The second TIL war was rather interesting because IX and LCN had defected but still held FDP's with most of TIL. We brought in TIE, ICN, and Quebec to replace them. While these alliances had some size, and Quebec (say what you want about them) could actually fight, they were not even close to the firepower of IX/LCN. Despite this, without the heavy influence of RD, I don't think TIL would have lost this war either.

I remember TIE/TF did a joint FS on SOL with TIE leading the warchats. Their policy of targets all Tyr's first regardless of size, made us go absolutely crazy and do all future warchats on our own lol.
