Then you should have added in a "stalemate" option. Neither side is going to get past the wormhole if both sides have a chance to build up their forces.

I still think the Dominion would win through shear weight of numbers in the end, they can afford to lose a fleet more than the alliance can lose a strike group.

The Founders wouldnt allow an alliance of solids as powerful as the Fed/KSE/RSE to survive, they would destroy it no matter the cost. They would have huge loses but in the end they would win. They would poor fleet of Battleships through until the alliance couldnt hold them back.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

But half this thread was about how they couldn't pour a fleet of battleships through the wormhole. No matter how many you have, "one-at-a-time" is still "one-at-atime."

The Fleet that was erased was several dozen ships wide.

Got a cap? I'm sorry, I don't recall seeing the disposition of the Dom fleet inside the wormhole.

I believe the large ships were Dominion battlecruisers, flanked by considerable numbers of attack craft.

OK. Looks like the 'cruisers could go three abreast, or two plus auxiliary craft. Thanks, Reliant.

There's also this scene from "In Purgatory's Shadow", which gives a good impression of the sort of strength the Dominion would be able to muster immediately after exiting the wormhole.

The biggest problem you have right now is you don't even bother to think that the Allies could win. Every time you talk you always say the "allies lose if they only hold the wormhole" but somehow you try to make it a win if the Dominion does it. So, you end up talking crap about nothing.

Fleets of Battleships... I guess since the whole war we've only seen 4 of them, it must be a small fleet. :roll:

Do you even think when you talk or is it just the hope of making that shot in the dark? You keep saying they win because of numbers. Go ahead and think that, seeing how that helped them win the DW right... :poke:

So this would bring 8 Battlecruisers and maybe 3 times that in Bugs vs how many hundreds if not thousands of ships from the Allies... The only hope for the Dominion would be for them to just keep coming and pray the Allies run out of ammo at some point.
