The Battle of Brenau was an early battle of the Great Europan War and the first battle on the Northern Front. It began the Belvanian Frontier Campaign. 80,000 soldiers of the Belvanian First Army under the command of Sir Bertram Howard were repulsed whilst mounting an offensive against Brenaustadt in the region of Brenau in Germana. 55,000 Germanan troops of the Germanan First Army turned back the attack with heavy casualties, under the skilled command of General Frederick, Graf von Deffelstaber.
