^ if you had bothered to follow the topic from the start you would have realized the BAF actually helped, beating the Hessians back 3 times, but they eventually got bored and left. But since there is no actual mechanism to "win" a siege in the game as a defender, except overlogging the attacking force until they quit, the Hessians won in the end.
Kudos to them for persistence, I guess, even if I consider it poor taste to actually waste so much resources on a mere ore storage POB that didn't actually threaten anyone
Disclaimer : I'm not a POB owner but I did have benefits from it as I did a lot of trading in Bretonia lately...
