After the success of operation Redonia the Bludonians have managed to repulse the foreign invader from their lands. After a peace treaty affirming the status quo ante bellum with some concessions being given to the Bludonians in the form of war reparations.

The Redonians now teetering on the edge of bankruptcy have moved to take the resource rich lands of lower Brunn to revitalize their economy and save the nation from collapse. You a proud member of the RAF<<Redonian Armed Forces>> have been tasked with dealing the first blow against the BRG <<Brunnish Republican Guard>> and make way for the invasion of the Low Brunnlands.

Standby for mission objectives.

>>6230163 (OP)
After the failure of redonian high command the Brunn Republic have fallen on hard times after a minor labor dispute have spiraled into an all out protests through out it's nation. The "Prole revolution" as it's being called have opened up a perfect opportunity for our armed forces to make quick gains against the nation of Brunn. Their armed forces currently pre occupied with putting down an armed insurrection within their cities have left the crossing into lower brunn relatively unguarded. If we strike now we will be able to secure a bridge head for our forces and pave the way for our heavier forces and cement our position in lower brunn and maybe even open the road to upper brunn.

>>Colonel You have the following forces on the field.

2nd Infantry Company
> 6 Motorized infantry

12th Battalion Mortar Section
> 3 Mortar Platoons
>> We have stocked your mortar platoons with twice the ammo they usually carry as you will not be resupplied until later on in the day.

12th Battalion Recon Section
> 2 Armored Recon Platoons

>>Objective: Take One of the two crossings
>>>Secondary Objective: Take both


There is one concern for this operation however is that an elite Mechanized company somewhere within your vicinity aiding in the pacification of the surrounding cities as well as an artillery company Resting and Refitting within the area. if you dally they may just be able to mass up in time and mount a formidable counter attack. Not only that our belligerence have made our neighbors wary of invasion so the crossings may be well fortified though severely undermanned

As you arrive to see your men deployed at a crossroads in the countryside you notice a major kink in this operation as you inspect your forces. While your infantry, and recon are on wheels Your mortarmen appear to be lacking in proper transports and are all on foot.

Sergeant Tilly 12th Battalion Mortars
>"Sir we're ready and willing to fight but it uhh..heh funny thing appears that the desk jockeys said our wheels ain't here yet, said might be late and all."

Sergeant Kinsley 12th Recon
>"Always the same shit with the quarter masters if they ain't late they're always shorting you on supplies"

You get on your radio with Mission command to ask about the mortarmen's trucks and they say that they will be here within the hour if you wait. The men don't mind idling however the longer you wait the more likely The Brunnish will notice you massing up on their border.

>Delay
>Go on without the mortars?
>Write-in

>>6230163 (OP)
what's this quest about ?

>>6230188
>>Go on without the mortars?
Rush B. If we really need the mortars we can have them carted up later.

>>6230450
This is a quest for power and liberating brunn from their weak leaders, according to The Redonian's People Junta. But you know better it's a land grab to prevent them from defaulting on their debts and you're being put at the forefront of the operation to take the lowlands from them. Your people have barely recovered since the last conflict and this is truly a last ditch effort for high command to hold onto power.

In short, you are working for the bad guys to take out a poor republic in the middle of a civil war so they can have money to pay the blues.

The mortarmen shrug and get comfortable while they wait meanwhile your motor infantry take their places on the road

Lieutenant Oswald - 2nd Infantry Company
>"Looks like we ain't going to have mortars sir, mind if we all bunch up and just rush the nearest objective directly east of us. We can make do with the armored recon units but they ain't as effective if we split em"

Oswald does have a point, without much needed mortar support you will need to rely heavily on the light guns of the armored recon right now.

You give the word to attack east and Kinsley and his forces take point with you and Oswald following closely. at 0620 as you close the border you can hear gunfire to your northeast putting your men at edge thinking that the element of surprise has been lost. As you and your men finally get to the bridge you see the village near the border in flames and multiple intense firefight between an angry mob and a full company in chaos trying to hold them back.

Lieutenant Oswald - 2nd Infantry Company
>"Holy shit what the hell is going o-"

He is interrupted by Kinsley's unit opening fire on the entrenched border guards in their position.

Sergeant Kinsley - 12th Battalion Recon
>"Quit gawking and start shooting we've laid out suppressing fire for you now move onto their positon!"

Lieutenant Oswald - 2nd Infantry Company
>"Shit, Able! Bravo, Charlie Move up And engage the enemy Dog Echo Fox stay behind!"

The Infantry platoons move forward and open fire on the border guards Laying down heavy machine gun fire along with the recon platoons. Oswald directing effective fire to the enemy shattering one of the border units after a majority of them we're killed before they could enter their trenches. Unfortunately however some of the Border units manage to jump back into their trenches and fire back at one of you Oswald and you see several men in able company go down

Able - 2nd Infantry Company
>"we got 4 that got hit....he's good your sure? Correction 3 that got hit we are still combat effective."

The Fighting continues and all seems to be going in your favor.

The Skirmish continues and by the end of it the men have routed or killed the remaining border guards.

Lieutenant Oswald - 2nd Infantry Company
>"Able get back to the trucks see if you can treat the wounded. Bravo We clear?"

One of the Platoon leads gives Oswald a thumbs up and cautiously cross the bridge however in the distance you see a platoon of men break off from the fighting and make a mad dash for the bridge to retake it. Bravo Platoon opens up at the approaching enemy only for another border guard platoon to come from the south to start firing on their flanks. Oswald upon seeing this springs into action and orders Echo and Dog out of their vehicles before leading them along with charlie across the bridge. An Intense Firefight ensues as the Kinsley's Armored Recon Squad supports the infantry units however Bravo being caught out takes a fair bit of casualties, Oswald himself goes down for a brief moment but manages to crawl and then limp himself into one of the abandoned fortifications the enemy left behind.

Bravo - 2nd Infantry Company
> "OSWALD'S HIT HE'S WOUNDED AND OUT OF THE FIGHT, 6 OF OURS HAVE ALSO GONE DOWN!"

The Firefight continues but comes to a stop as the enemy disengages and moves east away from your men, seems that you have won the day. Even more good news come in as tilly has made contact on the radio

Tilly 12th Battalion Mortars
> "We're finally loaded we're on the way lads we're a bit behind so give us a bit to catch up"

You move up to fully secure the bridge in doing so you come across a sign pointing in multiple directions and a corresponding town name. To your east appears to be Lonato, the largest town in the area. To your South Montichiero, A city heavily defended and being taken by another commander, one assigned more resources. To your North is Bedizzole which you can clearly see is on fire and multiple sporadic firefights taking place across that town. You also know that there is another crossing to your south though it may have been abandoned by the border guard units it may be easy pickings for your squad. Command encourages you to secure the towns if at all possible to draw units away from the Montichiero crossings but reminds you that your main objective is to hold that crossing until the bulk of the army can arrive in force.

>>Objective completed: Secure one of the Crossings
>>Secondary Objective: Secure both Crossings
>>>New Objective: Hold The crossing till reinforcements arrive
>>>New Secondary Objectives: Take Lonato, Take Bedizole, Aid the Montichiero Crossing
