Defense of Paris

The 1st Infantry Division, Currently Stationed inside of Paris has been notified of the enemy troops currently invading Reorganized France. Due to the extremely limited amount of Manpower and equipment available to the country at this time the Division is ordered to stay inside of and around Paris to protect the Capital City. Groups of around.

Infantry Squads begin setting up ambush points around Paris which include the creation of Foxholes that have Camouflage covers in an effort to disguise fighting positions. Mortars and Artillery begin setting up positions inside and outside the city with units inside the city setting up on roofs of tall buildings to better protect them from enemy infantry. Artillery units setting up outside the city prioritize setting up in wooded area's and make sure to avoid fields/plains.

Sniper Teams with Ghillie suits on station in the outskirts of Paris ready to attack enemy troops, They are utilizing Tree's, Bushes and man made fighting holes.

Note: Infantry Squads consist of at least 4 Rifleman, 1 Squad Medic, a Squad Leader, 1 machine-gunner and 1 AT Soldier.

The 1st Armored Division which consist of MBT's and IFV's are put on high alert while being stationed inside of Paris. The 1st Armored Division consist of 30 AMX-30 MBT's and 50 AMX-10P's

Due to the lack of soldiers in the regions of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté and Normandy, these 2 regions were easily occupied.

Battle of Paris: The Outskirts
Having taken most of Ile-de-France without much resistance, all that was left was Paris. The Nexonans are near the outskirts of the capital. The 1st Heavy Armoured Division, 1st Infantry Division, 4th Infantry Division and 3rd Mechanised Division are each split equally into 3 subdivisions. The 1st Heavy Armoured Subdivision, 1st and 2nd Infantry Subdivisions and 1st Mechanised Subdivision were based at Paris’s borders with the department of Hauts-de-Seine. On the other hand, the 2nd Heavy Armoured Subdivision, 3th and 4th Infantry Subdivisions and 2nd Mechanised Subdivision were based at the borders with Seine-Saint-Denis, whereas the 3rd Heavy Armoured Subdivision, 5th and 6th Infantry Subdivisions and 3rd Mechanised Subdivision were based at the city’s borders with Val-de-Marne. This manoeuvre had the capital surrounded and cut off from the rest of the world.

While preparing for the push into the city, some casualties were suffered when hostile artillery units and snipers fired at the Nexonan troops. Soon, it was identified that some of the artillery units had set up operation in wooden areas. The Nexonans retaliated by firing mortar and artillery shells at areas where the snipers and artillery units seemed to be operating from, as well as by calling in air support from the 3rd Multirole Squadron and 3rd Tactical Bomber Squadron, which launched air strikes at the enemies at the outskirts. Soldiers armed with Schilt P4 flamethrowers were also used to flush out snipers from potential hiding areas. In areas where air support was not necessary, the Nexonans sent in sniper teams to neutralise the hostile sharpshooters.

Having accomplished its missions in Normandy by default due to a lack of hostile targets, the 2nd Multirole Squadron and 3rd Fighter Squadron were sent in to launch air strikes, initially with the intention of destroying as many of the enemy’s armoured vehicles (namely main battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles). However, throughout their missions, hostile enemy units, particularly mortars and artillery units, were spotted on the roofs of tall buildings. The squadrons were then given an additional mission, namely to destroy buildings where these units were seen and any potential building that could be utilised to the Nexonans’ detriment.
