WARDEN NAVAL LANDING AT NORTH WEST TERMINUS

WAR 97, DAY 342, Terminus --- Officer Pudsy of the SWARM Regiment organized a cross-regiment naval assault upon Thunderbolt. Factions included, SWARM, 27th, Felp, Braza, SSE. SWARM supplied approximately 10 tanks and over 25 soldiers while the 27th supplied give or take 30 troops. Felp, Braza, and SSE made up an additional force of approximately 3 tanks and a dozen men. Combined forces approximate at least 70 soldiers armed with tanks, field artillery, and RPGs. Warden scouts revealed a severe lack in Colonial defences in the North Western region of Terminus; establishing the target landing zone. The assault began at sunrise with the goal of kicking Colonial forces out of Terminus region. Warden Forces immediately secured Thunderbolt without any casualties.
Soon thereafter, Wardens flanked a stockpile of Colonial armoured vehicles stationed at Warlord's Stead. Merely ten minutes had past at this point when Officer Pudsy was met with impassable terrain: landscaping terraces on the north-western edge of Therizó; known as "The Legion's Bounty". Around this time, a second landing had arrived, reinforcing Wardens with additional ammunition and gas. With this, Pudsy then decided to order his troops to push east until they reach the Terminus beach, then continue south into Therizó, thereby circumventing the terracing. Pudsy later considered this to be a decisive mistake, remarking, "...should have taken Cerberus Wake." By taking Cerberus Wake, Pudsy would have hoped to sever the Colonial supply line into Therizó, while entrusting Colonial emancipation of the city to his fellow Warden troops in the east at Bloody Palm Fort.

Alas, hindsight is twenty-twenty. In reality, Pudsy and his men pushed bravely into the fray of Therizó, exacting their strategic misposition. By pushing into the city they have enclosed themselves in a sort of bottleneck. Unable to safely push into the city and impassable terrain to the west, Pudsy then realized his mistake; moreover it was too late.
