Azshara Highway Skirmish

The Azshara Highway Skirmish was a small conflict between the Hand of the Goddess and the Dominion of the Sun along the goblin-built highway in Azshara. Kaldorei forces, attempting to prevent sin'dorei encroachment, ambushed a convoy carrying siege weaponry as it traveled from the northern terminal to the Mountainfoot Strip Mine.

Battle Report
At approximately twenty-one hundred, Dominion forces assembled within the Ruins of Arkkoran. Following a short briefing, a caravan of goblin transports was assigned and loaded with supplies, and provisions. Six volunteers were chosen to pilot the vehicles while the rest of the contingent provided escort.

When the convoy had traveled a fifth of the route, it was assaulted by a band of Kaldorei aggressors. At first, their attacks were probing. Their first was a frontal assault, which was quickly dispatched by a strong defensive counterattack. The second was a rear attack which nearly crippled one of the transports, but was again repelled by a counterattack. The third, fourth, and fifth assaults came from the air. I observed one of the Kaldorei dropping within the cluttered highway, directly into the middle of our caravan. After using some sort of magic to scatter the defenders, the attackers began focusing their efforts on one transport at a time.

This tactic was repeated in the fourth, fifth, and sixth assaults on the convoy. Due to the surprising nature of the initial confusion from magic and follow-up assault, five of the six transports were lost before Dominion forces were able to affect successful escort to the designated campsite. Once the convoy had been deployed, all soldiers were confirmed accounted for, and wounded were treated for injuries. Supplies were removed from the final transport, and our position outside the rear entrance to the city was established.

Abandoned positions, and siege equipment, were found scattered in the area nearby. These will undoubtedly be captured and repurposed for Dominion use immediately.
