[DICTRAKTOR20]What happens when your bae invites her fat mate over?

Day 3,918, 14:26 Published in United Kingdom Ireland by Alfa UKSF


Scotland

Were we meant to win - Yes, no or maybe?

It's a mix of all 3 actually;

No - Capital is now moved to Yorkshire and Humberside where I/We want it to be. This may seem a minor point today but our final date for concluding resource concession deals is end of Tuesday. So on Wednesday I hope to come back to you and every single UK citizen with the outcome of the deals, the future shape of the UK and economic advice for all CEO's.

NOTE: Could any UK producer of houses please PM me as we need some data from you before closing a particular deal

Yes - Some UKers either through patriotic pride, a time when we had better resources or a disinclination to move have weapon companies in Scotland so the loss of Scotland would impact them and the UK bottom line.

Maybe - The whole driving force behind the 2 battles was for it to be a test of fighters, co-ordination, control and tactics between the UK and Israel (plus maybe a few friends from either side).

To that end we waved off allied assistance, informed neighbours, partners and other friends that the battle was not one where EB's and gold should be wasted and that events could and would be timed around more worthy events. We even informed you citizens that the battle was not critical and limited most CO's to UK fighters only.

Now to a degree this was going smoothly but then something happened!

I did write a whole spiel on the sequence of events but due to word limits....Essentially, Israel got a bit carried away and worried that their inital investment in damage might be negated by a 'loss' (anyone who has chased or defended a BH knows this feel) so they called in help from some big guns.

Now the chances are they would of triumphed in the end as their top fighters did finish 2nd,3rd and 4th in the top daily damage rankings but a couple of EPICs and a tactical AS CO aside, What we got was one of those battles where the mass of Bulgars, Poles and Spaniards just crushes all opposition i.e total lameness.

The fault for all this is mine alone


I had fallen into the trap of assuming that 'that lot over there' do things and operate in the same way as 'my lot over here' and therefore should of been more through in ensuring that 'understandings' were correctly interpretated and managed as 'correct conduct'.

Having gone a bit wild and rogue-ish in my day, I should certainly of been more aware of the passions at work on a battlefield and whilst I had got a back-up plan (Which is now being implemented) if things had gone hot, I had expected not to use it.

TL😉R
War will be over tomorrow
RW's will win the region(s) back
MPP's outside the Lith or Croatian stack will be re-signed (as we don't expect another Practice War occuring with the new rule changes coming due).
