Prelude
Shadowfoxian Border Incident
The 13th Taydrostian Infantry, consisting of Taydrostia's emperor and co-leader, station themselves in the North Haven Colony. They send an image of themselves inside the colony, and is leaked to Schpecktenia. Schpecktenia sends the 24th Clature Division Brigade to confront them. The Taydrostians go into Schpecktenian land, and burn documents. They left the area upon hearing Schpecktenia's arrival, and leave a helmet on a stick to scare them. The 24th Clature Division Brigade, consisting of just Ruby I, arrive in Shadowfoxia, and believe the helmet on a stick is Aydin Fisk. Ruby I fires at the helmet, only to find that the Taydrostians left a few minutes ago. Ruby I goes into an unnamed Shadowfoxian settlement and finds the burned documents, showing that Taydrostia violated the Halloween Truce by going into Schpecktenian territory. Schpecktenia posts the video of Rudolph I's body cam to YouTube, to prove the violation of the treaty.
Battles
Schpecktenia and Taydrostia signed the Safety Agreement, stating that both sides will not engage in foul play.
Day 1
First Skirmish
The 13th Taydrostian Infantry is extremely under supplied, so they station only one sniper in the eastern thick woods, until they get reinforcements. Two 4th Stallionisch Infantry soldiers set out to find and eliminate the sniper. The two go though the northern woods, and return back to their camp after finding no sign of the sniper. When at the camp, they spot the sniper running through the field. They quickly chase after him, only to be left out in the open. The sniper takes out the two Schpecktenian soldiers.
Second Skirmish
The 1st Imperial Rifle Unit, consisting of just Rudolph I, arrives in Shadowfoxia after getting supplies, this time the 13th Taydrostian Infantry is accompanied by Taydrostia's co-leader, Michael Scholz. Ruby I crosses into Taydrostian claims, and meets no resistance. Ruby I heads back to the camp, only to find the Taydrostians waiting for him. He waits in the thick woods for backup, which wouldn't arrive for eight minutes.
Third Skirmish
The 4th Stallionisch Infantry arrives replenished, and the 13th Taydrostian Infantry flees. Ruby I stays hidden, and meets back with the 4th Stallionisch Infantry. The Schpecktenian forces advance east, and get all the way to the very edge of Taydrostia's land claims. They take fire from the 13th Taydrostian Infantry, Ruby I gets injured, but still move towards the Taydrostians. The 4th Stallionisch Infantry is taken out completely, and Ruby I retreats back to the camp, and stays there for the rest of the battle.
Last Skirmish
The 13th Taydrostian Infantry advances slowly, due to weaponry issues. Schpecktenian forces fire at them, and the Taydrostian's rifles quit working entirely. One Taydrostian throws a grenade, misses, and is shot. The remaining Taydrostian soldier in the woods surrenders to the Schpecktenians. He is captured, and is revealed to be Michael Scholz. Schpecktenian forces take their non-functioning weapons, and execute Scholz. The rest of the 13th Taydrostian Infantry retreat due to being out of ammo and their best geared soldiers being eliminated.
Day 2
On 6 November 2023, after the capture of Fisk, the 13th Taydrostian Infantry attempts to make a last victory. They arrive in Shadowfoxia, and Rudolph I quickly calls on the New Prussian Reichsheer to defeat Taydrostia. The Reichsheer arrives, and the 13th Taydrostian Infantry opens fire. After only 18 minutes, the Taydrostians are defeated.
