The barbary wars
Background
First Inyurstan Campaign
Operation Augillo Blanc
Battle of Tripoli Bay
Biron's Retreat
Second Inyurstan Campaign
With Biron's detachment regrouping off the coast of Bolreig, they were soon joined by Enriqué D'Andalucia arriving from Inyursta with fresh ships.
Battle of Halij Haraq
In order to strike at the Bashriyyan Sultan, the Inyurstan commanders deduced they would first have to destroy his navy. Given the ability of shore-borne artillery and excess locations to launch "suicide rafts", engaging them close to shore was considered too risky, and it was decided that the Bashriyyans should be engaged in open water.
Baiting Al-Monharaf
Fortunately, the Inyurstan retreat had left the Bashriyyan navy and barbary pirates alike believing they had effectively won the conflict and asserted their right to take ships and hostages. Playing further into the Inyurstan hands was that much of D'Andulcia's reinforcement fleet was comprised of former merchant vessels purchased or pressed into service after the conclusion of the Polaches-Juarez War, which allowed a group of three ships to effectively disguise themselves as a civilian merchant convoy.
