Krimml falls! 2 August 1011 In what was a slightly undramatic battle, Krimml was completely overrun within a few hours today. The Westmoorian collumn showed incredible dedication by having every single one of its units in the correct formation by the time the battle started. Similarly to the battle of Ashforth the collumn opened with archer fire but this time lacking General Arica who is still recovering from her wounding. However even though our archers were much smaller in number Fontan had no archers of its own to return fire. Some confusion broke out in Fontan's ranks and noble Erwin Gall broke rank along with a number of peasants and performed a brave by suicidal charge at our front. With the gate down the Collumn was able to charge straight into Krimml and massacre the remainder of the Fontanese army. Scouts reported Zadek noble of Fontan at the rear of the castle with two calvary in a wedge formation (presumably one in front of the other?). With the city taken Marshal Thomas Foxglove gave out orders to damage the wall ready for further assaults. Westmoor has proven once more that it will not sit still while realms such as Fontan attack it in this case both politically and militarily. Basilus in chains! Basilus apparently gave some kind of speech in Greatbridge today, what this contained I do not know however he was still there when our army arrived and was rather quickly captured. With Basilus safely locked away in our dungeons (before he causes any more mayhem) is it too much to ask that the people of Fontan elect themselves a new chancellor? In the meantime Basil needs to be fed while he's here (hopefully not too often) so voting will be held shortly before each mealtime about what we should feed him. I hear Rat soup is first up prepared specially in Salta (the regional dish). |

Gregor saves Greatbridge 1 August 1011 In what can only be described as epic Duke Gregor Relak took his massive unit of some 180ish infantry met with some angry peasants and defeated Fontan with some help from Feoran's unit of archers. Katsuyori Takeda (noble of Fontan) was seriously wounded in this battle. Basilus Decimus our most cheesed off foe was also present at the battle presumably taking time out from his long and laborious journey to hand over Ashforth to Sirion. Whatever the case we can only inform you that you were going in the wrong direction! Ashforth is up north you may have had the map upside down. Our congratulations go out to Gregor for winning the second battle of Greatbridge or as historians seem to be filing it as... the battle of Gregor. |
