Rheinland and Liberty

[Sonja]

I don't know. It's been twenty years since the Nomad War. Germany was fully disarmed after WW1, yet was able to make a huge military in under 10 years, once they started rearming. I imagine that with Planet Nuremberg being entirely devoted to military production, Rheinland will be tougher than some folk are expecting.

That is true. Of course, Rheinland will be tougher than some people are expecting, but I still doubt that a force rebuilt twice over the years could match or overwhelm the Liberty navy, which has never lost a major pitched battle (to my knowledge, please correct me if I'm wrong). Liberty, like America, has a huge national defence budget. Liberty has also been the ones to bail out other governements when they were in a pickle before, so it should be logical to assume that the Libertonian economy is far more secure than the Rheinland economy.

I also thought that Military Vehicles were things like walkers and tanks, for ground invasions? If so, then Rheinland may lose ground in space, but be more than a match on the ground if the supply lines stay open. Then again, that doesn't factor in what the pirate factions are going to do. The Bundschuh and the Unioners could easily distrupt those lines if they supported Liberty, but could easily keep them open if they supported their home.

It's all just speculation, I guess.
