Roughly a month had passed since Berengar's wedding. With it, Ludwig's workshop was fully updated with the steam-powered, precision engineering equipment that Berengar had designed and begun to introduce across Austria.
This did not mean that the entire industrial district of Kufstein was updated, in fact, it still had several months to go before such a feat could be achieved, but it did mean that Ludwig could get to work on some prototype weapons that Berengar had recommended for use in the armed forces.
For Austria to truly dominate on the battlefield, more modern artillery was desperately needed, especially since Berengar had begun to fear that his current artillery was dreadfully obsolete compared with his infantry's weapons.
