Northwest border of Llanydern, Early morning


"All units...disengage safety"

Ten TF-33 Firestorms zoom across the skies of the Llanydern coast in V formation. Their Union allies has been having problem with shoulder launch Stingers from the Dassies, and the LAA Firebird squadron had volunteer to take them out. This was their first combat mission...and for some it was their last.

"Speed, 500 kph...altitude 12 300 feet."
"Roger Firebird Leader, we'll follow.."
"DASSIES at our 2 o'clock!!! Infantry formation!"
"All units drop to 400 feet, engage as you see them."
"Roger Leader One! Turning in!"

The entire formation side dived down towards the coast, their air-frames rattling as they fell like a rock towards the ground. They passed over the heads of Dyssanian conscripts, knocking a couple off their feet with the blast of wind. Several of the TF-33s manage a burst of their cannons before they pulled out of the dive, shredding several dozen conscripts with their 20mm rounds.

"Leader One they know we're here!"
"All units turn for another pass, lower your speed..."
"Roger Leader One..."
"We got the sun behind us, kill the Stinger bearers..."

The entire formation made a wide turn, and headed toward the Dassies again, flying low as possible. With the sun behind them, it with confuse the heat seeking missiles and falter their accuracy.

"Cloud plume...it's a Stinger,...two!"
"Turn! Turn!"

The Firestorms banked hard in every direction, one Stinger flew by the formation. the second one, veer toward a FT-33. The missile exploded as it clipped the left wing. The wings broke free into pieces of metal and wood and the unlucky plane twirled towards towards the ground, exploding in a plume of fire. If they had been higher up, the pilot might had been able to bail out, but at 200 feet...there was no chance of escape.

"Firebird 3 hit!"
"He's dead!"
"Dassies coming up!"
"FIRE AT WILL!"

The cannons unloaded their 20mm rounds, plowing through feeble conscripts in their path. Bodies exploded and the conscripts ran for cover. Fresh corpse covered the ground.

"I think I got a Stinger!"
"Damn! We're going too fast...can hardly see them!"
"Slow yourself down to 200 kph! We have to take out the Stingers!"
"I got 80 rounds left!"
"My left cannon jammed!"
"Everyone turn around for another pass! Cut your throttle!"

Another wide turn, and the formation was in their sights again, 1500 yards off. The pilots throttle down their planes in effort to increase visibility and to lower the temperature of their engines.

"They're coming up!"
"Drop your flares! We got no sun behind us!"

Several makeshift flare tubes on the tails of the Firestorm fired off, spraying the air with bright burning magnesium strips. Several Stingers flew towards them. The pilots ignored them, and attempted to aim at the dot-size Stinger bearers. Again, cannon rounds ripped across the landscape.

"Fuck! I think one clip me!"
"You're not dead yet!"
"Firebird Four down!!!"
"They're shooting us from behind!!!"
"I'm getti.........static."
"Evade!"
"Which way??"
"Anyway!"

Two more stinger missiles hit their mark, their targets exploding into a shower of shrapnel and splinters. This left five planes remaining.

"Fuck!"
"This is Leader One! All units pull out! We're getting out of here! Pull up to 15 000 feet..."
"Han, what you doing!"
"I'm giving these Dassie bastards a taste of exploding shells"
"Han, come back! You fucking idiot!"

Han's Firestorm dropped out of formation and turns towards the Dysannians. He saw a figure standing still (obviously targeting him with a Stinger) and bought his cannons to bear.

"Die you fucking Dassy! This is for Lin!"

He managed to empty his ammo onto the Stinger bearer, before exploding into flames as another Stinger hits his right engine.

"Han? Han! Come in you fucking idiot!"
"He's gone..."
"Those fucking Dassies!"
"Everyone up into the clouds, we're going back to base! We'll leave the rest to the Union Air Force."

The remaining planes rose above the clouds, out of range from the Stingers, and headed back towards Eastbury Airbase.

The shotted down Firebird squadron pilots became the first Loyalist casualties in the war.

Ground attacks such as these made by Loyalist TF-33s continue for much of the week. Thier piston engines meant that their heat signatures differ from those of jet aircraft, making them ideal to fight against Stinger-armed conscripts. Nevertheless, losses were high with 32 Firestorms shot down over the week's operation.

[Delfos]

New Delfos Royal Army landed east of Llanydern and started to unload the missile launchers and few vehicles. The maritime channel deviance was now fixed on Llanydern's coast, soon an expedition will be formed for transport.

(click to show/hide)

Just that i don't stay behind, numbers, maps and locations will come soon. Would appreciate to know if there's any kind of railways around Llanyderns coast to the north?

[LLANYDERN]

OOC: The road network in Llanydern is at best patchy and at worst non-existent (the roads in towns are metaled and most of the rest are tracks farmers/industry uses), most transport is done via railway and water (both inland and salt water), the railway is split into two parts, the national and local networks, the national network is a high speed long distance network which has long straight lines across the country, the local network is a slower network which goes everywhere (all towns are linked up) which feeds into the national network (think like if Llanydern was a human body the national network is the arteries and veins while the local network is the capillaries))) so you will have ample rail transport near you and it should be able to whisk what forces you have to where you need to go reasonably quickly.

IC: minutes from the General Staff meeting day 2 of the war:
General Lebouche: The 1st are holding along the front line though they are taking casulties we estimate their effective strength to now be somewhere around 400,000 men, two of our squadrons have been reduced (the 7th and 12th ground attack) and have been amalgamated with another ground attack squadron that had taken some casualties.  The naval division is slowly being overrun however they are giving us time to get our fleet out of their bases and they have been giving better then they are taken. Some 23 towns defended by militia, air force and security troops  have been overrun, however casualties among our opponents appear to be extremely high, special mention must be made of the border troops defending facility 68, on realizing that they were about to be overrun they retreated to the ammunition store and detonated it, for those of you who have not read the briefing on it facility 68 was a major store of ordinance and the detonation of that amount of explosives in the underground position it was in caused a major explosion effect rather similar to that of a mine, the size of the crater is estimated at just under a kilometer wide.
General Estin: the 2nd and 3rd army groups have begun moving towards their jump off positions for the counter offensive it is still scheduled for 2pm today.
Colonel Demach: Border forces under Captain Estin have asked for permission to blow the dams at Yeggin, she believes that the flood will cause major problems to Dysanii forces especially to their crossing the Yegger river, It is my opinion that we should accede to her request.

Northwest Border of Llanydern, Coordinates 1667E, 208S        Day 5 noon

"Scouts back!" a private call out as a Loyalist truck approached Base A, the operational hub of the First SID.

Private:"Lieutenant! We got a huge infantry pocket coming from the northeast! we spotted some towed arties too!"
Lieutenant:"Commander! Infantry movement with arty support, I think they're try to take out Llanydern bunkers in our south!"
Commander: "How many, private?
Private: 2000 plus infantry, we counted five howitzer trucks...maybe more. We didn't get a look at their rear.
Commander: Lieutenant, who's our nearest support?
Lieutenant: The Union regiment and the Grand Marshal went off this morning to take out a conscript camp, nearest Llanydern troops are 20 kilometres east of here.
Commander: Guess this is our job, radio Eastbury for air support. Private, show me where you saw them on the map!
Private: Yes sir!
----------------------------------------
Lieutenant: We got three regiments and the trucks. Here come the other Head Commanders.
Commander Ei: We can't use the trucks, we're short on fuel. Afternoon, Commanders!
Commander Asu: What's this I hear about a conscript pocket with arties?
Commander Ei: We're gonna cut ahead of them, and set up a ambush. There's a nice hill here we can defilade from.
Commander Hin: How far?
Lieutenant: About five miles, their moving slow, we'll get about 20 minutes to set up.
Commander Asu: Then what are we waiting for? Lets get these Dassies.
Commander Ei: Drillmasters! Assemble!
----------------------------------------
Around 1500 Loyalist jogged across the lush landscape in a column, following by trucks carrying their heavy equipment (mortars and machine guns). A running drillmaster call out to his charge.

Drillmaster: Keep those legs swinging! We done better in basic, keep it up!

The three regiments made it to the hill, which overlooked abandon farmland and grazing. A road ran down the middle.


   
Commander Ei: Commander Asu, you and your regiment are gonna take up position below this hill...right across this axis, you see those farm ditches?
Commander Asu: We'll hole up in there, set up our MG42s in the middle ditches...
Commander Ei: What I want you do is to draw in the Dassies as they cross this field. Use your mortars for that, get them to come straight towards you. They'll most likely be coming up that road.
Commander Asu: So you're gonna set up on this hill and flank them as they come?
Commander Ei: That's the idea, we'll hide behind this hill, wait until we sight them on their enfilade, and pin them down with our MG42s. For this to work, I need you to draw their attention long enough.
Commander Asu: I'm gonna need more men...
Commander Ei: Half of Hin's regiment would go with you, half with Hin to take out those arties.
Commander Asu: Let's do this then...

Asu and his men took up positions in the first row of ditches, with the mortar crew set up in the second row. The others prepared their positions on the hill.

Lieutenant: Get some Composite B up here! Set them up right here! Half kilo charge!
Deep narrow holes were dug around the top of the hill, in which the small explosives with fuse cord were drop inside.
"Drop them in now!"
"Fire in the hole!"
The fuses cords were pulled, and the chargers ran for it. Fifteen seconds later, the charges went off, blowing out the ground and creating craters big enough to fit a car in. This was the "quick trench" technique.
"MG42s into the pits! Riflemen prone across the hilltop! Fire on my word."
"Dassies! They're coming across!"
"Everyone down!"

Everyone kept quiet on the hill, but in the second ditch below, the mortar teams were firing at the conscripts from 2 000 yards away. 60mm rounds landed around the loose and disorderly formation of conscripted Dysannians. The mortars got their attention, and they began jogging across the road towards the ditches.

Commander Asu: "Their coming! Get ready!"
Drillmaster: "Don't shoot till they're at 400 yards!"


------------------------------------------------------
The conscripts passed the axis of the hill, their AK-47s spraying as they ran. At 300 yards, the Loyalist open fire on the swarm, the MG-42 machine guns mowing down conscripts as they approach the trenches. A few seconds later, the Loyalist troops on the hill open fire as well, their guns cutting across the flank of the charging conscripts. In a matter of minutes, the swarm was reduce to nothing, with stragglers running for cover but finding none. The first wave was completely annihilated.

Commander Ei: Their vanguards coming up! Second wave!
Lieutenant: They know we're here! Fire Company and Earth Company, reinforce our left flank!
Drillmaster: Yes Sir! Fire Company, move out!

The Dysannians launched a second wave, this time they were going for the hill. They were cover by their own 60 mm mortars, which began pounding the front side of hill.

"Gin, get your crew to pre-sight those mortars, take them out!"
"They're coming for us!"
"Pick them off! Don't let them take this position!"
"Incoming!"
BSSHHH
"Everyone alright?"
"They took out a MG! Jeng is dead!"
"TAKE OUT THOSE MORTARS NOW GIN!"

The second wave was repulse back as they tried to take the hill. Anyone who reached the hillside was shower with bullets from above.

"Take them down!"
"I got one!"
"The're cutting across to our rear! Get them!"
"Incoming! RPG!"
---------------------------
Commander Ei: "Good job Gin! You guys took out their mortars."
Private: "Commander, they're setting up the 105s!"
Commander Ei: "Iron Company and Wind Company come with me! Earth Company flank their left! Hin, get your men on their left!
Lieutenant: "Move out!" 

This time, it was the Loyalist that were out in the opeining. A slugging match began as the Loyalist made their way towards the Dysannian position. Commander Asu and his man moved out of the trenches to assist. Sharpshooters took out the howitzer crew from afar. In 45 minutes, the Loyalist routed the remnants of the conscripts.

"That's the last of them!"
"Hey Commander, check out these big guns!"
"Nobody touch anything, we have to take care of the wounded!"
"I need a Medic here!"

It was dusk by the time the battle was over. The Loyalist capture five intact 105mm howitzers and accompanying trucks. 2500 AK-47s and numerous RPG rockets were capture. Commander Ei and Hin took two of the 105s back to base, while Commander Asu and his men set up operations near the hill, establishing Base B. The three remaining howitzers were set up on the hill and the captured AK-47s were store in a farmhouse.

Dysanii Killed: 1780?
Loyalist Killed: 89
Loyalist Wounded: 321
 

[Dysanii]

General Jacobs was sitting near his tent, enjoying fine Varkourian smokes and cherry, when a corporal dashed up to him. "Sir!" He coughed, inhaled deeply, and spluttered again, "Sir!".

"Calm down soldier." He hated these conscripts. They were green. Fearless and devoted. But green. "Take your time." The Corporal bent over in exhaustion for several seconds, then raised himself.

"I've just received word that an entire company was wasted, about northwest from here." The General put down his glass.

"Who?"

"F Company, sir." The General pondered this. He could not have anything stalling his advance, especially as he had to push forward so General Doug's Dysanii regulars could move up from the rear. There had been minor airborne attacks from the UASS, but the F-15 were finally operational and air activity from UASS forces had significantly dropped. He decided that he needed to push these commies. Push them hard.

----

Within an hour, Jacobs had assembled his officers and was discussing his plans with them.

"Gentleman, I believe it is time to push deeper in. We've had reinforcements sent up from the main force, bolstering our ranks with trained Dysanian troops and decent equipment." He glanced over the map of the border, and pointed to an area northwest. "This is where F Company we're..." He paused. "...annihilated. We have had limited control of this region, and I don't want to be bogged down in this position too long, save we be withered away by these infernal UASS types." He nodded as a plan formed in his head. "Northwest. That, my friends, is where we need to strike. That will cut off their supply lines in this area, and give us breathing space with which we can use to push our attack home." He looked at Colonel Jerry. "Jer, I want you to take your boys and clear the northwest. I'll give you the best I can muster. You'll be supported with constant aerial strikes, artillery and Challenger 1 main battle tanks." The colonel nodded. "I'm also giving you Major Duncan's and Colonel Green's men. That should give you about 90,000 personnel. 1,800 tanks. 700 F-15's. I need you to disable their supplies and airfields in this area and make it a stable divide. Can it be done?" The colonel smiled. "Hell Jacobs, I could take Llanydern with that!" The men laughed, and Colonel Jerry exited the tent.

----

It was about 6 o'clock when the first Dysanian conscripts began moving across the open fields. The termination of F Company was still fresh in their minds, and they had pledged to take this ground back, and once that was done, it could be used to funnel through countless thousands of Dysanian regulars, crack troops that could exploit a gap in the UASS's ragged defense lines. Sweet revenge was coming.

[Zimmerwald]

The "plains" on General Antigone's map had turned out to be a desert, where the cover was nonexistant, as were the roads.  This wasn't a problem, as they had made good speed north over the packed dry sand.  The column was far north enough to hear faint explosions from the site of the main battle at the border.  Still too far away to call for air support from the carrier, the column turned west, in order to avoid the main battle and come up on Dysanii forces from behind.

General Antigone surveyed her small force with dismay.  1500 soldiers , five hundred of them tied up in tanks and artillery.  Llanydern had been reporting encounters with as much as four hundred thousand men at one time.  Still, this was what they were trained to do.  Gallipoli-Chinese military doctrine focused on guerilla-type warfare.  The sounds of battle grew fainter as they turned away west.

Llanydern and the Council have requested your aid.

Admiral ibn-Azer, Gallipoli-China

[Validus]

To: Gallipoli-China
From: The Valideen War Council

By Order of the President and Prime Minister of Validus. We offer to send an expeditionary force to assist in your campaign. The forces will be placed under your Nations Combat Commanders. This decision was made to help limit confusion in the war. The Force we offer numbers 60,000 Combat Arms Personnel: 35,000 Infantry, 12,000 Armour, 3000 Artillery, 6000 Combat Engineers, and finally 4000 Special operators. We will also be sending a support group of 120,000 soldiers which brings the total number of soldiers we are willing to Send to 180,000. These numbers only include ground forces as we are not willing to put our Naval forces nor our Air forces under the command of a foreign General. The force could be ready in 5 days once requested.

Signed: War Council, New Sheridan, Validus

OOC: If you do accept I you can deploy these forces, however the reason I am placing them under the Control of the G-C is that I am not going to have access to a Computer 2 months due to Basic Training with the Communication Reserve. My troops are professional Soldiers, all of whom are trained to the absolute best they could be. They use CADPAT camo (both Arid, temperate, and the Arctic) and Canadian Weapons. . . (the Main battle tank for the Expeditionary force is the Leopard 2A6M. . . accompanied by the Sabre Medium Tank. Artillery is the M777 155-mm Howitzer and the LG 1 MARK II 105-MM HOWITZER. the IFV is the LAV-III and the Warrior IFV. Recce is done by the Coyote DFSV/RECCE vehicle. . . well ya. . .

IF you choose to take control of this Contingent then dont have them burning villages and shooting civies. . . cause they wouldnt. . . each soldier has a Gas mask easily on hand... vehicles are NBCR protected... anyway ya just reply to this if you want to take control of the contingent.

[Khem]

OOC:sorry guys but current lack of steady internet will make it difficult to do this war bit. so control of my troops gos over to my old friend GC.

OOC: And suddenly I'm in control of three armies...

I'll write more in this post in a while; I must first coodinate what everybody's doing!

IC:

To: Valideen War Council

Your aid is greatly appreciated, though it will be difficult to transport these personell to the theatre of conflict without Valideen transport units.  We plan on using these units in northern Easteros, to compliment whatever force Uichi Ryu is able to commit to the fight against Dysanii.

Feng Hu, Defense Committee Chairman, Gallipoli-China

In Uichi Ryu, all was being made ready.  Thousands upon thousands of soldiers, tanks, supply vehicles, artillery, and tons of impedimenta were massed near the southeast shores, along with hundreds of transports.  These women had parted from their partners days or weeks ago, but they were fresh in their minds as they boarded the transports, endless rows and columns marching under a steel-grey sky.  The transports rocked in the wind, violently at first and then more gently as they were weighed down by masses of bodies.

The Uichi Ryans were going beyond the call of duty.  They were only bound to expel Dysanii forces from Llanydern's soil; they were destined to land in Southern Ryazania.  The Dysanii would break upon the walls of the Loyalist, Llanydern, Delfian, G-C, and Union forces in the south, and be destroyed from the north.  That at least was the plan.

A flyover of F-22s heralded the beginning of movement for the armada.  Fleets of combat ships and submarines had gone ahead to clear the area for the transports; there was some trouble with Dysanii ships, but nothing that would hamper movement or landing severely.  The ships churned the water to foam as they sped south, to rendezvous with destiny.


In the north of Uichi Ryu, however, all was quiet.  The troop concentrations of the south did not exist here; bases were few.  They would have to be; any more, and the rainforest would swallow them, eat them alive.  Plants were huge here.  All plants.  Insect-eaters became man-eaters in the north of Uichi Ryu.  A section of the forest burst into flames, heralding the arrival of Dysanii forces, but there was no real cause for worry.  The bases emptied, the women inside disappearing into the depths of the forest, leaving no remaining sign of human habitation.

It would be enough to harass the Dysanii, bog them down in what they would only know as hell, though there was beauty here.  And if they got through the forest, the garrisons at the northern cities hadn't been completely depleted by the mobilization.

Base A (Northwest of Llanydern), Coordinates 1667E, 208S        Day 6 dusk

"Commander Ei! The Marshal's back!"

Battered troops appeared across the horizons, all were on foot. Their faces were smear with dirt and dried blood. They were exhausted from two days of straight operation. Commander Ei approached a weary Lieutenant.   

Commander:"Where's the Marshal?"
Lieutenant:"He's dead..."
Commander:"Dead! How?"
Lieutenant:"We took out the conscript camp, but we met up with a Dassie division on the way back, with fucking tanks and everything. Beat the shit out of us, and the Marshal try to lead them away from the rest of us...RPG took out his truck. Mine and three other regiments manage to escape through the woods, but 2nd Regiment and 4th regiment were beat the shit out of...I think the same goes for Marshal's regiment."
"Heaven..."
----------------------------------
The remaining seven Commanders of SID A assembled in the CQ tent.
Commander Tai: Five thousand men...a least. They weren't all conscripts either. Their tanks rounded us up and shot us to pieces with HEAT rounds. We had to go through the jungle area here to escape, running southeast till we hit a clearing, then swung around to get home. We lost around 2000 men, and all our mortars... 
Commander Ei: Heavens...that's almost half the division...
Commander Jsu: There's more bad news...we think they're spearheading through this area...where you said Asu is guarding.
Commander Ei: 5000 against 500...you think he's dead?
Everyone was silent...the odds weren't in their favour.   
Commander Tai: If the Dassies had hit through this far, they'll reach inner Llanydern in no time. We'll have to stop them.
Commander Jsu: With what? We're short of men and we have no armour or anti-tank. We'll be destroy like mince meat!
Commander Hin: Last radio report said we got J-17s running in south Llanydern and 5 SID divisions heading across Llanydern to here. We lost conduct with HQ this morning when they jammed us.
Commander Ei: Let the men rest, then we'll reorganize our priorities and goals. But we can't avoid any of this, we and the Union are the only ones holding up this flank. The Llanydern and G-C are all concentrated in the middle  and west. We can't let our lines fold...
Private: CAPTAIN!!! WE GOT PLANES OVERHEAD!!!
-----------------------------------------------------   
The commanders ran out to see the commotion. Sure enough, several lights were floating up in the sky...
Commander Jsu: Fuck! Are they bombers???
Commander Hin: They're too high up!
Lieutenant: Commander! We got radio conduct, it's from the planes!
-----------------------------------------------------
"Division A, this is White Cloud Two, we're here to resupply you..."
Commander: Roger White Cloud Two, it's good to see you. The Dassies jam us, we got no line with HQ."
"That won't be a problem, we go a new satellite phone for you along with food and ammo."
Commander:"Roger White Cloud Two, good to hear some good news."
"I'm dropping off your supplies in a field 200 yards west from your position. Look for the flares..."
-----------------------------------------------------
"Alright Heng, let's drop it on them!"
The A400M Airbus dropped seven large size cargo packs, which floated down on their parachutes, hitting the ground with a thump. Inside were 38 000 ARU rations and 800 000 rounds of ammunition.  A Saletsian satellite phone was also included along with the mail bag (Many of these letters would never be read by those they were meant for).
----------------------------------------------------
Commander Ei: "HQ, this is Division A, over..."
"Who am I speaking to?"
Commander Ei: "Marshal and Commander Ei of 7th Regiment, Division A."
"this is General Bai Feng, glad you got your supplies...we're dropping off two more load tomorrow."
Commander Ei: General, you mind telling me what's going on?
"Several thousand Dassie regulars spearheaded across your area today, they're already at the Wall Line and bombarding the earwax out of the Llanydies. I figure you been left alone for size issues, but they'll be cleaning you up sooner or later.
Commander Ei: What are our orders?   
"Wait...we got 5 SIDs marching towards your position, they'll arrive by morning. I also got a special unit patch up just for Division A. Make them feel at home, you're gonna need them to kill those tanks...
Commander Ei: AT-missiles?
"Better, your very own pair of  BMP-3s..."
--------------------------------------------------
Day-7:
SID Division B to F reaches Base A after five days of driving through rugged countryside.
Commander Asu of the Loyalist Army was force to retreat to the Llanydern fort of Paligard. the Dysannian spearhead was hot behind them.

Day-8: The LAA has launch an all out air-superiority operation to clear the Northwest of Dysannian F-15s and regain the skies. Air Commander Jen Jin becomes the first Loyalist pilot to engage in a dogfight in history. He score two kills on F15 Eagles, both downed by the new Beyond Visual Range PL-12.     

10 Loyalist SIDs and an Armour Division is set to arrive in Llanydern in ten days.

[Zimmerwald]

"We should be within radio range of the Loyalist forces now.  Begin broadcasting."

This particular flight of J-10s was the only G-C air squadron in the air not devoted to scouting for Dysanii ships.  It had been detailed to fly cover over the Chinese Loyalist ground forces to help them hold their line, but, as they had been told before taking off into the greying sky, nobody knew what exactly the Loyalist forces would need.  In all probability they would need the shore bombarded.  So it was the primary mission of this squadron to find out what was necessary, and only then to fight.

This is what any Loyalist reciever on the ground would hear: "This is the Gallipoli-Chinese overseas naval squadron, here to assist Chinese Loyalist.  Just tell us what to do, and we'll do it."  The pilots had been given tape recorders to hold up to their radios so they wouldn't have to speak this message.  It repeated over and over again until #3 recieved a return signal.

[Union]

Lieutenant: "Commander Ei, we're picking up audio on the old radio...they say they're Gallipoli!"

The Commander pick up the radio, who could it be? They could be Dysannians pretending to be Galli-Chinese, if they weren't, why not contact them on the satellite phone.

Commander: "Divison A, UASS contingent, who am I speaking to?"
Radio: "...naval squadron, here to assist Chinese Loyalist.  Just tell us..."
Commander: "It's a recording...I repeat, Division A, UASS contingent, identify yourself broadcaster..."
Radio: "This is the Gallipoli-Chinese overseas naval... this is Chengdu One of G-C naval sqaudron, over..."
Commander:"Fire Fire Burn..."
Radio:"...Burn Burn Fire..."
Commander:"Friendly ID acknowlegde. This is Commander of Ei of Division A. You mind covering us from enemy fighter-bombers? We're open and without any AA weapons."

We will use our own transports to get our men and equipment to the front, as our vessels and planes are designed to carry this armies equipment. The Transports will leave when the soldiers are ready. They will be under the control of Valideen Maritime Command, however will follow directions from your Admiralty. Our ships and aircraft will only act in self defence and will not be used to engage the enemy or be put under a high level of threat from the enemy. The Fleet of ships will be known as Task Force Epsilon, Epsilon will be comprised entirely of Transport vessels, Landing Vessels and Assault Vessels. There will be a second task force made up of state of the art Dominion warships which will escort TF Epsilon. This fleet will be known as Task Force Zack. Together both Task forces will make up Task Group Alpha.

For the airborne transports, they will be known as Task Flight Omicron. Omicron will be escorted by long range Fighter Escorts, developed specifically for intercontinental escorts. This flight will be known as Task Flight Sigma. Task Flight Sigma will not land however they will stay in the Air and will be refueled through in flight refueling from the Global Carrier VSS Excalibur, which will be apart of Carrier Group Theta, operating in the Straight of Xyrael.

After a long ride, 2nd and 4th New Delfos Royal Army Infantry Division reached Llanydern's defense line. The field commander, Carlos Alberto, was quite lost, started to search the area for a command center.
5 other divisions of fuzileiros (marines) were coming right behind them with the 1st NDRA Mechas division accompanied by 2 Engineering divisions, and the Lizards (special force that served in Tagrsnet).
The Precs (1st Airborne special forces - Falcões Precursores) were stationed in the seaport waiting for special orders.

All the rest was falling behind.

Alberto spotted some Llanydian troops: "Where can i find the command center?"
