1-3-09 Armor Chain Battle Summary

On January 3, the IC-Arma campaign kicked off the year with a great start. With the first battle of the year and a new campaign, the conflict between United Sahrani Liberation Forces (USLF) and the North Bangango Defense Forces (NBDF) took place on the dangerous armor chain scenario. USLF and NBDF operations will involve massive armor engagements.

The battle began with both USLF forces and NBDF forces deploying to Iguana. USLF forces launched a large force of several M1 Abrams accompanied by infantry in Bradley LAVs and a Littlebird in the sky. NBDF units deployed consisted of a mixed force of T-90s and the mighty T-72s accompanied by infantry in several BMPs. Both armies raced to Iguana. The USLF army managed to reached Iguana before NBDF forces and dug in their armor between rocks. In less than thirty seconds, the wrath of NBDF war machines would reach them.

Both armies of tanks began engaging each other brutally. Commanders called out targets and gunners fired continuously at enemy tanks. USLF Private Guderina said “During the first five minutes of battle, we managed to destroy or disable at least four enemy tanks.” The USLF forces dug into a hill and held their position, even with enemy artillery pounding their position. NBDF Private Richmuel was on the ground during this assault. He recalls “The assault of Tiberia across the desert plains from Iguana was a true sight to behold…The excitement in those few moments really sums up the awesome moments that can be had in IC-Arma.”

Eventually with strong communication and small anti tank ‘ninja crews’, NBDF forces flanked USLF forces and drove them back. USLF forces decided to withdraw to their base of operations to regroup to counter attack. By now, two hours into the battle with two important territories lost, all hope seemed gone for USLF forces. However, USLF forces would not let NBDF soldiers go unpunished for their actions.

One squad of M1 Abrams managed to regroup and organize an efficient counter attack on NBDF units. They eliminated several BMPs and even destroyed the enemy’s artillery. This enabled USLF infantry to move up and recapture a territory. Soon after that, time ran out and the battle was over. Technically, NBDF forces won but the USLF’s comeback was an amazing stunt. Both armies fought well and had a great time. This is what IC-Arma is all about.

The battle may be over but the war will continue. NBDF and USLF forces will engage again on the 10th to battle on the airborne chain scenario, sponsored by IC-Arma.
