Hmm. How about approaching Admiral Dandolo for permission to use the Venetian aircraft carriers as mobile bases?

Though, if the ships were attacked by the TO, for example ( :rolleyes: ), would the Porcuians aid in the fight against them? I wouldn't want my carrier's decks filled with suddenly pacified pilots when an enemy fleet sailed over.
That's a pretty good idea...

And yes, I would fight back if the TO decided to attack the Venetian carriers holding Porcuian aircraft.

You know if Porcu requested it, what with our recent treaty, the Confederate States of America could be dragged into this as well along with what I've already offered from Russia and South Africa. An since this is a civil war, it wouldn't be against the rules of the forum.

I always find it interesting how these things work out.
I did not intend to try and drag you in, but if it's OK with Sed and you don't mind RPing three different forces then I can have Nixon call upon our alliance. :P
Hmm well I'll leave it for you to call although if you do wish to call upon us, I may have you RP the forces we send as they would look to coordinate with your forces anyways since the Confederacy doesn't have a Dog in the fight anyhow.

"High King William has allies of his own, however. There are records of standing treaties between Ireland and the Russian and Roman Empires, which could potentially be of use in his defense. Venice has also made their intentions clear, and a Venetian fleet is already inbound toward Ireland. And there is the possibility that even Great Britain may potentially choose to intervene on William's behalf, given Otto's illegal offenses against Scottish forces during the Welsh-Scot war."


Actually there is no formal treaty between Russia and Ireland, just good friends at the moment. Not really a big deal, just thought I'd make that known ^^

You have enough on your plate already with Russia and the Catholic Hegemony and Porcu can stand on her own.

Well, I put as much in as I could before I got too tired. I'll put up more tomorrow, though ironically it already technically is tomorrow.

Well, I think it's developed enough to where I should start coordinating through PMs, lest this get entirely out of hand. I'll be on later tonight. Feel free to post, just don't burn down my cities. :D

You know, do movements and the like.

I can't use the Order yet. I need to establish them elsewhere first, or the 'wow' factor is lost. I need Menhad to do whatever it is he wants to do before I continue with it!

So as of now, I have no troops. Only a rather large fleet and as many squadrons of aircraft as the carriers can hold.

EDIT: BTW, does anyone have a count of everyone that's participating? I'm not sure if this list covers everyone.

William Siadhail's allies:

England
Venice
Porcu
Alexanderhaven
Russia

Otto Siadhail's allies:

The TO
Holy Catholic Commonwealth
The Bank - secretly

Is that right? Also, where does Great Britain fall?

Britain is on William's side, except when it comes to the Republic. They'll probably try to attack me when I enter the war.

I've been out all night, and I'm tired. After breakfast tomorrow I promise to PM everyone involved.

And Kasnyia, Hamburg is splendid! Thank you. This will make it easier to fit that fleet in the plot.

Just remember that, for the security of both you and Hamburg, you are not aware of where the ships are coming from.

Hey Telo, how many Porcuian aircraft can your fleet carry? I don't want to post ballpark numbers unless I have a decent idea. Also, what other areas are currently controlled by William-allied forces that I could to base my airforce out of?

Also, consider that I have between 16 and 32 aircraft carriers (depends on how many I wanted to devote to amphibious assault ships), but only 600 air-superiority fighters and 60 strike bombers. The Royal Navy probably has plenty of deck space for more fighters.

EDIT: Also, I just thought of this. A great amount of those aircraft would be under Otto's control. So, yeah, the Royal Navy has more than enough deck space at this point.

This is why you don't let Parliament control the air corps. :lol:

And why wasn't I invited?

Perfect time to launch a full scale invasion.

What do you have in mind? You can't just fight as a third party or you'll most assuredly be annihilated. A full scale invasion of who, anyway?

Yes, but what about the British?

BTW, NRE, you remember that Lans' England is allied with Venice, right? Tou's Britain is only on neutral terms, and only for as long as they don't destroy the English.

Sorry if I took some liberties, NRE. I wanted a nice victory first. Is the HCH there only as a naval power? That'll give me something to do until I can use the knights!

Then Russia will have to use its diplomatic might to change things now won't it :lol:

No, the HCH isn't just a naval power in this battle as i'll be switch strategies soon. An its fine, I try and stay flexible when it comes to RPing wars.

ATTICUS:
You know if you converted to Genesian Catholicism, the Commonwealth, New Harumf, and the Prussians would almost automatically be your allies....just a thought :evil:

I actually had an RP planned out for a full conversion, or maybe just a branch, creating a Celtic Genesian Chruch. But that all depends on the outcome of the war, and the support I get from you guys. I wanna see if we can turn this into a Holy War or something.

I think it already is, considering the deciding factor for several nation's choice in who to back is whether they are Genesian or not.

Except for the Bank. The bank just wants profit and is fully willing to help both sides out at the same time. So if anyone on the anti-Otto faction would be willing to accept the bank's help, just tell me. :lol: :D

"Work is the curse of the drinking classes."

Sed (or William should I say) should be careful in not calling this a Holy War, otherwise I will be retracting my support. Porcuians in general, and Nixon specifically, are not too receptive to religion and are not keen on fighting a religious war. FYI, all it will take is an affirmation by William that he is fighting on his people's behalf, i.e. against the totalitarian and repressive Otto. There's lots of ways you could phrase that.

Also, in looking over and updating my military page (please look and comment (but not there) :D ) I would like to slowly establish myself as aeronautical power, at the forefront of aerial research, training, development and, of course, fighting. I see this conflict as a good opportunity to set that goal in motion.

I seem to remember, almost two years ago now, when I was fighting in the Espanoran War and fought on both sides at one point, and you told me that that was a bad idea...
