Particracy's World War

[Kubrick]

As some of you know some people have been working on putting together a World War in Particracy. The news posts have already set the theme the past few days and "behind the scenes" a lot of people have been hard at work gathering interested nations and players. The project is now becoming so big that it is quite difficult to coordinate it through private messages and party organizations. I personally believe doing it on the forums will be easier and give other players who are interested a good insight in what goes behind large wars and other events.

Current scenario:

The conflict started as a small fight between Saridan and Aldegar, a tiny diplomatic incident. Then Vanuku got involved and Trigunia as well and Dorvik joined soon after. Now all these nations are at each others throats, with many more to follow. The idea so far is that Dorvik and Vanuku will initiate the first blow and from there on who knows what will happen. Hopefully we can figure that out here!

The nations and players involved so far:

Dorvik (Farsun)
Trigunia (Maxington)
Aldegar (Reddy)
Saridan (hts and SSLU)
Vanuku (Kubrick)
Cildania (Polites)
Indrala (Liu Che)
Kalistan (Doc)
New Endralon (Autokrator15)
Barmenia (Oakwood)
Selucia (Lewis13)
Dundorf (colonelvesica)
Cobura (Akhanaten)
Deltaria (Nickmaster)
Sekowo (matt_Sekowo)

My vision of the "sides":

Aggressors:
Vanuku
Dorvik
Indrala
Cildania
Saridan
New Endralon
Barmenia
Dundorf (?)
Deltaria (?)

Defenders:
Trigunia
Aldegar
Kalistan
Selucia
Cobura
Sekowo (?)

So far there is a slight inbalance between the two sides, perhaps we can find a few more allies for Trigunia & Co within the community. But I already foresee some interesting fronts..

Majatra

West: Barmenia, Deltaria and Vanuku versus Cobura. Perhaps Cobura decides to attack Deltaria and the Barmenians and Vanukeans send small reinforcements to help the Deltarians repel the invaders. The Coburan goal would of course be expansion and distracting Vanuku to lower the pressure in the east.
East: Selucia versus Cildania, Barmenia and Vanuku. Perhaps Cildania will make a gamble and invade Badara, thinking the time is ripe but are then attacked by Selucia from behind, who are trying to stop the Cildanian ambitions. Barmenians and Vanukeans try to stop this by launching their own assaults on Selucia and reinforcing Cildanian positions.

Artania

Dorvik and Dundorf versus Trigunia (?) I am not very sure what we should do here. If Dundorf would side with Trigunia then there could be a land war of Dorvik versus Dundorf. Maybe Kalistan's navy could attack Dorvik.

Keris

Dorvik and Indrala versus Trigunia. Dorvish and Indralan forces invade Trigunia and try to hold onto whatever beachhead they get together. Perhaps assisted by some allied troops.

Trigunia versus New Endralon and Vanuku. Trigunian forces can't tolerate the threat of New Endralon next to them and invade, pitting them against the Confederation's troops and the few Vanukean soldiers stationed there.

Seleya

Aldegar, Kalistan and Trigunia versus Saridan and Vanuku. A bloody landwar between Aldegar and Saridan, both sides are assisted by their respective allies.

Dovani

Indrala versus Sekowo. Indrala is trying to get back in the game and attacks the solitary threat on Dovani: the Sekowans.

Remember, this is just speculation! I am open for everything but I am trying to get some "headway" with this. Not even the sides are certain, I just picked whatever seemed most logical to me. I urge everyone involved to participate and if you are interested in joining: post!

Dundorf and Dorvik wouldn't fight each other, the ties between the Volksdundorfische is far too strong and we've already cooperated several times before. It would be a little radical change for that to occur.

[colonelvesica]

As Dundorf is currently in the middle of massive social upheavals between the Socialists that have dominated the country, and the various paramilitaries of the right wing organizations that are rising up, it's possible that Trigunia and Kalistan attempt to invade Dorvik proper while Kalistan is aiding the Socialists in Dundorf keep the various right-wing militias and paramilitaries.

Unfortunately I am playing with a player who very likely isn't very RP friendly... Fredreich aka SED in Dundorf itself... regardless I would definitely love to get involved. My other thought for an Artanian War is Cobura getting Ibutho involved, as they have the same Royal Family... as Ibutho and Dundorf are next door neighbors that gives the Trigunian bloc a foothold in Artania itself and the possibility of a ground war against Dundorf.

[Liu Che/Zhuli]

I could see Indrala invading Sekowo in an attempt to truly reassert itself in its traditional sphere of influence, but I do not see Indrala invading Trigunia, but instead helping out with the attack on Aldegar and Kalistan. Once those threats are neutralized could Indrala have the necessary power to move on to Trigunia. Geographically, Trigunia is just too damn far away from most of us

[Kubrick]

Well, it's the idea-phase after all. Plus, Indrala doesn't have to send a million men to Trigunia, even attaching a few divisions to the Dorvish invasion force would make it Dorvik and Indrala vs Trigunia. The point of scattering forces all over the globe is making this a full on World War.

[colonelvesica]

I'd also be unconcerned about how the sides seem "unbalanced" as I recall the Jelbic War involved six nations all against Zardugal and they still won

[Akhenaten]

Cobura and Deltaria are allied: http://classic.particracy.net/viewtreat ... atyid=3190

I suppose that could change but it would be a new development.

I have an idea, but it would require a player in Jakania. It goes like this; a Jakanian terrorist group launches an attack on a city in Cobura, probably Sharba or Augusta for forcing fellow Ahmadis to live under a pagan infidel, or something of the sort. The Coburan government accuses the Jakanian regime of harboring the terrorist group, which they deny. (Are they? Who knows.) Cobura and Deltaria then invade Jakania. Vanuku and Barmenia, who don't think the Jakanian regime had anything to do with the terrorist attack, send supplies and troops to Jakania in support.

[Farsun]

I cannot believe I am saying this but...I am not against an invasion of the Dorvish mainland, it would give me the chance to activate my Landsturm Directive and that's freaken exciting to me. I imagine that Dundorf could be the site of a "Cold War" so to speak, with the Dundorfians being pulled from two ends. The Dorvish bolstering the right-wing and the enemies bolstering the left-wing. I know that Berlioz is opposed to any and all RP, he'll just vote no because he cannot own Dundorf and continue it into isolation, so that's unfortunate but maybe elections there will change that...who knows.

[colonelvesica]

That also works. For now i dont mind if Dundorf is our "Switzerland" or more likely "Spain". Operatives from both side use it as a way to get into the heart of Artania since thr nation is in a pseudo Cold War anyways

How much help will Saridan and Aldegar be getting? Is it going to be a Saridan v Aldegar with some assistance, or is there going to be heavy involvement from Trigunia and Vanuku?
