A Federation of "Equals" - A Danubian Federation Interative AAR

I have served previously as a general, though that was in the Habsburg days. I would be willing to do so again.

((Count me in.))

I support Papp's limited war aims. We should defend ourselves but there is no need to further expand and increase the infamy the great powers hold us in for our expansionist ways.

Spiros Plan
Naval Plan:
The Blue and White Star Fleets shall move to Gibralter and set up a blockade. Adriatic Protection Fleet shall move to the Red Sea and set up a blockade there. The Red Star Fleet shall patrol the Medatranian looking for, and eliminating enemy ships. It shall also protect the Federal Transport squadren in its operations. If the Royal Navy tries to break the blockade at Gibralter, the Red Star Fleet shall provide assitance to the Blue and White Star Fleets if possible. If the blockade is broken, the Star fleets shall withdraw to secure ports on the Danubian mainland to reorganize. If the Royal Fleet is to large to be distroyed by our fleets, they shall engage in a naval gurilla warfare stratagy hitting lone ships. The Federal Transport Fleet is to avoid combat at all costs.

Land Plan:
Suez Operation: The Federal Transport Fleet shall transport the DEF to the Suez canal and hold it. They will then move the Royal Tunisian Guards to the Suez as well. If the naval situation permits it at that time (read: the Royal Navy has not breached the Mediterranean in force), the Italian Army of the Danube will be transported to Suez as well. If they feel they can, these armies will sieze Cairo and occupy Egypt.



Balkan Operation: The Army of the North, and the 3rd Southern Army shall form up at Galati. They will then invade the Ottoman Empire. The Republican National Guard, Southern Reserve Army, 1st and Second Armies, Naval Guard, and the 4th and 1st Armies shall advance into the balkans in the main assult West of Serbia. They shall support each other and make sure they are not outnumbered. If they need reinforcments, Northern Reserve, Italian Army of the Danube (if not transported), and the Army of Germany shall support them. These 3 armies are to be called in the order I listed them. The Balkan Operation Forces shall move slowly and stadly to Istanbul. Slow and Steady shall win the race.

Contengincy Plan:
If the Main Assult force is destroyed, Russia or Prussia invades, or a large British Invasion, the State Millitias are to be mobalized and placed under Federal Control. Battle groups of around 25-30,000 men are to be formed. They will then fight off any invaders. ((Hit the mobilize in game)).

Reinforcments:
Any ironclads shall join the Gibralter Blockade under the White Star Fleet. Any completed Guards are to be added to the Main assult force.

Aetios Spiros
Minister of War

Artur Georgescu
Chief of General Staff

A sound plan, the force striking from Croatia shall surely overwhelm any Ottoman forces in the area!

Chief of General Staff

The following is a excerpt from Jaromír's diary, during the time of the announcement of the warplan.

27th of January, 1865

I've just heard about the warplan. I am pleased to see the unit' I am in joining the assault on Western Serbia, aswell as being merged'' with the 2nd Southern Army. I, for one, am very happy I even managed to enter this unit'. The plan, from what I have heard atleast, seems very effective. As I wipe my sword to make sure it is clean enough to be used in combat and clean my guns so that they can shoot properly, we are told to get ready. My grandfather is smiling from above, seeing the sword he gave me being used in the one thing it is best at. Slaughtering the Ottoman.

((If you recall, Jaromir, hearing the news about war, joined the army to go fight the Ottoman))

Now is a time for action nit words, so I will step down as councilor for duration of the war and fight in the armed forces.

((Sign me up as a General.))

- Dietrich von Tirpitz

Obviously I am resigning from my political positions for hte duration of my return to military service.

I believe that the people of Crete will need leadership in the coming days. It is my duty to be on Crete. I was there for my people the last time that my island was besieged and by God I will be there the next time. Unless you believe that I can better serve the country elsewhere.

((If Illyria needs a flag I can provide one that I made in my spare time today, ees very preety))
