You are at war with AN, what is your strategy to defeat them

[Bruhssians]

Your at war with AN for some unknown reason, what will be your strategy to defeat, or atleast survive? If you are a pacifist and won't fight back, rest in pieces I guess

[Delatia]

probably die

[Pale Dawn]

BN: That would certainly be a fun RP someday.






This is right and natural for us. They maintain conscription but hold a small population and will not have confronted total war in the recent history. We would strike from multiple bases from three directions. These first incursions would be light and probing while supported with heavy air support. Once the strongest elements of their military are identified we would establish enough forces to occupy them while another arm drove deep into the country. If they tried to defend the entire border we would mass along a favorable axis and overwhelm the local defenders. For such a small nation we doubt chemical or radiological weapons would be needed.

[Alliance of Southeast Asian Nations]

A war of faiths amongst the stars.

AISEAN and Pale Dawn already have tense relations with each other, so a war occuring is certainly within the realm of possibility. So even in the leadup, there would be attempts from both sides to undermine each other. For example, our spies will try convincing their populace to abandon all forms of AI- including the limited AI programmes- and drones their military uses. The spies will call it hypocritical and heretical to make use of such programmes even if they are 'limited', and that it is a slippery slope towards actual autonomous AI. Furthermore, it is also crucial for us to know their fleet positions.

We seem to be equal on naval capabilities, but they seem to have a better ground army. Their Alban Class Battle Station (kinda sound like Megacarriers) might pose the largest threat to us and their best advantage in the navy, but if we could take one of them down, it would deal significant blows to their fleet. If we succeed in retrieving the previously mentioned intel, it will allow us to determine their location and movements, and an ambush would be set; we will be waiting for them like tigers in the jungle. Best circumstances is in which two cruisers are preoccupied with towing the Battle Station, and we attack it from both sides and give it all we got.

The war would most likely be started by them, and initially it will be a defensive war for AISEAN. They would be off to a great start, taking smaller, insignificant territory from us which have minimal defenses at best. When they arrive at a major colony of ours, then we will be fully prepared to fight back with our mobilised fleets. These major colonies usually have Singapura ODS in orbit too, which will make it very hard for their Carpian Euphemia Class Cruisers to conduct planetary invasions. After holding back this offensive, Pale Dawn will most likely bring in one of their Battle Stations to secure their conquered systems and use it as a FOB to penetrate deeper into AISEAN territory. It is then that we lay the trap and ambush them during this crucial part of the war. A counter-offensive will be started, not with the intention of conquering their systems but to end the war by making it as costly as possible for Pale Dawn to wage war.

[Sheizou]

Make sure they attack first, If we force them to come to us, we will inevitably gain the upper hand. However, due to their superior tech and manpower, we would need to send many to infiltrate them. If this doesn't work, we will lure them into sheizou, and wait, because most mortals don't last very long in the underworlds realm.

But, as they aren't to be underestimated, we shall employ a last resort tactic of destroying the realm that sheizou inhabits, wiping everything in it from existance. But this measure is to be avoided at all costs, as it is not favorable for anyone.

[The Merry-Men]

Well, first of all, this could very well be solved diplomatically, to an extent... they might just be able to bribe her with meth or promises of support to go away, but if they're truly desperate, that's where things get weird.

Some who have the image of Sheizou being a land of ghosts will probably act like idiots and do superstitious things, such as constantly placing circles of salt around themselves, or showing crosses at everything that is ethereal to them. (The crosses obviously don't do anything, but who knows.) Then when they come up against demons, as well as immortal warriors who can just die and then come back slightly more frustrated the next Wednesday...

Though we would have a similar strategy to them; hide out still in Merryland like we always have, and have them wander in there and inevitably fall into a trap... if some wandering soul that went in our general direction hasn't already set them off. Merrymen are crazy, and they are highly unpredictable, resillient, sadistic and frightening to face especially in close combat, but supernatural enemies might surprise them until a couple months in when they know what they're doing, and look to the superstitions then to try and combat spiritual forces. Congratulations, we now have become a goat-sacrificing occult group because of you.

[Reich of the New World Order]

Their planet would be flooded with drugs produced in Archona. The drugs would be laced with a bio-weapon that transforms the user into large beasts that only know how to kill. The Merry men being obsessed with drugs would try the product and immediately turn into grotesque monsters that would run rampant on their world, causing havoc and slaughtering everyone. On death the beasts would explode releasing more of the bioweapon. Pandemonium would befall their planet, Archona would then invade on the basis of restoring order and dealing with the Merry men. Archona would never leave the planet of course, restoring order takes time.

[Zanderlock]

Pray for an act of God at this point.

[Lloeyd]

“Hand me my tea weapon”

[Righteousistan]

We'd be parading through Ziloros within a few weeks.

[Continentis Septentrionalis]

Chemical and biological weapons. Lets see how well their God will protect them.

[Lollipop Torture Force]

We touch those who practice the sermons. We twist them and will them into the unknowing. Some may follow the altered teachings but most will pull away from the faith that was once the nations pillar. Then we go from random to random and Tony shows them things until they change. And when they change they learn to flow and as they flow their peers will flow with them or pull away. When those that can do pull away trust will be splintered and confidence shaken. As no economy functions without trust, without belief in the value of things and money people will become desperate and will begin to climb over another in the insuring confusion. Then we would have put the Land of the Righteous on the path of consuming their own. For when the untrusting begins those atop the smoldering pile of corruption will look down at the rest and send their police and their warriors to quell the confusion. But when those who are led dare to strike against the machine of order the machine will clamp down but it will be as if you hold a banana. Grip too hard and it will go everywhere and so we will. For it is now that we let the many of the tilt play in the garden of the righteous and amongst the streets and the homes we run rampant with no thought to a point but to be the being of the bye until the machine sees its cogs fall away to protect their own. For when they lose belief in the machine the machine falls and all become hungry to consume another and trust dies in the wreckage of the machine and at last we touch many so that they all may know the current.


I was the ninja'd editing

For here be the answer is the Alexander. Too much of atop is his empire and so we have only touch him. As Tony holds him within the dreams he shows Alexander all that he feels. A second feels as a decade and when Alexander wakes he will see fanatics in everyone he meets. He will order purges aplenty and tear from his teat any stability that once existed. The machine of militancy will wash over the populace under his direction to no point than that to end the endless stream of fanatics. When at last those near him see him for the corruption he will become and end his line we will come again once and around. We go random to random and we sow the seeds of fear within before those who fell rise as flesh puppets to us the shadows of the soul and tear asunder the people of the one and when all is disorder we will see that all those who touch the top of the machine fall to many petty hurts until there is nothing atop and all swirls below.

[Sky Reavers]

As we got no protocol on dealing with this sort of anomalies, we will have to improvise like alot and extensively mox booze, weed and other things like occassional shroom or LSD, combined with battle cries, partying and ideological propaganda to deal with their effects on our minds. Slay aggressive and dangerous creatures and try to contain the rest. Either way, this is gonna challenge our crisis management ability to it's full.

[The Apostles Fields]

While we could just surround their planet and shoot lighting at it, exterminating qll life above ground that's no fun. So how about we have said fun, first teleport in the anarchist' training camps, and start recking havoc there maybe even spare a few. Then slowly destroy whatever is building their weapons, and finally destroy the weapons themselves. After fully disarmed torture them for a bit until finally ending it all by killing them all. Steve might try to help their military, but sadly steve is only one apostle against, a whole lot of zeros.

(Look Man i could've just typed swarm Atleast i try to have some fun in my posts)

[Independent Republic of Boldonia]

Avoid deploying anything on the ground while using the entire might of the air force. Form what is essentially death squads to keep the skies clear of any flying creatures while protecting any attack aircraft to allow them to deploy their payload on anything that needs more than a 20mm or an AMRAAM. Due to this not being a human or modern nation we could probably get authorization to exploit the multiversal rift (which we don't normally do due to its side effects on unprotected humans) and essentially allow the air force to teleport.

[Independent Republic of Boldonia]

[Alitrus]

Create a wall of at least 66,000 ships and begin to just fire off simultaneously fire using Craminum based rounds, which can last for 8 months, and continue firing until they are rendered 'gone'

[Riley Gen]

Lots and lots of strobe lights

[Alliance of Southeast Asian Nations]

Easy. It appears that Riley Gen were unyielding rivals with 'Lord Testiculus III' and were on the brink of total war to decimate each other on religious beliefs. Right now, they have made amends, and Riley Gen was bestowed a great statue by their former rival. We will send spies to instigate animosity between the two powers, and make them mortal enemies once again. Then, our spies will blow up that statue in Riley Gen's capital city, and soon enough the fingers will be pointed towards Lord Testiculus III. War starts and we covertly support the fight against Riley Gen.

That way, we 'win' this 'war' without a single ASC soldier having to set foot there, or have one of our starshups conduct operations from orbit.

[Remulia]

We should attack strategic points in coordination, while we use our AIs to weak their defences. Next, we'll infiltrate some special units to eliminate their High Command.

[Osmauri]

Marainta: Just don't get in a war to begin with.
If it wasn't our choice, try to keep them from bombing major metros, factories and bases. That's all we could really do.

Auroris: Sabotage their planet-destroying machines and infiltrate their higher command. No pitched confrontation will be needed unless they counterattack. Wear down their space-borne forces and divert them to battles far from their main worlds, clearing the way for a quick strike on said worlds to blockade them. Without those planets, they'll have to at least sign a ceasefire.

[Pale Dawn]

BN: Nice drums. I liked them. I assume you are using NS stats to just overrun us. But nice drums.

Marainta MT to PMT: Just don't get in a war to begin with. We do not have the naval capacity to contend with them at present. If it was not our choice we would have to play defensibly on the world stage. Draw them into colonial wars in iceland or africa. Stretch their supply lines and utilize a fighting retreat in as many locations as possible while maintaining diplomatic calls for a ceasefire so that they are clearly depicted as the war monger while we make it as unsavory a prospect as possible to continue (short of the WMD option). A nation such as this should not be approached head on and we would much rather have been working peacefully to instill Carpian Values to fracture their populations loyalties. Even if the groups remain fringe elements it might be enough to erode safety at home eventually. As with any monarchy our sights should be on assassination but there is no guarantee of success.

: Reason I reserved this was a chance to depict responses at different tech levels but the fact you don't link to the factbooks for Auroris is painful. I'm looking and I see a region...but no factbooks there on the space nation. Will edit this when I find the factbook. But please link in signature.-Plenty of threats about using NS stats but not finding the dispatch for Auroris for me to use.-I am either missing something really obvious or was sent on a wild goose chase. Way to make it painful for people that care about factbooks.

Seriously this post is the most I could find on it https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?p=40451130#p40451130 For someone to have an entire dispatch on threats if you don't use factbooks, to post as if this Auroris nation/world can interact with others and then hide anything of value regarding it is really a poor show of sportsmanship.

[Rio Cana]

If we neighbored them and had to go to war with them then we would try to demoralize them before overrunning them.

The following demoralizing part of the plan would have them running has 100's of military war drums, followed by the main fighting force, got louder the closer to the border.

[The Holy Dragon Imperium]

Move an Imperial fleet above the planet and target all military bases and bunkers not too close to civilian targets for orbital bombardment. After vaporizing said targets we will offer terms. If said terms are rejected we will move onto phase two of the invasion. The Imperial Armored Corps will be landed and tasked with preforming breakthroughs and encirclements of surviving military resistance while the sappers follow behind them to make sure any ground we take won't go go back to Rio Cana's forces. The main objective would be the capital of Rio Cana and major military bases that were too close to cities to have been destroyed in the orbital bombardment.

[Sky Reavers]

Our primary strategy would be to avoid war with them altogether and instead defeat them by making them our friends. But if there is no other choice, we gonna try to infiltrate their empire, pretending to be the religious follks and try to steal whatever we can. For psionics, we will try to get both drink and high plus add some agaric, so thus our minds will become too chaotic for their telepaths to read. We still can operate even in altered state of mind, since we are used to this. It's still gonna be a battle we gonna lose.
