The Defensive War
Posted: May 18 2005
After The Operations Dixie Freedom, Due Justice, and Southern Bell my military was in good order.
15 light infantry, 4 M1A1's , 6 Bradley's , 2 Hercules AA, 3 F-16's,
2 F-15's, 3 c-130's, 2 Super Stallions, 1 Globemaster, 8 Stimgray's (i bought from the WM),
4 M270's, 3 Paladin's, 1 Awacs, 3 rangers, 3 speical forces, and several garrisons.
My only problem is with this force is that its small because in the next scenario i was pitted aganist 4 other regions.
Kentucky, Carolina, Arkansa, and Florida which Florida and and Carolina had a number of naval vessels as well a number of ground units. (seen em with the AWACS And Kentucky and Arkanas had also a number of ground units and Arkanas had a navy too which with their navies and me with NO navy this scenario be hard. And their combined army would seriously kill me and besides i won the last scenario through war these regions would jump at the chance to kill me out.
And on top of all this I had power problems as well as money but my DAR was good because i went with high social spending and lower taxes in the last scenario.
First things first I had to fix the power problem as well as build up my army. So i built some nuclear power plants which i had to develop through research. BTW my research Eff. is over 600% I put the budget money in the last Scenario to the max spending and i know that is were my money problems are but i am researching things that would take years in only days.
Then i went about building up my army starting with the light infantry (rather have the medium infantry but that take me 60 more days to research). Then i build some M1A1's that i had slots lefted for.
The airforce was lacking so i built some more F-16's (wish i had that F-22A but that take awhile to get.) After some of the light infantry were built i started to build the best artierlly (still can't spell that right). I set the 25 light infantry with the 6 bradley's in 4 groups 4 light infantry to 1 bradley and set them 4 hexes from the border where i figured they might attack (seen some units moving some in these areas) with the last 2 bradley's and light infantry i send to very middle of my region as a last line of defense. After the art was finished which was about 10 or so (i built more after these ones being built were finished) i set them with the paladins as a 4 to 1 paladin ratio and set them behind the 4 infantry groups. Then finally after awhile the tanks were built had 12 so with everything else i had i grouped em up in 4's and sent them all to the areas i thought conflict might happen at. And finally i had the power plants i built at 30% or so i activated them giving me some power that helped me alot.
Now was the decision to attack or wait.
I attacked. first Florida because of that damn navy they hadto the south of me. And with the attack all hell broke lose. The 3 other regions declared war on me.
There i was being attacked by 3 differnet directions while i was trying to get florida's army to retreat some. But no. I had to readjust my other groups to counter attack. I miss the mark by 10 or so hexes on where they were going to attack in force. My infantry groups i put in the front with tanks then the art. I was being pushed back while some of my units were retreating. I started to make air sorties over the battle fields. After awhile i started to hold them with most the tanks art with the air support helping. But all hope of gainng lost ground was slipping fast. But in all this i started a plan a massive air drop on to one of kentucky and arkanas's airports. I had the rangers, special forces, and the stingrays and i had the means to use them in the plan.
So I set about dividing the stingrays so they could be used in the globemaster and c-130's. Got the Stallions out of reserve. But time was starting to be aganist me. After i had just enough time i sent the stallions loaded with the special forces and rangers to the airports with what f-16's and f-15's i could use that weren't being used for sorties to escort the helos to the airports. There was interceptors that tried to get my helos but lucky they got to the airports. There was a intense fight at both airports but lucky it was only garrison. I set the forces their to entrench so i could get the stingray's there but i had to wait for the escorts to get back. Then i made the run again with the stingrays lost a c-130 getting to kentucky but the other made it. The globemaster had no problems. with the stingrays on the ground i started to use them behind the lines to gain ground which caused the armies that invaded me from kentucky and arkansa to turn and start to head the way the stingrays were. But that was what i wanted to do. Buy me some time. I sent the stingray's back to the airport and entrench. Also i sent the some more stingrays to the those airports and kept doing that until i had no more to send. And while i was doing this i sent some of the armies that weren't fighting anymore to the other fronts. And that's as far as i got I know that i will lose in the end i just don't have enough units. But never know i might actually win.
Hopefully i can win but if not i still give an update on this.
