(Sorry.) TURN ORDER: PATRIA -> VENICE -> CATALONIA ケケケケケケケケケケケケケケケケケ [FRONT: PUNCTURE THE SUN] Intelligence revealing Frankea's allowance of the Italians to apply some form of pressure by orbital weapon was to be disrupted ASAP. Drones in-orbit were to locate, pass by, catch, and inject deconstructive nanites and liquidating rootkits that'd deactivate the orbitals. These 'Kessier Nanites' would be stockpiled and primarily manufactured offworld in Gazebo. Regardless, Patria's own enmass orbital bombardment stockpile continued its 12/7 constant requiem upon the supply lines and the UGVs Catalonia is attempting to deploy through them. As a consequence, the Italian Fake Soldiers are mostly a failure, as the orbital bombardment specifically targets infrastructure within Urban civilian centers, supply line vehicles, and important logistical hubs. While post-hoc reconstruction will take much time to engage in, with estimates of damage at the end of the war coming in to the range of the late hundreds of billions. [FRONT: FACIENS MARE NOSTRUM] The failure of the Montenegro landings was a reasonable estimate to an otherwise unimportant front; Patria's navy, still holding the blockade of the entire western Mediterranean high through an overwhelming constant of drones and ships patrolling and cycling throughout would ensure. Naval gunfire and simple heavy aggression would help to keep the Balkans at bay. Now dial this up by 5 everywhere else. Consistent with the overwhelming force philosophy Patria has been apply in it's doctrine of warfare. Assurance of complete Naval dominance continues. [FRONT: BRIDGECROSSER] In earnest, the front has begun to stall. Whilst offensives into the Catalonian mountains and landings rerouted deeper to get to Zaragoza have been supplied with the per usual absurd pushes and morale, Zala'iyan rhetoric and conflicts in chain of command has been clashing with the recently unified divisions into weakening the overall pushes into Catalonia. Whilst still incredibly skilled and absolutely able to dig in and strike fast and hard, they were not gaining as much as promised to the Military Command. Italy had no such problem. Despite being actually semi-prepared, the ideologically zealous neapolitans translated their fascist aseity into brutalizing the northern republic. In response to the rapid deconstruction of infrastructure, the airforce has become focused on increasing the bombing numbers of Italian cities. Being able to effectively pummel the backline as much as they wanted, Patria would entrap the italian soldiers between the line of bombs and shellings of their habitats shredded into pieces through intentional forest fires and landslides (that would be carbon captured for later use!). Attempts would be made to evacuate the civilian population of occupied territories to ensure their safety, though local revolts and resistance would need more force than necessary. Regardless, Advances were launched inward, attempting to splinter and use the mountain routes to read into Rome, which was under bombardment. Meeting into eachother, the two landing divisions would use the chance to ruin, encircle, and eventually eliminate Italy's chances of comeback. An additional HEMP Electromagnetic shutdown of Rome and Venice was allowed. [OFF: NEWCOMERS] Patria has begun the mass integration of approximately 80 million additional people into their fold as living capital from the newly annexed Westafrika and the Maghreb. Hopes are that they will be fully connected to their network in 5 years time, but enlistment has already begun. Patria transitions its nuclear arsenals into the German fold, propagandizing and insisting towards the populations that their 'birthright was promised to them'. Tensions between the now majority-human population and the mostly Zala'iyan government and core territory in Iberia continues to spike as the war continues. While most of the population remain adamant to continue fighting for ideological and religious regions, inefficient conflicts and local skirmishes leading to scandals had started to weigh on the government. The Head Librarian has decided to fund a massive concert in New Lunaria to celebrate this new nation in order to calm tensions down. Critics are skeptical of whether this would be effective to alleviate the inherent conflict.
