March 5611

Randworth - After months of brutal fighting the lines of the Aldurian Junta collapsed against strong allied effort to liberate the people of Alduria. Mordusian, Luthorian and Kajoran forces have since moved in and occupy the nation so that it can be helped transition back to a free democracy and vote on its own future. A future, all sides hope, is friendly towards the Canrille and Commonwealth.
 
Painful we can call this campaign, to fight against a nation that is in relationship as close as kin. One could describe the relationship to that of somewhere in between a sibling and cousin. However this fight between friends had to happen due to the harsh terror attacks by the fanatic junta. A foolish action that has not helped their case, but also caused shock and anger within Mordusia. Both nations have now to figure out how they wish to proceed their relations.

Pushing forward 
As last we reported the Luthorian invasion along the coast had begun as the Mordusian forces pushed down south whilst the Kanjor forces pushed forward north. Its clear that this war was a realisation for the Mordusian as many tactical blunders had been made and several lessons learned. Despite this victory was near! As the allies pushed forward the junta began concentrating their forces around their capital, putting fierce resistance against the invading powers. So much so that the other frontlines where put on a lesser priority. Only the province of Nouvelle-Orange was put as a major priority. The lines moved poorly outside of Nouvelle-Orange for the coalition at first. Only after shelling and coordinated attacks did the forces of the junta retreat further.  



Liberating Nouvelle-Orange, the centre of Orange-Villayn history in Alduria 
Besides the main front in the east of the country, the Nouvelle-Orange front was the priority. From a strategy point of view this province has not much of a priority, however soon after its liberation it was shown that it was the centre piece in our war justification and fight. As orange flags, flags with the weapon of the Orange-Villayn monarchy were hanged all across the capital of Nouvelle-Orange. The province like the neighbouring Mordusian province of New Orange were named after the Principallity of Orange and are reminders of the shared history of both nations link with the Orange family of Luthori and the Villayns of Alduria who together formed the Orange-Villayn dynasty. Monuments were preserved and even rebuild. Much to the joy of the local population.

Towards the capital & the final siege 
Months of protracted fighting continued on the eastern front as the move towards the capital progressed slowly. The junta used increasingly guerilla tactics and blew up vital infrastructure to slow the progression of the coalition forces. This scorched earth policy went to the detrement of their own population, which the coalition forces along the way came to help as much as they could. Afterall if this is a campaign to liberate the people one can hardly let the people live in more hardship can they? This however proved to become increasingly difficult as the junta used this to further frustrate plans to end the war swiftly. As mechanised and infantry division got closer to the urban centres a bloody urban warfare began to set off. The siege had begun.
 
The siege lasted for months. To break through the Royal Mordusian Army began using mortars and other kinds of artillery to shoot at the junta forces and terrorist support unites. Together with the Kanjor forces pushed on to the centre of the junta command, breaking in with fierce hand to hand combat being used as well as close combat shooting. Eventually the resistance, after a long and hard war, broke down. It was over. The capital city of Alduria was liberated.
 


Occupation and rebuilding a free Alduria
Now began to the organisation of the occupation, only the west had to be occupied and fully screened for remaining resistance pockets. This proved to be a less hard endeavour as the war in the east. Resistance broke down near instantly upon coalition forces arriving with only a few major fights along the way. After which the nation was divided in occupation zones between the three powers. Now a new Aldurian government needs to be set up. What is clear is that all parties involved want a free and democratic Alduria.
