FCL/Azan roleplay thread, part 2

[Urban Ranger]

Aboard heavy crusier Paris Commune, somewhere in FCL waters

Fleet Captain Alice Yung was satisfied with the progress so far. Since the blockade had begun, Battlegroup Thelon had seized tons of ammunitions, impounded a few oil tankers, and sank a few FCL warships running the blockade.

"Eagle 1," the early warning plane flying up there, had detected a couple of vessels moving inbound, and she had dispatched a small squadron to investigate.

Blip! A window popped up on the comm console.

"Sir, " Captain Valov of the destroyer Leningrad said, "a couple of military transports are attempting to run the blockade. We have tried to signal them but they refused to acknowledge."

"Take any and all actions you deem appropiate, captain." Yung replied.

"Yes sir," Valov replied. Then the window disappeared.

This wasn't so bad, she thought. As long as the Cerooans were holding their end, FCL would not have anything to fight with, soon.

[Mr. President]

After consultations with their allies, the Karakans, static for some time, were on the move again. Bolstered by the arrival of the 5th Mechanized Infantry and the Kyralian Highlanders, and flush with confidence after the battle for Roshem, a sizable force was pushing up the road towards After.

Colonel Suzuki was not accompanying them, and could not stop thinking about it. By report, the forces in After were numerous and well-armed. But his men would be supported by long-range missiles fired from the three destroyers just off Roshem harbor. A special unit with expertise in pinpointing targets was accompanying his infantrymen.

Besides, by the time shooting started, the After garrison might have been outflanked by the seaborne attack on Neve Al. And pressuring After would pressure the left flank of the Frankychanlanders in Tal Zach, with their right already sundered by the drive towards Hofesh.

Still, Suzuki couldn't help but worry a little . . .

Cerooan First Fleet, north of FCL

No Hive ships were crossing the straits any more. Naval supremecy was ensured in the northern sector. Another victory for the Cerooan Navy.
Osprey-class Fighters patrolled the skies, keeping an eye out for FCL submarines as the fleet finally moved slowly into FCL waters.
INS Endeavour led the movement, and was the first to launch a salvo of cruise missiles.

INS Endeavour, Bridge
"Captain Landeros- missiles are away, targeted at FCL central command"
"Have the Rioca, Linsey and Rydale launch too. All others to stand by."
Landeros surveyed Frankychanland from the window, the sun had not long risen and the eerie fog was starting to roll back up the hills. 'It would take about twenty minutes for the missiles to reach their target, just in time to catch FCL military leaders arriving for work, and maybe the general himself' he thought, 'Of course, the FCL AA batteries were up-and-running now- how effective would the be against cruise missiles?'

Cerooan Officers' Mess, Cerooan Landing Site, North West Azan
"Why the hell do we have to put up with those Uldi's hanging around?" Major Biggs was none to happy with the Auldoninnan force arriving at the Cerooan base camp.
"Because they are hear at the request of the Azani people too," replied General Caraway, "as long as they stay away from our port and do not cross the border, we are to cooperate"
"Sir, most of our boys have headed up into the hills, trying to make it accross to the other highway- if they do try something how are we to stop them?" came the Major's reponse.
"I'm sure they won't- the port and the harbour town are secure with the Sarali docked there, the Guardinan marines from their fleet will be landing there this afternoon."
"And if the try to cross the border?"
"We won't stop them, it's their funeral- they will be far outnumbered if they reach Franksinatra, I made it clear to the Auldoninnan General when we spoke that if he corssed the border under no circumstances will we support them"
"So you didn't tell him about all the FCL troops?"
"That's ADU intelligence boy, and that's how it will stay".

OOC: the last update of the grand map will have to wait. It's almost the end of the semester over here. Then, exams...

Code White

It was time. after a long period of stalemate, a new offensive plan was devised, in order to break the stalemate in the plains. And now, the signal was given to act. Captain Youval Paz, commander of the 901th Regiment (Airborn) recieved the orders: They would assist in the 3ID's and the 11AD's assault on woodlands northeast of Roshem, by being inserted on the other side of the woods, and distrupting supply lines, and communications. They'll be inserted after the ground attack has begun. "You better get some sleep". There might be trouble.

36 hours later, the landed into the fray of busy FCL supply convoys, and ammo depots...

General Peterson wandered past the oval and saw his boys palying football. He enjoyed the quiet time his troops had earned. This war had been gonig on too long and many of his troops should be playing football back home in the national championships, not here on this makeshift playing field. He looked over to the other side of the field and saw some Ceroo soldeirs pointing and laughing at his guys. They didnt understand the Auldoninian version of football and combined with their bias agaisnt them usually tryed to upset the boys. He was glad his troops never responded, they were too mature to paly the silly mindgames that the Ceroo played, calling his men Uldis and laughing at their sports. The Ceroo had made life difficult since arrving. Every request had to be filled in triplicate then handled by at least five different officers before being rejected on first application and then having to re do the whole process again before finally getting the supplies they needed. Yes they were helping but they made it obvious the Auldonians were not wanted.

Once the Highway south was clean they would no longer need the ceroo anyway. Supplies would be accessable. He actually wondered what the hell the Ceroo had been doing here for the duration of the war. Not much activity down the west coast. All supplies were through the central highwasy, which the ceroo were only just now heading for. He hoped they would make it, as he had seen satellite images showing many a FCL division holding that highway and also the occasional Hive trooper was known to hlep defend the supply line south.

He had shown all his Satellite images to the ceroo leader but he scoffed and had said the Ceroo needed none of the Info as they had their own. Oh well thought the General , if Ceroo wanted to paly silly games that was ok. His troops were only here as part of the overall plan. Once the main forces arrived he would be leaving here. He had just receieved details of the immenent arrival of more armoured divisions and the first allotment of Apache Helicopters. They already outnumbered the Ceroo on the border, once the rest arrived he knew the Ceroo would be fearful so he would have to move most of his troops away from the ceroo camp.

He gave up thinking about the ceroo and went back to his wander around the base.

[Mr. President]

Suzuki was now in the basement of the House of Death, adopted by the Karakan soldiers as their headquarters in Roshem, staring at a huge map on the wall. "This one," the Azani shopkeeper who had provided it had said, "has enough detail for you to track the rabbits' movements!" And it almost did, with everything from rivers to chain link fences marked.

He was using it right now to track his troops' movement up the road. Not all the way to After, of course - that would be downright suicidal. But they were close enough that the Frankychanlanders would know about them. And they had found a position that hopefully would allow them to stop any sudden advances in that direction, and tighten the allied push on north-central Azan.

Soon he wouldn't have to worry about it too much any more, as General Tapia was coming in today. The 5th Mechanized was his command, after all. He would be taking charge of the attack, while Suzuki moved to more administrative duties: co-ordinating with the other commanders, overseeing logistics. Suzuki had enjoyed playing a general, but wouldn't begrudge Tapia the responsibility.

Noosland Command, Roshem

General Leo Vijinee looked around the table at the gathered technicians, analysts, planners, and everybody else who made up his "brain."

He spoke, "So, was our intelligence correct?"

"Mostly, sir," said Shubu Divi-Somba, an expert in military hardware. He said into his headset, "lights."

The lights dimmed. He tapped a few keys. Rows of laser diodes weaved an object in thin air, almost like the real thing.

"AK-47," said the general.

"Almost. It's an improved version used by the bulk of FCL grunts. An excellent choice: simple, reliable, lethal. One of their infantry divisions in a mass charge can do a number on one of ours defending in position.

"Happily, our doctrines call for avoidance of such frontal encounters."

He tapped some more keys and another rifle appeared in mid-air, side by side. It was smaller and more slender than the FCL one.

"Ours, the W-13 assault rifle. It uses a smaller calibre size, in exchange of more bullets, higher initial velocity, and a greater firing rate. Field tests show no diffences in accuracy out to a range of 80m. However, you can slap on a mini-grenade launcher on ours."

"What do you suggest, Shubu?"

"Mobility, sir, like always."

"As I thought."
