Klagimir agents manage to purchase a Jackewlinese (Invincible-class) BC for credit, a 13 Budget Point price, down payment is due when the ship is completed. In turn, Klagimirya opens up their southern ports for Jackewlinese ships, and supplies coal and ammunition, especially cordite.

Turn 18
Starting Budget: 0
Budget Current Turn: 4
3 more destroyers are built in the dockyard; one more is gifted by the people to the Pashin of the Navy.
Relocation: The destroyers join the Overseas Station.
Strategic Action: The Overseas Fleet steams out towards Léqa Fort.
Continuous Action: none, all cruisers and auxiliaries join the main fleet.
Action: The Battle of Tunova Atoll occurs, as the Asansmati do not wish to get their fleet destroyed piecemeal.
The Klagimir plan:
The battleship division enters the central area, and carefully dictating the range with their modern ships, picks out the enemy battleships. The older ships are there to disperse damage and take enemy fire away from the dreadnoughts. The BC and CAs may even choose an outward approach, herding the two Asansmati groups right into the narrows.
The TBD division rushes forward, launches two torpedo salvoes in two waves (5/4), then goes back to the Selale and the tender to refill. The two auxiliaries follow from a safe distance, and Selale should scare off any attack with her guns.
The cruiser division, in close operation with the older warships, attempts to get in range of the larger enemy cruiser group, adding local pressure. The Klagimir cruisers are slower, but can gain superiority as the Asansmati fleet is known to be divided.
The overall goal is to have the enemy fleet concentrate within the narrow passage between the two island groups, thus reducing their effectiveness. Units breaking out are primary targets. Fire should be concentrated on ships signaled by the squadron flagships, unless a better opportunity arises along the line. The fleet is to keep a distance away from Léqa Fort until the enemy ships are destroyed or routed, at which time either the surrender could be forced, or the walls bombarded by heavy units from a safe distance.
The auxiliaries should tend to any damaged ship, moving up behind the main battle line.
The Asansmati plan:
Overwhelm the enemy with superior numbers, using flanking maneuvers by the light squadrons and concentrated heavy fire from the battleships.
Results: decisive Klagimir victory, with the Asansmati fleet surrendering/being destroyed.
Asansmati losses: 3xBB, 3xCL, 2xDD sunk, the rest surrendered
Klagimir losses: 1xCA, 4xCL, 5xTBD damaged
This effectively ends the campaign; the treaty forced on Asansmat allows them to retain 50% of their cruiser fleet, but all five battleships are repaired at their expense, then taken as prizes by the Klagech to reinforce their Southern squadrons. A small auxiliary fleet can keep an eye on the northern shipping routes.
(Total amount gained by the Klagimir: 5x BB - 1 British, 4 American style, 3xCL, 5xTBD, 1xB - with 2xCL and 2xCA remaining in Asansmati hands)
Turn 19
Starting Budget: 1
Budget Current Turn: 9=10
5 points spent on Repairs=5
The damaged 4 cruisers and 5 TBDs remain at Bati Mezar, forming the new Overseas Fleet; they are supplemented by the damaged Asansmati battleships. The three protected cruisers are repaired at Asansmat, then sent to join the Home Fleet in Klagdemiri, along with the other two battleships. The new flagship of the Overseas Fleet is Emir Gifu.
The Klagimir naval command and government are afraid of provoking the Island Kingdoms, so they refrain from reinforcing C'atal too much. The intact 2xCL, 1xCA and 5xTBD are sent there, with Rüzgar as squadron flagship.
Turn 20
Starting Budget: 5
Budget Current Turn: 7=12
The government is too afraid to be indebted to Jackewline, so they order a semi-dreadnought battleship from Dorrosean, the Republique-class C.10 Koné Kavar. However, they fail to deliver. The price is returned.
