At around 14:05 hours today, the Erusian air force launched a daylight bombing raid on Newfield Island in what seems to be a move towards brining the war to North Point and the possibility of Erusian plans to over take the country. As reported yesterday, ISAF was already at a very high state of alert after what were considered aggressive moves by the Erusians in the Comona Islands and near Newfield. Six bombers along with escorting fighters took off from Rigley air base, a former ISAF facility on the Usea mainland, in an attempt to cripple one of ISAF’s only bases that stands between North Point and the mainland.

Though the attack on the city and Allenfort air base resulted in minor damage,there was no loss of life to anyone one the ground. But the Erusains paid dearly for their long range sortie and lost all six of their bombers as well as the escorting fighters, thanks to the efforts of the newly formed ISAF squadron Mobius, they managed to gain total air superiority over Newfield with no losses to the squadron. Credit also needs to go to the AWACS aircraft known as Sky Eye for it’s aid to Mobius squadron, Sky Eye is an E-767 radar plane that is permanently assigned to Mobius squadron and will play a vital role in any further actions.

ISAF commander Robert Taylor was pleased with the efforts and stated that plans were in the making to re-take the mainland once a sizeable force could be put together and equipment replenished. Though ISAF gained a victory over Newfield today, they were not so lucky in other areas where the Erusain had also attacked. Commander Taylor also went on to mention that this raid though targeted at Newfield, wasn’t just isolated to this area alone. Radio intercept’s picked up from Sky Eye indicated that the real goal of the mission was to attack military bases and facilities on North Point and that this was only a stepping stone in what looks like a two stage attack.
