Beach Alpha

Time to Aeolus landfall: 2 hours

''Sustained winds of 200mph are tearing at the landscape, and tornadoes touch down haphazardly and trace short paths of devastation before dying. Even aerospace shuttles can no longer handle the winds and those still in the storm begin to go down under the onslaught. The rain has turned the ground into a morass that has bogged down even the lightest tanks, and most aboveground buildings are starting to come apart. ''

''The rebel bunkers have held out so far, but suddenly, a dark, seething line just at the juncture between sea and sky becomes visible through the storm. It grows rapidly as it approaches, becoming a distinct, towering wall of water 143ft in height and carrying numerous ships that failed to make it up the face of the oncoming storm surge. Racing in at 50mph, the wall of water sweeps up vessels that stayed in port and then slams into the ravaged beach, annihilating anything in its path. The rebel bunkers finally begin giving way as some flood as they are submerged or are ripped out of the ground entirely by the storm surge. Of those that do not flood or come loose, several are destroyed as sunken ships caught in the face tumble along the ground, demolishing any bunkers they hit. Troops in these are instantly drowned and crushed. About 75% of the bunkers survive the initial impact of the surge, but as the water races inland, those inside are trapped in their submerged bunkers, which were never designed for this kind of attack.''
