SIN Turns Up Heat on Stomps With New Josh Siege in High Hills

A fresh SIN siege against the BL land claim-breaking alliance Stomp has landed in the Broken Lands, the second in as many days, signaling an increase in siege operations for the claimers after a relative lull. After Fiona’s siege set up camp at Ron Fay’s mobile city of La Villa Strangiato late last night, the new SIN siege — this time against Josh’s PublicRelations account — posted early this morning, server time, in the Herald:

Player Being Sieged: PublicRelations [Stomp] City: inconspicuously charming [524|-1862] in High Hills Sieger: Tink XX [SIN] Date/Time: Sun 19 Jul 05:00
Player Being Sieged: PublicRelations [Stomp] City: inconspicuously charming [524|-1862] in High Hills Sieger: Tink XX [SIN] Date/Time: Sun 19 Jul 05:00

The perfectly-timed sieges by Tink XX, one of SIN’s field commanders according to their profile page, have set up on a large hill and small forest next to the city of inconspicuously charming. The large forest offers ample defensive coverage for infantry, and given dwarven infantry’s particular potency, Tink XX’s forest siege would appear to be well guarded if she is an infantry builder. The large hill — to this point a rarity in battle terrain for the Stomp/Claimers war — favors spears and ranged weapons on defense.

A few hours later, the Times noted the appearance of a blockade on the city as well, which will hamper’s Josh’s efforts to supply the city once bombardment begins.

Meanwhile, over at La Vila Strangiato, a blockade has joined the siege.

Defending against two sieges will prove to be a daunting task for Stomp, however, the recent flurry of Stomp exoduses into Pawanallpa are likely to help native Pawanallpians Agalloch and Valdorum mount siege breaking operations. At present, the battlefields are not showing dropped crafted gear (with the exception of the western square at La Villa Strangiato, which doesn’t appear to be in the fight). La Villa Strangiato may be salvagable for Stomps, but Josh’s High Hills city could be a bit too far out of reach and too favorable for sieging terrain-wise to make it possible.
