June 31st-July 6th
Link declares operation Calamity, launching Six attacks at once. today we will be convering the world eight battle starring @BanquetMegaBowl and @FunPosting101
Spurdo on the western front, and Banq on the eastern front. They are expected to halt a flanking maneuver to cut off first army. Spurdo opts to draw the Hylians in before destroying them in detail. Banq wants to hold them at a choking point, maybe sent the anti-tank units around the mountain to hit their rear at some point.
The enemy meets them on the field, the western flank sending a canary manages to spot the front guard and stops before the ravine, the eastern front can be seen ferrying a Rocket Artillery to the front. Having the trap found Spurdo decides to that he is going to have to slug it out.
Having no choice but to attack Banq quickly tears though the light tanks, leaving the rear artillery open to the Tanks, Mido is seen taking a jeep back to field command after this occurs, while his contemporary on the western front, Colin, planned on sending in the his units one at a time (I have no idea why he thought this was a good idea, he should have had his recon take the punishment while holding his heavy hitters back or have them go around).
Colin attempts to have a contingent assault from another flank, while marching his recon down the front. Spurdo having been presented with overwhelming force decides that a delaying action is what is needed to prevent a collapse as he lacks the power needed to neutralize the threats before him, with things going so well in the east, renforcements can be either lopsided, or if the enemy abandons the eastern front, we can move banqs army to relieve Spurdo.
Spurdo delays the hylians while sniping their Tank units, the plan is to render their heavy firepower in operable before having the rest cleaned up by incoming cavalry next week. on the eastern front a planned flank is discovered while the artillery and rear guard get slaughtered. Banq off loads command to his attendant Colonel @Blackhole as he prepares his speech to give the brass after they promote him again.
Having his artillery hit by an ambushing light tank, Blackhole keeps composure and moves along with operations as planned, he is going to have the Tank units deal with the surviving guard outside of the artilleries range, while marching a large force of infantry north to overwhelm the base with a combined arms assault. Spurdo is able to line up a conclusive victory over the front line of attack, while the flanking attack is continually frustrated, Spurdo has ensured a stalemate on the western front.
[twenty-two screenshots of battle where I forget to screen cap the map to show how Spurdo and Banq had won the day handily]
With all the Tank units on the western front destroyed, the light tanks and recon taking cover in the forest, Spurdo has bought himself enough time for fresh troops to come in and restore his force to battle ready, Blackhole conversely takes unexpected casualties, but manages to capture Mido and his staffers. (due to events in the next part, Hyrule would opt to pull out of 8-3 in to divert resources to more important fronts).
Next time, Mario takes command
