''The unrelenting waves of Solarfortresses take losses, but there are just too many to cope with and their bombs start literal firestorms behind enemy lines. The fast and nimble drill tanks begin to get in close enough to the large, lumbering AGMBT-02s to bring their drills to bear, and their armor gets torn apart by the hardened drillbits, as other tanks fire fluoroantimonic acid missiles into the ISR forces, killing large groups of soldiers and crippling some tanks. After a few hours of fighting, the combined Aneph and Arendelle forces manage to punch several large holes in the enemy lines, and within minutes massive amounts of troops and vehicles are pouring through the breaches, expanding behind and encircling the intact portions of the ISR lines before spreading out. Within two hours, the ISR stronghold is completely surrounded and besieged by allied forces, but it is so hardened that to destroy it conventionally would cost an unacceptably high number of casualties in troops and materials, and allied forces begin calling in heavy fire support from the capital ships, though even their large weapons would take an inordinately long time to finish off the stronghold....''

''The calls for heavy support begin going out, and they are soon met in spades by the appearance of a truly gargantuan ship on the horizon. The pride of the Arendelle Navy, the A.N. Dreadnought carries a weapons arrangement that makes it uniquely suited for the task of breaching the fortifications; where the fifty meter shells of the ship-destroyers are too large and would cause many allied casualties and where the conventional capital-ship-grade railguns and guns of the Aneph warships wouldn't cause damage over a large enough area, the Dreadnought sports an one-of-a-kind primary weapons arrangement. It sports five quad-barreled, five-meter magnetically-enhanced gun turrets in addition to over a dozen casemated twin five-meter guns. Presenting its broadside to the fortifications, the colossal battleship fires its first ever shots against the enemy. Opening up with its primaries, it reduces fortifications to rubble and collapses parts of the stronghold within a minute and a half. Once the stronghold is breached, allied forces flood on in, engaging in vicious close-quarters combat. Some ISR troops try to break free of the encirclement, but are slaughtered in droves by high-explosive shells from the ''Dreadnought.

''The stronghold finally falls, and allied forces swarm outwards from the ruined stronghold in all directions, mopping up any ISR forces in the area and rapidly expanding the territory they control. ISR units that have indicated their wishes to surrender are engulfed by the advancing allied lines, and are detained to be sorted out after the invasion is over. With a roughly 250km curcular area under allied control, Aneph and Arendelle have established a strong foothold on one of the last bastions of the dying ISR, one that cannot easily be retaken barring a huge miracle play by the ISR ground and aerospace forces.''
