[Southern Corsican Docks]
Grand Admiral Prododeka had been in his quarters reading a book for most of the day, but it was time that he broke the bad news to the fleet. The Admiral put on his uniform and slowly walked up to the bridge. The entire bridge crew stopped what they were doing and snapped to attention. They would receive the bad news. Prododeka took off his hat and leaned against the wall for a few moments, and then he spoke. "The operation shall go through. Move the fleet into position." With that the crew went back to their posts and prepared the flagship for departure.
Within half an hour the ship was ready to go, along with most of the other ships. It lurched off of the dock and steamed towards its destination.....Sardinia.
The island wasn't far off Corsica. Only a few miles. But they weren't just going to land on the northern most part of the Island. There would be different landing sites. Four landing sites. The fleet had just reached the middle of the channel when Prododeka gave the order to launch the first wave of troops.
Within 20 minutes, troops all over the fleet were loading up on small rowing boats. There was no telling how many boats there were, but it must have been over 200. With anywhere from 8 to 20 people in a boat. These boats were heading towards the beaches of Santa Teresa di Gallura, they would hit the beaches in moments. This was just for the first beach. Five destroyers broke off from their formation and steamed west, another five destroyers with an armored Cruiser steamed east. Yet also another destroyer acompanied the ships going west, but it would continue around the island until it reached the island of St. Garland in 1 RL hour. As for the other landing forces, the five destroyers were heading to the town of Castelrado. It would take 20 RL minutes to get there. The six vessels were heading toward Palau to drop off even more troops. It would arrive in 10 RL minutes.
Santa Teresa di Gallura
The first few landing craft hit the beaches. The proud Spanish infantry jumped out of their boats and ran up the beaches to a small hill overlooking a little town. They heard a rumor that Italian beach defenders wore black at night to hide themselves from attackers, and it was only 4 A.M. so the defenders could be well hidden. Some officers lit a few torches and threw them over the hill so everyone can see, time could only tell now.
Castelrado
After the small flotilla reached the waters around the town, the captains immedeatly gave the order to begin launching troops. 10,000 Soldiers got into their various boats and started rowing towards shore. After what seemed like hours, they hit the beach. (And since I dont want to be called a "newb" I'll just wait and see what happens)
Palau
The six vessels reached the island, and just like Castelrado, they immedeatly launched the troops. This invasion took longer then the other beaches. The troops were picked by their officers to assault this island. The soldiers were much weaker then the other ones on the other beaches. So it took slightly longer for them to row to the beach. But when they finally reached the sand, they jumped out of the boats.
