Decline in Combat on Zoalja VIII

Hostilites on Zoalja VIII have come to a decline as of 01/20/2013 at 03:52. The conflict has already claimed at least 173 lives and seen the loss of 53 units and facilities.

Battle began 01/20/2013 at 03:12 when battle elements of Amerlain engaged the forces of CavanJL. Skeptics feel this decline in combat may only be temporary and warn against regarding it as a downward trend.

Citizens of Zoalja VIII are equally skeptical as the combat has already claimed countless lives of civilians and wrecked 30 facilities on both sides of the war. The individual colonial governments are anxious to begin the rebuilding process.
