Ehh, bad news the weather's bad for flying in the Atlantic, North America, and Pacific all areas where I thought we may do some fighting.
This may mean a change of plans, I don't want to get caught in a battle where we can't use our planes.
Perhaps we could have the 87th and 42nd switch missions?
On Monday, the 87th could move to the West Arctic and the 42nd could move to the Atlantic. This would give the illusion that we were both moving to challenge Zeon in North America. The 87th could then move into the Pacific and onto Australia while the 42nd lingers in the Atlantic or moves to counter any zeon advances.
I would not try to directly engage the Zeon fleet with the 42nd, instead just trying to protect targets of interest (New York, Atlantic Naval convoy, EFGF Resupply fleet).
This may work better since Hughendon is a non-coastal ground base and the 87th is a strictly ground based fleet. The LLG could possibly have problems supporting aircraft launched against a non-coastal base.
We could always shuffle some PC's as needed but I think this is a good plan. Let me know what you think.

I would say that we should keep with our same plans, if I was to engage there with the 42nd, we would have almost the same sort of issues. Heavy Fog doesn't effect high altitude stuff as well so it would separate out their Gaw, which would be nice.

I mean, I don't have much besides and airforce either, either one of us put against the winds and or fog doesn't help us that much.

I think may have made the wrong decision moving the 87th into North America... ughh
We may just have to move out tomorrow but we'll see what the situation looks like.

Well if Chris takes New York he is going to destroy it, making it a ruin.I was under the assumption that it would not necessarily be destroyed. This will make all of North America Zeon held after the weekend meaning they can spend their vast sums of RP outside a base.
I also don't know that if I did choose to siege the base tomorrow if I'll be able to prevent their fleet and PC's from moving off the base.
All is not lost, it's just that we are not in as advantageous of a situation as I thought we were. I'll probably have to overwatch or pull out to the Atlantic tomorrow depending on what the situation looks like. What I may do is have a Medea fleet break off and support you guys at Hughendon with some more MS but we'll see.
We need to get Sakura active so we can have some sort of African Operation.

Alright Jojo, I’m going to tell you what we’re going to do. I made a mistake getting us stuck in North America so we’re going to have to do some adjusting.
As you probably know, I do not agree with your idea to buy a Gray Phantom. However, since you and your crew our pretty set on it I’m not going to waste my time arguing with you over it. Go ahead and buy your Phantom.
That being said, if you are going to buy a Phantom you will not be able to take Hughendon in the reasonably near future. It doesn’t matter how awesome the Phantom is you simply do not have enough MS to do it right now. Furthermore, using the LLG to hit a non-coastal base just doesn’t make sense.
That being said the 87th is perfectly outfitted to take Hughendon. I also have a lot of PC’s who have not seen much real action since Odessa who NEED this kind of fight to keep morale among the ranks. I cannot risk attacking Chris. He is going to go on overwatch today and buy a lot of stuff for his fleet. We would also have to move onto New York to get him meaning that we will still be in North America when it turns to Zeon-held next Monday. That would be BAD as they could use all that RP to throw huge amounts of NPC stuff at us.
So here’s what we’re going to do.
87th is going to move to the Pacific today on its way to Australia to hit Hughendon when it gets there.
42nd is going to switch course to more of a Defensive posture in the Atlantic for the time being until we see Chris's next move. I don't care how you get there, might as well move through North/South Africa and crush some patrols on your way.
Chris is going to want to hit our remaining supply fleets after this. We cannot let him do this and get even more RP then us. I now believe it was a mistake to give up on Naval Power so much after Odessa. For the time being we could have your fleet join up with the 1st Naval Convoy. This would let us act like we’re protecting it while still being able to protect the 1st Resupply fleet in South America using paradrops with the Phantom and some Medeas.
I know you won’t want to switch roles for the time being like this but quite frankly the 42nd is and will be after buying a Phantom much better suited to Naval and Paradrop operations than the 87th.
We will need to discuss this so I’ll be in the chat most of today.

Jojo: sorta
Feyd: busy at work?
Jojo: yes
Feyd: do you know when you'll have time to chat?
Jojo: spew away
Feyd: well I pretty much spewed on the forums
- 10:45 -
Jojo: they have a captured hillock
Jojo: that is in North America today
Jojo: we could kill that today easy
Feyd: I'm having Strikey do that
Jojo: we attacking New York with everything else?
Feyd: did you read what I posteed in the forum?
Jojo: no matter what I do
Jojo: it will take way too freaking long
Jojo: for the 42nd to get there
Feyd: not really
Feyd: it takes Chris a couple of days to turn around
Jojo: yeah but he is weak now!
- 10:50 -
Feyd: but he will overwatch today
Feyd: and spend RP
Jojo: seige him and then he can't purchase
Jojo: ?
Feyd: I need to ask Ket about that
Feyd: I think he may still be able to purchase today if I siege
Jojo: It still should be neutral territory today
Feyd: but I see him spending the majority of his RP today anyway
Feyd: he is on a compound
Jojo: as the territory shouldn't have changed to Zeon Controlled till the end of a week
Jojo: and ruins don't count as compounds
Feyd: are you sure?
Jojo: nevermind
Jojo: I think they can
Jojo: which seems interesting
- 10:56 -
Jojo: you could still seige today, and then I could move the 42nd to intercept?
Feyd: I donno that you could get there in time
Jojo: would have to hold out 3 updates
Feyd: you would have to make it through patrols too
Jojo: that wouldn't be an issue
Jojo: with a fleet of our size
Feyd: it would prevent you from paradropping
Jojo: not orbital dropping!
Jojo: :-P
Jojo: and I could be there in 2
Jojo: :-)
Jojo: seige today, climb to earth orbit!
Jojo: then assualt tomorrow with you!
Jojo: :-)
Feyd: can you move to orbit without a Spaceport?
Jojo: with a pegasus you can.
Jojo: !
Jojo: :-)
Feyd: are you positive
Jojo: 100%
Feyd: if so we will do that
Jojo: its part of why they are bad ass
Jojo: :-)
Feyd: where does it say that
Jojo: (O) class ships and mobile suits can move from Earth Orbit to any Location or Compound on Earth. They must use spaceports to return to Earth Orbit.
Jojo:
Jojo: Ships with M Craft systems can move to Earth Orbit from any Location or Compound on Earth freely.
Jojo: on the maps page
Jojo: pegasus has m craft systems
- 11:01 -
Feyd: okay we will do that then
Jojo: and you were against my gray phantom :-P
Feyd: I would also move the rest of the 42nd to North Africa
Feyd: on it's way to the Atlantic
Jojo: could just go to the antartic
Jojo: and avoid damages?
Feyd: Well you could tear up some patrols
Feyd: but idc
Feyd: your call
Jojo: will think about it
Feyd: We just need the LLG to protect that naval convoy
Jojo: yeah
Jojo: the SS fleet
Feyd: okay
Feyd: that sounds good
Jojo: is broken up
Feyd: I will siege then
Jojo: so
Feyd: they may try to move the subs out today
Feyd: but we'll see

Sent in my email for tomorrow already, here it is:
Attack:
Orange Base -> Orbital Drop F-Force
Purchase:
1 x Flight Support (Don Escargot) = 75 / 2 = 38 RP
1 x Artillery Support (Free Logistics) = 38 + 0 = 38 RP
1 x Artillery Support = 100 / 2 + 38 = 88 RP
Remaining RP: 99 - 88 = 11 RP
Movement:
42nd Brigade -> Atlantic

You have to orbital drop on a compound, that being New York rather than a fleet. It says so in the rules.
Better change that part but everything else looks good.
