Also, you lot have a lust for war.
In my defense, I did try to avoid one. I wasn't lying when I said that the South was caught flatfooted, because we were behind on manpower, tech, industry, navy, national unity, infrastructure, and usable land.

The only reason we won was because of European involvement, and the only reason we survived to see that is because Thrawn went with human wave tactics while I went for a hard counter to that with trench warfare, land mines (I love that these were an option), and barbed wire. And even then, I lost a lot of land right down to the edge of my capital.



One thing I really appreciated about the finale is that Rye was assassinated over implementing conscription, while Reagan went on to keep governing despite doing the same. That's largely because Reagan refused to evacuate the capital when it was in danger of falling, instead taking up a rifle and standing with his men. We held the belief that if you're going to risk doing something as unAmerican as a draft, you'd better be willing to stand your ground and die a martyr if the front line comes to your doorstep.
 
'Human wave tactics' are when you have more men than your opponent, it seems.  :lol:

I enjoyed the hell out of this BoP, even if I was... disappointed with the end result and the much more literal wave of British troops that washed down from Canada. I was so close to establishing Socialism in the United States, given two more turns I could've really started ****ing with the British on the high seas. That's how it goes though! Great game!

I mean, throwing conscripted immigrants into a meat grinder with no regard for their well being is kind of a human wave tactic. We mowed them down by the bushel turn after turn, and then you turned on your own people and got shot for it.
