Analysis of an eIrish-ePolish conflict

Day 1,744, 09:48 • Published in Ireland Ireland • by Bigmike727

Hello dear readers, with an eIrish-ePolish conflict potentially in the near future for eIreland, I have decided to do an analysis of what could possibly happen in the event the conflict bears brunt and we really duke it out and some strategies both sides might want to employ, here is the main law for easy vote tracking

http://www.erepublik.com/en/main/law/Ireland/115009

First off we should go to a webpage called http://egov4you.info/countries/overview to get an assessment of each countries stats, such as daily influence, so lets compare

N.B. even though snapshots are collected at 18:00 eRep time, it can still provide valuable insight into how each country performs on the world scale

ePoland, ranked #2



Now, eIreland, not even bothering to rank us




Yes, I know, I have awesome MS Paint skillz

As you can see, there is a huge difference between our two countries in terms of military might( everyone already knew that though) so now I will talk about some possible strategies both sides might want to employ, and things both sides might want to avoid.

IRELAND

Before I dive too far in, I will take a look at the world map as it stands at 9:00 eRep time



Now there are a few things I would like to point out on the map that I will cover later

1. Our only border with ePoland is through eCanadian territories
2. The French border on the top of France, doesnt border us

Specifically #2 is a nice advantage we have on our side for now

Now there are several ways ePoland could react to the NE IMO

1. They dont really give a crap, and continue their wipe of eCanada/ePortugal unabated, and play a defensive war against our advances into Newfoundland & Labrador

2. The ePolish CP gets pissed and launches a full out offensive against eIreland from N&F( once NE on ePortugal expires, or is changed), and the Candian RW in Quebec and others close (allowing them to focus on us)
ie. BAD SCENARIO for us

3. The ePolish CP follows #1, but after finishing dealing with eCanada/ePortugal, turns their attention to us ie. BAD SCENARIO for us aswell

In short this war is going to be fought on the shores of eIreland or eCanada or maybe both, where its fought depends on the leaders of both countries.

Now dont believe the eIrish are totally powerless now, if our leaders are strong they can play a part in forcing the different scenarios onto ePoland IMO aswell

You see, ePoland's biggest weakness, its Achilles heel, is its #of daily RW's

ePoland currently occupies:

eGermany
eFrance
eNetherlands
eCanada

Thats a total of 4 possible daily RW's

Currently there is a RW in Quebec, Saxony, and the Rhone Alps right now if a RW could get fired up in eNL, it could really aid us once we take the offensive, as even though some of the countries have a treaty with ePoland covering the occupation of those regions, there are unabashedly e-nationalists in said countries similar to how we have eIrish fight in Dublin and Louth against government orders, but the main point is, if we can draw enough of their firepower away from our attack, we may be able to hit hard early on, as even though the RW in Quebec may close within the next few hours, it, along with the other RW's should be open long enough for us to disperse their firepower, the classic divide and conquer strategy.

WORST CASE SCENARIO FOR eIRELAND
Now lets assume all of our plans go down the crapper and we fail in our N&L battle to gain entry into eCanada, wait, all is not lost, the best thing to be done then is to combine with the eCanadians and start a RW in N&L the minute possible, as it is the only border we share with ePoland right now, and if we can get it into eCandian hands ( the most important part being to KEEP IT IN eCANADIAN HANDS) we may just be able to avoid a wipe, as thats where my point #2 earlier is important as, the border the eFrench have doesn't connect with our Southern flank, and preventing them from placing their NE on us once it expires from ePortugal, or changing it to eIreland ( should the eCanadians hold N&L)

SHORT STORY FOR eIRELAND
Start up and keep ePoland occupied in as many RW's as possible, if everything goes down the crapper RW N&L

ePoland
Nothing much to see here, just ALOT of numbers and ALOT of damage

Short story for ePoland
Avoid getting caught up in RW's, as some of the territories will be returned back anyways due to treaty agreements
Focus your firepower, avoid making the same mistake great militaries such as the Nazi's made ie. spreading firepower to far out
Make sure N&L stays in your hands if you look to invade eIreland
Your advantage is numbers and damage( in short everything 😛), use it wisely
