So we plan some action in Gibraltar.
The plan I and OSI developed so far is:
Quote:
 
Germans ans Azraqis takes Tarifa and Gibraltar, then lands in Africa to take Ceuta, while you land in Arcila and me- somewhere between Puerto Cabaz and Tetuan. Soon
British-Serbian and Azraqi-German forces engage in to bloody campaign and have great looses. Seeing that, Saadi attack one and later second side and kick bout invaders out. Seeing Azraqi and Germans defeat in Africa, Spain moves forward and take Gibraltar and Tarifa. We all defeated and forced to recognize Gibraltar strait as neutral territory.

But GB wants to avoid land war, because British are stronger in see.

In accordance, my idea is: British naval forces, position them self in north from Tanger to prevent Germans entering Mediterranean. Because of that, Germans lands somewhere in west from Tarifa, while Asraqis- near Gibraltar it self. While Azraq army and navy engages siege of Gibraltar and Germans fighting they way to meet ally, Serbians lands near Tetuan and march towards Ceuta. Because British forces separates Germans and Azraqis navies, they cannot meet and admirals of bout sizes do not want to take risk and engage British alone. Eventually, we reach steelmate- bout sizes are locked from each other and after initial victories, popular uprising take place in Morocco and Spain. In result, truce are declared and all four Empires recognize Gibraltar strait as neutral waters.

Or there is any other ideas?

I like it. By leaving the strait neutral at first, one side can later revisit it. Also, what about the English Channel? As of yet, I can't go through it. Shall GB and I have a personal naval battle there, or what?

It all looks good to me and I agree that the Strait should be neutral.

Also Germany I plan on sending a fleet to assist you in securing the English Channel.

If we're all in agreement, shall we proceed?

Ah, in that case you guys should formalize your alliance and Germany and I can start the Gibraltar thread immediately.

Also, I just re-read the plans for the thread and noticed that apparently none of our forces are going to be engaging each-other. Is this correct or have I missed something?

It seems likely that there would at least be a naval battle, what with the English Channel still blockaded.

What if the Germans disguised their transport ships. Flew under a neutral nations flag and claimed they were a merchant fleet?

So you've stopped searching ships that try to pass through your naval blockade?

I'm only stopping your ships. no way i could stop every neutral nations ship that passes through the channel. that would require to much. I'm certainly not stopping any ships coming to or from France since I obviously wouldn't 2 of Europe's major land powers against me.

Note: I'm assuming theres is a NPC France there.

I would like that, but as we in different continents...
Plus, than you think of it- its more logical and realistic: we invade to secure our interests, but popular uprising cost dearly and thats just on the one shore of strait...
So eventually we come to agreement to avoid campaign, who threatens to become something like Vietnam for USA.

On the other hand, if ours armies meets on the field, having in mind risen tensions and previous hostilities, such event might escalate in to full scale war between blocks. In fact, we had to think some (hardly realistic) reason to do not have war after ours troops began to kill each other.

Ah, I assumed that this would be be the culmination of hostilities and result in a declaration of war between the alliances, but I see your point.

Well from an Azraqi IC perspective Great Britain and Serbia attempting to take control of Gibraltar, coupled with shutting down the English Channel is pretty much forcing our hand. Naturally I can't speak for Germany so it's still up for debate, but I'm thinking that a naval battle over the English channel is our next step after Gibraltar.

P.S. Happy New Year everyone!
