Well, to start early, I'd like to open discussions about how we should go about taking out the first resupply fleet while we're in South America. As it stands, here is what the two resupply fleets consist of:
EFGF 1st Resupply Fleet (Columbia):
Escort
Picasso
Class: lvl6/5 Medea Revised (Matilda)
Ship State: OK
- 2x lvl2 Tin Cod, 2x lvl3 Tin Cod
8x lvl2 Tin Cod
1x lvl2 Dish (D)
Convoy
Ushakov
Class: Medea B Type (R)
Ship State: OK
- 500 RP
- 1x Marines
Newton
Class: Medea B Type (R)
Ship State: OK
- 500 RP
- 1x Marines
Michealangelo
Class: Medea B Type (R)
Ship State: OK
- 500 RP
- 1x Marines
Leonardo
Class: Medea B Type (R)
Ship State: OK
- 500 RP
- 1x Marines
EFGF 2nd Resupply Fleet (Strait of Magellan):
Escort
Raphael
Class: lvl6/5 Medea Revised (Woody)
Ship State: OK
- 2x lvl2 Tin Cod, 2x lvl3 Tin Cod
8x lvl2 Tin Cod
1x lvl2 Dish (D)
Convoy
Sibelius
Class: Medea B Type (R)
Ship State: OK
- 500 RP
- 1x Marines
Itten
Class: Medea B Type (R)
Ship State: OK
- 500 RP
- 1x Marines
Shakespeare
Class: Medea B Type (R)
Ship State: OK
- 500 RP
- 1x Marines
Poe
Class: Medea B Type (R)
Ship State: OK
- 500 RP
- 1x Marines
As you can see, their forces are identical, so striking either doesn't matter too much besides the quarry of grabbing Matilda. Anyhow. We're going up against 5 Medeas and 12 Tin Cods, 4 of them which are leveled. To deal with a mainly airbone convoy, I suggest we send in our fleets Dopps and Gunship Hellis first and then follow suit with the rest of our forces. As extra insurance, we can always spend 100 RP and grab Flight Support if need be.
Flight Support
Scouting fighter formations can often be called into a combat zone if a pilot is lucky enough, patrols aiding an existing battle.
-
- Effect: 1 support choice from either of the following lists.
- Earth: 5x Dopp, 2x Dopp & 1x Luggun, 3x Gunship Heli, 6x Magella, 4x Marine & 4x Weasel
- Space: 5x Gattle, 4x Marine & 1x Shuttle
- Cost: 100 RP
Now during the fight, the 4 convoy Medeas have 1 x Marines in each of them. If we can somehow get Ritter with his Panzergrenadiers on board of each of them, I think his troops can easily dispose of them from the inside. If anything, Matilda's Medea to help forward our idea of having her captured.
Overall though, I think sending in the aircraft first (optional Flight Support) will distract and scramble their fighters enough so the rest of the fleet can engage from the ground. Now I am aware we have two Gaws in our fleet. Maybe we can utalize their airbone capabilities to assist some of our grounded MS and get them into the fight and closer. That's what this thread is about though, to open up minds about the up-coming battle and get as much input and tactics gathered as possible.
