Big Huge War Thread: Part VI

[General_BT]

OOC: If someone already has the Spratlys, then ignore the first part of this post.
And will anyone please respond to my weapon offers? Its a chance to make some money...

SAK Marines Land on Spratly Islands!
Yesterday the 1st Marine Regiment landed upon various islets of the Spratly Islands, proclaiming them part of the SAK.

"The claim of the former state of Vietnam has been realized," His Majesty stated in a public broadcast. "The addition of these small islands, while inconsequential in terms of land area, are enormous in terms of oil and mineral wealth. These islands and the resources that lie within them will be one of the keys to improving the economic situation of our nation."

OOC: I also found out that Bangkok has small dockyards as well...

Ic:

Construction Begins to Rebuild SAK fleet!
Noting the lack of international interest in construction ships for the SAK, a long term goal has been announced; the construction of 4 homebuilt destroyers, and 10 hoembuilt frigates along the lines of the La Fayette stealth frigate designs sold to Taiwan in the late 1990s...
This entire programme is expected to take two years...

Expansion of the dockyards at Bangkok is also planned... It is hoped in three years to have a large enoguh warship dockyard at Bangkok to build vessels in teh range of 40,000 tons...

=============================================

PRIVATE COMMUNIQUE:

To: China, India, Polynesia, Japan
From: SAK

We propose the formal establishment of an Far Eastern Alliance, to further cement the bonds between our nations.
We propose:
1.) Defensive Military ALlinace
2.) Reduced tariffs upon imports in this alliance
3.) To be named: East Asian Defense Group
(Unless someone else can think of a better name...)

We hope that you will consider our offer carefully.

SIncerely,

His Highness the King of SAK

African Imperialism allowed!? Woo-hoo!

Well, Scott, that means put Liberia the UDSA color again!

[Bill3000]

A couple weeks ago, there was a referendum in the UDSA protectorites if they should fully unite into the UDSA as 3 more states. here are the results:

New Bruinswick:
Yes: 65%
No: 35%

Nova Scotia:
Yes: 57%
No: 43%

Prince Edward Island:
Yes: 81%
No: 19 %

All three of the protectorites were annexed today into the UDSA as the states of New Bruinswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. In P.E.I. , a naval base is being set up to house the UDSA Navy that is being built.

In other news, Waterbury has been fully repopulated. A memorial was placed in the city square to honor those that have died in the Waterbury Massicre.

To UK
From UDSA:

Make sure that there will be not another Waterbury Massicre. That is all we have to say.

To CW and CTA:
Our offer still holds to form a Pan-North American Alliance.

To Neo-Spartan Federation:

Welcome to the world! We would like to sign a peace treaty.

Oops, and I forgot:

From: CRME
To: CW

We agree to your proposal, you may build a military base in Northeastern Turkey by the Black Sea.

OIL EMBARGO!

Today, in response to Argentina and Chile blockading Cape Horn, all 3 Scimitar of the East nations agreed via a secret meeting at the ICQ Hotel in Ankara to declare an oil embargo on those countries.

OOC: Basically this is VERY bad for you, the vast majority of the world's oil resides in our three countries. You will only be able to get little oil, which you need lots of to fight a war, and the price of oil weill be extremely exorbirant.

[PolarisGL]

OOC: (must post here w/map) Scott, you once again forgot many of my African territories.

IC:

If China were to go to war, India WILL follow.

Greater Arabia fully supports the UK in this dispute, and advises Argentina and Chile to drop their claim on the Falklands and remove the blockade at Cape Horn.


Greater Arabia has announced that at the moment, 1152 people who have been active in the Somalian civil war will be tried before a war tribunal, to be set up in Sana. Charges vary from rape, torture and illegal possession of weapons to crimes against humanity and genocide. Still, some 48 people are still not arrested, amongst them mostly high figures in the major clans that terrorized Somalia. The II Yemen Corps will now be returned to Yemen, while the I Yemen Corps and the I Somaliland corps will remain in Somalia to stabilize the situation.

OOC: Moderator, make a final decision on Africa, please. I'm not sure on the status of Chad and a lot of other african nations, and until then, I can't post anything relevant to them.

100,000 Additional British soldiers disembarked today to reinforce the 1,500 man garrison in the Falklands and the South sandwich and South Georgia islands due to Argentine threats of "liberation." Additional transports left Britain today carring 150 Crusader tanks to reinforce the 100 already present. 50 Tanks are expected to be shipped by Hercules transports. HMS Invincible left with 2 Ticonderoga class Aegis cruisers from a resupply point in the friendly port of Lagos, Nigeria. The UK is determnined to stand fast in the defense of the islands which are predominatly british in ethnicity

It seems that Argentina has decided to blockade Cape Horn. We cannot allow this. Cape Horn is a waterway and is therefore free under international law. Let us join together and issue an ultimatum to Argentina that either they free Cape Horn or suffer. How dare they presume to blockade waterways.

________

OOC: No way Argentina has the power to blockade anything, especially not while in a standoff with the British.

Venezuela was an error, the real thing was Equador.
I bombed Quito.
I am sorry about Panama, the troops are removed.
The blockade on Cape Horn continues.

SCOTT F, Argentina needs help against the British, please?

What about New Zealand.
See ya tomorrow or wednesday or thursday.

[Mao]

just because it's unclaimed doesn't mean you can walk over them. New Zealand is has a technologically advanced armed forces, and their navy will show up. Using the moderator's absense to invade is not a good way to endear yourself. You can have the island, just be more realistic. Taking the island without any resistance is beyond unrealistic. As Sigma pointed out, your troops can't land without landing craft, which you don't have, so you'd have to take a port, which you can't do because of new zealand's defenses. at least post a few battles before you take it all over and allow other posters to respond (such as Sigma, who I'm sure feels very threatened with you in New Zealand)

BTW, Polaris, why doesn't this thread have a name? Like the last one was "March Madness", this is nothing?

Mao, here's the deal, till now no New Zealand navy has shown up.
If the moderator's fleet shows up, then we'll talk. For now, the country is ours, we have landed and control the coastline, and have at least the eastern one secured.
And who's moderator by the way?
And I like New Zealand because I can occupy and control the south Pacific.
And because it remains unclaimed.

[Mao]

you control panama? really? and do you mean just use the canal for military purposes or for anything? in which case, we'd have to declare or condemn you for interfering with international trade. same goes for cape horn

To: World
From: ICE

If the Panama Canal and Cape Horn are cut off from trade, we must act. This blatant act of piracy must not go unpunished. They cannot control waterways and have absolutely no right to them.

[Scott F]

OOC:
Will you damn people read the past threads???

Germany has already occupied Panama, to protect the independence of the canal.

Hodad, do not attack Venezuela. It is under German control. Columbia is a German protectorate. Germany is at war with Scandinavia, as is Russia. An alliance with them would mean war with the both of us. After this has been settled, we may want that base in New Zealand.

Map for new thread page:

To THE REST OF THE WORLD:
Goodbye, see you on Thursday.
Don't mess my country up.
No invading armies are admitted till then.
And the countries that wish to use the Panama Canal or Cape Horn can deliver blue prints of any new technology.
