May 1499 CE
The continued defeats of both Habsburg and Swabian armies make king Maximilian, who had hitherto been occupied in the Netherlands, travel to Constance and assume the leadership of the operations himself.
He declares an imperial ban over the Swiss Confederacy in an attempt to gain wider support for the operation among the German princes by declaring the conflict an "imperial war".
However, this move has no success.
Maximilian now decides that the next decisive attack should take place again in the Val Müstair, since he doesn't have enough troops near Constance to risk attacking there.
