Okay, folks!
Due to the latest post on the Zeon Broadcasting thread, "SAF, MAF space and SS space members may not participate" may not participate in Jaburo.
This sucks because it means we cannot help our comrades on the ground.
The good news is that we are only in +1DE instead of all the way in Earth Orbit.
Therefore, our new target is Bollocks Fleet. Attacking Luna II Defense Fleet is a bad idea because Bollocks can just move in on the same update we attack it.
I propose we move back into +2DE (while dummy ballooning Luna II Def). Someone needs to Overwatch though.
I predict Bollocks making one of four options: 1) Attack Purgatorio or a Zeon Fleet, 2) Patrol action against us returning, 3) Following us into +1DE, or 4) wait for us while overwatching.
If they do option #1, us moving back into +2DE will find them damaged. They could pull our "Cygnus Fleet Escape" trick from when we kill Blex but then we can just move down to Side 5 and take Texas Colony.
If they do option #2, we might hit their patrol and our overwatch would put the fight in our advantage.
If they do option #3, Purgatorio is now in Side 5 and we are one step ahead of them to hit Texas Colony. Plus they would have to nudge past Helsing Fleet with dummy balloons.
If they do option #4, I can buy a mobile armor straight off on Monday as we attack. I'm considering a purely MS assault team based attack, much like the carrier battles in the Pacific theater of war in WWII.
Opinions? Questions? Thoughts? It's late and I'll put up a stat by stat comparison of our two fleets in the morning.

I'm a little annoyed that we're being deined a chance to redeem ourselves for not being there during Odessa, but this is the ground force's last hurrah, so I guess I can't be too unhappy.
But if we do attack, we go for their Magellans first since those are their heaviest hitters.

Okay, so apparently they took out Conscon Fleet while taking some losses themselves. We're back at +2DE at full strength. The only downside is that much of their stuff is level 2 material. Their PC's are half VP at least.
Let's hear some attack plans.

I find it hard to believe he ignored us and Purgatorio in order to attack Conscon. But we should be on guard since either an Overwatch or running into the Tianem/Ohm fleet seems likely.
But the #3 plan we were going to use on Tiananem seems like a good plan, or we can use our Balloons to keep our approach hidden while we use our ships and Kuriboh to shred those Magellans. Or....we could go to Side 5 and attack Texas ourselves and draw them out, since from the looks of it, they tried joining one of the remaining Barrier fleets last time.
But how soon can we spawn those Musais at Purgatorio?
Also, is it possible to use Balloons to block someone from entering a fleet/distract the fleet so we can get at Bollocks without as much risk?

No space-Jim makes me a sad panda. But other than that, can't we use Kuriboh's last plan once more, making them go PEW PEW PEW PEW-firey death? It worked so nicely the last time.

it's a matter of predictability. We've used that on bollocks once, so they'd be wary of chasing us into a shoal zone again.

You know, I wonder if we can position ourselves between Bollocks and either Ohm or Tianem Fleet. Then we can use the Dummy Balloons to "fake fleet" swarm them.

I'm not sure I like the idea of putting us inbetween their fleets like that. Makes it too easy for a crossfire/pincer attack.

Anyhow, unless there was an error, looks like we'll be able to take Texas fairly easily, though we should be careful since they might buy some GMs to damage us or whatever.

I'm all for the Texas Colony attack. The Musais in Side 5 are going to join us as well.
I want to divide up the assault to different teams. Each team will be lead by a player and tasked with accomplishing an objective for taking over the colony.
I'm going to be out for most of the day, so I appreciate it if you guys call dibs and what nots while I'm gone. I will be back in time for the deadline.

I'm going to send my e-mail in early since I'll be headed to a concert and might not be back in time for the deadline.
I'll lead the first team, though I'll just put in that I'm following your plan since I really don't think I'll be back before it's too late.

I think it's safe to assume that I have enough firepower to get rid of the door, yes? I do have a ship-class gun on my mobile suit.
I'll take a position on the assault team.

Okay good job kids, pretty good job this week.
We took out their Magellan, some GMs, and Blackmage's character. We also took over Texas Colony so now Blackmage can't use his money until he respawns. Texas Colony is also worth 120 RP a week since it seems like we captured it intact. We didn't suffer any damages from it either.
So, since today (Saturday) is an update day with a midnight (Ketara's time) deadline, I would like all of the ZEF to spar. This includes:
Caleb DeGrau
Florian Cuyler
Emil Myberg
Felix Mendalshon
Richard Banks
Junichi Ghettid
Yoritomo Naizen
Veronica Wu
Anya Wilds
Olivia Baklitskaia
Yes, I'll be participating in the spar also. We're on a colony so our repair will be reduced and quite frankly, if we can't be at Jaburo, we might as well party it up here in space.
Next week we hit Tianem, buy some Asteroid Rocket Clusters for the Asteroid Mines (the EFSF split into two fleets. One is at +1DE and the other is at +3DE), and another Musai.
Let's get cracking folks!
