Under the command of Charles Mordaunt, Earl of Peterborough, the combined colonial forces of New England and Newfoundland, they shall invade french canada and take it in the name of the King.
the South Atlantic expedition will by next year (monday) move north and pick up the New England army with their transports with the Colonial Fleet attached. they will with the Newfoundland Colonial army meet on the Ile d'antecosti.
ile d'antecosti will be a staging point that will allow easy travel, and landing in French Canada, the Fleet will patrol the Bay of St Larwence for any French ships, supplies will be shipped to the Ile d'antcosti once landing has been made, and those forces that have not been able to accompany the force will be picked up when the transports are free once more. this will be a complicated Naval maneouver and so Cornelis Evertsen the Youngest will be commanding the naval aspect.
Good day gentlemen and speak to you soon.
