' Wrote:Actually I agree with Baconsoda - the mollies aren't interested in territory outside of Dublin - they wouldn't need an alliance with the hessians to keep back the corsairs from cambridge if they weren't in cambridge in the first place, which would let them concentrate on fighting off corsairs in Dublin rather than creating a new position just for the sake of defending it.
Um, if the Corsairs are sandwiched between Mollys and Hessians in the Omegas, they're more likely to pull out of Dublin.
Also, it's a blood feud. Thermonuking Cork ring any bells?
Besides, the Hessians and Mollys were founded in almost the exact same fashion, the events which caused both to come into existence also played their part in the formation of the IMG, who get on okay with both groups, and are made up of both Dubliners and Rheinlanders.
Also they both have to hawk their contraband to someone. Open up markets for gold, blood diamonds and Guinness, much like the Outcasts and Corsairs are looking to expand on their smuggling rings.
