At the end of the last session my PC’s crew took over a turf from the Crow’s Faction in Crows Feet and subsequently went to war with them (-3 status). Any advice on how I might adjudicate the war, a progress clock perhaps? I would appreciate any input. Thanks.

War with another faction continues typically until the status is raised back above -3 through play or until all the crew’s Claims are taken (including their Lair).
I’m curious as to the other direction – PCs winning the war.
Eric Brunsell That’s what I meant by “all the crew’s Claims and Lair are taken.” In either direction. Rival crews (or factions, whatever) all have claims of their own. So, you’re very unlikely to end a war with a group like The Hive or The Military by “winning.”
You might start two “Morale” clocks, one for both crews. Whoever runs out of morale first asks for peace from a position of weakness.
You might incorporate the idea of “War Goals”. What is the goal of the aggressor in the war? Reclaim turf? Make a statement? There are bars lower than “total obliteration of the enemy.”
Erik Bernhardt Coffee is for closers. Chamomile tea is for people who do things by half measures.
Don’t forget that all the factions have interactions and so the rivals may also call in favours.
