Battle of Chicago

Battle of Chicago
The battle began in the late afternoon, hours before dusk, on November 22nd, 2056. With it, came one of the most combined operations of the Brotherhood of Nod between the Third and Fourth Tiberium Wars. For this, Gideon had been collecting support from the other branches of the Brotherhood. Intended to be a masterstroke attack, it was not only aimed as vengeance for the embarrassment of Seo Thoki's introductory speech, but also for GDI's renewed drive into the Yellow Zones. The reasons, however, were not just personal. Since the beginning of Treasury-led pushes, the Brotherhood of Nod had been forced back time and again, winning tactical victories but on the strategic retreat as an organization. Chicago was one of a series of attempts by the Brotherhood to turn the tide and stem GDI advances.
Chicago had been an isolated outpost since its construction. Still, with the massive investments made throughout the second four year plan, it had grown into a significant complex of defensive lines, with one of the largest single garrisons anywhere in North America. An entire division of the Ground Forces, two regiments of ZOCOM, and a battalion of Steel Talons, plus four squadrons of Apollos and a further two of Firehawks have turned the city into a particularly tough nut to crack. However, Gideon had not come unprepared. While estimations of his total strength are difficult to assay, he seems to have brought everything that could be spared, bringing a disparate arsenal together for a single strike.
Forward elements of Gideon's forces met GDI roughly forty kilometers south of Chicago, with two squadrons of buggies exchanging mostly ineffectual fire with a platoon of GDI light forces on the edges of the ruins of the old town. As the reconnaissance platoon broke north for the defensive lines, they were covered by mobile artillery from other Initiative formations south of the city. While the fire was desulatory and, for the most part, ineffective due to both a limited supply of shells and the few tubes available, it thickened as the fight closed towards the operational bases in the city.
While that was the first contact, actions began along a nearly 150 kilometer arc, reaching from the north of the MARV hub to the city's southern end. Rather than focusing attacks on any particular location, Gideon's forces drove along a broad front, attempting to use their seemingly superior numbers to isolate and overwhelm GDI units deployed forward of the main defensive lines. Across the battlefield, GDI forces typically chose to disengage as best they could and fell back repeatedly, especially on the eastern end of the battle line, whereby early afternoon, the Initiative had been pushed back to the primary defensive line, where Nod forces were decimated by presighted artillery, shells raining down and with 152mm batteries in use as the direct fire guns they were initially designed to be. However, directly to the west, GDI held firm.
The most general conflict of the day was a mere ten kilometers south of the city. A battalion of ZOCOM armored infantry had been conducting reconnaissance in force south of the city when the battle began and chose to conduct a slow fighting retreat, rather than attempting to break north. Amid the ruins, a close quarters brawl developed as both sides' infantry fought not only street to street, but sometimes building to building and even room by room. As Initiative forces fell back, a drumbeat of mortar volleys and a constant stream of danger close missions by Firehawks pulverized building after building. While on either flank, GDI pulled back, the isolated battalion fought on, holding a salient against the worst that Nod could throw at them. Finally, in the early evening, confessor cabals of the White Lions Chapel of the Black Hand attempted an assault across the beaten ground towards the salient. Under fire from the battered Zone Troopers, they crossed the ruins, particle beams clashing with railgun rounds and grenades. Flamethrowers reached out as they hit the line, but the outpouring of fire was too much, and they broke, leaving roughly half their number dead and dying amidst the ruins.
As night fell, however, the fighting slowed. Sporadic bursts of fire raged out, and the roar of jets crisscrossing the sky was constant. Medics moved up on both sides, collecting the wounded that had not been carried rearward during the day's fighting. Similarly, Shadow Teams used the cover of night to attempt infiltrations into the Initiative's line for exploitation. By morning, both sides had dug in, ready for a slogging battle through the streets. Gideon had used the cover of darkness and the opportunity to set up a series of disruptor towers, allowing him to bring forward his heavy forces undisturbed. While the core of this force was three dozen Centurion combat walkers, he had found another resource. Monsters. Mutated amalgams of flesh and steel and circuitry lumbered forward, blazing away with integrated laser and kinetic systems. Compared to the Marked of Kane, these were slow and dumb, blunt instruments of war to be unleashed into Initiative lines, rather than high tech cyborgs. Unleashed into a frontal assault, east of the salient, they punched through the forward elements of GDI's main defensive line as they were unequipped, materially or otherwise, to deal with anything resembling the Marked. The time these forward elements brought, however, allowed for the main line to be prepared and here, these biomechanical monstrosities broke against the hailstorm of missiles and grenades brought to bear. They would prove nearly adequate.
At the same time, the Initiative had not been passively waiting. Concentrating the armored and available mechanized forces in the MARV hub, GDI's commanders were ready to stage their counterattack. Striking forth at dawn, they hit Gideon's line on the opposite side of his own assault. While initial attacks bogged down as GDI attempted to force a series of foxholes, trenches, and nests, by 1030, the momentum had turned, and the Initiative had begun to force a breakout, with units splitting between pushing into the rear areas, and supporting assets, including another battalion of ZOCOM, beginning to roll up the line as company by company the Initiative went on the offensive.
However, Gideon's forces were not without competent commanders. Instead of attempting to hold in the face of Initiative advances, they began a brilliantly executed fighting retreat, with even the militants fighting with a skill that the Initiative would expect of its own troops, rather than half trained militia. Over the course of the day, the Brotherhood attempted a series of mousetraps using fast moving flying wedges to cover slower formations of infantry and armor. While none worked as well as Gideon could have hoped, they did slow the pursuit, and allowed Gideon's forces to break away effectively unscathed.
Overall, in light of the coming conflicts, the battle of Chicago was relatively minor. However, it does mark a continuation of the conflicts that had begun in South America, and reflected the desperation of "the Short Darkness" period of the Brotherhood.
After the battle, and after all the losses were tallied, came the most honorable tradition of blame apportioning.
We took the brunt of it. My man on the field, Farnham Carmichael (Ret.), had been in Chicago trying to decipher the rhyme and reason to the first signs of the super-submarine Falak's appearances. It behooves me here to say that the reason is that for all of our reputation, InOps is not always the panopticon to make Orwell spin in his grave. For all that Granger– the Doctor, not Director– had been willing to turn on the money valve from his Tiberium crusade, our problems have been time. To train a serviceable Operative outside the Blue Zone, to be proactive and intercept threats outside places where we have eyes and ears on every wall and ceiling, is to train a talent to last for generations. I will not be like my disgruntled peers and say that he is to blame for the teething issues against a massed offense on NOD, but I will say that there were issues. Issues that meant that there were chinks in our armours aplenty. Not that the NOD could know where they were.
We had thought the Falak had been made to interdict our vessels. Or to be as NOD does, and inflict surprise death-strokes against GDI positions with esoteric and fantastical weapons of war and destruction. They would be capable of those, but what we had missed was the obvious. A submarine larger than any previously recorded would have a proportionally large hold. That first vessel had travelled far– if it were the first, that is– with its signatures touching the coastlines of all NOD territories. Carmichael had been tasked to track the Falak. And his fault was that he didn't discover the anomalies sooner. That a large portion of the signatures intermittently showed up on the coast of Florida was not a coincidence. Gideon had called in markers, as we learned soon enough. He had tried to hide it, with his alarmingly organized retreats, but Carmichael and his team had been the quicker carrions and dragged off the bodies of the NOD dead, human and not back to the laboratories. And what we found was something left classified until this very writing.
The more mundane of his called markers were men. NOD Warlords, as is their wont, have Davids to their Uriahs. The bodies of the dead shows haplogroup markers from regions all across the world, from the so-called Berber Markers (E-M81) prevalent in North Africa to the H-M69 marker, most commonly found in India. The significance of this cannot be understated. Gideon had reach, and he had used it to recruit chaffs and talents for his use. Years later, we found that these men had been not even that 'expensive' for Gideon to take. Their cost were marginal, to the utility and talent they bring to him.
But the most significant are the inhuman. Dubbed the Afanc-class Bioweapons, it had been one of the main threats that Gideon introduced in the Battle of Chicago. The InOps had released their specs on the third-to-last major FOIA requests from the government watchdogs, so I will be brief. They were tough accounting for their frames. Body shapes and sizes had varied armament, most typically an array of laser weapons, however, though the most common had crocodilian frames. Their carapaces are unnaturally tough, a latticework of Tiberium and alloyed metal tough enough to require sustained autocannon fire to bring down. Their weapons were mostly externally expressed, with autocannons and laser weapons that were occasionally remote-operated. Others had internalized weapons, with laser-emitters emplaced within their maws that fires beams with enough width to bisect your average soldiers. The rest of the specs can be read in full- but that was the broad summary of it.
Except for one bit. Their DNA traces belonged to an amalgam of species not native to the Americas. The common pattern, as the matter of fact, belonged to Crocodylus palustris, the mugger crocodiles native to India. It was here that we first learned of the true danger the subcontinent had in store, but that's a tale for another time. For the time being though, the attack on Chicago signified two things. That in a full press assault, we will always prevail against the might of one major Warlord. But the second is that even in the absence of Kane's direct hand, and after all the well poisoning we did with General Hassan, the Warlords have shown cooperation in a worldwide manner. From the Afanc, the proliferation of Barghests, to even the Falak– it is a hallmark that NOD has as much capacity as us to innovate.

Editor's Note: Pretty sure we're still not allowed to divulge about Hassan. That one isn't supposed to be declassified until 2090, no?
Writer's Note: Eh, I worked with him. Let this pass through, see what the new InOps had to say for it.

Shame we couldn't pin Gideon down but chasing him off is good enough. This was supposed to be his big win and turning it into a tactical GDI victory is not going to look good for him.
Strategically it's at best a draw because of the clean getaway though, he made us burn limited supplies that were probably earmarked for offensives on defending Chicago instead. The broader YZ offensives he was trying to retaliate against are getting the wind taken out of their sails pretty quickly.

....oh wow, i'm glad the battle went relatively well for us but i'm already dreading the next update.
Those Cybernetic Bioweapons are going to have everyone screaming at GDI to assault India ASAP to prevent something like CABAL from happening again.
I personally don't think thats whats happening here (merely a cell getting heavily invested into the biotech side of the tech tree) but the Firestorm Crisis is the first thing thats going to come to a lot of peoples minds when their hear about Cyborg creatures attacking.

Simple, we need to do more deployments of the tech we have developed so that we can continue contesting the brotherhood, we should be looking at once again most free dice on mil.

Kinda suprised they can get anything useful from this. With the whole tiberium refugees thing, as well as decades of migration, one would expect these kind of genetic markers to be entirely useless.
yah we should focus mainly in mil then space then a tiny amount on housing until the next plan basically because the military need all the support they can get
Also the fact that a semi united effort by nod across the world to hurt gdi failed shows how better the gdi mil has become

It also serves to demistfiy NOD a lot. They used everything here including their new Wunderweapons and got rebuffed without achieving any objectives. Yeah it'll probably slow down GDI pushes, but now we know what they have. Defensive is kinda playing to our advantage anyway.
India gets spookier by the day, but honestly the increasingly obvious hints that there's some serious shit going down in India make me even more hesitant to poke Colombo/Karachi before we're ready. If the Indian branch of the Brotherhood is a high level boss we're going to want to show up with appropriate gear.
The navy is particularly far behind the curve, being on low confidence still and having the longest lead times on new equipment. Can't invade India without a decent stock of cruisers and new carriers and probably a new line of amphibious assault ships or frigates or something. And even if we started all that tomorrow it would be years before enough hulls were actually in the water. It's kinda worrying.

India sounds fun. We should go there for vacation.
In all sersiousmess it sounds like NODs true weakness is being worked at. They are interacting with each other again. That bodes ill.
NOD having a complete catalogue of its techs is problematic, but it sounds like Kane put his hand down. No more being naughty, beat GDI instead of each orher.

Gogo OSRCT, I guess? Give spacebros the infrastructure they need to meaningfully help out.
OSRCTs would definitely help pretty much everywhere, and they would definitely help in a hypothetical invasion of India. They're like paratroopers on crack except also an armored unit. But until we have dozens of them on station they're ultimately a tactical ace in the hole for critical battles, not a way to invade India on their own. Any serious presence on the subcontinent is going to need to be supplied over the ocean and supported by our dominance of the coastline and airspace.
So maybe Colombo specifically actually would be a good idea after a few more cruisers are in the water, as long as we focus solely on securing the island as our local toehold and trying to get naval dominance over the area. No adventures on the mainland yet, I don't think we're close to ready for that.

Also going to need some an anti sub design/heavy torpedo's to deal with NOD's super subs if they are now being used as a primary means of transportation.
Just destroying one would do a lot of damage to both their forces and supply chain going by how big they are.
Wish we'd of realized sooner though, they are probably using the Subs heavily right now to prevent our Apollo's and Firehawks interrupting their logistics.

No way. Our base of operations is largely intact, Gideon needed to call in a lot of markers for this attack to even go through, and he has very little to show for it. The whole point of this battle was that it was launched and fought over such a short span GDI couldn't come down on it in all of it's heavy metal. The battle lasted for ~2 days. Maybe not including the fighting retreat. There's simply no way such localized fighting, for such a short amount of time depleted a meaningful amount of resources in the entire North American theater.
Gideon pooled resources from around the world, partially burnt the reveal of NOD's strategic lift capacity, made a grand gesture of being the first Warlord to really set back GDI, and only burned one defense hub's local resources. He pissed in the wind and got a crappy shower for his trouble, a tie this ain't.

We are not going into that hornet's nest anytime soon.
10 mil dice per turn for a few turns would help us catch up a lot i think
We also really need to work at shell factories. I know it's an important project nestled among a million other important projects, but making sure artillery support availability is always yes would help us hold the ground we've taken, both from strengthening field units and allowing us more fortress towns
also osrcts, cause we can eventually drop mechs on people with them
