Operation Taiti Freedom

Overview
On May 11th, 2007, Great Pwnage declared war on the African rogue Federation of Helgha, in defense of close ally Taiti.

While this war was a strategic victory for Great Pwnage, the inexperience of their Generals became apparent as a war that should have been swift and one-sided became deadly, with Great Pwnage losing more soldiers despite the obvious strength gap. Many within the nation considered the war to be a pyrrhic victory, coming at too high a cost for marginal gains.
