Some of the Highlander Divisons in Arnoy are being transfered to Nagasaki due to the Spartan Military's involvement this will leave two of the Higlander dvisions in Arnoy. Also reinforcements intended for Arnoy will be split up between Arnoy and Nagasaki.

ooc: you can't say that your troops are already fighting
the partisan forces in the city, chill and rp one step at a
time.
ic:
Recon planes spot the fleet heading for Nagasaki, the
Whole Japanese fleet is diverted to fight them, but they
will arrive far to late to stop the invasion.
The whole civilian population has been evacuated and
trains have arrived with arms, booby traps and cord
controled explosives and granades placed in the shores
10 large mines are infront of the shores for anti landing
vessel purposes.
3 cars pulled by a train with a total of 9 3,9" guns have
arrived these are just with in range of the sea district.
the Partisan force totals 50.000 and 2 Infantry divisions
are aviable.
when the British begin their bombardment a battery of
12 14" coastal artillery pieces fires back at them.
more inland are 2 16" guns, and at both the
peninsulaias facing the British are batteries of 5 14"
guns.
Japanese intellegence had warned of the attack and
there for some artillery pieces had been shipped to
Nagasaki. and mines had been placed off nagasaki
where enemy ships were believed to position
themselves.
The 1st partisan artillery division has deployed in
Nagasaki, along with 5 other partisan artillery divisions
(operating about 30 mortars each)
behind a hill 10 12" mortars waited for landing vessels
to arrive so they could rain fire on them.
The Japanese fleet is 50km west of Izumi (you don't
know of it) 20 Farman seaplanes also attack the british
vessels with airborne torpedoes.

The Two divisions from Formosa are being moved up to off the coast of Nagasaki, supported by 8 Lisbon Cruisers, 4 Izmail Cruisers, 2 Revel Battleships, and the one Levithian Super Dreadnaught. They will move outside of Shimonoseki and await further orders. In the meantime the battleships will shell Kitakyusu, and the roads leading into Shimonoseki.

the Japanese guns had remained silent, recon planes had
discovered the fleet erlier. The observers started giving in
distances and then on the island:
20 15" Coastal artillery pieces opened fire
20 14" Artillery pieces also
not forgetting 10 16" Artillery pieces
on the Korean side a similar number of guns opened fire
20 torpedoe boats left shores and made a raid when the
firing started.

Ooc: Okay two things. One isn't most of your navy up fightingup north? Two you seem to have a lot of gun emplacements.
The Transports from Arnoy reach Nagasaki with the 2 divisions and some Mortar divisions. The Highlanders see the Artillery Gun placements and advance that way. While the Mortars go straight towards the Front line.
Learning that most of the civilains have already evacuated Britain adopts a "Scorched Earth" Policy. With the British began engiting fires to flush out the Japanese Partisans into the open and fill them with lead. The new Policy also means the mortars may start shelling liberally on enemy positions. Men began throwing self-made grenades at the Japanese troops.
The Gun Emplacements really hurt the British fleet but enough stand to return fire right back at the gun emplacements. The Cruisers spot the Japanes Farman planes and open fire ripping many to shreads but some for their torpedoes hit but luckily most just a couple of the crusiers.
Casualties:
45+ British Marines.
1 Destoryer turrents
1 Badly damaged Destroyer
1 minimally damaged Battleship turrent
2 fairly damaged Dreanought

All coastal shells landed safely 20km away from the Portugese Ship... since coastal 14" to 16" guns will not have that kind of range... And technically Im going through the Thushima Straight to get to Kitakyusu. And yet still, your guns would not have the range even if I went through the Straight of Korea.
The japs were trying once more to damage the Portugese ships with Torpedo... hadn't they learned their lession before hand? The 5", 6", 7", 8.5", 10.5", 12", 14", and 16" guns of the Fleet all outdistanced the range of the Torpedo boats, a withering hail of shell fire shattering into the Torpedo Boat lines. A few torpedo's came at the ships, and were destroyed by small arms fire (30mm+).
