To be fair to Saddam, he's weaker the 2nd time than the 1st time

Desert Storm was a completely different kind of war, and its success really owed more to the new weapons and new doctrine that became the vogue in the 80s than anything specifically learnt from Vietnam. When it stopped being "conventional" (the "conventional part" was not exactly why the US lost in Nam) and got into the dirt, we see maybe they hadn't learnt as much as they should have.

@Wild Goose: Quite frankly, given Fate's scenario, I don't see that they have much choice. It is not even a "face" problem anymore, but a vital strategic interest being threatened.

A 30 year war? Is it just this little brushfire that the TSAB kicks on with its little toe? Because it is hard to believe that they had a 30 year war that was of any significant size and they STILL look like the way they do.

Erusian War Timeline as follows, pulled from the as yet unrealeased OFM timeline, and muchly abridged:

Spoiler for Erusian War Abridged Timeline:


@ark: True, that. On the other hand, given the many black ops units the TSAB's created - or rather, OC has created... on the other hand, depending on when this takes place...... nevermind i'll think about it later and come back.

As for war... technically North and South Korea are still at war with each other, as is the Malaysian Government and the Communist Party of Malaya. <.< Though I'm sure Jimmy intends for a more active war taking place....

Among the random things that occur in the IRC, one of them was my mention of the promise of Belkanite. While it clearly is USB's material, I added a few other effects, but forgot what it does to some women... >.>

A completely new addition to his profile is his family background, and their private militia, the Forty Thieves. The 40T are part of the melting pot Saint Guard as well, and, like most of the minority forces that make up the SG, are not part of the Black Guards under Brother Marcius.

The Black Guards eventually defect to Skane's side before StrikerS, since the High Council assassination is a StrikerS event.

Type-0 started development 25 years ago, the first encounters are probably somewhere along 10-15 years ago. At the very least 10.

Well, Jail may be the poster kid for mad scientist, but he's definitely a smart mad scientist. This kind of trick doesn't seem at all past him.

Pretty much. Where Nanoha desperately tried to talk with Vita after she was attacked, when Tesla attacked Keroko the reaction main reaction was 'oh you did not just shoot at me!' and she decided to kick the crap out of her attacker first, ask questions later.

In any case, poor planning is a tremendous handicap at any level of military art. The main difference between tactics and strategy is in scope. Tactics is the process of combining different arms and services to win a battle. Strategy is concerned with the plans and actions that directly contribute to the outcome of a war. The operational level and operational art link the two.
Ah, that makes it very easy. Keroko is a tactician, but not a strategist.

Tesla is both an expert tactician and a expert strategist.

Iraq is a totally different fight from Vietnam.

Plus, as Colonel H.R. McMaster's work on the subject indicates, the US Army didn't want to think too deeply or remember Vietnam very much (there are some indications that because he was saying stuff Army leadership didn't want to hear, McMaster lost his last shot at a star).

Anyway, something I'd like to remind everyone on OC when it comes to making charecters, but especially the new kids on the block:

Besides, if the defection occurred 12 years before StrikerS, "the Cleric" is only a vigilante that's a thorn in TSAB's side. Marcius would be free to preach his brand of Belka, and maybe disgusting young Carym still struggling with the assassination of her mother, Benezhir Garcia.

...yes its a Benezhir Bhutto tribute. This is a glimpse to what I imagine the SAR was like before the Heroes of New Belka came to be.

LEGION is still awesome. Griffith after his experience late StrikerS will attest to that.

Why? Because Griffith the outstanding battle force commander who has the IBA on the run is to GDI as LEGION is to IBA . I hope.

I remember Fuyu has a few, Ratler had 2, Sakura for me... Not much else. So I guess that counts as rare.

Btw, it's not Sakura anymore. I felt it was too evil to not give the little chibi her own name, so I picked Stella, named after the Subaru Stella which is a sister car of the Subaru Vivio. Go figure why. :3

Uh... Okay. So Jail and Skane, as much as they were undercutting each other, cooperated with each other, with one side (Jail) using what he learnt from the Tacitus to prepare the world for the Spawn, the other (Skane) hell-bent on bringing them in.

Ultimately who profits? LEGION.

You can deny it all you want, but that's what your attitude and your actions say. Your presence would be more appreciated if you would help refine the theories presented and not always keep shooting them down out of misplaced glee - which is how your conduct appears.

I believe you take yourself a lot too seriously. Not to mention being an arrogant ass, for reasons that I have stated in Military and will restate again if you've forgotten: The primary reason being your belief that only your theories are correct and everyone elses is wrong. Not to mention your declaration in Military that it's not your fault the theories that come your way are full of holes and that the people putting forth ideas have a responsibility to make their theories bulletproof to your satisfaction.

Now, ark, take the arguing to Magitech. You wanna fight, fight in Magitech or Military. Keep the fighting out of OC. Beat your dead horses all you like; we're here to write and tell stories. The focus of the OC thread is NOT for you or anyone else to have your fanwanking arguments. That's what military and magitech are for.

A word of advice, ark: Things would go so much better and easier if you'd work with us instead of always picking fights.

Finally: Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha. This ain't Kansas.
Goose, if it makes you feel any better, I used the Bumblebee Argument too, and ark responded in the exact same way...

Wow... wait a second!

Because they read "Enslavement" instate of "Administered" a normaly friendly star system just slaughtered a negotiation party!?

I mean... they must have known it was communication by translation... so they didn't went like: "Wait a second... Enslavement? You enslave worlds!? Like forcing them to submission?", not a single try to enshure the wording was ment that way? Just looking shocked and then pulling out weapons and start shooting? People you discribed as 'friendly'?

Well sorry... maybe it was different but it just looks to me that way.

Pretty much.

The people in charge were rather hot-headed, and reacted very badly. Erusians also believe wholeheartedly this saying: "Better to die free than to live enslaved." As soon as they heard the word "Enslaved" they went on the warpath. They truly thought they were doing the right thing, standing up to an evil oppresionist TSAB.

(Following the progression that past rulers were thought to be divine manifestations of the most revered figure of the major religion within a country? ^^; )

I've set the travel time between them as 3 years one way. So that neither faction is willing to commit their full resources to destroying each other. Despite this, you just reminded me that I need to think of good reason why the TSAB's forward base (an Administrated World set up for the purpose) hasn't been destroyed yet. For that, I thank you.

Oh my...
And if you consider the fact that TSAB is a militaristic organisation that governs a lot of worlds, the Erusians seem to really think they fight against an evil military dictatorship.

Thanks for clearing this up for me.

That part is supposed to be answered as the story progress. I've yet to see a writer giving the hidden agendas of the main villain in the first chapter of his work

If they get cheeky, it seems they hold a great share, but not all the resources the TSAB needs, so what will happen is that the TSAB will simply crush the Aldians with sheer numbers to ensure its strategic interests. If they are too tactically incompetent to win a ground war, they'll just bombard them out of existence with space superiority and then land to take over the mines. Especially the TSAB of this OC group, who have invaded a whole planet over much less - search for the Subjugation of Erusia. I suppose your story is supposed to fit somewhere in this OC world, so...
Invading other countries for their own interest is the kind of image that the TSAB is trying to avoid. If they invade Aldia because they're short on materials...dont you think other countries and planets would start to question TSABs credibility in terms of being an interdimensional police force? They need a good reason to invade Aldia first...

well thats already given, which is why TSAB just relied on other kingdoms instead even thought it made their research and weapons development programs slower.

sorry, I forgot to include that the tanks were autonomous. As for the unit size...did you ever wonder why I never called the knights as Velkan Knights? Aldians Knights are different from Velkans. Did you ever wonder in what level they are special since the king only sent that much amount of force to take out a kingdom? of course not, I haven't covered that part yet. Also, as far as I remember even though its a kingdom...I DID mention its a small one.

But he's literally begging for his country to be dismembered.
When you ask that question, it also makes me wonder if Jail was an idiot who attacked TSAB knowing he would still get dismembered. After all, even if he has the cradle, TSAB has the Arc-en-Ciel. It also makes me wonder if TSAB was stupid enough not to have any station near Mid where ships like Claudia could dock for security purposes.

they waited on the same area where the battle took place and waited for reinforcements. Once their backup arrives, they will split into 3 forces. Each having 10 Aldian Knights and will start making their way to the capital while occupying towns that are on the way. One of their purpose was to gather more test subjects.

Obviously, that was just an excuse to invade Orthia. They sent 1 ship that has more war potential than Claudia and excels in speed. Its new model that has a support AI which makes it convenient for the crew. They obviously sent 1 ship because their objective is to investigate what the Aldians are up to in their research or what is their estimated war potential and not the occupation of the kingdom itself.

which is WHY they sent Fate and the others to confirm before taking appropriate actions. If its true, then TSAB have another reason to give to the public why they have to overthrow the king from his position or invade Aldia.

I intend to do that later on. The point was that the TSAB underestimated the Aldians just because they are fewer in terms of numbers. Due to that reason, they lost the FIRST battle. Which is why the TSAB sent Signum and the other battalions in Orthia to strengthen the defenses of the Capital.


and yes, Fate and Teana is just the 2 out of many. Just to make one thing clear, many of the agents are not from the TSAB.

Another reason why Fate and the other agents were sent and why the TSAB hasnt taken that kind of action yet. I doubt TSAB would just send an airdrop without thinking if their troops or ships would ever get to the ground in one piece.

it was unclear which is why I include the word "possible." Again, Fate and Teana were sent to confirm if it was true and they had to bring evidence with them. In addition, they also have to investigate what weapons that Aldians might have in their disposal.



My post was just a summary of what's going on overall. It was just meant to let the readers know the general idea why Fate and TSAB were there in the first place. I think it was necessary to do so before introducing the other group that would make deals and team up later with TSAB.

P.S.when I think about how detailed your questions were...it just makes me think how depressing Nanoha StrikerS was.

Thanks for the critique though

My, my it seems Evangeline is popular already. And that's Melissa and her sister. Evangeline is an only child, remember?

Evangeline: It's your fault for posting those pictures in the first place. And I don't remember saying you could post THOSE!

Well, maybe only a bit of a tsundere

Kinda rough backstory there... but then again what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and Evangeline despite her history seems to have turned out into one fine asskicking lady

*ehem*
That she has Just...better hope she doesn't decide to kick yours

Did I just create an expansion set for Rebuilt of StrikerS...?
An expansion before the main story is even out? Talk about advance planning

Hmmm...I guess I missed this 'Belkanite' discussion....
