End of Day 1
– Manzanian forces make their initial push into Naranja in an attempt to take
control of the country. Northern forces take the towns of Pocopico and Piefuego
and advance as far as the Eastern shore of Naranja’s Lago Azul. Southern
forces advance quickly, pushing to within 30 miles of the capital city of Citrica.
Manzana has moved one Harrier brigade and one Falcon brigade forward to
the test sites at Rio Fango and Dos Rios in an effort to maintain air defense of
the Amistad battle area.

End of Day 3
Redraw FLOT to be consistent with storyline
(Manzana forces advance to western edge of
lake)
Through skillful maneuvering and use of resources, Manzanian forces in the
North conduct a brutal counterattack that pushes Naranji forces back to the
Western shores of Lago Azul. Nearly one-quarter of Northern Naranja is lost.
Meanwhile, combined Naranji regular forces and reserves from Citrica and
Puerto Limon in the South manage to push back Manzana’s Southern forces
to the foothills of the Escaleras del Sol. Naranji Air Forces (NAF) conduct
bombing attacks against Manzanian air defenses that destroy the Harrier
SAM sites at Rio Fango, Dos Rios, and Escaleras del Sol and the Condor
Site at Punta Gorda Air Defense Headquarters.

End of Day 6
– Most of the Manzanian forces have been pushed back across the mountains,
except for the heavily defended town of Piefuego in the North. The NAF attempts
to destroy the remainder of Manzana’s air defenses, conducting bombing raids
against their five remaining SAM sites. Initial reports indicate that attacks against
Ronquidos SAM Site West and Rio Mojado SAM Site were unsuccessful, but the
Harrier site at La Huerta North and the Condor site at Punta Pescados were
successfully destroyed. The Harrier site at Punta Gorda is unlocated at this time.
In the center of the Amistad Battle Area, a possible forward command post has
been built couth of the General Roberto de Jefe Highway. This possible field
command post consists of a road and parking area upon which are parked two
command armored personnel carriers (Sector L).

End of Day 7
– The town of Piefuego is now back in the hands of Naranja as Naranji forces
push remaining Manzanian forces back into the mountains in the North. In the
South, Manzanian forces have pushed back into Amistad Pass. A new Harrier
SAM site has been built in the Amistad Battle Area, South of the Fango River
and just North of the forward command post reported yesterday. The Harrier
equipment is assessed to have come from the Punta Gorda Sam Site, which
had been previously unlocated. Another SAM site, of possible Harrier
configuration, is observed under construction at the Western end of the Amistad
Battle Area, in the foothills of the Escaleras del Sol mountains near the
highway. A possible SAM support area is also being built just North of this
facility.

End of Day 8
Manzanian forces have retaken the town of Piefuego in the North. In the
South, Naranji forces have pushed back to retake most of Amistad Pass but
fighting is still heavy in this region. Manzanian air defense forces have
completed construction of the Harrier SAM site at the Western end of the
Amistad Battle Area, and have brought in Harrier equipment from
somewhere to make this site operational. This equipment could have come
from one of the two La Huerta SAM sites which perhaps was not fully
destroyed as was previously assessed, or perhaps it came from elements of
both sites. Manzanian air defense now consists of four short-range Harrier
SAM sites: two in the Amistad Battle Area (sectors G & K), one at Ciudad del
Ronquidos, and one at Rio Mojado SAM Site.

End of Day 11
– Naranji forces push into the Amistad Battle Area. In the North, Naranji troops
cross through the Cazador Gap and retake the town of Pocopico. Manzanian air
defense forces have now built a third Harrier site in the Amistad Battle Area
(Sector U, plus existing sites at G & K), this one South of the Manzanian-occupied
village of Gran Roble. The site is already operational, with Harrier equipment on
all of the launch pads and a Harrier radar on the radar mound. It is assessed that
this equipment was built from salvaged and spare parts from previous Harrier
sites. Manzanian air defense now consists of five Harrier sites, three of which are
defending the Amistad Battle Area.

End of Day 13
– Naranji troops from the Northern and Southern fronts meet Southeast of the town of
Pocopico and make a coordinated push toward the East. Since this area is lightly
defended, large areas of ground are gained. The Naranji Air Forces (NAF) conduct
bombing raids in an attempt to destroy all of the five Manzana Harrier sites. The NAF
is once again unsuccessful in taking out the site at Ciudad del Ronquidos, but
reconnaissance confirms that the new site South of Gran Roble has been destroyed.
Heavy ground fire prevents reconnaissance of the other three sites, delaying further
confirmation of the success of the airstrike.
