VP isn't the only indicator of success. Face it, he took advantage of an area that hasn't seen much use in the RPG yet. And now it's something that will be taken into account and can never be done again.

Frenzy and Yoritomo, please don't be too upset.
I mean
#1 - You guys lost the ship due to a pretty obvious tactical oversight. Latooni's plan was oddball and crazy, and wouldn't have worked had you simply had the Marines defending the ship. There is evidence that you should have infantry defending your ships all around you. Be it the fact that this sort of shit happens in Gundam, to the fact that the OYW Tactics post says infantry are for boarding actions, to the fact that space ships have infantry slots, to the fact that every single NPC EF/Zeon space battleship has its infantry compliment full of Marines, to the fact that I know you're all sci-fi nerds and have watched Battlestar Galactica, Star Wars or Star Trek and seen this sort of thing in action, and to the fact that Dan has tried to do this on Earth like five times now.
#2 - It is not really such a crippling blow. Yes you guys lost the Gwazine and the Pazock, but the EF lost a Pegasus, 3 Salamis, a Columbus, and two lvl5 GM E's, which cost more than a Salamis does. Considering that that's about 7,000 RP in losses, even capturing your ship they didn't come out all that much better off than you, logistically.
#3 - You guys are in a much better position than them today, since they lost all of their mobile suits, both their ships are beat up pretty bad, and 800 of their 1000 RP is tied up in Aku who is not very active. You have very reasonable chances at an effective counterattack today, depending on what goes down.
I understand that you might feel a little dumb/upset for losing your flagship you've been saving up for due to a really simple mistake, but that's the way the game rolls sometimes. You had a weakness, and the enemy side took advantage of it.

To be honest, having really been the first one to use infantry in OYW (see: last run), I always thought there was a contingent of people/soldiers already in things. I mean, it IS a military vessel, after all.
Also, I didn't read the event.

No one is going to board a Medea Jojo, stop trying to make this about you.
Also considering a Pegasus died before Odessa, I don't see why Zeon is so sad.

Yeah, it was a pretty painful but extremely satisfying victory; and yes, my plan hinged entirely on the fact that you guys would think that trying this was so stupid that you'd never bother buying the infantry in the first place.
