Alrighty guys I made this google docs file that contains everything we’ve discussed and planned for the Enver War so far. If I forgot anything, or got something wrong, let me know.
Obviously, on this thread we will discuss more events and things to put in the war, as well as organize future rps and timelines.
Colonus probably wouldn’t be doing much fighting, since this is kicking off at the beginning of the military revitalization (and they like some of the people on the other team), but they’d probably be helping with supplies and such. They might get more involved later, but that depends on when the slavery stuff comes to light
Hexadecimal isn’t really involved in war in the first place, and by this point they would have transferred any of their military responsibilities to Chronos
The SSK’s participation heavily relies for Enver to strike first against the Union of Emerald as this would enact the guarantee extended by the SSK, which is the current plan to my knowledge.
However, the full extent of Stoinian involvement can be discussed after the FTL discussion is settled. I’ve voiced my opinions already on that and will await the results of it. As initially I thought to have RSN taskforces operate hit & run attacks or even deep strikes within the Enver Axis as their realspace could allow them to navigate between the FTL inhibitors.
If that route cannot be taken, I do see the RSN going after external allies beyond the conventional war borders to dissuade any support of the Enver Axis. Possibly pursuing to create rump states of those external allies and ensure they aren’t capable of future funny business. This does also extend to star nations who give only nominal support of the Enver Axis.
An other route is the RSN going on a full fledged expedition behind enemy lines and make a long & slow push as they navigate around the inhibitors to strike from behind. If it wouldn’t have a possible agreement with Hydrosia by then.
Other than that the war does seem to take a bit long given the power (im)balance of involved powers.
The Enver-CoUS war was already decided irl before ESCOP existed, so the fact that ESCOP would be forced to get involved might have influenced the timeline
My understanding of it right now is that ESCOP is involved out of obligation, but not as involved as it could be, although that’s probably something we need to talk about.
Honestly attacking Colonus would probably make it more supportive of Enver, because previously it was pretty neutral
And probably pay reparations to the slave government that’s formed afterwards
And tighten our criteria for joining
And bonk Rosecordia on the head for vouching for Enver
