April 1793 CE
The revolutionary government has restored order in areas north of the Loire by early April, but south of the Loire in four departments that become known as the Vendée Militaire, there are few troops to control rebels and what had started as rioting quickly takes on the form of a full insurrection led by priests and the local nobility.
Within a few weeks, the rebel forces have formed the substantial, if ill-equipped, army, Royal and Catholic Army, supported by two thousand irregular cavalry and a few captured artillery pieces.
The main force of the rebels operates on a much smaller scale, using guerrilla tactics, supported by the insurgents' unparalleled local knowledge and the goodwill of the people.
