[b]The Winter in the Sawl Confedaracy[/b] The weather had remained as it had been for a majority of the year, if not becoming more mild by the day. Many of the citizens were up in arms about the defeat at the hands of the Union, after all they were a leading force in the archipelago with the might of their Air Force and navy. Yet, the union had ships of iron. This angered the populous, especially the Gnomes seeing as how they were now behind their enemy in technology in the naval regard. To accommodate this, a bombing wing was sent out; numbering in ten bombers with an escort of ten interceptors and twenty bombers. The plan was to strike from above rather than a full frontal assult and hopefully that this would cripple the enemy naval power. Another force was sent out to go and aid the Kepriw, a land force that was to be transported by to the Kepriw land. It was a force of 125 Arquebusiers and 50 heavy Calvary. The main bulk of the Sawlian military would stay at the homeland in order to defend from any attack that may be heading their way. Recruitment was also under way of more Arquebusiers.
