Initially, Asteria sent about 15,000 troops, hoping to take the Tawakee Province in a swift manner. The Asterian Air Force had firebombed the cities of [[Sevier]], [[Naqauba, Tulangia|Naqauba]], and [[Waqolia|Waqolia]], causing thousands of Tierradorian civilian casualties. These attacks had led to the condemnation of Asteria from the League of Nations. In response to the firebombing, [[Qaphenć of Tierrador|Qaphenć]] Daniel W.K. Šaphiana called for all citizens of Tierrador to fight back against the Asterian invaders, in his infamous "Show No Mercy" speech. The ADF was met with fierce resistance from not just the [[Tierradorian Defense Forces|TDF]], but from various State Patrol squadrons in Tulangia along with guerrilla forces, comprised of former TDF soldiers and civilian firearm owners who felt an obligation to defend their country. Approximately one year into the war, the Asterian military presence in Tulangia and Ulunkheria had increased to approximately 46,000 troops and fighting across the region intensified; the complication of the war effort gradually inflicted a high cost on the Asterian as military, economic, and political resources became increasingly exhausted. Despite these complications, Asterian nationalism and domestic support had increased heavily.

The war had taken a swift turn in late 1981, as an attempted push of Ulunkheria from the north and west, dubbed the March to Prisamarina, had been ambushed by a coalition of TDF, State Patrol, and civilian guerrilla forces. This marked a pivotal turning point in the war, as it allowed for the Tierradorians to reorganize, in which they used this advantage to plan and execute a full-scale invasion of Asteria, which started with the recapture of Winnecomac, almost 150 years after the original invasion. This would be known as the "Great Pushback," and involved 101,000 TDF soldiers pushing towards the Asterian capital of Concordia, ambushing major Asterian military locations on the way. The war ended with the [[1983 Asterian coup d'etat]], and the removal of Mitch Holcomb from office, in favor of (new guy). Following the implementation of the new Asterian government, the Cowboy Crisis was officially ended on October 4, 1983, through the [[Naihungo Accords]] in [[Naihungo]], [[Alcosky]].
