The Scottish Annals
1424-1451
As the year 1424 came to a close, King James, perhaps encourage by his Tyronian allies, declared war on Leinster, the last enemy of Ireland. Although Brittany and England would join in on the war, Leinster had little chance against the advancing English army and fell in the same year.
With the annexation of Leinster completed, James turned his troops to England who was still recovering from the last Scottish invasion. With only minimal amounts of troops and all of them being located in Ireland, James was able to march swiftly across the English landscape culminated in the siege of London in 1428. Unfortunately for our king, English Peasants began uprsing around London, eventually defeating James and his army, pushing them back into Oxfordshire.
The following year, James and his men marched back into London to take it from the peasants. Meanwhile, the second army in Ireland began gearing up to retake the provinces lost to the English.
In 1432, with the war exhausting our troops and other resources, James sued for peace, gaining the provinces of Lancashire and Yorkshire. With revolts threatening almost everywhere in Scotland, James pushed for free subjects in attempts to appease the people including the newly added English population. Unfortunately, Northumbrian Patriots and Peasants uprose, causing much turmoil.
For years relations between Denmark and Scotland have been falling. In attempts to assuage this, King James sent diplomats to Denmark, asking King Eric II for an alliance.
In 1437, King Charles of France declared war on Avignon, Burgundy, and England by way of Castille. Honoring our agreement, our King decided it was best to go into war with them, hoping to gain even more ground against the English AND improve relations with two growing powers in mainland Europe. While our troops worked quickly in England and by 1438 our troops had gained Lincoln, Gwynedd, Marches, Glamorgan, and Oxfordshire thanks to the Castillian Diplomats.
Due in part to English's decimation and the lack of troops, Lancaster rebels declared their independence from the crown in 1444, following Henry, the Duke of Cornwall.
Sadly, James I died two years later, never seeing the full formation of Lancaster, who annexed England in 1447. James' son, James II, just as foolish as his father, took the throne, promising the unification of all the British Isles.
Not months after Henry fashioned his new kingdom, James II, in attempts to prove himself much like his father did, declared war on Lancaster, launching 12,000 troops into London and East Anglia.
Because of King James II's negligence as a leader and his stupidity on the battlefield, James lost is life while tracking Cornish Patriots in Cornwall. With no heir ready to take the throne, a regency council of his uncle David Duke of Rothesay and adivsers, took control of the war. However, with no general to lead the armies of Scotland, the Lancaster troops were able to outwit the Scottish armies up until 1451 when a new surge would occur and Lancaster would be diminished.

Woah... I guess your colonization won't really be thrown off by too much. Seriously you conquered fast.
OE second session.
Archea fell...Burned to the ground it was. City fell within a day to the teams of soldiers that sneaked inside on the days prior to the siege and set the city on fire while the attackers sieged the walls. Defenders were cut from behind and their loved ones burned.
With the last of the great Greek cities fallen, nothing stood between the Ottomans and their old enemy Byzantine Empire hiding in their great fortress of Thrace.
Fooolishly they allied themselves to Transilvania. years ago the Sultan promised that the Byzntine empire will be his and he will rule from their capital city. At last this came to pass. Standing on the hill overlooking the city and seeing the hopeless remains of the great Byzantine host guarding the walls, Sultan came to a sudden humbling realization: no matter how proud or powerful nation might be there is always possibility for the end.
Due to the bravery of its defenders, all soldiers were allowed to die with the sword in their hands. However the cites history would not be allowed to remain. One in three families in the city were moved to the corners of the empire, replaced by families from other cities. The City Itself was renamed so not even the name survived as a rallying point for the old nationalists, and set as capital of the new Ottoman Empire.
With its position in Greece solidified, Ottomans turned their attention to converting it to the one true religion. For that the money were needed. As well relations were needed to be improved with our European neighbors Castille, Milan, Austria and Poland.
Aquileira was annexed and given as a birthday present for the king of Milan to solidify our good relations and as proof of our good intentions of not interference in Europe. Same was done with the Austrian king, who received Pecs as a sign of good will.
Spain seemed not interested in any relations with he Ottomans, and simply declined any overtures for diplomatic relations. This did not bother the sultan since the mighty Spaniards were more involved with their wars in Europe and seemed too busy making friends elsewhere to be interested in OE or our words.
What worse was Poland, allied Lithuania it joined a war on Golden Horde which was currently beligued by Sweden and Lithuania. GH was loosing badly when OE diplomats were sent to Poland to defend its interests.
Poland was asked to stay away from Muslim lands wich were much closer in culture to Turks than they were to catholic Poles. After a while a reply arrived. Sultan was told that poles will not stop at just taking the Tartar lands and were adamant on not letting OE having any of the lands there.
Spies were sent to support rebellions in Poland, however it only served to stop the Poland’s current war with the GH. Any further diplomatic overtures were met with silence.
Shortly after, Poland declared on Hungary, which at the time served as a buffer zone between the Ottomans and Poland. This was a danger not to be trifled with. With the common border and its superior army and allies Poland would be able to attack OE at will.
While Poland was sieging Hungarian provinces, Ottomans allied old Polish enemy Golden Horde. They were only too happy to join, and so the war on Poland and Lithuania was declared.
All force was concentrated on Lithuania who signed White peace after its 7k army was destroyed and one province sieged. Poland on its hand, signed a WP with Golden horde meantime and Ottomans were stuck in an equal war.
Army or 12k Ottomans wandered into Poland and were met by 11k horsemen of Poland. Flying gusars were superbly led and repelled the Turk attack time and time again. After the second battle they set to chase the retreating OE army and only the 6 speed general and 3k reinforcement helped army survive the annihilation.
OE troops were chased deep into OE territory and all was almost lost. it was all saved by a young colonel of the scouts. At the head of the 3k cavalry he went around the Polish forces and took the polish capital and commenced a siege of two other cities. Poland was forced to give up its chase of OE forces and retreat. Running out of manpower and 3 of its cities being taken and most of the rest sieged by the rebels.
Ottoman terms were simple: only White peace was demanded with stipulation that Poland will give up any claims on GH Muslim lands.
Besides that history is silent about the Great Fake Timuruid War. Few skirmishers went across the border to fin out the strength of the enemy. The expedition discovered huge cities with forts and countless armies dwarfing our own. With such huge odds against us we have to be careful of our southern neighbor, perhaps careful enough to give up them some of our own land to please the beast...

hmmm elcyion making an AAR, i would be VERY interested to see that, is that a first?
The Grand Plot of Denmark
King Christian I was very annoyed at Brandenburg and more so at Austria. so he decided to manipulate Milan and convince Castille that something needed doing. Plans were made for the three to attack Mecklemburg, making use of the fact that it was guaranteed by Brandenburg and part of the HRE to Austria.
Then the HRE was lost to Poland i think, and the Danish king was like
. So he decided to make a friendly move to Poland and defeat some gruesome rebels. King christian I faced off with 6.000 infantry against 4.000 cav and 8.000 inf lead by a polish pretender. losses were heavy, but the Danish king prevailed with his supreme 6 star shock rank. too bad mister decided to die in sieging a Golden horde province during his shortlived campaign. His son Christian II also resented Brandenburg, so several years later, order 66 was executed and Castille dowed Mecklemburg. No one came to its aid and the allied were like . Austria seemingly got air of the coalition so he started placing troops on the border. Thus Castille made a direct dow on Brandenburg. The initial shock was lead by Castille on both fronts, fortifying the main assault by Milan and Denmark. Danish troops quickly ran deep into German territory but were rallied and beaten in Hannover by a massed 20K austrian army. Then The danish king with his 10,000 cavalry army fled to Gelre where he could replentish and join the fight. Then he got very annoyed at Holland, which seemed to have a too powerful navy, stealing 2 cogs from the great danish navy in the bay of oldenburg. Christian II was furious and he ordered his troops to start a siege on Utrecht. he got scared however, as the Dutch had a very big army and his assistance was required in Lubeck. The dutch were spared an invasion and the king took comfort in the fact that Holland was losing alot of gold to keeping up such an army. The north was quite docile, Danish troops running amock in Brandenburg but no real siege commenced, Chritian II often lost heart at the sigth of the big Brandenburg armies or the big Austrians. too bad that Austria was losing the war in the south. Miland and SPain gathered numerous succesfull sieges and rebels started stirring at both the enemies. Eventually there was a breaktrough with the Brandenburg and Dutch army combined in Lubeck, fighting the Spanish and Danish combined. Dutch army was effictively wiped and their homeland now ripe for invasion, was left unharmed. the Brandenburg army was mercilessly hunted down by the danish at the end, being slaughtered near their Capital. The Austrian armies were also wiped by a mass assault. Swedish alliance got ambitions so they dowed Brandenburg. The current HRE Palatinate also dowed Brandenburg by chance. the SPanish vassal muslims made their invasion of northern germany and Brandenburg was overrun by rebels. The germans surrendered and a peace was asked for. Denmark asked for Bremen and Mecklemburg, Spain demanded Oldenburg and Lübeck which was already effectively in its control. in the south, Milan demanded Tirol and Trent and Spain demanded Görz and Istria. upon peace, Brandenburg collapsed due to rebels, breaking free Hannover as a 4 province state. Danish king being the vulture he is, immediately dowed that state, seizing Hannover, Lüneberg and Osnabruck for himself, all being former Brandenburgian provinces. the Danish king got comments from brandenburg to be very fast and ming pointed out that brandenburg was very succesfull in making plots. Castille hoped never to be on the receiving end of Danish plots but Denmark now knowing peace and having achieved its victory, was quiet. Then a diplomatic move was made to shock the world! First Christian II died, he was a bad king even though he conquered alot of land. his successsor was even more a retard but thats not the point. An alliance was offered to Brandenburg under the condition of a mututal defense/agression pact. Denmark would assist his to move into Germany and he would assist Denmark in scandinavia. thus an alliance was proclaimed and the alliance with Spain disbanded. Milan was also disbanded after some time, but still guaranteed. Brandenburg rushed us into some wars blabla and we reached america blabla. we are rich and surprised France is not. We help the Polish and fuel their war blabla. end of story.
sorry for the bad AAR but meh.
