Gratz but Seriously: Next?

The phenomenal effort and 'balls' of ALL the Government in attacking London and was organised with supplies and support from allies so well, resulting in yesterdays historic victory in London, must go down as one of if not the greatest moment in eCanadian history. The fact that this comes two months after we ourselves were twice wiped from the map makes it all the more remarkable. It should however also serve as a warning...
Yes we have done superbly - not in my elife (since December 8 200😎
has London ever been occupied. That we are able to do this two this months after not existing is partly a credit to the organisation of recent and current Governments.
Can it be sustained? I would argue that it cannot. The focus of Eden and Terra will now return to eBulgaria and we do not have the population to 'hold' eUK. Though our victory is partly due to good management the fact that a country can be off the map 2 months ago and now conquer London is a warning of the possible retaliation we face. Poland are just across the Channel and we certainly don't want them back in N.America.
It seems to me we have three choices:
A. To try to conquer eUK.
B. To get to the eUK coast and invade ePolish occupied eFrance.
C. To negotitate a NAP (non agression pact) with eUK for us and eIreland.
The first option I think is impossible and hardly worth the effort anyway. The second brave but perhaps stupid as it involves fighting eUK and ePoland together at some point. Even if we won one part of eFrance we are still open to eUK attack via Scotland. The third option is perhaps boring but would alow a joint Terra attack on ePolish occupied eFrance while guarding our border from eUK attack...
I suggest neither as 'best' though my heart tells me we shall fight for A or B and my head tells me that C is the wisest. Some victories are wasted in the aftermath. Let us not make this a 'pyrrhic' victory where we say: "Another such victory over the Romans, and we are undone."

No one cares about what you think..
I would rather be right than a thief.
We could have had a fourth option had our administration not tried to go for glory and focused on keeping Alaska instead.
Wise words - well said SaraDroz.
saradroz: always wanting to learn a bit more about the strategic so do keep educating me. re:NAP -- what's in it for the UK given that we can't hold what we have?
olivermellors: not much ergo we must use ANY advantage we temporarily have.
I don't think a NAP is possible if it includes Ireland and their strange demands to have Ulster as one of their national regions. (Plus we have no other nation in the area we can fight)
Option C is no potion at all SaraDroz as the eUK has proven time and time again it has no honor and will break truces and NAP and stab its allies in the back at the drop of the hat. Best bet is to keep fighting UK one on one as while TERRA and EDEN are fighting ONE we can play with the red coat mice whom we have prove can fall even in London!
lol lets go after poland in france!! i vote for that one its the best choice.
just like loosing region bonus's the americans let us keep for the ego trip of saying we took london for less than 24h was totally worth it!!!
"Though our victory is partly due to good management..."
Management had f*ck-all to do with it. It was Roger Grizwald and JFStPierre spending their entire Saturday handing out supplies, as well as insane tanking from myself, Grizwald, AnonymousHooligan, Fritzhill, Pignon, Archangel, Philip Delle Palme and others that brought this victory. Please give the credit where it is due ~_^
It was a piss poor decision to attack UK again, and even though we won a hugely symbolic victory, we have lost our region bonuses due to RW's. The gold spent by the tanks (and cad spend by the gov) is gone forever, and I (for one) won't be buying gold again for a long time.
Kind of agree Tem which leaves us with the next decision.
how about NE Japan and go there 😛
> I (for one) won't be buying gold again for a long time.
Bet you change your mind if I drop 20mill in NewFoundland 😛
> how about NE Japan and go there?
You have to Border a nation to NE it. We not only took Alaska back to stop the flow of Oil but also to make sure you couldn't bother Japan (Who apparently the UK likes!?)
lol alfagrem do you own erepbulik shares 😛
I would lie to propose that alfagrem, tem, myself , thatcher, AnonymousHooligan, Fritzhill, Pignon, Archangel, and Philip Delle Palme, move to Ireland and from there take over the World.
But Seriously, we will not sign a peace deal with the UK for a while, they need to at least take a few of our regions first to calm down. We proposed peace with them 48 hours before hitting London, and after we took London they rejected the offer.... so, I say we attack Poland and deal with the UK at the same time, if we get wiped, lets go down hard. lol, everything after the "..." is kind of a joke....
The UK congress wouldn't accept a peace treaty if it were one of the big nations fighting us let alone Canada (and by assumption 'Ireland').
I do agree with Roger tho' - This can only end the way it did last time, another nation gets involved to even the odds up and the border gets closed.
............So you may as well take the plunge and at least decide the time and place!
What Roger Griswald forgets to mention is he promised that Canada would not be "devoting resources" to the battle. I don't know how that adds up to the enormous tanking and supplying that went on. We consider that to be lying old buddy, and now we'll go down fighting to the end.
No deals with liars.
I wonder if Poland fancies joining the party since you're all so keen in intervening in our private war with Ireland.
Iain Keers: CANADA did not devote resources. Private funding. We has moniez.
No deals with hypocrites.
How about attacking a country more your size and not one 1/4 your size and claiming it's even?
The debate this London take over is sparking is really starting to get to me and I can not keep silent.
Tem: Well said, Government had nothing to do with this besides deciding to where to attack.
Alfagrem: Drop 20m wherever you want. No one cares, you are not nearly as important as you make yourself out to be. I would love to be your credit company though. Your credit rating must be incredibly high.
Roger: You have the right and wrong idea. The trolling of taking London is done, let them rage. Picking the next country to piss off is a little early though.
PS: Roger, I like that idea of a new Ireland. No, I LOVE it. That's a government I can get behind. Just make sure you guys are always stirring the pot so that us little guys get some action.
PPS: Seems everyone's gotten a little off topic of the article. Leave the debates to the forums/IRC channels/PMs/Related articles.
PPPS: Sara, I'm sorry, but I agree with the census here. This is a terrible article that was obviously written in a hurry. You're smarter than this. Do a little reporting next time and get some facts. This kind of offensive can NOT be sustained, but it can be REPEATED (Damn I wish I could use bold fonts in these). Quite easily I might add, which is really all we need. Don't get the wrong idea about me though, I like you. I've been watching you for a while now and every once in a while you poop out something like this. Also, every once in a while you have a very strong opinion with excellent reasoning that should be heard.
One last PPPPS: Rolo, good trolling, but not good enough. You have talent, you can go far. For a small fee I am willing to apprentice you if you wish it. You just need direction.
I think Canada is amazing
Both Nation & its people have my gratitude
and (small as I am) I will always be there to return the favour
whenever they may need/want
