New Harumf's continued belligerence towards the Sacred Holy Empire of Scythirus was tolerated enough. Now was time for action. Now was time to retaliate. With the formal declaration of war made, it was time to sail to battle. The Scythirian Retaliation started with the newly christened capital ship, the H.M.S. Voramix II, launched and leading the Scythirian naval fleet, which in turn not only carried tens of thousands of warriors, but also escourted noncombative naval transports that carried a couple million more of Scythirus' infantry. The trip from Scythirus to New Harumf would not take long, the projected arrival to be in a day or two... the distance between the eastern region of the Middle East and eastern Africa was not a great one. Scythirus was determined to see New Harumf's cities aflame and its leadership annihilated. The current tranquil conditions of the Indian Ocean were the calm before the storm that would soon come. Scythirus would have its revenge on those who had wronged it. And it would be a surprise! For the Sacred Holy Empire of Scythirus did not announce when it launched its fleet for war so that it may stealthly avoid interception by New Harumf's allies during its voyage. Any small patrols encountered would be utterly overwhelmed in such a hopeless battle. Death came on swift waters.... |

The Imperial Kasnyian Navy could not allow such acts of belligrence on the part of Scytherius go unanswered in it's own backyard. As such, they immediately mobilized their fleet to defend Kasnyian waters, and to send assisstance to New Harumf. |

OOC: For the purposes of discussion - the official regonal map displays my capital on the coast, i.e. where Dar es Sallam is located, but states Dodoma as my capital. If you consult the attached map, Dar es Sallaam is the political capital of New Harumf, where the vast majority of governmental and military offices are located. Dodoma is the Royal capital, where the King and his Court would meet, and is where the main residence of the Royal Family is located. Also, in Mwanza, there are major military facilities, as well as an additional Royal residence. |

Three battleships of the Imperial Kasnyian Navy, the IKS Sufranze, IKS Dast, and IKS Benedict, docked today in Dar Es Salaam to act as added protection from the incoming Sctheriyan fleet. Also, Kasnyia's expeditiary forces in Amhara have been reassigned to Dodoma to protect the Royal Family of New Harumf. The IKS Stephan, which had been in the Med to assist the Amharan operation, has been sent via the Suez to also give assistance in the West Indian Ocean. |

The Israeli Navy "Atalef" Battle Group - built around the Tel Aviv-class INS Atalef aircraft carrier and consisting two Bethlehem-class destoyers, two Haifa-class guided missile cruisers and one Be'er Sheva-class fast combat support ship - has left the United State of Israel's southern port city of Eilat and is heading south through the Red Sea. There are also yet unconfirmed reports coming from a high ranked source in the Israeli Navy that the Atalef Battle Group is also being escorted by one Jerusalem-class nuclear capable submarine. The Israeli Defense Minister Simon Levin said earlier afternoon that "our navy has been assigned to protect the USOI from any possible aggression from the direction of the Red Sea and to partol there. Should the events in Africa get more serious than they are today, we will consider sending this force to protect our friends in Africa from the illegal organization which is known as the African Confederate." When asked about the reported presence of the Jerusalem-class sumbarine in the Atalef Battle Group, Levin said that "I will not confirm these reports. And besides, the United State of Israel does not have nuclear weapons". |

6 Carrier groups, and the St. Michael Battleship Group have begun patrols in the Indian Ocean. The carriers St. Peter, St. Thomas and St. Andrew are patroling within a 150 mile distance from the coast, while the St. Elizabeth Rose, St. Emmanuel and St. Philip are partolling further out to sea. The location of the Battleship St. Michael and its accompanying fleet is being kept secret. Aside from the fleet on Lake Victoria, the 5 other New Harumfian Carrier fleets are staged elsewhere around the world. Artillary units have been posted on both Zanzabar and Mafia Islands, covering the direct route to Dar es Salaam, and armor has been staged inland between the Pangani river esturary in the north, and the Rufiji river estuary in the south, with the ability to quickly cover any attempt at establishing a beach-head in between. South of the Rufiji River, air patrols have been increased, and regular army forces have been deployed, prepared to push any invasion back into the sea. |

In addition to the IKS Stephan, two more carrier groups have been sent from Kasnyia to patrol the Arabian Sea, and are expected to see first combat against the Scytherian fleet. Meanwhile, the Kasnyian Imperial Army started to move into a massive staging area in Western Kasnyia to prepare for a possible land campaign against Scythirus. |

The Scythirian forces will have well outpaced many of the Harumfian allies before they could intercept the great armada, as many fleets belonging to these allies had to go around large swathes of land to reach the Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean. Scythirus exploited this weakness easily as they simply had to cross these bodies of water to get to New Harumf. Already most of a day's voyage past, the Scythirian Armada was steadfastly growing closer to Harumfian waters. It was at this point that one of New Harumf's own patrols was encountered, and the Scythirians wasted no time breaking into action. Their boosted morale and bloodthirst for battle in their valiant fight against the Harumfian menace allowed them a faster reaction time to attack the enemy fleet first. Fighter jets were scrambled from the Scythirian aircraft carriers and swarmed the enemy position while missiles targeted at the Harumfian vessels were launched. The enemy was hammered. Scythirus, as it always trained its troops to do, had the first strike. While the Harumfians were left with their retaliatory strikes, the Scythirian armada split into two groups. One was to hold this Harumfian patrol fleet at bay while the rest accompanied by the infantry transports went on to the Harumfian coastline, barely over a hundred miles away now. Scythirus had thought out its battle strategy long and hard before this war started. Next stop, New Harumf. |

OOC- Kasnyian navy is a blue water fleet, thus it patrols every ocean and sea... IC- The Kasnyians already at the Harumfian coastline were preparing for the armada's attack. The three battleships set up a perimeter around the harbor region of the capital, ready to siege any who came within their guns. The aircraft carrier IKS Stephan was also half-way through the Red Sea when they got word of the armada's sorties against the Harumfian Navy. They picked up speed and rushed as fast as they could to the nation's coast. The captain of the Stephan hoped they wouldn't be too late.... Meanwhile, the troops in Amhara had been airlifted out and sent into Dodona to protect the Royal Family along with their own guards. |

An expeditionary force of 20,000 New Medean Infantrymen had been arriving via air in Morogoro for the past few days. Their full number had as yet still not fully arrived, but about 12,000 hardened combat troops were more or less ready to follow a Harumfian order of battle when the Scythirans landed. |

The carriers Elizabeth Rose, St. Emmanuel and St. Philip took the brunt of the first Scythirian strike, and weathered well. Two cruisers burned, one destroyer listed badly and one supply ship suffered propeller damage, but the rest of the fleet countered. Missiles were dispatched toward the enemy's positions, while fighters engaged the attacking planes in vicious air fights. The attack subs attached to these three fleets also engaged the enemy ships and scored several hits. Meanwhile as the Scythirian attack fleet came within striking distance of the coast, artillary roared from Zanzabar Island, pelting many of the asault craft. Also in range was the battleship St. Michael the Archangel, and it's big guns began firing salvo after salvo at the approaching assult. Shore batteries also opened up as ground forces began to move toward the suspected landing areas. The Scythirians may have had the initial element of surprise, but the New Harumfian forces and their allies were going to make sure this was no walk on the beach for the heathen enemy. |

Emperor Hirak-Al Voramix sat in his private study, back still sore from the many small shards of metal and plastic that were plucked from it, listening to the transmission recording from the Second War of Succession. He had heard it many times before, but he was listening to it now to remind him of why he began this war. It was to remind him that he was far more human than his father was.... "...hammered badly by the Sistani ships, utterly defenseless. Regardless, we're retreating as fast as we can. Wait... what that? The captain's shouting something. ....NEW HARUMF! The Harumfians have come to our aid!" Much cheering fills the radio. "They're coming in to our ships close... they don't seem to be slowing. Wait... what's that they're firing at... at US??? WE'VE BEEN BETRAYED BY NEW HARUMF! I REPEAT, WE'VE BEEN BETRAYED BY NEW HARUMF! Oh God oh God oh God.... what is that stuff... it's causing red boils... oh SHIT! RED PLAGUE! WEAPONIZED RED PLAGUE.. AAAAAAAAGHHHHHHH THE PAIN!!!!" At this point there was a lot of screaming, and then silence. Hirak-Al gnashed his teeth. Those vile Harumfian bastards would pay dearly for that past atrocity.... --------------------------- The main section of the armada plowed on to New Harumf. Several frigates and battleships sustained severe damage, and a few only minimal. A naval infantry transport's engines were destroyed, leaving it crippled and bleeding oil into the ocean. Still, the main part of the armada continued hammering its way towards the New Harumfian coast. The Scythirian submarines helped in this aspect, their torpedoes taking on the enemy submarines that were causing their ships trouble, causing significant pressure damage. Bombers were scrambled from the Scythirian aircraft carriers, and began dismantling the infrastructure on Zanzabar Island. The priority was to take out the coastal guns that were causing the ships passing through the area major problems. Within time most of the guns had been blown apart and the path to Dodoma nearly cleared. All that had to be dealt with were a few enemy battleships in the area. The coastline was already in clear sight and escourted by a contingent of frigates, submarines, and battleships, the infantry transports sped forward to this sight. Troops scrambled about, preparing to seize the beach. Meanwhile, the smaller group that broke off the armada to engage the patrol fleet was doing an excellent job at keeping it distracted. All it needed to do was continue holding out while the troops started storming the beach. |

As they were busy fighting the coastal forces, the Kasnyian Colonial Army was securing Dodona for what was sure to be a full-scale siege, bringing in tanks, sandbags, mortars, and other equipment to turn the Royal capital into a fortress. In the Ocean, the three Kasnyian battleships (which had fled some 20 miles down the coast due to a submarine scare), were slowly trudging back up the coast, picking off the smaller Scythirian ships one by one, being careful to be a stealthy as they possibly could before they went all out. All they had to do was sneak up behind the armada that had now stationed themselves in Dar Es Salaam. Meanwhile, the aircraft carrier IKS Stephan had finally gotten into position, and immediately had all of their fighters scramble to engage the Scytherian air force in the area. The other two carriers were to head somewhere else.... Meanwhile, in Western Kasnyia, the army was almost ready to act..... |

Meanwhile, the New Medeans began to fortify Morogoro. The hope was that the Scythirans would stop here and attack the city before going on to Dodoma, not only wasting time that the Harumfians could use to strenghten their defenses, but also thousands of men. The New Medean troopers had seen combat in Liberia and the Cote D'Ivoire, and were seasoned veterans. These 12,000 men were more than adequate to hold the moderately sized city for weeks as long as the Harumfians could keep up the supply line. It wouldn't be that difficult to do so either, as long as they either kept air superiority or the Scythrians could be beaten off the road, should they even think of trying to blockade it. Meanwhile, the remaining 8,000 troops were scrambled, and they began to land in Mahenge, from where they could march either to Dar Es Salaam or Morogoro, whichever needed re-inforcement the most. |

On Board The INS Atalef Aircraft Carrier, October 20th Near the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait "Sir, I think you should check this out". The INS Atalef's SIGINT officer gave Jonathan Ogen, Admiral of the Israeli Navy and now direct commander of the Atalef Battle Group, his earphones. The sounds and voices who came out of them were all too familiar to the experienced seaman. Those were the sounds of orders, screams, and explosions in between those. "Sir, the Scythirians are invading New Harumf..." "Yes, I understand. Thank you lieutenant." Jonathan Ogen quickly went to his communications officer. "Lieutenant, send the following message to Tel Aviv. And make sure it's highly encrypted." United State of Israel's Parliament Tel Aviv "This is not our war! I will not see young Israeli soldiers being killed in a far away foreign land, especially since at least for now there is no direct threat over our country." The Israeli Minister of Interior was shouting bitterly at his colleague Ministers, but unlike him, most of the high ranked Ministers in the USOI government were from the right wing INP party, and his voice was quickly silenced. The elderly Israeli Prime Minister, Yigal Ben-Shalom, was also at this meeting. He was now old and tired and sick, but he remained in power due to his position as the INP leader. "For now, as you said. For now. But unlike you, I'm a soldier and a commander, as well as a statesman, and I recognize a serious conflict when I see it. And should I remind you that the African Confederate has declared war against all nations not a part of it, as well as not recognizing any other nations, including our's? We all read Admiral Ogen's transmission. And you can't just look at the situation right now. Think ahead. Scythirus and Zolony together are a threat to the United State of Israel, and unless something is done now, this threat will get much bigger and much more dangerous, and maybe unstoppable." The rest of the INP ministers nodded their heads as a sign of agreement. The Defense Minister, Simon Levin, was particulary satisfied. With the Crusade to the liberation of Jordan now frozen, he saw in sending Israeli troops, ships and equipment an opportunity for the USOI to upgrade its international status and to display its military capablities to the world. After all, after being elected as the Defense Minister, most of what he has done in office was to rebuild the USOI/DF from a small group of peace keepers to a considerably much stronger military. "We will now vote. Who is in favor of sending over to New Harumf four more Battle Groups, including 15,000 fighting troops and four more Jerusalem-class submarines with 'special capablity' cruise missiles, to assist the Harumfian forces?" The vote passed 8 to 4. The INS Atalef Aircraft Carrier Near the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait Jonathan Ogen was reading the new orders coming in from Tel Aviv. He was ordered to wait to the arrival of four more Battle Groups and submarines, and then head south to New Harumf. He will now contact the supreme commander of the Harumfian naval forces and let him know of their planned presence in the area within a short time. The Harumfian commander could decide if he wants the Israeli forces to assist them immediately or wait. Until then, his orders was not to open fire unless fired upon. OOC: New Harumf, for the purposes of the RP, please send your commander's response to my forces. I need it in order to officially declare war on the nations of the African Confederate. |

The first Scytherian forces had reached the beach: Posted Image New Harumfian Armor and infantry was there to meet them. As quickly as the soldiers left their landing craft, armor and machine-gun fire cut them to ribbons. Many landing craft were blown up before reaching the shore. This was truly turning into a blood bath. Aircraft from bnoth sides were screaming overhead, either trying to drive the invasion back into the sea, or weaken the defenses, but they were so busy fighting each other they had little time for the events on the beach. Shore batteries began shelling the waterline, while naval batteries began shelling the high ground beyond the shore. Now, both sides were experiencing heavy losses, and more men were coming: out from the sea came more and more Marines, and additional armor began roaring in from Inland. Meanwhile, the first and third special forces urban warfare dicvisions were deploying in Dar el Salaam and Dodoma in anticipation of an assult. |

The Assassin's had been watching from the sidelines for a while. News reports and intercepted messages had tipped them of about trouble brewing in Africa. Hicks: "This could be a good chance to prove ourselves to the Holy League once again..." Aide: "Shall I contact the New Harumf government sir?" Hicks: "We'll wait for a bit to see what happens. Our military is still far to wea to be of much help, however... if they ask for help we shall provide what we can. Send them a discrete note letting them know we are watching and willing to help should they require it." Aide: "At once Emperor." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To: New Harumf forces From: Emperor Hicks, Assassination Army. "We've become aware of the conflicts in Africa in reguards to your nation. As a former member of the Holy League and one that seeks redemption, we are willing to come to your aide should you require it." |

OOC- Afro-Asian war thus far...now how to get the Americas and Europe involved... IC- One of the two carrier groups were now stationed in the Persian Gulf. The other heas somewhere off the coast of Karachi. The Scytherans were too busy however to notice. Meanwhile off the coast of Dar Es Salaam, the Kasnyian battleships had gone into position. The bulk of the Scytheran landing forces were infront of them, their backs turned as they focused on the defenses of Dar Es Salaam harbor. The battleships readied their guns into siege mode. And then all hell went loose. With the constant consistant pounding of the multiple naval turrets on the blind-side of the landing forces, the Scytherans couldn't do much to fight back....or so the Kasnyian battleship commanders thought.... Within a few hours, the landing forces were almost obliterated...but they had managed to land one or two companies on the beach. With the return of the battleships, the Scytherans called back their submarines to once again try to hunt them down. Forced to flee, the three Kasnyian battleships once again broke off their defense of Dar Es Salaam and fled back to the safety of their anti-submarine frigates. |

Highly Encrypted Message To: Commodore Dallas, New Harumf Naval Commander Sir, Our forces will begin to set sail in a short matter of time to assist you. Our submarines will be tasked with destroying the supply line from Western Asia, while our warships will be tasked with engaging Scythirian warships. Our aircraft carriers will be tasked with ensuring our air superiority in the area as well as engaging Scythirian naval forces. We have 15,000 troops ready for your use. Just tell us where can they land safely, and they will be immediately ready to participate in New Harumf's defence. Our fleet's command outpost is the INS Atalef, and your transmissions to our forces are to be sent to it. I've been given the authority by my superiors to lend you all help you may require. If there is anything alse you may need, whether it is arms, ground units, and aircraft, I will wire your requests to my superiors so they could decide exactly how to help you. Good Luck and Godspeed, Admiral Jonathan Ogen Commander of the Israeli Navy -------------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile, in the USOI Parliament building in Tel Aviv, two body guards were helping Prime Minister Yigal Ben-Shalom to get up on the stage to address the nation and the world. "Good day. This is an official statement from the government of the United State of Israel: Due to the recent aggression in Africa, between the so called African Confederate and New Harumf, the United State of Israel has decided to send its forces to help New Harumf destroy the Scythirian forces and stop their invasion of New Harumf. So far we have sent 5 naval Battle Groups armed with aircraft, troops and other weapons to the area. This is a formidable force, but if more of our help is necessary, we will consider sending more forces to assist New Harumf. The United State of Israel is now officially at war against the nations consisting the African Confederate." |
