WOW!!! This took a long time for me to get back to the blog. I was hampered by my phone's refusal to email pictures to my computer, or anyone else's. Now that I have got that fixed, I will be back to regular posts. While the post have been delayed the games have continued. With that said, on to the report.
With the Empire's success at stopping the United Packs Commonwealth and their Von Mutts allies at Niles, it was time to turn a tactical win into a strategic victory by destroying the retreating forces. With the Empire army in hot pursuit the UPC was forced to turn and fight. The Allie's goal was to save as much of the army, especially their artillery and Elites forces as possible.

A stunning defeat of the UPC. The cavalry fight was long and hard and while both sides gave as well as they took, the Empire cavalry was having great success at reorganizing, while the UPC could not. With the heavy loss of the Elite Cuirassier the strong defense was brought low by these.
