I believe that before the crash, we were looking at Jdvn1 and Rhun each taking one of the Fast TFs, shadowbloodmoon taking the 506th TF, Widowmaker taking one of the Battle TFs, and then I would probably be with the 502nd TF. How does that sound?

 

[shadowbloodmoon]

Works for me. Even though Kellon is not an Admiral, having command of the task force where his men are stationed comes in very handy....

I'm getting anxious to post my first turn, as I'm not sure what it should look like. Not that there is much I want to do without more information....

My ship breakdown:

2x Nelson-class Heavy Cruisers: UPS Hood, UPS Hannibal
1x Avenger Sqn: 151st TFS 'Gray Ghosts', assigned to the Hood
1x Huntsman Sqn: 90th AFS 'Black Hearts', assigned to the Hannibal
1x Ranger Class Corvette: UPS Temptress
2x Beachhead Class Drop Ships: UPS Normandy, UPS Saipan
2x Queen Class Troop Transport: UPS Martian Queen, UPS Deneb Queen

Ground Forces:

2x Grenadier Brigades: 101st 'The World Shakers', 232nd 'Blood and Roses'
1x Jaeger Brigade: 57th 'Angels of Vengeance'
1x Leopard Tank Brigade: 94th 'Red Crush'
2x Star Marine Brigades: 98th 'Dark Angels', 99th 'Blood Drinkers'

I still think that the Marines should be on the Drop Ships for this reason, as posted by YS originally:

Beachhead Class Drop Ship

This rugged designed ship is designed to get troops into a hot combat zone. It is a particular favorite of the Star Marines who use this craft. It can carry 2 brigades and/or Squadrons. Armed with two multi-task mid-ranged missile batteries and defense lasers the Beachhead can hold it's own in ship-to-ship combat.

So I was thinking one marine brigade and one tank and then one marine brigade and the Jaegers on the dropships. The 2 grenadiers can be on the Queens. Just a thought, but I'll leave that up to you, Admiral Mandragon.

 

[Starman]

You are certainly free to rearrange the troops on the ships, Kellon. I don't want to micromanage.

Now, if you can't deliver results, we'll talk about how you arrange things.

 

[Widowmaker]

I am back from Vegas!! Looks like things are moving along. What do I need to do?

Which task force do you want?

 

[Widowmaker]

I will take the 414th Battle Fleet located in System Y (Glory). Am I able to pick the ship names from those remaining?

And have we posted our first turn and VP spent?

Are you taking the PoW out of mothball status?

Edit:
Where are the Blacksmith Repair ships located?

Excellent and yes.

And have we posted our first turn and VP spent?

No. Still finalizing details.

Are you taking the PoW out of mothball status?

Yes, I intend to spend a VP for these.

Edit:
Where are the Blacksmith Repair ships located?

TBD. Ideas? My suggestion is G, L, and T.

 

[Widowmaker]

I think the locations on those Blacksmiths RS sounds good. They can then respond once a fleet has been damaged.

Here is the 414th BF:

2 Yeager CVE (UPS Saint. Andrews, UPS Saint Joseph)

1 Avenger (212th TFS)

2 Nelson CA (UPS Drake - Flagship, UPS Grant)

1 Jaeger Brigade (8th Light Jaeger)
