The '''Grasslands Gambit''', also known as the '''DGP-Gang Shi War''' or '''Post-Nut Clarity War''',<ref>2023 December War name by [[Lodish]] https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mTh7C5JRvdgXMVyPpy8gyytbCYtGlJ520x55Knyq0ko/edit#gid=54211360</ref> was a war on [[CivMC]] fought from 8 December 2023 to 12 December 2023. It was initiated with a surprise attack by [[Icenia]] and [[Yoahtl]], allied with one another in the [[Dawn Guard Pact]], as well as the eponymous [[Fastestgrass]] and some non-Civ players, against [[Gang Shi]] on the 8th December 2023 in response to leaks from the Gang Shi Discord that implied Gang Shi intended to eventually go to war with Icenia and Yoahtl in order to establish dominance over the server.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/18dkxm7/pearled_harbor/</ref> The Grasslands Gambit remains one of the most decisive victories on CivMC to date and ushered in a new era on CivMC.
 
The war opened on 8th December with a joint Icenian-Yoahtlan surprise attack on the Black Mesa pearl holding vault, disabling it via groups obtained by Grassland insider [[Antea4204]], with over 75,000 blocks of the vault ctr'd over. Early the next day, Icenians [[Skybridge|skybridged]] to the Florence bunker, eventually disabling it, while also obstructing a Gang Shi iceroad. Late on 9th December, Gang Shi launched a massive, five-hour long, and eventually vain attack on Altepetl that ultimately ended with the Gang Shi attack bunker disabled, 10 Gang Shi fighters pearled throughout the campaign, and ultimately one defender killed (not pearled). A skirmish between Gang Shi forces and Icenians in Icenia City on 11 December ended in one Gang Shi fighter pearled. The war ended on 12 December upon the insiding of Gang Shi and [[Butternut]] by [[ComradeNick]], relinquishing control of both nation's defensive infrastructure to the Dawn Guard Pact.
