Rosferia has been met with victories after what looked to be a rather dark year was upon the nation. But through it all the citizens rode the storms and weathered the tempests. On September 20th, General Carian Duross and General Christophe Kellerman turned back the invading forces of Field Marshal Duke Ferdinand Brunswick at Valmy.
After advancing towards Cosnair, the Duke ended up having his rear cut off from Gradvar and forced to fight with the Rosferian capital to his back. After not making a serious effort to drive them off, the Duke called it a day and conceded defeat. The Gradvar Army has since retreated back into Gradvar and has abandoned the Fortresses of Dumont and Longwy, which have been returned to Rosferian possession.
In light of this success, Rosferia has taken the offensive and has launched invasions of both the Calgary Alliance and the Kingdom of Gradvar. The invasion of Calgary has gone remarkably well in light of things. The Army of the South has crossed into western Calgary and delivered several knockout punches that pretty much ensured the possession of much of western Calgary by Rosferia. Driving along the coast, the Rosferian troops met little resistance at first. Much of Calgary seemed welcoming of Rosferia, as they were said to have been fed up of Kostritz "protection."
On reaching the town of Oneglia, which was fortified by regular Calgary troops, a land assault was carried out while 9 warships of the Rosferian Cobalt Squadron moved in and effected a shore bombardment. Thanks to the efforts of the warships Thunderer, Apollo, Centaur, Commerce of Bordo, Destiny, Duguay-Trouin, Enterprise, Generous, and Hero, Oneglia fell rapidly and much of western Calgary passed into Rosferian control.
Today, October 2nd, General Adam Custine led an invasion force across Gradvar's border with the objective of capturing the main border fortress of Mainz on the Trine River. Surprising a border unit, Custine and his troops captured 3,000 Gradvarians and took the city of Speyer. Custine did not follow after Ferdinand directly, as doing so would have meant having to take the most heavily fortified city on the continent. Instead, Custine is invading Gradvar to the south of Ferdinand's retreat, and so far things seem to be going smoothly on that end.
Carian Duross is going to be heading up to Mordenz border again to attack Eastern Mordenz, the Kostritz controlled section of that nation. Western Mordenz has it's own Steward that rules in the name of Kostritz, though Kostritz has no active bases in Western Mordenz. Eastern Mordenz's Kostritz governor, Duke Albert, has laid siege to the Rosferian border fortress of Leal in an attempt to help out Ferdinand's invasion, though with the latter being completely over, it is unlikely that Albert will be able to maintain this siege once Duross arrives with his Army of the North.
On this date as well, the National Convention has passed a decree for the creation of a Committee of General Security, which will reform the police force of Cosnair and replace the now corrupt and useless Royal Police Force.
One September 22nd, Rosferia was officially proclaimed a republic, and Augustine XVI was removed from his throne by the Convention. The leopard's suspension of powers is now permanent, and it is likely he will stand trial at a future date. Sweeping changes, and sweeping success....the year may end on a good note after all!
