The British home fleet is to be diverted into the Baltic Sea thanks to the start of hostilities with Prussia and the absence of threat of invasion from France, it shall be based in the Swedish city of Stockholm and shall work in conjunction with the French to disrupt and sabotage Prussian commerce in the region and prevent any neutral nations from trading with the Prussian nation. |

With the declaration of war upon the Empire of Russia, the British home fleet is ordered to follow the same stance towards all Russian shipping as it has been to Prussian shipping, but to also go further and sink any Russian ships intercepted that do not surrender, military or supply. Regular forays shall be made out of Stockholm harbour across the Baltic, especially towards the Russian Baltic coastline to intimidate the Russian navy, and possibly provoke it into sailing out from it's harbours to meet battle. |

Messages are also sent to those in the British admiralty and command of the Home Fleet detailing that the navy should start preparing for a large offensive across the Gulf of Bothnia in late spring one the British 2nd Army I Corp arrives in Stockholm. |

The Home fleet has been ordered sail for the Finnish city of Turku, where it shall transport the 2nd Army I Corp shall open fire upon any defences, army barracks and buildings of any military use for the best part of 2 hrs before the I Corp disembarks and attempts to take the city. (Note to moderator, this shall be co-ordinated with the Swedish assault due to be rp'ed by Jack later on today, the reason we have not posted together is that he isn't around now, and I'll be leaving soon so need to post now) |

April, 1854 The British Home Fleet along with thirteen battalions of Naval Infantry (10,400 Men) is ordered to operate on the city of Riga in the Russian Baltic. The Fleet is to bombard the city's defences, followed by a landing of the Naval Infantry and Marines from the Fleet. Once the city is taken, the British troops are to destroy all Port facilities military and civilian, then to re-embark, with the Fleet ordered to level anything left standing on the shoreline before returning to Stockholm. |
