Paran's attack on Dhimar's Najahafi oilfields

[Spinners 15,986]

The Battle of France that began on May 10th, 1940 gave Shah Mushani of Paran the perfect opportunity to invade the Kingdom of Dhimar without interference from France and the United Kingdom who were now massively distracted by the war on the western front. Despite this distraction, Shah Mushani waited until the Italian invasion of France on June 10th to launch an all-out attack on Dhimar led by his trusted General Halani Khomar.

Supported by the Parani Army Air Force, Khomar's 1st and 2nd Armoured Divisions swept north and west reaching Najahafi on June 14th. Flying from the P2 forward airfield the Parani Army Air Force's Mitsubishi Ki-15P monoplane scout bombers were particularly effective, being considerably faster than the Dhimari Gloster Gladiator fighters and able to deliver their relatively light 250kg bomb load with great accuracy. It was only the introduction of ex-RAF Hawker Hurricane Mk.I's in Dhimari service in October 1940 that saw the Parani Ki-15P's require fighter escort.
