Movement The West Front forces moved into a more defensive position, creating a fortified wedge, close to the Southern Front. The South Front moved their forces into a tighter wedge, moving one trooper unit north to rest with the Stormtrooper unit. 7th Platoon moved into a vertical wedge to protect against flanking attacks. One order, to move a wounded trooper unit south west to rest with another trooper unit, did not get through. A runner was sent, but never reached the squad. Half the East Front forces (4 units) continued to move away from the front line and towards the river crossing. The remaining 5 units remained fortified in their line. Combat As expected, the enemy launced a massive attack from the hills. A huge number of enemy units were spotted, most armed with hand-to-hand weapons, but a few with blasters. These numbers may be over-exaggerated, as units reported enemy forces a number of times during the hour, most of which looked the same. The enemy then made a small push (three units) into the plains in the Western Front, and a larger assault into the South Front. No West Front forces were attacked. Three South Front units were attacked - 2 already wounded units. These 2 units were totally wiped out, and no survivors have been reporterd. The third unit was damaged significantly. All three units were in Lieutenant Gravins 4th Platoon. On the East Front, the enemy also made a push. The conscripts of the Front fought bravely, but 4 units were wiped out, and the other 2 were so damaged that I am ordering them to be airlifted out immediately. From now on, the East Front is undefended. Because of this, I am ordering a fighting withdrawal. Your orders are to retreat, slowly or quickly, to the river crossing in the north, before you are cut off. Major General Jalanus
