I am putting that to suspension of disbelief. The two armies remain in the form I put them in, AND they understand each other.

I actually side with Kas on this. :o

So just think of it as the Dominion employs a lot of translators and RP from there.

Alberto, later today I'll start the intelligence stuff in your country, like I did with Porcu. I'm just not sure what you want me to accomplish, or how.

And Kas, FYI, I'm probably taking Marslava out of the war like I did in Porcu :lol:

All the same, I just want to know what direction to take it before I start that makes everyone happy.

I'm essentially out of the war here in Europe; Kasnyian forces are simply moving through Porcu and occupying most of the country (from what I understand) but I'll be back to do some stuff in the Americas or in the later course of the larger war against the Dominion.

The loss of Marslava should not somehow destroy an entire Dominion Army (nevermind two of them). Nor should it be easy for them to achieve their freedom, despite preparation. Achieve it they will, but it better have toil behind it rather than "I have a secret army I've somehow hid from the Dominion that I will now use to overthrow you."

Perhaps circumstances could lead to the armies needing to be more heavily deployed along a front that would drag them from vital Marslavan areas? Then a few of my people could work alongside the current Marslaven insurgents/resistance to get the people to rise up.

Mind you, I have about four characters to work with, as I used Porcu's former ability to use Dominion airspace to move people into Europe which I almost doubt I can do again.

Your gonna have quite the time trying to enter Marslava's airspace, especially since its not an occupied territory but in fact a constituent state (one rung beneath "core territory"). Even the Porcuians can't get in those areas without special permit from the Overwatch. Then there is the fact that its surrounded by battlefields in nearly every direction...

As for your idea, that in itself is fine. As I said before, so long as it isn't some cheesy secret army of doom coming out of nowhere, and it doesn't cripple the Dominion (because, apart from its location, Marslava is not that strategic to Zapht) outside of losing Marslava itself, then I'm flexible.

Alright. Numbers-wise, you'll be fine. If it's all the same, is it okay if some planning takes place in this topic? It's just easier for people to know what's happening and saves on mixed messages being transmitted via PM.

Anyway, Marslava is a coastal state, so that would make it easier to physically move people. However, some kind of distraction would be necessary. It would create a little cross-topic working, but could the destruction of MJOLNIR, and the general effects it creates (while temporary) be tied in? Seems like it would be a perfect opportunity.

MJOLNIR was destroyed awhile back (sometime around the beginning-middle of the European campaign). It was just RP'd later.

And Marslava is not a coastal state. It has that one port, but its seperated from the main territory.

Ah... my mistake(s). Unless Alberto comes up with something, the best idea I'm going to have involves extremely fast helicopters.

EDIT for Menhad's post:

It actually crossed my mind.

You could build a massive catapult and launch them into Marslava

Well theorically you could try to get through the IXth Army lines in southern Konosha and get to Marslava from there, dressed as a civilian .
I imagine that your character may then be charged to lead a special force which would be the first one to insurrect .

Anyway the situation of Marslava is the following : the main cities are all presided by the Dominion, except Prague which is resort of the Ducal Guard, while the countrysides may be base of some kind of resistance .
Finally the harbour of Marslava is not in the hands of the Dominion but of the Marslavan Legion, so you can get there easely but it would be hard to leave that area .

The countryside may not have Dominion stationed there, but they patrol the countryside frequently enough. Nor is Prague bereft of Dominion presence, Zapht just allows the Grand Duke the notion that he still has sovereign authority over his nation. That said, your solution on how to get Ulgania inside makes good sense...

If it works, then by all means give me a little setup and I'll see what I can do. But... I'm not great with European geography so I'll have a slight learning curve.
