It has begun...

Last Images from a Venezuelan Fighter Pilots Cockpit.

The Skies of Venezuela and Zimbabwe blackened with the Invasion Ships of the Aliens. Huge ungainly Spheres dropping like Asteroids from the Skies heedless of the Towns and Cities below them.





One always imagined the Aliens to attack important states like the USA first. The Aliens didn't care. They didn't do secrecy either. As the Spheres more crashed than landed all over Venezuela and Zimbabwe the horrified people on the ground didn't put up much of a fight.

Not for lack of trying but the horrendous truth was that over previous nights dozens of Special Operators had come down all over Venezuela. The Airforce had been wrecked and never even rose to challenge Bassai air supremacy. President Maduro, the Venezuelan Government and most of the High Command had been assassinated before the Invasion proper even started.

Caracas fell within the hour and under the horrified eyes of the world the Venezuelan Forces were neatly annihilated, tenacious resistance in Western Venezuela broken by horryfing biological and chemical weapons brought by stunted thickly armored aliens or simply trampled under companies of Walkers.

As February closed The remaining third of the National Army of the Bolivaran Republic had fallen back into the Guiana Highlands, internet recordings, local witnesses and military specialists stated alien losses as light. Venezuelan were far beyond 80.000 combat personnel and an as of yet unknown number of civilians.

Meanwhile in Zimbabwe the situation was progressively worse. The Zimbabwean Military and it's militias were utterly unprepared for the invasion. By the end of the month the country had securely fallen into Bassai hands. Contact to Harare had completely ceased days after the Invasion along with reports of massive spiderish beasts tearing apart entire companies on their own, folding open tank plating like tuna cans and leaving destruction in their wake.

The War for Earth had begun in earnest...


Zimbabwe has fallen!
Venezuela is rapidly collapsing under Bassai pressure!
Human Military losses since the beginning of the War(KIA,WIA,MIA,POW): 131.000

*Mildly sarcastic* So, what was this about keeping it under wraps.

Regardless, the advantage of this is that, since everyone knows, we can work against it without worrying about trying to keep it hidden from everyone, and everyone should be united against the xenos, so cooperation won't rankle some of the more isolationist people the way it otherwise would. First things first, everyone needs the best equipment we can make. There's two parts to that: knowing what's best, and being able to make it. For the first part, can we get some comprehensive tests of how everyone's military tech measures up? For the second, we need to know who can make things, and who'll need help making them. Australia, unfortunately, fits in the latter category.

[Make your own intro! Dynamic entry! Explosions! Chuck Norris! Etc.! :P]
[But yeah, do what you think makes sense. Be the chosen rep for all the countries that didn't know, and are worried that they might end up in a similar situation to Venezuela and Zimbabwe. The the first guys to organize the people enough after recent events to start taking action. Just call us out or something on the UN floor. Whatever you think would work will likely work.]

An official from the Russian Federation comes to speak at the UN:

Mother Russia 🇷🇺 realizes the threat the the aliens oppose to us, and it seems with everyone intentions of trying to diplomacize them, might of not have been the best strategy after all. They seem like conquerors and act like conquerors, the only thing we can hope is that their ships aren’t adapted to orbital re-entry and atmospheric flight and have to send scouts to test in the waters before they send in their battleships and dreadnoughts. I assure you the aliens have the intention of capitulation for us, and we will be either subjugated or exterminated to the last one.

As for the question of observatory posts both on ground and in orbit, the entire fleet of UFOs are immune from nuclear countermeasure range and it seems they are just poking fun at us, we are vastly outnumbered compared to the foreign intruders, and it seems they are only attacking. Note that they may have the ability to be invisible to all forms of radar, and can be undetected at least non-visually and perform their abduction, aerial terror missions etc.

Thirdly, why attack Venezuela and other South American countries is a question of the aliens that we can not answer. The more important question is if even our ICBMs could scratch the paint off of UFOs, and we don’t even have that knowledge. Consecutively, you may notice that many of the modern interceptors we have are equipped depleted uranium as its weapon and even nuclear warheads, just so we can hope to defeat the aliens. It seems that the aliens, have some form of massive technologically advantage over us. And this isn’t even talking their insane ability to dodge modern forms of radar.

As the initial Hubub of the invasion fills the news outlets the shrewd and observant might discover that some Countries used this time to deal with internal mattters most violently.

News of the 58th Army of the Russian Federation, Veterans of the Second Chechen, the Georgian and the Civil War in Ukraine, moving into Chechnya once more, spread quickly.



Soldiers of the 58th Army recovering a wounded comrade

The idea of keeping a lid on the chechen region by increasing military presence spectacularly backfired as on the 25th of February sabotage by the rebels caused an explosion which tore apart an entire infantry column. Initial losses on the Russian side are estimated at over 100 dead and wounded.

Russian authorities soon aprehended suspects and moved them to unknown locations.

Federal Elections in Germany


With the indecisive election in 2017 and the failure of the Social Democratic Party, the SPD to find a partner for a coalition, Chancellor Angela Merkel has called for re-elections. This is seen by many as both a political suicide of the SPD who lost most of its trust by entering coalition talks with the conservative CDU in the first place and the CDU itself thanks to the election victory of the AFD last time around.

Expections are currently veering towards a Linke/Grüne Coalition victory or an AFD/FDP/CDU Coalition. As it stands all bets are off...a first in German politics which has traditionally been dominated by both CDU and SPD.

In light of the recent Alien Invasion one might also question whether there will be increased foreign influence in the coming Vote.


Southern Chinese Sea Escalation

Filipino troops raising their flag on one of the contested Islands

Once again Duterte is causing waves by his polarizing actions. Deploying two Regiments into the contested South Chinese Sea as "peacekeepers" caused an escalation of the conflict. Both Malaysia and Vietnam have deployed corps strength military units into the Region. China so far has not reacted to the actions of all three nations. The situation is tense, a single wrong move might cause a shooting war at this point.

Armed Conflict in the Philippines

Celebrating Moro Insurgents after their successfull Counter-Offensive

Duterte has recently shown that he is more than willing to cooperate with the armed insurgencies plagueing his land if it means peace. Unfortunately the armed insurgents think differently. The resulting Philippine armed response has caused open warfare to break out once more as the Army has begun a three pronged offensive against the Moro,Isil and the CPP insurgents.

These Offensives actually began with blatant digging in by Philippine Army troops in insurgent held territory.
The Moro who recently went from peace talks back to armed insurgency were however equipped well-enough to break through initial Philippine positions and push them back considerably. Both sides suffered heavy casualties in the initial fighting. However by the end of February Philippine Forces were pushed back to the Davao Region, where they managed to dig in.
The Offensive against CPP Militias on the other hand faired considerably better with more than 4000 of them captured within the month, the Philippine army simply rolling over them.
By End of February the CPP had surrendered.

The End of February saw however a catastrophic tragedy, ISIL Maute units had managed to pull of an attack on the troops shipping out South towards the Moro Invasion. Several Dozen freighters had been prepared with IEDs. The resulting death toll exceeded more than 9.000 emboldened by this Maute and Moro both stepped up their recruitment.

Philippines lose 7 Regiments
CPP surrenders
Moro Insurgents lose 2 Regiments
Maute Group loses 1 Spec-Ops Group

(1) You start forward with determination and certainty. You carry this determination with you right into the gaping crater that opens under your feet. You fall into a pit. The sounds of combat above dim, along with the light from the suns. In the quiet below, you hear some other noises instead.
