This is complication that could occur - we may have gone over this before, but hopefully it shouldn't affect us that much this time.

It'd kind of be a New Amsterdam situation if the paradrop prevented our assault -- meaning it wouldn't cancel out the attacks, I assume. So at best, Archer paradrops the main force before it divides, and gets slaughtered. Or he ends up doing what we're expecting, and paradrops one of the two fleets.
The only other hole I'm worried about is the possibility of Rhett or Persephone or Noelle getting hit by patrols when they leave the fleet. Doesn't seem like that can happen, since fleets aren't considered a second location, and therefor none of the MS teams are "reentering" South America. We've been hurt by technicalities before, but it'd be a real stretch if they got intercepted by patrols...

Dan mentioned the same thing in chat a few minutes ago, we're definitely going to check with Ketara on it but as far as I know they should be safe. |

Just asked Ketara - according to him, people who disembark from fleets in enemy territory are not subject to patrols.
So we are a go. ^_^

I think we can declare Tuesday a success. We took minor damage overall (Dragon was the worst-affected, now listed as Heavily Damaged) - slight repairs to most PCs, and the loss of Dopps in Fleet Support positions.
In return, we forced the battered Resupply Fleets to merge into one, and ended the night with 2500 RP in RP credits. Hooray!
Now it seems we are posed with the challenge of confronting the 87th head-on. I'm gonna put a thread up discussing that issue on the Command board shortly, hopefully we can work something satisfactory out before Thursday's update.
