Ic: Following the defeat of the Stalinist forces at Verian, the 1st army was hot on the tail of the renegade leader. Information, gleaned from satelite photos, showed that the despot was hiding in Georgia. After the tens of thousands of innocent lives destroyed by this monster, the armed forces were commited to apprehending him. He had escaped once. There would not be a second time.

Georgian Border

It was essential that Armak was captured or killed before he had the time to escape to the north, to the caucass mountains from where he could dissapear to Russia and to freedom. This could not be allowed. Armaks estimated postion was south of the capital by around one hundred miles. Bombing raids were being carried out on strategic rail lines and roads to prevent swift escape, whilst tanks and waves of infantry spilled accross the border.

A combination of blitzkrieg and soviet mass attack casulties had been employed for this operation. So far, the poorly organised Georgians had offered only sporandic resistance*. Ten more divisions had been drafted in order to aid the invasion. The high command was determined that Armak would not escape.

In a diplomatic action, the Momanguise government has announced the formation of the Democratic Nation of Georgia. This will be set up under Momanguise supervision and elections will be held in six months.

Meanwhile, on the front line, the ground forces were making steady progress. They were avoiding the cities, if Gref Armak and his men were hiding there they could turn any battles into a bloodbath. Recon planes were flying over head monitering for any sign of hostile movement. As none were detected, it was assumed that the rebel was preparing for a final stand.

ooc: I see, aparantly no-one cares about Georgia....

Ic: All over Georgia the populance was awakening to the sounds of pitched battles, as confused and isolated local defense volenteers battled the well equiped invading army. The MAF had been instructed to bring all teritory south of the Mtkarvi under control by the end of the month. Since the collapse of the McQuaide government, there was no effective ruler of the country and there were no organised counter attacks. Meanwhile, a further fifty divisions had been drawn up for an unspecisfied purpose.
