Yes, the war has opened and Ulm has fared reasonably well in its opening but this is a clash of empires and first blood matters much less than last blood. Ulm's "commando operation" was a suicide bombing, but that is to be expected from a country full of fanatical nihilists. What hasn't been reported is the failed amphibious assault Ulm attempted, as well as the series of failed assassinations Ulm tried to execute. In the interest of fairness, we would mention any successful assassinations... but there weren't any.

A true meeting of armies has yet to happen. Once it does, then there will be something worth reporting.
