WMD Takes 1st Sea Tower on NA1
On the southeast coast of the desert continent of Rubaiyat sits a quiet island with an Alfar city-fortress known as Ramlaji.
This is the story of the battle for its control.
Earlier this week, one of the largest alliances on NA-1 took a rare opportunity to drop two shards in the desert, claiming a city and a hamlet that was given up when a DFA clan disbanded.
This alliance, known as The Red Army, has over 1100 citizens and can field over 150 combatants.
Any fool could see that allowing an alliance of this nature to establish a beach-head in Rubaiyat would not be in DFA’s best interest.
At roughly 7:30pm Eastern time, DFA challenged TRA for control of Ramlaji, using the hamlet of Mohera which was taken by DFA two days prior.
Forces in place assisting DFA:
DFA - GHT/WMD, Black, Sinister Tyrants, Dark Legion
Cairnivores represented by Sinister, Lords of the Dead, Apollo, and Grief
UDA alliance represented by Undead Army, The Tenth, Dark Octopus, Custodis Silenti
For the first 3.5 hours of the seige, DFA + Friends held strategic locations and fielded hunter-killer groups across Rubaiyat.
Cairnivores played an important role in strategic placement of defensive forces.
At the outset of the operation, it was important to know if, where, and when the enemy would be assembling on Rubi.
DFA Scouts (salute to my brave scouts) fed a constant stream of updates to DFA Command on the locations and numbers of small groups of TRA who were porting in.
DFA hunter-killer groups (Black being primary) were rapidly dispatched to destroy these small groups so as to prevent them from forming up in mass, with great success as scores of small groups of TRA were destroyed.
Several small skirmishes erupted in various positions throughout the first 3.5 hours of the operation.
UDA Alliance, met one of the first larger engagements of the operation in the small village of Erraniyat.
In a bizarre meeting of 4 different enemy groups, 420, Blackshields, elements of TRA and UDA alliance clashed, ultimately with UDA being pushed out of Erraniyat to reform and rearm.
UDA showed resiliance and character with their willingness to get right back into battle after losing a portion of their forces.
At close to the end of phase 1 of the seige, UDA again engaged the enemy, only this time it was the main TRA body coming south from the mainland onto Rubi.
Although outnumbered, scouts reported UDA destroyed several dozen TRA, but it wasnt enough to stop them. UDA was again forced to fall-back, regroup and rearm ultimately taking up positions in defense of the hamlet Mohera.
As the main TRA force rolled past UDA and raced towards their objective…the timer to destroy the clanstone at Mohera had almost run out.
Scouts reporting TRA movement indicated their objective was now likely to be Ramlaji.
In short order, TRA forces moving with surprising speed, hit the southwest corner of Ramlaji, and pushed into the city with great momentum.
GHT/WMD and ST battled fiercely to defend the city, but the TRA momentum was too strong to stop.
TRA took control of Ramlaji.
As TRA started sending forces north to attempt to destroy the clanstone in Mohera, DFA re-armed and re-grouped while Cairnivores sent their forces south to re-take Ramlaji.
Until now, the Cairnivores had not seen much action, and were likely eager for battle.
The ferocity of the Cairnivore attack on Ramlaji was a sight to see, at one point it looked as if the towers near the clanstone were perpetually on fire as aoe’s rained down death on those who were caught inside and on the walls.
During this second engagement at Ramlaji, TRA again hit Mohera, dropping seige cannons and hitting the hamlet with wave after wave of attackers. Ultimately, the combined forces of Grief, re-armed DFA, and UDA held the hamlet from all attacks.
With TRA forces now scattered and broken, Cairnivores proceeded to take down the clan stone, transferring control of Ramlaji to DFA.
-Revenant out
To TRA: Thanks for the battles, your persistent efforts in bringing in reinforcements are comendable, as well as the speed and resolve you showed in taking Ramlaji on your first push.
To our friends: Thanks alot, we appreciate you guys and your sacrifices.
To DFA: Well done boys. Down with the infidels!
