Having created a base of core partners TCE

Course of the War

TWA front

Rock Band

A first strike effort by the NMC, launched at the onset of the conflict. 65 days into the conflict

Operation Firestorm

With the vast bulk of TWA forces either overseas or destroyed in Operation Shadow Realm, the NMC laid bare. To the south Erusea initiated a lightning campaign tasked with quickly occupying their opponents, and disrupting TWA communications and logistics attempts overseas.

The forces began a rapid push overseas as Erusean heavy industry was moved away from the border in what was found to be a needless withdrawl. The northern provinces of Galeony and Angl fell from national jurisdiction as a result.

The United Front

General Stategy

The Strategum of The United Front continued the practices of TCE

War Plan Glàs

With the New Grestin State's defection to NEOCON and fears over the nation acting as a staging point in Kafrica, War Plan Glàs, a strategy against eventual conflict with Grestin was put into action. Early surveys and probing attacks occurred through late January 2083, facing no resistance.

A second phase was put into action in early March as surface craft, now aided by Kroman allies, moved along the nation's eastern coast. This coupled with a naval blockade removed access to New Grestin for the war's duration.

Operation Shady Sands

Z-90 Crusaders fly CAS over Wo'

The Zokesian retaliation for Wo's Order 66 was Operation Shady Sands, to engage the ground forces of Wo' from the air. The opening salvos of the conflict with Wo' began on the morning of March 14, 2083, as 20 Blackout B-100s began making attacks against outlying anti-air batteries. B-100s accounted for 60 ground based gun batteries. A kill rate of 3 targets per aircraft was reported.

Aftermath

Continuation of Conflicts

Shady Sands Continued

Wovian refusal to demilitarise lead to a second wave of air assaults from Zokesia. Force came from 100 Z-90s destroying 3 targets per aircraft. Following the destruction of the ground forces and facing imminent invasion, Wo' agreed to disarm itself.
