The modernized well-armed forces of the Greeks would conduct several airstrikes and rocket attacks aganist the outdated ottoman cavalry, massacring many ottomans. Meanwhile, volunteers from patriotic citizens from Greece, Eastern Anatolia and devoured Christians pour in, counteroffensives using mobile troops result in quick, swift counteroffensives sweeping up the enemy, we had expected the intervention by Eskajian, and had set up defensive lines near the city of Nikomedia. Meanwhile, AA make paratrooping especially dangerous, along with the rugged terrain that is a nightmare for any paratrooping forces. In the end of the offensive, a defensive perimeter has been constructed making a new offensive grueling and dangerous.
(For the Eskajian counter, we were able to create an organized tactical retreat back to the prepared defensive lines.) Citizens in the cities have also begun rioting, as they are encouraged on by the rebellion's leader to fight for independence. Thus allowing several bombings to take place against the enemy undetected. Businesses also have begun boycotting Turkish goods and refusing to work with nonchristian Turks and Turkish soldiers.
