Commander Dean - OPCOM on the MZS Ellis
"What's the status of the Kiekergaard and Strategy T?", he asked as missiles started flying.
"Well, it's kinda beside the point since Cal's started already.
Deploy the DPZ06 groups they are to begin attack against the planned targets on the island once the Calie have that wall down and we have line-of-sight."
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Captain Amaral Scuhnada
"Make sure you don't hit the spire, but you can fire at things within 200 feet without posing a threat. These are particle weapons after all, so they pose no shockwave threat from landing.
The missile systems indicated on this map are priority targets.
Go and avenge the HMS Jackdaw."
Moments later, several white beams shot across the water towards the Megamantics island. Followed by a flurry of cruise missiles from the MZS Ellis escorts.
The MZS Hneida approached the HMS Jackdaw to offer medical and evacuation assistance.

The Peregrine carrier group sent a message to the Holmbergsvania forces and did something very unexpected.
"This sea lord maxima of the eagle fleet, in the interest of our common alie my fleet and other commonwealth ships in this theatre at this time we will take your command.
please reply."

The HMS jackdaw kept firing at the wall and went silver. They stopped using conventional shells and started using crystalline shells that, due the commonwealth's advanced materiel science they were capable of penetrating deeper. The walls had little chance, the commonwealth rarely used them as they preferred to keep their capabilities to themselves.
--- Kan swore in saeie, He didn't think the navy was in position to act yet. The craft deployed by the bombers sprang to life. They were in front of the lines, the drones looked like giant spiders they moved fast and were very nimble. It was the first time they had been used in battle.
They were quite capable of dodging shells and getting in close. The Marines watched them, they had never seen these things before, but they seemed to be ideal tank killers. A static defence was not natural to the marines, they were jumpy, either go a head or drop back, don't make your self a target by staying still.

In a remote corner of Aatuylva, an unremarkable train came to a stop amidst the jungle. Specialized pipes were extended, and began funneling the steam from it's boilers to an area sixty yards forward and to the left of it's actual position under the canopy. One of the many unmarked shipping containers it was carrying opened up from the top, revealing the very deadly cargo contained within.
A single Vashtarrrohntairro-17 intercontinental ballistic missile, armed with conventional high explosive ammunition was lifted up to firing position, having already been fueled some forty minutes previous during the last command update of crisis in New Gracaria. The top of the missile could perhaps be seen through the treetops, but it was but an odd green oddity amidst a sea of green. It was but one amongst many of alternating chemical, conventional, and nuclear warheads in the Aatuylvan Strategic Rocket Forces, with nuclear being the minority among them. This would be the first time they have used them on any foe.
The Centurion in command made one final call, back to high-command, to confirm the target coordinates.
-----------------------------------------------------
"I need those coordinates, Your Majesty. Don't you have any satellites you can patch me into? Or at the very least, the latitude and longitude of where the forces will be in, ohh, 27 minutes?"
------------------------------------------------------
"They're going to what."
The two Airdaemons under military control immediately changed their course, getting ready to drop their charges a good half a mile or more from their original choice, as the firefighting plane made it's pass over the emerging Megamantics vehicles, white phosphorous gliding down from the sky like a malevolent cloud of heat and death.
"This is Airdaemon Alpha Zero One, please confirm, they're going to launch a rocket where?"

Captain Walton Emrick I watched the Cali ship keep firing at the walls, but to no avail. The wall was plated in Sphereworld Plate. If they do any damage, then it'll be at least a couple days from now. A missile from Megamantics hit the ship. Despite the armor that IX ordered the ship fitted with, we're taking on water. I don't think we'll stay afloat for very long. "Take us to shore! Beach us so we don't sink!" I said. I hope this works. Emperor Isaiah Xaimoungkhoun "Coordinates... uh... hold on." I had the Battlestation lock onto a location between the defenses and the city and then transmit the coordinates to Stidham. "That should work I think." Captain Masako Tijerina The white phosphorus rained down on the tanks earning a bit of a cheer from our forces. Then there were those... robot things. I fired at the nearest one since I don't trust robots.

A marine shouted "They are ours, you don't like em, we'll take their defence."
--- The SBS types had come up with a plan, the drones were all running and jumping towards the centre of the enemy forces, all but two.
--- Kan saw it "those are our drones my people are moving to out flank and get behind the enemy. The other southern forces seem to have clicked on the plan. We get our well trained forces behind them and cut the supply lines and you pull back and stretch them. I can use our marines to make the punch but I need your special forces to do the damage.
We need everything we have to use that hole."

Lt. General Masako Tijerina "That's odd. But alright. Better not shoot at us or I'll kill them and you." Emperor Isaiah Xaimoungkhoun "Special forces... that's a good one... We have nothing like that anymore. At least, not on the island." That was a lie of course. "Still, if I can find a few, I can send some Goliaths to help."

Kan looked and said "Don't hold out on me, we need every thing we have behind the lines. I know special forces, they are best behind lines. I'm going with them. Don't hold out...I mean really don't hold out. Forty years of experience is going with me and over three hundred between the SBS guys."
Kan picked up his rifle and smiled as he fitted his bayonet to his assault rifle "You guys, we are trying to buy you time, don't hold out on us."

Emperor Isaiah Xaimoungkhoun I grabbed him by the collar. "Stop. Keep your soldiers in cover for now. There's a missile strike inbound from Aatuylva. It'll destroy most of Megamantics's forces. You attacking now would be suicide. "You might have 40 years, but I have three times that. I know to wait in this case. Your plan has merit, but we have to wait. Give us a little more time to coordinate your attack and get my Goliaths here."

The Centurion placed the phone back onto the receiver, and began rattling out coordinates to be programmed into the targeting computer attached to the missile. Originally it was programmed to strike an industrial center in Cal, but it was being redirected towards New Gracaria.
After a few minutes he was tapped on the shoulder. It was ready.
The checklist was gone through, the preparations were made, but in the end, it was still up to the Centurion whether or not to launch.
"MIRV away, my comrades..."
"You Haveriggs are so sentimental."
The VTT-17 lifted off, a brief flash of fire seen no doubt by foreign satellites as it launches. Only one, and not headed where they were expecting it to do, either...
-------------------------------
"Alright, get ready to bug-out boys, the bird is on the way..."
The pilot prayed silently to the gods that he wasn't sending these men to their deaths, then quickly dismissed the thought as the cargo bays opened and over two hundred men and women piled out of the two Airdaemons, along with their tanks, equipment, and supplies, behind the lines of the Aneans.
The two ponderous planes turned after disgorging their precious cargoes, to make a pass on the approaching column in order to keep it in place for the massive conventional payload on the way.
One of the pilots hoped briefly that the parachutes were working, and the gliders for the tanks had not failed, but to voice such concerns now...

Kan looked at IX "You have one point, but the further behind lines I can get my SBS guys the more damage they can do to them. I will get the drones to pull as much fire and tanks to the targeted area. But my people are a mobile force and I still can't beleive you didn't attack there main force on the island."
"The commonwealth navy is taking hits to keep them out of the fight, You might have rules about wars in this place, but we don't. No one sticks to them anyway.
pull back a bit and let my marines' surprises kill a few tanks. Get me fuel to the highway so I can refuel my fighter bombers and let me take my f**king gloves off."

Emperor Isaiah Xaimoungkhoun "I gave you an order. I hate to do this, but I am ordering you to keep your soldiers in cover until the missile strike. "As for the planes, you haven't told me what fuel they use. Chances are it's nothing we use." I heard artillery in the distance. It's about time. Not too long after, there were explosions in the fields. "Well, our artillery is in position finally. They'll be shelling the tanks, Aatuylva has a missile inbound, and we can probably hold for a little while. Just sit tight and I'll see what I can do fairly soon. "Do me favor. Don't criticize my commands please. I have been shot, run over, and stressed today. I just want my island back under Anean control."

Kan smiled "So a bad day."
He hit his ear piece "Go to dens, repeat go to dens, in coming"
Kan smiled "The sooner you get that the sooner my lot can go home, we are all for that....where is the targeting area...I could use the drones to get the tanks under it."

Emperor Isaiah Xaimoungkhoun "Just the plains as a whole. Everything will probably get hit other than my defenses. "I am not in a rush to get anyone off the island. And the tanks will come straight at us, not stopping. You should put the drones in front to slow them down and catch as many as possible in the zone."

SPRT Captain Eloy Bjorklund, New Astrapolis
Megamantics troops never saw us coming. They sent 4,500 out into the fields leaving a mere 500 in the city. Meanwhile I managed to outfit the remaining New Astrapolis police officers in riot gear and assault rifles and such.
There's 800 of us, none with formal military training, but it's not hard to aim and shoot. Our first two lines have riot shields and are moving down the main road to the city hall 40 wide. The rest of us are the same width and make up the next 18 lines.
I am in the 4th line near the middle with an SMG. The smaller recon one since that's all that was left by the time I got to an armory.
According to the Federal Police, we should have air support on the way to the city. Gunships primarily. They also have a few transport helicopters for officers as well.
It's good to know that, while our military... excuse me, militia... is taking their time, we're out here doing something to preserve the Empire.
Megamantics forces at the City Hall fired on the shields at the front as we entered the plaza where thousands were killed and still lie. We have to step over the bodies in order to advance. While not something I want to do, it must be done.
Our people with grenade launchers raised their weapons and fired at Megamantics. The explosions made the gunfire stop for a little bit. Some of the rows broke formation, as planned, and went through the alleys to try to get behind Megamantics.
I, meanwhile, got on my radio to the NGDF in the north. "This is Captain Bjorklund of the New Astrapolis Police Department. We are engaging Megamantics forces at the city hall and request assistance."--- OOC: SPRT stands for Special Police Response Team. Basically the Anean SWAT. The Federal Police is basically the FBI of the Empire. Of course, like all police forces, they have capability to fight in warzones.
