<<OOC: Going to take a liberty here on the scene and assume that the Felucians will come to our planning session.>>
Mack looks around the table at his companions and then asks Vazus,
"Can we get the Felucian scout or guide in here? And anyone else that might have useful intel would be great as well." While he waits he gathers some of the little items scattered around and begins placing them on the cleared space of the table to start making a mock-up of the facility and its surroundings.
Once everyone is present Mack starts pointing out what things represent and getting the positions right,
"Okay. This is the facility and this is the turret. Are these positions roughly correct and where's the door? Okay. Thanks."
"Now, about this turret. Can someone point out what they think its fields of fire are and where the blind spots might be in its coverage?" Mack uses the little items to mark this data on the mock-up.
"Okay, what's the terrain like? Any significant cover to used and where is it?" He marks this on the mock-up as well.
"That should do it for the terrain. Does anyone know if the facility has an underground section? Maybe someone observed the facility during the construction process and had a peek."
Mack stands there looking at the mock-up and rubs the stubble on his chin as he considers. He asks more questions with the aid of Vazus interpreting,
"So which direction is our ingress from? What are we looking at for imperial patrols in the area? Your scouts must have seen or had contact with them, correct? Any mechanical units, like walkers or speeders? I would like to know about night time activities as well. Is it safe to travel at night around here?"
"Are there any good spots for us to set up a hidden observation post to survey the facility's surroundings safely? Whenever any of the Felucian's have approached the facility what was the imperial's response? How do you suppose they detected them and how far away from the facility were they?"
"Other than our guide here are we having anyone else coming with us on this operation? I am thinking a diversion or distraction might be very useful."
[sblock=OOC] Sorry to ask you a lot of questions at once but I figure it better to get them all out there and answered in one shot in the PbP environment. Also I am trying to role-play this properly. Mack would want to thoroughly plan this operation. I am thinking that with enough accurate intel from the locals we should be able to have a fairly accurate picture of the situation. He would pick their brains until he was sure he had every available nugget of information.
From a meta-game point of view this would probably translate into a look at the next Tac Grid of the outside of the facility. And basic tactical information regarding what the opposition is going to look like.[/sblock]
