The Jalastan Skirmish

On the 4th of July 1986 at 7:15PM 2 Infantry Companies along with a Tank Platoon under the Command of MAL's Junior Colonel Getzovski Urlatov crossed into the Region of Jalastan, They encountered a Recon Squad which promptly reported their position but they were forced to pull back due to the lack of AT Weaponry.

8:00 PM

The Element's objective was to take over the village of Serlon, which was in a desolate location were they expected little resistance to occupation, however upon reaching the Thick Jungle of Jalastan they were straffed by 2 NIF-7 Heavy Land-Based Fighters, aka Jolly(ies) and one of their 4 tanks broke down due to damage to the engine from the strafing.

8:15

The Element was approaching Serlon inside the Jalastan Jungle, what they thought was lightly occupied turned out to be a Large Military Base occupied mainly by Frolikar Garrison Troops, this was their training ground for their Special Operations Soldiers and 2 entire divisions of Spec-Ops were deployed, despite still being in training, they managed to Hold back the Enemy Forces suffering only 6 Wounded whilst the enemy was forced to retreat after suffering 31 Wounded and 17 Dead, all but 1 of their tanks were disabled from AT Weaponry.

8:35

After leaving the Jungle they started their retreat south back to friendly lines, however this had not ended yet, a small formation of aircraft was spotted just west of them, a total of 12 HCA-8LA (aka Ulesses) Ground Attack Aircraft outfitted with bombs were diving on their location, using the tank as a reference point they dropped their Bombs on the MAL forces, mounting 20 Dead and 17 more wounded from the attack.

9:30

the Infantry Companies finally return to their base and report the existance of a Large Military presence in Jalastan, particularly their Spec-Ops Training Base.
