The outpouring of international condemnation was strong, and foreign support and weapons began to flow into the North and South Islands. Ardghar and Ros Mac finally sat down to create a campaign plan based off of lessons they had learned at training camps in Vithnija. However, their tact was different and were unable to overcome disagreements, parting ways to stand up similar, but different organizations.

The Royal Family, appalled that the socialist uprising was now turning into a full fledged rebellion, began tasking the Army with hunting down the dissenters and subversives, essentially in an attempt to go onto the offensive and crush the communists. Lacking the effective equipment or training to do so, the clumsy attempts by the Army were either thwarted by sympathetic soldiers leaking plans of attack, or through commander's general incompetence at combatting insurgent forces. Weapons continued to be smuggled in, stolen from provate warehouses, or looted from Army store depots throughout Ardmore, as Brigades of socialists began arming themselves.

2 key battles put socialists on back foot on North Island
Ardghar and Ros Mac by March of 1927 were barely on speaking terms, with their respective aides and advisors communicating by letter and telegram to communicate the respective leaders' intentions. Ardghar formed the National Ardmori Front (NAF), his effort to still achieve a political solution, and with only a singular brigade of supporters and not nearly enough equipment, withdrew to a satellite island to leave Ros Mac's newly established Ardmori Liberation Army (NLA) on the North Island near Killinmuir, a major port city, and to continue to receive weapons and foreign fighters into the fledgling Liberation brigades (LBs).

Ardghar and Ros Mac split and form two different communist uprisings
Ardghar's strategy was to win over the support of the local populace with an increased reliance and effort to conduct union sign ups, political petitions, and where necessary apply armed force to force Royal sympathizers out when necessary. Favouring a long-term solution, and working with the Crown to show that they would not concede their demands but rather wished to work towards a common solution for the establishment of a Constitutional Republic, this was wildly opposed to Ros Mac's plan, which called for the violent overthrow of the Royal Family and government through a bloody revolution and national struggle against the upper classes.
