In your atempt to charge across to Bergen, you must firstly capture all towns that stand in your wake, say your generals. Capture the towns of Halden and Frederikstad. These towns are close together in the north-easternmost part of the province.

[King Helgaar Gradsson]

Another 30,000 cavalrymen are to be put on standby in case they are needed, and are to be drafted in immediately under the King's orders.

An initial surge of approximately 100,000 light infantry initiate the wave of invasion, with a legion of 50,000 heavy infantry ordered to follow immediately and begin establishing control upon the Norwegian citizens. Failure to comply with the Swedish controlled-rule shall result in emprisonment of the Norwegian people.

Flags are to be raised at the aforementioned towns, and if they are indeed captured, a banquet is to be put on at both locations, in order to welcome new control.

Objective Three[/u][/size]
Chase down the Norwegian army on its way to Gjovik in the north, it has many refugees from Moss with it, state how you deal with these.

[King Helgaar Gradsson]

Cavalry are instantly deployed at high speed to chase down the escaping enemies, and are ordered to shoot down any who decide to run away from us pursuing glory.

However, any who are willing to stop and return to the conquered regions of Norway are to be escorted back to the town of Moss, and returned to their housing (if any). Those refugees who decide to run away from us are seen as enemies of the Swedish, and are to be shot down immediately.

Returning refugees are to be escorted by light infantry back to the bases.

Once arriving at Gjovik, Cannon (50) are fired to at the walls if any, and if none, they are fired at the buildings...particularly inns and pubs. A small fleet of 5,000 heavy infantry then go around seizing power of the houses and driving the large army out further into Norway.

Orders for the navy to deliver a further 5,000 cavalrymen and 20,000 heavy infantry...bringing the current (before objective stated above) total, that are now at the naval town of Moss:

Light Infantry: 65,000
Heavy Infantry: 73,000
Cavalry: 25,000
Cannon: 150
