After the Chelmsford Conflict, there was little we could do. We were
short of supplies, and more importantly, firepower. A dire situation
for most of us. And then the order came to start withdrawing. Forces
were spread thinly and we needed to regroup. We started retreating,
towards the South-West at first, but we met resistance time and
time again. It was now the start of September, and the leaves were
beginning to turn. All that we knew was that before too long, we would
be back out there, battling against the King's Own Regiment, fighting
for freedom. See October Revolution
for battle reports, video and photos.

mustered and a major restoration process began. Several days later,
the government attacked the KOR to the north of Chelmsford.
