Possible Guerrilla war strategy ?

Remember that I'm a newbie, and most of times I talk nonsense.
But, ...
Well, there's a war going on, a war were losing badly. The enemy seems either they have a plan either they're stronger or both.
Well, the winning tactics for the weak is guerrilla war.
How can it be implemented in eRepublik? Starting fake fronts in the enemy rearguard forcing the enemy to defend it.
ONE allies would still called to attack the main target, but not inmediatly, first the four or five targets would be threaten, they fake a real objective. Each of our secondary or top elite forces (changing it from time to time to confuse the enemy) would tank targets, that would require enemy to defend several regions using a greater force, besides enemy allies would confused to choose the real target.
One variation could switch real target for another one, as desired.
Guerrilla wars work better for the weak, because attacking requires less strength than defending.
The ammount of firepower spread in the different campaigns is up to us. We can choose where and for how long we divert in a fake invasion, it can be assigned as a command for a couple of MU, and they'll never know if they're a beach head for a full scale invasion or just diversion.
Besides, both Serbs and Spanish excel in guerrilla war and discipline, it's the winning choice for us.

nice idea
Nice... but expensive.
Trouble is, as recent events show once again, that we just don't have the firepower to spread it all over the place.

Problem is, people don't listen, they'll fight everywhere. That's why we had the big problem with people wasting their time in scotland and Northern Ireland, when we had a peace deal, that well down when the french invaded.
If we're fighting a resistance war in one region we can win, because the whole country will help, fighting attacks, defences and RW's at the same time leaves us in a situation like the one we're in at the minute.
Guerrilla war is not exactly doing RW's ( or only RW) but attacking any enemy region.
We can only attack when we have the initiative. We have the initiative against France now and we did NE them. So we can attack one region of France. We can do RW too in one region of us occupied by France. The war with Canada is closed (Canada does not own our region, nor we have a border). The war with Germany will be closed soon (66-0 for Germany, do not fight there). We can RW one of our regions that is occupied by Germany. With Ireland we have peace (do not fight in RW against them).
So that leaves us with 3 possible battles at the same time against the occupation.
Only when one of our allies opens a war on our enemies there can be more fronts. Lets focuss on France.

Come on IRC and on our national forums to discuss more in depth.

United we stand!
Then a joint action of allies is the way to go in a guerrilla war strategy, with several fronts at the same time.
I'm usually at IRC, less at forums.
