The Judas Stroke: California (MonsterSerg) Ambushes Peru (Эльф ушастый) in Galapagos

No warnings from the frontier could have prepared Peru (Эльф ушастый) for the shocking treachery in Galapagos, where cavalry squadrons of California (MonsterSerg) suddenly wheeled and struck their vulnerable flank.

Marking 4 transfers of authority during this protracted war, Dominician Republic has succumbed once again, taken by Texas (Luis Rodriguez) from the exhausted regiments of Peru (Эльф ушастый).

Kingston Capitulates Again: Texas (Luis Rodriguez) Overcomes Forces of Peru (Эльф ушастый)

Fortune turns once more over Kingston, which has now changed hands 2 times, as Texas (Luis Rodriguez) decisively ejected the defenders of Peru (Эльф ушастый).

It is generally admitted that the most persuasive argument of the entire diplomatic season was delivered by a twelve-pounder shell. Anxious relatives crowded the telegraph offices of Peru, seeking casualty lists that were not forthcoming.

Ascendant Preponderance: Texas (Luis Rodriguez) Absorbs 3 Additional Strongholds

An unbroken succession of operational successes has delivered 3 strongholds into the hands of Texas (Luis Rodriguez).

'In modern warfare, the telegraph wire is as lethal as the bayonet,' declared a chief electrical inspector. In the provincial districts of California, municipal councils drafted urgent appeals for national defence.

The ledger of California (MonsterSerg) is written in red ink this season (-1), leaving the realm with 23 centers. A painful contraction for Peru (Эльф ушастый), shedding 2 centers in revenue to retain only 6 centers. A vigorous quarter for Texas (Luis Rodriguez), which writes 3 fresh centers into its ledger and commands 28 supply centers.

Rumours persist that Texas has promised to back the territorial ambitions of California in exchange for naval concessions.

Thick fog blankets the harbors; merchant sloops sound mournful horns through the gray damp.
