### First Day of the War

#### Night

Both the Peacekeepers and the Coalition began to mobilise their troops. The Peacekeepers divided their forces into three groups: an Elite Division, a Luxembourgish Division, and a final group with their remaining troops. Most of their forces were deployed at Fort Władwyk in the south of Poland, while Luxembourger Blux remained on the home front in Luxembourg, Scornish Hollow in Iberus, Occitan Vladwick in Fort Visoko in Bosnia, and Cretan H1p0 in Crete. The Coalition decided to concentrate their troops in the Dacian capital, Sarmizegetusa Regia, with only Creeperlord in Macedon, and Chrisb, King of Danskia deployed at Potatoist City due to his promise to defend the Holy City of Potatoism.

#### Morning

As the sun rose, the Luxembourger army left Fort Władwyk and marched along the Dacian border to redeploy in Bosnia. Technical Towny issues delayed their entry into the fort, but this was eventually settled. For a long time, both sides remained in an uneasy standoff as neither made the first move to leave their forts. Creeperlord left Macedon to reinforce Dacia's position at Sarmizegetusa as Nicator and BaggierGuide joined the Hellenic Front. In Iberus, Scornish leaders OnMacbook and Alces rallied their strength to join the frontlines while Hollow prepared to enter the Nether.

#### Afternoon

As the standoff continued, H1p0 decisively left Crete and sailed northwards on the Aegean, marking the first advance in the war. Hollow, now in the Nether, initiated his infiltrator role of the Hastings Plan. In the main war theatre in Dacia, both sides yelled war slogans towards each other, but neither left their fort yet, except for Occitan Summerium who slowly advanced into Potatoist City land. Just as Nicator left Macedon to join the Coalition at Sarmizegetusa and BaggierGuide patrolled the south Macedonian border, H1P0 made a landing in the Gulf of Pella, and continued north to New Plovdiv.

Then, Hollow arrived in Victoria, and finding no resistance, commenced to siege its main fort, the Sudbury Factory. Victorian Noorullah, stationed in Dacia, quickly noticed and alerted the Coalition forces. This was the signal for the Peacekeepers to begin their offensive. Vladwick declared the commencement of the Hastings Plan, and almost immediately, the Luxembourger division left Visoko and the troops in Fort Władwyk left the fort to surround Dacia in a pincer move. OnMacbook and Alces, arriving at Spawn through the nether, quickly joined the battlelines.

#### Evening

As the sun set, the Peacekeeper's elite division, using their extra speed, was the first to make contact with Coalition forces in Sarmizegetusa. Using hit-and-run tactics, they surrounded the Dacian capital to catch their enemy's attention, only to circle around them and run towards Potatoist City. As this happened, regular troops from Fort Władwyk were collapsing on Potatoist City from the north, with Summerium, Drakengard, and Alces at the vanguard. The Luxembourger army approached the holy city from the south. OnMacbook left the advance to initiate a new offensive against the Dacian capital, where he was succesful in striking the first kill of the war against BaggierGuide. Danskian Chris, the only defender at Potatoist City, was quickly overrun by an army over ten times larger. Meanwhile, H1p0 arrived at Fort Thrace and began to siege it unopposed, and Bapo geared up in Frisia to join the Peacekeepers' forces. As all this happened, the Coalition remained steadfastly fortified in Sarmizegetusa.

By the early hours of the night, the siege of Victoria was concluded, effectively removing Victorian forces from the war. The Coalition had suffered a major setback before any serious blood was spilt. Hollow redeployed to Luxembourg, and through the nether, to Safinim, where he made his way to the frontlines across the Adriatic. Alces joined OnMacbook on his offensive, challenging the entrenched Coalition troops in Sarmizegetusa while Potatoist City was besieged.

### Second Day of the War

#### Night

The Battle of Sarmizegetusa began as Coalition forces challenge Alces and OnMacbook trying to break through their Fort's walls. The Coalition suffered heavy losses due to their inferior equipment and reduced military strength, with Nukealt, Tandem, and Braden dying in quick succession. The Elite Peacekeeper's vanguard succeeded in storming the fort in Sarmizegetusa and breaking enemy beds.

Luxembourg's army took charge of sieging Potatoist City, finally killing Chris, while members of the elite and regular divisions of the peacekeepers regrouped at Fort Władwyk. Most of these then joined the battlefield in the Dacian capital, but Luxembourg remained in Potatoist City and hunted down defeated Coalition straddlers trying to reach Dacia from Spawn.

Fort Thrace fell to the Cretans, and H1p0 led an offensive southwest across the Aegean into Athens. Vladwick, realising that the Coalition was in no position to threaten Visoko, initiated his own offensive towards Greece, first leaving boats in Albania in case of a Peacekeepers' retreat.

Italian AceAcery joined the Peacekeepers' war effort by gearing up in Milan and Frisian Bapo ran east through Germany to reach the frontlines.

After being slain in Sarmizegetusa, IlPolloMagico respawns in occupied Victoria and begins the siege to liberate it.

#### Morning

At Sarmizegetusa, Creeperlord was slain as the battle intensified. However, the Coalition defeated its first enemy in killing KainPathosCrow. Nonetheless, they still struggled against the Peacekeeper's storming of the fort; Creeperlord is slain again, followed by SuperSimo and Nukealt, and later Braden and King Dodolulupepe. Nukealt returned to the Dacian Capital but was killed again. The Coalition took further losses when BaggierGuide, Braden and Giant Isopod were killed. Around this time, the Luxembourger army joined the front in Sarmizegetusa, further complicating the Dacian's situation. Earl Enzo faced off Victorian General Noorullah in a duel before his army came to support him. By late morning, King Vodaman was slain, and at around noon, HiperLucario.

In Macedon, AceAcery rallied with H1p0 as Nicator arrived to contest them; the fromer then decide to proceed north to New Plovdiv leaving the defender behind. Meanwhile, Vladwick arrived in Hellenic Crete and started besieging its fort.

In returning from spawn, Creeperlord bypassed enemy lines and attempted to lay siege to Fort Władwyk, but was intercepted and killed by Amyee who left the Sarmizegetusa front. Bapo finally arrived in Potatoist City and began intercepting Coalition forces running from Spawn to Dacia. Among those he killed were King Vodaman. To his south, SuperSimo, having evaded the blockade, began to resiege the Potatoist Star Fort with the help of the recently returned Danskian Chris. BaggierGuide, having also evaded the blockade, went south to Albania, passing through Visoko.

In the western theatre of the war, IlPolloMagico liberated Victoria and then invaded Luxembourg and began to siege it, hoping to remove the powerful Luxembourg army from the war effort.

#### Afternoon

King Dodolulupepe is slain again in the Dacian capital.
