Hedge Base

Myrtle Base #6, known as "Hedge Base", is the 6th base in Myrtle Sector. It became a vital location in the Green counterattack of the Tan Invasion of Greentoria.

Base Layout
Hedge Base highly populated with jungle foliage. Therefore, there are plenty of spots to hide and ambush enemies. Small rows of barbed wire fences, pillboxes, and barricades are randomly spread throughout the base. The main compound is a huge interconnecting trench system, leading to vast underground storage rooms and barracks, along with an enormous double story blockhouse overlooking the area. The blockhouse is used as the main command post of the base.

Known History
Hedge Base has been primarily used as a storage facility for units operating in Myrtle Sector.

Hedge was the first base farthest inland to fall to the Tans, during the Tanolia-Green War, upon their Invasion of Greentoria. It was conquered by Major Windsor's Viking Company, 10th Tan "Warrior" Armored Division, during the Tan's spearhead into Myrtle Sector. After Viking Company had assisted Calvary Company in establishing a beachhead on the Myrtle shore, General Dune ordered Windsor to assault Hedge Base farther inland, while Calvary Company assaulted Marader's Base (later renamed Guerilla Base) in the Feldgrau Mountains. During the Tan spearhead, Hedge Base garrisoned a small Green company commanded by Colonel Fern.

Major Windsor's Viking Company took the base within a few hours, suffering light casualties. Windsor advised General Dune that Viking Company should continue moving to the next target, Claymore Base in the southwest of Myrtle, before the Greens build up strength for a counterattack. However, Field Marshal Tannenberg ordered Dune to keep Viking Company resting in Hedge, while the elite 101st Guards were assigned to Claymore. The Green Field Marshal Phthalo sent reinforcements to Myrtle Sector immediately, to aid General Dartmouth's failing 1st Green "Hard Nosed" Infantry Division. Trojan Company was brought in, commanded by veteran Green Captain Macabre.

Captain Macabre, and his adjutant Sergeant Stalwart, led a counterattack against Hedge, backed up by a few armored units. Viking Company attempted to hold the base but were quickly subdued by the Greens. Major Windsor and a few Tans retreated to the rear while Captain Macabre's company executed Tan prisoners. Windsor called in reinforcements from Calvary Company and, in a botched attempt, the Tans could not retake Hedge. All of Viking Company, with an exception to Major Windsor, were killed in Hedge Base.

Hedge Base became the garrison for Trojan Company. This caused General Dune to pull his forces back to the Feldgrau Mountains.
