After Odessa: EFGF

You can switch out of your Sniper but Arieta can't.

I'd say Jaburo for one. Other then that it's back to our usual hi jinks, attacking bases or trying to out maneuver the Zeeks. You know what I'd like? To reenact the end of Rise From the Ashes (siege Hughendon really.)

In space there's Solomon, and A Baoa Qu. I think those guys are going to need everything we can give them to beat Chan's economic war machine.

I like the way the groups are set up if no one is going to space right now we should stick with these, nice names too.

These groups are looking pretty good.

I would suggest that you are a leader for one of the groups though, Threid, since you are currently one of the most active members and are very good at communicating with other members.

After taking a look at our current groups listing, I think we follow this fairly well, with the notable exception of detector units and transports, which would have to be bought by each group. Other than that, a bit of minor shuffling around of personnel should satisfy your requirements.

Update! One of the other things I've been meaning to do is create a similar spreadsheet for fleets, to keep track of who and what is where. This will make things easier for us when we need to look something up, and easier for Ketara when he needs to update fleet/roster information.

Also, feel free to give feedback on the EFGF Personnel worksheet I posted earlier, with suggestions for additions, subtractions, or modifications. The Excel version should be up later tonight.

Not every mission we have remaining here on Earth will require, in this case, artillery. As I said before, simple NPC mobile suits will cover that factor that doesn't really require a PC's touch while other PC's are utilizing their best sources. If we get strong leaders, capable of planning and handling their missions, we honestly shouldn't need much shuffling around, if we need any at all.



To be honest, I did consider what you said while I was making this list. I did, in all seriousness, factor in splitting up having at least one person cover one specific field. There is nothing wrong with having a good, well-rounded team.

But then I realized the following:

1) Bases in Zeon territory are going to be extra fortified right after Odessa because the forces here will probably be sticking around for a little bit, focusing on beefing up their bases and, of course repairing. Having specific groups that focus one on simple tasks works well to attack the bases hard and to do what it is we need it to do quickly.

2) Having a main goal for a mobile suit unit prevents us from sitting around with our dicks in our hands, waiting, gathering people from different areas. Thus preventing us from having to draw from certain areas for certain people who can do certain things and gathering them all in one place with the risk that a patrol prevents one vital person from appearing. That way, if they're all hit in a patrol, they can all handle each other.

So, as a example, Feyd needs a water-side base assault with some Guerrilla warfare from the other side of the base attacks on the land towards the other side.

Bamb. Send in the hit'n'runners and Aqua Team. Hopefully we win and everyone moves about their lives.

They all have strength in what they do, they can do the one specific job they do well. It also keeps within that list you made at the beginning of this thread.

3) The weaknesses of the group can be easily be taken care of with NPC units. Or transfers, if the case calls for it. Besides, as Threid already pointed out, most of the mobile suits on each time cover your guidelines quite well in addition to my own specifications.

For now, and this is just directly after Odessa, if we keep this style of grouping, we can be sure to help eliminate a good portion of Zeon forces while they are still licking their wounds. Once we do some damage with these very specific groups, we can all meet together at Jaburo or wherever and split up the groups again to a more well-rounded group setting.




Isn't that what we're supposed to be?



As I said, it'd be a utter waste of time to determine NPC units and roles while a major event where we could all very well die in a nuclear blast is going on. PC survivability can be more assumed, as well as whatever it is they're piloting.


In any case, I do understand where you are coming from and do respect your tactical knowledge. I just really want us to come up strong right after Odessa, should we win. If we succeed, there won't be much else left for the EF to take care of but Space.

In other words, I'd much rather work with you than against you.

So, for right now, just ignore this thread, finish the planning of your war, and we'll discuss more about what to do after Odessa when you're done.

California or Alexandria are the most interesting targets imo.

I think immediately following Odessa we should do a massive scouting campaign of Zeon targets though.
