In the southmost island of UMAR, where its capital is located, ULS troops have begun to march in, having caught many UMARians by suprise due to the betrayal, but dug in due to storms that would bog down offensives due to the increasing mud. Some new fronts open as Akvila prepares to defend her colonies. Meanwhile in the north, Rajan troops dig in and defend against UMARian invaders, cutting many down with entrenched gunfire. In Tarsia, the ULS has made a pre-emptive strike into Northbury.
