>>5897157 Punitive war against the newtsNewtonian soldiers are captured and traded for compensation for the harm they did to you. Your military might dwarves their own.
>>5896891>>5896550Ashirivo - mutiny. The act of mass murder of both lower and upper class goes against the principles of the peasant republic. One targetted strike within a camp escaped nobles, an assasination that’s one thing, but a genocide? An eternal salting of the earth is a whole other.
Plain and simpel your soldiers refuse the order of using Asbestos to poison the waters and this very actions results in widespread dessertions and even defections. Still the threats prove useful, some border villages agree to switch sides. The rest are bombed. The mass defection and plai refusal of orders halt the advance in the RoB north as the army needs to reorganize. Esoecially as only this far in a guerilla camapign from the locals has already begun chipping away at them.
the Ashirivan army further sees themselves stripped of supplies. Food, gunpowder and refinforcements are not arriving, all slaughtered on the way to the camp. Whatever haunted them before continues too do so. (secure supply lines or your army will be strnded by next turn)
On the naval front using merchant vessels is plainly foolish. Slow and heavy these cargo ships are merely targeting practice for enemy canons, still they did buy the RoB enough time to evacuate their elite navy from port and hide with it among the waves.
The Peil navy then coperates like pirates managing to seize a few Ashirivan vessels for themselves they may figure out how to use. (2-3 ships)
Due to the delay from the foot army, the Ashirivan navy seizes the port, but is cautious to advance further. Peil also has had their coal and iron mine sized as such RoB can’t roll out guns next turn, as production has been occupied.
