AFTERMATH<br />

The FedCom forces were crushed under a wave <strong>of</strong> Ghost Regiment units and forced to leave their<br />

defensive positions in the city. The Combine advance was halted only after Marshal Cunningham called in<br />

the Fifth Davion Guard for support.<br />

The stalled <strong>of</strong>fensive was only temporary though. When the technologically superior Ghost<br />

Regiments pressed, the Third FedCom fell apart. As a last resort Marshal Cunningham and the remaining<br />

Davion Guard barricaded themselves inside the Xantal Military Reservation content to wait out the DCMS who<br />

had begun to grow short on supplies.<br />

Reinforcements never came though. Instead, withdrawal orders arrived on 14 October.<br />

ADDITIONAL HOOKS<br />

While the Ghost Regiments took the glory, the surviving Shin Legion did a lot <strong>of</strong> the leg work. They<br />

holed themselves up in the mountains using harsh winter conditions to survive constant harassment by the<br />

Third FedCom RCT. Those units are a footnote in the liberation <strong>of</strong> Sadalbari.<br />

The siege <strong>of</strong> Xantal presents some interesting side plots. Prior to their retreat from Sadalbari the<br />

staggered AFFS forces made a vain attempt to destroy three Dropships full <strong>of</strong> supplies that they had hastily<br />

left behind during their retreat to Xantal.<br />
