Battle of Bloxdover

While the largest (and longest) battle of the war took place in Bloxell City, the battle for the industrial city of Bloxdover was one of the most important and had some of the most intense fighting.

Invasion of the Police Station
The battle began when GRAF soldiers rallied with weapons and supplies in the Bloxell Intelligence Organization headquarters, and stormed the Bloxdover Police Department. Officers defended with every weapon they had, while the GRAF relentlessly assaulted the station. The police were moderately armed, using automatic rifles, handguns, and shotguns, while the invaders used mostly submachine guns, but also anti tank rifles and improvised explosive devices. The station was reduced to rubble by the end of the station, and the Chief of Police, Marshall Boyce was dragged into a nearby apartment and executed.

Nationalist Assault
The Bloxell National Army was upset that the GRAF had seized control of such an important city, so they took two Mi-35 attack helicopters that they were given by the Russians and began their own assault on the city. The Mi-35s quickly disposed of the GRAF forces, shredding them with rockets and heavy machine gun fire. It had taken a day for the GRAF to seize the city, but only thirty minutes for them to be destroyed by the Bloxell National Army, who were now in control of all of Coal County.

American Intervention
The Americans saw how much land the BNA had taken and how they were being supported by Russia, so they deployed the National Guard in Bloxell to Bloxdover to take back the city. They entered the city and engaged in firefights with the local nationalist forces, who were armed with Kalashnikovs and sniper rifles. Armed only with M16s and a few HMGs, the National Guard fought well, but they were losing ground. After sniper fire had disabled their last HMG, the Mi-35 helicopters moved in and finished them off. The Bloxell National Army then descended on their positions, capturing any survivors.

Aftermath
The Bloxell Nationalist Army having already controlled the Bloxell City and Bloxville areas now controlled all of Coal County. The American hostages were personally executed by General Luka Kovačević, as well as a few GRAF hostages. The Americans did not want to lose more troops in such an insignificant island, so they covered up the loss and banned American media from reporting on anything at all in Bloxell.
