I guess that is the order to the Nigerian divisions...Wait Nigeria? Oh no they use the old Cold War Era equipment that they have poor standards maintaining. That will not work well for me especially in maneuver warfare.

(Sigh) send them in to Ukraine with my NCAF Division after I’m deployed there, my 16th corps is now screwed.

[chrisswim]

Why are you going into the Ukraine?
Should there be any coordination with 3rd Army HQ?
What is the benefit to moving north? Where would you plan to go?
What countries are you thinking of moving through? Permission?

So, apparently, NC is going to road March from vic Athens, Greece to Ukraine to deploy. Wonder how many vehicles will make it, even providing EE aircraft and special forces, 5th column groups, and airborne units don't interdict the restricted roads. Or what the result will be when NC tries to transport troops by sea... Must think there several interstates running through there. Maybe jes' gonna beam them down...

Providing NC troops go north instead of south and to Canada, SOME folks will have done all the fighting by the time NC arrives to lap up the credit, the dough, and the glory (as mech said himself was motivation for NC troops).

What's the title for the operation? Operation SNAFU? Operation FUBAR? EE will make extra crispy Canadian bacon out of NC's puny forces and still have 6 divisions standing around with clean uniforms looking for something to do. Grind 'em down! HAH! Don't remember what the tank as INVENTED for, do ya? Ever hear of an "arm farm?".

[MechCommander]

I’m going to Ukraine as that’s the EEs main target I’ll be going through Bulgaria and Romania before entering into Ukraine.

[panzergator]

The EE will have occupied all of Ukraine by the time you get there. Ever seen a diagram of Russian defenses?

How long will I take you to road march to Ukraine from Athens when you will be lucky to make 25mph? What's the mean time between failure for your various vehicles? What shape will the track be in? How many will be strung out on the trail, unable to keep up, broken down, lost? Have you even LOOKED at the kind of roads you will travel? Have you considered the length of your major supply route?

These are rhetorical questions. Don't bother answering. I know the answers. You just want to fight. Go fight. Ask Chris. I do this to him, too. Now, go stand by the road and watch your convoys go by. Don't forget to slide your hand into the seam of your buttoned jacket.

I'm gonna go look at pics of tanks.

[MechCommander]

I’ll use my CC-17s and CC-130s to transport my vehicles and personal to Ukraine and deploy them there, Athens is only used as a supply base for my forces.

[redleg]

Start planning your air movement then. I'll send out the first SITREP tomorrow and then start transitioning the communication to the microbattles website.

You'll need to do some homework - how much can your transports lift, what's their range, who is going on each lift, which aircraft are going, where are you planning to land?

[MechCommander]

I start by having the CC-17s carry the light vehicles first, then the Leopard 2s last. , the CC-130s carries the Infantry each flight. They will land at the Ukraine’s international airport then journey their way to the border to help the RPNW out.

[Hoth_902]

Mech, please don't head to my position. I will not be there when you get there. Also, just FYI a C-5 could only carry one Abrams at a time. So A C-17 is not going to do better.

[MechCommander]

Fortunately the C-17 can carry a tank.

Supply and transport ships landed at various ports in the Aegean Sea, i.e. Kavali, Greece. Nigerian forces, infantry div., were landing in Greece, with permission. At the docks, off-loading armor vehicles from the ships on to rail flar-bed. Some soldiers get on school buses heading north. Lasi, Romania, northwest Galati, Rom. home to 5th Corp.
The MechDiv. landing in Athens, Greece.
.
3rd Army HQ.
Orders from 3rd Army HQ. to 16th Corps
You are to move to the best of your ability to the region of Lasi, Romania.
We are sending several trains for transport of equipment. Trucks can move by highway.
Do have your Convoy signs in yellow -black while in Greece. Do have armed soldiers on trains with weapons, ATGMs, SAMs, i.e. combat ready.
. There will be Ratels providing escort and working security along with Bulgaria soldiers along the routes, both highway and rail.
. Do not fly into Ukraine, we suspect conflict, but no one has fired anything but words at this point.
. Any questions, concerns.

[MechCommander]

Lasi Romania? Ok I’ll get there.

The NCAFs CC-17s and CC-130 took off from Greece carrying the NCs light Armor and infantry for the flight to Romania.

While our Nigerian “Divisionsâ€￾ will take the trains and buses to their destination in Romania. I just hope that their weapons don’t blow up in their faces on the train.

[redleg]

I need details, Mech. The NCAF airfield in Greece has 12 x CC-130s, 36 x CC-17s, and 24 x CF-18s. Who is on the aircraft? What route are you taking to get there? This stuff is important.

I'll send an intel update via e-mail today.

This morning at 0200 local time, two Sovremenny class destroyers sailed into Ukrainian waters near the Crimean peninsula, in yet another brazen violation of their sovereignty. The Ukrainian navy intercepted the Imperial ships with 2 frigates, but tensions are high and shots were fired. There are conflicting reports of who fired first, but the flurry of missile fire that followed destroyed all 3 Ukrainian frigates. The Imperial destroyer Trotsky was also sunk in the battle, and the Imperial destroyer Engels was damaged but able to return to port under her own power.

Immediately following the incident all Imperial forces in the area were placed on the highest level of combat readiness. The commander of the Imperil Central Military District made a broadcast over all military channels to rally the Imperial troops, warning that "this naked act of aggression will not go unpunished." After some patriotic songs and slogans he added, "The Eurasian Empire will not be bullied by a traitorous neighbor! Neither will we be threatened by a coalition of weak interlopers who try to sail into our own waters and force us to do their will".

[MechCommander]

The CC-130s first flight is carrying elements the Royal 22nd Regiment, the CC-17s first flight are carrying the LAV IIIs from the Royal Canadian Dragoon’s regiment, their course will take them to Lasi Romania to where they will be dropped off and then the transports return to Greece to pick up the others, this process of repeated flights will last for awhile unit the whole NCAF division is in Romania.

However if this process is getting slow, the Rest of the NC Division will have to board the same train as the 2 Nigerian Divisions, I have to get everyone in my Corps to Romania as fast as possible
