2nd Sorland War

The 2nd Sorland War was a three-week long between the Confederate States of Northern Avalonia (C.S.N.A. or K.N.A.) and a coalition consisting of the Kingdom of Ringerike and the Kingdom of the United Tribes of Theyka. The conflict began on the 7th of April 2011, when units of the Sorland National Guard, aided by affiliated paramilitaries and the U.N.N.A., seized the garrison of the Prince Erling Island Defence Force, effecively taking control of the whole island. 3 days later, the Ringeriker government dispatched a consisting of several dozen warships (including aircraft carriers), while hostilities between the C.S.N.A. and Theyka started the day prior.

So heres my bullet points of the war. Militaristic party leads coalition in Sorlands election, decides to take PEI independent of C.S.N.A knowledge. Republican fifth column on PEI manages to hide the approach of SNG (Sorland National Guard) which combined with bomb attacks cause enough chaos that the ground forces are overwhelmed and forces into below ground holdouts. First day much confusion for both sides until Sorland gov holds a press conference stating what it did. CSNA states apoplectic and in disarray, RR declares war on Sorland and theyka issue 48 hours deadline to withdraw troops. C.S.N.A response is to declare a cordon on the Island enforced by a carrier Battlegroup, a few escort squadrons and it's southern Fighter groups. So starts the war Naval war with heavy casualties for both sides. Maybe make it to begin with C.S.N.A gets worse off as it tries to enforce the cordon aggressively. Then as Theyka invades PEI C.S.N.A begins to claw it Back as the Theykans are forces to expose themselves to maintain the invasion. At this point the Chez Tanker gets hit which turns public opinion in the country. As RR fleet closes C.S.N.A declares if it passes a certain line then it will switch to to a total war footing.

Chezz intervenes here stating that 1. All fighting must Stop within 48 hours. 2. That a Chezz Peacekeeping force must be allowed to land and establish themselves between the two sides. 3. That the RR fleet must not pass the C.S.N.A set line.. 4. That in agreement of this that all Sorlanders forces will be evacuated by 30 days time. Any who break these rules will have all economic assets held by Chezz frozen and all shipping seized above a certain parallel in the lapetus. Sorland refuses to accept this, the CGMSS (Confederate Guards of the Ministry of State Security) launches a raid and arrests the political leadership of Sorland. All sides agree to this and the war ends

We'll I think that C.S.N.A would be trying to stick to the rules for the first part of the war to try to maintain a degree of legitimacy. It could be that Theyka/Ringerike would be building up for the PEI campaign they use there naval assets as sort of a skirmish force. Whittling away at cordon while trying to preserve its own forces. Then launching its push towards the island. That's when theyka hits what they think is a CSNA supply column when it's Chezz merchants.
