[ For the Poland Universe ] This war was simulated (begins, and ends) in only one project. It is a lore-building war. Take it as a filler war. [ RP ] Expansionism is something needed to reform the United States. It is what is needed for salvation. It is what is needed to survive. It is needed now. The Salvation States decided to act now, and act upon invading their neighboring country of Deseret, to fully insert dominance over the Rockies and most of the Mojave. The Salvation Army would prioritize extremely elongated frontlines, spanning entire country borders, as a way to logistically destroy the opposing nation-- now this would also strain the Salvation Army and its resources itself, but it's noted as 'worth it' if it is meant for salvation. This tactic is what led the invasion to take longer than it should of, leading to the war to span around 2 months. 300.000 men are mobilized, mainly infantry and light artillery. They are sorted into large brigades, capable of producing successful battle results in large scale battles. The Rockies and Mesa Flats are used to the Salvation's advantage, prioritizing continuous skirmishes in rugged terrain, effectively letting the Salvation Army continue its offensive for the next few weeks. Logistics suffer for the Deseret government, having to defend your whole eastern border left the country draining and pumping out what it can to defend as Salvation troops began to approach Salt Lake City... Salt Lake City was made to be a stronghold and was what kept the Deseret morality, as to start many citizens seemed to be in favor of the Salvation invasion as many had seen the promise of 'salvation and reconstruction'. Many Deseret troops were ordered to flee to Salt Lake City to defend the city; leaving a huge portion of lower Arizona to be annexed. This relieved both Deseret and the Salvation States' supply routes, as both nations no longer had to continuously supply such a huge frontline. [ THE BATTLE OF SALT LAKE CITY ] Salt Lake City was eventually reached upon by Salvation troops, beginning a 1-week long battle, with Salvation men offending from the mountains of the Twin Peaks, while Deseret troops defended the outskirts of the city, including I-15. Evenutally though, the city fell after reinforcement from the Salvation Army down south as many were redirected to assist in the battle for Salt Lake City, leaving the Deseret Army without a choice but to surrender. (This was poorly done excuse me if it seems like frp) Soon after this, morale in Deseret completely dissolved, leaving many in the Mojave furious at the lack of defense put by Deseret, leading to many councils and warlord states of the Mojave to secede from Deseret, defecting toward the Salvationists. Deseret soon surrendered after this. Deseret was incorporated into the Salvation States along with the Mojave Councils, which decided to remain autonomous for the time being.
PS If anyone has noticed, most of the wars I do against AI are very similar, basically its "invade some territory then let enemy flee to city then siege city and rest of country capitulates", and yeah it is basically that but I don't really have much other ways to do this without it being a coup/annexation or wasting like 6+ hours on my work (I do other stuff outside of the online world and have a life yk). I know this isnt a great excuse but I thought it'd just be something to get off my shoulder. I also forgot to do any air-force related RP and I'm too lazy to fix it :sob:
