Angevin Empire

- In the early hours of Nov 5, symbolic as the date English partisans blew up the old French parliament, shots from multiple artillery guns batter the Palace of Versailles. The large guns have been positioned inside the Palace Grounds by defecting guards cooperating with L’Estate Noir. The barrage lasts 45 minutes before the military arrives, at which point the UltraNats abandon their guns and flee the scene. Multiple fires have started, and the worst comes to pass: Emperor Henri VI is dead, and, worst of all, heirless.

- Duke Aquitaine, by now having arrived at Nantes and rushing east to Angers, proclaims himself the new emperor as King Philip VII. He is however opposed by several prominent nobles, who install Duke Champagne as King Jean III. As Philip nears Angers, a large army with him, the country holds its breath over what may be about to happen.

- English forces surround and besiege Lierpul, and French forces at Manchæester are overrun by an English offensive. Advance forces of English tanks under General Montgomery reach Sheffæeld before the winter. Elsewhere in England, the situation is terrible as the French army confiscates English farms for their food and English factories for their steel to make weaponry.
