Operation Tiger Wrath

"CORN FOR THE CORNBREAD! BLOOD FOR THE IMPERIALBLOOD! OORAH TO ASHES!" - Captain CoderQwerty after the Battle of HydrofactaOperation Tiger Wrath was a crusade conducted by Lieutenant TomSosei on seven raid targets from August 25 to August 29 of 2190. The events saw the utilization of four different combat scripts: ACS, Swords, RCL, and CodeQwerty's gun script. The crusade also went in hand with the Quest of the Holy Cornbread, which religiously fueled the Marines' bloodlust and warmongering.
==History ==
===Operation Loose Ends===
"We demoralized the fuck out of them." - CPL Qzak501The crusade kicked off on August 25 targeting a remote area in the Caucasus Mountains. Marines split up into separate detachments in a race against Shadow Company to capture objective points. With sheer numbers, the Marines advanced further past the objective points and held a ridgeline that Shadow Company operatives must pass through. With the operatives being held at a wide chokepoint, Shadow Company retreated, starting their campaign with a victory.
===Soviet Conflict===
The next day brought a double-header with the first being against a Soviet Union group. The raid was a deathmatch on Varcia, Futuretops. During the battle, communications were down and a lack of leadership shadowed the Marines. Lieutenant TomSosei seemed to have been missing in action during his own raid. Lack of communication and leadership caused the Marines to become disorganized, ultimately giving the Marines their first crusade lost. Of course, TomSosei was recovered after the battle.
===Operation Aries===
Despite the day's prior defeat, there was a found confidence in the Marines as they take on the desert threat of 3rd Infantry Division (3ID). Similarly to Operation Loose Ends, the map featured an ACS gun script and capture points. There was a lack of reconnaissance performed by the Marines and they initially had no game plan going in. With the use of a minimap, Marines were quickly able to split into squads and designate a capture point for each of the squads to take. The Armored Division were especially happy to utilize the tanks that were waiting for them at the spawn area. Quickly capturing four of seven points, Marines were able to establish a bulkhead just like Operation Loose Ends, and keep 3ID forces from capturing the center point. Despite the 3ID aerial and armored support, the Marines were able to pull out with a victory. This would lead to 3ID's strong urge for a counterattack.
===Battle of Hydrofacta===
On August 27, Marines have found themselves in a fanatical frenzy over the announcement that the Holy Cornbread has been located. This frenzy had them attempt to bring down the Imperium of Man's Hydrofacta. Marines deployed and immediately took control of capture points prior to crossing to the bridge. A skirmish ensues over the three bridges with TomSosei personally leading a charge for Point F, capturing it multiple times. The Main Service Bridge eventually is lost and the IoM regain the lead. With the battle at stake, the Commandant orders the remaining Marines to grab chainswords and to charge into enemy lines. They probe through the IoM forces, capturing the majority of Hydrofacta, but it isn't enough, handing the Marines their second defeat.
===Canal Rush Invasion===
As soon as the Canal Rush Invasion started, Lone Star Empire defense forces showed why they are feared in the RCL community. Raiders had to locate and destroy multiple crates that were littered across the Canal Rush. The Marines' were almost immediately pushed back to their spawn where they were trapped for the majority of the raid, as LSE forces used vantage points to keep them pinned. Even bum rushes to the tunnels made no use as LSE forces would wait for them on the other side. Before officially losing, the Marines made one final push to the Mountains to destroy the last few remaining crates to no avail as time expires.
===Battle of Anaxes===
On August 28, bottomless TomSosei lands with his Marine detachment on Anaxes. It is beyond reasoning on why an Empire group has an Anaxes map, but if there is a map, there is a raid. The Marine forces would split into three groups, one for each of the capture points. In the initial phases of the raid, controlling points Alpha and Beta proved to be a difficult feat as control of the point were exchanged between the Imperials and Marines. However, after diverting forces from Charlie group, a reinforced attack on Beta allowed for all the points to be under USCMC control. With the use of aerial troop transport, aerial hijackings, and good communications, the Marines were able to celebrate their third win of the crusade with a nuke in Kiowa.
=== Mando Conflict===
Prior to the crusade, the Marines raided the Mandalorian base on Kyrimorut twice. They proved to be a worthy opponent, despite their behavior, and they agreed to fight on neutral grounds on Futuretops on August 29. On the Faircity map, a King of the Hill matchup was set up with the introduction of swords. The lack of swordsmanship seemed to handicap the Marines since they are much used to blasting bugs with their pulse rifles. Terrible environmental awareness resulted in the Mandos ambushing multiple unsuspecting Marines whilst hiding in the ruins of the city. The lack of bodies on the point due to the many small scaled ambushes would give the Marines their fourth defeat. Even a German shouting LCPL Captain_VulcanII riding a horse morphed TomSosei could not save them.
===Defense of Arachthos===
To conclude the crusade, the Marines found themselves on home turf as 3ID forces demanded a counterattack on Arachthos. Marines split up into several fireteams, each defending a landmark of Arachthos. The defense was textbook with Center Command and Dragon Wreck taking the brunt of the invasion. With good communications, the Marines ended the crusade on a 4:4 split.
===Conclusion===
The crusade was officially wrapped up on August 30 where a parade was conducted to commemorate Operation Tiger Wrath's conclusion. 47 Marines attended the ceremony, breaking the attendance record for a single event and breaking the charity record with $165. Attendees that served in the raids were give variations of the Operation Tiger Wrath ribbon dependent on how many events they partook in. Marines were then quickly deployed to Keyrut's Reach, later dubbed the Second Siege of Reach, claiming victory in a record three hours.
