	In the Early, Flare Up, and Mid phases the battle for Chatham's World and the meat-grinder on Saverra probably consumed the bulk of both Magnate and League front line forces and reinforcements leaving the battling factions on Ares to shoulder a great deal of the fighting; undoubtedly both the League and Magnates saw Chatham's as a more important battlefield as both the pro-Magnate and pro-League factions on Ares were able to shoulder a considerable part of their own war efforts. Chatham's eventually fell to the Magnates in the Late War . Perhaps the final efforts were prioritized over Ares by the Magnates. At the same time Mazulan and Outremondian reinforcements were able to break through the stalemate on Ares and start bringing that civilwar to a conclusion.

			Thematically for the fighting during the "Stalemate", or Swing years of the war as land no doubt changed hands, the situation was strategically semi-static as neither side could significantly overpower the other leading to incredibly brutal and destructive fighting characterized by big Magnate/Quisling offensives that got nowhere followed up by League offensives that got achieved much the same results. . . All interspaced by bitter fighting. Ares probably saw a portion of its population that actively supported the qusilings/magnates either exterminated post-war or left (voluntary or forcefully). They would have been replaced by refugees from Chatham's to some extent.<br>
