56th Fortis Brawl

The 56th Fortis Brawl was the 56th traditional brawl conducted by Fortis onbard the Magna. The lower-ranked legionnaires were pitted against their superiors.

Overview
Set in a forested winter taiga environment, the legion was divided into Blue and Red team.

The Red team consisted of all the Recruits, regulars, weaponeers, adjuncts, and five centurions. The Blue team consisted of the higher-ups, like the veterans, the remaining centurions, and all of the primuses. Red had a superior number of troops, so Blue was given a great advantage in the form of powerful weapons, better equipment, and more strategic positions.

The fight began terribly for Red, as they blindly rushed into the sights of Blue snipers, picking them off one-by-one. In hopes of repelling them, Centurion Culus (a member of Red), attempted sending half their remaining weaponeers to flank the snipers, with the rest of the team providing covering fire. The death of Daniel Kunt caused them to realize the Blue team had infact sneaked up behind their flank, whilst the weaponeers were far ahead. Culus failed to signal to the weaponeers about the enemy advance, leaving them essentially defenseless.

One-by-one, the members of the Red team were taken out. Jordan Trumbald took a Grav Grenade to the face, and Timothy Spock sacrificed himself to save Julio McGill. After realizing that even Charlie Smack, Hannah Idaho and Harry Sneez had fallen, Julio suicide-bombed an enemy sniper, killing them both in the explosion.

Aftermath
With staggering loses, the Red team had ultimately only killed around five percent of Blue team, while Blue had inflicted complete wipeout. The brawl's results were considered to be unjust by many of the losing side, calling the Blue's advantages too powerful.
