Part I, the Beginning of the Reconquista: 1836-1850
Part I, the Beginning of the Reconquista: 1836-1850
Alrighty, here we go. The general situation after a good amount of clicks and sliding sliders:
For a good part, I just sat there watching the world go by, Queen Vicky went on a annexation rampage, Ottomans asked me for an alliance, all the normal stuff. Mid 1838 I had saved up enough goods to buy myself some divisions, and placed them in my colonies, all native quality.
I expanded a steel factory...
I purchased three infantry divisions around mid March 1843...
Then, the first step in the Reconquista began...
Haiti falls to the might of the Spanish Empire
I began the construction of two more Creole divisions to garrison Haiti, to free up the three divisions and clipper transports for other duties. I also began, and completed an expansion of my ammunition factory in Castille, closing my loss-incurring small arms factory to employ it's workers in the making of bullets.
And then expanded it again.
Those Creole divisions I mentioned earlier finished training, and were deployed to Haiti to protect against evil American aggression.
I invaded Morocco a few months later, with six infantry divisions. I figured that if I didn't grab it soon, France would, as they had already taken a Tunisian province in a colonial war (why they did not annex them I don't know....).
On December 29, Morocco sued for peace, offering all provinces save their capital.
I'll be back once I can afford the DoW prestige hit.
And right near the end, I got Romanticism.
Ok, that was a bit cut, dry, and boring, and I apologize. I'll try to make it more exciting in the future. Maybe when the big wars start happening.
