Chapter 8

Britain Attacks

Your British agent, Rebecca Alston, meets you at the dock of your hideout. Her face is grim as she speaks.

“I’ve just received word that the lousy Jean Lafayette has lined up most of Ratuga Bay alongside the Americans to defend New L’Oreans. We need your ships to break through their defenses. If you side with us, I can promise a full pardon…and legal control of Ratuga Bay so long as the British rule. Do we have a deal?”

Read both options, then choose one:

Heed Marcus Gladwell’s advice: Ally with the Americans, defend your homeland, and figure out how to deal with Jean Lafayette after.

Accept Rebecca Alston’s offer: Ally with the British in hopes of defeating Jean Lafayette now and controlling Ratuga Bay.

America!

You ally with the Americans, and set out at once to join the fight against the British.
