The EotBS Dreadaught finally moves forward, but doesn't really do anything substantial.
End Phase
All Critical hits were repaired.
It was during the End Phase that the Prussians calculated their resources and realized that they did not have what was needed to take the island without substantial losses. Even then, it was unsure if the island even could be teken. In weighing all the options the Prussian Kommodore decided that it would be best to save resources and fight another day.
Victory goes to the Empire of the Blazing Sun.
