Decline in Combat on Verdte VIII

Hostilites on Verdte VIII have come to a decline as of 01/19/2013 at 22:53. The conflict has already claimed at least 3 lives and seen the loss of 3 units and facilities.

Battle began 01/19/2013 at 22:52 when battle elements of Buster engaged the forces of BAMF. Skeptics feel this decline in combat may only be temporary and warn against regarding it as a downward trend.

Citizens of Verdte VIII are equally skeptical as the combat has already claimed countless lives of civilians and wrecked 3 facilities on both sides of the war. The individual colonial governments are anxious to begin the rebuilding process.
