The 203rd Infantry Brigade of the Dino Army has been almost wiped out by the new Bolitic weapon on Pulsin. The brigade had been pushing up closer to the line following an unsuccessful breakout attempt by the Bolitic when it came in range of the weapon (which the Dinos now think is some sort of beam weapon operated from a fixed point). Because of the geography the brigade was unable to withdraw quickly. Of the 6133 listed strength of the brigade it is estimated 5872 have been killed either directly by the weapon or in the desperate stampede to escape.
The Dinos launched a heavy air raid on the Bolitic bridgehead in an attempt to knock out the weapon but have no idea what it looks like or where it is. Two Dinomark XTs and 18 K-18s were shot down after an intense 5 hour series of bombing raids. Following the end of the raids the weapon, which the Dinos have termed the ash-cannon for now, was used again destroying an artillery battery.
