⚠️ Superseded Detail — Discarded, Not Canon
This conversation's account of the war-ending offensive dated it May 31, 1987. A more detailed account from a different conversation (conversations-001.json #19, "Continent Topography and Climate") placed the same offensive on March 15, 1987 ("the Ides of March"), with substantially richer tactical detail. By creator decision, March 15, 1987 is now the sole canonical date — this page's May 31 date is discarded and preserved here only as a record of the original (superseded) source material. The offensive's high-level shape from this conversation (the 3-million-troop amphibious assault on the Desert Empire's western coast, Jonas personally leading an armored assault from Kila Vas, and Allied air/space forces destroying Desert Empire industrial and space capacity) was retained and merged into the canonical account — see The Ides of March Offensive: World War 3's Endgame (1979-1987).
