Its just me and Blue Destiny GM in North Africa
We have the following enemies in our area:
Ernest Til: Zaku Cannon
1x lvl3 Luggun
1x lvl3 Zaku II J
Ando Shoji: Zaku Commander Type
Marko Dresner: Dowadge
2x lvl3 Zaku II J
Rhet Paruda: Zaku Cannon
1x Dodai YS
1x lvl3 Gouf+Dodai YS
Yuji Takeshi: Aspalus I
We are pretty fucked if they go after us, and knowing draco, they will.
We can do 2 things
1. Preemptive strike
2. Overwatch
Either one we do, should have 250 after this week. Thats enough for an L3 GM but that's it. I'm gonna buy him just so he can sacrifice himself for me.
Does anyone else have any ideas that would benefit us? Maybe send us some cash to help with the MS.

It's enough for 2 L0 GMs, or 2 L3 Fly Mantas/Type 61s.
I'd consider buying 2 L2 fly mantas and an L2 type 74 and just run the hell for either Europe or SEA

I would have run a long time ago, but my character isn't going to leave until Nigel is found.

Ohh dear.
I'd buy 3 Depp Rogs, and Ambush Sho. In your battle plan, challenge him to an impromptu one-on-one duel; his character is likely to accept. Once his attention is fully engaged, call in the depp rogs to bomb the shit out of the area and pray to god your reactive armor will save your ass.
Make one of the Depp Rogs level 3.

Oh, wait. Ditch one of the depp rogs for a type 74, and if it detects other ambushers approaching, wait till they're close, then have the 2 bombers bomb the shit out of EVERYONE (yes, you included; hope that reactive armor stuff works!)

Alright. Which level depp rog should I ditch? Also, Tylatz is lending me his L2 Dracken, Shouldn't do much, but it may be able to draw enemy fire and distract the enemy as well.

That Depp Rog strategy is not going to work. Bombers only work well against stationary targets, not MS. Better to buy some MS and at least one detector and go on overwatch.
If I were you, I'd buy a lvl 2 GM, a Type 74, and a Type 61 and go on overwatch. That would cost 250RP.
Type 61 you say? Well remember that those tanks have some pretty hefty cannons, their downside is they don't maneuver well but since you should be in stationary position being in overwatch and all it'll do alright.
Now if every PC decides to attack you it probably won't do you much good but you might get to escape capture or death.

Once MIA time is up, the character will reappear likely in the location they went missing. However, their respawn location may be changed due to roleplaying or circumstances.
Nigel plans of leaving Africa Monday so you should just leave the area instead of risking the chance getting killed.

If you had 10 bombers, yes. Two bombers, not gonna work. It will work fine if the enemy's attention is engaged in a duel. Above all, it's a hell of alot more impressive a strategy than crossing your fingers you don't get shot in the back. I mean Nader can go with whatever strategy he wants, but there is a flaw in yours from a survival point of view: All aerial forces will slaughter you. Now, bombers are no match for fighters, but they will do heavy damage to ground forces and will tie up aerial forces for a bit, hopefully long enough for Nader to vacate the area, with or without the MS. Nader, if you don't make it, or your unit is destroyed, (which given your options is quite possible no matter what you do), both the core booster and G-armor are great choices. The core fighter is an amazing fighter, and space capable if needed, and the G-armor is atmosphere capable, has luna titanium armor, and other units can ride it like a dodai. |

I may have convinced Jack Verse to ambush one of the Zeeks, therefore me and Thorvald have less to worry about.
Also vacate is not an option as if I do leave, I'll get ambushed as ambushes come before travel actions, right?

Yes, ambushes do come before travel actions.
No offense Latooni, I understand why you find your bomber strategy appealing, but it will not work withing the context of this game.

Personally, I plan on going into overwatch tomorrow. I want to buy either a Type 61 or a Dish so I can see any enemies coming. My reasoning is that, if I were in the Zeon position, I would mass attack the Blue Destiny since it has the potential to do a fuck ton of damage and I'd want to keep it out of commission as long as possible.
