They do have limited ammunition, so they will have to refuel and re-arm. They also do not have enough for a prolonged engagement, so they can't engage a carrier battle group by themselves, for example. They are mostly for convoy strikes

Excellent reinforcement interceptors.

These guys are going to be part 2 of my "Operation Cold Embrace"

My IC group wont know this, so what is Operation Cold Embrace?

@Hypron: How many troops do you have in Copenhagen? This information is necessary for the battle to actually start.

It's an operation to retake Ostway. Spetsnaz basically cut the city off from the rest of the country by setting up ambushes and destroying any convoys as they leave the city, effectively starving them. The submarines are going to be destroying convoys as they try to relive the city. If Akatia moves a naval group to attack the subs, they will retreat.

You may not be able to take on a full Carrier Force, but why not try to sneak a sub under the escorts and attack the carrier. Dont sink it, just try to do damage.

Exactly... America. I'll wait for Black's decision but I'm almost at the point of telling you guys no aircraft carriers since aerial strikes are forbidden.

Also, if you are trying to bring a CV into the mix, I'm going off personnel required and a CV fully loaded needs 5828 personnel so that's over half your allowed troops on one ship. (USS Enterprise Class CV)

After i changed it to the Forrestal class non-nuclear aircraft carrier, and cutting down the escort count, the total crew is 6,637, leaving me with 3363 deployable manpower from Hypron.

Except you lost a fair amount of forces in the battle for Ostway.

3063, i lost 300 troops at Ostway, most of that group is intact.

I do still have 80 of your guys prisoner. Also yes, I will not be able to take on a full carrier force. Does Akatia have a sizable navy deployed already?

Also fellows, I believe we ought to wait till TBP is able to post and oversee the battle before we kick it off for Copenhagen.

You also have spent 2,500 of your troops in Copenhagen, which means 563 more soldiers to draft into the war.

I'm still thinking what I'll do with Ostway.

I have not sent submarines, yes, the Ostway coasts are guarded by the Akatiana brigade and surely if the Spetznas approach the city, the Akatians ranks would prepare for the battle, they are an approximate of 4900 soldiers. What may happen is that you may destroy some supply ships (among which are artillery transport vessels) and consequently, you would make Akatia declare war on you. But in myself, I have not sent any kind of naval or air force, I only have land forces.

The Spetsnaz are not attacking the city. They are just performing attacks on land convoys if they exit the current borders established. Also, the submarines haven't arrived yet. There is no plan to attack the city directly.

It's good to know that. Anyway, many of the supply ships are unprotected since I have not sent frigates to escort them.

I have at 4,500 troops available to send to Ostway if anyone else is going.

We are also able so truck supplies in from Lux Pulchrae such as ammo, artillery and food. If anyone wants the Kingdom can send provisions, for a price

Now that the situation in Ostway has calmed down ... does diplomacy touch before another war action?
I must clarify that Akatia is against the government of the black party. My supplies are arriving by sea, if someone wants to do something about it, can post it.

A submarine combat group of 4 Whiskey-classes will move in to cover the Lux Pulchare transports.

Spetsnaz will begin attacking convoys making their way into the Akatia territory, in an attempt to split their forces stationed in the city

But I feel we should get The Black Party premission before we start the attack

The transport wouldn't require submarine escort, they come in through the Francway which we got locked down

If someone wants to establish a diplomatic contact with Akatia for what happened in Ostway, can let me know.

That was before this.

How about this, instead of having a entire carrier task force, I have 4 Guided Missile Destroyers and 1 Guided Missile Cruiser? Ill say that King James VII was recalled.

Um no. Guided Missile Destroyers were built in 1978 and commissioned into the US navy in 1981. Let's wait for TBP to decide though.

I mean the Charles F Adams class, not technically a guided missile destroyer per say.

Revarna, how about we wait till TBP gets back before starting another major battle.

That's what I'm doing, just doing minor movements otherwise
