[b]Thursday, January 1st[/b]
Without food to support it, the Chaegonian colony of [b]Siragusa[/b] in Faresia begins rationing. The people there, upset with the current administration's inability to feed them during war, stage anti-war protests as a result. The leadership, an Osldaian born Matthias Kazhoff, began the slogan "Better Off without Chaegon," that has started to take hold in the coastal colony. Sirgausa, without a garrison of troops at all, could easily become derelict if not handled appropriately.

[b]Saturday, January 3rd[/b]
The Heavy Cruiser [i]San Giorgio[/i] loiters off the coast of Tarania and sends it's lone scout plane up to reconnoiter the area on the Izzi Line. Initially frightened at the appearance of huge amounts of Chaegonian aircraft, the pilot learns that the Chaegonian fighters are attached to the bombers and ordered to attack enemy troops, not shoot down enemy fighters. The plane passes over the line several times, then returns to the San Giorgio, skips to the sea and is promptly retrieved via crane.

Three Chaegonian bombers and two fighters take off from a snowy field to bomb Pozzoullian positions on the Izzi line. After an hour of flying they reach the line. The three fighters strafe the enemy, and the bombers dip low enough to see the shouting faces of freezing Pozzoullian soldiers. They drop their bombs and return home.

The [b]Pozzoullian 1st Fleet[/b], outside the Liren harbor opens up it's guns on the ships inside. Sporadic splashes are seen from the shore. A shell from the Pozzoullian dreadnought hits the Liren Leave Center, killing all 76 civilians inside. The [b]Chaegon Armada[/b] sorties forth, with orders to [i]distract[/i] the enemy navy if possible. While the [i]Savio[/i] was busy repairing, the remaining 11 Poseidon-class destroyers and 2 Patrol-class Light Cruisers sort out of the harbor for a delaying action.
