*King Ryan simply shook his head as he read the reports of the communications between the nations as of late. But he smirked knowing he set it all off. It was now time to act, with Roma finally pulling out, the invasion could continue. The Limington first fleet has officially been ordered into the straight leading to Constantinople. Given the freedom to use whatever means needed to secure the straight and cut off traffic and to move on to the actual city. The Golden Horn is the intended center of deployment. The carrier Legacy is to station itself off the coast of the Golden Horn and coordinate the fleet from there. Bombing runs are to be conducted in advance of the fleets movement into the Constantinople area. Roads, bridges and enemy positions are all targets of the raid to cut off supplies and seperate the city from the main territory of Toumba. Convoys carrying the The Second and Third armed divisions have arrived at the Toumba border and they are to begin their march towards Constantinople, taking each town along the march in. The First Division along with the Limington police are working to discover the true identities of the members of this "Holy Army of Paradise" truly are. They have also been given free reign to interrogate how they see fit and to use what force they deem necessary to secure the nation. Limington will not back down and if need be will slaughter these people who have been led to believe they serve the lords purposes by threatening to kill hundreds and thousands of innocent people*

Roma Hawaiiana, we understand the severity of the situation in Egypt and the need to withdraw forces to Cairo. We have dispatched two highly trained medical units as long as a mobile biohazard-contamination facility to your aid. Two C130, the first carrying the aforementioned units and the second medical supplies have taken off and will be requesting landing rights in Cairo in the following hours. Given the imminent attack on Toumba this is all that we can offer for the time being.
On the war front, the Western Thrace Army has been assembled across the Evros borders, manning the frontier outposts and forts. The First and Third Armored Regiments have taken positions as well and the Missile Batteries in Thrace have been put on full alert, ordered to take immediate action on the first site of Limington forces' movement. The Bosporus Fleet has taken positions on the straits awaiting the enemy ships. It has been reported that warning shots have been taken across the bows of one of Limington's corvettes. The Second fleet of the Southern Aegean has also left harbour at Smyrni and has assumed positions off Chios and Samos , while the First Fleet has been left behind to ensure Central Aegean. Part of the First Fleet of Northern Aegean is advancing towards the straits, to reenforce the already present naval force, with a considerable part off it being stationed off Lesvos.. Antiaircraft batteries are manned and ready, while the Republic's Airforce is on red alert. Patrols are sweeping the skies, with explicit orders to shoot down any craft that violates national airspace.
To the Don of Vitosoprano: Stay out of our business and we'll stay out of yours. Keep cruising the Aegean and enjoy the sun, the sea and the beautiful women (or men). And keep in mind that if should anyone attempts to 'rape' us, as you so eloquently have put it, we'll start kicking and wooping some ass and you sure as hell won't want to be found in the middle of it all.
[Off RP- Besides, this is getting ridiculous. It seems that anyone-me included-can type in whatever the hell he/she wants and emerge victorious,no matter what the other party is responding. For instance, let's say Limingtion describes vigorously marching on, destroying the strait fleet and entering Constantinople-no questions asked,no room for answer left, and then I narrate how my glorious forces counterattack in the Aegean and capture the Aegean islands, while also attempting to land on Crete, and then the Don thinks of continuing his vacation in the Southern Aegean and at the same time expanding his operations in the Pot Producing Business of Crete and also sets foot there, and then maybe Faestos gets the idea and comes over, or even RH... get the point? I mean, how do we settle these disputes in any way that's somewhat logical and serous? -And, no Don, just rolling over and getting stepped over doesn't sink in well with me, and I somehow don't think that you would be so eager to do so in a similar situation. Anyone that has any comments, feel free to elaborate - even by PM)

(We probably need a battle calculator and some formula of knowing what number and type of units we can produce IMO)

(There are some battle calculators around-just google them-most of them developed for use in certain RPGs, but the trouble remains;each of them obviously requires the users to enter a number of variables, such as number of units, troops or even fuel and it goes without saying that this would lead to the exact same problem we're facing right now. This is probably not in my favor, but we could maybe utilize stats from sites such as nseconomy www.nseconomy.thirdgeek.com/nseconomy.php, which merely show how resources are allocated in each nation's budget. Of course that would allow powerful in terms of military and defense funds to sweep through the region, not taking into account such things as unwilling populations (in a dictatorship), insufficient civilian, medical and other support of the troops etc etc. I just don't see an objective way of resolving conflicts...Awaiting comments guys!)

(Actually I'm thinking of just such a model to produce that includes such stats and a lot more. will take a long time to come up with though, might be a month even. I might post a first draft this weekend
And I have a calc handy, it's from another game, and fits what I'm thinking I'll see if it can be modified after I'm done.)

(We used to have one that we used by I don't remember what it was. As for us saying what we want to happen, I left mine well open to your input I didn't say they were sucessful or blocked, I allowed you the defended to decide where and what worked.)

Roma Hawaiiana thanks Toumba profusely for the medical aid. Even in your hour of peril you help others. We will not forget this.

Consigliere: Due to the unpredictable out break of cooties in the sinai, the Don thinks everyone can understand why he ordered the emergency evacuation of all Vitosoprano personnel from the area in advance of the agreed upon transition date. Good luck and god bless those there now.

With the arrval of additional troops, Roma Hawaiiana is more than ready to take care of Egypt by itself. The planned upon celebration will be scrapped in favor of medical care for the diseased.

Don: if you like we can still air drop the canoli

Hmmm. While tempting, we fear that delicious air-dropped deserts will cause crowding and provide an easy terrorist target. If the canoli are dropped anyway, we will not hesitate to blast them out of the sky with flak cannons.

[Ok, lets get this thing going once again] Toumba DoD War Room:GROUND REPORTS: As of 2230 yesterday Limington forces have commenced their attack, crossing our western borders. Limington's ground forces have overwhelmed Toumbiot border defenses. None of the Thrace missile batteries have been able to shoot a single shot until this moment, as there seems that a vast sabotage operation had been in progress during the past few days. Recent stall of Limington's operations has revealed itself to be none other than a diversion, while Limington's central command was anticipating the successful outcome of their covert sabotage operations in our first line of defense. After experiencing severe difficulties, our battalions have been drawn back to the secondary defense line, commanded by the Third Armored Regiment. Limington has control of train and road routes up to 65 km inside our territory and nearly half of Eastern Thrace, but they have been held off 90km outside the capital. Our defenses are holding strong on the secondary line. NAVAL FRONT: Due to the severity of the situation in Thrace, in an attempt to distract Limington's attention and divide its forces, the First and Second Aegean fleets have been ordered to attack certain strategic islands in the Aegean. Toumba's supreme naval forces have taken the enemy off guard and have successfuly cut off Samos, Chios and Mitilini from Limington reinforcements. Part of the Second fleet has taken position in Central Aegean's international orders, effectively patrolling and controlling any Limington's civilian or military naval movements. At 0723 this morning Admiral Pikos confirmed that Toumba's forces have landed on the Island of Chios without much resistance and are now controlling its coastlines and most of the mainland, having encountered limited military resistance, while greeted by the island's Greek-Toumbiot population. INTELLIGENCE REPORT: Local police is reporting strange medical occurrences on the Black Sea shores. Yesterday evening a coast guard crew boarded what seemed to be a drifting yacht 15 nautical miles NE of Constantinople. While searching the ship, they discovered the decomposing remains of a male individual that has yet to be identified. The ship looks like as if it was abandoned in a hurry, while several of the recovered evidence, such as docking logs and other documents, point to the unclaimed territories north of Western Thrace as the point of departure. Even though the aforementioned individual's C.O.D. has been determined to be gun wound (shot once in the heart), Toumba's coast guards that boarded the ship have been complaining of respiratory problems and developed mild eczema on their upper torsos. They are currently under quarantine in the Hatzi City Naval Hospital, since doctors fear that they may have been experiencing the early symptoms of what has been reported in Egypt as a "deadly infection" Among Toumba's NSA agents, there is growing concern that while both Limington's and Toumba's forces have been occupied in the ongoing struggle, H.A.P. cells have been activated in both countries and are currently attempting to strike major blows using biological weapons, according to their previous threats. Furthermore it has been suggested that their religious rhetoric might be but a front in an attempt to establish a terrorist state, taking over parts of Limington and Toumba, as a base of operations against the entire region. In the wake of these events, despite the building aggression, the Governor has sent any information available on the subject to the Limington high command. In the same secret communique, the Governor has proposed a seize fire until the new developments have been fully analyzed. He is also proposing a withdrawal of both nations' forces to their initial positions and awaits for Limington's reply.

(OOC: I'd first like to appologize for not warning you all of my trip this weekend. I was gone from friday morning to late last night. Now onto the rp)
*Limington forces have been ordered to hault their movements into Toumba territory. The Limington First Fleet has been ordered away from the current combat zone and is to join the second fleet in retaking the islands Toumba has decided to occupy. They will be given 1 warning to return to their ships before the fleets will open fire and destroy the Toumba fleets and then land troops to slaughter the soldiers on land. The Third fleet is also moving into the area to block any attempt to add ships to the fleets by Toumba. The army has been ordered to build quarantine zones along the taken territory and build large watch towers 1m from the first quarantine wall. Barbed wire and sand bags are the first line of defense the second will be a solid cement wall capped with barbed wire 4 feet from the towers. Armed soldiers will occupy these towers and they will be places 1m apart to allow overlapping fire to take down any would be crossers. Large spot lights are also being put onto the towers to prevent any attempted night crossing. Land mines are still being decided on for the are between the sand bags and new wall. Limington's police and remaining soldiers have begun house raids today. All civilians have been orders to open their homes and allow full detailed searches, and the use of underground sonar equipment to check for any hidden basements or tunnels. The Army blockades off entire sections of all the cities, searches them and then moves onto the next section making sure no one can enter the already searched locations. Already 3 small groups of terrorists have been found and brought in for questioning, another group however realized what was happening and blew up a small building on the edge of Athens. 5 soldiers died in the attempt to seize the terrorists. Luckily no one else was in the building due to the lockdowns and blockades*
