HospSicily-ByzFrance War

== HS-BF War ==
The HospSicily-ByzFrance War is an ongoing conflict between Sicilian, Hospitallers, Byzantines, and French. The war started on April 24th 2021 when the Byzantine Empire and France (ByzFrance) launched a raid on the Sicilian owned Nicosia. As of now all 4 factions are in states and the war is probably going to go on for a few more months.
== START OF THE WAR ==
The HS-BF War started when the Byzantines and French started a raid against the Sicilians and Hospitallers for the base of Nicosia. The raid concluded with a ByzFrance victory and what would later start the Laodicea Campaign. Both sides signed a NAP that would prohibit the capture of faction capitals.
== Laodicea Campaign ==
The Laodicea Campaign (LC for short) is a campaign started by Sicily in the road map Laodicea set to retake the occupied territories of Nicosia and Alamut which were captured by the Byzantines. The Sicilians kept the LC competitive by night raiding the Byzantines which kept Sicilian morale up through the whole campaign. The LC lasted the whole month of May, some would even say its still ongoing after the Sicilian recapture of Siracusa and Nicosia. 
== State Period ==
State Period is an era of the War were both sides joined states. Before both sides joined their states the Byzantines broke the NAP by raiding Siracusa over a night raid on Alamut. After multiple raids on bases like Alamut and Constantinople from the nomadic Sicilians the Byzantines and French joined the Anti Crusader States. Sicily and Hospitallers continued being independent for some time even capturing Siracusa and Nicosia back at one time. Later on though, the Sicilians and Hospitallers join the Crusader States looking for new allies to help them beat the ByzFrench.
The period started with CS taking ACS territory at ease and dominating the genre. Later ACS would make a huge comeback and push CS back to Malbork and Kerak. This period ended with an NAP signed to dissolve the both states.
== End of War ==
Even though there was no peace treaty signed, the HS-BF War is considered over. Now the ByzFrench alliance is doing their own thing like terrorizing Crusaders and other things like that. The HospSicily alliance is now focused on conquering and reconquering lost territories.
