Imperial sieges and Bavarian moves cited in 1700s dispatches
From Landau to Vim, artillery sieges near Landaz and Lauserburg unfold with 25 dead and a capitulation on the 16th. Hostages exchanged, Garztand and a Halfmoon surrendered. Count Than leads, while Bavarian forces threaten Germany with potential civil war. Reports from Paris, Frankfurt, and Madrid detail Dutch English Cadiz landing, Austrian intrigues, and shifting stakes as Catmat, Catarat, and Catmend clash across fortresses, Ulm, and Imperia. The Dauphin recovers and heads to Fontainebleau as Bourguignon arrives. Penle fortification falls after a stout defense.
