Toulmore marines seized many of the small colonies on the southern continent, sending a wave of refugees into
Y Waldfa, the Gwent founded Coftyran Crown Colony. The war has destabilized the precarious colonial situation.
The rise of a religious rebellion by the indigenous Coch Golau Quar adds to the mayhem.
Commonly called “The Pincs” due to their peculiar skin hue from eating mass quantities of the local shrimp,
the locals are restless. With all nations focused on the war at home, it falls to a mixed bag of ad hoc formations
to wage a low level campaign to control the distant colonies.
The Coftyran 44th Provisional Fusilier Brigade Field Force is responsible for the defense of Y Waldfa.
Caerten Sieffre Glyn has led a Catrawd of the 78th Honorable Exploration Society Of Coftyran (HESOC)
out of Porth Madryn and across the Dol Afron into no-Quar-land.
Keeping a small force under his direct command to guard the crossing, he has sent two understrength sections
to investigate reports of a Crusader supply cache.
Reports of Coftyran forces south of the river has brought a response from a weak Catrawd
of the 50th Toulmore Special Marine Expeditionary Force.

A fantastic battle. Despite having a massive advantage early on, the Coftyran's could not get the hits they needed. Once the Crusaders arrived with their shorter ranged, but higher rate of fire weapons, the tide turned.
