WAR! when?

[Binski]

Plain and simple, the Gallia conflict's stagnation would be easily and most logically shifted by a 3 house alliance against them, which should include Kusari. If the Imperial elements are now back within the new government, then perhaps their opinion prevails on how to handle Gallia; they secretly build up and rally the house back together with a good (nationalistic) war against Gallia. Gallia could then make a withdrawal into the Taus. Then it would be a lot of fun to see the Taus and Gallic borderworlds opened up to BAF, LN and KNF ID's for a while. Many turned up for the big battles up in Orkney! Put a few new friendly battleships in the Taus and call them 'expeditionary forces'. And the most interesting part would be how that new 3 way alliance would handle itself.

The whole thing could be orchestrated with an event like a Kusari (pearl harbour style) surprise attack, or a less sinister incident where a Gallic capital crosses into Kusari and causes an outbreak of war (maybe destroy a ship accidentally killing a dignitary or member of the Imperial family, etc). In 6 months to a year, Gallia would be back within its old borders, and the ZOI's could be limited again, or even let Bretonia/Liberty accept a peace while Gallia and Kusari duke it out for a while. But, a 3 house victory over Gallia would be plausible enough to open the option of regime change in Gallia (surrender), maybe leading to new Gallic factions like resistance fighters or GRN veteran outlaws, some kind of Gallic civil war...(?).

At that point we could see another Bret/Lib vs Rheinland war on the horizon, but what I'd like to see is a major Nomad invasion of the central colonies. Instead of constant house wars, let some neutrality return and let the houses determine their own reasons to act on others. Otherwise, Nomads would make a good interhouse invader with a much heightened presence as a uniting common foe.
