Kickout Offensive

The Kickout Offensive was a military operation by the Dinosaur Dominion and the Artiodactyl Association from 374 to 376 AB.

The offensive began when the area controlled by the Bat Band and Perissodactyl Place, the enemies of the Dominion and Association, where the Dominion and Association were not allowed to raise militias, stretched from Ireland to Denmark. The goal of the Kickout Offensive was to reduce this area by capturing first Denmark and Norway and later sweeping down the coast and reaching Brettany. The offensive was a lot less violent than the offensive, seven years earlier, that ended in the Battle of Porrg: civilians were unharmed. This led to support among some of the civilians, and Norway and Denmark were duly captured. As the forces, growing ever larger, swept the coast towards Normandy the Band and Place suffered defeat after defeat. Things got so dire that the Place-Band forces called in the general responsible for the Porrg victory, Gbar Porrg. Porrg was successful in seeing the end of the offensive, although he died in the battles that were the outcome of his strategy, culminating in a battle on a large field, where any support by locals would not matter as much. In 376 AB the generals, feeling their armies had been severely weakened, ordered a major retreat. Many alternate historians speculate on what could have happened had they not given that order, as the Association and Dominion, despite having a slight disadvantage in numbers, were no longer facing a united army.
