After the battle, the situation at the end of 1619

     Having won the battle the Proper Meal faction was in position to drive their foes into submission. The Freedonian generals suggested that the Proper-Mealers should chase the Ferndalian and Hollandaise troops eastwards and the Freedonian troops would see to the Small-Platers from the south and west. The weary but stalwart Tercios followed the retiring Ferndalains with determination but weather and hunger prevented them from overtaking the fleeing enemy. Along the way they took the nearly defenseless town of Veloute. From there they learned that Nantua had been captured by Ferndalain troops that had marched along the seacoast from Roquefort. To the universal dismay of the Proper-Meal faction the Freedonian "pursuit" of their enemy was so dissolute that not only did the enemy manage to return to their hometowns but a wandering band of troops from Buerre Noir captured Rouille almost by mistake. Having lost their prey the Freedonians retired to Buerre Noir to "remain in supply from home" (and certainly not because of the famous cooking school located in that town!). The following maps show the state of developments

      The end of the year finds the interior of the country entirely in Proper-Meal hands (except for the central part of the capital) while the Small-Platers are confined to coastal enclaves and the one Ferndalian intrusion into Hollandaise. The armies have settled down into winter quarters but there will certainly be smaller actions fought out in the frozen landscape.
