TUF under fire with a double siege op

AianNick's town of Freiburg and Kaven's town of just stolen both came under siege at exactly 4 am this morning. OleBlacklord is sieging AianNick's town whilst What The DEUCE? is sieging Kaven.

The siege on Freiburg was broken around 16:45 by ThorOdin, AianNick's alt, taking out over 200k SIN troops in a single hit.

Agalloch seems confident that the siege on Kaven's town will be broken shortly as well.

When I reached out to Saffron in GC, she declined to comment on the sieges.

TUF is now in confederation with EE, indicating that they are likely to cooperate with sieges in the future.

A siege by He-man on one of Janadorf's towns was almost broken by Walnut though due to a mistake, Walnut 'sent cav to wrong sq so siege force survived and captured'.

UPDATE: What The DEUCE?'s siege on Kaven was successful. The city fell at 10:12 on the 28th.

TUF under fire/ New siege on RE

A recent SIN siege on Persona Non Grata by siege came to an end at 00:12 on the 6th July when OleBlacklord razed 'publi city'. The Illyriad Times reported that the siege began on the 5th at 2:00.
When asked about the siege, Jejune had the following to say: 'we met only moderate resistance from TUF -- just one substantial stal hit. The rest were elites or poorly-matched troop types (one attack was with T2 spears, for example). For us, this was a relatively small, standard siege model. We'll look to put together more substantial ops in the weeks ahead as we ramp up.'. The 'substantial stal hit' came from Mexican Dwarf.

TUF has also exodused cities away from inbound RE and SIN sieges, first Pir Cerxes away from a siege by Salgerluk and then My Belle away from a siege by Kerg. This could show that after months of fighting, TUF's forces are wearing thin.

TUF has fought back against RE recently with a siege on Knight of Ancient's city of  'Vgrumkik' by kaven at 11:31 today. The siege is on a plains square, however due to the remote location if the siege, it is likely that no forces will arrive in time to break it.

UPDATE: The siege was broken on the 7th July with the help of SIN forces. Since the siege was broken, Knight of Ancients has left RE and joined WILD.
