Arcerion also invited significant staffs of Urcean and Burgoignesc defense attaches, arriving through the New Archduchy and travelling to Kurst across the nation via the National Railway Service. The most important of these were Burgundian officials who helped to coordinate Operation Flyhook, one of the major long-term combat operations against the Capetian Navy, a joint action by Arcer and Burgoignesc ships. | Arcerion also invited significant staffs of Urcean and Burgoignesc defense attaches, arriving through the New Archduchy and travelling to Kurst across the nation via the National Railway Service.

One of the most critical components to the early Arcer war effort was preparing the nation economically for what lay ahead. Thankfully, a strong national railway system, combined with the New Archduchy being part of Urcea's sphere of influence meant that Arcers would not go hungry and materiel to support their Levantine allies could continue to flow. On the homefront, Arcer industry began retooling for the war effort. manufacturers of circuitry and electronics began to manufacture radios and other important electronics for the war effort whilst larger shipyards and automotive manufacturers built new vessels and armaments for the sea and land forces. The benefit of a strong domestic aircraft industry also assisted Arcerion as they were able to rely on this to generate much of their early war airlift and transport capabilities to supplement their land forces. Where Arcerion truly lacked was heavy and strategic bombers, as most of their forces were oriented to support the infantry and armoured troops with close air support or fight screens. Development of a native heavy bomber was slow progress, and Urcean blueprints and designs were licensed with their Levantine counterparts sending officials to Arcerion to help redesign factories to accommodate the new needs of their ally. | |||

In The Cape, outbreak of hostilities was marked with much consternation as the Capetian Regime in Cape Town realized they were far from their Caphirian Allies. Economically, they were still attempting to industrialize, with the majority of their factories and heavy industrial facilities still undergoing painful transitions under the new communist regime. Preparations for the war began, but the leadership focused on a poor strategy of defending their two islands in the Songun Straits, XX and YY. | |||
