Bunuel War Games; TATO Military Exercises

Overview: The TATO alliance has been invited by the Union to engage in war games in the province of Bunuel, in the republic of Navarra. The map will simulate urban and rural warfare, particularly in the style of the Srolonkan flatlands. The games will center around a small hilltop village.

Participants: The Falklands Confederation, Wales, and the French Republic will fight in a three-way power struggle over control of the small village of San Ignacio, less than twenty kilometers from the Union-Srolonkan border. Huescan troops will act as a moderator, and as defenders of the capital city in the form of three militia units.

Winning Conditions: The victor is the one who can hold the entire city for four rounds, or eliminate his opponents by capturing their "capitals", or a tie is declared if no winner emerges in thirty rounds.

Special Rules: Airfields exist only at A1, A2, or A3, or when a single player has complete control of the city. Aircraft may not be used without control of one of these four regions [A1 OR A2 OR A3 OR C1+C2+C3]. Any aircraft deployed will be "grounded" if control of an airfield is lost, and will not be able to move.

Should any city tile be left unoccupied for more than one round, a defensive militia unit controlled by the moderator will be generated.

If a player's capital is captured, all units on the board will go to the faction that defeated them.

Roleplaying is expected, and will factor into victory. Mod posts will be in a dark blue. Simply RP as a general in a war game. Flesh out some minor characters. The game itself is simply to direct role play, not to replace it.

IC: Each nation will begin with 40 IC, and will have 6 IC reinforcement every turn.

War System: Ignore IC calculation. You have a determine number of ICs. This is less important for players than for the mod, so do not worry too much about the specifics. Worry about unit descriptions and costs. There is no naval component at this time. If this game goes well, we may do a naval exercise. :)

Moderator: Huescan forces will moderate.

Other: An example of a war fought in this way can be seen here:

Nikolaykranian Civil War Role playing occurred in a seperate thread, but that will not be necessary here.

Starting Map:

Posted Image

Falkland Confederation: Starting Positions: NC, 17, 53, 57, 54

French Republic: Starting Positions: VC, 6, 10, 24, 25

Wales: Starting Positions: KC, 87, 88, 84, 85

As participants, you may PM me your starting positions and deployments. You get 40 IC. Refer to the link in the above post to see unit tables. Every turn you will also recieve 6 IC. You may use or save these, and deploy any new units are the beginning of every turn.

All movements must be sent to me.

A new round starts whenever I receive orders from all three players, or a week has passed, whichever occurs first. We are currently on Round 0. Order of play will be determined based on the order I receive PMs.

A better Zarathustra has never rode a horse
The Chancellery views this as a gross abuse of power by TATO, and considers the format of the war games to be a travesty to the diplomatic wellbeing of the peninsula, and the future for Ulganian-TATO relations. Should these continue in the format that has been laid down, it will be considered but the first step down the path of war.

OOC: I like where this is going.


Oh, and in case there's any misunderstanding for why I've made this post,

That should clear up my reason for my position :lol:

It is the sovereign right of all nations to train their armed forces in any way they deem appropriate or necessary without foreign interference.

OOC: Very, very interesting, but complicated. I think I understand it, but correct me as we go along.

How will RPing work into this? Moves are PMed to you, you post the result here, and we RP them happening?

For RP purposes, what are we using? Paintball guns/shells/bombs, an advanced laser tag system, or what?

IC: The Republic of Venice agrees with Ulgania. We will sit back and observe the first time, but should this happen again, action will have to be taken.

OCC: ok, so its just like axis and allies. For now we'll use a type of small paintball as ammo for our guns.


IC: Gregory Sais looked upon the open battlefield where the training was to take place. This would be the first of several joint military practices as part of the TATO organization. Sais had personally chosen a young commander to lead the troops into battle, for he didn't want to intimidate the other nations by sending in the very best. His name was 1st Lieutenant John Blackwell, a rising star in the Welsh military. This would be his first time commanding troops in a live military practice. Blackwell had shown some amazing incentives, and Sais had recognized these talents. Success in this practice would bring great honor upon the the Welsh. Its time for the Welsh to be recognized not as a small, new country, but as a Nation who can hold its own with its strategic and well disciplined military, thought Sais. Lets hope I placed my faith in the right people, or else I might have to rethink this "rising star."

Major Mateus Severino was chosen to lead the "fight". The Falkland's decided this was an excellent opportunity to give it's officers and troops field experience outside of their home country. So, rather than a more seasoned military officer, Severino was given a chance to command. This was his first assignment, just out of the Falkland Confederation's Military College, 3rd in his class. He was brimming with excitement.

~~~~~

Commander Josue Donato poked his head out cupola, glad of the relief from the hot, stuffy tank. To his left, right, and rear were specially designed tanks, shipped over with the troops from South Bahia, the training ground for officers and troops. These tanks shot giant paintballs, perfect for mock battles as they didn't kill a man, but hurt plenty to make them fight wiser next time. Major Severino was his superior, though from the graduating class after him. When Donato graduated, he spent a year instructing men in South Bahia, a tedious task. With the Brunel mock battle, he finally was allowed to fight someone other than the moronish troops back at the barracks who's brains seemed to have been shot as children. He was anxious enough to begin that he didn't care that his superious was younger than him.

~~~~~

Captain Carlos Sandalio was sprawled on the ground, basking in the warmth of the hot sun. He was waiting for the signal to start off the battle. His paintball gun was next to him, ready for use. His men were scattered about, but they all stayed nearby. He had warned them that they could still get in trouble regardless of the fact that this was a game. They kept their distance from the next unit of soldiers. Command was good.

OOC: Isn't Tou playing his own French soldiers? Huescan troops are like the "npc", right?

Also, will there be any rules in the future having to do with terrain or earthworks? Infantry could give up a turn to dig trenches for added defense. Cities and trees provide cover from the air, adding to land units' defense against air. Being on higher ground gives you extra attack or farther range. Anything?

OOC: Maybe, but that seems a bit complicated.

If Tou does not participate, but someone else does, the French troops are replaced with Huescans.

OOC: It adds more of a tactical feel to the game, rather than everything being in a flat, grassy plain. Maybe even flanking bonuses...

OOC: I'm still here, guys!

IC:
Captain Marc Casteau was in charge of the French forces deployed to Huesca for the duration of the war games. He watched over his men closely, ready to show off France's military might to the world- even if the "enemies" were his allies, and "victory" wouldn't really be meaningful.

Still, Casteau was ready to give this "battle" his all. France was one of the leaders of the free world, and he was sent to represent the latest French tactics and combat techniques. He was prepared to make a winning impression.

Map of Round 1:

Units were deployed and moved. No conflicts. Easy?

From now on we will move to 72 hour rounds.

Toussaint has not deployed. Until his capital is captured, he may choose to deploy at any round.

1st Lieutenant John Blackwell looked out over the battlefield. He questioned the motives of the French, who hadn't done anything at all, which was strange for the french people. Maybe they are going to surrender, Blackwell thought. He was worried that he might of not played his cards right, but maybe, just maybe there was hope.

OCC: Sorry tanner, just had to throw that in there. You deserve it for not posting anything.
