Major marine units supporting. […]

Given good intelligence. It’s much easier to. Prevent an attack with. A few precision strikes.   Than to meet it. Soldier-for-soldier. Tank-for-tank. On the battlefield.     A clutch of ‘orcs’ officers. Reportedly gathered for. A hasty meeting. Along a road near Tokmak.   Just 15 miles. South of the front line. In ‘orcs’-occupied. Southern […]
