As the enemy superwarships continue their barrage on the Neviston Battery, the damage begins to take its toll. Around five of the fourteen heavy gun positions have been disabled, and by now dozens of 204cm guns have been destroyed. The battery however is still quite deadly, and the approaching ships are getting close enough for the hundreds of lighter weapons to be brought in to action.

"Thompson? He was stationed near Australia to watch for enemy fleet movements, he was given ships without warp engines."

"Sir, he reports that he has been steaming here since the battle began, his fleet consists of 15 Majestic, 15 Intrepid, and 10 Iron Fist class battleships supported by 10 Repulse class battlecruisers.'They are approaching from the southwest."

"Have Thompson move to support the AFOH forces on the southern flank, and try to hit the back ends of the American forces."

''The small force of capital ships move in on the southern flank, their 38, 40, and 46cm guns blazing away at the enemy. Meanwhile scores of torpedoes lance out towards the sterns of American ships approaching Neviston, crippling several vessels by destroying their propellers...''
