Battle of Shamrock Lakes

the Battle of Shamrock Lakes (also known as the Christmas Insurrection in portions of the Midwest) was a battle fought between the Peoples Militia for Hoosier Freedom (with some Indiana Armed Division Wing members) on the outskirts of Hartford City, Indiana, near the small town of Shamrock Lakes. It was fought on the morning of December 25, 2018...thus giving it the name of the Christmas Insurrection to some. Due to the sheer number of Hoosier fighters, it would become the PMHF's only victory against the aliens until the Toledo Uprising in March 2019. A earlier insurrection two weeks prior, the Hartford City Uprising, which also involved Shamrock Lakes, was a humiliating defeat for the PMHF. Shamrock Lakes would fall to alien forces again on December 28, 2018, as the PMHF was not able to establish much control over the area.
