Deeming the campaign too risky, I withdraw the remainder of my battalion, sending an airship to retrieve them.

“What do you mean they withdrew?! What happened to no retreat, no surrender!”
Grand Admiral Adams fumes.
“Calm down sir, we had a back up plan.”
General Veers cuts off Admiral Peitt and proposes a new plan. Admiral Peitt and Grand Admiral Adams consider it.
“Veers presents an interesting point, Admiral. Follow through with his plan.”
The national guard mobilizes, and new militias are formed. All of which are trained by the Arditi that fought on the beaches of the Emerald Isles, and also by Blitztruppen drill Sargents. Boats from all around the nation are commandeered or willingly submitted for this desperate, yet methodical push. In total 5 battalions, of various men and women, all from different background come together, board a mish-mash of boats in the thousands, and set sail full steam ahead towards the isle. The Arditi Artillery regiment division, consisting of 900 bombardiers, 600 Artemis artillery platforms, and 10 Thor heavy siege howitzers, can also be seen parading onto boats. The 30 transports that left harbor earlier have joined the fleet, waiting for commands. These transports bear the mark of the Shocktruppen.

Are you still gonna ignore that I can see you before you land? You can’t just instantly land. That’s godmodding.

True, so let’s say that even more of my Arditi died trying to make ground. However, the northern island was a Trojan horse placed there beforehand from our trading route that once stood. So yeah, the Emerald Isle was me sticking my foot in the water, and then boiling it off. Oh, but didn’t I pull an Italy last minute, and the ships that landed bore the AOS marks? Your men probably would have received word about what I had done after 6 2000 kg shells landed close enough to your carrier to cause leaks (I played enough warthunder to know that would happen, and don’t say 2000 kg is godmodding cause they only fire every half hour.) So your troops would receive word that the COIA is now the enemy, try to mobilize as fast as possible, and then realize that the 2nd fleet was sitting there the whole time waiting for Order 66, and then watch their homes get hit by naval artillery while trying to get to the beaches, which are also under fire, only to meet the heavily armed and armored Arditi, who are firing machine guns everywhere. I mean, I don’t know about you, but it is usually hard to move an army under naval bombardment, especially when the Archer class ships launch cluster munitions and everything in a general vicinity is on fire and fuming white smoke and green toxic gas (chlorine, cause WW1), so that road you were going to take is gone, so you go around it in the dense, lush, pretty little landscape you have. OOC: I’m trying to sound as much like a little kid as possible, to see how much more you guys are gonna yell at me before you nuke my already dead island into oblivion.
