The Georgian Subjugation of Crimea
King Vakhtang IV is ready to strike at Crimea again. Although they have renewed their alliance with Nogai, Uzbek is trouncing the steppe horde in battle. That leaves Crimea weak and nearly defenseless. They have 8,000 troops to our 15,000 and an additional 8,000 from our vassals alone.
Now is the time. The king declares war for the province of Azaraba.
Nogai, embroiled in their own war, has not joined in on this episode. Crimea is on her own.
