[Taoiseach] War overview
Aras an Uachtarain
Citizens of Ireland,
I wanted to share an overview of our current situation with you all, since I understand that some people might be wondering what is happening at the moment. We fought very hard last days, but we were not able to defeat the Republic of Moldova (RoM) in open battle. We have been analyzing the war and found some reasons why we were not able to fight them off.
First reason is that the RoM have some really strong MPP's including Serbia, Hungary and Romania. Especially the Romanians fought very hard for the RoM. Secondly this was not an Ireland vs Moldova war, it was an Aurora vs LETO war. The RoM was only asked to be the platform of the Airstrike. Alliance support was very important on their side which brings me to the next point. Our alliance support wasn't great. Most of the Aurora members were fighting on their own national territory to secure congress. SIRIUS is no longer full partner of Aurora, because the recent change of Poland to restore old friendships with ASTERIA/LETO members. Aurora simply was outnumbered fighting against all those nations. Last but not least RoM was not afraid to use a lot money on combat orders. We tried to use this as well, but they simply had no limits in using them. I didn't want to bankrupt our country so I went looking for other solutions.
However we were not entirely on our own. As soon as the war started I informed our neighbors of the United Kingdom (UK) about our situation and asked them for their help. Their president explained me that they were fighting in the NSPP vs ASGARD war and that were not able to help. I also had contact with the United States of America, but they never officially responded to our request for help. I only heard from different channels that they didn't want to help us, because they feel like we betrayed them with the region rent. When the first battles were won by RoM I started to worry about our situation.
Until the moment that the news came that the NSPP coalition won and ASGARD was defeated. The United Kingdom were going to help us in our struggle against RoM! In the past there has been an hate love relationship between the UK and Ireland, but for this time we proved that sometimes a good neighbor is better than a brother far off. We are now working together with the UK to finally defeat RoM and kick them back into the sea. While we do this we will also Resistance War our regions back, doing this in close contact with the government of the UK to make sure everything goes smoothly.
I hope you all had some fun days fighting for our nation and I want to celebrate our victory together with our friends of the UK as soon as the war is over! I hope their will be more contact between our countries and maybe we will even apply to become member of the NSPP as well to make sure that besides of our allies in Aurora we will also have an platform that guarantees local regional stability.
Hail victory!
Hail Ireland!
Hail United Kingdom!
Taoiseach Kordak

Hail United Kingdom"
Padraig's body isn't even cold yet...
I don't know where you are talking about, you must be referring to an old event. However I only focus on the here and now. 🙂
Thanks for the update. Good job.
Hail Bremen Clubhouse!
good old times xdxd
As far as I'm concerned, we owe the UK a minor debt. Should they need our assistance against a common enemy, I wouldn't debate against it. Other than that, they're still the UK.
As far as Poland goes. I'm not in the least bit surprised. They follow victory/damage like 90% of the larger populated nations out there. Victory without honour. When the wars are won, they'll just write in the honourable parts that never existed while the outnumbered underdogs are still sore. 90% of their success has come from keeping minute nations wiped while following the path of least resistance. We've seen how they handle fighting other larger nations one on one.
So in short our "loyal" allies told us to go fck ourself....
Maybe signing future mpp with countries we can actually count on when and will not only think of ireland when they need help.
Our allies help us, but they have been too busy. Aurora needs strong leadership again so they will fight for all members and no longer only for themselves. That is why I also would like to see that Ireland improve contact with some nations that are close to our borders.
Our "allies" are always too busy...they have been busy for whole 6 months while we were occupied by british spawns of SATAN!
The only true and loyal ally of Ireland was Croatia...until Orcs that An SLuagh and Seanan belong, successfully destroyed that friendship when they start calling every croat a pig....for months...
Same Orcs turned once fierce ireland into a country of cowards who prefer to bendover before enemy instead defying if that gives them parilament of few regions...
Actually why would anyone fight for cowards?

Special thanks to those who gave up time to supply, used their own private CO's and contributed to the war effort in any shape or form.

Thanks for the update.
Got to say I thought this war was very mismanaged. End result was we got wiped and had to have the UK bail us out. A CP would of got impeached for less then that in the past. CO should of been put up as soon as they landed high enough to repel them. Waiting for RW was a poor stratagy and made us look bad. Hopefully the goverment learned something, the dection making should be reviewed.
I had my own CO up for several battles and won lots of points, the cost was nothing compared to what is in the treasury, or should be in the treasury.
I am sorry, but you are wrong. Putting up CO's didn't have the impact we wanted. From my sources on the other side I got the info about the available budget of the enemy. No way we were going to match that. as soon as we did set up a CO they set up higher CO's. Too much Romania vs Ireland and very little real Moldova firepower.
I put up the money on two diffrent occations, for 4K in CO we won 11 points in battles. These were cheap times of the day and we were already behind, but I have put up CO since that module started and the cost is not that much. They had low CO up or none the whole time. Last I heard we had 2 million in the treasury. Even if it cost 20K each battle for 8 battles that would of been 160K to win. Please give how much you estamated it would of cost to win the inital battle. You got the country wiped based on this dection, at least show the facts.
Whatever battle you dropped in on was an anomaly Moo. We tried the big CO method and it failed big time. The enemy were extremely well organized and supplied.
They were so well organized that they were timing their COs to win battles at key moments. With the team that we had on the job I'm 100% sure that with hindsight we probably would have spent less on COs, not more.
They beat the highest&deepest CO's in the world in every division.
In rounds 2+3 alone they overwhelmed more than 100k cc of CO's.
Victory literally could not be bought at any price.
There isn't enough dmg for sale in the world to defeat a super-alliance prio #1 ,it's been proved many times.
Thanks to the UK for their help and making this a very short wipe, though it was also in their interests not to have another border with a hostile nation. A couple of things to point out, though. No, the support we got from our allies wasn't impressive, but, more worryingly, our own fighters failed to turn up in the numbers we would have expected.
I did a quick calculation of the damage done by all the fighters in the divisional tables and I would suggest less than half did the damage you would expect of them when their country was being invaded. It's difficult to be critical of lack of firepower from our allies when a lot of Irish failed to turn up. Why that happened is perhaps a key point to look into as it's going to be an issue in any future conflicts.

Moldova are twats. I was happy to get 7 or 8 BHs against 'em. \o/
UK is legit.
Good job UK.
Pity that Ireland couldn't beat Moldova, but looking on the current global map it's almost impossible to win a single battle against Asteria and their puppets.Sirius doesn't even have coordination and Aurora has only 15% of world damage right now.
I expect some huge shifting of alliances once again so we should be in a better position soon enough.
