Winter of 1618
England and pals fight against the Mughals
The going is smooth for the first week.The a the Emperor dies and his son takes his place.The son is a renowned militarist and alot of Mughal lords pledge allegiance to him,in the face of the overwhelming attacks comeing from all sides.The Persians were the first to meet the new Emperor in battle,and were sent packing.This encouraged more lords to go under his banner,as a chinese army made lunch meet out of the north indian lords and was marching through to delhi,the Emperor met the Chinese and sent them packing.Now the Mughal Emperor is scoping out the English forces(reinforced by the Venetian army) in east near the Delta,and it doesn't seem like the new Emperor will relent.

France looks like a second Britain
English instructors instruct France on how to be like them!Now France is more modern and luxurious,and it's people are happily living like Englishmen now.
France spanks the Ottoman Empire
France lands in Egypt,capturing Alexandria almost without a fight,and move southward to a pre-planned battle between the 2 rulers outside of Cairo.The French general (Jean Luke) made the best of his troops,and put the turks down hard,and most of Egypt fell after 2 months of consolidateing.

Ottoman Losses-90000,militia,1/16000,veteran,1
Biggest Naval battle to date
After the battle of Cairo,the Turkish Sultan sent his fleet south with orders "DO NOT STOP UNTILL YOU HAVE THE FLAG OF THEIR FLAGSHIP!".This was a mistake.The French Admiral (Paul Soile) was brilliant in his fleet maneuvring,and spanked the whole of the Turkish fleet,and captured many ships.

French Losses-10 Light Galleys

The Queztalaca Leagaca vs. Spain
A guerilla war happens in the east of the league,as well as at the Texas front.This makes the Spanish divert more forces for the push,and the defense of Texas....But 50 thousand more troops are sent from Spain to continue the war.It's mixed results in the east,and the queztal general (Ligok Sa) in Texas,from reports from his scouit staff,finds a moment to launch a dareing and crushing raid that turned into a full-scale battle in which the spanish lost.
The Queztal main army in the west marched further west,and took over everything to the pacific coast,where the marched south,down the coast and then took another turn...To the east...Where they met the bulk of the Spanish reinforcements.The Queztal general,as well as the queztal rank and file relentlessly charged the spanish lines.The Spanish had some 30 thousand men against the queztal 80+ thousand men.Technology had the upper hand this time,and the queztal general had to call off the campaign and is retreat very orderly back to the league.
Queztal Losses-35000,Veteran,1
Spanish Losses-20000,Good,1
The Chinese war
The Manchus keep the Chinese on their heels in the east,but soon Yu Wei's cavalry find the Manchu Cavalry and WHAM!!The Manchu Cavalry get torn to PIECES!!The Manchu Emperor accepts unconditional surrender after this.A similar happening is seen with the Mughal Lords,as they march into the Chinese Empire they meet a task force with the assignment of "Whupass duty".The Mughals get routed and the Chinese general even feels like he needs to cross into the Empire of the Mughals,where he is singled out by their new Emperor and promptly destroyed.Not a single man was left alive. Burma is a different story.Their small ragidy army is not quite equipped to go against China,but their leader makes up for it.A man of chinese education,he quickly sees the back of one chinese task force after another.Dai Vet has their army almost comlpetely obliterated,and guerilla armies pop up everywhere fighting against the chinese.
Chinese Losses-40000,veteran,1/6000,elite,2 (Yu Wei's men)

For those who had things mixed up,1 economy equips 1000 men per industry with 1 level higher worth of equipment.You can spend more than 1,and the effects will be times the number of economy spent.
