Prelude
In the Jungles of Suriname, Red Amongus and Big Chungus were gaining power over the armies of the Taco Republic (present day southern Suriname) until they grew so powerful, they both basically controlled foreign policies, to protect the Taco Republic from attacks from Portugal and the Netherlands, they both wanted to seek protection from a bigger country, Red Amongus suggested Britain, Big Chungus suggested Russia. Since they could not agree, they raised armies and sought to take the strategically vital Big Chungus Mountain.

Initial moves
Red Amongus set up camp on the southern side of the mountain and found that Big Chungus had already fortified himself on the mountain

Red Amongus decided to use the elite Wagner group to storm Chungus forces at the foot of the mountains, covered by the sipaliwini militia, the Wagner group succeeded in this objective, suffering 6 soldiers wounded and the sipaliwini militia suffered 11 dead and 20 wounded, while Big Chungus’ forces suffered almost 200 dead and wounded, however, when Red Amongus tried to advance further, he was met with a Viet-Cong ambush and a charge by the free Amongus army armed with potato cannons, Red Amongus’s forces withdrew suffering many concussions, the captured Pro-British soldiers were impaled by Big Chungus.
