[[Maximilian Liao]], the Capellan Chancellor, is plotting Davion's downfall, and proves well informed about the enemy troop movements. Expecting the counterattack, he plans to turn Stein's Folly into a trap for the Davion forces with the help of Hanse Davion's traitorous brother-in-law, [[Michael Hasek-Davion]]. When [[Colonel#Capellan Confederation Armed Forces|Colonel]] [[Pavel Ridzik]] reports that Liao forces on Stein's Folly are still facing heavy guerrilla resistance and are suffering substantial losses of men and matériel, Liao orders him in a fit of rage to return there and take matters into his own hands.

− Before leaving for [[Dragon's Field]], where the Davion troops are drawn together for the counterattack under the cover of the world's clouds, Ardan visits his family who run a farm on New Avalon to discuss his misgivings about war and politics with them, irritated that Hanse Davion would meddle in the affairs of other Successor States.

During a planning session on Dragon's Field, Ardan's farming background allows him to recognize a potential trap on Stein's Folly: The Highland Peninsula holding the capital city of Steinsdown is precariously dependent on food imports and could easily be cut off and besieged. Ardan suggests a radically altered assault strategy that will turn the tables on any would-be ambushers. Commanders [[Lees Hamman]] and [[Ran Felsner]] agree that the existing battle plan would indeed make them vulnerable if the Capellans set a trap as suspected by Sortek. Last-minute changes are implemented against the resistance of Fleet Admiral Bertholi, who has to recalculate approach vectors and new drop points for his entire [[DropShip]] fleet. Duke Michael Hasek-Davion is angry when confronted with the altered plans and tries to convince them to return to the original plan calling for a direct attack on Steinsdown. To appease the Duke, Felsner pretends to give in and leaves the Duke with the (false) impression that the proposed changes would not be implemented after all.
