Thalasus wrote:Pantoufle, Greater Balticia, I believe there is a mutual overreaction going on.

Balticia, Pantoufle initiating sanctions on Obsturmt does not mean they're initiating a blockade. Your ships and planes should be just fine, and trying to assign a naval squadron to the region is provocative overkill and borderline warmongering. If Pantoufle begins to restrict freedom of navigation, they're going to have problems with more nations than just yours, believe me.

Pantoufle, it is very poor form to start laying down sanctions left and right when a nation doesn't go your way. Sanctions are a form of economic warfare: they cause very real suffering. They should be used sparingly and with reason. If you believe Obsturmst deserves sanctions, go to town, but don't get mad if other nations don't follow suit immediately.

I would be willing to host a summit in Thalasus if you all wanted to talk it out here.

Our purpose of enacting the sanctions were straight forward to prevent any future trade between businesses in Pantoufle and businesses in Obstmurt and if other nations wished to follow suit that is their own business.

We don't want to do support an oppressive regime and we'd hope others would feel the same way, and we want to be sure our businesses don't either. Neutral countries doing business with those countries we would like to stop but we won't force them to. Jäger doesn't feel that's his place to tell another country how to conduct its business other than to offer opinions and let their leader(s) decide, it would be taken into account their annual tariff review but typically increases or decreases are small 0.025% increments topping out at a 1% increase for that fiscal year.
We understand how powerful a sanction can be, that's why we enacted them.

"Honestly, I'm glad you asked," admitted President Mercer. "I can speak candidly with you about this." He paused for a moment to make sure he wasn't about to forget anything. "There are two main reasons we want the war to end. First and foremost, is trade. Since the war started prices of all major imports, from your nation as well as from Allouxia and Goopyy, have risen dramatically. We are an island nation, Mr. Dates, as you are well aware. We rely on oceanic trade for our livelihood, and when that trade is interrupted by shipping routes becoming battlefields or by the needs of a trading partner at war, it hurts us badly. Thanks to capitalism, we have a vested interest in peace."
Adonijah could hear one of his younger, pinker aides stifle a guffaw. He continued. "Secondly, your conflict has started a small refugee crisis in our nation. An influx of cheap labor and new faces is usually a good thing, but we're getting too much of it. When innocent people flee the war, Mr. Dates, they don't head to your nation, to Allouxia, or to Goopyy. For a variety of reasons, they come here. Now, Congress has been getting on my case about immigration limits, but I would much rather strike at the source of the uncomfortable human flow: the war."

Adonijah leaned in. "Of course, I think you realize what there is to gain if you help end the conflict, as well as what you stand to lose if you don't." He let those words hover in the air ominously, to fall where they hopefully were supposed to.

OOC: Where are you on the map anyway? I dont have time to type a response right now, so just to clarify im not ignoring your post.

Markus Jäger calls the president of Thalasus, hoping the number on his registry is correct.
One of Mercer's secretaries answers and notices that this is the direct number of the office of the President of Pantoufle, they say "Hello Mr. Jäger, pleasant surprise seeing a call from you. Mercer isn't available right now, I can take a message for him."

Markus says "Ah alright, well just let him know to call me back at this number it should be the direct number to the my office in le maison administratif. We want to help resettle those refugees in other somewhere, since we're nearly at the annual quota for all immigrant groups that's something we'll need to figure out. Also perhaps talk about Obsturmt and Greater Balticia and maybe hosting a summit where we sort of agree to disagree and put differences behind us and basically be neutral with each other. Our people have noticed that we've been ramping up our defenses because of the perceived threat Obstmurt poses"

I'm not. I was just going to replace Erusiia until I could make an actual new map, but that won't really be good until you guys are done tearing it to shreds. Just assume I'm on some nearby archipelago.

Now early morning Bussler had made good progress, he was less then a mile away from his objective. The closer he came to Camp Pike the more the effects of the war became apparent. He passed through a ruined small town much of the houses in rubble. As he passed through he heard a single scream, one of a small child. Bussler climbed to the top of a building to observe, and there it was. A family of Azuran Civilians were being held at gun point by Goopyian soldiers, the father tried to protect his family but was hit in the face with the butt stock of a rifle. The Goop Troops took aim at the family, making a split second decision Bussler pounced like a Lion onto a Goop Troop with his knife drawn jabbing it into the throat of the Goop Troop, quickly he took his knife back out and stabbed the soldier who was about to turn his rifle on Bussler in the stomach, at the same time Bussler drew his silenced R-8 pistol quickly putting a round into the head of another Goop Troop. One he took his knife back out a Goop Troop had taken the mother of the family as a human shield threatening to kill her, Bussler put his hands up and slowly lowered his pistol to the ground, he then suddenly threw his knife at the head of the Goop Troop getting him between the eyes. The Goop Troop released his grip and slowly fell down with a shocked expression on his face. Bussler put his boot on the face of the dead Goopyian and grabbed his knife. The family shocked at what they just saw came back to their senses and thanked the Shadow Marshal. Bussler simply nodded and went back on his route to Camp Pike.

-OKS Orders-
Northern Front secure, General Karoline Quint to deploy the 3rd Army to the Southern Front

-Southern Cote azure-
The Imperial Marines had captured Faith Park in Erusiia securing a direct route for the Reichsarmee to Deploy all it's available Assets to the Southern Front, mainly armor would be taking this route, Infantry will be flown in. The first unit from the 3rd Army to reach Azuran soil is the 14th Panzergrenadiers. Touching down at Reach International Airport, the Panzergrenadiers received a warm welcome by the populace.

"So how do you propose we end the war? Do you know what the Goopyyians have done? The torture, the killing of civilians, the rape reports. The goopyyians got far and caught us off guard. We have thousands of civilians behind enemy lines right now. There are reports of a resistance righting back and freeing Azuran civilians, thank god." Dates stopped himself, he was straying off topic. "Well, the point is, they backstabbed us. We thought of them as allies, trading partners. Then they turned on us. Do you think we will negotiate peace? Azurans are angry, Mercer. The best option on the table is unconditional surrender. And, seeing as the Goops will not accept that, the only possible victory, is a carthaginian victory." Dates took a deep breath, and a sip of water. "But, I am open to ideas Mercer. If you have any alternatives, or want to persuade me, I'm open to them."

There is a resistance in a town near camp pike. Some SSTs are training and helping them. Your shadow marshal may encounter them along the way...

The Azurans geared up for a massive charge on the lines. All though nobody ever announced it directly, the orders were "Get your gear cleaned up, weapons ready, and if your religious, start praying. Next week's gonna be a busy week."

this is starting to look more like ww1 every post

Well, the war is only in the west right now. If it reaches east while we are still fighting Erusiia and Goop, then we can consider it a world war.

I thought Erusiia was basically defeated. With some resistance here and there.

hmm maybe i should start sending supplies to the Goop, until Cote agrees for a peace treaty

you just love making trouble don’t you

Thalasus wrote:you just love making trouble don’t you

not as much as i used too, ive lost my edge

Added new and already in use vehicles.
Vehicles developed and entering production, not yet deployed
Ocelot IFV (Infantry Fighting Vehicle)
R1RA MLRS (Multiple Rocket Launch System)
FW-AH Raptor (Attack Helicopter)
Vehicles added already in use (Just haven't been put in this Fact Book)
AAX Raven (Attack Helicopter)
VB02 or Vertibird (Multi purpose Helicopter/ VTOL)

These are the vehicles in service of Allouxia's military, the Reichswehr

Rösch RA2 "Aura"
The work horse of the Reichswehr, used in a variety of roles such as transportation, reconnaissance, even anti tank/anti air.
The RA2 was built by the Rösch Automotive company for the Reichswehr in 2008 in response for the demand of a multi purpose vehicle. The most common package of the RA2 Aura is infantry transport which features a R3 .51 caliber machine gun mounted on the top, the RA2 is held dear to the hearts of many of Allouxia's troops due to its durability and reliability, it provides grate protection from small arms fire and is resistant to mines and man portable rockets.
Weight: 5000lbs
Length: 15 feet, wheel base 10 feet
Width: 7 feet
Speed: 70mph (at max weight)


The Main Battle Tanks used by the Allouxian military is the Kaiser series of tanks. The current iterations in use by the Reichswehr are the K1A1, K1A2, K2A1 and K2A2
The Kaiser series of tanks main armament is a 120mm smooth bore gun with a range of 2,000 meters ( or 2,200 yards) It's secondary weapons include a .51 coaxial and top mounted machine guns.


Recently developed after the Reichswehr needed a more heavily armed and armored IFV.
Ocelot, Infantry Fighting Vehicle
Main Armament: 88mm Auto loading rifled cannon (Fires HE rounds)
Secondary Armament: Side mounted ATGMs
Other Armaments: Coaxial MG10 (fires 7.92), top mounted R3 .51 Caliber HMG
Speed: 40 mph


R1RA Multiple Launch Rocket System.
Developed after the Reichswehr needed to be able to hit targets more precisely, built with the K2A2 chassis
Speed: 40mph
Main Armament: 6 rocket pods, can be outfitted with various types of rockets.
Secondary Armament: top mounted .51 caliber HMG


FW-AH 318 Raptor
The Raptor is an attack helicopter developed for the Imperiale Marine Crops (I.M.C.) after a need for a more compact attack helicopter to be stored on Imperial Navy ships. Considerably smaller and cheaper the the tried and true AAX Raven attack gunship the Raptor offers slightly less amount of fire power but trades this for superior speed and mobility, as well as better counter measures to enemy AA. Like the AAX Raven the FW-AH 318 Raptor is flown by one pilot and one gunner, however a single pilot can do both tasks if need be.
Armaments: 30mm Auto cannon or .51 caliber Machine Gun (one or the other can be equipped)
Hellfire Rocket Pods and 2 Air to Air missiles, or Air to Ground missiles
or 4 Air to air Missiles or Air to Ground Missiles
Speed: 350mph


AAX Raven
The AAX Raven is an attack gunship used by both the Reichsarmee and Luftwaffe. It's popularity comes from It's speed and maneuverability along with how versatile the aircraft is being able to be equipped with a variety of weapons for any mission. The Raven's top speed clocks in at 300 mph. For ground support operations the Raven can be equipped with a 30mm cannon or .51 Machine gun along dual rocket pods which are held inside a storage bay underneath and brought out when needed to fire. The Raven can also engage Armor or other aircraft such as helicopters by swapping out it's rocket pods for Air to Air or Air to Ground misses, the AAX Raven can hold up to 6 of these missiles at a time when not using rocket pods. A pilot and gunner commandeer the Raven but if need be a single pilot can do both tasks.


VB02
The VB02 or more commonly called the Vertibird is the Reichswehr's work horse, used for a variety of roles such as transport, cargo, or even close air support it has been proven to be an extemely reliable asset, commonly referred to as "The Flying Tank" because of how armored it is and the amount of fire power it can unleash if equipped for such a role, unlike most multi purpose VTOLS a single pilot fly's the Vertibird.
Defensive Armaments: .51 caliber HMG, slide door mounted MG10 LMGs
Offensive Armaments (needs to be equipped): Dual Hellfire Rocker pods, 2 frontal side mounted M134 Mini guns
Speed: 350mph (with no offensive armaments) 300mph (with offensive armaments)

Read factbook


Cote azure once a sufficient amount of the new vehicles have been produced they will be sent to the front. I'm still going to need a Scorpion Tank and a captured Goopyyian MBT to develope the Ocelot A1

map updated page=dispatch/id=1084315
