Daharra Strikes! Three more battles along the frontier!
Well, the title kind'a snuck up on me, not terribly original but it does have a ring to it. This post is mostly for my imagination campaign members, but others can read on and live vicariously through our efforts & shenanigans.
While the battle of Southbridge (17A23) took place and ended in a Daharran victory, other, smaller columns met at various border crossings.
The battles all take place simultaneously with a follow up fight to SouthBridge battle (17A18). The strategic situation is shown on the following map.
Red lines denote Daharran routes or blocking positions, blue represents the Empire forces. As you can see, the loss of the bridge in 17A23 has not allowed the central Daharran column much advantage, another defended river line must be crossed. Smaller actions are to be fought in 17A22 and 17A25. I realistically should come up with more place names for this area as there will be a bunch of battles here over the next several campaign moves.
The Daharran columns are distressingly close to an Empire city. Can they be stopped? Will the overland threat to the only base of the Daharran navy have any effect in the coming moves? How do the forces compare in the upcoming battles?
Of course, more later.

It would be splendid if I won them all, as well!
There won't be a battle post for a little while, we are doing a couple weeks of Stargrave as an intro to the system. The good news there is it gives me time for color on the K&K forces, local landmark names, etc.
Looking forward to updates when they happen!
I get the impression that the Daharran left hook has been successfully blocked, while the Empire's own left hook looks to be barely opposed, or have I interpreted it incorrectly?

As playing the Empire 'ruler' (at this point) I do confess to having a soft spot for flanking maneuvers.
