The coastal invasion failed due to the lack of a raidable village at the coast (our coastal villages tend to be big and thus really fortified cuz of the easy water and trade), and they had to go a little more inland, in which by then a couple companies of soldiers had been able to deal attrition to the capitalists. They still retreated, but with very little in return. The Ahelians have used them to create skullpikes to intimidate the capitalists. the survivors had told the liliang that we had fire magic on our axes
