Vedek-Scaren Border Skirmishes

The Vedek-Scaren Border Skirmishes are an ongoing border dispute between the governments of Vedek and Scaren which, while going on at the same time as the West Osturland Crisis, it has yet to involve either of the nations' allies either within or without, respectively, AZOVV and the Ander Pact. The dispute, begun by Scaren (though the Scarenian government claims otherwise), has been going on continuously since the Fifth of February, 2017, when Scarenian troops attempted to cross the Vedekan border at the same time that the Scarenian government announced it intended to "reclaim lands it's people once called their own". However, the Vedekan government responded by sending in their own troops, whom stopped their counterparts at the border.

As of yet, little real conflict has occurred, though a number of firefights have broken out, usually being won by the Vedekan forces as the Scarenians do not often receive reinforcements or attack with significant effort. This approach has lead some to believe that the Scarenian forces are testing the weaknesses of their Vedekan counterparts in preparation for a full-scale attack when the right opportunity arises, perhaps facilitated by an anticipated defeat of one of Vedek's most important allies, Osturland.
