What's considered 'fighting shape'? Lightly damaged and above?

In any case, I'd suggest counter-attacking as soon as possible, either now or after a week of repairs. We really need a quick victory to show we're not a lost cause and head off rebellions, and if they get the tank fixed we're screwed.

Actually, I'll vote to do it this week. It'd be very risky but we should be able to catch them either recovering damaged vehicles (hitting their mechanics) or when they've just started repairs (reducing their available forces). On the other hand, if we're unlucky we'll take heavy losses and pretty much collapse immediately.

Spoiler: plan immediate attack (click to show/hide)

Hit Lanestown asap with everything which can fight. Aims are to destroy local Tumblers forces and disrupt the recovery of vehicles, especially the hover tank. If we succeed in gaining (temporary) control of the area, quickly and publicly make an example of collaborators. Come along personally to help recover, or hulk if we lack the time, damaged vehicles after the battle.

Vehicles which are too damaged to fight are to remain in the workshop with their crews assisting repairs.

What's considered 'fighting shape'? Lightly damaged and above?

It's been a while since I wrote the stuff, and when I wrote the text part I was planning on giving the condition as a percentage. Let's say yes.

Lightly damaged may have some bullet holes in the frame, a strange rattling noise, and maybe a turn signal doesn't work.
Moderate can fight, but might be missing unessential like doors, or have lightly damaged parts (The wheels slowly turn to the left if ignored!). They'll fight with further reduced effectiveness and are noticeably more likely to be destroyed.
Heavily damaged is in danger of critical failures, and might still have shot-up wheels. Maybe the brakes don't work.
