In the first cutscene of Halo Wars, Cutter clearly states the UNSC actually fought for five years to reclaim the planet. Now this wouldn't make any sense if the last battle had been in 2526 and there was no fighting in between. This is further reinforced by the recent video on Waypoint, detailing the Halo Wars backstory. It clearly indicates that there was a constant battle going on on Harvest, between 2526 and 2531. We can't really determine if there were any pauses in the fighting, and if there were, how long and when. In any case, it's pretty much clear that the fighting continued even after Cole destroyed the Covenant ship above Harvest. The question is, how long after did the Covenant invade again and when did the UNSC respond? If the aforementioned sources are to be believed, the battle must've continued the same year and lasted until 2531.--[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] ([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]]) 19:19, January 24, 2010 (UTC) | In the first cutscene of Halo Wars, Cutter clearly states the UNSC actually fought for five years to reclaim the planet.

:Well, there was only one Covenant ship during the Second battle, which was destroyed by Cole's forces. So, there would have to have been a gap between both battles. About Cutter's quote, he stated that it took them five years to ''get back'' Harvest, he might not have necessarily meant the battle lasted for five years. - | :Well, there was only one Covenant ship during the Second battle, which was destroyed by Cole's forces.

::There was obviously a gap and yeah, it really can't be thought as the same battle. But from what I gathered from the Waypoint video, it seems there was a more or less continuous engagement from 2526 to 2531. But you're right, it isn't just one battle. Maybe change the dates in the third battle from only 2531 to 2626-2531? In fact, we don't know how many separate battles there were in between. But there apparently was something going on.--[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] ([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]]) 20:48, January 24, 2010 (UTC) | ::There was obviously a gap and yeah, it really can't be thought as the same battle.
