Angevin Empire

- The English revolt picks up pace through the winter, as French forces continue to grumble stuck on the mainland. Angevin troops in other circumstances would have gone round Gibraltar, but the war between Andalusia and Morocco prevents the mass movement of troops through this area currently. In late March, the ice thaws and boats begin ferrying troops to Anglaterre, but precious time has been lost.

- Leader of the English rebels, skilled commander Bernhard Montgomery, proclaims the forming of a new English republic. Montgomery’s forces by March have taken the north of the province, and in April fight messy battles for control of the highly industrialised Lierpul-Sheffæld area against the Angevin armies originally stationed at Lundenwic.

- The Angevin-Lesothan War flares up again in late February, and by now it’s apparent the good fortunes of the Lesothans are over. By April the war seems practically won by Duke Aquitaine, who has connected with the besieged marines at eThekwini and split Lesotho in two. Some Lesothan armies still fight on, but the worst of the war’s fighting can be said to be over.

- With Angevin facing its worst combination of crisis in decades, factions on the political left and right make their moves and prepare to assert their place in the empire. L’estate Noir, the French UltraNats, hold a massive rally at Lyon, during which UltraNat politician Pierre Laval declares war on the nobilistic system and vows for a change in leadership by the year’s end.
