Speed can win wars, look at Iraq. (Don't count the ~5 years of policing,) but they did do a good job taking the country fast, just holding it is a different story.

Member Posts: 34 Group: Members Member #29 Joined: Oct 6, 2008	OOC: ah thanks Sweden, it wont be to difficult to play, all you do is gather a few hundred men (like ive done, its typical fighting in backwater Africa) and play it out. also US why are you intervening? Somaliland fought both Maakir and Puntland repeatedly in 2007, there was no objection from the US or any Western power. In fact: Quote: In December 2007 the Bush administration discussed whether to back the shaky transitional government in Somalia or to acknowledge and support the less volatile Somaliland Republic I also think you'd be a bit more weary after what happened the last time the US intervened in Somolia could we also have a battle writer.

Smily Herder Posts: 7,158 Group: Admins Member #2 Joined: Sep 29, 2008	BBC News report from Somalia "As you can see behind me the refugees flee from the attack made Yesterday by the separatist authorities in Somaliland against the autonomy seeking faction in control of neighbouring Maakhir, the attack came Yesterday with soldiers and tanks from Somaliland crossing the border into territory held by Maakhiri forces. The defence forces in the area were undermanned and quickly fell back in the wake of the advance, the Somaliland forces then proceeded to bombard the town of Engavo, resulting in dozens of civilian deaths and the Maakhiri government had been evacuated of military forces as soon as the enemy attacked, Somaliland disputes this claim... OOC: Sorry if this doesn't seem very good but it is hard to write a battle when one side has run away as its tactic. Edited by Russian Federation, Nov 2 2008, 02:06 AM.
