Kristiansand
The Ottoman/Swedish Fleet was currently firing opon Norwegian artillery postions in Kristiansand. They had heard of the attacks on the Swedish fleet at Oslo Bay but had been ordered to send a few more barrages opon the Norwegians before any action should be taken... They shouldn't have presumed the Germans wouldn't have struck early. The torpedos stuck the ships at the edge of the fleet sending a wave of hysteria intially across the fleet.
Losses: Swedish 3 Battlecruisers 1 Battleship Lightly Damaged
Ottoman Empire 1 GALLIPOLI Class Destroyer 1 GALLIPOLI Class Destroyer Lightly Damaged
The Ottoman/Swedish fleet knew a retreat of 'tactical withdrawal' was abandoning the fleet at Oslo so prepared to take on the German U-Boats. The lead Dreadnought and Battleships began the shelling of the U-Boats along with the rest of the fleet, however 1 battlecruiser was given the task of gathering escaping crewmembers of the other Swedish fleet. Reguardless of whether it would destroy it or not was irrelevant at least it could suppress their fire....

OOC: Sorry 'bout taking so long to post, wanted to see the Naval end with Germany resolved first.
Oslo
Hand to hand fighting is fierce in the trenches. In close range even the lighter weapons of the volunteer militia are deadly. The remaining field guns fire straight ahead, over the top of the trenches. Scatter shot is fired at the next wave of troops the trench work. Those few mortar positions which are not tied down in the fighting fire up at the tanks as they prepare to come over the top.
Losses: 300 Infantry, 500 Civilian Troops, 3 Mortars
Kiristiansand
The Norweigian troops are penned down. Some manage to make a run for it, using cover fire and grenades, making it into better firing positions however. The ones closer to the trench attempt to get some grenades over the top to silence the MG fire. The artillery changes positions and begins returning the fire from the Ottoman navy, though it is likely they do not have the range. The major fort at the port opens fire with it's own coastal guns, but they lack the numbers that they had at Oslo.
Losses: 50 Civilian Troops, 50 Infantry

Oslo
The fighting was fierce but the Swedish would prevail. The Ottoman Tanks now had overrun the Norwegian trenches completely and 10 were sent toward artillery postions as the other 10 were swung around to fire opon any open Norwegians. Artillery was fired opon the Norwegian counterparts as the Tanks approached it. The Swedish infantry continued to fire opon the Norwegians until they were all inside the trenches and engaging the Norwegian army and civilians. The artillery and mortars was only going to kill Norwegians as well as the Swedish so they fought on severly outnumbering them.
Casualties: 750 Men
Kristansand
The Swedish weren't going to be stopped by a few grenades and rifle shots they continued to return hails of bullets from the rifles and Mg's opon the Norwegians. THey only had to wait a short while before 20 Mark 1 Tanks would arrive from Sweden...
Casualties: 35 Men

Oslo
Norwiegian infantry and mortars fired for as long as they could at the invading tanks. The troops fought bravely, until the steel behomeths came over the top. They fired desperatly at it, having little effect. Not knowing what else to do they begin to retreat from the trench their defensive positions fallen. They move closer towards the city, taking up positons on a series of ancient breastworks next to the field artillery. The artillery commanders open fire into the trenches with scatter shot and trebuchets fire into the trenches as the troops leave, firing what ever they have, mostly stone debris and rotting corpses of live stock. The artillery fire kill Norwieigan troops, but it is a calculated risk for the death of even more Ottomans is certain. In a desperate move the remaining battleship in the bay is moved into port, and using observation balloons for targetting, starts to reign down heavily on the line, hoping specifically to take out the tanks.
Losses: 1,000 Infantry, 500 Civilian
Kristansand
Using the night, and cover fire, steadily the troops regain some orginization and manage to get closer to the Ottoman position. A little after two in the morning, the plan goes into place. During the night gasoline is moved in by hand towards the trenches. A few of the soldiers, crawl through the no-man's land on the dark night, taking full advantage of the cover. They open the gasoline cans and throw them at suspected machine gun positions and munitions stores within the trenches, followed by matches. The explosion is the signal, as the forces rise up and again try to charge the trench. Grenades and suppresive fire is laid down to pin the remaining machine gun positions. The remainder of the troops fire forward at the Turkish troops, silloutted against the flames that bring light to the darkness of night.
Losses: 25 Infantry, 30 Civilian

Oslo
The trench was won and the postion was consolidated by Maxim MG's. The Swedish would continue there assualt opon Oslo soon enough but for now they must hold back. All captured Norwegians were sent to the secondary lines and the 10 new Mark 1 Tanks were called in the support the attack. The Norwegian counter-artillery would undoubtably hit the Swedish hard but they would silence it in time the 29 Mark 1 Tanks would continue the advance with 5,000 Swedish troops towards the artillery postions in Olso. Swedish Artillery was also ordered to fire opon the mortars.
Casualties: 1500 Men and 1 Mark1 Tank disabled
Kristiansand
The flames were fierce and some SWEDISH troops were killed in them. However the Norwegians stood no chance of hitting a major ammo store or Machine Guns points in the extreme darkness. Nonetheless 1 Mg was caught in the flames and the soldier manning it helplessly engulfed in the flames. The Norwegian attack was expected again and the Swedish readied their rifles and MG's the suppressive fire held back a few Machine Guns from firing but many opened fire opon the Norwegians along with the rifles. The flames may have lit up some postions but it wasn't going to stop the Swedish's next move. The 20 Mark 1 Tanks sent by the Ottoman Empire rolled onto the battlefield and advanced opon the Norwegian postions and fired opon them. Artillery was recalled in to fire opon the Norwegian counter parts but the occupied Ottoman/Swedish navy couldn't make the call.
Casualties:100 Men and 2 Maxim MG's damaged

Oslo
Desrtion of troops is high, along with the deaths caused by the trenches. Positions are consolidated on the ancient breastworks outside the city. Fox holes are dug, trebuchets continue to fire. The mortars are lost, and the remaining field artillery is targetted at the tanks. The infantry takes defensive firing positions and open fire on the advancing troops. What calvary remains has been dismounted and added to the ranks of infantry, their remaining horses no longer able to attend to duty. In the city itself all warm bodied men are being armed with what ever is at hand and muesems and old armories are being broken open for every available weapon. They are forming a second defensive position behind the current one. They are armed with all manner of civilian weapons, as well as old black powder and melee weapons of all descriptions. Old black powder artillery pieces are called into service.
Remaing Troops: 3,500 infantry, 43 field artillery Second Line: Still Forming
Kristiansand
The charge is shattered by the Ottoman forces. Half of the attack charges over the top, engaging in melee combat. The other half is stopped cold by the tanks, firing at them. Some forces try to retreat, some forces try to physically charge or jump on the tank, attacking it with wrenches and other implements of destruction. The remaing artillery returns fire on the Ottomans, though most of the shells land wide, unable to find their proper targets. The calvary, utterly confused, go ahead and charges through the holes in the line, around the tanks, headed for the trenches.
Remaining Troops: 2,000 Infantry, 1,000 Cavalry, 12 artillery pieces

Following Sweden's return I cede control back to him also the Mark 1 Tanks in the Norwegian campaign are under his control for this time. The Ottoman Naval assets will continue under my control.
