Siege of Houston
On July 12, SPQM launched a siege against the town of Houston — one of America’s largest towns, home to over 40 members and led by Georgeat4k.
At 8:00 AM, RomanDiCario planted a banner on the outskirts of Houston. Although the defenders were stationed inside the town ready to defend, they were caught off guard when RomanDiCario deployed a large squad of mercenaries from Spain and the Crimean Federation.
The defenders were chased out from the banner and into the stone walls of the city - many of them were locked in house to house combat after the mercenaries broke in and started a masacre
Six additional battle sessions followed, during which SPQM maintained dominance across the battlefield. However, the momentum shifted when a wave of bans struck SPQM’s allies: Tobikoer, leader of Spain, and Hyrax from the Crimean Federation were both banned. As a result, SPQM’s team suffered a significant setback, losing 12,000 points — a severe blow to Roman’s side in the war.
Nonetheless, SPQM persevered. After seven more battle sessions, they ultimately secured victory on July 13 through a relentless blitzkrieg in Houston’s residential districts. The assault resulted in heavy casualties, with numerous civilians killed
Aftermath
The fall of Houston was a massive symbolic blow to the USA. Its loss not only broke a key defensive line in the South but triggered the defection of several towns that no longer believed in the USA’s ability to protect them.
