First ISA War

== First ISA War ==
The First ISA War was the first armed conflict between Izakia and the Inner Sphere Alliance, that took place between October and December of 2017. ISA was going on a tear throughout the rest of the game, winning numerous battles, wars, and skirmishes with many groups leading up to this war. The highly aggressive ISA decided to invade Izakia, the first time Izakia would fight a major power since the FMC Patriotic War. 
== Initial Battles ==
ISA initiated conflict on October of 2017, when multiple members of ISA bombed Izakian fortifications on Cereal Box with no warning. Multiple members of Izakia were building new tanks and aircraft as the bombing commenced. ISA had initial success at the start of the conflict due to the element of surprise, and their armored mechs having a decisive advantage over Izakian armored units. The first few battles were ISA victories as they used their mechs and bombers to subdue Izakia's heavily motorized army that followed outdated doctrine from the FMC Patriotic War. 
== Doctrine adaptation ==
ISA's advantage, while large at the start, was countered within a few days into the war. The war reached its apex on October 28-29th, when ISA fully committed itself to its offensive against Izakia. However, the Izakian Army by that point created a doctrine specifically designed against ISA's tactics. Instead of light fast tanks, heavy turrets and naval vessels took the battlefield, and shredded through ISA's armored mechs. This led to ISA using heavy bombers to counter Izakian turrets and naval vessels, which had a moderate degree of success. By the time the battle on October 29th ended, Izakia held a firm advantage over ISA. 
== Battle of the 29th ==
October 29th was the largest battle during the First ISA War. This was when ISA reached its highest point of aggression, and Izakia finalized its Anti-ISA doctrine. The result was ISA and IZK engaging in a battle with everything they had. ISA began the battle with its armored mech being sent to the front, but it ran straight into Izakian turrets that shredded the mech. Without their mech, the battle turned into a battle of armored vehicles and tanks. Izakia held the firm advantage over ISA in this field, and their doctrine worked perfectly as it forced ISA to fight against Izakia with their tanks and aircraft. The result was ISA's tanks being slaughtered. The Battle of the 29th was Izakia's peak against ISA in 2017, as Zhukovs and Sturnikov 120's decimated the inferior ISA tanks. Rocket artillery was also used extensively by Izakia, hundreds of rockets would be fired at ISA armored columns with devastating effect. 
== Stagnation ==
Following The Battle of the 29th, the war was reduced drastically in scale. Small skirmishes took place into December of 2017, but it was way smaller than the battles that took place in October. 
== Peace Treaty ==
The First ISA War was over when a peace treaty was signed in December. The terms of the treaty was as follows: Izakia kept its occupation of Cereal Box, and ISA would continue its military conflicts elsewhere, while avoiding any interference with Izakia. A non-agression pact would be signed between ISA and IZK, with the hopes of avoiding another massive conflict. 
== Did the treaty work? ==
Fuck no
