Troubles in Tiny Tinian

[Haken]

I guess we need this. I would be suprised if there's someone who could follow it all and now with more people joining (which is nice), we need a bit of organisation.

 

 

Also my last post is long, but it only showed part of the Tinian operations. These are my current positions:

 

-In Chanson my forces are retreating, they are forming a new front to attempt guerilla warfare so they hopefullt can hold Ide Jimans long enough to reinforcements to arrive.

 

-Those just landed in Ashgran ans consists a division, with tanks, trucks and artillery.

 

-In the center Captain Pricard, with helicopters and ground troops, is searching for rebels who oppose Pol Kettle's regime. They sometimes receive light fire, but have yet to capture any of them.

 

-Tinian City is what a Tinian would call a capital and all others a dump. Pol Kettle is again the official ruler of Tinian. With an iron fist and his personal little army he tries to strengthen his position, but his power doesn't go much further than the city limits. A small Riderian garison is stationed here to monitor the situation.

 

-The Fleets doesn't dare to engage the Ide Jima. Part of it is also guarding the other side of Tinian/Haken Rider against certain unwanted guests (you know who you are ).

 

-Haken Rider relies mostly on his air force, which would be the only part of the militairy that matches Ide Jima's.

 

I believe I haven't gotten any help from my friends...

 

Haken Rider is willing to negotiate.

 

 

So far the uranium mines aren't secured yet.

Akiiryu maybe getting phyiscally involved soon...although that all depends on what happens.

[Haken]

More troubling still is Haken Rider's reference to Tinian as "our nation" which directly indicates its intentions for the island, despite its claims to the otherwise.

Wow, there, man. That was a communiqu? from both Haken Rider and the offical government of Tinian, as supported by us.

[Akiiryu]

You'll note it Aki call Pol's government a puppet government. Moreover, the fact the HR signed that document means those words can (and would most likely) be read as HR as much as Pol's.

Ah! And rightly so.

[Ide Jima]

due to the uncooperativeness and refusal of either side to head to the conference table and debate

ooc: We said we would be willing to enter talks though.

Cack.

 

OK, I'll have to change that.

[Tagmatium Rules]

Not being funny, everyone, but I really don't have the heart to re-write almost the entirity of that post. I'm going to ask a really big favour, but could Rekamgil, Akiiryu and Assyrum, when you lot get around to typing up a reply, write a post with the fact that Ide Jima is open to talks in mind, rather than what I posted because I couldn't remember that?

[Rekamgil]

ok. I will edit the one I just posted.

Possibly. Where? How did you formulate it?

[Ide Jima]

In a message to Tag from my nation on the thread.

[Assurym]

Alright I'm back, I'll write a reply soon.

[Haken]

Christ, it's back up! I hope my brain isn't a puddle again like the last time I tried to reply.

[Rekamgil]

OOC: Haken, do you have an end point in mind? What I mean is, is this RP meant so that you can claim Tinian as part of HR? Are you doing this as part of normal plot claiming. I need to ask this because I would not want to obstruct you too much if this is your final goal... which all players should have the right to do... Is Tinian suppoed to be your "fourth plot"?

[Haken]

Not necessairly.

[Ide Jima]

The idea's just to have a bit of an inter-alliance punch-up

[Akiiryu]

Well, ya see, it might just become a stalled punch up between Ide Jima and Haken Rider. As far I as can tell most other countries are less than interested using this as an excuse for an all out war and would rather see peace in Tinian, which may end up divided like Cyprus or the Koreas.

[Ide Jima]

I'm not after all out war - just a chance to actually RP some sort of military action.

[Akiiryu]

That's what ya getting!

[Haken]

I think the worst is over now.

 

But anything can go, baby.

Oh, an Ide, those planes came from the homeland.

Logistically speaking, it would be madness to not operate aircraft off of that airport, given amounts fuel required - not to mention the element of surprise, the more time your planes spend in the air, the more chance they have of being picked up by my AEW systems.

 

Eitherway, it'd be best to assume Ide Jiman intelligence hadn't realised that they came from the mainland.

[Akiiryu]

Good counter and compromise. Smooth rping all around.

Well, it was more logic for me to use the well-infrastructured airports of Haken Rider, instead of parking the largest part of my airfleet in a small town that only has, if I remember correctly, only "a small dirt strip" for take-of. Launching a large air-orientated assault would be nearly impossible, even if it was improved.

 

In my opnion, just as numbers of soldiers are based on real life, distance in Europa is practically the same as earth, so it should be similair as the Battle of Britain, with German planes crossing the channel to attack island UK.

 

To stick with this exemple. the UK used radar then, so the Germans didn't have the oppurtinity to surprise. yet the campaign would have succeeded if they didn't started bombing cities, instead of the military airfields.

 

HR didn't mind if they lost many planes, because they counted on an awe and shock tactic. Radar or not, I guess I had superiority in the air, with my nation so close. You could have seen it coming when they took up and still you couldn't take reinforcements from your homeland in time, I think, even when I have bombers that slow the average speed down. The distance is just too small. Your airforce stationed in Tinian and on the ships could probably react in time.

 

I will roleplay that the Intenrational was a bit expanded and that a pretty large group of planes is stationed there to give air support in Tinian and that they took part in the offensive.

 

Why do i have the feeling this could start a discussion about the Battle of Britain...

Wouldn't that make the airport a prime target for Ide Jiman attention?
