Moderated Taiwan Invasion Wargame

It's been a while since I've posted here. But when I saw all those Taiwan threads in the GMD section, I had an idea...

How about we stage a mock wargame invasion of Taiwan? Where we designate a member to play the PRC Centcom, a member to play the PRC commander, and a member to play the ROC commander/centcom... they could post their moves in this thread, and a moderator would determine the outcome of each of the moves.

With that in mind, let me set down some starting conditions...

It is May 2008. The weather is steamy across the Taiwan strait, and Taiwan just elected another DPP leader in another hotly disputed election. The president decides to declare independence. The PRC gives him an ultimatum... 72 hours to back down or else.

He (or she) doesn't back down.

... and the scenario proceeds from there. The moderator can also play the moves of outside forces (USA, JSDF, ROK, DPRK...etc.).

Have fun!

Ok you can do it, but in proper place...wich is the members clubroom

Ok, I have just launched a pre-emptive strike against all PRC major surface combatants with amph warfare ships getting the highest priority with F-16 armed Harpoons. Any aircraft that can fly and carry weapons will be sent against PRC naval ships in this pre-emptive strike. I have also launched modified ASM strikes against military C&C sites on the PRC mainland. I have dispersed my armoured formations into company size units into major cities. I have begun setting up more than 15,000 roadside bombs along major routs to the sea and beach areas. These roadside bombs will be seamines, aircraft bombs and arty rounds. Arty tubes will be dispersed to cover suspected invasion beach sites. My best SF and airborne units will be ordered into civ CARS/SUV armed with any Antitank weapon that they can get their hands on to cover movement routs from beach heads. All bridges within 5 miles of the sea will be destroyed.

All men and women of fighting fittness will now be drafted to the freedom corps and given basic instruction on setting up roadside bombs. I have ordered all machine and metal shops to start producing a very simple panzerfaust/RPG style of weapon. I have ordered the military police to go out and shoot all PRC politocal backers.

All basments in the major cities will be interconnected into other basements and ratholes. Major armourys will be dispersed into smaller urban areas. clorine gas will begin to be made and placed into 120mm mortor rounds for use in "SOME AREAS" just enough to make the PRC army units go into MOP gear to cause battle fatigue if the ground war even happens. All ports on the west side of the island will be mined and destroyed. A 100,000 in gold coin will be paid to anyone who joins the freedom corp sniper platoons and has a confirmed kill on a PRC officer. I do request limited U.S intervention IE PGM attacks on PRC naval assets and want the U.S to start shipping/airdroping Javilin, Stinger, AT-4 and food stuffs.

YOUR MOVE COMMIE....CHEERS UTE.

are you an ROC commander? :roll:
seriously if you are, dont make me laugh ROC invading PRC? :roll:
thats like saying Cuba invading the US :roll:

NO NO NO, I am not invading china just attacking it with aircraft and missile. I am setting up for a defensive war on a very large scale to kill as many of the CHICOM I can. every thing I have stated can be done by the forces that the ROC has. I have a very aggresive defensive plan set up. It will make the Iraqi insurgents look like school girls.

PRC: Down those F-16s with S-300 regiments and PLAAF own air assets in Zhejiang province, then watch Taiwan perform its one-man show. Nobody said the invasion needs to happen right after they declare independence so I let them worn themselves out over a course of few months before making any further moves.

Your move

If Taiwan sends out its air force in an offensive manner, they would get show down by the deadly SAM systems and air defense fighters the PLAAF and PLAN have. On top of that, there are many reports stating how that the US has yet to ship BVR missiles for Taiwan's fighters. So how Taiwan's F-16's will be able to defend itself properly by losing a huge chunk of its air force is beyond my comprehension.

Well, since Taiwan launched a pre-empt strike, China has no reason not to strike back in full force. China's move: light up the airfields with hundreds of ballistic missiles and cruise missiles. This will force Patriot batteries to use up most of their precious missiles against the incoming BM's. Now, conduct saturated missile attacks against Taiwan's navy using JH-7A bombers and MKK-2 fighter bombers. A large chunk of Taiwan's navy would be resting on bottom of the South China Sea after 48 hours. Your turn Taiwan.

are you suggesting that the ROC strikes first? not only will they be condemn in the eyes of other nations but allies such as japan and America won't be in the position to aid taiwan because it wasnt the PRC who struck first

Yes I am. HELLOOOOO the PRC just game taiwan a 72hr deadline after that I think the world would reasonably believe that after that 72hours the PRC would attack. ALL NATIONS HAVE THE RIGHT TO A PREMPTIVE DEFENSIVE MOVE and I just did that. I am still forming a op-plan but I need some casulity figures on how much damage I did on my premptive attack to continue. YOU MUST BE REASONBLE ON CASULITY FIGURES MR MODERATORS as F-16 with HARMS and Harpoons would do a bit of damage to PRC naval assets and AirD network.

According to fas.org, Taiwan doesn't have any HARM missiles because the decision to sell them was deffered by President Bush. Also, Taiwan isn't too far away from the mainland so all of Taiwan would be under radar coverage. Launching a pre-empt attack without sustaining heavy casualties will be all but impossible. Since Taiwan doesn't have HARM, they won't be able to inflict any damage on China's air defense system. As for damage upon the PLAN's naval assets, it depends how many Harpoons the F-16's would be able to launch and how many of them would be intercepted. Right now Taiwan's F-16's can hold only 2 Harpoons. Let's say there is a large strike force of 20 F-16's and there are going to be 12 Mirages providing air cover. I beleive Taiwan has the Block I version of the Harpoon and that only has a range of 60 miles. To make the maximum effect with the Harpoons, the F-16's will have to come within a range of 45 miles (you can't launch missiles at their max range). Now, I don't know the exact range of the missiles on the PLAN's air defense destroyers, but I can safely assume that they exceed the range of the Harpoons. Basically, the mission is complete suicide. Taiwan will lost its all participating aircraft in that strike without even being able to effectively damage the PLAN. And even if Taiwan had the Block II Harpoon with a range of 80 miles, China's AWACs and ground based radars would have detected the approaching aircraft long before they even reach any PLAN assets and nearby interceptors would take care of the aircaft (it also doesn't help that Taiwan's BVR missiles are in storage in Haiwaii).

Basically, Taiwan's small force isn't for any offensive purposes. The only thing that Taiwan can hope for is to last as long as they can until the US arrives.
