In the early hours of the night, on December 5, the first conflict broke out in '''#🚜-main-chat-🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜'''. Lasting several minutes, hundreds, if not thousands of stickers were deployed. After reportedly being fired at by '''Loyalist''' troops with '''explosive pregnancy ammunition''', '''Revolutionary''' leader general '''Charter''' returned fire.<ref name=":3">According to an official report published by the '''Revolutionary leadership'''.</ref> The battle soon escalated as commanding officer '''Sam,''' siding with the '''Loyalists''', ordered for reinforcements to be deployed, overwhelmed by the '''rebels'''. The '''rebels''', although small in number, compensated with their incredibly high rate of fire, challenging the '''Loyalist''' troops. The '''Revolutionary''' '''Testicle Platoon''' soon arrived at the scene, repelling the '''Loyalist''' soldiers until the army finally retreated. | In the early hours of the night, on December 5, the first conflict broke out in '''#🚜-main-chat-🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜'''.

Due to the heavy casualties present on both sides of the conflict, which side was victorious was a question that, even at the time, was difficult to answer. Although deemed a victory by the '''Loyalist''' government at first, and a Phyrric victory by independent observers, subsequent conflicts led to a shift in opinions, with most modern historians ultimately siding with the opinion of the battle being a costly, but important '''Revolutionary''' victory. | ||

Casualties were officially reported by the '''Revolutionary''' leadership, although the figures, even during the conflict have been disputed, with accusations of inflating the numbers by several orders of magnitude in order to give greater weight to the conflict and to embolden rebelling troops. While official figures cite more than 7.500 casualties on both sides, liberal estimates have placed the true number to around 7. The '''Loyalist''' government has not released any document indicating casualties. | ||
Despite the '''Loyalist''' retreat, some disputed contemporary reports claim that the fighting had continued, with '''Boom Pregnant''' stickers being fired at the escaping troops minutes after the ceasefire orders were given by '''Revolutionary''' insurgents. '''Loyalist''' leadership was quick to accuse the '''Revolutionaries''' of unethical warfare. These claims were disputed by the '''Revolutionary''' leadership, which did not deny the casualties, but stated that general '''Charter'''<nowiki/>'s weapon trigger had jammed and continued firing.<ref name=":2" /> As of 2024, the '''International Criminal Court''' is still in the process of investigation, following international calls for prosecution on the basis of charges of potential war crimes. | Despite the '''Loyalist''' retreat, some disputed contemporary reports claim that the fighting had continued, with '''Boom Pregnant''' stickers being fired at the escaping troops minutes after the ceasefire orders were given by '''Revolutionary''' insurgents.
