Situation

Excerpt from a briefing held in Levie MOB: [S.C]: ..which pretty much sums up the frontline reports, sir. [R.R]: Excellent, final point of order, then, is the civilian informant report which I included in your briefing notes. [S.C]: Ah, Provins? Looks like a costly advance, sir. We're tied up with digging in. [R.R]: We won't be needing to spare any manpower for this one, lieutenant- -B Company has arrived. Excerpt Ends Recent civilian reports from Chotain indicate that Everon National Guard troops have been entering civilian homes across the island and taking valuables (in particular gold), whilst reassuring them that they are serving their nation well. Acting upon both an operational requirement to secure the valuable crossroads town of Provins, and HUMINT gathered from civilians- Blacksmith directs the deployment of B-Company's considerable human resources for a coordinated assault and secure mission. Campaign Situation and update: Everon, 1989 General Alexei Zhukov- an ex-soviet commander, and leader of a small army of the island of Everon- has staged a coup and taken martial control of a once democratic microstate in the mid-Atlantic region. After gaining approval with the UN, the United States has committed a task force under the operational designation Blacksmith to move to the island and wrest control from the rogue military state being set up by Zhukov. Now, after securing a solid footing on the S/E portion of Everon, Blacksmith's task force has thus far encountered well-supplied, motivated defending forces under the Everon National Guard. Following many days of rough fighting over the Levie isthmus, friendly positions through Chotain, Laruns and Levie are secured and digging in. Blacksmith now directs their attention toward securing valuable corridors of movement in order to position for further advancement across Everon.
