I have to agree with Egyria. There are many new players in the region and I don't believe they are ready for war on such a scale. So far it has been way too fast paced to keep up with and the RPing has been generally not of great quality. I also agree that small scale engagements are the way to go for now. Perhaps we should have some sort of RP training through "wargames" between friendly militaries?

Agreed Araam. Or perhaps a small war in the Netherlands, which seems to be a contested area?

Sounds good, as long as it stays off my borders. Yshurak wouldn't be pleased if it wound up involved in a war it had nothing to do with.

Well, this whole war seemed very arbitrary to me from the get-go.

lol, quite true. Was there any reason at all? Or was Saxe-Coburg just trying to show how badass they are or something?

I have no idea. I just know if CE had been involved, he'd go into tantrums over the ridiculousness of it all.

Let's just put the borders back to where they were post-insane war of doom.

Chemical weapons may be here, but where thye are is confidential. Also, Camizu and I would never dream of using such weapons. Sheesh.

I agree lets just sign an armistice that puts everything back to normal. We can just drop it. It got to big too fast. We can have a few minor wars before something like this occurs. I wanted to use this to teach people how to RP the war since there are so many new people here, but it got out of hand and has gotten ridiculous. Lets just say that tensions grew very high, but the leaders saw reason and disarmed. Then we can plan a small-scale demonstratory war to show people how to run a war. Any Laeplaen, you would only acquire the chemical weapons if you were going to use them. There is no other reason. It is insulting to our intelligence to say that you wouldn't. Any ideas for a practice war? Perhaps one between people from the Middle East with regions here, so that they would be able to show how to conduct the war.

Elyk's forces are now safely returning to the homeland. Overall, he only lost 150 men in the 2 day war.

I'm wondering about B and Berlin...

I suggest all newbies go to the Middle East forums and read the posts there

You own Berlin. I made sure to put it in your land, because I assumed it would be your capital. I had a thought. I would be willing to have a civil war. On one side would be royalists and Prime Minister Sievers. The other side could be communists, or anarchists of the 19th century style or something. An experienced player could assist one side and take control of all S-C forces on that side, and I would take the other. Then we could duke it out, and use it as an example for other players. We could explain our actions and tell them what is and is not God-Modding. Then other players could have their own wars and such. How does this sound? Of course, if you want a war only focusing on territory B, Egyria, I will fight one with you. That would work too.

I would be willing to play the communist/anachist faction if there are no qualms. I need to work on my RPing anyway but I have a good idea of what is and isn't godmodding. Plus, I've never played a communist country, all three of my countries are ver capitalist, so it would be an interesting change.

Meh, I think a war over like A or western Germany rather than an ideological war is better...

But whatever

We can have a war over German lands, with a German Unification theme. Prussia, the area in Germany that you currently own pretty much encompasses Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (Mecklenburg-Pomerania), Brandenburg, and Berlin. You also own part of the former state of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. However, the Strelitzian portion of this state is currently within the borders of Saxe-Coburg. You could claim this, perhaps. Here is a map of historic German claims. See if you can cull something from this.

The red line is kind of the current border of Saxe-Coburg.
