Here's the PM I sent to a few people. Nowhere in it do I say that GS acted cowardly. What I did say was that the IDEA of RP leaving Bob compeltely and taking all of our units with us "stinks because it smells of shame and fear.
I did say I was not happy with GS'es decsion not to keep pressing foward against GoW because they are fearful of Lego AND the tactical mistake of moving all those knights out in the open so ND and GoW could wipe them out. It was simply a huge mistake on GS'es part that I was not to happy with. That said, I'm still glad they tried to help us though it really was them thinking that we would end up helping them more in the long run had we been successful. GS wants to win and we pledged to help them to that end. They did not help us out of pure pity; they wanted a viable partner to help them with things like research and such.
I'm sorry. First for not responding sooner, but I was fuming over GS'es decision not to go after GoW with Lego's threats notwithstanding. And for GS'es decison to withdraw those Knights that got masacared!
Secondly because I think the idea stinks because it smells of shame and fear.
I do not like it. I want to do everything we can to make the war as costly for GoW and ND as possible. Here's why: GoW is out to help Lego win, period. GoW will try to win it themselves; they know that they can't and have resigned themselves to help Lego as much as RP did towards GS. The only real chance we have is to try and sway ND towards our side. Otherwise, I want to hole up in Pamplona and make them have to bleed for it. Either that or abandon it and take our units and head North with them to do as mush pillaging as we can against GoW.

Arnelos,
I've been thinking long and hard about the current balance of forces on Bob, and in the world.
On Bob, the recent carnage has left RP in a far stronger position than they were a few turns ago, and have also left Lego in a commanding game position.
Now may be the time for all four nations in the Bobian war to make a final settlement.
I believe that RP could negotiate a deal with GoW and ND which grants peace and land rights to RP on Bob, plus a generous tech and luxury package to RP and GS in exchange for existing cities (including Pamp, Barca, New Madrid). RP palace moves to Miller Town where they have 5 cities on Estonia, plus a negotiable token city presence on Bob - to be decided amongst the Bobians. GS would have no part in those land negotiations. GS also assures GoW and ND that they will not intervene or land on Bob while ND and GoW go and take Lego down a peg or two. (destroying Bach and Sistine, for example)
I've posted the this thinking on our private forum for our team to consider - so this is just an idea and not our team position - but I think both teams should be thinking about this option. If GS and RP like it, we can push it at GoW and ND to see what they think. We have to move fast - I feel that the participants in this war should not be wasting a single shield on each other that they now should be saving for Lego.
Regards,
Cort Haus
