Assassins/Army of Shadows/Tiny South Bakker

Tiny Battle in South Bakker
An account by Evil Revan, Marshall of the Army of Shadows

This battle had no real importance in the war, but it really does reflect on the skills of the Wethams. I was wounded in a previous battle against Wetham, and my men were forced into battle without me. With over 4,000 CS of Wetham forces against a 125CS six-man unit, my men were actually able to charge the Wetham lines, with arrows raining down on their armor, and cause one casualty. Only one of my soldiers was actually killed in battle, although another died of his wounds a few days later. The rest recovered fully within a few days. A full-sized Wetham army can't manage to kill six men, kind of sad really......
