I'm beginning to suspect that our emphasis for purchases should be on -talented- pilots for -good- mobile suits (Goufs and Doms, gentlemen) instead of crappy planes that are going to get shot down by Tin Cods.  . I know I pushed for something else on the Command Board, Kale, but after looking at it I think you should hit them and hit them hard on Monday. They will probably do this after the beating Manila gave them in their last Sally Forth action: However, they don't exactly...HAVE close combat troops. They have planes and battleships, and mobile suits that are damaged. The officers can vote for a Sally Forth action as someone else said, and this pathetic attempt should be broken on Monday. |

The fleet seems to be a mixture of sea vessels and aerial craft. Is there a precedent for Doms skating on water? I can't remember seeing it in the shows, but it's been awhile since I watched 'em.

It should still be able to, theoretically. The GM-S did it last run, and it does pretty much the same thing.

Is it appropriate to ask Ketara for a ruling on this, or is that something we're supposed to "figure out for ourselves"?
It'd be pretty awesome if I sent in an action tomorrow Monday, and all three of my mobile suits got about twenty meters off shore before sinking ^_^.

Might make sense to shoot him an PM or something in case you don't want to let the Feddies know that you're up to something.

I emailed him just a few minutes ago, and he said that they can "waterskate."
So if the rest of the officers are up for it, I'd love a shot at trying to break the blockade on Monday.

It was amazing Joseph, :-p Edit: Also, if you want, give it a shot, I will be through Wednesday to finish fleet off  |

Sounds good to me. Now, as Ketara stated in his email, I just have to worry about getting shot in the foot ^_^.

I did run around on one foot for a short while... I had a lot of thrusters though... and was a bit higher in VP at the time. lol.

Okay, so to sum up we have the following:
1) Kale is buying an MS team and attempting to break the siege on Manila. Base action TBD on the Command Board.
2) Fleet "Train" disbanding.
3) Dan taking his Jukon to Atlantic and engaging patrols.
4) Chris taking his Jukon II to Manila, due to arrive on Wednesday should the siege still exist.
5) Gaw paradropping RF-1 and 42nd Brigade, Ender (Markos Steiner) and Janadian (Noelle Everett) participating.
What else is on the agenda?

And let's hope Jojo's new specialization doesn't bite us in the ass, since he can now get 3 services if he wants.

I wonder if Ryocha would come with us to take on the 42nd...

Ender / Janadian, I'm going to be buying 2x Flight Support to go with you. Do you guys have any particular plan you would like to use for the attack? I kind of just figured that Dragon would drop you guys, your MS, and the tanks off well away from the base and you just charge, but I'm tapped as far as creative ways to attack go, so I'm interested in hearing what you think.

List looks good to me, Matthew. If you could please vote "Sally Forth" on the officer's forum, I think that's what we're gonna go with tomorrow.
Good luck everybody.
