First Battle of Perplex

The First Battle of Perplex was a conflict fought for over a month. The 37-day battle saw much bloodshed and carnage, with casualties ranging in the tens of thousands, many were civillians.

On the 29th July 1914, forces from the Central Powers launched an assault on the Gaddus Empire. The Gaddus forces were already pushed back to Perplex by the time the Allies could send reinforcements. By the 1st of August, the Central Powers had surrounded Perplex and were advancing at an alarming rate.

The Allies took defensive positions around Perplex. So far, only a few infantry units from the Central Powers had tested their luck against the defenders, all were unsuccessful. However, the Central Powers had a trick up their sleeve.

In the morning of the 6th of August 1914, several Central Powers forces attacked Perplex from the rear. But, this was only a distraction from the real attack. About 4 hours later, thousands of mortars and other explosive rounds were fired at the city walls. They fell instantly. A huge attack force of 20,000 soldiers from the Central Powers invaded Perplex. The Allies fought hard, but the massive number of enemy forces overwhelmed them along with the huge barrage of enemy mortars and shrapnel.

Most Allied forces were able to retreat, but many were captured by the Central Powers.

Small rebel forces were surprisingly able to retake Perplex, but it was only a matter of time until a second attack came...
