((Shrug)) IM is taking crazy pills. If there's an all out assualt coming. It's not coming from the one of the smallest faction in the game. I learned my lesson from playing Risk Collect cards for turn ins!

I'm going to have to call shenanigans on that analysis, Chancellor. The St. Ives Compact is much smaller than both the FRR and Capellan Confederation. We both look like the FedSuns compared to that nation state. Plus, I'm pretty sure that you dwarf the St. Ives military as well, so it's probably largest to smallest the CC, FRR, and SIC.

Look at it this way, you are the biggest fish of the smaller factions.

[Fatebringer]

You mean Capella Heights? No my freind, we do not recognize you as a real faction,

[Parmenion]

Like mine, I'll wager 

That example is pinned to my battle wall at home!    

j/k

[Lord Harlock]

Not a booming start to this FGC, eh?  No all out assualts?  Not massed battle fleets pounding across the bourders?  Not even any raids?

I guess its up to the Cappies to get something started...

Well we could go with assassinations and raiding, or we could have the Rasalhague Vänskap-Kawaii Spelsama! Personally, I'm pulling for the Rasalhague idea. It will probably lead to less Combine and Commonwealth plans deciding to get rid of the middle guy. . . . Probably.

Honestly, I could probably launch an all out of assault, but all it would do would be destroy my military after three turns of trying to get there. And that was my estimates for attacking Star's End. My estimates for a war with the Combine or Commonwealth basically amounts to a one state Ragnorok, and that state's name started with Free and had purple associated with it. Plus, they had Fafnir in their symbol, so it wasn't the FWL.

Yeah, I'm probably not the faction to look towards starting the Fifth Succession War.  No, that would be the alliance of the Hanseatic League, Reverse Vampires, and the Wolf Dragoons.

Then we aren't sending you a polar bear for the Forbidden City Zoo. It's going to . . . Lothario. Or maybe Hunter's Paradise where the not T-Rex will love it and hug it plus call it George.

[DisGruntled]

I think lack of intel was a big factor. I've seen too many hideously failed first turn assaults to not have been a voice for restraint.

Aaaah, so we should expect the onslaught NEXT turn. Gotcha

Hey I haven't picked my main character yet.  Killing Capellans or Dracs, it's such a hard choice. I'm not above taking bribes if you want to influence my choice

Like Victoria 3010?

[Crunch]

Aye, and while it wasn't first turn it certainly lacked any appreciable intelligence, the Lyran attack on Somerset in the old FGC.

Hey, the first turn was a huge success.  The second?  Perhaps less so.  Though that there was never a fifth, sixth or seventh turn for my plans to play out a bit is a great regret of mine; I still maintain I would have been vindicated (either by my own brilliance, or by finaly doing the job I failed so spectacularly at of faction leadership, getting my team organized and on the same page, and letting their brilliance and the FedSun's inate imensity pull me out of the jam I'd made for myself). 

And yes, I still stand by the FWL defence of 2007, and the Mandrill offensive of that year, and a number of other millitary blunders that have made "Iron Mongoose" synonomus with "Millitary Catastrophy" (and abysmal spelling, and so many other negitive things).

I still remember when he asked me to get Welshman to loan him some more MP- I'm still glad we spent it on something else. I figure that Lao probably asked everyone for MP which pretty much tipped people off that he was about to do something.

Look at this way, you at least don't have my reputation after 3010. I'll never live that one down. And you didn't lose a Avalon Cruiser to a plan that your boss never fully explained to you, but you continue the plan for some odd reason because it was his plan and there was suppose to be support from the Combine. And then you lost not only your flagship but the first Fox as well. And anytime, I read Alexander Davion my hand smacks my forehead. I really should have ordered the KF drive implosion.

Ithe smallest faction and I have no plans to assault Mt. Everest much less the Draconis Combine

I think things were already shaping up to end badly for the FS, regardless of any FWL military intervention.  Esp as for several turns the CC had no real place to turn to for help, since its fine to kick off the game without a DC.  Several turns would probably have ended the FS ability to construct new formations and wage war, and frankly that would have been worth the loss of a great deal of the CC to the FWL.  You hit upon the way to beat the CC, which simply lacked the units to defend, by just invading lots of worlds.  That the DC immediately concluded a treaty with the LC left their rear secure and they just needed time to shift units.  I was even tryng to persuade the LC to come in against the FWL just to keep the playing field level for them; if the FWL took a huge chunk of the CC, that's production that would eventually see the LC front. 

Either way, seeing the FS off at Victoria and whatever the world(s) up towards Nanking were was more valuable for the CC in terms of forces destroyed, esp aerospace, than any loss of worlds in the south at the time.  There was just not enough CCAF to defend less valuable worlds.

Oh come on.  If 3010 showed us anything, is that the FedSuns are a bunch of push overs with poor planning skills who constantly over reach.  Yeah, that's it... So, really, you should be chomping at the bit for a crack at them.  We've got your back, really...

[Daemonknight]

The FWL was trying to get me(the DC) to go in against the LC. Said we'd carve up the Isle of Skye: DC gets Skye and area, plus Tamar if we hit it, and the FWL gets Hes2

[FoxxItal]

The first prince of the FRR now sits on a throne of pure ivory in the shape of a dragon. Sure we dont have a scary military.....but our throne kicks yours!!
