I'll be the one hosting this duel. I don't know what the appropriate name is, but the referee for lack of a better word (you know, the one who says to actually fire, or if swords are used to turn around...even though Space Sweden does not approve)
"For Glory and Death! Yours specifically!"
(pulls his own sword and charges) SPOON!

Quantity has a quality all its own.
Hm. I shall enforce a suitable Code Duello... eventually. For now, popcorn.

Yes, but that's when quantity matters...his ships are larger than mine, and there are more of them. Which just means I need to endeavor to not tick off the Centrality.
EDIT: And you're welcome Esquire. Just don't break them, the Furlings Arcadians are rather protective of their stuff even when it is sold off.

*Jumps back* "The ancient ways are safe, ghost! I merely intend to modify them!" *eyes glow red* "Now you shall witness my skill!" *Manages to tap Crossroads's arm with sword, but there is no injury.* "TAG! You're IT!"
I'm doing my duty as an ally of the Chamarrans in harrasing thier age old nemesis the Hellenes with skirmishes of course! It's not my fault they're all using crappy FurlingArcadian ships!

Leaps back as he is touched, a trail of sparkles following him as he eyes his shoulders... He begins to sweat nervously as he counts to 10... Upon seeing his arm NOT explode in a predicted display of anime gore, he exhales deeply.
"Modify all ye wish ye blood blagard! But I shall show ye I am no ghost!" The Bishie says as places his hands together and begins to concentrate fiercely. A blue glow surrounds him before he thrusts his word out dramatically. Crossroads... Super Sparkle Attack! He shouts, a shower of glowing sparkles erupts towards Force Lord. Doing no apparent damage either aside from being trite and annoying.

Did i miss something. is space sweden a micro nation, macronation with magnificently sucky dice rolls or a nation with most of its pointage in ground troops or something?
If they have huge super ships you just surround them with lots of little'uns and swamp them with fire. Points are points are points and who knows you might get lucky maybe the dreadnaughts were specialized to fight ships their own weight and have turrets the size of city blocks rather than walls of lasercannon.
No, we're a macronation with 30 dice rolls. I just focused more on the smaller ships (I have hundreds of 15 point ships for example). It just turned out that my largest ships are 600 pointers and I only have five of them. And also, if anything my Army sucks more, considering it is small (not even 500 million...which for this is small). I do have a ton of cruisers and destroyers though (300 or so put together).
And didn't you learn anything from Star Wars Skywalker?
Big massive ship vs lots of little ones? Fly a fighter into the bridge!

*points at username* Gee you think? Yes, I know that a lot of small ships can take down a single big ship. To be honest, I don't really expect to fight the Centralists anyway, since I would have to get past Umeria, Shinn, and the Covvies first.
Never understimate the pure bloodymindedness of the Centralists Skywalker.
Though the fact the Holy Empire is between you and them might make then slow down.

Yep, I can rely on the time honored powers of the magical girls and vague anime references to protect Space Sweden!
(in all seriousness, the Holy Empire would mean that the Centralists can't get to me in any shape to fight, assuming that they really don't like Space Sweden for some reason)

Only if Forcelord doesn't use his towering diplomacy skills to convince the Holy Empire not to like space sweden as well. After all, the Holy Empire is ruled by a woman and the Centrality leaders have always had good experiences with the female rulers of other nations.
Hahaha, so instead of Sasha the centralist lead (Who's name eludes me at this time) gets to get into awkward one sided romatic situations with God Empress Haruhi?
