Julian Weber is an officer in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and a graduate of Westpoint Military Academy with a degree in civil engineering. As U.S. involvement in Afghanistan comes to an end, Lt. Julian Weber finds himself involved in a terrorist attack by the Taliban, which claims his life. However, he quickly finds out that death is not always final as he is reincarnated into the body of a Baron's son and heir in an alternate Earth set in Late-Medieval Europe. In an era of political turmoil and civil strife, the Baron's young son is named Regent of the Barony of Kufstein and forced to contend with feudal powers. Will he be able to institute reforms leading his Barony into the age of industry? Or will he succumb to the pressure of his feudal overlords and a corrupt church that seek dominion overall?

Tyranny of Steel

So far, Berengar had made some game changing innovations to his army and their equipment. Service Revolvers, Stick Grenades, Rifled Breechloaders, and even Gatling guns would soon begin production. However, as his Army's technological advancements soared through the sky, it became increasingly clear that the Navy was lagging behind.

While his Army was rushing headfirst into the Industrial Age, his Navy was still operating with Frigates powered by sails. Berengar had invested a substantial cost into these mighty vessels, but already their time was ending, at least in service to his Royal Navy.

Ideally, the Berengar-Class Frigates still had many years left of service before they needed retrofitting. Austria could easily sell the ones they had manufactured to their allies after replacing them with something more modern. However, there was also another path that opened itself up to Austria.
