Cronan Theatre of the Second Great War: Difference between revisions

As the initial invasion slowly ground to a halt due to harsh weather conditions in the late fall and winter months. Bitter fighting in the central highlands of the Cape, as well as significant urban combat in the city of XYZ characterized much of the late phases of Operation Lightfoot. The Cape by now had burned through much of their Caphirian-trained soldiers, which had been consistently thrown as shock troops to absorb Arcer offensives and blunt their advances, at great losses. Where they were unavailable, regular Arco formations had made gains and slowly enveloped these Capetian units, forcing their withdrawal to prevent being surrounded and cutoff from support and destroyed. Irregular, conscript, or poorly trained Capetian forces would melt away with successive actions by the Arcerion Parachute Regiment, which despite egregious losses early in the campaign, had received some reinforcement and was forcibly keeping Caphirian and Capetian troops on the back foot as they pushed towards Cape Town. the Confederate Parliament again submitted a memorandum to the [[Arcer General Staff]] on Christmas Eve, 1936 calling for the campaign plan for 1937, as soldiers in the Cape settled in for a lull in the fighting.
