-The **Battle of Paris** was a major engagement - the single largest of the server - of [[World war 1|i34]], primarily fought between Franco-Swiss and German-Kalmar (Nordic) forces over the city of Paris. Despite numerical superiority, German and Norse forces were dealt a decisive blow in and around the City of Paris by French forces, buttressed by Swiss, Portuguese, and, Dutch forces. The battle is widely regarded as one of the if not the most ruthless, vicious, competitive, and, sweaty battles in /int/craft history.

 ===== Prelude =====
-Following the dramatic reversal of French forces on war day 2 - which saw the Grande Armée dislocated from its forward position in Frankfurt and forced into a frantic defense of the homeland following a disastrous cavalry charge into French lines and several Norse landings in Normandy and Brittany - German and Norse trench-lines faced Paris merely a few chunks away from the main walls. The following week was typified by the construction of extensive fortifications in and around Paris, including major extensions to walls, and a grid like chunk by chunk defense system within the city limits. The largest geo-strategic shift during this week was the successful hiring of Swiss mercenaries (domsquad), which ensured a small, but experienced addition to French forces.
