Anvil United Front

The Anvil United Front (AUF for short) is an Alliance created by the Helganti Confederacy, Frolikar Empire and The Northen Devine States, Formed Officially after the Golfant Invasion

Anvil United Front - The Formation

The AUF Formed Inittially after the Nation of Golfant Invaded the Helganti Confederacy in 1980, due to the Helganti Confederacy and the NDS having a Defensive Pact, NDS joined the defensive, 2 months into the fighting the Frolikar Empire, Scared that it might become Golfant's next target, Joined the war after the Landing of Darnaruz, which caused Golfant to be Heavily outnumbered, Despite the struggle, the 3 Allied Countries finally managed to defeat Golfant in 84, proceeding to annex the territory and deviding it amongst the 3 War Participants, During the Peace Conference however, the 3 nations decided that in order to prevent further invasions, they formed a mutual defensive pact, however that Defensive pact grew into an alliance in only a few months, eventually forming the Anvil United Front in December 1984.

Rising Tensions

Multiple Countries were Jealous of the AUF's huge amount of resources, after consolidating its power and taking advantage of the Hills and Mountains filled with Minerals in the Helganti Confederacy and using its massive industry in Frolikar and Golfant to its full effect, Outside nations grew Fear and Jealousy towards the AUF, eventually forming their own Military Pact, also known as the Mutual Assistance League, With the coming months the people of both sides started making protests oposing the other countrie's actions, MAL and AUF consistently threw accusations and each other, mostly meaningless and even outright absurd, this continued for about 7 months before the first official diplomatic action was taken, the AUF decided to close its borders with all Countries associated with the MAL, who they themselves followed suit, even going a step further as to Expell all AUF Citizens from their lands, effectivelly creating a mass refugee incident

however a new Commander-In-Chief was appointed in the MAL in April 1985, High Lord Fornilius, who took things to a whole new level.

Calm before the storm

After the new High Lord was appointed in the MAL, he took extreme actions immediately, Sending an Ultimatum to the AUF to hand over extortionate ammounts of Resources and Money, reasoning it was for the "humanitarian aid in the much Needing MAL nations". The AUF, To his surprise, Accepted. however, whilst they claimed they were gathering the resources to comply with the ultimatum, in truth, the AUF was Mobilizing its Military Forces and gathering Supplies for the Up and Comming War.

Unfortunetly however, the AUF Had De-mobilized most of its forces after the golfant war, and was having a hard time re-mobilizing, it was not ready for back to back wars, and many soldiers refused Re-Enlistment after fullfiling their service in Golfant., meanwhile, the Combined MAL Forces were eager to go to war, with the armies of the League Members, they amounted a rather large force at the Border with the AUF, with tremendous amount of Air Squadrons being deployed to the Airfields at the front and the Navy was being re-commissioned, with a large amount of ships being brought back into service, however weakened due to their old age, compared to the AUF's Fleet, they were obsolete, though they were to receive improvements in the coming years.

July, 3 Months after the Ultimatum was issued, the AUF Forces had managed to gather a significant force on their borders with MAL, who was unsuspecting of the Imminent threat until a spy from MAL reported the situation back to its commander, who was shocked at the news.

The AUF Forces had now matched the MAL Border Garrisons by half, this is thanks to the 3 month preparing and Mobilization period thanks to the ultimatum excuse and the already positioned troops during the Rising Tensions period.

Spark of War

After recieving the reports, Fornilius Composed himself before the Council and Officially declared war on the AUF, with the first hostilities opening up on the outskirts East of Langzuria in January 1986, the Veteran Helganti Troops who had seen a lot of fighting during the Golfant Invasion had no trouble fighting the Fresh Meat that MAL had sent to its borders, they were no match for the Veterans, who suffered No Deaths during the inittial Assault and massing heavy casualties to the MAL Shock Batallion, the Hostilities turned into small scale skirmishes throught the entire front, with the Airforce seeing the most action with multiple missions over Hostile Lands.
