Day 1

At Midnight, RedFor would deploy two recon teams to the rear accompanied by one APC, while conducting recon the teams encounter four patrols heading northwest under the cover of darkness.

At dawn, RedFor would commence its assault by spiliting into three autonomous combat groups of 2,000 which quickly advanced towards the center.

BlueFor's patrols had skillfully slipped away, taking advantage of the natural cover while in tight formation just barely approach hostile forces. the patrols had notified BlueFor of what seemed to be hostile forces. Bluefor in response would send out four more patrols this time comprised of regular infantry whose own objective was to distract RedFor thus loosing the pressure upon the wouldbe defenders.

BlueFor Patrols were ambushed around nine near an open field, RedFor squads on the ground overan the patrols. Two other APCs would be tasked with laying down suppressing fire giving infantry a chance to engage.

BlueFor Defenders would relay cordinates to Artillery positioned on the right flank, an event that was soon followed by six minutes of shelling forcing the enemy to retreat incurring casualties in the process. Armour would continue moving towards the town.
