BACKGROUND

The second tiberium war started with this small battle in Arizona. nod forces had swiftly attacked phoenix base, overrunning general Tao's forces and besieging the base. Tao managed to send a message for aid to Philadelphia. Soon after, Kane contacted Solomon, threteaning him with his visions of future. Solomon contacted commander McNeil and commanded him to travel to the phoenix base. Solomon supplied McNeil with veteran soldiers in drop pods to further aid in the battle.

FORCE COMPOSITION

The original GDI forces in the Phoenix base consisted of few light infantry patrols, but were destroyed by¨ nod's surprise attack. Commander McNeil was supplied with an infantry platoon in drop pods and a further 2 wolverines and a infantry squad. Additional platoons became available after a barracks was setted up.

Nod attack force was the size of few infantry platoons, consisting mostly of light infantry, but also contained few attack buggies and few cyborg soldiers.

THE BATTLE

Before McNeil's arrival, the Gdi forces at the base had been all but wiped out. Nod was attacking civilian village nearby and the last surviving Gdi soldier was crying out for reinforcements. Luckily, his pleas had been answered, as drop pods descended frrom the sky and a platoon of veteran soldiers poured out to deal with the Nod forces in the village. As McNeil,s forces arrived, they noticed that the rfinery and barracks were destroyed. After some rebuilding, GDI forces split into two and went to hunt out Nod soldiers. 1st group moved to southwest and found a ridge when nod forces started to pour out of it. They were outnumbered by GDI and subsequintly destroyed. Meanwhile the 2nd group moved to northeast and found 2 bridges. The eastern bridge was suddenly demolished by a meteor storm so they moved trough the northern one, clearing Nod forces and destroying the small base at the other side. With that done, the area had been secured.

AFTERMATH

The phoenix base had been saved, but general Tao had been captured and executed by Vega. Revenge would be made to the Nod base that attacked the phoenix base.
