AAR - The Kingdom of Britannia versus The Prussian Empire

"In the wake of the Fair Isle Incident, the engagement between the Russian Battle Group Vityaz and Britannic Task Force 37, tensions were high between the two supposed allies. No longer operating in concert to track the Markgraf, the fleets of these two Powers operating in the North Sea were on constant alert. Through the storms and squalls that plague those waters, they jumped at shadows as their eyes scanned the horizon.

The Kingdom of Britannia secretly deployed a number of Wolf Pack flotillas into the theatre, obliquely to track the movements of both their enemies and their supposed allies while operating counter to the Prussian Wolf Packs still roaming the North Sea. The largest of these submarine groups was the 7th Submarine Squadron under the HMS Auriga

Mere weeks after the horror of the Fair Isle Incident, the 7th Submarine Squadron was tracking Russian movements south of Egersund when they chanced upon a small Prussian flotilla following a similar mission. Surprise was on their side as they launched the attack, or so they thought..."

AAR - Royalist Australians versus The Russian Coalition

"...with the Markgraf safe in port at Bremerhaven and the Prussian fleet lying low, the Russian Coalition turned their attention to the hated Black Company - mercenaries headed by the traitorous "Black Wolf" Vladimir Nikonov. For many months the Black Company had been operating in the North Sea and though the Russian intelligence initially suspected Prussian involvement, some believed their allies in the Kingdom of Britannia of employing and enabling them. 

In the second month of 1874, a White Navy patrol detected anomalous readings in the rocks off the coast of Scotland - Black Company mercenaries! Leading them was the badly damaged Manticore-class Support Skimmer Subjugator - crippled in battle with the Prussian Navy, spewing fire and leaking deadly radiation the ship was a major hazard that had revealed the location of the fleet to the Russian Coalition. A taskforce was hastily assembled to track and intercept them before they reached their hidden base. 

Crucially, the readings had also been detected by the Kingdom of Britannia. They despatched their own taskforce to aid the mercenaries amid the rocks. Meeting the Russian fleet, their role in employing the Black Company could no longer be denied and the situation escalated wildly. Shots were fired, and soon both fleets found themselves in a major engagement with their supposed allies..."
