In a stunning turn of events, the British Royal Army rallied yesterday from a near loss to the colonials and  managed to suppress a rebellion that would have turned the world upside down. King George III, when reached for comment, offered that “I had no doubt in the outcome, and I know that most of the colonists are truly loyal to their king.” The Continental Army made a strong start, stirred by Mark Stagno’s opening speech, and captured the first battle by a narrow margin. Colonial victory, and with it a new nation, seemed imminent as the colonists completely dominated the second battle, capturing all eight cities, the king and queen, and 74 British soldiers. Young Nicole Jarck made a stunning capture of the enemy’s capital city, while Eliza Blum was a force on many fronts. |

The tide turned, however, in the third battle as the veteran Royal Army and Navy exerted their combined strength. The colonials’ frigate was sunk for the third time (this time by the roving band of pirates), while the British army was led by the determined forays of Lindsay Kantor and Jason Veitch, among others. Taylor Calfee freed numerous jails, while Perry Babcock swooped in to retake many cities for the British occupation. No doubt aided by the treacherous switching of sides by the notorious Benedict Arnold, the British swept the third and fourth games, capturing every city as well as George and Martha Washington. The rebels were defeated on the field but not in spirit, and George Washington promises that “we will return, even if it takes us a full year to prepare our next forces.”
