RoE Archive > Boer vs. Avan

Turn #67 - Avanil

(1/10) > >>

DM B:
The Westerners strike quick and hard - like the Spear of Cuiarécen - straight into the belly of the beast.

From Tuor's Hold they come, falling upon Caulnor with great fury. The defenders amount to little more than militia - they are swept away in a tide of blood and fire. Many outlying towns and villages fall without much of a fight - those that surrender are spared, those that resist are mercilessly butchered and then put to the torch. The larger towns and castles are well defended, however, and refuse to go down without a fight. They are quickly invested by infantry before the host sweeps on, down to Daulton, capital of Avanil. By the end of the first week of summer Boer cavalry stand before the gates.

DM B:
Several smaller towns and numerous villages have been seized by the invaders, their inhabitants killed, their valuables and consumables taken, and the settlements torched. This is repeat itself in province Daulton and surroundings. The invaders are staying away from castles, major walled towns and strongpoints, so it's purely a terror strategy. Creates additional confusion, making it very heard to get any reliable intelligence out of the area.

In Avanil the weather is fair. Excellent cavalry weather. It will not take many days to reach Daulton if you rush...but there is the issue of the Boer armies - where are they? And relatedly; what about Tuornen? They came from there, perhaps Tuornen represents a threat to your flank?
