I have at least 6 more. possibly 1 or 2 more than the 6.
PG got on to me about a year ago flying them around, said you have to own them. He knows what the XB-70 is. I said I have them in 1/300 from ebay.. I do have B-52, B-1B, B-2 and F-111. Have my cruise missile launch trailers, I will say that my missiles do not really explode. I know that surprises you.

Ukraine,
As most of the EE forces have marched east. Some have been retained to help clean the mess. With the captured equipment Ukraine has acquired some T-80 and T-90 for its army. A number of vehicles types that Ukraine did not yet have or as new or capable. Captured supplies, trucks, etc. have helped Ukraine up quickly re-establish armored forces. Some will require work to be able to use them in the field
The 2nd Nigerian Inf Div has shipped out by ship, leaving BMP-1 for the Ukrainian army. Moldova has their force moving home, gotta get on those farms. Bulgaria has 1 division home, more are moving.
The B-70 are being evaluated, systems and structure, engine all are being studied.
Other aircraft are or will be evaluated. A-4 in Tunis, Tunisa-dom, A-6 and F-111 in Romania-dom, A-7 in Bulgaria-dom, F-105 Thuds in Crete,
Recovery of Commonwealth vehicles is taking place along with the members that directly participated, Nigeria, Moldova, Romania, Bulgaria, Monaco. Balzac Republic, Camastan-dom,. Monaco-dom needs their pretty 3-tone NATO vehicles back to cleaned up, washed, then have a parade. in Monaco City.

NCAF Division is also in the process of recovering our vehicles lost in the battle and shipping them home for repairs or scraping them if they are beyond saving.

If Turkey can grant us permission to remove the Wrecks of the RCN Vessels in the Bosporus that would be deeply appreciated so we can remove them and thus making the straits safer to travel on.

Ukraine
3 BDE of the 1st CoC Armored Division has moved by ship transport, any missing equipment damaged or destroyed will be replaced with equipment on LST. The BDE equipment will be landing in the Country of Tripoli, just north of Israel later this evening. The equipment will be loaded directly on rail cars at the port for transport to Saudi Arabia southeast of Kuwait for training in the desert.
Some of the personnel of the 3 BDE, 1st Armored Div will fly in to Riyadh, SA tomorrow, the rest to follow the next day. Desert training will be with and against the Saudi Arabia National Guard whose training is better than the army and train with the SA Army with better equipment. The US is transferring out personnel of BDE after training, with the equipment in the preposition facility for the US Army.
. It is expected that several other nations will be participating in the training rotation. Sand filters will need to changed, instruction by the SA Army and National Guard will begin in 2 days.

Lviv Airport Ukraine.

NCAF CC-17s and CC-130 Transports sit on the tarmac as the very battered NCAF division boards the planes for the flight back to New Canada so they can rest and replenish their numbers and learning the lessons from this war on how to best operate as a modern army.

Athens Greece.
The Remnants of the RCN fleet that took part in this Campaign, after receiving some quick repair work from the Greek Navy, they set sail to CFB Halifax. the Newly appointment Fleet Commander makes his recommendation "We gotta get one of those "TLAMS" that the 3rd Army commander kept telling us to use, but we did not have any nor did we know what they where."

You are invited to the Saudi Arabia desert training, bring a BDE.
Does N.C. fly armor everywhere? Expensive.
Send 3 cos, a 155 battery, a mortar battery, air defense unit, 16 scout/recon/Cav vehicles. Redirect a transport ship carrying a BDE to Saudi Arabia.

Unfortunately none of the units (except for one artillery battery) in the NCAF Division Leaving Ukraine is not in the best shape to fight.

Instead a Transport ship in CFB Halifax will depart to Saudi Arabia carrying more fresh regiments.
this brigade consists of
The Queens Own Rifles Regiment
The Lord Strathcon's Horse.
The Sherbrooke Fusiliers.

The 116th independent Field Artillery Battery will be redeployed as they are the more intact unit but they will need shells as their stocks where depleted during the campaign in Ukraine.

Saudi Arabia
The equipment has arrived in Saudi Arabia by rail, finishing being off loaded Hafar Al Batin, south of the Kuwati border. The personnel of the brigade have flown into Riyadh, SA. then taking buses to Hafar Al Batin. Some have arrived.
The 14th Logistics Support BDE has been preparing for the training.
A mixed company of 9 Abrams and 5 Bradleys with 3 hummvs headed north of Hafar Al Batin, to play with some Kuwait forces. The 3rd Co went to meet then block an advance of the Kuwait fighters. 2 Huumvs and an M2 Bradley were taken out by the Kuwait vanguard, with lost a wheeled Pandur and M-84A. The Coc company took a line in the decline slope to be hull down. The 120mm Rein-metal cannons worked wonders against the M-84. The M-2 Bradleys were firing their missile upon the BMP-3 and Desert Warriors destroying 8 and losing 2. As the Kuwait battle group gained ground the CoC did need to back out being flanked on both ends.
. The withdraw took place quickly, heading down in the stream bed towards the southeast. Many of the Abrams made it up the other embankment and into depression. The first 5 M1A1 did provide cover utilizing cover ;destroying' 3 M-84As, and 3 M1A2 and 2 Desert Warrior. The advancing forces did destroy 3 M1A1. Other CoC M1A1 took out 5 more Desert Warriojk. One M1A1 had to be destroyed by its crew when it would not move with an issue with the drive train.
. A few minutes later an M1A1 lost its track hitting some rocks turning too closely. It was 'lost' to enemy fire after destroying 2 M1A2 of the Kuwait group and another Desert Warrior. 2 Bradleys were lost to tank and ATGM fire. The retreating engagement continued for another 22 minutes with 4 M1A1 withdrawing from the depression, going through the 4 Km of difficult terrain with large bolders, rocks.

The Scratch built NCAF Brigade that was formed from the Battered Division in Ukraine arrived by a redirected Troop ship to Saudi Arabia, when we got here, the brigade moved to the ROD Dog Pound for processing... However the ROD looked rather unhappy to see us, given our past troubles during the Suez War, especially the Bridge Incident. I hope that we can set aside what happened and get my people into Saudi Arabia's training grounds soon.

Saudi Arabia
Great to hear that NC forces are at the Dog Pound, the Saudi Armory.
CoC battalion
Two companies are operational conducting pass-through tactic from a prepared position, 3 times each company passing through. Then conducted a pass-through on the move then halt location. for each company. Working on 3-communication, and visual communication.
. The Recon unit arrived in the afternoon, used as a screen and the 2 companies passed through on the advance. Also passed through on the retreat.
. After several rotations utilizing the pass-through technique and group meeting with model vehicles in the sand with crews watching how to conduct the technique.
.
Tomorrow the plan is to have the 3rd company on line to conduct these maneuvers and a few others, passing to the side to create new center of gravity to exploit a weakness.

Saudi Arabia
The NCAF Brigade is conducting Standard Field maneuvers in the Desert, with the Leapord 2A4s in the front to scout and flank ahead of the LAV IIIs who are carrying the Royal 22s Mortar Platoons into position to deploy them in order to shell into fake infantry positions.

As Commander of this operation both Platoons are not to engage the PAC until at least early July at the latest, until we ascertain the size of the PAC forces in Iraq and Syria, from what recon data that the Black Maple Company has brought suggests that the PAC's attacks would be random and light, due in part to the imperial defeat in Ukraine weeks earlier.

We will be fighting in July?
Did everyone put it on their calendar?
PAC might not do anything.

Look, I cannot be certain what the PAC is up too, with the ROD task force now not available, and their hoplite operatives in Iraq are now gone, info on the PACs movements and intent is limited as best and non existent at worse, The best we can do right now is just continue training our troops in Saudi Arabia so we will be best prepared should the PAC decides to attack.

Saudi Arabia
With the Intel Data from the PMCs being Unfortunately declared unreliable, the Coalition Command has dispatched a Recon Jet from the RCAF in Greece to gather Photographic evidence of the PACs troop movements in Iraq and Syria in more accurate detail.

Saudi Arabia
The Battalion is continuing training with and against the Saudis. Having great fun. Working 4th company "on the left flank ro the rear. go. The 4th company vehicles, platoons will turn to the left moving in essence behind the company that has the left flank or two companies if that is the case. Once just past the left flank of the advancing company, platoons right turn to get on-line. It moves the center of gravity of the Battalion. We have conducted the similar maneuver to the right. Have conducted it moving 3 cos to each flank. Getting quicker, better on the tempo
. Sent drone, Reaper and Hawk UCAV to monitor the PAC units. Getting organized, monitoring communications which indicates that the PAC force is getting larger and more organized. E-listening posts on PAC is being conducted. Working to get into their internet network and radio network.
