<<Back at Battle>>
Yuke forces were in range of the enemy tanks. As soon as the first tank began firing, it became a turkey shoot, as the EoD forces were poorly led, and poorly armed. The EoD forces were losing tanks fast and soldiers were dying left and right. Stubbornly, the EoD forces held their ground despite losing 40% of their military force (to the Yuke-Haruhiist's 20%), fighting to the very end. Voychek was awed at the enemies victory, that when most of the force was surrounded (another 40%), Voychek took them to Cruik, with praise and a promise that no harm will come to their families.
The air duel didn't fair much better for the EoD forces. They lost 15 squads (60 planes) of planes to the Yuke's 5 (20)
The 20% that escaped (30 tanks, 15 planes and 3600 men) took up battle position in Murska Village, near the base where they were holed up between Yuke-haruhiist forces, and the incoming Zargathians. An air raid using 2x Tu-16's were called on to bomb Murska Air Base. The resulting bombing was a Pyrrhic victory, both bombers were lost, but the airbase's runways were destroyed. Makarov can no longer escape from the base.
OOC: I'm gonna let you go in and take down Makarov.
