By order of the Kaiser, the Schlieffen plan was to commence. He is ordering the Invasion of Belgium to get to France quickly. He is aware of Belgium's recent spending in military, but he suggests that the small Belgium military could not defend off the German Army from entering annexing Belgium and invading France.
A force of about 750,000 is now massing on the Belguim border. Along with about 6,500 thousand peices of artillery.
The Artillery commenced firing onto Belguim military strongholds and forces located on the German-Belgium border. The Artillery is well supplied for days of bombardment via train.
It is believed that the massive force of German troops would easily crush the Belgium forces. Though anything can happen.

[North-Eastern Belgium]
The Germans had long attempted to bully Belgium around. In a show of complete German brutality, Germany had invaded Belgium, who had never posed a inch of aggressiveness towards the Germans. Of course, the Germans being the aggressive people that they were had attacked anyway.
The 11th and 37th Army have been called to the immediate defence of Belgium and a draft has been iniaited. The 41st and 52nd will remain in reserve.
War tactics had always revolved around mobilization and movement. However, Belgium, seeing that with such a small country their movement was highly inhibited quickly settled into what had served mainly as observation posts. Long trenches in the ground, they had been mainly for the movment of troops along the Belgium line, so that they could move safley and unseen. However, the Belgium's are forced to use these trenches as a means for defence. the 52nd has begun immediate construction of larger, more advanced trenches 21 km off the Belgium border.
As the German army rolled into Belgium, immediate gunfire errupted along the line. As hordes of Infantry poured into Belgium, light machine gun fire, assited by Belgium artillery poured into the advancing German units. With 230,000 men along the line in total, trenches were only avaliable for about half that number. As such, other men were forced to dig trenches as fast as they can. For those unforutunate enough to be under direct assualt, they instead had to make do with foxholes rather then one long trench system.
To observe German movments, 3 Belgium bi-planes have been launched, their pilots armed with pistols. Should the Germans attempt to approach the Belgiums, pilots will atempt to engage with their pistols. Belgium scientest's are looking at ways to modify Bi-Planes for more effective ways of fighting...

As of now I'm massed on the border but I havn't set one foot into Belgium territory. And please post losses to my artillery attack. |

Causalties:
11,789 Total Military Personel
411 Artillery Guns
178 Horses
9,818 Civilians
MIA: 21,178
OCC: This assumes an artillery bombardment of one week. Should it be going on longer, please notify. Problems with casualties, notify me. Since there are no POWs as of yet, we can all assume what most MIA will really be...

German-Belgium Border
"Sir, we've bombed the hell out of them. Artillery bombardment has been going on for a week now. I advise that we save the rest of the amo and supplies for when we enter Belgium."
"Very well, we shall begin phase 2 of the invasion." replied the General
By order of the General, phase 2 of the invasion of Belgium has began. The German forces begin to poor into the belgium territory at fast pace. They want to secure the first line of Belgium defense; take their trenches and set up defenses of their own.
As soon as the German forces entered the Belgium territory; a shooting war had began. Small arms erupted throughout the hills. The Germans could see the main structure of the Belgium line has been crippled. It should now be too weak to hold off any kind of substantial infantry invasion. Most of their machine gun nests were probably crippled from the arilltery bombardment. The German forces entered with fast pace hoping to catch the Belgian forces with their pants down.
10 German Fighter Aircrafts are now homing in on the Belgian biplanes that were eyeing the German forces. They close in on the bi-planes and unload a payload of machine gun fire.
OOC: Your casualties would be much higher. A week's long artillery bombardment of about 6,500 German arillery peices would do a hell of a lot more damage from that. In RL, in the battle of Verdun, German shelled France with about 1,200 pecies of artillery and it was about a day (I think). And the French lost over twice as much than you.

yes but at the battle of Verdun France and Germany were already engaged in war. Belgium shouldn't/wouldn't have known you were gonna invade him so why would all of his forces be on your border anyways. France probably had more troops at Verdun then Belgium did at the German/Belgium border.

ooc: And more then likely they were not entrenched like Belgiums troops... German artillery had a tough time against a dug in defender.

OCC: Actually, me and France invaded Germany awhile back, but it wasn't a good time for the mods, since they didn't have enough allies (see "Berlin Pact"), so they deemed the invsion illegal, and deleted all our posts, and we were unable to recover any (he deleted them within one hour of saying he would). Thus, my intrest in this RP declined quite a bit, and I feel this RP is a bit biased, (See Invasion of Canada in North America). Nonethless, I want to RP some gureilla action, so I'm giving Germany at least a fight before the surrender.

It was the first god damned day of the game. Stop your whining and role play. |

Okay Belgium, we the greeks are going to try to hold our end of the alliance as best as we can. We can't promise anything. I'm going to try to sneak over 200 troops on commerical ships (disguesed as workers). They will be unarmed except for small knives and darrenger sized guns (easy to conceal). They will group up at your capital, these men are trained to work as frontline Infentry, many of them are veteran soldiers. The only problem is that they have no rifles and some money. So they will have to buy guns in your gunstores or scavenge them up. This is a dangerious move, I know I'll see what I can do. Expect them in 3 weeks.
The 300 Greeks that did not move out are going to be ordered to towns bridges and towns to work as skirmishers and Gurrilua (how ever you spell it) Tactics. They will also try to scrap up supplies for you to use.
We have been good about using the land to do stuff.

[To Greek Exiles;
from Madrid, Spain]
To the leader of the Greeks in Exile:
We have received reports of you sneaking troops around the med. We wish to inform you that this is not nessecary. You have rights of passage through Spanish territory, and your ships shall be protected by the Spanish fleet, which is currently at Sardinia. After arriving in Spain, your troops will be reinforced and fed. Then armed with up-to-date Spanish rifles. It hurts us all for our allies to snoop around when there are friendly nations right there.
[Signed]King Alphonso XIII

Thank you Spain. That is very kind. These men will be hooking up with your ships being carried by a Cruiser. I thank you for your kindness.

OCC: Call of Duty; United Offensive is insane. I had to rip myself away to write this.
Apparently 32,000 dead isn't enough for him, so I guess I'll inflate my casualties, even though I feel after 2 days artillery bombardment most of the damage that could be done, would be done.
Casualties: 21,431 Men
MIA: 26, 679
48,000 men. I think thats resonable.
IC:
As the German invaders poured in against the 11th army, which had taken 90 pct of the casualties -- broke and ran. Demorilized and exhausted, the 11th is now out of the fight. No doubt many would rise as freedom fighters should the time come. At least one thing would come from the routing 11th. There was now an ample supply of guns and ordanance all over the country.
The German army would come accross trenches covered in blood, feces, and rats. In some locations the trenches were non-exsistant. None-the-less, the Germans would be dis-inclined to stay in said trenches, or at this point, meerly a ditch.
The 37th has taken up postions in the well built trenches constructed by the 52nd. The 37th well be joined by the 52nd, putting a total of 200,000 men on the line. Included in their ranks will be the newly trained 2nd, consiting of another 100,000 men. Making the grand total 300,000.
To counter German artillery supplys, Belgium artillery had been brought in for support. 4,400 guns to be exact. The guns began shelling, and would continue to shell the German newly found "cover". This is the prime time to hurt the German army, and as such, supply for a four day barrage has been brought in. Should casualties seem to be high enough at day three, the bombardment will continue an additional 3 days, to equal the German bombardment of one week.
In other news, two Belgium Bi-Planes were shot down. However, it doesn't seem to be too terrible a loss...
