Military Events
After a brutal cmpaign of terrorism and guerrilla warfare, Pro-Slavic terrorists in Greece have finally come to power. An attack on the Greek parliment in Athens left most of the government members dead. The new leadership declared a complete merger with Slavia and beat off rebel factions of the military that opposed this. (-Greece as an independant faction, +1 Economy to Slavia, +7 Slavic Divisions, +9 Slavic Naval Squadrons, +2 Slavic Air Squadrons)
In Latin America, the struggle for survival takes a turning point. Bolivia is completely overrun by Incan forces and then overrun again by the advancing Paraguans. The Sun God's Armies are defeated in Chile with a Chilean-Argentinian offensive which also drives the Incans from the coast. The Incans are on the defensive now, facing an onslaught of Paraguan and Uruguan-Argentinian forces. (-Bolivia as an independant faction, -5 Argentinian Divisions, -1 Uruguan Tank Division, -7 Paraguan Divisions, -1 Paraguan Irregular Division, -2 Chilean Divisions, -7 Incan Divisions, -9 Incan Irregular Divisions, -8 Incan Conscript Divisions)
The Islamic Umma is collapsing in on itself. In the East, Kazakh rebels began a crushing offensive alsongside the invading Slavs. The Slavs, although haveing little instruction or leadership, managed to gain ground in Northern Kazakhstan while the rebels focused their attacks in the North-West. In Central Africa the Muslims found more defeat as African Union supported rebel armies smashed through the weak Islamic military positions. The Central-African force made many gains in many directions from the rebel controlled area. The Africans also made a marine landing in former Oman and managed to push inland towards the Saudi heart of the Empire. The Muslims were weaken by a second Israeli offensive causing Islamic losses in th Sahara, Turkey, Iraq and even into Saui Arabia itself. More rebellions erupted, this time in Turkey, where the Turks captured the lands of Istanbul and the surrounding area. In Iraq the Israelis found some difficulty. The more experianced Muslim fighters fought to the death in the urban street battles. However, Israeli merged victorious yet again, due to the fatc that they had air support and that the Muslims were fighting on many different fronts. But that was not all. Italic forces invaded Northern Africa and the Islamic forces, already too spread out and too weak, were forced to captulate. In Sudan and Southern Egypt the Israeli offensive made all Hell break loose as many various peoples fought for power against the Israelis, Muslims and each other. But the worst happenings took place in Mecca when the Saudi Caliph was overthrown by Prince Abdurahman, his cousin, who is anti-war. Peace could be brought to the Islamic world if the new Caliph can negotiate with the leaders of the enemies arrayed at him.

In the East, war was also brewing. SEA-CO Naval Forces engaged and destroyed most of the Chinese fleet while SEA-CO Air Forces, supported by their new Samurai Sealth Bombers, dog-fighted the Chinese air force into submission. Massive battles were held all along the Chinese coast with the same conclusion: SEA-CO total victory. On land, however, the SEA-CO forces began to encounter difficulty with the sheer size of the Chinese Army. Hainan Dao was captured though, as well as a large group of land between Singapore and Thailand. The SEA-CO forces were also suprised not to see India forces alongside them and the ambassador in New Delhi demanded why. The response was simple: We have no alliance with you. Now the SEA-CO has dragged itself into a one man struggle with China. It was Naval and Air superiority but things could go wrong on the ground. (-19 Chinese Divisions, -3 Chinese Tank Divisions, -21 Chinese Naval Squadrons, -17 Chinese Air Squadrons, -11 SEA-CO Divisions, -4 SEA-CO Naval Squadrons, -3 SEA-CO Air Squadrons, -1 Samurai Stealth Bomber Squadrons)

'Never have the atrocities commited in World War I been commited again... until today.'
First it was one rocket... Then another. Soon three rockets were blazing towards German positions in Ireland. It was a clear spring day and the rockets were seen coming about five minutes before. There was little panic... until they hit.
The explosion was not too large but the cloud that came out was. Green gas flooded out of the craters and into the German soldiers lungs. They gasped for breath until they died shortly after. More than a division worth of soldiers were lost, to five rockets.
The theater commander was killed in the attack and his second in command viciously ordered his troops to attack the Celtic positions-which was against Berlin's orders. However, within a week, the rogue commander brought all of Ireland under German control. He was to be court martialed but news of the Celtic Chemical attack reached the Chancellor's ears and the General did not face the court martial.
The Germans renewed their offensive against the Edinburgh pocket with new battle tanks reaching the front. Another Celtic rocket was fired (actually four of them). But these went past the German soldiers- and into London. The city was in havoc. Thousands died and the pollution got into the water supply which flowed out into the ocean. Soon illnesses were being reported in mainland Germany, Holland and France. At the same time, another rocket hit in the English country side killing hundreds more and infecting more rivers and water resources.
Another attack happened in Northern Scotland. But this time mostly Celts were killed as the weapons were not developed enough to kill on the basis of genes (which the Celts thought they were). This were designed to be ethnic lceaners but they instead inflicted damage on themselves. This attack provoked some Celts to volunteer for service in the German Army Militia.
The, in August, the Germans commenced their final assault on Edinburgh. The final rocket detonated inside the city killing the defenders, citizens and attackers. The rage burned in the Germans who practically leveled the city during the attack. Any Celt seen for the next twelve hours on the street was shot.
The next day the Celtic government (or really the Minister of Fisheries, the only remaining govenrment member) surrendered. This Minister was jailed for life immediately after signing the treaty. Peace has been brought to the British Isles but the damage done by the five chemical attacks stills lurks. Hundreds have died on the German mainland and also in Italic France. Some illnesses are starting to be reported in Norway and Sweden. Thousands more have died on the British Isles and London has lost it's position as an Economic Center. It was a tremendous event, but it should not happen again as the fanatical Celts have been crushed and the weapons used have been destroyed. Or have they? (- Kingdom of Celtica as an independant faction, -London as an Economic Center, -2 German Living Standards, -1 Italic Living Standards, -9 German Divisions, -2 German Tank Divisions, +2 German Irrgeular Divisions)

Yiou have a good NES
) will not keep its gains in africa as they are just that African. The AU seeks to unite African for once and bring stability to this continent that has been so ravaged by almost all things European. However let it be made clear that the AU will take NO military action agianst the IF. We truely hope that the IF understands the reason for this struggle to unite.
