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.

==Continuation of the War==
=== Day Two Attacks ===
On the morning of December 9th, a squad of Icenian fighters began a skybridge over the Florence bunker located south of Whole Foods, believing it was a staging ground for an attack against the farming complex. A watercubing operation was briefly interrupted by the arrival of [[XxTBxX3276]], [[UghBraces]], [[loo_wee_gee]], and [[7Joshhh]], but ultimately continued and was later augmented by a bombing operation on the 10th, firmly disabling Florence from being used. The Florence bunker was discovered to have been commanded by [[chosentwicelol]], at the time of its disabling.<ref>https://civwiki.news/newsletter/newsletter-12-11-2023/</ref>
In accordance with the "Day Two" portion of the First Strike plan, Yoahtlan fighters targeted two key Gang Shi iceroads that passed through their territory and disabled them deteriorating Gang Shi's ability to travel to MtA and Asguard.[[File:DGP-propaganda.png|thumb|[[Dawn Guard Pact|DGP]] Propaganda by [[MechanicalRift]] depicting [[Gang Shi]] as a threat to buildfriend nations such as [[Pavia]], [[Nara]], [[Mercutio]], and others.]]

=== Icenia City
At around 2am on December 11th, chosentwicelol and [[Squilliam]] appeared in Icenia city. They briefly attempted to raid various shops around the city by breaking into them, but were largely unsuccessful due to the proliferation of relay chests. After Shadno, [[Jaimiemie]], and [[Raeders]] moved in, there was a fight at Jah Park which resulted in Squilliam being knocked into a foot grinder and subsequently pearled, with
