In 1828, England declared war on Germany for her greedy land grabbing of the English countryside. Her navy formed 2 fleets, one in the channel between their island and the mainland and a smaller fleet by the newly formed German city. Unfortunately, she underestimated the power of the German war machine. Her assault on the city was halted shortly after it began, and the fleet in the channel was busy trying to stop Germans army from crossing the water. Orleans and Lyon, being on the main land, were in serious trouble of being cut off from any help. Citizens fled the cities in a mass exodus to safety.
The German assault on Orleans territory began and succeeded due to their vastly superior technology. England's ally, Brussels, soon also fell to the mighty Germans. But Germanys assault on the English mainland was not as successful. The Royal Navy was all over their lightly escorted troops. The few that made it through were only able destroy some farmlands and mines. More ship of the lines were ordered to be built. With their army so weak the navy would have the mission of protecting England. And that they did.
20 years later, the war against the Germans drug on. Queen Amanda's husband, Nole, had passed over the throne due to the queens ailing health. Their son, Kenneth, was the next in line with his family in tow. And his son, James would likely be king after him. But for now, the only important thing at hand was surviving the German onslaught. Europe was a hotbed of hated with countries denouncing each other and more wars erupting. France was once again at war with Germany and their new ally Arabia. England might catch a little break if Germany faced a 2 front war. But that was not the case, as Germany sent wave upon wave of combatants towards English soil.
The Royal Navy was by far the best naval fleet in the known world. Countless times they proved their worth by stopping the Germans from crossing the channel. The great war churned out the best sailors England ever seen. Their fleet, was the only thing which saved England from utter domination. But King Kenneth was not content with just surviving. He wanted to win this war, or at least make Germany understand that England was not a nation to be messed with. Military advisors gathered to formulate a plan to push Germany back once and for all. It would take years, maybe even decades, but they would succeed. At least that was the goal. Their plan involved using the navy to continue beating down German invasion forces, then cut of the supply route to the German city in England. After taking that city, they would fight for Orleans to keep the channel open for travel. Pushing from there to Essen, Paris, and Dortmund. King Kenneth figured while his navy did that, they could amass a decent land force to invade the mainland of Europe.
The following years seen some progress. The German city in England was taken and renamed Port Town. The navy then moved into the channel to commence bombardment of Orleans. Only time would tell if the kings advisors plan would work.
