Sadly my past PM orders are gone with the wind thanks to PM limits.

However I maintained some orders...

Spoiler KaiserIOT1 Stuff :

Ailedhoo said:
The Gethic have plans.

We are to use our five claims to claim the four provinces of Malaysia and the single small isle province that is the city state of Singapore.

Note: is Singapore counted as a province in itself?

Now to additional orders.

The question of the San Jacinto Guerrillas must be answered. If they do not accept our offer to surrender (which would have allowed them to be exiled) then have Marshal Kasun Thyrng deployed. First scout out the location of the rebel hideout using spy plans to review the woodland and agents from the Forgotten Eye to deploy as supposed would be recruits for the guerrilla movement. Once located begin mobilization but do not approach the wood with our troops for we have a great offer. Have our bombers deliver nerve gas bombs to the woods the rebels use as a hide away to bring pain and death to the enemy. Note that the spies we sent will not be alerted of this as a means to hide their presence. If they have anti-air guns then have the MIGs deployed as escort for the bombers launch napalm rockets at the locations of the gun fire. Once the gassing (and the likely forest fire from the napalm) have passed deploy a squadron of coreguard to covertly approach the rebel position; a division of troops leaded by vanguard will also be deployed to overtly approach as to provide a diversion. The coreguard are tasked to flank the rebel position; assault rovers will be deployed to aid in this operation for both overt and covert approachments so we can flank. While the overt division is supported by tank and APCs the coreguard will rely on pinpointed far rebel groups to our MIGs for a quick chemical rocket sweep... though this time not napalm. Even if the group survives the mission, codenamed Operation Duck Hunt, will show our enemies why they should not stand against our might.

At the same time a campaign of hearts and minds must be conducted in Wyoming to both make the rebels unpopular and to ensure the legitimacy of the Gethic occupation. Henceforth have a radio campaign to broadcast the virtues of our 'peaceful' society while condemning the guerrillas as criminals who have lit the forests as a stance against humanity (for the record have our surveillance services be set to keep people away from the targeted woods; the campaign should make it appear the guerrillas had accessed air-power but these planes were later shot down over a remote, unknown location as the 'official' story will go). The campaign will include a Hollywood film to be produced titled "The Village Front" which will depict a "historical" account of how a squad of Vanguard protected a village in Utah from raiders. This film may aid in our efforts to convince the locals of our glory and peacefulness. We will also set security to make newspaper stories of the supposed unfaithful nature of the guerrilla leadership and of a rumor of a little (white) girl being kidnapped by the Guerrillas and later found dead by vanguard searching to liberate her from her jailors. Be sure to have a photo of a vanguard taking off his mask and the sign of his tough face having mass tears softening it as we gazed in sorrow at the corpse (I will leave the corpse to the director of the piece...). Make her existence up (call her Anna Spring) and pay two low key actors to take up the role of the supposed parents. Play them up as a the honest God fearing type as a means to promote a feeling of duty in the public. In the end I want Vinsin Vancore to appear the liberator and the Guerrillas appear as villains.

Commence geological survey of Wyoming of minerals; focus on developing mines for uranium for our atomic projects but not neglect other minerals which may prove useful to our industrial efforts.

Have our networks in Texas continue, including with profiting from the arms sales with criminals.

Continue Moon Dagger's investigations into Timberwolf; avoid engagement of conflict with the figure.

Have a shipment of nerve gas and 15 assault rovers delivered to the Central Asaian Republic for request they are set by air if possible to our Yugoslav allies.

Deploy our spies in Egypt to begin a smuggling network; we our to smuggle arms like in Texas to local criminal groups as a means to divert Egyptian authorities, as well as smuggle 50 vanguard through Egypt to the Med were they will be smuggled on a boat to Yugoslavia to come under the services of the Yugoslavian government. These vanguard are to be set to aid in training and to serve as the heads of attacks when the time comes.

Commence our nuclear and fusion research with Germany, as well as Korea if possible.

Continue hover research with Anartica.

All to Vancore's vision: hail him!

Vancore,

I'm sure you've heard by now that Magnum pretty much took Curtis Bell to town along with half of the Matadors. I'm getting the rest of the cretins here to make sure none of the seized weaponry gets traced back to you at the moment, but I think I have a way we can recover this.

Obviously it's going to take more then some PTS-ed marine with a machine gun to keep Magnum busy, so I have a better idea. A colleague of mine who was good with robotics conversed with me often on the subject of bonding flesh and steel into an amalgam compound with polymorphic capabilities, and with the right subject I could recreate such a process.

In layman's terms, I can make someone to deal with Magnum that's a little more durable.

If you're interested, I already found someone. An old flame of Mr Bell that's in ICU at Mercy Hospital because he decided to throw her under the bus, literally and figuratively. She's unstable enough to turn to crime, and if we're lucky the first thing she'll do is try to silence her ex for us, permanently.

Keep me updated, I have all the tools ready.

To our agent, Dr Anthrax

It is with sovereign permission you conduct this experiment. The subject will not only aid your efforts against Magnum but could prove a source to a cybernetic program for Science Division to research to develop for the purpose of military progress. Inform Alexia Plutus that she is to capture the subject with her networks; her group may pose as medical staff as they retrieve the subject. When you have access to the subject conduct the means of tomorrow so she can prove use to the Gethic efforts. Whether the subject succeeds or not you and Alexia Platus will be tasked with ensuring the subject will after success or failure be summoned to the Gethic Hand's lands for intense study by Science Division for a new weapons program; you are making history by ensuring a new breed of warrior to fight for order and peace comes active: the cyborg.

On the time being we must learn more of Magnun. Moon Dagger would be good for such task as he is skilled in stalking prey but he is at hunt of information over Timberwolf at the moment. For such purposes one of Moon Dagger's apprentice, Sir Blackhand, will be asked to do a investigation on Magnum to locate any weaknesses. We know he is a show blitz but we need to find his potential moment the fat lady sings. Sir Blackhand is a skilled marksman but also trained in the stealth practices of Moon Dagger; as such he will be set to work to find out information. Perhaps he will infiltrate a film studio that Magnum may have links to as a means to research this "hero."

As for Curtis Bells he has conducted his use; with Texas not expanding to where it should not we will have no further direct usage for Bells but the crime in Texas does demonstrate the chaos the country suffers. Find (or make if you must) more clients to supply to. Magnum must not be out of business and I want competitors for Curtis Bells less he grows lazy from a monopoly. That said it is vital Bells does not spill any information linking to the works of Dr Paul William

Ailedhoo said:
Will peace in Europe the orders sent on the 31st of October will have the following notions attached:

1) There will be presumed no need to kidnap the Eastern Emperor: cancel that operation.

2) Only donate 5 jet fighters to Yugoslavia as a taken of respect instead of the full load. Will no longer need to set military aid to our allies, though we will ship industrial and humanitarian aid to them, as well as humanitarian aid to Romans.

3) Be on alert with Mexican airspace. We will yet not presume there is a war (to allow claim of Somalia and to ensure the legitimacy of any conflict) and instead will focus on having garrissions on the alert. Jet fighters and other aircraft will patrol Gethic airspace bordering Mexican airspace, while destroyer patrols will be near the Mexican sea space as a means of scouting for any invasion fleets. Our first aim is hence to be on the ready in case of Mexican invasion, especially on usage of bombers for this "bomb." If its a tactical nuke be ready to fire down. We must be prepared in case we are stabbed.

4) Have our counter-intelligence units begin to overview our major cities and military facilities to keep a eye for possible covert deployement of this "bomb."

5) Transfer our covert networks in Texas to Mexico to both ensure peace with Texas and to begin to keep eye on Mexico. First set up a spy network to keep eye on Mexican governmental information, while secondary set some arms supplies still in our hands in Texas but not distributed to any cartels in northern Mexico.

6) No need to infiltrate Italy: have those agents be deployed in counter intelligence.

Overall continue our claim efforts and other elements of the 31st Oct orders.

Spoiler the orders I posted on 31st Oct :

Ailedhoo said:

The Gethic will claim three lands:

They will be set with standard military operates but Somalia will be a testing ground for Gethic hover tanks: we will fully test how effective our research packs with Anartica were.

Now we march to our other orders.

Direct the air bound delivery of medical, industrial and military supplies to the Yugoslavians; this will begin will long hauled flights but with Somalia under Gethic dominion we will use Somalian air fields as a way point for secure supplying to Yugoslavia. In light of possible tracking by Roman air forces have the cargo planes escorted by fighters but also have the cargo planes delivering civilian aid be set to be tracked, while military supplies are set to avoid attraction. Military aid will take form of infantry weapons to artillery pieces to even a few assault rovers and light tanks.

Donate 15 jet fighters and 15 jet interceptors to the Yugoslavian government: these will be used to counter bombers. Also supply 5 nerve gas delivering bombers to the Yugoslavians for their own usage.

Remember the cover mission to kidnap the Emperor of East Rome while he visits Germany: the orders were set in an earlier PM.

Continue the counter insurgency against the San Janinto terrorists. Redeploy Moon Dagger from his investigation mission in Texas to conduct a investigation and assassination mission of possible San Janinto leaders; we must locate the heads of this beast, even if it is a hydra, and decapitate. Moon Dagger should hopefully hunt them well by infiltrating their ranks. Meanwhile have our Vanguard and Coreguard deployed in Wyoming to be the focal military instruments in this operation; less about large armies here but more strategic and tactical strikes against the key points of the Janinto movement. We will tone down hence our fire bombings but will however consider the deployment of drone strikes with nerve gas missiles attached as target practice. Avoid deploying them at settlements. Focus on tactical termination of the San Janinto criminals.

Continue our propaganda campaign, with a special investigation report highlighting a cover story that the Lander Crash was a San Janinto plot to murder civilians; have our intelligence services seek out a defector from San Janinto to give a interview live on Truth News to "confess the San Janinto plots." We must take out of the heads that the crash was linked to the Gethic war effort against San Janinto and a accident of war but rather we paint our enemy downwards. Big lies work better than small ones.

Continue the Alpha Economic Plan, will special attention to improving mining and infrastructure in Wyoming as part of our heart and mind effort.

Have our scientists develop a new type of interceptor aircraft, code named "Bird of Prey" which will serve as a special air-to-air missile 'boat' style fighter; these we may call Hawk Guards.

Finally have our agents infiltrate Italian military networks in attempt to get details of Italian air force strategic bombing plans; grand the details of any plans stolen by us to the Yugoslavians for their defense effort.

A Tale of Common Things Turn One, Qing Empire's Attempt to not fight the Opium War. Essentially I agreed with the East India Company to buy a set amount of Opium per turn and they would only sell directly to government agents, who sold to the people. In an effort to avoid the problems the Qing had with the British, I negotiated a deal where the Qing would only pay 50% of the contract value in silver, the other half in levied goods.

Propaganda campaign - I'm not entirely sure if this would fall underneath an intel mission I would need an agent for. If so, just put this money into my infrastructure spending.

But if I can do this, I want a massive propaganda campaign launched against Bulgaria, Romania, and my own people, promoting Pan-Slavism, the glory of the Slavic people throughout history, and why they need to come together as one. It should paint the Slavic Union as the champion of the Slavic people's destiny, and the Slav's only hope for significance, safety, and prosperity in today's dangerous world.

Education Reform - The children of the Slavic Union need to be given a modern and uplifting education, balanced around history, mathematics, and the sciences. This reform will revolve mainly around building schools, and providing the ones that are already around with the resources and manpower they need to effectively teach. It will also help fund students seeking to further education past the mandatory initial 12 years.
The first 12 years should focus on a balanced education, up until the last two where it can begin specializing as students grow up and begin to know what they want to do with their lives, and thus the initial phase of education will be mostly about giving students the skills and knowledge they need to survive in the world, along with a taste of higher learning. Especially instilled in young Slavic students is a sense of national pride, which will be a core focus of every lesson where it can be applied, and near the end of the 12 year mandatory education period there should be material concerning the military and its benefits and opportunities readily available to students not seeking to further their education; this will be to drum up potential manpower reserves to bring into the active duty military.

In terms of higher education, it shall be largely, if not entirely paid for, by the central and local governments when concerning education in scientific, engineering, or other similar fields to help cultivate the next generation of scientists, engineers, and inventors. The next several years of higher education should also have an emphasis on Slavic patriotism and nationalism, but less so than in the mandatory education period; it is more important for them to be properly educated past the mandatory education period than brainwashed. The education reform bill will use its money to provide for all of the above.

Definitive version of both. Correcting incoherent AS numbers (I was counting as having 1 AS less than I actually do) and erasing those dot-lines.

Spoiler Phase One :

Spoiler Phase Two :

Spoiler Operation River Flood :

Spoiler Set-up :

Setting up:
The Northern Offensive: Operation Flood

Spoiler :

The English force composed of 30 divisions will land in Antwerp, protected by the whole Belgian fleet and 10 flotillas of the Royal Navy.

15 British divisions in three Army Corps will form the Atlantic Army Group, with the goal of occupying the French ports in Normandy and Pas-de Calais.

5 British divisions, along with 8 German divisions, will form three Combined Army Corps which jointly are to be named the Central Army Group. This Central Army Group has as its main goal the conquest of Paris. Due to the invasion being through the most strongly fortified French frontier post and being the smallest Army Group, it is equipped with half of the total armoured vehicles in the Northern Offensive group.

The whole of the Belgian Army, along with 10 British divisions will form the Ardennes Army Group, with 4 Army Corps. Due to having to cross the Ardennes, it has the least armoured forces of the three armies at the Northern Offensive.

The Southern Offensive: Operation River

Spoiler :

The Iberian Army will focus its forces at both ends of the Pyrenees, where crossing is possible and most likely, with the two Mountain Divisions heavily fortified and entrenched in their positions in Jaca, in the Aragonese Pyrenees, to resist any possible invasion until help can reach the lines.

In the West, in San Sebastián, 4 regular infantry divisions will be ready to cross the border, equipped with 5 modified Schneider CA1 carrying artillery. Additionally, there will be a Marine Infantry division and an armoured division equipped with 40 Renault FT-17 light tanks and 10 Schneider CA1 heavy tanks, on top of several armoured cars and regular trucks carrying infantry.

5 regular infantry divisions will be in La Jonquera, ready to cross the border, equipped with all available mobile artillery that are the clumsy modified Schneider CA1. A Marine Infantry division and 2 Armoured Divisions will be waiting in the port of Roses, training for a record-winning fast landing.

Spoiler Phase One :

Phase One: Deluge

Northern Offensive:

Spoiler :

Spoiler Initial movements :

The Ardennes Army will invade France through the Ardennes, in the French-Belgian border. The first and westernmost military objective of the army is the town of Sedan, in the British sector. One British division should fall back to secure the town of Charleville-Mézièrs. The Easternmost immediate objective of the offensive is the village of Longwy, near the Luxemburgish border. In the initial advance the towns of Bogny-sur-Meuse, Vivier-au-Court, Carignan, Montmédy and Longuyon must be taken.

Once these positions have been reached, the Atlantic Army will cross the border between the port of Dunkerque and the town of Steenvoorde, these included. If possible, the coastal advance of the Army will receive support from naval elements.

Once all of these positions have been reached by both armies, the Central Army will launch its push through the towns of Lille and Valenciennes. The Armoured forces will push through the second, due to it being a weaker position as it is not such a populated area as the surroundings of Lille. Bailleul, Armentières, Roubaix, Saint-Amand-les-Eaux, Vieux-Condé, Maubeuge and Jeumont are objectives secondary to Lille and Valenciennes. The 2nd Combined Corps, with most armoured divisions, is expected to reach and secure the populations of Denain and Cambrai as well.

Spoiler Advance :

After these initial movements, the Ardennes Army will advance further to reach the city of Metz. Along the way it should secure the positions of Stenay, Verdun, Thionville, Hayange, Rombas, Jarny and Ars-sur-Moselle.

The Atlantic Army will push and fight its way to Calais, Boulogne-sur-Mer, Étaples, Berck and Hesdin. The Atlantic Army will secure ports and supply routes along the occupied territory to improve the logistics of the offensive. The main supply line to secure is Calain/Dunkerque-Lens/Lille in order to distribute supplies to the Central Army elements. The Atlantic army will receive all of their supplies in the coastal positions reached.

The Central Army will advance to occupy the conurbation of Lens, with a dozen populations of great importance. Its advance should reach Arras, whereas the 2nd Combined Corps should reach the population of Saint Quentin to secure a supply line to the Ardennes Army, which will have little need for supplies due to a much lesser presence of vehicles in their ranks. The Central Army shall be in charge of organizing supply lines and plan new supply lines as it advances through enemy territory.

Spoiler Final movements :

The Ardennes Army shall use all trucks and vehicles it can find in secured populations to thrust itself towards the outflanking of the Maginot line thanks to the occupation of Sarreguemines, Brumath, Strasbourg, Colmar and Mülhausen. The 4th British Corps will open the march, and the 6th British Corps will stay behind to secure the town of Metz and the supply lines, as well as to fight any enemy elements that may have passed unseen in the proximity of the city. The Belgian Army will be tasked with surrendering most of the borderline fortifications of the Maginot Line, whereas the British forces will lead the attack on the most important positions and clean the path.
The Atlantic Army will turn south to occupy Saint-Valery-sur-Somme and Abbeville. Then, the 1st and 2nd Corps will turn west to advance against Normandy while the 3rd Corps occupies Amiens. The 1st Corps, with the 1st Armoured Division, will be assigned Le Havre as primary objective, and Rouen will be assigned to the 2nd Corps. If possible, the Army will push to Caen.
In Saint-Quentin, the Combined Corps of the Central Army will split. Its Armoured and Mobile Infantry divisions will target Paris, while the rest of the corps will secure Reims to open a supply line to the Ardennes Army in case it is unable of breaking the Maginot line and thus it cannot receive supplies from Germany. These forces will march to occupy Troyes to avoid any possible flanking of the Ardennes Army. The rest of the Central Army will follow the Armoured and Mobile Infantry Divisions towards Paris.
Upon completion of the first phase, the regions of Haute Normandie, Nord-Pas-de-Calais, Picardie, Champagne-Ardennes, Lorraine, Alsace, Franche Comté, Île-de-France and a portion of Basse-Normandie will be under control of the Allied Forces.

Southern Offensive:

Spoiler :

The Marine Infantry division in San Sebastián will disembark in Bayonne and secure the city to flank the French border forces. An Armoured Division in San Sebastián will land in the secured beachhead and march to Bordeaux the next day. The Marine Infantry Division will disembark some artillery and equipment and will put a siege to French border positions. If French resistance can’t be broken, more Infantry will disembark via San Sebastián-Bayonne to put pressure. The Mountain divisions in Jaca will be ordered to advance and occupy Pau and Tarbes to cut supplies coming from Toulouse for the French positions.

The same will take place in the Mediterranean. The Marine Infantry division will take Perpignan and allow for the safe landing of an Armoured division to march against Avignon, the primary target of the first phase. By taking the coast, the enemy won’t be able to receive supplies from ports or their allies, since the main connection with Italy is the coastal road of Nice-Toulon-Marseille. Another Armoured Division will disembark to march against Toulouse and Montauban, and the Marine Infantry division will have the modified Schneider CA1s to try to break enemy positions.

Whenever the enemy resistance is broken, all divisions shall pursue its primary targets: Bordeaux, Toulouse and Avignon. The occupation of Montpellier is imperative due to its condition of capital of the Region. Once the first phase is complete, the regions of Aquitaine, Midi-Pyrenées and Languedoc-Roussillon will be under Iberian occupation.

Spoiler Phase Two :

Phase Two: Drainage Flow

Northern Offensive:

Spoiler :

The Atlantic Army will advance towards new objectives. The 1st Corps, with the 7th and 4th Divisions from the 2nd Corps will finish the occupation of Basse-Normandie and go into Brittany to occupy Rennes, later advancing against Nantes. The 3rd Corps with the remainder of the 2nd Corps will march against Le Mans and Cholet to reach their final and most immediate military objectives.

The Ardennes Army will fall south from Alsace and Lorraine to Chalon-sur-Saône and Dijon, with 7 divisions and 4 divisions respectively. All remaining forces are to come down to Chalon-sur-Saône to push South if the Southern Offensive doesn’t reach its objectives.

The remainder of the Combined Corps in Troyes will finish the occupation of the west with the taking of Auxerre, the last important city in the route from Paris to Dijon. The rest of the Central Army will occupy the region Centre, with the Armoured Divisions headed for Órleans and Chateauroux, the Mobile Infantry Division (with the back-up of a Regular Infantry division) will target Bourges and the rest of the Central Army will occupy Blois and Tours.

Southern Offensive

Spoiler :

The Armoured Division at Bordeaux will rush to reach its final objective, Poitiers, and secure it. One unit from the division will advance to the border of the region to meet up with the Allied Central Army. Behind the Armoured division, one regular Infantry division will march to take Niort, while the Marine Infantry will assault the most important port of La Rochelle.

The forces gathered at Toulouse and Montauban will advance to Limoges and Clermont-Ferrand respectively. The Armoured Division in this group will go first to take the crossroads of Brive-la-Gailharde. Two infantry Divisions will accompany it to Clermont-Ferrand while the other three take Limoges. With these cities taken, units from one division will advance to the border to meet with the Central Army forces arriving there.

Of the four divisions in Avignon, the three regular Infantry divisions will be assigned the take of Lyon, to later break up and take one Bourg-en-Bresse and meet up with the British forces, and the other two to take Grenoble and secure the road to the Italian border. The Armoured division in Avignon will take Marseille and wait for the Marine Infantry stationed in Montpellier to march on the naval base of Toulon and finally the port of Marseille.

Spoiler Final comments and preventive measures :

In the end of this second phase, all of France will be under Allied control except for Brittany and the naval base of Brest, which will be taken by the forces of the Atlantic Army as soon as it is possible.

To prevent French naval intervention in the minor landings of the Southern offensive, the Iberian Navy will carry out a few diversions around Toulon with the Dedalus aircraft carrier to keep French vessels away from Roussillon, and the French Navy in the Atlantic will be too busy with the naval British bombardments to care about the landings in Bayonne.

Expenses:

30 to spend.

16 on bribes.

5 on improving forts along the Galatian and Avarian border.

9 on hiring mercenaries.

War plans:

The War of Anatolian Revenge

There is nothing more despicable than those who break the right of guests to travel unharmed, and the Pontic savages have done that and more. For this reason alone they stand to be punished.

However, there is a, as they say, rub. Galatia not only had the insolence to ally themselves with them, but they are holed up in the mountains. The much more important war is to come, and thus our strength cannot be spent on meaningless pursuits such as the Galatians. Thus, the plan is thus: our army will ignore the Galatians entirely, save 6 divisions left to guard the border in the forts in the mountains near Galatia. Instead, they will thrust into Pontus and make straight for the coast, and travel along it to the capital.

They will burn all they see, for this is their heartland and a military presence there will crush their trade and economy. Moreover, our cavalry superiority and three siege trains (we shall leave two behind) will let us a) avoid the enemy if we need to and b) not get bogged down sieging cities. We have a massive numerical advantage, so as soon as we see the enemy we are to crush them in battle lest they have a chance to meet with the Galatians. If we find they have met with their allys forces, then the 6 divisions left on the border will surge across into Galatia and pressure the Galatians.

A couple contingencies:

We crush the lone Pontics. In this case, we send 4 divisions to reinforce the Galatian border forts and march to the capital. The war should proceed smoothly from there into a two pronged attack on the Galatians, with the other two siege trains moving to support the southern forces.

The Galatians meet the Pontics and try to attack. We keep out of range until we find a defensible position and wait for engagement. If they sent their entire force, then we are numerically equal (actually down one but whatever) and roving about their country, breaking morale. If they dont send their whole force then we are numerically superior.

The Galatians make it past the fortified border. If this somehow occurs even after improvements, then we abandon the war and make peace. We dont want to come out of this worse for the wear, and I doubt the Anatolians want to start a long bloody war with their better.

If we have not won over at least one kingdom within five years, make peace and recoup losses.

The Great Albanian War

Send 8 EP to the Afghan and Persepolisian satrapies to arm troops and thus rebel.

The combined weight of Scythia, an unhelpful Persepolis and open rebellion from their main money maker should weaken Albania considerably. Thus, on year 7, we march into the western part of their empire (leaving Persepolis alone) and conquer the lands. Most of the army will be split between the east and the north, and I would not be surprised if we could make it to the capital without a battle. However, it is important to engage any army that stands in our way so that we can cow Albania into submission. I imagine our generals can take it fromt here, but the gist is to capture the capital and emperor. Make sure to send all loot captured north to Scythia.

If we lose, retreat to the border and dig in. The combined weight of two rebellions, incessant raids from the best cavalry in the world and the loss of their eastern lands should prevent them from mounting an attack, but if they do I can trust our spearmen to hold. Once they collapse we pick up the pieces.

If we win, we will grant Afghanistan independence but immediately march on Persepolis, preferably with some manufactured slight to back us up. They are isolated from the rest of the kingdom, weakened from warfare and massively outnumbered. It should not be a fair fight.

If we lose, burn what we can and leave, hopefully with a significantly weakened Albania behind us.

The war against Egypt and Co. is a long one, no doubt.

The first move is to hire 45 mercenary companies. Yes, 45. The deployments are thus: 25 along the Ghassanid border, 17 along the Arabian border. The remaining 3 plus the six we already have will be stationed along the Galatian border in the forts there (note that this is along the original border, as Pontus is not as important).

For normal forces, we will station 10 infantry and 6 cavalry near the coast, for rapid deployment. The remaining 2 infantry will join the Galatian defense force. Three siege trains will join the Ghassanid attack force.

Troop movements will be thus:

The forces attacking the Ghassanids will march to Jerusalem and lay siege to it. If the Ghassanids attack we will not engage but instead retreat to the mountain passes and make our stand there. The terrain is almost ridiculously favorable. If they retreat then we ravage the land near their capital. If they attack we butcher them with higher numbers and better terrain. If they refuse to engage there we bite the bullet and attack head on.

5 of our ships and 10 of Mazuns will escort one of our siege trains to Axum to be used in their campaign, and we will pressure Mazun into building a siege train and sending it along with ours.

Axum will hire 25 mercenaries. They will engage Alodia with 40 units (30 infantry/mercenaries and 10 cavalry and their 1 or 2 siege trains). They will make straight for the Alodian army and kill them in the field and then siege the capital. 10 mercenaries and 5 cavalry will attack Arabia from the south, moving along the Red sea so that naval forces can provide support. Once the Alodian capital is captured, 3/4 of Axums army (25 foot, 10 cavalry, their siege trains) attacking Alodia will march up the Nile and capture cities, making for Alexandria as an attack force while the remainder subdues the rest of Alodia.

My 25 mercenaries will engage Arabia along the border. As soon as the situation develops either way, the reserve force on the coast will march to attack the Arabian khan via the Red Sea. The mercenaries, if not tied down, will join them. This is an out-and-out attack and Arabias cavalry should be useless as well as caught unprepared by the naval attack.

Mazun will engage Arabia, striking for the major cities. At this point Arabia will have something like 65 units attacking them, plus whatever Yibram sends if they join.

At first Alodia will have 40 attacking them to exterminate their army. Arabia too loses this advantage unless in some miracle, but even so the sheer numbers are insane. After the first year or so the Ghassanids will have 55 or so units attacking them. Galatia has only 12 v 20, but terrain and forts combined should be enough to hold out. None of this includes Yibram, because as of writing their stance is unknown, and they will write their own war orders.

A blockade will be instituted along the Red sea by all of Axums ships and all of Mazuns, while mine will blockade the Egyptian coast.

So, from then on it is just a slug fest. Ill leave it up to my generals, but naval superiority, numerical superiority and hopefully strategic superiority all spell doom for the enemy.

War orders:

We may have 73, we may have 45. These orders assume 65. All excess men should be stationed in the Egyptian front until the amount of men there exceeds 40, then any more to the Persian gulf front, all lack of men taken from the Egyptian one. If the Egyptian front drops below 30 units total, then they should just defend in Sinai instead, with 8 units going to Persian Gulf front.

Our navy is to seek out the Ghassanid navy and destroy them. We have 4x the numbers. If they are in port, blockade the port.

Send 35 mercenary companies, 5 cavalries and 3 siege trains via the sea into Egypt to finish them off. We outnumber them, we have more experience, and the desert shouldnt be a problem due to the ships. Focus on taking Alexandria. Do this immediately as we have dealt with the Ghassanid navy. Once Alexandria is taken, mop up and then finish the army of the Ghassanids, and then leave a garrison of 20 mercenaries while the rest sail back. Have the forces split between 8 mercenaries aiding the Yibramese Red Sea front and the remainder helping out on the Persian gulf front.

On Persian gulf front, garrison our men at IRL Kuwait, using the forts as they are built as defense. This should be the remaining men. This is risky, as they will probably be outnumbered but honestly the lack of an offensive and overwhelming attacks on other fronts should make any planned offensive up the Persian coast an aborted one as they flee to help their fellows. The navy should be supporting the amphibious transport and siege on Jerusalem once the Ghassanid navy is dealt with, and then harassing Arabian shipping.

If, after the Ghassanids are dealt with and the forces in Persia are augmented with those troops, and there is still no sign of Arabian forces, our forces should march down the coast to Mazun and free them as per our promise. I doubt the native people will resist much, seeing as they were subjugated by force.

War plans:

Autumn campaign:

Spoiler :

The campaign will begin with intensive artillery fire around the positions faced by the 1st Cavalry and north of River Paranaiba in early March.

After a week, the 1st Armoured Division and the 1st Cavalry Division will execute a pincer move around the fork of rivers Paranaiba and Grande, the Armoured attacking from the North and Cavalry from the South.

The advance of the Armoured will be covered on its right flank by the 4th Infantry, which is already guarding the front in that area.
The newly recruited 10th will advance with the 1st Cav to solidify control of the pincer and support the attack of the 5th on the encircled area.

Should the 1 Cav find heavy resistance in crossing the Parana, it should simply cover the advance of the 10th and then turn westwards to swipe enemy forces on east bank of the Parana.

Artillery attacks by the 3rd Artillery over Grande should precede the attack on the encirclement and the isolated troops along the Parana river, with the Armoured putting pressure on the west bank.

September campaign:

Spoiler :

Should the Autumn Campaign succeed in all its objectives without incurring in major losses in the "mobile" divisions (1st Cav & 1st Arm), another offensive should take place as soon as troops in that sector have been redeployed. A minimum of 2 Artillery Divisions, 3 Infantry Divisions and both Mobile Divisions is required for the September campaign to take place.

Arm will take up positions in the coast, while Cav will be stationed by River Sao Francisco. The objectives are to clear the area west of the Sao Francisco of enemy forces., again by isolating the area and disrupting the enemy lines, attempting a pincer move. and then attacking the encircled area.

War Plans

Spoiler Image :

The first day of March with favourable weather forecasting, a general offensive will commence. All units will launch attacks on all sectors of the front. These will be aimed at positions of relative unimportance and badly defended in order to minimise possible losses. This first step has the objective to pin down the scarce enemy divisions. A couple days after these initial operations, the main attack will take place in the salient north of the Parana and the one on the Sao Francisco. Little resistance is expected due to total numerical superiority making manoeuvring impossible at risk of disintegrating the front and causing a total collapse.

The 1st Armoured will ram against the enemy lines west of the Paraná, aiming for the source of river Tocantins and then to hook up with the Cavalry Division north of Brasilia. 2nd Infantry, positioned behind the Armoured, is tasked with consolidating the gains and expanding them between the Paraná and Brasilia to lay siege to the city.

The 1st Cavalry will attempt a breakthrough with the 5th Inf just west of the Sao Francisco whilst the 6th Infantry will parallel its advance on the east bank until reaching the border. It is expected that the coastal area will be poorly defended and may fall in its entirety under the pressure of four divisions (3 Inf, 1 Art). 1Cav will follow along the border until it links up with the 1Arm, and 5Inf will consolidate and close the gap around the Paraná.

It is expected that the enemy will have no standing army left to defend its current territory, and that any scattered forces that may have survived will have been cornered in poor, isolated regions or forced into guerilla tactics.

In conclusion: this offensive is expected to yield total victory.

Of course, from IU you can only expect masive walls of numbers. Yet, seeing as I was one of the instrumental actors in the birth and and development of Middle Europe (who am I kidding, I tried to play Merkel) I had some wordy bits.

Other Orders
Padania, the Benelux, East and West Germany and Poland found Middle Europe. For most of the year, members of the cabinet have been meeting with East German and Polish counterparts in several rounds of negotiation which were also attended by members of the Benelux and West German governments. Finance Minister Gianni Taglia was consistent in describing the fruit of negotiations as “a long-lasting bond which represents one step closer to the old ideal of a unified European market.” When the charter was published, some voices asserted that Middle Europe would severely curtail Padania's sovereignty and ability to act independently. Answering this questions, Prime Minister Alessio Bellini said he has the utmost confidence on the President and his head advisor on foreign policy, Carlo Petruccelli. Repeating the latter's chant of “in union lies the strength of Europe, and in Europe's strength lies Padania's,” the PM qualified the negotiations as the success of Padania and Europe.

Padania leads European reaction to Chinese meddling. After China coupled its trade agreement with South Italy with a guarantee of independence, a surge of repulse has swept across Europe's nations, most of which have raised their tariffs with the Asian superpower. The first and most radical of them has been Padania, which has imposed a de facto embargo on Chinese goods. Padanian officials led by Carlo Petruccelli have stated that the Chinese are trying to meddle with European affairs and that its guarantee is but an excuse to station troops in Italy.

I just found the plans I made up after the SG security of our alliance was compromised... BACK IN IRON&BLOOD 2. I was Mediterranea (a godless mash of cultures on the Mediterranean coast of the Iberian Peninsula). I fought France, which was led by Arya126. This was my first IOT with some sophistication to it, and it was the first time I made maps for it.

From: Yugoslavia
To: Gethic

Would it be possible to provide us with aid? If Yugoslavia is defeated, you will lose your only major European ally while Math and Terran, who are your enemies, shall dominate the Mediterranean. In chat, Terran said that he is angry with your colonization of Africa and that he shall kick you out of Africa once I am defeated.

So, you should support us militarily.

Click to expand...

We wanted Somalia as a airbase so we could support you more directly: we will use it as a staging ground to sent air unit support to begin with, before we join the war. We will set out a aircraft carrier to support our invasion of Somalia: this carrier will also serve as a temporal runway for a cargo plain to transport industrial tools and weapons to your cause. We will in addition begin to fly Gethic war plane to be used by you as a loan, beginning with fighters to counter Italian bombers to nerve gas bombers to punish Italy. Though we are not in war at this stage (though next stage (ooc: turn) we will be able to make moves) we will begin to give you air aid so that you can counter your greatest problem; dem bombers.

Once Somalia is ours we will begin to launch through either Egypt or (if we must) co-operate with Mexico to bypass the Maghreb. We cannot start aiding you with troops until a marine passage is available, though we can use airfields in Somalia as staging grounds for Gethic bombers to target the "Emperor's" strategic grounds as well as Gethic fighters to will be eager to do dog fighting as well as shoot down bombers. Finally we will be ready to para-drop Vanguard and even Coreguard once we are in the war behind enemy positions, though you must co-operate with our intelligent services to enable them to be deployed wisely.

Though we are logistically unable to aid directly this moment (turn) we will be able to supply you with military air units and in the next moment we will start to rain nerve gas over Rome while our troopers will attempt to kidnap the "Emperor." In second thoughts... we might start this moment with covert activity by deploying a chemical agent in a "Roman" strategic point if need be; we will need intelligence from you to aid such operation.

Consider well.

Click to expand...

You do not need to bypass Terran. From what he said in the chat and other reliable sources, he is going to join directly the war this turn.

Also, will your air support come this turn or the next?

Click to expand...

This turn we will aid by donating aircraft (such as fighters) and conducting covert activity: next turn we will start directing our war efforts. We cannot do so though without logistical aid, hence the importance of Somalia for Gethic aircraft. Egypt would make a good channel to strike Turkey; we use Somalia as a staging base to invade the Maghreg puppet and then use the Canal (or if not then the Suez ports) to ensure we can ferry our troops to your cause.

This turn we supply you fighters and jet bombers; next turn we will rain chemicals over Rome and bring the "Emperor of Constantinople" to justice with aid of our tanks. If we strike through Gibraltar then Mexico will need to be deployed better for such purpose.
