Battle of Volkswald Broad

The Battle of Volkswald Broad was a battle between Andrometon Village and The People's Order Axis.

Prelude
Andrometon researchers were scouting the region of Volkswald (the forest east of Der Volksbestellung) for intelligence purposes. The Cartographer wanted more specific information on the area so he could continue his map, dissatisfied with the given data for the southeast. They never returned.

Days later, Andrometon sent soldiers to investigate. Seeing the armed presence in their sphere of control, Der Volksbestellung sent their own soldiers to confront them, telling them to leave. The Andromedan soldiers stood their ground, demanding to know what happened to the researchers. This escalated into a battle.

Battle
The fighting began on Volkswald Broad, the plains area next to Volkswald Forest. Although Andrometon were far superior in their military might, the People's Order were situated much closer to the battleground, meaning that they only had to deliver their supplies a few hundred metres away, Andrometon's supply line was very much spread out, as they had to go the entire way around a mountain range to supply their soldiers and deliver new soldiers to the battleground.

Result
Andrometon eventually won the battle by a hair's breadth. Casualties on both sides were extensive. Andrometon saw 70 casualties and Der Volksbestellung lost 73, cripplingly stunting the growth of both villages, as they both lost a substantial proportion of their men.

The Volkswald Memorial Cemetery was built by Andrometon to house their dead. The People's Order cremated all of their fallen in a mass ceremony.
