OOC: Blocked, how exactly will you go around the line? Also we have anti-aircraft guns like everywhere landing a dropship is basically impossible, and to go around the line, you would need to conquer, the great forest, and the minor tribes, the line spans the entirety of our territorial claim, also why is there an outland autonomous range from the east, I thought we all agreed that the gorge would divide the outlands and chima?
OOC: A quick run down of the Ryloth line (The rhino line protecting rhino territory)
*At the front of the Ryloth line on both fronts, is barbed wire, stretching across, the entire field, behind it are entrenched and dug in anti-tank guns*
*Behiend the anti-tank guns there are rocky hills (resembling almost a wall with small gaps between the hills), inside the hill are built in canon-turrets and machine-gun turrets*
*There are also 4 massive retractable walls on either front situated amongst the hills, to allow vehicles to get out into the field*
*The hills are all inter locked through underground tunnels, which are used to store supplies, but also for troops to sleep in*
*Behind the hills of turrets are anti-aircraft guns*
Scorpix has his legions converge on Ryloth's line in order to get through into the HQ. Wing Strikers swoop down, blast and rip many of the anti-tank guns, and blast a large opening in the barbed wire, only to be shot down by the anti-aircraft guns. Stinger Tanks begin swarming through the opening in the wire and begin targeting the turrets with all their firepower, but many stinger tanks are overwhelmed and destroyed. Still, many of them are able to rip the anti-aircraft guns to shreds with their claws, allowing the Wing Strikers and Stinger-Copters to double around and perform a bombing run on the rest of the anti-tank guns, anti-aircraft guns, and canon/machine gun turrets. Before the tanks can get through the wall, however, they are bombarded by laser fire from the west. Scorpix: "What is this...?"
It is Lycor's forces, which had curved around from the northwest (hidden behind the mountains), to attack the crawlers from the sides. Rock Flinger tanks catapult boulders into the ground and air, crushing tanks, Wing Strikers, and Stinger-Copters alike. Many Wing Strikers are able to get above the 4 walls and start bombing the rhinos below, but are intercepted by Lycor's twinblades. Lycor: "Okay, scorpion general. Let's see how you react to this."
*Rhino anti-tanks situated in the ground, are out of most tanks turret reach, and so they lay waste, on the massive numbers of scorpion tanks*

OOC: Didn't finish my previous post*
IC: (The anti-aircraft aren't hit by the tanks, as they are behind the wall of turrets) *The anti-aircraft guns rip most of the wing strikers, flying through, Rocket Artillery pulls up and begins shooting down any and all remains of the airforce*
OOC: What barrier? There are only foxholes occupied by infantry and tanks in hull down positions.
IC:
As the enemy aircraft start approaching, the IFVs and dedicated AA vehicles among the Lion forces shoot them down with a hail of rockets and autocannons fire, and the tanks continue firing together with the infantry at the approaching forces from several hundred metres.
In the nearby airfield, a squadron of helicopter gunships and fighter jets take off to support the ground forces.
OOC: I meant the big group of tanks that was blocking the Crawler tanks from getting north.
IC: Reinforcements arrive in the air and begin pummeling the cannons and tanks on the ground with laser blasts and missiles, cutting larger openings through the forces and allowing the bat and scorpion tanks to get through. As the Bat Super-Tanks and Stinger Tanks move forward into the Northern Territory (now they'll be on the Iron Mountains topic), the Wing Strikers and Stinger Copters shift their attention to the gunships and jets, intercepting them in the air in an attempt to prevent them from providing aid to their ground forces.
OOC: To get past through the ryloth line, they would need to knock out the defences, and pass through the quarrys and the massively armed civilian populous. Also you only mentioned, how the bats cut through lion forces, not through the Ryloth line, which is still standing. I.e. the battle stays here
"This is Sunray Major to all Foxhound, Shelldrake and Ironside units, you are clear to engage! I repeat, weapons hot, engage when in view!"
Before even reaching the mountains, the large concentration of enemy forces painting themselves as a large, glowing target, start being pounded by rocket artillery and high-explosive shells, tearing infantry and light vehicles into shreds. As they start to close in, they are shot by IFVs and tanks, targetting infantry and heavy armour.
(OOC: Sorry! Black Overwatch troops already capped rhino mines via blitzkreigs, YOUR NEXT!!! )
OOC: One problem with that argument the rhino mines (at least at the iron mountains) are in the West, and if we say that you did, invade from the East, the only mines you would have taken would be Eastern Lion Mines

(Up North from the iron mountains, a sound erupts, the scorpions feel an earthquake)
*A giant mega laser appears, and shoots down most of the dropships before they land, (since the tanks cant get through as jgread said) the heavily armed rhino population, begins to walk out of their quarrys and blast the elite troops,, no matter how elite they are, their are thousands of blaster bolts firing non-stop at them*
*100 rhinos on the eastern front defect, 50 from the ryloth line, and 50 from the rhino tanks, this comes out to 8 defected rhino tanks, and the rhinos in the ryloth line, are arrested* *This event was orchestrated by a rhino called Putin (Not political) who tried to get a revolt to form a republic in rhino lands*

OOC: OK, flying vehicles could get in there, but not the tanks yet. The walls of the Ryloth line have so far been blocking the Crawler ground vehicles from getting into the HQ.
(OOC: The Striders are “Walkers” class. So they can traverse mountain terrain nicely. Oh, and the Black Overwatch went around their lines. Havent you seen my map? I guess they are holding off in southern and western corners. They came from the NE, so my version of the schliffen plan worked. Grounded APC’s were forced to go around the mountains in the north east of the iron mountains and outland mountains that boarder it. Airborne dropships and the Spider Striders went through the mountains and arrived there first. The APC’s froze a couple times in the north but the Overwatch still prevails and has capped the mines swiftly! But if Smirnov pulls a fast one, i’ll crush em’! I’ll crush em’ all with the power of the Black Overwatch’s other-worldly might! -insert evil laugh here- )

OOC: Congrats on Highland Battler. Also, have you been using Brakket's forces or have they just been in reserve?
IC: *A convoy arrives from the minor tribes consisting of 500 MCSTs, Growina, and Ranger. There are various wolf vehicles, some lion tanks, and a lot of speedors.* *Ranger jumps out and salutes the rhino and gorilla general. He then stands beside Growina, waiting for orders.*

But to comply with you, don’t you see where we are going, were going through and around the mountains. I made this map and i abide by how I improved on it. We aint bashing ourselves against a defensive line just so we can fail. )

Griffon gunships roam the skies above Rhino mines and settlements, hunting and shooting down any drop ship, Strider of overwatch soldier unfortunate enough to stumble upon them.
Meanwhile, entrenched machinguns and IFVs line important locations, preventing the airborne infantry from leaving.

IC:
Several tanks go up in flames, under air attack, however, the aircraft are once again shot down by the several SAM sites, hidden amongst the mountains. A chaff screen, disrupting radars is deployed, and the tanks back up into the Mountains, to more favourable grounds.
The Lion jets detach from escorting the helicopters to hide amongst the clouds.
The flying Crawler vehicles in that area regroup and fly to where Scorpix' legions are.
