CB, about the Paraguay column, Afrikaan Tanks[ask for more detail] have almost complete superiority to the ET-OORSIO, and as far as I know, I out number you, with over 150,000 pounding through that area. In the Andes advanced you would need lots of rockets to take out even one tank[from the top], and thanks for pointing out the hypicrisy. I just think your underestimating tank rushes, I'm not sure though. I know mountains are hard on tanks but the roads have been cleared by plows[on the fronts of all NIU Loki's].
Just trying to get some errors out. But other than that your RP is accepted.

I never said it was the Osorio tanks overbearing you. Osorio tanks are the most manueverable tanks designed MBT tanks real-life, so if Afrikaan tanks have so much armor, they will be slightly less manueverable I suppose. In fact, they were a diversionary tactic used to harass the Afrikaan column after they crossed the mountin to draw them back and then use a much larger force to flank them and then isolate them, and continue to use harassment tactics on the other side of the mountain to block reinforcements, because we are outnumbered, we have to use divide and conquer tactics.
In the Andes, a tank rush is simply a bad strategic choice, because in almost any case you'll be bottlenecked, be it the valley or the thin rouds winding around the mountains. Further, even if you plow the snow, because of all the detorus and winding, and coming to string bridges that tanks cannot cross, a proper course takes many more days, even weeks than it would would more hospitable terrain. And we are using harassment tactics and not attacking the MBTs directly with the guerilla contingents, but instead going for the weakest targets, such as cargo trucks. Though in my next post I will go into more detail on the Andes ambushes I have in store for you. Long story short, it's going to be a long trip until you can get into Brazil.
Tag for interest...
Risban may need to protect its interests in the Americas later on. Heh.

Tag. Pretty good anticipation of the war, and seizure of Bermuda, huh? Can't do much more for now due to RL stuff.
