Breaking news:

 

Ming China invades Siberia with a million soldiers.

Well when Dungeonal gets back he'll probably attack me, though we can probably sort something out, I mean America is huge. Gunna be atleast 4 more budget resets until I have colonised it all, though that is only if I go for it myself.

I actually had this done before you posted Rocco, lol

 

Balochistan replies that it does not need European help, and cites the example of what is going on in India (ongoing conquest by European powers) as grounds for refusal.

Any chance that I could get the results of the colonization I Pmed you about?

Persia declines as well.

WAR UPDATE - Persia vs Balochistan

 

The Persian Army of Fars, under the leadership of General Ali Ismail crossed over the border into Balochistan on October 23rd, 1776 and was faced with an empty landscape. The Balocistani army was nowhere to be seen, and so General Ali ordered his army to advance to the port city of Pasni, and there lay siege to the town in an attempt to coerce the cowards to come attack him.

 

He reached the town with little interruption. A few badly uniformed Baloci horseman were sighted, but were quickly driven off by a company of Persian dragoons. The Persians set out on an aggressive patrol of the countryside using most of their cavalry, searching for this lost enemy army, but they could not find it.

 

They could not find it because it was not on land. The Balocistani General Arjak Muhammed had rightly assumed that the Persians would take the route south along the coast to attack into Balochistan, rather than risk their army by crossing the mountainous terrain that marked the northern border between the two countries. So General Arjak had withdrawn his troops and loaded them onto the Balochistan’s (admittedly) small navy. He landed off the coast of Pasni a month after the siege had begun, and hastily ordered his men to assemble, then advanced them forward.

 

The Persians were caught entirely off guard, and were bereft of their cavalry which was riding in patrol groups in Balochistan’s inland territory search for the army that was assembled in front of Pasni, steadily moving towards the Persian line which had been hastily prepared. Without the Persian cavalry though, the Persian lines’ flanks were wide open, despite the fact that their infantry outnumbered the Balochistani’s.

 

The artillery was unlimbered and crashed into their enemy’s lines, doing minimal damage as the men were spread out, but General Arjak ordered his cavalry to move forward, threaten the enemy line, but don’t charge unless an opening was presented. As predicted, the Persians, unable to respond to the move were forced into protective infantry squares while the Balochistani cavalry silenced the Persian gun crews with their lances.

 

The battle wore on, but the winner had already been decided. The Persians could not move out of square for threat of the enemy cavalry, but to stay trapped within the square meant they were prime targets for the Balochistani infantry line and artillery. As the sun crept below the horizon, the Persians finally broke, sending the Balochistani cavalry charging after them with a shout of glee. By the end of the day, nearly the entire Persian army had been destroyed, and the only Persians that made it back to their homeland were the isolated scouting parties that trotted home on tired horses after hearing the news.

 

Persia accepted peace soon afterwards, cedeing the province of Bandar Abbas to Balochistan.

 

Persia blames Portugal for the defeat, saying that they lied and did not send troops to help like they said they would.

Hopefully this gives people a rough idea of what the battle reports will be like and what not to do (such as attacking enemy infantry line while your troops are still in square...make sure to have a mixed unit army, etc, etc)

Dusty, are Admirals and Generals without traits useful are they just dead weight?

Dusty, are Admirals and Generals without traits useful are they just dead weight?

They're not dead weight. They're better than having no discernible leader to an army, but they just don't have anything that makes them special or unique in certain situations.

Persia declines as well.

I would've lol.

Minor detail. Most people don't know that the Persian royalty declined, only that Portugal offered to help and then didn't.

Do you guys want to be given some naval ships as well, much like the starting armies? I was going to do it initially but forgot. Seems weird to have Britain piddling around with like 6 boats.

Sure, but maybe compensate country's that don't get them with some more army, to be fair. Unless everyone gets them.

Yes some ships for the powers of the time would be nice.

Sure, nothing wrong with more ships.

I pick option B

NAVIES

 

+15 Two deckers to Great Britain

+10 Two deckers to Portugal

+10 Two deckers to Spain

+5 Two deckers to France

+5 Two deckers to the Netherlands

 

 

+10 Frigates to the USA

+5 Frigates to the Ottomans

+5 Frigates to Italy

+5 Frigates to Russia

+5 Frigates to Poland

+5 Frigates to Prussia

+5 Frigates to Sweden

+5 Frigates to Austria-Hungary

 

(there is a disparity in the numbers because let's face it...Poland never attempted to challenge Great Britain for naval supremacy of the Atlantic ocean)

16 Two Deckers and 2 Frigates... Damn you Portugal!!!!

Do I get anything?

Do I get anything?

Sorry, added +5 frigates to Austria-Hungary, just keep in mind that as Rocco is almost correct, you have barely any coastline, and what you do have is in the Netherlands region.
