NSN Headquarters, October 21st

"The NSEF reports ready for action, all ships are assembled."

"Excellent! The question is where to attack? Do we go ahead with our plan and strike at the heart of the DEI? Or do we strike boldly before the Gemans can mobilize, straight at Brandenburg? Do we hit their far flung empire? South America? Africa? Do we eliminate Catandunes or secure New Guinea? Or do we releive Keeling? So many targets so little time."

"Admiral, we have plans for Imperial Eagle, Guinea Pig, and Komodo Dragon II."

"Hmmm, perfect! We shall strike...there."

"There?"

"Yes dont you see the beauty? They are a coalition, if we count China and Farinj, thats 5 nations, with 5 religions, 4 languages, 3 cultures, and many different ideas. A strike there will crush the unity of the unHoly Alliance. Its brilliant, it will destroy the enmies will to fight. There and there only will we strike..."

Phoenix Daily Star, October 22nd

News have arrived of a tremendous battle of the island of Tarakan. A five day battle resulted in the Dutch forces being  crushed in the island. A sortie by the Dutch Battleline was turned back, with half of their battleships crippled. A sortie 2 days later by light forces was totaly crushed, with only a light cruiser damaged on the NSN's part.

Timor has fallen, Tarakan has fallen, Java will fall, and then Singapore. The New Switzerland Navy continues its unstoppable march towards victory. For those vultures who have just joined, beware the Sword of Inevitable Justice shall fall upon you.

A German blockade of Port Moresby? Don't make us laugh. The High Seas Fleet has departed Phoenix with the sole intent of sweeping this pests into the box of extinction.

Do not despair New Switzerland for even as the enemy knocks at our doors, the Lord Our Good will Fight for us!

To Victory!

QuoteRaid by Swiss SAF produces great display of fireworks, as they manage to set an ammo dump on fire. Night patrols by AFL, police and vigilanttes intensified.

What? Dont blame me. It had to be the Smoking Filipinos.  ;D

Heh, you can't blame it on me, Scharnhorst left port on the afternoon of the 28th.  ;D

Phoenix Daily Star, November 1st

Has Hong Kong, Shangai, and Indochina not satisfied the lust for blood of the Chinese? Must they also attack Taiwan and Hainan? Must they subjugate a people who wants to be free? Justice were are thou? Where are the results of the 'Peace' Fleet? Who will be next to suffer under the bloodthirsty Chinese? This time the Chinese shall feel the wrath of God. The seas of China will run red with the blood of their dead.

A sortie by the Dutch Battleline was turned back, with half of their battleships crippled. A sortie 2 days later by light forces was totaly crushed, with only a light cruiser damaged on the NSN's part.

So the New Switserland has lost most of their battleline, several crusiers and cost defence battleships, more then a thousand marines and several transports and AMCs to capture a useless Swamp.

And the NOI fleet is still concetrated and stronger then ever!

Your losses haven't been light either, and you have lost an important base with oilfields. There is a method to my madness.

Zeppelin Base Taiwan, Dawn November 1st

"Sir, we've lost comunications!"

"What? Get me some coffee will ya. What the..."

"Sorry to barge in like this Commander, but there has been a change of plans. You will now answer to me, and no one is to leave the base without my direct permission. Get you two Zeppelins ready as soon as possible but do it quietly. They must be ready to leave by nightfall, and pay no attention to the 'civilians' roaming around."

"Who...who are you?"

"My name is not important, it is sufficient to say that I'm SSS. Your orders are in this folder. Oh and one last thing, two trucks will arrive later today. Keep your men as far away from them as possible. That is all, good day Commander."

Ominouss Silence...

All appeared calm at Zepplein Base Taiwan, but something was definately wrong.

1st November, All Saints Day, Viraca Garrison Church

Meine Herren, With no news from the Iberians about the Flottille sent to attack Tarakan, I believe that we can add Fregatten-Leutnant San ... he'd prefer it the other way around - where was I? Oh, yes, we should add Fregatten-Leutnant Csepel Sandor to our prayers for those no longer with us.

Sad aint it? Losing an entire flotillla.

November 2nd

Taipei Avenged! Three destroyers caught and suprised by some dozen Austrian warships turned the tables on their attackers and in fifteen minutes of frantic night action, crushed the infidel Austrians! Those that survived to fight the next day where run down and destroyed. Not one survived to fight another day. All for the loss of one Fritz destroyer and another damaged.

Borys

Firanj joining depends alot on who seems to be winning, Thrawn is not going to join a 'losing' side.

Emperor Thrawn isn't that interested in coorperating with Infidels.
