Romanic Imperium Civil War (IC)

[Hochster Stern der Morgenrote]

At nightfall, after ensuring that government forces were at a safe distance, 6 UK bombers flew low over the Aumburan soldiers' camp to avoid radar detection.
After a certain distance, the bombers release napalm charges in the central area of the camp.

Radar detection fails to spot the planes, however multiple infantrymen and tanks spot the planes and yell for troops to take cover. All 3 stationed tanks fire multiple rounds at the 6 planes, although only a few seem to hit their target. Thanks to the fact that Aumburan troops had already began digging in, many troops are able to take cover in self-made foxholes and trenches, while others run to hide underneath tanks, or in nearby buildings. Many soldiers are caught off guard however, and the medical tent tending to wounded Amburans and wounded captured Romanics is directly hit, killing almost everyone inside. In total, 368 troops are wounded by the attack, and 210 are killed. Emergency helicopters fly in to evacuate wounded soldiers back to base camp, as well as transfer medical supplies. Of the 8,232 Aumburan aligned forces that initially controlled the camp before the attack, 7,870 remain healthy enough to continue fighting. The remaining troops dig in even more. Warning signals are sent out to other Aumburan squads, as Aumburan soldiers all around Romanic Imperium prepare for possible Napalm attacks. Aumbura advises that its allies do the same. At this time, 10 fighter jets are launched with the purposes of engaging with the planes that dropped the napalm. Aumburan warships also begin firing at the planes that dropped the napalm. Aumburan President Leland Friece also gives a statement a few hours after the attack, reffering to the use of napalm in war as a "sickening and inhumane practice akin to the use of twisted bio-chemical weapons in World War 1". He also accuses Hochster Stern der Morgenrote of having intentionally targeted the Aumburan medical tent.

One bomber is destroyed by Aumbura's tanks, another two are targeted by anti-aircraft munitions fired by the ships. The remaining aircraft each withdraw in opposite directions.
The body count is as follows: Two air officers killed and one possibly captured by enemy forces after a successful ejection.

The War Hall Committee and Strategy Commander, Her Regent Highness Princess Titania Van der Wiedermann claims that the use of high-efficiency weapons such as napalm and munitions and cluster bombs increase pressure against the enemy government to surrender, decreasing the number of casualties on both sides.
However, this type of ammunition will now be restricted to emergency situations.

[Toonga]

The Tongan Defence Force began its attack on a small village in present-day Sicily. Planes started targeting not military targets, but civilian targets. Ships were given orders to attack civilian buildings. Soldiers would find any civilian they see and kill them with a bullet in their head and heart.

An hour later, with virtually no resistance, the town was under Tongan control. But not for long. Though most Romanic troops were away from the town, they could come back quickly.

The Tongan general was given a special device that allowed him to make announcements to all soldiers under his command.

"What shall you say?" said his advisor, curiously.

The Tongan general tapped his fingers, wondering what to do. All of a sudden, it seemed like he had an idea.

"Kill them all."

On the many second sides of the device, some of the remaining civilians died quickly, with two bullets, just to make sure. At the same time, many buildings would either be destroyed or damaged severely.

An hour later, the last soldier boarded the last ship, which soon departed. Where they would go next was unknown, but the civilians of that location would be unlucky.

On the many second sides of the device, any remaining civilians died quickly, with two bullets, just to make sure. At the same time, many famous Roman buildings would either be destroyed or damaged severely.

An hour later, the last soldier boarded the last ship, which soon departed. Where they would go next was unknown, but the civilians of that location would be unlucky.

OOC: It's not godmodding, it was just committing war crimes. Also, to make it more realistic, I will change the city to a small town near Sicily.

[Reorganized Portugal]

The 96 remaining Portuguese volunteers are found missing one night. They have left a note stating that “a mysterious man” who said he was associated with the Portuguese government claimed that they had to come to the communist side or would face imprisonment upon return. 70 of them defect to the communists, 26 stay with the government.

[Hochster Stern der Morgenrote]

The War Hall Committee of Höchster Stern der Morgenrote asks the government of Reorganized Portugal for its official position on the war, and asks if it is really committed to the cause of the Imperial Government.

Aumbura confirms that it has captured the missing pilot. He is currently being treated for injuries from napalm in a P.O.W. camp in an undisclosed location. Under strict supervision from guards and wire tappers, he was allowed to call his loved ones to let them know he's safe.

Meanwhile, the 10 planes that attacked Hochster Stern der Morgenrote's planes have followed the two retreating aircraft back to their airbase where they came from. Upon arrival, they immediately begin attacking the base.

During this time, Aumbura also welcomes the 70 defectors from Reorganized Portgual to base camp on the coastline.

The base was severely damaged, mainly the primary electrical grid.
Casualties were reported, in the cargo warehouses, maintenance shops and dormitories.
A part of the structure of the Evacuation Tunnels suffered cracks.
The air defense system intercepted the rest of the projectiles protecting the integrity of the runway and shooting down at least two aircraft in the process.
After the connection of the secondary power grid, reinforcements were requested from the aircraft carrier HMS Morning Star.

Balance: 1/5 dead or missing; 2/5 injured

The Senate deliberates on a possible State of Total War.

Warships have begun launching missiles toward the airbase. Two Aumburan planes are indeed shot down during the attack on the airbase, with one more being badly damaged but managing to retreat back to base camp. As for the planes that were downed, one slams into a nearby cliff, killing the two men inside, while the other plane crash lands in a grouping of trees. The plane is suspended in the trees and both the pilot and gunner are still alive. The pilot is currently dangling from his caught parachute in the tree branches, and the gunner is pinned down in the plane by a piece of metal laying on his bleeding legs.

The other 7 planes circle back and begin firing upon the aircraft carrier from which reinforcements were requested.

5,800 soldiers from the aforementioned Communist camp, along with 2 tanks, begin to move toward Sicily. We request an reinforcement of troops from our allies.

Aumburan President Leland Friece encourages Hochester Stern de Morgenrote to keep this conflict a mere proxy war, as an official declaration of war between nations instead of between rebel factions could lead to unnecessary bloodshed on a global level.

The aircraft carrier retreats 100 nautical miles into the open sea.
During this time, HMS Carnival fires cluster munitions at the attacking aircraft.
HMS Bloemfontein fires with the 16-inch gun in a curvilinear trajectory against the coast.
Following Aumbura's requests to the Senate War Commission, he will not raise the level of tensions and suggests a ceasefire between the two nations.

Two escort ships are hit and sink, most of the crew are rescued by the others.

[Toonga]

The group of soldiers arrived at Sardinia's capital, Cagliari. They were confident they could capture it just like the village in Sicily.

Naval units hit the city infrastructure hard. Aerial units attacked soldiers nearby.

However, after rough fighting, and devastating casualties, the city came under the hands of the Tongans.

Like he did with the Sicilian village, the general ordered the execution of any Sicilian found.

However, instead of finding another town to "liberate", the general ordered all troops to use blitzkrieg tactics to attack west and north Sardinia, and eventually Corsica.

Two Aumburan fighter planes are shot down when attacking the aircraft. One is destroyed completely mid-air, killing those inside, while the other loses both wings before crashing into the sea. The pilot is trapped in his seat and drowns when the cockpit sinks, but the gunner remains alive, staying afloat on a piece of wreckage. The remaining five planes head back to base camp.

Aumbura proposes the idea of a possible alliance between the Communist rebels and the government forces against the regressive and oppressive monarchists, who it seems are preparing to commit war crimes. Aumbura agrees to the idea of a ceasefire between the nations, and proposes a meeting between Morgenrote's officials and leader of the Communist rebellion, Aumburan General Everett Klein, and Aumbura's Minister of Defense. We wish to discuss the idea of collectively forming a new DEMOCRATIC government within Romanic Imperium.

Meanwhile, the 5,000 troops stationed in the woods finally move, as they begin to join other Aumburan forces on their way to Sicily. The two airmen stuck in trees are also rescued during this time.

[Romanic Imperium]

The government agrees to a cease-fire. With the Communists. Asking for a allyship to defeat the monarchist and KTO forces.

A formation of 100 bombers and 50 fighters fill the sky's above Sardinia their mission anhilate Tongan forces. The formation takes high to the air with the fighters destroying any enemy air forces. Finally they sight the enemy forces bombers open their bomb bays and start dropping bombs

Aumbura agrees to the alliance and aids Romanic in this fight. The units stationed outside of Sicily move to Sardina and begin engaging with the Tongan army. 10,800 Auburan ground forces and three tanks are present during the battle. Tanks continuously fire at Tongan troops, as 7,000 Aumburan ground forces make their way into the city while the others stay back and provide cover. Aumburan forces also try their best to rescue civilians and get them to cover.

Agreeing with Aumbura's proposition, Princess Titania orders the cessation of hostilities and, as a means of making the communist-government alliance possible, the United Kingdom, proposes to the Imperial Government a significant increase in spending in social and labor areas, installation of a program of agrarian reform and quotas for communist parties within the elections.
Major Bendicht Von Herren will be sent to negotiations.

The government agrees

With that, an official agreement is made between the government and communist movements to work together to form a new democratic government within Romanic Imperium. In the mean time, we will continue focusing our efforts on the liberation of Sardinia and the expulsion of Toongan forces. We once again request Hochster Stern der Morgenrote's help with freeing Sardinia from the monarchists.

[Svenska-Britannia]

Southern Romanicia
With the sudden new diplomatic agreement, Svenska-Britannian forces found themselves in an alliance with Government forces with the Communists as the main force to be backed.

A rocket battery of 'HAMRA 3' High-Precision Mobile Artillery Rocket Platform began receiving Fire-Coordinates thanks to allied Military Satellite Arrays. And so, with the new coordinates a volley of 10 Large Anti-Ground Super-Sonic High-Thermobaric rockets streaked through the sky as per the orders to target large formations of Tongan military forces. The Rockets sped up to their Terminal Velocity of Mach 6 within around 30 seconds of flight time and made their way to their targets, after around 6 minutes or so the Rockets found their Final Targets and immediately targeted the Large Formations of Tongan Tanks, Infantry, and Artillery Positions. Giving the Tongans little time to react against such a fast moving threat.

After repairing the damage to the vessels, the High Seas Fleet leaves for the coast of Sardinia, meeting with the Aumburan vessels present there.

The ground troops already stationed in the capital are divided, 25,000 soldiers remain to safeguard the pre-established defenses, the rest are heading towards Sardinia, flanking it in sets with the Fleet.

At the flank point, troops dig three trenches, namely: Defense, Supplies and Command Line.

The United Kingdom War Hall Committee sends officers to the Aumbura Command Center to discuss the strategy for the resumption.

23 Portuguese volunteers are killed in an air strike.

100 new volunteers from Portugal arrive to fight for the government.

Government volunteers - 120
Communist POW “volunteers” - 52

PS Any regiments they can join?
