Kasari in Leeds

[Wolfs Ghost]

Honestly. People, if Kusari couldn't capture Harris and drive the MacDuff from T-31, and Capture the BMM Station in T-23, what makes you think they'll succeed in capturing Planet Leeds?

In regard to the GRN, you know they want to invade all of Sirius, right? Right now they dont want anything to do with anyone else because they hate them and want to invade them, but they have to stomp out the council first.

In terms of the Kusari in Leeds, this expansion has been in development for a long time, perhaps this was decided when the BAF and BPA were not so strong. I do find the BAF presence in T-31 odd though, if they cant hold upper Leads how are they managing to hold onto T-31? The cover of the Ice field perhaps....

There BAF has always been more active than the KNF for as long as I can remember. The BPA and KSP were fairly equal in activity until a few months ago when both were dead, but now the BPA is alive and more than kicking.

It's because of Kusari switching to a spearhead, Blitzkrieg-esque assault with a narrow front.

I can only hope that means once the shock wears off, the Bretonians will rally and drive the Kusari out. I was under the impression that Blitzkriegs were designed for lightning attack and would fail when fighting a prolonged battle, something which will no doubt happen in Leeds. The BAF ain't gonna roll over and die.

EDIT: That reminds me, must start publishing the Armed Forces of Leeds story. Where's Unselie gone...

Bretonia aren't losing, infact I'd hazard to say that they are now in a stronger position, as the Kusarians have made themselves surrounded. It seems that Kusari has the technology, but Bretonia has the numbers and the strategy.

I'd say the Kusari have the numbers. English forces throughout history have always relied on smaller numbers of highly trained troops, something I can't see changing in Bretonia. Induvidually Bretonia's main fighting ship, the Templar, is far heavier and hardier than the Chimera which gives the impression it's harder to produce and in smaller numbers.

I am a bit annoyed by the insinuation that the Bretonians should be winning the war because there are more players in the BAF faction. This is an RP game people, we are playing a role in the story that Igiss is writing for us. Honestly, I personally dont think it should matter who has a bigger faction when it comes to these things. To take such things into consideration when putting together the story is silly, if you look at the BAF and KNF six months ago, the roles would have been reversed, and there would have been more KNF than BAF, does that mean they Kusari should have been winning the war then, but not now? Faction player population is a fickle thing, and it changes fairly often, so it because a bad thing to base game development on. By that rational, Liberty should already have won the war due the the player population of Liberty vs that of Rhienland.



Remember Folks, this is Igiss story, we are just playing the roles he gives us.

Kusari don't have the numbers.

NPC Populations:
Bretonia - 3145 million
Kusari - 2435 million

Player faction population 6 months ago, there were just about as many BAF as there were KNF, and both of those numbers were very low. In point of fact, its been several mods since KNF was ever at its current size (if ever). BAF's just grown faster.


Lets try another tact: Bretonia has 10 stationary battleships, Kusari has only 6. (Rhienland 9, Liberty 11)

Well, there are many real life examples of the less populous, country winning wars against more populous ones.

Quite. I'm just making the point that it is innacurate to say that Kusari has the numbers on its side. Not an advantage it gets to claim.

What advantages does it get?
Superior Technology? Please point me to the rumor.
More fuel, certainly.

Population doesn't necessarily relate to the size of a military. For example, if Bretonia relied on volunteers, while Kusari had conscription, I'd say Kusari would have far more pilots than Bretonia. It depends what percentage of the populace the governments of each would dedicate to the militarise.

EDIT: 'N I got round to posting that start of that story here.

While that is true, I sortof think, no matter how liberal the government, once the enemy is on your soil, you're going to open up a draft, in a big way. And you're prolly going to get a lot of volunteers.
