The Pacific-
Something is up considering the number of Zeon PC's trying to get in there not to mention the fleet that's already there. My guess is that they're going to try and hit the naval convoy to get those RP credits.
Strategy-
Thursday 1/7: Jojo's two Medeas and myself move to the Pacific.
Friday 1/8: Jojo buys another Medea to reform his fleet, restocks, we purchase a couple flight supports and attack the Zeek fleet. Primary target is the Recon Gaw.
The interesting thing will be whether they attack the Naval Convoy on Thursday or wait for more PC's (Aldo Armistad among others) and attack on Friday.
If they attack on Thursday they'll probably handle the convoy pretty easily considering they'll have air superiority and will be able to take out all the Snails to keep their subs safe. But they may also sustain some damage making it easier for us when we hit them on Friday.
If they wait till Friday we'll attack them as they attack the convoy meaing that the convoy will have fewer losses but our PC forces will face a stronger force and most likely have higher losses.
Our advantge comes with the fact that this battle should be taking place in the open ocean making it difficult for regualr MS to deploy. Regular Zeon MS will have to ride Dodais that can be shot out by our fighters. Doms, although capable of skating across the water, will sink quickly if the jets on their legs are shot up. This is a double edged sword though as none of our PC MS will be able to deploy effectively, that's why I'd limit this to Jojo and myself.
If for some reason their fleet vacates the Pacific we would still be able to paradrop on them.

Feyd, I love you for saving me the time and that you agree 100%. |

The EFGF 3rd Naval Convoy OF COURSE! I forgot those things existed! I was wondering why they would be massing in the Pacific when Honolulu could send them packing.
Anyway if I was them I'd attack now rather then later, waiting would bring the wrath of the EF on their heads in the middle of an assault and that wouldn't end well. Either way you guys will be able to catch them though, and for once advantage us.

I think they want us to bring the 87th out of the West Arctic by this move in order for them to make a push into the West Arctic. I don't really feel like moving it however, as I really like keeping their fleet fairly contained currently.

I agree, the Convoy isn't worth letting their fleet get out of NA for.

I really, really approve of this. Ugh, this would be so much easier with my aquatic team! =/

I do approve of this strategy, though I would like to know what the 87th is going to be doing. I don't like that we have half a dozen PC's just sitting in West Arctic hoping somebody comes by.

Well sparring is really your only option, because keeping the same number of Zeeks bottled up in NA is definitely worth it.

I say let them out. Ketara said it was getting boring on Earth, and I agree. If they want to sit there and stockpile, or wait us out, or whatever it is they are doing, then why not let them? Hit them somewhere it'll hurt and be proactive for a change, rather than reactive. Maybe I'm the only one that thinks sitting in the arctic, waiting and sparring is boring and terrible for character growth though. If that's the case then I'll just shutup and color.

Your welcome to do what you want but I predict they'll try to break out soon.

I would say their split fleet is probably for the reasons listed. The mobile group will attack stuff, and try to lure us out, then the ground fleet with take New Amsterdam. I think we need to stock Amsterdam with its own stuff fairly soon so the fleet isn't necessary to keep it from dying.
Personally, I'd like to see our fleet go take out Archangelisk. I think we're capable with what forces we have, though a few more GM Divers would help out with the current composition...

Seconded, capturing Archangelisk would restrict Zeon's sea related movement even more and help prepare for Odessa. |

I can definitely see how that would be a useful thing to do, currently I don't mind the whole fleet being bottled up in the West Arctic. We have more dead people then they do, getting them back into the fight for us will be very helpful.

Yeah you should at least wait for Aleksei to upgrade before attempting any assault with the ships.
