Out of nowhere the Geystral Navy is seen off the shores of Sinhala. The Singhalese patrols engage the massive fleet with hit and run tactics but are beat off each time. Finally the full Singhalese battle fleet is organized for battle and engage the Geystral navy. In the Battle of the Bengal Bay the warships of Geystral and Sinhala fight a running battle up and down the coast, delaying the transports of Geystral. Eventually however the Singhalese navy withdraws battered and the transports land. 400 Screaming Geystral troops pillage and burn the countryside of Sinhala, preventing any economic growth.
To the north the Aryans concentrate all of their forces on two spots on the long line that is the Singhalese front. First the push south and toward the coast cutting off the easternmost fort. They are also able to break through one of the central forts of Sinhala. The bright spot for Sinhala being that they lost few troops in relation to the Aryans, and that Mahadah forces pushed deep into Aryan territory.
In Persia the Persian army concentrates all of its forces on Babylon and pushes them back from whence they came. The Arabians take advantage of this situation and push on Parsagrade the Persian capital with mixed results, not too many casualties, but little land, as the Persian commander is willing to delay the Arab armies with maneuver. The Aryans also pull out of Persia.
The Australians send a colonization fleet out into the eastern depths. It quickly returns after encountering seas that are impossible to navigate.
The war between the Romans and Spain heats up with an attack by the Spanish. They attack with their whole army in the south and make huge gains pushing the Romans back. But soon the Romans see a critical flaw in the formations of the Spanish. The Spanish had been advancing in a loose formation to avoid Roman archers. Due to their overwhelming numbers, it hadnt been exploited until the Battle of Genoa. There the disciplined Roman Legions massacred the loosely defended Spanish lines. Getting in the middle of their formation the Romans were able to cut up the Spanish who were unable to come to each others aid in the melee.
Also the Greeks and Thracians make peace.
