Scarth and Ryocha, if you two could would you might trying to scout Malta on Monday? A successful report would be pretty helpful.
Everyone who is arriving into Europe on Monday, please perform an Overwatch action on Tuesday.
Zero, if you are interested in participating in the attack on Wednesday please perform an Overwatch action as well on Monday and Tuesday.
Orichi, if you like to participate please begin moving to Europe on Monday - you can still make it if you begin moving tomorrow.
I'm still putting together a final list of purchases before tomorrow, but basically here is the timeframe we are going with:
Monday
- Ship purchases finalized and made, everyone involved needs to be in Europe or headed there.
Tuesday
- Fleet formed in Europe, participants board fleet.
Wednesday
- Last day for people to join up, attack commences with a plan to be finalized by Tuesday night.
By the way, I can't remember if I mentioned this or not already in this post but I am still finalizing the list of things to buy for the attack. Here are the numbers I'm working at as far as how many people (and supporting forces) we are currently expecting:
My shop purchases are going to be so the most people possible can board the ships in the fleet and nobody will have anything stupid happen like their MS team vanishing because the fleet can't hold them. I'm also trying to balance out what we will need to successfully take Malta too, though.

Scout email has been sent.
Godspeed to my failure! Maybe while the defenses are incinerating my insides, Ryocha can get an easy scout.

Shopping List
Current RP – 1675
Gaw – 1375 RP
RP remaining – 300
4x Dopp – 88 RP
2x Dodai YS – 56 RP
Total RP – 144 RP
RP Remaining – 156 RP
Spaces Occupied:
Mobile suits – Ender (Gouf, NPC Zaku II J, NPC Zaku II K), MyTitan (Dom, NPC Zaku II J, NPC Zaku II K)
6/6 mobile suit slots filled.
Aircraft – Ender (NPC Dodai YS), MyTitan (NPC Luggun), 4x NPC Dopp, 2x NPC Dodai YS
8/8 aircraft slots filled.
The thing to note about this is that there would be 3x Dodai YS onboard the Gaw, that could launch and ferry the three mobile suit PCs who otherwise would have to ford the ocean (myself – Zaku II S, Ryocha – Zaku II J, and Zero – Zaku II S) to be RIGHT alongside the fleet as the battle begins. Draco and his MS team wouldn't have to board the fleet either, because his Dodai YS could do the same thing for him. This way, Ender and MyTitan can board the fleet without losing their stuff because there isn't enough space, and the rest of us are perfectly able of being WITH the fleet even if we aren't IN the fleet.
Assuming Dan does actually get a Jukon, I plan on buying a couple Zaku Cannons with the last bit of the money to support the fleet.

I've xfered my credits to Chris (as of this morning), and made the movement action from North America to Europe, via the West Arctic. I believe I will make it by the skin of my teeth.

Well, make room on a ship. My scout failed and got me injured for the Malta attack, with a stunning 1CP gain.
Joy.
Leave some room on a ship though, so we can at least get my MS TEAM and possibly, if all goes to hell, an injured me in the fray.

Okay, here is what I would like to happen tomorrow:
1) Ender and MyTitan, if you guys could please board my Gaw ("Dragon"), along with your MS teams, we are going to bomb / All Range Attack the lone EF member in Europe (GM Ground Type / DrugLordKai / Anton Rowsdower) tomorrow to make sure he doesn't harass us on Wednesday. We should be safe, he can't really return fire unless he randomly decides to buy things tomorrow specifically to harass us with. I don't know if you have to do anything, but if you don't mind would you please also mention that you would like to perform an All Range Attack using your forces with my discretion / plan?
2) Scarth, please board Dragon as well.
3) Everyone else in Europe, please perform an Overwatch action.
I'm planning on buying some more Dodais and Dopps tomorrow. So far we're still set on a Wednesday attack date - Chris and I will post a final version of the plan tomorrow.

Here's a rough map of the attack on Malta (VERY ROUGH. WILL EDIT IT MOAR OMG)  Okay, so the plan will consist of three phases. Phase 1 - Gaw drops troops in western mountain range of Malta with limited Dopp / Luggun support. Dodai YS drop majority of troops in other two mountain locations closer to installation, with limited Dopp / Luggun support. Jukons take position well outside both harbours. Artillery units begin shelling the base, non-artillery suits begin moving as indicated. Phase 2 - Gaw begins high altitude bombing of base. Dodai YS begin strafing runs against ground defenses with limited Dopp support. Jukons move into position outside base, engage any battleships within targeting distance. Mobile suit teams take up position as indicated and engage any targets actively trying to defend or counterattack. Dopps attempt to destroy all Dish and Don Escargot aircraft, with a backup goal of protecting Gaw. Phase 3 - Once anti-air and anti-sub emplacements are neutralized, Dom and Gouf paradrop from Gaw into base. Artillery barrage cease. All allied forces converge on the base and infantry units storm HQ. Victory! Edit 1 - I'm still trying to figure out the logistics of exactly WHO is going WHERE. Stay tuned! Edit 2 - Also, during phase 1, as the artillery suits begin bombarding the base all the non-artillery suits are going to hunt down any enemies detected by the Lugguns that aren't inside the compound and destroy them before they can fall back, this is why our mobile suits are a little spread out. After destruction of all exterior targets is confirmed, they will proceed to their positions as defined by phase 2. Edit 3 - Please feel free to offer any questions or concerns you might have! |

I am not sure how all of us will fit on the Gaw, gaplant. Between ender and myself we have 6 MS. That would leave no room for you.

I need to know the fleet name (if indeed we have a fleet so I can join it). Also I assume I need to send my e-mail to travel with the fleet to Malta tomorrow (Wednesday) am I correct-o?

Please post here when the attack is, as soon as it is decided, or better still, make a full new post detailing that the attack takes place on X-Day.
Example of post Subject/Topic: Send Malta Emails Wednesday (11/4/2009) to Participate!

I'm disembarking from the fleet to mainland Europe for the room - right now this will allow you two to join the Gaw and not lose your stuff and everybody else will be able to use Dodai YS's to cross the ocean in the name of speed.
Chris - we can still do it on Wednesday, just make sure you buy your ships and stuff at the base today first, and then say you want to move to mainland Europe. That way you'll be in Europe tomorrow, and everyone attacking can join the fleet as we form it and attack.
Andrew - We'll form the fleet tomorrow, we don't quite have enough ships to hold everybody that is (hopefully) attending so I think what we should do is have some people not _AT_ the fleet (fleet has to have enough space to cover the PCs) and have you guys attack _WITH_ the fleet at the same time, catching a ride on our massive number of Dodais as I indicated.
