Enemies
Being monarchist, Alf's Imperial Army often battles groups of self-proclaimed Republicans. One example is The Battle for Oamaru that took place in October 2000, when the Army fought against a motley but determined band of about 40 New Zealand Green Party members calling themselves "Green Republicans" who assembled in Oamaru under Field Marshal Keith Locke, their Commander in Chief. According to the Greens all those on the Alf side committed suicide (sic).
Alf's Imperial Army has battled against many different groups, including political parties, the NZ Police, student clubs and student hostels, The Outward Bound organisation, community organisations, Sea Cadets, schools, TV stations, nudists, and of course other pacifist warfare groups. One of their major rivals was the McGillicuddy Highland Army, and as such Alf's also performed the vital role of preventing the Jacobite McGillicuddy Serious Party from gaining power.
Since the inception of Alf's Imperial Army, other similar pacifist warfare groups — many of them unaffiliated to Alf's — have sprung up around New Zealand. Notable among them are the McGillicuddy Highland Army, the Waitati Militia, and the Czarist Russian influenced First Lindskii Regiment.

Famous quotes containing the word enemies:
“Don’t make your enemies happy.
Make up with your lover,
who’s greedy to be back
in your good graces.
Daughter,
because you’ve taken anger to extremes,
you won’t amount
to a hill of beans.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
“Into her lying down head
His enemies entered bed....”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“The idea of enemies is awful it makes one stop remembering eternity and the fear of death. That is what enemies are. Possessions are the same as enemies only less so, they too make one forget eternity and the fear of death.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
