Thanks, good outcome.
@Thunderer the whole ally with/can’t ally with is so arbitrary and already covered by other ID lines that I dare say people don’t take it seriously anymore. Why should you stop the RP or not join a logical fight just because of a line that makes no sense? I assume the only reason they’re still not gone from the game is because it’s too big of a hassle to remove them.
One time I was sanctioned for allying with a Molly against a Corsair, as BAF (the Mollies are allowed to ally with the BAF, but BAF aren't with the Mollies), so I tend to take these ID lines a bit more seriously than others. I doubt it's hard to edit them, by the way.
Hmm, a draw. Taken in isolation, it's an acceptable outcome but...
Bretonia vs Kusari - draw, Kusari got rolled by Gallia and Bretonia then faced an offensive which ground to a halt in Leeds.
Liberty vs Rheinland - draw, somehow.
Rheinland vs Kusari/GMG - I dont see this going anywhere.
now Gallia vs Bretonia/Liberty - first event is a draw, and I can see this whole affair (which has been deadlocked for over 5 years) ending in some Deus Ex Machina Nomads/Aliens/The Sith take over everything behind the scenes scenario.
Is anyone actually going to win anything or will we have to wait for another decade for a serious change of the status quo?
Regardless of the above though, I'll probably be back for the next events if I have eligible characters available. I had a lot of fun in this event, probably because it was about as close to a turkey shoot as is going to happen, given how few people bother to seriously train. Actually I was quite surprised that the three best pilots on the GRN/Corsair side didn't bring VHFs and make it their mission to single out the biggest threats on the BAF/LN side and neutralise them. Even with the firepower reduction that entails, I think that would've resulted in a GRN/Corsair win since fewer bombers would've died and spent time respawning and flying back to the fight.

Food for thought.
You got this part right at least, and I don't mean a few debris fields and battleship wrecks. Genuinely don't be surprised if colors on the map have changed when all is said and done.
