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

[The Twelve Isles]

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

Well, here's my plan so far. Im going to move my army SPG's, Howitzers and Airborne so that they can assist at Gaidou Peak and open up a route for SMOD to attack Feisten from the Central Pass.

Im also going to use my air wings to help in the fighting for Gaidou Peak. All of this would be coming from Haslet.

[Achesia]

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

Alright, that'll delay our advance.

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

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.

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.

@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.

Any chance the Foolbot should fail as well? I am thinking that at least one of my fronts needs to hold if I have a chance of surviving. Even though that northern assault is bearing down on me as well.

[Murovanka]

Sounds good, Twelve, and for dogfight scenes or anything feel free to 'godmod' shoot-downs of NPAF planes and such.

Any chance the Foolbot should fail as well? I am thinking that at least one of my fronts needs to hold if I have a chance of surviving. Even though that northern assault is bearing down on me as well.

I was thinking initially Foolnot succeeds for me to give an advantage in the north, as Guidou gives the Atlish coalition strong air control (I assume you'll put a radar up there) in the center, and the mountain troops there + Twelve's troops will throw them back.

For the north, either the divisions there have their supply lines overextended, SLA+Manticoran rearguard attacks slows them down, Noveos air strikes, or your reserves come in for a last-ditch defence can push them back.

Alternatively we can consider a Noveos ground entrance to the war (he borders north right?) to 'rescue' Atla though there are enough reasons for the New Phallian invasion to fail, and the Crown Prince will be one of them.

Yea that sounds fine, maybe we can have a glorious assault on Foolnot to retake the height?

Yeah, like a special forces assault on it. I got the inspiration from the battles for Mt Hermon, pretty good those ones.

I think maybe it would be a reservist brigade or just an all out combined arms assault.

@Muro, my other naval groups are still an route so the fleet I have stationed is under orders to either miraculously destroy the Islish fleet or hold out as long as possible until my other two naval groups arrive

You can go ahead and post about capturing the Dam, NPAF is at your disposal to strike targets and such.

[Noveos]

What should I post? I'm not quite sure what course of action you guys want me to take

[Christoslavia]

Am I allowed to take the dam in one post or should I wait for ach to respond?

[Achesia]

Check out the map of units on one of muro's last IC posts. As you can see he has two divisions crossing from Shentong into Atla from the northeast. Perhaps you could cut off his advance from the north?

[Murovanka]

Fine if you take it in one post, ach mentioned like 300 lightly armed guards in the AO.

What should I post? I'm not quite sure what course of action you guys want me to take

You can hit ground units on the map or RP fighting for air control; NPAF is sortieing regularly so you can have some shot down.

[Achesia]

Hmmm I say give me a chance to respond once. Then in your second post take the dam.

Hey Achesia, whats the word on Gaidou Peak? Im having my Airborne, Artillery and fighter and bomber wings attack, so I was wondering if we have any special plans or if I should just go about my business my own way.

I think that is perfect to bring your stuff there. Though the attack has not commenced yet, its a perfect chance to reinforce or something?

[Christoslavia]

I'm hella busy so I'll have a post up later this week

kk, I think now is the time Twelve, Noveos, and Christo to get your posts in for joining the shooting war.

Alright. How should I discuss this with him? It may take me a few days to write it tho.

Alrighty then

[Noveos]

I'm just saying it will take time because I have a lot of work to do. I'll get it up before the end of this week tho

Good post christo, remember to disable the controls for the dam sluices/floodgates, that's the main thing we're concerned about. Opening of floodgates would be bad enough, busting the entire dam would be a catastrophe, see the Möhne Dam in ww2. It flooded up to 80km away.

Next post in the works, I'll make it clear where I'm advancing (which is everywhere) so you can respond to that?

Yeah just give me a summary at the end as well.
