Why would you ask me this? I've never expressed any interest in the may-mays.

Dude, you started the invasion by hacking into my recon network and playing a loop, and then bombing my “sleeping” pilots and running down my “disorganized” soldiers. It’s been like that for the entire war: your forces are always magically better than mine and manage to score continuous victory. I don’t see why I should adhere to fairness and realism if you don’t.

My forces didn't magically appear, and my own words when I attacked was "when they were likely asleep" I didn't say they were asleep

Goodbye permanently....

Do step in and use your moderator role so we can meet on equal ground so me and Erusiia can have an actual war.

I mean, fair's fair. He started out reasonably, you godmoded in literally the first action of the war, and he subsequently met fire with fire. Seems like equal ground to me.
If you'd like me to moderate a save-scummed version of this conflict where nothing's actually happened yet, in the future I might suggest stating the actions you will be taking, after which I can provide the outcomes of these actions, and nobody can thus be said to be godmoding.

Then our enemies will know our plans

I’m in favor of this. Allouxia?

More like 'don't particularly care enough to do it, and have things I'd rather do instead', but alright, since you asked.

A legion consists of 15,000 men usually. They all have Scorpion Tanks and Azuran aircraft are ready to back them up.

So. From that first line we can infer that you have at least 96 legions, which we can just round up to 100 because let's be real, that's how many you intended to indicate you have by saying '96th'. From the last line, legions are 15,000 men. That suggests you have 1.5 million men under arms, which, when we compare to your bizarrely specific figures from your Military of Cote Azure factbook, suggests the lion's share of your guys are 'footsloggers' (insofar as you can be when 'they all have Scorpion tanks', which is an issue I'll come back to), meaning you left about 450,000 people to do all the rear-echelon stuff that makes an army actually function like 'ammunition storage' or 'maintenance technician' or command staff, all the way down to 'cook'. But let's ignore that and instead look at all the other fun toys you brought with you.
8 aircraft carriers, 85 destroyers, 40 missile cruisers and 65 subs. Boy golly holly, to me that sounds like you've committed all of your naval assets at first glance, but of course that was stupid of me, because in your WFE you clearly indicate your total numbers of each of these extremely expensive toys are 53 (combining your carrier figures), 358, 158, and 267, so really you've committed around 1/4 of your fleet assets to this engagement.
How the sweet Jesus do you pay for all this crap? Simple numbers, let's take the Ford-class figures for your 21 'super carriers', and cut those in half and pretend those are real numbers for the Kitty Hawks and call it a day for your 32 'assault carriers', and you're looking at $470 billion just to build the carriers, nevermind refits. Each of your subs is, assuming they're nuclear subs because that's all the US even uses anymore, is gonna run you up a $5b bill. Each of your destroyers, ~$2b. Missile cruisers, call it a billion. I haven't even started talking about cost-to-run, maintenance costs, supply costs...for example, your carriers should be running up a total bill of $90m a day - at peacetime.
Your Navy is hemorrhaging money just by existing, not even actively doing anything. The costs of actually doing something would be economically ruinous.
Assuming, of course, you're making use of actually reasonable statistics that don't involve your nation being anything like the 6 billion people your NS stats would indicate, because if it is supposed to be 6 billion people in just your country then we might as well just say 'meh' to logical numbers in the first place.
I'd probably go deeper and actually talk about your scorpion tanks like I said, but I've realized the gaping hole in my argument of 'I'm assuming I'm arguing with realistic numbers', and so I'm cutting my losses and going to the beach instead.
