May 17 1832, Orthodox troops marched towards the Capital of the Protestants, Hablisi. Devasted and outnumbered the Protestants held for one final last stand at a nearby hill, which is later to be know as, Glank Hill. They set up serveral defenses on the hill, digging trenches and using wooden logs as main cover. 12,000 were dugged in, tired, hungry and many only had 5 to 10 rounds left, and they had to face, a stronger and well equiped Orthodox Army, almost 5 times their size. Genreal Glank Tibein, commander of the Protestant troops on the hill told the men, "do it for god, lets fight and die for him, for the enemies are not true followers of his word." At around 0730 hrs, the horns blew, the battle of Glank Hill has begun.
The Battle
First Wave
Flbes Junelski and Dmlov Tutov's armies attacked, launching an attack on the hill on the front and left flank of it. Instantly the Orthodox troops knew that this was not going to be easy. Protestant troops came out of well entrenched positions firing their weapons, before ducking down again to reload. Also unlike their protestant counterparts, they had to climb uphill, and had to fire at them up hill as well, thus decreasing accuracy. However their protestant enemies had problems of their own too. They lacked the ammuniation and wanted every single shot count, therefore were only ordered to fire if they could see a clear face of the enemy. However, buy 0820 hrs, the Orthodox troops were unable to break through the lines of defenses, and fell back.
