The Rebel Lands Campaign, Episode 6: A Chance Encounter

Dietrich von Spülge had a hard week. He had to rally the north-western Rebel countryside to draw more troops to supplement his own. He finally managed to gather a force large enough to begin maneuvers on the Medvetland Corps of Observation. 

His army camped near Ebugatta Crossroads, a junction between the northern cities and the southern plain of the country, when his outriders reported that the Medvetland force was within a day's march, and very much stretched thin. It was the chance of a lifetime for von Spülge to prove himself. He ordered the army to march out and intercept the enemy.

The next dawn his army was arrayed across the road next to a minor settlement called Komlóverő Major, and the head of the Medvetland column, tired after forced marches, had to accept the fight.
