I dont think most people are expecting for Gallia to be on the ropes anytime soon. To me people seem to be thinking the most likely outcomes will simply be long term Gallic occupation as far as Leeds, with Bretonia accepting the losses but getting a peace accord. Or... a total collapse in a final battle resulting in half occupation, and a regime change leading to a pro Gallia government (forced alliance). I'm all for the slow push back but it just seems overdue if that still is an option.
So either we get one of those two scenarios, or Gallia breaks its back in the final push and disappears from Edinburgh and Leeds? If this is the wrap up of the war, then taking months or even years to recapture lost systems is not in the cards either way, so it would take quite a surprise to send Gallia home entirely, no matter how bad NL goes.. So, like Adolf, Bretgov in their bunkers waiting for that wonderweapon that will surely turn things around? I'd like to believe it, but so would everyone in that bunker!
