UWF-ORL War

"Well, that was underwhelming."
== Overview ==
The UWF-ORL War was intended to be the opening action in Operation Tiger Wrath, a joint UWF series of conflicts within 2020. However, as events transpired, this was not the case. Following a disastrous attempt by ORL to raid the Haven Archipelago prior to the official commencement of hostilities- and in doing so meeting a UWF force greatly in excess of what they expected- and near-total obliteration of ORL defenders by UWF forces on Highway 17 in a follow-up raid led to the complete demoralization of ORL. Their unconditional surrender was issued on 4 August, 2020, a full three days prior to the official beginning of the war.
Their final action before being vanquished came just after the surrender, and again led to the raiding party sent to Haven being obliterated by UWF assets.
== Prelude ==
In the days and weeks prior to the official announcement of the War to Marine assets, preparations were already being made for morale boosting materials. Among these was Operation Royal Flush, conducted by the fledgling Marine PSYOPS Team, in addition to a wealth of memes in order to evoke maximum lust for ORL blood.
== Opening Action- The Defense of Haven ==
As part of the run-up to the War itself, both sides were planned to conduct raids against the bases of the opposition. This began with an ORL raid against the UWF Haven Archipelago. However...
The ORL had failed to evaluate the impact of stating that they would "match whatever forces the UWF deployed" and had failed to adequately scout the Archipelago. As a result during the preliminary raid the UWF outnumbered the ORL raiding party by 3:1, leading to an unbridled annihilation of the incoming force and victory for the UWF, as ORL withdrew from the Archipelago 37 minutes before the end of the raid time limit. The UWF lost on the order of 400 troops during the defence across all units; by contrast, the ORL assaulting forces lost over 1,000 of their troops in the botched effort.
 
This was celebrated as a massive pre-war victory for the UWF. 
== The Final (Official) Raid: Highway 17 ==
In reply to the ORL's failed preliminary raid, UWF selected Raid Under Highway 17, a facility operated by the Order Of the Crimson Eagle as their target for a pre-war raid. In order to give other UWF assets the opportunity to engage, Marine involvement in the Raid was more limited than in the Defense of Haven: Only assets from the USCM Special Forces and USCM attachments to the UWF Federal Rangers were deployed, totaling around six to eight Marines.
Prior to dismissal, USCM rallied roughly 28 men to enact a beatdown on ORL. Unfortunately, the main body was pulled back so the defenders could have a fair chance.
That being said, no Marine reinforcements were required, as the UWF's assault was of such a brutality and swiftness that the ORL's attempts to defend their home territory collapsed altogether, leading the ORL defenders to remove the UWF raiders by admin commands. ORL officially declared their unconditional surrender to the UWF at 09:30 UTC, 4 August 2020.
== Third Time's a Curse: Failed Re-Raid of Haven ==
After declaring their surrender, a small contingent of ORL and members of Lone Star Empire -presumably led or persuaded to raid by 45roman, who had already earned the ire of his own by leading the Coalition into a war against the far superior UWF- attempted one final raid against the Haven Archipelago. 
Needless to say, ORL had not learned from either of the previous disasters which had befallen them, and the UWF defense forces dispatched to Haven in response to their attempted raid butchered them with little difficulty.
