On the evening of 7 March 2022, elements of the Army of Anglei and [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal and Imperial Army]] began an offensive against the city of Barrafranca just east of [[New Constanz]]. While initially intended as an armored {{wp|Reconnaissance#Reconnaissance-in-force|reconnaissance-in-force}} operation, Varshani forces within the city were unexpectedly almost overwhelmed by midnight. Consequently, the Royal and Imperial Army sent additional reinforcements to the city around 2 AM local time on 8 March, having delayed somewhat for fear of a trap. Armored reinforcements managed to cut the lines of the city from the west, encircling the brigade-strength garrison of the city and causing them to surrender by 7 AM. Contemporary military intelligence suggested that the city would be much more heavily defended, and a study conducted in June of 2022 concluded that the [[Atomic bombing of Shimrra]] had so greatly disrupted the supply chain in northern [[Varshan]] that their occupation force in Cetsencalia was prepared to concede the northern coast in order to shorten its salient in the country. | On the evening of 7 March 2022, elements of the Army of [[Anglei]] and [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal and Imperial Army]] began an offensive against the city of Barrafranca just east of [[New Constanz]].
