Quick Combat Round 3
Note to all
On the eve of a mass buildup of American forces, Turkey was pushed and cajoled by the Americans into slowing its plans, for now, for the reconquest of Armenia, and at least talking with Armenia about ending the conflict. It helped that America had just provided Turkey with a massive military aid package. Armenia appears willing to accept given the progress on the front had stalled and the majority of the once numerous Russian forces in Armenia have left for Russian territory neighboring Armenia, but these Russian forces have been considerably reinforced. An estimated 50 Divisions of units of all types belonging to the Russian Federation are poised to rejoin the conflict on a moments notice.
However, the conference, set in the middle of No-man’s land, was struck by a poison gas. Among many others, the Turkish President and much of his cabinet were at least wounded. The nerve agent used has been identified as a type manufactured by Russia. The situation is rapidly developing, but it looks like the gas was delivered by a flight of Armenian planes which managed to penetrate the conference zone. The Armenian government denies everything and is specifically asking the German government to intervene and take up peacekeeping positions between the two sides.
With the Turkish President and much of his cabinet out of the picture for a while, there appears to be a breakdown in the Turkish high command, about ½ of the units immediately attacking Armenian positions, and achieving surprising success, the other 1/2 somewhat staying in place. Some of the attacking Turkish units are engaging in reprisal actions or systematic ethnic cleansing operation against local Armenian populations, while others not. It largely seems to depend on the local commanders and their control over their troops.

The Virtue of the Vicious
Tonight on ‘What the World Wants, with Roberta Valantino’ - Live, Only on AmeriLink, two survivors of the apparent Armenian WMD attack on the peace conference at Bagaran exclusively tell us their stories
(36 hours earlier)
Turkish Air Defence HQ - Armenian Sector
<“Sir, we have blips closing on the western edge of the exclusion zone around the conference”>
<“Steady on soldier”>
Akçay Polat (A man wearing a severe suit with a Turkish flag pin on the lapel) :
“I was with the members of the Presidential guard, stood at the edge of the compound. Everyone was waiting for the Armenians to arrive for the last of the talks.
Hugo Hernandez (A young man wearing the uniform of a US Marine):
“The captain was stood with the Turkish President and the Secretary of State. Dress uniform, the whole kit and kaboodle. It was supposed to be the conclusion of negotiations, and it had been going well. No one was really expecting any kind of fight, no one had their MOPP gear to hand, certainly not the captain in his dress uniform.
(36 hours earlier)
USMC 1st Corps - Armenian/Turkish border - Bagaran
“TacCom reports incoming fastmovers! Bearing West, closing fast!”
“Get the VIPs out now! - Get the Cars started NOW!”
“Incoming!”
“Jesus fuck! GAS! GAS! GAS!”
“Holy mother! N!B!C! GEAR NOW!”
Screams of pain
“Val! C’mon man, C’mon, get it on yourself NOW, Move it Marine!”
“Leave him! Get the VIPs out NOW!”
A P: It was chaos, people started clawing at their faces on the other side of the compound. Then one of the American Marines started running towards our end of the compound screaming ‘Gas! Gas!’”
H H: Someone on the detail managed to dig their stuff out and pass it to the Sec State - one of the Turks did the same for their VIP. Some of us didn’t get it on quite in time and had limited exposure - most of us didn’t get the MOPP on at all, the rest of us tried to get it on them, but they just kept clawing at their mouths, the captain was screaming…. We tried but all we ended up doing was hold hold them down as they died”
(36 hours earlier)
USMC 1st Corps - Armenian/Turkish border - Convoy heading towards Turkey
“No artillery yet…. If they were waiting to hit us then not follow up?”
“Sammy, get HQ on the TacNet! Sitrep!- How’re the VIPs doing!?”
“Sec State got few good lung fulls, Docs treating him now - says he’ll pull through with some lung scarring”
“And the Turkish President!?”
“Looks like his detail was on the ball on this one - some exposure but less than our guy - they trusted them less”
“Good reason by the looks of it”
“They’re on Sir… I’ve got half of our guys and all of the Turks screaming at us wanting to know what’s going on”
“Oh, this is going to be fun….”
H H: “We got into some of the vehicles and bugged out, called it in just in time to have a plane smash in front of us after getting hit by Turkish AA. We’re just lucky the Turks had our back in taking out those Armenians- we never expected it - we had to make a dash back to the lines - we didn’t know if we were going to get shelled or something - all bets were off!
A P: “The Americans brought out my President to the motorcade- they came running towards us wearing gas masks. There were so few of them left. There were supposed to be quite a few press with them, very few made it out. Some of their recordings did though, one of them was even broadcasting live to Link - the world was watching them die there…

The Signal is Strong
"Free flow of information is the breath of the Cyber Spirit and our only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people, whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow, will soon burst with freedom and vitality. But the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism.
Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master. Let us begin to set the people of the world free and ensure they may never be chained again!"
