Decline in Combat on Bean

Hostilites on Bean have come to a decline as of 08/15/2016 at 12:23. The conflict has already claimed at least 32 lives and seen the loss of 32 units and facilities.

Battle began 08/15/2016 at 11:58 when battle elements of Amerlain engaged the forces of Pirates. Skeptics feel this decline in combat may only be temporary and warn against regarding it as a downward trend.

Citizens of Bean are equally skeptical as the combat has already claimed countless lives of civilians and wrecked 31 facilities on both sides of the war. The individual colonial governments are anxious to begin the rebuilding process.
