## Background

After the disappointing results and consequences of the Gamerian North American Campaigns, public unrest in Monarchical Gameria ran wild, with a number of riots, public demonstrations, and political outbursts, the state of the nation found itself in Turmoil. The public clashes soon turned to violence, resulting in the Abramovic Square incident, the assassination of Secretary Marko Jurić, the following hostage crisis, and the Alexandrine Purges.

## Beginning

On March 3rd, 2023, 5 days after the Abramovic Square incident, the unrest finally came to a head. Colonel Kyle Speltz, commander of the Grizzly Corps, was removed from the Barracks on the southern side of the city and taken to the Gamerian headquarters near central Zagreb. There, conversation was held between General Alberta Blue and the Colonel, with orders given to disarm the Corps, and allow for investigation of the unit. Later it would be revealed that Speltz and General Alberta communicated about an incident during the Canada Campaign, which resulted in the shooting of a nondisclosed King's Guard Kommandant, which Colonel Speltz would soon have on his criminal record. Returning to the barracks, an investigation of the Corps by the King's Guard had begun, and the majority of soldiers had been disarmed. Over the course of the day, its believed roughly 20 Gamerian soldiers were captured or killed in a purge carried out by Alexandrine II.

## First battle of Zagreb

*Main article: First Battle of Zagreb*

6:25pm, March 3rd, select soldiers were selected from Grizzly Corps to participate in sentry duty, being placed at seperate distinctive positions in Zagreb. Orders were given to intercept and shoot anyone who passed their zone. Colonel Kyle Speltz was positioned in King's square, with his close ally CCT David Rodriquez being positioned two streets to the west. Sergeant Major Bonney stood south of the square, Private Austin Mayfield was positioned at the bank, Corporal Bobkovich was near the eastern fire station, and several tanks of Lieutenant Colonel James Keating's dragoons formed a line slightly south of the group, supported by infantry from the Guard and Grizzly Corps.

At 6:30pm, King's Guard T-72s rolled near the dragoons. Several guards nearby the dragoons moved forward, suddenly forming positions nearby each of the soldiers. At this point in time, Colonel Speltz was seen turning to face the square, only for an image of himself to appear on display screens in the square, listed as Public Enemy #1.

At 6:32, King's Guard Commissar Stjepan Berislavic, the direct commissar under the command of General Alberta, attempted to apprehend the Colonel. Aiming his handgun at Speltz, the Colonel drew his own sidearm, and killed Berislavic before he could return fire. Immediately after, chaos erupted in the square. Machine gun fire from guardsmen peppered the streets, missing the newly proclaimed traitors. Guardsmen, Mercenary, and loyalist Grizzly corps forces rushed the armored column. Deploying smoke and exiting BTRs, they began to secure soldiers and fire small arms towards the tanks. Attempting to negotiate, Keating accepted apprehension from an unmarked guardsman, who was presumed to be a Russian mercenary. After this point in time, Speltz was last seen running from the scene. He was not spotted during the escape. At 6:35, T-72's from the king's guard fired anti tank rounds at close range towards Keating's dragoons, who were deploying smoke and pulling back from the battlefield. Given the extremely close proximity of the shots, an M1A1 Abrams was destroyed.

Using this opportunity, Keating shot and killed the soldier apprehending him. In turn, soldiers nearby began to return fire towards Keating. In this instant, a message from a pre-established radio frequency, which Speltz had tuned to an emergency system, was sent to Bonney, Keating, Rodriquez, Mayfield, Bobkovich, and Alvarez. The message ordered for the men to retreat into wheat fields on the outskirts of the city. At 6:40, a message in response was sent by Keating, ordering a retreat. The message was interrupted when he received a gunshot wound to the throat. Keating was rescued and cared for by a group of civilians, as Keating, in a dazed state, crawled away from the scene.

As the battle dragged on, the Gamerian Royal Air Force quickly established air supremacy, taking control of nearly every airbase in Croatia in a short period of time. Mi-24 "Hinds" battered the city, bringing destruction to buildings and infrastructure. Defending members of the Grizzly Corps often found themselves being cut down by the air power, despite their best efforts.

Eventually the rebel forces found themselves hiding in a wheat field outside the city. In the end, large portions of Zagreb had been completely destroyed, or at the very least damaged.

The First Battle of Zagreb resulted in roughly 207 Loyalist deaths, roughly 125 Rebel combat deaths, and a low estimate of 220 civilian deaths. This battle threw the country into chaos, leading to a civil war throughout the entirety of the nation.

## Continuation near Zagreb

By March 4th, the majority of Rebel Gamerian Forces had been eradicated or at the very least pushed out of Zagreb. Russian PMCs played a vital role in securing the city for Gamerian Loyalists, and would continue in this role through their hunt of remaining rebels. Over the course of the day and the following few days, Speltz’s unit had a dangerous run-in with a reconnaissance unit, in which an unconfirmed number of Loyalists were killed, as well as Private Mayfield betraying the Colonel, engaging in hand to hand combat until Speltz stabbed Mayfield. Mayfield was later treated for injuries. The unit’s encounter with the reconnaissance team came to a head when Sergeant Major Bonney became separated in a nearby forest. Seeking to find him, Colonel Speltz departed alone to reach the Sergeant. Advancing through the woods, Speltz encountered a patrol force from the unit. Seemingly fueled by wrath rather than want to accomplish his mission, Speltz ran through the forest, firing on the move at the soldiers. As he went along, accounts state he moved “Just like one would have been trained to do.” After killing the patrol, Speltz located and escorted Bonney away.
