## Timeline

1:29 PM, Pacific - In response to the disappearance of 2 Furry Gunships, the Empire sends a force of 10 aircraft carriers and a Plagueship to deal with what is reported to possibly be a massive new threat. The force arrives at the ruins of Old Chicago to find the decrepit city has been fortified heavily, with a massive vault door built into the ground in the city's center opening. This vault led to the newly-discovered underground city of New Chicago, where Gamers had been preparing for their return for the last 30 years. As such, they have a massive force, including a few hundred tanks, approximately 20,000 soldiers, and a fully functioning airship fleet.

1:40 PM, Pacific - The Furry Empire launches their fighters, calling for reinforcements. However, due to signal jamming, these communications never get through the fighters duel with Gamer Resistance F-16s and Vertibirds to combat Furry Empire Hunter-Choppers and R-97 Air Superiority Fighters. The two forces duel overhead as the Gamers launch an airship fleet, led by their flagship *Prydwen*, to combat the Empire's carriers. Gamer/Furry forces duel on the ground, Furry infantry being cut down by Power Armor units and Magic spells casted by Gamer Warlocks.

4:03 P.M. Central - The 1st Mecha Shock Commandos Division troops, mechs, special-forces, etc begin deploying themselves on the front-lines and shooting down hostile aircraft with their artillery weapons. Some of their Mech and Shocktrooper forces also hold off any Furry ground-assault divisions using basic weaponry, and tactical brute force. It appears their main use of attack is the "Scorched Earth" tactic.

2:11 PM, Pacific - Baron Von OwO and Moondust arrive, the Furry Empire having destroyed the Gamer Resistance's main signal jamming device. However, they have lost yet another Helicarrier, and their Plagueship has crashed, the soldiers onboard turning into Zombies. Moondust rallies a force to counter-attack the Gamer Resistance, dropping in on elite cloaked gunships and destroying vital two heavy artillery cannons. However, they are later forced to retreat. The Furry Empire sends 2 more Helicarriers, but believes the battle is lost, shocked by the Gamer's resurgence. Despite meager reinforcements, the Furry Empire is largely on their own.

3:00 PM, Pacific - The Gamers continue to push back Furry ground troops, and their airship fleet runs boarding maneuvers against their Helicarriers, forcing many troops to evacuate to the ground.

6:17 P.M. Central - With the aid of some other Gamer Resistance members, the MSCD1 finish setting up the blockade and begin quickly using it as a secure line to deploy troops from garrisons.

8:07 AM, Pacific - The Gamers have almost cleared out all Furry resistance, and have received the assistance of a small cell of Human Resistance soldiers. With the last of the Furry soldiers retreating, surrendering, or running suicide attacks, the battle is considered a success.
