Ok, been talking to Joseph, and we've agreed, and as Tian has pointed out so kindly, we need to organize and start striking back. We have four officers on earth, so we are going to split them up. Joseph and I will oversee one fleet/task force, while Matthew and Zero oversee the other.

With that said, Matthew and Zero's force will be primarily land based, outfitted for paradrops and artillery support. Marcus and I will run a more covert fleet, based more for tactical strikes, and naval battles. We worked out some basic ideas for what each fleet should consist of, and pieces can be tweaked for each, but here is what we came up with.

Group Alpha
-Matthew and Zero-

1xDodbay
- Class: Land battleship
- Armament: 2x 2-barrel main cannon turret, 2x 2-barrel heavy machine gun turret
- Hangar Capacity: 4x infantry, 12x tanks/aircraft, 8x mobile suits in external racks

-4x Marines

-1xLuggan
-11x Dopps

-4x Zaku K
-2x Goufs
-2x Doms
__________
2x Gaws
- Class: Airborne Battleship
- Armament: 3x 2-barreled fore MPC turret, 6x long range fore missile launcher, 24x AA machine gun turret, bombs
- Hangar Capacity: 2x infantry, 6 mobile suits, 6 tanks, 8 aircraft

-2x Marines
-6x Magella Attack Tanks
-8x Dopps

-2x Goufs
-4x Doms

Thats how I feel each ship should be outfitted, the Dodbay outfitted for support as the Gaws control the skies/drop off troops. I understand Dodbay is a land battleship, and if there are needs to move fleet over seas, we can establish this fleet in Africa, allowing us to dock the Dodbay at a friendly base, and pick up either a third gaw, or a Gallop to round out fleet and allow us to drop the Dodbay if needed. Dodbay is giant cannon!!!!

Group Beta
-Joseph and Chris-

2x Jukon II
- Class: Naval Battleship
- Armament: Torpedo launcher, 9x Missile launcher
- Hangar Capacity: 1x infantry, 4x mobile suit, 1x aircraft

Ashray
-1x Panzergrenadier

-1x lvl2 Acguy(I)
-1x Acguy
-1x lvl2 Agguguy

-1x Luggan
__________
Other Jukon II
-1x Panzergrenadier

-2x Acguy
-2x Gogg

-1xLuggan
_________
1x Jukon
- Class: Naval Battleship
- Armament: Torpedo launcher, 9x Missile launcher
- Hangar Capacity: 1x infantry, 2x mobile suits

-1x Marines
-2x Goggs

_________
1x Gaw
- Class: Airborne Battleship
- Armament: 3x 2-barreled fore MPC turret, 6x long range fore missile launcher, 24x AA machine gun turret, bombs
- Hangar Capacity: 2x infantry, 6 mobile suits, 6 tanks, 8 aircraft

-2x Marines

-6x Doms
-6x Magella Attack Tanks
-8x Dopps

Gaw will be purely for support, bringing in reserves, and allowing us to sortie to an extent with any Don Escargots we come across... Submarines will be able to work more stealthily than the other fleet, and allow us more options, especially at the naval front.

I am going to say now, if we go this route, even loosely, would like Tian to come along with Joseph and I.

87th Fleet is a major concern of ours, its getting stronger each update we don't cripple it... we've managed to kick the 42nd down a bit, but the naval front needs to be dealt with. at least to the point to have them start back pedaling.

I can have my fleet up and running in about 2 weeks at most I believe... That's if I don't purchase Grabro to use against 87th.

Would it be possible to cut the estimated numbers down a bit to pick up better pilots initially, though?

That is fine with me Matthew, like I said, these fleet ideas are simple templates to be tweaked to your personal style. I would like to get an active list of people on our side, and whether we play it like school yard kick ball and pick teams, or what, we should divide our forces accordingly.

some people should go with others for obvious reasons, like Draco, is an artillery unit, should stay with the land unit. We can discuss this later, lol.

But yeah, tweak the defenses as you see fit, I just posted what seemed like most balanced. Keeping the Zaku Cannons with the land ship for support, etc.

I would love to have Janadian, Ender, Draco, and Cloud for sure (if at all possible). We can talk about it later though.

I'll work on a rough timeline of purchases and such a little bit later.

Zero if you want to send me your RP that's fine, if not that's okay too. The way I see it, it doesn't matter which one of us buys the first batch of fleet components.

Erm... To be honest, I don't think I ever said we should definitely do all this. I said I'd have to look at the state of the world, and what we need to do, and then wanted to look into what forces we should buy in response/anticipation to/of our enemies.

I'm not saying the idea is necessarily bad, just that I'm not "behind" it just yet. I need to hit the sack, but I'll try to comment as early in the morning as possible.

Just something to think about: after compiling the locations of our enemies on Earth, it's obvious they're super-coordinated. I don't think trying to hit them head-on with our fewer numbers would be the best strategy. Rather, I think we should try to organize two or three strong fleets, and three or four strong PC groups. The fleets could harass the Federation fleets, while our PC groups could go after supply convoys.

One thing is certain: We HAVE to coordinate RP amongst our people. There's no other way we can counter the better numbers, technology, salaries and (thus far) planning by the Federation.

Oh, I was just looking for any reason to make some hypothetical purchase tables. ^_^

The tables I lined up were mostly how I felt we could match up against the 42nd Brigade. In principle I agree with the concept of or two or three fleets and multiple PC groups, I'm committed to the idea of a fewer number of talented NPCs as opposed to a larger number of unskilled ones. This holds true in aircraft support especially, since we are forced to field fewer aircraft at a time we need to make them count. lvl3 Dopps are srs.

It would make sense logically though, to split up (at least until we get fleets going) in a similar fashion to the Federation - one group could focus on countering the 42nd and another could focus on the 87th. That's just how I think, anyway.

Their RP coordination has been better, although I think a good portion of their success has come from improvisation and not necessarily strategy (some of them tried to convince Jojo to move out of North Africa a long time ago, but apparently they thought they were in a good spot so they kept pushing forward). As far as the actual planning goes I will stand by Malta to the end!!!!!!!!

Anyway hopefully either tomorrow or the day after I'd like to get a write-up comparing units between the Zeon and Earth Federation and post more detailed views of how I think we should invest.
