Re: Official Battleground Thread
Hmm, this is weird. I see you've edited the ruling, but there's no "Last edited..." line below it.
My moves:
- Upon detection of the carrier, my two fighters immediately convey the location to command, marking the GPS coordinates
- They simultaneously break off from their route, rise to maximum altitude (60,000 ft) and get the hell out of there (back home)
- The other two fighters do the same thing
- [Secret move]
- One of my destroyers launch all freebie cruise missiles, 5 Tactical Tomahawks, at the detected carrier

Re: Official Battleground Thread
Summary: Having still had no instructions from HQ Archbishop Dunholm deploys his infantry to construct a shrine to end all shrines, dedicated to St Augustine, on the outskirts of Newfoundland. They remain on standby to return to the defences as required and air patrols continue."There still haven't been any orders from HQ?" Archbishop Dunholm asked with a look of amazement as the Regimental messenger simply shook his head. "So we've just got thousands of men milling around doing absolutely nothing?" A nod of the head from the messenger confirmed the Archbishop's analysis.
Alfred thought to himself for a short time, wondering what it was he could do to keep the men busy without them being constantly rat-arsed in the pubs of Newfoundland. Suddenly an idea struck him, "Order the infantry to begin construction on a shrine to St Augustine." The messenger blinked in apparent amazement for a few seconds before asking, "Where, your Grace?" Following a vague hand motion in the general direction of the landward side of the city the Archbishop concluded, "over there somewhere." And so, on the outskirts of Newfoundland, the goodd Lord's work began.

Re: Official Battleground Thread
When the planes are spotted:
- two infrared homing missiles sent
- anchors up, full ahead orders given
- 9 fighters are ordered to start
- 'attacked' signal sent to Montauk, and thereby four fighters there too
The missiles hit:
- 4 of 5 Tomahawks in target: one on the deck near two fighters - they will be unable to fight, one of them was previously ordered to start, one on the end of the landing area, two near the tower: one near its base and one hit a 152mm gun. The last one explodes behind underwater causing a 20m long and 6m deep dent in recreational area, effectively demolishing it, which will probably affect morale even worse than the other harms.
And then... I'm not an expert: how much Malliki's actions would take (noticing that I spotted them and firing Tomahawks at me). I suppose it's less than two minutes and the pilots of the fighters take off not to chase the offenders, but to evacuate.

Re: Official Battleground Thread
What is the status of the carrier, destroyed or severely immobilized? Also, the Tactical Tomahawks were not fired by the fighters, they were fired by one of my destroyers off Montauk.
Summary:
- The two infrared homing missiles sent from the carrier (RIM-116s I presume) with an effective range of 29,500 feet (9,000 meters) fail to reach the two fighters at 32,800 feet (10,000 meters)
- Antican fighters flying CAP (altitude +30,000 feet, a total of roughly 60 fighters (mine and Octavius') taking turns patrolling airspace) over Montauk immediately engage the four fighters taking off from Montauk with air-to-air missiles
- 8 fighters take off from carrier (and cannot therefore participate in CAP duties) to meet returning stealth fighters and will then escort them home to carrier at high altitude

Re: Official Battleground Thread
The carrier is moving at about 5kph (3mph), heading Kupców. It still has some defense systems functioning, but I suppose they are only semi-efficient. It can still send and receive fighters, but it takes more time (average start time is 45 seconds if I recall properly, and it was now prolonged to 60 seconds). Tomahawk missiles thrown by a destroyer wouldn't hit any of the deep core elements of the ship. The deck has two craters and the ship must really slow down to avoid anything hitting the underwater dent, but nothing more.
The Montauk fighters drop all of their flares and make a tight 180 degree turn.
After two minutes another turn back and they fire all rockets they've got at multiple targets, computer-aimed.
One pilot notices a small spot on 11 o'clock that's getting bigger and catapults himself. One fighter lost.
After 30 seconds of heavy rocket launching three remaining fighters head base in Montauk.

Re: Official Battleground Thread
Summary:'Captain, we have a large sonar signature to the east, bearing 2-4-1. Please advise.'
The captain of the Antican submarine Creeping Death thought for a moment and replied, 'take us to 150 feet, Lieutenant, and do it silently.'
The massive submarine began its slow rise from 550 feet, keeping the large signature in range. After a while the captain could see that they had reached the correct depth.
'Weapons Officer, fire all four torpedos at the signature and immediately reload the tubes and fire four more. Let's make this clean and fast.'
'Yes Sir, torpedos away.' A minute later, 'torpedos away.'
'Take us to 400 feet Lieutenant.'
- Antican submarine Creeping Death fires a total of eight torpedos at the Interlandian carrier
- The submarine was moved via secret order
- Torpedo tubes reloaded again
- Sub dives to 400 feet

Re: Official Battleground Thread
Summary Montauk:
- One Antican fighter lightly damaged, grounded for repairs
- One fighter heavily damaged, Out indefinitely
- Montauk airfield discovered on account of fighters taking off while island is being closely monitored by fighters and Hawkeyes
- Four fighters armed with JDAMs and cluster bombs take off, travel at 30'000 feet and drop their payload on said airfield, targeting runway, hangars and control tower
(Would write a crappy story but I'm on my iPhone.)

Re: Official Battleground Thread
The aircraft carrier shakes and leans in prow direction. Apparently a part of the engine broke off. Floodgates were closed already to prevent leaks (we had a 20m dent already). The carrier stops its engines and drifts into shallows. 5 torpedoes in total explode in or close to the ship's stern. The crew sends messages asking to cease fire.
And there was no airport on Montauk, as I previously said. All the fighters were sent from a nearby carrier.

Re: Official Battleground Thread
- Antican submarine rises to 150 feet again
- Fires four more torpedos at the carrier, hoping that it will finally sink as it should have long ago
- Submarine dives to 400 feet
Sorry, missed that about the airport. Consider the JDAMs and cluster bombs hitting a forest, while instead the carrier is discovered since, you know, fighters taking off from the sea looks sorta suspicious.

Re: Official Battleground Thread
Quick recap:
- 2nd Carrier Strike Group contributes 29 fighters (25 F/A-18E Super Hornets and 4 EA-18G Growlers) to CAP duties over Montauk island and the carrier group, flying in pairs, taking turns patrolling the airspace, with no less than half that force airborne at any time, usually more
- Phalanx forces contribute 8 F-35 Lightning II stealth fighters to CAP duties over Montauk island and the carrier group, with at least four being airborne at any given time

Re: Official Battleground Thread
"There she is." Lt Leostratus said, pointing to the position on the map where the Second Carrier Group found an Interlander carrier of unknown designation.
Commodore Scutarius nodded. After a moment of thought, he picked up the handset mounted on the side of the Information Management Table. "Comm, connect me to Air Operations."
"Aye, sir."
Anthony waited as the Comm Operator made the connection. "Scramble two flights of fighters. Anti-ship operations. Direct the CAP to keep guard of them as they go."
When he returned the handset to its holder, Anthony found Lt Valeria standing next to him. She said, "The Doto is in position to begin shelling Montauk City."
"Tell them to proceed as planned."
Summary:The twin guns of the Doto rose up out of their protective housings. After a brief moment's pause, they then rotated starboard and elevated to the appropriate angle. After another moment's silence, the two guns then fired. The forward one. Three seconds of silence, then the aft one. Another three seconds of silence, then the forward one again. Then the aft one. The two guns took turns firing. Again, and again, and again, throughout the night, and into the dawn. Each time, the trajectory was adjusted to compensate for the movement of the ship and for increased accuracy on target. Their targets, pinpointed using aerial observation, were the fortifications set up in Montauk City.
Eight (8) fighters, armed with six 2,000-lb JDAMs, two AMRAAMs, and two Sidewinders each, launch attack on the aircraft carrier off the coast of Montauk that the Second Carrier Group discovered. JDAMs are the primary weapon being used (AMRAAMs and Sidewinders are for defensive purposes).
CAP instructed to ensure the safety of the fighters in the above attack.
All other fighters (24) are rotating on CAP duties.
Destroyer Doto begins shelling Montauk City, concentrating on any positions that the Interlanders have fortified.
Galene continues anti-air and anti-sub search and destroy operations.
Helicopters continue anti-sub search operations with dipping SONAR.

"Was that a gunshot?" Archbishop Dunholm asked with a mix of alarm and excitment. "No, Your Grace, it was a Fiat Punto backfiring outside". The Archbishop gave out a long sigh before sitting down again and continuing with his 10,000 piece Nativity jig-saw.

Re: Official Battleground Thread
Outcome of the Antican submarine attack:'Sir, I think we hit it full on.' The young weapons officer's voice trembled slightly. This was his first kill, and the thought of sinking an entire aircraft carrier with men and everything was hard to accept.
'Thank you lieutenant, good job', the captain replied. 'Comms, communicate to command that the target has been destroyed and that they can tell the Interlanders the sea is clear for rescue operations, not that I think they'll find anyone alive, but I suppose they have to try at least.'
The captain wiped his brow. It was getting a bit stuffy in the sub and it would be wonderful to maybe get some fresh air on the way back.
'Ensign, take us to 450 feet and head back to the group. We're not done hunting yet.'
- The Interlandian carrier previously attacked with Tomahawks and torpedos sinks from the damages inflicted on it
- Any aircraft still on the carrier are lost together with the carrier
- Antican submarine dives to 450 feet and heads back to 2nd Carrier Strike Group, moving as silent as possible
