Known for its fractious micro states the Border Princes is home to many bellicose principalities such as the Duchy of Ibar, who in our campaign has marched against its dwarf neighbors laying siege to the Iron Rock fortress, a once dwarf hold in the World's Edge Mountains
Behind their walls the stout warriors of Karaz a Karak await the onslaught
looking stoically as waves of human mercenaries march into view
Over the advancing army all kind of warmachines trade shots, including a delicious halfling hot pot!
Joined by quarellers and handgunners on both sides of the wall
At last concentrated fire destroys a dwarven catapult, mortar shells and soup cauldrons taking care of the organ gun too
The humans reach the wall and up they go, only to be routed by the hammerers manning the ramparts
While on the blown up doors a small group of humans makes a suicidal charge against a resolute block of elite warriors
Thing go for bad to worse for the besieger when his grand cannon blows up
And the mortar gets a bullseye on top of the pikemen block
Finally the duke of Ibar manages to open the gates
Joined in the fight by some elite greatswords
But too few in number and facing an impenetrable defenece the humans break ranks and escape back to friendlier lands
For their part the dwarves inverted their time into attacking the imperials on the Badlands, an unprovoked aggression which is sure to stir Karl Franz to war
