Recent flyovers of the battlespace have revealed major developments in the ongoing campaign for (Ant) Hill 34z.
As of three days ago, a combined force of engineers and combat troops had effected considerable repair of the perimeter, with defenses-in-depth against attacks of opportunity by Raven- and Lagomorph-class heavies. The straight section up and left contains airspace-denial assets to respond to Quail attacks up to battalion strength. The small satellite mound at ten o’clock is believed to be a synthetic-aperture phased debris array.

A flyover performed early today reveals much destructive activity. Analysis suggests a staged multipronged attack by various belligerents operating in concert.
Analysts believe that the start of battle was at local midnight, when a formation of first-rate Lagomorph battleships stood offshore in line ahead, then directed multiple naval-rifle broadsides at Hill 34z.
Their witheringly accurate fire was probably spotted and directed by a squad of Ground Squirrel light scout cavalry that had staked out a concealed observation position.
With defenses heavily engaged, the next phase of battle was brought by several regiments of Quail fresh out of overhaul. 242nd Division “Bunny Busters” was not equipped for this scenario, and it was attrited to below unit cohesion.

Despite severe damage to the entire fortification, this office is confident that the defenders of Hill 34z will rapidly repair and enlarge the structure. Long-term success will likely depend on two factors, excluding Acts of Car.
1) While the engineer corps remains fully effective, combat divisions have been heavily drawn down by the unexpected violence of enemy engagements thus far. Indirect indications suggest that a vigorous replacement effort is under way, with H. M.’s staff under emergency larva-restocking rules.
2) The surrounding region did not fare well in terms of seasonal materiel production. While procurement teams are actively securing available resources, this sustained battle and construction tempo might not be sustainable unless strategic reserves are deeper than our admittedly imprecise estimates indicate.
The site is slated for continuing assignment of aerial reconnaissance assets.
