''Drakunistan Mountains, or as it is infamously known, the Mountains of Death, as the Order first calls it. It was during a Crusade against its heathen mamono and their husbands when it first earned its awful name. Time and again, the Order tried to control the mountains, only to fail, till they started to falter.''

''The Ottoman Republic’s predecessor, the Ottoman Empire, had tried to subdue its denizens too, but has only managed to control a portion of it, and even that took all effort they could spare. Those little gains were subsequently lost when the Empire turned its might southward, into the desert.''

''Consequently, the mountains became a safe haven for mamono and their supporters who had fled from countries when either HLF or Ottoman army took control of those areas, and also a base where they can safely go out and attack their homelands’ occupiers. The Ottoman economy in the northern provinces suffered as a result. Only thanks to HLF funding, the Ottomans managed to survive and eventually beat their enemies in the desert.''

Now they turn northward to end the Drakunistani war once and for all.

Their mission: Secure the whole Drakunistan before winter begins.

(OOC: Winter time will begin after 100 messages)



The campaign begins with the Ottoman Air Force dropping paratroopers over Ts’khinvali, securing its little airport. Paratroopers were also dropped on the mountains north of it to secure its high ground and prevent any enemy incursion upwards.

After that they immediately begin securing the town. Barbed wire, strongpoints and minefields on the surrounding outskirts are now being erected, with only the southern road remaining open. Observation posts are now also being erected in further outlying areas.

Meanwhile, the town still remains peaceful as the Ottomans begin to establish working relations with the people through their civil relations branch and propaganda units. The Ottomans have also allowed Red Crescent (who had come from Earth) volunteer medical units to set up field hospitals as they wait for civilian engineers to be airlifted to reactivate the town’s derelict public service infrastructure.
