To Sweden Your advisors have been cut out of the loop on major plans, and while the Brits decline your offer of sanctuary, they do it politely.

to Krennel: Cut out of the loop eh? I get the feeling someone is metagaming. Anyway, a military advisor cannot possibly help if he doesn't know about military matters.
Anyway, switch 'advisors' to 'spies' on the plan and proceed accordingly, while starting to pull the advisors back to Sweden one by one.

Singapore To Japan The Lady sips at her saki, apperently unpahsed by the tase, something admirable, yet lacking etiquette.
"It would appear then that we have the same general grasp on the world we live in, our only differences lie within what we intend to do with such a world." She paused, her brow raising, as if debating with herself, or considering his words one last time before speaking. "We understand your concerned for our actions in Borneo, but as you say, we currently we crumble under any organized attack. Do not concern yourself though, after your wise intervention, we replaced all our sticks with carrots. Perhaps they will join us being offered a more thriving economy, with all the benefits they had before, perhaps not.
"If we are on the matter of concerns for one another, may I offer one concern that we in Singapore have, that of your seemingly active relationship with the West. At the moment we have all faith in your intentions. So long as Western military might does not find its way near our shores, we will continue to to have faith in you and yours.
"Interesting you should speak of India though. I will have to let my King know in case there is anything of note he thinks you should know.
"Now then, as much as I would love to stay on your prosporous islands, I must return to my duties within my own home, unless there is something else you feel needs to be worked out between our nations?"
Borneo Along with sharing the wealth of Singapore with its much more active ports and economy in comparison to Borneo, Singapore has offered five ships from Singapore to be put under the direct command of any city in Borneo that chooses to join Singapore as a commonwealth. Inland areas are to be given horses Internal As quickly as the message can be sent after The Lady's conversation, the spies in Inida are to find two things. The first is the most promising leadership base for a rebellion and then structuring of government thereafeter from the local populace. The second is to see if they can find out what Japan is doing, and if they find out, to stay out of Japan's way.

To Sweden Almost every battle you have advised has failed, weather due to your incompetence or not, the parliament sees no reason, and neither does the royal family, to give you involvement in the more pressing military matters. In other words, the English cut you out, not the EIC

To Krennel All right. Battles at this era are decisive things; it seems the Northern Coalition forces are doing better than I had thought. That's good then, I've already secured my payment.

"No. You may leave." He escorts her to her ship through Tokyo's streets. They are all bustling with activity and show signs of a strong and growing empire. Whether or not it was an intentional show of strength isn't certain, but the message remains the same.
When she boards her ship, he calls out to her. "Let's have a prosperous future together. I am sure we can accomplish much if we cooperate and respect each other!" Then he turns around and leaves for the Imperial Palace.

Another six months have gone by. In the southern hemisphere winter is coming to a middle, while in the north summer sun shines bright. The Prussians declare war on the Brass Barony, Sweden, france, and due to recent evidence, the Irish. Avalonian Ironclads arrive at Ireland. A virulent disease has begun in China. At this point not much is known about it. It has spread through most of the country, and all forces have been cripple by the mortality rate. The Chinese don't have sufficient medicine to stop it, and ships carrying requests for help have been launched to every nation. Symptoms have been recorded as far away as Sri Lanka (a small island off the coast of India. So far Singapore and Japan appear to be unaffected.

Brass Barony
In the office of the Baron, August von Estor grins.
"All is as planned.. The Prussians have fallen into my web."
The armies of the Barony are mobilized, and sent to the edges of Baronial territory in Europe. The troops are not to march into Prussian lands until the Prussian army is exhausted and weakened.
The Baron hopes that his new legions of Brassmen can hold the line, as well as his human troops armed with a powerful new weapon: repeating rifles.
He sends the repeater-wielders to pick off Prussian officers as they move against the Barony.

Kingdom of Sweden
The Baltic Sea. Not often has it seen such a flurry of activity. The Swedish Navy has been busy sailing around the islands and has happened to end up near the main Prussian ports as the war is declared.
In the ports, certain shady figures are moving on the warships of the Royal Prussian Navy. Most of the soldiers and sailors stationed on board never wake up, even as the ships start moving. A good half of the fleet makes it's way to the Swedish Fleet waiting nearby, and the others are left burning and sinking.
In this chaos, it takes the Prussians a while to notice that many of their generals and important political figures appear to have perished during the night.
Meanwhile, near the islands in the Gulf of Finland, some warships are protecting a variety of boats, merchant vessels, cargo ships and such. Hundreds of small cylinders are dropped into the sea, just waiting for any Russian fleet movements. Judging from the fires at St. Petersburg, they might be slowed down in coming.

The Siege of Lanark
After another long day of bombardment from the cannons a message is sent from the besigers. "People of Lanark you have put up quite the resistance over these last months. For that you have earned our respect, but enough of this fighting. We urge you to surrender. No civilian will be harmed by our forces and all captured soilders will be fairly treated. Your current govener will have to step down but we will allow you to have a new govener of your choice. Your wounded will be cared for and your children fed. We give you three days to think about our terms." With that the messenger returns to Icelandic lines.

Prussia is half the size it was six months ago. The people of Lanark send their reply. "Don't you have to ask your Irish masters if you can do that!"

To GM: Is Russia dishonouring their treaty with Prussia or did they also join the war?

The troops march from Swedish Pomerania, gaining reinforcements from Estor and France. Meanwhile in Estonia the Swedish dig in, prepared to withstand whatever Russia decides to send to help it's ally. Fleets land assault forces and shell cities, not letting any Prussian ships leave their ports. Fortifications and castles prove sadly obsolete against heavily armoured Brassmen carrying directional explosives.

Estor to Sweden It seems the war is going far better then we ever imagined.
Have you given any thought to how we will divide Prussia? And perhaps even Russia, as well?
