What is the approximate size of the Ottoman Military?
when the union's inspiration through the worker's blood shall run,
there can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun,
yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one?
but the union makes us strong.

Sacred Band & Greek forces added.
EDIT: Maps also added. I believe that's it for the OP, from now on please don't post OOC stuff in this thread, as it's supposed to be for battles and (if you feel up to it) pre-battle speeches only.

Battle off Madeira:
Date: August 19th, 1798
Location: Near Madeira, Portugal
Combatants: USA VS Morocco
Commanders: Admiral Jenkins VS Admiral Abd al-Haq (KIA)
Strength: 5 Brigantines VS 1 Brigantine + 2 Cutters
Casualties: 1 Brigantine damaged (but still operational) VS all sunk
Outcome: American victory
Desc.: The 1st US Fleet engaged the Moroccan Fleet near the Portuguese island of Madeira. The much larger and better-armed American fleet won an easy victory, with the Moroccan flagship Imweḥḥden and Admiral Abd al-Haq being the first to go down under heavy fire from the Lexington, Concord and Patriot. The only American casualties were several of the sailors on the Patriot, the only American ship to sustain any real damage during the brief battle.
With the Moroccan Fleet destroyed, American land forces can now land on the Moroccan coast.
