The battle at Chamberlain Crossing proved to be the last gasp for the Rasmussen Elite. Only 3 units survived the slaughter. A book,â€16 Minutes of Hellâ€, was written by one of the survivors and will remain one of the very few documents that mention anything about the Wolverines in years to come.
Clans Snow Raven and Wolverine are ordered to combine forces for the last major opponent in the Northern campaign on Circe. Isolated on an island continent to the east, the L’Isle des Aigles [Isle of the Eagles] had time to prepare for the clans’ assault. The Davion affiliated group prepared a series of defensive fortifications that severely challenged Snow Raven airpower and both clans ground forces. The Eagles managed to avoid being drawn into a large battle with the faster Wolverines while giving as good as they got in the air.
General James Longstreet and his 2nd Major George Pickett, gathered the rest of their ground troops together to make a break out from the capital city of Hamilton. Wolverine scouts spotted their movements and relayed their course to sa-Khan Joyce Merrell of the Snow Ravens, who set up defensive positions at Constan’s Cemetery Ridge. Unfortunately, a dense fog enshrouded the area, dropping visibility to less than ½ kilometer. Air forces on both sides were grounded. Communications were also breaking down due to ore deposits in the area. While Khan Merrell received information of the enemies course and was able to set up an anvil position, she did not receive data on the number of enemy forces......
