Challenge #1 - The Battle for Gradford (September 25th, 19XX)
The Year is 19XX: In the Isolated reaches of the Pacific Ocean, the island of Writian, has experienced nearly two weeks of disarray as the two super powers that tried to control the strategic island have declared war on one enough. The Freelancer Federation and The United Dramatist Union broke out into violence, declaring war on each other thirteen days ago. Both are equally powerful in manpower and guns, so it will require creative tactics for one nation to conquer the other and whoever is the deviceful of them all, will remain dominate over the Island.
So who will win? Only Time can Tell...
