Declaration of War
The Lord bids us to live our neighbors, so it is with a heavy heart that I must inform you my dear children that our fair nation now finds itself at war with the Emprie of Austria. On this day I have sent orders for my son Prince Frederick to match his army across our southern border at the earliest. I have also ordered Admiral Vlieger to send the Mediterranean fleet sail out from Malta and blockade the Austrian ports. He has been granted permission to draft any civilian ships he needs to maintain the blockade while also preparing for a land invasion from the coast. Grand Admiral Troomp has begun preparations to send a force to the Caribbean to seize Austrian colonial holdings. It is God's Will for there to be peace and our proud Dutch forced will see his will done.

When the Austrians get close enough, a flood of bullets and canister shot is unleashed on the Austrian line. Many troops fall. The Austrians, in their stupidity, tried to charge straight ahead into heavily guarded trenches. They would pay the price for such an attempt.
