Hello, this is Charlie Fingers coming to you from North Africa, in the care
of and on the request of Ares Macrotech, where a radical development in the
Desert Wars phenomenon has just taken place.
But first a word from our sponsor...
+++++adds
Well, we're back. Today, after a grueling three week campaign between
Aztechnology and Desert Wars newcomer Maxim Arms, Maxim Arms was declared the
total victor. This came after a week of real-fire combat between these two
corporate armies.
As per standard Desert Wars "rules," the two combatants, to minimize
casualties and loss to equipment, are supposed to maintain limited, simulated
combat, with the effectiveness of various weapon systems simulated in the
combat zone. In this spirit, the two corporations of Aztechnology and Maxim
Arms faught for two weeks and 2 days with neither side gaining any real
advantage over the other. This went against all the expert's predictions of
a rapid defeat of Maxim, perhaps even in the first 4 days, which would have
been a record time.
Unfortunately, on the third day of the third week of combat, Aztechnology
appears to have decided that they had had enough of the upstarts, and that
they needed to be put in their place. The beginning of that day's combat
saw the first live-fire combat for three years. The re-arming of Aztechnology
units was done under total secrecy, so it is unknown how the Maxim Arms units
were able to know of the re-arming and come out also fully combat ready.
The units of Ares Macrotech, sent in originally to separate the armed
Aztechnology units from the "unarmed" Maxim units, were rapidly withdrawn
when it became apparent that neither side was at a signifigant disadvantage.
After three days, 7 hours, and 26 minutes, the battle was declared won by
the Corporate Court in Maxim Arms' favor. Both corporations are scheduled
to appear before the Court next week to plead thier cases.
Related to this is the recent rash of sabotage at Maxim Arms and Aztechnology
facilities worldwide. Although the Court's decisions are confidential, it is
likely that they will order Aztechnology to, in addition to letting the
Desert Wars decision stand, pay Maxim Arms for the loss of equipment and
personel, an inside source has told us.
It is intersting to note that Maxim Arms' units inflicted 76% casualties on
Aztechnology units while only recieving a 43% casualty rate themselves.
This has been Charlie Fingers...
