I'm bringing in character-based bits from time to time, but most of it is troop movements...

In the evening. I has to go to the schooling place soon. With luck, I can fake sickness and get off early

You bettah or else the whips will go from kinky to dangerous! You have a lot to respond to, so take your time with your next response. Off the top of my head, you have the 42 hours of attacks by my military, Allanean actions, NW Canada Actions, and Quendi actions.

Imma be landing in Leinster Bay now.

It seems I have my work cut out for me then. Luckily you oldfolk will be at work, so I need not worry about being rushed. The war goes so fast I'm afraid of taking too long and getting ninja'd.

GT, can I expect any serious resistance to my three legions + auxiliaries landing in Leinster Bay? Also, what is the geography around there?

You could probably ask people to stop posting further actions until you respond to what has already happened. What happens is people do something, get no response, then do something else on top of that. That is why instead of detailing not only what happens during your march but also the start of actual pew-pewing between us, I am allowing you to respond first to what happens during the march vis a vi the bombardment.

The best thing to do is look at what someone has done and, before you go into detail, write down the basics like initial reaction, losses, and the end state for every operation. Then when you have time, add flavor, details, and story. That way you don't feel too overwhelmed.

Yes, you can. Very serious resistance, as Ableyon is a major city.

Right. Sent out four Sparrowhawks for armed recon. Waiting for your response before I carry on. Also, I repeat my question regarding the geography around the southern shore of Leinster Bay.

Alright then, thanks for that. I will request a general gag on posting until my response is up. I mean, you can go ahead with little things with little impact, but lets silence the big guns, shall we?

I'm also character-based(Starcraft-level Micro)....until I use up ALL of my military.

by **Egalitarian Akros** » Mon Feb 28, 2011 10:24 am

So, if Egalitarian Akros, having just become aware of this war (it was busy with different military matters elsewhere) wishes to send combat-ready divisions, ships, and aircraft to help the alliance, I need to wait until GT posts, right? If I sent them, however, where would be the best landing zone at this point?

by **Parthia Magna** » Mon Feb 28, 2011 11:12 am

Parthia Magna, my Persian puppet created for precisely this reason, is going to risk its entire mobile standing army (there are still garrisons, royal guards, and militia) in open war on the side of Greater Tezdrian. This should make for some good RP. The Immortals in particular are armed with Vizier rifles, a cheap knock-off of the Lyran guns (if that is okay with Lyras)...the idea there is to really anger the Lyrans and their allies with such blatant patent infringement.

It's a rag-tag army compared to the more modern ones fighting against GT, but it should make for an interesting foe, especially given the noted courage and ferocity of the RL Immortals.

The navy is diesel-powered, but has plenty of shells for its artillery and the ships are well-maintained despite their ancient fuel source. The Parthians also tend to use "Zoroastrian Fire" a lot, whenever they need a quick edge over their enemies. Be warned of the effects of this incendiary tactic.

And whose puppet is this?

Egalitarian Akros. I want to have one nation on each side of this war.

Ah-ha.

by **Parthia Magna** » Mon Feb 28, 2011 11:27 am

If it is okay, I want to begin naval and air operations immediately somewhere near the anti-Tezdriani beachhead, so as to begin harassing them and prepare for a landing of my own troops with the idea of directly confronting them with an obstacle....obstructing their advance.

by **Aquilinia** » Mon Feb 28, 2011 11:33 am

Well, thre are several beachheads...you mean the Unilisian(-Aquilinian) controlled zone around Ostgaard?

by **Parthia Magna** » Mon Feb 28, 2011 11:38 am

Whichever beachhead is farthest to the west of those in the pro-Lyras, anti-Tezdriani coalition. Not someplace already firmly under occupation. More of a contested or soon-to-be contested, or a less secure beachhead. The idea is to try to block them and throw them back into the sea (though I doubt it will succeed).

by **Aquilinia** » Mon Feb 28, 2011 11:40 am

Eh..furthest west would the the Quendian assault, I think.

That works. Thanks.

Expect another thermobaric ICBM from me. Just because it was so fun the first time... and because I really feel like slaughtering Tezdriani soldiers.

Alright. Don't forget that I just shot 6 thermobaric bombs at your army.
