Fall of South Tyrol-Trentino pt. 1

ran61.png

15 days into the new year, Dutch forces manage to reach almost 1000km from the new capital of the South Tyrol-Trentino government. The IDA High Command instructed the 2nd Infantry to within 300km of the capital, as a recon force to inspect the enemy strengths.

ran62.png
On the 16th of December, the Internal Ministry reports to us that as the war is tipping to our favor, the workers began to work more faster, hastening the end for the enemy.

ran63.png
The Foreign Ministry reports that the Allies lead by Yemen declared war on the forces of Communism under the faction leadership of Flanders. Our minister was a little concerned about this.

ran64.png
The Infantry vanguard of the IDA reports that the enemy has an HQ brigade stationed outside the capital while it is protected by what seems to be an Armored Division. They were instructed to wait for the 1st Dutch Armored, now nicknamed Torgersen in honor of their commander.

ran65.png
The second mission by the Imperial Dutch Air Force. The operation consisted of a bombing raid over Dharwad, their capital, to lower their morale and to assess their strengths.

Fall of South Tyrol-Trentino pt. 2

ran66.png

On February 6th, the IDA began their final offensive into Dharwad, the new capital of South Tyrol-Trentino. The 1st Armored and Goin's HQ brigade launched the attack whist the 2nd Infantry division made their way to a neighboring province to start a two-pronged assault.

ran67.png
The 2nd Infantry began their attack on the 7th of February, putting more pressure onto the STT defenders who were started to become fanatical.

ran68.png
The 1st Militia division arrived and began to assist the continuing offensive. Now, the STT defender were launching suicide attacks onto the Marshal's HQ brigade, they are suffering the loss of a number of important personnel and thus affect their organization.

ran69.png
Whilst the fighting was going on, Dutch researchers were able to expand our industrial knowledge, allowing us to construct factories.

ran70.png
The battle for the capital ended on February 20th. IDA forces suffered 4% causitlies while the STT forces suffered 3x the Dutch, 15%.

ran71.png
On February 21st, the STT government requested an end to the war on Dutch terms. We asked for them to be fully annexed into the newly formed Dutch Empire. They complied. The bloody war that lasted for more than a year finally ended. The Dutch Empire expanded almost 3x into territory claimed by them.

Het Keizerrijk Nederland

ran72.png

The Imperial Empire of the Netherlands. After the surrender of South Tyrol-Trentino, the Dutch Empire was simply magnificent. The ruling government has rumored that they will build up for around 6-9 months before liberating the remaining areas claimed by the Dutch.

*I'm now asking the community, who should I attack in 6-9 months time? I can attack the Pink or Green nations (Asturias and North Ireland) as well the the small 2 province nation (Karelia) but that would drag me into a war with Estonia based in Madagascar.

attack all 3. at once :p

In all seriousness though, if pink doesn't have any military access rights with any of your neighbours, then take them down first, smaller border, means you dont have to worry about defence as much and can gain some epxerience from a decent amount of fighting. then green after, then the two province last. maybe.

My suggestion...

First green, then blue, then small nations. By then you'll be a large power in the area I guess.

sneakey pete - Maybe, but wouldn't attacking pink just cause a larger border to patrol?

GUNNM - I might do that, it seems more logical cause once green is gone, I can attack blue in a three-way :D

Deus Eversor - Maybe, but conquering blue before green might not be such a good idea.

Timmie0307 - Thanks! I just used google translator :D Also, im currently building transports first, then I'll start on a proper navy.

TonyJoe - Thank You, and yah, that seems to be the most voted choice

DjMangus - True, but Grey is actually really big, but the claims I have on 1/3 of it might out weight the negatives.

The Early Post-War Years

ran73.png

On February 22, we expand the current technologies that our researchers are working on. Later on, we may improve upon our naval doctrines and tech.

ran74.png
The Post-War Dutch production. Two Calvary as well as an AC brigade are being built while 2 transports in a single series are being ordered. They will be the start of the Imperial Dutch Navy, IDN. Later, this force will be expanded as would the Imperial Dutch Air Force, IDAF.

*Any name suggestions for the two Calvary divisions? :D and I will post a world-ish update, just to get even updated on world events.

Great AAR. I would suggest:

cav div no1: Huzaren van Boreel (A old dutch cavalry Regiment)
cav div no2: Division of Chevau-Legers-Lanciers

2nd (Dutch) Regiment of Lancers
Raised in 1810 from former Dutch Army cavalry units as the 2e Regiment de Chevau-Legers-Lanciers de la Garde Impériale, the regiment became known as the Red Lancers from their uniform.

martijntien - Well, the extent of my dutch is mostly german :D Google translate isn't that accurate then....

Burds - Thank you! I might just go with the Red Lancers but I will have one Calvary division that is historically based while the other is more...comical or a reader suggestion

DjMangus - :D I might want to choose those names
