At 5:14PM August 8, the invaders came. Nearly 140,000 soldiers flew over the protective fire ring by helicopter and landed on Weimaran soil. Once they landed, however, the Weimarans were ready.

Armed with all the munitions they could muster, the aptly-named 'National Salvation Militia' opened fire on the Zimbabmeian soldiers. Although they picked off a few hundred in their initial salvos, the Weimarans took the brunt of the casualties as the entire batallion was slaughtered.

While New Weimar's finest retreated to regroup, the Zimbabmeians quickly followed suit and took up defensive positions in the northern part of the country just outside the capital city.

Nearly a day passed before the sound of helicopter rotors whirling punctuated the eerie silence that descended on the battlefield. Expecting a new contingent of invaders, the Weimaran resistance rushed to attack. However, these helicopters held no soldiers, they were designed to lure defenders out of the woodwork to their demise. Nearly 2,500 Weimarans died.

Zimbabmei hit the defenders while they were still reeling, destroying both the national gold mine and the Red Cross. In the meantime, troops patrolled the streets looking for remaining resisters. But the Weimarans kept their heads down low, waiting to fight at another time when Lady Luck would be on their side.

In the backalleys of the capital, they tried to rally up more citizens to defend the glorious Weimaran Queendom. Few heeded the call. Nearly all the remaining men, women, and children non-combatants streamed into the main hospital for shelter. The only other building left standing was the Dreikkenstadt but many shunned the national parliament, fearing it was a prime target.

This miscalculation would cost them their lives. The Zimbabmeian Special Forces, now freshly arrived, burst into the hospital and after a series of communication errors, from a population of thousands only three survived the slaughter that followed.

Faced with the total devastation of the country's army and people, the tattered remains of the government of a New Weimar literally up in flames formally surrendered to Zimbabmei at 11:13PM August 9. The Queen has reportedly fled abroad.

Not surprisingly, Congressional Parliament has strongly condemned the invasion calling the "disgusting treatment of civilians on the part of the Zimbabnese" as "totally unacceptable" and "crimes against humanity".

One week now remains for the Zimbabmeians and the Weimarans to come to a formal peace. For without it, New Weimar will automatically be annexed into Zimbabmei and be possibly lost for all time.
