SMASHING VICTORY IN WYNFORD

Once again an ASI army - this time with Falasan and Darka support - bent on taking over the County of Wynford was attacked and repulsed by Abington. 93 nobles of the enemy forces commanded a total of 2,366 troops, against which the all-Abington army of 76 nobles commanding 1,866 soldiers bravely attacked under the overall command of Xuanye, High Marshal of Abington, Marshal of the army of Wayburg. The 5 hour battle included death, wounding and bravery beyond count.

Of course, no victory is without a price. Once again, Abington pays in blood for the greed of the Ash Sea Islands. And in Chasnoff, another foreign army marches toward our cities for the purposes of destruction and conquering. One wonders why so many nobles in so many realms are content to either sit back and watch it happen, or to actively incourage it. But one thing is clear - Abington, unlike her attackers, depends on no foreign realm for her victories.

Another Colony Attempt in Wayburg

In the ongoing war to tear as much meat off of Abington as possible, Minas Ithil has initiated another colony takeover of Wayburg - clearly Abington's most popular city. This is actually the second time in the past few days, with the People of Wayburg throwing off the first attempt. Whether this latest 'valiant mission' will succeed or not is, of course, a matter not settled.

In other news, a mostly Talerium force has been pillaging other lands, apparently just for the pure pleasure of smash-and-grab. At last count, this past month alone has seen almost 100 incidents of looting (including burning, raping and killing; not counting damaging military infrastructure) on the part of Abington's enemies. A conservative estimate would place the total number of lootings on part of the invasion forces at over 130 total since war began, but this journalist admits there are more important things to be doing than counting the dishonours of the enemy.
