After war was declared, the Molossian War Office issued new rules to safeguard the Molossian population. Conservation at home was deemed to be very important and citizens were urged to walk instead of driving to conserve fuel, conserve to avoid waste (especially food), make time for war work, and buy Victory Bonds with their extra money. An extensive propaganda campaign was undertaken to remind citizens that their actions could help the war effort and our troops at the front. | |||
==''The Battle of Lake Jean''== | |||
::''Main article: [[Battle of Lake Jean]]'' | |||
The Molossian Naval Infantry was slowed by weather in late May in its advance against Mustachistani forces. However, as events unfolded slowly in the west, the nascent Eastern Front exploded into activity with a battle on [[Battle of Lake Jean|Lake Jean]], near the [[Molossian Protectorate of New Antrim]]. Lake Jean had been the target of Mustachistani forces seeking not only to gain a foothold in New Antrim, but also to divert resources from the developing campaign near the Molossian Home Territories. | |||
Thus, the Molossian Naval Forces of New Antrim (The Atlantic Fleet) set out to repel the Mustachistani threat on Lake Jean. Mustachistani elements had moved to establish themselves on the lake, and [[Grand Admiral Hess]] immediately launched his fleet to repel the threat. The Atlantic Fleet consisted of two vessels, the Canoe-class ''MS-3 Boomer'' and the Kayak-class ''MS-4 Old Towne'', both vessels in excellent fighting trim and manned by three very able sailors. The ''Boomer'' served as the fleet flagship. The Mustachistanis launched two vessels in response, two Kayak-class boats, the ''Dagger'' and the ''Corsica''. | |||
After a full day of naval skirmishes, Grand Admiral Hess was able to repel the Mustachistani forces and win the day for Molossia. | |||
