As Urcea devised its wartime strategy, it also negotiated and agreed to the Istroya Pact with [[Burgundie]]. The Pact replicated the open borders and common market institutions of the [[Holy Levantine Empire]] between the two nations, both as a wartime expedient but also as a continuation of the beneficial conditions afforded under the Empire. Intended to be a temporary measure, the length of the war would lead to the Pact's existence for another two decades until it was replaced by the similar [[Levantine Union]] after the end of the Great War, coinciding with the end of the [[Third Fratricide]]. | As Urcea devised its wartime strategy, it also negotiated and agreed to the Istroya Pact with [[Burgundie]].

The early winter months of 1935-36 saw the rapid deployment of veteran Dericania divisions to Urlazio. These forces had a nominal strength equaling about 400,000 men, but documents declassified in the 1960s indicate it was likely no more than 215,000 soldiers capable of fighting. [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal and Imperial Army]] intelligence began a campaign to confuse Caphirian intelligence to shield the true size of "Army Group West". This initially included positioning non-functioning tanks with fresh coats of paint in Urlazio followed by new, inflatable vehicles for visual reconnaissance purposes.

This initially included positioning non-functioning tanks with fresh coats of paint in Urlazio followed by new, inflatable vehicles for visual reconnaissance purposes. By March 1936, the pace of fighting on mainland Sarpedon had slowed to a stalemate as it became clear the Urlazio gambit had worked - Caphiria's military apparatus took the threat on Urlazio very seriously, buying Veltorina the critical time it needed to refresh its fighting forces and allowing Urcea additional time to mobilize and prepare. | ||
