WDF 30: The Long War XII (Patreon)

[PATRONS] Our story continues, as the Habsburgs scramble their forces together in the midst of increasingly worrying news across all fronts. Stahremberg  makes an appearance, and sets to work building up the defences of Vienna for whatever may transpire. Meanwhile, Charles of Lorraine is celebrated as the man in charge of Habsburg forces, but this ragtag bunch of Europeans will have to shape up before they face up to the terrible might of the Turks. All the while, Kara Mustafa seems to move faster than anyone ever expected, his focus set on...where? Only ever so gradually would the Habsburgs in their Hofburg palace find out.
