A French Man of War blockading the channel has been sunk by the Dover squadron. Valuable experience has been gained for our rebuilt and untested Navy.
Owing to a surprise attack by French forces on the supply lines of our besieging army outside Paris, our heavy artillery has been turned on the them instead. They were blown out of their positions without loss, but the expenditure of ammunition for some of our biggest guns will force a further delay in the final attack on the French Capital.
(Does anyone know why a fortress cannot be pillaged? The MP game seems to insist on a mine-farmland-crops-road-fortress order.)
The interval has been used to bring even more guns over the channel, as no doubt very many Frenchmen are digging in to defend their beloved city. However, some potential reinforcements have been destroyed outside Paris, and we have extended our siege-lines.
In the meantime, roving units of English troops have been plundering Northern France, in retaliation for recent French raids on our mines in Southern England.
A raid on Calais has destroyed the Fortress there. Henrik, that seems to have cost you 2 Boarding Parties - is that right? No longer trusting to fixed fortifications, the High Command has packed Calais with Marines and Grenadiers instead!
A relatively quiet year, as both sides summon their strength for the final test!
