Background

The Gallic League and The Prussian Empire are on the brink of war. Britannia doesn't want to be dragged into it, but it is looking almost certain that, one way or another, they are going to have to declare for one side. Tensions are reaching boiling point and battle lines are being drawn. And, in a small Britannian colony, the Governor has invited you to dinner.
