Battle of Naoned

The Battle of Naoned (called the Battle of Nantes in France), fought in the spring of 1791, was the first major military test of the new Breton Duchy and its armies. Good planning on the part of Tuffin, and aid from the Royalist Jean-Baptiste Donatien de Vimeur, Comte de Rochambeau's l’Armée du Nord, allowed for a Breton victory against the National Guard who expected an easy victory against the 'Breton Rebellion'. Following this Tuffin's call for a Army of All Brittany would finally be taken seriously and the first real national Breton army was formed.

 Raw transcript: 

- Lafayette’s 2,000 men at the border race to the city of Nantes, where they are immediately intercepted by the marquis de la Rouërie and his men. Due to superior manpower and morale, the Bretons repulse the French over the river Loire after the comte de Rochambeau commits his forces to the field, catching the National Guard in the rear. 1425 members of the National Guard are killed by the combined forces of Comte de Rochambeau and the Breton Revolutionaries. Another 175 are captured leaving 400 to retreat. 610 Bretons are killed. The battle convinces many Bretons that the war is winnable, and they flock to the Steward’s cause, filling the Army of All Brittany with its first recruits.
