(Roleplaying as Kosovo)
In destroying the power plants, the Serbian Air Force would've effectively made what was considered the most strategic blunder of the Kosovo Uprising, dooming the 34th and 27th brigade in Pristina and giving the advantage and momentum back to the Kosovars. As power eventually went out in all of Pristina, water would not be able to run. As a result, the entire Serbian garrison packed into such a small stadium would find themselves in horrible conditions. The human body can go for three weeks without food, but only a week without water. In combat conditions, that number would be much, much lower. The latrines would also be completely disabled, quickly deteriorating with the use of hundreds of Serbian soldiers. This was only made worse by the fact that no engineers could provide emergency power to the stadium. Dysentery and cholera would quickly spread as fecal matter would contaminate the scarce food and water in the stadium, leading to an epidemic. This would only be expounded by the lack of any medical company, battalion, or field hospital within the ranks of the Serbs. These combined effects, along with the constant, never-ending sniper fire, would have devastating effects on morale, lower combat efficiency, as well as harm discipline within the ranks of the Serbian Army.
Outside the stadium, as night fell, due to the constant sonic booms of the Serbian Air Force, many car alarms would continue to sound throughout the city. As a result, the KLA would be able to plan and conduct supply and combat operations at will within the completely pitch-black city. An immediate plan would be drawn up to completely destroy the Serbian garrison hunkered inside of the stadium. Under the cover of pitch-black night and loud car alarms, the KLA would secretly move teams into strategic positions along the road to the stadium and begin to push cars and other large amounts of debris to block the roads leading out of the stadiums to block any retreat from happening. Within these debris roadblocks, the KLA would plant improvised explosive devices. With the hope that the Serbian Army will attempt a break out inside of their armored vehicle, the KLA plans for the Serbian Army to use their tanks to rumble over the debris, the KLA will use the IEDs to disable the tanks from their vulnerable bottom. The disabled armored vehicle will only expound the problem as it will be completely stuck on the barricade, forcing the 34th and 27th brigade to be the victim of pot shots.
In layman's terms, the Serbian Army in Pristina was in an untenable position. Break out and face an ambush of huge proportions, await rescue from a military that had it's own problems at hand and may never come, or surrender.
To the Southeast, Kosovo would declare it liberated and would move it's KLA guerillas north under the cover of night in teams of fifteen. A team would break off and take the M2 Highway towards North Kosovo. Further armed to the teeth by Vietnamese weaponry as a part of Operation: Saber, these KLA guerillas would begin to engage the border checkpoints with sniper fire, killing and disabling Serbian Army forces. Naturally, the Serbians would not have enough men to guard the entire countryside. As a result, the rest of the teams would infiltrate into North Kosovo and begin to spread havoc by conducting guerilla operations within the region.
Inside North Mitrovica, KLA guerillas would begin by using IEDs against Serbian military positions and conducting hit-and-run raids against patrols. These teams would be operating independently of each other within small cells that did not communicate with each other, unlike the Serbian military, who would find themselves at a disadvantage due to their use of radios. The issue was further expounded by the fact that there was no power within Kosovo, not allowing use of electronic communications equipment due to no power or the lack of an ability to charge batteries. The KLA would use these raids to devastating effect, picking off Serbian personnel while also damaging morale extensively.
Furthermore, what was once a docile population in North Kosovo would gradually become bitter towards the Serbian Army due to the journalists publicizing the attack on Kosovo power. Despite cooperating and accepting the Serbian military, the Serbian Army had destroyed power plants and as a result, put North Kosovo in an untenable position due to lack of refrigeration and running water. These North Kosovars would immediately take to the streets in a massive display of public unrest, raiding stores and food supplies in order to attain any supplies they may need. As a result of this action, the North Kosovars outside would shield and conceal the numerous KLA teams operating in the city.
