When its location is disclosed, yeah.

We’ll shoot Kurz a message then.

Great.

Post is up, and our friend Dewydd from the Rhondda returns. Essentially Albion has begun mobilising its forces in the East whilst moving its fleet up too but these are of course 'manoeuvres'. Bulgar's activity has been noted but wrongly attributed and I open a new front in Xinjiang which will of course be minor for now. Next I will be looking at King Arthur's arrival in India, the continued voyage of the East Indies Battlegroup and some good old fire force missions along the Malay-Thai border.

Sweet. My post is half-ready, but with lots of new developments coming up: the NPLA is "responding" to the heightened tensions with China by increasing the alert status of its own foreign deployments, the THS is setting its covert operations in motion and the ship tale is about to see a twist.

EDIT: One more thing - the forces entering Malaysia are comrpised of Cambodian THS operatives, not Laosian ones. They merely use weapons acquired and then transferred to them by Laos on the black market.

My post is up, hopefully I'll be able to do some follow-ups in the next week or so and get a little more involved.

I’ll have Lord Aberdeenshire meet you at an airstrip. Also Hearts of Oak made my day Shackley. Bloody good tune. And a bloody good roar too to sing.

Excellent. Glad to hear it cheered you up some; I thought it fit the overall theme of the nation and made it the anthem. You're right, it is a catchy tune.
Wishing everyone a happy New Year, try not to get as pissed as me.

Alas, I have a party in London so I will likely find myself on New Year’s Day in a heap outside Euston Station being pecked at by pigeons.

Woop, posted

Bloody hell. Right well good work. I’ll have local constabulary units evacuate along with civilians and then I’ll send in the cavalry. Things are about to get very violent there. As for your boat, how open are to it being tracked down?

Yeah a bit long! I wanted to include the preparations for the summit with Cedoria too but I'll keep that to a separate post.

It's not impossible for the ship to be discovered tbh, but it should still take some time. IRL it's a very busy naval corridor with hundreds of such ships at any given time.

Of course. Or I wait for it to dock in Singapore and have some MI6 agents piece stuff together. Perhaps he would be more open to a brief meeting in a tea-house with an intel officer?

That would be a perfect outcome. The character is a great hook for some espionage subplots I have in mind.

Got a quick reply up to you as I was doing some work on my laptop anyway. I'll wait for others to post before I make a larger post.

Great, should I proceed with the attack, or wait for a post or two as well, given that the THS is not involved with any of the other parties?

Proceed if you wish

Okay

Made this map of the situation so that everyone can imagine things a bit more clearly.

Very nice. Good post, this will be some good carnage.

Especially when the rest of the insurgents cross the border. They'll be going for the provincial capital but we'll see how far they make it.

Also, happy new year to everyone!

So sorry about not being active or anything, I have been dealing with a lot of Gameplay related stuff recently and as usual RP takes a back seat to Gameplay 99% of the time. I am also going through a massive ORBAT change which will involve my "new" aircraft in special Grater Tovakian Liveries. I will try and have a post out this weekend Again sorry for the unresponsiveness.

No worries, is everyone else alright?

More or less but I'm afraid I might not be able to take part much for the next few days. Terribly sorry but I think a combination of the cold weather and the copious amounts of rum and lager on New Years' Eve ended up giving me a nasty cold which I'm still trying to shift. Added on to that is the fact that I'm a little behind on my college assignments now means that I don't really have the time or energy at the moment.
However as soon as I'm able to rid the annual winter plague and gain some more breathing-room with regard to deadlines I'll be posting as usual.

Again, apologies but I hope to be back in the coming week.
Cheers.

No issues, have a quick recovery. I'm ready with the next steps and available.
