The Battle of Toll was the first major battle in the New Swabian War, The AFNM launched a massive attack against the New Swabians at the beginning of the war and succeeded in pushing the New Swabians far away from the border without a major fight. However as they approached the city of Toll, Bernhard Knapstein and the High Command ordered General Wilhelm Kunz to stop the Maudlandic advance in its tracks and turn the war around.
