The Westfalen Problem

[jammi]

Now, explain to me how bretonia is going to fuel their ships without ANY direct fuel source.

The only shipments you are getting fuel wise is MOX from ALG and H-fuel shipped by RepEx. Maybe a bit from liberty, but considering they are facing a kusari blockade of H-fuel, not much.

Simply? They can't. With the loss of LD-14, there is no logical way for Bretonia to continue the war as they currently are. They have no fuel income, or ability to support their capital ships.

In any case, I can't deal out Bretonian consequences because I'm not the BAF or Bretonia's leadership. I can't say "we're not using capital ships any more because we can't run them" because people would ignore me if I did. Also, I pulled the ejector seat on Bretonia because I've had enough of the place. :P

Losing LD 14 is a hell of a lot more important than losing the Westfalen so far as lore goes, I'd reckon. Gameplay-wise? Not so much.

On the corporate thing:

Stuttgart: "Synth Foods moved in immediately, buying out many of the farming dynasties over the following decades"

Hamburg: "a cosmopolitan planet largely owned by Republican Shipping"

Holstein: "Kruger Minerals offered to transfer ownership of the planet Holstein to Daumann", "settlements have already sprung up on the surface under Daumann's watchful eyes".

Nuremberg: "until in 738 A.S. when Daumann and Republican Shipping jointly purchased the planet from the bankrupt Rheinland government".

Whoops. :D
