__TOC__
==Background==
After the breakdown in relations between Only the Hated and the Kodiak Oblast after the events of the Kodiak Civil War, Stephen Lukes harbored a deep resentment for the Oblast, having the view that the Oblast left them to die. After Lukes' attempts to revitalize the partnership between Only the Hated and the Kodiak Oblast fell through, he decided that he would resort to violence. 
As retaliation, Stephen Lukes planned an attack on various Kodiak Oblast positions, including Fort Vardayn and the In-Tel Motel. The goal was to inflict was much damage as possible in the hopes of weakening the Kodiak Oblast , at which point Only the Hated could seize more territory from them. 
== The Battle ==
On July 4th troops from Only the Hated began an assault on the Oblast Fort Vardayn, resulting in minimal casualties on either side. After a firefight lasting around a half hour, OTH forces are repelled from the fort and begin to reorganize. 
The In-Tel Motel, a small motel located a sizeable distance from Fort Vardayn was occupied by Oblsat forces. After the fighting ended around Fort Vardayn, the Oblast forces occupying the motel made the decision to retreat, being unaware of whether or not there would be an attack on their position by the OTH forces.
===OTH Seizes the Motel===
Some time after the withdrawal of Oblast forces from the motel, OTH forces recoiling from their failed assault on Fort Vardayn make the decision to seize the In-Tel Motel to hold as a defensive position. When the Russian forces secured their position at Fort Vardayn, they made the decision to retake the motel.
==Kodiak Oblast Counter Attack==
Oblast forces move into a position South of the motel, keeping watch on the activities of the OTH forces garrisoning the building. The Oblast made the decision not to alert OTH to their position, instead deciding to deploy chemical weapons.
===Chemical Deployment and Oblast Assault===
Oblast forces deployed experimental VX gas into the motel through use of several infantry mortars. Shells landed in the upper levels of the motel and soon released their payload, flooding the motel with gas. No less than two minutes after the gas had settled, the Oblast deployed their special unit the 33rd regiment, known as "Yellow October." The 33rd assaulted the motel, engaging in close quarter combat, with fierce clashes in the hallways and rooms. 
After only 7 minutes of combat, the Oblast forces had cleared the motel of all it's defenders.
