While disputes in reported numbers of the casualties the Nationalist forces took during the first two weeks of the ground intervention. With over 20k being reported killed or wounded with over 40k being taken as prisoners. In which it was confirmed by the Côtois Army that over 2k mercenaries from [[Rikevaarland]] were captured, the Rikevaari government having previously denied that any mercenaries from their country were involved in the Helslandr Civil War. [[Jeanne Pierre]] gave a statement in reply to the Rikevaari government, “If no one claims them, then they will rot in a cell until the end of their days. With the exception of the ones who talk to us about where they’re from and who paid for them.” Similar scandal broke out for the [[Blaskog|Blåskovian]] government after it was revealed by the UCA commander, Ivar Queile, that over 1k Blåskovian volunteers to the NRRH were captured or injured during Operation Sverdkrig. According to interrogations done by the [[NCIS]] majority of the volunteers was previous veterans from the Blåskovian Army, with almost all having connection to the Blåskovian far right party, Alviske Folke Partiet (AFP), also known as the Elven People’s Party. The information led to harsh reaction within Norgsveldet with the [[Ulvriktru Democrats]] and the [[Labour Party (Norgsveldet)|Labour Party]] calling for the government to take a harsher stance on Blåskog. [[Johanna Sverdrup]] announced then on the 25th January that if the Blåskovian government was to get its citizens back it had to pay in reparation costs to Helslandr for the damage caused by the volunteers. [[Jeanne Pierre]] commented on PM Sverdrup policy, stating on no certain terms that any Blåskovian prisoners taken by the Federation would be sent back to Blåskog until they have served their sentence. This led to the Blåskovian king, Carl IX, announcing that his government would refuse to accept Sverdrup’s terms and condemned Pierre’s policy, withdrawing its ambassador from the Federation. With there being leaks showing the king arguing with its son, Crown Prince Wilan, over the response. With the Crown Prince having reportedly requested the King to take Sverdrup’s offer. Though the Blåskovian Royal House proclaimed on the 15th March 2022 that both the King and Crown Prince were unified behind the decision.
The largest casualties were inflicted on the Coalition forces during the Battle of Varghallen, in which after several weeks of being besieged army units from Norgsveldet, Federation, Pledonia and Eyjaria stormed the city on the 3rd February 2022. With over 100k Coalition forces facing against a poorly equipped and disorganized Nationalist force of over 160k personnel. Mainly made up of Hirdist militias, the paramilitary [[Iron Front (Helslandr)|Iron Front]] and few [[Tiervan|Tieresh]] volunteers. In which a brutal street to street fighting occurred. The fighting only ended after Norgsveltian Special Forces shot and killed Tirlid Kvirkdelen and his bodyguards during a skirmish in Varghallen’s bunker network. With the NRRH’s second-in-command, Peline Sorttelle, being captured by Côtois Marines in the same bunker network. Causing the fighting to end in the city on the 21st February 2022. While estimated figures over casualties is disputed the Coalition Forces reported that over 5k Coalition personnel was either killed or wounded during the battle, as result of NRRH’s fanaticism and suicidal tendencies. Most Coalition casualties were from the Federation and Norgsveldet. The same fanaticism and suicidal tendencies is also cause of why Nationalist causalties was so high, with estimated 50k killed or injured, with over 110k being captured. According to witness accounts by Pledonian Soldiers many of the NRRH’s soldiers refused to stop fighting after getting captured.
