The Austram War

[Bogie]

Awesome! I really need to get a campaign going.

War in the Fading Suns world is very asymmetrical. A celebrated Emperor Wars commander could be helpless against a slightly technologically advanced noble with some support of the guild. Barron Otto could be launching waves of masted sailing ships full of men across the straight, loosing some to a lone submarine, loosing men on the beaches to attacks from strafing runs from flitters and suffering horrible losses in the jungles to Muster Mercs coordinating attacks with an aerial spotter. With 25,000 dead in just a few years of engagement it's probably not a very noble war and it's likely getting desperate on both sides, those islands just don't support a very huge population in a feudal society. I'd expect the shape of the war now is guerrilla actions against civilian targets and assassination efforts.
