The AC buffs up its own defenses, including its missile interceptor grid and retaliatory attack protocols.
AC military factories are ordered to double their output and given two and a half times the resources to fulfill this new quota.
AC submarines begin patrolling the waters between Cape Horn and Antarctica, as well as The Cape of Good Hope and Antarctica. Any Atsnian vessels found in those waters are boarded and searched, and if they resist, sunken. Few prisoners are ever taken due to the limited space on board submarines, patrol boats are sent in after the fact to rescue all who can be saved, and these castaways are kept in a secure location in the Sahara, to be returned to Atsnia once the war ends or Atsnia has any prisoners to trade for them.
