About 150 miles off of the northern coast of Tasmania the UDKA Fleet advances ahead of the main attack force standing by in Australia. The Enforcer class leads the way ready to engage the Patrol Boats whilst the Spruance class is on the Port Side with the Helmsman on the Starboard side both following slightly behind the Enforcer.

The patrol boats stay in a tight V formation, heading straight for the Enforcer. Once within range, they begin firing at it, attempting to cripple it's Anti-ship defenses before moving to the Spruance.
The patrol boats radio back to the mainland, assembling forces near the shore. (please post an area of attack)

Once the Patrol Boats are spotted the UDKA vessels all engage with their main guns, the Enforcer class also opens up with the Tomahawk Missile batteries.
The target for the main attack will be the town of Devonport focusing on the Airport to the east.
From the deck of the Enforcer one westland lynx carrying Sea Skua torpedo's is deployed against the patrol boats to assist the task force.

The patrol boats' ambitious attack falls short, all 5 boats are destroyed almost immediately. 3 are destroyed by the ships, the final 2 by torpedoes. The enemy forces concentrate on the east side of the Devonport... port.(?) The airport is defended by about 50% of all units, and both helicopters. The rest support East Devonport, with the SPGs in Girdlestone Park. The light tanks and half of the AA guns line up outside the park, tasked with defending the SPGs. The rest of the infantry are scattered throughout the city, RPGs and Snipers utilizing high cover while the soldiers fortify local shops and restaurants into small outposts.

As the UDKA task force draws closer the Helmsman class opens the silo doors on 4 of its deadly payloads, as they draw closer in the night the light of 4 Polaris II missiles launching fills the night sky.
The missiles are targeted for the Anti-air defences and Artillery sites.
As the enemy helicopters are pinged on the Spruances radar SAM launchers are locked on and fired.

The Polaris misslies slam into 2 AA and 2 Artillery units, destorying them. The remaining 2 SPGs begin returning fire, trying to hit the Helmsman. The tanks and AA disperse slightly, to try and avoid subsequent missile strikes.
The SAMs cut down one helicopter, but the second breaks the lock and evades, flying back a safe distance and hovering low out of lock range. The enemy infantry begin barricading streets, setting up AT mines and HMGs at major intersections and roadways.

Uhh the missiles each have 3 MIRV warheads (Guess i shoulda mentioned that. ahh well) Another Polaris missile is fired with its warheads aimed at 3 points on the SPG site. (One per tank and one inbetween) With the Spruance unable to lock onto the enemy helicopter the Maverick fighter is scrambled. From the decks of the 3 main ships of the task force 3 Lynx's each carrying 10 Royal Marine Commando's (in full MTP combat uniform including Kevlar armour) are deployed to take the air field. Landing to the north of the Air port 2 Seeker class LCAC's carrying one Challenger tank each, 20 more Royal Marine Commando's plus Coyote TSV's are given orders to support the Air Assault on the airfield and flank from the north.

The warheads strike their targets, eliminating the SPGs without losing any boats. The tanks are also destroyed at the SPG site, leaving only the 3 light tanks at the airport.
The Maverick chases down the last chopper and knocks it out, evading missile lock from the other SAMs.
After the Lynxes drop off the troops, a SAM hits one, causing it to crash. 1 Lynx and 4 marines are killed in the crash.
The landing force encounters fierce resistance, covering their lighter armoured tanks with RPGs and snipers from high points. 3 marines are killed by the snipers while landing, the rest hide behind the Coyotes and Challangers. One of the soldiers spots the snipers grouped in the control tower, while the RPGs are on top of a smaller building immediately next to the tower.

As the Lynx comes down the 6 surviving commando's set up a defensive position around the wreckage engageing the enemy RPG's from behind.
On the beach head the MBT's are quickly ordered to engage the buildings, the Coyotes load up with marines and provide protection and suppressing fire to get them up the beach.
At sea the Enforcer class sets its guns upon the positions of the enemy RPG's at the airfield.

Seeing the large invasion force hitting the airport, all remaining infantry abandon their outposts in the city, using their jeeps to transport themselves to the western part of Pardoe Rd. about 5 minutes out from the airport.
2 Coyotes are lost from RPG fire before the RPGs are silenced. The main guns of the ship and tanks knock down the control tower, killing all of the snipers inside. From behind the wreckage, the 3 light tanks still at the airport roll out, firing on the MBTs. Another Coyote is hit and destroyed, along with it's 4 person cargo (Marines). Some jeeps also come out, strafing the UDKA invasion force.
From Port Sorell Rd., the previously hidden mortar crews begin firing on the invasion force.

As the mortar fire is spotted all marines and the tanks launch/throw smoke to cover their advance whilst the Harrier jet is co-ordinated in on the remaining SAM site and the mortars, the attempt to capture the airport is temporarily abandoned and the marines on site are order to get away, once they are away from the airport 2 more SLBM's are launched onto the airport, a third is launched at Port Sorell Rd prior to UDKA forces advancing on it to kill survivors.

The 3 tanks swarm one of your MBTs, causing a tread malfunction from a lucky shot. Its turret is still operational, and a light tank is also destroyed. The jeeps try again to engage the Coyotes, but are not successful from the lighter armament. All enemy jeeps are destroyed.
During its fly-over, the Harrier destroys both AA and makes a strafe at the mortar site, killing 2 crews.
The missiles level most of the airport, killing all but 15 riflemen and the 2 light tanks remaining, who join the re-enforcements from the city.
The next missile strikes dead on at the mortar site, wiping out the rest of the mortar teams.
The remaining enemy force is as follows: 65 Riflemen 10 Snipers 7 RPGs 5 LMGs 7 Jeeps
All units are seen pulling back from the airport, along Pardoe Rd. leaving AT mines and infantry traps along the way.

The remaining units of the task force are landing on the beach and are deployed against enemy units.
The harrier is ordered to strafe the road with guns and rocket pods to clear AT Mines and the traps.
The MH-47D chinook drops its payload of 50 Parachute Regiment troops (35 riflemen 10 snipes 5 rocketeers) to the south of the road and to the south west of the retreating Tasmanian troops, they are given orders to engage, as the chinook lands 2 of its 3 .50 cal guns engage as the troops disembark. (Tail gun and right hand side door gun.)

The strafe eliminates most of the mines and traps, as well as a few crews of saboteurs, killing 20 riflemen and 2 jeeps.
Given the choice between surrendering or making a final stand, the enemy barricades the intersection south of the airport, using jeeps and whatever other cover they can find, training their tanks and RPGs north towards the UDKA's advance, and their snipers and LMGs south towards the Chinook-deployed troops.

The harrier continues strafing the enemy forces and uses its AT missiles to lock and destroy the enemy tanks.
Whilst the helicopter force swarms from the south east, the landing force invades from the north east and the forces at the airport (MBT and coyotes + Marines) swarm from the north.
On the beach head the artillery guns are set up and fire upon the barricaded position.

Without dedicated AA, the enemy tanks stand no chance against the Harrier, and are destroyed.
The UDKA loses another Coyote and 4 of each infantry type in the push, but succeeds in taking the intersection. Tazmania is yours, 6.5k

As the UDKA guns fall silent following a single shot from an M198 from the ruins of the airport a lone group of buglers are heard performing the last post.
As they play the UDKA Flag is raised and subsequently lowered to half mast in memorial to the fallen Australasian troops.
