Invasion of Estonia

The invasion of Estonia was the first large scale battle of the first tiberium war. The GDI were under presure to act against Nod terrorists after an attack on the world trade center in Vienna. They recieved intelligence that large numbers of Nod troops were massed in northern Estonia, near Tallinn and immediatly deployed a task force, led by Colonel J.C Carter, to investigate.

Supported by a gunboat, GDI forces managed to land to the west of Nod fortifications and started to clear the area around the beachhead and build up a small base of operations. The next day, GDI forces were attacked by large numbers of Nod troops from further inland and their construction yard was destroyed.

Having fought off the attack, GDI brought in reinforcements and moved further inland, discovering a Nod Tiberium refinery and guessing this was the reason for the large numbers of troops in the area. They managed to capture the base after a large firefight, in which many casualties were sustained by both sides.

The GDI used the captured base to launch attacks into Nod controlled Latvia, eventually capturing it.
