Nah man, just burst all Sirius in a all war sector of the galaxy, and in the next update, bring the Nomads to mop the floor with the tired and exhausted fleets bringing dead, suffering and missery to all humans ! Or just add another powerhouse who invades Sirius from another side >:
Well then on a more serious note, Rheinland will likely not make a move against Gallia. ALG already frequents Gallia from what I know, they are now also forcing Liberty to take pressure off of Rheinland, since Rheinland is mostly playing a defensive war. Rheinland is also indirectly getting money from Gallia, as Kusari has opened up trade with the house almost completely, so money is flowing into Kusari, and Kusari is throwing that money at Rheinland, hiring them to build them ships and pay them massive amounts of relief money in return for the Munic disaster.
So Gallia making Rheinland have more money and making Liberty attack them less? Yeah.
Also maybe Gallia should get on the phone with the Corsairs and coordinate attacks with them, I mean, the Corsairs attack Cambridge all the time and some coordination can grind down the BAF even more. Gallia also can hire Gaians as pirate mercenaries, at least the less politically motivated ones.
Also, Gallia and Mollys have a NAP. So what you outlined Makc is already, in a sense, in place. We have Dublin/Londonderry, which Gallia respects/aren't touching. We bring them gold inRP as well per our agreement, which gives Mollys special privileges (essentially the restricted goods permit) within Gallia as it stands at the moment.
As we are fighting Bretonia anyway, Gallia lets us be since we already are waging our own war with them, thus helping Gallia weaken Bretonia.
Granted, who knows what the future brings, but this is what is going on at present.
Bretonia has too many bad guys wanting a pice of it right now. In the next major update either Bretonia dies to the hand of the many enemies or some all powerfull god comes down to save the queen. I say move Rheinland further in Omegas to chase the Hessians, that would make 'sairs to move their big ships along their borders in case of some crazy military ideeas and would give Bretonia some breathing space. Adding more allies to Gallia doesn't feel right. They already have 2 houses out of the game. That leaves a fast loosing house and one that moves to secure its borders more than helping Bretonia in liberating Leeds.

I actually wasn't aware that the [LN], =LSF=, or any official lawful faction within Liberty were working with The RM, The SCRA, or The Outcasts, that's news to me, and I lead the [LN]....pretty sure it's not accurate? Or at least not in the way it's been presented here. Those groups are certainly not all allied with one another simply because they fight the same enemy so uhm..yeee.

You're right. The official groups, apart from one [LN] snub, have not allied with the SCRA, OC. And certainly not with the RM. The massive gankfleet which had all of these factions yesterday was mostly composed of indies. I know it, I was there as a Punisher. However, the strange thing was that the SCRA only attacked the Gallics, and simply chatted with the Liberty indies. This just looks a little weird. CR was there too, same as BAF. No Zoners, just IMG. All of them against the Gallics. So, if we could get a few extra allies like RM or something, that would be nice, as yesterday we were 2 GBs and about 7 snubs against 2 BSs, 2 GBs, and about a dozen snubs. It made it hard to survive
What kind of fun would disco be without a big bad faction to hate on. And if you combined those factions together why would anybody play Gallia if they knew they were gonna be massively outnumbered. Everyone knows it is a foregone conclusion that Gallia will be eventually pushed back in the end. Enjoy the war while it lasts!

It seems you are missing some important changes in .87.
- All bretonian fleets from Leeds have been successfully evacuated to the other systems with minor casualties while there is only one big loss - Derby. The rest of its fleet is now in York, New London, repairing.
- Gaians are "gone" and their numbers in RP is insignificant in order to do a huge act against New London.
- Bretonia is fighting in Leeds and other systems around ONLY with guerilla units - from fighter to gunboat or destroyer - doing hit and run attacks with expectations of minor casualties.
- Most bretonian fleets are now restoring their numbers for the "last battle"if such ever happens. In short - brave people from whole Bretonia are now going to take their startracker, fight and die, if necessary.
- The moral boost is tremendously huge overall cuz the captail can be assaulted and must be protected.
- New London contains 50% of the BAF forces, others are scattered in newcastle.
- After the loss of Leeds, Cambridge is been protected even further cuz loosing it may be equal to lose new london.
- In last place - GRN are not going to fight bretonia (we dont know that in RP but soon we shall, which will only make us stronger)
Considering all this you possibly see my point - If corsairs ever dare to strike cambridge with huge force....they will witness entire Norfolk fleet, reinforced by Suffolk, York and ArkRoyal wings plus most of the 20k civilian bombers around southampton +/- 10k standart BAF personell from New Lodon.
Numbers may sound crazy(they are taken from .86 lore) but Bretonia is like a wounded lion right now, do you really think corsaris grasping its tail be wise? Brets have nothing else to lose right now.
PS: Why are RM in the title? LN-BAF are in alliance, BAF are in alliance with council and friendly(from hostile) to CR. Zoners? They are out of the image...BAF/LN/C/ - alliance forces vs GRN, the alliance is supported by CR. Thats the official stance, as for RM/Zoner...ingame scenarios with such indies =/= lore RP...so...
