So the cheap and expendable Special Forces are just fine although 7 brave soldiers lost their lives.

The Attacker (Lee) lost:

120 Attack Helicopters
399 precision bombers
120 fighter planes
170 attack drones
114 Stealth bombers
4359 dead soldiers
10994 wounded


So far to get my war damage down to 99.63 General Lee has lost at least:

2535 Stealth
2320 Bombers
480 Fighters
480 Attack Helo
680 Drones

I ask again is it worth it?

You guys should post more of the drama on the Forum. I didn't even know that the Mike C-Lee War part two electric boogaloo already happened (again).

Educational note for people:

Attacking anything before defense units down are going to result in HORRENDUS casualties. As we can see above. Mike C was able to get FOUR Defensive units to respond to each attack. This is a perfect example of why Federation air Defense is so strong. So, a bombing unit has attacked a special forces unit (questionable target) and in response THREE Interceptor units and one land unit responded. "Long Range Division AA Hamm, Defense Interceptor Wing Black Sabbath, Defense Interceptor Wing Freedom Flyers and Defense Interceptor Wing Freedom Force."

In the second attack Lee lost:

114 stealth bombers x 2.27B Market Value = 258.80B
39 precision bombers x 1.13B Market Value = 44.10B

300B lost in a single attack, to no avail. You do have to eat those costs regardless, war is expensive, but if you're taking those losses without at least trying to punch a hole through that defense you're not going to accomplish much. People need to take out the defending units, Interceptors/Helis/Land Defense/Nuke defense before successful attacks can be launched.

The War log is a useful tool for seeing -exactly- what the defenses are throwing at you (and bragging rights) so it should be paid attention to.

King Emperor Lee was good enough to allow me to assimilate another country into the Crescent family tonight. I asked for peace but when he promised to not declare on me again he used a question mark instead of a period at the end of the sentence. Not knowing his true intentions I preceded with my general's prior plans. I do hope we can reach an amicable agreement.

You're a liar Mike C! I asked you to sent peace treaties to all the countries involved and you took another country instead!

No Mr. Lee, I asked you to send a promise to not attack me. You sent this: "Send peace treaties all the countries involved and I promise not to attack you again?"

THAT has a question mark. What the hell does THAT even mean? A period would have meant you wouldn't attack me. An explanation mark would have implied you really meant it. But a question mark???? That gives me the impression that you are unsure. I need you to be sure.

I would be happy to return your country to you if you are serious about peace. But I can't deal with doublespeak and mixed messages.

The question mark was referring to you sending the peace treaties to the relevant countries i.e. are yo willing to send the peace treaties!

I have now
sent a peace treaty to all countries.

I have accepted Mike C's Peace Treaties and hope we can build a friendship in the future!

At last Peace, or as it seems to be.

I sincerely hope it's a lasting peace. But if not I have several weeks holiday coming up, and 24 hours a day lobbing bombs is always an option.
