War in the East

Well, I'm not saying we had a huge military, but we had a small but considerable navy.

Shayden is moderately powerful, though rises a lot from the war.

'MURICA, Kurt, 'MURICA.

We could have battles on Jonota Island. >

Where is that again?

It's the island in the middle of the Rites.

One of my islands? Or an island youve added?

This has Jonota Island on it.  So are you saying the Sanese would've attempted to conquer it? That could work, as they would need some presence in Euphemia.

It works a good staging point for an invasion of the weaker western Euphemia. Once conquered, it can be fairly easily defended, as well as fairly easily supplied.

Hm, if that were allowed then Okaiken would have gotten extremely close to western Althena, meaning that the Sanese fleets would have been able to defeat any Shaydian/Kuyrutian/Follandan forces guarding the Rites Sea.

Of course this needs approval from Carl. He was okay with Okaiken occupying some of the Kuykan Expanse, but didn't mention anything about actually reaching the Rites and being within earshot of the coast.

It would make the war much more fun though More "meaningful" conflict.

War should never be fun, but I catch your meaning it would be more "interesting".

Well yes, of course. I meant it would make it more "interesting" to create the RP and such of it. Instead of fighting over desolate land, we'd be fighting much closer to home, with much more real consequences, and for us Mitronans, it would be the real deal. Kind of like the Brits in the Revolutionary War, they had no stake in fighting the rebellion.

*Trentannia-Brüllen, it was one nation.

Bump*

This is something Mitron is actually a part of, let's not lose it to inactivity!

Side note: New Terrance before the GAW was a colony. I originally had them with Greater Morsco but it makes more sense if we were a colony of Trentannia.

Just like Septentria. I could see an invasion there, or strikes, in order to deprive Trent of the resources, although I'm not sure of the feasibility to divert resources there.

It was Bruellen, ffs.

Sorry, Will. Sheesh.

A simple mistake.  Everybody makes them.

Oh yeah this did die a little huh.

Honestly an invasion of any of the nearby islands is a bit too much. The Cilician is HUGE, and even though Okaiken had the advantage of crossing it with it's fleets and remain "lost" to detection, it's still a massive expanse to cross. Okaiken would want to secure the Kuykan Islands first, before thinking about attacking west Euphemia. If reinforcements were to come by sea, Okaiken would have set up listening posts all across the Kuykan Expanse, making it an effective "net" and early warning system so the invading Sanese troops wouldn't be caught off guard and flanked during their attack.

Okaiken's first target would be Kuyrut as well due to it's location. A good, resourceful peninsula to create a staging point for attacks against Shayden. Country's like Marqualis, Callemesia(old mitron) Mitron and Folland would be largely ignored since Shayden's the real threat to them.

Still, it's already established that Okaiken made no mainland attempts so I can't get too far ahead of myself. So it's down to these bulletins.

*Okaiken has naval superiority across much of the Cilician
*Skirmishes between Sanese and Shayden Navies across the Cilician
*Some island ground battles to acquire airbases closer to Okaiken
*Limited(?) Sanese invasion of Kuykan Islands - island hopping campaign
*Shayden/Follandan/Mitronian joint fleet stages off shore attacks on Okaiken home islands.
*Shayden deploys experimental tactical nuclear bombs on Sanese military and/or industrial targets
*Okaiken agrees to a cease fire

So?

Yeah Septentria was still a colony of Brullen up until the end of the GAW, where we supplied Brullen with weapons, tanks and such which kickstarted Septentria's manufacturing industry and when Septentria grew rich from exports and then when the war came to an end Septentria easily became independent from Brullen.

And the GAW could possibly be the reason for Septentria's Cilician territories, which could of been Brullen's at first but then handed down to Septentria?

That's just a basic form of Septentria's independence, more detailed versions will come out eventually.

@CM: You could gain independence in the treaty that ends the war?

@Mike: I think we should have more land battles on Euphemia.

No nuclear bombs D:<

Okaiken will expand in the direction of North and East, towards meeting up with the Trent/Bruellan Forces in the Carreon area while also invading the Kuykan expanse area.

The size of Okaiken is half of Japan, so the total manufacturing that it would have created would be half that, so an obvious reason is to call out our northern neighbors (Sept/New Ter) for additional reinforcements

I could argue that Septentria & New Terrance would principally supply their respective mother countries, and perhaps would secondly supply you. I argue that you get perhaps Peilan on your side.
