Total cost: 18c, 14o, 12w, 14s
Resources left: 15c, 0o, 5w, 6s
Preparation:
Rename the 3 new vipers to Elapidae, Pareidae, and Bolyeriidae.
Remove the Topaz S lift and Topaz VS core from Ocker.
Give Ocker a regular small lift, and topaz topaz smalll core.
Equip the Anguis hull with all our stuff in storage and bring her into active service again.
-Normal hull
-6 reams of webbing

-Topaz small lift
-2 topaz trim webs
-8 trim webs
-2 topaz trim crystals
-1 topaz vanguard cannon (front)
-8 kettleguns (6 front, 2 rear)
-2 copper plating (front)
Assign a comms officer to the Anguis, Elapidae, Pareidae, Bolyeriidae, and 2 Natalies:
Deployment:
All ships from Blackstone regroup at Spire Kasgyr, using Smuggle tactics.
1 Natalie scouts from Kasgyre to Unfinished.
Redshirt 1 disembarks from Ocker.
All squads advance forward using a mix of flanking and defensive fire.
Flanking: Squad A and B, Cavalry 4 and 5.
Defensive fire: Cavalry 1,2,3, Red Shirt 2.
All marines at Burned Mountain continue defending with Bait and Strike.
Fixed Jerick's plan.
-Anguis is more optimized and ready for launch, with topaz small lift an full armour.
-Ocker is more optimized. Regular small lift instead of topaz, Topaz small core instead of very small.
-Sent a Natalie scouting to Unfinished.
-Didn't buy non-topaz infantry equip.
-Fixed number of infantry at Blackstone.
Still need to do cost calculations, but I'm sure its within budget.
This is not an endorsement of the plan, just an optimization if we go the route:
