Yes:
No (5): Twinwolf, Rockeater, Kashyyk, Jerick, helmacon

I've merged the vote box.

We are attacking piecemeal specifically because we can outproduce Wreth. If they are still outproducing us despite the PL, we might as well give up already.

Damnit people, this is why I said to keep the truce. Because now everyone's ganging up on the cats.
Also, don't forget to contact your local Eldritch Being(s), so that they can help with our mission to destroy the universe.

We killed one windrider last turn and lost three vipers. If they're making even a single windrider a turn we aren't outproducing anything at that rate. If we want to outproduce them we cannot just waste our excess ships, we need to go in with overwhelming force and that is something we are capable of doing, just not this turn. One turn to build up our forces, that's all I'm asking for. We'll show up with 8 Vipers and a bunch of Skiffs plus anything else we purchase.

We lost the last fight due to the large number of skiffs present. While I would support overwhelming force, we need reinforcements inside the spire.

If we regroup, we can do it sooo much better.
Mostly by fixing the Ocker and optimizing the Anguis.

Not that we should, we need to keep up the attrition pressure and get reinforcements to Blackstone. But if we regroup we should do it right.

If you provide your own regroup plan, I may support. Depending if I prefer yours/jericks.

Quote from: Operation Regroup (fixed)
Production:
-32 Topaz Grenades (2c 2o)
-2 topaz pistols (2c 2o 2w)
-1 topaz VS core (3c)
-1 topaz S core (6c)

-1 S lift (3c 2o)
-6 reams of webbing (12s)
-2 copper plating (6o)

-6 comms officers (2c, 2o, 2 squads)

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 Med Core
-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:

Thanks for fixing that NAV. I'd hurriedly thrown up a badly edited plan because no one else had posted any non attacking BS plans and I was in quite a rush at the time.

Are you absolutely sure you want the blackstone marines to try to advance without any reinforcements? Its risky and could be a death sentence if wreth reinforces at all. Probably better to continue last standing if we dont reinforce them.

One problem with that plan NAV, it only buys one set of copper plating but fits two to the Anguis.

I may vote for regroup if we continue last standing.

Fixed regroup up with some of NAV's changes and changed the troops to Last stand.
