I voted the long hard slog to a VHC victory, the technical advantage is just too great.

We've got 3 votes for the TE but no one has come forward to support them... Come on people...

Really, I'm on the fence on this one. A good argument could sway me either way. TE supporters, what say you?
They say that in the Army,
the women are mighty fine.
They look like Phyllis Diller,
and walk like Frankenstein.

I think that the TE could win, on a very slim chance that the Vulcan's couldn't build ships fast enough... The TE would gladly give up ships and ram them to win...
But also the VHC could overpower them if they could exceed the losses, they could raid them, and destroy them fairly simple, So I think it could go either way.

I voted for the TE for the simple reason that they'd already made their universe's Vulcans into slaves, starting with an even greater tech disparity. If they could do it under those circumstances, I'm sure they could defeat the Vulcans using considerably more advanced equipment.

Ummm... what "considerably more advanced equipment"?

This is a war between the ENT Vulcans vs the Mirror Humans. Each one based off of their abilities shown from their own timelines.

Considerably more advanced than the equipment they used to defeat and enslave the Vulcans of their universe. I guess I didn't make that clear, sorry.

I voted Terrans after a long bloody conflict because of two reasons:

1. The Mirror Terrans defeated the Mirrior Vulcans, meaning they do posess some of the know how to defeat Vulcans, and they'll have Mirrior Vulcan Tech.

2. At the beginning of the War, The Vulcans may be looking more for a peaceful solution, holding back their full force. Earth will be going all out targeting key shipyards, and other strategic points...
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

OH, okay. I wrote of the Mirror Vulcan defeat as they seemed to lack any combat ability (plot fate).

I figured on the VHC being much more aggressive then the mirror Vulcans.

They might be, but the VHC from what we've seen is still logical and somewhat pacifists, they'd rather make an alliance and treaty than go to open warfare, the only exception to this is the Vulcan Council leader who was following the Romulans.

We must have seen two different VHCs from ENT. Not hard to believe since I never paid much attention to it. But, the VHC I saw used monks as spies, humans as scapgoats and surprise attacks as their primary tactic.

IIRC the monks weren't spies, just holders of the secrete of the listening post beneath the sanctuary, idk what the human scapegoat thing is, and the suprise attack was what I was reffering too about the secrete Romulan plot.

Still, not a very peaceful race IMO.

No, but more so than the Terran Empire.
