What is our current diplomatic status?

What i understand were at peace with Kurita?

Are we at War with Steiner? or is it only the Forums?

War with Whelps and Teddys ofc..

[Lord Ikka]

The DCMS is standing by the ceasefire- we haven't even taken back Setubal like we discussed due to the Clan/FedCom aggression.

[Abivard]

The FRR/DCMS ceasefire stands firm!

That is the only cease fire the FRR recognizes at this time. We are under heavy attack on ALL fronts EXCEPT the front with the DCMS.

Yes, Steiner is attacking us and has a ceasefire with clan wolf.

You're not getting Setubal back.

[Tarogato]

I, for one, would not be opposed to House Kurita taking back Setubal as penance for the early damage done by [CI]. What happened in the first days of the invasion cannot be helped.

I, for one, still have no intention of assaulting Steiner worlds. Unless Orestes falls.

Judging from what I've read concerning CW it seems that the Steiner's weaker timezone for active skilled groups (not counting merc corps) is the North American timezone. Perhaps that's something to consider when focusing on where to place your next large offensive. If Steiner were smart they'd find out which timezone CJF is least active and exploit that lull to launch a counter offensive (not to mention agree to a NAP with the FRR and Dracs). Honestly, if they did this they'd be able to use their vast numerical superiority against CJF and even Wolf (considering that Wolf is busy fighting FRR) to widdle down and slowly regain lost territory.

Clan Wolf has a large player base but many of them seem to be on the lower end of the elo bracket. Wolf should be the obvious choice to attack concerning the clans.

The Bears are still made up of many competitive/skilled merc star units so defense seems to be the likely strategy for now concerning them (unless you've found a Timezone to exploit).

There isn't much activity against the Dracs except for a few pug groups here and there. The NAP is holding.

This would be a good idea. You sir, are too logical.

we have lost more planets to steiner than wolf, so I say we concentrate on them. it will allow some breathing room

[Damon Howe]

We've lost a grand total of 1 planet to Steiner.

lol, that's it?

[Klappspaten]

yeah, and we havent really lost much against the wolves too. They like to sound strong, but they need that ceasefire to be able to take us on. And even that wouldn´t be enough if the bears wouldn´t attack us at the same time.

Then perhaps the major offensives should be aimed at the Wolves and Steiners since they're the weakest of the three.

[Klappspaten]

And perhaps we should not discuss that here where they can read what you write and use the allthing for such an discussion. Dont you think?

I say that we have serious problems with attack window anyways. And we are pretty much considered the "easy" target for all other factions.

I don't know what the status is during later stages of the attack window and is SoR only unit fighting?

Damn depressing to see all effort gone to waste in the mornings... So either we start attacking Kurita and gain some ground or just quit all focus until attack window is fixed.

[Bront]

Most Steiner Units I know decided to not attack FFR, but voted down the cease fire to not create the blue donut. We had to attack due to one FFR unit attacking our boarders, but once it became a lost cause, they stopped (IE, they couldn't just take the planet unopposed). For what it's worth, they were skilled.

Honestly, we need to push the clans down to a point where they are too busy on too many fronts, and possibly want to sue for peace (we just need 1 or 2 of them to do so), then we can overwhelm the bears with too many drops for them to throw defenders at, and take their planets in a steamroll.

I also want Steiner to form a Ceasefire with the FRR. I want all IS factions to have a cease fire /Non-Aggression Pact with the FRR, and start defending the border planets. Do that long enough, and even the pugs will be joining in on the defense, allowing us to focus the big units on offense, and roll the clans.

I fear that won´t happen. I don´t see any pact between the FRR and Steiner in the near future.

Why bite the only people willing to work with you? That seems like a short-sighted decision that'll open more fronts and spread your playerbase thinner than it needs to be. As a Kuritan, I can attest that multiple fronts tends to be a little exhausting and the less you have, the easier you can coordinate your faction.

So you really want to open up another front? That doesn´t strike me as a particular smart thing to do.

That would probably be wise. You won't find me there anymore however, I'm a Merc now - and I'm not a ranking officer.
