Along the Achian-Arkianian Border
It had finally come. The Arkianian menace was on its way back over the border after an unexplained attack that was claimed to be an Achian attack on a train bridge on the Arkianian side of the border. Officially, an extensive internal review was conducted over a three day period by the military to find out if there was an unauthorized attack that was undertaken by a member of the armed forces. The Chief of the Armed Forces informed the press that should anything come up in their investigations, they will punish whoever authorized the attack and anyone involved in it.
However, this couldn't be further from the truth. Achians knew this would eventually have happened. Ever since their independence from the Arkianians was secured over 2 centuries ago, they knew it was only a matter of time before they would return. They had been hopeful that the Occitanians to the North would have come to the aid of the Achian people. But it was not meant to be, as the nation had seemingly fallen silent.
Three days later the war began. The Arkianian armed forces struck on all fronts, but this time the Achians would be ready for them. Over the past two centuries, the Achians had prepared for their return and built up a series of defenses and plans to give the Arkianians hell. Even if it was a losing battle, they would make them bleed thrice over.
The coastal defenses roared to life as they began to do what they could to strike at their navy. Further inland, anti-air establishments took aim at the airforce as fighters were scrambled to prevent them from total control of the sky. On the ground, an evacuation order was sent to Arnas. The city's people would not become corpses in a pointless battlefield where many would surely die. Instead the Arkianians would have to fight on their terms... in the mountain passes that they knew like the backs of their hands.
As the Achian forces began pulling from the Southeast section, they pulled back into the Southern Pass and further into the North beyond Arnas. The rail running between the Coast and the Inland through Mozion was cleared of all commercial and passenger trains. Only military trains would be allowed on that rail unless otherwise specified. The War for Achian Survival had begun after all; no mistakes could be made now.
