The East PacificBoard

Over a week of blackouts in Silvamar had seen several battles overshawdowed or lost to history because of the lack of communication with anybody. This has actually been detrimental to the RoU, as the force was still very dependent on the internet for communication or recruitment. Even though the revolution has grown, organization was still poor, and not having power assisted the RoU's losses in the majority of battles that took place during the largest blackout the nation had ever seen.

As electricians still tried to fix the power issues, news outlets would rarely report on most occurrences, even if they were just simple things like temperature. Citizens were unaware of anything happening in the country, and would only get their necessary information from rumours from those in their social circles. A difficult time for everybody, even the army.

Luckily for the revolution in some ways, however, was that thousands of soldiers were still in Paumelidás, or in surrounding regions. This saw old styles of communication come back into play, for example, letters were regularly sent to other places just to get a simple message around. All this eventually culminated in one meeting, with most generals of the revolutionary army along with many of its high ranking officials meeting up in a major military base deep in rebel-occupied Grumús, a town of 27 thousand people around 50km away from Paumelidás. The meeting saw major generals take part, Promìto, Lorgasçim, and several others. Of course the leader of the rebellion, Elias Garcovixa, was there too. Where he laid out his hopes for the rest of the war.

Using the blackouts as another bit of reasoning, Garcovixa expressed that the conflict must end soon. The major power grids having been taken down obviously affected the revolutionaries massively, but so too the people. Because of this, Elias said that they should do something about the militias responsible for the powercuts. If the RoU was able to make it seem as though the other insurgent groups were dealt with by them, rather than the government, it could possibly bring even more people to their side, as they'd show how they could do a better job than the government at dealing with criminals. Outside of that, the plans of how to deal with the rest of the country became the main talking point.

As said previously, Elias has been showing that he is extremely hopeful for an end to the war that comes soon. The revolution is gaining members slowly, and not quickly enough to sustain their trigger-happy strategy that has run the campaign so far. And with that, the revolution is expecting to start losing ground soon, as its done with no power, according to Garcovixa. So, the leader of the army has proposed a plan.

ㅤㅤㅤStage One: Preparation
The revolution's first step of three consists with just gathering enough soldiers for a new assault on another major city, or two. The revolutionaries would be travelling to both capitals, Barasèlô and Marcanova. The armies would most likely be travelling to these cities through the large, more uninhabited parts of the Silvestran countryside, avoiding major cities to make sure no clashes that could warn the government about an incoming invasion from their adversaries. To make sure that the groups would not cause any major trouble when being transported, most of them would go through diverse paths, or one after the other, eventually leading to the construction of small camps for the revolutionary army to rest in as they waited for the fight.
A gigantic skirmish is soon to come- with Garcovixa ordering to bring at least ⅗ of the entire army, meaning around 300 thousand soldiers to attack both cities. In order to make it work, every army would be split into smaller divisions of around 10 thousand soldiers each, with the more populated regions of the city having more divisions defending it. Every division would be split down further, with every one general having three "colonels (I'm not sure what term to use here)" serving them, all of which would have over 3,000 soldiers. This is to make sure that the armies getting to close to eachother wouldn't be an issue as seen in other battles, and also making sure that there'd be hundreds of soldiers in every street, making sure that the territories occupied would stay so.

ㅤㅤㅤStage Two: Gathering and border
As the divisions start getting closer together as more of the two cities gets put under rebel control, many divisions will begin to mix up to create larger divisions of similar sizes to go for the national government's premises. As more soldiers would probably begin to come into the fight on the nationalist side, the divisions would now split into seperate groups whenever necessary. In this case, the infantry would be put right at the front of the fight, with artillery being far enough away from receiving any serious damage. The divisions would split like this and also into rears, with each side bringing a new front for the government to deal with. A tactic similar to that of the ones used by Promìto in previous battles would once again be brought to the table. The tactic of just running towards the enemy and decimating the lines. The risk this runs, besides just losing everybody, is its predictability. Since this tactic has been seen first hand by the nationalists before, the plan B is to completely encricle the lines, allowing artillery to take them down if the rebellion is not able to. If the government predicts Promìto's charge tactic, there may also be the risk of having to deal with more nationalist fighters. So, along with artillery, bomber planes will finally be put into use.
Finally, possibly the most important part of this stage, taking over the ports. Taking over the Barasèlan and Marcanovan ports will restrict the government's travel quite the lot, allowing for the rebels to take control without as much struggle. The fight will be intense, and if necessary bombing will be in effect for this part of the stage, but it will hopefully be useful to the revolution. If by this point the revolution is yet to have been defeated, we move on to stage three.

ㅤㅤㅤStage Three: Charge
The final assault in the Marcanovan and Barasèlan government buildings. As both cities have their respective government establishments near the coast, making sure that ports are under revolutionary control will most likely be essential. For this final attack, there won't be any hesitance like there was for Paumelidás. The rebels may take a bit to rest, and then do everything they can to clear out each city's government buildings. If any high ranking government officials are seen, they are to be murdered on sight, and anyone else in the area is to be held hostage. No mercy for anybody. If there's any chance of it, Limarola and his vice president are also to be killed if spotted. No one is safe at this point. When the buildings are officially under the revolution's control, the Garcovixa will declare victory, ordering all those on his side to hunt for all congressmen or Limarola cabinet members, including the man himself. Whenever the opposition is deemed neutralized, Garcovixa will proclaim the new government of Silvamar in the capital of Barasèlô, drafting a new constitution with his cabinet.

A crazy plan, however, generals know that if necessary, they may do what they must to help the revolution win. If a new republic they can get, a new republic they will have. In their eyes, a government for their people. But, deep in the mind of Garcovixa, a government for the loyal.
