It was nearly 23:00, almost midnight. Under the cover of darkness, infantry and Panzers moved thru the Teutonwald, preparing to mount a quick a devestating attack against North Attica. Over 40,000 Infantrymen and 700 Panzers were scheduled to participate in this attack.

The raid would have two waves: A feint attack in the Mittelattiska region, while the primary armies would sweep thru and occupy Mittelrudava and Brelinburg.

As the clock struck midnight, Führer Zarek Sidorowicz ordered his generals to begin Unternehmen Vereinigung (Operation Unification).

As he suspected, the Royal North Attican armies were strengthened along the border of Mittelattiska and Zetross-Stettski

At 12:00, 2 Panzer divions and 5 Infantry divisions began moving into Mittelattiska, while the 2nd Heeresgruppe comprised of 6 Panzer divisions and 24 Infantry divisions began moving towards the border of Mittelrudava.

If all goes well, the National Army of South Attica will occupy Attikburg within a few weeks.

Unbeknownst to the foolish South Atticans, the Nordattikischlandegeneralstab had already anticipated the move of the South Attica National Army. Mittelattiska was being defended well, of course, by 8 Panzer divisions and 15 Infantry divisions, but Brelinburg and Mittelrudava were both being defended by Kaiserheer troops, the best of the best. 7 KH-Panzer divisions and 8 KH-Infantarie divisions were defending Brelinburg, while 9 KH-Panzer divisions and 12 KH-Infantarie divisions were beginning to move towards Sudrudava, to mount a preemptive strike against the advancing South Atticans.

As the South Attican Panzers crossed the border, they were immediately suprised at the lack of any resistance. As they continued moving, North Attican Panzers began moving against their flanks. Infantry began moving towards them head on. They were surrounded.

Near Brelinburg and Mittelrudava, the Kaiserheer divisions continued to dig in in preparation for an attack.

With new knowledge that elite Kaiserheer units were protecting Brelinburg and Mittelrudava, and the Mittelattiska assault was becoming a slaughter, the Führer had three choices:

1. Pull back from Mittelattiska to launch a strong offensive with both Heeresgruppen in Mittelrudava.
2. Utilize Kerntruppen, the elite of Nationalist Attica, in order to bolster the assault in Mittelattiska
3. Utilize Kerntruppen in order to launch a devestating attack in Mittelrudava

He opted to utilize #3. He ordered the troops in Mittelattiska to begin building redoubts, in order to hold any territory they did capture. The Kerntruppen divisions would meet up with Stamminfantarie divisions and Stammpanzer divisions in Sudrudava, in order to attack Mittelrudava.

As the Regularheer continued to hammer into the now-defensive Fascist lines in Mittelattiska, the Kaiserheer was resting after a weeks construction effort to build a line of redoubts to keep out the Fascists.
