Evening Encounter
It has been over a month since the last clash between Oberhilse and Faraway, the truce was now over and both armies were still searching for a way to get over the river unopposed. Unfortunately for both armies, they each found what looked like a good place, the same place, and both moved the available troops to the location, at the same time.

It was a long march and both armies started arriving in the late afternoon. There might be a bit of skirmishing and probing before the day was over, but the main battle would have to wait until the armies were all up,the ground explored, and a battle plan formed.
