The Spanish see the crowning of a French child king as an opportunity to invade. They deploy the Army of Flanders. Once mighty, but now reduced to being commanded by idiots and one man who was so old and sick that he had to be dragged around the battlefield in a chair.

Once upon a time there was a supply convoy called PQ-17, loaded down with tons of supplies and heading to the Soviet Union. Over the course of several days the convoy was destroyed by a combination of terrible intelligence, fear of confrontation with the German Surface Fleet, and a commander with a brain tumor.
