Battle of Catania (1296)
Result: The Neapolitan forces are pushed away from Catania after another failed naval invasion. Chased by the forces from Messinia and a counter-attack led by Frederick III himself, the Neapolitan armies already on Sicily (roughly 13,000 after the Battle of Messinia) are pinned against the coastline. The naval invasion is thrown back into the sea. Because of Sicily's roll, it will have advantage next turn.

With fresh reinforcements from Aragon, Sicilian King Frederick III marches his troops up to Beneveto, where they lay siege to the Neapolitan city. The fighting around the city is much to the advantage of Naples, however, given the location and the presence of a fortress. Sicily/Aragon begin to make some progress by the end of the year, however, with an adequate blockade of the city in place. By the end of this year, about 35,000 attackers remain, compared to 15,000 defenders.

Blood, soot, and embers mix with the newfallen snow. The fire rages for days. In the end, Edinburgh is practically burned to the ground.

Wave after wave of Mongolians smash into the Bohemian forces. The coalition takes heavy casualties, with 30,000 remaining.

Battle of Zestaponi (1297)
Imereti repulses the Georgian troops outside of Zestaponi. Depsite the superior tactics of the Georgians, Imereti leverages its strategic location to turn the tide of the battle, resulting in heavy casualties to the Georgian feudal levies (but fewer losses among the Royal Guard).

Battle along the Border (1297)
After the defeat outside of Zestaponi, Gurjistan (Georgia) heads back towards its border while being followed by the Imeretian forces. Approximately at the border, Georgia is reinforced by approximately 6000 Ilkhan troops, making up for the lost men in the battle outside Zestaponi. Georgia then uses the hilly terrain as a defensive position against the Imereti attack - and succeeds in repelling the Imereti forces who, in defeat, head to their capital at Kutaisi.

The Mamluks' army manages to break the siege of Damascus, despite being outnumbered (especially with the arrival of Georgia to bolster Ilkhanate's troops). That being said, Mamluk Damascus (forces measuring 23,000) repels the Christian invaders (who now number 30,000).

The battle rages outside of Jerusalem, the holiest of cities. The large bulk of the Mamluk army, which has been raised from across Egypt and the Hejaz, faces down a smaller, but better-trained crusader force. While luck appears to be on the Crusaders' side (they will roll at an advantage next battle), they are simply outnumbered by the Mamluks. The battle is costly to both sides: The Crusaders stand at 18,000 while the Mamluks have lost 5,000 themselves.

Yuan besieges Samarkand. Both armies inflict heavy casualties upon one another before a lengthy siege ensues, which continues through the end of the year. The situation in Samarkand, however, is one of despair and suffering. It seems as if the siege is reaching its final months.

The Chagatai Khanate rallies it troops, after the siege has gone on for longer than expected. Although low on food and supplies, the horde's troops manage to engage the besieging forces. A bloody battle ensues, but Chagatai gains the upper hand, granting a reprieve from the siege of Samarkand. Casualties are extremely high, with the Yuan losing about 30,000 men (down to 100,000) and Chagatai losing 15,000 (down to 70,000).

The forces of Baghdad, inspired by the Caliph's call for holy war, march out to meet Qipchaq's army. The Baghdad troops are not well-trained, but they manage to outnumber Qipchaq's troops by virtue of Baghdad being one of the largest cities in the world (and the largest in the Middle East). Led on the battlefield by Öljaitü, Baghdad defeats the army of the Ilkhan's son. Babhdad's army now counts 37,000 while the Ilkhanate has been reduced to 25,000. Additionally, Öljaitü has shown himself to be a Great General.

The Delhi army meets the Ilkhan army, which has crossed the Himalayas to reach Nishapur. After intense fighting, the Ilkhan army is forced to retreat through a mountain pass. Of the 100,000 men that entered Nishapur on the side of the Mongolians, 60,000 remain. Delhi has 130,000 troops remaining on this front.
