No seriously, every time Kusari tries to move our non-regular forces into Bretonia this is what we get, which is fairly surprising when considering where the QCP's operations were focused in Kusari. I think its perfectly fine for Hogosha to go to Bretonia.
That said, I would much rather see them fighting the Junkers in Sigma 13 at the moment, but thats neither here nor there.
To sum up, Kusari owns Leeds, our ships will be there, be they KNF, Hogosha, KPT or AFA
I think it makes about as much sense as if an American citizen (and not soldier) had bought a gun and flew to Europe to shoot Germans in WWII.
This is a war. One fought by hardened, trained, and disciplined soldiers. The QCP are an unofficially sanctioned force meant to disrupt enemy supply lines. They do not fight on the front lines, and many of them are ex-soldiers.
The Hogosha are black marketeers, smugglers, and occasional pirate. They are not soldiers, and in no circumstances should they be fighting on the front lines of an inter-house war. If the Hogosha want to contribute, they'd contribute in the form of smuggling and piracy of transports behind enemy lines. They would not go toe-to-toe with the house military. If you think of this from a roleplay perspective, instead of a "what can I do in-game" perspective, the BAF, though outnumbered and lacking in modern armaments (many of theirs were older than the Kusari Navy's), are still able to hold off the Kusari Naval Forces from taking Leeds through tactics and piloting ability. The Hogosha, a civilian black marketeering organization, would not have equipment equal to a house military, would not have the pilot training equal to a house military, would not have numbers equal to a house military, would not have tactical decision making at the level of a house military front-line general, would not have the supply lines of a house military, and would not have the capital ship support of a house military. In short, the Hogosha would get massacred if they took part in front-line battles, not to mention the Kusari Government wouldn't sanction civilian interference in a warzone unless they were completely inept. Think about the U.S. in Iraq. Do they want civilians with guns roaming all over Iraq shooting up "terrorists" in the middle of warzones? Hell no. One guy even tried that and got arrested.
Civilians, even pirates, should not be fighting on the front lines. If the Hogosha players want to have something to do in Bretonia, great, they can. But they can do that in the form of hitting transports, hitting lone military vessels in areas away from the front lines (Dublin, New London, Edinburgh, etc), smuggling supplies to enemies of Bretonia (Gaians, Corsairs), etc. What they should NOT be doing is fighting the BAF in Leeds. This obviously goes for the Farmer's Alliance too.
Also a moderator warning. I don't want to see any more trolling in this thread.
