Good point raised by lahuil - Aegis did have the element of surprise - but still the defending by s-rank was pretty laughable given how much you mocked their poorly timed trains yet couldn't stop them..
Again still very early & still excited to see this war progress.... and what the other big players in the region will do (IPOD fam, Annex & ~IL~ creeping west.
Both tribes are heavily contacting others in attempt for allies in this war; Intel suggests Floss will be siding with ~A~ against s-rank, s-rank has contacted ~IL~ for an alliance & both tribes have contacted Annex for diplomacy; Gamefowl (duke of Annex) however, is smartly holding his cards close to him and watching the situation unfold for now. It seems we have a gangbang brewing ... but it's too early to tell.
The north west was previously a pretty secured region but has become the hottest spot on w97 right now due to this war - I will meticulously be following and trying to keep you updated with any and all info I discover.
Best of luck to all sides.
