Wars of Western Expansion

The opening battles of this conflict showed how little the Franberry - Jamminberry alliance knew about war. The first thrusts into Fotkorl territory were met with failure, as units quickly retrated back into civillised territory. The only things that were saving the army from total destruction was steel weapons (swords and muskets), but apart from that the Fotkorl had more men, better knowledge of the area and war and some excellent leaders. About a year of defeats passed before the Army's first true victory over the Fotkorl, The Battle of Janpol, were the army, re-trained by foreing experts smashed a much larger Fotkorl host. After the battle, the army started to expand slowly into native territorry, with colonist establishing towns and cities not far behind the army's sweep. It would take 18 more years, some more defeats and much more victories until the last symbol of the strength of the Fotkorl fell, their capital of Vaan. The Battle of Vaan was a grueling 2 month process, in the spring of 1621, which singalled victory for the Franberry-Jamminberry alliance.Catergory: Military of Franberry
