After the failed attack on the [[Lexington Vault]] on December 30th, 2017, the war again entered a
Despite low morale and thin numbers, the remaining Western Alliance fighters began a Northern insurgency in February; focusing on attacking and disabling infrastructure outside of the Lexington vault - mainly Mob City, Lexington City, and Konigsberg.
During this period, Vaape ventured into the Commonwealth, logged off on a snitch in Arran, and was subsequently supposedly entrapped; VoteLabour was tasked with killing Vaape upon login. The logbox was placed incorrectly, and Vaape began making his escape - on the 6th of March. VoteLabour logged in shortly afterwards, and a duel ensued; VoteLabour pushed Vaape off the cliffs of Arran into the ocean and dived after him. The tide of the fight swiftly turned after the anticheat paralyzed VoteLabour in the ocean, and Vaape, with VoteLabour's pearl, began his journey back to Lexington vault - a distance of over 20,000 blocks. Having met such an unfortunate conclusion, VoteLabour had already mentally prepared himself for his imminent departure. Leadership, acting with urgency, instantly assembled Maxopoly, Diet_Cola, R3KoN, and Magier for interception. Vaape, far from his allies and lacking the resources to survive the impending interception, dropped the pearl and logged off.
Eleven days after this close call, on the 17th of March, Quinn, places a fake bounty on her alt Rail_Bot - located in a FOB nearby Konigsberg - and invites Vaape to pursue it. Vaape, expecting an easy kill and some quick fun, is confronted by Magier.

No serious attacks on any vault were made during this period.
The [[Western Alliance]] did not rest, though, as its leaders clamored for the release of their friends from the enticing clutches of [[sintralin]]. New alliances were formed, with nations like [[Yoahtl]] and [[Vinland]] secretly joining the coalition. At the end of March, a group of these individuals began constructing a ringed attack bunker 1 kilometer west of [[Lexington]]'s, affectionately named "[[Tinian]]" after the island used by the USA in the second world war to launch aircraft carrying the atomic bombs towards Japan. The skybridge technique utilized in the second assault on Anguish and the previous assault on Nox had been perfected, and was now ready for deployment.
