I'll also send in a wave of cruise missiles to cover your landings on Maywar. Our aircraft can provide close air support.
.
There are also Warburg Navy battleships with cruise missiles and railguns in the area, so I'm sure Jim1the1Squid would appreciate it if you included them in some way.
@CaptainEssen
Oh, ok. I'll airdrop forces just behind the landing beaches. They will have 5 Earthquake ALS light tanks with them. I'm also sending the following forces on a pre-invasion air strike:
10 Osprey IIs.
6 Dark Arrows.
6 Peregrines.
80 RSD.1 Nemesis drones.
@MTakach
@CaptainEssen
I can confirm that the Brotherhood of Chaos hold roughly 1/5 of Maywar. They are fighting the civilian population for control of the island.
@Jim1the1Squid criticism begins
You have a tendency to send huge numbers of forces straight into battle. Often this is a good thing, but sometimes they will end up seeing no action as they simply won't be required. At the moment we don't even know where the BoC is, let alone be in a position to launch an invasion. I recommend sending in a smaller force first and then sending in the rest if they are needed. criticism ends
@Jim1the1Squid
Nukes aren't necessary yet. There's no need to send that many forces, but send some ISTAR units. Any single nation in the archipelago is more powerful than the BoC, but they are elusive and use good tactics that make them difficult to completely destroy.
@CaptainEssen
We send our complements to your air defences, only nine or ten aircraft of the strike force made a successful "attack" on the Deutschland. The defences on your ship are far superior to any we have faced before, including Halcyon's air defences and a Warburg Navy battle group.
@CaptainEssen
Obviously we'll use inert munitions! We'll send in most of our combat types for practice, in three waves. Medium-Altitude Wave: 10 AC-M47E Libellule stealth fighters and 15 Osprey II strike fighters. High-Altitude Wave: 4 FF-17-B Falcon drone carriers. Low-Altitude Wave: 14 Dark Arrow heavy attack aircraft, 6 T-7 Scorpion training aircraft and 3 "cropdusters".
Excellent news! I recommend flying to high altitude where the BoC can't reach you. We shall use our Cormorant space-freighters to provide transport to the ground.
At 04:37 the Albacore-class attack submarines SWS Defiant torpedoed and sank a BoC cruiser 50 miles west of Krakabola. After searching the lifeboats the submarine discovered a sailor in the uniform of a very high-ranking officer. It is believed that he is a commander of the BoC naval forces. Does anyone want to take him in for questioning? He has so far been uncooperative to the interrogators on board the SWS Defiant.
@CaptainEssen
Ok. Traditional celebrations are over, but a period of celebration and demonstrations will occur for a week afterwards. For example, a mock naval battle is planned for next Wednesday, between teams from the Saltwater Navy and the civilian population.
@EternalDarkness
Ok, we'll just purchase 25.
Could I purchase 50 of these for my RP faction?

I'm sure you will.

@MTakach
Pick up that shuttle and its crew then take them to the Deutschland for analysis.
@CaptainEssen
Sounds good to me!

@MTakach
Can you capture it?
@MTakach
The Saltwater Carrier Nation is limited in space technology I'm afraid. The SWS Agamemnon is currently tied up in Hamalia.
@MTakach
What sort of spacecraft is that?
@CaptainEssen
My battle group will join you.
@MTakach
Maywar? I'll despatch some drones to take a look.
@Jim1the1Squid
True, but you need to be realistic about the number of forces you can send. I usually send 1/3 of my forces max.
@CaptainEssen
I'll direct my Battle Group there.
@CaptainEssen
@MTakach
Thank you for your help. Do either of you know where the Brotherhood leadership might be located?

@MTakach
Sounds good. I look forward to seeing it.
@CaptainEssen
I'll fly the most badly injured patients there now. This is the largest number of civilian casualties we've ever seen.
@Jim1the1Squid
Sounds like a plan. Can I criticise you for a second?
@MTakach
Really? Will you upload it as part of my challenge?

That doesn't matter! There is still a month to go if you want to take part.

@CaptainEssen
Ok. We are currently procuring a replacement for the Osprey II, so we won't require them for a while yet.
@CaptainEssen
Could I purchase some if you manage to get them into production?

@CaptainEssen
Whilst you are in Saltwater waters do you mind if the SWAF practice mock attacks on the Deutschland?
@CaptainEssen
Oh, ok. You can use the heavily-defended airspace over NovrdLisch for trials so the BoC can't attack you.
Excellent news! I recommend flying to high altitude where the BoC can't reach you. We shall use our Cormorant space-freighters to provide transport to the ground.
@Jim1the1Squid
They are flying in on board a Drifter-C supersonic transport.
Looks much more capable than the previous version.
@Jim1the1Squid
The SWS Defiant is one day from port and the flight to Warburg will take another 4-5 hours.
@Jim1the1Squid
It seems Essen doesn't want to interrogate him after all. The interrogation can continue as previously planned.
@MTakach
Sometimes the blue is darker for low visibility.
@Jim1the1Squid
@CaptainEssen
Do you both want to send interrogators to NovrdLisch for a joint questioning? You both seem to want to interrogate him.
@MTakach
Yes.
@Jim1the1Squid
@MTakach
He has not, I repeat NOT, got a pill. There is a gap in his mouth where it should be, but it had been removed earlier.
I'm afraid this doesn't fit all the requirements. Since you are a new user I'll accept it, but I will have to deduct 10 points from your score.
@MTakach
We searched him for it. I believe their senior officers don't have the pill fitted to prevent accidental use and the loss of a commander.
@Jim1the1Squid
He is locked to a bunk, out of the reach of any weapons and has been stripped to his underwear.
@Jim1the1Squid
Ok, I'll fly him over Warburg once the SWS Defiant returns to port in a couple of days.
@asteroidbook345
True, yes. Thank you for the spotlight.
