Allied Armies Still Supplied from Jinlian
February 3346

Since the Zardic navy has begun a campaign of sinking Indralan supply ships in order to strangle the occupation forces, the armies fighting in the colonies have been running dangerously low on materiel. One major source of supplies does, nevertheless, remain. The Indralan colony of Jinlian/Kimlien, which was spared the Zardic bombing campaign, continues to produce ammunition for the occupation armies, albeit in much reduced quantity. The Indralan High Command decided to strengthen the colony's defenses, in order to prevent the destruction of its military capabilities by Zardugal.

Pleasure Battalion to Offer Comfort to Allied Soldiers
6th month of the 6th year of the Xin Era (June 3346)



Proving her full commitment to the well being of the brave allied soldiers fighting off Zardic imperialism in the colonies, the Great Empire of Indrala has created the Pleasure Battalion to provide comfort to the soldiers, and remind them of their wives and lovers waiting for them at home. The Pleasure Battalion is formed of volunteers from Jinlian and the liberated territories, and the women of the Battalion have been trained to sing traditional Indralan songs and to offer entertainment and pleasure to our brave men. The Pleasure Battalion will also dispel any unfounded rumors coming from the barbarians that the allied forces engage in raping colonial women.

Colonies in Dovani Fully Liberated
9th month of the 6th year of the Xin Era (September 3346)

The lands unjustly oppressed by the Zardic devils on the mainland of Dovani have been entirely liberated by the forces of Indrala, the Brotherhood, Kalopia, and the Barmenian Crusaders. The former colonials now know the light of freedom, and the power to pursue their own destiny, under the protection of Indrala.

Several of the locals, however, influenced by Zardic bribes and lies, have taken arms against their liberators. Committing acts of sabotage and terrorism, they prove their traitorous and untrustworthy nature. The monks of the Order of the Blue Lotus were assigned to seek out and eliminate this threat to Dovani freedom and independence.

OOC: You were expecting us to bitch about you killing the saboteurs, right? We'll keep quiet, because technically they are illegal combatants.
Massive air campaign against Jinlian
The Air Force of Zardugal has temporarily suspended its air campaign against Indrala itself, letting the navy do the job of blocking supply lines. It has now shifted its resources to Jinlian, which was previously targeted by only very minor raids. It was the largest one-night bombing conducted by the Zardic Air Force in its history in terms of the amount of munitions dropped. While the cost was heavy, it was alleviated by the fact that Indralan commanders had just begun to prepare additional defences.

Report on hospital bombing released
The Zardic Defence and Justice Ministries have released their final report on the bombing of an Indralan hospital by Zardic forces. It stated that:

The pilot is in no way responsible for this incident; he will be returned to service immediately. The incident was caused by an electrical fault as a result of faulty wiring. However, even though the command to fire was given, the missile should not have fired without being locked onto a target due to some safety mechanisms that Zardic Fire-Sword Industries (ZFS) assured us were fully operational. However, they failed to disclose to the government that this safety mechanism had a high failure rate during testing. The missile has thus been grounded permanently until this problem can be rectified. This committee also recommends legal action against ZFS.

The Attorney-General has begun a lawsuit against ZFS, saying that it deceived the government intentionally by refusing to disclose the problems with the safety mechanism. If the government wins this case, as most believe likely, ZFS could possibly be fined several hundred million Zardic dollars. The government has also terminated all contracts with ZFS.

OOC: I was actually expecting you to complain about the "unfounded rumors coming from the barbarians that the allied forces engage in raping colonial women" part, to be honest.

Dorvish Armed Forces launch surprise attack on Indrala.

Haldor, DAP - In breaking news, reports are coming from the nation of Indrala that Dorvish warships have begun a fierce salvo of missiles and air attacks on military and government installations of Indrala. We take you live to a press conference with the Chief of Staff of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Dorvik:

Colonel-General of the Dorvish Army and Chief of Staff of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Dorvik, Urs Maas.
"It was decided that the best course of action was to intervene in the Imperialist actions which were being conducted by Indrala. Felix Bohm, our President asked what were the chances that we could defeat the Indralans, and I stated that there was a high chance of success. As we speak, he is delivering a surely impassioned speech to the Federal Assembly about the need to promote democracy and freedom throughout the world. I stand side-by-side with him in that declaration. To ensure the highest probability of success, High Admiral Boyko Zhivkov is has taken Carrier Battlegroup "Petrov" to assault Indrala and the transportation of our troops shall arrive in Indrala within the day. Ladies and Gentlemen, citizens of Dorvik...we stand at the cusp of being able to deal a blow to tyranny and autocracy in the world. We ensure your saftey. Thank you, no further questions."

It seems that Dorvik has already declared war, our correspondents at the Federal Assembly seem to confirm that President Felix Bohm has indeed asked for a declaration of war and it has unanimous support of the party. Dorvik is now at war. We will be reporting to you from the front as soon as we can dispatch correspondents to Indrala...until then....Heil Dorvischland!

OOC: My first post about the invasion will come soon, those two posts will be concurrent thus this would be happening at the same time as a battle post.

Operation Tiger launched.

Coastal Indrala - Under the command of High Admiral Boyko Zhivkov the combined arms of the Dorvish Army, Navy and Air Force have launched short, mid and long range attacks on military and government installations across Indrala. Carrier Battle Group "Petrov", under direct command of the High Admiral himself is responsible for capturing and ensuring the compliance of the Han and Jiaozhi provinces. Carrier Battle Group "Mihaylov" under command of Admiral Hildebert Jaeger is responsible for the Shu and Anle provinces and their compliance. The Dorvish Northern Fleet, the largest contingent of Dorvish ships near Indrala has the task of handling the Min province along with the Dalibor and Jinlian special administrative territories.

High Admiral Zhivkov suggested to war correspondents that within the first few days of the invasion that landings would establish spearheads and permit larger scale landings. When Zhivkov was asked about the size of the Indralan force he gave respect to the enemy, admiring their history and their fierce reputation as warriors. Zhivkov did mention however that the reserve forces would be much less capable to handle the full force of the Dorvish military. Reports coming from various sources cite that the Dorvish Foreign Intelligence Service has been arming those who are siding with the Dorvish invasion forces.
