Re: A war game, what would you do? [Re: nakors_junk_bag]

Why bring the Persians in at all? Its an unknown variable and will likely not help the cause at all. The Spartans seem like your best chance, provided they can get past the Athenian navy and land safely on your island. Remember, you have to prepare for Spartan treachery, it should be easy enough since you are hosting them.

You could insuate into the Persian courts the campaign the Athenians are launching against you, convince them to invade Athen while the Athenians are incvading you. Boom they now have a two front war. They will need to devide their rescources giving you an advantage. Then if all goes well and you beat the buggers at home. You can enslave their fallen army and then march rioght on uo into Greece and take their shit. Cause the fight between the persians and athenians will have weakened them to a point where they can resist little. When that is done, get the persians, leave the spartasn alone cause they helped you. As long as your Thanato/Spartan army is moving forward there can be little time for Spartan treachery. Split the landes you have conquered evenly with the Spartans and prblem solved.

i say let the persians and spartans and athenians come and fight each other, and evacuate the island and go with all your people to either the spartania or persia and take over their citys while they dont have anyone to defend them. and make their people slaves. and when the armies come back weakened from battle and travel, have their own people slaughter them

The Spartans would then invade you, taking all of your land and autonomy, either conscripting all of your men into the army, or selling them as slaves.

I think Thanatos should hoist Spartan flags, make an effort to make it look to the Athenian navy like the Spartans have come to defend you (they owNz0rZZ at fighting on land). Hopefully the Athenians will retreat knowing they can't beat the Spartans. When they have gone, dress up your island and make dummies and whatever, as Persian. When the Spartan army arrives it will not want to engage with another superpower for the sake of the silver mine.

Then they will leave you alone for long enough for you to find a Keanu Reaves to fend them off

i like the 2 front war idea. It's worked in the past.

"the Athenian navy has surrounded the island."<--- this kinda puts a nix on deserting the place to go attack their backside.

Then comes POLITICS. Instigating the Persians to hit the Athenians hard, near the Spartan border, could draw the Spartans into the fray becuase they don't want another fairly unknown military force sitting right next to them, waiting for a chance to hit them too. Established boundaries would mean nothing to them. So that Navy that is sitting off the coast wouldn't be very useful for holding onto a mine. That would be small potatos if your logistical supply line is smashed. Troop transport would take a greater role and therefore could draw the oppressing forces away from you. This would have to be prearranged though, as outside communications ain't going to happen if your message goes down with the ship it went out on. During the lull between the Athenians covering their asses, the Spartans fighting to keep what territory the have, and the Persians sweeping down to gain new territory, I'd be steadily fortifying the island with seige defenses... Walls with bogs in front for archer kill zones, catapults and trebuchets to damage offshore invasion forces, a security force trained in how to use battlement bottlenecks to cause the most casualties possible, and several layers of sealable walls to which troops can fall back to in the event of a breach. They don't even have to be stone, just enough of an obstacle to channel the enemy into the worst possible areas and slaughter them. This then goes 2 ways... they either back off and devise a more subtle way of exploiting your island via blockade, trade embargo, or through more peaceful means like offering something you want in return for access to the mine... which is likely to be a pitfall anyway b/c they now have control throught the thing you desire... OR they totally overwhelm you (which they could easily do if they dedicate enough troops to it) and annihilate any chance of you striking back.

Being on an island with forces around you that isolate you and the fact that they have an enormous number advantage kinda makes this more of a " how long can you last?" kind of fight. If they want it, they can take it, any one of the 3 forces, as long as they are willing to sacrifice what it'll take to destroy any resistance. It mainly boils down to who you hate the least, then you tailor your political subterfuge to bring about that end. Going head to head with them is suicide.
