And if they do fight to the last man on each and every damn world I'll wind up drafting and getting tens of millions of my troops killed and at the end we'll wind up with jack shit to show for it. The planet is almost completely useless without a docile population on it. I've got a good dozen worlds I can colonize that will give me the same benefit without the cost of training twenty million troops then getting most of them killed eradicating a population determined to fight to the last man.

Wow, thats just BORING! Stop your crying already, I lost 220m troops against the RSE and you don't hear me wining about it.

Kiss my ass Deep. If I had 220 million troops to invade with do you think I'd have done any more than tell the Fed "Thanks but I got this?"

Oh, I didn't have 220m troops, that just how many I lost. I think by the end I had about 600m but I can't remember for sure.

Still, stop your bitching and get some boots on the ground already.

+ From what I can remember, 20 million wont be nearly enough. To match the army I have you're looking at from 50-70m. And a madman population can be just as dangerous.

True.....but not the entire population are combatants. Your get those who can't fight, those who can but are cowards, those who would but have no weapons or training, and FINALLY the civillian equivilent of a militia.

I seriously doubt a mother is going to put weapons in the hands of her hungry children, just so they can die as commanded rather than accept Cardassian rule. Governments only wish they had that kind of control over a populace.

Very true.

====================>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Just a reminder to everyone, sheets are due tomorrow. I have the Tholians, Breen, and Federation, (and the Jacorn obviously). I will need everyone elses sheet tomorrow as well as the final decision from the Cardassians.

My sheet's in and my decision is in the IC thread.

Okay, we can add Cardassian and Klingon to the list.

So Romulans and the Ferengi?

and Gorn

alright people.....we're doing a 3-month turn this time, and a 9 month turn next time. There are going to be some major changes forth-comming, the largest of which is two player swaps:

Codan will be taking the Jacorn Alliance Over from me.

Reliant will be taking the Klingon Empire over from Codan

the Breen will be a mix PC/NPC race for now.

And all sheets are back out. Some of you didn't recieve new sheets, if your confused as to why you didn't shoot me a PM.
