War of the Coalitions - Rutania - 4194

OOC: Rules & Schedule

OOC: It looks as though the Rutanian Civil War RP is set to pass and be a fairly even fight, especially with the Rutania Party holding back at the moment. Once the vote passes (or even as soon as everyone votes), here is what I think should happen in sequential order:

1. The Whigs (as the hard Royalists) make the opening move by executing the assassin on the last evening of their government and attempting a coup in whatever way they would like to do it. Try to seize the Capitol, execute politicians, uprising in another state, etc. - it's all open so long as it doesn't go beyond some sort of opening violence and coup attempt. In order to make it fair and reflect the difficulty of seizing a Capitol, if the Whigs choose to make their opening move by going that route and trying to lock down the Capitol, we will plug it in at 50:50 odds Royalists vs. Republicans and the randomized winner of 2 out of 3 times will remain in control. If they choose to start their coup from any other location, it automatically succeeds in that area and they gain control of that region.

Note: I am still working on the excel speadsheet to calculate the odds for each battle, but be aware that the attitude of the local population will play somewhat of a role - not a huge one, but it will be in the calculations. Keep that in mind when making your moves, especially the opening ones, since it would naturally make life easier operating from a region with a large difference between your support and the enemy's.

Another Note: To reflect the volatile neutrality of the Rutania Party and the mobilization of their militias in Delvar and the Capitol, I think that it's fair that they are given the right to intervene in any activity in those regions with an automatic skew of the odds by 10 toward the side they assist. So, if they joined one side, the odds might move from 50:50 to 60:40. This is good ONLY in Delvar and the Capitol, and ONLY for one time.

2. The Republican Coalition responds. If the Whigs seized the Capitol, they are given the chance to reclaim it at 60:40 odds against them (reflecting the fact that the Whigs won, but still haven't consolidated things yet). Alternatively, they can take the opportunity to automatically establish themselves in another city.

3. At this point, assuming both chose to contest the Capitol, whoever IS NOT in control of it selects a city ONLY in their strongest available region. That would be somewhere in Ardinia for the Royalists and Kragusrov for the Republicans (due to the fact that the Capitol is in Khodor, it is not an option).

4. By now, all other parties should have made RP statements supporting, joining, etc. and the Civil War will be official.

4b. At any time from this point forward, foreign intervention may occur, with an added modifier based upon the level of support, just like a regular party.

4c. Assuming that nothing crazy happens, control of the regions will fall (based upon the election results) as follows:

Royalists: Ardinia, Bozarland

Republicans: Kragusrov, Delvar

Contested: Khodor. Due to its complicated nature, it will be considered contested until one coalition controls both the Capitol and the region (two separate battles).

5. Whichever coalition is not in control of the Capitol will work together and establish and announce their "campaign goals" and six battles to accomplish them. In lieu of an offensive action, it is also possible to use battle slots to "reinforce a region," which has the same defensive modifier (+10) to any battle in that region. These slots can also be used for evil - if roleplayed correctly, taking the time to conduct war crimes against a local population could get rid of pesky local battle modifiers, but also have serious international consequences. It is by winning at least 4 offensive actions, in at least 2 different regions (and no more than 2 in any single region), that you can claim victory for that round, assuming the other coalition doesn't also reach 4. This prevents a coalition from loading up all 6 attacks on the enemy's weakest region and claiming victory. The winner should also try to control the Capitol or have some overwhelming offensive victory/roleplaying reason for declaring victory.

NOTE: It would also be possible to simply wipe out the enemy. Take all the regions they control and their seat of power and it's over.

Movement: May only be from a state you control to a directly adjacent one or by sea/river if credibly roleplayed.

Control of Regions: Win two contested battles or one uncontested battle in the region in a round to control it. Plan how many battle slots you use on that region accordingly; it might take three on one round just to win two.

6. The other coalition will respond the same way, choosing to either defend regions or ignore the other's movement.

NOTE: Each battle will be "fought," but at different odds depending on whether they are contested or not. Not contesting decreases your odds by 10, while contesting them increases by 10 on top of the calculation derived from excel. The trick is that winning a defensive battle doesn't contribute to your goal count. So, if you win 4 battles, but 1 is defensive, you can't claim victory. This forces tactical analysis and prevents a totally defensive war.

7. The results are given.

8. A coalition declares victory, ceasefire negotiations begin, or the war continues. If the war continues, we return to #5, except the other coalition goes first.

Misc:

At any point through all of this, any credible roleplay events are welcome! Whether it be the Rutania Party intervening, suicide bombings, as long as it makes sense and seems credible, it should be fair game!

The calculation modifiers should be done by tomorrow evening and released, so you can get a better idea of what factors into what. Basically, though, most battles should rarely ever have steeper odds than 70:30 on a very bad day. Just use common sense about where the enemy is strongest and plan accordingly.

President Elmer Clark orders rushed execution of Timothy FeinWright then attempts to seize the capitol

Image

On January 31st, the night before the arrival of the new cabinet President Clark called up top generals in the capitol and ordered them to execute Timothy FeinWright by hanging him in public in the capitol. The scene was brutal and horrific as everyday citizens watched him be brutally beaten by the soldiers before hanging him on an oak tree in a city park. President Clark was there himself with his own personal security staff. He was reportedly in the company of Corporate leaders from the Arms industry, Tobacco industry and the several high profile bankers. Reports indicate they seemed to be discussing something very serious but in whispers.

After the last breath left Mr. FeinWright he was taken down and his head was chopped off at the order of President Clark, the president ordered that the head should be displayed outside of the capitol as a warning to those disloyal to the government.

After returning to the Presidential residence a state of emergency was declared by the President in the capitol. The top military brass was summoned to President Clark where he informed them of plans to further strengthen the nobility and install a monarch, they were all offered noble titles and power in the new regime, leading members of the oligarch class, representatives from the biggest banks and corporations were there to assure the military of a smooth transition. Half the generals agreed while half were appalled and vowed to fight tooth and claw, a bloody and chaotic battle for the capitol has ensued.

Președinte al Confederației Eszter Manescu offers support for the Whig Party

Image

The President of the Confederation of New Endralon has offered immediate support to the Whig Party in a recent speech in Cetatea Albă. The President has stated that the Whig Party will have whatever it requests, whether it be arms, supplies, or troops. President Manescu has gone so far as to offer intervention in the conflict with the deployment of an airborne division in support of the monarchists.

In preparation for any possible requests of aid, stockpiles of arms, munitions, and obsolete vehicles have been sent to ports and airports across the Confederation. In addition to this, experts from various military academies have been exempted from duty and are ready to deploy to Rutania to assist the Whig Forces.

The reasoning for this policy decision is unclear, but it has been implied that the new National Socialist nation would like to extend its influence abroad and gain new allies.

Prominent Business Leader Pledges Support for Republican Government

VANDERBERG: David Mwangi, founder and CEO of the GAMMA Group, one of Rutania's leading tech companies, announced his "full and enthusiastic support for the Republican cause" in a press release issued today. Mwangi--husband of Ingrid Mwangi, a prominent CRL leader--has long been active in politics and has donated extensively to the CRL and various liberal causes. As Mwangi observed in an interview with Spectre Magazine two years ago: "Conservatives consider themselves to be 'pro-business,' but we at GAMMA know that what's best for business is a happy, prosperous, and educated populace. It's not only possible, but imperative for good business and good government to exist side-by-side." Regarding recent events, Mwangi is "appalled" at the actions of President Clark and the recent eruption of violence in the national capital.

I, like many other Rutanians, have difficulty believing it, but we have just witnessed a coup attempted by our very own President. Clark's actions are treasonous, and we have a responsibility as loyal Commonwealth citizens to see that he is brought to justice. I and the board of GAMMA Group have pledged to provide whatever it takes to the Republican government's struggle to bring an end to monarchism. We are already in the process of reaching out to others in the technology industry who are just as horrified by President Clark's incitement of civil war.


When asked precisely what he meant by "whatever it takes," Mwangi's spokeswoman refused to elaborate, beyond averring that "GAMMA's influence is far-reaching, and it's resources are extensive." GAMMA is known for its popular "Γ" search engine, "Δ" web browsing software, and "Ω" line of mobile operating systems. It's estimated that over 53% of Rutanians use some model of Omega cellular phones.

"Royalists" Seize Vanderburg!!!

Image

Vanderburg: Despite a hastily organized defense of Vanderburg by forces loyal to the newly elected Republican Coalition, the Whig-led forces (now styling themselves as "Royalists") have managed to secure Rutania's capitol. While the full details are unknown at this time, it appears as though the Royalist faction has used its political influence and deep pockets to secure the support of key high level military figures in and around the capitol. While their influence appears to be less among the enlisted members - and in units farther from the capitol - they were nonetheless able to overwhelm the government here.

The Red Front (the official paramilitary of the DSPR) formed the nucleus of the defense; they were able to mobilize rather quickly and surprised the Royalist forces initially with the ferocity and ruthlessness of their defense. Rutanian National Front units - relatively weak within Khodor - supplemented the Red Front where possible, acting largely as support units to destroy infrastructure. Despite repeated calls from the Ministry of Defense for the coup forces to stand down, the Whigs had successfully reassigned loyal units to the capitol during their tenure, rendering the Ministry of Defense powerless. For a short time, the Red Front managed to battle the Royalist forces to a standstill, using guerilla urban warfare tactics expertly. In addition to armed resistance, trade unionists took to the streets in an attempt to halt tanks, trunks, and other vehicles with civil disobedience; some stood in front of the tanks, while others protested and harassed the troops. Indeed, there was speculation that if the Royalists lost the initiative for just long enough, Republican forces would have time to arrive from other regions and quash the coup.

The Royalist forces realized this as well - and opened fire upon the protestors to clear them. Jet fighters from a nearby air force base were seen dropping gas canisters into known Republican electoral strongholds in an attempt to suppress any opposition as a Royalist tank battalion rumbled into the seat of government. Vanderburg had fallen.

The past 24 hours have seen Royalist forces systematically sweeping the capitol, clearing out and arresting anyone suspected of opposing the coup. A curfew has been issued and martial law is in effect. Forces from the Rutania Party have reportedly been ordered by their leadership to seize and protect a few key sectors of the city. It is unknown at this time if they are supporting the coup or opposing it; the Royalists have so far declined to deal with them militarily, leading some to suspect a deal may have taken place.

It is unknown at this time the whereabouts of the elected government. It is known that the RNF Minister of the Interior ordered the core fleet of the navy to set sail from its port in Delvar amidst the coup; they have not been seen since. The paramilitary forces for both the RNF and DSPR have both begun to mobilize completely across the nation. The Civic Republican League of Rutania, the People's Party of Rutania, and the Conservative Party all appear to have been taken aback by these events and have not yet responded in any direct manner.

OOC: 1st Siege of Vanderburg Results - 50:50 Odds

1st Round: Republican
2nd Round: Royalist
3rd Round: Royalist
2/3 = Royalist = Winner.

Volksdundorfische Cultural Association paramilitary units flock to Republican-cause in Rutania

The Volksdundorfische Cultural Association is a collection of Dundorfians who work together to preserve the Dundorfian identity throughout northern Artania, it is by far the largest and most organized Pan-Dundorfian Movement to date and the Auslanddundorfischeamt (Luthorian: Foreign Dundorfian Office) is one of the most powerful NGO in the world when it comes to ethnic politics. The VDKV is made up of two branches, one political and one military. The military wing is known as the Selbstschutzverband (Luthorian: Self-Protection Associations) which have a long storied history supporting various Pro-Dundorfian movements throughout the world, notably in Kafuristan and Cildania. The outbreak of the Rutanian Civil War, a modern nation that was formerly a state of the historical Dundorfian Reich has prompted many SSV members to re-arm and begin heading to Rutania where they would support the Republican side as opposed to the Monarchist who would seek to place a von Thaller on the throne, a family that the VDKV has ruled "non-Dundorfian for continued ethnic and political transgressions against Volksdundorfische Darnussians."

3 lightly armored SSV regiments have been raised throughout the SSV's modern history and all of them have answered the call to protect Rutania from further transgressions of the von Thaller family. Obergruppenführer and former Dorvish Army Colonel Fabian Theoderic von Faust-Essen, the brother of the reigning Dorvish King has stepped up to lead the SSV regiments in the Rutanian Civil War on the side of the Republicans. The Free Majatran Legion (made up of primarily Majatran Auslanddunorfische), Freiwillige Infanterie-Regiment "Gert van Tassel" (made up of primarily Duntrekker volunteers) and Freiwillige Infanterie-Regiment "Maharbaal" (which is primarily made up of Cildanian Auslanddunorfische) were activated and began their journey to Rutania. All in all, nearly 15,000 volunteers were raised and the SSV is expected to raise another regiment made up of Rutanian Volksdundorfische. In terms of equipment and effectiveness, the equipment they are using is outdated for the modern era but still useful, in terms of effectiveness the SSV only accepts former armed forces members thus many of the men are trained and ample to fight.

The regiment expected to be raised in Rutania will likely number 5,000 men but it is possible that many more will flock to the SSV due to its fraternal nature.
