The **First Numidian War**, which lasted from March 6th to March 11th, 2022, was an armed conflict between the African states of Carthage and Numidia, with support from Rome, San Marino, and Northeng.

## Prelude

Prior to the conflict, the Carthaginian Empire, under Empress Amina (Khalifa) remained among the most powerful states in the Western Mediterranean, with the largest navy, and military control over the Balearic Islands as well as Sardinia.

The state of Numidia under Sparks had gained its independence from Carthage during an attempted revolt within Tunisia, which resulted in a strategic Numidian victory. Carthage, looking for revenge for the revolt, as well as the powerhouse of Africa once more.

After gathering allies for weeks, the Carthaginians began their war effort on March 6th, 2022, which was ironically an exact month after the Balearic War.

## Conflict

On March 6th, 2022, Carthage, along with it's allies of Imperium Romanum and San Marino, declared war on Numidia.

### Naval Invasion

The Carthaginian navy, which comprised of *35 Destroyers, 28 Frigates, 8 Corvettes, and 1 CATOBAR Carrier ,* departed from Cagliari and sailed through the strait of Messina to the Tripolitanian Port, the capital of Numidia.

In response, the Numidians fired a barrage of Tomahawk missiles at multiple Carthaginian air, naval, and army installments, reducing the effectiveness of the Carthaginian forces by 1/4, but not seriously crippling Carthage.

Despite having a numerical advantage, lacking naval experience, the Carthaginians failed to capitalize on their initial advantage, and soon the Numidians were able to defeat the Carthaginian naval invasion by the third day after 3 naval battles were fought, in which Carthage won one of them, while Numidia won the rest, while the Carthaginians were able to inflict heavy losses on the Numidians.

The battle left the port of Tripoli ablaze, as the constant fighting had destroyed the port, while the Carthaginians retreated back to Sfax.
