'''Battle of Ridge 208''' (19 March - 21 May 1942) was a 2 month-long siege during the [[Elyagan Valley Campaign]] where Quenminese and Archadian troops besieged ZANAC positions around Ridge 208, in order to effectively reduce Allied strength in the ongoing campaign on the Elyagan Valley. Planned out by Marshal Count [[Thạch Hung Sõn Chiến]], with a belief that he had planned out for the surrender of more than 30,000 of the most elite troops in the Commonwealth Army, he had expected the positions to surrender within a month. However, supplies were dropped from the air onto the Ridge, thereby keeping the ZANAC forces supplied and continued fighting until it was relieved by the Bethausian and the ERUAC forces.

Battle of Ridge 208 (19 March - 21 May 1942) was a 2 month-long siege during the Elyagan Valley Campaign where Quenminese and Archadian troops besieged ZANAC positions around Ridge 208, in order to effectively reduce Allied strength in the ongoing campaign on the Elyagan Valley. Planned out by Marshal Count Thạch Hung Sõn Chiến, with a belief that he had planned out for the surrender of more than 30,000 of the most elite troops in the Commonwealth Army, he had expected the positions to surrender within a month. However, supplies were dropped from the air onto the Ridge, thereby keeping the ZANAC forces supplied and continued fighting until it was relieved by the Bethausian forces.

The failure for the Imperials to effectively take out the ZANAC forces around the ridge costed time and logistics. Rumours had it that after the battle, the Imperials no longer attempted to take on the ZANAC forces in every eve of a battle or campaign. The battle cemented Archadian Marshal Victor Sazabio's praise towards the ZANAC forces.
