Even with the shift in resources to [[Cetsencalia]], Corummese forces were still numerically inferior to their Varshani counterparts. A large portion of Corummese strength in [[Crona]] represented in the main body of the [[Army of Conquest]] was still engaged north in a simmering conflict with the [[Alpachnee Confederation]]. Corummese command believed its air assets on hand, partial element of surprise and the qualitative edge of its forces would be enough to nullify the Varshani advantage in numbers. | |||
On May 25, 2021, Corummese artillery alongside drones began an intensive bombardment of Varshan positions south of the Amox river. By May 26, Corummese forces had constructed several pontoon bridges and were crossing over the Amox into Varshan proper. Pushing back light counter-attacks, the 3rd and 18th Mechanized divisions aided by [[Green Army]] jungle detachments secured several bridgeheads, allowing Corummese forces to continue pouring across. | |||
