Europe is in my hands
@Metalic AAD stands for Air Assault division

[Rayburn]

All right, lads. Now that we're over with the formal part, let's get back to work. First of all, I'd like to hear a sit-rep.
Who is on our side, what are their names and ranks and which units are under their command? Where are they located and what's their status?

[Jazzie Spurs]

---74th Leopard division---
Commander: Volen Metalic
Status: Building and defending the airfield.
Localitation: Somewhere in Germany.
-------------------------------------------------
---24th Tiger AAD---
Commander: -Drag-
Status: Idle
Localitation: Somewhere in Germany.
-------------------------------------------------
---33th Manticore Division---
Commander: None
Status: Waiting
Localitation: Paris, Italy.
-------------------------------------------------
---Red Fénix---
Commander: None
Status: Fighting in Berlin.
Localitation: Berlin, Germany.
-------------------------------------------------

[Rayburn]

Thanks, Major. However, I do believe you mean Paris FRANCE, not Italy.
Okay, let's get working. We currently have two objectives to take care of:
1st - Stop the Russian advance in Berlin
2nd - Restore the chain of command

Here's the plan.
Major Kid, assume command of the 33rd Manticores and mobilise them ASAP. Have them move to Berlin to help out the Red Fénix. We must hold that city at all cost. Intel indicates that the Russians are advancing on a rather small front with overstretched supply lines. This is where Drag and the 24th Tiger ADD come into play: Have the Tigers cut off the Russian supply lines east of Berlin and patrol the area to make sure that the enemy troops in the city receive zero reinforcements. With the help of Major Kid, the Red Fénix will be able to trap the Russians in Berlin and break the spearhead of their advance. Metalic, your tanks will stay at the airfield and defend it until the Americans arrive. Once we have their air support, they will take out the Russian forces in the north west of Poland. As soon as that happens, the 74th Leopard division will move east and push our defensive perimeter towards the German-Polish border. That way, we should be able to stop their advance, stall them until the rest of our troops is combat ready and then send these hellhounds back to Moscow.

General Rayburn, on the air field there are the first air power from General Swimmer, so it will help us the defending the Berlin and we will wait to General Krieger's aircraft. We will do our duty.
And for information, in the 74th division is 8 Leopards (5 are elites, 3 are trained to experienced) and 3 Manticores. Major Kid, can u send me 2 Leopards to fill the status before I lost half of my men?

Breaking News: March 27, 2019; US Forces Arrive in Europe
In response to the Russian invasion of Eastern Europe last week, US forces have been deployed to Europe in order to aid in the defence and counterattack. Although US troops are currently active throughout Asia in order to deal with the threats posed by the GLA and China, Atlantic carrier groups have been deployed from their home base in Norfolk, Virginia and the US Army Seventh division has been deployed to Germany, and US bombers and cruise missiles have already been attacking Russian infrastructure. The US President, in a meeting with the heads of state of Israel and India, has condemned the Russian invasion of Poland as "despicable." Many are suggesting that this, along with the conflict throughout Asia that began last year, heralds the beginning of a new world war.

Operation Orient Express:
US troops will land in Ukraine/Caucasus to seize oil fields in southern Russia and relieve pressure from forces in central Europe.

Operation Rising Eagle:
US airstrikes on Siberian industrial sites and eastern ports.

Operation Iron Storm:
The US 7th Army and 1st Infantry and Armored Divisions shall reinforce ECA forces along the German/Polish border. The 7th Army will be aided by US Aircraft at Lakenheath, Ramstein, Aviano, etc. as well as a carrier group in the Mediterranean.

10-4 Movilizing now. Expect us there in 1/2 days.

[Rayburn]

Now let's hope our troops in Berlin can hold out until the reinforcements arrive. Latest reports indicate that the Russian advance has reached Berlin-Lichtenberg. Our troops are running low on ammo and it's possible that the enemy will have reached the city centre before the 33rd Manticores arrive. There's also disturbing reports of Russian VDV-troops landing on the Wannsee-island in the south west of Berlin. If they manage to establish a foothold, our main supply corridor is in danger. We need that island as well as the two bridges leading from it but the Red Fenix cannot withdraw any troops from the city. General Krieger; can your troops help us hold the island?

[Rayburn]

(Side note: This is getting interestingly deep. If I find the time and will tomorrow, I might make a little map that shows the current locations of all troops )

We now have confirmation that the Wannsee-Island is under control of the Russians, I say again, Wannsee is under Russian control. ECA scouts report that enemy sapper-teams are rigging up the two bridges leading from the island. They'll destroy these bridges at the slightest sign of approaching armour, so our Berlin-troops are cut off from heavy reinforcements from that route. General Swimmer, you might be the best person to help us out here. Could you send in the 29th Spec Ops to eliminate these VDV-troops holding the bridges? As soon as the path is clear, I can send additional ECA-troops which have been mobilised from our reserve. If you wish, they can help your troops throw the Russians off the island.

Deadly Efficient
Ha, the 29th killed every living thing on the island. Feel free to move your forces in. The 29th just blew through several hours ago.
~Swimmer

[Rayburn]

Thanks a lot, General Swimmer. Your troops may stand down for a moment. Our reserves will soon establish defensive positions along the bridges to make sure they don't fall into enemy hands again. Good job, I'm sure this left General Orlov a bit upset. Until Major Kid's Manticores arrive, all troops will be assigned to hold the line. No new orders for the moment.

Metalic, what's the status of your airfield? Are you ready to launch the heavy transport planes to paradrop some supplies for our troops in Berlin?

Drag, please confirm that your Tigers are ready to engage the enemy supply line when Major Kid has reached the city.

Yes Major, it will be ready until one hour.

General Rayburn, I sending your men two planes to paradrop a maximum of supplies. And general, can I ride to the Berlin to reinforce u?

[Rayburn]

Granted. Additional ECA-reserves are en route to reinforce your airfield. As soon as they arrive - which will be shortly - your Leopards move east. You will hold a few kilometres north of Berlin. As soon as the 33rd Manticores have reinforced our troops, your Leopards will break out of the city and sweep into the enemy supply line from the north. At the same time, Drag's Tiger squadron will hit the enemy from the south. If we succeed, Ivan's primary supply route will be cut off and his troops will be trapped in Berlin where Major Kid can finish them off. Here's the plan:

[Jazzie Spurs]

Expect us at 1:45 AM of the Saturday. We'll attack at your order General Rayburn.

[Rayburn]

Confirmed. I'm off for today. The operation will start shortly after the arrival of Major Kid. As for now, rest well, lads. It'll be a tough day.

[Jok3r]

All my CAS aircraft are on standby, and my artillery and Carrier groups are waiting for an order. The CAS aircraft can wait, but, shall my artillery begin shelling targets now, to soften them up?
~Swimmer

[V.Metalic]

The 74th Leopard division will wait on the north of the Berlin to your order, General Rayburn.

I'd like to take command of any of those units.
In other notes:
March 28, 2019: US & ECA combined forces battle Russians in Berlin:

Detachments from the US 7th Army are driving Russian troops from Brandenburg; Strike aircraft have a heavy toll on Russian armored divisions as Allied forces repel the Russian invaders from Berlin.


US & ECA forces storm Berlin airport to secure a landing zone for further reinforcements.


The USS Carl Vinson and the French Charles de Gaulle and Richelieu serve as the carriers in the Mediterranean, sending air support to US and ECA forces in the region. The USS Gerald R. Ford and the HMS Queen Elizabeth serve as the main carriers in the North Atlantic.

All US Mechanized Divisions in Germany are ready and accounted for; preparations for assault on Berlin complete and all we need is the go order. The US 3rd Army should be arriving in the next few hours.

Today, the 33rd Manticore Division under the command of Major Kid has reached Berlin at 0200. They have reinforced the Red Fénix troops who have now defended the city for more than a weak. Our latest intel reports indicate that the Russian advance has slowed down due to the arrival of the Manticores. Unfortunately, they have already pushed deep into the city centre as they're already in sight of the Brandenburg Gate...

This ends now.

Major Kid; the Red Fénix will be merged with the 33rd Manticore Division which will put them under your command. This should make it easier for us to organise further actions and reinforce the RF who have taken major casualties out there. Your orders will be simple: Hold the line. The Russians must not advance any further if we want our plan to succeed.

Metalic; I see your Leopards have reached their designated grid north of Berlin.
Have them move east and then south to flank the Russians and cut off their primary supply line into the city.
Drag; your orders are similar. Your Tigers are stationed south of the city and as soon as we get going, you will order them to move east, then north to hit the Russian supply corridor. If everything works out, you will arrive at the same time as Metalic's Leopards. As soon as the line is cut, you will immediately establish a defensive perimeter and prevent the Russians from re-establishing contact with their troops who will now be trapped in Berlin.

To prevent an enemy flanking manoeuvre, General Krieger and General Swimmer will provide air-, arty- and armour-support along the sides of our defences. That way, our line should be too broad for the enemy to quickly flank us. They will have to stop their advance which will make them sitting ducks for a massive airstrike from our carriers. After that, Major Kid should be able to drive the last enemies out of Berlin.

The operation starts now. Good luck and Godspeed, this'll be a long day, lads.
