This is the starting conversation between myself and Kyle, the two EFGF officers:
(09:42:54) flippmoke: so you went EFGF?
(09:42:58) Kyle Webb: yup
(09:43:03) flippmoke: guess we are the two officers
(09:43:05) flippmoke: in it
(09:43:07) flippmoke: exciting!
(09:43:08) flippmoke:
(09:43:09) Kyle Webb: indeed
(09:43:18) Kyle Webb: and judging by your name, we're both British
(09:43:24) flippmoke: I am dutch actually
(09:43:32) Kyle Webb: ah
(09:43:39) flippmoke: but close enough
(09:44:58) Kyle Webb: so we'll need to start coordinating what to do with the grunts before too long
(09:45:08) flippmoke: I would say we need to now
(09:45:12) flippmoke: so we can win the planning prize
(09:46:05) Kyle Webb: have you had any thoughts?
(09:49:31) flippmoke: north africa is a normal target
(09:50:54) flippmoke: first day we can do a paradrop
(09:51:26) flippmoke: only the north african air partol is in the way
(09:52:25) Kyle Webb: are there enough people in Europe to adequately stage it?
(09:52:54) flippmoke: I think so
(09:53:19) Kyle Webb: looks like you have you, two GM Gs, a Guntank MPT, and a Type 61
(09:53:52) flippmoke: for 330 we can get a new Medea
(09:53:59) flippmoke: if you get one too
(09:54:03) flippmoke: we make a fleet
(09:54:08) flippmoke: and then we can all attack together
(09:56:39) Kyle Webb: we can't actually fleet up on the first day
(09:56:54) Kyle Webb: East Asia, and all that
(09:57:07) Kyle Webb: best we could do is instead pincer attack the mine
(09:58:40) flippmoke: wow
(09:58:46) flippmoke: central asia only has one air patrol
(09:59:01) Kyle Webb: I hadn't looked at patrols, but I was thinking along that line
(09:59:09) Kyle Webb: initial fights are always in Africa
(09:59:31) flippmoke: a surprise attack into central asia, rig it to blow
(09:59:33) flippmoke: then fly out
(09:59:39) flippmoke: RF-3 being the target
(09:59:42) Kyle Webb: indeed
(09:59:46) Kyle Webb: they won't expect it
(10:00:04) flippmoke: would also drop their patrol count
(10:00:27) Kyle Webb: hmm. looks like the blue Dragons might be trouble also. they've got Dodai
(10:00:36) flippmoke: oh true
(10:00:37) flippmoke: good spot
(10:02:11) Kyle Webb: the test pilots may as well go ahead and do their mass duel, and then start heading to meet us
(10:02:50) flippmoke: true
(10:03:20) Kyle Webb: it also looks like a first day Medea purchase is out for me
(10:03:28) flippmoke: why?
(10:03:30) Kyle Webb: I start with 300
(10:03:34) flippmoke: 350 rp
(10:03:36) flippmoke: 300 salary
(10:03:45) Kyle Webb: whoops
(10:03:50) Kyle Webb: my bad
(10:04:50) flippmoke: too bad vladimir antov is in the east artic
(10:05:00) Kyle Webb: heh
(10:05:44) flippmoke: I really like the RF-3 hit
(10:05:56) flippmoke: gutsy
(10:05:57) flippmoke:
(10:07:03) Kyle Webb: can people load onto a ship the same day as it's purchased?
(10:07:11) flippmoke: yes
(10:08:44) flippmoke: you can move to indian ocean
(10:08:50) flippmoke: I can move to pick up the people in the atlantic
(10:09:01) flippmoke: we both attack south africa the 2nd day?
(10:09:41) Kyle Webb: RF-4, I assume?
(10:09:44) flippmoke: yeah
(10:09:50) flippmoke: only one air patrol
(10:09:55) flippmoke: would have to pick one of us as targets
(10:11:49) Kyle Webb: if that happens, though, the attack can be completely negated by the patrol getting you
(10:12:00) Kyle Webb: which I guess would be the case no matter where we go
(10:12:27) Kyle Webb: a GM Command, GM Sniper, Tin Cod, and marines aren't enough to take one out
(10:12:38) flippmoke: true
(10:12:42) flippmoke: maybe we should make a fleet
(10:13:29) flippmoke: could meet in central antartica
(10:14:08) Kyle Webb: how about east arctic?
(10:14:16) Kyle Webb: we meet up, fleet up, and go for RF-3
(10:14:28) Kyle Webb: the test pilots have their duel, and go to Europe
(10:14:36) flippmoke: well..
(10:14:42) Kyle Webb: after our attack we go to Europe, pick them up with another medea, and then make our way down?
(10:14:43) flippmoke: I don't think we will have enough air patrol to get through
(10:14:54) Kyle Webb: possible
(10:15:45) Kyle Webb: if we can get the grunts to help pay, we can have three vehicle slots in ships, and the three additional for a fleet
(10:16:07) Kyle Webb: one taken up by that Type 61, which leaves us five aircraft slots, one of which is a PC
(10:16:58) Kyle Webb: and their patrol is 6 level 2s, and we'd have all level 1s, PC aside
(10:17:22) flippmoke: we should have a pc tin cod
(10:17:23) flippmoke: I think
(10:17:34) Kyle Webb: we do. he's here in Asia
(10:18:08) Kyle Webb: but as long as our fleet is Medea based to evade ground patrols, won't we always have an issue with fighter support?
(10:19:29) flippmoke: just a sec
(10:20:22) flippmoke: Every Earth based fleet can be supported by up to 6 vehicles, and up to 3 mobile suits
(10:20:28) flippmoke: so if we get a fleet of medeas
(10:20:31) Kyle Webb: ooh, I misread
(10:20:37) Kyle Webb: or mis-remembered
(10:24:00) flippmoke: oh it takes a day to get out of a base doesn't it
(10:24:16) Kyle Webb: does it to get out?
(10:24:22) flippmoke: not sure
(10:24:50) Kyle Webb: yeah
(10:24:52) Kyle Webb: I just checked
(10:25:25) Kyle Webb: Please note that on the Position tab in a players roster, there may be a secondary position in parenthesis after the first, such as "Europe (Normandy)". For game purposes ignore the part in parenthesis, this is flavor text to assist with roleplaying.
(10:26:06) flippmoke: we have 5 PC MS in Jaburo
(10:26:22) flippmoke: which could be a problem :/
(10:26:48) flippmoke: if you leave right away and head for the atlantic
(10:27:30) flippmoke: and they do too
(10:27:33) flippmoke: but send me money
(10:27:39) flippmoke: I can purchase a full fleet of medeas
(10:27:47) flippmoke: head to pick everyone up
(10:27:52) flippmoke: in the atlantic after that
(10:28:27) flippmoke: then we all strike together in one paradrop
(10:28:36) flippmoke: on either south africa or north africa
(10:30:44) flippmoke: or even might be able to hit mexico city
(10:30:52) flippmoke: which would be another interesting target
(10:31:06) flippmoke: only issue still would be air support
(10:31:44) Kyle Webb: I dunno, they have 19 MS
(10:31:58) flippmoke: we would have 10
(10:32:02) flippmoke: including the gundam
(10:32:07) flippmoke: gmpgt
(10:32:09) flippmoke: gm s type
(10:32:14) flippmoke: blue destiny
(10:34:55) Kyle Webb: also true
(10:35:08) Kyle Webb: but one of theirs is a level 5
(10:35:35) flippmoke: what's the S type?
(10:35:40) Kyle Webb: Char's Zaku
(10:36:06) Kyle Webb: red, command spike, faster
(10:38:00) Kyle Webb: hmm....
(10:40:59) Kyle Webb: there's a bit on the forum of how much money we have, and it hasn't been updated to count a good deal of new members
(10:42:09) Kyle Webb: I think we could manage, if everyone contributes, to get another medea, a big tray, fill the thing with aircraft, and possibly even get a GM G and GM G Sniper if we felt they were worth it
(10:42:26) flippmoke: I would rather avoid a big tray
(10:42:29) flippmoke: as it's a big target
(10:42:32) Kyle Webb: right
(10:42:43) flippmoke: plus we can't do a pure paradrop then
(10:42:44) Kyle Webb: but it would give us a better chance to successfully take mexico
(10:42:46) flippmoke: which is way powerful
(10:42:51) Kyle Webb: point
(10:43:01) flippmoke: which means we have to deal with patrols
(10:43:08) flippmoke: and more time for the zeon to react
(10:43:21) Kyle Webb: man, I hate to say it, but I think we're wasting a PC with those marines
(10:43:31) flippmoke: nah one set of marines
(10:43:33) flippmoke: will be good
(10:43:35) flippmoke: for base storming
(10:43:55) Kyle Webb: sure, but NPC marines are cheap. he could've been a free other MS
(10:44:06) flippmoke: nah I think he will be fine
(10:44:12) flippmoke: yeah true though
(10:44:17) Kyle Webb: I wish we had a panzergrenadier equivalent
(10:44:23) flippmoke: yeah I know
(10:44:37) flippmoke: I hate the aqua GM
(10:44:41) flippmoke: how can he help that much, bah
(10:45:15) Kyle Webb: were you in the last run? I don't remember
(10:45:25) flippmoke: yes I was
(10:45:27) flippmoke: up in space though
(10:45:36) Kyle Webb: riiight
(10:45:54) flippmoke: we could take over east asia
(10:46:42) flippmoke: or europe
(10:47:43) Kyle Webb: we can't completely take over either
(10:47:52) flippmoke: yeah
(10:48:09) Kyle Webb: taking Manila wouldn't be hard, though
(10:48:23) Kyle Webb: Lhasa is where we'd have trouble. Norris would rape each and every one of us
(10:48:34) flippmoke: yea
(10:59:47) Kyle Webb: I think Mexico is a little ambitious to start. which really leaves us with south Africa and its mine, north Africa and its mines, central Asia and its mine, or Manila in east Asia, which we are unable to follow up on the conquest thereof
(10:59:47) flippmoke <AUTO-REPLY> : I'm not here right now
(11:29:56) Kyle Webb: I think the Zeon are going to go for our supply fleets. they're many and lightly defended. conversely, the only fleet they have on Earth has Ramba Ral
(11:29:56) flippmoke <AUTO-REPLY> : I'm not here right now
(09:42:54) flippmoke: so you went EFGF?
(09:42:58) Kyle Webb: yup
(09:43:03) flippmoke: guess we are the two officers
(09:43:05) flippmoke: in it
(09:43:07) flippmoke: exciting!
(09:43:08) flippmoke:
(09:43:09) Kyle Webb: indeed
