Hell
The Ottoman's took the surrender with relief and of course great caution. The artillery had ceased of course and many were disapointed that it came to using that extreme force to crumble the Norwegian's defence. Nonetheless the Ottoman leaders met with the mayor, and through a Swedish translator an agreement was reached. The Ottoman's tried to explain that the invasion of Norway was a strike on the axis of evil that was the Berlin Pact and that the Ottoman's and Swedish didn't expect such a honorable defence from the Norwegians.
The Ottoman's garrisoned the town immediatley wounded and artillery were also moved in. With strikes on supply lines the wounded were no longer safe if moved back to Sweden. Citizens of Hell also helped in moving Ottoman equipment undoubtably out of fear.
Oslo
The Norwegian artillery still pinned certain areas of the Swedish lines but it didn't get too many men. However some shells met their targets.
Casualities: 1 Armored Car destroyer, 3 Artillery Pieces.
The Swedish artillery was aimed at the Norwegian trenches and began to fire immediatley. Meanwhile the Swedish 1st Army moved in Oslo towards the lines led by the armored cars. The 1st Army reached the lines soon enough. They readied there rifles and attached their bayonets. They were going to win this war and this was going to be the turning point. The signal for the charge was the artillery fire moving back to the Norwegian artillery. The Swedish 1st army charged the trenches being fortified by civilians and military alike and opened fire onto them.
Oslo Bay
The Swedish Fleet needed to win this Bay for the war effort. The fire from the coastal guns managed to finish off some already damaged ships but wasn't going to win the battle on its own. The newly deployed coastal defence ships wasn't either.
Casualties: 1 Already heavily damaged Cruiser and 1 Already damaged Destroyer sunk. 1 Destroyer Already lightly damaged crippled.
The Dreadnoughts and Battleships turned their fire opon the costal guns once more and mainly opon the heavy protected guns in forts. The Cruisers and Destroyers also pushed on but opened up on the remaining Norwegian ships to take control of the bay.
Kristiansand
Casualties: 400 Men
The Swedish left the Norwegian cavalry crippled and captured. The Infantry moved into the town with the militia soon fleeing to the outskirts of the town. Despite a possible window of oppertunity arising the Swedish only garrisioned a few building and held their lines. Instead the Swedish navy now joined by the small fraction of the Ottoman fleet were ordered to open fire opon the Norwegian postions behind the city. They were joined by the Swedish artillery. The Swedish weren't going to sacrifice men in a charge that could be avoided.

Hell
No secret attack or organized insurrection comes. Rebels take pot shots at Ottoman troops, but they lack the numbers or organization to do any real damage. The town itself is in tatters. Most of the major buildings destroyed by Ottoman bombardment and the major rail lines, bridges and other vital infastructure lays in ruins from sabotage.
Oslo
Artillery rains down and long range sniper fire is directed at the 1st army. As it approaches and gets tied up in the barbed wire the artillery pieces open fire at close range with canister shot, tearing through the ranks like giant shotgun blasts. The machine gun positons open up, and vollies of fire and grenades are thrown over the top of the trench.
Losses: 1,000 Infantry, 500 Civilians
Oslo Bay
Half of the forts are crippled, the rest have had their fire power reduced. They continue to focus on the largest, most heavily gunned Sweedish ships. The cruisers and battleships regroup under the screening of the remaining destroyers and concentrate fire on the largest ships as well.
Losses: 2 Destroyers
Kristiansand
The line at the rear comes under heavy fire, and a hole is punched in the Kristiansand defenses. Reinforcements try to move up and support the position.
Losses: 250 Infantry, 300 Civilians

Hell
Casualties: 6 Men
The Snipers still take pot shots at the Ottoman's but the town is firmly in their hands now. The Soldiers set up MG postions and Artillery batteries in the tattered town where ever possible. The port is garrisoned and all ships still there are searched.
Some of the Maxim MG's are aimed towards the sniper postions and on any signs of activity bursts are fired towards the postions along with rifle fire.
Oslo
Casualties: 7500 Men
The Swedish continue firing opon the Norwegians concentrating opon the MG's. Many find ways through the barbed wire evidentually and charge the trenches. The remaining armored cars move towards the trenches firing opon the Mg's. As this happens artillery is once more called in on the artillery. Many Swedish troops that failed to get through the barbed wire quick enough take as much cover as they can.
The 20 Ottoman Mark 1 Tanks are immediatley requested by the commanders as Oslo. Knowing the trench battle there could be bloody they needed all the help they could get to take the upperhand.
Oslo Bay
With the threat of the Coastal Guns sigfificantly lessened the Swedish Fleet aims all fire towards the Norwegians fleets every resource is pooled into sinking any Norwegian ship still showing signs of resisting them.
2 Dreadnoughts lightly Damaged by Coastal Guns
Kristansand
With the Norwegian Defences waivering the Swedish took the advantage. The Ottoman/Swedish fleet and artillery are order to continue pounding their artiilery postions with everything they have got and all available infantry charge the lines at the weakest points of the trenches firing opon the Norwegians with bayonets ready. If the Norwegians didn't surrender soon there would be few left to surrender to the Swedish.

OOC: Ok, after breifly looking over this thread, I can say a couple things; Sweden, at times, you greatly "under-post" your casualties. You're charging his lines and you loose like 600 while he looses like 2,000? That doesn't make any sense. And Afghanistan, your casualties seem the most realistic, but on a couple occasions I saw you "over-posting" your casualties.

The Greek planes take off again. Their mission is simple, bomb oslo while it is dark. Twenty bombers of the 3rd Greek Army Air Squadrant take off. They will bomb early in the morning and then return around sunrise. Thnen the 1st and 2nd Air squadrant will take off and straff enamy targets
The 1st squadrant will use 10 planes to straff targets and 10 planes to keep any remaining norway planes from attacking them. The 2nd Squadrant will go over the bay and straff enamy ships sitting in the bay.
The 4th Squadrant will then take off and bomb the Coatal artillary positions.

Oslo
The fighting is fierce. Most of the machine guns are silenced by concentrated fire. Artillery desperatly opens fire on the tanks, not knowing what these machines are. Those troops not caught in the melee in the trenches do the same, firing disorganized, desperate shots at the tanks. In the trenches the melee is fierce. Soliders armed with bayonettes fight shoulder to shoulder with farmers armed with shotguns to repel the Swedish/Ottoman invasion.
Losses: 2500
Oslo Bay
The few Coastal guns left are given orders to fire at will. Laying down cover fire the fleet begins to retreat, headed closer to the docks at the city of Oslo.
Losses: 1 Battleship, 1 Cruiser, Many heavily damaged
Kristansand
The Ottomans break through the weak part of the line. Artillery fire is layed down at the rear of the line, trying too hard to avoid Swedish casualties. The infantry and remaining calvary move up to the flanks to attempt a counter charge, trying to hit the Ottoman troops while they cross the line so that the whole force can't be brought to bare against them.
Losses: 750 Infantry, 250 Cavalry, 250 Civlians

Oslo bay
The naval war could be heard in the distance.The muffled rumble as a very distant thunder. Each pounding thud makes the German Naval commanders want to jump in and help their Norwegian freinds even more. But they sent in the U-boats in first, to save the day, and eventually reinforce Oslo; aquatically, and terrestrially.
The Army boys were apprehensive about the outcome of the war no doubt about that. They feared future Russian Intervention. The war could escalate to uncomprehensible proportions if that were to occur. The German Government were hesitant at first about aiding our freindly northern neighbors; mainly because the Norwegian representative to the Berlin Pact continuously failed to show his face the BP meetings (OOC: Another way of saying; unactive). That instilled a fear in the German Government that they know they didn't want; that either Norway was lost interest in the Berlin Pact and unformally broke off of the Berlin Pact. Or even worse; they were fixing to betray the Berlin Pact and/or the German Empire.
Weither this was true or not; it didn't matter in the Kaiser's mind. For a Moscow Pact controlled Norway, will only go on to the current over-sized list of countries surrounding the German Empire. This could not be allowed to happen.
U 139
"Sir, I'm not getting any sub noise. Looks like the Ottoman and the Swedes dont have any subs. If they do have them; their engines are turned off for some reason, or it's being muffled out by the shelling. I'm getting a lot of noise."
"Very well. What's our current speed?" Said the Captain, turning to his XO.
"Current speed; 7 knots." He replied.
"Ok, slow her down to 2 knots untill we have a positive target. We dont want to cause too much commotion before the surprise. The rest of the division is probably getting as close as they can, they'd be slowing down too." Said the Captain.
The sub slowed down as he ordered. The Captain sat down just behind his periscope position. He waited a few minutes before giving the order.
"Come to periscope depth. We should be close enough." He said as the sub began to rise before resting.
"Up scope." Said the Captain as the scope rised above the surface. The Captain looked in the scope studying the battle as it commenced. The Germans seemed to still have the element of surprise. The surface part of the fleet is too far off in the distance for the Ottoman and the Swedes to spot them. He spoted the closest surface ship and declared it his target. He had been givin direct orders by the Admiral, that the first shots were to be as synchronized as possible; obtaining the highest level of surprise.
"Torpedoes loaded, Skipper." Declared his weapons officer.
The Captain nodded in acknowledgement. He studied the surface ship and agreed with his officers that it was a Ottoman Dreadnought. He looked at his watch, then back at the periscope again.
"Prepare to fire in 3 minutes." He said.
He studied his watch untill it was time.
"Fire."
***
U-139 along with 20 other U-boats fired off 2 torpedeos at their targets.

Kristiansand
Casualties: 750 Men
The SWEDISH Forces (No Ottoman troops there!) Consolidated the postion where they had broken the Norwegian lines. MG's were set up on the old Norwegian trenches to hold off the Norwegian counter strike.
OOC: I've been bombarding you artillery postions and there are no casualties there....
Oslo
Casualties: 900 Men
The Ottoman Mark 1 Tanks and the Swedish infantry pushed on over the trenches. The Tanks and the remaining armored cars led the way across the trenches they continued to fire opon the Machine Guns which were already suppressed. The Swedish troops charged the Norwegians firing opon the trenches and preparing for close combat. Artillery was called in again to stike the Norwegian artillery.
OOC: Same again your artillery is being bombarded and yet no casualties so really I can't count any attacks on tanks until you post casualties or effect of my bombardments then I can edit the casualties.
Oslo Bay
The Swedish fleet was in a state of panic torpedos had struck them. It was unknown who had done this but it made the coastal guns and the fleeing Norwegian ships the least of their worries.
Casualties: 4 Cruisers, 2 Destroyers and 1 Dreadnought Sunk or crippled from the torpedo strike. 3 Destroyers and 2 Cruisers lightly damaged.
The Swedish navy had 2 choices stay and hunt out the subs or flee the area and regroup. Not knowing who the strike had come from was a major worry. The Norwegians didn't have submarines and it could only have been the Germans, British or Russians that made the attack. Assuming the Germans were behind the attack the Swedish navy made an attempt to withdraw to Kristiansand. SOS's were sent out and would hopefully be recieved by the Moscow Pact allies.

The Greek Communication personal sat at their wireless. The sweden SOS's they where picking up and also the part about the Submarines and the torpedos. They quickly transmitted towards oth MP HQs.
The Greek Planes left in port where scrambled and are ordered to bomb the water inself and the fuses are set to blow up as they hit the water. Not knowing how deep the bay was hurt this effort really bad.
Supplies from Greek trucks finally arrive. /They where deylayed for a long time. They had to make it acoss land scape by Rail and road. The roads where bad and many of the trucks had broken down and are scattered across Sweden, Ottoman Empire and Russia. Less the a quarter of the supplies needed arrived and it was late at that.
Within this shipment was crates of Ammunition several machineguns fiat parts, gasoline and rifles. They are stuck in nine diffrent supply dumps around the city. Airplan parts are unloaded at several of the airfields that the greeks are using.
Back at home a single submarine is making it's way toward sweden. It will stop in several places to refuel and then it will continue on it's way. This Submarine carries TNT. Almost 100 pounds of it.
OCC: I do not suspect the random bombing could even hurt a submarine. This is just an effort to do somthing about it.
IC:
"How do we stop Submarines?" a Sargent asks an officer.
"Don't know"' The officer replied
"We could use TNT" A near dowell soldier replies
"TNT doesn't work under water" the sargent remarks.
"It would in a water tight container" The officer pounders
"Get me a medal barrel and some TNT" the officer orders
At this time the officer and the two other soldiers are going to try to put togeather a crude anti submarine bomb. They way it works is this:
Half of a water tight metal barrel is filled with TNT. Then with a 3 minute fuse. The top is stuck on and then it is thrown from the side of the ship. The barrel would sink and then blow up. Only on the drawing board. Also a ramp with a puklly system is on the drawing board.

Supply Route to the city:
The supplies where stuck in the mountain passes. They where muddy and many of the trucks got stuck. The mud clang to their tires like glue. Only 2 arrived at the city so 1,000 calvary was dispatched to go get some of the supplies. They carry only 3 days food and their rifle with all their ammunition.
The truck crews tried to dig themselves out. The guards and some of the crew unload the rifles and some of the ammo and everyone is armed. Half of the truck crews work on getting the trucks out as half of the other guys join the guards. 100 Trucks where stuck in this pass and the Greeks neede the supplies.
Total Supply Force:
200 Truck crewmen
800 Guards
OCC: The reason that I am posting this is incase of an attack.
In the city:
200 Military Builders are taking the liberty of trying to rebuild parts of the city. They take peices from the rubble to do this along with nearby trees.
50 will work on the port
ET: 12 months
75 will work on the Rail lines
ET: 12 months
75 will work on the Fuel Depots
ET: 3 weeks

OOC: I thought I told you people that we're only using things that existed during WWI. If you would have spent RL weeks researching a bomb like this, then mabey, just mabey I'd let you do something like this and strech the rules a bit. But come on, instantly? By the time you invent this bomb, make it, and put a bunch of them in a sub, and send that sub to Norway, the battle would be done.

OCC:
Exactly I know I didn't say I had them it was kind of a hint to Great Britian to get his ass in gear and research Depth Charges. It was 3 soldiers taking about how you could do it and what they are designing I don't even have navy there. A medal barrel with 3 minutes to put a lid on and throw it in the water. My navy is more valuble then that. Yes Depth charges where invented in 1917 by the british. They where a canister with explosives and a depth guage. They where very crappy and didn't do that much at all.
The TNT in the submarines will be used incase of tanks. A tank has only a few milimeters of armor and less on the bottom.

OOC: I wasn't talking about depth charges. I was talking about your new "TNT" one. And I was talking about how the Greeks dont have one, so that would mean you have to either buy depth charges from someone else, or research them and take a long long time.

Yeah I don't have them. It was just 3 soldiers talking on how to do it. I can't think of how to make a barrel water tight. You know how wew come up with some crazy ideas. If it did infact get use I would have the first crew blown up and sink the ship.
