Operation Lefthand Punch is a Moorlander military operation following the events in Ostland. The objective of the conflict is to end the Bassarid-controlled government of Ostland and liberate the country from the Confederacy of the Dispossessed, which has clandestinely seized control and assassinated the Ostlandic Royal Family.

Background

Following the secrets revealed by Operation Phantom, it was revealed that the Bassarids had assassinated King Nikolaus and the Royal Family, in the process replacing him and other high-ranking officials with Bassarid impostors. The ruse extended to all Ostlandic government, resulting in a secretive takeover of Ostland that allowed the Bassarids to exploit their disguise in aid to the Dispossessed. This was especially apparent in the collapse of the District of Moorland and losses sustained in Normark. Following publication of the documents that were obtained, Moorland issued a declaration of war against Ostland, calling on its Raspur Pact allies for assistance. The entirety of the Moorland Armed Forces was mobilized, including reservists.
