Well we know that there are people who go out and re-enact battles, like those guys who dress up as Union and Confed. and pretend to fight eachother.
Well I was thinking, what if we had a re-enactment of a historical battle, one that happened in Sirius?
The one I had in mind was the Battle of the Yanagi Nebula in Sigma 13 between the Rheinland Military and the Gas Miners Guild (the 80 Years War).
Seemed like an interesting idea, but there are some political issues (RM cannot enter S13), so the event will have to be somewhat OORP (the reason for the fight atleast)...
Rhienland forces should consist of at least 1 battleship, 2 cruisers, 2 gunboats, and a wing of fighters.
The GMG should have atleast 10 bombers and a fighter wing
For the battle
The RM forces jump their warships into the system from Frankfurt, in one final push to capture the nebula. They would encounter 2 GMG fighters, who immediatly flee back into the nebula. The Rheinland Capital ships follow them, acting as a shield for the Imperial fighters. The imperial fleet is tricked into entering the explosive gas pockets near the Sigma 17 jump hole. Here is where the GMG fighters would turn and attack, and the rest of the GMG bombers would ambush the capital ships by jumping in from Sigma 17 en mass. One of the cruisers would be lost almost instantly. The GMG would then target the gunboats. Once they have been destroyed, the Imperial admiral onboard the battleship issues retreat order to his forces, and they make a run for the New Berlin jump hole, only to be cut off by another GMG bomber wing. The final battle will take place in the debris field around the Yanagi (I wonder why?), where the RM battleship will be destroyed, along with the last cruiser, and any surviving Imperial fighters would retreat back to Berlin.
This is all just an Idea, and I have never really organized anything like this at all, nor do I know how to.
But this idea is up here inb the hopes that someone who knows how to organize these things can look at it and possibly step in or help figure out what to do.
' Wrote:*thinks it would also be a good idea for people to read the new infocard for the Yanagi Debris Field in Sigma 13 as well*
*thinks that its a good idea to move some random fighter to that location just to read the info card and flame adam afterwards if it should proof not to be worth the effort*
It all sounds well and good, but to be honest if you want to stay in RP you have to acknowledge that Union and Confederate battles happened so long ago that nobody feels enormously strongly about anymore.
The 80-years war however may be too recent, and strong feelings may be agitated. This may just be my views however, and others may think very differently.
