Caesina's Ambush at Placentia

Caesina ambushed Vailans' army at Placentia. The Othonian forces had already learned of Caesina's plan by way of a battalion deserters, so they marched out in full force to overwhelm the trap. Though Caesina was tricked into attacking what he soon discovered to be the entire opposing army, delays and hassles trying to properly form up the mostly rookie Othonian troops allowed Caesina to call in reinforcements and extract himself from the debacle. At this point, discipline in all of the armies was something of a joke.
