Immediately after the declaration of war was verified and declared, the Eskaijiani government went into action to ensure they struck first. After spies who pretended to "escape" Eskaijian looked at the Moravijan army and immediately knew it was outdated. The army could barely keep up, still using outdated uniforms, bright colors and sabres. Bolt action rifles if lucky. Near the far northern Russian city of Arkhangelsk (now located in Moravija), the Eskaijiani Reformed Naval Fleets (ERNF) sent 25 Admiral class battleships near the port city and Moravijan soldiers watched helplessly as the grand city was battered down by the devastating artillery from the ships. The ships then began to seal the sea creating a blockade on the Moravijan nation. Troops eventually land where they are met with rifle fire and screaming men with sabres. The ERAF (Eskaijiani Reformed Armed Forces) picked off the outclassed soldiers with ease and took Arkhangelsk. Eskaijiani Diplomats arrive in Moravija allowing peace talks. Casualties listed below Moravijan: 1400 dead, 5000 wounded, 6900 captured Eskaijiani: 140 dead, 200 wounded, 0 captured
