Hardened aircraft shelter by redvectors

Long time no post.

Well, guys, I'm back with new ideas, more miniatures, and some brand new scenery.

First, I'm showing off my brand new hardened aircraft shelter built by the wonderful guys at red vectors http://www.redvectors.co.uk/

The kit was worth every penny and was easy to assemble. I highly recommend red vector if you're after commissioned MDF buildings.

To help for scaling purposes the UK challenger battle tank and it's crew have agreed to help.

As you can see the doors are large enough to allow most modern planes and helicopters in and out and the best of all the doors can move. 

The back has two doors to allow crew/maintenance staff in and out and a large door for parts. 

The inside is large and with side areas for storage and work bays.


Well if you can't guess what i have in mind for this thing it's going to be one of the pieces for an airfield board which is going to play a more significant role in Ukuechana. The war is far from over.

Till next time.

American forces in Ukuechana

In the first days of the international task force being sent to Ukuechana america was one of the first to provide soldiers. Navy SEAL’s from the USS Yorktown were quickly deployed to assist the SBS in securing Ayor international airport so that forces could be deployed. As the numbers kept on climbing it looked like america would be leading this operation.

That was until fourth of july in which america would be shocked by the events that happened. Elements of the  fourth marine expeditionary unit were doing standard operations to push the UPLA out of the city when elements began to be separated by the UPLA forces.

Around 12:30 element of the seven platoon lost contact with the rest of the marines with their last message being the UPLA were falling back.

What happened is unknown, but unconfirmed reports state that an explosion was detonated under the marine position leaving at least twelve dead and over forty missing. Members of the third battalion who were several blocks from the explosion sight claim they saw a black mushroom cloud coming from the blast sight, but with no sign of radiation this is being ignored as battlefield fatigue.

It was two hours before british and Ukuechana troops fought their way through to relieve the marines in which time three more had been killed and another twenty wounded.

With which a disaster so early into the campaign the president began withdrawal of the Us force not wanting to risk any more with the next years elections coming up. Handing command over to the British america has began the process of withdrawal bringing it men down to third most foreign soldiers operating in the country.

Army/National guard.

Elements of the various army and national guard units will be remaining in Ukechana.

The Arkham 365th combat aviation brigade consisted of national guard from the city of Arkham.

The "Damned 33rd" Infantry Battalion lead the main american infantry combat force fighting with the brits on the front lines.

Rangers.

Elements of the Rangers have been ordered to stay in the country to train up elements of the Ukuechana army. Elements of the third and second battalion are currently deployed in the country.

Marines/ Navy

Despite the casualties suffered by the unit elements of the fourth MEU has voluted to stay in Ukuechana many not wanting to leave until the bodies of their fallen comrades behind. Despite being under strength they are lending their aid to their allies whilst digging their fallen brothers out of the rubble. Also the unit is fielding the brand new Abrams hellhammer verity a tank built for city fighting.

The Navy is also playing a small part helping to keep the sea safe with bomb disposal units helping out on the ground. Sailors are also helping with the now massive logistical problem talking over Ayor navel base.

The carrier Grover Cleveland and it carrier group are in the air adding air support to the international task force.

Special forces.

Delta and the navy SEAL’s have both agreed to stay on and aid the rest of the international special forces. The SEAL’s are aiding in the mission to hunt down the current deck of 42 whilst Delta has been put in charge of finding the CIA agents and returning them to allied lines.

Rebels.

Something the american government wishes it could ignore are the american militia troopers who have gone to fight with the rebel force. An estimated two hundred americans are in the true Ukuechana army or in various UPLA units.

New year and the war rages on.

Greetings citizens sorry for so long without an update. The air raids on the capital by ultranationalist forces have had the power grid very unstable.


Allied and government forces have advanced north, but have reached a stalemate after being counter attacked by the fifth army and the weather has made advances impossible.

With no progress in the fighting and further riots, the government has made the unpopular decision of hiring Russian mercenaries to back up it forces. This has been meet by condemnation from the UIIF commanders and shown as proof of the government being a puppet by the ultranationalist.

Said merchs should arrive within the next few mouths

Whilst the weather rages the spec ops carry on. Raids against ultranationalist and UPLA positions have meet with mixed success. A big operation is said to be int he works through the press can neither confirm such rumours.

Phalanx game 2016

Having searched for prince Barry for three days the pathfinders have been recalled after his location has been found. As squad delta was being withdrawn their lynx took fire and had to put sown. They had to survive until a rescue party could reach them.

The day began with a faint mist blowing over the hills as the frantic pathfinders and the crew of the downed lynx crew scrambled from their burning helo.

The militia unit roared onto the scene. They were stocked they had brought down a helo of the British puppets.

The first militia tacticals roars past half of the pathfinders. Private  Arthur Poole takes aim at the lead tactical.

And completely misses.

The militia return fire.

And score a hit as  Private  Sean Mcdonald drops.

As Lans corporal Harry Harris  drags his fallen brother to safety Arthur takes aim again.

And misses again.

The militia spring from their vehicles and return fire.

Dropping the  pathfinder.


The pilot Stuart McGillivray run through the militia fire to rescue the wounded pathfinder.

As the other pathfinders return fire.

The lynx gunner Jennifer Doyle does a lot better dropping the driver and gunner of a tactical on the left.

Just as reinforcements arrive.

The ultranationalist irregulars disibarack and begin to advance.

Until a noise makes them scatter for thier lives.

As reinforcements have arrive. A hind strike obliterates the irregulars.

Whilst their allies are being obliterated two militia attempt to flank the British. Upon hearing a noise in the farmhouse they move to investigate.

And quickly regret it as they are quickly butchered.

The remaining militia keep up the fire dropping more pathfinders.

Until the Hind destroys the tactical which only one gunner escapes.

With the Hind keeping the enemy back the Mil Mi-2 lands to take on the wounded.

With their forces in disarray what left of the ultranationalist retreat.

With the enemy in retreat, the Hind lands to evacuate the last brit Jennifer as both of the helo's take to the sky.

Prince Barry located.

After days of searching the missing prince has been located.

Ultranationalist news sources have shown the prince been paraded through the streets of the  Umplor before he was loaded into a transport and taken to a secure facility in the Bektai mountains.

All special forces have been withdrawn from the search with orders to return to base.

Ukuechana and allied forces have refused to comment on any existing plans for a rescue attempt.

The british in Ukuechana

The British are by far the largest contingent of foreign personnel for the UIIF with around 10,000 personnel being involved. Germany is the second largest with 8,500 followed by the US with 6,900

It was British troops that were the first to put boots on the ground with the evacuation of the president and senate from the presidential palace. Elements of the royal marines and SBS held the line to cover the government's evacuation.

When the Ukuechana president called for international assistance Britain had already began to assemble a force to assist them.

Elements of the British army and royal marines landed at the city of Ispturg and began operations leading the allied forces against the ultranationalists.

The British troops have hit a snag when prince Barry was deployed  for some PR pics. Whilst on a shoot outside the city of Ayor the platoon of the kings regiment was ambushed by Ultranationalists and Ukuechana people liberation army force. Whilst bundling the prince off into an empty building the prince panicked and shot one his  gurkha bodyguards in the back of the head killing the unfortunate trooper. Worse it was all caught live on TV.

As if the day couldn't get any worse a Ultranationalist Spetsnaz team appeared and after dropping the rest of his bodyguards ( who thankfully survived their injuries) made off with the prince.

The British troops are now involved in a wide search trying to find him.

British troops take cover behind a wall during a recent firefight. 

Missing sub and returning staff.

Greetings.

Government and UIIF force continue to build in the south with the Australian and Japanese forces arrived yesterday. Australian infantry and Japanese combat engineers were given a warm welcome by the people of Ayor as they marched from the airport to their tempory barracks to join the growing force.

Ultranationalist forces have made no move against the gathering forces and continue to fortify their positions in the north.

Ukuechana embassy personnel have returned from abroad with only a few embassy being kept open. Someone not returning our the men belonging to the Ukuechana based PMC group G22. The organisation is not being allowed to withdraw it personal from abroad with rumours saying it is due to the organisations ties to the ultranationalist.

The real news this week is that of the dissertation of the Ukuechan kilo class submarine G-230 know as Spemtna to her crew.
