After a period of relative stability of the frontlines, the FLL and her satellites begin a large wave of ambushes and hit-and runs, threatening to or fully isolating Aldranian forces, connecting many rebel exclaves. This offensive threatens to cut off the Aldranians in Laurentian core territory from supply, which would be disastrous for a conventional force, to say the least. Limited movements occur in the Elevian side of the conflict, as to encourage negotiation and buy time to solidify fronts. Aldranian and Elevian public support for the war is below the floor, as the casualty rate is staggering, caused by very poor strategic choices.
