Battle of Small manor field

Battle of Small manor field was the first battle of the Worvian Revolutionary War, in which the forces of the Free Worvian Army faced off the Army of Jimrock.
== Background ==
In 90, after the Bearsden wreckage, Samuel had enough. He gathered all the tavern drunkards and many of his fellow bums to revolt with him. He traveled all across the Urban areas in the north to see if there were anyone willing to fight. In the end he mustered a force of 3,000 men. It was more than enough. About 1,000 of those men were trained regulars of the old Worvian Garrison. Samuel also got King Levi to join him in his revolt.
== Deployment ==
At 12 am the battle began. Though Levi was with him, Samuel was the commander. Levi was only an ceremonial commander. Samuel assigned Levi to the back row to minimize his chances of dying. He deployed himself with most of his troops in the center. He was accompanied by his very own 1st FWA Regiment "Drunkards". In his battalion was also the General of the old Worvian garrison, Marc. He placed the second battalion behind him with most of their ranged units. He deployed Lord Samuel's battalion to the right flank of the army. Lastly he deployed Lord Miro's battalion on top of a mountain in the left flank, ready to flank the IGG.
Tyran Lassi Luovi of the IGG has had very little experience in battle. He only knew how to oppress the populace. He placed two of his minor battalions in the front commanded by Tyran Komnenoi. And his other battalions behind a river.
== The Battle ==
Lassi was very indecisive, not knowing should he go on the offensive. He had less troops than Samuel. Lassi decided to poke the FWA forces with his skirmish forces. Samuel instantly responded with his own unit as well as ordered Marc to flank the IGG forces. The flanking attack was a major success and the skirmishers routed instantly. Though Kumonoi tried to hold his ground.
Lassi decided to push rest of his forces to charge Samuel's lines. During the IGG charge, Lord Miro charged his own unit down the mountain. Miro's charge was cut short as a small force intercepted him behind the river. King Levi decided to join the fray and commanded a charge towards Tyran Lassi's own unit. The reserve forces of Workhold attacked alongside Levi. Levi clashed with Tyran Lassi. Lassi and Levi dueled, with Lassi emerging victorious, as he managed to dismount and slit Levi's throat.
For Samuel this was the worst news he could get. Levi's only job was to be a ceremonial commander that would inspire the men. Samuel commanded Lord Samuel to charge the IGG forces. Though Levi died, the balance of power was in the favor of the FWA by a mile.
== Result ==
This battle showed the people of Edelmaa that independence from the Ronmag was possible. This battle turned the small revolt into an full blown war. Workhold also crowned its new King. King Henrinion.Category:Battles
