-Vatican Bunker-

"The vaccinations weren't fully distributed," roared the Pope.

"No Holiness...we have suffered a million dead in Naples..."

"The people will cry for blood Cardinal...but before we can even think of appeasing them, we must bury our civilian dead...and we must mobilize our troops for war."

"Yes...Holiness..."

-Naples-

Mass graves were being dug.

-Military Bases Throughout Italy-

Bombers and fighters were being fueled. APU Exoskeletons were being loaded for battle. Missile silos were prepping for war.

-Stealth Choppers Somewhere in the Mediterranean-

Paladins prepared themselves for holy war. Over three thousand would be in the first wave, plus the stealth helicopters would provide close air support.

Missile Silos: 50%, completely prepped next post.

President Rodrigues sat infront of the arab councel in Egypt.

"What is it you wish to speak to us about Turk." Ahemet Ahead Meto said the president of Libya said.

"I wish to ask your help aginst the Russians, The machines and the Catholics, they threaten Islam."

"Ally the ones who destoyed the holy land? Ally the ones who made it imposible for any of us to make the journey to mecca for atleast 3 thousand years. Why would we do that?"

"Becouse Islam itself is threatned. The Catholic Italy is prepareing to invade, The Russians allies of the catholics and the damable machines also prepare to attack us, and they wont stop there, why should they? They could so easily spring launch a invasion here. We have seen the russians launch surpise biological and chemical attacks on us. We have seen them destroy the first ever islamic moon bound spacecraft. What reason? They had none."

"Well if this is certain why condem our selfs by joining you?" The president of Morroco asked.

"Turkey and the Balkans may hold against Russia, or Italy, Or the machines but all three of them? We need your help. Many of you hate us becouse of our past history. But we need to look to the future and stop dewlling on the past. We need to fight for Allah more then ever!"

"But they have not declared war or attacked open-" He stopped as a aid whisperd something into Rodrigue's ear, and his facial expressions turned to great anger.

"You are wrong. I have just been informed that The Machines have invaded Bulgaria hundreds of transports dropped."He stopped finding the words. "6,000 Machine soldiers. Bulgarian, Turkish and other Balkan nations have defended. The time is now Brothers of Allah. To stand up and fight. So I ask you now. Who stands with us?"

None of the leaders said anything untill The president of Turkey stood up.

"Egypt has no love of Turkey, But we shall fight with you against the Infadel machines and Catholics, This was a pointless act of Agression, and Egypt will not stand for it."

"Libya will fight with its Egyption Neighbors.

"Syria will join the cause."

"Somolia will aid you."

"The People of Chad are more then willing to kill the machines that take our jobs and lively hood."

"Sudan will also join you."

The other nations didnt say anything un caring or simply afraid of the russian juggernaught.

Rodrigues smiled maybe, just maybe They might have a chance. Maybe.

Sharpie Continued to fire the Exoskelton practicly pissing metel towards the apoarching machines below. Sweat poored down his face, even though his body was cooled by the armor sourounding him. He was afraid, more afraid then he had been in possible his whole life.

Him and 15 Comerades stood on top of a hill, Hundreds of machine soldiers were marching towards them,rounds pinged off his armor at a near constint rate, his comerades had formed a rough semi circle and were slowly falling back over welmed by the size of the machine force.

"Im hit!" Rodger screamed his mech colapsing, He hit the eject button, the front opened, and he ran down the other side of the hill.

Another Mech exploded killing the soilder inside.

A rocket raced towards Sharpie he sidesteped the rocket barely missing.

"To Many of them!" He cursed.

The Machines continued into the distance, large red hovering pyrimeds were slowly aproaching them, Sharpie didnt even want to think about what they had in store for them.

There were no other human forces in sight, they were fighting the other machine force near the boarder between Serbia and Bulgaria they reported that they were holding the machines. But there was no relife in sight for Sharpie and his sqaud in sight.

His mini gun clicked dead out of ammo. He switched to anti tank rounds and fired, the rounds spilling out in a low rumble.

"God damnit!" Someone else screamed a moment later one of the large pyrimeds shot a red beam down striking the mech, it exploded instantly.

"Holy shit!" Someone else screamed.

"Switch to anti tank! Aim for the eye!" Sharpie orderd to his 13 remaining comerades.

The obayed, Yellow sparks flickerd around the eye, It was charging for another attack, A explosion blossemed around the eye just as it fired, the laser mis fired and struck the machine infantry below cutting dozens apart. It fell onto the ground and a moment later exploded.

Sharpie looked up, a sqaudron of Egyption fighters, They came around for another pass peppering the infantry infront with there machine guns.

The exoskeltons cheered at the sight of the relife.

A low rumble could be heard around them, the ground begain to shake violently.

"What the hell is that?" Sharpie asked.

"Tanks! We got back up! We got back up!" Mitchial screamed.

Three dozen isreali tanks and infantry suport had arived.

"Allah bless you guys." Sharpie said over the radio.

"Sorry were late, we got hung up for a bit, our wifes called." The isreali tank commander said.

"Two more tank collums are in route and a sqaudron of harriors."

Sharpie smiled take that you basterd machines.

Turkish military and comminications switched to Egyption and other african Satilites, Comminuctions restablished. Turkish Satiltes to re launch in two posts.

a low rumble could be heard at the ship yard as Persphone decended into the water. One of the largest ships ever created. The size of Three aircraft Carriers,1 32 inch super gun, 1 25 inch deck gun, 4 18 inch guns, 5 16 inch guns. Anti Ship missels,Anti aircraft missels and guns, Anti Submarine missels,Anti Satilte systems, Torpedos, Balistic missels, enough deck space for a sqaudron of harrier jets, Radar jamming systems, Anti Torpedo systems, Anti missel systems,Sheilded from EMP attack, Powerd by 4 atomic reactors and 15 back up diseal engines, maxium speed 27 nots. Armor thick enough to withstand nearly anything, its uniqe honey comb desigh alowed it to take even more punishment. 2,500 Marines, and over 6,000 Crew.

On the other side of the shipyard its sister ship Hades sliped into the sea.

Persphone was the wife of Hades, her name means bringer of destruction, Her and her Husband will make sure Of turkish domince of the sea.

Captain Parsha Moohabo led the Persphone

And Adirmal Osman led the Hades.

[Dante]

Troops? What troops? Did I mention anything about troops, soldiers, infantry or pyramids? No, I don't think I did. Repeat, I did not sent any infantry at all in any way. And if you don't stop gratuitously adding countries to your collection Ex, I'm going to start adding to mine.

The huge harvesters floated serenely across the landscape. They passed through countryside, everything. They left minor damage here and there but nothing serious. For the most part they ignored the people below them. Only when fired upon did they retaliate, sending coils swooping down to lift up any aggressive humans and store them in the red pods. They had sustained no damage.

They floated without hinderance across Ukraine and through Romania, avoiding large concentrations of humans. When they reached Bulgaria, they stopped.

Ammassing just beyond the border, they lined up. And then as one, they moved forward. The waiting defences were crushed. Tanks were picked up by the huge coils and torn apart, their screaming occupants either carried off into the pods or thrown to their deaths. The pathetic weapons of the infantry were no match for the black armour of the coils and giant harvesters, and nothing else could reach them, high up above.

Exoskeletons were picked up and opened like sardine cans, barricades swept casually aside. The harvesters rampaged into Bulgaria, leaving behind them a trail of devastation. The jets that flew overhead managed to score many hits, but few of them were serious. Many of the jets were snatched out of the air by the snake-like coils, their pilots extracted and stored. Inside their thousands of red pods, the captured humans writhed.

**North Turkey, Black Sea Coast**

The defences were primed, everything in place. The shelling started at noon.

From the depths of the Black Sea the Russian marked submarines rose. Specially modified cannons immediately began firing on the defences, who returned fire. The Russian shells were chemical, but the defenders were equipped with masks. So far, there is an impasse.

Russian forces in the North are disbanded and spread once again along the borders in defence.

Message to Britain;

As you can plainly see, this war is beginning to enter the violent stage. Please do not think of me as the aggressor, tI am trying to protect those who could not protect themselves. America 'nuked' 01 after the machines were persecuted and slaughtered all over the world, with only a select few exceptions. Turkey and China both invaded beforehand, with aid. Covert attacks on Rome and the Pope himself have all been attributed to Turkish plots. They destroyed all of my satellites, including purely civilian ones. They claim I have taken life needlessly, when it was they who first decided that genocide was to be the fate of a people who wanted no more than human rights, though they themselves were not human.

Why am I sending this? Because with the addition of many nations to Turkey's growing Empire; we are dealing with a world war. Russia, Great Scandinavia, Italy and possibly Finland have already acted to protect the machines. Will you please join us?

Tsar Mikhail Ildvev of Imperial Russia.

Message to Finland;

Your lack of action grows tiresome.

[ordos45]

-Italian Airbases-

The bombers and fighters began to launch.

-Off the coast of Egypt-

"We got two troop transports in sight Captain," said the helmsman.

"Well then, arm torpedos," replied Captain Firetti with a grim smile.

"Armed."

"Fire."

Twin streaks raced out from the Italian sub. One hit each troop ship, sinking them.

-Above Cairo-

Bombs rained from the sky. Chemical warheads on most of them. Clouds of poison gas could be seen rising through the city in the night, and the sounds of the dying reached far and wide.

-Nile Delta, North of Cairo-

The three thousand Paladins had made short work of Egypt's costal defenses. Now they were setting up a hastily constructed headquarters for incoming Italian forces.

Message to Russia:

[hide] Egyptian campaign begun. We will cut the Turks off from their allies in Africa.[/hide]

Message to Turkey:

[hide] We are making actions to secure the birth nation of Saint Moses. Any action taken by Turkey against the sovereign nation of Italy or its forces will be considered an act of war and treated as such.[/hide]

Missile Bases on high alert.

[The_Sadukar]

For once king Philip was seen outside his chambers; in fact he was at the 1. hird division's barracks.

He was standing on a hastily build stage on a field close the barracks, before him the entire division was deployed, in combat armour suits and with the regimental standards up front. It was an awe-inspiring sight. Thousands of hirdmen, hand picked and willing to die for their king, the elite of the elite, their armour suits were like the small exoskeletons used Turks. Their standard weapons, the bolt guns, were like light weight auto cannons, useful against everything but the heaviest armour. And even better were the Land Raiders deployed at the flanks of the formation, combined the transport capacity of an APC with the very best of heavy armour.

“Hirdmen” he said, “I am proud of you, you spearheaded the expansion war against the Germans, and the liberation of those who wrongfully were on the rule of Berlin, and for that I am grateful. I have therefore a gift for the you as a division, please accept this”

He snapped his fingers, and the divisional CO at his side unrolled a banner with a flying raven, and beneath it the text “for the king and the Fatherland”

For evermore the 1.. hird division shall known as ”Riget”, for when the Fatherland is in peril you will stand at front fighting to save it!”

No sooner than he had closed his mouth the hirdmen began chanting “Hail to the king, hail, hail, hail” over and over again

A few days later “Riget” and the 2. hird division were airlifted to Russia along with 10 regular armour divisions.

"Riget" and the 2. Hird division are in Russia

2nd, 3ed, 4th, 5th and 6th Hird divisions are standing by.

The regular army (20 armour and 8 infantry divisions) is still mobilizing

20 armour divisions mobilized

4 of them are in northern Germany

1 in Italy, and 11 in Russia

The Great Scandinavian navy:

6 battleships, 12 destroyers and 2 carriers are now mobilized.

construction of the folating fortress "Njord" is curretly at 25% rising at 25% each post

The Great Scandinavian air force is now completely mobilized

1000 fighters and 300 bombers are currently prepared for battle

[Jack Leaf]

Finland will support this this war anyway It cans.

Army is equipped with assault rifles, short range flamethowers and rifles. Supported with massive ground cannons and tanks.

Preparing army for war, almost ready.

[exatreide]

President Rodrigues Stood infront of the press room, cameras flashed left and right. The coat of arms stood behind him.

"This Morning. Forces of 01 have invaded our allies in Bulgaria, destroying civialn and military alike. They are showing no Mercy. Therefor Turkey is forced to state a Declaration of War against 01. Italion Bombers have gassed Egyption cities, killing civilans with out mercy, The Collition of African Nations have declared war on Italy, and as so We are forced to declare war on Italy. Russian Submarine forces have begain bombardment of Turkish shore Defensives. Turkey is in a state of war against Russia,01, And Italy. Allah have mercy on our enemys." He turned and walked away the press screaming for more information.

"Sir Russian Submarines in sight." The seaman said adressing Adirmal Osman.

"How many?"

"3 sir. There turning to engage us."

"Let them fire first."

"Sir?"

"I want to see what this ship can take."

Torpedos raced towards the Hades blips could be seen as they aproached

"10 seconds till impact."

"Steady as she goes." Osman said confident of his ship

The ship shudderd slightly as the torpedos impacted the armor.

"Damage report?"

"Minimal damage. Sir they barely scratched the paint."

Osman Smiled.

"Another wave of torpedos incoming."

"Anti Torpedo Systems."

"Launched."

The Torpedos locking system was scrambled 3 torpedos dove and impacted the sea floor the other continued toward the ship.

"Net dropped."

The mettalic net was shot 20 feet away from the ship and decended down. The torpedo hit this and exploded.

"Return Fire." Osman said sadisticly.

Depths charges were shot towards the sub explding in the water.

"Two of the subs are falling back."

"The third?"

"We damanged it, its surfacing."

"Target it with the 18 inch gun."

"Sir? Isnt that a little excessive?"

"Do it. The other Russians will surely observe in there fleeing and report it to the the Tsar.

One of the cannons Turned towards the surfaced russian sub and fired.

A massive explosion could be seen in the distance the round had it the sub dead center it exploded in a massive fire ball.

"Sir We are reciving new orders. Us and our escourts are to join up with third fleet near sinop."

"Alright lets get going full speed ahead."

"Sir Italion Air transports in range." Philips voice came over the radio.

"Copy That. Red 7,8,9, and 10 draw there escourt away" George said bankning his X-98 fighter

"The troop transports begain evasive manuvers the fighter escourt was coming streight at them. Missels were exchanged on both sides, fighters exploded and piliots died in a entricate balle above the sea. Half the Turkish fighters exploded the italions having the advantage of numbers.

"Box 5 target 4." Philips screamed his missle racing towards one of the transports strikcking one of the wings nearly sheering it off. The plane begain a dive twirling into the sea.

3 out of 4 of the Italion transports exploded.

Philips checked his radar all his fellow piliots had been taken out he was the only one left. He was out of missels ,4 italion fighters were closing in, he swithced to machine gun and opened up on the transport heading streight at it, a explosion blossemed on the fourth engine but he kept heading towards it

"For allah!" His plane slammed into the transport taking both of them down to the sea."

Captain Parsha Moohabo of the Persphone lead his ship towards Egypt. His three dozen escourt ships near by.

"Sir we are getting in possition, The Egyption navy has set up near Alexandria, The Somalians and Libyans have all sent a 1/3 of there navies, Sudan and its navy are also helping blockade Egypt from italion airborn invasion, even the Isreali's have sent ships and and aircraft."

What about Libya?" Parsha asked.

"Chad has sent a 1/3 of its military to reinforce Libyan defenses, another third to reinforce Egyption defenses, Sudan is also sending ground forces to suport Egypt 6,000 infantry and two tank divsions, Isreal spared 1,500 infantry to drive the italions out."

"Good set up defensive possitions have our harriers join the air defense."

"Yes sir."

Massive flashs of light could be seen in the distance, specks in the distance hurling thousands of pounds of artilery at the machines. The machines could destroy anything close to them yes, but they could hardly arm the artilery that was miles away.

Sharpie Lead his 12 man sqaud into the bunker. The harvesters were in sight, hundreds of bulgarian infantry fired hoplessly up at them only to be picked up and torn to peices, but still they faught on against all hope.

"Rockets ready?"

"Yes sir."

"God I hope the docs were right."

"Fire!" Ryan screamed. Hundrerds of speicaly made rockets raced towards the 30 or so harvesters Exploding just before impact, Speicaly made EMP rockets. The Harvester shook violently the red light dieing and the harvester collapsing on to the ground dead.

"Echo 119 to Mother nest. Its A go EMP rockets are a go. I repeat EMP rockets are a go."

"Confirmed 119 get the hell out of there."

"Dont have to tell us twice."

Sharpie beckoned his men to fallow and withen minutes they had exited the bunker and were running towards the rendavu point, moments after they left the bunker was struck by a plasma blast, it exploded.

The red explosions in the distance stoped momentarily.

Had we given up? Sharpie thought

They were replaced by blue explosions hundreds if not thousands of EMP artilery shells firing on the harvesters, The battle near the Moutains had just switched dyanmicly Dozens apon dozens of Harvesters fell destroyed, Tanks and aircraft firing on them till they exploded.

34 Syrian Heavy bombers launched towards there destination Sicily. Flying at nearly 60,000 Feet Escourted by Isreali and Somalian fighters. They dropped hundrerds of Bombs across the Palermo Fire bombs all of them. The Italion airforce scrambled and all of the fighters and bombers were shot down, but the damage had already been done, It was nearly a double image of the American and british firebombing raids on germany in the second world war.

The Flames were condensed at the center of town the heat rose at such a spead that cold air rushed in from the edges of town, creating hurrican force winds, the oxygen from the winds fed the fires even more, which created more wind, the tempiture rose to such a point that things that normally wouldnt burn, burned the streets and asphalnt burned, the wind was so extreeme that it wouldnt just pick up light things like paper but wood and even people throwing them into the flames.

Rodrigues looked over the report."That was a dangerous move by the Syrians."

"Indeed, But it was mearly payback for the italion gassing of Egypt."

"The Machine forces were decimated by the EMP bombardment."

"There will be more."

"Greek forces are flooding in as well as Kosvian and other Serbian military."

"And surpising we got a strange offer for allience."

"Really, From who?"

"The Nigerians."

"They arnt in the Arab leque."

"No, But we are freindly with them and apparently they decided to jump in."

"Exelent, have them suport the war against the Italions and ask for aid against Russia and 01."

"A strong economic advantage to our side. The nigerans have become quite wealthy in the past few decades."

"With out machine labor."

"Surprisingly enough." Rodrigues said poring himself another glass of brandy."

"Increase Aircover over The black sea, Constant airprotection over Greece and Edrine, Make sure That the Italions dont hit the Syrians back to hard, Cover them with the southern Gaurd and the 4th carrier group."

"Done."

Turkish Satilites to launch in one post.

sorry haven't bee nable to post in a while :P

thousands of spanish gaurd loaded into the various massive battle ships and destroyers, from above Jaq Draco watched as 2/3 of his army boarded the dozens of massive warships. "General, how many troops are we sending to aid Turkey?" asked Draco glaring at his view screen showing the latest updates on the bombings of Cairo. " 100,000 Spanish gaurd including those we've already given to aid turkey, We also have 500 fighters, 250 bombers, 100 valkyries, 50 thunderhawks, 100 battle tanks, 50 APC's, and 10,000 Spanish Marines." "Any news from Turkey?" "Yes, We just recieved a data disc from Turkish Command," said the old general handing over a mini disk from the inside of his jacket. Draco watched one of the several monitors in the room slowly stroking his small beard. "Alright We attack Sardina with our troops meant for turkeys aid, it seams Turkey wants us to split the "Popes" forces.

all 36 of the massive Battleships and Cruisers left the Harbor traveling into the Mediteranian towards Italy

Missle Defense system 20% complete (15 each aditional post) Fleet ETA to Italy 25% there.

[Dante]

What can I say? I warned you, Ex.

"This is an emergency council, my dear delegates." The Russian Tsar waved his metallic arm around the circular table. "We have had our differences in the past, but we are united now. Not, as I would have prefered, under a banner of peace and prosperity, but out of anxiety arising from the large land gains made by the aggressive Turks. Such a vast amalgamation of unified and violent countries has hardly been seen, and it is this which now unifys us. Delegates, if you would." Tsar Ildvev stood back to allow each of the delegates in turn to step up.

"Japan has always been a technologically advanced nation." The woman from that country said without preamble. "With Japanese and 01 technology we may continue that status and in the process restore a working worldwide economy."

"Kazakhstan has been away too long." A short delegate said quietly. "We have learned our lesson, and will return to Mother Russia."

"Though they could not join us tonight," The Tsar stood up for a moment agin, "I am assured that Chechnya and Georgia have both pledged their support to us as well." He smiled for a second at some private joke.

"Poland was once part of Russia; centuries ago." The woman from Poland stood up. "With the loss of Germany as a free state, we choose to amalgamate peacefully, rather than live with the threat of invasion. Poland will join you."

**North Turkish Coast**

The shelling stopped abruptly. Though the submarines had been depleted, their numbers remained strong. But they stopped. They submerged. They all but disappeared. Of course the defenders hardly realised it.

From out of the surf they came. Transports loaded with... men. The Riget, the Great Scandinavian shock-troops poured from their raiders and took up positions across from the decimated defences.

Turkish fire returned, but with the ammount of rubble around it hardly ever hit, and most was repelled by the tough, chunkey armour that the troops wore.

Behind them came the Russians. With the fire now concentrated on the tougher Riget, the ordinary Russian soldiers could get close, planting explosives wherever possible. Their casualties were heavy, and only three of the five explosives planted went off.

The Riget made more than enough use of them though. The holes blown in the defences were quickly swamped while the Turks fell left and right under the guns and swords of the toughest troops of Great Scandinavia. The Russian soldiers scuttled back and forth, slipping a knife into a groin here, shooting a man in the back there. They were inferior and they knew it, and so they played the supporting role while the Riget slaughtered the defenders.

By the end of the day, a combined base had been set up in the ruins of the closest bunker. End statistics pointed to-

Riget casualties: 38%

Turkish casualties: 79%

Turkish captives: 21%

Russian casualties: 84%.

The battle had been hard on the forces, but all the while more troops arrived from across the Black Sea. They grew. A week or two more, and the scant two miles to Istanbul could be covered. General Holst of the Great Scandinavia forces would be proud indeed, as would his King.

The Harvesters were losing numbers, but not ground. They marched on relentless. After the first few fell to the EMP missiles [note spelling] they learned, and their coils adapted to catch them from the air, hurling them back before their deadly blasts could be activated.

But then three came to the front. Three special machines in front of the entire army. Their globes were smaller, and they had no red pods. Their coils were far far longer than the others, and they were black all over.

The EMP impacted on the first, and it paused. It shook for a second, and then carried on, faster and with more purpose. Three more missiles impacted on one side, and again it paused, but again it resumed its steady march. It reached the Turkish positions, along with its two companions, and begun to wreak havok. The rest of the army waited for an hour or so, and then advanced again unhindered.

Opperation Codenamed 'M' is taking place. Due to earlier incomplete gathering of Russian army it has sped up slightly, and is now at 40%.

[exatreide]

Note Dust scout Im not shooting missels at the Harvesters I'm Shelling them Shells travel at a much higher velocity and airburst above the harvesters ::)

not to mention the missels have proximity fuses and would explode on impact in the firrst place. and even if you threw them to the ground they would explode then.

you took japan even though EXSplug took china, For some reason I really doubt such a small country, isolated from russia would pledge alliance to the enemy, while its living in a superpower's shadow

Thousands of Turkish Milita raced towards the Beaches, Rodrigues called in all reserves and orderd that the new threat be delt with.

The Area around the beach had been sourounded with nearly 15,000 Turkish soidilers and armor.

The Phersphone turned abruptly and headed back towards the submarines.

"Were taking hits sir more torpedeo's no damange to the hull."

"Do whats needed for the subs give me the location of the Russian headquurters."

"Done. They took over are largest bunker there sir its heavily fortified I dont know if we can break it."

"Oh but we can. Arm the 32 inch cannon."

"Sir but its un tested."

"Do it."

The Ship begain to shake as the massive cannon turned towards the bunker.

"Fire when ready."

The Ship shook violently as the massive shell raced out it could actully be seen flying towards the bunker. It exploded in such a massive fireball that it not only took out the bunker but rock bed it was against colllapsed into the sea, the sand below depressed from the shockwave and the tide rushed in. Killing those who atempted to flee.

The Persphones escourt ships begain to rain fire down on the submarines, who returned fire but for every escourt ship that exploded two submarines surfaced and were destoyed.

The Remaining russian and Nordic soldiers were cut off from suport, there bunker and place of cover was ahnilated the stood huddled against the rocks from the oncoming turkish milita and the near constant bombardment from sea. The Turkish forces set up defense possitions and begain slowly driving the Russians and vikings back into the sea. Artillery from near by military basses was rolled toward the beach head and begain opening fire, Turkish fighters begain strafing runs of the beacheads, and two platoons of Spartans arived from there secret military base to handle the northmen.

Galipo had been repeated.

"Foolish of the russians. For atempting amphibious invasion so close to the capital, like we didnt keep reserves around just for the thing, if it had been in hte west he made have established a toe hold but he had to try to land nearest the capital and end the war quickly, if only he had read his history books he would nknow thats not possible."

"Order a bombing raid of Riga, Everything we have. But I want every Aircover we can spare over Ankara,The beachead, And Istanbul, anti air missels and Flack cannons at full alert."

125 Heavy bombers launched from possitions in souther cyrpus escourted by Egyption,Chad,ISreali,and Syriana airforces, these nationes suplied another 35 heavy bombers. Russian Anti aircraft missels lit up the sky but the Turkish bombers were in the high atmosphere out of range of most of the missels.

"Fighters incoming."

"City in sight, Bomb when ready." Turkish commander said dropping his payload of thousands of unguided dummy bombs.

Splattering across the Russians largest sea port on the black sea. The Port was decimated thousands of civilans were killed and tens of thousands were declared homeless.

"Russian Fighters incoming."

"Get them off our back long enough to get in our airspace."

5 entire russian air sqadrouns numbering 200 were racing towards the 75 some escourt fighters.

all of the escourt fighters were destoyed and the turkish bombers with them but the damage had been done. Another amphbious invasion would be near imposible for a long time, 1/4 of the Russian black sea navy had been caught in port and vanished in flames. Small retubution for the invasion of turkey itself.

"Is it ready?" Sharpie asked over the radio. The 3 dozen harvesters that remained of the machine army looming over western Turkey.

"It Is ready."

"All civilan and military troops have been pulled back correct?"

"Correct."

"Fire when ready."

5 Artilery peices launched shells, shells that had not been launched since the 1960's atomic artilery shells. A atomic explosion even a small one created such a emp wave that noting not even the most sheilded of computers could stop.

5 small funfs could be heard as the shells raced towards the turkish and Bulgarian boarder.

"Cover."

The flash was nearly blinding even under the protective visor the speicaly made atomic warheads were incredibly low in radiation and explosive power, but high in EMP shockwave.

Instantly even the speicaly made Harvesters collapsed onto the ground dead. The machine army had been stoped from violetying into Turkish soil more then 2 miles. Convential artilery continued to rain down fire the harvesters exploding from the massed amount of fire.

Messege From Ukraine.

The Crimean And Ukraine People have alwas been loyal to the Turks even through the worst of Times, But the russian military jugernaught is to much. For now we pledge nuetrality to both sides.

Messege From Lebennon

For the sake of Islam we join you.

2,500 Isreali Troops Moved up through Syria and reinofrced the turks boarder with Georiga and for the first time 1,500 Nigerian troops also moved in.

Dozens of Turkish Satilites launched into the atmosphere and set up comminication and survailience systems, all armed with anti missel systems.

General Holst, the CO of the Riget and leader of the expeditionary, had never felt such despair in his life, the Turks were driving his men back, and they were cut off from reinforcements, and he had lost approximately 60% of his division, or in other words 12.000 hirdmen, the thought of surrendering had even crossed his mind, but he knew that no true Scandinavian warrior would ever surrender to the enemies of the Fatherland, then he gave the last command in his life, he opened his comm. link to the entire division, and shouted the divisional battle cry, “For the king and the Fatherland”, in had the desired effect, the men of Riget were reminded or their oath and new vigour seemed to fill the, all along the line the Riget troops began to sluggish forward once again, only the Spartans managed to hold them back, this counter offence came as a complete surprise to the Turks, they had believed that their air and sea bombardment would break the north men, but that was not what had happened, instead their assault had become come an increasingly defensive fight.

For hours the battle continued, although the Turks had received reinforcements and their bombardment began taking it’s toll on Riget, the hirdmen fought on, they were down to 4.000 men, but the Turks did not have the formidable Land Raiders, nor the infantry armour or the hirdmen, so their losses had been huge, almost 15.000 men, but reinforcements kept pouring in, so the outcome was decided already. The north men would soon lose the battle, unless of course a miracle happened.

"Riget" is on the north coast of Turkey, and is down to 20% percent of it’s original strength. But is still holding out.

the 2. Hird division is in Russia

2nd, 3ed, 4th, 5th and 6th Hird divisions are standing by.

The regular army (20 armour and 8 infantry divisions) is still mobilizing

Angela rodriues looked through her scope at the ridget sqaud, She pulled the triger, he fell dead instantly the head shot plastering his head against the stone wall, her rifle swung left and fired again and again, the others in her sqaud continung to fire soon the hind sqaud was down.

"Russians coming in from the north east!" Mitchal screamed

She droped the sniper rifle and picked up the assult rifle, the other spartans rushed down the rocks infront of her russian rounds zinging past her, she turned. what was left of the third russian battalion 4 dozen men all of them nearly out of ammo and exhausted.

The beach was full of boulders, that somehow managed to avoid the bombardment.

Two divisions of spartans had been recently shiped and would arive withen the hour to continue to drive the russian and northmen back.

Angela ducked behind a bolder a rocket throwing up sand beside her. She turned and fired three russians fell dead infront of her. Another russian soilder sprayed ammunition towards her pinging off her armor she rolled to the left and fired killing the russian.

The russian soilders fell back to the last line of bolders, hurling gernades over towards the Spartans the shrapnel barely having a effect on the armor.

The Spartans hurled gernades over the rocks behind the russians and watched the explsions the screaming nearly deafning.

Angela rushed towards the rocks the other spartans fallowing. They climbed ontop and looked down a few russians were there cowering, bloddy there weapons out of ammo.

"Capture them."

The bewindlerd russian soldiers were tied up and taken to the prisinor of war camp. The turks unlike there russian enemy's showed mercy to there enemies.

"Sir I have a large cluster of Hindsmen decteted in the rock formation ahead." The seaman said pointing otwards the map.

"How many?"

"Looks to be there command and control, around 1,500 could be seen from this distance."

"Fire with everything we have."

Missels raced out of the Persphone, The deck guns fired at a near constant rate.

He watched as the beach exploded

"The Command and control is still un harmed but the rocks around it have collapsed. 120 are traped inside. we killed a few hundrerd in the bombardment the rest fled for cover."

Messege to Great Scandavia.

Your command center is trapped, you will die if you are not dug out, your invasion forces dont have the eqipment needed to dig out. Lay down your arms and you will be un harmed, We will dig your forces out. and no harm will come to you.

Rodrigues smiled. 1915 all over again, The Russians and the Scandavians were in full retreat blockaded from sea and from air, bombardent constantly, Russian surenders were in the hundreds, but the scandavians faught till the death, what a waste. They were good soilders. The Battle would be over withen 3 days, with either the complete ahinatlion of the Scandavian forces and Russians, or the surrender. Rodrigues didnt lie when he said they wouldnt be harmed if they surenderd. Plus 4,000 Spartans ariving withen the hour.

100 Spanish dreadnoughts approached the turkish forces as the russian forces retreated. "We are gifts from Spain for your use against 01 and your enemies," said one of the dreadnoughts flexing it's powerfist, several of the dreadnoughts had replaced their dual Heavy Bolters (gauss cannons) with assault cannons (massive gatling cannons). As the rest of the dreadnoughts came into the camp the main dreadnought, chaplain xavier, leaned back staring at the several hundred (1000) drop pods falling from the sky containing the elite and fear spanish marines, equals to the hirdmen in everyfield.

ok so now 100 dreadnoughts and 1000 spanish marines are at your disposal ex, use them.

The Atlantic Ocean:

The Russian Warship was sailing around the coast of Sweden when suddenly it was blown out of the water. Its burning pieces rained down from the sky.

As the burning pieces of wreckage floated on the surface of the water the American 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th fleets sailed through, to land in Sweden and begin to redeem the world.

And, as always, Eternal Twilight was primed and ready.

American Fleets:

1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th:

50 frigates

20 crusiers

[Balrog1911]

I just joined the forum, Micheal showed me.

Is Germany taken or destroyed yet?

If not i'll take it.

If it is, I'll take Canada.

[Dante]

Germany is part of Great Scandinavia, as, by the way, is Sweden.

Michael: Since when did I use warships? Have I mentioned anything about warships? And since when was Sweden next to the Atlantic? Since when have I made any moves into the Atlantic? Stop telling me what my forces are doing, it sounds like Ex.

Ex: Details aside, I warned you once already to stop adding countries to your empire. I took Japan (which came because of 01's tech), Poland, and the others already in an attempt to show you what you're doing. It's too easy, it's annoying, and it's close to god-modding. Now stop it. And since when was the Persephone in the Black Sea? Last time I checked she was in the Mediteranian on her way to Egypt... If so there are no Russian positions for you to fire at. Also, stop telling me that my troops are surrendering, I don't do that to you.

"Cut off from support, are they?" The Tsar frowned. "How many men do we have out there?"

"Few, if any." Vivienne answered. "All of the captives will have killed themselves by now, with the teeth." She smiled grimly, "Hopefully taking out a few of the enemy in the process."

"Nonetheless, this oppertunity won't come again." Vladimyr scowled. "After this that coast will be next to impenetrable. Might I make a suggestion?"

"The Ilythiiri ?" The Tsar smiled at his advisor. "You want to send them out so prematurely?"

"Considering how the Bulgarian front is going I think it's a little late by now." Vladimyr replied. "They went on shore with our troops and the Riget. They're waiting for orders."

"They're there already?!" Vivienne exclaimed, turning on her companion.

"Just in case." Vladimyr held up his hands. Both looked over to the Tsar, who was deep in thought.

"Very well." He said at last. "I've waited long enough, let them loose. Besides, this should be a good way to show our Scandinavian friends how much we care about them."

All of the Russian Infantry were dead. Every single one. There were no captives, and no survivors. The Riget, on the other hand, fought on bravely. Their numbers slowly dropping, they battled on regardless.

Angela Rodrigues surveyed the carnage. She was confident of victory. Below her, two of her comrades were inspecting the bodies for survivors while the main fighting continued a few metres ahead. She smiled, and as she did so, a shadow slipped by her vision. One of the men dropped. His companion took up a defensive stance immediately; but seeing no foes, leaned down to inspect his friend. The radio crackled.

**Dead. Not a mark on him.**

"Stay put, I'm coming down." Angela leapt down from the boulder she had perched on to land without a wobble next to the body.

'Best of the best. Strong and smart. Not prone to ill health. What caused this?' She thought as she made a cursory examination. Behind her, there was a short gurgle, cut off. She swung around at once, just in time to see the second man slump to his knees.

Looking around, Angela heard nothing but the raging battle nearby, saw nothing but rubble and carnage. Then the reports began to come in.

**Casualties rising fast Ma'am. Can't tell what's happening. Seems to-**

**-just fell down. Saw a shadow maybe but-ark!**

**Request new orders! Reque-kkkkgggghhhh**

**Trying infra-red. Can't see anything hostile or any machi-hurk!**

The leader of the Ilythiiri watched from a well-chosen shadow. His weapons were silent, tiny, and filled with venom. His men and women even now flitted like silent shaodws about the area. They culd hide anywhere, couldn't be sensed, couldn't be heard. They would fall like flies in open battle but in guerilla warfare and stealth there were none who could beat them.

He watched as one of the Ilythiiri slipped a needle-thin dagger through a barely visible crack in Spartan armour. The man felt a sting, enough for him to turn round, and was abruptly destroyed by one of the Riget. The woman who had stabbed him was already gone, moving like a spider across the wreckage to another victim.

**News.** The leader's emplanted communicator sprang to life, **Turkish reinforcements and airforce arriving. We can't hold the base, take the remaining landraiders and retreat.**

**Very well.** The leader transmitted. He wasn't above retreating when the order came. The Riget, on the other hand... They didn't even know he or his people were there. How was he supposed to get them out of there? He sighed, and transmitted. **Heavy enemy casualties, but it won't last. Ilythiiri retreating to B Base 2. Riget have little to fight now, but if they don't run while they can they'll be slaughtered.**

So saying, he sent out the transmission to his dedicated stealth troops, and slipped away.

Operation 'M' now at 67%. Two posts until completion.

Note: Well there are Spartans, Riget, and Paladins running around so I thought I'd have a speciality group of my own.

Note2: Welcome to the topic, Balrog1911. Germany has been annexed so feel free to take Canada.

Message to Canada:

As you can plainly see, this war is beginning to enter the violent stage. Please do not think of me as the aggressor, tI am trying to protect those who could not protect themselves. America 'nuked' 01 after the machines were persecuted and slaughtered all over the world, with only a select few exceptions. Turkey and China both invaded beforehand, with aid. Covert attacks on Rome and the Pope himself have all been attributed to Turkish plots. They destroyed all of my satellites, including purely civilian ones. They claim I have taken life needlessly, when it was they who first decided that genocide was to be the fate of a people who wanted no more than human rights, though they themselves were not human.

Why am I sending this? Because with the addition of many nations to Turkey's growing Empire; we are dealing with a world war. Russia, Great Scandinavia, Italy and possibly Finland have already acted to protect the machines. Will you please join us?

Sincerely, Tsar Mikhail Ildvev of Imperial Russia.

[Jack Leaf]

Five divisions are ready to the war (and the one division, which was already ready. Stays defending Finland).

Finland will send three divisions to the Sweden. The divisions will be there as long as needed to be.

The other two are sent to Belgium.

And so massive amount of ships, airplanes and helicopters take off towards G.S... and Belgium.

[exatreide]

The Hades is the ship in the Mediteranian ::). And isnt invisible units god modding ::) you know you sorta cant kill what you cant see ::) so i'm just going to ignor them for now.

"Reports of Russian speical forces on the beaches are in. They are useing some sort of Cloacking tech, we are having trouble detecting them. Several Spartans are down."

"But the Russian troops?"

"All of them are dead. Even the ones that we captured. The Scadavians are facing invasion from our American allies as well. So I doubt they will be sending much more suport. They are fighting to the death. With honor aparently even charging our machine gun posts."

"Foolish, but they have inflicted three times more casulties then the Russians."

"The Lebenonease want to send some troops to the war effort."

"How many?"

"1,500."

"Bring em, Get as many troops from anywhere. Armor, Planes, Ships anything."

"Of course."

"The Bulgarian front is all but secure the last of the machines are being moped up as we speak, Greece and Bulgarian navies are joining the black sea defeanse of Turkey. And the Spanish troops are just ariving."

"Get them to the front."

"Send this messege to the Russians."

Russia:

Your Invasions were repelled both of them. Turkey and its allies will not fall that easy. You have set foot apon turkey and all of your soldiers were killed. The Colition is forming against you. We bid you to ask for peace.

Angela rodrigues and her sqaud continued mopping up.

Messege to Canada.

The Americans Bombed 01, Turks died in the bombing as well and we do comdem the atomic bombardment. However Russia had repeatidtly launched biological and chemical attacks turkey for no reason, they even managed to destroy our un armed scientific space craft. The machines have invaded and butchored civialns with out mercy. Do not Russian propoganda They are brutal blood thirsty savagaes.[/color.]

[ordos45]

-Sardinia-

The artillery and missile launchers began to boom, but the small division stationed on Sardinia knew they would be able to hold. Ammunition depots were rigged with explosives, as were fuel stations. The minute Spanish troops overran the front bunkers, the isle would start going in flames, one area at a time.

Negotiations with a large number of Catholic nations: 65%, complete next post.

"commence first stage of operation pugatorous" said Draco to the elderly general.

valkyries and thunder hawk gunships lifted off of the carriers decks one by one forming a group of 25 valkyries and 15 thunderhawks. "*shhh* alpha one this is epsilion two commence bombing in my mark roger*shh*"

"epsilion two this is the emperors justice we are sending you the surveilance footage now" "Roger" "Roger" The group of gunships started opening fire at the enemy bases targeting fuel dumps and ammo stations first then moving on to barracks and hangers. "Holy shhhhhh-t what the hell ws that?" yelled epsilion two as one of hte fuel stations erupted in a 1 kiloton blast. " The Italian base became a giant yellow fireball as the hidden italian explosive detonated sending shrapnel flying at the Spanish gunships causesing minor damage to their thick hulls. Italian soldiers lit up the night sky with flak and SAMs but their AA had only taken out two valkyries before they were destroyed leaving the base open for continued pounding.

" general, I want our our cruisers to use their hunter-killer missles on then ext few targets before we start dropping in marines" "yes lord draco"

the raid had left nothing but blackened pieces of rebar and concrete after the bombardment of melta and krak (bunker busters) bombs and the hail of bolter (gauss) and las fire caused by the thunderhawks and valkyries.

"draco we have word from our latest surveilance photos, the port is now open for our landing craft but it seems the italians have concentrated themselves in the middle of island instead of at their ports"

"General, It doesn't matter now, when our our cruisers finish their bombardment of hunter-killer missles, their be nothing left of the italians except their charred bones"

[Balrog1911]

Canada is joining the war. what side? Well, i have decided.

NORTH AMERICANS UNITE!

Tsar,your ways of coercion are futile. YOu are not to be trusted, and I will die before i join you.

I will join the war against the machines.

Canada has, at its instant disposal:

30,000 light infantry

17,000 heavy infantry

6,000 Exoskeletons

5,000 tanks.

numbers will rise by 1% with each post

EXCEPT 100 of a special group of spy/quick combat bots which increases at a rate of 1/4 of the others.

Also a navy with:

500 subs

700 light Cruisers

500 Heavy cruisers

120 heavy battleships

10 nuke subs with 16 nukes each

55 carriers

here it wil increase slowly

2 subs with every 3 posts

1 light cruisers for 3 posts

1 heavy cruiser with every 4 posts

1 battleship with every 6 posts

1 nuke sub with every 10 posts

1 carrier every 15 posts

air force with 3,000 fighters

400 bombers

300 air/water planes.

First action is to scour Florida clean of all machines using 2 long-range EMP rockets from a battleships, and using 4 bombers on whatever is left.

Message to Russia:

Tsar, your attempts at mastery are foolish. Soon even you will realize this. However, when you do, do not come to us for help. Run somewhere else. WE will stand together against the machines and all who aid them.

You want us to give our lives, we give you hell before we do.

[The_Sadukar]

I am kinda depressed at the moment, to please don't continue your attacks on Great Scandinavia and her forces, untill I post again, otherwise I fear I might be overrun, while I can't even muster the force of will to post...

As For Riget, it have withdraw to the bottom of the Black Sea by using it's Land Raiders.

[Dante]

I didn't say they were invisible, Ex. I said they couldn't been seen. There's a difference. And they aren't using any form of cloaking technology. Haven't you grown tired of making things up about my forces?

And Canada, if you're fighting with the Americans, why on earth do you have bots?

Reply to Canada;

Very well; so be it. I tried to persuade you to join us as an ally, not a slave. But your mind is clearly made up, and so I will waste no more of our time.

Reply to Turkey;

[sarcasm] Well if you're going to destroy my troops without giving me a chance to do anything about it what do you expect? [/sarcasm] Don't count your chickens before they're hatched. And if you want peace, then give the machines leave to create their nation without let or hinderance. Then we can lay down our arms.

Project 'M' completed. The Black Sea and all waters surrounding Russia and Japan have been mined. To venture into them is basically certain death. ;D

Project 'D' now beginning. Far more complex and taking far longer, this will take ten posts to complete. Current status: 0%.

Ilythiiri troops remain, though where they've set up base is known only unto themselves (That means, no making it up! )
