The Federated Sun's Reborn

[kelgar04]

I have a bad feeling about the meeting with Teddy.

[Seydlitz]

The new Duke of Panpour might find it valuable to partner with Dame Humphreys to reestablish  Andurien Aerospace to build the Riever, Stingray and most importantly the Shiva OmniFighter with financial aid from House Davion/FedSuns government grants with technical support from Jalastar Aerospace(in exchange for a Shiva production license)on New Andurien.

3068 - November - General Update

The evacuated Duchess of Andurien also meets with Conrad Davion on behalf of his cousin Victor Davion. Also present is Duchess Isis Marik, the First Princes's consort. Both promise her continued support not only for herself and her government in exile but also the flood of refugees who are mostly housed within the Capellan March. Conrad Davion promises that the Federated Sun's will attempt to retake the Grand Duchy, but admits that given the distance between the front lines and Andurien this will be difficult. In the meantime however and as a sign of good will the First Prince will gift a newly discovered and habitable world on the Periphery border of his realm to the Duchess and to the people of Andurien. New Andurien will be a protectorate of the Federated Suns and the FedSun's will happily aid in the movement of the exiles from the current refugee camps to the world and help set up a functioning colony for them. The handful of surviving Defenders of Andurien will be reequipped and set up as the planetary garrison. While the exiled Duchess is unhappy that the FedSun's refuses to commit to a full on crusade of liberation of her homeworld she is practical enough to realise that this was never likely and accepts with pained grace the offer of a new homeworld for those of her people who have fled into exile with her. Although she promises both Conrad Davion and Isis Marik that she fully intends to reclaim her lost homeland no matter the cost.

Unsurprising. Although there are possibilities ahead to be sure, she'd better settle in for a long wait and be fully prepared to make her home work here.

The Yeffter’s Weapons plant in orbit over Gulkana begins work on it's first of the huge new NAC-30's that it has been commissioned to provide for the growing Federated Sun's Navy. These huge naval autocannon are to form the backbone of the firepower of many of the ship classes currently either planned or under construction and the new plant is to help meet the demand.

And why, the question keeps getting asked, does the Federated Suns need THAT many NAC/30s pray tell? And why does Victor giggle like that every time we ask?  :))

The front lines on Andurien finally collapse and the last of the 1st Defenders are wiped out in their last stand at the Ducal Palace by a combination of orbital strikes and artillery barrages. A handful of infantry hold out in the cellars of the palace until the 4th of November, but they are finally burned out by specially outfitted battle armoured troopers. On the 5th of November the new self styled Duke Baxter announces the formal formation of the Andurien Commonality of the Capellan Confederation with himself at it's head. Sian remains silent on the matter but doesn't formally endorse his new title.

The new Duke's first order of business is to begin rebuilding work. Priorities are given for industrial sites, his Ducal Palace and the training facilities on the planet.

Yeah, um, good luck with that given that the locals despise you with the hate of a thousand suns, he has no Government, no industries supporting him. And if he tries to coerce the locals he will have the mother of all insurgencies on his hands across the place...

Unsurprisingly, Baxter is about to find that having cut his ties loose with Sian for all intents and purposes, he has SFA in terms of ability to actually Govern the place, enemies on all sides and probably a Mask officer close at hand just waiting for the termination order. Even as the Federated Suns continues their systematic obliteration of the Capellan Confederation as he squats on planets Victor has offically recognized and has a Government in exile waiting with him

I give him a year, tops.

Coordinator Theodore Kurita makes a major play on the 26th of November when he "invites" First Prince Davion to a secret meeting face to face to discuss the current crisis. The language in the invitation ruffles more than a few feathers with the AFFS officers and FedSun's diplomatic staff who see it, but the First Prince agrees almost instantly and suggests meeting in the Northwind system. However this is immediately refused and instead the Coordinator suggests the dead system of Lockdale, once a thriving Hegemony capital world, as a neutral meeting site. Reluctantly the First Prince agrees, but with the condition that he can bring a strong escort which is accepted...

Well this isn't suspicious in any way shape or form. And what exactly is so critical he wants a face to face instead of communication via HPG ...

Wonder if they'll have a real face to face, but I think the security teams on both sides would go utterly nuts. So just a direct video conference or something...

[snakespinner]

Just wondering if we could get a list of what units the MAC have in the Duchy of Andurien.
I don't think they have that much infantry or armour and they cannot recruit locally.
There would be so many uprisings on every world.

[Adventwolf]

Teddy wants to show off his big new battleship?

Good then the ship can break when he tries to use it.

[Tyler Jorgensson]

Good then the ship can break when he tries to use it.

I’m expecting either a Palmyra like event or an actual meeting with maybe Kitsune making an appearance. Those or a WoB style attack on the level of Outreach.

[Adventwolf]

I’m expecting either a Palmyra like event or an actual meeting with maybe Kitsune making an appearance. Those or a WoB style attack on the level of Outreach.

Theodore is likely going to try and use Victor's bastard to try and get concessions from Victor or he will reveal his existence. Not that it would help Kurita at all. It will hurt them more than it will hurt Victor. He was told the child died everyone was told the child died. This just makes Theodore look like a scumbag.

3068 - December - Capellan Front

As December began the Capellan Confederation Armed Forces braced themselves for a Third Wave, however as the days passed no further attacks came. Instead reports from holdout forces on Davion conquered planets and the few garrisons who were still resisting reported that the AFFS was consolidating their positions and refitting/repairing their equipment, no doubt in preparation for further attacks. However just as the CCAF began to breath in relief the AFFS launched 4 limited attacks with mostly second line or mercenary formations, while completing military operations on 2 more.

Remshield

The Valexa CMM landed on Remshield in mid December and immedietly began attacking the local Home Guard formations. The Home Guard formations had been built up since the world was reclaimed by the Confederation and built up around CCAF retiree's who were given land grants on the planet and as such was not only better equipped than most similar Home Guard formations but also had a hard core of veterans around the formations. Against a March Militia formation 10 years ago this would have given them a decent chance of defending the planet or at least holding out for some time. However the modern day March Militia's had been reequipped with cast offs from more prestigious regiments which had been largely replaced with brand new equipment, and indeed in a many cases the March Militia's had been the recipient of a fair amount of modern equipment either rebuilt or even new construction. Having suffered losses in the reprisal raids of 3063 and been brought up to strength in the last 5 years the Valexa CMM had more than it's fair share of new equipment and now used that tech advantage to their benefit.

Facing a much better equipped opponent with more recent battlefield experience even the better than average Home Guard on Remshield found itself swiftly outclassed. The Valexa CMM hit the Home Guard again and again and didn't relent. Finally around the 28th of December the Home Guard formations were forced to break up into smaller groups and go to ground in the no doubt vain hope that reinforcements might arrive to save them. The Valexa CMM settled in to root out the remaining Home Guard at their leasure.

Ulan Bator

This world was hit early in December when the Wild Geese followed the fleeing Harloc's Raiders from Second Try. Faced with once again fighting the elite mercenary unit which still outnumbered them massively the Raiders didn't even try to defend the planet before falling back again. This time they decided to fall back deeper into the Confederation and headed straight for Harloc to attempt to reclaim their homeworld from the 2nd St Ives Armoured Cavalry. Leaving Ulan Bator to be occupied by the Wild Geese.

Tsingtao

Leaving the 2nd to hold Sakhalin the 3rd Lexington Combat Guards moved swiftly to secure the world of Tsingtao. Again like at Remshield the world was held only by Home Guard formations which while more fanatical than those at Remshield were worse equipped and trained. In a series of swift battles the mostly infantry formations were routed and destroyed by the 3rd Lexington Combat Guards within 2 weeks, although the unit dropped to around only 2 battalions of battlemech's during the fighting.

Palos

The arrival of the 5th Dragonlord RCT added a huge amount of firepower to the existing AFFS presence upon Palos, although the 5th was a newly raised formation that was still considered green by the High Command. However the risk to the unit under the careful eyes of the elite 1st Kestrel Grenadiers and veteran 1st Lexington Combat Guard was considered slight. Rather than give the Dragonlords their own sectors the 2 more senior units temporarily absorb the 5th into their own ranks as back up for their own battle hardened troops. Lance and Company sized formations of Dragonlords march into battle alongside the Grenadiers and Combat Guards and continue the relentless drive to destroy the Dynasty Guards, while the large formations of battle armoured troops of the 5th are used to bolster the Grenadier's own large scale battle armour formations in the heavy urban fighting.

The Dynasty Guards put up a good fight, but in previous battles they have already been reduced to around a battalion and even the addition of the local Home Guard does little to provide much in the way of effectiveness. Worse the AFFS troops have adapted their tactics and are now making it a particular point to knock out any Dynasty Guard troops, tanks or battlemech's that show themselves in preference to their militia allies. Every lost Guardsman or woman cannot be replaced. While the Guard do manage to use this to their advantage on a number of occasions by having Home Guard formations appear as Guards, there is little scope for this given the poor equipment and training of the Home Guard compared to the "real" Guard.

Outnumbered heavily against 3 almost full strength RCT's the Dynasty Guard can do little during December except sell their lives dearly. Finally on the 29th of December their Home Guard allies break and begin surrendering en-mass when the reality that no help is coming hits home. With their lines shattered and AFFS forces pouring in to isolate the remaining holdouts the Dynasty Guard attempt to fall back on the planetary capital building, but only a company of them make it. With so few defenders left the heroic last stand envisioned fizzles out in an overwhelming attack by 2 battlemech battalions of the 5th Dragonlords backed up by a 8 mixed battalions of armour and battle armour.

Victoria

Similarly to their sister regiment the Dynasty Guard all the Prefectorate Guard could do on Victoria was make a last stand. All hope had by now faded and even the most fanatical of the troops knew that no help could possible arrive in time. Allocating his own 1st Crucis Lancers RCT and the 2nd FedSun's Dragoons RCT to the final attack with the 3rd Dragonlords RCT in support Marshal Rand-Davion orders the attack on the 11th of December. The engineering elements of the 3 regiments are all detached in preparation for the attack and are even reinforced by engineers from the 11th Avalon Hussars. After 2 days of brutal tunnel fighting the AFFS units have managed to drive the remaining Capellan's into a few small isolated chambers within the factory complex - which they promptly collapse on top of the last holdouts. Delaying until the 11th to launch the attack had allowed the Davion engineers to carefully map out the remaining tunnels and prepare charges to bring down a number of Capellan held areas's roofs. Most of the CCAF troops die in the cave in, however Marshal Rand-Davion orders that the engineers begin digging out any survivors that they can. No soldier deserves to die alone in the dark he tells his troops and soon volunteers from all of the AFFS formations on planet are digging out the few Capellan's who have not been crushed.

Madras

The Sirdar CMM is brought forward to attack the world of Madras in late December. On the 23rd of December the AFFS March Militia lands on the planet, just in time to receive the surrender of the garrison and planetary ruler. With word having leaked out that no fewer than half the Capellan Hussar Brigade has been destroyed and word coming through forbidden news sources of the CCAF facing defeat on almost every front the local Duke is under no illusions as to the likelihood of his world being able to hold out even against a second line formation like the Sirdar CMM.

Summary

This combined "demi-wave" has resulted in only 4 new worlds falling to the Federated Sun's, however it has also included the loss of both Victoria and Palos which had been hit in previous waves. Worse the 2 of the 4 worlds which had fell had done so with barely a shot fired, while the other worlds Home Guard had put up only ineffectual and short lived resistance. To both the High Command on New Avalon and to the Strategios on Sian the implications were clear. The CCAF had been stretched to breaking point and the outer shell of resistance had now been cracked. While a number of "fortress" worlds such as Sarna and Capella were being prepared to resist the invasions the CCAF was no longer able to contest the AFFS's attacks on a broad front. All that had potentially stopped dozens of worlds falling to the AFFS in December had been their own halt to refit their equipment, rest their troops and extend their supply lines. When, and it was a "when" not an "if", Victor Davion launched a third full wave the results were likely to be catastrophic for the Confederation.

Worse when the Marshigama’s Legionnaires were ordered from Drozan to take up post on Housekarle in order to prevent or delay a drive from Operation Rat III towards Sian they instead relocated to the Andurien Commonality and offered their services to Duke Baxter. The message to the Strategios was clear, morale was now collapsing within the CCAF even in units that had not yet been fed into the meat grinder. Ion Rush and Talon Zahn requested a meeting with the Chancellor in order to explain the reality of the strategic situation to him. While neither man had so much as whispered the word surrender in their request the Chancellor responded with rage and refused to see both of them. Neither man was arrested or removed, but their once free access to the Chancellor was now gone.

[Chris OFarrell]

Welp I hope the soldiers of Marshigama’s Legionnaires are ready for the consequences. Even when the Capellan Confederation is having 'happy' days, that kind of out and out disobeying direct orders generally results in your family being very publicly conscripted into servitor infantry battalions with the honor of going in against Davion Devil mechs with rifles and orders to not take one step back!

And that's if you're lucky and they're not just all lined up against the wall and shot one by one, with the footage sent priority HPG to said soliders.

If they're lucky, their families are on a world that has already fallen to the Davions.

In any event, running from one part of the Capellan Confederation to the other only delays the inevitable. And if Baxter declares independence, then he paints a giant target on his back anyway. So good luck with that!

That Dragonlords attack was also hilarious. A company of Mechs against 2 Battalions of Mechs + 8 Battalions of Battle Armor with armored support?! The word 'curbstomp' is thrown around an awful lot these days, but...

[Billy Boy Mark II]

A damaged company that's watched it's entire regiment smashed and has been in combat against overwhelming forces on not one but two worlds... To say they would have been at less than full combat strength is an understatement... A company of walking wounded in crippled mechs with almost no ammo and tissue paper armour... Against 2 battalions of almost fresh troops in top of the line mech's backed up by 8 conventional battalions of troops. Ya think the AFFS were sending a message there...? :p

3068 - December - General Update

Even as the AFFS consolidated it's position on the worlds it had seized from the Capellan Confederation the High Command on New Avalon continued to work to raise new regiments and reinforce existing ones with graduating warriors from the academies while also funnelling new machines and equipment to the front. In any given year the Department of Military Education, Department of the Quartermaster and Department of Military Administration always found themselves overstretched during December, but with a full war also taking place they are worked of their feet and end up borrowing staff from other administrative posts in order to stay on top of everything.

The first new units to formally be added to the rolls were the 1st and 2nd Lexington Military Academy Light Combat Teams. Each consists of a LCT style formation, with the cavalry styled 1st forming up on Lexington itself while the more heavy weight 2nd was formed up on the world of Sun Prairie to give additional protection to the factories there. The formation of the 2nd Lexington Military Academy LCT would allow the redeployment of the 9th Avalon Hussars RCT to Glenmora on the Draconis Combine border.

The single RCT sized formation planned for 3068 began forming up during December upon the world of Point Barrow. The return of the Point Barrow CrMM to the active rolls was welcomed with huge celebrations within the Point Barrow Combat Region. While since Prince Victor's return their region had not lacked for battlemech forces - with the 11th FedSun's Dragoons RCT bolstering the 2 training units currently - the fact was that the Regular Army formations which had been assigned to the Combat Region were liable to be called away to more active areas in the event of war. This was unlikely to happen to the Point Barrow CrMM and it gave the area a much greater level of not only security but continuity of defenders that was welcomed.

The AFFS also formed an entirely new Brigade in December the Avalon Borderer's Brigade, formed around the 1st Avalon Borderer's LCT and the 4 units which were to be formed up this month. The 1st would remain at it's posting on the world of Edwards and continue to train there was well as protect the factories on that world. The 2nd Avalon Borderer's LCT would take up a similar posting on the industrial world of Torrence, where it would use the nearby New Avalon Combat Training Centre to improve it's skills. The 3rd Avalon Borderer's LCT would be formed upon the world of Chirikof to protect the command post of the Chirikof Operational Area. The 4th would be formed upon the world of Clovis while the present garrison of the 2nd NAIS Cadre would be moved closer to the border, moving to the world of Mara. The 5th Avalon Borderer's would form up on the world of Benet III where unlike at most postings the current garrison of the 41st Avalon Hussars RCT would remain. The plan was that in the event of war with the Combine the 41st would be freed up for offensive operations while the 5th Avalon Borderer's would remain behind to protect it's base and the factories on the world of Benet III. These deployments would cement in the minds of not only the High Command but also the Avalon Borderer's themselves their role within the AFFS - they would be the reserves, holding key worlds to free up more prestigious units for offensive work. While a few of the new soldiers of the Borderer's would decry these deployments the vast majority realised that this was not only vital work but also work that would allow them to continue to train in relative security in order to later be transferred to commands such as the Avalon Hussars or Crucis Lancers.

The deployment of the 5th Avalon Borderer's LCT to Benet III was mirrored when the newly formed 3rd Tancredi Loyalist LCT was ordered to move to the world of Klathandu IV to back up the 1st Argyle Lancers who had been based on that world since 3063. Whether the 3rd Tancredi was to fufil a similar role to the 5th Borderer's and protect the world if the Argyle Lancers went on the offensive or were instead intended to join the Lancer's in any attack was left open ended for now. It did however merit some note within commentators that this was the first time that a Loyalist LCT had been deployed beyond the confines of the Bryceland PDZ.

Alongside the formation of the Avalon Borderer's Brigade the Tikonov Cossack's were upgraded from a single independent regiment into a demi-brigade during December with the formation of a 2nd Tikonov Cossack's. With the 1st Cossack's deployed to take part in Operation Rat II the 2nd was formed to replace them on the key world of Tikonov. Similar to the 1st the new unit would be largely a cavalry formation, however with a slightly heavier weight of battlemechs taking particular advantage of the new Tikonov produced Koschei. Unlike most of the new units the 2nd Cossack's would be massively under strength and would be added to the rolls while only at around half strength.

Similarly the 1st Bromhead Borderer's Cadre would be added to the rolls with the plan being that it would slowly expand until it became an active Borderer regiment. With the progress being made by Operation Rat III a few within the High Command had questioned the need for the Bromhead Borderer's to actually be formed given that the Capellan border was being pushed further and further back from the world. However given the recent problems with the Taurian Concordat and the nearby unsettled space between the Concordat and Canopian space the addition of a permanent Borderer unit is still felt to be worthwhile.

The final command to be formed during December would be the 1st Syrtis Hussars LCT on New Syrtis itself. The battlemechs and equipment used to equip this new unit were entirely sourced and funded by Duke George Hasek in his role as Minister for the Capellan March and Duke of New Syrtis, while the personnel would be drawn exclusively from the cold world of New Syrtis itself. Unlike most Syrtis Fusiliers the new formation is to be equipped with exclusively light and medium cavalry battlemechs and is designed to be a mobile formation that can be used for reconnaissance missions or raiding. They will also have a secondary speciality of arctic fighting due to their background and training at the New Syrtis Training Centre.

As the new formations began to take shape more personnel and equipment was routed to the units which had received damage in the ongoing battles on the Capellan front in order to replace losses. As per what was now standard doctrine the High Command attempted to avoid flooding a unit with newly graduating troops from the training cadres in order to prevent the loss of vital experience. For instance while the High Command had more than enough replacement personnel to bring the 4th Davion Guards RCT back to full strength they instead dispatched only a single company of battlemech mechwarriors with commensurate numbers of conventional personnel in order for the unit to retain it's elite status. A steady flow of replacements push into the former Sarna March and the occupied worlds of the Victoria, Sian and Capellan Commonalities.

In a surprise move the First Prince celebrates Christmas on Tikonov with his new wife at his side. Isis Davion had secretly been rushed from New Avalon to her husband's side in time for Christmas. The Duke of Tikonov places his own winter palace at their disposal and makes a great show of welcoming Isis Davion to his world, commenting on how good it is for families to be together at this time of year - strongly hinting to the First Prince that perhaps elements of the Wild Geese might be re-positioned to the world of Tikonov so that he might see his grandson...

On Demeter the new Lycomb-Davion plant to produce Guillotine class battlemechs for the AFFS and ComGuards goes operation and immedietly begins shipping the popular heavy battlemech to nearby ComGuard's formations and AFFS units. The production allocated to the AFFS is sent predominantly to help the rebuilding of the nearby 1st Aragon Borderer's and to the still forming 1st Bell Borderer's Cadre. Lycomb-Davion also see's their factory on June add an Awesome battlemech production facility this month. They consider whether or not to add an Awesome line to Demeter or a Guillotine line to June to add further redundancy to these 2 designs.

The Davion-Com plant on Defiance adds a Warhammer line to their existing production facilities in December. Far from the front lines this additional line still see's it's production rushed by the ever increasing numbers of jumpships plying Federated Sun's space towards the front lines to bolster not only the AFFS but also the ComGuards.

Corsara Weapon's on Northfield which had entered production in November begins to ship large numbers of Crab battlemech's to the ComGuards and lesser numbers to the AFFS - where they mostly end up in the Draconis March Militia's and Robinson Rangers brigades.

With the additional security provided by the new Point Barrow CrMM GM decides to upgrade their plant on that world by adding a new Blackjack-O line. This news is seen by many within the Outback that the investments in their security can lead to increased investments in their planets industries. As such a number of worlds rulers begin to make active efforts to bolster their militia formations or petitioning to form new units to protect their worlds.

On Torrence the Veridan Dynamic's plant's Pitbull truck lines are doubled to 6. Even with this increase demand is still higher given the huge industrial expansions going on throughout the Federated Suns. Further expansions are planned.

FedBoeing's shipyard over Verde see's the first Cargomaster and Cargoking dropships begin to complete. However the initial dropships will require a few hasty refits after their initial shakedown cruises within the Verde system. This will delay actual production until next month.

Even as the war continues the AFFS contacts various Military-Industrial Companies to discuss the rebuilding of the shattered Victoria based Shengli Arms facility. GM and Kallon both declare interest in buying the remnants of the facility to put it back into production, as does Johnston Industries. Bids are invited from all 3 companies.

Northwind see's the return of the 1st Kearny Highlanders and the Northwind Hussars from the Andurien front. Both units have taken heavy losses and accept garrison contracts with the AFFS for the world of Northwind to allow themselves to rebuild over time. The Northwind Hussars are somewhat reluctant to accept a contract with the FedSuns however the offer of free medical care for all wounded Northwind Highlanders at the NAIS and other elite hospitals swings them around to accepting the contract. As is the offer that the members of Jaffray's Own who have survived and been reabsorbed into the Highlanders will be granted full pardons - conditional upon them swearing to never take up arms against the Federated Suns or House Davion. While a few speak out against demanding Highlanders give such oaths, most accept that given that they joined the CCAF this is a generous offer from House Davion. "Colonel" Jaffray himself, still in a medical coma, is rushed to the NAIS to receive treatment.

Within the Capellan Confederation fighting comes to Sian itself, but not by any AFFS raid. Instead a company of Death Commando's attempt to take Sang-shao An Shennu of the Red Lancers into custody in a swift operation into the Red Lancers barracks. The Red Lancers's commanding officer is the daughter of the traitor Duke of Larsha and as such leaving her in command of the largest and most effective military formation on Sian is felt to be ill advised. Unfortunately for the plans to take her into custody quietly, a Red Lancer company returning from a training exercise see the Death Commando's arresting their commanding officer and attempt to free her. In a swift and brutal firefight the Death Commando company is overwhelmed and destroyed by the Red Lancers who at the sound of battle mobilise around them. For a few short hours the Red Lancers are on the verge of being declared traitors and attacked, until cooler heads prevail. Ion Rush himself arrives alone at the barracks of the Red Lancers and convinces them to stand down and for Sang-shao to voluntarily surrender herself into his custody. He gives her his own personal word of honour that she will not be mistreated. This incident does however leave the Red Lancers with a strong aversion to the Death Commando's and costs both units almost a company each of warriors who were killed in the aborted battle.

Duke Baxter during December petitions the Chancellor for the worlds of Sax, Principia, Niomede and Shiba all of which were historically worlds of the Andurien Commonality to be returned to his newly reclaimed Commonality. Sian makes no reply. They do however instruct the 1st and 2nd Capellan Chargers to head towards the Federated Sun's front and take up posts Wright and Nihal in preparations to retake Grand Base.

Sian also announces the formation of the 10th, 11th and 12th Sian Dragoons all on Sian. All 3 regiments are a mix of military graduates and Home Guard formations many of which are still equipped with their original equipment. All of the new formations are under strength and their officers mostly walking wounded from destroyed commands or retired veterans recalled to the colours. Sian's holo-news channels however point out that this brings the garrison of the world to an invincible 5 regiments of patriots bolstered by the Chancellor's own Death Commandos!

The Lyran Alliance-Free World League frontier see's the LAAF send the 10th Lyran Regulars to the world of Epsilon, the 7th Donegal Guards to Nestor, 7th Lyran Regulars to Nockatunga and the 2nd Donegal Guards to Promised Land - all for "security reasons" and to "ensure the security of the worlds in question". All factions within the fractured League decried the move as a blatant land grab.

The Duchy of Tamarind in particular is extremely concerned by these aggressive moves towards their frontier by the LAAF and immedietly announce the formation of the 1st and 2nd Tamarind Militia to counter this aggression and bolster their defenders. The Silver Hawks Coalition, also threatened by the seizure of Nestor announce that they too will add a new regiment to their active formations. The Eagle regiment is formed from militia drawn from the various worlds of the Coalition.

Coordinator Theodore Kurita arranges to meet with the First Prince Victor Davion at Lockdale. Both rulers will be entitled to bring a large escort to ensure their safety to the meeting which is scheduled to take place on the 24th January 3069.

[cawest]

it could be a Rocking New Year.   >:D

[Generalstoner]

I think one of the next brigades given consideration for reformation should be the Arcadian cuirassiers.  They were a small 2 regiment brigade which served from their home world of Demeter and lasted into 2nd succession war.  Perhaps reform them as the An Arcadian Borderers regiment?

[Chris OFarrell]

Interesting, but why in the hell is Peter making waves on the FWL border right now? It doesn't gain him very much at all and just raises tensions considerably for no real purpose...

[hpackrat]

You assume that it's Peter & not one of his dukes or generals messing around. There's also the WoB infiltrators to consider. They might have messed around with the orders.

[Chris OFarrell]

Honestly, that kind of 'oh it must have been one of the Dukes!' gets really old really quickly. Peter is more than strong enough now in his position that if anyone launched an unauthorized offensive into the FWL (and somehow he didn't find out before it went off which seems equally unlikely), he would be able to publicly rebuke them and order the troops back, with an apology to the FWL.

Multiple planets being attacked though is a lot more than one Duke making a play, thats a movement that could only realistically be sanctioned by Tharkad.

[Billy Boy Mark II]

Interesting, but why in the hell is Peter making waves on the FWL border right now? It doesn't gain him very much at all and just raises tensions considerably for no real purpose...

Peter is more than aware that right now a a large chunk of the Lyran nation are looking at the Federated Suns and thinking - "maybe we made a mistake...".

His brothers conquered "half the Capellan Confederation" and is "Hanse reborn" according to some... Peter managed to repel the Jade Falcons (nothing to be sneered at) but it isn't in the same league. He's looking for a few cheap gains to bolster his popularity. He's not intending any major invasion - just picking of some low lying fruit as it were. It's a PR stunt more than a genuine military invasion.

[Adventwolf]

Well Victor is going to have to make a choice now stay true to his word and swing his forces to Terra or tell ComStar to hold off the attack while the war is on and he builds up more ships and resources. The second is is the smart choice but it depends on ComStar agreeing and not just going off on their own. The WoB is rebuilding the defenses in the Sol system but no one knows that because scouts and spies haven't been sent in to check.

[PsihoKekec]

There is no way FS can commit to assult on Terra now, it will have to wait until AFFS recovers from the Capellan war.

[Chris OFarrell]

I duno, I actually think they could pull it off.

First, they've been building units non stop now and up-teching them non stop for so long that the strictly defensive units they have on the borders and backstopping key worlds are pretty damn considerable. The Combine Border is the only really dangerous border and even then, the Combine have their own problems, what with the Clans still waiting out there and the Truce timeline now over, meaning the Clans can attack anytime they want...

Secondly, the ComGuards are providing the bulk of the ground forces. Victor promised I think 20RCTs, but if Peter provides his troops too, even if Victor has to cut back to 15RCTs or 12RCTs, its still a pretty bloody overwhelming force. The Federated Suns even has the opportunity now with the new Capellan worlds, to quietly start building forward logistics bases, ostensibly to support the ongoing attacks, but far enough 'back' no attempt at an Operation Ripooste II could be made...which would put them very close to Terra. There are still a LOT of RCTs that have not been touched in this campaign, the key is going to be how quickly Victor can finish off Sian to be safe in taking a break.

Third, Terra is a hard target, BUT, it's a single target and logistically much easier to support an attack against than an entire Successor State. The key (and biggest help the Federated Suns can do) is orbital supremacy. The FSN has done its job more or less with the Capellans, they don't even really have a 'fleet in being' anymore. Victor can afford to concentrate his fleets heavily into an all out attack into the Terran system on schedule, along with the Comguard fleet and whatever Peter sends. Smash the crap out of the WOB defenses, gain orbital supremacy over a matter of a week or two, then he can withdraw most of his warships back into the Federated Suns (heading back home through the Draconis March as a pointed message to not ****** with him). Then at their leisure with Terra blockaded, you can start landing your troops.

In all honestly, AFFS casualties have been pretty light thus far - and more than offset by the new units being built up and replacements shipped into the damaged units. The overmatch is just that great.

The only real sticking point is how fast Victor can hit Sian and cripple the Confederation as a coordinated state. He can even afford to take his foot off their throat if they have both their legs broken, walk over to smash the WOB, then turn back to finish off the Confederation at his leisure. Just make sure you have a solid stop line and you eliminate any last reaction forces that might cause trouble and don't over-extend.

I duno, I actually think they could pull it off.

First, they've been building units non stop now and up-teching them non stop for so long that the strictly defensive units they have on the borders and backstopping key worlds are pretty damn considerable. The Combine Border is the only really dangerous border and even then, the Combine have their own problems, what with the Clans still waiting out there and the Truce timeline now over, meaning the Clans can attack anytime they want...

Secondly, the ComGuards are providing the bulk of the ground forces. Victor promised I think 20RCTs, but if Peter provides his troops too, even if Victor has to cut back to 15RCTs or 12RCTs, its still a pretty bloody overwhelming force. The Federated Suns even has the opportunity now with the new Capellan worlds, to quietly start building forward logistics bases, ostensibly to support the ongoing attacks, but far enough 'back' no attempt at an Operation Ripooste II could be made...which would put them very close to Terra. There are still a LOT of RCTs that have not been touched in this campaign, the key is going to be how quickly Victor can finish off Sian to be safe in taking a break.

No I also thought that the units assigned for the Terra attack had not been used but a lot have been used in the war. The OP said this on AH "A lot of the troops have been deployed - for instance the Davion Assault Guards, Kestrel Grenadiers, etc... But there is still a solid core of troops that could be used to attack terra. If Victor agrees to commit them - but they are his last reserves frankly." Which means Victor has used up the build-up in his war with only a much smaller core left that he wants to use in the current war as his reserve.

[Chris OFarrell]

Eh?

Victor doesn't NEED to use those units for the Terran attack, he can easily substitute others in.

I'll grant you Victor has thrown a lot of force at the Confederation, something on the order of 35 or so RCTs, 15 independent regiments and 10 or so Merc units. Which in 3025 would be a HUGE amount of the AFFS's force...

But this isn't 3025.

Keeping in mind I think I'm underrating the units that have been brought online as a whole heap have been stood up since the last OOB post;

RCT Brigades;
24 Avalon Hussar RCTs. 6 Committed.
8 Crucis Lancers RCTs. 3 committed.
8 Dragonlord RCTs. 3 committed.
9 FedSuns Dragoons RCTs. 3 committed.
6 Sytris Dragoons RCTs. 5 committed (although honestly they are going to be involved anyway and staying put so it makes sense).
6 Robinson Rangers RCTs. 1 committed (although that's probably as much a political gesture by Sandoval to Hasek and Victor).
10 Davion Guards RCTs. 6 committed.
6 Deneb Light Calvary RCTs. 2 committed.
6 DragonLords RCTs. 3 committed.
3 Ceti Hussar's RCTs. 1 committed.

Independent RCTs;
1st Kathil Uhlan's RCT
1st Revenant Guards RCT

Independent Regiment Brigades;
9 Borderer Brigade Regiments, 2 committed.
3 Lexington Combat Guards Units, 3 Committed
3 FSAC, 3 Committed
Note- these are the only two Brigade sized forces that committed all their units to the war.

Independent Units;
1st Capellan Dragoons
1st Tikonov Cossack's
1st Sheraton Knights
Sun Jaguars Golden Keshik
1st Sun Jaguars Guards Cluster

March Militia Units;
Valexa CMM
Sirdar CMM

Merc Units;
Vegan Ranger's Alpha Regiment
1st Illician Lancers
2nd Illician Lancers
3rd Illician Lancers
4th Illician Lancers
1st Cunningham Commandos
Hansen's Roughriders
1894th Light Horse
21st Rim Worlds Blue Star Irregulars
Wild Geese

So, we have 35 RCTs, 11 Independent regiments (which are a mixture of forces) and two Clan units. Then 10 Merc units.

The only defensive units committed are the two CMM units. That leaves twenty seven March Militia units around key worlds on the borders. It leaves 15-20 Merc units still in reserve, many of which are multi-regimental formations. It leaves all the training units, organized as LCTs spread out across the Suns that, are granted, pretty green, but well equipped and if attached to other units, perfectly well suited for defensive work. It doesn't include the bulk of the Sun Jaguars forces that are probably going to get blueballs if they don't find someone to go and beat up like their Khan is (don't want to even think of how much shouting she had to do to lay down the law on who got to go with her and smash crappies heads in in a REAL war - and who got to stay at home...). It doesn't include plenty of other independent commands still running around the Federated Suns. The Chisholm Raiders RCTs are untouched....

The Federated Suns has something North of 80 RCTs (could be a 100 if the March Milita units are organized as RCTs frankly).

Worse, the sheer overwhelming force Victor has smashed the CCAF, knocking out almost all their major mobile units and strategic reserves like the Big MAC, Warrior Houses and knocking off most of their warships, means that whats left are huddling onto a smaller and smaller number of planets. Even worse, Victors units (for the most part) have had a pretty damn easy time of it. So much so that Victor has already started to ship reinforcements to his units and rebuild them! In the field! He could easily chop half of his ground units out of the loop in favor of just leaving garrison infantry and armored units, sending the Mech and Aerospace units to Terra where they will be far more useful.
In short, if Victor wants to still commit to Terra, he has MORE than enough reserves to do so while holding his borders. The Concordant is neutralized as a strategic threat of any kind and is pretty clearly in its death throes. The Periphery regions are able to more than look after themselves now with the pirate threat crushed and enough local milita units able to easily crush any leftovers too stupid to find somewhere else to hit. There are still plenty of march milita units on key worlds blocking any deep strikes. The Draconis March is still very well defended based on deployments, with five of the six Robinson Rangers present and plenty of other units around in depth. The Combine OTOH has at least three, if not four, other powers to really worry about on its border meaning that the force Theodore might be able to commit if he thought for some crazy reason it was a good idea to poke Victor, would be frankly, insufficient to do more than take a couple of border planets if he was very lucky. If he is hoping to try and intimidate Victor with this meeting, he's really walking an incredibly dangerous line...

IMHO, Victor could easily pull back 10-15 of his RCTs now that he has crushed the Capellans mobile forces, they are overkill. Replace them with 5-6 fresh RCTs from his reserves, while sending those 10-15 units up to the Terran Regions. Officially, to rest and rebuild in peace (and perhaps give poor Sun Tzu a pathetic ray of hope that Victor is sending a message that he is willing to end this war at some cost??!!). Also seemingly sending a message to Teddy that just because Victor is fighting the Confederation, he can drop 15 RCTs into Dieron if you do anything stupid. And the WOB not having a clue, hopefully, that they are about to get sealed hand-delivered orders after they have arrived and had a month or two to rest and rebuild (material losses are frankly irrelevent given the AFFs's factories now!), that they are going for the Homeworld...

The even better news is that, as noted at the start of this war, the Federated Suns has a whole load of new naval construction about to finish. So you can very quickly move those ships in a shakedown cruise to the Confederation and still keep hunting for the handful of warships Sun Tzu has left, then release the veteran ships again to head North (with some clever MIIO misdirection with changed names and transponders from other ships showing them perhaps heading in a different direction??) via uninhabited but picketed systems, quickly, to place them at a jump off point to hit Terra on schedule...

The biggest problem is keeping WOB from finding out from agents in ComStar. Best bet might me ComStar and Peter moving units into the upper Sarna March, openly in support of Victors righteous crusade to finally take down the Liao monster. Making it look to the WOB like they are just trying to cash some free PR by getting in on the action in a perfectly safe REMF way...until suddenly everyone jumps to Terra.


Not that I'm trying to tell Billy how to write his incredibly fun story or anything crazy like that!

Just noting that the sheer absurd buildup of the AFFS means that unlike Hanse, Victor has a glut of units he can still move around, especially with his other borders pretty much dead quiet.

Frankly, the only thing limiting his ability to hit Terra at the same time, are his jumpships. They have been improving sure, in terms of their numbers and coverage, but ...
He might have to do what Hanse did and conscript some jumpships - if only for a month or two rather than years!- just to get his strike force into Terra. But its probably more logical to keep the ground forces back for the first waves and just focus on an overwhelming warship invasion. Secure space superiority - then supremacy- for the ComGuards and Peter to hit with multiple armies across Terra and Sol and Victor can send his ground forces into the fight a few months later as fresh troops. His warships are frankly far more critical to the operation than his RCTs, at least in the opening few months.

[marauder648]

Great updates as always and blimey, I didn't quite realise the AFFS had quite that reserve of forces available. The Cappies are pretty much screwed. The Davion's have their boot on their throat and its only a matter of applying pressure, until there's either a Palace coup and Sunny suffers a tragic accident whilst looking at his sword collection or cleaning his pistol. Or, Suns warships enter orbit over Sian and start landing troops. The latter would be a bloody endeavour though.

There's also the Sun Jaguars who would probably openly relish the chance at a fight.

[Seydlitz]

You've listed the Dragonlords Brigade twice, were you referring to a different one with, one with eight RCTs?
