£6 spent on allies. Deploy successful, the officer died, all allies and the regiment exhausted. £10 loot split 4 ways means £3 to the commander. The commander takes a trophy. Order is imposed, opening all orders in Bengal. A Governorship is formed, opening up a new position.
(Also note I just realised I made up the other way company standing increases, so I reverted that too: company standing is back where it started, and will only go up when dividends exceed expectations)
Dividends paid out. No changes to company standing.
Storm die rolled: another 4, so no storms, but an eventful India.
First draw is a strength 2 leader arising, as predicted, but in Madras. The lone ready regiment is insufficient to do anything, is exhausted, and the Company holdings are overrun.
Madras is sovereign once again.
All orders are closed and the writers there presumed dead.
The Name of the Commander of the Army of Madras is tarnished, losing his trophy.
The Governor is eliminated.
The Company is humiliated, losing one standing.
A rebellion is attempted in Bengal, but trivially put down.
@RossM and @lalunaverde must roll to see if their officers died in the chaos.
The final event is a foreign invasion of all 3 presidencies (I finally rolled the 1 for the storm die, which, uh, hits all 3 region…)
The invasion of Bombay is strength 5, overwhelming the Maratha empire. All orders are closed, and the writers lost, presumed dead. Under foreign control, the tower strength is now 2.
The invasion of Madras is strength 6, overwhelming the Madras state. All orders were already closed, so this triggers a cascade effect, closing orders in adjacent regions. All orders are already closed in Hyderabad, Maratha, and Bombay, so the cascade spreads, closing all orders in India except for Calcutta. Another writer is lost, presumed dead. Under foreign control, the tower strength is now 3.
The invasion of Bengal is strength 5, overwhelming the exhausted regiment there. The last order in India is closed, the last writer in India is dead, the new regime has strength 2.
The Name of the Commander of the Army of Bengal is tarnished, losing his trophy.
The Governor position is eliminated.
The Company is humiliated, losing 2 more standing, and is now on the brink of failure.
