  1. "This is Franz/Byzant Battlegroup 0852, approx 35mi SSW of Boosaaso, requesting immediate air support from all available allied Units, over."

    Not a minute after this call, a response came from a Saborian CAS-squad that happened to be nearby.

    "We heard ya. ETA 2 minutes. There's also some groundforces going into your direction."

    Two minutes later, the close-air support fighters unleashed their weaponry on the rebel locations nearby the allied battlegroup, clusterbombs killing many of the rebels while napalm was used to force them out of their hiding places.

    At the same time, about fifty tanks and more than a thousand Saborian soldiers were moving from Boosaaso towards the battlegroup. They had originally been tasked to go in a straight line to Garoowe, but several rebel outposts had made that impossible, so they only now could advance southwards.

    In the meantime, the mainforce in the north had cleared the caves of the Shimbiris-mountain of rebels and began to advance further eastwards. Heavy airsupport weakened basically all rebel bases in their path, with the ground forces mopping the rest up. Soon, they were on their way to Berbera, another stronghold of the rebels.

    By now, a total of 481 soldiers and 13 tanks had been destroyed by the rebels, while 4 aircraft were downed, with the pilots surviving, luckily. Most casualties had been taken while taking Boosaaso and the Shimbiris mountain.

  2. 'Amerikaner Reich' sounds wrong in my german ears.

    'Amerikanisches Reich' is grammatically correct.

    'Grossamerikanisches Reich' may be a bit long.

    Edit: Also, 'Festung Amerika' sounds nice.

  3. Oh, we didn't know that. Sorry about that. :unsure:

    The XBox 360s and the games were loaded into smaller transport ships and returned to Kararsehir. Meanwhile, the ship continued on to Jan Mayen.

    (We considered throwing the XBox 360s out into the water, seriously. :awesome:)

    Don't do that. Throwing them into the water would make the oceans rise by several meters!

    OOC: No, I'd be a great Pope. I'm slightly eccentric, mad for power, and would use my papal authority to meddle in affairs I have absolutely no business meddling in.

    [OOC or something, lolwut. This is the Mapthread, we don't really need OOC here.]

    Perfect Pope, now Gebiv needs to appoint you. lol :awesome:

  4. OOC: right, but that is also a century old technology. We have come a long way in tech since then, and will go even further in the next 20 years...

    [OOC]And we still can't make helium carry more than a hundred years ago.

    Properties of elements don't just magically change as we advancce technologically.

  5. [OOC]

    Question: How big will the hospitals be? A full state-of-the-art hospital with hundreds of people and all that stuff is essentially impossible to lift without *gigantic* investments.

    A hospital with 60 or so people and equipment, sure, that's possible, although still somewhat more expensive than say the Hindenburg.

  6. Because I don't think mud is what he meant.

    :awesome:

    Odd. Maybe the Mod who censored my "mud-slinging" comment has a grudge on Mud, due to unfortunate events in the past regarding Mud in the house and the Cat :awesome:

    Oh dear, oh dear. emot-master.gif

  7. We will be looking for a base station for the North American Team (one hospital LTAA and one warehouse LTAA)

    Then we shall provide the hangars and maintenance-crews for these ships. The hangars are at the Imperator-airport near our capital, Ferinh.

    [OOC]

    Here's where the capital is:

  8. Honorable as always, Vaule. You chose not to turn it into a !@#$-slinging festival. Rather, you simply declared that you'll redraw your borders.

    That I like. Well done for your professionalism and maturity.

    Why'd your censor 'mud-slinging'? :awesome:

  9. OOC: uberstein this will be for nations well above your tech level

    IC: as the Republic needs the work, we will happy to provide them at the cost of (OOC: sheesh what would be a good price.....) of 100,000 million for two of them

    [OOC]100,000 million?

    That's a 100 billion, quite a bit.

  10. The army group heading south from Boosaaso had encountered heavy resistance from the Somalika Front. As they had not enough forces to do a proper encirclement, they had to trick the enemy into believing he was encircled. It worked for one of the outposts, but another one had to be bombed into oblivion before its defenders could starts their retreat. There were two more major outposts between the Saborians and their allies - but dozens of minor ones would slow the advance down to a crawl, each having to be destroyed.

    Meanwhile, the forces advancing towards the Shimbiris had more luck - and equipment - to deal with enemies, as they could reduce several of the fortifications to rubble with their powerful howitzers. Interestingly, no enemy artillery had been encountered until now, but it was only a matter of time until the Somalika would bring howitzers.

    General Mackensen suspected at least two dozen pieces of artillery on or near the mountain Shimbiris, even though recon planes could find nothing aside from a number of caves which could easily have been used to hide equipment.

    "So we'll have to check almost every cave...That will slow us down immensely. Damnit."
