Other than getting the next round of mines up, I think we should start planning for future attacks. Draw up maps, discuss tactics, that sort of thing. I know you have a plan already, Chan, but bear with me on this. We need to make use of this more often for a variety of reasons.
It pays to be prepared, and since the strategies can be altered prior to the actual assault taking place. I think we did well for the resupply fleet attack, considering.
Now, I'm of the opinion that the chief failing of that attack was the lack of ships. Mobile suits can only do so much, after all. I realize that you couldn't make it on time. But perhaps I should've stood my ground for the Blex Fleet attack.

Duly noted. I won't be able to reach +2DE however until the middle or end of Week 4. At that point we can attack Blex Fleet with 19 mobile suits (counting the players) and afterward proceed to make our forward base at Side 5.

We should start planning for a confrontation with the Disco fleet, because sooner or later we're going to butt heads with them, and I'd like to come out on top.
Capture is probably best left off the table, so planning to turn them into space dust is best.

Agreed. The basic idea in my mind is "Zaku II F" rush.

With an oldtype on board. Zaku II F rush him first to the point that he's tangled up in Zaku parts.

Not really sure treating our suits like cannon fodder is the way to go when we have to spend money on them.
But what's the game plan here aside from hitting a fleet? I'd like to get something concrete onto these boards, and IRC/MSN won't do in this case.

Well, what I believe we should do in the long one is to first eliminate all of the Federal +2DE fleet. This would a) give us more protection against incursions into +3DE where our mines are and b) give us protection against the EFSF coming into Side 5 which I am going to designate our repair and restock area.
Wyatt really annoyed the Zeon space force last time by constantly being in their way whenever they leave or enter +2DE. The same effect applies to the Supply Fleets. In fact, if we time our fleet assault with a NPC fleet blockade action, we can decimate the EFSF Resupply Fleet.
Once we are done with +2DE, it's onwards to Side 7. The successful siege of Green Noah & Green Oasis will spell the end of the EFSF as an offensive unit. Freeing up the Zeon fleets at +2DE first will free us from worrying about the EFSF backdooring Side 5 while we are focused on Side 7.
Of course, we'll take a special trip to Side 7 in order to block the (anticipated) Zephyr Phantom Event.
Right now my current worries is what are the immediate intentions of the 1st Experimental Disco Fleet. They're located at +0DE after grouping with the Pegaus II Kira Yamato. The GMs in the Fed arsenal don't have beam guns yet. I strongly but not completely sure that they're going to drop into Luna II for repairs on the Shinji Ikari. If they do, this gives us 2-to-3 days reprieve.
If not, it's race to +2DE and Side 5. Overlord construction officially ends THIS TUESDAY. That means Overlords 1 to 12 will be pumping RP into the Space Force. Well, only Overlords 1 to 9 will be at 150%. The Side 5 Overolords are running at 100% until I build the space fortress at Side 5.
But if it comes down to combat with the EFSF before our Gwazine on Week 7, they have three fighting ships to our two. But our ships are faster and we have more MS. The style I'm going for is keeping the Erinyes in front of the Lucifer's Fury in a battle line so we can broadside the EFSF. I'm not sure how to keep the Pazock out of this.

Keep it as far from the battle as humanly possible and assign a few MS to guard it during the battle since it can't carry any on its own.
If we had more cash to spare, I'd suggest buying a Bigro to keep it safe since there's no reason it can't tow one, but if we're going to get that L4N Gwazine, there's not much room for extra expenses.

On another note, when we do the attack on Blex, you guys DO NOT join my fleet. I'm maxing out the full 14 + 5 Zaku II Fs that I can afford. I'm sure we'll lose enough MS in the end for you guys to board.
I also have to rely on all of us getting the 50 RP for being in Trivias and Contests in order to afford the L4N Gwazine.
Do you think we can be good with just 1 Zaku II F on all mines instead of 2?

Probably.
But once the time for the attack comes, we'll need to put that bit about not joining on the forum used by the non-officers so they know.
