Riombara/The Great War

(Idea and layout shamelessly copied from Irombrozia - permission assumed)

During the Third Age:

First Campaign (June-July 1006)

Luz and Enweil attack us
Avalon attacks Fronen, preventing them supporting us
we loose Fwuvoghor to Enweil, but manage to hold off Luz at first.
We loose Ardmore to Luz
We loose Rueffilo and Bolkenia to Luz
Irombro seceeds, taking Rii and Bolkenia with them - Riombara is reduced to the isles.
Enweil makes peace with us, handing Melegra back
Luz takes Rii from Irombro

During the first campaign we loose Fwuvoghor and all of our southlands due to fighting against odds of 2:1 and Irombros secession. Riombara is halved in size.

For a similar account centered around Irombrozia, look here: The Irombrozian Honour War.

Fronen steadily gains against Avalon
Enweil attacks Plergoth - their own creation
we attack Ardmore - defeat. We manage to kill enough Luzian soldiers to enable Irombro some breathing space
Fronen makes peace with Avalon, reducing Avalon significantly.
Fwuvoghor seceeds from Enweil, enabling allied reinforcements to reach us
Avalon helps Luz to assault Irombro (17.000 CS), but retreats afterwards.
Fronens first wave arrives. We attack Ardmore (18.000 CS against 20.000 CS) - defeat
we attack Ardmore again - defeat

During the second campaign we manage to hold on, even giving the Irombrozians some breathing space.
Globally, a large alliance is forming against Enweil due to their attack against Plergoth: Old Grehk, Plergoth, Sint and Thalmarkin against Enweil and Mesh, with Fronen and Riombara focused against Luz.

23.000 CS attack Luz' entrenched 19.000 CS in Ardmore - and finally we break their defense. We have 14.000 CS left and start a TO of Ardmore. Luz still has 7.000 CS in Irombro, suppressing the Irombrozians.
Fronen attacks into Rueffilo
Luz retreats from Irombro
after 5 days our TO is successfull (Sept 24) - Ardmore is ours again. Due to the claims being installed when the war started, it is now Luz who has a claim on Ardmore, not us...
Luz recruits massively in Grehk - 19.000 mobile CS

After part of our forces did leave Ardmore, Luz attacks: 17.000 CS against 13.500 of ours. We loose. Losses 9.000 of ours (plus 2.000 more to come) against 7.500 of Luz. Luz does start a hostile Takeover
As a result of the 5th battle, Luz takes control of Ardmore on Sept 30th and attacks into Avengmil on Oct 3rd with 15.000 CS. We retreat, but 4000 CS are lost.
Oct 4th: We immediately counterattack (9.000 against 12.000 CS), but are beaten. The following turn we manage to drive off the invaders (11.000 against 11.000 CS), beating them clearly.
Oct 5th: An advance force of ours strikes into Ardmore, pursuing the beaten Luzians: 4000 against 4000, but as the Luzians are already battleweary we score a clear victory. An Avalonian army is sighted in Grehk.
Oct 6th: Our and Fronens main army (3rd wave) reaches Ardmore - a TO is started.
Oct 8th: Avalon is arrayed against Iormbrozia in Bolkenia. If they attack it will most probably mean war between Fronen and Avalon again.
