Gallia changes

[Binski]

Gallia seems to be winning the conventional war, but I think the allies will score the doomsday weapon to turn the tide. That, or in a year Sirius will be New Gallia. I don't advise that unless we want a mass migration out of sirius (and we know that means).

Splinter Gallia like the roman empire after its fall. Open it up to Sirian Colonization! Then people will actually go there! Groups like the Maquis, Council, UC, start claiming systems, and perhaps finally start squabbling among themselves for territory.

Well, it's hard to really determine what "winning the conventional war" actually means. They've managed to take some systems, sure, but not necessarily capitalize on gaining the large amount of resources they need to maintain their war machine. Leeds certainly has to be draining and demoralizing them to an extent (I think of Leeds as the Stalingrad of the war).

I couldn't imagine it would be too long a time before some officers in the GRN would begin questioning their loyalty to King Charles, and may even see more of a shift towards the Council, which would pave the way for more of an Gallic Civil war focus and relieve the pressure off Sirius. I think your Roman Empire analogy is a good one in that respect, although, I could easily see the Council re-absorbing the Maquis movement if there managed to be a sizeable break up of the Kingdom of Gallia, since they would have no real reason to oppose one-another.

I can't disagree with any of that, I'd like to see it go that way too, but I find it hard to balance it with the inrp fact that, IMO anyways, Gallia seems to be winning the capital fleet engagements more than anyone else. That combined with Liberty fighting a war on two fronts, since their conflict with Rheinland is still quite active, they haven't been able to have the impact many seemed to hope they would by this stage. If things were all based by what happens inrp, Magellan would long since be lost, and so would Texas for that matter. If I'm wrong I have no problem with that, just show me some battles that Rheinland and Gallia haven't cleaned house.

That's why I suggest a doomsday weapon, WWII style, end the war fast, make a bunch of changes, and roll with whole new Sirius-Gallia arrangement for a couple years. Not to mention a new cold war, with every house developing these 'doomsday weapons'. Something really game changing, like a death star (but obviously not a death star) or planet killer/ star killer...

...aanndd then a big vortex opens above Manhattan with a Nomad fleet and destroys half the system. the rest writes itself!
