Having reorganized his forces, and not content to wait until next campaigning season to begin his moves, Peter II of Ferndalia has pushed his troops westward. Heartened by these reinforcements the Small-Platers in Hollandaise have bestirred themselves. Seeking to avoid an "invasion" from the north they have sent a blocking force to close the road from Hollandaise to Laphroaig. The balance of the combined army has moved to Veloute where it is equally well positioned to either strike at the capitol, Vienee, or at the stronghold of the Proper-Mealers in Bourguignonne. A victory in either direction would greatly advance the Small-Plater cause; the symbolic siezure of the seat of government, or the conquest of the home of the Gluttonian Infantry School (a truly formidable task as it is also the home of four Tercio Viejo). Peter II would certainly prefer to knock Bourguignonne out of the war and secure the entire Nantuan valley to his rear before embarking on a further advance into Gluttonia (he also covets the Nantuan valley for his own. It remains to be seen as to which ambition is satisfied.
