Early morning, Currently holding position outside the small riverside town of "Bitra"

The five T-72M's began their decent into the valley, from the north of "Bitra", in a line formation roughly 50 to 60 meters distance between each tank. The lead tank had a mine plow attached to its front hull, raised for now, but it will have to be taken out with the first volley. As soon as the tanks started down the face of the hill a line of old BMP-1's appeared on the crest of the hill and followed the T-72's with out hesitation, their were 4 of these personnel carriers with soldiers riding on top, cautiously scanning ahead of them watching for movement, or a glint of gunmetal in the early morning sun. The BMP-1s followed behind roughly 50 meters form the tanks. All of which moved at a restrained pace, as if they really didn't want to go into the valley or they didn't want to get too far ahead of follow on troops.

2nd Lt. Luther Hámund sat in his SPG-23 "Spearman" tank, he watched the first element of the enemies forces come down the valley in front of him. Pulling away from his scope he looked around the small tank destroyers interior. Looking to his left on the other side of the Auto loading mechanism the gunner sat looking though the sight of the cannon. Other than the view ports and a few screens there really wasn't a lot of anything in the turret. The SPG-23 was a wheeled vehicle very similar to the Italian Centauro B2, Just with Scandinavian influences like an advanced fire selector which included using smart missiles that could fire, with some assistance of a laser designatior, beyond visual range. Luther had dug his tank into a ditch that was just on the other side of a hedgerow. The long cannon was poking out the other side using the commanders para-scope camera to view over the hedgerow. The SPG-23's in 67th were upgraded to have these cameras similar to those found on the LGS Fennek from the German army.

"Calling all 67th, 2nd Company Call-signs this is Roman Actual, Prepare to fire on my command."

Once that order was called Luther looked at his gunner briefly before activating one of his screens to have the company wide force tracker, it showed all of the units in the company, and he zoomed out so the it would show the map of the town and the CWFT would show all the location of units in the AO there.

"Okay guys steady," Luther called over platoon vehicle comms, he was speaking to Roman 4 commanders. "Aim for the T-72M's first, then the BMP-1's and their dismounts. Smooth is slow slow is fast gentlemen."

"Roman Actual to all 67th, 2nd Company Call-Signs," The commander spoke. "Weapons Free!"

The moment Luther heard the order he tensed up, as he keyed the mic to speak to the platoon of Tank Destroyers the rest of the company fired there weapons. Tanks ahead of them in prepared positions fired there main guns shaking their camouflage netting.

"Roman 4-6 to all Roman 4 Victors," Luther said shakily "Engage at will. Over." just as he said that the tank destroyed lurched backwards pulling on its own camoflage netting as the massive gun fired making Luther grit his teeth.

Hmm, ok. Try fleshing posts up a bit and work on developing characters et cetera. I'll let you participate. What are you hoping to get out of the RP?

Definite tag. Unsure of what support i could/am able to provide (provided I'm able to provide at all, concerning world lore. Is there anything else other than the afforementioned setting that I should know? Modified geography, time period, etc?

[Cedoria]

Pleased to see posts so far! Working on my next one, which will involve the arrival of Cedorian arms to the UCA and the beginning of our more intense role in the combat. Might also start up some more overt action, if Brittanic Albion doesn't object. Mind if I made a big song and dance about your execution of diplomats? Even if they were accused of being spies, there's lots of places in the world where that sort of counter-response wouldn't play well, and I can see Cedoria using it to make propaganda hay.

No problem:_ Might be today otherwise will have to be done in a couple of days, and I'm flying most of tomorrow and will be jet-lagged, so I'll try and finish it up today:)

[Cedoria]

Post is UP!

Started some 'informational warfare' with cyber operatives and bots on the net, which are spreading Anti-Brittanic propaganda in the wake of the diplomats executions, plus the communique I've written which is the official response.

My planes have done their first drop of supplies to the UCA and are enroute to do the second. I left the results of their foray open in case Brittanic-Albion wants to have his people notice them and try to intercept. While it probably makes it more interesting to let the UCA get the supplies there as well, I wasn't just going to have them succeed without giving you a chance to intercept. Choose to notice and respond by trying to intercept or not as you pick, it's up to you, but the option is open:)


Others are welcome to respond to the execution of diplomats by Brittanic Albion in-universe as well, now that the Cedorians have started hammering them about it. Of course, how you respond publicly and what you do privately might be very different...

So hopefully I've written some stuff people can work into their own posts in the next few days or so. Like always, let me know if there are comments or queries.

[Bulgar Rouge]

Would it be okay if I only posted a response to Cedoria's call? I won't put up my main post until the others are done with theirs.

I'm fine with you responding to mine:) Should be interesting to read given the THS's... Unusual structure.

The THS won't be responding yet though, officially they're uninvolved.

Rights:) Fair point:) As I said, I'm game, so if OP has no objection I don't see why you couldn't respond.

[Imperii Magna]

I'd like to get back into RP with this. Any chance to destroy communism is welcome, and Imperii Magna would love to be involved with this, using the newly-discovered training of insurgents by China as an impetus to send "peacekeeping forces" to the Asian continent. Imperii Magna is located in modern-day Argentina + some of Brazil, and is a hyper-capitalist society with a well-developed mercenary/PMC military. Awaiting your approval, will send writing sample if I get it.

[Caracasus]

Definately interested in this, cheers to Cedoria for letting me know. OP, here's a sample of my writing. I plan to take this slow, and probably won't even get involved in any actual conflict. Here is what my opening post might look like:

Singapore - Coanol Construction and Aggregates

The complex showed very little of its actual function to the outside world. Artfully crafted treescapes and arbors slowly revealed themselves to the driver of the four door sedan as it crept, gravel crunching, up the winding drive. Space was, of course, premium - even for the consortium that had tendered almost every major construction project in the last six decades.

It was, he had to admit, rather cleverly done. The gravel path took on a large semicircle, with various buildings, car parks and even at one stage the end of the pathway obscured behind artfully crafted hedges, copses and hillocks. All to give the appearance of rolling acres of countryside. At one point the car's wheels bumped and clacked over a wooden bridge, thrumming from one plank to the next. Underneath, great orange carp basked lazily in the frozen winter sun.

The next car park, the one second closest to the entrance was his target. The closest would be reserved for executive members and visiting dignitaries - far less chance of the people who used that spending a significant enough amount of time in the office complexes for his purposes. He'd avoided the car parks farthest from the complex too. They'd likely lack the clearance needed for his purposes. This one? This one was perfect. Middle management, most likely. High up enough to be trusted with some degree of autonomy and access, low down enough to still receive the brunt of the workload. Hierarchies as always fascinated him.

As he walked towards the entrance, he let two memory stick thumb drives fall from his suit pocket at well placed intervals. Each contained the company logo, each had a faded sticker with what appeared to be a name on it.

He left these little seeds in the car park and strode towards the entrance. It wouldn't pay to leave too many around, but he'd leave one in the restroom and one half tucked behind the plump leather sofa in the waiting room. Then it'd be simply a matter of waiting to see if anyone took the bait.

If Magna starts sending serious military forces into Asia from outside, I'd have to send my own, particularly if they get too close. Cedoria has a Monroe Doctrine like policy regarding non-Asian states poking around without our permission or approval, so we'd definitely work conventionally against Magna if they moved

[Cedoria]

Can also vouch for Caracasus as a great RPer whose done it and done it well many times before, you may RP with them without any problems whatsoever, as Cara's writing probably shows.

[Astoria]

Got a post up finally. Finals are still in progress for me IRL so it’s a bit shorter than I wanted, but it lays the groundwork.

[Shackley]

Posted, sorry it's a bit short- I'm a bit hesitant to write anything too long for the moment as I don't want to interfere with pacing too much and also there's only so much I can come up with that's relevant. Would like to see some action soonish but I'm sure OP's got everything planned out nicely.
In any case I'm looking forward to seeing how things play out, from where I'm standing this might become the Shackleyan version of the Vietnam War in our history books. Let's just hope we don't end up losing another war too soon; three lost wars and three new governments in a row might start to look bad.

Keep up the good work chaps
