Resistance Wars: The Pros and Cons
•
by Lanthanide
I have always been very interested in the concept of a resistance war, yet I have never been one of the main supporters of one. I'd like to be, but every time I try to become a resistance supporter, it seems that a resistance has already begun, and I have to fight in it, just the same as anyone else. However, this doesn't mean I'm no longer entranced in the concept, and because of this, I'm dedicating this article to an in-depth study of the pros and cons of a resistance war.
PROS
1. Resistance wars are a grassroots effort.
I am a member of the UKPP, a center-right political party. The right are major supporters of grassroots efforts, of ordinary people working together for a cause they believe in. It's a beautiful thing.
2. Resistance wars are inexpensive.
Yes, resistance wars cost a hefty 10000 pounds. However, because the cost is split over 10 people, each person only ends up paying 1000 pounds, which isn't nearly as bad. Besides, it easily takes over 100000 pounds to fund a traditional war.
CONS
1. Resistance wars aren't nearly as supported by military units.
If you want to fight in a resistance war, you're going to miss out on the reward of completing your military unit's Daily Order, most likely. Resistance wars don't require the approval of the government, so the commanders of the military units, which, most of the time, are in cooperation with the government, often don't support resistance wars.
2. Resistance wars lead to sticky situations like what we have with Poland now.
As you may know, Poland recently quashed a resistance war set up to take back North West of England. However, Poland has basically ceded other territories by allowing the UK to declare traditional war, then letting them win. This is because Poland is a declared ally, which means that they're supposed to help us. So now, they have declared interest in staying in our land, which makes us question our alliance with them, and now Poland may be less likely to give us support if we get in a situation like what happened with us and the Argies not too long ago.
So in conclusion, resistance wars are inexpensive grassroots efforts that, if conducted correctly, can be extremely influential to the resistance's country, if not to the New World as a whole. However, if not conducted correctly, a single resistance war could lead to a country's demise. Therefore, I ask that all Brits embark upon resistance wars with a great amount of caution. I may question getting involved in one myself, come to think of it.

you got the wrong end of the stick mate...
Taking back the land takes time and coordination but it will come back, we have been in this position with poland several times before with no problems
Lanthanide, I don't think you fully appreciate the depth of difference between Poland and the eUK for numbers. Even when they are least active they still probably have more players online than us. Not to mention, when there's a resistance war going on that they're supposed to lose, people go looking for easy BH medals. They have a hell of a lot more firepower than us, so if we do 1 bad resistance war, and just a few too many Poles want to get some TP damage then we can easily lose a war we should have won. This isn't because Poland is trying to occupy. If they wanted to there would be no try, we would just be occupied.
I can see why low-damage BH medals would be an incentive. However, the Poles should have better communication...
OK, so maybe the first part of that isn't true. Poland's PEOPLE are unaware of what their GOVERNMENT is currently trying to do. However, because we've been declaring resistance wars without government approval (theoretically), the Poles could just say "OK, have your land, but we're not protecting you when the Argies come back..."
Hi guys. I am selling my British military unit. Anyone interested? 7 gold
You remind me of me from when I started the game, I think that is a good thing. When you learn more about the game you could write some really good articles. My advice is get a government deputy role so you can learn quicker, also check out other people's articles(like mine) so you can learn more about the game and how to write articles.
Also, subscribed.
Lanthanide,
I applaud your enthusiasm. I hope you do not lose that.
But as others have inferred, I do not think you truly grasp some of the finer aspects of the game. Please follow CheetahCurtis' advice and get a job in the government. Best wishes!
