Today, Combined forces from Tara, Cagalin Empire and Darka defended an invasion from forces of Abington, Redspan and Carelia.  The defeat was major as several important figures the enemy forces were both wounded and captured.  The Masacre took place shortly after sunrise on the outskirts of Meldeen.  Tsubaki, the General of Cagalin Empire, took control of the battlefield and ensured the victory.  Lister, Tara's trusted General, was injured in the battle, but doctors say he should be up and around any day now.  After the battle, and the huge failure of the Southern Alliance, the peasants of Meldeen quickly warmed to the idea of being ruled by Tara once again.
+
A couple of days ago, Tara recaptured Meldeen, under a brutal takeover.  It was necessary in order to bring the region under our control.  The peasants were none too happy with the brutality, and under the new rules of war, Tara is only permitted to lay claim to Meldeen.  Although, Redspan has said they have no intentions of reclaiming Meldeen, their actions were to attack our forces shortly after making that claim to Achilles among all the rulers.

News spread quickly that the battle in Meldeen was coming.  One of the Largest ever seen took place today, on the outskirts of Meldeen.  Allied forces were fortified and ready for the upcoming attack by Axis forces today.  Rumors report that Achilles had dispatched spies to screw up the roads between Stargard and Meldeen. This had huge affects on the outcome of the battle. Sydney Carton was rumored to have been the hero of that mission!

Meldeen Recaptured, again
April 26th, 2006

A couple of days ago, Tara recaptured Meldeen, under a brutal takeover. It was necessary in order to bring the region under our control. The peasants were none too happy with the brutality, and under the new rules of war, Tara is only permitted to lay claim to Meldeen. Although, Redspan has said they have no intentions of reclaiming Meldeen, their actions were to attack our forces shortly after making that claim to Achilles among all the rulers.

"I am sorry it has come to this, but Redspan refuses to accept blaim for their treachury.", Achilles was quoted as saying. "Our next steps should be a bit easier given the amount of loss suffered by our enemies."

New Rules Govern Tara
April 26th, 2006

The rules of war have been changed. Now, when any nation takes land from another, it will be recognized as "claimed" or "under claim". And until the two nations sign into peace, it will remain that way. The issue is, one can not appoint a Regional Lord to govern the people, thereby making it more difficult to keep under our control. Further more, without the Regional Lord, peasants are less likely to pay the taxes owed to the claiming nation. No recruitment centers may be built, or any other building for that matter.


Is Redspan really hated?
April 26th, 2006

Shamus called on Achilles to stop the war because of his hatred. The Redspan revealer says Achilles hates Redspan. Is this all true? This report dove into the mind of Achilles himself to find out the source for this so called, hatred.

(R) Reporter - Achilles, there are rumors that you "hate" Redspan, is this true?

(A) Achilles - Not in the least. I feel they betrayed us, and that they want to not account for that and anything they may have caused our land, but hatered is a personal vendetta, and I am merly serving the will of the people.

(R) - How can you say that? Serving the will of the people would be to bring peace, would it not?

(A) - Depends on the will of the people. They want to be a bigger realm, and therefore I've ensured them we would be.

(R) - So what about hatered, it is widely felt you hate Redspan?

(A) - I do not hate Redspan. They are an untrustworthy realm. They were given chances to do the right thing, and apparently, they consider the right thing different than we do.

(R) - Do you plan on being merciful to Redspan?

(A) - Mercy is granted to those who properly ask for it. We have terms for mercy, but Redspan has to accept them. I do not suspect they will.

(R) - What of Abington and Carelia, did they not also plan to attack you?

(A) - Each bridge is different. Currently, we are at war with all 3 Nations. It is strategicly impossible to wage war at once on all 3 nations. We have strategic plans layed out, and unfortunately for Redspan they are the closest enemy.

(R) - Is there anything you'd like to say to Redspan or her Troop Leaders?

(A) - Yes, you're going through a rough time now, similar to when Tara was at war. We know the feeling, we bear no pleasure in being the cause of that feeling, I assure you. And know this, Tara does not hate Redspan.

Achilles was unable to continue the interview, as he recieved orders from his General to return to Foda, he excused himself and promptly left.

Welcome New Troopleaders
April 26th, 2006

Tara's influx of immigrants looking to join the great nation of Tara has declined a bit over the past few weeks. Still, Tara has received several new Troop Leaders who've shown their eagerness to fight and follow orders.

Achilles wishes to welcome the new troop leaders, and appologizes for their getting thrown in the fire rather quickly.

Carelia / ASI Declare War
April 26th, 2006

The Allied Nations of Tara, Cagilan Empire and Darka have all moved back to refit for upcoming battles. Carelia and Ash Sea Islands have been given permission to cross Taran lands to conduct their own war as of late. Carelia will be focusing on ASI and ASI in turn will be focusing on Carelia.

It will be interesting to see whom will prevail.
