' Wrote:So's an 80 year war in general. It's clearly some Afghanistan-style war, with Rheinland sitting all its ships in a big system it dominates but is essentially impossible to fully control, and haemorrhaging money slowly over 80 years from constant harrassment.
Rheinland annihilated itself by trying to occupy land it couldn't hold from an enemy it couldn't defeat.

Also, wiping out stuff like that isn't totally unheard of. 6 day war, pearl harbour. That's stuff that happened in hours, not decades.

' Wrote:If it'd be Afghanistan or Vietnam type of war, there would be no GMG left after 80 years.
As for strenghts, well, Gallia lacks one, very important thing - experience in such large scale operations they're trying to conduct. Also, it seems very strange that they left Council untouched, while pushing into Sirius - it's very weird move from strategic perspective.

In terms of experience, most experienced would be Rheinland military. Best equipped - Gallic/Libertonian one.

As for Brets, afaik they had only 30 battleships left, not 50. It was mentioned in the lore, somewhere.

' Wrote:right now mostly powerful military factions are - all of them! yes, all of them. because of players and ballance almost. most powerful factions (Nomads, Wild, SCRA) closed, most popular (Corsair, Navy, RM) controlled by Officials to prevent stupid things.
so it doesnt mean who is more or less powerful is winner. Lore sayes one thing but Game sayes other. I still cant understand how by Game Bretonia still alive having war with Kusari (and now with GRN) and Mollys/Corsairs/Gaians pirating it. But in same way Rheinland feel itself nice when by Lore it must be in deep crysis
