RE: The sanction of the Hess/Bret Combined Forces BattleGroup

Where does it say in the RM ID that you can shoot IC regardless of cargo violations? It doesn't. You guys added that event based on forum RP. You set a precedent that we would be able to dynamically alter our allegiances based on roleplay.

So you won't mind, for example, Rheinland, out of desperation, selling still resource-rich Dresden to Gallia, to cover it's debts and restore it's economy, and provide Gallia with a foothold for a backdoor strike into Bretonia, that just allied itself with Hessians? At same time, establishing trade relations with Gallia, to cover losses from Bretonia's blockade.

The only thing that would inRL prevent that is if Gallics actually want Rheinland's alliance, or if they're overconfident in their forces.

Can you imagine the consequences of this for the House of Bretonia?

That was just an example of a simple "realpolitik" move.
