This is what we are going to be up against. A couple of things strike me so far:
- Anti-sub presence is weaker than expected, comparable to Malta. I recommend use of Jukons and Goggs with "Freeze Yard" to stage an amphibious assault during the battle.
- Status of base as an urban fortress means we may be able to shell the base rather effectively, using buildings as cover.
