Stille Nacht: Crown's Burden [OOC][MT]

[Achesia]

I need to find something important to blow up, delay Phallia's troops in Shentong, possibly even divert troops from other areas to buy Atlish forces time to dig in.

Just please whatever you all do, hold on, I have not even been able to post a response to the invasion yet and ya'll are moving at too fast a speed.

Well I haven't figured out what I'm blowing up yet.

[Achesia]

Thats your port of entry.

Alright. I was thinking they would have set up in an Achesian base, though I figured I would check with you first. We could build our own base, but we would need a place to house our troops and supplies while that is done, and I dont think we would have enough time to do that since the war is happening as we speak.

On another note, anyone have any ideas on what I should do with my navy? Im writing a post now, and Im going to go through with an attack unless anyone has any other ideas of what they think I should do.

Haslet has a base thats why I'm saying move your troops in there.

You wouldnt really have a base in this type of conflict. A linear war is too fluid to set up something like a FOB or something. You would have assembly areas but those would move very rapidly.

[Murovanka]

OK, so for my strategy I was thinking of having SMOD assault up the Wein River to try and take pressure off of the Atlish forces in the mountains since I would threaten Phallian citys. Or, if need by I can have SMOD counter attack if the Phallians retake the Dundee Dam.

As for my paratroopers, I think Im going to use them to help the mountain divisions hold the mountais. Their already some of my more elite units, so they would be a formidable force, if small, and would be a good bolster to Atlish soldiers already there.

And Achesia, you already said where my soldiers were stationed at some point, but I forgot. I think if was Haslet.

Would you mind moving the SMOD to either the mountains or north at Diapur, where the main NP assault will take place? If they're at the Dam, Christo's battalion is landing there and at least at the start much of NPAF power will be directed to help them. The dam will later be blown up by Atlish-coalition aircraft, flooding the Wein valley, so neither side will advance there anymore. Like I said though, give Ach some time to respond first.

You can go ahead on setting up the blockade, but give Achesia some time to respond to the invasion. You could set it up the way I put it on the map or differently, and I'll change it accordingly. I'll say the islands aren't New Phallian to keep it simple. So like announce a blockade, RP the stopping of some oil tankers on their way to New Phallia, that will shock us, and Christo and I may move to try defeat the blockade.

I need to find something important to blow up, delay Phallia's troops in Shentong, possibly even divert troops from other areas to buy Atlish forces time to dig in.

Bridges? Remember if its just 4 troops, you won't realistically have such a massive impact. Already destroying supply convoys is a lot, and there's only so much explosives your troops can carry (unless they're being resupplied by air, which is fine, if your pilots are good enough they won't be detected).

Well I'm also working with the SLA.

I'm putting up another IC post soon, so I'm wondering where I should station my aircraft as well as my Special Ops unit. I'll just station the latter to my own digression, but my aircraft need to be based somewhere.

So, either way, the dam will fall, right?

Not sure if bombers are necessary.

Yeah you can post them arriving, but don't start shooting yet until Achesia posts. Kohlor for the aircraft I presume? It may or may not be targeted by NP forces because of its airbase too though the 1st and 6th Divisions may get overstretched.

I'll add your orbat to the op.

Ok so I am trying to begin my post but there is a ton of things going on in your post. Lol what do I respond to?

I'll base my most aircraft in Kohlor, but can I spread a portion of them across western Atla? Ideally in Dee City and Yamam.

Do you think we'll need bombers?

[Murovanka]

Could you respond to the airborne landings at Guidou and Foolnot?

[Noveos]

Could you respond to the airborne landings at Guidou and Foolnot?

Sure. A post for that will have to wait a little, tho. Just a little

[Achesia]

Could you respond to the airborne landings at Guidou and Foolnot?

Me or Noveos? Im trying to make heads or tales of what to reply to.

Same

[Murovanka]

Achesia. Sorry, I don't like quoting long posts. I assume we'll take foolnot, but Atlish hold Guidou?

Also we were pretty clear atlish have to respond first to the war and hostilities are well underway by the time allies arrive.

Ok so I'm assaulting the airborne forces and not Noveros?

[Murovanka]

Affirmative Ach, you're getting the first reply into the battle before allied forces land.

[Achesia]

Post to come tonight everybody, sorry for the delay.

[The Manticoran Empire]

Post to come tonight everybody, sorry for the delay.

No problem.

[Achesia]

Post up

[The Manticoran Empire]

My next action will be tomorrow, possibly a coordinated attack with SLA forces and some more political condemnation of the war.

[Christoslavia]

Ill wait for Muro to give me the go ahead for the dam and Im gonna wait for Twelve to make the first move about the naval schtuff

[The Twelve Isles]

Hey, so Im working on my post now. Im gonna have my navy go and blockade New Phallia, and have my planes, artillery and airborne help hold the line until there is a clear front that SMOD can attack and try and break.

As for my planes airborne and artillery, where do you think they should be used Achesia. Also, should I have SMOD help with refugees in Haslet, or just ignore them.

Alright, that'll delay our advance.

I'm happy for the Dam operation (codename Medusa) to go ahead now, but Achesia, did you have that in mind for it happening later? In which case you can perhaps bring in reinforcements- that could be the spark of a naval battle when ships carrying your troops are intercepted by Twelve's ships.

Where will the SMOD be heading to? Just please keep them away from the Wein valley front, the Atlish there will be pushed back hard- so that we can get our splash later

@Achesia
For my next post, to move on:
- attack on Guidou will fail
- attack on Foolnot will succeed with heavy casualties
- NP pushes into Central and Tshinan Passes, and get assaulted by guerrilla attacks
- Fifth Division prepares to take Wollybutton itself (having fought on outskirts), NPAF gains partial air superiority over Wein Valley sector
- Finally, because of delays due to guerrilla attacks in the Shentong, the main assault will come from the north toward Diapur

Does that work? I don't want to get too caught up in singular battles so we can move on more easily, especially considering how many fronts we have.
