Rangers now sit on the outside of Damascus, hoping to find Assad, and end him. Assad was going to make a speech to the people of Damascus that they would win the uprising. When he would be making the speech in the town square, a sniper would assassinate Assad, and that would signal the Rangers to storm the city and take it from the government. Then, hopefully the rest of the Syrian government would surrender their power to the Kurds, and the war would be over. They were waiting for further news of Prussian assistance to see how much they would involve themselves.
