I believe I should offer to the LDI these lessons from real history.
First he French invasion of Russia in 1812 was a turning point in the Napoleonic Wars. The campaign reduced the French and allied invasion forces to a tiny fraction of their initial strength. The big mistake of Napoleon's invasion was that he tought that he was invincible and he went to war with Russia in the wrong time of the year. I will let you all read about it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_invasion_of_Russia Second lesson - Adolf Hitler refused to learn from Napoleon's failed invasion, and he tried to pull off the same stunt. Both of these heads of state ended up with failure. I will let you all read about it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Patriotic_War Some may ask how does this possible have anything to do with the current simcountry battles. So I will show you.
Allied Forces tried to invade the United Confederation in the Winter of 2007. They faied and were beaten up almost as bad as Napoleon. Now the LDI is trying to invade against players who are members of the United Confederation. Again winter is approaching and once again histroy will be repeated with LDI suffering a worse defeat than Allied Forces. Just as Adolf Hitler refused to learn from Napoleon's failed invasion by trying to pull off the same stunt. Even so has LDI refused to learn from Allied Forces failed invasion, and they have tried to pull off the same stunt. LDI shall have a worse defeat handed to them than the Allied Forces received. Oh yes LDI shall meet a fate even much, much worse than Adolf Hitler's or Napoleon's.
Nute Gunray the Viceroy
You'll take my life but I'll take yours too
You'll fire you musket but I'll run you through
So when your waiting for the next attack
Youd better stand theres no turning back
The bugle sounds as the charge begins
But on this battlefield no one wins
The smell of arcrid smoke and horses breath
As you plunge into a certain death
The horse he sweats with fear we break to run
The mighty roar of the Russian guns
And as we race towards the human wall
The screams of pain as my comrades fall
We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
And the Russians fire another round
We get so near yet so far away
We won't live to fight another day
We get so close near enough to fight
When a Russian get's me in his sights
He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow
A burst of rounds take my horse below
And as I lay there gazing at the sky
My bodys numb and my throat is dry
And as I lay forgotten and alone
Without a tear I draw my parting groan
Seemed like a fitting set of verses for this present war. Take heed LDI and any who would dare to engage United Confederation members. We always live to fight another day. Always.
