Southshore has always been legitimate Forsaken clay and the Forsaken happened to think it would look better as a leisure centre for oozes. Nothing wrong with that.
And Taurajo has always been a legit military target.
Only mistake the Alliance made was giving enemy scouts, warriors and hunters a chance to escape.
how was it a legit military target
you alliance coming over here to a continent you only found out about 10 minutes ago because a spooky wizard projection told you about it
“The tauren army pressed forward in an attack before, not after the late general Hawthorne had ensured that the civilians of Camp Taurajo would be allowed to leave unharmed. It wasn’t like them.”
“Yes,” said Baine. “They took down a military target. And their general refused to slaughter civilians. He could have given the order to massacre everyone. But he didn’t.”
Tauren bros. . .
Sent them right into a pack of ravenous quillboars that the Alliance had already been striking deals with you mean.
Out of the frying pan and into the piggy fire…
If Hawthorne let the civilians out first, how come when I went there there were dead civlians.
Baine yet again a mouth piece for the Alliance propaganda machine.
Propaganda + Horde News Sources (also propaganda)
I can see the bull horns beneath your blue hair, Akamito. . .
There were black dragons at the ruins, no? Hence Twilight’s Hammer. Not the first time they make a fraud over the tauren, as Cairne would never know.
Alliance? Where was the Alliance when Teldrassil fell? Where was the Alliance when our enemies closed in around us?!
Where was the All-
No, my Lord Meronspell, we are alone.
I legitimately don’t remember there being black dragons there.
Ah, sorry, black dragons were around Theramore. Here it’s been Alliance deserters.
I mean… All-in-all, Taurajo was on the Alliance one way or another, no matter how much Hawthorne tried to make the best out of it.
His men were, for most part, a bunch of criminals forced into Alliance gear, wearing Alliance colours and forced to fight the Alliance war, when they had nothing to loose and, probably, no connection to the Alliance, as an organisation.
It was a warcrime waiting to happen…
Same way Theramore (a refugee port), Southshore (civilian fishers), Hillsbrad Fields (civilian farmers) and Gilneas were legit military targets.
Taurajo wasn’t a warcrime.
Even if it wasn’t a military target, it supplied Horde forces in the area, thus making it a legit target.
I depict Alliance war crimes as the soyjack and the Horde warcrimes as a chad.
You lose Shadowtwili.
I look at Brennadam, then I turn to smile at the camera.
Nooooooo! I forgot to do that…
You win this round!
It’s a fair target if they supplied the Alliance war effort!
Was it even part of the Alliance when the Horde decided it was their ancient lands?
Indeed.
Was not part of the alliance at the point of the forsaken invasion, a neutral faction full of warm bodies in the heart of their domain, right when the warchief demanded they step up the war effort and bodies/ recruits were running low.
By the time they join the alliance, Gilneas was little more than freedom fighters / rebels whom the night elves chose to back with weapons, because it was cheaper than mobilizing their own armies.
and I guess the scythe of elune was somehow in Gilneas and they didn’t want Sylvanas’ stinky corpse smell all over it
No?
Even if it was, I don’t think pinning unarmed women to walls with spears while their children are watching and then taking your time to enjoy it is considered good solider conduct, even for the horde.
I mean, if you want to list an -actual- Alliance warcrime of the time, I’d name opening fire on an, at the time, neutral goblin vessel just because “no witnesses.”
I also thinking the whole operation was shady to begin with
Thrall had left his position as warchief and was undertaking a mission with the earthen ring at the time, no?
