Prelude
After the first initial skirmishes between the Principality of Sedan and the Holy Orenian Empire, the commanders of Sedan sought a way to score a victory over the forces of the Imperial State Army. It was soon discovered that a force of Imperial Infantry had been camping out nearby the Imperial town of Southbridge near Eastfleet. Eager to engage the Imperials in combat, the Sedanite commanders called a rally that was roughly 2,000 strong and began the march to Southbridge. This force was placed under the command of Alexander de Joannes, who sent scouts ahead to evaluate the overall strength of the Imperial garrison. After getting a rough estimate of Imperial numbers, Alexander concluded that an assault of the town itself would be unbeneficial and draw up plans to lure the Imperial army out of Southbridge and onto the nearby field. For some unknown reason, roughly 800 of the main Sedanite army was sent home back to Sedan. Despite this numerical loss, Alexander pressed on with the men he had.
