CURRENT AFFAIRS Perdanites smashed! In a large battle, allied forces of Fontan+Sirion were able to repel the Perdanite army and inflict heavy casualties. Several were captured/wounded, but the "trophy" of the battle was Queen Clarissa of Perdan. What is going to happen to her after pissing off President Gregor of Fontan? -Doc =======Update One======= Successful allied troops retreated from Bescanon, and the straggelers were destroyed by Perdanites moving in to secure the battlefield. Allies currently hold the line in Troyes. -Doc Where are they...? After the battles in Bescanon last week, things have been silent. This could be the first time in a good long while that Sirion forces haven't been "bogged down" in trenches for long periods of time. What are the Perdanites up to? Maybe September will be the bloodiest month of the year, yet. -Doc Perdanites keep playing Cat and Mouse Allied forces broke through into Bescanon today...and the Perdanites are anywhere but the front lines. It appears they are fleeing, perhaps Ibladeshian troops have captured their attention. Over 20K of allied forces now inside of Perdan. What they will do is yet to be seen. -Doc =Update One= Allied forces total roughly 32kCS in Bescanon, as Fontan takes it over. =Update Two= It appears that Perdan is advancing with her huge army. It is a well known fact that the allied forces need to "relearn" what it means to defend a camp given their recent string of losses while acting as Defenders. The allied forces are unmatched in terms of offensive capabilities evident in their numerous successful campaigns against well-garrisoned troops...but their recent strategy has been to set up camp and try to reduce the amount of equipment damage gained from moving on open fields, and to avoid engaging in various battles (and to boot, the Perdanites rarely fight as defenders in regions where they don't have a fort set up anyway, and their resupply route is so short to the front)...this "All or Nothing" strategy is risky, but allows for Allied forces to return a short distance to resupply, versus risking costly battles against Fortified locations, and having to return all the way to the Capital...we can only hope that being dug in, on the field, for upwards of a week at a time...and then facing fresh Perdanese Forces...will work out in the long haul. It is too soon to tell whether or not the Allies will be able to force Perdan into battle sooner than in previous campaigns, if perhaps, more TOs run rampant on Perdanese Soils, on a simultaneous level...but as it stands, the Perdanites have shown they will not expose themselves on open ground unless it is absolutely necessary....so we'll just set up camp around a takeover and let them come to us, even if it is a week later, when damages are high, and morale is low. -Doc =Update Three= So we've split our army...22k in Bescanon, and 13k in Meuse. Perdan keeps watching all the action from Brive. Orders were clear as day for the troops in Meuse: Destroy their Military Infrastructure. 391 Peasents--brainwashed employees of the said facilities--followed their orders, and took up arms against a vastly superior army. I will say this: They got Guts..or better said...they had Guts...more to come later if Perdan moves in to protect her Recruitment Centers and/or Citizens -Doc =Update Four= Our splinter Army in Meuse was defeatd by the Perdanites. My Unit advanced, deep inside of Perdan's Ranks...so I was surrounded on all sides. I am lucky to still be alive after that battle, I got off easy: A minor Wound to my Left Shoulder. More to Report when I fully recover. -Doc Slaverly Illegal in Sirion, but is a Local Merchant Bending Laws? Adrian, a Count of the Republic, has been openly purchasing goods used in the Cannibis farms within Sirion, acquired abroad with the use of slavery as the chief work-force. Many in Sirion do not feel that Adrian is promoting Sirion ideals because of where the supplies are coming from. Discussion runs rampant as he is being accused of having slaves on the Farms themselves, and no official Investigation has taken place yet. -Doc =Update One= Adrian is currently wounded. We are unsure at this time if he was assassinated by a novice Infiltrator (since he was not seriously wounded) or while battling some possible Monsters....while there are those that are proclaiming that the "workers" on the Ganja Fields went on strike after Adrian started charging them money for their own personal stashes...and that things got a lil messy as the normally peaceful people of Rollbar felt they were being used as tools, one step too far. Maybe we'll never know what happened, or Adrian might tell us if he isn't too ashamed about the ordeal. -Doc Infiltrator not thinkin Straight Seth VI damaged the production in a Fontanese region by a full 3%, and was caught immediately after the fires blazed and revealed his location to authorities. The Fontanese were able to contain the fire and salavage most of their productive facilities. In response to that action, Judge Hyraltic has issued a fine of 100 gold, with a ban if it happens again. Seth VI will probably get banned from Fontan for his actions...as I doubt "I was Drunk" will be a sufficient reason not to get banned by the Courts of Fontan. -Doc =Update One= Earlier today, Seth VI was banned by Hyraltic when he sabotaged the fortification in Limbar. Seth VI himself denies the allegations despite the clear evidence against him, and tried to argue the entire incident is targeted at his idea of creating a politcal party. He has a previous record of such offenses and was warned that a ban would be imposed if similar things happened in the future. Clearly he did not take the warning seriously, and must now find a new home willing to accept his tainted Name--and Blood. -Doc and Adrian Fontan has Taken over Bescanon! We figured that the Perdanites would attack...and at least try and break up the takeover, but we overestimated their love for the land they hold claims to. The Sirion Army has been on the field for over a week now, so our forces will have to move on back soon...Perdan obviously knows this, but they know what they're risking if they allow us to leave in one piece: Our Reserve Army that was splintered from the First Major defeat, several months ago, will finally be reunited...and they won't have to worry about the 32k army that sits in Bescanon now, but a 45k army...will they take that risk? Time will tell. -Doc ADVERTISEMENTS Expensive labourers driving your business into difficulty? Not happy with your naggy woman always striking down your ego?
