The initial rocket bombardment was devastating. The Army's positions had been abandoned. But though the Air Force's aircraft were obsolete and grounded, it's air defense network was intact. Radar stations, SAM sites, and triple-A emplacements were hit hard and took casualties. Soon, Crotobaltislavonia was blind in the Western Sector. Also taking casualties were the Border Guards and refugees. Men, women, and children who were in the wrong place at the wrong time were wounded, maimed, or killed by rockets falling short or bombs going off target.
With the Eastern Front imperative, Crotobaltislavonia's only modern armored brigade, along with two infantry brigades, had been close to Trivodnia to "support" the disastrous Militia attack, quite far from Bourgogne. In the last forty-eight hours, these units had received their marching orders and moved closer to Banja Luka to join two other two infantry brigades and supporting units in defending the capital and its now all-important airport. The western half of Crotobaltislavonia had been occupied by four light infantry brigades with only one stationed on the border with Bourgogne. The others had been scattered around west and south of Banja Luka on internal security operations. Like their brethen in the east, these units had recently moved closer to the capital to take cover under the capital's air defense umbrella, to support the Kadikistani air-bridge, and to mount stay-behind operations if necessary.
In effect, large portions of the country, including the border with Bourgogne, were defended only by minimally armed Border Guards, local police, and ad hoc volunteer units of old men and boys.
