U.K. F E B R U A R Y 1914

- Despite stiff Ottoman resistance, British troops enter Farsala in mid-February, and reach the outskirts of Vosolo by the end of the month. However, there are heavy casualties in exploratory raids on Larissa and Karditsa.

- The siege of Tobruk continues, whilst British cavalry race across Libya. The RAF sees its first ever combat, in bombing missions on Ottoman defences around the city. Several warships shell the upper harbour, though the effectiveness of this attack is limited as the British wish to eventually capture the port and subsequently refrain in bombing indescriminately.

- The British Department of Military Science is founded at London. Development on two main projects begins: one to try and weaponise poisonous gases, another to attempt to design a heavy armoured vehicle that could bypass trenches and fortifications.

- Indian, Canadian and Anzan forces now arrive in earnest in Africa, with preparations made for a large-scale offensive to open a new front and divert troops from the Balkans.

- Enlistment is at an all time high, with propoganda playing a large role. After all, the war will be over before Christmas, right?
