Years: 1278 - 1278
The crusaders and Sudovians engage in guerilla warfare, at which the Sudovians are particularly adept.
However, they lack the sheer numbers to deal with their German, Polish, and Volhynian adversaries, and the Sudovian nobility has begun gradually surrendering one by one.
Marshal Conrad von Thierberg the Younger raids Pokima, capturing large amounts of cattle, horses, and prisoners.
They then successfully ambush the three thousand-strong force of pursuing Sudovians, losing only six Christians in the process.
