[Legobuilder123 24]

For me if this is real I would love to live in suburbia right beside Centeburg

[Simbourgeois 139]

Very nice suburbs! I like the idea of having a train going through the area, however I wouldn't like to live near it...

Keep up the great work!

Best regards,

Simbourgeois

ooOOooh!

Centerburg looks like pitts burgh! (not the buildings, but the peninsula)

[Follarch 327]

Nice newspaper! Airline's growing and your CJ is getting more standing in the AIN union.

Sounds like very good, progressive news.

[TekindusT 3,809]

I love seeing newspapers on CJ's! I agree with the simtropolitans above, I think a more characteristic font type would provide more personality to your paper, but it is a great first attempt!

[SounderBruce 173]

Nice news! Congrats on the ability to host the inaugural AIN Alliance Games! Boo...I like Hitler parodies on Youtube!

Sunrise in Centreburg is the beginning of the rush hour in the morning. Trains run, cars clog up the roads, commuters get packed like sardies in buses, but for some areas, tranquility reigns.

Colonial-era townhouses sit quiet at the traditionally crazy period between 7am-9am.

Nearby, meanwhile, Government Square is still quiet as well. Traffic is light around this area.

Our tour of Centreburg has ended. Most of the city has been explored, most of the sights seen. But, before leaving, we'll stop by the new Centreburg

Hamish K. Johanson Ice Hockey Arena, where Corraile won Aleksania 4-2 to qualify for the Alliance Cup 2010.

The final destination? The train station, where we will get on board the Airport shuttle and head for, well, Centreburg Gateway International Airport.

From there, we'll be going to Freedo, Fairman Island District, Corraile.

Thanks for stopping by, and do remember to join in our tour! 

[Simbourgeois 139]

Yes, only the privileged upper class bourgeoisie can afford to get up late in the morning...

Nice update

Best regards,

Simbourgeois

No.10 - A shock to all Corrailians

Simbourgeois - That's true.

penguin007 - Thanks

Today's newspaper came as a shock to most citizens, especially those residing in Fairman Island.

 

[SounderBruce 173]

Uh oh...I smell war! Nice city tour and train station, congrats on the AIN Cup.

[Follarch 327]

Looks like the Fairman Island Republic wants to get back their land that's being held by Corraile.

"SimTropolis...Nothing like a war to bring out the CJer in you."

[Hester 700]

Looks great! I'm glad I found this.

No.11 - The final straw

ComputerGuy890100 -  That's a sensitive nose you've got there. Thanks too!

Archean - Yeah... The new guy wants his land back. And yes, I agree with that statement

Hester - Thanks!

It was 0900 local time in Centreburg, when Parliament first began.

First to make his presence felt was the new Defence Minister, Stan Lee. Stan is the first Asian in the cabinet since 1999, when the current president, Kelvin Chuan, was first appointed as Minister of Trade and Economy. His job was already a demanding one, and now compounded by the threat to the East.

All those present in Parliament today debated the hot-button topic of the war.

Said Stan Lee ,"The security of our people and our freedom are at serious stake here, and we would lose our valuable interests in Fairman Island. Already a preliminary vote has concluded that 95% of Corraile citizens on the island do not wish to be under the control of Fairman Island."

Minister of Foreign Affairs Jeremy Camewather also joined in the debate, opposing Stan. 

"Why isn't there the possibility of a peace talk?"

"I'm afraid their leader, Devon Savage, has denied any peace talks with Corraile. He demands an unconditional transfer of power in Fairman Island to him."

The debate continued until around 1530 hours, when a military officer entered the hall with important news.

Warrant Officer James McConnoly was out of breath, but spoke into the microphone.

"I apologise for having to interrupt this parliamentary debate, but we have just gotten word that 2 Corrailian passenger jets were blown up while bypassing Fairman Island. Almost simultaneously, the invasion force divided itself into two and is now striking both Freedo and Fairport."

Corraile is now at war.

Do remember to stop by our tour comment on the war and suggest improvements.

[SounderBruce 173]

Well, you are in war, and my nation totally backs you! Also, I suggest you remove all the PedMalls from the leftmost tile in that Parliament complex and replace it completely with seasonal trees.

[Follarch 327]

Passenger!? They commit war crimes before the war even starts!

This treachery demands retaliation!

[kccl35 83]

The incurson began, precisely timed to follow after the airplane bombings. The strike forces moved in two directions, with efficient and ruthless tactics. Like the Germans in WWII, the attack's advantage came from precision and spee. Thankfully, the Corraile Armed Forces had begun to ship troops, equipement and other war-winning paraphernalia into Fairman Island. 

Generally, the defence forces held their ground, with heavy losses to both sides. Corraile had 192 fallen men whereas Fairman Island had 211. Much equipment was also destroyed.

Tanks burning away just after a few hours of combat.

Fierce battles in heavily forested areas resulted in huge losses and forest fires.

Isolated forest fires still burned away even after fighting slackened.

Corraile's "Saboteur Force", the 116th Company, destroyed many supply trains in enemy territory.

That's all for now... But the fighting never ceases until one side surrenders.

[SounderBruce 173]

Woah! War starts! Like the use of fire! Can't wait for more!

[Follarch 327]

Just glad that this fighting was out in the wilderness, isolated.

The chaos starts when tanks start rolling down city streets and shells explode buildings.

wow, I'm watching this CJ!

No.13 - The siege, part 1

ComputerGuy890100 - Yeah, war starts! Thak you

Archean - Street fighting is inevitable in this case...

Mountain Dew - Thank you

With only a fraction of what the enemy could throw, Corraile forces fell back to the stronghold of Fairport, the large city to the south of the island. The plan was to stock up and mount a forceful counterattack.

Also, to lure the enemy in, more troops were sent back up north to Freedo.

Intending to ambush the Corraile forces at Fairport, General Thomas Durman of the Fairman Island Expeditionary Force decided to move into position at night.

Little did he know his forward troops, along with most of their equipment, would be the ambushed.

Who ambushed them? The CNV Burnley, an AEGIS-equipped battlecruiser, who had received a tipoff about the advance and left the Fairport Naval Base to eliminate the threat.

Fighting was inevitable, though, and in the next morning, the rest of the attacking forces met up with Corraile forces, who managed to stop their advance. At least for now.

With fewer weapons and troops, it was surprising that the battle had ended in a stalemate. With that, both forces ceased fighting for the day.

No. 14 - Operation Floatbomb

Replies

None 

---

Despite the Fairman Islanders gaining more control of Corraile land, Corraile's Air Force was more than a match for the enemy's capabilities. The Air Force used this realization to their advantage.

Operation Floatbomb was launched, with 4 F-16s armed with Air-to-air missiles and 2 of the navy's F/A-18s carrying both XAGMs (Air-to-ground) and precision bombs. The main target was the naval base at Whitehart.

The force met with little opposition in the air, and not a single pilot was lost.

Down on the ground, though, it was a different story.

A Laser-guided precision bomb hit the target with precision, striking the main barracks and naval stores.

The returning flight managed to capture the end result of the air strike. The pilots then went back to safe airspace in triumph.

In total, 522 naval hands were lost.

Citizenships

Even in the heat of war, the Ministry of Immigrations and Citizenships is accepting applications.

The bombing appears to be a big success. Good work on the latest update.

[Dumanios 35]

Woah.
