Battle of Gandius

The Battle of Gandius was a conflict between the Kingdom of Alaftharia and the Gandius Tribe of Karamja.

Prelude
Early in Year 42, King Owen III of Alaftharia discovered a conspiracy by rogue gnomes to launch an invasion on humankind. The gnomes had built a large shipyard and had hired the Gandius Tribe of Karamja to labor for them. Owen personally prevented the conspiracy. Later, Owen decided that he wanted the shipyards of Gandius under his control, both to prevent another conspiracy and as an asset. He subsequently issued a declaration of war on Gandius.

Battle
Alaftharia began their invasion with a cannon barrage into the shipyard to destroy possibly seaworthy vessels. They then began a landing process by launching rowboats from the frigates. A wave of infantry was followed by a wave of rangers. As the boats approached the shore, tribesmen poured from the jungle. The wave of rangers launched volleys of arrows over the heads of the infantry to clear a landing area. The infantry disembarked and engaged the tribesmen, the Alaftharians' armor and more advanced weapons providing a large advantage over the tribesmen' unprotected torsos and bronze spears. Victory was quickly assured to the invaders as the tribesmen withdrew into the jungle.

Aftermath
The full Alaftharian force remained for another day to set up defenses for the shipyard. On 17 Wintumber, 4 legions departed, leaving behind 1 legion of infantry and one legion of rangers.
