OH LAWD SO MUCH CHOOSING

Ok, here's my thought -- we have to leverage *decisive* technologies and tactics. Think EU4 choosing Offensive, and Quality. This war will be won by logistics and diplomacy, not tactics. I guess it's like the Eastern Front of WWI.

1. A, B -- we want to minimize tech transfer to the old world. And if people can't get to the new world with boats, we'll be safe. Plus they're still kind-of our kin, so they may be more likely to help.
2. B -- sky power will be even more decisive than radar now, as it's both offensive and defensive.
3. B -- think Prussia.
4. B -- get dem sweet fossil fuels and dig the trenches there. this will also give enough 'defensive space' to handle our aiplanes.
5. E seems like a decent balance.
6. D if Freya is better at diplomacy and logistics than Anga. Otherwise, A -- we're not sane enough to handle all the shit she can throw at us.

So far, we've optimized completely for Naval power (securing petroleum, building radar, etc). So let's go with #2.

Why not transport Wyandot troopers via seas, should we manage to secure them?

2.

The only thing I can do right now is mention there is a draw between the two options and that a multitude of reasons, writer's block being the primary, was the cause for the hiatus.

So, getting naval reinforcements as soon as possible or more native auxiliaries trained quickly to fight a modern war?

can't we send a mechanized company of infantry to act as an escort?

You can't have an army that was in medieval warfare a few decades ago jumping right to large scale mechanization, specially considering the automobile is a relatively recent invention. There is no mechanized infantry, even in company scale, yet.

You know what? Might as well find the fact nobody cared enough to vote or switch a vote after I considered returning to this a convenient excuse to abandon it for reals.

Not big on changing votes that I feel confident in, but should you wish to continue, consider me flopping to whatever is needed to keep things going.

I share Nevill's sentiments. But since he beat me to it, flop him to the right and proper choice that is 1.

Cleve is strong with this LP.

What would it take for us to stop defiling Freyjanna with every update?

For that matter, what happened to the priest who sold her body? It would be nice to have him on trial and publicly executed. Freyjanna and Angartýr are one, and selling your leader out is compromising the security of the state. Everyone must take that lesson to heart before they start having further ideas about putting profits above common sense.

What is our estimate for repelling the onslaught of the Lenape?

And no, we aren't leaving before settling business at home.

While I would very much want Kraka dead and buried, I would prefer to resolve this matter quickly and quietly. Or just quickly. 2B>2C. No Kraka diplomacy, please.

Can't help but feel that's some sort of reverse psychology Sarah is trying on us again.
