After the the drama relating to the battle of the desert/raid of Bannistan. The Soviet and Mongol forces began planning the next battle on the 23rd, though with plans falling through the battle was cancelled and moved a week later. Getting bored with only one opponent the mongols declared war on the GAM again, unlike last time when the mongols were paid off, Mystia accepted the offer of war and forged an alliance with the Soviets. Upon hearing about this Red-GAM alliance, Nazi nations and settlements of the server declared their support for the mongols. And thus created a Nazi-Mongol alliance, despite none of the involved parties being Finns.
So with a two week break between major events the mongols, soviets and their allies have plenty time to prepare. The mongols build a giant impenetrable fort while the soviet-GAM's built a camp perched precariously atop a cliff. For two straight weeks both sides were at each others throats flinging insults and puffing hot air.
Paranoia set in, and both sides became increasingly suspicious of each others activities. On the Soviet-GAM side it was requiring a large amount of body guards to transport battle materials, while on the Nazi-Mongol side it resulted in killing any enemy that got close to the fort under the monikor of “killing scouts” and questioning of every soldier who turned up to fight.
As the time drew near for the battle both sides spent every last minute in preparation. The Nazi-mongol's spending the last moments finishing their fort and the Soviet-GAM's trying to build a second base next to the base. Although this second base wasn't completed due to Mongols claims that it was on their land and thus the mongols doing what they do best, raiding. This created a mild amount off butthurt from the Soviet-GAMs but it was the first in the many of anus that were to be ravanged this day.

After some scouting and by luck of persuasion by the mongols it was found that the two largest nations on the server failed to muster up enough soldiers to outnumber the mongols and through further last minute recruiting the Mongols actually began to outnumber the Soviet-GAM forces. So as the clock struck 16:30:00 the Nazi-mongols decided to attack the camp. The Nazi-Mongol teamspeak was a hive of activity as their forces were charging from the schizoid ramblings of Striker2117 to the 'Freedom' speach from Braveheart the mongols surrounded the camp. The Soviet-GAM forces still not ready it was seen that Mystia was still wearing full diamond armour, which according to Kurwan rules was out of the question. Even though Mystia changed her suit afterwards the Mongols saw the diamond armour and declared the soviet-GAMs were cheating and said all rules were off. Although engaged in battle the other forces did not see this declaration forcing the counter claim that the Nazi-Mongols were cheating and thus minutes later Mystia declaring that all rules were off.

The battle started off pretty evenly it appeared evident that the Soviet-GAM forced were outnumbered and could not escape their bunker. Then suddenly the worst lag the server has experienced hit, and it hit hard. Both sides were dumbstruck. No one could move and chunks refused to load. Ghoul increased chaos by spawning horde of Ghasts in Soviet-GAM camp. Mods kicked people, stopped rain and used all their resources to remove the lag. Though this clusterfuck continued for at least 10 minutes, and finally the game was somewhat playable albeit it took some players minutes to load chunks and many fell through the world and met their demise in the void.

After some time the Nazi-Mongol forces broke into the bunker though this did not mean the Nazi-mongols had won yet as the Soviets and the GAMs were still spawning inside and were able to still fight from their position. The Soviet-GAM forces fought bravely but could not compete with being outnimbered and boxed into such a confined area. Eventually it overwealmed the Soviet and GAM armies and Kebab was removed from the premises. Though the battle raged on but in a secondary position at spawn and in some soviet areas. After some time the Nazi-Mongol forces were bored of spawn camping and began to raid other areas like Eien-kyo. This resulted in more deaths and some minor destruction.
Te3, Enton and the rest of the mod team punished the Nazi-Mongols and some other players by issuing short bans and attacking individuals for spawn camping, raiding neutral places and minor offenses. V1ad declared the battle over and complained that the battle was pathetic and everyone who took place should be ashamed.

Many players got short bans, yet damages from griefing were very minor. Though the butthurt was strong with each side throwing accusations of cheating it was evident that both sides declared that the rules would be thrown out and anything goes. The biggest lost though was the many, many sets of armour and weapons on both sides.

V1adimirr, online by chance at the time of the battle, decided to envoke his status as Arbiter and attempted to refereed the battle. Almost immediately he noted numerous rule violations on both sides and, after helping clear up the lag, expressed his disgust at the participants and left halfway through the battle. His official ruling was that, due to the cheating, both sides lost, though neither side paid much head to this verdict. Initially flattered that his ancient system of war had been chosen as the rules of engagement, he later commented that the battle had been a mockery of the Kurwan System and that he hoped neither side would mar the nation's memory by attempting to use it ever again.

Though there was butthurt all around from both sides it was V1adimirr who really explained it for what it was.

The mongol fort was left untouched, though the Soviet-GAM camp was griefed tho shit and was decimated.
