Urgently requesting aid against pro-ISIS rebels [OOC]

[Diyaristan]

Well, here's the thread.

I would be concerned about GMing in this instance if:

- Diyaristan had military forces in Yarlaq at the time
- Wilayah al-Kala hadn't basically vanished from the city
- Other nations (Christoslavia, for instance) were specifically attacked there, with no chance to respond

I can only assume the poster had just capitalized on a power vacuum in the area. If that happens a second time to others' forces rather than just my defenseless civilians, though, that would be pretty clear evidence of godmoding. Unfortunately, I do not know which rebels they were supporting - the pro-ISIS ones, the ones planning to rebel against ISIS, or the relatively unknown Revolutionary Defeatists. I think it's lack of past RP experience on the poster's part...

Thoughts?

[Nachfolgia]

This is good. I am glad that there is finally a OOC thread.

[Rupudska]

I assume they'd operate supporting the 'rebels' that have been the most visible so far in the RP, that is, the pro-ISIS rebels.

Rup!!! Long time no see!!

[Christoslavia]

i agree that due to their lack of experience they may just be a tad bit confused and if he comes back we could give him a crash course

Or just show him to the sticky. Though since he's posting one-liners I'm not sure if he'd read it.

Hi! I've decided to join this role play.

Here's the link. Welcome to everyone who's decided to join, apologies for taking so long to respond to all the deployment requests.

Btw, is anyone going to provide humanitarian aid? I was planning to do so as well as deploying my Spec-Ops teams. Surely, it's a war-torn nation we're talking about, dealing with both ISIS-knockoffs and Communist rebels. Definitely not an easy feat.

[Arctica-Aleutia]

Say, is Yarlaq still held by ISIS? If not I'll need to focus my attacks elsewhere. Sorry I haven't had time to post lately.

If I've interpreted everything correctly, my forces have taken Yarlaq and are assaulting retreating ISIS troops although I'm waiting for them to respond before I press on with any attack

[Rupudska]

I believe the rebels are currently trying to push towards the capital at the moment.

To North American Military Union:

If there's a war against the North American Military Union going to happen, I am thinking about having some of it in another thread for operations against the LFN mainland. I declared war fully expecting an endgame, being defeated, and having serious and irreversible governmental and societal changes. But be aware that:

Computers are banned in the LFN except for a few hackers in the Party Center, let alone Internet access. Internet-based counter-propaganda is not likely to work except in cases where territory is already liberated from the LFN and computers, plus infrastructure, are donated.

Civil rights of any kind are unimaginable. Gatherings of less than three people or more than 15, or with anyone outside their assigned "commune", are seen as suspicious and dealt with accordingly.

No true population centers exist, having been violently depopulated. The capital of Engelstopia has at maximum 15 residents, though mines and factories can temporarily swell to thousands during field-trip production drives. Political rallies have also happened in Engelstopia.

Past propaganda has equated diplomatic gifts and foreign aid with fearful foreign bourgeoisie being forced to pay tribute to the working class by the formidable weaponry of "its" Revolutionary Army.

The Party Center and its "militant vanguard" (armed forces), in past incidents, has demonstrated its complete disregard for civilian lives and makes no distinction between civilians and military. Instances of cannibalism have been reported during hardship times where civilians were "asked to make the ultimate sacrifice for the Revolution".

The best chance for defeating the DRLFN lies in cutting off channels of addictive substances, which are used as a tool of population control and cannot be domestically manufactured. The growing autonomy of local military units in practice as central Party control mechanisms weaken from the purges can be used as a source of internal friction as long as Political Freedoms remain above "Unheard Of"; they seem to be going up no matter what I try to do to push them down.

Hello Arengin here. I couldn't hold but be tmepted by this.

can i bomb the rebels to the stone age????

[Emmerian Republic]

So, whose side is fighting who?

[Rupudska]

So, whose side is fighting who?

As far as I know it's everyone (except LFN, who's supporting the ISIS rebels, and Neuwland, who's being an isolationist babby) against the ISIS rebels.

Speaking of which LFN would you mind if some of my Tornadoes take out some of your forces near Izriktar? What would your forces there be anyway?

UPDATE: The Ju-500's capabilities will be put down as soon as I'm sure what they are. For now assume they're similar to a modernized B-52 or Tu-95.

[Liberated Free Nations]

I wouldn't mind at all. A lot of tanks (almost all 1,500) and artillery are there, backed by intermediate-range ballistic missiles. There's a few flak cannons, but not enough to make an aerial attack impossible. The deadliest thing in our arsenal is possibly missile-mounted biological weapons, which shouldn't affect air units.

Foot soldiers (numbering about 400 in Izriktar as the rest disperse all over the country) are equipped to operate in an NBC environment and mostly have experience in irregular warfare, but not conventional so well.

[Austria-Bohemia-Hungary]

Would it be useful to mention at this stage that the Emperordom of Ostmark (moi), and the Empire of Fusou (my alt) and possibly Rupudska (Holy Romagnan Empire of Karlsland)'s SOP in case of biological or chemical agents attack is basically can of worms? Open it and you get to be responsible for having VX and Novichok fired at you from MLRS batteries. :3 Of course we would have no issues with it if OP decides to ban CBRN warfare from his thread, but if not... I haven't dropped Novichok on somebody ever. :p
Also scrounging up the Fuso post now.

Well as long as you don't use it on us, you'll be fine.

If you do though you can expect it to rain VX and snow anthrax :3

[Wilayah al-Kala]

Diyaristan here. I figure I might as well announce it at last: LFN is one of my alts. I threw them in knowing ISIS wasn't going to last much longer with all this force arrayed against them, and wanted to make the fight slightly fairer...

The LFN has a confirmed stockpile of its own Novichok agents (the last post on page 1) and is crazy enough to launch them. Yes, they will probably get annihilated along with ISIS. And defeat will be sparking a major uprising in their country after Diyaristan is finally safe, whether the international community ultimately chooses to get involved there afterward or not.

[Austria-Bohemia-Hungary]

K then... gloves off it is I presume? :P
ORBAT is forthcoming.
