Haven't enjoyed stomping royals so much since... well, actually the very first "official" time, also in Orkney.
Too bad CR isn't part of the event mechanism - won't stahp us from fighting though.
Without CR there, there'd practically be no capital ship battles. Besides, every time they get cut down rather quckly by all the Valors stashed at Albi. I like these big battles, but I thought this was supposed to be about interdicting cargo ships? Maybe we should remove all caps from the event and see what happens? CR is the only force with a fleet that isn't tied down anywhere in particular, in theory *supposedly* the GRN, BAF and LN are all widely deployed along the front lines, and this battle zone is well behind those lines.
Secondly, when it comes to complaints about balance, it seems like if we have to block all the other factions that have Orkney in ZOI and are at war with Gallia...something's wrong, both for this battle, and the war in general.
Factions fighting for Gallia:
Gallic Royal Navy
Gallic Royal Police
Gallic Royal Intelligence
IDF
GMS
EFL (in spirit?)
others?
Factions fighting against Gallia:
Council
Maquis
Crayter Republic
Bretonian Armed Forces
BPA (in their ZOI)
Bretonian Intelligence
Bretonian Privateers
Liberty Navy
Liberty Security Force
All Liberty corps (LPI in their ZOI)
All Bretonian corps
Auxesia
others?
And those Valors are so tough, if i were Bretonia/Liberty, we'd be stealing some plans for house manufactured Nephilims by now.
