The Battle of Falkirk

On the suspicion that the tier 7 city of Falkirk was the base of operations for the Highland Guard, troops of the 3rd UNEF assaulted the city on February 25th, 2150. The assault began at 8AM and dragged on late into the evening, when at last resistance dissipated. 178 UN soldiers had been killed, while the Highland Guard lost 200 men, and 25 more were captured. 27 civilians were killed in the fighting.

Aftermath
After the Battle of Falkirk, the Governor of Falkirk claims he was not informed of the UN's intention to assault his city. He is then arrested for "aiding and abetting" the Highland Guard. This starts a week of riots in the city that result in a further 122 UN casualties and 355 civilians. Martial law is instated.
