In Tarsia, Northbury's naval invasion of the Asken Islands ends disastrously due to a mix of bad weather and the fierce defense, as well as the counteroffensives not meeting expectations, but by FAR exceeding any casualty estimate they made due to fortification. The Southern UMARian front still struggles, as the UMARians are outnumbered in the western flank, while on equal standing in the east. The UMARian Northern Counteroffensive also breaks due to casualties, as the dug in Rajans prove an extremely fierce defense, with the arrival of Akvilans helping strengthen the frontline Rajan's fighting morale and vigor. Aronda captures an undefended island completely uncontested.
