Region: The East Pacific

Beach

Explosions tear through the sands dunes. Hundreds of Levantine soldiers who do not make it out of the way in time are blown to kingdom come. The Levantines quickly return fire. Scores of anti-ship missiles are launched from coastal installations against San Sierran destroyers.

The damage from the enemy bombardment is severe and with every passing moment the strength of the beach defenses wanes.

Wadi Abbas and Southern Desert Offensives

After months of fighting, the last pocket of government resistance in Saddamiya is eliminated- freeing up FLA units for a new offensive. Under the cover of the ongoing western bombing campaign, rebel forces push to the west and south.

Government forces are routed while trying to escape the disaster at Saddamiya. The destruction of several divisions ensures. Chaos spreads across Levantin as the tide of the war is decisively turned.

Panicked pro-Saddam refugees flee south, where the regime has more success. Fresh troops with plentiful supplies are able to halt FLA attacks in this area. Heavy losses are taken by both sides.

Crusader-Islamist Conflict

Caught off guard by the San Sierran crusaders, the Islamists pull back to their original positions. Mortar and artillery fire is aimed at Christian forces behind the rocks in an effort to dislodge them.

In other parts of Hayk Province, Islamist efforts to wrest control of the region form the LCF are met with fierce resistance. For the time being, it appears that Christian Levantin is here to stay.

OOC: I kinda just want this war to be over with, but at the same time I want to give the Saddam regime a glorious final stand.

Rockets and missiles fired from the coasts streak the beach's air once again, this time at a lower altitude, and against the San Sierran ships of the Ola F2. In result of the returning fire, three destroyers were hit, but those hits were all different results. One was hit, having a part of it's hull destroyed, but still floating and having it's systems function. One was hit, more severe than the first, since few weapons have temporarily stopped working because of the damage, but nonetheless, the ship was still floating and many injured crewmembers are being rushed to medical rooms. The last one was done for, it's hulls were completely destroyed, resulting in the beginning process of the destroyer sinking as it's surviving crewmembers and manpower abandon ship, now at floating boats waiting for rescue from nearby ships.

Other than the hits, most anti-ship missiles fired from the coast were shot down by Close-In Weapon System units that destroyers had. Retaliating, destroyers and missile cruisers continue their task of coastal bombardment, firing Surface-to-Surface missiles and destroyers firing shells. Corvettes and smaller frigates sail to help the floating crewmen to get unto their ships. As this happens, Amphibious Assault Ships, with ground forces and helicopters, begin to approach the seemingly least defended areas of the objective, utility helicopters begin to take off from these AAS units as well, with their current task being to wreak havoc onto the enemy. As helis are in air, they already start firing their machine guns and few smaller missiles when they got close to the coasts.

Crusader-Islamist Conflict

Forces of the Cross Serpies (Serpies de la Cruz) have seemed to succeed in pushing against at least a brigade of the so-called FLA, but at the moment, they do get dislodged, for 12 men die from mortars and two armored vehicles are destroyed. Gonzalo Navarro, being the crusading warrior he is, still fires his weapon while taking cover behind a recently destroyed armored vehicle, as some crusading men bring their own mortars and use them against Islamists. However, they have been ordered to not advance further, for it's brigadier general/commander may see the importance of the jihadist roles to topple the Saddamist regime.
