Discussion seems to be slowing down. In the next (I hope) 48 hours I will pull together a list of changes to be made for NWOL-3 and post that as a new topic for comments.

Throughout the Summer of 1793, the combined Italian navy played a high stakes game of cat-and-mouse with the daunting Mediterranean Fleets of the European Confederation. After trapping and defeating a handful of French warships in the CMD, unfavorable winds, and the might of Confederation fleets finally caught up with the Italians once and for all. Fifty-nine Confederation vessels engaged the 37 ship Italian Navy in mid August, 1793 off Cagliari and recorded a smashing victory. 17 Italian ships were captured or sunk and the remainder of the battered fleet hobbled back to Taranto.

T4-T10 (Summer campaign, 1793) - Widely believed by most participants and observers to have been the largest and most consequential engagement of the game. As the Anglo-French and Austro-Prussian alliances squared off through Northern Europe, Germany, and specifically the area around Bremen, became the primary area of combat. Sensing an opportunity that could be exploited, the Prussian, Austrian, Scandanavians, and Mecklenbergers slowly converged over 95,000 men around the area of Bremen itself, and set an attack in motion.
