Description:

My first workshop item with a thumbnail, I figured how to do it. The battle is filled with lots of buildings that you and the AI can’t enter. It also has a very unprotected fort with a few blocks to protect yourself from british bombardment and a few cannons to fire at the ships. The danish (or the Eagle team) has only 2 boats. The british (or the Raven team) has a lot of ships.

The Second Battle of Copenhagen was a British bombardment of the Danish capital, Copenhagen, in order to capture or destroy the Dano-Norwegian fleet during the Napoleonic Wars. The incident led to the outbreak of the Anglo-Russian War of 1807, which ended with the Treaty of Örebro in 1812. The attack on Denmark, a neutral country, was heavily criticized internationally and in Denmark it is generally regarded as the first terror bombardment on a European capital.

Britain’s first response to Napoleon’s Continental System was to launch a major naval attack on Denmark. Although neutral, Denmark was under French pressure to pledge its fleet to Napoleon. In September 1807, the Royal Navy bombarded Copenhagen, seizing the Danish fleet and assured use of the sea lanes in the North Sea and Baltic Sea for the British merchant fleet. A consequence of the attack was that Denmark did join the Continental System and the war on the side of France, but without a fleet it had little to offer.

The attack gave rise to the term to Copenhagenize.
