Background
Fhainnin Civil War
Pan-Gael Movement
Holy Levantine Fratricides
Early War
- push into central western Fiannria and southern cutoff area
- quickly roll southern region back into fold, establish provincial gov't
- advance into central valley stagnates with spring '30 rains
- slow advance until 1931, then stalemate with mostly mountain wars as neither side wants to escalate trench warfare (Fhainn for ideology, Fiannrians for needing time and not wanting to escalate civilian casualties/reprisals without HLE support)
- air strikes and artillery trump infantry and machine guns, excepting specialized mountaineer units, quickly escalated to an airship/aeroplane race
- Vandarch dominated even by weakened Fhainn fleet, Fiannrians dominate outer sea and push slightly into Fhainnaeran on northern border coast by 1932
- war basically inactive/minimal heavy combat 1932-1935 sans buildup and air/sea battles

Middle War
- HLE support comes in, major Fiannrian offensive pushes Fhainn back to secondary position in center, Fhainn push back in north and reignite heavy air/sea combat in the ocean and along the island-smattered coast
- more conventional trench war (still mostly playing chicken) in summers and autumn, both sides effectively don't campaign too hard in winter or early spring
- air war tilting away from airships, tanks becoming more common and 'duelling' with each other, old cavalry units, and smaller motorcycle units/dragoons in lieu of infantry charges
- any non-Fiannrian units (not seen by Fhainn as 'brothers under a different flag) that come in get a proper war instead of the almost gentlemanly fighting taking place between the land forces and repeatedly get hammered, which does start up the most bloody Fhainn-Fiannrian violence as the Fiannrians back up their foreign volunteers/allied units

Major Participants: Fhainnaeran and maybe an ally vs Fiannria, Urcea, Deric States Time Frame: May 18th, 1928 to August 1st, 1951 Results: Ceasefire ####, Peace Treaty #####, Fhainnaeran pays ###### in reparations and all prisoners are released (almost all?)
Sub-fronts: (Vandarch Coast, early land invasion and mountain skirmish with naval elements throughout war), (North coast, largely naval and mtn skirmish), (central corridor, tanks and massed infantry/artillery)
Notable things: Airships
airplanes
tanks
railroads
pan-galeicism
Fhainnin royalist remnants joining with Fiannrian army
gov't-endorsed Christmas/Holiday ceasefires (?)
War Order 1928-14: Fhainnin military order instructing high standards for following honorable rules of war and instating heavy punishments for '... butchering, brutalizing, robbing, abusing, or unduly aggressing against the citizenry of Fiannria; or for executing or maiming surrendering Fiannrian soldiery who have not spent the greater portion of their ammunition; or for inciting or compelling other soldiers to commit gross violations of existing military law.'
The Fhainnin navy of the republican era focused on the production of battlecruisers, favoring a strategy of holding the Vandarch Sea and using fast warships to contest foreign dominance over the wider world oceans.
Fhainnin design teams tend to focus on speed over and accurate long range alpha strike ability over staying power, focus on kiting and ambush tactics
Fhainnin navy entering the GW: 2 battleships, 1 prototype carrier 16 battlecruisers, 43 cruisers, 68 frigates/destroyers, 2 submarines
Fainnin air force entering the GW: 1 soft airship, 5 rigid airships (one of which was biplane carrier prototype), 400 various planes
fhainnin navy leaving the GW: 1 battleship, 12 battlecruisers, 1 carrier, 4 light carriers, 28 cruisers, 49 frigates
Fhainnin air force leaving the GW: 16 rigid airships (two of which were fitted as light plane carriers, and four others with light armor and artillery mounts), 1,200 various planes
Great War Entry Fleet (1929): 2 Battleships 7 Battlecruisers 1 Carrier (light) 30 Heavy Cruisers 0 Light Cruisers 62 Destroyers 12 Submarines 18 Airships
Great War Final Fleet: 2 Battleships 6 Battlecruisers 1 fleet carrier 3 light carriers 31 Heavy Cruisers 3 Light Cruisers 59 Destroyers 27 Submarines 14
Carrier airships scrapped postwar as tech makes biplanes useless by then, 3 other battlecruisers given to Fiannria to help repay war debt
