So Turn 1 is finally written. Some things was expected and others are still waiting to develop.
North Field: Holding strong. Delaz is being cautious while the ZEF is moving up to reinforce. According to the text, we identified the main Federal push. Most of our reinforcements were sent here in Turn 1.
West Field: The Solar Ray fired with the anticipated effect. Blex is taking control and for the moment the forces at W Field are unengaged. Yoritomo has yet to fight here and his key opponent is the Invincible 3rd and the RX-78-1.
East Field: The Feds are advancing slowly. Isaiah and Jim did a surprise attack on the ships which should earn us some breathing space.
South Field: The Feds are advancing slowly here as well. We have no PCs here but I asked for Junichi Ghettid (Kampfer) and Ray Walker (Gattle) to move to S Field. Not sure who made it.
We still have Olivia in Reserve since she didn't make it to the deadline. We can keep her in Reserve or move her to South Field.
Our best hope here is to annihilate the bulk of the Federal force at N Field then double back to the Reserve sector.
I have no orders for players at this time. We can move some of the MS from A Bao A Qu's hangar to the fields. South and East Field seem to need the most help.
Opinions? Suggestions? Ideas?

I share a different opinion on E Field.
The situation there appears to be a bit more dire than we would have hoped. The Dolos, the field's main vessel, has fallen and I believe that the two remaining vessels will most likely fall by the end of Turn 2. If this comes to pass then by Turn 3, all enemy ships in E Field will begin their attack on our reserve.
This could mean the end of the battle unless Johnny Ridden, the two Gwazines, and our remaining forces are able to cut through them fast enough to reduce their number below our own. There's not much we can do about this. The ZEF fleet has apparently already left the reserve; this would have been our best bet at countering the Titans.
We do, however, have an important choice to make here:
Knowing that the reserve is about to come under attack, do we begin moving what we can to other fields to shore up escape routes or do we give them the greatest chance to repel their attackers by leaving everything be?

best case scenario, we can re-fire the Solar....ray/system, whichever is ours, at East.
Second best: We end the battle in North in the next two turns. Not gonna happen with Mr. Ray fucking around, but a girl can dream
What do we have in reserve?

Should I continue fighting for another turn or re-supply? These fuel rules have me confused.

Alright.
But we should send the bulk of the base's MS to E Field, assuming we can't stop them using alternative means.

Not sure how I missed that.
Ketara didn't update anything so I don't know our exact numbers right now.
In this case, we should keep everyone where they are. Or we can move some MS from A Bao A Qu to East Field. There are only two ships in East Field right now, the Musai and Chivvay. It will take another turn for them to destroy those two ships. I also think we took down a few Salamis in that battle.
The earliest that the ZEF ships can return to the Reserve Field is next turn. If we turn back now, Delaz's line will crumble to the main assault in N Field. So we should stay for this turn and hopefully Chris and Hans can use the Solar System to wipe out enough of the N Field Feds so that Delaz and the ZEF can mop up this turn and move back to the Reserve Sector next turn.
I know this sounds like I'm saying "let's do nothing", but we don't have ships we can throw into E Field. MS sent there may be sacrificed to let the PCs return to the Reserve area.

Also, Kuriboh and I have something to discuss about.
In private.

God save my soul, Kycillia killed Gihren Zabi and it is nearing the end. Now just to wait for Char to work his magic.

Son of a bitch! Why Kuriboh?
...is there any way I can kill Aurem ANYHOW? Because frankly, I don't think Banks gives much of a rat's ass as to the consequences of it.
