To Pope Badger I

EXTREMELY CONFIDENTIAL

Seriously, really confidential

Your holiness, it has come to my attention that the allies of England are threatening the whole of Christendom, I would suggest calling a Crusade as was done in the days of yore, having the authorities of the world put aside their differences to drive the English scourge from the world!

Aboard the Invincible-  "Mr. Jorbs signal the outshore to come and help us with these French and Spanish!" The Invinicble fires a 64 gun broadside at a French frigate which blows up.  "Signal the Frigates to finish out the French frigates while the Ships of the Line take on the Spanish!"

OOC: @Sand I got west and east mixed up again, so you are correct.

In Scotland- Further up the road the English come to a cannon which fires at them and is then abandoned.

[LT Sandpaw]

OOC: That's fine.

-The Savoy fleet smashes into the rear of the Swedish ships attacking with Ship of the Lines. These twelve ships are not top of the line but they're sheer number of cannons and vessels outnumber and outgun the Swedish. Onboard the French Frigates Admiral Mousiler captures another Swedish Frigate and sends it towards shore to collect a full French crew. One of the 70s hooks lines onto the battered Invincible and after clearing its decks with grapeshot, French crewmen swarm onto the Swedish ship's deck wielding cutlasses and flintlocks.-

[Vilu Daskar]

Commodore Yilu sails in with the rest of the fleet. The Invincible's gun crews fire upon the French frigate attacking them, causing terrible damage below the water line. The captured Swedish frigate is sunk along with one of the three remaining frigates another is disabled with chain shot. Half The Invincible's deck is cleared with grape shot and the crew charges up to finish off the French.

[SilentSam]

Okay! Now Poland will be fought over! Fight! Fight! Whoever takes 4 major cities, Krakow, Warsaw, Vilnius, and Lwow (Lvov/Lviv), gets Poland. Even then, the conflicts can keep going!

[LT Sandpaw]

-French ships pound the last two remaining Swedish ship of the lines while French Crewmen swarm over the Invincible overwhelming the crew and capturing the ship. The Savoy fleet suffers some major damage and four are sunk. The vessels reform a loose formation and advance on Commodore Yilu's fast approaching vessel's. Admiral Mousiler signals for the three 70s to attack with the Savoy fleet while his lone remaining frigate take to port to repair and rearm.-

[Vilu Daskar]

Sablepaw and Ash

I have realized how power hungry the English really are. I will be pulling out my ships until I make up my mind on what to do. Any further fighting   between us will trigger an invasion of France by me.
