Volunteers Sought for Amokolian War

[Aurangzeb Khan]

Gentlemen,

The time has come to purge the world of Ocian tyranny and restore our Amokolian neighbours to liberty. Already the storm clouds of war are gathering over Benacia. Alas there is nothing to be done about the regrettable name assigned to the conflict save but to kill the enemy quickly and trust to posterity to correct any deficiencies in the narrative.

As your Steward I seek volunteers willing to head west into the looming maelstrom of war to rescue the land from the Keltian depravity of the Ocian interlopers. I specifically require a volunteer to lead the following formation:

D. Imperial Volunteer Forces
- Headquarters (500 HQ General Staff)
Kampfgruppe Becks (3880)
Kampfgruppe Carling (3880)
Kampfgruppe Carlsberg (3880)
Kampfgruppe Stella (3880)
I./JG 1 "Kadavergehorsam" (Air Defence)
9x F7 OAH Taifun (6,300)

Suitable remuneration will be made available to those who offer up their services. There will also be openings for experts in rapine, larceny, despoliation and brigandage. Apply within for details... deadline for volunteers is 1st September 2009 which is the actual start date of the war, or so I am reliably informed.

[Gman Russell]

Whelp, time to kill things. I'll lead what you need.

[Jacobus Loki]

Larceny, looting without the gun.

I'm wrapping up some personal stuff, see you in a day or two.

[Gman Russell]

Cheers!

[Malliki Tosha]

I'm free and available, probably. Don't know much about recwarring tho.

[Gman Russell]

It's easy to learn. Just write a good story about your side of the war like a novel, kinda.

[Erik Mortis]

I'll see my schedule for next week.... so maybe.

[Malliki Tosha]

I can probably do that. So, one complete recwar n00b at your service.

[Gman Russell]

It's ok, most recwar veterans STILL act like noobs. Here's looking at you, Extreme007...

[Gman Russell]

Hm... from looking at your pictures, Ardy, you're using a more... army style force aren't you? Hm... not terribly familiar with that kind (i'm more an expert at marine-style warfare). How is this going to all work, eh?

[Aurangzeb Khan]

Greg,

It is true that I am preparing primarily for a land campaign but that does not necessarily mean that the enemy is, so it would actually be more help to me if you had your marine expeditionary force out of Yardistan prepared for deployment.

I'll PM you chaps who have expressed an interest a somewhat more coherent semblance of a plan tomorrow.

[Gman Russell]

Very good then! I'm not sure how much of it I can use in the upcoming war (should I include a naval fleet as well? The Great Western Sea Carrier Strike Group would be closest), but we can work that out later too.

[Aurangzeb Khan]

I'm free and available, probably. Don't know much about recwarring tho.

Malliki Tosha, congratulations you are designated commander of the Imperial Volunteer Forces for this campaign. Your starting point for this campaign will be Shirekeep. Your mission will be two fold - take half the force to join the assault on the Ocian base at La Terre, the remainder, including the fighter aircraft, are to be tasked with the defence of the capital in the event of any retaliatory strikes.

D. Imperial Volunteer Forces
- Headquarters (500 HQ General Staff)
Kampfgruppe Becks (3880)
Kampfgruppe Carling (3880)
Kampfgruppe Carlsberg (3880)
Kampfgruppe Stella (3880)
I./JG 1 "Kadavergehorsam" (Air Defence)
9x F7 OAH Taifun (6,300)

Don't worry about not knowing that much about recwaring, it is all as Greg said it is and both myself and Greg will be on hand to advise.

[Malliki Tosha]

So, where's the war? :P

[Aurangzeb Khan]

Order of Battle goes here. Killing goes here.

[Malliki Tosha]

Do I need to post a more detailed Orbat or what?

[Aurangzeb Khan]

No, just post the one I've quoted - that covers the particulars.

[Malliki Tosha]

Okay, thanks. I'll get around to it ASAP, hopefully. Unless life interfers.

[Gman Russell]

Posted my OrBat. Comments?

[Aurangzeb Khan]

Caution is advised when engaging land based targets. The enemy has deployed S-300 Missile systems and these can pose a significant threat to aviation assets. These may have to be identified and dealt with by special forces and or artillery from the landward side.

Also there are two cruisers attached to the enemy force - have IRS Erudition placed ahead of your main force, ready to engage the enemy ships with a nice tasty torpedo run or two.

[Gman Russell]

Very good.

[Aurangzeb Khan]

Gentlemen,

Extreme, bless him, has done the whole mercenary thing and changed sides, launching a treacherous assault upon our forces advancing upon La Terre. So I say to you now, what I want are fighter aircraft, lots and lots of fighters... we'll sweep the bastard from the sky and avenge the stain of the Jaris War (oh the irony).

[Andreas the Wise]

Extreme to be owned? Excellent ....

[Gman Russell]

Sorry for disapearing guys, i'm back though.

[Aurangzeb Khan]

Aye - welcome back. I understand that you pulled. In which case you are excused for the absence.

[Gman Russell]

It was a... fun... weekend.

[Jacobus Loki]

Greg, I'm still tied up in RL.

Take the "Kaiser Mors V" with my blessing. Heavy firepower, cruise missiles, etc.

[Gman Russell]

Cool, thanks.


So.. Ardy... what now?

[Aurangzeb Khan]

Greg,

I would like you to secure the island of Amokolia proper and the city/island of New London. And then await further orders.

[Jess]

The PAA has the Automaticas secure, as is capital of our nation.
