Perhaps initially, but one of Ioudaia's early strategic objectives would be to turn it into a Free Powers lake, starting with the nearest seas (North Mesder Sea, Arrowhead Sea (between Nhoor and Grotere Leithania), and Tyshirean Sea (immediately south of Ioudaia). We really need more sea names to make talking about IW naval theaters and battles easier.
I was thinking that FP sea control (or at least sea denial) would lead to the collapse of the KK invasion of Domanania, as sustaining an overseas invasion against FP wolf packs and Ioudaian and Doman land-based airpower is at least very expensive, and ultimately futile once heavy FP surface forces are available. Whether the KKs evacuate while they can or whether there's the usual, um, humanitarian excession against the isolated KK forces in Domanania is an interesting question.
Ioudaia would next push to liberate Nhoor and Serpens Land, since they're close by, and Ioudaia will have to develop ships, weapons, doctrine, and training for amphibious operations. Some of those are easier against closer objectives than farther ones.
So, a question for the FP players: do we develop an overarching strategy against the Neo-Imps? If so, when? Is one already established?

The Khas-Kirat Empire, counting only Vendriothos (mainland Magarat) and nobody else that I conquered during this time period, would have had a population of 25 million. At its peak in 1946-1947 (by the time the invasion of Vendrithos itself had already started), the Imperial Khas-Kirati Army had 4 million personnel with 3 million being combat troops (earlier when I would be the one invading, the standard division had 20,000 fighting force with 30,000 divisional slice). For the Imperial Khas-Kirati Navy and the Air Force, I have yet to decide.

During the First Imperial War, the Sunset Isle remained almost completely untouched. Martenyika considered plans to occupy the island and utilize it as a naval outpost, likely for submarines if not other craft, however these plans never came to fruition due to strategic and logistical priorities.
...the Martenyikan Royal Navy submarine RMNS Albatross surfaced just off the shore of Sunset Isle during a war patrol. Some of the Albatross' crew disembarked and made their way onto the shore with cameras and a Martenyikan flag, which they used to take a few photographs and short video reels before leaving. Once they returned home, the videos and images quickly became a hit amongst Martenyikan wartime propaganda.

Dormill and Stiura wrote:Dormill and Stiura wrote:Now that I'm fully back in it, I want to give a true and definitive update to this, and present a full timeline of events that Dormill and Stiura experienced throughout the entire Imperial War.
- 1939, August: The Dutch Republics and Ardeda separately declare independence from the United Republics, citing a large list of abuses levied against them by Ludvoic Denis and his Revolution and Restoration Party. Any remaining Doraltic colonies internationally also assert their independence, the existing governments taking over from former central authority directly.
- 1939, September: Nullifying the Constitution, Ludvoic Denis assumes complete control over the United Republics, directing military and paramilitary forces to invade and retake the seceding Republics. Mutinies across the Army and Navy against Denis undermines initial operations.
- 1940, January: Navy mutiny ends with Adm. Lukas Monet Jr. taking 2 Battleships, a Heavy Cruiser, and an assortment of smaller ships to Swaneeak Atoll. He would eventually join the Free Powers and fight alongside the Osean Navy against Doravo and Collie.
- Army Mutiny ends in an officer purge, most replacements are retired officers from the Great War and the rest are ideologically aligned to Denis.
- 1940, Late January: With the military back under control, Denis orders an invasion of Ardeda through the Van Curan Valley, which is met with limited resistance by an ill-prepared Ardedan force.
- First Van Curan Valley Campaign ends in major victory of Denisian forces, Boissieux and Enoire are captured, Ardedan forces flee to the border or to Temple, where they will hold out for the rest of the war.
- 1940, March: Denisian forces cross the Kapolder for the first time since the initial fighting started, the City of Kapolder remains a major area of fighting, but mobile tank forces encircle the city from South Kapolder. International volunteers from AM, Roendavar, Ostehaar, Doravo, and other coming powers, would begin filtering into the war.
- 1940, April: Tank forces push out from Kapolder, capturing Veldzicht before most of the anti-Denisian government could escape. Merv De Vries, leader of anti-Denisian forces, would escape to Stafford under cover of darkness.
- 28 April: Kapolder surrenders, POWs would be taken to prison camps in the far east while civilians are redistributed from the city. Mass rape and atrocities, paritcularly of a sectariain variety, are committed against the civilian population. The oldest church in Kapolder is also destroyed by Denisian tanks in a show of force.
- 1940, Late April: Infantry reaches Veldzicht, Panzergrenadiers (or the nearest equivalent to early mechanized infantry) are formed and join tank forces in Vroomenstadt and on the approach to Stafford.
- 1940, May: Tank skirmish in central Stiura between Denisian and anti-Denisian forces, Helle becomes the next target for conquest.
- Air and Naval bombardment of Stafford, Port Orange, and New Leeuwarden begin in earnest, crippling anti-Denisian morale.
- 1940, June: Helle falls in late May, tank forces directly threaten Eppendorf and Zwolle. Bombardment of Port Orange, Stafford, and New Leeuwarden intensifies, Denis starts demanding the surrender of De Vries and the end of the conflict.
- 1940, July: De Vries escapes to Roendavar alongside a core group of supporters, orders remaining forces in Stiura to surrender. Most would, excluding leftist forces, who escape to Kettingwier, and then Vlagberg, to continue the fight.
- 1940, August: Denis declares victory in the Doraltic Civil War, uses the war as pretense for maintaining power and mobilizing the economy and population.
- Naval Plan "CURTAIN CALL” is enacted, United Republics begins massive shipbuilding program in direct violation of the Nolon (or replacement) Naval Treaty, it would produce 5 battleships, 8 light carriers, 6 fleet carriers, 8 battlecruisers, 5 heavy cruisers, and a plethora of other ships over the course of the Imperial War.
- 1940, September: Manhunt for De Vries begins in earnest, secret police are deployed en masse to hunt for him, his cabal, or any sympathizers. The secret police would also use this as an excuse to hunt and imprison people contrary to Denis’ vision of the nation, starting with non-Europeans.
- 1940, November: The Foreign Intelligence Directorate confirms that Merv De Vries has resettled in Docaria, Roendavar, under protection of the Roendavarian government as “President of the Interim National Congress of Dormill and Stiura”.
- 6 November: Denis would issue an ultimatum to the Roendavarian government to surrender De Vries and his collaborators to Dormill and Stiura for crimes against the state and people. It is set for two weeks.
- 1940, 14 November: The Roendavarian response is not forthcoming, Denis arranges forces near Roendavarian-Doraltic border, including reusing the old star fort near the Malis River.
- 1940, 20 November: With no response from Roendavar, Dormill and Stiura declares war and invades, sweeping aside initial forces at Faerin and Relanthir.
- Both cities would suffer greatly during the war, becoming the main points where Roendavarian civilians and POWs are sent before being brought into D&S, or as the war drew to a close, were killed en masse.
- 1941, January: Vastaros is entirely overrun by Denisian forces, Lantaroci holds out with naval aid provided by the Roendavarian Navy. Mieras falls in mid-January, opening the door to Docaria.
- 1941, 16 March: Simultaneous attacks across the Isles by Magarati, Doravan, Colliean, Martenykian, and Doraltic forces marks the official start of the Imperial War, with the Neo-Imperialist representatives meeting in Concordia to establish their alliance.
- 1941, April: Althoros falls, Doraltic forces begin to invade the outskirts of Docaria. De Vries and Roendavarian leadership remain in the city to organize the defense.
- 1941, April - 1944, October: The Battle of Roendavar persists for three long years, as Neo-Imperialist and Free Power forces trade blows and territory until, finally, Doraltic forces are dislodged from their dug-in positions across Docaria.
- During this time, Doraltic forces would participate, on a limited basis, in the war across the Isles, including defending points of interest in Collie, Martneykia, and Doravo, assisting in the Keverai Campaign, and fighting in the Eterna.
- Ostehaar would also join the war in 1941, though fighting in the east is limited thanks to limited forces and effective defenses.
- On the Naval front, the new Doraltic Navy would focus its attention on convoy raiding in the Argean, attempting to undermine shipments to Segentova and Altera in support of their war effort.
- 1945, January: Doraltic forces are driven entirely out of Docaria, and increased pressure is put on northern forces at Caenera, they will be dislodged from their positions by the end of the month.
- 1946, February: Free Powers forces invade Dormill and Stiura through Roendavar, New Leeuwarden is declared a frontline city and intense fighting consumes the area. Vlagberg is also attacked around the same time, and forces are diverted there to defend.
- 1946, June: New Leeuwarden and Vlagberg are overwhelmed, Port Orange is abandoned and new defenses are made at Zwolle, Eppendorf, and Stafford.
- 1946, July: At the exact same time a major offensive begins along the Orange River, a Free Powers invasion of Ambreieux changes the situation of the war entirely.
- 1946, 21 July - 1 September: Defenses in the North Coast fall apart, great swathes of land are taken by Free Powers up to Abancourt, where a new defensive line is made.
- 1946: September: River-based defenses at Zwolle fall, largest loss of soldiers, industry, and civilian population throughout the entire war.
- 1946, 30 October: Partisans and special forces, led by Merv De Vries, [a Roendavarian general], and [an Alteran general], infiltrate Cour Rouge and capture Ludvoic Denis and parts of his cabal. Organized defense of Dormill and Stiura collapse by the next day.
- 1946, 18 November: Free Powers forces cross the Kapolder river at Vellemoz, General Bernard Fèvre, then Chief of the Army staff, surrendered that evening, ending all organized fighting between Dormill and Stiura and the Free Powers.
- 1947, 1 January: Ludvoic Denis is forced to sign an unconditional surrender of Dormill and Stiura to the Free Powers while imprisoned in Nolon City (or replacement). He would be publicly executed by guillotine a year later after standing trial and testifying to war crimes at the post-war tribunal.
As always, this list is subject to changes and updates as the Imperial War changes around us but this is, at its core, the full canon timeline that D&S experienced for the Imperial War.
I swear, this is the last time I intend to change my Imperial War timeline, Gaeltic neutrality and changes in the dynamics of the war in Roendavar mean that D&S as a Neo-Imperialist (and especially the following post-war state of division) no longer works. However, most of this timeline is going to remain the same up until November 6, 1940, which is where I will do my new timeline from. [Events in brackets are of undetermined canon but have been discussed or would have a clear logic with respect to other canon events]
- 1940, 6 November: Judging the situation regarding Merv De Vires and Roendavar, Ludovic Denis decides that pursuing an all-out war against Roendavar for the life of a single traitor will interfere with his wider plans for "Gael Utopia", his fascist dream of a fully Europeanized Gael under Doraltic rule. He instead directs the Foreign Intelligence Directorate to make every other effort to bring De Vires to justice. [Merv De Viers would use the opportunity to escape to Hintuwan with the "Free Doraltic Fleet".]*
- 1940, December: Sensing an opportunity to enhance the abilities of his military further and especially to interfere with the operations of Lukas Monet Jr.'s "Free Doraltic Fleet" in the Southern Sea, Denis orders the creation of a naval and marine task group to draw the Free Fleet into a chasing engagement. This would eventually end with the two naval groups clashing during the [Invasion of Hintuwan (Keomoran Invasion of Doravo)] and the decimation of the Free Fleet.
- 1941, January-March: As the state of diplomacy in Argus deteriorates, Denis is sought out by representatives from [Doravo], the Khas-Kiriat Empire, and Martenykia discussing a possible alliance to break the chains of the Rickemonde Accords. Denis ultimately decides for a policy of armed neutrality in line with the rest of Gael, content to stay out of the coming conflict.
- 1941, 16 March: On the Ides of March, Khas-Kiriat and Tsunter forces attack San Montagna simultaneously, beginning the Imperial War. The Khas-Kiriat Empire closes the Doraltic embassy in Tapu Sahar and Denis closes the Khas-Kiriat embassy in Cour Rouge in response.
- 1941, March-August: Volunteer forces are organized by Denis' political party, the Revolution and Restoration Front, to assist Neo-Imperialist forces in the Isles, namely during several battles at the end of the San Montagnan campaign.
- 1941, September-December: The Neo-Imperialist invasion of Aizcona begins at some point before 1942, during which Martenykia formally joins the war and cuts diplomatic ties to Dormill and Stiura. Denisian volunteers participate in the campaign briefly before being declared persona non grata by Neo-Imperialist commanders.
- 1941, Late November: [Segentova joins the war on the side of the Free Powers following an unprovoked attack by the Elsiczk Kingdom. The Khas-Kiriat Empire jointly invades Segentova from the south, swiftly taking control of the Central Canal.]
- 1942, January: Southern Segentova falls completely to the Neo-Imperialist forces [,with Khas-Kiriat and Elziczk forces meeting late in the month, completely securing the coast of the Karnali Sea on the east]. Denis has a crisis of consciousness as he debates intervening to the aid of his French brethren or allowing the Neo-Imperialists to win in Segentova, giving him space to operate in Gael.
- 1942, Febuary: The Khas-Kiriat Empire [and Elziczk Kingdom] launch the invasion of Solaryia, opening the Raedlon front of the Imperial War. Denis uses this opportunity to deliver a regular army force to Segentova as "volunteers", seeking to stabilize the front against the Neo-Imperialists and drive demand for war materiel.
- 1942, May-July: Regardless of Doraltic efforts, the Segentovan front is pushed further north, prompting tensions to flare between the Khas-Kiriat Empire and Denis' government for the latter's involvement.
- Simultanious to the events in Segentova, the Khas-Kiriat Empire launches an invasion of the International Island and soon thereafter, Roendavar, bringing the war to Gael. Gaeltic governments protest the move but do not immediately respond with increased escalation.
- 1942, July-December: Oscotia, the only Gaeltic nation to directly intervene in the war at this point, is forced to retreat from Roendavar to Arvan. [Fortunately for Roendavar, defenses on the way to the Eternal City of Dociara hold throughout the rest of the year, stalling the Khas-Kiriat advance on the Faris River.]
- In December, the Solaryian government capitulates to the Neo-Imperialists, though forces continue to resist Khas-Kiriat occupation. [Other Raelosi nations at this point fully join the war and begin planning for a liberation.]
- 1943, January-June: At some point in early 1943, Denis reaches an agreement with Oscotia to allow the Oscotian Air Force to base its bomber fleet in Dormill and Stiura in exchange for handing over Arvan at the end of the war. This action definitively marks the end of Doraltic neutrality in the war although it does not officially join the war until later.
- 1943, August 22: With Serpens Land capitulated by Neo-Imperialist forces, the Serpens Lander government escapes to the Alteran Republics. Neo-Imperialist forces, primarily those of the Khas-Kiriat Empire and the Kuzzah Republic, invade the Serpens Lander territory of Daichen, an island off the coast of Kuzzah and Keverai, to take advantage of the disorder, starting the Keverai Campaign
- 23 August: Forces of Keverai enter Diachen in support of Serpens Lander forces, but are similarly overwhelmed over the following two days by a numerically superior Neo-Imperialist force. The Free Doraltic Fleet begins sailing for Keverai to assist.
- 1943, September-November: The Charbagnian Imperial Revolt, a pro-Neo-Imperialist coup perpetrated by the German minority population with the intent to join the war and conquer the Southern Sea, is repressed by a joint Denisian-Free Fleet naval and marine operation. This rehabilitates the relationship between the Free Fleet and Denis' government, who grants the former amnesty for their mutiny and reestablishes the central chain of command to the rest of the Doraltic Navy. [Subsequently, Dormill and Stiura unofficially fully enters the war against the Neo-Imperialists as the Doraltic Navy begins convoy raiding operations against Doravo in support of an imminent Keomoran-Osean invasion.]
- 1944, January-March: Denis' government and Oscotia come to a secret agreement regarding the Oscotian plan to land forces in Roendavar to push back the Khas-Kiriat forces. In order to continue the impression that Dormill and Stiura is still supportive of the Neo-Imperialists goals, a mock invasion of Arvan is conducted to allow for the secret redeployment of Oscotian and Doraltic forces in preparation for the invasion.
- Simultaniously, Doraltic forces begin to muster near the Roendavarian border to provide the bulk of the liberation force.
- 1944, 17 March: The town of Veithan, on the Vastaros side of the Faris river, falls to Khas-Kiriat forces, Vastarosi Guard forces regroup in Aelceir.
- 1944, April 21: The city of Aelceir is captured by the Khas-Kiriat forces. The remaining Vastarosi Guard retreats to the state capital of Lantaroci and joins the defense of the city against a fast-advancing Khas-Kiriat tank force.
- 1944, May 4: R-Day, the Free Powers liberation of Roendavar, begins. Naval and air forces from Oscotia, Keomora, the Osean Empire, and eventually Dormill and Stiura, land forces in Lantaroci unopposed and immediately repulses the Khas-Kiriat force. Dormill and Stiura declare war against the Khas-Kiriat Empire at Noon that day.
- Before the end of 1944: [Free Powers naval and marine forces, including Lukas Monet Jr.'s fleet, cross the Southern Canal under enemy fire, they intend to assist Raleosi forces in the liberation of Serpens Land and Domanania.] The Doman-Magrati War ends in a Khas-Kiriat retreat. [Simultaneously, Khas-Kiriat forces retreat from Serpens Land as supply lines are completely broken in the North Mesder. Free Powers forces prepare for the liberation of Solaryia and invasion of Argus.] The Alteran Republics formally enters the war and deploys forces across the Western Isles in support of ongoing Free Powers operations.
- 1945: The fortunes between the Free Powers and the Neo-Imperialists in Argus reverses, the following events happen
- The Tsunterlands is invaded by a combined Jergian-Aizconan force which opens up a corridor to San Montagna.
- The Raelosi Free Powers invade the Argean coast of the Karali Sea, the combined navies of the Neo-Imperialists are broken during the Second Battle of the Karnali Sea from 11-12 August, paving the way for the Liberation of San Montagna and the invasion of Vendriothos [and the invasion of the Elsiczk Kingdom]
- The Battle of Dociara ends in Free Powers victory; Oscotian and Doraltic forces progressively and quickly push Khas-Kiriat forces out of Roendavar.
- 1946: Doraltic forces participate in the final battles of the war proper, including the fall of Vendriothos and the liberation of San Montagna.

Technically not yet, since some members are still holding out hope that he’ll come back, but sadly I don’t believe he will given that he didn’t reapply to join the map. For the Imperial War, I believe we’re going to be rewriting the whole thing, maybe even with a new thread.Hintuwan wrote:I'd like to flesh out Hintuwan's role in the Free Powers invasion of Athara Magarat.

Check above, given that AM is gone we’re rewriting the war, so you’ll likely have a lot of opportunities to have some new battles.
