Count me in (provisionally).

Hooray!
Also, a thought occurs. If we were to successfully capture Malta, due to the lack of mining facilities in the European zone, we could attach a mining facility onto the base and rebuild it. From that point, we could spend a week or two there guarding the base until it's fully operational again, and use that time to gain VP and resources.

Sound theory, I would just be concerned about this becoming about constructing pylons, which is really not much fun to play.

Agreed with Andrew, also count me in. For planning purposes, count me as having two Accguys and a Luggan for my MS team.

Right now, we're only going to build the one at Malta because we're conquering the base and can get the RP from it instead of the faction getting it. |

Scarth had an interesting idea earlier: send both our infantry PCs on scouting missions, but have Scarth's team be decoys so Braddigan's team could actually get data by watching the Feds capture Scarth.
He also suggested L0 Zaku Is as suicide bombs against their GMs. We'd need a little more planning to make that idea work though.

Suicide actions should be avoided as it gives a very bad image of the Zeon's war fighting capabilities. Pretty much good propaganda for the Federation, however.
Also, think about just launching a punitive raid against Malta to destroy the Medea B. Easy 500RP.

Furthermore, purchasing one or two more Lugguns would be a very prudent thing to do, as relying on a single Luggun is, at best, a very big liability.

I am completely and totally against any suicide bombing. -_-
Punitive raid could work, although again I'm not really keen on any strategy that involves letting people be captured.

I agree with Gappy that capture should be avoided as much as possible, as it is highly, highly inconvenient to be captured for both the prisoner and the side he is affiliated with.
And remember, Federation PCs know that Malta is an easy target, so they might pick up on your intentions unless you plan out a feint or two (which is the wonderful thing about working on Earth since movement can be varied). Remember, a nice Federation sniper support on their part can quickly bring down a mighty Gaw.
And don't forget about sieges, if you're being tailed by a Federation task group.

It definitely seems way too early in the game to give away our intentions with regard to Malta. Everyone involved pretty much has something going on the first day of the game, so the earliest we could possibly mount an assault would be week two. It is -vital- that they (mostly the luna titanium PC units) are confused by our movements, it would be extremely annoying to have to deal with the sniper especially (as Jim has said).

I'm willing to drop the mass duel (well the other two can still duel if they want), to make Malta go off.

Malta is an island fortress, would have no problem heading a scouting party from the water with the two accguy units and myself, using the stealth rating of the accguy to our advantage, possibly adding a jukon to the scouting party and to be used in following attack.
While Malta is an easy target, it is an island and would be most advantageous to establish sea superiority at start of battle, as there is not much surprise in flying across the water to get there. A lot of bases we have potential to come across are coastal or island.

Also, think about just launching a punitive raid against Malta to destroy the Medea B. Easy 500RP. What if we used an artillery strike against the Medea to cover for a scouting raid? |

ISLAND, think you can get range from next nearest landmass to do that artillery strike?
