Some old men talking about the past
Actually.. babkha usually loses quite a bit before some dudes called karnalians used to come to their rescue. babkhan military men are certainly not comparable to those spartans. babkha's advantage comes not from superior training or weapon systems, but ruthlessness and uncivilized method of fighting, such as ideas similar to terrorism (though on small scale). so its more easier to compare them to genghis khan and the persian army (from movie 300) than to spartans.It should be noted that Babkha has a long history of both militarism and victory. One ought to imagine that Babkhan children would, from an early age, be raised pretty much to be soldiers and sailors in a manner slightly reminiscent of (although it breaks every rule of Babkhan society to compare Babkha to the Greeks) Sparta. Moreover, due to Babkha's long history of military prowess, it ought to be recognized that a significant portion of any Babkhan force would probably be battle-hardened veterans. Finally, it should be noted that the historic militaristic themes at play in Babkha would most likely produce a society which deeply supports its military, thus raising the factor of strong support from the home front.
infact, ardhashir had nearly died at the hands of an elite antican force. and definitely killed by the at-best amateurish new brittanian/matbaic soldiers.

Re: Order of Battle: Republic of Ashkenatza
Even the Lovelys managed to disable the Vanguard under Ardy's Command.
And the New Brittanians destroyed an entire babkhan/GC carrier group without any air support.
admittedly I was involved in both actions but I dont wish to brag

the babkhan/gc carrier fleet was under the command of that alexandrian guy. one of the portelas brothers. so, that doesn't count. he had a habit of sinking his own babkhan ships. like for instance putting a carrier next to the enemy battleship.

Then Babkha and the GC should have been thrown out of the war along with Alexandria for operating papels!
I'd say it counts. He may have been Alexandrian but the sailors and ships were babkhan.

Dual citizens rather than papels old boy. Anyway without going too off topic (or at least separate this out from the orbat postings if it does)
The death of that particular Khan did not particularly affect the outcome, just as the advantage gained by Monty obliterating the reinforcing task force under Portela was nullified by Jeremy being routed and good old Oscland defecting.
(Anyway didn't a fleet from Stormark not blast Monty out of the water not long afterwards?)
It made it through the blockade through, missing its aft gun turret and partially flooded I'll grant you, but it still made it through and the munitions, personnel and hardware offloaded helped stabilise the collapsing Woodstanic frontline and made the counter offensive which retook Sudentor from Jeremy possible... which leads us to...Even the Lovelys managed to disable the Vanguard under Ardy's Command.
They were Nova English, and I called the air strike in on myself after a snatch squad had somewhat naively planted me in front of a radio set in their command post with the instruction that I order the surrender of the Babkhan/GC forces in Woodstania.definitely killed by the at-best amateurish new brittanian/matbaic soldiers.

Oh and Extreme does the victory through air power routine so well that it was always prudent to just leave him to get on with it.

fleet of stomark? oh comon.. even you should know this by now that all stomark ever does is fly in on those viking aircrafts of theirs, fire away their missiles and leave.
strange.. this online viking nation uses aircrafts as opposed to ships used by the real vikings.

Dual citizenship? So why did he command two separate forces; 1 Alexandrian and 1 Babkhan?
A fleet from Alexandria hunted me down but before I had my flagship destroyed, NB surrendered thankfully!

Wait... actually back then there was that glaring loophole that allowed dual citizens to command forces raised under both nationalities, wasn't there?

That can be essentially summarised as "we all want to win, therefore we shall" No?

It translates as having a "will to victory" which is not quite the same thing.
