So, how exactly are we going to get on the damn thing anyway? Flying straight at it seems a bit foolhardy to me...

[adwarf]

Give me four drones, the small engine, and some fuel, and I can get you guys into the ships, but thats my fall back plan. Zako check the drones for a communication device, and see if you can reroute  it, and send a signal back through it. If you succeed offer the drone controller a trade, all our coin, and the pistols for assistance against Abu Merci

[PyroDesu]

Getting there is the easy bit: We'll be there when the attack is launched:

I received word from them earlier they want to rendezvous with us tomorrow at 1400 hours, presumably to launch the assault against the bandits they fabricated, that's going to be our best time to strike, if we can have the fleet in the air as they approach and fire the first shot we'll hopefully gain the advantage, from there though our firing capacity is going to be greatly reduced and I'll be relying on you and the others to fight on foot and in the air.

It's a preemptive strike, We can be on board when shots start getting fired!

They short-circuited, the electronic components are probably melted. I'd like to see that get backtraced.

A short circuit is an abnormal low-resistance connection between two nodes of an electrical circuit that are meant to be at different voltages. This results in an excessive electric current (overcurrent) limited only by the Thévenin equivalent resistance of the rest of the network and potentially causes circuit damage, overheating, fire or explosion. Although usually the result of a fault, there are cases where short circuits are caused intentionally, for example, for the purpose of voltage-sensing crowbar circuit protectors.

[adwarf]

We can still try I would prefer to try, and fail to not try, and have no idea if it would have worked.

[PyroDesu]

Besides, remember that the Drone Controller is somebody aboard HOPE.

If you did backtrace it, you'd probably just reach their superiors anyways, and you probably wouldn't get much out of that.

Yep, pretty much. Just assume Droneman is helping you out

Do remember, also, that he set most of these events in motion. He'll probably show up.

[Zako]

At any rate, we can worry about him later, right now we need to prepare for the big fight going down. How will we get out of there though? Hijack some kind of aircraft?

[adwarf]

Now that is easy just get on the Jenny Harvier

[Sheb]

-1) Yeah I know it's the Jenny platform. Perfect place to put up a gun, we can remove it later, when we actually need a parking lot more than a BFG.
-2) Sending a commando to disable the engines strike me as stupid. I doesn't use thrust (Look at the pic, it's anchored AND in the air.) if anything, take more people with you to attack the control room.
-3) And since you're the chief, could you request some weapons from Mason? I don't think I can bring down that blimp with my bare fists.

[PyroDesu]

• The BFG probably wouldn't have the firing angle to hit the thing, much like Machu's BFGs.
• In the air, with Balloons that don't look like they could support it alone. It must have some other sort of lift as well. And I have no idea where you're getting the concept of it being tethered from, because there is nothing in the picture we have that suggests that it is in any way connected to the ground.
• We have more shotguns than we have crew available to shoot them. I see no reason to request MORE shotguns, and most other weapons would be useless in close-quarters combat.

Urgh flurb burb... no update today guys sorry, finished AM's innards but I need to do some RL work tonight also I'm a bit confused so is this your battle plan?

Overnight you work on aiming the harpoon upwards and giving it enough umph and chain length to hit Abu Merci, try to fabricate two AA guns from the drone remains, launch Pyro, Aklyon and Sheb (Group A) in the Jenny whilst it's still night and equip the landing pad with one of MP's undercarriage guns (a SFG), as dawn breaks Geen, Jack, Edio, Bunny and Zako (Group B) are distributed among the Macho's and head up with them whilst Areyoua, Kirby, Bill and Adwarf (Group C) stay on Hope.

MP fires the first shot, Group B leads the attack and tries to secure the top deck allowing Group A to successfully land and make their way to the control center to demand surrender. If Group B can keep the Abu Mercian's at bay their secondary objective should be too cut the ropes holding down the balloons. Whilst all of this happens Group C should leave MP and try to shoot at AM with the various guns they've acquired including the harpoon which they should try and use to drag AM into the ground?

So is that what I'm drawing? Also do you want me to do the entire battle in 1 turn and maybe have 3-4 drawings with a bunch of zoom-ins? That might take about 3-4 days so say any modifications to the plan before I start drawing explosions all over the damn place... hehe  Oh yeah and some of you don't seem to notice Machu Pichu gave you each a standard issue military shotgun last turn

[Drago55577]

Abu Merci is not what i expected...i thought it would be a fortress filed with cannons, uses big propellers and is a big white and blue fort floating on a bit of stone

Overnight you work on aiming the harpoon upwards and giving it enough umph and chain length to hit Abu Merci, try to fabricate two AA guns from the drone remains, and equip the landing pad with one of MP's undercarriage guns (a SFG) (They can extend the platform if needed), as dawn breaks Geen, Jack, Edio, Bunny and Zako (Group B) are distributed among the Macho's and head up with them whilst Pyro, Aklyon, Areyoua and Sheb (Group A) in the Jenny with the Macho groups. Kirby, Bill and Adwarf (Group C) stay on Hope.

MP fires the first shot, Group B leads the attack and tries to secure the top deck creating a distraction while Group A make their way to the control center to demand surrender. Areyoua will split off from Group A in order to find the engine room to potentially shut down or damage the engine. Whilst all of this happens Group C should leave MP and try to shoot at AM with the various guns they've acquired including the harpoon which they should try and use to drag AM into the ground?

Modified to fit the battle parameters I was considering when planning.

I would think that Group A goes up at the same time as the Machos and Group B. Otherwise we're hanging in the air all night and a good bit of the day.

And Areyoua is to go to the engine room! If you still don't agree, think about it this way: If the battle goes sour, but we manage to disable or damage the engine, Abu will not be able to escape, and attacking Machu would be nigh-impossible if they cannot get low to the ground (Machu has anti-air weapons, they would shred any blimp that attempted to drop troops!) (They would need the engine to descend do if they don't want to shoot out their balloons and crash!).

[ashton1993]

Well actually if you send Areyoua up there's nobody below who would have had any experience at all piloting Hope, if your wanting to actually use Group C's plan and utilize the night time preparations you may want to re-consider that, with the plan you'll probably require a minimum of 4 down below, 1 to pilot Hope, 1 to run the engine and 2 too aim and fire the guns, possibly substitute somebody else in if your adamant about the engine sabotage?

Ideally if you have 2 AA turrets, the harpoon and a SFG you'd have 4 gunners but I'm saying 2 based on 1 being able to fire the harpoon and then go to an AA turret which can be linked with the other in the same way a 4-wheel drive vehicle works. And nope, all the Machos are in the air or performing operations on MP, of course you could entirely scrap group C's plan but I'll let you think it through.

E: Also I thought Aklyon was the combat tactician
