It doesn't really make sense to consider this one war with three phases though. The Arrgh conflict is only tenuously related to the "Vanguard incident" and should certainly be considered its own conflict, whereas the "Vanguard incident" in inseparable from the Rose DoW. What is the benefit of splitting up the Vanguard/Rose war into two parts?
It's good Inst doesn't realize this because it's not reality. The reality is: Mensa started the war by "raiding" Vanguard forty-something times in a day.
I really don't understand why you're all having so much trouble comprehending what Inst is saying. Honestly, if you don't like how Inst does it then just compile the figures yourself and post them. Otherwise, keep up the good effort Inst.
How is this not the "Great Mensa HQ - Vanguard War Tracker"
Also, I unfortunately have to agree with Buorhann and Wayne. Any connection between the Arrgh and Vanguard wars is tenuous at best.

Apparently SK does indeed tolerate such acts.
We took the risk of going paperless. Mensa HQ took the risk of unwarranted aggression towards our alliance.
The fact that Vanguard has no allies remains a fact.
