Send the bombers in and the fighter to take out the Light Warships. Tell them to do it quickly and safely, avoiding long engagements. If they have AA, retreat back. Have the fleet ready to stand by in case this happens. Send the infantry and the tanks, waiting on the outside of the east settlement. Have the missile infantry attack the helos, and move in the support to artillery range. Have towed flak open fire on the choppers, and bombard the east settlement with artillery.

What do you mean by this?

Bomb the warships, until they die. If they have anti-air weapons, GTFO and head to take out the Medium tanks.

URS air forces are nearing missile range of Light Warships when one of the pilots radios to the others, "don't frigates specialize in anti-air and counter-missile defense?" "You're quite right about that," another agrees, so they drop counter measures and break off the attack. Missiles follow them like angry bees, but make no hits.

URS navy reaches range of independent light warships...

They advance to the edge of the east settlement without problems.

The helicopter patrol is near the east settlement when it notices the URS forces approaching. It spreads word of the attack and attempts to disrupt the advancing forces. URS Missile Infantry fight Independent Attack Helicopters in 4v4 fight while flak unpacks from its truck.
Missile infantry's view of, and view from the helicopters is obscured by foliage since they're in a forest, but both sides shoot at each other a lot and manage to score hits.
Attack Helicopters retreat to their armored column.
(2/5th Missile Infantry lost. 2/5th Attack Helicopter destroyed)

Flak is busy unloading from truck and setting itself up.

Support group is within reasonable artillery range of east settlement, and artillery opens fire. The shells rain down on the undefended settlement, destroying homes, and killing civilians.

Missile infantry should continue firing on the helos. Light Tanks should move to attack the armored column, with bomber support. Infantry should move in to secure the eastern settlement. Gather the civvies in the town center, and kill any military personnel on sight unless they surrender. Have the navy open up on the enemy ships. Also, send a message to all opponents by radio, asking them to surrender or else.

Infantry moves to and secures the eastern settlement. They herd the civilians to the center of the settlement. There is no independent military presence in the settlement.

Missile Infantry fire at the fleeing helicopters, but they hit trees and open sky.

10 Light Tanks move up and engage the independent column, which has deployed into a battle-ready formation and unloaded from transports by now because the helicopters warned them.
URS Bombers drop their payload around them but can't see their targets very well. They confuse the independents and deal minor casualties. While they are occupied by bombers, the URS light tanks attack. Independent forces return fire and both sides' tanks are inconvenienced by the trees. Independent Assault Infantry uses hand-held rockets, and tries climbing URS tanks and throwing grenades in. They have mixed results. Independent medium tanks and APCs are severely outnumbered, but fight hard while they last. The artillery does poorly at close range, and their crews rout. The remaining Assault Infantry surrender.
(Destoryed 1 medium tank, 1 APC, 2 Assault Infantry, 2 Towed Gun Artillery. Surrendered to URS: 1 Assault Infantry, 5 Trucks. Lost 4 Light Tanks.)

URS destroyer fires cruise missiles at independent frigates. Both sides' frigates attack each other.
(Destroyed 2 Light Warships. URS was Damaged: 1 Light Warships. Lost 1 Light Warship.)
[Light Warship and Frigate is the same thing. label however you want.]

No radio response yet.

Leave 2 Assault Infantry behind to guard the Civvies. Bring the damaged frigate in and have the support infantry repair it. Have all remaining troops move in to the south settlement. Place the artillery just within range of the city, and fire on any military presence. Each Medic should go with a group of two assault infantry, and clear all buildings, again rounding up the civilians and killing anyone who refuses to cooperate or surrender.

Because the independents have only 4 Attack Helicopters left, the pilots of said helicopters flee to Finland and seek asylum. The remaining independents surrender.

You captured: 5 trucks, 1 Assault Infantry.
You may decide what to do with the captured soldiers and vehicles/crews.

You lost: 2/5th Missile Infantry, 4 Light Tanks

You have gained a territory: Scandinavia 05.

Infrastructure: None

Military: None

Offer the truckers and infantry jobs and citizenship, or they may flee abroad if they wish. The citizens shall have all damages paid, and be given the same offer. They may also choose to remain peacefully.

Ask to meet those who attempted to fire on the URS plane.

2 Trucks and their operators join the URS military.
The others take their vehicles and leave the territory, along with the assault infantry. They are hired by a neighboring independent state as mercenaries.

The civilians have no where else to go, so they stay.

URS command is informed that the SAMs were fired from the independent frigates, which were both sunk.

If the civilians do not care if we place them as a territory of the URS, (but exempt from URS taxes, able to make their own laws and have their own government, but be forced to build any buildings or things we tell them[up to a limit]to) then mark them as a territory. If 2/3 don't want us there at all, and want to be left to fend for themselves, let them.

The people of Scandinavia 05 hold a meeting.

"We must get out of the rule of these URS people who attack us! They cannot be allowed to gain from their war." some say

"With no military, we are left open to attack from anyone, though. Perhaps we should take what we are offered." other say

the debate rages.

Send in Yuverzenitiki (diplomat character) to persuade them to join us.

Yuverzenitiki enters the meeting and tries to make himself heard. "People, your nation has been bested by another. Clearly the URS is a stronger nation, one you could be proud to be members of. Join us and be part of Scandinavia! Not just Independent Territory Region Number. You have an opportunity to be part of a larger world!"

"Who asked him to come? We should kill him!" Some people cry in response. "Throw out his guts and give back his skull!"

"No! We must not provoke the URS, anyway, he speaks interesting ideas..."

"Let's just ignore him. He has no voice in these matters anyway!"

"That may be true, but I want my country to have a name."

"We can make up a name for ourselves!!!"

((Your diplomat can talk again if he wants))

Have him keep talking.

srsly nothing specific you want to say or cover?


I could have him tell them that he wants to kill their mothers and it would be okay

Tell him to just keep convincing them to join me.

Yuverzenitiki continues, "Good people of Scandinavia, you should join up with United Scandinavia Republics. We are a union of united unity and we believe in the unification of Scandinavia. That is why our forces-" He is cut off.

"URS forced attacked civilians!"
"The URS bombs our villages!"
"He speaks for the URS."
"CRUCIFY HIM!"
"No, we cannot harm him, a noncombatant. If we take that first step, we will be no better than they are. We have but one choice: Defiance. We declare ourselves free of the URS, and if the respond with force, we will still be free, we will disobey them. We will fight them. We will make their occupation hell. But first, we must attempt to resolve the situation peacefully." The speaker points to Yuverzenitiki, "You! Tell your masters that we will be no one's slaves. This nation is free!"

"We will give ourselves a name!"
"And will call this land... Kola!"
"Yes!"
"Kola! Kola! Kola! Kola! Kola!"

"Oh? And who will defend this nation? You have no special exports, you have no military! What will you do when someone such as EE 10 decides to invade? The URS will not help you."

Yuverzenitiki is drowned out by the chanting.

"Kola! Kola! Kola! Kola! Kola! Kola! Kola!"

All URS troops (and the diplo) pull out.

And thus, Kola declares itself to the world...
