How agressively should we pursue an offensive war against the Iroquois?

Falcon02 · Jul 11, 2002

By Agressiveness I mean, offensive till acceptable peace or offensive till we meet set goals.

This is in conjunction with a poll to see if we purue this war offensively at all.

If the Results of this poll are
"Yes" we will agressively prusue an offensive and we will lay down goals to meet in the war, such as cities to take, lines to draw etc. later.

if "No" we will prusue an offensive only until the Iroqouis offer an acceptable peace ("peace for peace" or "peace for profit"), regardless of what strategic cities we may or may not take when the war is over.

This poll means nothing if "offensive" poll results in a defensive stradegy.

This poll is set to close in 4 days, and the results at the begaining of the next turn chat will be the official results.

Um, it's not a yes/no question, is it??
Like:
Question - 'how agressive should we be?'
Answer - 'Yes'
it makes no sence (to me)
please explain more clearly so those of us not well versed in current millitary strategy will understand

Yes - means full on war until we meet our objectives (which will be defined next). We will ignore Hiawatha's attempts at peace.

No - means full on war until Hiawatha proposes an acceptable peace deal to us. We then accept and declare peace.

Both of these are contingent on the other poll getting an aggressive response instead of a defensive response.

That's exactly what I meant Cyc, thanks... I tried my best to explain in the first post.

I'm not sure what we would really gain from this war. The SS is ours! I fear a prolonged campaign may induce civil disorder and a reduction in science spending. I voted "no".

I have to agree with chiefpaco. ANY prolonged campaign would definetly set us back. It woud definetly require an eventual change in government, voluntary or not. Also, one must never underestimate the enemy. Our defenses may hold up to two of their rifleman, but would be overrun if they sent the bulk of those riflemen our way.

What is the Iroquois' Military Strength. We can capture a couple of cities untill the Iroquois beg for peace that we see fit. But proceed with care, Falcon02.

:tank: :soldier:

The Military Strength of the Iroqouis can be found in the Military Dept. thread (linked below).

We have been trying to appease Hiawatha for centuries and he repays us by sacking PDX. Aggressive is too mild a word. I like crusade better.

Myartar · Jul 13, 2002

I voted yes b/c I don't beleive we should just return to peace with retribution. How will the world look upon us if we don't show we will reply with force to aggression. However, I believe the taking of a few(4-5) cities will suffice, the total destruction of the Iroquois nation is not needed, and can actually be dangerous to national morale due to the long campaign required.

I want a full-scale war with the iroqiuos:
I want to see salamanca conquered
I want to see their capital conquered
i want to see 8-9 cities conquered.
THEN sue peace.

Falcon02 · Jul 13, 2002

I see advantages in taking Salamanca, specifically the Leo's. Leonardo's Workshop will help with the full scale Mech, Modern Tank, and Radar Art. upgrades.

I think at the very least we should go for Tonawanda, and narrow the border, however, then it's only one more city to the Leo's.

I will be posting an informational poll about HOW agressive we should be

Falcon02 · Jul 15, 2002

This poll is closed and we will fight an agressive war against the Iroquois.
