Sacking of Wünenburg
The sacking of Wünenburg, Niccadia was a retaliatory assault on the city as pay back for the destruction being brought to Tynica by Operation Wheat From Chaff. The navy felt crushing the Reds production capabilities would strain and weaken them, instead of a brutal head on conflict in Tynica that the navy was not sure their land forces could win against the Red Army given they are small militia forces loyal to the Monarchy against the majority of the national army of the Woodangees. Taking out the largest port under Red control and primary manfaturing center in the country was decided to be a more practical way to slowly eat away at the Reds ability to continue the war.
