*President Erik Braxton is awoken during the night and told of the huge crisis in Kazakhstan. He immediately assembles his advisers in the situation room. After everyone has taken their seats, the president does as well.

"Options?" The President asked.

Secretary of Defense Ryan Blair clears his throat and speaks.

"SEAL team 6 is on standby in Qatar, Kazakhstani QR Forces have formed a perimeter around the Launch Facility. Snipers are in position and have reported that the enemy has Armor. I think we should greenlight the SEAL time, Commander Mason is a skilled tactician and can produce a plan for the situation, Mr. President." He said.

"I agree with what Mr. Secretary has said, Sir." Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of staff Michael Voght said.

"Kelley, any word from Russia?" The president asked the Secretary of State Kelley Anders.

"None Sir." she replied.

The President sat there for a very long time before coming to a decision.

"Green light to SEAL incursion. Give them what ever resources they may need, and contact the Kremlin, have them get Airforces mobilized." The President said.

"Yes, Sir!" The Secretary of Defense replied.*

*Commander John Mason, current CO of SEAL team 6, looked out the window of the C-17 he was flying on as they passed over the Middle East and entered the Mountains. He fell asleep for the remaining few hours and awoke and noticed they were nearing their destination, an airstrip some 30 miles from the Baikonur Launch facility.

The C-17 touched down and was taxied to a Hangar where a convoy of Kazakhstani vehicles were lined up. Mason and his 24 Man team exited the C-17 and loaded up in the transports and were transported to the hotel inside the small town.

In the parking lot, dozens of tents had been setup and vehicles and men were all over the area. When Mason and his team disembarked, a Kazakhstani Major General met them.

"I am General Stupikov, commander of all Kazakhstan troops in the area. If you need anything for your mission, just let me know and you shall have it." The General explained.

"Thank you General, we really appreciate it. Where can my boys and I set up shop?" Mason asked.

"We have reserved the ballroom inside for you and your men. I will show you the way." The General said, walking off.

Mason and his team followed the General inside the hotel. Around them, scientists, Soldiers, officers, and all other such manner of personal were running all over the place with papers in their hands. He noticed that none wore a Russian Military patch, and he wondered why that was..

General Stupikov led them into a medium sized assembly hall where tables and maps had been setup. He pointed to a large conference table.

"Phones to Moscow, Washington, and to me are there. Let us know when you and your men have formulated an assault plan." The General said.

"We will, thank you sir." Mason replied.

The general left and the SEALs setup shop. Maps and gear were placed on the tables. Cots were made, coffee handed out and chairs were put in a circle in front of a projector too which recent satellite images and recon photos were fed.*

*A German Bundeswehr Colonel steps in to the room where the briefing is currently held. He looks seemingly grim. He then clears his throat and prepares for his speech. He speaks in a deep German accent.*

"Welcome, American special forces. As we know, the Taliban has taken control of the Baikonur Cosmodrome. Intelligence says that they are planning to launch a nuclear missile somewhere towards Europe. With all that has been put up, Germany will back you up."

*Two squads of German KSK operatives entered the room as if they are surprise guests.*

"Americans, they will be part of your unit for this mission. Best of luck for this crisis. You are all dismissed now!"

*The German Colonel steps out of the room afterwards.*

OOC: NG, don't command the Kazach forces in the actual fight.

*37 hours remain.*

*The Taliban send a sniper team to eye the BlueFor from a safe distance, even on high alert and with drones in the air the likelihood of them being found is near zero.*

*The snipers dig in and camouflage themselves, keeping watch over the BlueFor.*

OOC: oddly enough i have never heard of the KSK, then again im only familiar with the GSG 9 lol but they are police special forces.

*Commander Mason salutes the Colonel and when he steps out, he sizes up the KSK operatives. He can tell right away that these guys are the German elite, blond hair for the most part, blue eyes, perfect Germans, as Hitler might say.

"Gentlemen, im sure you are all well aware that this mission has a high expectancy for casualties. If not then you are all well misinformed. Now if you please, join us." Mason explained, pointing to the conference table.

The KSK operatives take their seats and Mason walks to the front of the table.

"Gentlemen, our mission as you are all well aware, is at any cost, to prevent the launch of that missile and secure the launch facility. Lets talk about the plan itself..." Mason went on to explain..*

OOC: No plans for you ori :P

*After an hour of talking and debating and deciding, Commander Mason called General Stupikov and asked him to come down to see him. Mason hung the phone up and about 30 seconds later, Stupikov entered the room. Mason got up and walked towards him.

"General, how many men are in the area?" Mason asked.

"A third of the 5th Separate Motor Rifle Brigade has been mobilized and the remaining men are still being gathered up and transported here. 20 of our Tanks have arrived, mostly T-62s. Only a third of our APCs are here, and none of our artillery has arrived yet." The General replied.

"How fast can your men be ready to attack?" Mason asked.

"30 minutes, tops." The General replied.

"Get it done then. And when i give the order, all forces are to converge on the facility." Mason explained.

"Understood." The general replied and took off through the doors in a rush.

Mason called Washington and relayed his request to his superiors, they granted it and he hung up the phone.

"Gear up!" Mason ordered, fast walking to get his gear on.

The men got the lead out of their *** and suited up and filed out into the transports once again and headed off towards the airport where the C-130 sat fueled and prepped to go. The men boarded the plane and Mason took his seat and made sure his gear was ready to go and his comms were all set.

The Plane took off and Operation: Iron Hammer began.*

OOC: NG you really ought to cut it short. Also, TJ gave you command of his soldiers.

*34 hours remain.*

*Snipers relay information back to their base, the Luna-M's deploy and fire their Scuds at the BlueFor bases around the Taliban held Baikonur. Loaded with chemicals the Scuds strike and disperse the toxins over the bases killing and contaminating many if not all the gathered units.*

*Mason learns of the saddening and disastrous news by the horrible cries the officers on the ground were crying out. He decides to go with plan B and gets Washington on the line. After some minutes his CO responds and after minutes of conversation, his CO greenlights his request. Mason orders the plane to circle around the Hotel for a while longer.

After five minutes had passed, ground control contacted him and gave him an ETA: 15 minutes. Mason acknowledged the transmission and passed the word on to the other men in the C-17.

After 5 minutes had passed, the C-17 stopped Circling and rose to a higher altitude and went dark and began its route to the target drop zone.*

*Mason and his men still sat in the C-17 as it slowly headed in the direction of the Cosmodrome. He received word that more and more men of the 5th Separate Motor Rifle brigade had arrived to the noninfected areas, this time with more armored support.

Mason decided to try the plan again and contacted Stupikov and told him to ready the Brigade to move in. He got a curt message from ground control; "ETA: 1 minute."

Down below, 12 Subsonic Cruise missiles streaked through the air below radar level. They came upon the Baikonur facility like lightning, take out all ZSUs and the Radar stations officially making the enemy blind.

On both sides of the facility, hundreds of Kazakh Infantry and dozens of armored vehicles surged forwards. The T-62s began to pummel the inferior T-55s while the T-72s engaged the Taliban T-72s.

A little ways to the rear of the control building, Mason's 40 man team hit the deck as quiet as possible. The men take cover and wait.*

*With the Cruise Missile strikes the Taliban decide to start the launch immediately, the countdown goes to 1 hour.*

*Warriors look up and see 40 paratroopers, they raise the alert and open fire taking down some of them, machineguns are deployed to the area where the paratroopers will land and as soon as the troops land they are pinned down.*

*Tanks roll up to keep them completely suppressed.*

*Sniper teams fire on the Kazakh infantry moving up, camouflaged ambush sites unveil themselves and take out even more along with many armored units. Remaining tanks operate in pairs, one T-55 with a T-72.*

*Surrounding the nuclear missile are seven tanks all operating on a private radio frequency.*

OOC: Within limits and realistic, I had this planned from the start actually. The Taliban are an unconventional force and fight dirty, you just didn't use proper tactics to beat this.

*Russia finally responds, they send a message to the Americans explaining it will take time to mobilize their forces and get an understanding with the Kazakhs to cross to border.*

*The announce to the world that they have full confidence that the US will succeed to stop the threat without need of their intervention, but will send their forces to support or takeover if needed.*

*Officers located in the ranks of the Kazakh force radio back to the hotel for artillery barrages and 155MM shells pound the area around enemy armor and the ambush sites without remorse.

The Infantry take cover behind the Advancing APCs to protect themselves from sniper fire while the APCs suppress the enemy snipers by spraying up any sign of muzzle flashes with their Autocannons.

The T-62s and T-72s suffer casualties, but thanks to the artillery barrage, they manage to continue advancing with out further casualties for the time being.

Mason and his men hit the deck under heavy enemy fire and they find cover behind a small hill and surrounding rocks. A few SEALs roll out of cover just a bit and take aim with their LAWs and fire at the LMGs. The missiles streak through the air, some striking the LMG teams, others striking groups of men, causing them to take cover and stop firing.

Marksmen are then able to hop up and take out the remaining MGs but one LMG does manage to take down 3 Marksmen before its taken out. But enemy armor rolls up and begins to fire their cannons and LMGs suppressing the SEALs and KSK operatives once again.*

*30 Minutes remain.*

*Taliban fighters retreat back into Baikonur and closer to the missile which rises up from the ground, several fighters place charges on the warhead before it becomes out of reach, the detonators are spread out.*

*Tanks and armored units form a circle around the infantry, who stand their ground around the missile. The Luna-M's fire two last missiles and hit the advancing enemy forces just outside the base safely.*

*The remaining snipers detonate the planted charges placed around the entrance of the base as the BlueFor enter (planned from the start).*

*The SEAL's get a breather as many fighters and tanks retreat to the missile, the control center is locked out and the blast doors closed.*

*A megaphone starts to sound with a Taliban officer speaking in English.*

"Americans, we are willing to negotiate if you will cease your aggression. Fire and you will be fired upon, meet me at the blue house."

Taliban part, Russian part upcoming.

*Russian forces enter the combat area, a single Spetsnaz unit of 10 men. They rappel down from a Kasatka well away from the base, from the outskirts they take two jeeps to the frontline.*

*The Russians hear the Taliban leader request a meeting at the blue house, they decide to let the Americans handle it and go for the nuclear weapon. They take out their gear and climb down an unguarded launch pad, from there they use follow the map layout to the missile, taking out lone unsuspecting fighters and avoiding others.*

*Mason and his team recover from the firing and get themselves up and moving. Mason and his team covertly advance on the rear of the control building, they see men patrolling the roof and so Mason and his team stop and radio into the hotel HQ.

Mason orders more sniper teams to be deployed and snipers deploy all over, being able to pick off any target from any angle of the control room.

The snipers reported in and began taking aim on all the guys on the roof. Once they had their target sighted in, he ordered them to start clearing the roof and after 30 seconds all targets were dead due to the accurate semi-automatic sniper rifles the Snipers carried.

The snipers reported the area to be clear and Mason and his team threw up mini grappling hooks and began to climb the side of the Control room, careful to avoid and windows, which were obviously closed.

Once the men were all up and on the roof, Mason and his team covertly infiltrated the facility using the roof access, leaving 25 men behind.

Mason and his team could here fighters talking in Arabic and he could tell that they were headed up the stairs. Mason and his 8 men took positions in shadowy corners and waited until the Taliban made it up the stairs. Mason had his suppressed MK23 out and put a bullet in the fighter in the rear while his other men dropped the others with Similar weapons.

Mason dragged the bodies and piled them up. He then continued his way down the control room, clearing the floors, which were empty, and moving on.*

OOC: read that in the TC book :P since this is the only accurate description of a control room, im using it :P

*The Kazakh forces suffer less damage this time due them all wearing gas masks, but none the less, plenty of men do die, almost 50 but the Kazakhs keep going.

The Tanks clear a way through the debris and they come to a halt and begin to exchange fire with the Taliban tanks. Some APCs that were chemically protected managed to make it through the missiles and unload about 30 men to provide cover fire for the tanks and they begin to fire upon the enemy soldiers.

The remaining APCs however, turn their sights and blast away at the Control building with their Autocannons and unload infantry in the dozens which rush towards the control room.*

OOC: Ignoring peace eh? Oh and shooting my tanks that are right next to a Nuke, what could go wrong right?

*Taliban fighters inside the command center lock all doors and set up machieguns around most corners, fighters ready themselves and sit away from doors given Americans tend to blow those up.*

*Outside, half the forces start to point their weapons at the Nuclear weapon and the megaphone men starts to shout again.*

"Americans! Stop your aggression or we will detonate the weapon!"

Russia has the next move again.

*The Spetsnaz unit reaches the lower part of the missile, they throw a grapple up on a rampart and ascend to the weapon's control panel.*

*They pass along upwards a tablet console and jack it into the panel, they upload the deactivation codes for their stolen missile and the countdown stops.*

*They hear the fighting outside and turn to each other, saying short prayers, complimenting each other on a successful mission, wondering if it was worth it and hoping the Americans are able to stop the Taliban before they destroy the weapon manually.*

*The Spetsnaz commander contacts the Americans.*

"I have a plan, but you need to distract the Taliban that are gunning for the missile."

*The 25 men up on the roof take aim on the Taliban insurgents with Panzerfausts and LMGs. Once all the Spec Ops troopers had a lock on the tanks, the soldiers opened fire, first firing every single launcher they had against the Tanks, destroying or crippling every tank. Then the Soldiers began to waste the Taliban fighters with LMGs, Carbines, SMGs, And assault rifles.

Mason and his men continued to secure the launch control and gunned down Insurgents along the way. They reached the main control room, and the door was closed, it being made of solid steel. Two men were left to guard the door, while the 6 others, including Mason, secured the lower levels. Completely catching the Taliban fighters by surprise with Flashbangs.

After the lower levels are secured, the men stack up on the main door.*

*5 minutes remain till launch.*

*The Taliban above ground realize defeat is imminent and therefore let out a simultaneous roar to lower the BlueFor morale as they charge for the enemy, killing many mortified soldiers.*

*Underground, the Taliban prepare themselves for the final stand. Anything and everything that moves before their sights is killed. Many close their eyes and wait for the sound of a Flashbang before they open their eyes, in every squad that does this a single warrior does not close his eyes, his task is to yell out if there is a Flashbang at all.*

Russia next.

*Spetsnaz soldiers throw up Flashbangs which are followed by Smoke Grenades to disorient the Taliban and cover them as their soldiers climb up to disarm the charges on the missile.*

*Most Spetsnaz take down the dazzled Taliban from the cover of smoke.*

*The charges are disarmed.*

*Mason and the others breach the steel door and toss in flash grenades. The 8 man team then storms into the room, gunning down the disoriented taliban fighters. The Insurgent Leader takes a .45 bullet from one of the KSK operatives.

Mason contacts the Spetsnaz operatives and the Kazakh forces and tells them that the Operation is over, and its time to gather the dead and wounded.

US Corpsmen and Nurses and Doctors are deployed by dozens of Blackhawks and Chinooks. They tend to the wounded and help out the poisoned soldiers, either curing them, or putting them out of their misery.*

Description

In media across the world a message from the Taliban is broadcast. They demand that all Western forces invading the Middle-East depart immediately withing 48 hours or else they will launch a nuclear missile towards Europe.

Intelligence indicates that the missile will be launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome, which the Taliban captured from the Russians.

Taliban forces exist out of several dozen T-55's, some T-72's, ZSU-23-4 around the Cosmodrome, BTR-40B's ferry fighters around, two 9K52 Luna-M's and a few P-19's work on electronics and radar in the middle of the base.

Radar shows some ground disturbances around the base.

Russia is unable to join but has approved that other nations retake the base for it.
