We have two Akula II attack submarines armed with SS-N-26 Sapless sub launched surface to surface missiles tracking the British fleet that is hammering our troops of the Northern Fleet Naval Infantry. Our subs are about 40 km and 120 km out from the fleet, well within range of the 300 km SS-N-26 missiles. However, there are four DDG-45 Darings which are equipped with ARSOCs that can reach out to our subs from about 120 km. CINCNF quickly assess the situation and calls for the 6 squadrons of TU-160s and 6 squadrons of TU-22M3 Backfires armed with AS-17 Krypton ASM. These anti-ship missiles only have a range of 70 km and will have to get pretty close, so a strike mission on the ships and naval facilities is also ordered. 2 DDR-Slavas armed with 550 km ranged SS-N-12s are also assigned to the strike clear from the shores of the Shetland Islands. Once the bombers are within range, the Akulas reveal their positions and launch. Suddenly the British fleet finds itself surrounded by surface to surface missiles coming from all directions.

Image
Image

The dangerous ASW capable Darings are quickly destroyed or damaged. The 2 Akulas accelerate to full speed and rush into the harbor to finish off the 3 F-23 Durkes which are still hammering our troops with surface to surface missiles.

Image

The first Akula, 29th SUB Northern Fleet, easily picks off the Durkes but finds itself less than 30 km from 3 British subs, a SSBN-28 Vanguard, 1 SSN-107 Trafalgar, and a SSN-126 Swiftsure. The sub commander assesses the situation and quickly fires off a torpedo to take out the Vanguard which is firing missiles at NFNI. Next he turns his attention to the Swiftsure which has already taken several shots at him, damaging the outer hull. From about 60 km the second Akula joins the frey and launches torpedoes at the Swiftsure damaging her to the point that she surfaces and turns tail for the naval facility. The Trafalgar is no match for two Akulas and is also damaged to the point that she too surfaces and declares they are out of this fight.

Image

29th SUB NF is heavily damaged and starts to limp out of the harbor when a second group of 3 more British subs begin firing sub launched surface to surface missiles. Another Vanguard, Trafalgar, and Swiftsure are north about 32 km of 29th SUB. Still armed and with the second Akula entering the harbor the valiant captain orders his sub to a heading due north at full flank.

On the other side of the island, 6th Army finally reaches our airborne troops trying to capture the barracks in Colchester. At least two brigades of British Challenger IIIs have been holding out at the base along with garrison troops. Once Colchester was surrounded and captured, several Challenger battalions escaped into Ipswitch just to the east. 3 squadrons of Mi-28 Havocs were called in to hunt down the tanks that were trying to entrench between the buildings. BTR-D's and several battalions of BTR-90s quickly surrounded the city and fierce close quarters battles erupted all over the city.

Image
Image

The entire area east of the London area is now almost occupied. 20th Army is now fully on UK soil and is forming into their maneuver formations to push along the south of the London area. 1st and 2nd MCAB 1st EA have nearly captured Peterborough and will then drive south to surround the London area from the north. Our massive troop transports that delivered 1st and 2nd MCAB are back along the Dutch coast and awaiting for 3rd and 4th MCAB to embark.

29th SUB of Northern Fleet, an Akula II responsible for sinking and driving back a large British Naval task force that has been hammering Northern Fleet Naval Infantry, has been sunk by 2 British attack subs operating in the bay. 2 more Akula II subs were enroute and quickly drove off the British sub flotilla clearing the bay off of Ayrshire of any submarine or surface units.

A lone British Eruofighter Typhoon squadron has penetrated our air defenses in France and started to take out support units in Paris. We quickly called in several of our own fighters to intercept but not before the squadron took out two engineering corps repairing military facilities near Paris.

March 16th, 2021

Portsmouth is captured by several units from 20th Army. 20th Army is now heading north to surround the London area on the west.

Image

March 18th, 2021

3rd and 4th MCAB from the 1st Expiditionary Army make land fall just south of Tornes. They quickly organize into their maneuver elements and make a drive towards Carlisle to cut the British island in half.
Once Carlisle is captured they will turn north towards southern Glasgow to aid the Northern Fleet Naval Infantry which has taken a serious pounding trying to take Glasgow.

Image

While pushing south along the western edge of the London area the 6th Army and several units from 1st MCAB, 1st EA,reaches the airbase to the west of London. 8 Eurofighter, 2 ADV Tornado, 2 IDS Tornado, and several support squadrons scramble from the airfield as the 6th Army starts its attack. Most of the British fighter squadrons are around 50% strength but still pose a threat as the hornets nest is shaken. Air superiority fighter squadrons are called in to bolster CAP patrols in the area; however, British air defences in the London area thick.

March 19th, 2021

Cameroon falls to Nigerian forces. In Africa, two major powers are emerging, the South Africans and now the Nigerians. These two countries will be monitered carefully over the next couple of months.

Image

March 20th, 2021

Russian Federation progress to date of Operation Perseus. Belfast in Ireland is under attack by our forces. Glasgow in the north is now surrounded by Northern Fleet Naval Infantry from the north and 3rd and 4th MCAB of the 1st EA from the south. London is now completey surrounded.

Image
Image
Image

March 21st, 2021

Troops capture Belfast in Ireland and start mobilizing to head south towards Dublin.

Our forces have finally fought off the last stubborn garrisons and air defense units in the British capitol of London. London falls leaving a vast amount of supplies and wealth behind, but the government escapes to Birmingham. The British Prime Minister will not cede to our demands of surrender and declares that the British people persevered against the Germans in WWII, they will perservere agains the Russians in WWIII. Frantic calls to the US are intercepted by the our signals and electronic emissions units; however, it appears that the US is not in a position to intervene and come to the aid of their fellow allies for a 3rd time. The Russian Federation President consults his military analysts and pysch teams to determine if the current Prime Minister would ever intend to launch nukes on his own soil to preserve the empire. They report that while passionate and stubborn he is no Thatcher nor Churchill, he will capitulate under pressure if we continue to press. The capture of Belfast in Ireland and with troops maneuvering towards Dublin, Glasgow is surrounded in the north, London is under our flag, it is only a matter of time before we crush his will.

Glasgow is captured in the north.

After a week of fierce fighting, forces of the 6th and 20th Army, 1st Air Assault Corps, and 1st Expiditionary Army surround Birmingham and rout out the last British defenders. The 2nd British capitol falls, and our troops swell the streets for a show of force to the remaining population and the British Prime Minister and his staff.

Image

CINCWMD and several of his staff arrange for a private meeting with the Prime Minister and his staff to discuss surrender terms. Within hours of this meeting the Prime Minister is advised by his staff that it would be in the best interests of the UK and her people to cede to the Russian Federation in a peaceful occupation rather than have the empire leveled city by city. At 11 p.m. on March 28th, 2021 the Russian Federation annexes the British Islands and all of her overseas territories. Our treasury nearly triples with the stroke of a pen and the remaining 198 military units of the British Empire scattered around the world are ordered to stand down and await further orders from the Russian Federation.

Image

During the signing we learn that only hours before Birmingham was captured, a British commander of the base in Gibraltar made a secret arrangement with the Spanish to hand over Gibraltar to them. The Spanish were handed over the rights to Gibraltar just hours before this vital objective was within our sphere of influence. A sour bit of news at such a triumphant victory. None the less the Russian Federation has several key overseas territories all around the world now from the French and the UK.

Image

Benchmark 1 of the 10 Russian Federation Benchmarks is complete. European members of the Western Alliance defeated.

So now what? Now that europe is mostly secure you have some choices to make now. Fight a multi front war, or focus on one front? Send troops to support your allies in Asia? maybe the middle east, maybe Africa, maybe south america, Or maybe go after your arch rival the US. Maybe after your victory with the UK, you will feel strong enough to take on the world much like hitler did and try to take on all of them at the same time.

This is usually the point I lose interest in a game, with the territory you control and the nations you have conquered there is little resistance or doubt of the outcome, it is just a matter of time. No drama or challenge. I would call it a day. But I look forward to what you will do.

March 30th, 2021

Kremlin, Moscow

Celebrating their European victory at a formal dinner in the Kremlin, the Russian Federation President takes a moment and invites his ministers and highest ranking military staff into a private and secured room for vodka, caviar, and cigars. After several rounds of vodka, the looming question was addressed by the president, "Now what does the mighty Russian Federation do? Do we continue our military adventurism and start another campaign while our troops are filled with pride and gusto. Do we focus on the restructure and rebuilding of gains, while streamlining for maxiumum efficiency? What of our population, both loyal Russian born citizens, and our now millions of new Eruopean Russian citizens bleeding their hard earnings into our war machine? The Western Alliance has been gutted, with mostly only the head remaing, the US. A mighty force indeed to be reckoned with, but the Eagle appears to be sleeping, or watching, or waiting, to see what will come. According to military intelligence her military is nearly twice the size of ours, but yet they play the isolationist card for now. But when she is awake and strikes, I fear that it will be as it has been in the past, as it has always been in the past when the Eagle strikes. And what of China, the Dragon, our great ally that has seemed to have stalled in their tracks of conquest. It is obvious that there is a power struggle between their military and civilian government, they suffer from having two heads that seem to not agree. Puppeted by this New World Order League though, the Dragon would be an army in which we would hold our breath as they make their first move north into our soft underbelly. And what of this mysterious New World Order League, we still have very little information on thier agenda, their purpose. They are well financed, backed by countries such as the Ukraine, they are well equipped, they have infilitrated even our allies, and they are united all over the globe, just sitting back and watching the world tear itself to pieces. So ladies and gentelmen, I ask for a revision of our benchmarks to eliminate these fears as discussed earlier when we first set about our conquest as World War III consumed the world."

With that, the Russian Federation President offered one more round and demanded an updated revision to be available prior to present members in the room. They are to meet in a closed meeting in the Kremlin just before the 2012 1st Quarter meeting on April 1st.

I see your goals fail to mention any plans of securing your coastlines of amphibious assualts. Dont underestimate the US's ability to project its power. I have seen its plans to luanch an attack on Russian occupied europe. While it may be focusing all of its efforts on the America's for now, If they choose to they may launch an attack on you. You might be keen to keep an eye out in the atlantic for hints of an assualt. From viewing there plans they generaly folley up around 500-1,000 miles off the coast of gilbralter.
