Dispatch from the British Foreign Office: The Strategic Capture of Patigrabana

In this era of burgeoning industry and imperial might, it is with a sense of duty and resolve that I, the Foreign Minister of the British Empire from Eldoria, present to our esteemed global counterparts a detailed account of our recent military operation – the successful capture of Patigrabana on the Median island.

The Prelude:

The British Empire, ever vigilant in its pursuit of stability and security, observed the Finnish presence, including a veteran Ironclad (ID 5379) and a Caravel, near the shores of Patigrabana. Our flagship’s report confirmed their adherence to our war-zone warnings, ensuring that the planned operation remained covert.

The Onset of the Operation:

Led by the valorous Ironclad warship ‘Lord Clyde’ (ID 5097), our naval forces initiated the assault. Despite sustaining damage, ‘Lord Clyde’ valiantly succeeded against Median Musketeers and Pikemen. This act of bravery was duly noted in our action logs, a testament to the unwavering spirit of our naval forces.

Following in the wake of ‘Lord Clyde’, the Ironclad ‘Black Prince’ (ID 5011) displayed formidable prowess, overcoming Median Pikemen and ascending through the ranks to a veteran status, further exemplifying the might of the British Navy.

The Climactic Engagement:

The Royal Ironclad ‘Royal Alfred’ (ID 5148) then took center stage, engaging with precision and advancing to the rank of a seasoned veteran. It was through these strategic maneuvers and relentless pursuit that all defending Median forces were decisively neutralized.

The Triumph:

In the wake of our naval supremacy, our ground unit ‘Steel Vanguard’ (ID 2766) marched forth and claimed Patigrabana for the British Empire. The city, marveling at our technological supremacy, witnessed an organic transformation as the local workforce spontaneously upgraded the city infrastructure with the newly-acquired Railroad technology.

Reflection and Forward Look:

This operation, while a display of military might, is also a manifestation of the British Empire’s commitment to progress and order. With the acquisition of Railroad technology, we enter a new era of connectivity and industry, further cementing our role as a beacon of advancement and stability in these dynamic times.

We extend our gratitude to our allies and assure all nations of our continued dedication to peace, prosperity, and the advancement of civilization.

Sir Edmund Harrington
Foreign Minister of the British Empire
