Line 39: The Archon's force made slow progress in their assault, landing on the 21st of March [[2596]], having to deal with conducting an assault in the midst of the monsoon season against the combined forces of the [[7th Amaris Legionnaires|Seventh Amaris Legionnaires]] and [[8th Amaris Dragoons|Eighth Amaris Dragoons]] bolstered by well-prepared defenses that included bunker complexes and gun emplacements. The weather heavily favored the outnumbered defenders, while the various battles turned the ground outside the city into a quagmire, bogging down the SLDF units and sapping morale. The weather also prevented the SLDF from making use of AeroSpace forces much of the time, and it was only with the addition of those forces commanded by Duke Selaj that real progress began to be made.<ref name="H:RWp139"/> The Archon's force made slow progress in their assault, landing on the 21st of March [[2596]], having to deal with conducting an assault in the midst of the monsoon season against the combined forces of the [[7th Amaris Legionnaires|Seventh Amaris Legionnaires]] and [[8th Amaris Dragoons|Eighth Amaris Dragoons]] bolstered by well-prepared defenses that included bunker complexes and gun emplacements.
