Battle of Talesim
Wolsey, Gilbradia
1817
Correspondence of Brigadier Arthur Pellam, Wolsey, The Empire of Gilbradia,
Colonel Marvin Hawkins, Port Cersin, Seljuk Sultanate
...
irregardless of what transpired in that god-forsaken valley, Marvin, the King is weary of committing overwhelming forces to the Sultan's cause. The memory of the Gilbradian-Seljuk war lingers yet in the minds of his Majesty's Subjects (and the King Himself, God-Save-Him). Fortunately your expedition into Terkavian territory was a success both militarily and morally. The 22nd is famous Marvin, thanks to the Wolsey Times and the Foreign Office. Stories of your 'heroic' encounter in the Talesim Valley are spreading like wildfire. This is a good distraction from the 'colonial' situation...
...your being reinforced Colonel Marvin; immediately. You are given overall command for the time being. The 22nd will be joined by 18th and 37th with fresh supplies of ammunition, food and 8 more cannon. The Takervians bows & arrows will be met with a hail of his Majesty's finest cannon & musket-fire Colonel... Forces en-route to Port Cersin, Seljuk Sultanate:The Regiments are to fortify their position, with regular patrols to secure the area. Expeditions into Takervian territory must be limited, with only precise objectives in mind. If possible lure the enemy onto a favorable battleground and destroy him. Where possible, commit native militia to battle first, saving His Majesty's Troops for decisive and important victories..
