A Successful Crusade

After months of conflict, a resolution has finally emerged. Thanks to the genius of Major Antonio Brave, Zealot troops, and the divided nature of the states, all of the involved pagan nations have been defeated.

Although this was a huge victory, the invasion was the easy part. Now, possibly decades of missionary work will be needed to convert the lands to Christianity, but other than that, the Nationalists have gained a clear majority in the CDR.

Now what follows is the Nationalists' plan to make Chalistine the major power in the Lumshaw. Valens Quinto has made it quite clear he sees Epirot as the main obstacle to their goals. Conscription has not been called off, as the PM estimates the age of conflict has begun.

Chalistine will show its superiority, even if it means sending the world to anarchy.

Gains Chalistine Victoria

+20% War Support
+20% Stability
-50 opinion of all states bordering the Lumshaw Sea

The National Democrats have announced their ambitions to show their superiority by any means necessary.

The Campaign
300,000.
that was the number that were ready cross the Lumshaw into NCF.
and so they did.
at first only 80,000.

The landed with a massive roar of the cannonry of the warships behind them to end the coralandian defences, as they would land across the terrain the strategy was simple. put a lot of men in a small area. and charge them forward as one. and so they did, the overwhelming combination of howitzers, field guns, and others combined with the naval artillery devastated the coralandian defences across the region, as the artillery would be used in the centre of their coastal defences to create a hole, and the classic strategy would be implemented:

divide et impera.

the aspen forces crossed into the targeted spots of the artillery en masse, the overwhelming combination of firepower breaking the forces and splitting them in multiple parts, which would be dealt with one by one.

Used by a simulation
Siege of Oberetown
The attack was good but foolish, as the mainland prepared for the incoming fleet and the Epirotan's destroyed the first line of defense the second line rained down hell but, the nature of Epirot's attack was far too deep and they were pushed to Oberetown and the Epirot's besieged it. However, with naval superiority coming down to the NCF and Epirot's forces far to devastated, Epirot has to change their tactics, or their entire legion could fall.

His invasion force is almost the same about of German and British casualties at the Somme. 100,000 men than the amount of French casualties. It also matches exactly the deaths across all 3 factions. 💀
That one attack had more people in it then the amount of British soldiers that served through out the entirety of the revolutionary war. Not sure if this one is as relevant but still that’s bonkers.

Also I just realized this was numbers we would send during the RP in the 2040s-2050s

we only sent 100,000 men in now, the other 200 thousand are in reserve (waiting to cross the lumshaw)
austria deployed 400,000 men in the brothers' war, Prussia deployed that number and some more.
it's not that unrealistic to assume that we could mobilize the same amount as either of those powers did in those in the seven weeks, if we assume every day is a month like it was in the medieval, we have had several months to mobilze that amount,
and I mentioned drafting all able-bodied males from 18-30 + those already in the imperial army.

18-30 is a small number in a place(people like mike tyson, dwayne johnson and the rock would be exempt from the army) like the Uk (for example) its only around 4-5 million conserderig total 18-30. Anyway that's too young id advise 18-60s which is the drafting age in ukraine. Also its very hard to just barge into someone mainland territory its almost impossible. (thats why D-days so famous despute nearly losing and its was on occupied territory and they did it with like 4 nations armies.) So dont expect to win this invasion easily and especially in the first half of the war. Id advise redirecting attacks from my colonies up north and maybe you can have occupied territory in the north and Ill have some parts of your island just to make this war long and juicy

I always forget the acronym to your nation so I always defaulted to this. Glad you like it.

Ukraine's drafting age is because their fighting a total war.
this isn't a total war.
D-Day was so hard because it broke the Atlantic-wall, naval landings can be quite easier if there is are no defences, invasion of italy stands for me here, the Italians didn't have too many defences in the south and it was far more successful, and so does operation dragoon)

Yes but you are forgetting the other two factors One they had several nations and two my mainland is highly defended and the Italians were exhausted of war this is just the beginning.

Some Help

The Chalistinian government has formed a federal organization called the Corpo Truppe Volontarie, in which military personnel can volunteer to participate in party-approved conflicts, most notably the war between Epirot and NCF which many are calling The Southern War. About five thousand men have signed up to participate in the conflict, hoping to gain glory and show their pride in their nation. The unit has been organized and sent off to the front lines, in where they can be directed by a mix of native and volunteer generals.

Chalistine hopes to both improve relation with NCF and also increase the likelihood of them weakening the Epirotese

NCF Foreign Advisors had began visiting Chalistine for new trade deals. King Mako Mahi has also announced intentions to visit Chalistine.
