The Third Battle of Annatown was the last major battle of the Second Lauchenoirian Civil War and lasted fourteen days. Much of the battle took place close to Annatown International Airport on the outskirts of Annatown, Lauchenoiria. Due to heavy torrential rain, which began several days into the battle, most of the battlefield became a so-called "mud pit", trapping most Coalition soldiers in the depression until Gonhogian forces abandoned their position just before the ceasefire was called to allow for peace negotiations.
Events[edit | edit source]
In the early hours of the morning of the 10th August, Coalition forces began to approach Annatown[2], a city which had been held by Gonhog since early in the war. The following day, the Gonhogians appeared to retreat into the city, only to stage a successful counterattack against Coalition forces[3]. By mid-morning on August 12, Gonhogian forces appeared to surround the Coalition[4]. By August 23, the relentless fighting combined with torrential rain had produced a 'mud pit' in which most of the Coalition force was trapped[5]. On August 25, the Gonhogians abandoned their position, allowing around 9,000 Coalition soldiers to escape[6].
Aftermath[edit | edit source]
Approximately a quarter of all Coalition troops were killed in the battle. Weather conditions during the battle led to a number of medical complications in survivors including pneumonia. Damage done to the airport meant that it could not be used for several years after the battle, despite attempts to fix damage earlier. Much of the city of Annatown was destroyed even a year later due to the several battles which took place there[7]. Food prices in the city were high, with numerous citizens living in temporary accommodation for several years following the conclusion of the war. Aid workers from Shuell provided services in the city throughout 2019 and 2020.
