"Larry, table three's still waiting for their order!" Larry, a man who worked at a Jamaican restaurant, had been nearly worked to death today. The restaurant was extremely busy today, and he didn't have time to be dealing with moronic tourists. He had to get home, but thankfully the entire day would be worth it. He was expecting a big call today that could get him higher up in the pyramid of high paying jobs. However, as soon as he thought this, he heard the phone ring, and he went over to get it. "Hello?" "It is time. Execute Order 32," a voice on the other line said, before hanging up. Something in Larry's mind clicked: a form of subliminal messaging. He felt compelled to obey, and his eye visibly twitched as his brain switched gears. He would find the nearest Liquidator gathering and assist them in executing Order 32. He immediately walked out of the restaraunt and began searching for more Liquidators. Others across the country were doing the same thing. It was the beginning. The beginning of the GLA's rise. Eventually, Liquidator commanders found each other in various cities and began raising angry mobs with hateful speech against the Jamaican government. They had begun to swell the fires of discontent among the impoverished and uneducated and make them into extensions of the GLA's will. (OOC: This is a battle to begin the testing of Edmund Wilson's new battle system and map system. I will be participating in this. This may be canon to the plot, but it is still just a test. This is the uprising against Jamaica. Come at me bruh.)

Word soon spread to the Prime Minister of Jamaica, Andrew Holness, about the sudden uprising across the country. Concern was the word of the day as rioting began to engulf the streets of cities across the island. Inside the Jamaica House, the official residence of The Prime Minister. Andrew had gathered his domestic affairs minister and head of The Jamaica Defence Force to coordinate the response. "Here's the current plan to sort this situation." He explained while pointing to a map of Jamaica and its key points. "The police force that's spread across Jamaica has plenty of weapons that they use in their normal line of duty. They are to deploy enmasse and quell the riots." He informed them. "I do not want to get the military involved, but I would like them to ready up. The 1st Battalion, Jamaican Regiment is in Moneague, while the 2nd and 3rd Battalions are here in Kingston. They are to arm themselves and be ready to be deployed to bolster the police if shit goes south." The order went out immediately and the army prepared while the police armed themselves and deployed for mass riot duties.

"G-L-A! G-L-A! G-L-A!" The voices of the people cried out over the buildings of cities like Kingston and Moneague. The insurrections were getting out of control, and police had to resort to desperate measures, using tear gas to start trying to disperse the discontented crowds. It was madness as the mobs killed the rich and politically powerful. However, it would only be a matter of time. Near the outskirts of forests across Jamaica, an armed and ready division of Liquidators lied in wait. Six key points of the entire operation were meant to either be captured or Liquidated as per their protocol. They had gotten their mission from the Jamaican Liquidator Commander, Chad Richards, which was to simply behead the government as quickly as possible and cripple the military infrastructure so that it could be easily replaced when the time came. (OOC: Please teach me your ways Retro.) The Liquidators had already stolen enough military transports in the chaos of the insurrections to transport their troops in hours. There would be blood, and that blood would signal the reinforcement of true GLA troops. (OOC: Since this is your thing, I should probably see exactly how you're doing it so that I can better my own.)

News quickly reached the government about the organisation that had caused the riots. This caused the mood in Jamaica House to darken to a frightening degree. "Call the Governor-General." Andrew ordered. "This situation just went south... Badly." The domestic affairs minister immediately began to call the aforementioned official. "The GLA are here... We are going to need far more than we can currently muster." Andrew mused. "Ask the Governor-General to inform The British Government. This is only the beginning." Andrew then turned to his general. "Mobilise The JDF, have the 1st Battalion head west to Montego Bay and secure the airport. The 2nd Battalion is to head from Kingston to Port Antonio. The police are to remain armed and have my express permission to use lethal force to subdue any dissidents they encounter." The battalions mobilised and immediately began their movements towards Montego Bay and Port Antonio. The 1st battalion and 2nd battalion would take two hours to get to their specified destinations.
The Governor-General was swift in calling up Prime Minister Edmund Wilson . All that was needed to be said was "The GLA are here" for Edmund to thank the Governor and hang up. He then put a call through to the Chief Of The General Staff. "Field Marshal Pound, this is The Prime Minister. You are to mobilise two divisions, the Guards Armoured Division and Guards Division. They are to be shipped to Jamaica immediately. The GLA have caused an insurrection on the island. Meanwhile, have The Royal Bermuda Regiment and Royal Gibraltar Regiment arm up and put on a plane to Montego Bay, along with the 22 Special Service Regiment." After a few moments of listening to Pound summarise the time scale of such a deployment, Edmund thanked him and hung up. The mass mobilisation began with earnest. While Jamaica mobilised it was still in a precarious position. The reinforcements from Bermuda and Gibraltar numbered only a single battalion each, both being only for defence of the two locations their names were made from. However, this was an exceptional circumstance. Meanwhile, the two Guards divisions would taken even longer to arrive due to their heavy equipment needing to be taken by ship instead of by plane. In summary, the British/Jamaican forces would need this long to get into position. Bermuda Regiment (Air): 2 hours, 30 minutes Gibraltar Regiment (Air): 12 hours 22 Special Service Regiment (Air): 18 hours Guards Armoured Division & Guards Division (Sea): 20 days

Montego Bay Airport, JamaicaFour hours had passed since the call for help had been sent to The United Kingdom. In that time, planes and ships had been mobilised, while some formations had already arrived in Jamaica. Montego Bay Airport was now reinforcemed by two battalions of trained soldiers, the 1st battalion of The Jamaica Regiment and the only battalion of the Royal Bermuda Regiment had arrived by soft skinned transport vehicles and by plane respectively.
The Royal Bermuda Regiment was to take the transports of the 1st Battalion, Jamaica Regiment and head south-east to the rail yards of Catadupa. The rail line there connected Montego Bay to Kingston and Port Antonio, which would allow the rapid reinforcement of troops across the island, if it remained in British/Jamaican hands.
Across the Atlantic Ocean, the Gibraltar Regiment was already in the air and enroute to Jamaica, along with the 22 Special Service Regiment. The two combat ready divisions were already in their ships and sailing towards the Atlantic, but wouldn't arrive in Jamaica for 20 days.

2nd Motorized Liquidation Platoon ETA: Arrived 1st Motorized Liquidation Company ETA: 2 Hours 1st Motorized Liquidation Platoon ETA: 2 Hours Minutes Reinforcement ETA: 9 days, 4 hours Catapuda, Jamaica2015 Hours "This is 2nd motorized Liquidation Platoon to Cell Command: we are arriving at the first target." The night was young, and Liquidator forces were already en-route to one of the six targets. It would be a bloodbath for those who got in their way. They had stolen local buses and trucks in the chaos of the insurrections they had started, and after a little modification, were nearly at their destinations. Liquidation of the Jamaicans was all that was necessary, and they had strict orders to leave no military or political survivors.
"Cell Command here, you are clear for Liquidation procedures. Leave none alive," the voice on the other end spoke.
"Roger," was the reply, and the driver of the vehicle stopped at the designated point: the old, disused Catadupa train station. Liquidator commanders as part of the 2nd motorized platoon would use the station as a temporary command center would be set up.
"Alright soldiers, get up and get out. We have a military machine to dismantle!" Liquidators immediately jumped to their feet and moved out from the technicals and buses, aside from all but a few. They began to surround the small military barracks in the area. Recruits and already-graduated soldiers stood at attention at their posts, but had no idea of the encroaching threat coming upon them. It would be great and bloody. Liquidators with blolt-action rifles stationed themselves on sniper points with spotters to see incoming threats and to deal with long-range targets, while Liquidator assault units positioned themselves on the flanks. The vehicles, with Liquidators inside, then came up to the gate and began barreling through. Yells of surprise and pain were heard as the battle buses opened their doors and Liquidator chemical troopers stomped out.
"Your reckoning is here, defilers!" one screamed as he began spraying lethal nerve gasses across the area in order to incapacitate or kill. Those with anthrax sprayers were in small quantity, but more of the caustic chemicals would arrive.
"Sniper teams, your move!" One screamed as he shot a Kalashnikov at several of the panicking soldiers, who had already begun to recompose themselves. Immediately after, the familiar sounds of high-caliber shots were heard ringing across the base.

310 out of 860 perished. Panic engulfed those that were the first to encounter The Liquidators. Men screamed as their skin was corroded by the anthrax spray, while those who had the misfortune of breathing in the nerve gas succumbed almost instantly. "GAS MASKS, MEN!" The battalion commander called out, his message was then repeated by anyone who'd heard. "WE'RE BEING SUBJECTED TO A GAS ATTACK!" Respirators were swiftly donned to negate the nerve gas, but the anthrax sprayers were still causing casualties, along with the trained shots of snipers. However, the men rallied and took cover, valiantly stalling the terrorists so that their heavy weapons could be deployed, consisting of grenade machine guns and light mortars. Once they were ready, the mortars began to rain canister and high explosive shells on the surrounding landscape to deter and kill the snipers, while the grenadiers began to unleash their air-burst and high explosive grenades on the enemy infantry that were stubbornly trying to destroy them.

25 out of 50 casualties sustained (OOC:Question, does the D3's roll mean that I loose the battle again? Or do we restart it every time for the aggressor vs the defender?) 1st Motorized Liquidation Company ETA: Arrived 1st Motorized Liquidation Platoon ETA: Arrived Reinforcement ETA: 6 Days, 4 Hours Catapuda, Jamaica2025 Hours
"They've donned their masks! Break them!" a Liquidator yelled as he saw a Jamaican soldier run through the cloud of nerve gas into the way of an AK-74's range. They had begun to charge into the fray, loosing soldiers left and right as they pushed through. Snipers continued their onslaught as they shot those who dared to step out into their line of sight.
"Technicals, we need fire support!" one spoke on his comms, and as soon as he finished, two technicals rolled in through the broken entrance and began giving cover fire. However, one of them exploded as grenades were shot at them.
"Take cover!" All of the Liquidators hid behind structures or other forms of cover in order to escape the hail of explosions.
"Sniper teams, we need you to deal with those grenadiers and mortars!" Immediately, the snipers began moving to different positions to get better aim at the suppressing fire coming from the light artillery pieces.
9 out of 250 casualties sustained Kingston, Jamaica2223 Hours"When can we attack?" one Liquidator queried. The commander of the company merely grumbled in annoyance at the question. He, along with other Liquidators from the 1st Motorized Liquidation Company, had only one job: Liquidate the Jamaican government and take it by storm. He had explained it 3 times in order to make sure everyone knew their objectives. Civilian and military liquidation was an option, but what was necessary was the liquidation of government. At that moment, the Liquidators began their move. Two platoons of Liquidators were sent to deal with any military resistance, while the remainder were being sent to the capitol to liquidate the government.
"Die, all of you! One stated as he began throwing thermite grenades from his window.

Catadupa, Jamaica - 2026 HoursOmar Al-Ghazi : It counts as a new attack, which means I'm required to roll again. However, the 25 casualties you sustained are from the roll that we did before since you've yet to provide a number. 33 out of 550 dead. The presence of the technicals made the battalion commander reconsider his options. "FALL BACK!" He commanded over the radio. "All units are to fall back, we'll take care of them later!" The mortars and grenadiers began to slowly pack up and retreat while the foot soldiers provided covering fire for them. 33 men fell in the attempt to escape, but their sacrifice would not go unrewarded. The vast majority of the Royal Bermuda Regiment that had survived had escaped to fight in the near future.
Kingston, Jamaica - 2225 HoursOmar Al-Ghazi : You're too early with the 1d100, since you've not received my roll, ergo, you might not actually have to do a 1d100 at all since I might lose. Also, your calculation of the percentage is wrong. 250/100=2.5 2.5*27=67.5 68 Liquidators Dead. 163 Soldiers out of 860 dead. The 3rd Battalion had been on high alert from the onset of the conflict and were fully aware of what was coming for them. So, they were not surprised in the slightest when Liquidators began to attack. They had dug in with their grenadiers and pioneers, allowing them to begin raining down the fires of hell upon Omar Al-Ghazi 's elite as soon as they showed their NBC suited forms. Andrew, the Prime Minister of Jamaica, looked out of his window at the battle that was raging not far from his official residence. He could hear the faint explosions and shouts of the brave soldiers who were giving their lives for the country he had been elected to lead. Tears rolled down his cheeks as he imagined them falling gallantly against the mighty Liquidators. However, the situation on the ground was far more optimistic. They were losing soldiers, but were more than capable of punching back harder than the enemy could.
Montego Bay Airport, Jamaica By now, two more formations had arrived. The Royal Gibraltar Regiment, another one battalion formation for home defence, and 22 Special Service Regiment, a combined formation of The Parachute Regiment, Special Air Service and Royal Marines, had arrived. While the Gibraltar Regiment was another infantry battalion with no heavy transport, the 22 SSR was armed with Land Rover Wolf WMIK's (Weapon Mount Installation Kit). After disembarking from the aircraft and prepping their equipment, the 22 SSR and Gibraltar Regiment immediately set out to reinforce the battered Bermuda Regiment for a counterattack against the Liquidators that had captured Catadupa and its rail yards.

Catadupa, Jamaica - 2200
Omar Al-Ghazi: Time for me to go on the offensive. Since this is three battalion sized formations combined, it's a brigade. However, due to one of those battalions being special forces, I receive an extra number on the dice for attack, but if I lose/win, the casualty roll still relies on the actual size as explained.
Over an hour had passed since The Royal Bermuda Regiment had retreated from The Liquidator Platoon that had attacked them. However, they were now reinforced by two battalion sized formations. The Royal Gibraltar Regiment and 22 Special Service Regiment. The three units had now joined up into a temporary brigade sized formation and were now rolling forth to Catadupa with the aim on retaking it and driving out The Liquidators that had captured it. The commandos wasted no time in driving straight at the enemy. The guns from their armoured Land Rover Wolves blazing as the passengers also took shots at The Liquidators from their seats. The infantry of The Royla Bermuda and Gibraltar Regiments were quick to follow their spearhead, the pioneers having already set up their mortars before the commandos set up and were now bombarding the GLA with canister and high explosive shells.

Reinforcement ETA: 4 Days, 6 Hours Catadupa, Jamaica2028 Hours
19 out of 25 casualties sustained Formation downgraded from platoon to fire-team Skirmish Lost"Lieutenant, we need to look at the facts. We cannot keep pushing! I suggest we destroy what we can and either fight to the death or start Protocol 66!" The Liquidators of Catadupa command continued to discuss on this. However, one of them immediately turned to his communications. "Catadupa platoon. This is command. Execute order 66!" As soon as the order was given, the remaining survivors of the Catadupa assault followed their psychological programming and bit down on the capsules hidden in their teeth. Those that were in the train station did the same, and while the ones outside died of cyanide poisoning, the ones in the train station died in terror, for their capsules were filled with Fear Toxin.
Kingston, Jamaica2234 Hours Liquidating the CapitalLiquidators fought across the streets in order to secure their goals. The team that was en-route to the capitol had encountered fierce resistance, and now were readying their weapons for breaching the capitol building. The local security died easily outside, and two Liquidators broke the door down. As soon as they did, government officials going about their business looked in their direction only to be shot down like dogs. They began to split apart from each other as they began going throughout the building, beginning to shoot those who were caught in their sight. Screams of help were heard throughout the halls as Liquidators breached the capitol. Those outside continued to fight bravely, but a decent amount were killed when they had originally breached the capital of Jamaica.

Due to this being a stalemate, the roll will be 1-99 for both sides, unless one outnumbers the other. If one outnumbers the other, then the reductions still apply. 353 Soldiers dead. It had occurred to Andrew, The Prime Minister, that he would be targeted for liquidation, so he'd ensured that a group of the 3rd Battalion would be in Jamaica House, his official residence, to protect him. Regardless of their numerical superiority against the smaller Liquidator Formations, they were still feeling the force of Omar Al-Ghazi's elite. Scores of Jamaican soldiers littered the streets as they fought, tooth and nail, for every inch of Kingston against their toxic foes and their deadly weapons. While they were unable to decisively defeat them, The Jamaicans were able to stall The Liquidator advance and prevent them from assassinating The Prime Minister for now.
Catadupa, Jamaica - 2312 HoursThe brigade of troops from The UKs overseas territories wandered the area surrounding Catadupas rail yards. Littering the final defensive position of The Liquidators were the bullet riddled corpses of the platoon that was left to guard the location, while 6 were completely unharmed, but some smelled of bitter almonds, the only indication of their suicide by eating cyanide pills. The rest were wide eyed and had a deathly expression etched onto their faces, as if they'd seen their worst nightmares. Suddenly, the radios of the troops crackled into life. "All units, this is command." It crackled. "The 22 SSR and The Royal Bermuda Regiment are to mount up on whatever nearby trains are movement worthy and are to go, full team ahead, to Kingston. We've received word of Liquidators in the capital, most likely to assassinate the government, over." The soldiers left the bodies where they lay, they were needed elsewhere. Half an hour later, selection of trains were assembled with carriages that were swiftly loaded up with the necessary equipment for the Gibraltar Regiment, while the commandos of the 22 SSR fired up their Land Rover Wolves and began roaring down the road towards Kingston, leaving The Royal Gibraltar Regiment to hold the fort and dig in. ETA to Kingston: 2 Hours.

Kingston, Jamaica - 0132 Hours
The train from Catadupa, inhabited by the men of The Royal Gibraltar Regiment, began to arrive in Kingston. 22 Special Service Regiment were arriving almost simultaneously by road, their Land Rover Wolves' engines roaring as they thundered into the city. The soldiers were quick to unload and reinforce their comrades of The 3rd Battalion, Jamaica Regiment, which had beaten off The Liquidators strike. Now was the time for Jamaica to bite back. The new brigade sized formation immediately took the opportunity to strike hard before The Liquidators could. The commandos leading the charge with their vehicles while the rest followed quickly behind. Many had died over the past few days, this determined attack was hopefully to be the last for a long time in Jamaica.

Due to Omar Al-Ghazi's absence and lack of correspondence to inform the interested parties why he's not replied, it's therefore prudent to consider the battle a victory with no casualties to the attacking side. Omar Al-Ghazi is therefore required to roll 1d100 to ascertain how many of his forces were eliminated due to his laziness. The combined forces of Jamaica and The United Kingdom slammed into the Liquidators, taking them completely by surprise. The Commando spearhead wreaked havoc as they mowed down the NBC suited terrorists with a hail of machine gun fire from their armoured Land Rovers. The Prime Minister Of Jamaica was quick to receive a brief radio transmission from the commander of the formation that had assaulted the GLA forces. "Prime Minister, this is Command. Enemy has been attacked, mopping up is commencing, over." Andrew breathed a sigh of relief before turning to his army chief of staff. "I do believe a drink is in order."

40 Liquidators remain out of 182 Formation downgraded from Company to Platoon As mortars and grenades rained down, Liquidators tried to push through, but to no avail. The best they could even try was to dispense their gaseous weapons. Nerve gasses and heavy doses of anthrax were released, but to no avail. As new forces came into Kingston to fight against them, the Liquidators had no hope. "Retreat!" many shouted as they fell back towards cover in the buildings. It was a terrible fate, however, as grenadiers shot cluster munitions into the buildings, the shrapnel killing any who stepped into the way of them. The commander of the Liquidation of Jamaica watched in dissapointment as he picked up his phone. He then called to GLA assets in Africa and waited for someone to answer. "This is Kassad...what's the status of Jamaica?" "The Jamaican Liquidation Cell has fallen, what are your orders?" Silence was heard for a brief moment as he waited for his next order. "Begin Order 66 Protocols country-wide. Destroy any evidence or equipment that's been left behind," the self-proclaimed Prince bluntly stated, earning only a "yes sir" in reply. As Liquidators scrambled to destroy equipment and evidence of their being there, many swallowed their cyanide capsules. Only in the end did the Liquidator commander purge the rest of their commanding facilities by ordering the release of all of their chemical agents in the area at once. The operation had failed, and when Omar returned, there would be fury. (OOC: I believe this is where the battle ends. Edmund Wilson can do the closing of the battle and the news report on the situation. I think this test of the new battle system went a lot less smoothly than it could've , but still shows the major points of the new system.)
