A victory for the forces of Noverre
---oXo---
The Noverre vanguard would however have to reform and rest after the fight, which they did with alacrity in Mikkelheim drinking all the wine and beer they could find.
The battle delayed the invaders enough to allow Prince Michael of Munkasse and his court to evacuate the capital and head for safety in neighbouring Saxe-Jarlsberg.
The Munkasse armed forces re-grouped and made their way to join the Saxe-Jarlsberg army who were coming to their aid.
