Zahner Offensive

The Zahner Offensive was a series of attacks and deep penetrations by the Crown Alliance into the Goetic Empire from southwestern Ovancia during the Grand Campaigns. The offensive began on 4 February 1924, coinciding with the expansion of the Goetic Revolution — a communist civil war in Goetia that had begun to be planned and materially supported by the Crown Alliance beginning in 1922. The Goetic Army, by early 1924 completely surrounded and navally blockaded by Crown Alliance and republican forces, were stretched thin. The Zahner Offensive ultimately resulted in the defeat of the Goetic Army in its most heavily populated areas, the exile of the Goetic royal family to Alva, and a Red Collective victory against loyalists and liberal revolutionaries in Goetia.
