The War: So Far and Possible Futures
•
by SaraDroz
Seems the nCPF recent foreign policy and strategy articles have had a bit of roll of win from our Party President calling for ePoland to be NE'd to Wilhelm Proposal of the same being carried in Congress to our articles on 'Aquitaine Strategy' etc the nCPF is rightly proud of itself and eCanada!
As I am the unofficial nCPF Foreign Affairs/Strategy spokesperson I have been asked to write another article, and as I will busy traveling in real life soon (to Poland!) this is probably my last before Christmas.
The Progress so Far
It's little short of astonishing! Nobody would have dreamed that the relative mouse of eCanada attacking the giant ePoland would cause such an unprecedented series of defeats. In this war our Armies, with a great deal of help from our superb allies, have literaly carried ALL before them! NEVER in my 3 year elife, has so small a country imposed such a catastrophic defeat on an eEmpire!: NEVER has eCanada been so esteemed but her allies! Be proud all ye eCanadians that laboured hard and long to see this OUR GREATEST HOUR! Today it is truly an Honour to say "I'm eCanadian". Some though that we'd be wiped from the map in this war; I myself thought it would be alot harder. Seems we had only to kick in the door and the house nigh on collapsed.
How we Arrived at Now
The success of the first attacks was, in my opinion, largely due to the 'over-extension' of the ePolish Empire. Holding so many useless regions is self defeating. eHungary had by far the most efficient Empire by just holding 'Hellokitty' and a few other 'citadels'; ePoland ignored this wisdom and went for wholesale subjugation. President Addy Lawrence took an enourmous gamble attacking Pays de la Loire. The eUSA battle on the 'junction point' of New Jersey (where they could reland in North America) was still ongoing and it was almost ePolish 'prime time' to be on; I had an ingame pm from a former Eden MoD saying "Canada done such big mistake I can't beli(e)ve it..." I suspect the REAL reason why Addy attacked in eFrance was to stop eUSA agreeing to the ePolish peace. Evidently they haven't and all eFrance now fights with us so the military gamble was essentialy a tactic to win our diplomatic way: it was risky and thanks mainly to our allies it worked.
Next Tasks
There still remains the ePoland 'pocket' in North East eUSA, where I see Rhode Island is currently under RW. This should be our next objective, else should we once lose the innitiave in Europe this 'pocket' may expand again! IF we wish to continue spearheading the war against ePoland all eFrench regions behind us should be returned to eFrance: This creates better relations with our eFrench allies and stops any ePolish mischief making diplomaticly; it also frees up our troops for any further advance in eEurope.
Longer Term Plans
ONE and ePoland appear to be in some disarray: There appears to be members of the ePolish Congress who disagree with their current policy (see: http://www.erepublik.com/en/Poland/law/90358) and ONE have forfeited any help from eTurkey (see: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-stankovic-alexa-one-ittifak-n-n-intihar-ya-as-n-eturkiye-nci-karde-li-i-1922815/2/20#comment). It is possible that One may dissolve like their predecessors Phoenix and Peace. It is vital therefore that we maintain our pressure at this (possibly critical) point. The question then is how best to do so?
It would be INSANE, in my opinion for eCanada (and eUSA too) to attack eSerbia in France. This brings more initiave problems and is essentialy beyond our capability. eCanada + eUSA +eFrance = roughly 13,000 people; ePoland = 16,000... maybe 'do-able', but eSerbia is 23,000 people, nor are they spread so thin as ePoland. ePoland has cut the corridor into eGermany by RW-ing the Alsace and Alsace Lorraine regions. Realisticly it would be unwise for eUSA to advance any further in eFrance; taking Auvergne will add another (and dangerous) front with eSerbia which may lead to another North American invasion. We on the other hand can safely take Burgundy and Champagne without creating another front with another enemy. I am pretty sure ePoland would give them to us! If we wished to continue a 'swap through' agreement would be needed with either eFrance or eBelgium. Since ePoland wishes to concentrate south and east (they are NE-ing eBulgaria as I write) I would suggest that now is perhaps a good time for diplomacy. A realistic peace may include the following terms:
A. Gerrouta North America.
B. Gerrouta eFrance
C. Gerrouta eNetherlands
D. Gerrouta all eGerman lands bordering eFrance and eNetherlands (eGerman 'neutral zone')
E. To last 30 days & etc including we don't go through 'neutral zone' either.
We could then look to eItaly and eSwitzeland. The real point is that any in continued operations in Europe we can either go East (ePoland) or South East (eSerbia and eSlavonia). We CANNOT do both or we face losing what we have gained, and quite possibly, another invasion.
Happy Christmas!

Another article full of food for thought, Sara!
~hyuu~
Can't we really only go East until we reach Lorraine? Unless we support France or Germany's want to go further East. Poland really doesn't have much of a choice but to give up on France it seems, with Lorraine taken the Polish Pocket in France is cut off and isolated.
This is a great article Sara, and if the readers enjoy this series, they should fight for Poland in this RW:

If Burgundy is returned to Poland, Poland will be in a strong position to close the war, and regroup.
Deny them that chance and let's take them behind the woodshed for a little tanning of the hide.
man that article made me proud to be a canadian, almost as much as winning the gold medal at hockey in vancouver lol
Great article!
I'm not so worried about the last three Polish holdouts in the US, which will hopefully be NE'd back over the next few days (it also looks like we're going to have to go after one of them today anyways). Poland has drawn it's line and it's nowhere near North America. It wants to wrap up the wars with us and the US so, as you say, they can go into Bulgarian held Ukraine.
This would actually help with any plans to create a fire wall as it would allow Poland the ability to RW back to Germany its Swiss and Belgian border regions without losing any resource bonuses.
For this reason taking the fight to Poland itself will be very difficult, and unlikely, requiring us to go through at least two countries to border Poland again. If we and our allies continue on to Poland it will likely have to be with Germany or an Eastern European ally leading the charge.
I think our best choice for Canada's war is to press on in France and try to go after Slovenia (although it could just as easily cut us off by RWing Piedmont) while the Americans went after Serbia. Yes, that will be a challenge but I don't see it as a threat against North America as all we'd need to do is RW back one US French region to cut off a line to our shores. Serbia did turn the tables on the US (not an entirely unlikely scenario) the beating would be swift and the total loss would hopefully be no more than two French regions, neither of which it currently controls (Limousin and Auvergne). But what's the point of going all the way to Europe if we're not going to have a little fun?
It's hard to predict the future but I really do wonder who we're going to be able to fight in a week. We may be back to Britain again or maybe we can arrange a deal with Japan (do it or we'll invade might be a good bargaining stance) to help us get Alaska. Think they could make it to Poitou Charentes?
You till write great articles
