SIN’s DML has picked up another key siege break for SIN, extending Unbow’s unlikely siege losing streak. SIN officials provided details of the final hit that destroyed the siege, which was purportedly weakened within hours of it landing:

Two opposing forces clash against each other.

Attacking up a small hill offers little advantage, or penalty, to the attacking force.

Defences with a height advantage, however small, are better than nothing.

SIN officials describe the siege as particularly lackluster, including about 60,000 spears and just 20 catapults. For DML, he has picked up 3 of the 4 4 siege breaks for SIN. For Unbow, the alliance has still yet to successfully siege a SIN city since its foundation on January 31st, 2016. Unbow/SHARK/VIC have not successfully sieged SIN since December 11th, 2015 when it razed He-Man in Kul-Tar — one of only 5 razes total for the confederacy in this war.

Snellman appears to have moved the city after the siege was broken, however, a blockade remains on his other town.

Unbow Attempts New Siege on SiN’s Snellman in Oarnamly

Unbow is once again challenging SIN’s enclave in Oarnamly, with a new siege on Snellman in potentially favorable terrain. The Herald is reporting details of the new operation in its siege section:

Snellman [SIN] Rorikstead [-200|-2074] in Oarnamly Spektor [Unbow] Fri 08 Apr 11:08

The siege itself is set up on a lake, which serves a small hill. There are two other small hills as well, which could serve to host blockades. Small hills are a relatviely neutral terrain that reduces the potency of cavalry strikes, potentially6 giving Spector to pick up a much-needed siege for the likes of Unbow.

At present, there is little else known about the operation, however, the Times also noted a blockade inside a building in another nearby Snellman city. A formidable blockade in a building could potentially pin the city from exodusing away from a siege.
