A World Without America(OOC)

[Ruridova]

Man, in part two Britain will have so many colonies I'll have to do that...

What?

[Shrillland]

I mean showing our flags and coats of arms.

Ah.

[Fortunagen]

So wait, if everyone fled during the battle, where did those ten thousand go?

[Ruridova]

So wait, if everyone fled during the battle, where did those ten thousand go?

To their homes, throughout Georgia, and if they lived in Peachtree Creek/Atlanta, they then fled along with the rest of the inhabitants to a neighboring town that wasn't being fought for.

So wait, how many more soldiers do you have stockpiled, and why aren't they going north to defend the capital? I mean, I can understand why a few would stay back, but most would have gone North by now, don't you think?

Because these things take time and people tend to want to defend the area they're from. Some guy in Brunswick, Georgia, is probably not that interested in walking north for a week to defend Portsmouth, New Hampshire. He's interested in defending Georgia. The people who live in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware- they'll be interested in defending Philadelphia . And even if our hypothetical Georgian really wanted to defend Boston, that would take a lot of time and effort and that doesn't really militarily make sense, to use a bunch of food and supplies shipping some guy to one area only to then leave that area totally undefended.

So the revolutionaries are not operating with much of a central command structure anymore?

Well, with several leaders already dead, it's almost every man for himself at this point. Congress still sits in Trenton due to the danger in both Philadelphia and New York, but that may not last long.

So, even when the capital falls, they will still fight?

I don't know, that's up to Ruri.

Like the French Resistance, or the Viet Cong, or the FLN, or al-Qaeda, would fight: random attacks on British forces, hide in the woods or among the populace, pick off loyalists, destroy and capture British resources, with bits of frontal military-style resistance.

Arnold is still alive but with Washington dead the system is collapsing.

[Shrillland]

Ruri says he will be gone for a week starting tomorrow, and then gone for a fortnight starting on the 14th.

[Epraria]

Can I ask how the map looks like?

[Shrillland]

Can I ask how the map looks like?

I'm afraid Ruri draws the maps, and he's not here.

Ok cause I could join this rp.

Well, what would you like? We're still in 1775 at the moment, and since Ruri's America we will be in a bit of down-time for a while,, but we'll plod on where we can.

A major power if possible.

We still have some of those open, if I recall. China, Britain, Japan, Netherlands are taken thus far iirc.

How about Russia and Austria?

I'm not sure, honestly. o.O

[Shrillland]

Russia I know for sure is free, I don't know about Austria.

[Epraria]

Russia I know for sure is free, I don't know about Austria.

no one like Sweden has steamrolled it because its an NPC right?

[Unicario]

Yeah, Russia's been left well alone. Japan is too busy creating a trade network with Britain, China and the Dutch. Britain is too busy putting down the Americans, Austria is too busy bickering with Prussia, etc.
