  1. No one has actively RP'd using generals in warfare posts, thus this newest change in CN is moot for CNRP.
  2. In specially delivered cereal boxes controlled by two teams of Federation Diplomatic Security Agents, a pair of cereal boxes were delivered to Ottawa and Washington DC as part of an annual gift box from the Hudson Bay Federation. A small envelope on the outside of the gift box simply stated, "Enjoy the cereal... and other stuff, especially the cereal. - J. Brady" The cereal box had on the top right a yellow explosion stating, "Free Prize Inside!" Once opened, the contents would spill out a folding paper sealed in protective plastic, enclosed was the above statement and another official statement from Chancellor Jordan Brady.

  3. Great Northern Times Edition 14 Federation Space Exploration Agency Launches Manned Space Flights SV-2 - Arctic Wolf; launches from Cárdenas Space Facility on Friday CIENFUEGOS, CUBA - Yesterday's space launch marked a milestone in Hudson Bay Federation's domestic space development programme under the supervision of the Federation Space Exploration Agency with the launch of a manned spaceflight on a new space orbiter vehicle. "This week marks an impressive achievement in the domestic space programme with the start of regular manned space flights to advance Hudson Bay's and the world's understanding of space," remarked FSEA Director Charles Mallory, "The launch is a culmination of a decade of work to improve our technology and know-how to launch payloads into space and continued investment into the exploration of space. We're glad to join the small community of nations leading manned space exploration for various purposes." Under former Chancellor Douglas Welks, billions was poured into the Federation space programme after Cuba was taken under the administration of the Federation, both for civilian and military purposes. The flight of Space Launch Vehicle Mission 001 (SLVM-001) marked a huge step in civilian development arm of the space programme. SLVM-001 is to last four days to test out the space-worthiness of SV-2 and in essence the rest of the Space Vehicle Fleet. Astronauts Col. Greg Hollomon, Commander; Cmdr. Caroline Ullinski, Pliot; Lt. Col. William McFlay; Mission Specialist 1; and Maj. Brian Sullivan, Mission Specialist 2, were chosen for this special mission. 500km/h Maglev Service Edmonton to Winnipeg Opens NPM Line Maglev - Spirit of Winnipeg passing through Saskatoon yesterday EDMONTON, ALBERTA - Throngs of people lined up here in Edmontion, Saskatoon and Winnipeg to herald the opening of the "Northern Plains Maglev Line" service between Edmonton and Winnipeg. Federation National Maglev Administration (FNMA) and Canadian Advanced Rail Corporation [FSE-200 symbol: CARA: +3.04%] stated that the project was on-time even though it was slightly over budget by $5 billion Federation loons. The total trip time between Edmonton and Winnipeg was just under 2 hours and 30 minutes, with just one stop in Saskatoon. Meanwhile, construction continues to extend the line through the Rocky Mountains to Prince George and Prince Rupert. Two other routes in the Federation, the Polar Express Maglev Line, from Calgary to Dawson Creek via Yellowknife was nearing 50% completion while the Southern Plains Line, from Calgary to Winnipeg via Regina was 95% complete and expected test runs on the line next month. It was hoped that the Southern Plains Line would open in three months.
  4. I would like to point out what Curristan did on the Columbian side of the Darién Gap was heavily fortified during the recent time when it was controlled by Peru. The build up of walls, guard towers and land mines occurred just after I took over Mexico the second time. Relevant link: http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?/topic/114864-republic-of-peru-actions-and-news/?p=3127560 Even though most of that is gone, the wall and the vast minefield would still exist to a great degree, especially the minefield. Just saying.
  5. We are pleased by the fair and democratic referendum determining greater autonomous status to the population of Cuba, starting in Havana. The Hudson Bay Federation is pleased to see that the Cuban people are moving further to self-determination since the collapse of the Mexican government. Our negotiations with our own provincial Cuban government has worked hand-in-hand with officials in Winnipeg and local leaders on Havana to see this referendum through. We have recognized the official results of self-determination for the City of Havana and metropolitan area. Hudson Bay is committed to North American excellence by continuing a porous border with the city to the rest of Cuba to ensure the freedom of travel. Our government will continue to infuse billions of dollars to the development of Cuba for the foreseeable future to become a hub of scientific and space research for the region. - Hudson Bay Federation Foreign Affairs Ministry Press Release
  6. "Interesting to say your nation is in a transitional phase, as for the Federation has underwent it's own transition phase to become a more dominant player in the regional arena here in North America," remarked Welks. "It is unfortunate the events surrounding the demise of the African Unity Pact on overall African politics, as I agree the paranoid largely isolated itself into a corner. I'm glad to see your administration making progress to bring South Africa up to par with the developed countries in terms of economic prowess and well-being amongst the population in the post-AUP Africa." Welks wistfully thought of Hudson Bay's economic and political development in the near-term before replying. In the meantime, the helicopters neared Churchill, Manitoba, approaching from the south, the expanse of the Hudson Bay laid to the east. Immediately below the choppers laid an expanse of land bordering the bay, designated Wapusk National Park and Churchill Wildlife Management Area, covering over 11,475-square-kilometre. Established in the early days of the Federation, it was part of the three dozen places designated under the Federation National Park System (FNPS). The name was coined by the Cree language word of polar bear "wâpask" and protected the largest polar bear maternity denning area in North America. Several groups of polar bears could be seen from the air as they passed by, along with some ground vehicles called a "Tundra Buggy" moving on some established dirt roads. "Hudson Bay has been focusing on the development of our latest acquisition of Cuba for neutral scientific and space development for all Western Hemispheric countries at the moment. We have begun to pour billions in the development of domestic space capabilities there and public-private endeavors of scientific development facilities throughout rural Cuba. While Cuba will retain it's traditional sugar cane and tobacco agricultural roots, we are bringing Cuba well into the 21st Century and a hub of mutual goodwill for advancement of nations on this side of the globe," spoke Welks on Cuban development. "Next, we are deepening our existing partnerships with the two other major American powers, Faraway and the American Commonwealth to continue the stability of North America for the foreseeable future with deepening economic and military cooperation, while emphasizing greater pan-Canadian integrated cooperation with Faraway and the Republics of Newfoundland and Labrador. Obviously, as you have seen, our robust transportation network spans North America, making it the "go-to" transport network to send things from coast-to-coast as being one major stable nations nearly spanning from coast-to-coast. As for natural resource development, we are second to none in various commodity extraction expertise in North America, supplying ourselves with 100% of our own petrol and other precious metals. The Great Plains have benefited from excellent wheat harvests year after year, rivaling returns that could only be found in the Confederation of MidAmerica. While much our focus continues to be regional, we would like to seek improved relations with South America and Europe, as we have solid relations with the Far East at the moment."
  7. The Hudson Bay Federation extends diplomatic recognition of Icelandic government. Welcome to the world stage and wish you the best in your country's future. - Hudson Bay Foreign Affairs Ministry
  8. Federation Space Command has ordered increased surveillance with current Northern Watch surveillance satellites to observe developments in the North Atlantic Ocean. The FSIA SIGINT post on Baffin Island, seeing an uptick in classified, encrypted traffic has advised Federation Arctic Command of manpower shifts to the Far North from existing bases in southern Hudson Bay. A few air mobility wings consisting heavily of C-17 Globemasters would be arriving at Joint Base Ellesmere Island soon afterwards. The Chiefs of Staff have continued to place Hudson Bay Armed Forces at DEFCON 3. Additional satellites for space surveillance for the Northern Watch program would be launched from the Cienfuegos Space Complex as part of the celebrations of the new launch center. These new satellites would continue to provide Hudson Bay intelligence continued view of the Americas without degrading capabilities. RSC-240s would begin patrols in the Arctic Ocean and Greenland Sea to observe radar signature data in the region and process it for software updates for HBAF aircraft warning receivers.
  9. OOC: Hate to be a downer, but the Northwest Passage is not an international waterway that can be used as simply passing through en route to somewhere else and requiring icebreakers for safest passage. IC: The presence of the Russian fleet would be noted by the Hudson Bay Federation and inquired on their intentions on encroachment on Federation territorial waters. Federation Coast Guard icebreakers would be on an intercept course from their western base in the Yukon. After the initial confusion and coordination for getting through the NW Passage, Federation Coast Guard icebreakers would lead the way for the Russian fleet.
  10. My geography has failed me, thank you for the correction. :P
  11. Great Northern Times Edition 13 Election 20XX: Foreign Minister Jordan Brady Wins with 56% of vote; Federation Progressive Democratic Party captures majority of Lower House! WINNIPEG, MANITOBA - Former Chancellor Douglas Welks of the Federalist Party lost yesterday's election to Jordan Brady, Welk's Foreign Minister during his last term in a hard-fought campaign. The war against the PSSA swayed voters over to Minister Brady, who was more dovish to seek a peaceful resolution to the escalation of issues stemming from PSSA actions. At the FPDP headquarters, Jordan Brady made his victory speech to his supporters in a festive environment. "Today. The FPDP and the citizens of the Federation have won a great victory of progress. The citizens of this glorious Federation have spoken with one voice and have brought us to power to fulfill their wishes. Myself and other elected party members will seek to enhance our agenda within the Federation and globally. Remember this citizens... Canada! Jesus! Freedom!" Political analysts were slightly confused by the last statement on Canada, but it was downplayed by FPDP officials as post-election festivities were underway and Brady wasn't one hundred percent sober at the time. Meanwhile, the legislative elections showed a strong win for PDP members to ensure a prediction of sweeping social internal reforms for the Federation in the coming term. PSSA War Concludes; Federation Redeploys ALEXANDRA, LOUISIANA - The piles of the dead Federation troops were being loaded on a cargo bay of several C-5s at Alexandra Air Base in Louisiana. The Federation commander in Louisiana, General Charles Davids proclaimed, "The success of the defense of the CMA by an aggressive PSSA force laid out in limiting their ground offensive capabilities over the Mississippi River; however, it did not come without a cost. The defense claimed over 25,000 Federation soldiers lives in the CMA defensive theater. Overall, the Federation suffered losses of just over 50,000 in total as vicious fighting took place without much external assistance in the theaters we operated in." The conclusion of the PSSA conflict has made Federation Armed Forces policymakers to make significant decreases in forces deployed in Louisiana, Cuba and Mexico, roughly a 50 to 75,000 decrease in forces deployed outside of the Federation and bring most of the soldiers home. Thousands Travel to Persia for Socialist War! WINNIPEG, MANITOBA - Field Marshall Triyai Triyunovich Triyunovsky's message of a glorious war of freedom of a German curtain of oppression over Europe has grown to great fervor globally as thousands worldwide took to the call of keeping the light of socialism alive in Eurasia to the embattled peoples of the Caucuses. Several thousand volunteers originating from the Hudson Bay Federation heeded the call of volunteers and a cheerful thong of people could be seen at several airport bound for Persia. They flew flags and chanted socialist slogans in their optimistic view of going to fight for the glorious cause.
  12. I should remind that I have the South Georgia Islands, and the new southern border of the Hudson Bay Federation along the CMA border is now along the Missouri River. I suppose you can also add Cuba to the Federation.
  13. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Federation troops have sealed off Isla de la Juventud and Cayo Fragoso from the public for ongoing radiation cleanup for the foreseeable future. The Federation will bear the cost of the official cleanup efforts as peace has returned to the island of Cuba. Federation force deployment to Cuba will reduce to 50,000 personnel and the contingent near Alexandra, Louisiana will be reduced to 40,000, pertaining to the peacetime draw down at the conclusion of the PSSA conflict. Also, the JLAOF peacekeeping operations in Mexico will reduce by 60,000 to 140,000. The drawn down forces will be returning to various home bases in the Federation. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Hudson Bay Federation Armed Forces will be undergoing a strategic initiative to redevelop it's radar defense network and platform denial capabilities in light of the PSSA conflict. The Joint Chiefs of Staff of the various armed force branches have issued policy directives to their subordinates to go about this task. It is expected that all ground radar will adhere to a capable, interoperable, mobile platforms to supplement aerial over-the-horizon radars in reduced manpower and maintenance costs. Aerial over-the-horizon radar networks will continue to be the primary backbone of the first line of defense for the Federation and are looking to other aerial platforms to supplement the E-5 AWACS in the aerial radar role. Various internal defense companies will be competing to see this defensive shift occur, as well, as development of improved anti-air defense platforms with possible new ground and/or aerial anti-air assets. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hudson Bay Space Command has completed the new internal space launch complex at Joint Base Cienfuegos. Meanwhile, commercial development of a Cuban Space Complex has gone forth to various companies in the Federation and other foreign companies, Phase I is expected to begin within the month. Construction of another space tracking and weather station would begin on one of the South Sandwich Islands for Hudson Bay Space Command to give them unprecedented view of space assets circling the southern Western Hemisphere.
  14. "It is a pleasure to meet you President Patton," as Welks returned the handshake. "Pictures have never done justice to the magnitude of the destruction and subsequent recovery efforts. We have been reluctant to steer the other American nations so far; however, the collapse of Mexico has left a power vacuum over the continent that we saw needed to be filled. Our cooperation with our neighbors have been paramount to our success of seeing the Federation's regional foreign policy be wildly successful." They would walk through the park for a bit, surveying the last remaining damage of the war. The entourage would stroll to the other end, where a large park was. It was cleared out in advance by FDS agents to allow a Federation Chancellor's helicopters to land in a large clearing in the park. Inside the helicopter, they would fly northward towards Churchill along Hudson Bay to a government estate to continue official diplomatic talks and observe some polar bears. Once inside the helicopter, some water and basic edible refreshments would be served as a they flew over the Winnipeg skyline northward. "So, tell me Mister President, while enroute to see some polar bears, tell me about your country," said Chancellor Welks.
  15. Well, the SDI rule is likely to be changed on light of the outcome of this measure. Only ballistic missiles would fall under the SDI rule, since SDIs are realistically only to stop various ballistic missile threats and not other nuclear delivery method, although, more conventional defense methods exist on those counters.
  16. Chancellor Douglas Welks would arrive in Washington DC to meet with foreign governmental officials on the cessation of hostilities.
  17. Hudson Bay Federation Armed Forces are returned to DEFCON 3, INFOCON 2, and FPCON Alpha. As the conclusion of operations against the PSSA, post operation missions went into effect. Hudson Bay Northwestern Mexico Peacekeeping Forces around Monterrey, Mexico suffers losses of around 15,000 in extended heavy urban fighting with PSSA forces in vicious close quarters combat throughout the city. Federation detachments throughout the Nuevo Leon, Tamaulipas and Coahuila provinces suffered greatly in the initial ground retaliation against them, claiming another 9,000 personnel throughout the region. The NW Mexico force was deemed combat ineffective, only saved by valiant efforts by Federation Air Force CAS mission to support the embattled divisions against great odds as additional reinforcements gathered to move north. The Federation military facility at Cienfuegos, Cuba escaped total nuclear devastation, unlike counterpart bases hosted by Faraway and Chile were in the opening minutes of the war. The base suffered from heavy nuclear fallout from the nuclear blast on Isla de la Juventud, the base quickly moved to full MOPP gear. While Federation planes were ramping up an airborne operation on Florida when the cessation of hostilities broke out, the mission for Federation Air Force and other personnel was recovery and radiation monitoring work. This would not be too new to Federation Armed Force veterans, senior enlisted or officers that the memory of Winnipeg lingered. A modified C-130 plane with radiation measuring equipment was flown in from the Federation to Cuba to begin the grim work of recovery and assessing the damage at both bases. There would be little left of either base as Federation forces began their aerial surveillance. Federation forces in Louisiana nearly lost half of their force in their attempt to defend the Interstate 20 defensive zone from the swelling wave of PSSA troops that were drawn across it as the rest of the Mississippi River crossings were destroyed. Federation tanks and IFVs littered the roadways and forests in central Louisiana with PSSA tanks and IFVs with thousands of artillery craters dotting the landscape. Dark, bellowing smoke rose from the I-20 corridor as a testament to the heavy fighting that took place in the region. More of the same could be seen on either side of the Mississippi on the entirety of the PSSA-CMA border. The Federation base at Alexandra, Louisiana was virtually destroyed and combat ineffective due to the large volley of cruise missiles that targeted the base facility. However, in the grim aftermath of one of the worst wars fought in North America in recent memory, the Federation looked to the future and to rebuilding it's assets and assets of their allies.
  18. I suppose the SDI thing should be another topic here.
  19. I for one like this idea. It's flexible, yet realistic.
  20. 1) There would be zero splash damage from the nukes except for fallout radiation from the nukes. The base is well outside of the destructive power of either nuke on either base. Cayo Fragyso is just over 70 miles away and Isla de la Juventud is about 160 miles away. Depending on prevailing winds in the Caribbean, may only see light fallout from Isla de la Juventud. Such a counter operation would be easily feasible with underestimating the power of your nukes, so, I would strongly digress from myself editing my point. Your mistake sir. Points 2 and 3) Your sixth generation fighter is fighting an air war without support of radar and other air dominance assets. However, I do have a bigger air space awareness picture on the matter. You wouldn't even have enough sixth generation squadrons to fight every thing that was being responded to, you don't even have a number attached to it. I'm simply going to fly more sorties with a bigger picture to cut the effectiveness of your fighters with simple fifth generation air superiority fighters to prevent you from attacking my CAS missions. Even if your F-35s are flying low, let's assume your F-X fighters are escorting them at nearly the attitude, well, their stealth is being compromised by my AWACs, so that "advantage" disappeared. I can ignore the air dominance because I know where all your important stuff is and I have the assets to deal the blow more quickly than you have on me with your air assets with the carrier. 4) The moment your fighters crossed the Mississippi River, flying low, they got caught with their pants down due to AWACS. I can't speak for President David; however, you put all 10 F-22 squadrons at the mercy of being easily killed. With my RSC-240s studying your radar signatures for sometime before the war, I know the RP is minimal; however, it has been studied nonetheless. You are pitting F-22s vs F-22s, however, your tactics isn't effective to have your other assets to assist in shooting down other fighter jets by flying so low. Even then, your AESA radar is not as effective at low attitude as my radar coverage at higher attitudes. 5) Blowing up the bridges would not be as difficult as you make it out to be and you simply seemed to ignore that CMA forces were already at the river with your forces. This would not be hard to have a fixed structure to be brought down on short notice. Aside from that, that would mean your CAS raid on enemy artillery and armor companies would be quite spread out thinly as mobile and/or static artillery did their work as the attack occurred across a 400 mile front. While the cruise missile would be subject to your air defenses, I would disgress since any of your radars being on would be targeted at the same time at this moment. You simply are relying too much on your Patriots and S-400s to save you from this task, but the weakness is those fire control radar sites. You didn't even dedicate air power to protect the bridges from aerial counterattack per se. The bridges were important to the overall battleplan anyhow, regardless of previous RP or not. It was a tactical objective either side could see without RP'ing it. 6) Do you even know what AWACS and J-STARS do officially? They don't jam stuff. Makes them even a bigger flying targets, thanks, I suppose. Attacking Memphis and Vicksburg isn't "deep" into your nation. I could reedit the post to have even more anti-radiation missiles on known radar emission sites that were turned on. I would like to spell out that once your fire control radar are out on your S-400s, they are pieces of ground junk, fyi. Oh, and I have attacked your AWACS and J-STARS as well. Although, it seems I could be flying over you since you like flying low to the ground... I did tell you before that I was going to show you how to battle against superior numbers... I can't even say technology, since most of the technology is so exploitable and the weaknesses already defined. I have to admit, your 'attack' post is silly, that the only thing to really show from it was the pathetic use of nuclear weapons.
  21. Hudson Bay military communications was a tiered network structure that had only a few external gateways to the what was the "global internetwork" that were constantly monitored to limit disruptive traffic. The DDoS attack against the Hudson Bay military network would be noticed by the Defense Information Systems Agency personnel at the various external gateway monitoring stations that tracked in real-time data traffic and shutdown the link to the " external internet". Various non-critical computer systems would experience slow loading times and disrupt some daily functions at various bases throughout the Federation; however, the downtime would be encompass several hours on those networks. Critical networks, networks that needed to be disrupted by the PSSA to be even close to effective, escaped unscathed and continued on with normal operations to conducting the counter-offensive operations happening in Mexico and the Southern Midwest. Federation satellite tracking stations in Federation held bases would begin targeting known PSSA communication satellites to begin operations to severely disrupt their coordinated offensive in Mexico. These trajectories would be submitted to the American Commonwealth and Chile to begin the war against effective communications. The Kennedy Space Center and other known space launch facilities of the PSSA would be actively targeted to destroy space capability infrastructure, infrastructure that couldn't be rebuilt quickly. The Federation would attempt to do this by shooting ASAT missiles at the satellites at it's base in the Pacific Ocean while PSSA ground space facilities would be targeted by Federation B-2s with F-22 escort from Cuba to ensure their destruction. Mexico The level of distrust between the Federation and PSSA at higher level tier government communication traffic was not a surprise, but still a surprise that an attack would occur. As the potential conflict between the Confederation of MidAmerica and PSSA grew, so did the contingency plans for an offensive as that war would have dragged the Federation into the fray. While the PSSA gleaned intelligence about Federation forces in Mexico, the Federation did the same thing back as well. Working together had its setbacks for both sides, since nothing was too secret for physical concealment; however, weaknesses existed. Northeastern Mexico Peacekeeping Operations Region where the PSSA forces were tasked to oversee was jointly patrolled by a contingent of 45,000 Federation troops. Most were housed in Monterrey, Mexico with the main operating base built there. Command and Control structures in the region being used by the Federation were to be disrupted or taken over by PSSA forces as they turned on Federation forces; however, the damage to the network would maintained to be isolated to that region only, while they attempted to gain access to networks, it would be hard with needing the CAC and PIN to access such networks. Classified information buildings were already heavily defended and personnel proceeded to destroy classified communication equipment and other classified information was cross-shredded into sawdust particles, burnt, smashed into small bits, fired upon, exploded and/or magnetically wiped as per Federation instructions on destroying classified information before falling into enemy hands based on the scale of threat and timing before falling into enemy hands. PSSA forces would not be surprised to see some buildings demolition to the ground with C-4, if such structures were close to being taken over. Federation ground forces would sustain moderate losses of nearly 2,000 as the six squadrons of F-35s flew into northeastern Mexico; however, the "surprise attack" by the PSSA would easily fool ground radar, it would be picked up by loitering E-5 AWACS flying over Mexico. Flying low to the ground would make sure the jig was up for PSSA action in Mexico and an attack was underway. This information would be relayed to patrolling F-22 and F-15SE air superiority fighters flying in CAP formation. PSSA didn't realize that the Federation never left DEFCON 2 status since the escalation between MidAmerica and PSSA. The six squadrons of F-35s would be met by an eventual eight squadrons of mixed F-22s and F-15SEs, to readily disrupt their ground attack mission, although not to prevent the incoming attack. Since the F-35s were equipped for a ground attack mission without significant air support would be caught into a losing aerial fray, not escaping easily back to their carrier group to sustain their losses against more maneuverable planes. The Federation aircraft would not even bother to fight the F-Xs to make sure PSSA ground attack capabilities were to suffer greatly. At the same time, Federation air assets begin their long-awaiting contingency plan against the PSSA for the initial defense of Mexico and MidAmerica. Information gleaned by RC-240 aircraft had been monitoring in Arkansas PSSA radar usage and SIGINT gathered in Cuba to form an effective battle plan against a seemingly bigger force, but their weakness laid in their eventual isolation from being supplied from the outside world. All know PSSA Mexican Ground Command and Control centers, ammunition facilities, communication facilities, radar facilities, solider housing, and vehicle maintenance facilities would be struck at immediately with cruise missiles, A-10s, B-2s and F-15Es with significant support by F-22s, AWACS and E-10 J-ABMCS. EJ-130s would eventually on patrol to jam PSSA radio traffic to hamper offensive operations. There would be zero recourse for this betrayal. Embattled Federation forces around Monterrey would be coordinating with the E-10s to maintain proper close air support, enhance the battles pace picture and continue to deny PSSA forces with the same capabilities. While the PSSA may have a navy, their capabilities would limited as their un-stealthy aerial assets would be targeted to reduce the effectiveness of whatever support advantage they would begin to think to offer. The 1st CVBG would simply degraded down to shooting missiles at Federation assets, that was the objective as the the mission lied in isolating the 125,000 strong PSSA force in Central Mexico, cutting them off from resupply. It was to show that having a naval fleet clearly wasn't enough to support operations of 125,000. While losing static ground radar sites were a loss, the aerial radar picture was much better for the unfolding battle for Mexico unfolded. PSSA hypersonic cruise missiles couldn't be countered; however, the Tomahawks launched from the 1st CVBG was more effective, seeing anti-air sites take aim at the sub-sonic missile with a 30% success rate; however, the losses sustained on static ground radar sites could not be overcome. The Federation Northerneastern Peacekeeping force in Monterrey with roughly 45,000 would begin to hunker down for a protracted urban warfare setting against PSSA forces as Hudson Bay Federation forces from other sectors rushed in from the south and west to contain PSSA forces in the area, and losses were expected to be heavy for the Monterrey forces. In the meantime, the Federation chiefs of staff authorized an additional 125,000 from Canadian prairie bases into western Mexico and Texas for the defensive and counter-offensive operations going on, with nearly 60,000 already ready to depart in less than 12 hours, although the time to move them, was a different story. While PSSA had the number, they clearly underestimated the assets they needed to fight a protracted ground war in Mexico. Mississippi River Region OOC: Yes, I've counted the bridges across the Mississippi. Even this attack would mostly be blunted right off the bat due to the heightened state of alert in the region already. What would be a surprise on any other day there was not so much Federation assets watching PSSA airspace and the Mississippi River border than even the slightest move to the river and cross it would be deemed an attack. There were only a handful of bridges that crossed the Mississippi River that would allow such an offensive to happen, without them, such an offensive would be impossible to succeed. In this, the Hudson Bay-MidAmerica contingency plan regarding a PSSA attack was drawn up shortly after the second PSSA "exercise". All these bridges were to be targeted for demolition, except for one to funnel PSSA ground forces into a predetermined "killbox". It was determined that the Interstate 20 bridge at Vickburg would be the bridge to lure PSSA forces across. Bridges targeted for demolition with C4, cruise missiles, artillery and/or bombs. Interstate 10 and US 190 at Baton Rouge and to Lafayette/Krotz Springs US 90 and associated bridges at Morgan City, Louisiana Louisiana Hwy 10 at New Roads, Louisiana and Melville Louisiana Hwy 1 at Simmesport US 84 at Natchez, MS US 82 near Greenville, MS US 49 near West Helena, Arkansas Memphis, TN bridges Interstate 155 near Caruthersville, Missouri As PSSA forces attempted to cross all these bridges, it would be in vain however. PSSA commanders would look in utter horror as their forces bottlenecked themselves on these chokepoints as MidAmerican and Federation troops observing the bridges took to action, demolishing them into fine rubble. PSSA forces that managed to cross over would fine themselves in an isolated world, cutoff from their forces, either to sustain heavier losses or surrender. The demolition of bridges around Memphis was tricky, Federation force observers called on MidAmerican artillery to hamper PSSA force advancement as Federation Air Force and a squadron of A-10s, a couple sqadrons B-2s launched a combination of JDAMS and cruise missiles on the bridges and the main roads throughout the Memphis metropolitan area to make the city impassible for PSSA armor forces. As for Vicksburg, Federation air launched cruise missiles from B-2s lauched a volley into the city to reduce armor mobility through the city to retard the PSSA advancement across the I-20 bridge. Without effective control of the bridges, the PSSA offensive of 250,000 was significantly reduced to a more manageable stream of men to kill. Federation tanks hid along the Interstate 20 route to begin the turkey shoot that was occurring. Federation AWACs were quite aware of PSSA surveillance of the MidAmerican border; however, it was Federation doctrine to deny PSSA that information in the event of a war. J-STARS and AWACS platforms would be initially targeted as the ground war begun by Federation F-22s, using active radar homing missiles or anti-radiation missiles on those platforms. RSC-240s flights earlier gleaned information on PSSA radar sites and made software upgrades to target air defense radar sites to make the PSSA Patriot anti-air defense system ineffective. This would pave the way for long-range bomber flights from Joint Base Minot by B-2s into PSSA territory on their air bases there, escorted by F-22s. Like the F-35s in Mexico, flying low to the ground exposed them horribly to the radar of Federation E-5 AWACS, which would make for easy pickings by Federation F-22s and F-15SEs and MidAmerican aircraft. Ground attack missions of any sort that flew into CMA airspace would be met fiercely by air superiority fighters, making their mission to be quite ineffective when the PSSA didn't even attempt to come close to dominant the air space they were trying to operate in. While the Federation airfield in Louisiana would be deemed ineffective in the opening volley of the war, the Federation would commit up to 35 squadrons from various Federation bases to various CMA bases and southern Federation bases to bring the balance of the air war up to par with the operation at hand. As for the ground war, the Federation would advise MidAmerican forces to pull back along the Red River while trying to keep the enemy around Interstate 20 engaged in the fight into the CMA.
  22. It's nearly impossible to make any significant damage to the network, except knock out unclassified networks temporarily as the classified network is separate from the unclassified network and command and control networks are classified networks. The external gateways would shutdown access from the outside "internet" from Federation military internet. External attacks can be easily mitigated and isolated quickly. Also, I hate to disappoint, access to the Hudson Bay military network is highly controlled. Even though you are having peacekeeping operations in Mexico with me, I have not RP'd you having official access to the network. The American Commonwealth and Faraway have no ready access to my classified networks either that I have RP'd.
  23. I would like to digress as a person who works with communications equipment that malware designed to "overheating/make it perform other actions" would not be directed to communications directly; however, to isolated AC control stations. Also, the Hudson Bay Federation military network cannot be simply spy rolled in one turn and can be easily mitigated from attacks from outside networks, just an fyi.
