Immediately after the declaration of war on Siam, the Dutch military launch its attack. Thousands of troops enter the rowing boats and begin to head towards the beaches of Siam. It is expected that there will not be an army located on the beaches by the time the men land, but at this point, anything could happen. The invasion will happen in 10 waves. 20,000 men per wave. It is expected that it will take an 3 hours (RL, 10 or so minutes) for each wave to land in Siam. OOC: Not a very detailed map, but it was the best I could find.

OOC: Siam
On word of the declaration of war, the Siam King, not completely surprised due to the Dutch warships on his coast, declared an immediate mobilization. Though they may not have the best trained men, or the best weapons, they do have one thing, the jungle.

OOC: Netherlands
IC: The forces land on the beach about 200 miles from Bangkok. They meet small resistance, mostly scouts. Though a small skirmish takes place, where a group of Siamese shot at Dutch troops as they got onto the beach. Though their accuracy was poor, accuracy wasn't exactly needed when there were masses of troops. The Dutch forces secure the area around the beach and await further orders.
Meanwhile, the next group of 20,000 is sent to a beach to the north of Singapore.
Casualties: 4 Dutch Soldiers
3 Siamese Soldiers.

IC: As the second force landed, they were met by a group of Siamese troops hiding in the forests nearby. As the soldiers advanced onto the beach, the Siamese fired upon the troops. Taking casualties, the Dutch forces charged foward, eventually reaching up with the Siamese and fishing them out of their spot. A few Siamese troops surrendered. After the beach was taken, a HQ was created.
The third wave is beginning and will land at the first beach head.

The fourth wave lands without many problems. There are, however, an increasingly large number of guerilla warriors in the nearby jungles and mountains of both beach heads. There have been minor skirmishes and ambushes on Dutch scout parties, but mostly the damage only pricked the Dutch Army, nothing more serious.
The boat are sent back, and another wave is prepared.
Casualties: Skirmishes Main - 13 Skirmishes Secondary - 5

The fifth wave arrives at the main beach head. The soldiers are piled out, though quite sick from the journey. Meanwhile, the skirmishes begin to grow throughout Siam as more and more men take up arms against the Dutch invaders.
The sixth wave is planned to open another beach head against the Siamese forces. They will land at a beach about 50 miles off of the French Indochina border.
Casualties: 28 - Main 15 - Secondary

As the sixth wave was beginning to land on the unsecured beach head, a group of Siamese soldiers stood ready to fire. The Siam King had authorized in giving them one of the few Siam machine guns for this attack. So thus, they waited. When the Dutch troops hit the beach and began moving upwards, a few Siam snipers fired off with their rifles. The rest of the Siam force waited until the Dutch troops got a bit closer before firing off their muskets and machine gun.
The first line of Dutch troops fell, but more and more came. After an hour of serious fighting on the beach, the Dutch troops finally flushed out the last of the ambushers. However, a few Siamese managed to escape with the machine gun.
The seventh wave will arrive at the main beach front.
Casualties - Dutch: Third Beach - 1,281 Skirmishes Main - 15 Skirmishes Secondary - 4
Casualties - Siamese: Third Beach - 791

With the seventh wave arriving on the main beach, the Dutch generals began to plan for an attack on Bangkok. The Dutch forces currently on the main beach was around 100,000 soldiers. After hours of argueing, they came up with a solution. The main force would attack Bangkok, while the other fronts would begin to work its way through Siam, 'liberating' the cities and forcing the Siam army to split. The plan would be carried out in two days. (1 RL hour.)
Meanwhile, the eighth wave arrived at the third beach. The nineth wave would load the men off at the second beach.

The attack finally commenced. The main assault force of 100,000 men began to move throughout the Siamese jungles to get to Bangkok. While crossing through the jungles, countless skirmishes and ambushes appeared, taking the loss of many soldiers.
The second force began to march north, arriving at small villages. and defeating any enemy force there. The same with the third force.
After an hour of marching through to the next city, the third assault force was hit by a major ambush on all sides. The Dutch lines staggered and fell. Machine guns had been brought in to use in the ambush, and caused major damage against the Dutch. After a minute of chaos, the Dutch forces began to reorganize and strike back at the ambushers. Dutch machine guns were deployed and began to mow down the Siamese that were located throughout the jungle. Dutch troops fired at anything that moved. Finally, the last ambusher was slain, but the cost of effects of the ambush were huge. Over 25% of the force was killed.
The last wave will be sent to the third beach head, to reinforce them for the losses they took.
Casualties - Dutch: Main Force - 318 Second Force - 719 Third Force - 5,081
Casualties - Siamese: Skirmishes - 391 Ambush - 3,918
