Archipelago – Late Summer, 1827 – New Moderator Position Open

[SWAT One]

There are still things that annoy me, but you've fleshed out your reasons and they make more sense. Thanks.
No worries.  At any time any player is able to take up issues with me.  Let that be known to all of you.


The Kyrevan Navy braces and moves south to engage the next patrol.
This patrol sees them coming and gets into formation, preparing to broadside the Kyrevan Navy when it comes within range.

The army sets up its available cannons, nearly 3/4s of the nation's artillery, on the hill. Cavalry are prepared on the flanks in secret and the infantry are prepared to move out.
The enemy goes "Oh stuff."

The UEK's training camps kick into overdrive as conscripts begin learning the way of war.

The rest of the UEK's artillery joins its now experienced brethren on the western front, and Topsmen begin to get issued lances to deal with the shields of Obalei's troops.



btw check my nation post

the UEK is really loving aggressive with conscription

so enjoy that stuff you goatloving tribal forgets

[CypherX]

The Kyrevan Royal Navy suddenly turns west as it gets into range of the patrol, crossing the patrol's T.

Just before the break of dawn, all artillery batteries open up on the enemy positions as the strong infantry core moves up the field. Cavalry wait on the flanks, their positions still secret.

These "tribes" are only called tribes because that's what they call themselves.  Think of it as very similar to the german confederation.

Also, they react quickly by passing hand-axes and lances up through the column of shields and begin to fend off this group well.  Reinforcements of 20,000 arrive at this battle.

The Noaste Patrol turns and attempts to broadside, but loses a ship in the process.  The wreckage provides a smoke barrier as the smoke goes north, and it takes a few minutes to notice that one ship has parted from the patrol and is now fleeing northwest to inform the Noaste main navy.  Combat continues, and the Noaste patrol is wiped out, save for the fleeing ship, evidently the fastest of the patrol.

The artillery manages to wipe out a good number of the oncoming army at first, but then another force rises on another opposing hill further southward, this one further away, though.  Ten mountain howitzers begin to fire at the artillery lines.

the counts react quicker by mounting lances to lances and mounting the new double lances to the horses

and also they're given grenades and so are topsmen and soldats

The Kyrevan Royal Navy follows the fleeing boat northwest, with the few remaining ships that were elsewhere joining the main fleet, now consisting of 1 98-gun first rate, 6 86-gun second rates, 7 60-gun third rates, 8 50-gun fourth rates and 6 38-gun "superfrigates".

The hidden light and heavy cavalry on the southern flank appear, charging up the left flank of the hill the other force is located on while 20,000 Fähnrich and 500 Grenadiers split from the main force to engage the new enemy position. Several artillery pieces are knocked out by the howitzers in the initial bombardment, while those on the south side of the hill turn to face the new force. The infantry moving towards the main hill finally reach enemy forces and begin a line battle.

The UK begins to strengthen its industrial infrastructure, as well as increase trade with mainland (and our little island) nations/peoples.

[Juncoph]

the UEK gives Obalei an ultimatum: face annihilation and assimilation or go to peace with the UEK

entering peace will not return captured land

[Mr. Hurricane]

Vlast quietly moves settlers into the northern mountain area and foothills. Mines are to be constructed, as well as forges.

[Badger]

Is the large lake beside me freshwater?

I'm assuming it is

[CypherX]

Alliance request sent to Vlast; all lands of Obalei are offered if they help us fight the aggressive natives, noting that if he doesn't the people he relocates will likely do the same.

Obalei commanders call for a ceasefire on both sides with the intention of sorting out a peace agreement.

This begins to break up the columns on the eastern front, however, the now advancing forces are met by the howitzers firing chains, which are able to decimate whole lines at once.

15,000 of Tacza reinforcements arrive, and the sheer numbers of the oncoming army begin to push the Elmic forces back into Elmic territory.

The ship manages to outrun the Kyrevan fleet and launches up a flare that can be seen far in the distance by evening.  Seconds later, flares begin to be fired from all around in various positions in the horizon.

The hidden light and heavy cavalry on the southern flank appear, charging up the left flank of the hill the other force is located on while 20,000 Fähnrich and 500 Grenadiers split from the main force to engage the new enemy position. Several artillery pieces are knocked out by the howitzers in the initial bombardment, while those on the south side of the hill turn to face the new force. The infantry moving towards the main hill finally reach enemy forces and begin a line battle.
The battle rages on through the night, and in the morning, both sides have sustained a large amount of damage.

Vlast quietly moves settlers into the northern mountain area and foothills. Mines are to be constructed, as well as forges.

The Obalei instruct Vlast to cease settling near it, or alternatively, allow it, but keep no more than 1,000 military personnel stationed in this region.

Is the large lake beside me freshwater?

No, it's brackish.  A lot of rainfall occurs in the region, but it used to be a full sea, until swamps in what would be the northern inlet appeared.  Tides from the sea affect this area.

Novi Kiska abstains for now. Vlast's army is pitifully small, outnumbered anywhere from 3 to 1 all the way to 5 to 1.

A recruitment drive is set fourth by the PM. Ten new regiments are in training, with another foreseeable ten to twenty. There is no conscription at this time. The buildup is predicted to lift the economy a bit, as there is a need for equipment.
