September 13th, 2006 - Defeat in Stora... Stora has once again been wetted by the blood of brave and impetuous Old Rancaguan soldiers as the invading army was defeated once more at the hand of the Kalmar Islands under the dominion of Lalakis the Tyrant. This, the third invasion of the isles was even less successful than the previous invasion. The situation in the Old Rancaguan High Command has become somewhat tense as heated discussions over the direction of the military were held. Some have even called for High Marshal Johnny's resignation from office. The most recent attack was once more fraught with difficulty as the regrettably efficient and highly trained infiltrators of Kalmar were again successful in wreaking havoc on the roads and sea-lanes which run from Kazan to Stora. Some nobles reported delays of up to 8 hours due to blocked roads, changed signs and strange tree formations. As a result, the original Old Rancaguan armada of 17,000 CS, some 1,500 men, arrived in waves against the entrenched defenders resulting in overwhelming defeat. The first wave of some 4,000 CS was massacred, however despite this defeat, Lord Johnny decided to continue the assault, resulting in a further defeat as only 6,000 CS arrived of the 13,000 remaining. It was at this point that upon the insistence of the Military Advisory Council, Lord Johnny ordered the retreat of the remaining forces who will now form the core of the new forces being amassed in Kazakh and Ashforth. The next invasion of Stora is scheduled for sometime in the next two weeks, the implications behind this assault are now very clear to the High Command, whose leadership is now being questioned by the Noble of Old Rancagua. It seems, that should defeat once more be inflicted, regrettably Lord Johnny may be forced to step down. The OR Press will keep you posted...
