Cherbourg has fallen in our hands. Two other missile fabrication facilities have been taken. Two naval fabrication facilities scrapped. With these movements i let the Phase 2 for concluded.



These are the casualties so far:



Now lets see what will be our next step.

Let see first the status of our Armed Forces.



We have 538 land units, moslty infantry and front artillery, 55 air units, 40 of them are F-35, and 93 naval units, mostly frigates and subs. We have a good reserve of naval missiles, but none of air lunched missiles. Despite the x10 fabrication capacity we always run out of those, and they are very helpfull in disrupting enemy offensives. There are 9 new missiles fabrication facilities being repaired (ex-french ones) or built up. With them, our misiille fabrication numbers will triplicate coming to 130 missiles fabrication slots,from the actual 40. We expect the first to come online in two-three weeks, though.

It will take a while until we have enough forces in the libyan border to mount a decent offensive. I am still confident, despite the several war declarations (and the probably more to come in near future) that we can hold our actual borders everywhere. We can even mount a discrete offensive in Europe, our main goal still, if our advance is cautious. Therefore i will slowly advance towards Switzerland waiting for them to come.
Meanwhile the economy must be put again in the plus, we have lost 35 bill in the last month and at this pace we will not be able to finance the war. That all means that i will probably conduct the next war operations myself, letting the AI initiative still inactive.

Next Phase is called Massacre in Sight, i just hope its an enemies massacre and not mine. Operations will start on December 1st 2021.

PHASE 3: Massacre in Sight
This is the small front that we will use to continue our advance towards Switzerland first, and Germany later. It is just a line with most infantry and some RN-94 artillery. But i am confident they will do the work. Some forces are kept in reserver for replacement. 7 F-35 squadrons will support the advance. To the right the italian border that could get any time active.



Later on this day the swiss border is arrived. The first combats take place and their air forces arrive to bombard my line. The F-35 use their magic and soon air dominance will be stablished.

2th December, the fights at the border still favour us. Many swiss air units have beed damaged. Some land units killed. Slowly along the north road, more swiss units come to the battle. I hope that the enemy launches a storm like attack soon.

3th December, the trap is set, despite their numerous Leopard 2A5 and Grizzly APC, numbers mean nothing when you are oblige to fight in a two hexes small front, my units surround those hexes and the casualties at the swiss side begin to increase.

5th December, the AI has broken the trap with units coming from the east, very good move, indeed. We are now fighting in equally condicionts. Over 50 enemy swiss units are hammering my lines, half of them Leopard 2A5. I begin the replacemtent moves in the worst combat areas. The line holds yet without many problems and causalties on both sides mount. We are both retiring wounded units from the front, so the total kills aren't that many yet.



The Libyan Front remains inactive, while reinforcements slowy arrived. The three cities had hold all attacks without many problems. Some sporadic fight are held in the desert, fast ended by our airforce.



The casualties so far for all involved parties, the killed german units are all ships.

6th December, nice picture from the Swiss Front, the combats are extemly heavy, more and more swiss units storm into the fight. Casualties on both sides increase rapidly, the pressure of 10 Leopard 2 A5 units in the center seems to be near breaching my single line. Reinforcements are on the way. This is getting very fun.



At some point Slovenia declared war on us, but we could buy us peace.
After 62 hours of intense combat, the swiss forces retreat. Many of their units were badly damaged, also as well as over 30 of my units were sent to be repaired, including two F-35 squadrons. These are the casulaties after those heavy fights, two of our killed units were garrisons:

Assault on Geneve, first swiss city to be attacked. Enemy reinforcements storm down the road into the killing fields of the city. This time many enemey units are getting obliterated, the world begins to understand the macabre name of our current phase.



10th December, Geneve has fallen. The swiss forces retire from the front and entrech in their cities. In only 24 hours they have lost 31 units vs none on our side. Despite this defeat the swiss army must count still with many effectives and our plan will continue without changes. Slowly advance towards their capital. And, if possible, let them come.

North of the lakes, in Lausanne, many AA Units and some heavy 155mm artillery are in position. There is also an airfield, where many air units took refuge after the fallen of Geneve. We plan a small trap and send 8 infantry units towards the north. They destroy almost at contact manay AA Units and provoke the air units to launch. At this moment our 7 F-35 squadrons appear.



Two days later i give the retreat order to the starting position. More and more enemy armor units are coming and my single infantry stack woldn't be able to keep the position. The main goal, destruction of most of their air units, is more or less achieved. Again 32 new enemy units have been destroyed vs none on our side.



Now the main consideration to keep advancing are their numerous 155mm artillery. If we advance, we must storm, to catch them as soon as possible. For an storm attack we don't have enouth units yet and they seem to have learnt not to come to us.

In the Libyan Front there are no changes, some sporadic combats take place but nothing serious. Slowly but steady an invasion force concentrates on the border.



20th December, Serbia declares war, no chance to get a diplomatic deal. No changes in all fronts, we continue concentrating troops at the key points.

25th December. The troops are ready, the assault of Lausanne begins. We will approach from both sides. If Lausanne falls, the capital, Bern, is just a step away.



At the end of the day the city is surrounded:

27th December Lausanne has fallen in our hands. The siege of Bern has begun.



At the end of the day the swiss defend their capital with all means. This is the most fierce battle we had that far. Over 100 enemy units have been killed vs 2 on our side. But their numbers don't seem to decrease, the next 24 hours will be very bloody.

28th December the capital has fallen. The fights continue in all fronts. Will Switzerland surrender or continue the war?



They move their capital to Zürich and the fight continues, we have no other chance than to continue the offensive. Casualties continue mounting and battles are as fierce as ever. Switzerland is surley fighting with full determination for their homeland. Thanks BG, this is getting really fun.



Casualties numbers so far, consider that in the last 4 days 155 swiss units and 7 spanish units have been destroyed.

4th January Zürich has fallen, despite their brave defense, our victorious troops enter the capital. With 274 units killed and many other wounded, two capitals fallen and most fabrication facilities lost, it doesn't seem probably that they continue the fight, but we will see.
What you can see in the north is the german border , full of armies untouched yet, that will very probably storm along the border as soon as our frontiers touch each other. Will Switzerland surrender? Will i be able to hold against the german hordes?



The casualties of all involved parties so far:

We were lucky and they didn't surrender. The new Switzerland capital is Basel. I mean that we were lucky because almost all my offensive forces are sent to repair. Over 100 land units repairing, as well as 6 F-35 squadrons. The remaining units at the field are all damaged, with effectives between 60-90%. A surrendering from Switzerland right now would have given us a long border with Germany, border that we can't hold right now. In one or two weeks our forces will be again at full strenght, and the total conquest of Switzerland can at last be a reality. While waiting for the units to be fight ready, i will slowly organize the frontline that should hold any possible german storm attack.

16th January 2022, many of our forces are in position. The assault on Basel is about to begin. Lets see if this is the end of the Swiss Wars.
