Beefspari Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 [quote name='memoryproblems' timestamp='1295380689' post='2581857'] Obviously there is a difference between 'necessary force' and 'excessive force'. [/quote] I don't see the point in making that distinction. There's no advantage to bringing less people other than a misguided sense of fairness. The point of war is to win. I don't thin for a minute that if the roles were exchanged and NpO had the upper hand, they'd intentionally withhold people just to give VE a fighting chance. Besides which, there IS a strategy reason for it. Destroying the enemy faster with more force so they don't cause as much damage in return. More firepower means fewer losses.

SyndicatedINC Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 [quote name='Beefspari' timestamp='1295380331' post='2581847'] Is there some unwritten rule somewhere that says that's what you're supposed to do? Is there a reason or an advantage to not planning on smashing your enemy other than ~honor~ or ~fairness?~ Like, you're supposed to plan to win, but only by so much? I really just don't get this line of thought. From my side it's more "Hey who wants to go with us?" and not "Oh man, we have twice their numbers, that'll be, like, so unfair! What will the OWF think?" [/quote] Yes there is another reason. That would be to keep things interesting, and encourage more fights in the future. Stagnation and boredom is of course the great enemy of Planet Bob, at least we hear everyone screaming and raging about it so often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] In counter to that point, this also gives anyone else looking to join a more opportunistic frame of reference, and more targets. The gantlet has been thrown who will answer the call?

[/quote] Well, to be honest, sometimes sending in [i]all[/i] the clowns at once can make a counter more likely, as it exposes more nations at one time. Limiting fronts means that you have more control over the targets and may make your opponent hesitant to make a move. It just depends on if there's enough opposition to handle the initial clown rush.

KainIIIC Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 This is just like a blast from the past!
