The Jarheads War


The Jarheads War was the first war the Cascadian Empire was involved in, and was fought very shortly after joining The Foreign Division. The financial aid received from this war provided a significant jump-start to the fledgling economy of the nation: initial war aid received was $3 million, from TFD's founder Tamurin, and later another $3 million was sent by Circlewood, towards the end of the conflict. The war itself also provided training in military basics that would prove useful in the next war: notably, LetsHunt, the Minister of Security at the time, taught Captain Canuck about the proper application of ground battle attack-types, and about the 2-2-2 attacking strategy, while then-Speaker Firebolt taught Captain Canuck about proper tank deployment.

The Cascadian Empire was a member of Alpha Company for this war, under the command of then-Senator Sir Volpe. Captain Canuck and Lord Zeath were initially paired as a strike team to attack Gleinor and the merked ghetto together, but some confusion and Lord Zeath's delay in entering the conflict put him out of range of the assigned targets, so the two TFDers fought on their own.



Captain Canuck's first target, Gleinor, was anarchied on the first day of the war after merely two ground attacks, and by the end of the day the Cascadian Empire was over 3 times the national strength of either target. Two days later, Gleinor surrendered to The Foreign Division and changed its Alliance Affiliation to "TFD POW" as per surrender terms, so Captain Canuck sent Gleinor a peace offer. Later that morning, the merked ghetto's government was anarchied by the Cascadian Empire's army. Upon learning of this, Sir Volpe gave Captain Canuck "open season" to attack anyone in his range in the Jarheads alliance: unfortunately, all other Jarheads nations were either in Peace Mode or too weak to be declared on. At this point, both Jarheads rulers became inactive. Gleinor never accepted Captain Canuck's peace offer, but no more attacks were launched by either nation, and the war expired on March 14. the merked ghetto went inactive before surrendering, so Captain Canuck continued to attack him with bombers and cruise missiles (the merked ghetto's ground army was too weak to be attacked) until the war expired on March 14.

All participant nations were too small to possess a navy or nuclear weapons, and at the start of the war none of them even had an air force or cruise missiles: Captain Canuck only acquired an airforce (Level 1 aircraft) and cruise missiles when LetsHunt instructed him to purchase 20 tech so these military units would become available. The Jarheads nations never acquired either. Spies were not used during this war because Captain Canuck deemed that the cost for spies and spy operations was not worth the return.
