Show me your orders/battle plans!

1. I am not spending my 2 base eco, I want to get up to the next eco level (according to the rules I still have my eco center points to spend, which I will do)

2. Invest four eco in UU (see below and in thread)

3. Invest 3 eco in navy

1. Found new UU: Imperial Cossack Division
2. Import and find within Russia select successful generals, commanders, etc. They are to begin rigorous training of troops and commanders. I am not directly investing eco into this for now, because I want select generals training select groups. I am not looking right now for an all around military reform, I am looking specifically to create a core of troops that I can rely on. Since this is a very small project, I do not see how direct investment would be necessary at this time.

3. Order expansion in the east. I want to complete my colonization of the Aleutians and begin colonization of the Alaska Peninsula. There is extraordinary wealth to be had from the fur trade (along the coast in particular), and I don't want my people to miss out on this.

4. Position my troops thusly: 10,000 in Poland and Ukraine plus 10,000 Cossacks (this is their native region); 5,000 Cossacks in Central Asia, particularly along the border with the "barbarian" Turks; 10,000 in the Caucuses; 10,000 in the north through the Baltics, Karelia, and the Kola Peninsula; 10,000 in the Russian Far East and Siberia plus 5,000 Cossacks; and 5,000 in the Aleut Colony of the Aleutians, Alaska, and other islands

5. Position my navy thusly, supposing the 10 ships already in my stats are in the Baltic: My Baltic Fleet will continue to have 10 ship, my Azovian Fleet (Sea of Azov, the extension of the Black Sea on which I have a port) will have 10 ships, and my Pacific Fleet (including the Arctic, the Aleutian, Alaska, the Sea of Okhotsk, and the rest of the Pacific) will have five ships (keep most of them on the Aleutians and the route between Asia and Alaska, the rest in the Sea of Okhotsk or in port).

1. Begin measures to gain the preference of the Evenks. In modern OTL Russia, the Evenks control the largest swath of territory next only to the Russians themselves. With the borders of this NES they control a large swath Northern China. I want the Evenks to prefer me to the Chinese. My officials are to give gifts to the Evenks, honorary titles to their leaders, fill as many local government positions as possible without getting other native groups angry with Evenks, etc. Do whatever it takes to make the Evenks love Mother Russia, as long as it doesn't cause other groups to feel badly towards the Russians. The Evenks are also already Orthodox Christians (by choice), even in China, so this should add some clout. Perhaps place some Russian Orthodox clergymen as officials in the region so that they will like us more. In the very small area were Tibetan Buddhism is predominant, don't use the Russian Orthodox clergymen, they could be a little over-zealous. Also do this very low key, I don't want the Qing catching on to anything either.

2. Do similar things with groups that I have conquered in East Europe, particularly the Finno-Ugrics. I want those under my control (Poles, Lithuanians, etc.) to feel affection for Mother Russia and feel that they have power, at least in their own land, under me. For the Finno-Ugrics I want them to feel that I am the best power around to live under. Currently the Swedes and Austrians rule over other Finno-Ugrics (in particular the Finns and the Hungarians). These two initiatives fit in with my reforms, as the reforms give some power in national government to non-Russians through several bodies, included the highest one (well, at least for Slavs and particularly for Ukrainians and Belarusian’s who are considered part of a Greater Russian ethnic group, the Russian flag feature a color for each [red for Russia, blue for Ukraine, and White for Belarusian IIRC])

1. In co-ordination with the last two programs mentioned under the "Government/Other Internal Affairs" section, secretly maneuver loyal Evenks over the border and into China where they can spread word of the better treatment of Evenks in Russia the in China, which they should probably believe easily considering the Qing were pretty hostile to their subjects and the Evenks were always capable of rebellion. I DO NOT WANT THE QING TO KNOW ABOUT THIS!!!!! Take every precaution to prevent the Qing from finding out. I don't really expect that they could considering it is on the border of their empire and I have a NAP with them, but still, TAKE ALL PRECAUTIONS!!!!

Nation Background: Another victor of the past war. Russia captured East Prussia and some of West Prussia and was critical in cutting Prussia off from the sea. A growing problem is the mal-content of the serfs who are constantly trying to liberate themselves. They are now aided by the Polish and Prussians that now have to work in the same way. A conspiracy could brew but there is always the Russian Army to take care of things.

2 base + 7 banked + 4 trade = 13 total eco to spend

1.) 1 eco into project (see below under Project)
2.) 1 eco into trade (see below under Domestic Policy)
3.) 4 eco into UU [40 thousands UU]
4.) 3 eco into navy [30 ships]
5.) 3 eco into navy training
6.) 1 eco into logistics (see below under Military Policy- Cree and Military Policy- Nortugal)

The Port of Sanna is complete. Now, the second part of my three part project series:

Gardens of Nokemis (+2 eco points per turn, +2 infrastructure, +expansion of Trinitarianism): The Gardens of Nokemis are not a single, large entity. Rather, it is a series of convents and monasteries spread across the Kingdom of the Dawn Lands. Within these monasteries and convents live Brothers and Sisters of the Green Mount, a monastic order founded by Saint Alliquippa the Green Lady. The convents act as agricultural communes, producing many goods. They also act as an infrastructure network, being spread throughout the Kingdom and having well-worn paths connecting them.

Domestically, this turn is to focus on the economy.

1.) It has been a while since furs took off for the first time in Europe. However, there are undoubtedly more markets to pursue. In particular, the Norse and the Wenedians seem ripe for a boom in the fur trade. Positioned in very cold climates, furs are a necessity for them. This can be easily taken advantage of, due to American furs being a) superior in quality and b) far more abundant.
2.) With long sea voyages increasing dramatically in number, scurvy is undoubtedly becoming a serious problem the world over. We should be taking advantage of this. Utilizing the abundant vitamin c-rich berries and apples of the region in combination with the famed maple sugars of the American North East, encourage the mass production of preserves. These will then be transferred to Sebayik, Sunrise [Bermuda], and my other ports will they will be sold, cheaply, to foreign merchant, and military, ships. This should bring a large boost in trade as all nations that plow the Atlantic will be using our cheep and unspoilable preserves to stave off scurvy.

Evangelism and alliance.

4.) Lastly, but in no way, shape, or form least, great efforts should be made at converting the Cree. Or, at least, great efforts should be made at creating martyrs to set examples for the Cree of the dedication Trinitarianism creates. This should have a similar effect to the early Christians being willingly martyred in the coliseums, though perhaps on a larger scale as the Amerindian religions tend to value bravery at a very high level.
5.) Sign The Great Law of Peace and Power.

The Cree have had their games long enough. It is time to put an end to this war.

1.) 10 thousands Brothers of the Order of the Blessed Cross and 2 thousands of he normal military are to be sent into the Cree territory.
2.) Where as before the focus was on village by village, clan by clan the Cree have shown that this approach isn't going to work as well. As such, the focus now will be on luring the united Cree forces out into open battle. To do this, the troops are to find a location along the main path in the Cree territories, having already made sure that the Cree no my general location. Then, position my normal troops on the path itself while the Brothers take the forests far enough away as not to be detected while close enough as to be at immediate hand.
3.) Once the battle site has been chosen, the Cree being lured out by what appears to them to be a small number of troops (the two thousands) the troops are to take position in lines, and that front, in the middle three "flag bearers" are to take position. Rather than bearing flags, they are to each be bearing a large wooden cross as if it were a staff, though tall enough that it rises to the height a flag would be flown at. The middle cross will be somewhat higher and made of a white wood, that on the left will be of the same wood dyed blue, and than on the right of the same wood dyed green. While the sides stare each other down, the three are to begin singing a battle hymn of some sort, and gradually, line by line, the troops are to join in. This should significantly weaken the morale of the opponents and boos my morale, as well as making it obvious that my side is fighting for the Trinity and that any victory is to be considered a gift of the trinity. As the enemy become more and more unnerved, my Brothers are to slowly close into the battle field, moving to a positions in the woods at the edges of the battle field on either side of the Cree stretching to behind them. Then, suddenly, the troops will stop singing and the Brothers will begin singing a different hymn, one of the forgiving love of the Trinity and the call to serve them, in unison whilst they charge from their cover at the Cree from both sides and in a swing from behind. The Cree forces will be utterly surprised by the charge, and in their confusion my normal troops will raise the song again as they charge (except of course for the cross bearers, who will stand rock still as my forces stream around them) directly at the now thoroughly demoralized and most likely disorganized enemy. With the massive amounts of troops, the enemy should be easily cut down and victory secured. Any troops that admit defeat and ask for mercy are to be given it and be allowed to flee home to spread word of the Battle of the Crosses and the victory of the Trinity over their g-ds. After this conquering and converting the remaining Cree should be easy undertaking the normal town-by-town convert or conquer tactic.

The Second Atlantic War can no longer be ignored. Nortugal is an ally whose territory has been occupied. Thus, as part of the League of Three Circles, we are entering the war.

1.) While we will be fighting as part of the League's forces, we are also doing something a little radical. We are declaring a Crusade (this is appropriate as the 'crus' comes from Latin 'crux' for cross, which is the main symbol of Trinitarianism, all of which I am sure you know) against Nortugal. Do this based on our friendship with Nortugal, the threat that their destruction would cause towards Trinitarianism, and quotes from Membertou, St. M'sartto of the Cross, etc. This should rally troops up, boosting moral, positioning the war as a sort of Trinitarianism vs. Solism thing, and possibly even raise levies from the Trinitarian communities both inside and outside the kingdom.
2.) I have one eco invested into logistics here and with my Cree campaign, but that is only insurance. Adena and the AC have agreed to supply the logistics money for the entire endeavor due to my contributing a larger amount of troops and ships. Thus, my logistics investment is most likely overkill.
3.) I will be dedicating 40 ships and 40 thousands Brothers of the Blessed Cross to the effort. They are to disembark from Sebayik to Sunrise (Bermuda) where they will meet up with AC and Adena navies to form a united League of Three Circles navy. From there they will head to Nortugal stopping over at the Azores. While this will likely avoid confrontation with enemy navies, be prepared just in case. Should we be faced with a Gallic force use or superior numbers, speed (as our design is a hybrid of Nortuguese style with Amerindian technique, which should likely produce a ships designed for speed), and untraditional techniques (reference the naval Battle of Sunrise in which I used flaming arrows and combusting stones) to outmaneuver them and force them into retreat/submission. Should I be faced with a Dacioillyrian force, focus on utilizing our speed advantage to outmaneuver them followed by the flame tactics to force them into retreat or submission.
4.) From the Azores the ships should sail to the ocean southwest of Ireland where they will meet up with the Nortuguese (and I think Norse, though I am not sure) fleet in an attack to destroy the Solist navy utilize similar tactics as above, outmaneuvering the and pressuring them using superior numbers (if we have superior numbers, as I think we will but I am not sure) followed by flame tactics which, combined with the obvious benefits of causing ships fires (just about the worst thing possibly at sea) and the secondary benefits of demoralization should either destroy the Solist fleet, force it into submission, or force it to retreat and thus hand over naval superiority to the Leage-Nortugal-Nordrike alliance. Should the Nortuguese not be there, carry out the plan any way focusing even more on a combination of speed and flame tactics.
5.) From there my fleet is to separate from the rest of the League fleet, heading to the Old Head of Kinsale (see attached map) where the Brothers of the Blessed Cross will disembark into the countryside some ways south of the actual head close to the interior mountains. 1/2 of the remaining ships (20 if all remain) will remain in the region between Mizen Head and Wexford Bay maintaining naval superiority. The other half will head back round Mizen Head to establish naval superiority between Mizen Head and Erris Head, in particular guarding the entrance to the Shannon Estuary and River.
6.) Meanwhile, the Brothers are to rally Nortuguese levies within their region. This is one of the things they are particularly good at. In addition, the Nortuguese appear to be very proud people who would resist foreign occupation whole heartedly. A number of levies should be easy to raise and organize.
7.) The levy and monk army should begin moving through the countryside in the Iceni and Cymru controlled territory, making surprise attacks before retreating back into the mountains. This will utilize the terrain knowledge of the levies and the expertise of the Brothers at untraditional warfare and leading levies. It will also work to demoralize the Solist troops who will not be consistently taken by surprise and unable to face us in battle in the mountains where the Brothers' guerilla tactics and the levies' terrain knowledge is particularly useful.
8.) Begin expanding my raids into Gallic controlled territory around the Nortuguese capital. Try to raise more levies there to join my cause.
9.) Once the Solists have been significantly weakened and demoralized and the Nortuguese significantly rallied, my troops are to enter the open with a majority of the Brothers sticking to the woods and hiding so that my forces appear weak and the Solists are lured out into battle. Specifically, make sure that the battle takes place along Cork Harbor so that the enemy emerge from the town into the countryside along the Harbor and are lined with their backs against the water. When the battle ensues, while the sides are staring each other down, the Solists against the water, the levies lined up opposite them, and the Brothers in the woods on either side. Additionally, a quarter of the ships in the region are to move into the harbor where they will set up archers and catapults for the purpose of flame warfare. The Brothers will begin chanting hymns from the woods. Slowly, on either side three cross bearers (see Military Policy- Cree). After a round of chanting, the chanting will stop for about a minute (though it will undoubtedly seem like much longer to the Solists) and the Brothers will emerge at a run, picking the chant up again, surrounding the Solists on two sides (with the levies on the third and the water on the fourth). At the same time as the Brothers emerge, breaking into a run, the ships are to let loose with the fire volleys. The enemy will certainly break formation making a route easy.
10.) After routing the enemy, proceed to secure the rest of the region south and east of the Shannon. This should be easy given I already have a large force of levies and have just won a large battle against combined Iceni, Cymru, and Gaul forces. My ships are to return to establishing naval superiority.
11.) From there my troops are to march to join the siege on the occupied Nortuguese capital. Additionally, position half of my troops from that region in the river (or bay, its hard to tell from the map) with flame-siege weapons prepared. When the troops and my allies are ready, attack the city utilizing the flaming bombardment to decimate the enemy on the walls, create havoc, and to scare off any reinforcements that approach and any other Nortuguese troops positioned outside the city. As before, use crosses, hymns, and what not to create a religious atmosphere to my attack.
12.) After the city is taken, move into the Roman controlled area where the Battle of Cork is to be similarly redone on the shore of Lough Corrib, including the ships who are to enter the lake from Galway Bay. After the Roman forces have been defeated, maneuver northwards to lay siege to the city in the same manner as the earlier siege, with the ships positioned in the Shannon River (approximate spot is marked on the attached map). If I am entirely mistaken and the city on the map is meant to be Galway, then switch the numbers on the attached map but keep tactics, strategy, etc. the same (just slightly adjusted for the region, such as switching whether the ships go up the Bay of Galway or the Shannon River).
