Preparations
The Federal Army and Republican NAvy had spent the past three months building up its forces at its bases on the mainland and at East Cowes in preparation for the assualt and the Republican Air Force had spent the last sixth months preparing for its first ever combat operations. The Defender attack aircraft were loaded up with heavy weapons while the Zepplin RAS Tornado was loaded up with the Republics entire supply of cannonballs that would be droped from altitude and destroy enemy forces. The Federal Army also deployed its entire mechanised force to Hastings in preparation for the assualt.

The assualt began in a lightning style as the RN's hovercraft stormed over the coasts of England into West Sussex and established a perimiter around the city of chichester. Infantry forces from Worthing then followed the RN hovercraft into the areas and encountered light resistance from armed civilians. The FA soon located a posible center of resistance from captured insurgents, they called a Defender strike on the area and soon FA forces pacified the first major center of resistance. With the blockade around Chichester in place by 1PM the Mechanised Brigade in Hastings departed for thier target in Battle.

However they encountered much stronger resistance than their partners in West Sussex and soon the assualt began to stall Ironicly this was at the same place as the original Battle of Hastings and soon fierce resistance came up in the vilage itself and the RAF had to conduct a strike on the histroic Battle Abby.
