Joint briefing prior to operation start, Day 0:
“Welcome to Ilha Oitava! I would like to open with my heartiest thanks and congratulations to Cee-Ree, the Congreveopian Experimental Robotic Engineering Corps for their work preparing this island for our engagement. In just under one year, these gentlemen and ladies have turned one hundred thousand acres of uninhabited island into enough roads and houses to mimic a population of fifty thousand. Exemplary work.
Now, if you will allow me to set the stage for our little engagement: REDFOR, Oitava is critical to crossing this ocean. As long as Blufor has over the horizon radar and an airbase here, your heavy transports can go no further. It is of the utmost importance that you eliminate BLUEFOR’s ability to use this island as a base for control of the surrounding ocean, or your entire offensive will grind to a halt. BLUEFOR, this island is your chance to stop REDFOR before they reach your homelands. You must dig in here and entrench at all costs, or enemy troops may soon be landing on your beaches back home.
After one week has elapsed, if the outcome remains in doubt, both sides will be reinforced. After two weeks, if the island remains contested, BLUEFOR will be declared the winner for having bought their nations time to regroup while REDFOR’s offensive was halted.
Your weapons and vehicles have been modified with Congreveopian laser battlegame systems. I am assured that they are very reliable. If they malfunction, talk to one of the Congreveopians. They will be acting as the game moderators for this battle. More detailed instruction manuals will be passed out later, but here’s the basic overview. Shoot your weapon normally. It will not fire, but you will still be doing damage. If damage is done to you past a ‘critical threshold,’ which I am told is the equivalent of two unarmored shots to the torso, you are dead and your gun will tell you that by lighting up white. If you are killed by something bigger than a bullet, say a tank shoots the building you are in, it may light up red. Move away from where you died until it turns white. Cee-Ree has placed charges in over half the buildings here, and they will be simulating realistic damage from explosive weaponry as soon as everyone is out of the blast area.
One final note: the tropical depression Mitchel is in the area, and we’re not quite sure where it’s going, but we are not going to cancel the exercise based on current projections. You might see some heavy rain from the second day onwards, though. Now, good luck everyone. Do your nations proud.”
Rules:
- Ye shall obey me.
- Don't godmod, metagame, etc.
- If you think someone is breaking this rule, tell them or me politely on the OOC, and we can probably sort it out calmly. Never attribute to malice what was probably just a misreading of a post.
- Don't break site rules.
- Don't write one liners unless you absolutely need to.
Maps:
Ilha Oitava is based on (i.e. a complete clone of) Terceira Island in the real world. I’ll try to figure out where the troops all are just as soon as I know what the troops all are.
Roles:
- Primary REDFOR (Fleet) [Die erworbenen Namen]: One carrier, plus a few smaller escort vessels. This role needs to secure the sea and bombard the island.
- Secondary REDFOR (Land) [Exantos]: Some form of amphibious attack craft and a couple thousand soldiers. Get ready to storm the beaches.
- Tertiary REDFOR (Special) [Western Imperial Union]: Submarine, spec ops, stealth bombers, space gun, etc. This support role seems to like ‘s’s, and is REDFOR’s secret ace up their sleeve.
- Extra REDFOR (Anything) [UNCLAIMED]: If there are other people who want to participate, go ahead and give me a suggestion for what you'd want to use in this role, and I'll see if it fits. Try to be around the size that would be commanded by a rank comparable to lieutenant colonel.
- Primary BLUEFOR (Land) [Hale Isles]: Dig in and defend, boys.
- Secondary BLUEFOR (Air) [The Unified Isles]: That airfield in the northeast is a valuable asset. A couple squadrons of friendly aviation assets should make use of it.
- Tertiary BLUEFOR (Sea) [Llamaopia]: One or two ships are woefully outgunned compared to the enemy fleet, but they’re better than nothing. Hopefully.
- Extra BLUEFOR (Anything) [UNCLAIMED]: If there are other people who want to participate, go ahead and give me a suggestion for what you'd want to use in this role, and I'll see if it fits. Try to be around the size that would be commanded by a rank comparable to lieutenant colonel.
- Also, if these slots are all taken, you are still welcome to deploy a small group of neutral observers if you want a presence in the IC. Please do app for them and their assets first, though.

Wasn't really aware that DEN was going to get an entire Carrier out their. I'll probably expand the entire thing to a full-fledged Naval Tactical Group which would also come with AWACS, Refuelling and shidd.
