RE: The sanction of the Hess/Bret Combined Forces BattleGroup

Was totally worth it anyway.

But we all know what happens to countries that to openly support and work together with terrorist groups, right? Right!

Yeah, we do. Nothing. I'm looking at you, USA.

If I may ask the Hessians, here, openly. What was the motivation for going into Cambridge, other then "let's join in and pew a Sair base already under attack". How did the Hessians
a) Know about the attack
b) Know about the base. While Cambridge is listed on their ZoI, it's debatable they'd have scouts going 40K up midsystem.
c) Know that the BAF wouldn't summarily boot them out of Bretonian Core space as a non-Bretonian cap without permit (especially since, if this IRPly happened - Rheinland would have reason to embargo Bretonia -yet again-)

a) Easy answer: Mollies. Hard answer: sympathisers, secret leak, anything you can think of which is logical.
b) Easy answer: Mollies (and Reavers who tried to sell us info about sair base in cambridge, but got "data corrupted" at the end - we still knew it was there). Hard answer: sympathisers, secret leak, anything you can think of which is logical.
c) We didn't. It was a risk we took. FOR SOME REASON, probably called common sense, they didn't. That can also be called "RP". But really, do you think rheinland would embargo bretonia too? Who would they trade with, Gallia? And anyway, it was a risk on their side too, and they took it. And BIS already sent a message to bundestag about "no idea how hessians came and we booted them out afterwards". All is fine.

Also. Bear in mind that it was actually hard for us, because at the same time, RNC started assaulting Omega-11 trying to get to our base, and people were defending O-11 outnumbered and outgunned. Don't pretend it was just a yalala-let's-go-raid-because-we-have-nothing-to-lose.


Oh and, funny reaction from sair side. See rp, find rule-wise issue, report, have fun. Yeah, way to go. When [rm] broke rules attacking our miners without demand, we didn't report them because it made sense, but i guess it's too much to ask all people to be sensible.

I wonder how the great Bretonia allies, the Hessians, treat Bretonian commercial traffic.

RF (and probably RHA too, i didn't check much) doesn't touch it and ask indies not to touch them, either. Ever since that declaration of support. Sure we thought bretonia is going to backstab us, but we wouldn't want to backstab first.
