Gladius attacks Yakutsk and Mongolia
G ladius, armed with knowledge obtained from the Starfisher's Mongolian HQ one month ago, pushed their armies between the border of Yakutsk and Mongolia. GLD spies in the region showed reports that the overlap between Yakutsk and Mongolia was weak, and as soon as their forces managed to set up a Forward Operating Base, the SCI chain of command began to disintegrate. Numerous CO's and NCO's began declaring that others were responsible for the area Gladius broke through, and a proper response to the invasion was delayed by several hours.

As soon as Generalissimus Starfisher received news of the attack, he panicked. The Generalissimus was afraid Gladius would seize Yakutsk, disconnecting Alaska from from the rest of his empire and trapping numerous reinforcements located in Juneau. If SCI had lost control of the crucial chokepoint, Starfisher's power over the organization would have diminished, giving one of his subordinates the opportunity to take control of SCI for himself. With victory so near, such a loss would have been a great tragedy. No ruler, particularly the Generalissimus, wants anyone taking over his corporation. Generalissimus Starfisher has ordered all armies in Japan and Mongolia to move into Yakutsk, including Major General TacticalVirus and his tank group, in order to stop Gladius at any cost.

Gladius, after moving about 200 KM deep, then split their spearhead in two; one north towards Yakutsk, and one south towards Ulaanbaattar. Both groups were comprised of three divisions, each a total of eighty thousand men. As soon as M.Gen TacticalVarius arrived to Yakutsk, he dismissed the field commander and took matters into his own hands. Under his command, SCI was able to make a comeback, stopping the Gladius advance. As the forces from Mongolia joined, TacticalVirus opened a devastating counter attack, pushing the Gladius back to the Omsk border. In Mongolia, the field commander was afraid that Gladius' 2nd attack head moving towards Ulaanbaatar was only a deception, and main attack would come from the border with Omsk. Afraid of falling into the GLD trap, he delayed the mobilization of divisions from the border line towards the north. The field commander has finally gave the order to move some of the divisions to support Ulaanbaatar yesterday, but it was too little too late. Gladius forces reached Ulaanbaatar this morning and started shelling the city with artillery fire to soften it before they move in. Unconfirmed reports claim the field commander was killed about an hour ago from a 2S19 Msta-S self propelled artillery shell directly hitting his operating base.

Attacks Around the Peru - Argentina Border Escalate
O n Monday, Gladius increased their artillery bombardment on the Argentinian border. SCI replied with increased bombardment as well. Total amount of those killed from both sides since Thursday is estimated at 522 soldiers.

Updated 06:34, Tuesday: We have just received a report Gladius tanks are moving across the no mans land towards Villazon. Is this evidence that Gladius is opening a new front?
