The Axis-SDC Conflict (MT, IC/Ltd. OOC, CLOSED)

[Coalition State]

OOC: So, it looks like all the major players are ready to rock. The Axis has convened and we are ready to start the war when you are. Just give the word and let the RP'ing begin.

As of now, hostilities have begun. (Lucky us, they begin on a fresh new page!)

Please remember that you cannot post an entire battle-you must let the other team counter.
This ensure no one says...

"I land in the Coalition and defeat all ground forces then set up a beachead."

I think this is a universal truth, but TG me if you must. Remember that from here on out, All OOC is to be kept in telegrams, the rest of this thread should be solely war and RP entertainment.

As a final note, since the Axis are attacking, we request that you make the first move.

Thanks, SDC

For reference, here is the map (with deployments)

[Unified states of North China]

A group of 2 North Chinese Frigates bombarded a small beachhead and withdrew to join it's main fleet. USNC bomber aircraft bombed a populated area inside of Nellogg and set fire to some buildings, but the causalities were reasonably small compared to other raids.

[Coalition State]

OOC: I am going to assume that you meant Nolivar instead of Bikanel Island, because the war is in the Coalition, not Herigjen. I'll let Vakali-nitom respond, since he is defending Nolivar and the Kellogg Attols.

[Vakali-nitom]

The massive fleets and anti air quickly respond to the attack. Drones in the skies above monitor all activity between the imperial forces and up to 400KM from the coast. The naval forces in the area quickly engage the enemy ships, while anti air and jet fighters quickly engage enemy air units.

[The 22nd Parallel]

As the Axis war machine began to move, so too did the fleets of the 22nd Parallel. Hundreds of ships; cruisers, carriers, destroyers and more all formed beneath the watchful command of the 22nd Parallel capital ship, the APS Hellfire. The massive ship sat steady among the waves as naval commanders and logistics personnel coordinated aircraft and ship movements deep within its thick hull. As the 22nd Parallel fleet merged with the North Chinese fleet, Lyran Warhawk fighter jets took off from the dozens of aircraft carriers in the hundreds, splitting into wings to soften the enemy beachheads and assault Allied warships. The enormous Axis fleet waited now only for the Wachan navy to begin its advance toward the Kellogg Atolls.

The guns on the deck of the APS War Machine aircraft carrier hammered away, sending thousands of heavy rounds toward the islands, where they slammed into beachheads with deafening explosions and formed innumerable craters. A squadron of Warhawk jets rocketed off the deck one after another and linked up with several Reaver attack helicopters. The force moved toward the beachhead at Kellogg. The air seemed to split above the slow-moving Reavers as the Warhawks roared past, unleashing a deadly rain of carpet bombs and missiles onto enemy entrenchments. The jets screamed past and split away as the Reavers thundered in, raining down hundreds of rockets and autocannon rounds onto the already softened enemy structures before linking up with the Warhawks again and moving to a new section of beachhead.

All over the Kellogg Atolls, jets and helicopters assaulted Allied beachheads and ships, preparing the enemy for the coming onslaught.

All over the Kellogg Atolls, jets and helicopters assaulted Allied beachheads and ships, preparing the enemy for the coming onslaught.

The Two 1050mm Artillery guns on Mao Zedong has fired up to 2,000 rounds a day, hitting dozens of millitary target on the beachhead. 50 MiG-31s intercepted a bomber group heading and routed them. The 231st Calvary division has landed on a beachhead but has come under fire and bogged down, taking 21 causalities before withdrawing.

[Vakali-nitom]

Air units quickly head to cut off enemy fast air and helos. Hundreds of jets take off as they move in to soften up enemy assaults on the beaches. Meanwhile, on the ground, forces are using artillery to slow enemy advances to a sails pace. Artillery bombards the beach day and night, never stopping. Troops in bunkers lay down suppressive fire and snipers pick off any commanding officers seen.

At sea ships begin to sight in on the enemy fleets. With the help of drone support, it is only a matter of time before the massive enemy fleet feels the pain of imperial naval power. Once the enemy fleet is acquired, the armada will open fire with long range missiles that are designed for anti ship strikes.

Kellog Islands, CS, SDC
October 27th, 2018-3:18 PM
Day 2 of hostilities

From the bridge of the Hellfire, bridge crews occupied themselves with communications and weapons consoles- the Nitomian Armada, a fleet almost three times as large as there own, was on an intercept course. The Captain took a minute to admire the blue sky and the dark clouds to the northwest. Huge, black stormclouds with lightining flashing. But something caught his eye-the fact that the clouds were moving....and fast. Suddenly, a dark shadow swept over the enourmes vessel, and all became clear.

The clouds were artificial, made from enourmes smoke canisters as coverup to hide the half dozen Stratofortress airships' offensive deployment. These behemoths of the sky descended, firing missiles at oncoming planes like a monster swatting flies. Ships fired there SAMs, but to no avail. The airships fired Mozrian sucicide drones, and intercepted them in flight. One of the Hellfire's main turrets fired a round into one of the six decensding Stratofortress', and the shell penetrated the hull and exploded, causing the injured airship to crash into the sea at an angle, sinking under the waves.

But as one monster fell, another rose. The SDC Flagship, the submersible aircraft carrier Atlantis, surfaced starboard to the Hellfire, and as it rose, each of it's 36 recoiless rifles fired almost 20 rounds per minute of modified AP ammunition, which was designed to breach the enemy armor than explode into a cloud of white phosphorus. The Atlantis had the advantage of surprise-they were able to rack the massive ship for a full minute before the Hellfire finally responded with cordinated salvos of it's own.

The pride and joy of the 22nd's battlegroup, the heaviest armored vessel in his navy, the ass kicking Hellfire was not about to loose to some Coalition peice of crap (Not that it is, it coated over 800 billion dollars to complete construction and manning of the largest ship in the whole SDC). The 6 inch main guns Pounded at the vulnerable Atlantis, as these two levianthans duked it out. Meanwhile, the Joint Nitomian-Coalition Fleet charged headlong into the Axis fleet, while Stratofortress ruled the skies above the largest naval battle in SDC history.

The Atlantis started to succumb to the awe-inspiring fire from the Hellfire and began to slip under the waves, as Chinese MIGs strafed it. The Atlantis would live to fight another day.

OOC: not that's an achievement, we've only been in three wars. Im sorry for the godmod earlier, i've fixed it. Also, i'm assuming that the 22nds fleet is occupied with the Nitomian armada, so im able to get a one-on-one.

[Unified states of North China]

231 MiG-31 blitzed a small village in Kellogg, causing a lot of damage and a spread of fire, seriously weakening the SDC's troops morale. As they move in, they find bodies of there own comrades, shredded and covered with blood. Another follow-up raid caught the SDC offguard, and the SDC troops defending that village found themselves retreating again.
Air Battle:
21 MiG-32 was sent to intercept a group of returning bombers from a patrol. This interception group was led by Captain Zhong Go. As his planes were approaching the bomber group, they found an even more precious target, the submersible carrier Atlantis. They dived down an completely abandoning there main target. The Atlantis had a hard time fighting away these MiGs, who would dive down at speeds such as 1,000 Kp/h and then dive up. The raid caused light damage to the Atlantis, since it quickly submerged after that. Then the MiGs attacked the bomber patrol, but was unable to destroy all of it.
Land Battles:
50,000 men of the 31st Kihetai division has landed on a Kellogg beachhead and have taken a defensive position due to some SDC counter attacks. The amphibious ships Warhawk is supporting it with artillery fire and missiles. This beachhead is not secured, but reinforcements from the Axis fleet (especially from other USNC division) are expected.

[Coalition State]

Kellogg Attols, 4 miles from Chinese Beachhead

A dozen Crankshaft heavy transports and gunship escorts flew into the Kellogg Atolls, forming a phalanx. Inside th Crankshafts were IFVs, light tanks, and dozens of infantry men that made up the 89th Airborne. Once on the ground, the QRF teams would stall the Chinese advance, and assist there Nitomian allies in pushing them back to the beachead.

Fort Fischer
CentCom Center

"General Chance," a young logistics officer addressed the busy commander from behind,"the Mozrian commander is here." Chance turned from his command console. "Chance! Long time, no see, old friend." Admrial Fredrick Patterson smiled. "Indeed, Fredrick. What brings you to CentCom today?"

Patterson's grin faded, and he handed Chance a manilla folder. The text on the front read OPERATION : HANNIBAL. Chance took the folder with a curious look, and reviewed it's contents. HANNIBAL was a worse-case scenario Op, in which the Axis nations seized Nolivar and the Kellogg Atolls. He read further, taking a seat at a nearby table. When he was finished, he closed it, head nodding.

"I agree with the contingency," Chance said to Patterson. He stood, taking a deep breath. "Hopefully, however, HANNIBAL wont even need to exist. If we could get the Mozrian Navy into position-" Patterson cut him off. "Already on it. Alpha Battlegroup is already en route to assist the Nitomian naval armada." Chance's warm smile returned. "We could also use some ground troops. the 89th Airborne is there already, but they are simply a QRF. They can't hold forever." "What about the Nitomians there already?" Chance nodded. "They have not been able to hold back the Chinese yet. Hopefully with our support, they will."

Patterson stroked his brow, thinking, and replied. "Yes, Mozrian armored divisions may be able to assist, but only the out of our reserve forces. For all we know, this entire invasion could be a diversion to attack Brackins. I won't let that happen."

Chance took Patterson's hand. "Very well, friend. Until next time."

OOC: Written with Mozria, he approves.

http://s1173.beta.photobucket.com/user/The_Grand_Empire_of_Mozria/media/CoalitionDeploymentMap1_zps0b6ed391.jpg.html

Cool! I've updated the Battle of The Kellogg Atolls, the ground war, about a day before your forces move in to support.

Lt. Taylor ducked as another Chinese artillery shell landed in front of him, this time pulverizing a Badger IFV. He looked ahead through his sniper scope, relativity safe from the too of the hill, and pondered the current situation.

The JSF had taken heavy casualties while attempting to push the Chinese off the beach, but to no avail. Over 2000 Axis marines were stranded in the three mile long stretch of wet sand, fortified in hastily-dug trenches and foxholes. Abandoned equipment, disabled tanks, and bombshell craters added to the scene of utter chaos.

At first, the Chinese were unable to respond to the sudden resistance that the QRF had given, but as they neared the beachhead the Axis began to give a much fiercer fight. Chinese artillery ships fired day and night upon the SDC troops, allowing little time for sleep, little time for food, but plenty of time for hell.

Taylor zoomed in with the dials on the scope. In the water, less than a mile away, the Nitomian-Coalition fleet continued to battle with the Axis armada. He watched as a Coalition frigate engaged a Chinese battleship, which sustained a direct hit to the bridge. The battleship, it's compromised navigation system locked in a right turn, rammed the frigate. The smaller vessel split into two parts and began to sink, it's scrambling crew at the mercy of Chinese machine-gunners. 

Both had sustained heavier casualties than expected. The Coalition State alone had already lost 10,000 KIA or MIA, in the navy and on the ground, plus two dozen capital ships.

[Valkalan]

Just as another Axis battleship began to fix its cannons on a battered Coalition destroyer, the battleship was struck on its side by a pair of anti-ship missiles. As the ship burst into flame sending members of its crew flying into the waves, a flight of Imperial MK-47s swooped down and fired more missiles destroying more Axis vessels.

The battle was being monitored abroad the INV Scimitar, an Oktopus class submarine several kilometers away from the battle.
"Several USNC ships are sunk. Five of our MKs are down." the first officer reported to his captain. Captain Nelius nodded. "Relay the battle report to the fleet. Notify Task Unit Zeta."

[The 22nd Parallel]

OOC: As I was putting together my deployments, I overlooked a recent addition to my navy. I am also deploying 25 Elementen-Class ballistic submersibles and 25 Elementen-Class anti-ship submersibles built by the Royal Beaufort Shipwrights' guild.

The mighty Lyran Hellfire rocked heavily after its pounding from thee Atlantis. Commander Pyotr Yakov, captain of the Hellfire and a veteran of the Mozrian War among others, stood in its bridge. The ship's Cromwell II AI system's screens were abuzz with errors, flashing lights, and the like. An endless stream of damage reports scrolled rapidly through a large screen in front of him. He put his head in his heads and sighed.
"Shit. What are we looking at?" He said to an officer at a nearby terminal.
"Well, the hull took a pretty good beating before we could turn the guns on them. A few of our turrets and a good number of the below-surface defense systems are offline." The officer replied.
"So?"
"We'll make it, but we can't stay here any longer. We won't survive another attack like that."
Pyotr turned to his console. He turned on the microphone and began transmitting.
"This is Pyotr Yakov, captain of the APS Hellfire. We have sustained heavy damage and cannot remain in Coalition waters any longer. We will be retreading to safer territory, where we will continue providing logistics support and fire support from our guns and onboard ICBMs, but we will no longer be alongside you. Sow death, and reap victory, my comrades." With that, he motioned to his navigation officer and the APS Hellfire began to withdraw, limping away from the mighty fleet.

With the withdrawal of the Hellfire, the 22nd Parallel began its invasion full force. All four of the navy's Amphibious Assault Groups (AAGs) deployed at once, each consisting of 25 Kazatlan-Class landing ships and 20 Hatchet-Class frigates, ten of those in anti-ship and ten in anti-air configurations, set in defensive columns on either side of the Kazatlans. Each AAG held approximately 30,000 men, for a total island invasion force of 120,000 soldiers. The groups split into two sections, each moving toward a separate side of the large island. As the fleet of ships moved out, all aerial and artillery strikes in creased, but concentrated on each of the two landing zones. Hundreds of bombing runs smashed the enemy bunkers and relentless helicopter strikes battered them. The focus force of the 22nd Parallel air force would quickly wither the enemy defenses. As the rain of fire pummeled the enemy beachheads, the four AAG groups moved ever closer. Allied ships attempted to assault them but found themselves outnumbered by twenty anti-ship frigates. Harassing aircraft, while the occasional hit was scored, were - for the most part - ripped apart by the equally numerous anti-air frigates. Just as the AAGs were approaching their targets, the ICBM missiles on the APS Hellfire began to take flight.

Pyotr watched as 6 ICBM's erupeted fire from their tubes beneath the deck. Three rocketed to the west and three to the east. As they moved of, they gained speed rapidly and disappeared into the distance. The missiles ripped through the sky in trios, each quickly approaching their targets. Within moments, the missiles impacted their respective beachheads, pounding them with three massive, fiery explosions each. The enormous explosions could easily be felt from the AAGs as them closed in on the beachheads. Clouds of fire and explosive force erupted from the impact sites ripping entrenchments to shreds and burning flesh to ash.

Minutes later, the 100 Kazatlan amphibious ships landed, 50 at each beachhead, while their frigates waited nearby in defense. Thousands of soldiers spilled out onto the beaches, charging forward while artillery shells impacted around them, creating craters beneath them and slinging ash and sand all over the soldiers. They rushed forward against the Allied defenses, bayonets fixed and screaming.

Lieutenant Arman Vorchevsky's ship, the APS Bloodbath, was the first to hit the ashen sand at the western beachhead. As soon as he felt the thud of the ship's nose impacting the earth, its ramp dropped with a deafening clank and he rans forward as fast as his legs could carry him. He charged onto the beach, screaming at the top of his lungs. He leveled his rifle, a beaten, old, AK-74N assault rifle, toward an Allied emplacement and emptied half a magazine in fully automatic fire. He continued to run, as machine gun fire ripped up soldiers around him. Blood splashed on his jacket and his goggles and he felt the warm, red blood of his comrades splatter onto his exposed arms, enraging him. He screamed louder and ran directly toward an enemy machine gun emplacement. He leapt over the sandbag barrier and, as he flew into the nest, stabbed his bayonet into the chest of the gunner, spraying blood everywhere. As soon as he landed atop the dead soldier, he pulled his Colt M1911A1 handgun from its holster and fired two rounds into the chest of the other soldier in the nest. He holstered his pistol and pulled at his rifle, attempting to dislodge its bayonet from the bleeding chest of his enemy, but an artillery shell landed within several meters of the MG nest, blowing it apart and sending Arman flying to his back, covered in sand and blood. He groaned and rolled over, pulling himself up off the charred, glassy beach. He checked his rifle, covered in ash and blood, and continued to run, along with tens of thousands of other soldiers.

A combine force of the 12,000 Kihetai has beaten a SDC counterattack, taking 101 Causalities, but they were still in a stable position. SDC Snipers, however, inflicting 219 causalities yesterday. General James Walther has commenced a big paratrooper division to take down SDC snipers.The 1st Yugekitai Regiment has landed secretly in another beach and has advanced to take the village of Mauserkitwz.
Naval Battle:
Several Chinese Battleships has taken a group of SDC patrol boats by surprise, but the patrol boats quickly sailed away. However, the Chinese Battleship Beijing launched a missile to a abandon military port, where the ships rested. The missile hit the port, but the patrol ships were already gone. 21 Fisherman, however, was killed. Another force of 32 Chinese Frigates, led by the aircraft carrier Shengdang, has blockaded a military port, and has battered alot of Gun batteries on there.

[Coalition State]

Despite facing a literal onslaught of troops, the Coalition defenders had fared poorly. Individually, they were more experienced and had more advanced weaponry, but nothing could have prepared them for this. Soliders, some as young as 15, rushed the SDC positions-some with rifles, some with knives, and some with only there bare hands. The Coalition soliders litteraly did not have enough ammunition to kill them all-for every high-tech coalition solider on the battlefield, there were dozens of fiercely determined, enraged, and screaming Axis stormtroopers. The fight had become a brutal hand-to-hand combat scenario, Coalition soliders with shotguns and machetes versus a never-ending wave of 22's troops. To make matters even worse, Chinese paratroopers had commadered SDC artillery emplacements 10 minutes into the battle, turning them instead on unsuspecting Coalition troops.

There was, however, a way to stop the madness on the beaches. It defied all rules of war, all honor, but it had to be done. When Admrial Chance relayed the order, all he could say was, "May god have mercy on there souls." He gave the order, followed by a small prayer.

Coalition strike fighters flew over the beaches, dropping Napalm canisters and fuel-air bombs. The brutal airstrikes lasted for only three minutes, but when they left, there were no bodies to recover. The entire 29th Airborne Battalion was listed as KIA. And with them, a very large chunk of 22's landing force. Coalition bombers had killed anything that moved on the ground, turning the beautiful Nordic landscape into a barren, battered, and burning wasteland.

Chance left CentCom and went to his quarters, locking himself inside for the rest of the day. Coalition flags flew at half mast for the remainder of the war.

The Beaches of Kellogg
Dedicated to the fallen SDC Soliders of the 89th Airborne.
By George Herald

From Herigjen to hell,
For oil or homeland,
They fought until
The very last man
While en masse or in casts,
When death came to,
To the so very few,
They died in flame
That consumed the Unnamed.

P.S. George herald is not my name, and i suck at wiring poems, but for a 14 year old and about 10 minutes, I'd say it's pretty good.

[Vakali-nitom]

In the JSOC control room officers watched as ICBM's were launched by the axis. This was all that JSOC needed. The order was given to launch a full scale ICBM strike on the enemy armada. Minutes after the strike was approved, 100 ICBM's were launched at the enemy armada. These would deal great damage to the enemy and pave a way to their front doors.

After the strike was approved and the missiles were on their way, three armada battle-landing groups were prepared to sail for north china. They would lead the coalition into a new theater. The empire was done playing around. It was time to end this.

On the beach troops arrived from their military installations to reinforce the troops defending against the enemy. These troops were part of the storm fever unit. They were the best of the best. They quickly took up positions and laid down fire from their tanks, mortars, and artillery. Snipers took out any commanders that they could and called in fast air units to hit the beach hard.

At sea the armada continued to slug it out with the enemy launching missiles at them. Three ships had been hit, only one of them suffered major damage as its engines were hit. It being a nuclear powered cruiser, was starting to over heat. The crew made a last minute call to sink the ship after evacuating all of the crew and loading its last missiles and rounds to be automatically fired before explosives would sink the ship.

Ooc: sorry if this post kinda sucks, but my hands are freezing so its hard to think and even harder to type and hold up my iPad that I'm using at the same time.

TELL ME ABOUT IT.

Also, it seems you were a bit hasty writing this...you may want to make it a bit more realistic. I know Godmod is supposed to be kept in TG, but I'm afraid everyone will spam you if I don't say this.

[The 22nd Parallel]

Pyotr stood, as always, at the bridge of the Hellfire. He stared out through the large glass windows infront of him, towards the distant coastline, looking through a pair of high-powered binoculars.
"Holy fuck. They just soaked the beachhead in napalm. Poor sons of bitches." He turned to one of his aides. "Send in another wave. This time, load up half the Kazatlans with Valkyrie tanks and the other half with engineers."
"Aye." The man said, before returning to his post.

-Two Hours Later-

Arman lay in the dirt, amongst ash, blood, and glass. Many of his comrades lie in similar situations or dead. He looked at his arms. His right was badly burned, but his left was nothing but bone. Seared bits of flesh hung off, yet he felt no pain. He lay in a small pool of blood, however, his bleeding had stopped since his wounds had cauterized, aside from a small piece of shrapnel hanging out of his leg. He reached down and yanked it free. A small amount of blood came after it, but dried up quickly. He lie, facing the sky, smelling the burnt flesh of his friends and enemies alike, listening to the Valkalian tanks rolling in from further inland. He knew he would die here, on this god-forsaken beach, covered in blood and burned half to death, but he'd die among friends. Smoking corpses lay everywhere, and Arman felt it a good time to give up. He rolled onto his side, despite great pain, and saw two more columns of 22nd Parallel ships approaching. As they beached themselves on the shoreline and the roar of gunfire began, Arman closed his eyes.

The ramp dropped, then hit the sand hard. Tanks rolled off the landing ships by the hundreds, compacting the scorched earth and immolated bodies beneath their mighty tracks. Sappers held their ears as they ran past tanks, firing ear-shattering rounds toward the enemy defense lines. Soldiers ran, jumping over the charred corpses of their friends and family in droves as they fired their shotguns toward the enemy. RPGs sailed through the air, impacting and destroying tanks, leaving rusted, blood-soaked hulls about the beach. Ever more tanks flowed from the line of landing ships, while choppers thundered overhead, firing chains of rockets down and smashing Allied armor. The ground had been turned to a dark maroon, a mixture of blood and ash, and it was sharp with broken glass from the ICBMs and napalm. Bullets streaked through the air and explosions rocked the earth as an onslaught of 5,800 Lyran Valkyrie MBTs and 60,000 engineers armed with CSG 8-gauge shotguns and RPG-7s continued to storm up the beach amidst unceasing airstrikes and artillery barrages, spilling blood, and breaking bones in the most brutal close-quarters combat since the Mozrian War.

OOC: Agreed with Coalition. As a TA, I feel that sending an overheated nuclear reactor and 500 intercontinental ballistic missiles into the middle of a fleet is a little unrealistic. I'll wait until you modify the post to respond to your attacks. Also, ICBMs are mainly for stationary ground targets, not naval vessels. Smaller, faster, more accurate ISBMs might work a little better/be a bit more realistic.

[Unified states of North China]

100,000 Kihetai men has landed and immediately broke through the first line of SDC defense but faced heavy resistance in attacking the second line of defence. Meanwhile, 1050mm guns in the Mao Zedong fired a shell that hit a small SDC Airfield. Seeing this as an advantage, C-130 dropped parachuters to rendezvous with other paratroopers. Now the USNC Paratroopers in Kellogg island has numbered to 9,912. Capturing artillery batteries in the night, they sabotage each artillery installment and military buildings at night. USNC Paratroopers man SDC artillery as they opened fire on unexpecting SDC troops, causing heavy causalities on the unsuspecting SDC troops. Meanwhile, 12,000 Yugekitai troops have taken Mauserkwitzch but has come under fierce SDC counterattacks, losing 901 men, but ultimately beating them back. The villager in Mauserkwitzch have been forced to build a small fortress overlooking the village, using it's mortars and artillery to beat back any more counter attacks.

[Coalition State]

As the scattered remnants of the original SDC force retreated, veteran Coalition armor from the infamous 29th rushed headlong into the massive Axis invasion force. Coalition air power was at it’s finest-keeping the 22nd’s armored divisions on the lookout, firing anti-tank missiles with deadly effects. In a sense, as the 29th moved forward, the air support was the only thing keeping 22 at bay. With complete air superiority, the Joint Strike Force proved it’s name-in a impressively efficient and deadly combination of air and ground units.

The 29th made quiet an entrance-the Crankshafts, over 3 dozen of them, with 4 armored tanks or infantry squads in each helo, landed in an airfield on Mt. Harrison. A Chinese held airfield. And so, the 29th attacked the surprised and confused Chinese paratroopers, which attempted to defeat the 300-ton behemoths of Coalition steel with rifles and grenades. After the minor victory, Coalition "Spartan" self-propelled artillery vehicles began bombarding the enemy, once again establishing artillery dominance from the mountaintop airfield. As the 22nd's huge army assembled at the bottom of Mt.Harrison, the Coalition prepared to hold the fowardmost SDC base from an onslaught of 22's massive invasion. The 29th had learned, from the Herigjen War, that it’s not about who has the biggest tank-its decided by whoever has the largest shell. Coalition armor fired a two-stage shaped charge, much like the airborne Bunker Busters dropped by SDC fighter-bombers. As a result, the Coalition Diplomat Tank would prove more than a match for the 22nd’s heavy armor.

But once again, the Joint Strike Force ran into the same problem-There were just so damn many!

OOC: There is a difference between SDC and JSF. SDC troops are much less efficient, dubbed "Regular Army" forces, while the JSF is a more elite branch. So far, only the 89th Airborne is JSF. Now however, the 29th Armored, my pride and joy, has arrived. I would appreciate it if you did not kill every single one of them, they are in a sense my "signature" division.

Futhermore, this battle is between me and 22. China, if you don't mind, stay out of this one. Maybe engage the incoming Mozrian fleet. I don't know.

Also, I have been asked to give a picture of the "average" Coalition battlecuiser. Drew it myself with Shapes on paint, decently impressive, if I do say so myself:

ARMAMENT:

2 6 inch triple barrled cannons, 1 "MAC" Magnetic Railgun (capable of firing a 3 ton HE projectile at the speed of sound, though it takes almost a full 5 minutes to reload), 3 helipads, capable of holding a Challenger helo or Ambassador gunship, 2 180 MM artillery turrets (on the sides), 2 SAM launchers, torpedo nets, and finally, a Trophy system to deflect enemy tactical missiles.

Here is a picture of my Crankshaft transport, obviously not drawn by me:

And finally, a picture of my Diplomat Heavy Tank:

Most of my units are from the EndWar series, probably one of my favorite RTS' on the market.
