Operation Ironclad

Operation Ironclad
Operation Ironclad is an operation commenced by The Brotherhood weeks after they left the UNKNOWN Trading Company that involved the annexation of parts of mordor, the westerlands and the midlands.

Step 1:
The first step of the annexation of the northern midlands began with the institution of using Crymoore as a location to meet people for trades. After The Brotherhood made multiple successful trades, the town was claimed as Brotherhood Territory. Following was the annexation of Frostbain. Frostbain was disputed on whether or not it is held by The Brotherhood or the UNKNOWN Trading Company. After no presence by the UNKNOWN Trading Company The Brotherhood was able to secure the location. The Brotherhood also claimed Lost Woods Shrine as Brotherhood Territory in key deployment zone for step 2.

Step 2:
The second step of Operation Ironclad consisted of the annexation of the Crowmure region (Crowmure, Sanctuary of Peace and Crowmure farm (previously known as Giant's Farm). Early westerlands patrols weren't very sucessful due to a lack of depth striders. It should be noted that these patrols initially started as midlands patrols and then later turned into westerlands patrols. After securing Frostbain however, westerlands patrols were quite frequent, and quite successful. The Brotherhood had no strong oposition in the region. The UNKNOWN Trading Company which claims to hold Crowmure held no successful combat operations during the second step of Operation Ironclad. It should however be noted that the UNKNOWN Trading Company did have one major successful battle in the region days before the start of the second step. Just days before The Brotherhood's declaration of war against the UNKOWN Trading Company the second and final step of Operation Ironclad was completed.
