Battle for Bogavania - Battle of Traitors

The Hillmen again showed their unreliability, this time for Beerstein as a unit of azemen did not even bother to stay for the battle and a unit of spearmen after initial battle honours against Fezian cavalry changed sides only to be largely mown down by Beerstein crossbows, canon and catapult fire.

The Bogavanians began with great determination, pushing into the Beersteiner lines before they could even emerged from the woods. The Beersteiners even contemplated retreat but their king was present and entered the battle to aid some longbowmen against the Fezian knights. The Fezian companies have long proven themselves as reliable allies of the Bogavanians. However, they were wiped out this battle by a determined defence by the Beersteiners.

Ultimately the Beersteiners had destroyed more Bogavanian units although scoring know territorial gains so the game was declared a draw and the remainders may fight another battle soon.
