Targets of Enemy: Europe: Archangelisk, Constantinople > Odessa East Asia: Lhasa > Baikonour N. America: New York > California Base Earth Orbit> Odessa
Ummm, honestly, part of me thinkss we should set up at New York and Lhasa, or first instinct does. But I know we're wanting to hit Belfast. which may salvage Archangelisk and Constantinople.
We need Chan to mobilize to Earth's Orbit... honestly... and split our forces up accordingly. I know at New york last run, Tian and I both went to New york, as top pilots for Federation, everyone else tended to Europe and Odessa...
I want Xavier at Odessa, its SS' headquarter's for Earth, no reason IC Marina and he would not be there. I don't have a lot of input on this til we see the last update completed, but we need to discuss and decide what we're doing soon...

As much as I would like to say that I want to be at Odessa, it depends on what happens between us and the EFSF between now and then.
The best we can do is deny the EFSF's presence at Earth Orbit.

We'll try our best to be there, but the situation may keep us from helping, so don't count on us unless the space situation improves drastically.
Perhaps installing those nuclear self-destruct options in some of these bases would blunt the enemy's advance...

Yeah, get the EFGF to beg the EFSF for help in Earth Orbit.

Though from the looks of the current situation, we won't be able to help unless we can reverse the situation here.
Don't know how, but we will somehow.

Another note, I will not be tolerating this...
Gaplant, Zero, some one, I'm sorry, but I feel you've picked a pretty crappy person to pull weight as y'alls assistant/officer candidate or whatever. While it may be true that I've toyed with idea of switching sides after Odessa (Which its looking like I won't be doing now for several reasons, and even though reasons I wanted to are still big glaring problems) I had planned on putting full effort into our operations. I would never dream of screw y'all over or holding out on y'all. And Draco's comments, will not be tolerated.
Gaplant, you're gonna have to do something, or take responsibility away from him cuz that is unacceptable if you ask me...
____
In terms of Belfast, I feel before we commit to that, as much as I was gung ho for that, we need to pull planning for that from the side board onto here and weigh our options. Dan makes a point in regards to hitting them after they've spent their side RP to fortify their shit. we'd do most damage then. So, lets take a day or two to regroup and look into this. Belfast this week, may not be best idea. I can get behind Malta as a massive attack, but we need to consider our options.

OOPS. I'm an officer now.
My reasoning for not taking the Zanzibar to Odessa is that it's not as effective an airship as a Gaw, not that I think someone is going to hold out. The Zanzibar's got better armor though, now that I compare their profiles, with better speed and sensors too, so it wouldn't be all bad having it at Odessa.
I think it'd be better to hold the Zanzibar at Baikonour so we could preserve it as a resource in future Orbit Drop operations, but if you've got a good reason for having it at Odessa, then I'll be happy to send it there.

Take your time. I've got family over and we're going to San Diego from 9 AM to probably past the action deadline.

The Zanzibar Factor.
I had a pretty boring day at work, and brought up using the Zanzibar at Odessa because Draco was hesitant to let it participate. I think I have possibly three scenarios that would be pretty favorable if we were to deploy a pair or more of Zanzibars *Max 3*
All three ideas are generalized, just to put them out there, get some thought going on what we can do. When and if we decide on which one we prefer, can move to flush it out and detail that plan.
And no matter which one we go with, the ships would be able to assist in Orbit if we can get the SAF there to lend a hand, so we could win the battle on that front too >.>
Scenario A: Flank 'Em As Dan and I were talking, there should be three fronts, two land, one sea. This could go 1 of 2 ways, either a Ship behind each front with reinforcements, or a pair of ships (trio if affordable) behind the larger of the fronts to take them from behind.
Scenario B: White Base! Drop a pair of Zanzibars behind White Base once its position has been discovered, have maybe a few PCs accompany this one, preferably Ritter, and maybe Rose (Let the newtype fight Amuro) Unless Ando wants Amuro >.> and put Hans on one of the Zanzibars to use Infiltrate and Terrorist Contact to get onto White Base and disable engines or blow hole in side for Ritter to make his way on there...
Scenario C: Counter Attack The idea here is that we forgo attacking Belfast now, maybe take out Malta, and then regroup, and react to their fleets that deploy, striking at them as they're leaving bases, etc. Hitting their forces after their side RP for the events have been spent, ideally.
With a pair or trio of Zanzibars, I thought maybe we could entertain idea of counter attack while they deploy their forces towards Odessa, to have a team attack Belfast. I mean, honestly, we're suppose to lose Odessa, so if we can't find a way to win, maybe this might be best course of action. I know there are flaws :-p but still. And I dunno if Ket would allow this particular scenario either...

The idea of flanking them should be used on the weakest front I think. The Zanzibar itself isn't godly in any respect, and we need to look at the fronts while we can to determine which one has less of the sniper threat to it. With that in mind we'll likely have two Gundams, one in the water and one on the ground, I would go out and say those two fronts would be the stronger of the ones we would face. Between most of our unit's ineffectivity in the water and the prototype warship White Base they will be difficult to overcome. Removing the sniper threat on the 3rd weak front and then flanking them from behind would allow us to re-situate our defending forces to the remaining two fronts, but also provide an attack from the side on White base itself.

Possibly disposing of that front and moving Troops to White base with the Zanzibars? o.O Aspalus could escort the ships as well.

It just came to my attention that he Chivvay II-class Azrael can possibly transit the distance from +2DE to Odessa without being molested.
The only other EFSF asset in the way is the Columbus II-class ship Boss Borot at Luna II. If we can get reinforcements to +0DE to help see it through, then we should be fine.
Please note that the Chivvay II is "Severely Damaged" and it'll need two days at Odessa to fully repair before it goes up to Earth Orbit again.

I'm reluctant to expose it to any serious danger in its current condition, and the EFSF might send one of their fleets back to pick up the Phantom, and I'd rather not run the risk of them taking my ship out in the process.
