OOC: the naval forces number in the thousands, the ground forces there number in the hundreds of thousands, you're not going to encircle them in a night.

The USAiE and USMiE press their initial apparent surprise (since, you know, you didn't respond initially) overwhelming the quick reaction forces sent by the loyalists with blitzkrieg tactics, pushing beyond the 10 mile exclusion zone. With Norfolk secured, the ground forces push north along the coast, while a second ground force secures the Delmarva peninsula while loyalist forces are occupied with the Norfolk force.

From the sea, jamming from the fleet hampers attempts at communication for loyalist seas and ground units.

The thousands-strong USNiE armada approaches the loyalist fleet, weapons loaded and aimed but not firing, sending one message that pierces through the jamming.

"US Fleet, this is Admiral Rollins, 1st Liberation Fleet, United States Navy. You have been lied to, deceived. Your government colluded and conspired with foreign powers to overthrow the lawfully elected government of the United States of America. There's only one word for that, treason. Our war is with those traitors, not amongst ourselves. If you choose to switch sides and fight for the true patriots, then we will welcome you. But if you insist on serving the puppets of the Coalition, then we will not hesitate to cut you down like we will them."
