==01 Invasion of Ottomans==
01 has launched a surprise assault on the Ottomans.
However, they made a fatal flaw: sharing the attack with possible allies.
One of these allies has leaked information to the Turks, enabling defenses to be built up. It is going to be a bloody massacre. Millions will soon die.
The 01 airforce attacks - a massive 170 planes goes against 99. Fortunately for them, Ixis magic does not affect navies and air forces.
First wave of 20: 9-11
Second: 14-6
Third: 6-14
Fourth: 10-10
Fifth: 6-14
Sixth: 8-12
Seventh: 13-7
Eighth: 7-13
Ninth wave of 10. 5-5.
In total, 78-92.
The Turks are left with 21 planes 01 with 78 in the warzone; 25 of 01's planes are airlifted from south of the Sea, but will not be available until next turn.
01's strategy hinged on destroying the Turkish air force and navy first - the navy would prove daunting a target, given 01 has 75 ships to the Turks' 75 after both sides' reinforcements are calculated. Neither side engages eachother as to strike first is to lose the battle.
The war on land proceeds, therefore, without either side receiving air or naval support. 01 has 61 armies to aid in this enterprise, and the Turks have 54 to defend.
First wave of five: 1-4
Second wave of five: 2-3
The attack is called off due to it not going well. 1 01 destroyed; 3 captured, 3 retreat. 2 Turks destroyed, 1 retreat.
In total, 01 makes off with 1 province and a little population/Industry therein. Neither side has a clear advantage. Whoever betrayed 01, they've left their mark.
