job opportunities in the military and in wartime production.

(Oh yeah.. I forgot.)

(Btw, our flight protocol is to fly very high, so only fighters can shoot us down).

The intel was false, the capital of wondour was farther inland in germany. the updated orders were to immediately drop over sicily, and prepare for battle

Then the union attacked, missiles hit a few of the hambonian aircrafts. Four C17's, and seven bombers were lost over sea.





Fourtunatly they escaped the unions arc of fire, but many of the C17's were damaged, the hambonians would have to drop over sicily, and set up an outpost. The C17's would have to make an emergency landing Near the northern part of italy.

[The Underground Movement Union]

Now with the short skirmish over the Mediterranean over, the HDU navy requests permission to land their troops on Northern Africa and Europe so they may set up outposts and plan. The HDU furthermore sends three more fleets over to reinforce New Wondour defense and offense.

Due to the massive military build up, the HDU military has reached 14.3 million members excluding Militias who have sworn to fight along side the National Guard and Coast Guard. The HDU furthermore has hired Mercenaries to help the Unionians and New Wondour fight the Romans and their allies.

(Ok, lets get something straight here, how are you able to capture cities without fighting against my defenses and the militias. And how were you able to even get into my inner airspace without fighting against my defenses. And how the hell do you find an "isolated" airport? This is godmodding and its against the rules, so i suggest you edit your post and start doing things realistically, please)

City of Dahab, Egypt/Israel border

An attacking force of 78,000 legionaires, 100 tanks, 45 artillery pieces cross the border from Israel into Egypt. The force is accompanied by 800 ISIS fighters. The attacking force has laid a siege engine after crossing the border and have started bombarding the city of Dahab. Also, Roman fighter jets have deployed from nearby airfields and have bombarded the cities of Al-Ghardaka, Marsa Alam, Berenice and Aswan. This force is being led by Legatus Tiberius Vulcatius Siricus and Centurion Placus Sittius Carbo.

The wondourian militia was persistent.. If one was killed, another would take his place.. Like they came out of nowhere.. It was revealed that some militants were hiding in small, barely visible trenches..

The hambonians had lost some men.. But still held strong.. The battle for sicily is still being fought..

The hambonians had lost some men.. But still held strong.. The battle for sicily is still being fought..

During the battle of Sicily, Unionian bombers would strike Hambonian positions. After the air strikes, thousands of Unionian Paratroopers would come down from the sky, encircling enemy positions. Unionian Fighters would join the fun by keeping the Hambonian airforce grounded. Unionian attack helicopters would drop off squads of soldiers, while also striking enemy positions with their missiles. Later, Unionian tanks and armored fighting vehicles would join in and help mow down Hambonian soldiers. 60 tanks, 90 Armored Fighting Vehicles, 10 SPG's, and 10,000 infantry would be involved in the battle of Sicily, along with numerous aircrafts.

In Iberia, Tens of thousands of Unionian soldiers lands in Iberia so they may safely cross through Europe and get to the Balkans so they may plan an offensive on the Romans through that location.

[The Hambonian Islands]

The hambonian infantrymen fell back to an old trench system.. And held position there.. About 22 SU-50's made it into the air to fight back the union air forces.. They would shoot down helicopters.. And pursue bombers.

A few Hambonian tanks that survived the initial attacks were brought into action.. These "Sabre" tank destroyers could easily destroy any armor.. But had to be protected.. For they lacked a turret.

Machine gunners stood in the trenches, while "phalanx" units held their ground with massive shields, and repelled bullets coming their way.

About 4900 men remain in sicily.. A reinforcement of 1000 more will be arriving from turkey in two days.

Meanwhile.. The hambonians south of the Mediterranean have secured part of saudi arabian coast. The hambonian 9th fleet will dock there.

The Sabre tanks were instantly met with bombardment from Unionian tanks and Infantry carrying launchers, and even by bombers, fighters, attack helicopters, and by artillery. The bombers were capable of defending themselves from the Hambonian fighters, they were shot at by a variety of guns. Unionian fighters would greatly outgun and outnumber the SU-50's, and would be more than capable enough to fight back against the fighters targeting other Unionian helicopters and bombers and even finish off the remaining 22. To counter the enemy trenches, they simply airstriked it with napalm, bombarded it with SPG fire, and threw grenades in there. To counter the phalanx's shields, they threw grenades and molotov's at them, airstriked their positions, and used armor piercing rounds to at least harm the phalanx's. The Unionian numbers could very easily overwhelm the Hambonians.
