Besides fighting honorably? No, I suppose not.
I doubt Rostov is going to concentrate it's troops so much that they lose more than they gain each turn in reinforcements, though. Especially now that they know you're considering it.

Also consider that, although we have the edge in attrition, we have a limited number of soldiers we can field at any one time, due to Manpower. Rostov can turtle and amass literally hundreds of thousands of soldiers... not to mention the personalities they get with every major army.


Might I suggest everyone turtling in Recz attack Drawno before that army gets any bigger? Divide and conquer is basic strategy, and if you let the enemy concentrate his forces much more... you guys have 6399 troops there, which with a Command is just enough.

Yeah. Which is why wearing them down is a good idea. It doesn't matter how much the concentrate their forces, really. Sending 101 soldiers under a personality to five different provinces with 1000 each in them will do the same as sending 501 soldiers under a personality to one with 5000 in it. Is it less efficient in terms of personality usage and manpower? Yes. But it has the same effect.

Well teh Civilian Government could do the POlitical Actions which the Rostovians cant...but dont have any military actions.

Well teh Civilian Government could do the POlitical Actions which the Rostovians cant...but dont have any military actions.

I assume you mean "make the civilian goverment do the political/meet with other countires actions that the rostavians can't.". We have personalities like for example the lord phantom who can do that while telling troops to build up/attack provinces. Simply put we're working together indirectly to win but we don't individually {or all of us really} have the ability to win. We would need a miracle. An i hope we can do this again in the future now that ive gotten a hold on it.

Knavikov walked down the streets of Kramsk on a sunny afternoon. It had felt like ages since he had been able to actually enjoy a stroll in the comfort of sunlight. But his party's efforts had made a strong impression on the people of this province and now many were not afraid of the Rostovian officials who had once governed here. To say life was back to normal would be a stretch of the word though. As his party members travelled the countryside, working to reestablish  services and government. Elsewhere, the Red Caps ranks were swelling and his vanguard were recruiting new members and soldiers for the People's Brigade.

He wished he could stay longer to help establish a stronger hold, but he would have to leave that to other members of his party. His party's ideology was not similar to most interest groups working to liberate the country and if he did not operate quickly he would be on the outside looking in when the time to form a new government came.

Name: Lód
Colour: Light Blue
Stance: (-2,3)

Clair Glass - Trying to enter Bytów.
Trait: Diplomat

Spoiler: New Monarchist Guard (click to show/hide)

Name: New Monarchist Guard (Blue Guards)
Colour: Dark Blue
Stance: (+2, -1)
Money: $2,000
History: The New Monarchist Guard is a split-off from the now-defunct Monarchist Guard, which supported a return to the old line of Witkovian rulers. The New Guard, however, have made the decision to support rival claimants from the Atessan imperial dynasty to the throne based on ancient royal marriages. They support a strong, conservative monarchy but reject outright autocracy, envisioning a king with an advisory body of wealthy landowning men, a reformed Weic, to ensure the interests of the upper classes are heard. The Guard appeals to tradition, reaching out to both the peasants and rural population, and aristocrats.

Konstantyn Wojewodzki-Araya - Commanding troops in Janowo.
Trait: Oppressive
Description: The de facto leader of the Guard is Konstantyn Wojewodzki-Araya, the son of a prestigious Witkovian noble line living in exile in Atessa. His relentless drive for power has led him this far, and there are few in the movement who would cross him. Konstantyn's ruthlessness and explosive temper have not earned him many friends, but to him it is certainly better to be feared than loved.

Spoiler: Witkovian Free People's Party (click to show/hide)

Name: Witkovian Free People's Party (WFPP)
Colour: Red
Stance: (-3, 0)
Money: $1,120
History: The ideas of communism are still fairly new to Witkovia, but oppression breeds reactionary responses, and interest in the party's ideology has been growing steadily over the last 10 to 20 years. Once seen as a fringe element composed of questionable individuals is more and more being taken seriously as a group who are willing to help the lower class cast off their shackles from the Rostov masters.
Political Position: Staunchly on the left side of the political spectrum, Knavikov and the FPP look to create an equal Witkovia for all the people. Popular with the lower classes for their stances on land reform and worker's rights. Many middle and upper class citizens dismiss their ideology as nothing but 'populist daydreams'. The FPP see themselves as a vanguard that will help educate and free the masses of Witkovia through a revolution.

Rurik Knavikov - Being hated in Janowo.
Trait: Revolutionary
Description: Knavikov is an idealist and a fiery orator. Growing up to a poor-rural family, he worked diligently to afford to be schooled abroad in. Avallon. He returned home and began touring the countryside speaking on the importance of a government created collectively by the people.

History: The initial roots of the LDW was found approximately two years after the defeat of the coalition against the republic of Avallon. Several expatriates living within the nation during the revolution, and after it. Cobbling up whatever support they could scrounge up, the founding members of the LDW started to draft up several documents chartering the organization's goals and views, a full intent on a free Witkovia with an elected government.

Political Position: The Liga Demokratyczna Witkowii is a primarily moderate organization, though more urban and liberal leanings are displayed by the organization's members. Their primary goal is the establishment of a republic not unlike Avallon's current government.

History: ROR is the recent successor to the Witkovian Business League, which in turn was a group of various industrialists - mostly the sons and daughters of the old Witkovian nobility; who well realize that the reforms which were meant to save it from the Rostovians came too late and were not remotely widespread enough. Proto-technocrats in disguise, they've chosen one of their members to bear the name of the rebellion as his own, claiming to be socialists to further their goals.

As per standard forum game operating procedures, let me know if I made a mistake or misunderstood your actions. For some reason I always feel like I missed someone completely when I do this turns.

Also, I forgot that the Military Order expired last turn, so a new one should have been issued. But Ghazkull seems to assume that Consolidation is still in effect so... I'll just assume that he reissued it unless told otherwise.

EDIT: Where the hell did this run off to?

[Ghazkull]

The First Rostovian Infantry Division (12.400) will move from Drawno(7) to  Recz(6) and annihilate all armies stationed there
Rallied Survivors in Miedza(23) move to Glogow(3)
Fresh Recruits(4000) from Liuban(4) move into Gora(36)
Troops in Pryzyce(16) Assault Enemies in Wolbrom(13)
Four Thousand Fresh Recruits are brought in via Train.
New Command: Consolidation Orders are to be kept.

Stefan continues to persuade in Bystra (14).
All troops in Bystra (14) march on into Pila (1) to liberate it from the Rostovians.

[Rolepgeek]

Hire 1000 troops in Jastkow.
Henner Campfeld will persuade in Plazow once the troops there have reduced the Control to 0(I can do that, right?)

All right. Guys. The Second Rostovian Army is coming next turn. And if it arrives and we aren't organized, we will be fucked. We need to make a government, and I would appreciate if you would help me get four provinces so I can get an Aggressive Personality to lead our troops against the combined Rostovian. If any one organization decides to be a dick and not agree to the government, the Aggressive personality can fill in, preferably as Chief of War/Security so he can get that much more morale bonus.
I say me, mostly because I'm the only one close to getting a second personality.

Personalities always act before armies, so I'm afraid you can't do that, Rolepgeek.

Also, the Second Witkovian Army will arrive in Liuban on turn 7. The revolution started on turn 2 after all. Though, yeah, forming a government would be a smart idea. So, If you're joining a government, say so in bold. Just makes my life a bit easier.
