To be more accurate VC-Day, and depending on how bothersome are the remains of the Draconis Combine and how much pull Omi got with her hosts VD-Day may be close. Although there are still too many conflicts all around the Inner Sphere to stop.

A single nuke launched against troops as a last ditch attack makes sense (even if that was an agent provocateur wanting to increase the death toll for both sides) but I cannot think of any reason to completely nuke 4.2 bilions, even denying the planet to their enemies is not as expensive as the...

They are black ops who act as terrorist in the entire inner sphere, there is already a substancial price on their heads offered by every legitimate government, including those who ally with them (everyone knows they will stab you in the back the first chance they got therefore allowing them to...

Thing is that what made road ambushes in Vietnam so deadly was that they were ambushed either reinforcements trying to reach an isolated unit with minimal air support and poor maps or they were logistics units attacked at the discretion of the local enemy units. This is going to be a massive...

That said, between mechs and military combat engineers they can cut through a lot of jungle, especially if they use any service roads used to built the highways and set artillery units in support of the main effort.

And the few historical cases in which a revolution does not let the middle management relatively intact are those in which famine and absolute inestability follow, even the status quo is better than the kind of chaos that follows putting in place people who know nothing about the particulars of...

The enemy is composed of barely trained militia and fanatical loyalists with a high command that is more often than not acting on illusions. First reduce the amount of artillery support to the Fed attacks, to make the enemy think that the supply of artillery rounds is low, maybe make it so that...

That's how they have been fighting this whole war. The Feds increased the organic artillery of all of its units and started throwing a wall of fire against the clans with the mech units acting both as a shield to the artillery batteries as well as mop-up operations. What you're proposing is...

Only if the WMDs are detonated at the very last moment and wipe out an army worth of Feds, plus the entire planetary population in such a way that the historians will compare this with those dark days that characterized the end of the Star League. Suicide bombers, a hostile population and a...

I think that the Combine situation is a little more complex than that, especially with Omi having the ear of the Feds. While the desintegration of their sworn enemy is a dream come true they will have plenty of reasons to at least stabilize the region to prevent a new agressive power taking hold.

Then use warships and even more artillery than the one used in Clover Spear to pound them into dust. Its not as if the PR hit is going to be worst than the infantry going inside a city and being forced to kill hundreds of children armed with spears and explosive vests. Hell, after the Capellans...

Frankly I am hoping that the Feds simply establish a blockade, take potshots at every mech and aerospace factory in the surface, send some easily decoded transmission to the surface (that are going to be selected passages of books aimed at random military bases and key civilian figures) and then...
