Training marines doesn't cost resources, just time. We have marines stacking up as it is right now.

[Taricus]

True, but we might be using more than a few squads to train up communication officers.

[Draignean]

I won't be in much tomorrow, but I'd love to get combat finished and the new round begun on Sunday.

[Kashyyk]

I think our current stock of marines should cover us for comms officers, so even if we only produced 1 improved marine squad per turn, I think we'll be fine.

Draig, before I make a plan, do we need to "fit" a Viper with a comms officer at home spire, or would uniting the two be enough?

Also, why did we fit the Ophidian out with three less cannons that max?

[Kashyyk]

Anyway, in a bid to get something done (and being pessimistic about Draig's answer), have a battle plan:

All marines at Three Captains employ Bait and Strike
Serpintus, Pythonidae and Ophidian move to the nearest Wrethi Demi-spire. Ophidian employs Scouting, the other two employ Blockade

One Skiffs at Kasgyre move to Three Captains, the other to Glowcove. Both skyskiffs at blackstone move to Three Captains..
One Skiff at Three Captains and one at Glowcove employ Scouting, the rest employ Airborne Ambush Maneuvers.

[Jerick]

Here's my plan. I like the idea of pushing into their territory. If we can hold there we can possibly land troops on one of their demi spires. But I also want to push up on the right flank. For what ever reason the enemy has no presence there so I see no reason not to expand our perimeter.

Ship Movement
All three Vipers and two skiffs at TC move to enemy demi spire
Two skiffs at Blackstone move to enemy demi spire and link up with main fleet
Three skiffs at Glowcove move to Unfinished
One skiff from Kasgyr move to TC
One skiff from Kasgyr move to Unfinished
----------------------------------------------------
Tactics
Marines
All marines at Three Captains employ Bait and Strike

Ships
Three Vipers and three skiffs at TC employ blockade tactics
One Skiff at TC employs scouting
One Skiff at TC employs scouting
One Skiff at Unfinished employs scouting
Four Skiffs at Unfinished employs airborne ambush

[Taricus]

Blockading them this turn may not be such a good idea. We know they pulled back from all fronts so we're going to have to be prepared for them launching a major offensive on the three captains.

I might well suggest we use this turn to pull our vipers back and outfit them with comms officers.

[Kashyyk]

My hope is that we can stick three comms officers in the Transport destined for TC next turn, and they can just move over to a Viper each. Logically, I'm not sure how having a comms officer board a ship should take an entire year and a shipyard.

Hrmm that is a point. They will likely figure we're dropping troops at TC this turn so they may make a move hoping to catch our transport. Still they'll be getting out a second warship this turn or soon next turn and I want to deal some damage to their forces before they gain aerial superiority.

You might want to give him a poke on the discord you'll probably get an answer much quicker there.

[Kashyyk]

Why does everything insist on having a discord nowadays? I can't get on it, so could you ask him for me?

[Draignean]

Well, the discord is perhaps the only reason Wreth doesn't have three hundred pages of thread, so it serves a purpose.

Sorry about the lack of answer. Mid-flight transfers are doable. You can swap crew around without a dock.

[helmacon]

Someone add me to a plan where we don't push into enemy territory. Our advantage lies in ambushes. Whenever we engage in a direct fight, either during a blockade or an encounter in-transit or something else we do significantly worse. Move everything to the TC that we can and prepare ambush tactics. Bring some comms officers for the vipers.
