Thank you to all of Charlie Mike for making Chapter Three truly unforgettable. It was a trial of patience, loyalty and honor. The War on the Horizon was a huge undertaking for me, and it never would've gone as nicely without our members! Tribute video from the Horizon Islands News Network. Thank you to all the brave soldiers, sailors and airmen that gave their lives to protect everything we hold dear. The Horizon Islands Defense Force was aided by the Australian Defense Force in their fight against the PLA. Even at the end when the ADF were ordered to pull out, their entire ground force stayed behind to fight by our side. Even pirates joined arms with us to defeat the PLA. To all those that fought and risked it all, and to all those that gave it their all. Chapter 3: War on the Horizon was a scenario played out over many months in Arma 3 by the Charlie Mike Actual MilSim group. It depicted the fictional Chinese PLA invasion on the Horizon Islands in July of 2015. Though NATO refused to interfere, Australia sent a detachment of the ADF to assist the Horizon Islands Defense Force. The first battle fought was on Laghisola. Over the course of a month and a half hundreds of lives would be lost, service member and civilian alike. The superior leadership of the ADF with the limitless willpower of the HIDF ensured that they took victory on Laghisola. However, as the Chinese retreated, a submarine fired several torpedo's at the Australian Fleet, nearly sinking a destroyer. The Admiral retreated to the safety of Tanoa for weeks. It was just this opportunity the PLA needed to invade Pulau. In the course of a day one of the islands of Pulau fell to the Chinese, the local garrison able to do little more than send a message to Tanoa that PLA were invading. Despite several key victories, the HIDF were not able to hold back the PLA onslaught, and the ADF just arrived too late. As the PLA were making landfall on Tanoa itself, NATO uncovered evidence that the Horizon Islands planned to use a nuclear device against the PLA and ordered the ADF to withdraw from the conflict. Though the admiral was quick to accept and readied his navy for a withdrawal, General Stoneworth, however, refused. He gave those under his command the opportunity to return and every single one of them stayed. Dubbed traitors to their own nation, but brothers to freedom, the Horizon Islands promised them asylum, homes, work and passage for their loved ones. With a new-found respect for his comrade, Admiral Vickers of the Australian Navy vowed to give one last punch to the PLA as he departed. As luck would have it the PLA carrier, Liaoning, was left undefended. Vickers ordered his ships open fire in a single salvo, his fleet fired three. Damaging the Liaoning enough to force a full PLA retreat from Tanoa. The nearest port capable of repairing the ship being the Horizon Archipelago far to the north of Tanoa, the second battle of the Archipelago began. It ended with an 8 hour operation dubbed; The Siege of the Archipelago, that saw the HIDF deny ports to the PLA, be resupplied by pirates and deliver Betsy, a nuclear bomb, to the Liaoning. The loss of their only carrier forced a full PLA retreat from the area. Thank you all! Song: Victory Artist: Two Steps From Hell Album: Battlecry ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DP1MP7-5Ps
