The first wave of Carcassonian bombers inflicted some heavy damage to the targets it hit. However, Britcan's most vital military facilities were kept totally secret and the Carcassonian's hadn't touched them. Several civilian radio and television stations that were a part of the emergency broadcast network were taken offline. Two storage depots that stored older weaponry were decimated. Major instillations such as airports sustained lesser damage due to defensive systems. It was these that had inflicted the casualties on the planes.
The Border defences were left almost unscathed. The defences along the border had been designed to take the full brunt of a Viperian assault. Other than damage to a few of the smaller bunkers that were hit directly Britcan's great wall, as the defences were known, was almost intact. As soon as the barrage stopped the area was swarming with engineers, repairing the defences as best they could.
The ranger divisions landed near a small village in the south of Britoa province. The ranger's parachutes were seen by a handful of local villagers. One of the townspeople attempted to alert the military, only to find that their phones were useless thanks to Carcassonian bombs taking out the cell site. A small group of men, wrongly assuming that it was a Britcani supply drop, ventured out towards the place where the rangers had landed. The group consisted of two reservists armed with submachine guns and a former Army Sergeant with a shotgun.
