The [b][color=gray]Kalpian Republic[/color][/b] hastily colonizes the lower tip of the [b]Empire of Kamen[/b] and the island of Towga, the former which is rich in aluminum.

[i]Kalpian troops preparing for an attack, August 1906[/i][/center]

[indent][b][color=red]Raid on New Vilkst[/color][/b] ([i]Kalpian victory[/i])
[b]Prelude[/b]: During the [i]Scramble for Vakellia[/i], the Kalpians made for a land grab on the southern tip of the Empire of Kamen. When no delegates or messengers came to meet them however, it became readily apparent that their presence was not wanted. The Kalpian colonial garrisons, Hans von Luck, immediately began to prepare for it's defense, setting up sandbag barricades just outside of town.

[b]Battle[/b]: The [b]Kamenese Warriors[/b], the majority of whom were armed with spears and shields of buffalo hide waited until dawn to attack. They came in screaming, their arms raised above their head in a hallowing death cry. The Kalpian 58th Infantry Division, just west of town had a mile long entrenchment with almost three dozen FT-18 Mark I machine guns set up. With over 5,000 Kamenese attacking, it was only when the Kalpian machine guns ran hot that the Kamenese warriors came close, chucking their spears at the Kalpian riflemen. The attackers however realized that they were no match for Kalpian machine guns and retreated after only an hour. The field ahead lay strewn with Kamenese bodies.

[b]Aftermath[/b]: The Kamenese were beaten, but whether they will be back remains to be seen. Major General Hans von Luck, commander of the 58th Infantry Division reported back to the Kalpian colonial governor that if they did come back, the Kalpians were well supplied and ready for them.

[b]Casualties[/b]:
[b][color=gray]Kalpian Republic[/color][/b]: 34 Regulars (34 Mariust/98 Rifles)
[b][color=fff79a]Empire of Kamen[/color][/b]: 1,984 Conscripts[/indent]
