Eh, I am not going to get 5 million people killed here Quintus Fabius, but we can assume that each state can rebel once. And I have crushed a rebellion already in one. Imperial RomeBall, I think I should reroll Idaho, as I still can't believe that I lost 130000 in one state (thanks to a stupid two!!) You got that two fair and square. I still want to hear from the guy who mowed them down. It's impossible! In one area the Army got destroyed and in another 15000 took over three states? That's stupid? |

Gran Colombia Part One
The government starts conscripting all able men from 25-45. This makes the number of troops 780,000.
We build an additional 800 artillery pieces, doubling the number of cannons we have.
Two ironclads and two armoured cruisers are built.
Number of ships:
12 ironclads and 20 armoured cruisers.
Weapons manufacturers receive lots of government funding to supply all men with weapons and uniforms.
80,000 soldiers are transported to Phillipine with Chile's approval.
The government declares war on Brazil for lots of reasons.
Operation Maned Wolf is launched.
Operation Maned Wolf
50,000 soldiers are sent to Amazonas to lure Brazilians soldiers to one place so we can finish them off in decisive battle.
4 to lure 80,000 troops, 5 to attract 100,000 men, 6 to lure 120,000 men, 7 to lure 150,000 men and an 8 to draw in 180,000 Brazilians.

So I just realized this;
the CSA has 48100 men in Texas and had 27500 in Tennessee while at the same time nothing in the Carolinas, Florida, Mississippi and Louisiana.
Yeah, the key to getting wrecked is when you forget that the USA still has 20000 men in Cuba and Puerto Rico. Which is technically in your backyard. That's how you lose!

While reading the past posts since my attack has happened, I noticed a thing or two; 1) Quintus Fabius says that 5 million people oppose me and that I need to kill his rebels even after I have liberated the state. This, dear rebel, isn't going to happen anymore. I took over the state fairly and even had militiamen in those whom you totally forgot (Tennessee has 27500 and the Carolinas have nothing). I took the states and they're mine now unless you counterattack (which, I know can't happen anymore. Everyone loves to get their men butchered). 2) UK declared war. This, makes zero sense. They declared war on a country that's winning? they should've technically declared war on you, you're the one who was losing this year??? They're siding with you just because you have cotton? You were lucky enough to get recognition from Britain. So I suggest you focus more on the front that has completely collapsed instead of distracting me with "rebels" and UK. Because you only have 7 states left. So maybe reorganize your country? |

Look at reconstruction, they had military occupation everywhere just to keep the peace! And that's when the CSA completely lost. 2. Search up the meaning of "Anti-American coalition". The CSA, in the face of A USA stronger than it, can only use guerilla warfare and Fabian tactics to prolong the fight, decreasing public morale, like Vietnam. If you were playing as the US in Vietnam, you'd have won in 30 turns because you never take in account of morale. |

How long did it take to clean out Vietnam? I won't be doing that until the end of the war. Once your last state surrenders it's game over for you, then I won't be sending 1000 men to kill 10 rednecks hiding in a mountain or things of the sort every year |

Imperial RomeBall , I think I should reroll Idaho, as I still can't believe that I lost 130000 in one state (thanks to a stupid two!!) What? You only invaded with 130,000, lets go back to my stupid realism. You were facing 70,000 fortified defenders with 130,000. You should only lose 25-50%, in all likelihood. You should almost never lose 100%, not at this number of troops, though it has happened. So, go with 35-70,000 American losses. And mine shall be 11-23,000 at worst. Since you only attacked once, you can go again I GUESS. But make it a 8 minimum instead of a 7, since you already failed. |

Platine Federation 1848-Military
Military campaigns in the Brazillian front is divided to three main efforts.
Naval Invasion of Sao Paulo
15,000 Platine Marines and 5,000 Chilean Marines comprise the initial landing force under Fructuoso Rivera. A combined fleet of 20 ironclads and 44 frigates with 4 Subs supports the landing. 3 Saladins with 3,000 National Guards are ready to support with 60 siege guns.
Strategic aims of the offensive is to confuse and disrupt Brazillian supply chains, as well as establishing a base to attack Rio de Janiero, the capital. It is divided into two phases: landing and siege. January 27, 08.00; Landing at SantosBefore the landing on the port city of Santos, a nava l bombardment is done. The bombardment targets places of military value, such as forts. While the Platine government cannot ensure no civillians would be harmed, it is done with justifiable intent.
huqX1NGM
Bigger the dice, bigger the damage and easier the landing.
An 8! More than half of Santos' fortifications are destroyed and paralyzed. Casualty percentage in landing is lowered by 10%.
Now on to the landing itself. Defenses are paralyzed, so little reaction is expected.
Formula: (dice rolled/12 * 10%)-2 if stock
The lesser the dice, less resistance and casualties and thus a more succesful landing. Casualties are about 1% in the Initial phase (200 Marines)
On to the battle. The attackers have numerical superiority, naval support, and defensive works have been damaged in the landing. Min roll is 5, I guess.
Santos is secured with minimal casualties. About 400 Marines die in battle. I need Brazil (Imperial RomeBall ) to state the number of defenders, but for now I'll say the majority surrenders while some retreat to Sao Paulo. The city is a day's march from Santos.
January 27, 16.00; Securing the Coastline
3,000 Marines with the support of 10 Ironclads and 20 frigates assault the town of Guaruja.
Before assaulting Guaruja, the marines must take the fortress of Santo Amaro da Barra Grande. Since most defenders retreated, along with navy support, need a 4 to win.
The fortress is taken and 60 Marines die in battle.
Next, attack on Guaruja itself. Being only a town, their main line of defense destroyed, defenders retreated, and navy support, we need a 4 to secure the coast.
Guaraja is taken with 80 Marines dead.
Meanwhile, 16,200 Marines march to Sao Paulo with 60 siege guns and 3 Saladins.
January 28, 09.00; Siege of Sao Paulo
16,200 Marines and 60 siege guns have arrived. Reinforcements numbering 2,880 Marines would arrive later in the day. 3 Saladins stand ready.
The siege guns fire to create breaches and destroy fortifications
1-3 no breach, 4-6 one breach, 7-9 two breaches, 10-12 three breaches.
2 breaches made and many forts paralyzed.
A Saladin is dispatched to bastions protecting each breach (2 Saladins, 2,000 National Guard).
Need a 6 to distract the bastions, a 9 to capture them. If distracted, forlorn hope rolls only one dice. If captured no forlorn hope dice roll. Forlorn hope: 500 men each breach.
Close, but no cigar. While some parts of the bastions get distracted, fire from the bastions will still come.
Forlorn Hope! Into the Breach!
Bigger the dice, bigger casualties.
Max casualty rate: 36%
(2+3)/12 * 36%: 15%.
150 Marines die, 75 on each breach.
While the forlorn hope secures the breaches, National Guard continues to battle for the bastions. Need 5 to win.
The bastions are won! 200 National Guard die in the fight. They continue on to secure the rest of the wall. Min 6 to secure the whole wall.
The walls are secured, but by a thread. 200 more National Guard die in battle, with many more wounded. They rush to support the battle down the walls.
The two breaches must connect to ensure the success of the siege. The walls are secured and losses in the start of the siege are relatively small. Need a 5 to connect and secure.
The breaches are connected and secured with 300 Marines dead. The city is almost taken. Now we move to the governor's estate to end the siege. 15,750 Marines and 1,600 National Guard, supported by a Saladin with 1,000 National Guard assault the estate. Need 4 to win.
The estate, with that the city is taken. 400 Marines and 200 National Guard die in the fight.
All militia surrenders. 6,500 of the regulars surrender or are dead, while 3,000 run to the forest.
Allied Platine-Chilean casualties: 850 Marines and 600 National Guard, totalling 1,450 dead. About twice the number is wounded.
Brazillian casualties: 6,500 regulars captured or killed and 5,000 militia captured.
The siege has taken a heavy toll on the Marines. Roll for possibility of marines looting. Getting a 12 means looting.
No looting. The campaign is a success. More Platineans rush to buy war bonds as morale increases. Sao Paulo and Santos is fortified. Militia are given parole while regulars become PoWs. The fleet is now stationed in Santos. 2 Saladins are quickly fueled and rushed to the Parana Front (Ciudad del Este)
Total Platine-Allied Casualties: 2,190 dead.
Breaking the Line at Parana
75,000 regulars and 300 Caballero Guns under Brigadier General Francisco Solano Lopez attack to connect with the gains in Sao Paulo. I will state for now that Brazil has 30,000 regulars in the area.
January 27-30; Bombardment phase
Caballero Guns do a continous barrage of artillery timed as to ensure artillery fire rages every second. Brazillian artillery is also targeted.
Bigger the dice, bigger the damage on the enemy.
A 6! Some enemy defenses are destroyed.
January 31, 10.00; Breaking the Line
A temporary lull in the barrage and advancing Platine regulars cause Brazillian troops to rise from cover and shoot. One last barrage is sent in this moment (My artillery are rifled, so it's accurate enough to do this). Need a 7 or higher to make the barrage all land on time.
500 defenders die from artillery fire while the rest scurry for cover.
A joint attack by Saladins in the rear and regulars in front is made. Because of bombardment and a rear attack, only one dice is rolled.
Less dice, less resistance.
500 regulars die in the advance.
Now for the battle. Outnumbered more than 2:1 and attacked from the rear, we need a 5 or higher to win.
A 7! The Brazillians are driven out the trenches at the cost of 3,000Regulars and 200 National Guard.
As the Brazillians escape, some Mounted Infantry pursue while the Infantry take pot-shots and artillery fire on retreating Brazillians.
Bigger the dice, bigger the casualties.
A 9! Many Brazillians are killed or captured in the pursuit.
Out of the 30,000 men, I would say the Brazillians have 12,500 killed or captured while the Platine Federation has 3,700 killed. Fair enough Imperial RomeBall ?
Just behind the lines, a rearguard of 2,000 regulars defend in Foz de Iguacu.
Artillery rains on Foz de Iguacu to suppress the rearguard while regulars encricle them.
Bigger the dice, bigger the damage to Foz de Iguacu and Brazillian casualties. If roll larger than 8, a surrender roll is possible.
Casualties are negligble to the Brazillians.
The encirclement is finished. 20,000 Regulars assault the village. Need a 6 to take Foz de Iguacu.
The rearguard is defeated. 2,000 men are killed or captured at the cost of 2,500 Platine regulars. Most importantly, the rest of the Brazillian army escapes and remains a threat.
February 6, 07.00; Battle of Guarapuava
The advance guard of the Platine Army, 5,000 men and 50 Caballero Guns strong encounter the Brazillian force of about 10,000 Regulars (from the retreat) and a unkown number of militia at the village of Guarapuava. Due to the fields surrounding Guarapuva, the Platine advance guard is spotted and is attacked by the Brazillians.
Caballero Guns bombard the marching Brazillians.
Bigger the dice, bigger the damage.
800 Brazillian troops die in the bombardment.
Now, the advance guard must hold while the main army rushes to help. Lesser the dice, lesser the casualties on the Platine advance guard. If >9 is rolled advance guard retreats.
2,000 Platine regulars and 2,500 Brazillian troops die in battle. The Platine position is nearly forced, but Brigadier Lopez arrives with a Corps of 15,000 regulars and 50 more guns.
Supported by the guns, the Platine force launches a counterattack. Need a 6 or higher to win.
An 8! 2,000 more Platine Regulars die in battle at the cost of 3,500 Brazillians.
The Brazillians are disorganized by the counterattack. An attack on Guarapuava is done to cut off some Brazillians. Need a 5 to win.
Guarapuva is won at the cost of 1,200 Platine Regulars and 800 Brazillians. 3,000 Regulars succesfully escape, while the rest is cut off. Another Corps of 15,000 men arrives. Need an 8 or higher to convince surrender
The Brazillians refuse to surrender. Artillery bombards them to submission.
Need a 5 or higher to bombard the Brazillians into surrender.
2,500 regulars are captured with 500 killed in the bombardment. Militia surrenders and is paroled.
February 12, 09.00; Siege of Curitiba
63,000 Platine Regulars (counting 12,000 Platine casualties) and 200 Caballero Guns assault the last stronghold in Parana. 3,000 regulars and militia defend the town.
Artillery bombardment phase.
Breaches and damage rules same with Sao Paulo.
A breach is formed. Platine forces rush at the breach and storm the city. Need a 5 to win the siege.
5,000 Platine Regulars die. 3,000 Brazillian regulars are killed or captured and militia surrenders, getting parole.
Strategic aftermath: Rio Grande do Sul is cut off from the rest of Brazil and a solid supply line is established to Sao Paulo Province. 58,000 regulars are left from an initial force of 75,000 regulars. 30,000 Brazillian troops defending are all either killed or captured. War exhaustion begins to happen in the home front due to the heavy casualties.
Rio Grande do Sul Campaign
75,000 men and 200 Caballero Guns commanded by Juan Antonio Lavalleja with the support of 18,000 Rio Grande do Sul rebels attack the isolated 30,000 strong Brazillian defenders (70,000-10,000 at Sao Paulo-30,000 at Parana).
February 7-15; Bombardment
Bigger the dice, bigger the damage.
A 4. Little damage is done.
February 10, 21.00; Operation Oriental
Platine Strategic Intelligence, along with Rio Grande do Sul Rebels assault the Brazillian camp to burn their supplies and assassinate/kidnap their generals. Need a 5or higher to burn supplies and 9 or higher to burn supplies and assassinate generals.
A 5! The agents escape with their lives, but the mission fails.
February 16, 09.00; Breaking the Line
75,000 Regulars and 18,000 Rio Grande do Sul rebels assault the trenches. Need a 5 or higher to take the trenches.
A 10! 2,000 Regulars and 1,500 Rio Grande do Sul rebels die and 7,000 Brazillians are killed or captured.
Pursuit phase; the bigger the dice, the bigger the damage.
Another 7,000 Brazillians are killed or captured.
February 24, 12.00; Battle of Cachoeira do Sul
Learning from the mistake at Guarapuava, Lavalleja's army as a whole crosses the Jacuí River at Cachoeira do Sul.
They are resisted by 10,000 Brazillian Regulars, 8,000 surrounding the town and 2,000 in Cachoeira do Sul itself. (Think of Fredericksburg)
First, capturing Cachoeira do Sul itself. A short, sharp barrage is targeted at the center of the town. Minimum a 6 to shock the enemy.
The enemy is shocked by the barrage.
Now, the Platine Regulars assault Cachoeira do Sul. Need a 5 to succeed.
Cachoeira do Sul is taken with 400 Platine casualties and the whole garrison (2,000) killed or captured (I did roll an 11).
Platine Regulars cross the Jacuí River. The Cabellero Guns divert their fire to the surrounding Brazillian position as to suppress their fire. Need a 5 to roll only one casualty dice and an 8 to not roll for casualties.
The Brazillians are mostly suppressed. Still, some fire at the Platine Regulars.
Formula: 50 * dice rolled.
200 Platine Regulars are killed in the crossing.
The Platine Regulars assault the heights and positions after the crossing. Need a 6 to take these fortified positions.
The Brazillians are driven out of their position at the cost of 1,000 Platine Regulars, 500 Rio Grande do Sul Rebels, and 3,000 Brazillians.
Pursuit phase.
A 9! 3,800 Brazillians die in the pursuit, with 1,200 routing to Porto Alegre.
February 28, 08.00; Siege of Porto Alegre.
A detachment of 30,000 Platine Regulars, 5,000 Rio Grande do Sul Rebels, 3,000 Platine Marines, 100 Caballero Guns, 4 Ironclads, and 10 Frigates blockading Porto Alegre storm it. Commanded by Manuel Oribe. Opposed by 5,000 Brazillian Regulars and Militia.
Before the storm begins, the Guns and the Navy shell Porto Alegre to create breaches.
A 12! The walls are utterly breached and destroyed.
The end of the Campaign is near. All Platine forces attack at once. Need a 4 to win.
Porto Alegre is taken. 5,000 Regulars are killed or captured and militia surrenders. 1,000 Platine Regulars die in battle, along with 500 Rio Grande do Sul Rebels.
The Campaign is finished and the Platine Army takes time to recuperate.
Platine Order of Battle:
Sao Paulo: 18,400 Allied Marines, planned reinforcement of 40,000 Regulars
Parana: 58,000 Regulars
Rio Grande do Sul: 70,000 Regulars, 16,000 Rio Grande do Sul Rebels
Mato Grosso do Sul (border defense): 100,000 Reservists.
Imperial RomeBall may respond.
