Klaus' War {OOC|MT|CLOSED}

[The Grand Duchy Of Nova Capile]

Yes, Happy Easter and thanks for your contributions to the RP so far. I personally won't be active for the rest of today, just checking in really quickly. And I don't expect any posts to be made. Enjoy the holiday with your family.

[Kingdom of Damascus]

I'll get to work on my next post. Happy Easter, by the way!

Sorry about the short posts. I'm hoping to get more time to write longer posts come next week, but I can't guarantee anything.

Sorry I've been busy.

However, I really am excited to roleplay now.

No problem, guys.

Working on a post now.

[Kingdom of Damascus]

Working on my next post.

[The Grand Duchy Of Nova Capile]

So ideas for where to start?

I may be out of the loop.

I would suggest an introductory post with your characters reacting to the civil war in Capile and issuing an official declaration of support/war for the faction of their choice.

From there, I would suggest collaborating with allies and working together on the same front. Alternatively, find a front that no one else is supporting and bulwark it.

Sorry guys, won't be able to get a post up tonight. Definitely tomorrow.

[Castelia]

My next post is mostly exposition on Castelia's expeditionary forces plus the arrival to Rochefurt. Yay.
.
I assumed Rochefurt would have a harbor considering its proximity to the coast. Would that be accurate?

I’ll try to get a post up by this weekend.

[New Decius]

Have any of the factions gained a foothold in the Capilean colonies?

Yes. It is not a major shipyard, but it does have port facilities and it is a coastal town.

Sounds good.

Have any of the factions gained a foothold in the Capilean colonies?

Ah, yes. I hadn't mentioned them so far and I don't really want to involve them in the RP other than in passing mention.

In his brief reign, Klaus has essentially decolonized all of Capile's African holdings. Those that had very little Capilean population (all Asian holdings, some of the recently acquired African nations) achieved full independence. Of the others, they are now three dependent nations: The Republic of Ethiopia, encompassing Ethiopia, Somalia, Djibouti, and Eritrea; the Republic of Sudan, encompassing Sudan and South Sudan; and the Republic of Victoria, encompassing Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, and Burundi.

The three Republics have significant Capilean minority populations (between 10-25%) and are politically considered protectorates of the Grand Duchy. Thus, they have officially declared for the Royalists. However, the native population sees the civil war as an opportunity to achieve full independence, and should the monarchy suffer further defeats, the three Republics will likely declare complete independence. None of the factions other than the monarchy have any major ties to the former colonies; the most would be ethnic Capileans who are followers of Communism or Fascism and who live within the three Republics.

But all of this is just background information, it likely won't come into play except as a blow to the monarchy's ego and prestige, as I don't want this RP to be sidetracked into a campaign in Africa.

Working on my IC post, should be up tonight.

quick question for you Cap.

About how long would it take for a fleet of ships to travel from Amsterdam(my nation's military port) to Nova Capile. Just wanted to know so I don't god-mod when I deploy at Gravines.

[Vrijstaat Limburg]

Sorry for posting yet another short post so soon.

For anybody wondering, I drafted an ORBAT for my forces. I reckon that a battalion-sized unit wouldn't raise too many eyebrows with international press and whatever.

I'm going to be using five C-130s (my entire fleet of C-130 aircraft to supply the troops. After less than a week, a shipment of supplies (additional rations, vehicles and firearms) will land. Until then, the riflemen and engineers will have to make do with the little amount of equipment that they have. Entrenchment tools and anti-tank weaponry will most likely force the Limburgs troops to sit there and wait for a monarchist attack.

Im waiting a little on my post to get that passage of time effect cause my next post will be the completion of the airlift of five divisions from Southern France to Capile, thats 125,000 troops plus their immediate supplies and also vehicles etc (My nation is a massive empire so our airlift capacity is a bit expanded) to Joint Base Josef the Base my nation previously built and leased from Capile. This is just an immediate reaction force as my military mobilizes a larger force for a full deployment but that will take quite a bit longer

[The Grand Duchy Of Nova Capile]

Sorry for the brief period of inactivity, guys. Didn't get a chance to get on last night as I was watching the premiere of Avengers: Endgame, and besides that, I've been busy with studies and rowing.

I don't anticipate posting today, but expect a response tomorrow afternoon (PDT).

Alright, but remember that the Royalists, while close, have yet to regain the initiative, and the Communist offensive from Raus will be drawing a lot of the monarchy's resources in the south. For the time being, they won't have the manpower to launch a major attack on Saatland. This could be just the opportunity the Saatlanders need to either consolidate their defenses or expand to encompass the entire province.

Hmm, since we're not dating posts this is hard to judge. I would say it would be okay to have your troops arriving at harbor and beginning to unload in your second post. If you feel that's too soon, you can make your second post a description of the journey (perhaps introduce your characters and detail your battleplan).

[Kingdom of Damascus]

I've finally caught myself some time to work on my post!

Me too. Mine's coming tomorrow afternoon.

Halfway done with mine

[The Grand Duchy Of Nova Capile]

Things came up yesterday- but, I have a post in the works. Seeing as many of you are close to posting, I will push mine off until I'm happy with it and can respond to as many of you as possible in a single stroke.

Can you make a post accepting my offer of help so I can land at Gravines?
