Gothic Tribe of Greenland
The production of the additions to the fleet was going well, with just over half of the commissioned ships completed and ready to sail. ((4 pages remaining))
As the fleet's completion neared, the High Gothi ordered the Blacksmiths of Bregthor to begin producing guns for the invasion force. The guns would be relatively simple, just breech-loaded rifles, basic enough to be made in mass amounts. Enough are planned to be made for each Gothic Crusader. ((4 pages))
As well as this, being told by one of his Gothi that the peoples of Europe would also undoubtedly have ironclad vessels, the High Gothi made another request to the Blacksmiths of Bregthor. With the normal shells the Soknbatrs used in their cannons, wrought iron armour proved to be heavily resistant. Because of this, a new type of shell would be needed to defeat any European ironclads, an armour-piercing shell. After consulting the leading gunsmith, it is established that this type of shell could indeed be done. The gunsmith begins work on the shell, and estimates he will be done in a few months. ((2 pages))
