So I have the two sides October orders, which I will resolve tomorrow, then come back for November orders. So things will be moving along shortly.
I have time this weekend to get caught up on that, and start my prep for the next Expansion phase.
Did they beat the drum slowly,
Did they play the fife lowly,
Did they sound the death march, as they lowered you down,
Did the band play the last post and chorus,
Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest

I flaked and didn't get to it until tonight.

Onto November !

To answer Rocky's question from the story thread...

As far as characters go, Fabron is going to get the MacArthur treatment. To politicly expensive to fire because the press blew his accomplishments up to 11, but he made exactly zero friends at the Admiralty and lost most of those he had for sticking two Dreadnaughts into a mined-water scenario. As far as ships go, on my side, Argonauta did a ton more work then I though she would.

Tac and I will catch Texas up as we have time, but by October/November I would expect that we are starting to see the early stages of trench warfare in the Texas panhandle. The far north would likely still see mobile horseback action.

Who cheer when solider lads march by
Sneak home and pray that you'll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go.

Just an FYI to all, this conflict will be coming to a close in December 1914. Tac and I will be finishing up the story work on it as time permits, along with the peace conference. The peace conference will be finished IC by 1915H2, but we will have the OOC framework of the agreement set soon.

The Japanese, Aztec, and even Roman fleets have taken big hits.
I think you will still find some buyers.

So what am I supposed to do now with this invasion fleet?

I'd suggest using to attack the Maya. They are cuddly AND next door to your new possessions.
oh, and you already started a war with them.

Or you could still take a swing at me, Im sure the Japanese Marines would love to learn the same lessons their Roman counterparts have just gotten.

You'll have to explain that to the Mayans, I'm sure they will be receptive to the babblings of the imperialist warmongers seeking to overthrow the people's regime.

A note on the conference, which I think I already mentioned earlier. Tac and I have already agreed on what the IC agreement will represent, we just figured it would far more interactive to play it out. If at any point someone has a 1915H2 plan that its absolutely critical to know the resolution of this, I'd be happy to provide that information privately.

Iberia was planning on sending a massive wave of shipping and infrastructure BP to the Caicos in a soft-power attempt at conquering the islands themselves by building a 5G wifi network using only Iberian parts.....
