Battle of Griswall

The Battle of Griswall was the final battle between Leasathian and Aurelian forces in Aurelian soil. It is a military operation to liberate Griswall, the capital of Aurelia.

Situation
December 10 2020, the final battle in Aurelian soil was about to begin. The operation was to begin in 1900 hours, Griswall, the capital city of Aurelia was about to be liberated by Aurelian forces. The Leasathian army has been preparing for the attack ever since the destruction of the Gleipnir in the first Battle of Santa Elva. They have constructed the Atmos Ring early in the war, after the fall of Griswall in Leasath hands, however, they seem to think that the Atmos Ring was nothing but a shield to protect the city from ground forces, but is pretty much useless for defending from air assaults. They answered this problem by building the Meson Cannon, a formidable rail gun system that keeps the city in a protective dome of 20 miles wide and 10 miles high.

Objectives
The Aurelians objectives were to destroy the Meson Cannon as quickly as possible then secure Gaiuss Tower and capture the Leasathian commanders inside, once the tower was secured, the Aurelian airforce was to repel all counter attacks from the Leasathians.

The Leasathians objectives were to defend Griswall until reinforcements from Leasath arrives and completely repel and drive out the Aurelians from the capital.

The Battle
The assault on the city was about to begin, it was sparked of by the Leasathians when the Meson Cannon shot down and killed Ninox 2, a SU-27 pilot, the Aurelian forces started the attack with the air filled with Meson Beams. The Aurelians has the disadvantage in both air and land forces, both of which cannot even touch the Atmos Ring. However, after the air force discovered that the Meson Cannon cannot effectively take out planes travelling at a speed of more that 600 mph they began to destroy the Meson Cannon, effectively turning the battle against the Leasathians. The Ground forces of Leasath attempted to defend the city the best as they could, but are overwhelmed by the Aurelian forces because of the air support given by Gryphus 1. There are two ways the Leasathians commenced a counter attack, 1) in the mission Atmos ring, the Leasathian air force sent fighters to take out the Aurelian airforce and Gryphus 1 and take air superiority, effectively leaving the ground forces of Aurelia from air assaults. 2) in the mission Wild Card, the Leasathians sent their elite Skylla Unit to destroy the defence perimeter of the capital and allow Leasathian troops to attack Griswall. However, they failed to accomplish this and Gaiuss Tower was secured, all Leasathian forces began to retreat to Leasath. The success of the operation made Gryphus 1 a living legend.

Aftetmath
Leasath forces began to retreat from other places in Aurelia, although some pockets of resistance remains they are overwhelmed the Aurelian forces since their leaders were gone. However the real battles were only about to begin, Leasaths most advanced and elite units are still deep in Leasath territory, the 14 days of the war will become the bloodiest of all.
