In March, Jimarian air forces had narrowly secured air superiority above Makise, and ground forces prepared to invade. However, Ginsukyoan forces had managed to fortify the city on the ground. Some 206,000 Ginsukyoan defenders held out against over 179,000 Jimarian attackers, granting the WAUF their first victory in the war. The defeat would prompt the Jimarian parliament to require all citizens aged 22-24 to sign up for the draft the following month, though the draftees would not yet be called upon. In June, Jimarian forces numbering over 170,000 would assault the reinforced 218,000 Ginsukyoan defenders in the second battle of Makise. Jimarian forces solidified air superiority, but the ground assault was once again a failure. This second failure prompts Jimaria to call up 80,000 conscripts to aid in the war effort. |

August would see a poorly planned Atlantian air raid against the Fazarian islands to their North. Just 50 Atlantian bombers would meet resistance from over 800 Fazarian aircraft, being quickly overwhelmed and shot down. Only 2 Fazarian casualties are reported. This air raid would be shortly followed by the Ozge Stadium bombing, linked to the "Thraxian Liberation Army", a paramilitary group with ties to the Thraxian state. As the bombing was in the middle of a game, tens of thousands of Fazarian civilians would die, prompting prime minister Salgado to declare war. Jimaria would quickly issue formal declarations against both Atlantia and Thraxia. |

Along with this, Thraxian Partisans and Insurgents began to harass Ceironian supplies, placing mines and other explosives on roads and bridges, among other tactics. |

On September 7th, Ceironian and Jimarian forces would launch a joint "Operation Poseidon" against remaining Thraxian holdouts. While the remains of the Thraxian airforce were able to put up an impressive resistance in the skies, ground forces would continue to be battered, Thrax taking over a hundred thousand further casualties to just a few thousand between Ceironia and Jimaria. Thraxian forces would be further pushed back toward their largest cities. Poseidon would be accompanied by a third assault on Makise, and while Ginsukyoan airforces were decimated, losing dozens of planes to only a single confirmed Jimarian loss, ground forces continued to hold out. Ginsukyo maintained slight ground numerical superiority, though were as unable to break out of the city and retake loss territory as Jimarians were unable to capture Makise. |
