Eastern aggression has been on the rise since 1945. Russia and America nearly brought the world to it's knees because of ideological differences. North Korea threatened the Free World because of an egotistical leader. The Western world has never been free. It continues it's fight against the totalitarian states, but support and the will to survive is weakening. Crumbling. Freedom is not so much a right as it previously was. Peace is much more necessary to the people's minds now than freedom ever was. They want an end to this madness. And an end is what's coming.

Stabimus Fratres, in Bello Mori.


The Western Alliance has been beaten back, like a dog. A broken mutt. Europe has been laid to waste by Russia, a major component in the war machine that is the Eastern Offensive Pact (although often just regarded to as The Horde), fires blazing in the icy wastes of Scandinavia, and desolate resorts in France and Spain. Europe is no more than a wasteland, home to carrion birds and earthworms. On the other side of the globe, America is waging war on the North Korean and Chinese (an enemy the Alliance was not prepared too face) forces. The Philippines and Japan are the battlegrounds, with the home nations providing whatever support they can. Every island the Alliance loses, The Horde gains another ten or twenty soldiers. America is on her heels, and quickly losing balance.

The Alliance, in it's desperate need and ever shrinking highly-defensive locations, are worried. They have three new weapons of mass destruction: a re-development of Russia's Tsar Bomb with a yield of 2.7 gigatons. The same as the 1960 Chilean earthquake, which was felt over 6200 miles away. Three bombs, three targets. Moscow, Beijing, and Pyongyang. In there panicked state, they send the bombs to Britain, unaware of Russia's position in regards to the bleak isle. The WMD's are shipped up to Edinburgh, to be stored in Edinburgh Castle, arguably one of the greatest defensive situations in the world, but most importantly, not yet in the filthy paws of The Horde. The enemy cannot simply blow the area to pieces as this would remove the opportunity of having the weapons for themselves, and almost certainly kill everyone within thousands of miles, including the vast majority of the Russian forces.

Alliance top-brass had only heard of the Russian advance as the mass of Red was conforming in Norway and the bombs were already en-route to it's destination. It selected six of it's most decorated, most efficient, smartest, deadliest warriors it could produce. Each of these six Widow-Makers were given a fireteam, and a specific role in which it would fill. Six commanders, twenty four defenders, thirty guardians of Western civilisation, against a legion of death and strife.

*** For you guys who are unaware, I am assuming control of the Russian attackers. I will not be trying to "win" the RP, but will rather serve as the RP's main active antagonist. My moves will be monitored by The Scotsman, and I ultimately answer to him. However, all being well, there shouldn't be any problems. If you have any questions, ask away. I've put this below post together for you guys to use as a quick reference guide for the various troops/vehicles you will be encountering. ***


76th Guards Air Assault Division


Played by KeyboardKilroy


The 76th Guards Air Assault Division is a prominent airborne infantry body within the Russian Federation’s armed forces. It consists, as may be obvious, of mostly paratroopers (Vozdushno-desantnye voyska or VDV) backed by a variety of gunships, light armoured vehicles, engineer companies and some artillery.

By the time Battle of Edinburgh Castle takes place, the division has exhausted itself after a lightning strike across the eastern coast of Scotland. Hundreds were lost when the UK’s air defences responded in earnest to the squadrons of Russian An-12 aerial troop transports crossing the North Sea. Thousands more were scattered all over the mountainous country due to poor weather conditions and RAF forays, in an ironic comparison to the Allies’ airborne invasion of Normandy some 70 years earlier.

What ensued was a deadly game of cat and mouse, as the Russian VDV consolidated and clashed with Scotland’s regional defence forces. Taken by surprise, the British soldiers were driven off or encircled, despite the VDV’s displacement, and within 48 hours the situation for the Western Alliance was grim.

Now, with nothing to stop them, the 23rd Air Assault Regiment moves into the Edinburgh suburbs from the West, whilst the 234th Air Assault Regiment spearheads the assault from the East. The battle will come on two fronts, and though the brave soldiers of the VDV are determined to secure their objective, they are tired from two days of constant fighting and marching.

Nevertheless, Guards Col. Naumets Vasilevich, the division’s commanding officer, is confident that his men can prevail in Operation Regicide – the designation for the fall of Edinburgh, and the securing of the weapons of mass destruction. He orders them to attack, and not to relent; no matter what the cost.

Troop Types


Below are the types of enemies, and their appearance, that the defenders of the castle will be encountering. Please note that this is a work in progress, and more units may be added as the battle progresses.


Russian Paratroopers aka VDV


These are the hammer and anvil of the Russian assault. They are well trained, battle tested and determined. However, they have also been in near-constant battle for the last two days, and their combat-worthiness is questionable. Losses sustained in the initial invasion, and the grinding nature of the global conflict has impacted their morale somewhat. They are definitely in sorry shape, but do not underestimate a limping wolf.



Spetsnaz


The Russian Federation’s elite warriors, these soldiers rank amongst the world’s greatest. Although few in number, they should be feared, and dealt with quickly should they ever manifest themselves in the assault.



2B11 Sani


The 2B11 Sani serves as the Russians’ main means of artillery support. It is a heavy 120mm infantry mortar, capable of ranges up to 7 kilometres. The attacking forces have dozens of these weapons assigned to them, so listen out to the distinctive whistle of a mortar round – and take cover if you do.



Mil Mi-24


The Mil Mi-24 (Миль Ми-24, NATO reporting name: Hind) is a large helicopter gunship and attack helicopter and low-capacity troop transport with room for eight passengers.

The loadout mix is mission dependent; Mi-24s can be tasked with close air support, anti-tank operations, or aerial combat.



BMP-2


The BMP-2 provides the VDV with the bulk of their land-based troop transport and armoured support. Some were landed directly onto Scottish beaches, whilst others have been flown into the battle; either way, there are scores of them supporting the assault.

However, the network of tight roads and narrow streets that surround the castle diminish their effectiveness. If one gets within range of the castle, and has a good line of sight, then watch out for its stabilized 30 mm 2A42 autocannon with dual ammunition feeds!

So, I was derping about on your intrest check and saw it said full. But I wanted to throw this idea out anyways, say the five teams have occasional fire missions/supply drops I've always liked roleplaying pilots. Also if you do think that it would be cool, you can shoot me down at your discretion!

Know what buddy, I don't think the others are too bothered. You want a spot? It sounds like a great idea, to be honest, like a friendly face bringing in some much-needed support, an eye-in-the-sky the men can trust.

So what would you prefer? A sort of fast mover maybe an F-22 or more of an overwatch type thing like the AC-130?
