Battle of Hill 253.5

The Battle of Hill 253.5 was a conflict during the era of White Horse's military interventions. During that time, White Horse was frequently called upon to deal with the University. Tired of the endless cat and mouse game White Horse command devised a plan to deal the technophile cult a crippling blow.

Reconnaissance located what was believed to be an underground complex belonging to the University, the exterior portion of the compound situated on what was dubbed “Hill 253.5”. Organizing a large joint assault, White Horse attacked the facility in the predawn hours.

However, what initial surveys had failed to identify was that the complex also served as the University’s primary weapons laboratory and housed thousands of its war machines. The resulting battle was a slaughter on both sides, the University eventually emerging victorious. Having suffered horrendous casualties White Horse retreated, leaving the facility alone for almost six months.

When they did return it was with a vengeance: the entire 30th Armored Brigade launching a full attack on the hill. The University struggled to defend its compound with the same strategies that had worked six months ago but the White Horse commanders had learned from their previous blunder and ultimately annihilated the defenders.
