British Empire III:

- The war isn’t going nearly as well as I thought it would, so actually Britain readily supports peace efforts. We’re willing to give up the rest of Egypt to the Ottomans.

- The British Home Fleet arrives at the Bay of Biscay, and moves in to engage the Ottoman Navy, initiating a massive naval battle. I’d like to think we have the upper hand what with our proximity to the battle and stuff.

- Britain announces its ‘Sky Britannia’ initiative, to design and build the world’s first helicarrier. Skeptics ask where Supreme Minister Johnson is going to get the money, but Johnson diverts their attention by criticising the German economy.

- Britain launches more satellites into space.

- We continue our retreat down the Cataracts, suffering heavy casualties, but slowing Ottoman advances.

- In South Africa, meanwhile, we set fire to acres of bushland in a bid to stop the Mughal advance. In some places we succeed in counterattacking, but the land we retake is burnt and ruined, because of the whole scorched-earth policy.

- In Kenya, we for now hold off the Mughals near the coast. The British in Africa are beginning to panic though, we realise we may have bitten off more than we can chew.
