Kavkaz Campaign - Armies Reorganise

Izumrud-Zeleniyan Infantry in attack

Owing to the cumulative costs of campaigning and combat, all the armies in the Abasgian Valley had to look to their depleted units and formations. A major reorganisation was indicated: units converged and commands reassigned. The shattered Turcowaz Trebizond Command in particular was in bad shape - bad enough that its commander, Bashir Ed Din Pasha, called upon Ionople for a reinforcement.


Something of a lull descended upon operations. 

Kavkaz Campaign
Developments 23-25 June, 1875

2♣ - The Izumrud-Zeleniyan Army again divides into two, one half under General-Major Kutizedoff remaining for the moment in Zugdidi, the other - Kavkaz Column under Count Ignatieff - marching eastward again to try conclusions with Abdul Abulbul Ameer. Future Spade draws will apply to this column.

J♥ - Turcowaz Trebizond Command (beginning just south of Zugdidi to which it had retreated after the late battle) retires 2 hexes towards Poti, to stand at the highway's Kutaisi turnoff.

A♦ - Turcowaz Kars Command retires into Kutaisi Town
      - Turcowaz Trebizond Command retires across the Rioni River into Poti
      - Turcowaz troop carrier sails westward (off the map)
