Like a well oiled machine your men mounted up in trucks and riding atop your tanks move out traveling across the plains. Your scouts pretty easily spot the signs of the enemy hastily abandoned outposts and recon positions but no actual sighting of them. The enemy most likely having seen your force coming and deciding to pull back. Your convoy soon comes to a cross road. You can either keep hugging the coast and eventually come to a river crossing or you can deviate east somewhat to a somewhat familiar place, the ferrovian military academy the massive campus where all officers of the ferrovian army were formerly trained.

Probably a stronghold that needs to be seized or neutralized.
Also Norton just got 4000 men and probably zero trained officers. We could use a handful of cadidiots to handle all the administrative work nobody else wants to do. And they should know by now what not surrendering will entail for them.

Turning east somewhat you start heading for the military academy where yourself and the majority of your officers were trained. The sparse fields and farm houses soon turn to the outskirts of the academy's campus, well manicured hedges and properly kept training fields. Your scouts moving forward get good eyes on the buildings on the academy itself. Thye sight well dug in trenches and foxholes with many of the buildings having been reinforced with sandbags. The occasional machine gun position or rifle bunker is obvious.

The fortifications seem to be manned by a mix of regular infantry and young men wearing the academy's uniforms. Your scouts, apparently having learned from the failures of the monarchist campaign, manage to stealthy dig observation posts to keep an eye on the enemy while you plan what to do.

You nearly get shot when approaching one of the academy's outposts white flag raised the young men guarding it, fumbling with their guns as you approach. It doesn't take long for someone of a higher rank to arrive and ask your intentions. You inform the officer that you request their surrender and to save their men's lives. The officer disappears for some time, probably relaying your request to whoever is in charge the academy's dean most likely but he returns a stern look on his face. They politely but firmly inform you they will not be accepting the offer of surrender and inform you a similar offer is given to you one you have to deny.

The scouts in their hidden positions inform you the enemy has begun to move about many of those out in the open now hidden in fortifications and other last minute preparations for battle are done. Likewise you see to it that your battery of artillery is ready to begin firing. You give the order to open fire shortly after noon and the guns begin to bombard the campus.

The artillery begins to land around the campus, plumes of dirt flying into the air as they hit but you begin to notice a worrying sign out of all of your shells, nearly half of them are not exploding, instead just burying themselves in the dirt. It seems youve received a batch of dud shells in your most recent resupply. Your mortars do a bit better but still they lack much of the needed explosive to damage the enemy fortifications. The enemy's own artillery starts to try and counter your own battery and they seem to be doing very well at getting near your own battery. Its takes you a few moments to figure out why. Your men in a cruel fate have set up your battery of guns right in the old artillery firing range. You quickly order a cease on the barrage and order your artillery to pack up and fall back to a safer position. Its only through the lack of heavier guns on the enemies part you don't lose any of your guns.

The academy has the surrounding fields well sighted for artillery which means counter battery fire is far too dangerous for you to properly bombard the campus. You back off the campus and go through your options. You could just order a general assault and hope the skill and experience of your men is more then enough to take the campus. You could likewise see if encircling the place with armor could force them to surrender. Or you could see if your gunships could deal enough damage to make a proper assault.

Best rolls for each section laid out for convenience.

You once again call in your gunships and their crews to earn their pay. The modified transport planes take off from a section of highway converted to an airfield and begin to circle the campus. The occasional machinegun tries to fire at them but they are far too high up for regular crew served weapons to have an effect as they begin to fire. The 20mm and regular 12.7 machine gun rounds begin to pepper the campus as your armor and motorized infantry begin to sweep around the flanks easily bypassing or destroying various choke points as they do so. Its when the gunships run out of ammunition when the situation worsens somewhat as the junta forces scramble a reserve of infantry and trucks to form impromptu blocking forces which manage to halt a full encirclement of the enemy. Thankfully the enemy doesn't hand out too much punishment before your men realize continued attacks would cost too many lives and equipment.

The campus still has at least one decent route in and out meaning starving them out is out of the option you could potentially try to complete the enrichment but you risk severe damage to your force. The option for a full assault of the enemy position is also possible You can always hope the enemy guns are distracted with your attempted encirclement and try to bombard them again

>Try to complete the encirclement
>Frontal assault
>attempt another bombardment

>>6018947
Do we still have enough gunship ammo to do a bombardment to give cover to the troops that do a frontal assault on the half successful encirclement side of the campus?

The idea is since we destroyed some of the choke points on half encirclement then there is a safe and mapped out area to assault with while gunships give covering fire for a full assault from one direction.

Some people may die but its is better than attempting another encirclement or waiting them out as they can call in reinforcements.

>>6019119
You could drain some ammunition from your stock for your infantry and tanks but it would put you dangerously low on crew served ammunition

>>6018947
did the gunships manage to take out enough of their artillery to allow us to use our own without fear of counterbattery?
do we have eyes on their line of communication?
if both these conditions are met, we could settle for bombarding the road if/when they try to use it.

>>6019138
Some of the enemy guns were undoubtedly taken out but exactly how many there are left you aren't sure

The Junta make heavy use of radios unlike the monarchists who used runners

>>6019173
right. we learned about that at Albrecht's Ford.
looks like we need to start blasting "It's a small world, after all" at various points when they are trying to use the radios.

>>6019207
but also we should be triangulating their broadcasts and calling fires on the source.

Effectively textbook for this situation, minimize the enemy's ability to respond while continuing to maintain mobility although if this fails we will probably have to do a controlled retreat cause things are gonna be real bad otherwise.

Making use of the garbled radio transmissions of the enemy, your signal corp tries their best to nail down the location of the enemy guns. However The sheer number of radios and different frequencies in use inside the academy campus makes pinpointing the location of the guns nearly impossible.

Despite the guns not being neutralized, it is decided that you need to take the academy before enemy reinforcements arrive. The morning of the third day of your impromptu siege of the campus your men step off from their entrenched positions under the cover of mortar fire and your howitzers at the extreme of their range. The barrage does well at concealing your men as they approach the outer edge of the enemy defenses. Your men make good headway as they clear the outer edges of the academy. The Enemy however makes it a costly endeavor Several platoons take several wounded and dead as they clear the trench works and foxholes. The cadets of the academy are heavily dedicated to their cause. The day comes toa close with your men having made a substantial foothold in the outer defenses with only the main buildings and some of the dorms uncaptured.

junta, not monarchists, point stands

The next day in the earliest hours of the morning your men are preparing for a day of CQC and room to room fighting when they hear shouts and and cries of. FOR LORD PROTECTOR BARIC! As the enemy launches a counter attack. They rush from prepared foxholes and the few remaining buildings they hold. Your men are badly caught off guard by this attack as they were busy preparing to attack themselves. The attack is repelled somewhat easily but it does make your mens coordination quite poor. It does however mean as the smoke clears the enemy positions have far fewer men to clear out.

It takes nearly the entire day but you men do eventually manage to clear the last of the academy's buildings. The enemy that you dont kill or capture take advantage of their clear route of retreat. The academy grounds are covered in the bodies of young cadets and regular soldiers alike; your own blue armbanded dead stand out from the enemies. The cost of taking the academy has been higher than most of your regular attacks but still not too severe to threaten the combat effectiveness of your units. Your men have spent close to a week on the front so far but seem to still be in good spirits and decently rested enough.

You decide to keep your momentum and push on from the badly damaged academy. Your men make good time pushing past where your advance stopped, sweeping up a few stragglers from the academy as you go adding them to your ever growing number of prisoners.

The recon teams make good time screening ahead of your main force and soon encounter what appears to be a large motorized infantry formation. They go about their work of counting the enemy numbers and soon return the info that ahead of you is an enemy force of at least five battalions all motorized. Your recon teams unfortunately are unable to stay and observe more than that however as they are spotted and have to make a hasty retreat under fire.

You give the order and your artillery battery is brought forward and begins to get your guns ready to fire. Your scouts manage to sneak their way close again and begin to relay the locations of the enemy motor pools and fuel depots. The artillery crews are seasoned veterans of this by now and have the range down proper when you give the order to fire. Each of your guns fire in sequence and your scouts soon announce the rounds landing amongst the enemy. The scouts however report once again your rounds have nearly a 50% failure rate to detonate. The enemy relatively unscathed begins to mount up and begin to head in your direction. You order your men to brace for an assault while the gun crews quickly begin to pack their guns to retreat.

The enemy dismount from their trucks in good order some distance from your improvised defensive line and edging to push forward. They must have been expecting some unmotivated regular infantry or some poorly equipped communists but instead they slam into the defensive strength of your airborne and the F.A.G. Machinegun fire and the howl of mortars fills the air as your men begin to repel the enemy attack as your heavy artillery is moved back away from the fighting.

The enemy arent amateurs either once they realize you arent some easy to kill yokels they change tactics instead setting up their own mortars. This causes the battle to turn into a stalemate of mortar dues as your men hunker in their holes.

You swear to yourself as reports of the enemy mortars harassing your own mortars floodl into your command post slightly behind the frontline. You look around your tent as your command staff busy themselves with receiving reports or communicating over the radio. You gesture for your personal radio operator to come over to you. “Get the armor up here now” he nods vigorously as he leans into his radio equipment to relay orders for your armored core to come up to the front from the rear where they were waiting.

The enemy has made a crucial mistake in dismounting from their trucks and deciding to attack you with mortars instead of backing off or pushing your lines. Now they sit without transport in a perfect position to be rolled over by your tanks. That's exactly what happens when your medium and light tanks a few minutes later push out from your lines in a textbook spearhead attack showing off their growing skill in armored warfare as they kill rout or capture anything in their way, your infantry flooding in behind them to secure the corridor of your advance. The enemy for their part do the best they can to retreat from your tanks which is to say not very good as they leave behind a significant amount of equipment as they run.

Your armor does eventually have to stop to refuel and your men do need to sleep at some point in the night. The enemy will most likely take this chance to retreat in the dead of night so you can keep slashing through their lines with impunity. Your men are at a moderate level of combat fatigue and your ammo and fuel supplies are passable.

As the bulk of your force settles in for the night dark clouds begin to loom on the horizon. Those very same clouds just after nightfall drive bringing with them a torrential rainfall. You're no stranger to the south's great rains but this is on another level The rains bring with them mud and winds that send your force in complete disarray. You even receive reports while you're busy trying to not be flooded out of your command tent that one of the Light tanks was swept downstream as the crew apparently decided to make camp in a dry riverbed.

The next day was spent mostly trying to consolidate your men as the rain and flooding had spread your force out badly. There was some material lost but nothing too important. The mud make pushing almost impossible for the day but the next the dirt roads are dry enough for you to keep going

The men, despite the setback of the rain, make good time pushing north. Your recon teams find a lot of signs of the enemy but yesterday's rain slowed down a motorized formation like your own far more than the now majority on foot force. The recon teams do soon find the first signs of a real fighting force when they encounter the outermost of what appear to be enemy pickets. They sneak past this pickets with skill and manage to get eyes on what they believe to be the main body of the enemy force. They spot a mix of light armor and more motorized infantry they seem to be preparing for an attack and the enemy camp appears to be bustling with activity as they appear to be loading up on munitions and refueling their vehicles.

Fellow HBO Rome enjoyer I see.

The enemy are too close to setting off from their starting points for you to move your guns up to fire on them so the attack will have to be carried out by armor and infantry. The armor and trucks speed past your command tent as they head for the enemies last known position and quickly find them. The ensuing attack slams into them like a force of nature but quickly begins to lose momentum as the tanks begin to fight in what amounts to CQC for tanks and your infantry duels with their infantry. The reports start to roll in that the enemy force you're facing is an advanced element of the 1st Armored division, the oldest and most elite of the ferrovian armored core.

The day begins to wind down as your force finally sends the enemy back they retreat in good order and a lack of fuel or energy means you can chase them. Its more than likely the rest of the enemy force is nearby.

>>6035626
An extreme moderate. Kek. We are a moderate that actually looks for practical solutions, has the competence to go for it, and will use force to get there.

The entire might of an armored division is going to come down apon you tomorrow and you plan to break them when they do. You pull back to a more defensible position centered on a nearby forested hill and order your men to dig in. The digging in honestly goes poorly. The ground is still saturated from last rain which means your men struggle to dig fighting positions and mostly just wear themselves out as they set up kill zones and improvised fighting positions.

Your XO wakes you early the next morning well before sunrise he informs you the enemy has just passed the outer pickets and are now pushing head long right into your pre planned kill zones. You head to an observation post and witness as your mortars launch the first of the illumination flares lighting up the majority of a battalion standing right in your main kill zone ill positioned and spread out. They halt out of either surprise or fear for a few seconds before your men open fire your tanks and gun trucks focus in on the enemy armor damaging many in the first salvos. Your infantry go to the bloody work of gunning down the coverless enemy infantry. This lasts for hours until the sun begins to poke above the hills illuminating the field that is strewn with corpses and burning tanks. The enemy paid dearly for this mistake and must be retreating at all haste. Your men are somewhat tired but can still fight and your ammo situation is starting to get low.

You men are tired and the enemy are running so you decide to order some of the regular army to hold the line while your men take some much needed rest. While they rest you go about scrounging ammo and fuel for your next push, a task easier said then done with every command level officer doing the same all along the frontline. While doing so you hear Norton and his “marines” thrash a Junta infantry division to your east and even the navy makes an appearance in a small skirmish to your south along the coast. You do spend your time besides tracking down ammo to also write a scathing letter to the factory manager you received your most recent batch of artillery shells from about the severe dip in quality. You don't expect a reply.

The men are well rested after about a week and youve found enough ammo and fuel to keep pushing.

oh shit, I thought it was just one dice.

no post till tomorrow but finally some decent rolls

Your orders are passed down and your men begin to push forward along the dirt roads that make up much of the rural north. The landscape shows signs of war in some places, the occasional piece of destroyed equipment left on the side of the road. Signs having been destroyed to confuse navigation you even pass by the burning wreck of a downed aircraft as you make good time heading north, What you dont find however is the enemy they have seemed to have taken your R&R as a chance to pull back most likely to a much better position to fight from. Your recon teams can barely stay ahead of the main formation due to the muddy nature of the roads the great spring rains making their light vehicles get mired in mud.

Nice roll. I had connectivity issues and i think i capitalized Dice which made it easy my roll. But it's clearly better for that middle 92

Your recon teams finally manage to unstuck themselves and race ahead of your slowly moving main boy. They soon find the enemies defensive line. The enemy have set themselves along a narrow stream preparing to use it as a block against your armor. They number close to 6 battalions of infantry and one of your recon teams manage to sneak past them and spot what's left of the armored division being held in reserve. The enemy doesn't seem to have any aircraft in the area and they must be low on fuel after running from you for so long.

No air support, armor division is battered and mostly infantry leads me to believe this is the best option here. (Although i'd prefer some bombardment first)

Had to look up what maneuver attack looked like in the archive so ye only infantry and barely any armor will let the tanks rush b unless there is a hidden debuff for the stream environment.

Well atleast we didn't do combined arms i'd imagine things would go real bad if we screwed that up.

You order your armored force and motorized infantry to swing wide around their defenses and encircle them. That was your order at least what actually happens is a haphazard attempt to find the edge of the enemy line and then accidentally pushing right into it the proceeding counter attack by the enemy should have been a complete mascare save for the heroic efforts of an armored platoon who held out despite a nearly being outnumbered 5-1 in enemy armor. They held up the enemy just long enough for friendly reinforcements to arrive in the form of nortons people. Your force retires to camp that night bruised but still combat capable. The enemy remains in place waiting for your next attack. They know you may try to flank them and have hardened their outer flanks.

Oh wow. Good thing i didn't roll!

The arrival of your gunships must be terrifying for the average enemy soldier. The large transport aircraft usually used for aerial resupply or the dropping of paratroopers instead of flying right over the enemy position to do either begin to turn instead of an entire formation; your gunships now take turns saturating the enemy position of 12.7 and 20mm fire for hours. The mud being churned up by the guns as they rake the enemy foxholes and command positions even the armor is not safe as the 20mm rounds punch through the soft top of the enemy armor. The enemy do try to shoot them down however any attempt is met with the full force of the gunship being fired at. This last for most of the day until it gets dangerously dark for your airships to stay in the air. The enemy is battered and most likely in disarray

Their armies were dispersed during our first maneuver and now they are crippled and scattered with less armor so we can afford a full on charge.

Ferrovian fun fact until about 100 years ago the people of bellville spoke a unique dialect of marsallia instead of ferrovian

The following morning your men push off from their positions sweeping forward in a mix of armor and infantry. They take things slow, the last attack having put a healthy fear of this particular enemy force but they do start to find the enemy. The stragglers your force find are easily moped up and either killed or captured. The enemy in the night has pushed to your east heading right for Norton position. You could keep pushing north or you could swing east and smash this enemy forces for good with Norton holding them in place.

Behind every "It's over" a "We're so back" lies in wait.

The 5th motorized had so far a good war, smashing the odd reformist partisan and sweeping away monarchist levies. The last few weeks had been rough large pushes in the north had seen their reserves being drained and then some crack reformist formation had begun to push the south; it wasn't until a handful of captured soldiers revealed the force they were facing was the full strength of the 1st airborne. That's when things turned for the worse, those damn modified transports and then as they ran east, running into some oversized infantry formation that had stopped their retreat. They could salvage this turn north and make a run for friendly lines however the roar of engines and the sound of mortars landing announced the arrival of the 1st airborne again.

The attack went well with large amounts of the enemy throwing up the white flag with only a small amount of the enemy armor managing to escape north. Nortons men manage to prove themselves by holding the enemy in place long enough for you to smash the last of the enemy formations resistance. Ammo is somewhat low but the men are well rested and eager to keep going
