The End of the Wall: A Post Cold War game starting in 1989 - Games

Sorry lads, I haven't written today as I spent the majority of the day running important errands involving finances and boring stuff like that.

By that you mean fapping to premium porn and seeing your money going away. I know the feeling.

Things Done: World Events Korean War (Part 3) Slowly died inside. Things to Do: Israeli-Arab War Individual Countries Map I'm going to probably post the Korean War and Israeli-Arab war sections at the same time. I'm pacing myself a bit so as to keep myself fresh. I don't want to leave your turns barren and boring because I've gotten tired later in the stages of the writing.

FEAR US

Things Done: World Events Asia Europe Things to Do: Israeli-Arab War Americas Edit Korean War (Part 3) I've decided that the segment I had written for the Korean War wasn't good enough, it was pretty bare and potentially confusing as to the current state of things.

I'm hoping to have the war sections posted tonight

[B]The Second Korean War [/B] Music: [video=youtube;Jrpw-qrDe8M]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jrpw-qrDe8M[/video] [QUOTE]The summer wore on. Temperatures exceeded the usual 80-90 Fahrenheit (26.6-32.2 C), rising to the low 100s for days at a time. The excessive heat did little to improve Coalition morale. In spite of this, the front line slowly moved northward. North Korean forces fought and died as hard as possible for every yard of soil. Suicide charges with grenades held in hand became more and more common in last stand situations. North Korean soldiers often showed a startling willingness to die rather than surrender. On July 7th, exactly a year since the war broke out, President Bush ordered a troop surge. Over the next month the number of US personnel operating in the Korean peninsula would double. This overwhelming surge would prove to be what would break DPRK forces. On August 11th a two mile hole would be punched in North Korea's defenses in a brutal and bloody assault that would later be named Stricklin's Charge after Captain Scott Stricklin of the 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines. Lieutenant Colonel Drew Schultz, commander of the 2nd Battalion, was cut off from Stricklin, making the Captain the acting commander of his rifle battalion. Stricklin then made a brazen decision that was sure to vex his superiors after learning of it. He ordered a full charge, bayonets fixed, on a North Korean position that had withstood heavy bombardment both from ground artillery and carpet bombing. The order is said to have been made after yet another air bombardment was confirmed to have failed. Captain Stricklin is quoted as saying "To hell with this, those flyboys can't hit shit. Fix bayonets." Stricklin led his team through intense fire to capture an observation post, a mortar team, and an artillery position before assaulting a heavily defended line of bunkers. Stricklin darted up to the first position and lobbed a grenade through, neutralizing the machine gun team in the bunker. As he ran up to the second position, grenade primed and in hand, he was struck in the shoulder by machine gun fire. He pried the grenade from his now-dead arm and tossed it into the bunker with his left arm, killing the occupants. Rather than get aid for his mangled arm, Stricklin pulled out his sidearm and charged the third, and final, position. He shot the three North Korean soldiers almost point blank before finally collapsing. Following his heroic (and perhaps poorly thought out) actions his arm would be amputated. He would receive the Purple Heart and later he would receive the Distinguished Service Cross. Captain Stricklin's actions was the catalyst for a concerted offensive right up the middle of DPRK defenses. The North Korean line almost immediately buckled and broke, North Korean soldiers began streaming northward to escape the unstoppable tide of Coalition forces. What little combat there was lasted but minutes before the resistance was crushed. As fall descended Coalition forces had gotten mere miles from the Yalu. October 2nd would mark the beginning of the last major combat of the war. Near constant artillery bombardment by US artillery was only broken by quick strikes to surround pockets of North Korean soldiers. Generally the soldiers caught in these pockets would fight to the death, causing large amounts of casualties. Thousands would die until October 29th in these pockets. On the 29th a white flag was raised by DPRK forces. A coup had occured the night prior, Kim Jong-il had been killed by those who used to serve him. A ceasefire was arranged, followed by an unconditional surrender by all North Korean forces. The war was over. The final death toll of military personnel was counted as 263,450 Coalition deaths. Well over 750,000 DPRK deaths. An unknown number of civilians perished, conservative estimates stated 500,000-600,000. The largest estimate is well over 1.3 million. For the millions who were displaced the nightmare was only beginning. Large portions of the peninsula were ruined by the conflict. Even prior to the war North Korea hardly provided its own people sustenance. Now there was nothing. Massive columns of refugees streamed up and down the roads of Korea, searching for something to do, someplace to stay. Many died of starvation. As winter began many more would freeze to death. The infrastructure simply wasn't large enough to handle the masses of refugees. Some people were relatively lucky. They managed to leave the peninsula for other countries who would accept them and keep them safe. Hundreds of thousands would end up in India, Vietnam, the United States, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom. In most of these countries the refugees were offered more permanent residence if they managed to become contributing members of society. The worldwide economic toll of the war had yet to fully manifest by 1991. Europe and the Americas were still moving along. Asia, however, was feeling the effects. Korea's economy was effectively dead. Japan's already damaged economy had the pressure increased on it. The now-opening Vietnamese economy experienced a significant dip in its growth due to the weakness of its neighbors' economies. China managed to withstand the bulk of the impact as the calendar flipped to 1991 but they weren't out of the woods yet. Yet the world truly was better off this way. The news of the horrors of the labor camps of North Korea began spreading throughout the world. Europe shuddered at the similarities to the atrocities of Nazi Germany. Investigations into those that ran the camps and those that ordered such measures began in earnest. The people released from these camps would take years to be able to join society. Many would never recover. The ones born in those camps would never adjust to the world outside of those hellish places. No level of punishment for the perpetrators would ever make up for what happened to the victims in those camps. The only thing that can be done is the prevention of such things taking place elsewhere.[/QUOTE]

[b]The Levantine War[/b] [video=youtube;5VH9vbNFQos]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VH9vbNFQos[/video] [QUOTE]The war raged on through the summer of 1990. Little territory was gained or lost by either side throughout July or August yet thousands of lives were lost. Israel soon shifted its strategy entirely to an entirely defensive one. Very quickly the war became entirely one of attrition as Israel looked to make a meat-grinder of a defense. Extensive defenses were set up. Israeli artillery was dialed in on pre-prepared chokepoints for maximum damage during Arabian attacks. The Israeli Air Force quickly assumed total domination of the air and called a no-fly zone over the region. No one could enter, no one could leave. While all of this went on the Israeli Navy was fast at work choking off its enemies with extensive naval blockades. All trade ships were warned off. Warning shots were fired but luckily no trade ships from neutral states were sunk during this time, surely preventing the provocation of international intervention. The meager navies of the Arab nations at war with Israel were completely demolished within months. By October Israel enjoyed full naval and air dominance. Slowly the Israeli army gained the upper-hand on land as well. The Centurion tanks of Israel may have been outdated compared to the Soviet supplied T-62s and T-72s of its enemies but the training of their crews were undoubtedly better than those of the Arabian nations. This served Israel well as their whittled away at the armor of Syria, Egypt, and Jordan. By November almost all of the T-72s supplied to Syria had been wiped out. Egypt and Jordan fared little better. All was not well for Israel at home however. Palestinian terrorists continued their small scale strikes in Israel. Kidnappings, car bombings, and mortar and rocket strikes were especially common at this time. The people of Israel were both scared and very angry at their government for putting them in this deadly position. Small protests occur in Jerusalem but nothing large is organized for fear of terrorists taking advantage of the situation. Still, the displeasure of the Israeli people was beginning to show. As December rolled into January the casualty count was abhorrent. Over 270,000 Arabian soldiers were killed or injured by this point. 42,000 Israelis have been counted among the wounded, missing, or dead. The rate of casualties was surely unsustainable for the Arabian powers.[/QUOTE]

Who is fighting in the war? All of Israel's neighbors, or just Egypt and Syria?
