The Kingdom of Atenveldt is Hosting a Tri-Kingdom Military Event at Burro Creek on "Presidents Day" Weekend in February. There will be a $1.00 per person gate fee to cover expenses.
Once more, the Kingdoms of Atenveldt, and the West celebrated St. Valentine's Day by marching their armies to Burro Creek to exchange tokens of affection. While the weather was auspicious, most people were dismayed upon arrival, to find that most of the campground occupied by mundane RVs, filled with people who had drive up to 1400 miles to watch the war. Somehow, all 350 people found places without pitching their tents in the middle of the road, although this was considered.
Opening court presented the heralds with the challenge of speaking for 3 kings, 2 queens, 2 princes and 2 princesses. Compliments and insults were duly exchanged, and all prepared for the business at hand. Since the Western and Caidan armies each numbered about 35, they allied to face the vast Aten horde, which numbered over 70. While the Westerners proved to be valiant allies, the problem of a divided command would soon become apparent.
Caid took the right wing for the field battle, and it soon became apparent that the main attack would fall on the West. A force had been detached to keep Caid occupied, which was attacked and virtually destroyed. Unfortunately it was too late to save the West and our army was not able to stem the Aten onslaught.
The next battle was to be an "ambush." but any army that expects to be ambushed will NOT be ambushed, and the primary result of this attempted ambush was that the allied armies wer deployed too far apart to support each other and were destroyed.
