Earlier today the Dinos launched an attack on the Bolitic battlefleet approaching Pulsin. Both sides suffered heavy losses from the battle though the Bolitic were able to get into Pulsin orbit and land 4 divisions of heavy troops on the far side of the planet. The Dinos are sending 2 legions across the planet to battle them though have a shortage of transport equipment because of the losses in the battle (and the dual role of most Dinomarks).
The Bolitic employed most of their Reptoli Tuuls in the battle and this caused the Dinos some serious problems including badly damaging the Dinomark RS MBH was conducting the battle from which had to withdraw. The Dinos, once they were able to work out how to counter the RT's energy weapons, were able to counterattack after initially being pushed back. However the Bolitic were able to get into orbit, a brief attack was made on the capital Pulsinopolis but this was a feint as most Bolitic efforts were involved in building a bridgehead elsewhere.
35 Bolitic warships are reported to have been lost: 19 Snarl, 6 Reptoli Tuul, 2 Helwin and the rest Meltinan. Some troop carrying ships were also destroyed. 52 Dinomarks have been reported lost: 12 PT, 4 NG and 36 XT. A number on both sides have also been damaged.
The war has only just started though as the Bolitic are maintaining forces in orbit over their landing troops and it is understood by the Dinos that 6 more divisions are waiting to be bought in. The Dinos will be aiming to prevent that.
