Oh blodo, you're so funny. The reason Blodo is so funny is he comes in here and lays out his whole scenario explaining how everything is the way he says it in, and look he even says, "All of this is derived from the storyline and infocards." What makes it so funny is that it is quiet easy to use the infocards and storyline to say the exact opposite thing.

Blodo's post was made in a calm and non caustic fashion, illustrating a greater story in a way that appeared to be seperated from personal motive or bias. Your counter claim was to devalue Blodo, Blodo's motives and Blodo's sources. Perhaps it would be best for this conversation if you skipped the junk proceeding your claim that it would be a simple affair to use available infocards and storyline to prove the opposite and simply do so.

At least that would greatly improve the tone being demonstrated by the Kusari Naval Forces official faction.

Ya see, I can say that it was not the GMG's fighting skills that won the 80 years war for them, but instead the protection of Kusari, who allowed the GMG to use Honshu as a safe haven to attack the Rheinlanders from. The hit and run raids of the GMG were only effective because they could flee back to Honshu, effectively stopping any chance for a Rheinland counter attack. The infocards and lore show me that without the protection of Kusari, the GMG would have quickly lost the 80 years war.

You could say that without being provided a foothold to maintain their position against an entire nation's military the GMG would be in a pickle. But nothing you described devalues the ability of the GMG to fight, which I believe was your aim. In point of fact that the GMG was able to strike and retreat successfully for 80 years prior to the final epic battle in which they culminated their forces for a final strike suggests a marvelous ability to employ terrain in order to maximize their win/loss ratios.

I could really do this with any section of the fanciful scenario that Blodo posted above. The infocards and lore can be used to make a case for just about anything. I think it's funny when people try and make an argument without explaining that.

Blodo very accurately skylined the pertinent information as it applied. Your counter argument, invalidating the GMG and vicariously through that Blood Dragon combat doctrines and tactical soundness based on inability to maintain a foothold when applied to a combat situation where the GMG is facing a blockade rather than an invasion is irrelevant. Countering someone's offered lore is only effective when what you counter it with information that applies to the situation.
