A Necessary Evil

Nearly a week had passed since the start of the conflict between the Lombardic Rebels and the Austrian Occupiers. Several hundred attacks had been committed during this brief insurgency. Austrian supplies were dwindling quickly, and many of the officers within the brigade were "assassinated" during this time frame. 

Currently, Heimerich stood within the confines of his stronghold, which existed in the form of a small castle in the largest of the Mountainous settlements. The young man gazed at the map with a bitter expression as he tossed it to the side in rage. These rebels had wiped half of his unit out, either via "attrition" caused by their sabotage efforts or outright "deaths" in combat. Just how did Berengar expect him to defeat the Jagdkommandos and their band of rebels when they blended into the local population seamlessly?
