-We've got a flag now. It's not my best work, but I think it's pretty good.

-Recruit soldiers in the Congo to help us defend the Low Countries

-Not too worried about the Dutch West Indies or the Dutch Caribbean, but the army of the Congo prepares to invade German Cameroon and German East Africa.

-Send a message to the president of Portugal: Hey, would you mind joining the war against Germany? You'd be free to take Germany's East African and South-West African colonies for yourself. That would be a great help to Britain, France and I, and you'd get land and resources out of it.

-Agree to join the Scandinavians' alliance. Their armies should be arriving in Schleswig-Holstein within days.

-The Low Countries navy has three goals: Capture the Frisian Islands, Block entry to the River Elbe, and Blockade Bremerhaven. The Navy makes multiple landings on each of the German Frisian Islands and quickly captures the mostly unsettled islands. In Brunsbüttel, the Navy fires cannons and launches quick land raids and manages to collapse or otherwise destroy the bridges spanning the River Elbe, as well as the ones crossing the Kiel Canal. This renders it almost if not completely impossible for ships to enter or exit the River and access the inner port city of Hamburg until the destruction is removed, which could take weeks even without the war. Lastly, Dutch ships position themselves in a semicircle around the port of Bremerhaven, firing the artillery at any passing ships.

-Recall as many forces from the Mediterranean as possible. We leave one ship and plane squadron, just enough to keep the Ottoman troops distracted.

-Factories working overtime to make equipment.

-We hold the Germans with trenches at Brussels and along the existing fortifications on the Dutch-German border, but with the new recruits and reinforcements from allies we begin pushing back at Mons and Eindhoven.

-An early machine gun prototype is tested at Brussels and Mons. luckily for me the game goes 4 months so Germany can repair that in a single turn
