   *With the costly engagement to his east General Monham decides that now is the time to finally exploit what he realizes is his one major advantage over the forces that resist his efforts, numbers. His previous engagements had been employed assuming some parity between his army and the defenders, Dorvan Farms and the technological treasures within ending this illusion. Some of his advisors claim it could simply be a wealthy hamlet like some of those in the Empire to the north with access to old technologies they could no longer make. The siege of the second settlement silenced them as well. \\ \\ One preplanned operation, the concept of it formed after a mixture of reconnaissance flights (before air defense assets began to pluck them from the sky) and from information gathered from the recently captured //Koles//. It was a simple equation, if he moved fast enough and with overwhelming numbers he may have a chance at establishing a foothold on this world in such a manner that its residents and the power beyond the skies couldn'​t respond quick enough. All of it in the hope he could negotiate something of a ceasefire and a ceding of land and population to his nation. As a result a Corps sized element was dispatched to the north, two reinforced divisions to the east and to the west. He held roughly a division and a half in reserve, having them establish themselves in the hills surrounding the 17th Army's basecamp and their only way home.   *With the costly engagement to his east General Monham decides that now is the time to finally exploit what he realizes is his one major advantage over the forces that resist his efforts, numbers.

-  *The direction to push with most of his forces was figured by a  mixture of both aerial reconnaissance and intelligence gathered by scrying the minds of those captured as they where cycled through his base on their way to Eideon. A major settlement sat at the confluence of both rivers that hemmed his forces in the east and west, hundreds of thousands and the infrastructure to support them as well as major road, air, and rail all converging in one spot. Of course the scrying also gave hint to a much larger armed presence in the city of Varde as well as further forces nearby. ​+  *The direction to push with most of his forces was figured by a  mixture of both aerial reconnaissance and intelligence gathered by scrying the minds of those captured as they where cycled through his base on their way to Eideon.

   *Opting for the one strategy he knew would work, he assembled the majority of his forces into a corps sized formation. Placing it under the command of one of his trusted underlings and sending it north as the underling saw fit. As a result most of the mechanized and armored forces opted for a road march, moving east down the now safe roadway and then turning northward with tank formations at the head. His various motorized infantry divisions opted to move overland, directly northward, their trucks and various craft moving in waves over the fields of Cascadium. ​   *Opting for the one strategy he knew would work, he assembled the majority of his forces into a corps sized formation.

 +  *The eastern FEBA had remained static and quiet since the ballistic missile strike, the OPSAD battalion of Del's City having driven farther south and dug in around a small town that served as little more than a weigh station for those going further south. It covered the crossroads for two major colonial highways as well as a bridge that leads further to the east. An additional battalion'​s worth of OPSAD troops have also moved north to reinforce them from settlements further in the south. ​ \\ \\ 
 +  *To their north and to the horror of those troops as they came within view of drones was another enemy formation. An entire division sent to the east by General Monham to force a crossing of the (insert name for eastern river) and push toward the mountains and any settlements within reach. ​
