The main force of the Holy Roman Imperial Army under Louis William, Margrave of Baden takes the city of Augsburg in Bavaria. A force of Austrians under Count Herman Otto II of Limburg-Stirum continues southeast into Bavaria, and is intercepted by a combined French-Bavarian force led by French general Claude Louis Hector de Villars and Bavarian general Maximilian Emanuel II. The Austrians lose an estimated total of over 11,000 soldiers, 37 artillery pieces, and much of their accompanying supply train.
French forces under the command of Camille d'Hostun de Tallard besiege the city of Landau in the Rhineland. Holy Roman forces under the command of Crown Prince Frederick of Hesse-Kassel and Count John Ernst of Nassau-Weilburg move south to lift the siege. With reinforcements led by Armand de Pracomtal, the French force assaults the Imperial camp south of Speyer. Armand de Pracomtal is killed during the battle, and much of his cavalry force is defeated by the Germans, but the remaining French infantry force under Camille de Tallard surrounds and routs the Hessian and Palatine Imperial forces, causing them to retreat across the river Speyerbach. As a result of the battle, the German city of Landau is forced to capitulate to the French.
A large Russian division under the command of Prince Aleksandr Menshikov assaults into Swedish Ingria, quickly capturing the regional capital at Narva and the nearby fortress at Nyenskans. Swedish forces along the river Systerbäck are forced to retreat into Estonia and Finland to avoid encirclement by the Russians. The Russian force establishes the Petropavlovskaya Krepost near Nyenskans, and develops the settlement of Saint Petersburg around the new Russian fortress.
The first issue of the Sankt-Peterburgskie Vedomosti, a Russian-language newspaper detailing Russian military and diplomatic news, as well as news of the Dutch Republic translated from Dutch newspapers, is printed in Moscovy in Russia.
The settlement of Petrovskaya Sloboda is founded in Karelia around an iron foundry dedicated to manufacturing cannons and anchors for the newly established Baltic Fleet of the Russian Navy.
Dutch and German engineers construct extensive cobbled road networks linking the provinces of the Dutch Republic with Hanover and the various Imperial states in the Rhineland.
The Dutch Republic instates a law prohibiting the movement of any French or Spanish ships through Dutch territorial waters.
The Kingdom of Prussia and the Dutch Republic initiate a coordinated assault to retake Spanish-controlled Flanders. A Dutch force under Frederik Johan van Baer crosses into the Spanish Netherlands northeast of Bruge, soon capturing the city after defeating the Spanish garrison therein, then continuing towards the city of Ghent. Meanwhile, a Prussian force led by Leopold von Anhalt-Dessau passes through the Bishopric of Liège into northern Spanish-controlled Brabant, narrowly avoiding the massive French defensive line to the south. The Prussians cross the Scheldt River into Flanders proper after forcing a retreat into Antwerp of the Spanish regiments at Eckeren. Leopold von Anhalt-Dessau and Frederik Johan van Baer join their forces north of Ghent and besiege the city from along the northern banks of the Lys and Scheldt Rivers. After exhausting their resources, the Spanish forces at Ghent retreat southeast into Brussels, leaving Ghent to be captured by the Prussian-Dutch forces.
A Prussian siege brigade surrounds the French-occupied Fort Kehl and establishes siege camps and entrenched artillery positions on all sides of the fort. German engineers construct roads and wagonways bypassing the weapons range of the fort, allowing Imperial forces a means of safe passage into French Alsace and Lorraine.
A merchant fleet bearing flags of the House of Bourbon is seized by pro-Habsburg Spanish rebel corsair ships in the Bay of Biscay. The fleet is reported to have been carrying large quantities of muskets, artillery pieces, and other armaments. Additionally, all of the crewmembers of the cargo fleet are revealed to have been in the employ of the Dutch Navy.
Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah I instates a series of educational reforms, including a mandate for the establishment of a new Hindu madrasa near Akbarabad in Hindustan, the secularization of existing Islamic madrasas constructed under the reign of Aurangzeb, and the adoption of the comparatively liberal al-Ma'qul Persian style of education throughout the Empire. Despite the mandates, lobbying from Islamic scholars and regional ministers causes little progress to be made towards these goals.
Mughal Imperial forces capture a small stretch of land in northern Carnatica, encompassing the cities of Chennai and Arcot.
As part of an industrial mandate by Bahadur Shah I, a coal mine is established near Chakradharpur in Berar, as well as an iron mine at Rourkela in Orissa, and an open-pit sulfur extraction operation near Jalna in Ahmadnagar.
Local and regional leaders of territories recently captured by Mughal forces are replaced with pro-Mughal administrators, and the annexed territories are given a greater degree of autonomy than standard Mughal provinces, as well as an 18-month period of decreased tax obligations. Public order in these territories remains staunchly unfavorable to Mughal occupation, despite the reforms.
Turkish dockworkers in Greece, Rumelia, and Anatolia begin efforts to salvage the remains of the 13 ships destroyed in the Çanakkale Strait earlier in the year.
Sultan Ahmed III of the Osman Empire sends an appeal to intellectuals in Arabia, Persia, and the Khanate of Khiva to seek career opportunities at the several universities and observatories within the Empire.
Turkish emissaries travel to Mughal India, and sign a pact of non-agression between the Mughal and Osman Empires.

[1] Use our new infrastructure to move more soldiers to Flanders. Time to retake rightious Dutch clay.
[2] Instigate a new fervour of nationalism in the collonies. Don't want those areas to start disliking us.
[3] To create more lebensraum we shall build on the works of Leeghwater and drain some lakes and/or sea. Create more polders.
[4] Now that the British fleet has been hit rather badly, it's time to capitalize on their loss. Try to muscle in on the British sea trade.

1-3. Our Dutch allies are digging in to hold the recently gained territories. We must ensure that we keep up the initiative. We have the enemy right where we want them! With the french in their defensive line south of Brabant, and the Spanish holding their ground in Brussels,

Quickly, have our norhtern forces led by Leopold von Anhalt-Dessau move southwest, moving behind both the French at South Brabant and the Spanish in brussels, and cutting off any hopes of a retreat without first fighting through our forces. They are to hold the line there at all costs and buy as much time as can be.

As for our forces in the south moving around Khel we are not going to be pushing into Alsace-Lorraine. No, instead, they are to move northwest at full pace, using the highways around Luxembourg, to join up with Leopold and the end result shall be a grand encirclement of French and Spanish forces in Belgium!

Move forthwith at great haste!

3-4. Do whatever we can to open up the roadways in Luxembourg, make diplomatic promises to their heads of state, purchase masses of wagons and cavalry, we must move with as much haste and speed as possible if we are to encircle the enemy army and bring a swift end to this war.

Dutch general Frederik Johan van Baer and Prussian general Leopold von Anhalt-Dessau attempt a coordinated encirclement of the Franco-Spanish forces in Belgium by means of a simultaneous Dutch siege of Brussels and two-pronged Prussian assault through Luxembourg and Liege bypassing the French defensive lines in the Brabant. Van Baer's forces are able to siege the Spanish garrison at Brussels into submission and capture the city, with most remaining Spanish forces in the area retreating to Namur in the south. Prussian officers attempt to persuade local authorities in Luxembourg to open roadways to Prussian forces and dismiss local Spanish garrisons in exchange for protection, but are unsuccessful in these negotiations, and von Anhalt-Dessau is left with no choice but to take Luxembourg by force. Prussian cavalry regiments are able to quickly gain ground in the outlying Luxembourgian countryside, while Prussian infantry and cannon regiments launch a siege assault upon Luxembourg City itself. Van Baer's Dutch forces make contact with a northern detachment of von Anhalt-Dessau's Prussian forces and launch a successful combined assault upon Liege. In response to the Prussian and Dutch attacks, Spanish forces begin fortifying positions near Namur, Marienbourg, and Ramillies, and additional French reinforcements from Normandy and Burgundy are sent to defend Franco-Spanish supply lines into the region and assist in the French defensive line in the Brabant, now the last major obstacle in the way of complete Dutch control of the Netherlands.
Dutch colonial governors in overseas possessions attempt to promote Dutch Republican nationalism amongst the native populations, but are largely unsuccessful, even to the extent of small reactionary anti-colonialist factions arising in Trinidad, South Africa, and the Dutch East Indies.
Civil engineers in Holland begin construction on a series of windmill-based pump systems to drain water from the Zuyderzee and create polders. However, unfavorable tidal conditions throughout the winter of 1703 and spring of 1704 impede work on the project, and by June of 1704, the pump systems remain largely incomplete, with no additional land reclaimed from the Zuyderzee.
Several Dutch merchant captains attempting to capitalize on Britain's loss of primacy in trans-Atlantic naval commerce report a significant increase in the frequency of attacks by Spanish, French, and Mauretanian pirates.
An assembly of Muslim clerics and scholars is convened in the Mughal capital of Akbarabad to reach a compromise regarding the secularization of madrasas in the empire. Muslim scholars working in the madrasas agree to gradually integrate the al-Ma'qul style of education. However, unrest increases amongst the more fundamentalist wing of the Muslim population in Hindustan, with some citizens voicing concerns that the current Mughal administration is taking a significantly less pro-Islamic stance on civil matters compared to its predecessors. Despite the unrest amongst Hindustani Muslims, many of the empire's non-Muslim subjects are appeased by the results of the assembly, with several Hindu citizens sending donations to regional governors to fund the construction of secular and Hindu madrasas.
Mughal imperial regiments begin advancing into Maratha-controlled Bijapur, but are flanked by retaliating Maratha forces near Kolhapur. The Mughals are forced to retreat into Ahmadnagar, and the Marathas are able to recapture the forts at Vishalgad and Panhalgad with little resistance from the local militia.
Mughal administrators begin incentivizing wealthy nobles throughout the empire to promote the works of local artists, artisans, musicians, and calligraphers. Indo-Persian artforms begin to see a resurgence in the more metropolitan areas of the empire in the following months, and governors report a slight decrease in unrest in most regional capitals.

[1] Silence the unrest in the colonies. We shall hear out those that are unhappy, and try to meet their demands.
[2-3] All the Netherlands, be they north or south, are to be one. We shall push away the Franco-Spanish opressors!
[4] The Zuyderzee shall not stop us again. We are Dutch. We are masters of the seas. We take what is rightfully ours!
[5] The Prussians are the only ones that can be trusted right now. To improve relations, we shall send diplomats and trade princes. Together, we shall bring the Hansa to the entire world.

1-5. The Pincer's jaws are closing in, now to clasp our enemy completely. The Dutch are planning on moving out of Belgium and pushing south, we must keep up the momentum. The Spanish and French are going to overstretch their line by rushing in reinforcements, like a long cord waiting to be cut by a sword. We will unite our two armies into a formidable force, and will link up with the Dutch, but now we just have to decide where and how the hammer should strike.

The Spanish and French are frantically trying to hold onto their defenses and forts, we must take advantage of this! If we simply ignore both Namur and Mariembourgh there is risk they will try to mobilize both their armies and outflank us from two sides as we press forward.

We must bait the turtles to sit still. To do that, our combined army will need to move close and hug the walls of Namur itself. As the army moves on, part of it will set up siege operations and battle lines against Namur. We are to trick them into believing the whole of our force is to lay siege to Namur, and that might be enough to bait them on the defensive. It also means our army is well distanced from Mariembourg's forces.

In reality, the rest of our army is to push on to link up with the dutch and close the trap, crush the reinforcements as they arrive before they can bolster any standing army. With luck, we can catch them or push them between us and our enemies.
