Battle of Kalkisiknup

The Battle of Kalkisiknup was the first land engagement of the First Riyudic Invasion of Nanmaunaktuk.

Background
In January 1940, the Riyudic 4th Fleet under Admiral Amabu began moving North to approach Nanmaunaktuk.

Since the outbreak of hostilities, the Nanmaunak Army had begun defensive preparations anticipating an invasion.

Planning
The Riyudic 3rd Marine Division under Read Admiral Qaraho intended to take Kalkisiknup easily, and with little struggle. To enable this, a grand landing of 1,600 soldiers and 24 tanks was envisioned by deliberately sending the IRS Galogolo directly into port, with the rest of the fleet waiting to engage.

The Nanmaunak Chieftain, Chieftain Jorgen Simminiq, anticipated a large bombardment prior to any possible landing, and expected Qaraho to place landing sites along the rocky, but less defensible, shores of Kiriktak.

Initial Landing and Negotiation
At 07h00 3 July 1940, the 3rd and 8th battalions of the 1st Regiment, 3rd Riyudic Marine Division arrived into port 5C
