The Great Asian War
The Empire of the Rising Sun has set, it seems, as this year the Wu Empire made great progress in its crusade, undoing a majority of the northern half of the empire, completely securing Guangxi to Bengal and much of Indochina. Thus enabled, Wu may be able to close the curtain on the Empire at sea, which desperately clutches onto the Philippines, Taiwan, and Ceylon.
In Oceania, however, the Empire fared worse still: Jasiran, hiring swaths of native mercenaries and incorporating multiple Indonesian tribes, attacked the Empire at multiple strategic points, even at one point cleverly inserting merchants into the capitol, whereby the entire city was destroyed in fire. The royal family was killed during this, forcing the leadership to officially rest in the Grand Admiral's hands, whose base is in Taiwan. It seems as if the Empire of the Rising Sun has had its last hurrah.
Tartesso-Teutonian War
Tartessos, in a brutal act of efficiency, assaulted Teutonia on all fronts, smashing southern garrisons and driving hard into the homeland, where the main Teutonian army was encountered. Unfortunately for Tartessos, however, the assault was quickly halted just a few kilometers out of the border, where the Teutonians manage to barely hold the line, in desperate need of reinforcements. (-3 bronze armies for Teutonia, -2 iron armies for Tartessos)
RANDOM EVENT: Plentiful rain helps stall recession in Chicago somewhat. (+5 growth points)
