Graaah!

So I formed the Slavic Union, hurrah, and things are getting tense and interesting with Europe divided roughly equally between me (reformed Slavic) and the Muslims-Formerly-Known-As-Umayyad with every form of Christianity reduced to remote cults spread throughout the continent.

Despite all that the formerly unheard of Teutonic Order has decided to declare a northern crusade against me for the backwater duchy of Rostov (hugging Perm). So far no biggy, I'm huge and powerful what are they gonna do?

But for some reason they managed to scrounge up over 60k of troops (where could they find 60k of christians?). Still not a problem, I've got 120k total, just gotta figure out the logistics.

Ah they don't suffer attrition, of course, the usual bollocks. Bit of a pisser since all of this will take place in the Siberian hellscape but nothing we haven't handled before.

Bam! Caught the brunt of their forces in the vice of my legions and won the battle. The fight itself along with the lack of supplies certainly took their toll but it got the war score up to 70% and it's time to white peace out.

White peace is greyed out. No problem, just one more battle and we should be fine. Unfortunately their barely reduced main force is now shattered-retreating even further into the horrible east.

I frantically try to navigate my troops through the unforgiving supply limits while trying to catch their forces in another man-funnel. I only manage to get half my troops in a semi-decent position in time but attack them anyway for lack of alternative.

We fail but before we got struck down to the ground I retreat what's left to fight another day.

Which was 6k...

Out of 50...

Graaah!
