Even a fleet a mere couple hundred strong inflict staggering losses against the Dominion fleet if it kept coming out like that before they were overwhelmed. If they mustered a fleet of thousands then I won't be betting on anything getting through that wormhole. Not even a Cube.

True. Even if they can go three battlecruisers abreast, that's still only three at a time vs. the combined firepower of a fleet.

Well one side or the other would have to gain control of both sides of the Wormhole real quick or neither well get anywhere. Once one side builds up the other won't be able to get through.

Which is probably the best situation for all ocncerned, but doesn't help us resolve this WotW...

It actualy does. If we assume both sides can get to their side of the wormhole at equal speed, then it becomes a stalemate. Neither side can push through without crippling their fleet to the point where they couldn't conquer the rest of enemy space.

So the resolution is no resolution? I'd go with that, but it wasn't one of the options.

I know, but that's how it turns out. Neither side can push forward without destroying their own fleet in the process.
That's why I considered it a victory for the Allies: they get to defend their homeworlds while the Dominion fails to conquer them.

I agree, but I think this scenario is more meant to determine the outcome of an all-out conquering, rather than the scenario from DS9.

In that case there can be no victory for either side. Pushing through the wormhole would cripple the attacker so badly he'd be unable to continue the campaign.

Agreed.
To more accurately reflect how we think this war'd go, Teaos, coud you edit in a "stalemate" option?

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.
The reason I dont think they cant win with out a dues ex machina virus is because they cant.
The Dominion almost beat them with only a tiny fraction of their total power, their fleet is larger over all, their ability to grow/build, ships/troops is far faster than the allies.
Every single thing is in the Dominions favour.
Name me one thing the alliance has superior to the Dominion.
