Catskill Offensive

== The Catskill Offensive ==
The Catskill Offensive was a major offensive campaign by Seaboard which targeted the counties of upstate New York that had signed into the Harrisburg Committee. The offensive took place over the course of several months, and ended when the consolidated remains of the Second Appalachian Army Corps and the Marine Alpha Regiment were completely routed.
The Catskill Offensive officially began when Seaboard Major Yudhan and Captain Erdogan were sent northbound to engage with the New England territories. This in itself was a decoy, as the forces in New England were few and far between and posed no significant threat to Seaboard. Instead, by dragging out the invasion North, it caused nearly a third of the Harrisburg Committee's military forces to be dispatched North. By doing this, Seaboard General Sherman commanded the Eastern Army Corps to occupy the southeastern territories of New York.
Due to underestimating the strength and numbers of the enemy, the Appalachian Army and Marine division, commanded by Colonel Krauss, had made no plans in case a retreat was needed. Because of this, the increasingly skilled and advanced Eastern Seaboard Army was able to plow through the relatively undefended south New York Counties, creating a blockade that severed the Appalachian Army in two. Following the defeat at the Battle of the Big Indian, the Appalachian forces were put on the defense until they were routed entirely less than a month later.
