With the first phase of the air campaign completed. Arkianian Aircraft now put their sights on Achian Fortifications and Installation with a particular focus on defensive positions in the mountains and their sophisticated air defenses, which proved to be a very effective tool against Arkianian aircraft despite Arkianian efforts to destroy them. Strategic Bombers would also play a role and would be responsible for dropping specialized bombs designed to collapse tunnels. However the bombers and the munitions themselves were few in number and the bombers could not be used until Achian air defenses were wiped out and the Bombers would also be hampered by limited knowledge of the extent of the Achian tunnel defenses. In tandem with the second face of the air campaign Arkianian ground grounds forces were ordered to make a limited advance towards the mountain pass which could be used as a major supply route for Achian forces to the east. Group East also began advancing to approach Arnas. The Arkiania Navy also began direct engagement of the Achian Navy and coastal installations.
