NOTE: Although Atropia is depicted as “friendly,” both sides will use similar HT tactics. They may have differing ROE.
The Arianian Strategic High Command are expecting the a coalition forces to reinforce the Atropians. They expect that the force will start arriving soon at the the Port of POTI and transit across Gorgas entering Atropia in the NW. Therefore before the coalition arrives they have decided to preemptively attack. The Arianan ME (OSC 1) is to seize to retain BAKU with its action force, the secondary effort is to ensure freedom of movement for the action force using its enabling force and its tertiary effort is to prevent reinforcement from Limaria or a flanking maneuver by the coalition with the Security force.
Limaria currently occupies Atropia’s Lower Janga region, an area fought over by Atropia and Limaria for over a quarter of a century. At present, over 95% of the Lower Janga region population belongs to the Limarian ethnic group. Refugees displaced from the Lower Janga dispute amount to over one million people. An estimated 400,000 Atropian Limarians and 30,000 Lower Janga Limarians fled to Limaria or Donovia to avoid the conflict. An estimated 800,000 Atropians from Limaria or Lower Janga sought refuge in Atropia. Various other ethnic groups in Lower Janga also evacuated to refugee camps in Atropia or Ariana. All efforts to settle the dispute since 1997 have failed.
Tensions still exist with Atropia over the disputed Lower Janga region, an Atropian province that is currently occupied by ethnic Limarians. Additionally, Ariana’s and Limaria’s improved trade relations have created tension with the US. Limaria will attempt to maintain relations with all the Caucasus powers due to its precarious economic development and isolated geopolitical position. X
