1993 Battle of New York

The 1993 Battle of New York was a major battle fought in the United States of the 1993 Pridelander American War. Pridelander, Great Nick Jr. Republic, Libyan and Iraqi forces on the East Coast have been scattered by the US Armed Forces, forcing the Pridelanders and their new allies to make their last stand in the United States in New York City, where heavy fighting occurred as the Pridelanders and their new allies attempted to consolidate their hold onto the East Coast.

Date: August 30, 1993 to September 4, 1993

Build Up
After the invasions and enslavements of the United States, Canada and Mexico on August 30th, 1993 during Order 66 of 1993 and several major battles and anti-Pridelander uprisings that followed., U.S. forces had held onto most of the Eastern Seaboard, and had pushed the remaining Pridelander, Great Nick Jr. Republic, Libyan and Iraqi forces back into New York City. However, they were unable to take the city because of Pridelander jamming platforms, which neutralized American air support and communications, enabling the Pridelanders and their new allies to hold the city. As the battles raged, much of the city was damaged and the Pridelanders and their allies managed to occupy and take control of South Manhattan and Midtown. Several passages into the city including the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel were destroyed and rendered inaccessible, killing many civilians in the process. The Great Pridelander Federation Navy, the Korean People's Navy and the People's Liberation Army Navy also had full control of the Hudson River, with several American naval vessels including the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Oda Nobunaga slightly damaged in battle against the Pridelanders and their allies. With the U.S. Army and the U.S. Marines rapidly losing ground in the city, a desperate counterattack was launched to deny the Pridelanders and their allies their strategic advantage.

Battle
In New York, the U.S. Armed Forces had been attempting to take the Pridelander military's last standing stronghold in Manhattan, but the Pridelanders quickly set up a large jammer on top of the New York Stock Exchange with the help of the Korean People's Army and the Great Nick Jr. Republic Army, blocking all American radio signals and missile guidance systems. Overlord asks for any special mission units and finds a Delta Force team, call sign Metal in Bennett Field. He assigns them to take out the jamming tower on the NYSE in order to regain air support to destroy all enemy targets. After U.S. Army Rangers and Delta Force assaulted the Pridelander/Korean People's Army fortifications on Wall Street and successfully fought through to the Stock Exchange, they dismantled the jammer, restoring communications and allowing their allies across the city to call in fire support on enemy positions. Pridelander and Great Nick Jr. Republic air support was swiftly routed in Lower Manhattan and thousands of elite F-15 Eagles flew in and were able to destroy most enemy positions in the area, regaining air superiority and reestablishing control of the city. The remaining Pridelander, Libyan, Iraqi and Great Nick Jr. Republic forces were then forced back to the coast.

An elite Korean People's Navy Oscar II submarine, which was the Pridelanders' command vessel, had orders to level the Eastern Seaboard with its payload of cruise missiles if the Pridelanders and their allies were forced back into the sea. Overlord quickly took action by deploying U.S. Navy SEALs and Team Metal to take control of the submarine and use its payload against the Pridelander, Libyan, Iraqi and Great Nick Jr. Republic fleets still in the harbor. After fighting for and taking control of the submarine, Sandman and Frost input the coordinates provided by Overlord and fired the missiles, which hit the enemy fleet, destroying any large Pridelander threat remaining in the city and its vicinity. With their last stronghold on American soil destroyed, the Pridelander lines collapsed across the East Coast as American reinforcements regrouped and proceeded to lay waste to the remaining stragglers in the city.

End of the Battle

 * "All-friendly call-signs - we are no longer on the defensive. I repeat - consolidate and counterattack."
 * — Overlord

With the jamming sensor destroyed atop of the New York Stock Exchange along with other jamming sensors scattered around Manhattan, and the destruction of several Pridelander, Libyan, Iraqi and Great Nick Jr. Republic warships in the harbor by the hijacked Oscar-II submarine, US forces regrouped and began to push Pridelander, Libyan, Iraqi and Great Nick Jr. Republic forces out of Manhattan and the Eastern Coast, eventually wiping out the fleeing Great Pridelander Federation, Libyan, Iraqi and Great Nick Jr. Republic forces.

New York City itself suffered heavily from the battle, with much of Lower Manhattan and its boroughs in ruins. However, the majority of the city survived, as did most of its major landmarks in spite of the severe intensity of the prolonged engagement.
