The Spheniscan forces are relived to find that the only enemy to be found here is a particularly violent and randy ram. The Spheniscan Commander enjoys the ram later that night...for food, of course. There will always be malicious gossip from the citadel after all... The Spheniscan Republic...

The die is now cast! The hostile forces do not decide to charge down the Spheniscan forces are they re-adjust their position, Hetman Okurz statting that is "Rude to interrupt your enemy while he is making a state. He sits astride his great war horse, observing the Spheniscan maneuvering. "See...

The great formation halts and begins to quickly re-form into defensive formations - the sign of a professional army. The only problem is, yet again, the lack of supply. The archers have already spent most of their arrows, nullifying their impact. The table formation itself is strong, but lacks...

THE BATTLE OF THE OKARRA STRAIT The Spheniscan initial cavalry archer raids is reasonably ineffectual due to lacking numbers. The massed wall of spears and infantry advance headlong towards to Militia line, who are flanked by two companies of fierce tribal spearmen. The enemy sees the massed...

The Warlords leave the lands behind them and march further and further away from home, rumours of disgruntled states are naught but the "jabberings of peasants and womenfolk" to the Warlords. The locals here are also miners, but not of iron. They mine precious metals - mercury, platinum and...

Emperor Cenna need not worry about gold, for here be there diamonds! The locals here are well skilled in their extraction with small mining communities throughout the region. The Caledonian Empire has gained a small but invaluable source of diamonds and a basic amount of taxable citizens...

There is wood, and lots of it! A great supply of lumber to help rebuild the citadel for sure. The French-Slavs have gained a medium sized state producing a good amount of lumber.

KING ROOK THE FLASH, FIRST OF HIS NAME, HAS BEEN EXECUTED Live at the Execution! King Rook the Flash was his own worst enemy. Self-righteous, arrogant, and unscrupulous; he had a lust for wealth and avarice that was beyond compare. His troubles began the moment he began his lust for diamonds...

The fine city of York, renowned for it's city walls, Great Cathedral and vibrant riverways built upon the wealth of ahem *diamonds* welcomes the Brittean Army. The Archbishop of York invites the Brittean Commander to a great service at York Minster in which he proclaims Region as a protectorate...

Barton de Humber is all too keen to sign such generous terms. He thanks you for sparing his life...oh, and that of the men too, of course. The Brittean Government has shown excellent judgement both militarily and diplomatically in this scenario, and THE MOD OF WAR determines that he should...

Barton de Humber looks out from the earth walls, then back to the far side of the village which is now aflame. "Damn these fiends and their fire. They are everywhere. We cannot hold. All is lost, can't ye see? We are all damned unless we surrender". A white flag is raised above the Earthen...

"More bloody cows," groans a common foot soldier "all we ever conquer is bloody cows!" The Warlords are pleased. The peasantry are affable in a scared, unintelligent way and the cows certainly look meaty. Indeed, this is as fine a place as any the Warlords have come across, providing ample...

News of Spheniscan brutality has spread far and wide, nobody dare resist or speak out in dissent. One slimy toadie, Yakub Degajh, the local Hetman, grovels before the Spheniscan commander, his hands full of gold. "Take this, please, it is a gesture of my goodwill, and my goodwill is that of the...

Brittean intelligence has already learnt that a small hostile force is in the region, and so have come more prepared to fight than their previous naval disembarkment. The Brittean forces disembark on a sand bar unimpinged. The land is muddy and soft, so initial progress is slow. The hostile...
