Shakal Propaganda Ministry

Goebells sat in his chair as he read the order coming in from the Empress. The orders said to begin a massive propaganda campaign against San Marino, and the countries of the former Yugoslavia. He rolled up the letter and began to come up with slogans utilizing his talent for such things in under two hours he had several diffrent derogatory lies made up about the target people and he began to circulate them. First on the internet, then the other forms of media. To him this meant only two things, the Empire was going to be reunited, and he couldnt rest until the people hated the enemy for simply existing.

Shakal Military Base Belegrade

General Model prepared his men for the attack. To long had the Empire been seperate. The people of the former Ygoslav would appreciate this as much as the Shakal. Since over 50% of Bosnia, Albania, Slovenia and San Marino were Shakal nationalists forces into these countries by the governements now ruling them.

IC:

The Captain Regents and their cabinet were the executive branch of San Marino's government - and there were two such Captain Regents. One of them by the name of Yuri Domovic was probably the more powerful of the two, even though their power was supposedly equal. He was sitting in his office, leaning back on his chair, when one of his advisors entered the room and told him of the propaganda situation issued by Shakal. After a few seconds thought, he said, "Ahh..finally, Shakal has the guts to begin. It is a prequel to an invasion."

The advisor looked surprised - in his whole life, San Marino had been a land of peace and wars only existed in its unique history.

"Do not worry. We will surrender. There will be no fighting. You can go now."

After the advisor had left, he looked again at the letter sent to him by the Schroeder Corporation. He wrote back.

Yuri Domovic

To the Schroeder Corporation,

I have looked at your request with some interest. An invasion from Shakal is imminent, and San Marino will not last. I have decided to surrender - but not before declaring to the world...a few things. I will also accept your exile request.

On the matter of the mercenaries...I hate Shakal for doing this. They are taking over my country simply because we are a blimp in their territory. A nuisance. Well, I plan on giving them some of their own medicine. Just before they invade, I will take all of San Marino's funds, using a hacking system I developed, and wire them to you. Once Shakal enters, San Marino will be nothing more than a piece of land - all its wealth will have vanished, except for the history left in buildings and museums. With these funds, I want you to hurt Shakal in any way you can - be it terrorism, rebellion - anything. I know that you have a large number of highly trained mercenaries - so do not fail me. I will go into exile in your territories, and you will use the funds to attack them. I hope that this agreement will meet both of our needs. You make a little money, I make a little revenge.

"Sir, they have surrenedered to us."

"Excellent, tell Model to move fast in the former yugoslav, we want this wrapped up before it attracts to much foreign attention." The High Field MArshall said as his tank rolled along. Thrpugh the streets of San Marino. "And make sure nothing is taken on the way through here, these people are citizens of the Empire now, treat them as such."

Shakal-Bosnian Border

"General."

"Yes?" Model answered.

"San Marino is taken care of, the time has come to move out by Imperial command."

"Tell the men to move." Model ordered. His army was to move to the Adriatic through Bosnia as Rundstedts forces moved through Albania and Macedonia. General Kluge was to lead his men into Slovenia and get assistance from the 3 divisions under the High Field Marshall Derrick Braun that would come through northern Italy. It total the attack would total some 18 divisions, and would have the support of the entire Luftwaffe.

TO: Empress Kristina Schraepl II
FROM: Fuhrer Richtoff
SUBJECT: Military Actions

My dear neighbors to the West, when I awoke today I was greeted by the news of your forces moving towards my lands. I assure you, Kampfers will not lay down their weapons and surrender. We urge you to rethink your motives, perhaps stop your agressions before they begin - before you bring death to thousands of your soldiers. You are mistaken if you think the people of Macedonia will openly welcome your regime. They are Kampferians, through and through, and would rather bleed the national colors of Kampfers than ever live under your oppressive reign. Empress, be not so foolish in your actions. Your moves speak louder than you possibly know.

Sincerely,
Fuhrer Richtoff

SUBJECT: Imminent Invasion

This very day, this very hour, forces from Shakal amass at Kampferian borders in our province of Macedonia. They claim they are uniting their ethnic group, and yet, these citizens are truely Kampferian, and have been that way since birth. Kampfers wishes no hostilities against the aggressors in this battle, but we will not go like sheep to the slaughter. Kampfers will fight for its right to survive. If attacked, Kampfers will temporarily break its poslicy of isolationism and will accept aid from other nations, be it military, humitarian, or economic aid.

Sincerely,
Fuhrer Richtoff

"The Empress has ordered what!" General Rundstedt said as he sat in his tank. The Empress had just given him orders to halt his attack into Macedonia and focus on Albania. If all went well the capaign would be easier now. "Tell her that she has to be sure of these things before she changes her mind from now on." Rundstadt had served alongside the Empresses husband and knew that he may have held military command, but she was the Empress.

TO: Empress Kristina Schraepl II
FROM: Fuhrer Richtoff
SUBJECT: Military Actions

Following my latest letter to you, it has been noted that you have ceased your military build up along the borders of Kampfers. Yet you continue your aggression against numerous other states. Why? Because they are not united? Because they can not stand against you? You have already forced San Marino into submission. These people are not your kinsmen- they have their own unique heritiges. Yet you claim they are your brothers, and wish to conquer them in an attempt to expand your empire. This I will not allow. Kampfers will not stand for this blatant imperialism. If you invade these soveriegn nations, you may find other troops invading your own.

Sincerely,
Fuhrer Richtoff

SIC:

If the empress began the attacks, Kampfers would strike hard and fast. Kampferian soldiers were ammassing at the borders of Shakal, to protect from former Yugoslavia, and enough to invade former Greece if neccessary.

IC

Thousands of candles burned their never ending burn slowly smoking out the artwork above. It probably was once some sort of angelic design, now through hundreds of years of incense, smoke and cremations had turned the celling a dark grey color that flakked down now as three bishops sat around a circular table in the Cathedral of St. Paul.

"It's not even if they gave a reason. Opression, there's a good one, they're practically the richest people in the world. Opression is very hard to find when the money rains in like that." There was a silence common to the bishops, it was broken however by the monastic chants that seemed impossible to stop even now in the early morning.

Bishop Travor, a massive man who looked constatnly inebriated had called this small selective group togeather to discuss the future of the Empire. "If we do though, the Emperor will hardly be pleased."

"He never is."

"Well that is the major function of royalty, but imagine the prospect of all out war? We could lose considerable support from the nobility if we do not consult them as well. Anyway we turn we lose something"

Travor was the only man an observer could have made out, he extended over hs finely carved chair and almost heaped onto the table, "This is our government, this is our Empire. Indeed there would be problems should we invade without reason, those are easily stamped out...when the truth is presented to the general populace." The conversation had been continuing in such a fashion for hours, the mitred figures exchanging opinions in the faint candle light.

"Perhaps a conflict is better entered when both sides are at each other's throats? The Church supported Felix and his madness nearly 100 years ago and look what happened? We should allow this one to play itself out."

Travor leaned back in his chair, which made a painful scream of tortured wood, "War is good for faith your grace it renews the element which no amount of prayer may obtain. You are right however, we can not step in either direction. Shakal is attacking without merit, they could prove to be an valuable ally but more then likely they will be a threat. However if we assist them I'm sure we could get a slab of land out of this and geography suggests. "He paused momentaily as the last Veni Spiritus echoed in from the monestary.

"We will wait but not silently prepare a message for our missionaries in Shakal and prepare them for the worst. In the present though we must depart, sunlight will I'm afraid irrevicablly damage me." Travor laughed in a way that encouraged no similal sentiment from his companions and rose with the other two bishops. "As always this never occured, and our letter will be dispatched in the morning." He bowed slightly and strood out of Bishop Jhommer's quarters.

We are astounded at this move from Shakal the unlawful annexation of Marino shocks us beyond beleif. As head of the Church of Waldenburg we must request a explanation for such an attack, and please dispence with the charade of the "liberating army gambit," even we here in the far north have heard of your target's high lifestyle tht almost matches that of Waldenburg's own. As guardians of human life we must inquire what sanctions this action especially when your targets are mostly undefended. The effects of this attack truely breaks the clergy here and we await an answer before we advise the Emperor on course of action.

Encoded Ecclesiastic Message From: Harold Cardinal Thousis
To: His Excellency Fuhrer Richtoff of Kampfers

It has come to our attention of Shakal's intentions to invade the balkans and has already begun an assault on San Marino. We have no doubt that Kampfers is deeply shocked by this action as are we, and twice as threatened . That is why we wish to offer our most sincere affrimation of Kampferian supremacy in the area, any challenge to it will unbalance the world. If there is a threat to your power you may stand assured that Waldenburg will stand by you, for a price if it should come to the worst but one that will be easily payed.

OOC: bump for Shakal

Yuri Domovic

To All Nations of the World,

As I stand here for the last time, on that familiar doorstep, that familiar feeling of home, I can only express anguish from my heart. Shakal has oppressed us for some time through propaganda and other forms - but now they have gathered the courage to invade. San Marino - a peaceful, serene state - would stand no chance against this threat. However, if this is to continue, as it most certainly is in Albania, I urge the nations of the world to take a stand against this blatant imperialism. You have heard of me for the last time because of this threat - do something now, so that your country is not threatened later by the same menace. And I repeat - Shakal will not stop at this small piece of land. Their "conquests" as you may call them - picking on weaker nations, to unify their 'empire' of sorts - will not stop at San Marino! Take a stand, and stop Shakal once and for all!

The Most Serene ex-Republic of San Marino

Whilst the King met with worldwide leaders, the foreign offices thoughts were with Yuri Domovic - they had sympathy for him, but could they act on that? A war with Shakal, a nation so far away, would be costly and foolish - they had every belief they could prevent this invasion, but they hardly saw this as a new World War, just Shakal becoming restless and invading Albania and San Marino, two lands which were small and, in the scheme of things, problematic to help and risk damage for.

So, the decision was decided. All military intervention was not to happen, and they would "ignore" the conflict, bar a mention in an interview Mr. Mikel Kennis, Deputy Head of Foreign Affairs, would be conducting on a news network that evening.

Extract from Interview of Honakon Independent News Network

"...and as for the issue of the growing conflict in Albania and the situation in San Marino, we have sympathy for these nations, however due to our geographical location we feel it would be unwise to get involved and will leave the European nations to pass a more influential viewpoint on the issue..."

Shakal Imperial Palace
"So your telling me that the Kampfers are massing men along our borders?" The Empress asked.

"It appears so." Mannstein answered. "Lets hope we can keep this conflict contained, our men are already pushing into the original targets." He added.

"Can we handle a war with Kampfers?" The Empress asked. She leaned back in her chair and waited for Mannsteins answer.

"Theoretically, we can. The problem is that if someone decided to help them we wont be able to do much." Mannstein spoke honestly. "If we strike them first-"

"No. I will not allow it. If we go to war with them, we go to war ready and waiting, not hasty and unprepared." The Empress said angrily to her CHief OF Staff. "Howver, keep the attack into the old targets going. I want this ended before any real war breaks out."


Shakal 2nd Army

General Rundstedts army had moved into Albania and made significant progress. No real resistance had been met, as was expected. As the tanks rolled through a few trucks followed with supplies to replace any damaged by teh troops as they moved. Rundstedt was heading for the Albanian Capital, he hoped to make it by monday, which he would if no resistance sprung up. Rundstedts flank on Macedonia was covered by some 5 Infantry Divisions, 3 Motorized, and 2 Panscrier Divisions.


Shakal Panscriergruppe

Derricks men moved into Slovenia. The crossed the border led by the Nakil tanks and covered by the Luftwaffe. His army was moving to cover Kluges flank as he attacked into Bosnia. With news of Kampfers apparent ill intent sent to him Derrick decided to gather some extra firepower in the region. The Greece defence army had been formed and he was gathering some 8 more divisions in Croatia to support in its defence.


Albanian Skies

The 3 Shakal F/A-22 Raptors flew over Albania continually searching for any strong defensive locations that the Albanians could occupy. In total some 200Shakal aircraft were in the skies. A small part of there total number. They would hit anything that the ground forces needed destroyed.

Necropolis-Imperial Concourse

Little was known directly about the affair-the only info coming in was via satellite imagery, on-ground reports from those further away or from "unbiased" news agencies, or from UCAVs. Not the most reliable sources avaliable, and so the Dominion treaded on the issue lightly. Secure in his holdings, Emperor Kyp Droma was content with the Dominion's size-but not status. However, if what was being reported from Shakal was true, it was not particularly good-Droma was a stickler for resisting change, and this was certainly against his grain.

But the Dominion used some of the most advanced military equipment on Earth-from the F-13 Flare interceptor, far quieter and deadlier than the Raptor, to the army's powerful and sturdy Scorpian Tanks, to the elegantly massive Equinox-class supercarriers that highlighted the pride of the Amazonian military, the navy. Surely they could blow some holes in enemy defenses. The problem was a simple one.

The Dominion had only been around for 32 years-not exactly longevity. With a turbulent, divided State government slowly being overrun by the Imperial government-in what would clearly eventually lead to civil war in the near future-the Dominion was in no way wanting a war any time soon with foreign nationals. However, they could at least make some feelings known-since the outside world knew little of inside Amazonia.


Official Imperial Proclomation

While the Dominion does not look to get involved any time soon in the conflict, if the nation of Kampfers is interfered upon by the Shakal military, measures may have to be taken.

-Kyp Droma

Better to secure one stronger ally before the real fireworks, Droma thought to himself after he finished the message. Because fireworks were coming-from the Dominion itself.

Upon recieving notice that Shakal was progressing in its attack against the smaller nations, Fuhrer Richtoff ordered his men at the border of Greece to commence their attack. The first target was the city of Florina. First came a wave of modified B-2E bombers. These modified versions of the Spirits were fitted with GBU-31: Mk84 bombs equipped with JDAM. These bombs were the most precise bombs available, and the bombs can not be affected by weather. This was especially good tonight, as a thick cloud cover had moved in during the previous day. The bombers, with the latest in stealth technology, would appear as nothing more than a small bird fleeing the storm. The bombers each knew their targets. The majority were targeting the main military installations in and around Florina. Several others had more strategic targets, such as weapons manufacturing plants. Since only military targets were being targeted, there was no need to warn the civilians. That could only cause trouble, anyhow. The only cause for concern was the factory district, but it appeared to be empty at this time of night. The bombers dropped their payloads, and returned to the Kampferian base. On their way home they dropped pamphlets on the town of Niki. Next began the bombardment. PzH 2000's opened up on the border town of Niki. Few armed forces were expected to be there, but they needed to eliminate those that were. After 50 minutes of non-stop bombardment, Kampferian General Edmund Wilhelm decided it was enough. Now that Shakal knew what was happening, Kampfers did not have to worry about stealth anymore. Thus, 25 F-16 Cardinals took off and began to fly under orders to maintain air supremacy in the area. They had possible reinforcements of more than 200 aircraft. The Fuhrer was not going to lowball this nation. A convoy of tanks, Humvees, and MLRS's began to move in. They had crossed the border under the cover of the artillery fire, and now that it had ceased they could move in on the town. Lead by Leopard 2 PSO's and escorted by numerous Eurocopter Tiger helicopters, the army began its assult on the town. When this town was taken, it would be used as a HQ to conduct the assult on Florina. If all went as planned, the army should have Florina by nightfall, and could use that city to thrust towards the heart of Greece.

OOC: Est. troop count: 500,000 in west prong; 400,000 in east prong (coming in a second post)

Nearly the same thing was happening to the East. A slightly smaller army was beginning an assault on the town of Komontini. After following the exact same bombing pattern, notices were dropped from passenger jets in Komontini, as well as in Nimfea, through where the army would have to travel. Within a few hours of the notices being dropped, numerous M270 MLRS opened fire. These shot MGM-140 ATACMS, and nearly 75 missiles were shot at the two towns. Then, the bombardment by the PzH 2000's began, almost the same as to the West. This time, however, there was only 30 minutes of firing time. Then, the troops began to move in on Nimfea.

OOC: Both events occur at roughly the same time.

Nike

The Kampefian bombs did severe damage to there targets. The men were well prepared and hid behind defensive lines, still many died from the artillery bombardment. Far back, the Luftwaffe launched 80 of its F/A-22 to intercept any enemy aircraft, along with these went some dozen B-2 Spirits. There targets were the enemy artillery positions and there supply depots. The Shakal Nakil tanks under General Bock were readied in defensive locations and all anti-air defences were prepared. As the enemy drew closer the Shakal Panzer 2000 began firing on the enemy advance column. The infantry moved to strong points and readied the defence. More air support would be coming, expecially now that the two countries were at war.

OOC: 12 Divisions (240 000 men, 2000 armor, 750 SPG)

Komontini

The Shakal here were hit hard by the Kampferian artillery also. Howver, as there counterparts advaned they struck back with over 800 Self propelled guns and around 1000 smaller towed artillery howitzers. In the air the Shakal readied all defence, 60 X-02 fighter/interceptors took off and headed for the advancing enemy.

OOC:15 Divisions (300 000 men, 2600 armor, 1100 SPG)

Shakal Balkans HQ, Belegrade

The army Derrick had stationed in Serbia moved out south towards Sofia, this army was among the most prepared. It was expected to reach the city in under a week if all went well. In the air the Luftwaffe had some 300 planes to cover the advance, 30 bombers took off and headed for there targets of Kampfers industrial centers. The ground forces were led by the armored spearheads and the slower mtorized troops followed behind them.

OOC:20 Divisions (400 000 men, 3000 armor, 2000 SPG)

As soon as Leader Jean-Marie DuBois received word of the Kampferian attacks on Shakal, he ordered a declaration to be sent out to the world.

Official Communique

A state of war now exists between the Nationalist Corbournnian Realm and Shakal.

Almost immediately, mobilized forces were ordered across the border to Turin. In addition to the advancement of 133,500 troops, Attack aircraft flew ahead of the assault to bomb the city, and long-range artillery began a shelling as well.

Aircraft: 286 Dassault Mirage 2000, 109 Dassault Mirage F1, 33 Dassault Rafale
Main Battle Tanks: 380 Leclercs, 614 AMX-30B2s
Infantry fighting vehicles: 601 AMX-10Ps
Artillery pieces and mortar: 85 TRF1s, 134 AMX 30 AuF1s
Helicopters: 10 EC-175s, 4 AS-352s, 18 AS-555s, 21 AS-532, 276 Gazelles, 101 SA-330s

Also, a small contingent of Corbournnian soldiers were deployed to Monaco for the principality's "protection."

(I'm just assuming that since, in RL, their defense is the responsibility of France, that that transfers over to Corbournne here.)

Vladimir Tresko

To the Nationalist Corbournnian Realm,

I am shocked that your nation has descended into the imperialistic hellhole that nations like Kampfers and Shakal have already gone. However, your offer is the better of the two - the other one being you and Shakal taking this nation apart. I only request to know more about my power inside your nation - am I allowed control over my nation, and if so, to what extent?

I urge you to turn back your army and leave my country. Already you are being invaded by two nations from two different fronts - you imperalistic bastards see no end to conquest and domination - and now you can taste your own medicine. In the crisis at hand, turning back before it is too late is the right thing to do. Before you know it, you will be seizing the capital of a different country, only to have your own capital seized within the same day. My forces will retaliate in full force within 2 hours - you have 2 hours to stop all operations and get the hell out of this country. I am warning you - do this, or you will pay.

Shakal Corburnnian Border

The airborne attacks by the enemy took a great toll on the defenders, luckily the army under Derrick was close at hand. It possed the finest troops and the best weapons. Soon after the attack the Shakal anti-air defences fired at the enemy aircraft, with so many planes deployed in the Greek theatre the Luftwaffe's numbers were reduced by 50%. Derricks army of 4 Infantry Divisions, 2 Motorized Divisons, 2 Mechanized Divisions, and 2 Panscrier Divisions were turning about to head into the thin area of Corburnne through the Lech province of Austria. The aircraft launched to stop enemy air attacks and the Navy prepared for sailing. The response would be swift.

Vladimir Tresko

To the Nationalist Corbournnian Realm,

I am shocked that your nation has descended into the imperialistic hellhole that nations like Kampfers and Shakal have already gone. However, your offer is the better of the two - the other one being you and Shakal taking this nation apart. I only request to know more about my power inside your nation - am I allowed control over my nation, and if so, to what extent?

Don't be shocked, mon ami, this move is for your own protection. Indeed, our offer is clearly the better of the two, you and your government will retain control of internal laws, so long as they do not interfere with the Realm's. Part of your nation's income will be taxed, with the proceeds going to improving the entirety of Corbournne. The rest you may appropriate to whatever you wish.

Empress, a time of war has fallen upon our lands. However, noting that you have ceased hostilites against the nations that you attacked, we are willing to do the same for you. After all, this was my first goal, and the whole conflict could have been avoided if this had happened earlier. The terms I bring to you stand as this: Kampfers and Shakal will cease hostilities towards each other. Kampfers will reimburse Shakal for expenses made to rebuild the towns attacked. Shakal will reimburse Kampfers for the few places bombed. Kampfers will aid in humanitarian relief for the cities whih they attacked. Finally, Kampfers will send diplomats to Shakal and vice versa to prevent this from happening again. While Kampfers normally dwells in isolation, we will send diplomats and recieve them if they are for relations with you. I hope you consider this offer, as it is very generous.

Sincerely,
Fuhrer Richtoff

OOC: I really just didn't want you to attack those other nations, thats why I am offering peace.

Also, I don't think you rped your damages realisticly. The towns are too small to safely harbor that many men. The town would be leveled.

OOC:I ansered casualties in the OOC thread. And I only wanted my Empire connected by land anyways. I guess ill have to try for Bosnia and Albania later.

IC:

The Empress read the peace offer from the Kampfers. She knew peace would avail to nothing gained, but if was continued, more would be lost than gained unlessa total rout of the entire Kampfers military was completed. She sent this reply to Fuhrer Richtoff:

We are willing to accept these terms, but we ask that our gained possesions in Slovenia are kept. If this is met we shall agree to the treaty and peace shall be restored.

Empress Kristina Schraepl II

After the message was sent she ordered the armies to halt. The army under Kluge was racing to aid in the defence of the homeland from Corburrne, and the navy was at sea with the aircraft reading for strikes on the enemies home ports and southern industrial centers. If the Kampfers agreed to peace it would be great for the streched military forces.

Empress, I thank you for your wisdom. You may keep your holdings in Slovenia. I believe we have just avoided what may have ended tragic for the both of us. We will be sending delegate John Schindle to your nation. He will bring with him the money. We eagerly await the arrival of your delegate. If you wish to begin military ventures in the future, please contact me first. It may help us avoid this whole situation next time.

Vladimir Tresko

To the Nationalist Corbournnian Realm,

This seems a good deal. Although it is still not what I would want, I can see that your imperialism will not end. The rest of Slovenia, however, is still ours. Your little annexation will be partially under our control. That sounds good. I grant you that permission. One more question: Will you spend money on that piece of land - as in use tax money to improve the terrain and such?

John Mandrake

To the Nationalist Corbournnian Realm,

I can see that your imperial tendencies from years past are not abiding. I urge you to make peace with Shakal and also make peace with the multitudes of nations that you are trying to annex or invade. Your conquests are making my people cautious - I will, in case anything happens, station a couple troops on our borders to make the people feel safer, as well as myself. An invasion from you several months ago was the last thing on my mind - but now, I am not so sure. I urge you again to rethink peace.

The World Empire of Futuris

Official Response from the Leader, Chancellor, and President of the Nationalist Corbournnian Realm Jean-Marie DuBois

I can assure you, mon ami, that an invasion of your lands has and always will be among the last things on my mind. As the concerns of our closest ally have always been recognized, we would be willing to compromise. We will make peace with Shakal if you allow us to go through with annexations of Monaco, Liechtenstein, and Slovenia. Hopefully this will be satisfactory for both parties, as those acquisitions are equal to those of Shakal in San Marino and Slovenia.

Official Corbournnian Communique to Shakal

We would like to request a cease of hostilities that will result in a status quo antebellum. You will regain control of your territories and retreat from Austria. The division of Slovenia will remain as planned.

Across the battlefields of Italy and Austria, Corbournnian troops fell back out of range of Shakal weaponry, awaiting a response to the ceasefire.

Communication To Corbrunne

We shall accept this. IF we are able to keep our land route through Slovenia together as per our previous agreement. Peace as always, remains the best option.

Shakal Fronts

The troops pulled back and headed for there assigned garrison locations. Some 400 000 men would remain in the Balkans along with 100 000 in Lybia and Greece. The remainder would return to Shakal Superior and rest. Casulaties had been luckily low, against the Corbrunn forces a mere 1100 men were lost, in the Balkans a total of 9900 were killed.

The Kampferian soldiers were moving on the cities when all of a sudden, an order of Halt! was screamed. "What the fuck do you mean HALT! Were at war, dammit!" Yelled one of the ranking officers.

"Not anymore. WE now have peace. We have orders to return to Kampfers. So move out!"

"Shit. Didn't even get to fire my gun..."

Communication To Corbrunne

Official Corbournnian Response

Agreed.

Corbournnian troops withdrew from Shakalian territory, having only suffered a mere five hundred and fifty-three casualties.
