1870-1920 Era War: A Twist (IC)

[The Traansval]

Island of Solitude
The Bay of Hafingar
Tamir Continent

Kolonel Gaadaafi stood on the ramparts of Solitudes Walls. Many weeks ago, he and his Vloot-Voetvolk Soldiers had arrived here on the un claimed island to establish a colony and trade post. Since then, the colonists have built a prosperous little town. The large woods of the island gave the colonists a near endless supply of Wood, and they also provided another valuable resource.

Furs.

The Islands woods were inhabited many species of Foxes, Rabbits, Beavers, Deer and Elk, Bears, and many other creatures. The Colonists, hunting with their bolt action rifles, were able to amass quite a bounty of Furs, which they shipped back to The Traansval in exchange for gold from the East Empire Company.

But, the true treasure of the Island came in its climate. It was not hot and barren like the Traansval was, it was mild and somewhat cool. This gave Governor Smith a perfect idea, that would lead to the greatness of the colony.

They would plant Tobacco. Already, the farmers of the colony began to plant the seeds of this Cash Crop in their fields. Within a few months, the plant would be ready to harvest and the colonists would be able to sell the crop to the East Empire Company.

So far, the colonists had made no contact with the Romans, who inhabited the majority of the Tamir Continent. They wished to trade with the mighty empire, but if need be the Vloot-Voetvolk soldiers were ready to fight...

The Romans had caught wind of the little foreign colony of Boers and, given the recent news of the Boer alliance with Manticore, the Roman military had sent a force to occupy the colony. A single legion, 6,706 officers and men, alongside Classis Pannonica's 42 steam and sail ships were sent to the island and landed in the Bay of Hafingar. The fleet remained in a blockade force while Legio XXIV marched to the walls and made camp. Legate Gaius Laelius demanded entry to the city and the surrender of the population.

Kolonel Gaadaafi and Governor Smith stood on the wood and stone ramparts of Solitude. A mile or so from the city, smoke could be seen rising from a encampment of Romans.
The Boers had hoped to establish Friendly or Neutral relations with the Romans, but it was obvious this would not happen.

The Boers were surrounded, the Romans had a smaller land force, but they had complete control of the River and the Bay.

Still, Boers are pig head people.

In response to the Romans, the Boers loaded a dead pig into makeshift catipult, and launched it at the Roman encampment.

On the pig, was a note stuck into it with a Krag Bayonet

Suck my Nuts!

[The Traansval]

Agent Hammond, a Agent of the NAD and personal assistant of Directeur Henry, looked to the two snooping Arengins

Agent Hammond: Я говорю на вашем языке вы знаете ...

The soldiers immediately stopped talking. They looked at Hammond and simply gave him a stare. Sergei the arrived and said.

"All well. You may proceed, apologies for the inconveniences." Sergei exited the ship and so did the soldier.

Arengin, Royal Palace

The rest of the Warglorian delegation arrived and soon attendants escorted them to the inside of the palace to get them to their seats. It was almost like a party, full of tabels of food and decoration of all nations that would attend. The Warglorians were brought to their tables and the waiters quickly began to take their orders for food.

The palace was bright with shinning lights and golden decorations. For a summit it was quite pleasant one might say. A guardsmen arrived to tell something to the Fuhrer himself.

"His majesty will be coming soon, he begs you apologies for his tardiness."

The Directeur rolled his eyes at the Arengin, then turned to the Manticoran Emperor

Directeur Henry: Right, sorry for the delay. We will now begin our flight to Pretoria

The Captain of the BAD-1 Falcon gave orders for his men to cut the ropes, and they began to ascend.

Legate Laelius roared with rage. "TORMENTA! Incendent civitatem hanc in terram!" He turned to his imaginifer, traditionally the soldier tasked with carrying and safeguarding the portrait of the Emperor who also doubled as the Legion's telegraph operator. "Miles signo classem. Ego vis ad ea nimia rubigo concident hic alienigena." The soldier nodded and tapped out the message. The Roman howitzers and field guns, some 90 in total, fired in unison with the naval broadsides. "Finiuntur eo minoris molimenti ea urbe non destruatur," declared Laelius. He turned to his tribunes and the camp prefect and said, "Sed hoc manifestissimum est. Imperium et exprobravit subvertetur!" He then turned to a messenger and said, "Et fecerunt accolae fode auxilia accerserent. Est et possibilitatem scopae Legionnaires meum nolo perdere." The message rider saluted and said, "Ita, domine," and rode off.

[The Imperial Warglorian Empire]

OOC: note, this is not Prince Nikolai in this post

Oswyn Palace
"Ah, do not worry I'm sure I can wait" Allen said. Allen then went over to Eichmann. "What does tardiness mean?" Allen asked. "I do believe it is a fancy way of saying masutrbation....." Eichmann said. "Cut it out Eichmann, you'll land us in trouble!" Aryan said, slapping Eichmann. "Nein mein Führer it meas a tendancy of being late." Aryan said. "Ah.....gut..., if he has any white things on his hand get me mein hand sanitizer." Allen said quickly

"So, Nikolai, how does it feel to return to your motherland?" Allen asked. "Not the best my Führer, not very much, gave up on this place long ago." Nikolai said. "Really?" Allen replied puzzled. "Da, my Führer, long ago I was claimed to be a psycho killer or something, so I fled to Wargloria."Nikolai said

The Captain of the BAD-1 Falcon gave orders for his men to cut the ropes, and they began to ascend.

"Damn these Arengin bastards," said Charles Martin, the Minister of Defense, "They wonder why we despise them."
Adrian silenced Martin with a wave of his hand and said, "Control yourself, Charles. They are bastards, yes, but they also have strong allies and starting another war when we are already fighting two is an act of supreme folly."

The message rider saluted and said, "Ita, domine," and rode off.

Artillery shells began to smash into the ramparts of the stone walls of Solitude.

Kolonel Gaadaafi: Shite! Looks like they didn't take the message well! Lets respond with a a little firepower of our own!

Along the city walls, Heavy Field Guns were wheeled into positon, and began firing at the Roman Camp. Heavy Howitzers were also placed behind the walls, firing in a high arc at the Roman Encampment.

Within Solitude Harbor, 5 Gunboats (OOC: Commercial Steamers equipped with Naval Cannons) sailed out to combat the Roman Vessels. Against a professional fleet, they didn't stand a chance, but they had a secret weapon.

A Single Nautilus Class Submersible. 7 Man crew, and had 1 single torpedo tube, but that was all it needed when it had stealth on its side.
The Submerisble, The BNS Seal, made its way beneath the surface, and once it spotted the hull of one of the Roman Battleships, it fired its torpedo.

The Torpedo ripped a whole through the hull, and exploded within, causing a whole the side of a jeep to appear in the hull of the ship.

Meanwhile, on land, the 20,000 Vloot-Voetvolk (Naval Infantry) men were either being placed on the walls, or assembling into Units within the city, in preparation for the upcoming battle with the Romans.

Kolonel Gaadaafi knew his men couldn't hold out alone, so he began to send out urgent telegrams.

From: Kolonel Gaadaai, Head of Colonial Troops, Solitude Island, Tamir Continent
To: Manticoran Command, Syday

This is Kolonel Gaadaafi, Head of Colonial Troops on the Boer Colony of Solitude Island. We have come under attack by Roman Troops and Ships, and request Assistance.

[The Traansval]

The Directeur rolled his eyes at the Arengin, then turned to the Manticoran Emperor

Directeur Henry: Right, sorry for the delay. We will now begin our flight to Pretoria

The Captain of the BAD-1 Falcon gave orders for his men to cut the ropes, and they began to ascend.

"Damn these Arengin bastards," said Charles Martin, the Minister of Defense, "They wonder why we despise them."
Adrian silenced Martin with a wave of his hand and said, "Control yourself, Charles. They are bastards, yes, but they also have strong allies and starting another war when we are already fighting two is an act of supreme folly."

Now with the ship in the air, and the small port town quickly fading in the distance, Directeur Henry turned to the Manticorans

Directeur Henry: Now gentlemen, if i could direct your attention here. This Turrent contains a Boer Invention, its called the Davis Gun, or a Recoiless Rifle. Simply put, we connected two guns back to back, with the backwards-facing gun loaded with lead balls and grease of the same weight as the shell in the other gun, acting as a counter. This allows the gun to fire a 12 Pound Artillery Shell, with virtually no recoil. This is perfect for use on Air ships. We also use these.

Henry picked up a slender green artillery shell, with the red band on its middle and a red tip.

Directeur Henry: We call them Match-Sticks. They use a mix of Tar, Petroleum, and a secret ingredient to create a substance which will burn for Hours at a time, and sticks to any surface it touches. This, once again, is perfect for us against enemy Aerial Ships. The substance can attach itself to the enemies balloon, and burn the balloon. The substance acts much like Grease does when on fire, water won't put it out, you'd need a special fire extinguishing substance to put it out. These also prove useful when aimed at a enemies deck, where the substance will stick to the deck like a splotch of black point, and burn there proving a obstacle for any who are on the deck.

From: Kolonel Gaadaai, Head of Colonial Troops, Solitude Island, Tamir Continent
To: Manticoran Command, Syday

This is Kolonel Gaadaafi, Head of Colonial Troops on the Boer Colony of Solitude Island. We have come under attack by Roman Troops and Ships, and request Assistance.

General Sir Godfrey looked at the telegram and swore loudly. Admiral Hughes and Admiral Rhodes looked at him and Hughes immediately asked, "Milord? What happened?" Godfrey practically punched Hughes as he thrust the telegram at him. "The fucking ROMANS have attacked the Boer colony on Solitude Island. WHICH, coincidentally, is practically in the middle of the Tamir Continent."
Hughes and Rhodes gawked at him and Rhodes even blustered, "We'd have to practically invade half the Roman Empire to safely make it there."
Godfrey nodded and said, "I'm well aware of that and, to make matters worse, we don't have the same forces we used to. Most of our armor has been sent to Afrikaan for that war with Eodor and most of our Motor Rifle units went with them. We're stuck with infantry and militia."
Hughes and Rhodes sat down and Rhodes buried his head in his hands. Hughes looked at the map of the region that was on the coffee table and said, "This may seem cold but I think we have to abandon them to their fate. We simply CAN'T afford to go to their aid. We don't have the manpower or the ships. I'm sorry but we simply can't do it." Rhodes barked, "ARE YOU MAD? We should abandon our allies? We need to go to their aid as much as possible!"
The two argued back in forth while Godfrey looked through his records, trying to determine what he could do. Hammer of the Gods was still present and he had received several more in recent months. Perhaps they could be put to good use by providing overhead fire support and resupply. But then there was the problem of time. Rome could provide more troops than he could and they could do it faster. "Milords, quiet. Admiral Hughes is right. We simply can't do it. By the time we get there, they will have fallen. It is unfeasible."

To: Kolonel Gaadaai
From: General Sir Godfrey

I deeply apologize, sir, but we will be unable to provide aid. We are simply too far away to render aid in a timely fashion.

Kolonel Gaadaafi looked at the telegram and swore. He expected the reply, the colony was in the middle of Tamir, its only access was the River which was completely controlled by Rome. Going into this, everyone knew that if the Romans attacked there would be no support. Looks like they'd just have to give it their best, and make the Romans pay in blood for Solitude.

Kolonel Gaadaafi: I WANT MATCHSTICKS IN THOSE HOWITZERS, BURN THE FUCKERS!

The howitzers began loading Matchstick Shells into the guns, and fired on the Romans, hitting them with splotches of hot burning tar-like petrol.

[Norcourt]

Drales, Alexandria Colony, Southern Peninsula

The colony was thriving, new colonists seemed to be coming every day, and military ships had just arrived, with more rifles, and a couple crates of new experimental machine guns. In the town hall, the elite and several military guests held a military meeting on the top of the building. Harker, Lord Ford, and Lord Lewis were invited to the hall, and were to discuss the contact with the natives.

"Ah, good day and welcome, all of you! Let's start this off with a toast, to our ever-so-great Lord Carth Alexander!" said loudly Mayor Kingsley, "I bring you all here to discuss our recent discovery of these weird specimens of human beings. Barbarians, I call them, eh Lieutenant Harker?" he asked

"Not quite sir, they are actually quite civilized, sophisticated, and sma-", "Enough Harker, Barbarians they are, and barbarians they stay. Anyways-"

Harker wasn't paying attention to anything the mayor said, he stared out the window, looking at what this former untouched land, had become. He thought of what had happened during his captivity, and how he had endured hell. Surprisingly, through all the torture, Harker still felt some sympathy, as he knew he was an invader, but his hatred stayed true..

SUDDENLY! a large BOOM! was heard outside, everyone stopped their talking and looked outside the window. "What in god's name was- THE BLOODY CHURCH IS BURNING!" The mayor said. Harker saw that it was large boulder that hit the church, he looked across the treeline and saw a formation of soldiers, and catapults on the hill. "Everyone stay in here dammit, there's bloody natives near the hill!" Harker yelled. Quickly, he ran down the stairs, out of the building. To his surprise, he saw soldiers forming a square around the church, in awe of what had happened. "It's the gods! We have failed them!" One of the soldiers said, "No you bastard, there's Dralesians in the treeline! Get to your position men!" Harker said

Swiftly, the soldiers began running to the ditches and trenches they had earlier setup. Each ditch, had a line of men inside, with several Maxim Guns covering the flanks and the front. The Dralesians started charging, they were around a mile away, maybe a little bit lower. They had swordsmen, and Arqubusiers, different than what Company A had seen. "Keegan, get me one of those Experimental machine guns you were talking about earlier!" Harker ordered, "Are you sure sir? Those things still have a few more years to be developed!" Keegan said, "Just get me one!" Harker yelled

"Alright lads, form line!" yelled Lord Ford, "At 1200 yards, fire at will!" he said. Harker had just been given one of the experimental Vergaus Light Machine Guns. It's name didn't fit the gun, however, as it was heavy as a pudgy first grader. The Dralesians had begun firing Flaming Arrows, it didn't do much, however it frightened many Norcourtians soldiers, though they kept steady in line. Finally, they were close enough, "FIRE AT WILL!" yelled Lord Ford. The sound of rifles filled the air, as the smell of gunpowder did as well. Harker hipfired the machine gun, keeping his grip steady, and on target. The Dralesians had arrived at the ditch, spread up into small units, charging at different places. The bayonets did little against the armor of the Dralesians, so Ford commanded his troops to fall back to the 2nd ditch. While doing so, Harker gave fire with the machine gun, killing many, yet there was still a lot of them.

"Get those Mortars ready!" said Captain Cambria, right before he had got shot by an enemy arrow. Quickly, the men adjusted their coordinates, and began firing the mortarsm hitting the enemy archers and causing much concern to the enemy. The riflemen tried their best to pick off the remaining platoon of Charging Dralesians, which they did with the help of machine gun.

The ground lay bloodied, and the stench of corpses made many throw up. In front of the Norcourtians, lye the bodies of their own, and of the Dralesians. The remaining Norcourtian soldiers stand, in awe, of how fast it all happened...

Casualties: Norcourtians - 46 Dead 72 Wounded , Dralesians, 621 Dead 83 Wounded

[Cesopium]

Isle of Manchester

It was a cold morning, Declan thought to himself as it was nearly 7 in the morning he had stolen a coat off a dead officer of the Acliusian forces who had attacked a few days ago and whose corpse had simply been left there to be recovered after the battle had concluded. He sat against a ditch looking down the ditch, spotting the rest of his comrades of the company as he had time to relax. Thinking about what was to come as the battle drew on. "The Battle of Manchester" they were calling it in the papers, he wondered if he himself had survived.

He thought this to himself, pondering quietly as he slowly stared down to the body of a dead Arengian Soldier, whose lower jaw had been blown off from from rifle fire. His redcoat was ragged he thought to himself, as he discovered that in the age of modern and accurate weaponry, their own uniforms were just gonna make them easy targets. Although his Captain had told him that they would be getting more modern uniforms for combat soon enough, which were to be given out to them as soon as they returned to the camp.

Fire had continued throughout the night, having zeroed in positions of the enemy infantry and armored vehicles, artillery and machine guns exchanged fire with the enemy assuring that no man would sleep. Accompanying this was the orchestra of the moaning and groaning of the wounded on the fields. Medical personnel had made efforts to recover the injured and lost, but it was difficult to do so in the open ground.

Along the island, as Arengian and Aclusian forces pushed inward and inward, cutting themselves off from supplies as they were hampered and assaulted by guerilla forces of the Bronze Isles.Most unfamiliar with the roads and layout of the Isle had gotten lost, in one case even an entire battalion making them easy prey for the Bronzeborn who viciously fired on them from all sides, which upon finishing, would steal all their weaponry and leave their bodies for the vultures.

The Bronzeborn forces were pushing the belligerent forces back onto the beaches which they had arrived upon, but in open combat, the forces of the Bronzeborn were taking losses as well with the 34th and 25th Infantry Regiments being pushed down to minimal fighting strength, and other regiments suffering their own terrible wounds.

Acquiring some functional copies and ruins of Armored Car pieces, they were sent back to the Isle of London to Orkmont for military engineers to study, who reverse engineered these weapons and sent them to the plants to make their own variants on the matter.

Isle of Liverpool

Sgt.Gardner had been ordered to stay behind in the settlement he and his platoon had sacked earlier, his battalion Captain marched onward to make contact with the other regiments who engaged in guerilla warfare, taking supplies and weaponry from the forces attempting to seize the Isle.

He had put his men to work scouting out the area, making contacts with local gangs whom he invited, which he promised he would give them money and wealth from beyond their dreams. This gang, a group of around 30 local Twelve Isles men, known as the "Gunpowder Gang", were all members in the remaining Loyalist forces of the Twelve Isles, whose camp had turned out to be nearby and his soldiers had found them hanging around at a local pub in a nearby town.

He made the deal with the "Gunpowder Gang", who he wished for them to assassinate the current leader of the Twelve Isles resistance forces in return for the said riches, he showed them a crate of the wealth he would give them once they completed the task, nearly $500,000 coins(This was infact from the colonel of the Regiment he had been in, whom a affluent noblemen had been killed at the start of the invasion and the other Captains had no idea what to do with it so they devised this plan)

The men looked in awe at the potential riches, and agreed almost instantly. Sending them back to the camp, they gathered up, approaching the tent of the general, "Lt. Adam Younger", holding their rifles with bayonets attached, they would strike at night while all were asleep.

Upon leaving, a dispatch rider who rode in on a horse a minor noble, came in and informed Sgt that a transport fleet had arrived in the north, 30,000 more soldiers, 15 Regiments had come to aid them in defending the Isle of Liverpool and were now marching onwards, some staying behind to unload supplies.

He had put his men to work scouting out the area, making contacts with local gangs whom he invited, which he promised he would give them money and wealth from beyond their dreams. This gang, a group of around 30 local Twelve Isles men, known as the "Gunpowder Gang", were all members in the remaining Loyalist forces of the Twelve Isles, whose camp had turned out to be nearby and his soldiers had found them hanging around at a local pub in a nearby town.

He made the deal with the "Gunpowder Gang", who he wished for them to assassinate the current leader of the Twelve Isles resistance forces in return for the said riches, he showed them a crate of the wealth he would give them once they completed the task, nearly $500,000 coins(This was infact from the colonel of the Regiment he had been in, whom a affluent noblemen had been killed at the start of the invasion and the other Captains had no idea what to do with it so they devised this plan)

The men looked in awe at the potential riches, and agreed almost instantly. Sending them back to the camp, they gathered up, approaching the tent of the general, "Lt. Adam Younger", holding their rifles with bayonets attached, they would strike at night while all were asleep.

Upon leaving, a dispatch rider who rode in on a horse a minor noble, came in and informed Sgt that a transport fleet had arrived in the north, 30,000 more soldiers, 15 Regiments had come to aid them in defending the Isle of Liverpool and were now marching onwards, some staying behind to unload supplies.

The Manticorans had arrived but sent their ground forces to Transvaal to rest up and resupply while the fleet divided into five divisions. Four divisions would be headed by a single dreadnought and one airship apiece and sail for the islands of England, Bristol, Jersey, and Wales while the fifth division, with two dreadnoughts and the remaining two airships, remained with the ground forces. The bombardment divisions began to attack coastal areas of England, Bristol, Jersey, and Wales, softening them up for the inevitable ground invasion, which would likely involve island hopping, putting the full force of the Expedition against one island at a time. Overhead, the airships helped direct the fire of the big guns, improving the accuracy and damage done to Bronze Isles installations. In the meantime, the ground forces and a large portion of the fleet would remain in the Transvaal, awaiting the go ahead from the rest of the Coalition to begin the campaign.

Eichmann said. "Cut it out Eichmann, you'll land us in trouble!" Aryan said, slapping Eichmann. "Nein mein Führer it meas a tendancy of being late." Aryan said. "Ah.....gut..., if he has any white things on his hand get me mein hand sanitizer." Allen said quickly

"So, Nikolai, how does it feel to return to your motherland?" Allen asked. "Not the best my Führer, not very much, gave up on this place long ago." Nikolai said. "Really?" Allen replied puzzled. "Da, my Führer, long ago I was claimed to be a psycho killer or something, so I fled to Wargloria."Nikolai said

Isle Of Manchester
Aclusian High Seas Fleet
December 12, 1892

The fighting was vicious, the NCSU battle fleet and the ships sent by the Bronze isles against the outnumbered High seas fleet. But even being outnumbered, the heavy guns of the Dreadnoughts, mainly the Empire class Dreadnoughts bashed through the smaller Bronze isle ships. The ANF Prince of Light, opened it's 410mm Heavy turrets unto 2 NCSU cruisers, clearing a path for the supply transports to get through to the troops on the isles. Thanks to the newly arrived Manticorans, more opening were being created for supplies and troops.

When the transports docked, Grizzly Heavy tanks and Cruiser Medium tanks began to disembark and open fire unto the Bronze isle forces pinning the infantry down. When the main force advanced further, pushing the Bronze forces back. Artillery units set themselves up and began giving the Allied forces support further inland.
With guerilla fighting occurring, flame troops were called in to burn down buildings and trees, these units were assisted with Stormtroopers and armored support. This went on through the other 3 isles.

Newly promoted Lieutenant Adam Younger was staring at his map with other officers inside his command tent, there were 4 guards outside and inside the tent. When a group of hired gang members armed to with rifles and knives started nearing the tent, the guards grew curious. one tried to hail to them but was quickly gunned down. the other 3 opened fire with their revolvers. The other 4 guards came out and opened fire as well. The firefight went on for a couple minutes, 4 guards down and a couple gang members dead. Aclusian troops and chased the others away. Those who survived were mowed down by the Armored car patrols.

[The Manticoran Empire]

Isle of Manchester

It was a cold morning, Declan thought to himself as it was nearly 7 in the morning he had stolen a coat off a dead officer of the Acliusian forces who had attacked a few days ago and whose corpse had simply been left there to be recovered after the battle had concluded. He sat against a ditch looking down the ditch, spotting the rest of his comrades of the company as he had time to relax. Thinking about what was to come as the battle drew on. "The Battle of Manchester" they were calling it in the papers, he wondered if he himself had survived.

He thought this to himself, pondering quietly as he slowly stared down to the body of a dead Arengian Soldier, whose lower jaw had been blown off from from rifle fire. His redcoat was ragged he thought to himself, as he discovered that in the age of modern and accurate weaponry, their own uniforms were just gonna make them easy targets. Although his Captain had told him that they would be getting more modern uniforms for combat soon enough, which were to be given out to them as soon as they returned to the camp.

Fire had continued throughout the night, having zeroed in positions of the enemy infantry and armored vehicles, artillery and machine guns exchanged fire with the enemy assuring that no man would sleep. Accompanying this was the orchestra of the moaning and groaning of the wounded on the fields. Medical personnel had made efforts to recover the injured and lost, but it was difficult to do so in the open ground.

Along the island, as Arengian and Aclusian forces pushed inward and inward, cutting themselves off from supplies as they were hampered and assaulted by guerilla forces of the Bronze Isles.Most unfamiliar with the roads and layout of the Isle had gotten lost, in one case even an entire battalion making them easy prey for the Bronzeborn who viciously fired on them from all sides, which upon finishing, would steal all their weaponry and leave their bodies for the vultures.

The Bronzeborn forces were pushing the belligerent forces back onto the beaches which they had arrived upon, but in open combat, the forces of the Bronzeborn were taking losses as well with the 34th and 25th Infantry Regiments being pushed down to minimal fighting strength, and other regiments suffering their own terrible wounds.

Acquiring some functional copies and ruins of Armored Car pieces, they were sent back to the Isle of London to Orkmont for military engineers to study, who reverse engineered these weapons and sent them to the plants to make their own variants on the matter.

Sgt.Gardner had been ordered to stay behind in the settlement he and his platoon had sacked earlier, his battalion Captain marched onward to make contact with the other regiments who engaged in guerilla warfare, taking supplies and weaponry from the forces attempting to seize the Isle.

He had put his men to work scouting out the area, making contacts with local gangs whom he invited, which he promised he would give them money and wealth from beyond their dreams.

The Manticorans had arrived but sent their ground forces to Transvaal to rest up and resupply while the fleet divided into five divisions. Four divisions would be headed by a single dreadnought and one airship apiece and sail for the islands of England, Bristol, Jersey, and Wales while the fifth division, with two dreadnoughts and the remaining two airships, remained with the ground forces.

Overhead, the airships helped direct the fire of the big guns, improving the accuracy and damage done to Bronze Isles installations. In the meantime, the ground forces and a large portion of the fleet would remain in the Transvaal, awaiting the go ahead from the rest of the Coalition to begin the campaign.

The Third Fleet had their remaining two airships fly over Liverpool and Manchester, to get an idea of what was going on with the Bronze Isle forces. These airships were not disappointed. HMAS Heavenly Thunder was over Manchester and her guns rained hell upon Bronze Isle ships still present near the Island. HMAS Punishment was over Liverpool and shelled Bronze Isle ground troops with highly accurate cannon and machine gun fire. The results against Bronze Isle supply dumps was spectacular as high explosive and benzene shells turned the once semi-neat piles of food, medicine, ammunition, and weapons into funeral pyres for the quartermasters. And the best efforts of the Bronze Isle's to put out the fires would accomplish nothing. The fires would continue to burn and even spread, wreaking havoc on a force that was involved in very heavy fighting.

In the meantime, the Army, Marines, and Navy were working out their plan of attack for their first target, England. It was the biggest island, making it the most likely nerve center for Bronze Isle military operations. This also meant that it was likely heavily defended. They had some of the Para's zeppelins flying recon missions with cameras, taking pictures of literally everything and having cartographers map the island and compare it to official maps produced by the original Twelve Isle's Government. Being the center of everything related to the Bronze Isle's, the ground troops expected stiff resistance. They estimated that approximately 70,000 enemy soldiers were present on Liverpool, Manchester, and Plymouth, if reports from the Resistance were accurate. Additionally, they knew the enemy only had 120 surface ships and they estimated about 300,000 remaining ground troops. Of these they were certain that the majority of forces were in England, however not all. With 9 islands to defend, England probably only had a defense force of about 75,000 men present and, at least according to TTI loyalists, had little to know armored vehicles and relied more on guerilla fighting and shock tactics. To counter this, they would need to find the supply dumps that any army had and destroy them. With control of the Air and control of the Sea, they could do just that. Which left the problem of attack the island. The Marines would strike the narrow Western Peninsula, under cover of Naval gunfire. The First Marine Division, alongside the 1st Armored Car Brigade, would land at the southern tip of the Peninsula and advance north. The Second Division would land at the southeast coast, right at the narrow neck of the peninsula, with the Third Division landing across from them. All three landings would be timed to occur within an hour of each other and the Marines, with support from at least three Navy airships, would secure that peninsula and use it as a resupply base. Three days after the Marines had launched their attack, the Army would attack the Eastern Peninsula, landing in a narrow inverse "L" shaped area of the island, again under the cover of naval guns and three airships. Three hours before the Army would land, the Parachute Corps would land five kilometers inland, just outside of the range of the navy, before advancing towards the beach to mark targets for the guns and sabotage enemy positions. One hour before the Army would land, the Navy would begin their barrage and the Parachutists would attack enemy positions on the flanks to prevent them from reacting. The landings were planned to follow a simple order. I Corps would land in the North at Blue Beach, before pushing north and splitting into several smaller tentacles to secure a solid beachhead. II Corps would land in the East at Green Beach, before pushing east and swinging north and south to secure the beachhead. III Corps would land in the Center at Red Beach, before pushing northeast and sending units south and west to link up with I Corps and II Corps as well as the Paras. Once the beachhead was secured, the plan was for the forces to break out behind a massive armored spearhead after a truly devastating naval and air barrage. The Paras would remain at the beachhead for a few days to make keep the beach open while Naval Infantry would do the same for the Marines. At some point during the campaign, the Marines and the Army would link up and cooperate but, until then, they would secure the territory closest to them and then move on. The Manticoran Expeditionary Force Commander, Marshall Daniel Meade, sent a message to General Younger, the Commander of the Free Isles Army, requesting Free Isles troops to assist in the Marine's assault. Give them a little more firepower. He was hoping for at least one of the Shock Legions but would settle for whatever he could get.

Strength in Unity

Kwatimosho Base, Spite
Hotoyoshi Ozin, grandmaster of the Ozin temple, has come to Kwatimosho. He was speaking to Toko Yanab, yaidom of the traditionalists in Rannoria. After much talking, they have come to an agreement.

"...yes, yes. It's good to know that we can trust each other and that we have the same goals in your mind." Toko said, then sipped tea. He then continued. "And about the communists?"

"The communists?" Hotoyoshi said. "Rival them. Crush them. They do not see level with us. They bring industry, revolution, change, and the abolishment of religion. They go against our interests."

They both sipped their tea in silence, then Toko nodded. "Well then. We have the Marauders, and each other against the communists and the ruling republic."

"Three factions. One war."

"True. But now we must plan. The signal shall be given, and when so... you know what to do."

[Rannoria]

REVOLUTION!

Zee Prlmnt, Rannkradle
News had broke out that the traditionalists in Rannoria had revolted. They were around 70,000 strong, with an army mostly consisting of elite swordsmen and bowmen. Grand Tyron Gren had sent a small force relieved from the Eodorian border to swoop down, but as they did so, communists revolted as well. The communists had a force of 650,000 in total. Though not the best, they still had guns and numbers. The republican forces broke off into two armies. One that continued south, and another that fought on against the communists. Maestoso Mios Askwell issued under Supreme Rannoire Edict that the armies in Sylbania be recalled into home, and it would take them a while. The Great Trenches of God still held up, along with the Maxtopian border. But soon, another revolt started. Religious Batalurp monks had risen up around several provinces. Hordes of them. Well trained and in difficult terrain, it would be hard for the republic to attack them. No worry, though, the Rannorian army had more in numbers and was more modernized... but was that good? Finally, high ranking military officials had been found dead, picked off individually. Some tried to flee, but died on the way out. Others either made it out or continued their post.

The Traansval

December 12, 1891 (1892? What is the year!)

The BAD-1 Falcon slowly descended onto the lawn of the Republican Palace, the Lug Aviateurs connecting the ship to the mooring tower on the lawn.

A plank was sent out from the Airship onto the small Airship Boarding Platform, and Directeur Henry stepped off, following by the Manticoran Delegation and the Guards.

We are sending U-boat Group Three to the the aid of your colony that is being attacked by Rome. They are to wage unrestricted submarine warfare against Roman vessels. They are traveling underwater in the day time to avoid detection. In this way, we can secretly attack Rome. In turn this will cause chaos among the Roman forces.
