Rheinland and Liberty

[Sonja]

Liberty better win. But, I don't think they will. Not with the quality of pilots I remember from the time when I used to fly regularly, anyway.

Based on player activities of course.

In RP however, I think it's evenly matched. Liberty technically has the forces to take on two houses at once, and be on the offensive on both fronts. But, it isn't that simple. Rheinland is, while suffering horrific losses over the years, the most experienced in warfare, and generally fights some of the most dangerous groups in Sirius on a regular basis. Rheinland would easily be able to draw the lines half way down Hamburg and keep it there, falling back on their own supply lines. I imagine Liberty is full of raw recruits fresh out of west point, whereas Rheinland has veterans and battle hardened folks willing to protect the god-chancellor and his realm to the hilt of their battered swords.

In conclusion, Rheinland probably needs more forces. Numerical superiority allows Liberty to stay on the offensive, even if they take high losses. They might need to quell unrest at home with marshal law though.
However, Rheinland should not be able to effectively attack Liberty territory, as depleted and decrepit as its economy stands. Therefore, if there will be any victor, I am confident that it will be Liberty.
