JOSH 1, AGA 0: YARR Razes TUF Leader in Protracted Desert Siege

The Pirate Republic has scored a major siege victory in its war with TUF, with BL military veteran Josh razing TUF leader and Broken Lands warlord Agalloch in a protracted, hotly-contested siege in the scorched deserts of Pawanallpa that concluded on Wednesday morning. Early this morning, YARR officials posted the details of the successful siege to the Times:

.Megadeth, belonging to Agalloch which was located at 731|-1734 has been razed by PublicRelations.

The siege on Megadeth began in the early hours of May 16. While the siege only took two days to complete, it was reportedly a contentious operation that was contested by Agalloch breaking small blockades, meeting direct attacks on the city with equipped elites, and prestige building heavily to keep the city from collapsing. a player with detailed knowledge of the battle claims that Josh’s storm force “practically walked right in,” indicating that Megadeth was out of troops — a claim that Agalloch himself even eluded to at times in GC.

In comments to the Times, Josh noted that: “Agalloch did a good job clearing blockades until we started doing rotating blockades and timing it really well,” adding that “credit goes to Walnut, a new player in Yarr who has done an awesome job in the war so far and we are very impressed with him.”

JOSH VERSUS AGA: Heavyweight Desert Smackdown Between YARR & TUF Continues

YARR and TUF are once again engaged in a high-energy battle in the deserts of Pawanallpa, with one of TUF leader Agalloch’s cities taking center stage. Nearly 24 hours ago, YARR initiated a major siege on Agalloch, with one of the Pirate republic’s leading military players leading the charge.

Known by his iconic PublicRelations and HumanResources accounts, Josh has made his mark as one of the most active and prolific fighters in the Broken lands, as has Agalloch. Even more interesting is the fact that both enemy combatants served together in both Stomps and SHARK. Now, they find themselves on opposite ends of the battlefield, fighting a draining battle that could potentially usher in the endgame of the war, depending on how willing both sides are to push all-in with troops.

A source with knowledge of the battle say that Agalloch de-leveled the city early on to make it more difficult to raze, and has done everything he can to keep the population from dropping, ostensibly using prestige. While the source would not share information about the composition or state of the siege, they did note that numerous clearing attempts have already been made using elites, and that Agalloch in turn has responded with elite defense, making for several elite-on-elite battles. It is not known at this time if Agalloch is dodging a large city force, or whether he has few city forces left and is using them in elite configurations in desperation.

The city of Megadeth has an interesting history, as it was a center of activity in the Death/TUF-Tuna war. Kratos sieged the city on January 25, 2016, which went on to be broken by the warlord Agalloch himself. For Aga, that was his fifth unanswered siege break in a row in that war, and his alliance went on to it, with peace being established just a week later on February 1, 2016

Agalloch on Fire! Head Tuna Siege Breaks 5th Death Siege

Tuna leader and TUF co-founder Agalloch has served as a one-man wrecking crew against Death’s siege attempts, racking up his fifth siege break in a war that is only six days old. News of the most recent siege break came by way of an eyewitness who noted the break around 8:15 am server time this morning. Later on, Agalloch himself took credit for the siege break in comments on the Times: “Make that 5 siege on Mega is dead.”

The broken siege of Megadeth is actually the second one, the first having been initiated by Death member Muad’Duab and also broken by Agalloch on January 23, 2016.

So far, the Death/TUF-Tuna war has been marked by multiple sieges and siege breaks on the same towns. Death has already sieged Agalloch’s Megadeth and Gwen’s “going to stand my ground” twice.

This latest siege break brings TUF-Tuna to 6 siege breaks and 1 raze for a total of 8 points on the War Score Card. Death has 2 siege breaks and 0 razes for a total of 2 points.

The Death/TUF-Tuna war is moving so quickly that some cities are already experiencing their second round of sieges. After Gwen’s city of “going to stand my ground” was re-sieged by Death earlier, the Pawanallpa alliance once again has targeted one of Agalloch’s cities.

This siege appears to be a rematch of the first siege on the city, which was reportedly broken by Agalloch on January 23rd.

Little is known about the composition of these sieges. While they are said to real sieges with multiple catapults and reinforcements, they are also likely small camps given their brief lifecycles. Since these ops are being planned on the fly, it remains to be seen how effective any of them will be in taking down cities.

We’ve also received late word that the second siege on “going to stand my ground” has been broken again. Reports indicate that TUF’s Smash lived up to his namesake and smashed Curmudgeon’s siege on Gwen.

Tuna Strikes First Blood With Raze Amid Flurry of Siege Breaks

A flurry of siege breaks over the weekend by Death and TUF-Tuna were overshadowed by Agalloch, who racked up the first official raze in the explosive, new Pawanallpa war. The Times was able to confirm that Agalloch’s siege of Kratos’ city of Hamunaptra was razed earlier today, server time. The siege battle pitted the respective field commanders of the two warring alliances against one another, with the contentious first siege likely to lead to further rounds as this war quickly progresses.

In addition to this raze, there has been numerous siege breaks on both sides as well. The siege on Gwendalynn’s [TUF] city of going to stand my ground [871|-1741] in Pawanallpa by Kratos [Death] was broken by Agalloch, who also broke a siege on his own city of .Megadeth.

For Death, the siege on Kratos’ city of xanthia was broken by Curmudgeon today.

A quick review of the War Score Card reveals that Agalloch and Kratos have largely been at the center of action, however, other alliance members are beginning to make key contributions to their alliances’ respective war efforts as well.
