A New Day (Solidarity Only)

[Togeria]

The two cruisers refuse the backdown, deciding to try and sandwich the cruisers, Kakimono moves its best around to the otherside, firing on the full and below at it moves, Yamaguchi firing below the belt as to try and sink one.

The Eisenlander cruisers are heavily armored, using the latest in Krupp steel. The two cruisers cut across the path of the cruisers as Kakimono attempts to flank around the side, pushing their engines to the limit to outspeed them and enable the movement. Their batteries now all face the front of the Togerian cruisers.

Cruisers move to avoid battery fire, speeding to move onto the sides of the enemy cruisers,speeding to their sides.

[Badassistanian]

The torpedoes hit the thick armor of the ships but many miss as the barrage continues, aiming at the vitals of the ships.

The ships, now retreating in a single-file line, take little damage, as the vitals are impossible to hit.

The fleet is not hasty to celebration as they know there opponent will be back, the fleet begins to sail north away from the Netherlands.

The Eisenlanders follow them from a distance, armored cruisers posted ahead to act as reconnaissance.

Their batteries now all face the front of the Togerian cruisers.

Cruisers move to avoid battery fire, speeding to move onto the sides of the enemy cruisers, mortars firing on them.

With their engines becoming overheated, the Eisenlanders return to normal speed - however, the gamble paid off. While the Togerian cruisers shifted to the side, the Eisenlanders moved out from next to them, cutting across in front. With full battery angles, all of their guns open fire, 24 8-inch guns hurling shells towards the oncoming Togerians.

The ships taking damage on the hull spread out, going full speed to postion one on the back, and one on the front, their sides facing as they fire on the enemy cruisers.

The Eisenlanders move evasively, seeking to 'sandwich' the Togerians and once achieve a position of full broadside.

The Togerian move as well, doing their best to keep the the ships sandwiched, firing on them as they do this.

The Eisenlanders fire back with their own salvos, maintaining the armor and gunnery advantage (assuming your cruisers aren't as high quality, since you don't prioritize the navy.)

[Togeria]

The cruisers not as advance instead focus on hitting weakpoints, and wearing them down, moving evasively to sandwich the ships before firing heavily on their hull or backside, then moving again to try the same tactic. The ships try to keep constant movement, not able to afford many hits to their weakpoints.

The Eisenlanders constantly follow them, keeping equally watchful eyes.

The Eisenlanders use the same tactics, seeking to simply wear down the Togerians with their movements. Betting that the enemy, with its mortars, lacks the side weapon the Eisenlander cruisers have - the torpedo - the captain orders one final tactic to try and cripple the Togerian hulls for once and for all. At close range, the Eisenlander cruisers launch torpedoes at the Togerians, packed with high explosives.

The Eisenlander ships cease their fire, coming to a halt to inspect the damage.

The hull has been damage bad, but they stay afloat, with Yamaguchi's canons being worn from taking repeated fire. The sides are also picked off due to firing.

The status quo remains.

The Eisenlanders are forced to withdraw, their coal reserves too low to change a further adventure into the North Sea, and the damage to Liessen needing repair - it seems the decisive fleet engagement is out of reach. The first clash was a tactical victory for Eisenland, losing no ships, and a total of 115 sailors killed, and a further 48 wounded. The majority of the damage was done to the battlecruisers.

Despite two crossed T's, the battle proved to avoid being decisive. The high command plans more operations to lure out the Badassistanian fleet, and with luck, finally trap and destroy the world's largest navy.

[Badassistanian]

With the fleet breaking off the royal fleet begins to make its way back home.

The hull has been damage bad, but they stay afloat, with Yamaguchi's canons being worn from taking repeated fire. The sides are also picked off due to firing.

As a sign of respect for the fighting ability of the Togerian crews, they are dropped off at the closest inhabited island, without being taken prisoner of war. The ship's cannon and other valuable items are taken, before being scuttled. The two damaged Eisenlander cruisers link to port in Papua New Guinea.

They are later picked up by merchant ships as they tell the details of the battle. the navy now making sure to produce ships with stronger armor and dropping the mortars, instead replacing them with torpedoes to better deal with the Eisenlanders.

August 21st, 1898

Seven months of war. Since the beginning of hostilities, over 250,000 Eisenlanders have died of enemy action, disease, and simple accidents. Another 500,000 wounded solidify this war's place as Eisenland's deadliest. Thousands continue to sign up for the military every week - by now, over 400,000 volunteers have been sent to serve at the front, shifting out with war-weary veterans. Around 70,000-80,000 of the dead have been suffered in Belgium, the intense fighting around Spa having been the most intense combat yet seen on the Western Front.

The public continues to support the war effort, seeing the cause of Eisenland as a rightful and just one. Eisenland continues developing new weapons to break the stalemate, to be unveiled and produced in sufficient numbers in time for the still planned offensives of early 1899.

[Badassistanian]

A massive campaign to bring in more troops from around the empire begins with a goal of putting 500,000 Badassistan soldiers on the Belgium and Netherlands fronts. This campaign is being done in order to hopefully bring in the manpower need to advance the fronts.

[Molbovia]

Bulgarian Front:The Molbovian army pushes in with fierce.A special unit called "Petragant" changes in shouting "Heil Kaiser!" and with a special explosives manages to reach the forts.

Bulgarian Front: The Bulgarians continue firing their machine guns, firing with their bolt-action rifles and revolvers at close range before fixing their bayonets and fighting to the death.

Bulgarian Front: The Molbovian units fall back and regroup gathering again their men from all the other territories making 50.000 men again. They begin to travel and at the north part of Bulgaria.
