Superior F.N.U. forces have overrun Phantom Leagues’s high-economy Ally (the big city
with red flag to the right), pushing the defenders all the way back to a plateau on the territory
of another Phantom League’s Ally (the left-hand city). F.N.U. keeps supplying new troops
form their base high in the mountains (you can see a couple of green flags) far away.
The narrow path to the plateau is a favorable defense position, and the Phantom League will
hold it for a while, especially considering the fact that they have preserved a couple
of long-range Annihilators (Rocket Launchers).
Moreover, the Phantom League did not want to just sit on the plateau and wait -
instead they managed to recruit some Naval Transports and a bunch of assault
units (such as Ostriches, Bio-T’s) in other parts of the world, plus they
picked up one of the defending Annihilators - and move all that impressive landing
party along both shores of the continent. The landing was shocking for the F.N.U. - their
supply route was immediately cut. One Land Transport full of troops was even
destroyed before it could unload and a couple of vulnerable Rocket Launchers were
also demolished on the march (you can see those two explosions). And in addition to
this disaster, the F.N.U.’s control over the previously conquered high-economy country was blocked
and revenue collection interrupted.
Well, it does not automatically mean that Phantom League will immediately become
victorious - the F.N.U. will most probably stop recruiting defenseless
Land Transports in the mountains, but will switch to Tanks and Heavy Bots trying to
overrun the landed enemy contingent - and it’s gonna be a tough fight anyway. Plus,
F.N.U. can also postpone their previous plans of the direct assault of the plateau - they
may turn their main force back to squeeze the intruders.
