Fleet Action! Red Team HQ

[Zurai]

Yeah, I'll be taking the Harrier as my flagship, and fully intend to use it on the initial surprise attack. That said, D doesn't have a battle station, it has a starport.

The only other thing I'd like to point out with your strategic analysis is the importance of severing the Hyperspace Communications Relay. The relay runs through B, T, and Y; of those, T is the juiciest target, but it's awful close to K, which is a major fleet base.

Your plans seem sound. What say you if we gather some intel on G & O. Mr Daemos will send one frigate to both at the very start and stay with his main fleet at the back. When we have secured J, he'll set up his command in there and conduct espionage and sabotage to the systems nearby. If our command needs I could also send one ship to J before the main attack force to gather some intel.

Sounds like a decision needs to made, objectives to be assigned and ships to be handed out. The ball is in your court Commander. The fate of our glorious empire is in your hands.

T is the juiciest target, alright, and has the advantage of being pincered between J and D. I'd say our second objective after we secure J and D would be to move out to G and O (neatly severing trade in the process), which isolates T and lets us think a little more carefully. We also need to watch out for I, because one turn of movement can get a UP fleet from the big base at K over to I, which is directly on our flanks.

So I agree it's time to start considering objectives and resources. How about everyone sound off your wishlist of ships (don't bother thinking about what other people need, just everyone put up what you want if you had your pick), and any objectives you can think of that we need to deal with.

Objectives I can think of so far:
-Recon (J & D initially)
-Take J
-Take D
-Scout fleet bases for possible counterattacks
-Negotiate with Pirates (I'm thinking someone wants to get Diplomacy for this one, and for dealing with other neutrals in the future)

Fleet wishlist for Rear Admiral Akhollan:
CV Harrier (Flagship)
CA Conjurer, Magnus, Sorcerer, Warlock
DD Dagger, Dirk, Fang, Talon, Claw
FF 109, 143

4 Fleet Tenders
2 Fleet Transports

14 Scorpion squadrons
7 Venom squadrons

2 Ravager Assault Transports

2 Shock Trooper brigades
3 War Walker brigades
3 Reaper Atmospheric Attack Craft squadrons

2 Covert Operation companies



Yes, I realize that's fully half of our CAs and DDs. You did say not to consider what other people need!

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

And I stand by that. It's easier to get everyone's wishlists on the table early and then divvy up the loot (and by loot I mean ships).

 

[Kaodi]

I will stick with what I said earlier for my ships.

 

[Blackrat]

Mr Daemos's wishlist:
One Warlock Cruiser
Two Bladebearer Destroyers

Every Wraith Frigate (That is available)
Every Covert Ops Company (That is available)
(As I already stated I can give up a few of both but I'd like the rest.)

Just a quick note.

Your Supreme Commander begins the game with 2 Victory Points. You can spend this before the game starts.

The ego-manic fighter pilot will take what ever is left or be assigned with some other character...
