You're a great strategist, Axrendale, the supply lines and defenses you set up for the colonies were astounding.
My Earthborne are doing the same job the Americans did in World War II with their Airborne Forces. Causing havoc by delivering light infantry to a location to assault and capture Nazi forces.
It won't win us the war, but 3000 soldiers is a moderate casualty.
Granted, your new soldiers will most certainly make up the slack, but the Earthborne can attack any Earth Kingdom location and then go back again and again. They can be deployed well beyond the front lines, meaning sending more soldiers is not a valid strategy. The land we get back can also arguably increase our soldiers morale, which has been proven to increase their combat ability by a significant margin, and the everpresent idea of assault in your colonies more than decreases that of your own soldiers. They will be afraid and jumpy from the idea of attacks from underground at any Earth Kingdom location Isabel decides upon. Guirella warfare can greatly damage morality.

The great thing about Guerilla Warfare is that once your oppoents resort to it, you know you have them backed up into a corner. But the thing about guerilla tactics is - it's an admission of weakness, a statement that you can no longer hold your own in open battle. You guys have lost your ability to defend yourselves against all out invasion.
We must wait for the Water Tribe to make a move. It may be interesting.

I lost 3000 men against the EK attack, but that's okay, because the new recruits give me 3000 men to replace them. I remain on 13,000 troops.

Give him time. He might have just gotten caught up with his girlfriend.

Don't forget, we have yet to hear what your casualties were. I refuse to accept that you could attack 7000 veteran warriors with Superior technology and make off with out at least some losses.
