Victory in the battle of Coa!

As Royal Forces arrive outside the town of Coa Company C and D, 1st Battalion, Royal Rifles Brigade were engaged by a DRA insurgent detachment numbering around 250 armed belligerents. The attack started with a Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) striking the ground near the front of C Company's formation, Major. Thomas J. Wight immediately ordered C Company to fan out and entrench in the irrigation ditch aligning the side of the road and Company D following behind to attempt to flank the DRA force on the hillside. Initially C Company sustained heavy casualties engaging forces with height advantage however Captain. George Carmicheal called in several precise airsrikes on the DRA's hillside positions causing enemy forces to splinter further away from each other allowing D Company to charge the right wing of the enemy detachment fighting a uphill battle. DRA forces were routed after almost 2 hours of fighting. We are saddened to hear the confirmed deaths of twelve valiant soldiers in the battle and many more seriously wounded.
