The fire nation makes its move!

4000 men are shifted from the Fire nation into the Earth Kingdom, bringing the Occupation force up to a total of 12,000 men.

The 4000 new soldiers from the FN take up defensive positions in the colonies. The 8000 veterans go on the attack:

8000 soldiers are invested into both the Navy and the Air force. They sail down the river and attack the forces guarding the Serpents Pass.

Here are the factors that enable our victory:

- We outnumber the Earth Kingdom. We have 8000 soldiers in this attack. They only have 8700 in their entire military - they have to have far, far less than us.

- Our ships are superior to theirs - we have large metal warships that the wooden Earth Kingdom ships cannot stand up to - and this is primarily a naval battle.

- Although the Earth Kingdom has airships the same size as ours, we have cannons and bombs that they do not. Again, we outnumber them by at least two to one.

- Forknowledge from our WT allies has allowed us to use large quantities of meat to appease the Sea Serpent, rendering it harmless,for now.

- Earth Kingdom badgermoles attempt to block off the pass, but they are driven off by dragons, who attack from the air.

- Our waterbending allies protect our ships from water traps, allowing our navy to remain unscathed.

- Our soldiers are veterans - 3000 of the attacking soldiers have seen combat before, while the EK only has new recruits.

- Earthbenders captured as slaves are forced to fight, clearing a path through a number of defences.

- The only thing the EK has left is it's tanks, which are decimated when Azula herself leads a charge through the pass with 2000 veteran firebenders at her back.

The pillboxes are crushed under relentless bombing. Blockades and walls are brought down in a similar manner. The navy goes into bombardment mode.

A small force (represented by the white box) establishes a base up-river. There were no enemy soldiers there. Elsewhere, the same conditions are applied that were applied to the previous EK conquests.

In other news, the FN is working on a fleet of Gigantic Airships, the like of which the world has never seen. A secret construction prject is begun in the FN colonies.

Do my fellows have anything to add?
