Tactical Insursion "B.O.O.B." on these boards, Operation "Storm" if you wish to refer to it in character, please.
Basically this is going to be a one-time assault on Belfast that is tentatively scheduled for next Tuesday or Wednesday (Week 7 in-game) to capture the last EF-held territory in Europe. The actual date, cost, and personnel are only estimated, and are subject to change based on these variables.
Here is what we are looking at (based on my analysis):

So I think that's about it. Basically, just like last time, we would like you guys to post ideas or suggestions about this plan on this thread, as well as any concerns about it and also IF you plan to participate.
It's important that we get the dialogue on this going rather fast, but as always if you guys wouldn't mind moving to either Malta or Europe, and send me ( or Kale or Zero or Chris) any spare RP you have, that would help a lot.

As you can see, if everything on this list was accomplished (as far as purchases and personnel), the following is evident:
- Mobile Suits - we have roughly double their mobile suits.
- Tanks - We are roughly equal on tanks.
- Aircraft - They have roughly double our aircraft.
- Ships - We have more (and better trained) ships in general.
Therefore, the strategy would look something like this:
- Dobday forces and fleet support approach from southern end of city, Gaws drop troops on northern end of city. Gaw Recon Type masks approach, Dopp aircraft attempt to escort Gaws to drop zones.
- Mobile suits and tanks advance on respective north and south installations using guerrilla warfare tactics. Artillery units are to open fire on Howitzers, Targeting Facility (using Luggun and Gaw Recon data) as a priority, and change firing positions often. Other mobile suits are to serve as point defense for the artillery and tanks.
- Gaws are to serve as aerial escort to Gaw Recon Type and ground suppression, using bombs and MPC's aggressively. Dopps are to defend Gaw Recon as a priority, and hunt down Don Escargots.
- Jukon forces are to approach. Z'gok is to clear a path through underwater minefield with Freeze Yard, and Goggs are to amphibiously assault southern facilities. Panzergrenadiers and Gunship Heli are to capture or destroy Hillock battleship, and Jukon is to assault Himalaya aircraft carrier and surface for artillery bombardment on base (using Gaw Recon and Luggun data).
So I think that's about it. Basically, just like last time, we would like you guys to post ideas or suggestions about this plan on this thread, as well as any concerns about it and also IF you plan to participate.
It's important that we get the dialogue on this going rather fast, but as always if you guys wouldn't mind moving to either Malta or Europe, and send me ( or Kale or Zero or Chris) any spare RP you have, that would help a lot.
