The goal is to sweep toward the city of New Derry, and go over every farm, house, chemical plant, and such in the area. Sweeping down the strip, in a triangle formation, with two battalions on the far corners towards New Derry and the 3rd pushed back and as a rear guard, backup, center sweeper role.
3 April – After not finding any enemy presence in the area, we know that our foes have consolidated their holdings in the city of New Derry. We don’t like fighting in cities unless we have too.
We radio into the city:
“The Ares Convention has asked that people not fight in cities. We don’t have to fight in New Derry. We will allow you to choose the battlefield that you want, and allow you to get there, set up defenses, and will attack you a month later. That’ll give you time to develop yourself, learn the area, and more. That way you save the people of New Derry their homes and lives.”
After a pause, we get this message back:
“We aren’t the clans. If you think you are good enough to take Caph, then you have to come into New Derry to do it!”
We send the recording of that transmission to the civilians in the city of New Derry. We tell them to evacuate, and give them a week to do it. They are even angrier at the SMM. Over the next two days there are multiple acts of terrorism against the SMM, such as explosions and a few vehicles have been destroyed by locals.
