ooc: YEAH !!!! THE HIVE are THE WINNERS ... Damn you mean everyone died !!!! Damn damn damn...

Ok going to role paly tha tthe nuke/chem warfare annihalation didnt occur, as agreed by MOST. the role play is what is important not who wins or loses. So let scontinue and play as if th eHive withdrew for reasons unbeknown to us all....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

IC: all was quiet agian, General Hammersely and General Golding were still surveying the front ahead. They looked at each other and both had a perlexed look upon hteir faces.

The mobile phone of Hammrsely rang and he fumbled into his pocketto get it.

"Hammersely here"

"General we are still awaiting your latest report, when are you going to launch your attack on Hoshem?" asked the HQ scribe.

"Inform HQ that there will be no attack on Hoshem."

There was a pause whilst this message was relayed. Then a different voice came on the line.

"General, this is Field Mashall Smith, please repeat last message, when is the attack on Hoshem planned for."

"Sir there will be no attack on Hoshem...." he was cut off by swearingon hte other end.

"Wha tdo you mean no attack, your boyds become cowards? Move them in take on hte Hive."

"sir , you dont understand, their is no enemy to attack!!"

"Come again General??"

"Sir the Hive have retreated during the night and have left helter skelter. Notsure why sir, they outnumbere dus in htat city 10 to one."

"Hang on!" the phone went quiet whilst this situation was discussed. After 15 minutes the Scribe returned to the phone.

"General , oyur orders are to follow the Hive to FCL borders. Make sure it is a complete pullout. Aid and assist the locals in whatever they need. Azani leadrship has been informed of the victory i nthe west."

Besides, there's no way Western Apolyton could have the capacity to house your bombers. Remember, it just popped up in the middle of a war.

Auldonina are flying in an Engineering Corp to start making some crossings of th eriver possible.

Specialist troops are now being rushed into the vilalges and citys along the highway to find the mines and boobie traps left behind.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Tal Zach, FCL regional HQ

Major General Momotaro overlooked the map of the theater of operations. Recent news indicated that the coalition had advanced far up into Hive/FCL holdings. The Hive forces were losing ground fast, Coalition troops were landing at the port in Roshem, and it was only a matter of time before they started attacking the eastern front held by the FCL military.

The General was frustrated by General Frankychan's unwillingness to send in more troops. "We need our main forces to defend the homeland....no reinforcements. I've provided you with all the materiel you need" was the General's response to more men. What troubled Momotaro the most were recent reports indicating that the commander in Roshem had sent out a message indicating the surrender of FCL soldiers in that city.

A staff officer interrupted the general's train of thought.

"Sir, I am pleased to report that we have finished laying mines and other explosives around the perimeter of T.Z. We have anti-tank weaponry stationed at various points throughout the perimeter as well. Also, our anti-aircraft weaponry is online...anything flying near T.Z. better have parachutes cause it'll be shot down."

General Momotaro nodded. Tal Zach had effectively become a standing fortress inside Azan. The local population was their ace in the hole...and Momotaro's orders to enact martial law was having moderate success.

If they want this city so bad, let's see them try and take it.

--------

Roshem, FCL Divisional HQ

The megaphone blast filled the air with a sound that filled Colonel Murphy with a sense of both relief and fear. The allies received his message, after all. The colonel nodded with satisfaction.

This hell is finally over.

A scout ran into the HQ and saluted sharply.

"Sir, we have confirmed that the enemy has received your message. We have sightings from our men that the Karakasian military are the ones broadcasting that message on the megaphone. They're carrying a large flag.

The Colonel nodded, then sighed deeply.

"Take me to their location."

--------

The Colonel surveyed the city as his jeep and two escort jeeps drove throught the city. The pavement was torn in chunks and the debris was scattered everywhere. Small fires burned from burned-out cars and buses. The buildings were riddled with bullet holes and parts were missing where grenades and other explosives detonated.

Every once in a while, he saw an FCL soldier. As his convoy passed, they got up dazed looking and gave a salute. The Colonel sharply returned their salutes.

He noticed the dead of both sides as well, and was ashamed of himself. His orders caused those good men and women to lose their lives.

At least I saved those that I could have.

Colonel Murphy immediately recognized the large flag held by a Karakasian soldier standing near another man still shouting into the megaphone. His jeep slowed down and the colonel got out slowly.

The Karakasian soldier stopped shouting and put his megaphone down.

"I am Colonel Murphy, commander of all Frankychanland forces in the city of Roshem. I have petitioned the surrender of all FCL forces under my command to the allied forces."

The Karakasian soldier looked the colonel up and down and nodded with satisfaction.

"Alright," the soldier said sounding a little relieved. "Come with us, we'll take you to the Commandante."
-----

Ali'i City, Frankychanland capital
Command Bunker


General Frankychan observed the events unfolding. All across the Azani terriory, allied forces were leading counter-offenses and the Hive/FCL gains were being lost at an astounding rate. The Western Front was of great concern. The Hive forces fought with ruthless efficiency, far better than his own troops.

The training his military received from Auldonina before the two countries helped his military a great deal, and the Hive's training further increased the FCL military efficiency. He wanted as much Hive soldiers around as possible so he could make them permanent military advisors.

Lost territory in exchange for a permanent military infrastructure that was proven. No choice there.

The General stroked his chin.

"Order the withdrawal of all Hive soldiers in the Western Front back into FCL territory. Then send 3 more FCL mechanized infantry divisions in the Eastern territories. Have them report to Major General Momotaro in Tal Zach."
----------

The order for complete withdrawal of the Western Front by Hive forces spread throughout the territories. The Hive soldiers, efficient and unquestioning of orders, began their withdrawal.

Hofesh ! Enter the AD-FREE zone

Looking through his binoculars, the field commander saw across the river that FCL forces had moved into position . Aerial dogfights had been occuring all day. FCL planes were protecting their boys below very well. But slowly and surely the Audlonina airforce was gaining the upper hand.

Artilelry had been set up now on the banks of the river and were firing on the positions of the FCL troops. ORders were that this would continue for some time.

This was the largest attack since the beginning of the war. The town of Hofesh was not under control yet, as it had many Hive infantry in the streets and the recent movement of FCL oured battalions had strenthened them too.

The south side of town was basically under Audlonina control. And the artilelry was keeping the FCL from moving in any more reinforcements. Booby traps and snipers were the main obstacle in town.

As far as any advance it was impossible til lthe bridges were rebuilt and that wasnt going t ohappen any time soon while the enemy was still so close.

The Armoured brigades on their way to Concept had received new orders, they were now heading north east to to reinforce the position along the river (Azazal name of river please !!)Concept was well udnr control by Azan and allies .

Once established there , their misison was to try and make a crossing somewhere and then head west again thereby flanking the FCL troops North of Hofesh.

Admiral Long entered his secret key that would enable the message to be deciphered. He looked at it quickly and smiled.

"We have just received a new order from Theater Command. We are now going to blockade FCL's seaports, turning back all ships except those carrying food and medicine. Elements of the 2nd Fleet will arrive in several days to assist us in the task.

"Send to all captains. We are going to have a meeting in an hour to discuss the details."

Commandante Gluckstein got up from his chair when General Vijinee entered.

"General, what can I do for you?"

"Commandante, would you have locals of Tel Zach, After, and various other occupied cities?"

"Hm, no..." Commandante Gluckstein suddenly realised the idea, "but I can probably get them down here if you give me time, from various local resistance forces."

"Thank you Commandante. How long would it take? Say, if we provide transportation, will it be faster?"

"Definitely, general."

"Great. I'll arrange it right away."

To: Alliance Command
From: Theater Command, Noosland

Since Hive removed itself from the conflict, it now appears that the Alliance has absolute naval superiority. As a result, we suggest the implementation of complete blockade of all FCL ports, barring all movement of ships except those transporting humanitarian aid (food and medicine). This should aid in the removal of FCL forces from Azan.

based on last few posts. the below is my understanding of the situation.

Azan forces were west of the River heading to hofesh.

My forces met the Hive on East side of river south of Hofesh and now moved to outskirts.

My 2nd group skirted the mountains and is postioning it self as reserves looknig for a way across if possible

My new beachhead is shown too. Those forces are clearing the country side along coast south to Tel Azan and also Northwards. No major forces encountered as of yet...

Port Blacksand, Guardia

Colonel Wu looked on while personnel and equipment of his division were loaded on these huge assault transports. Wu was the commander of Noosland's 2nd Armoured Divsion, the only permanent armoured division of the country. The 2nd, augmented, would spearhead counterattacks against the FCL invaders.


Neve Al, Azan

Shortly after midnight, waves of explosions rocked the city, as Free Azan forces poured in from the surrounding areas to attack the FCL garrision. Low intensity fighting had been going on between the garrison and the Free Azan partisans, but there was nothing like this in terms of intensity and coordination.

Multiple battles erupted all across the city, as communication lines, power plants, TV station, water plant, command posts, and other vital areas came under attack. More ominously, cruise missiles were seen used against various FCL targets.

In the FCL HQ, commander of the garrison slammed his fists on the desk. "What's going on?" he demanded angrily.

"Sir, Azani insurgents are attacking us in unprecedented numbers all across the city. Nooslandian special forces are operating with them with surgical strikes. We are bombarded by cruise missiles launched from warships."

Just then the lights shut off. "Damn! Does this mean they have taken the power station?"

"That, or maybe they have cut the power lines."

"How could they take the power station so fast? It was heavily guarded."

"Sir, Azani insiders..."

"Argh! Well get the generators working NOW!"

"Yes sir."

Several minutes later, the lights came back on.

"Inform Tel Zach, quickly."

The operator got on the phone, then stopped. "Sir, the line is dead."

"Use the radio then, fool!"

The HQ was rocked by an explosion. Power went out temporaily and people were thrown about. The radio operator got back up on his feet, obviously shaken. He worked with the controls but there was only static.

"Eh, sir, we are being jammed."

The commander slumped into his chair, feeling frustrated. "Get some people out there to look at what's going on!"

"Yes sir."

At this point, a runner came in.

"What is it, more bad news?"

"Sir, we have reporters of Nooslanders landed to the south and north of the city, and is now making a pincer."

"Oh no..."

Somewhere to the West of Neve Al, roughly 15 kilometers away

A silhouette was standing next to a Roamer parked in the middle of nowhere. Under the moon, one could see a lot of vehicle and men waiting in the area. From a distance, a deep rumbling could be heard, and it was drawing closer.

The lead Roamer stopped and a man jumped down. The two persons approached each other and shook hands.

"Right on time, Colonel."

"Why, I see that you have been waiting, Colonel."

"Ah, yes, but no more than 5 minutes."

One of them stretched out an arm to point at Neve Al, "Time to head that way."

"Yes, lets."


Port facilities, Neve Al

Major William Hastings stood at the bow of a fast assault hovercraft, as it was skimming the water towards the port. Up ahead, cracking sounds of small arms, high pitch whirls of mortars, angry roars of explosions, wails and moans of injured persons, and even the occasional launchings of missiles all intertwined into a macabre symphony of the battlefield.

Battalions Tau and Sigma of the 2nd Regiment of the 28th Marine Division had already established a beachhead which was rapidly expanding now that the remaining of the 2nd Regiment had made landfall. The 1st Regiment would land next, and the rest would come in later that night, after returning from establishing landing zones for the 3rd Light and the 58th Mech.

Several godowns had already been commandeered. One was converted to a temporary detaining center while another one became a makeshift field hospital.

The FCL defense along this stretch of the harbour seemed to be light. A lot of the soldiers appeared to be conscripts or green recruits, crumbling entirely at the sounds of gunfire. There were some veterans, but they had been quickly overran.

Strangely, the FCL didn't seem to be expecting this attack. They didn't even defend the coastlines but just huddle up in the occupied cities and towns.

"But tanks do badly in urban combat," thought Major Hastings.

From: Commandante Benyamin Gluckstein, Commanding Officer, Roshem
To: Gabriel Ramon, President of the Republic

Gabriel,
The liberation of Roshem is complete. Remaining FCL forces under Colonel Murphy (some 8000 men) surrendered to myself and Givat Yofi Council Military Chair Moshe Meir at 16:35hrs.

The 3rd Infantry Division suffered (relatively) low casualties, as the brunt of the fighting fell on our Karakan allies, who performed admirably under intense pressure. The city's militia's suffered heavy losses in the initial uprising, particularly in the tragic defence of the City-Centre Council, which was crushed early by the FCL garrison. Regrettably, two of the brightest stars of the Old Republic, General Metehan Peretz and Dr. Golda Silverman, were killed in the Council's suppression.

That Colonel Murphy is a commander to be reckoned with. Had he chosen to stand his ground (as so many of his Hive and FCL colleagues would have attempted) and not fallen back into the city, Roshem would have been liberated in the first assault. And had General Frankychan not refused to reinforce him, it is my firm belief that they would be holding Roshem still.

Both the Givat Yofi and University Neighbourhood Councils have pledged their support for your National Government, and representatives will be sent to New Aurora as soon as democratic formations have been established in the rest of the city.

I await your instructions on further deployment.

In solidarity,
Benyamin
