Legacy War/Session 3

State of the war:
*There are three fronts: Nippon-Brumaire, Genova-Bishant (also Nippon-Aeldrum), Pin Jump-Harwel (us-Aeldrum)
**Aeldrum probably doesn’t care about winning quickly at Harwel; they mostly want to cost us manpower, rather than take the planet back, and are only using volunteers there (not professionals). We should entrench, make it impossible to get
**Defender of Firhbank–it didn’t fall, but not for lack of trying–the man in command is the Butcher of Korinth (one of our dudes)
*Lots of labor abuses happening in Aeldrum, both of indentured servants & free workers
**ATC is massively anti-union
*Aeldrum Secretary of State: told state media to back off of ATC / Lidenia, which was doing our job for us but now is not
*If they win Firhbank, big moral victory, esp for Thalranese. Links Thalranese front with Aeldrum front, so they suddenly don’t have to coordinate small amounts of troop increase with orcs... essentially, total Thalranese commitment.
*If we win Harwel, we paralyze their commerce, but it’s a huge gamble.
*If the Nipponese fold entirely, then that’s great, but if they just pull out, we’re screwed (and Shantine are happy)
*Net, we lose a war fleet at Firhbank, humiliated / regroup with the Butcher–disaster
*At the Pin Jump, gain the second deck (allied with Brass Cities)–we claim the Pin Jump!!! (Brass Cities have more control of it, but we’re in there. Sweet. They run off to mess with the ATC in Celestial Space)
*Bush is the real hero at Harwel and, while they didn’t win the gate, pushed significantly
