Minas Ithil has attacked the region of Shiverwood. The initial attack was disrupted by the arrival of some Barony of Makar troops. Only one MI unit pressed the attack, and the BoM unit joined the defending Norlander troops. Seeing the BoM troops attacking their countrymen they launched a second attack and drove the defenders from the field. Rough counts from the second attack show about twice as many wounded and dead among the Barony and Norland troops.
Meanwhile Norland has attacked Mansbridge unsuccessfully once again. Minor damage to the walls was done as well as some minor casualties among the defenders. Norland attacked with 363 men against the nearly 800 defenders. Casualties for Norland were 237 while Minas Ithil had casualties of 71.

Norland attacked Mansbridge this morning. The attackers were repelled successfully but a large number of siege engines were seen in the battle causing heavy damage to the fortifications.
Norland attacked with 1192 troops, mostly infantry with a few archers and cavalry against the 1326 defenders. At the end of the battle Norland had casualties of 861 men and Minas Ithil had casualties of 332.
A costly battle for Norland, though it was noted that Norland's forces showed an unusual buildup before the attack.
