===== Assault on Lexington City =====
===== Assault on Lexington City =====
On October 17th, an Alliance force built an attack tunnel at bedrock into the heart of Lexington, precipitating the largest pitched battle of the war to date. Most of the bunkers there were disabled and numerous bastions broken, but only one Nox fighter was pearled that day. Meanwhile, two Alliance fighters were pearled after both were accidentally shot by roboninja77 with a Punch II bow into an enemy trap. Gregy never forgot this affront, and would sit out the rest of the war. While much damage had been done, the attackers were forced to withdraw.

With skirmishes in the intervening days, a final push was made on October 23rd. As the bedrock and surface of Lexington were a mess of both side's blocks, no defenders contested. By the end of the day, the city had been looted, its bunkers disabled, and all nearby territory thoroughly snitched. The city would never recover.
With skirmishes overnight, a final push was made on October 19th. As the bedrock and surface of Lexington were a mess of both side's blocks, no defenders contested. By the end of the day, the city had been looted, its bunkers disabled, and all nearby territory thoroughly snitched. The city would never recover.

===== First Attack on Lexington Vault =====
On October 21st, a short push was made against the eastern side of the Lexington Vault. With the majority of the effort put in at bedrock, little progress was made, but some clever trapping resulted in the pearling of Vicccyy on UHCUnleashed. When stiffer resistance began to surface, the attack tunnel was filled up and Alliance forces pulled out.

This evened out on the 5th, when numerous PvPers from the Big Dogs joined Anguish. JohnFairfax was pearled on the first day, but their attacks continued for a few days. On December 9th, a final skybridge completely rebroke the Anguish vault. This bridge was the first use of ladder-placed bastion breaking, an innovation that would eventually yield the Lexington Skybridge.

===== Second Attack on Lexington Vault =====
A second attempt to break the Lexington Vault was undertaken on December 30th. Starting early in the morning, a large Alliance force pushed a skybridge deep into the vault, penetrating the trench and 3 rings. Due to a rushed timeline and less supplies than were needed, the attack ended in spectacular failure. While 3 defenders were pearled, the attackers lost tankbuster44, Xavter, BlackXnt, TheJKH, and TangentialThreat. This was by far the greatest hit to morale taken in the war and nearly led to the dissolution of the Western Alliance.

===== Attack on Mob City =====
Despite the low levels of motivation for continuing the war, Maxopoly led on a small group of fighters on January 15th, 2018 in disabling Mob City, the last remaining stronghold outside of Nox's main vault.
