At about 3AM this morning over 1,000 Libertas forces, (600 Special forces and 400 assualt) landed on the small mountain village of Kuan Wae in a southwest Asian country, the operation was considered to be a get in get out, but at about 5AM it turned into a full on 3 hour long fire fight between Libertas forces and The troops guarding the base. The firefight was started when the troops were pulling out of the base and were cut off by the enemy soldiers. Their mission is still classified as to what they were doing, but we do know there were losses on both sides, about 50 Libertas dead and wounded with over 100 enemy combatants dead and 50 wounded, it was considered a victory.

The Nation that the operation was held against is named Seit Vein, a medium sized mountainous country is south west Asia.

At 10AM, 7 hours after the first official attack was held against it, the sound of Apache helicopters was herd over a base than the sound of Flak guns as the sky blazed with missiles and machine guns from the choppers over head. As the sound of troops scrambling and screaming flooded the base, enemy helicopter drop ships landed and their troops began to fire on the base.
Commanders from both sides were screaming at their troops to get in order, and within 2 minutes Libertas soldiers were prepared and began to fire back.

Libertas helicopters took off over the base and blew up 3 drop ships and 2 Apaches before being forced to land for damage repairs.

By 11:30AM Libertas soldiers pushed most of the invasion forces out of their base, an official statement is still being awaited from Clarence Ray, president of Libertas, as well as death tolls from both sides.

1 in the afternoon....

The smoke in the sky is clearing and the smell of gasoline and burning things are in the air, over 200 Libertas forces had been killed in the raid, and troops are preparing for an
Attack on a village known as Kiut, at 1:30 the sound of Black Hawk helicopters is heard and than, through the smoke, over 13 choppers appear, within 20 minutes of taking off AA guns are firing on the helicopters, one is hit in the tail and 2 soldiers are seen flying out of it, as the chopper spins and smashes into the tree line. The first group of helicopters lands and about 70 LOP troops are on the ground running twords their first objective, a large sized building on the east end of the village. Unseen the troops silently take out the guards and then open fire on the village and regular soldiers appear as they run up the steep hill that leads to a tall guard tower, 5 troops are shot dead as heavy machine gun fire keeps them pined down, for about 5 minutes no body is moving and the LOP troops are beginning to mobilize, 1 LOP soldier plants 2 sticks of C4 onto the base of the tower and blows it up. A huge shock wave moves through the forest and a small hut about 20 feet away from the explosion is pushed over, showing a family of 4 running out of it. The soldiers finally push up the hill and move further into the village, allowing their tanks to follow, in 30 minutes half of the village is taken while 3 Abrams tanks are providing support. From the opposite of were the Libertas troops are, over 3000 enemy forces are firing from the other side. Armed with heavy MGs most of the LOP troops are pinned down. Avoiding casualties the leader of squad 442 of the LOPs orders his men into a small building 50 yards from their current position, running there was a problem, 2 were injured and 1 was killed in the cross, but it distracted the enemy soldiers long enough for the regulars to push up and take them out.

By about 3:45 PM there are 2500 enemy soldiers guarding the lower east end of the village, repeated air strikes are being called on a large building were once again heavy machine-gun emplacements are found, a Black Hawk appears behind the smoke and lands on top of the building, allowing 3 more LOP soldiers to enter the building and clear the MGs.

At 5PM there was still about 1000 enemy soldiers guarding the last part of the village and 3000 Libertas soldiers pushing up from all angles.
But, right as they hit their last check point an Abrams exploded and flipped over, landing on 2 soldiers, a large hole was in the ground and it had been discovered that they had placed Anti Tank mines all along the roads, an immediate stop was held as engineers ran up a pulled out the mines, right as they began to push up, a large group of about 500 enemy troops surrounded the front line and began to fire on them, killing 300 Libertas troops, after a short scramble they began to fire on them.

At about 7:38PM Libertas soldiers finally pushed into the lower east end of the village, liberating the people, and clearing it of all opposition.

This evening 45 "Tomahawk" Cruise Missiles were launched against the city of Guan, over 40 civilian casualties and over 5,000 Seit Vein soldiers were killed.
A statement released by Clarence Ray states that

"[i]We tried too keep civilian deaths to a minimum, but many of the troops stationed were in bases very close to down town.[/i]
No other attacks are being planned for the rest of the day, and day 1 of The Seit Vein Conflict is considered, "already one of the bloodiest conflicts in modern asian history." with over 7000 deaths, in under 12 hours.

"[i]We will try to have this conflict ended as soon as possible, the more deaths that are counted for, the worse this whole thing gets.[/i]"

Another very popular question being asked,
"[i]What were we even doing there??[/i]"

and

"[i]Why were so many soldiers being used for a, small intelligence operation in order to free oppressed people.??[/i]"

[b]Day one of Hill Siege[/b]

2PM....

A very large and strategic military base is being held outside the city of Saulm Gau, there is a light overcast overhead as Libertas troops are training, resting, and
repairing vehicles.
At about 2:45 a bright light appears in the sky and smashes into a Black Hawk being repaired by 2 men, one flys back and stumbles upward, the other one was killed upon
impact. The Black Hawk was hit by a cruise missile fired from the city, all the soldiers line up and get ready for an attack.
At 3:15 nothing has happened and the soldiers are confused, snipers take the places of regular infantry men and began to spot near by scouts and enemys.
By 4:15 nothing has happened and all the soldiers prepare for an assault on the city, but, right as the first Apache Helicopter is taking off it explodes, a huge
trail of smoke leads down to a tank that had fired on it, engineers scramble to their positions and take out the tanks with their M20 "Super Bazookas". Right as the tank explodes a loud yell is heard and then a roar, as the soldiers look over the short hill they are on, they see 15,000 enemy soldiers running towards their position. Libertas
troops line up in a trench located at the top of the hill and fire down on the oncoming soldiers killing 500 in the first 30 minutes of fighting.
At 5:45 half of the Seit Veinese troops have pushed up half of the hill and are firing mortars into the base, 3 Havocs take off from the base and take out another 200 enemy troops and 5 mortar emplacements before all being shot down, 2 of the pilots were recovered but one died on impact.

By 9:31 most of the fighting has calmed down, small camps are located all up and down the hill, both sides tend to their dead and wounded and create tomorrows battle strategies.

Black Hawk landing after trying to find last pilot, unfortunetly, he was never found and pronounced dead upon impact.

Its 11:30 at night, small fires are lit all around the mountain showing the Seit Vein troops camps.
Libertas troops would fire on them but are waiting for ammo planes to come and give them supplies, along with a couple classified items.

Libertas snipers take guard and work on patrol around the clock to make sure nobody sneaks in, off in the distance explosions in the nearest
city light up the night sky, the subtle booms are somewhat haunting and relaxing, an ominous look into what the soldiers will be
in for...

[b]Day Two of Hill Siege[/b]

It is 9AM and the sound of a large carrier plane, up above huge crates fall from it and parachutes open to ensure their safety.
Yet, as it seems only food and Ammo is being dropped, until, a very large object falls out the back, and two parachutes are needed to land it
without doing any damage to it. When the object lands in the center of the base, the troops are in awe, it is a tank they have never seen before, a
M73A1 "Tiger" Battle Tank. The base commander walks up to it and stands on top of it,
"This, men, is a new generation of war." The troops look around excited and nervous, "The M73A1 Tiger Battle Tank, still untested in Libertas, and do you know
what today is? Yes, the testing day..."

Four engineers run inside and get it started, while they figure it out the soldiers scramble all around the hill firing strait downward at the on coming assault.

At 10:20 the tank begins to move and than, finally, fires its first shot. A deafening sound is heard and the trees spread apart like the red sea, the missile smashes
into a squad of Seit Vein soldiers, killing all twelve of them.
Everything stops, the Libertas soldiers all look back at the tank in awe, than begin to cheer and scream as they fire back down the hill.

At 5:45 the fighting died down and most Seit Vein soldiers are making camps and resting...

Its 10AM and intense fighting is occurring all around the hill.
Seit Vein soldiers are slowly pushing up the hill, while Libertas troops are scrambling to get to their stations.
The "Tiger" continues firing shells into the advancing soldiers slowing them down, but not fast enough.
At 3:45PM 3 Black Hawk helicopters take off and fire on the soldiers, soon after dropping off 45 Libertas troops near the base of the hill.
The 45 Libertas LOPS make it half way up the hill before they find something, the downed pilot from the first day of the attack, by 5:00 they manage to get back up
the hill and drop off the downed pilot.


At 7:53 the fighting is still going strong, many soldiers were lost on both sides, the last shot of day 3 is fired at 9:18...
