Thanks @f3nix! :D I didn't have much time to research the military details so I figured it would be better to fast forward to the end of the battle and focus on the outcome. I had a lot of fun with the scene, but I always worry when I write dialogue as to whether it will sound authentic. I'm happy to know it worked out in this case! :) Thanks so much for the feedback, and thank you for the fun event! The Finish The Story Contest is always a good time.
