' Wrote:Yeah, I'll agree it's shaky. Suppose that the Alliance didn't much care, the higher ups weren't paying attention (they did have bigger problems, after all), or France was really good about making it look like they were building their fleet back up. As for the Coalition not noticing, what's to say they didn't? If they constructed it behind the lines, it would be guarded by the remaining Alliance fleet even if the rest of the Alliance had no idea. Still, yes, it's shaky. If they held off on the bigger parts of it until after the first five sleeper ships went off, then it fits a little better, though.
There is no such thing as "behind the lines" in the space :-).
More serious: it means that it was the France who have betrayed the Alliance, not the other way round. So the Houses owe those cheese eating surrender monkeys a heavy pounding. I'm strating to like it.
' Wrote:The Second Gallic War, however, has been mostly fought on land, in some cases with little more than rocks and mining equipmnt. The Gallic Army and the people of Marne (and Quillan) have taken the brunt of it, with space battles of consequence being few and far between for the majority of the war.
That implies devastation of infrastructure on the planets. Decreasing population. Screwing demographic structure. And every other effect of a war waging at home.
I hope that means Gallia is more a colossus on clay legs than a war machine.
I'm still not convinced enough but it's not wise to throw judgement before the release of 4.86.
