[hider=Orders]
- Posting IC will be immensely beneficial to you as a player. It is, however, not necessary. This is designed so that you can still send in your orders if you are too busy to post, but posting IC will provide a tangible bonus to your DRM (Die Roll Modifier).
- Each [b]Turn[/b] represents one In-Game Month. The player will submit [b]3 Orders[/b].
- Each order is then subject to a 1d6 roll. A 6 means a perfect execution and a 1 means a horrible failure. Posting IC gives you a +2 die roll to a single order, or a +1 die roll to all three. [Specified at the end of your IC post.]. This means that more active players are rewarded.
- [b]Orders[/b]:
* [b][color=yellow]Economic[/color][/b]: An order designed to benefit the nation economically.
* [b][color=red]Military[/color][/b]: An order designed to affect your military.
* [b][color=green]Diplomacy[/color][/b]: An order designed to conduct diplomacy.
* [b][color=blue]Imperialism[/color][/b]: Exploring and developing new lands.
* [b][color=gold]Conference[/color][/b]: Used to call a [i]Political[/i] or [i]Military[/i] Conference. Select which nations to invite. Begins a [b]Conference[/b]. (See PM for rules).
* [b][color=gray]Attempt Invention[/color][/b]: Used to attempt a new invention. Must be relevant to current technologies and success depends on a 1d6. Great Powers receive a +1.[/hider][hider=Tensions]

[b][h3]July 8th[/h3][/b][indent]The [b]Vigentan Imperial Guard[/b] is ordered demobilized, with only the [b]2nd Infantry Division[/b] remaining in the city of Julia to maintain order. All soldiers who fought in the Julian War will be allowed two weeks paid leave on their return, considerably raising morale. In Cogoli, there were great celebrations of the expansion of the Vigentan empire--the breadth of it's domain, now sharing a border with the [b][color=beige]Seljuk Empire[/color][/b] as well as the [b][color=blue]Senurjji Sultanate[/color][/b], a client state of the aforementioned empire. The average Vigentan soldier had proven himself capable, while the Vigentan High Command was still finding it's feet in the New Century. They fought valiantly and with respect. Their armaments were inferior to the Julians but proved capable of handling adversity with superior logistics. The [b]5a Divisione[/b] had seemed exceptional combat and were the decided veterans of the campaign.

Demobilization would take the remainder of the month but would cut monthly Army expenses down by two thirds, effectively halting the hemorrhaging of Vigentan coffers who had amassed nearly $4,500,000,000 in debt for the 1906 fiscal year. While no attempts were made to finance this, the country seemed destined for economic ruin. A minor bright spot was the consolidation of nearly $64,000,000 Julian denares, almost $30,000,000 in viable Julian assets. Prime Minister Antonio Gorizia met with the Pope on the steps of the Grand Cathedral on July 8th, a week following the official end of the war. To much fanfare, the assembled crowds. The Gorizia government was now facing it's highest approval rating yet.

[indent]Itheraen ammunition, rifles and guns finally reach the front. The [b]June 5th Offensive[/b] reaches a critical point with the Tyrian reserves being admitted to the battle. With 60,000 men committed to the salient--the Helroxi passed into Tyrian territory for the first time, entering the border town of Meggendorf where Tyrian soldiers of the [b]2nd Field Army[/b] had been pushed back. Antony Kylov's [b]90th Cavalry[/b] was still reforming, with soldiers who had been ordered far away now being ordered back. Casualties on the Helroxi side are immense, with nearly 14,000 men being wounded or killed in four days of fighting from July 8th to July 12th.

[i]June 5th Offensive entering the Tyrian town of Meggendorf, July 9th, 1905[/i][/center][/indent][b][h3]July 9th[/h3][/b][indent]In the [b][color=blue]Illesian Kingdom[/color][/b], the Naval Triumvirate sends out a request for a new battleship. The request for international bids went out to every nation capable of building a warship of the requested specifications:
1. Mount a uniform main battery of ten 12-inch guns with two guns each in five turrets.
2. Mount at least 10 but not more than 16 rapid-firing 4-inch guns for defense against smaller vessels.
3. Have an armor belt with a thickness ranging from 4-11 inches.
4. Have a deck armor thickness ranging from 0.75 to 3 inches.
5. Have barbettes of 4 to 11 inches in armor thickness.
6. Have turrets with armor thicknesses ranging from 3 to 12 inches.
7. Have conning towers with 11 inches of armor.
8. Have bulkheads with 8 inches of armor.
9. Ability to load 80 rounds for each 12-inch gun and 200 rounds for each 4-inch gun.
10. The vessel should ideally hold enough fuel to sail for at least 6,000 nautical miles.
11. It is hoped the vessels will have a top speed of 20 to 21 knots.

Two bids were received, as the [b]Helroxi & Tyrian Shipyards[/b], embroiled in a war with one another, could not afford to build international vessels:

[b]Total Cost[/b]: $7,550,000
[b]Description[/b]: Given the lack of viability of mounting ten guns on any floating platform--as this was more than [u]double[/u] the largest existing ship in the world, Taran ship designers at Steelcastle sent the following design. Considered a safe design, the [i]Dreadlord[/i] would still be the largest ship afloat with a formidable armament of 4 12" guns, in line with existing designs but weighing in at nearly 3,000 extra tons with torpedo tubes and enough secondary armaments in casemates to fend off smaller vessels at range.
