Imperialism

[I'm considering just hauling off and reversing back to before this so we can go through with WWIII.]

(Did I tell you guys or what?)

Massive air and missile strikes against the British coastline are launched by French, German and Russian forces. Following this, a huge invasion force lands at Brighton Beach, supported by a huge number of Red Navy ships and Soviet satellite-based bombardment. A beachhead is rapidly established, and the British, though fighting commendably against overwhelming odds, are driven back alarmingly quickly. At the same time, a Soviet detachment lands on Iceland, the only remaining British ally in Europe.

Britain and Iceland call to the ISE and USA for help.

[you can consider the US an NPC now. I'm done in this thread]

(Not sure whether I want to make a gambit for control of the U.S. or just quit too. With Alex gone there's going to be a lot less a point to this whole forum.)

The Irish Fleet Uses a Virus with a randomized Security code that switches ever 2 minutes to hack into the U.S's Laser Satellite grid. They Then use the Lasers to aid in the Soviet Union's Assault on the brits.

Britain and Iceland continue their diplomatic version of hopping up and down and waving their arms and screaming at Brazil to try and get help. Iceland's fall is virtually guaranteed at this point.

The U.S. having given the security codes to the ISE in case of emergency, the ISE notices the virus the Irish are using, and noting the American failure to respond, counter hack them, blocking our Ireland with great success. They wave at the U.S. to gets its attention back on its satellites.

The member 'President WIN' has done the following action : Roll dice

'd20' : 13

The Irish Having Pinpointed the location of the Satellites via the hack, use their Large Drone fleet to Destroy Each Satellite before the U.S Could Take control of them.

The ISE forces seize control of the satellites, blow the drones out of the sky, and then cloak and change the positions of the satellites.

The ISE then asks the U.S. what the hell was going on with their control of the satellites.

The Drones being mirror coated reflect the lasers. They then Blow the Satellites out of the Sky with Mirror Coated Missiles.

The Lasers, having gamma radiation boosters, destroy the mirrors, as well as what they are shielding.

[something I forgot to mention: the sats don't use purely one type of laser. They are a mixture of Gamma, light, and heat-based. Mostly, the array contains heat and gamma, as the US outdated light-based Weaponary a while ago. Just FYI. Oh, and, obviously, the Irish don't know this.]

(well now they do smart ass...)

The irish fire a spread charge of micro missiles into the earth's satellite belt destroying effectively all the Laser satalites.

(Also i wish to point out. A: Gamma rays are light. B: Heat is light. In other words you didn't out date light... You only improved on it. Also them being drones in space renders heat mostly obsolete, and gamma radiation has little to no effect on the drones. However the missiles were destroyed. Meaning the drones watched the sats cloak. And did you forget the irish have the capability to track cloaked objects?)

Hey so, guys, I just heard an aerospace engineering professor from University of Iowa explain how lasers can't maintain their energy in a focused beam through the atmosphere. So, either a laser cooks the earth, or it isn't powerful enough to hit any individual target. Therefore, America's laser would never have worked on earthly targets. So, um yeah.

[So we've been operating on the premise that they do, Trey, and we're not changing it now.]

The USA, outraged, continues their campaign in space to annihilate Irish warships in Earth space.

Iceland falls to Soviet forces, and Britain is failing quickly. The situation in Italy continues to heat up as car bombings are used, with vicious reprisals from the pro-ISE majority.

So, this is now fantasy. Love it. Except we all knew it was fantasy before, but oh well, that at least was subject to the Laws of Physics.

lol

The Irish Mount a Full scale attack on the U.S Behemoth Fleet, They fire a spread fire of solid shot missiles at the Behemoth fleet. The Drones get in close and fire small canister shots of Fragmented Rocks into the hulls of the Behemoths. Then The Irish use their Grand scale Plasma Weaponry, Several Irish ships begin firing a 180 degree spread arc of plasma Bullets in front of their ships. The Plasma pierces into the mirror coatings, the Irish then Fire lasers into the Mirror coatings creating holes in the majority of the Behemoth Fleet. Several Irish ships Are Crippled and Several More Are Destroyed. The U.S Suffer massive Casualties from the Sneak Attack.

Terraforming Progress: Mars' Atmosphere is now 2% oxygen, 84% CO2, and 14% Nitrogen. The Irish Terraforming Efforts Increase. Pools of water now form in the low lands of Mars. From Earth, Mars is beginning to look more blue. The dwarf Planet Ceres Is Placed into Orbit around Mars successfully, it begins to act like the Earth's Moon creating Tides and providing adequate tidal stress on the surface to further liquify the core.

[So quit bitching, Trey. The reason why we're still going with this is because we've already gone with it, and I'm not going to haul the entire RP back to the point where the USA started using the satellites just so you can feel validated about everything being scientifically accurate. I probably will haul it back to before Ireland went to space, just to try a version of the RP without all the space technology (wherein kinetic bombardment would be replacing lasers), but that is a different situation.]

[Ian, you can't put Ceres around Mars. That wouldn't work very well.]

The British are now essentially restricted to Wales and Scotland, with Soviet and German advances pressing even further on them. France has pulled out of the invasion and now has massed its forces on the borders with Spain and Luxembourg again.

Much of the Italian land around Rome has dissolved into chaos. Belousov orders the detachment of a Soviet military occupation force into the area to hold down the fighting and protect international and Italian citizens and property.

(I have been moving it for quite a time and only now do you void it =\. I said it would take a long time and it took a really long time.)


From Space, Several Solid Shot missiles are dropped onto New york City, Washington D.C, LA, Chicago, Phoenix, and Seattle. The Resulting explosion causes a large majority of the towns to be incinerated, the solid rounds pierce into any underground features.

Finally Ireland gets a very very evil idea. They Fire a Massive Solid Shot missile, which pierces deep into Yellowstone national park. It goes down at least one mile below the surface.

Further casualties are inflicted on the Irish by American ground-based installations mounting both lasers and missiles, as well as the remaining starships of their space force. They request assistance from Brazil.

The Italian government-in-exile in Libya also asks Brazil for assistance, having been effectively ousted by the Russian occupation after their "failure to contain demonstrators" and "abysmal domestic policy" "threatened Russian and allied interests and persons" within their country.

The Irish using decoy ships as the targets for the american ground weaponry. Track the locations from which the weapons were fired. They fire More solid shot missiles on the locations of the Laser and Missile weaponry.

The Irish Space fleet begins to resort to plasma weaponry to pierce rapidly into the hulls of the American fleet even faster. They also begin to form a blockade around the earth. Several Irish troop Battalions are seen amongst the Soviet forces.
