Ambush at Oasis Inn

After the UFA cut off Eurasian access to airports and the port of Soyo, thereby removing their ability to get new troops or supplies, the next segment of Operation Cetshwayo was to retake the major cities under their control. With almost all of Zambia and the DRC under Eurasian control, over 100 million people were suffering, most of these concentrated in major cities such as Kinshasa, Bumba, Lubumbashi, and Lusaka. The UFA knew that winning the war in the people’s minds was almost as important as actually defeating the Eurasians in battle, and so liberating the people in these cities would be vital in obtaining their support. Scouts were sent in to gather intelligence on where the highest concentration of Eurasians were in these cities, and where they were residing, as no bases had been constructed in the cities. Once this was known, these areas were targeted, giving maximum loses to the Eurasians while keeping most civilians out of harm’s way.

 

With our successful capture of the port city of Soyo, we had then been sent into Central Africa, on our way to Kinshasa. Our new objective was to take out the Eurasians in this major city, freeing the people. Intelligence had reported that the main concentration of Eurasian soldiers in Kinshasa were residing at a place called Oasis Inn. It sounded like a pretty nice place, one I definitely wouldn’t have minded stay at in different times. Too bad after we were through it wouldn’t be so nice, with bullet holes and dead Eurasians everywhere… Guess I’ll have to wait to come back till after the war…

Another build from me! You'll see at least one more scene from me in the next few days for this contest. Like the last one, I'm quite happy with how this turned out. It took me a long time to get a photo I liked, mostly because of those palm trees which I loved what they added but they made it a lot harder to find a good angle. I'm really happy with how the buildings in the back turned out, especially the gray one, though unfortunately because of the vertical shot you can't really see them too well. I'll be posting some detail pictures of this on my Instagram at some point.
