The New Zealanders have little time to cobble a military together, retaliating with:

30 old bolt action rifles
25 G3 style Assault Rifles
5 light Jeeps with .50 machine guns
2 mortar teams
2 Little-bird Style Light Small Helicopters with AA missiles
3 AA guns - ground mounted Quad-.50s
3 Prop planes with dual .50 guns and unguided rockets

Under the cover of darkness 10 of each infantry class, the coyote TSV's and the Artillery guns are dropped onto NZ Shores where they set up an offensive position under the shelter of the dark night, the UDKA troops use Night-vision gear to scout the shore prior to the landing.

The enemy AA sets up, covered by the choppers, while the Prop planes scout out ahead, looking for the troops on the shore. The enemy soldiers begin fanning out, 5 groups of 5 rifles and 6 bolt actions, and a jeep escorting each group. The mortar teams prepare their weapons, having some civilians signal them with fires if they see enemies.

Once the artillery guns are set up they target the enemy emplacements using satellite imagery, from there the 20 troops advance up the beachhead and set up a line of barbedwire and AP Mines.

Once the artillery is ready and zeroed 3 Illumination rounds are fired into the night sky above the NZ troops, the artillery then starts a HE barrage lasting 20 rounds per gun (about 100 rounds total) The illumination rounds also signal for the two fighters to sweep in. The AV-54 strafes the mortars and fires its AGM's at the jeeps whilst the Maverick focuses on the NZ Aircraft using its speed and maneuverability to avoid the enemy fire.

The flares cause the helicopters to lose their ability to spot by eye, so they pull back a bit, one being hit by the Maverick and going down. The Maverick also downs one of the prop planes, sustaining only minor damage from a lucky shot. One of the enemy prop planes breaks off to strafe the artillery, while the other tries to distract the Maverick.

The NZ troops are immediately dazzled by the bright illum-rounds, making easy targets for the UDKA marksmen. 7 of each type of NZ rifle are cut down before they scramble to cover. The jeeps begin moving up on the marksmen, trying to force them back or kill them. The NZ mortar teams return fire, trying to damage the wire and mines so that their troops can move up. The UDKA artillery kills another 3 of each NZ rifle type.

The Artillery ups their barrage up to the constant lobbing of rounds into the battlefield, the AV-54 concentrates its fire on the SAM site going in quick second long strafes constantly dropping flares to avoid IR Lock.


The Coyote TSV's move up guns locked and firing (4 are armed with 7.62 TATO GPMG's and 40mm AGL's, 5 are armed with GPMG's and .50cal machine guns) firing in cover of the UDKA troops, the Maverick pulls out of the area lining up both the enemy prop aircraft and opens fire with its 20mm cannon and rockets. Once the prop planes are taken care off he engages the remaining helicopter.

UDKA helicopters and the rest of the attack force are still standing by on the mainland Australia.

[AgentFawkes]

Several UDKA soldiers are killed from the mortar and Jeep attacks, but only 5 rifle men and 7 marksmen. The NZ jeeps are destroyed, and the Coyotes force the NZ infantry back, cutting them down as they run. The last 2 prop planes cannot match the Mavericks maneuverability and are both shot down before they can complete their objective. The remaining helicopter fires an AA missile at the Maverick, hitting its wing and causing slight damage, but not enough to down it. The Maverick returns fire, sending the second chopper down. The mortar team sees the chaos ahead of them, and deserts, leaving their gear behind. The AA guns focus all their fire on the AV-54, but cannot hit it become being destroyed.

NZ is yours.
