Artillery strike time.

How is our Rhino doing and where's the Spotter?

And if they like to attack a single unit as a closed team like the Black Tristar, surround them. Add Grenades. Them standing close together is good for us.

Can our Wappa Infantry set up a trap somewhere? Hide in buildings with anti-MS launchers?

Current situation is like this.

You team has only taken limited damage and consists of:

You: Act Zaku with Gundam Shield and Beam Carbine + Grenades
Zolomon: Gyan Kreiger
Elaine: Gelgoog B with 330mm Bazooka and Beam Rifle
Jolyne: Gelgoog K (Cannon)
Bernard: Zaku Kai with you spare Zaku Bazooka since he lost his in the fall, and a shitton of mixed grenades and other stuff.
Calvin: Pezun Dowdage E (Recon type)
Hovis: Rhino

>4 gundams

>Four of them.

That can't be healthy. We were on a 1 Gundam calorie intake diet plan.

>>four gundams

Well shit.

TONIGHT, SOMEBODY DIES...

Might as well repost this question to the actual Zeonquest thread: So how long after Odessa until we get the Xamel?

The place is mostly fields and we've still got infantry and tanks in our rear...

To be honest, we're in a shitty situation here. The tanks and infantry can advace along that road and over those fields at a decend pace, our Rhino is wedged between them and another heap we're probably currently keeping supressed with arty and there's four Gundam between us and our designated target.

If there's any chance that our side could hold on to that airfield, I'd say let the Rhino withdraw into that direction, forget about Revil for now and concentrate on holding the airfield and surviving the Gundam.

If the Rhino moves to the other side of the road, we could switch our artillery to Revils Land Battleship.

We did not plan this as a long battle and if it's gonna be a long one, we better make certain that we maximize our profits.

>>11844758
What makes you think Xamel's aren't already available?

>If there's any chance that our side could hold on to that airfield, I'd say let the Rhino withdraw into that direction, forget about Revil for now and concentrate on holding the airfield and surviving the Gundam

You aren't holding the gundam, they're just depleted by sending most of their planes into the massive furball you started in the last thread. You don't know what the ground defences are like.

But the general plan your saying is move that Rhino to that small village down the road from Novopetrovika? And meanwhile our group tries to get into some kind of cover to fight these gundams?

Do remember you are currently surrouned by IR blocking smoking and are relying on sonar responses to track the enemy and your allies.

You won't be albe to send laser-comm orders until the smoke clears.

>You aren't holding the airfield, they're just depleted by sending most of their planes into the massive furball you started in the last thread. You don't know what the ground defences are like.

fixed

>>11844892

We can't engage them here, we need to pull back to an area where we could have the upper hand. If we could get these guys out in the open, we might have a better chance. Any ideas?

>>11844892
Pull back out of the smoke far enough that we can communicate. Get Calvin and Hovis to land a few shells in the cneter of that smoke cloud in case the Feds use it to advance in cover. Our team splits off to either side and tries to catch them in a crossfire.

>You won't be albe to send laser-comm orders until the smoke clears.

We don't have any runners on Wappas available? Keeping communication open in spite of such crap is part of their designated Job, I believe.

>>11844966

You jump backwards trying to get out of the smoke cloud, you hear the clatter of explosions and weapons fire around you and the smoke eventually clears. You see that Bernard and Elaine had the same idea and have also emerged. You search for Zolomon but can't see either him or Jolyne.
You can still hear beam fire from the smoke cloud as well as machine gun fire that seems to come from random directions, you all do your best to ignore it.

"Hovis, Calvin we've got entire Gundam Squad here, and I'm not comfortable with your position, head northeast towards the town, get into some cover! Also, can you see Zolomon or Elaine?"

"Zolomon just charged out of the smoke cloud, doesn't look like he hit anything on the way, he's still attacking the big tray from the looks of it. No sign of Jolyne. You want me to tell him to withdraw back to you?"

YOUR ORDERS?

>>11845029

I'm having flashbacks to End of Evangelion. Zolomon's good, but he needs backup. One person should go with him, the others need to find Joylene.

>>11845029
How much ammo does Zolomon have left?
What I am thinking is that if we tell him to attack and manage to keep the Gundams' attention on us, Zolomon may be able to do quite a bit of damage to the Big Tray, possibly even disabling it.
On the other hand, his Gyan is mainly a short-range combat Suit. If he hasn't got enough missiles and bombs left any attack he might make would prove to be both dangerous and ineffective.

>>11845029
Tell him to disable the battleship and maybe takeout it's com systems. Dont stick a heat hawk through it's bridge.

Is Elaine with us or in the smoke cloud? Either way find somebody to cover Zol and then the two of them can turn back and help us with these MS. The fact that they didnt use beam rifles on us is a good sign, try to keep them at range.

Where's the Wappas? This is one of those situations where they can really make the difference. With them around, it's only our opponents who are isolated from each other in this Anti-IR mess.

Call for them.

>>11845075

Un, it would at least be prudent to support him with arty. Best would be to pull him out of the shit until we've reestablished some ammount of controll.

Nex step should be to use the Wappas as spotters again. As long as we can keep check on the Gundam I don't mind him storming in again.

>>11845029

Tell him to keep going for the Big Tray, send Jolyne with him, if they catch it up they should make short work of it. I seem to recall it's main guns are already gone? Try to get Hovis/Calvin to assist them as much as possible. Ourself, Elaine, and Bernie do our best to hold up the Gundam squad in the meantime. To that end, charge!

>>11845089
>How much ammo does Zolomon have left?

He's only used the Shield Mounted Grenade launchers once, and the Beam guns a couple more times, he's fine for ammo.

But for the record, the Gyan Kreiger is primarily a close combat suit, and that's Zolomon in the pilots seat.
If he can close to the Big Tray, ammo won't be a problem.

>>11845122
>Where's the Wappas? This is one of those situations where they can really make the difference. With them around, it's only our opponents who are isolated from each other in this Anti-IR mess.

Currently being extracted in a Fat Uncle transport after their successful recon mission. They still need to offload their wounded and regroup before they're combat ready again.

>>11845075
>>11845090
>>11845139

So, send Elaine off as Zolomon's wingman, and tell them to disable the ship?

Elaines still (you assume) in the smoke cloud.

Drawfag from the very early threads here, just posting a pic that I drew for the last thread.

>>11845141
Alright then. He should attack the Big Tray, trying to get close if possible, but he's to disengage the instant he's in serious trouble. But we need someone to run interference, so the Feddies don't have just one target to concentrate their fire on.

>>11845176
This, though I thought it was Jo we don't have visual on.

Though if we do this, we'll be outnumbered by one Pixie. We might need to call in a barrage from Hovis while we can.

>>11845176
apologised there is only 1 Elaine in our squad. Please stop calling Jolyne Elaine as it really screws up our squad planning.

>>11845176
>Elaines still (you assume) in the smoke cloud.

Sorry, Jolyne.
Fuck.

>>11845220

Yeah, that.

>>11845029

Can I pray we get Saved by Andrew WK in a Gelgoog?

>>11845277
I wouldn't recommend it.
You might get Char instead.

You order Elaine to go help Zolomon whilst he madly charges forwards. She moves off to help him.
Suddenly you see Jolynes Gelgoog Cannon leap up facing backwards, firing it's shoulder mounted beam cannon into the smoke. Bullets craze around her as she uses her jets to drift sideways slightly. She lands just as a pair of Gundams flank her, brandishing what appear to be a pair of short length beam sabers, only reaching about 3 or 4 meters in length in each hand.
Jolyne is already clutching her Beam Naginta in her hand.

YOUR ORDERS?

BRB DINNER.

>>11845366
EVERYONE (except for Zolomon and Elaine) gang up on these two Gundams AT ONCE. If we manage to take out those two before the other two emerge from the cloud we're good to go. And even though their Suits are good, there's no way two units can survive for long when outnumbered more than 2-to-1.
(Unless they're Newtypes, which would bring a whole new level of FFFFFUUUUU into the equation, but for now let's just hope they aren't.)

>>11845366

Back her up by firing on the Gundams while they're distracted with her. Meanwhile, try to send out a comm explaining the situation to whoever you can and request some backup. These guys look like a challenge.

>>11845405

Also: Grenades.

They're shielding Jo.

Maybe we should try a shield throw too.

>>11845405
Seconding this.

Also>>11844820

Xamel's are available!? Wow. I think one of our long term goals was getting Hovis into one of those. Or was that goal replaced by the Rhino?

Blast the shit out of the Gundams with our beam carbine while they're focused on Jolyne. Keep an eye out for the other two as well, don't want to get blindsided while we're taking out the first two.

>>11845405
This then we go full Newtype or try to while we try to take out the other two gundams.

>>11845440
I believe our plans were to refit a Xamel for space and mount a beam cannon on it.

>>11845366

Fuck. ASSIST! Fire the beam carbine and try to suppress the Gundams.

>>was rucley
Let's keep everything rucley folks. It's been good to us so far.

As someone who came into the game with this thread, I have a meta question.
In the original story M'Quve used nukes against the Federation (not that it did him any good, but still). Do we have those and chose not to use them, or do we not have those at all?

>>11845645

We don't really have any influence on that decision at all. Our characters probably don't eve know that he has those and we're gonna be amongst those who suffer if he presses the button and Amuro fails.

>>11845551
Cant say I remember that bit. We were still in Arizona when people started asking about the Xamel.

I've been thinking more about armor materials for dealing with beam weaponry. I'm starting to think a form of reactive armor might be something to look at. If we could sandwich layers of beam chaff with other materials that'll expand when superheated it could be used as a beams of dispursing the chaff in small areas.

>>11845758
UC started limited implementation of ablative armor as anti-beam coating in the late 0080s. The Hyaku Shiki and ZZ Gundam are good examples of this.

>>11845405
>EVERYONE (except for Zolomon and Elaine) gang up on these two Gundams AT ONCE. If we manage to take out those two before the other two emerge from the cloud we're good to go. And even though their Suits are good, there's no way two units can survive for long when outnumbered more than 2-to-1.

You give the order to back Jolyne up to the rest of the squad and you dash forwards to try and even the odds.
Jolyne parries the first slash, spins around with her jets to parry another attack coming in from the second Gundam she thrusts the second blade of her beam naginta backwards and the enemy gundam back flips out of the way you see it toss a small grenade and your viewscreen goes opaque as the flashbang goes off. You fire nevertheless in their direction, but you can't hear if you hit anything. When your viewscreen resets itself you see an otherwise unharmed Jolyne backing away from the now dissapaiting cloud, firing her beam cannon into it.
A gundam's hand sparks and jerks on the field floor where it landed.

"Sir! my sonar shows three mobile suits trying to catch Zolomon and Elaine! Plus we've got retreating forces coming from the southern staging areas and reinforcements coming in from the north, eta 10 minutes for both!"

Aside from this, fires started earlier with your firefight with the Trojan Horse carriers MS team are beginning to spread across the fields.

YOUR ORDERS?

>>11845806
3 on two isn't that bad of odds. Our mission is not to kill the Gundams. It's to get Revil. Go do that.

>>11845806

Now would be a VERY good time to call for backup. Also, go with Zolomon and Elaine. We need to keep the team together.

>>11845806

Chase the MS going after Zol and Elaine, they have to get to Revil uninterupted, nothing else is even really a priority in comparison.

Except surviving I guess.

>>11845845
>>11845864
Both of these. First point of order is to capture (I will be really surprised if we manage this) or kill (slightly more probable, but still unlikely) Revil; failing that, we should cripple the Big Tray so it stays put until we can bring in a sizable force to deal with it.
(I forget what the Big Tray is like, is it on treads or is it a hovercraft?)

>>11845806
Chase after the Gundams going after Zol and Elaine. If we're lucky, while the Feddy MSes try to get the two of them from behind, we'll have a clear shot at them.
Even if not, we need to keep Zol and Elaine from being distracted from this mission's primary objective: Get Revil!

>>11845806
We've gotta kill these Gundams or some of them. If we cant get visuals on them start to move closer to the Big Tray. Tel Zol that he and Elaine have 5 minutes to capture Revil otherwise he's to blow up the battleship.

>>11845912
its a hovercraft or more likely, a ground effect craft.

I open a communication channel with revil calling that mother fucker out "listen revil i know your not a bitch but you sure smell like pussy get your shitty smelling ass out here and fight me one on one mono y mono ps i fucked your girl nigga"

>>11845872
>>11845864

You give the order for the team to pursue.

"If we can keep those Gundam's off Zolomon's back, we can finish this mission and bug out before the enemy reinforcents arrive!"

"Roger!"

You run parralel to the now almost gone smoke cloud, through it's thinnning shround you can make out the outline of a destroyed Gundam, evidently somebody on the team managed to take one down.

You can see the first of these new Gundams make off after the attack team you sent already, and the somewhat obscured forms of the other two behind him. The first one must have started off earlier.

"Elaine! You've got an anemy following you! Peel off and deal with him whilst Zolomon deals with the target!"

You move into the murk and fire at the enemy shapes. They're weaving forms make hitting them difficult and although you're shots are close you don't make contact. Following your lead, the other suits join in, lending their fire to your attack as well. You see sparks fly as one of Jolyne's spots nick the enemy on the shoulder.
The two Gundam's respond by firing their machine pistols blindly back at you. You can dodge easily but it means disrupting your firing positions for a few moments.

Meanwhile you see that Elaine has engaged the furthest enemy, but it has devolved into a running battle between the two. Elaine's shots with her beam rifle going wide due to the pilots acrobatic maneouvers and his shots failing to make it past Elaine's armour or her shield.

You see the Big Tray launch smoke and flares and Zolomon dive into the mass now obscured.

You charge forwards to close the gap between the other two Gundams, using your shield to deflect their bullets.
Realising that they can't escape. The two of them turn to face you, and dash towards you Beam Knives in hand.

YOUR ORDERS?

>>11846063

Engage while moving, try to keep movement in the direction of Zol and the Big Tray.

Draw Heat Hawk, fuck shit up.

>>11846063

Drop nades in front of you, fall back

Trollface.

Ask your mates to form a pincer, if they can.

Tell Bernie to jump and rain bazooka and grenade fire down on them from above. David breaks left, Jolyne right. Keep dumping fire into them.

>>11846063
Drops grenades while jumping back and using the shield as cover.
Bernie and Jo are to fire at the Gundams while we keep their attention, which will hopefully be disrupted by the nades we dropped.

Could try blinding them, (flashbang, dust, smoke, explosion, whatever).

>>11846118
With the very high mobility and speed that the Pixies have, I don't know if close combat is something we want to get into.
Their specialty is CQC, with MS frames that can best take advantage of melee combat.

>>11846203
That and they have CC beam weapons which can fuck us up in 1 or 2 hits while our heat hawk would take some effort to damage their armor.

>>11846155
>>11846123

Grenades you have on you are:
Crackers
Stick-Bombs
Flashbangs
Smoke Grenades

Which ones do you want to use.

>>11846123
This, and Bernie. The Pixies are pretty pitiful at range, so if we can keep the off-balance and under fire constantly, we should be able to take care of them. Closing to melee is just asking to get our Act shanked.

>>11846247
Flashbangs.

>>11845806

This is gonna be one hell of a tangle. We're going to have to keep batting forces away until we've completed our mission.

Get our asses after Zolomon now that we've given the Gundams here something to chew on. Expect them to give chase, we'll probably have to go back-and-forth here a few times before Zolomon and Elaine can do what they came for.

>>11846247
Smoke, immediately followed by cracker. Get them to run right into it.

>>11846263

Agreed. Blind pilots are going to have trouble with acrobatics.

>>11846263

Flashbag and cracker, though I would honestly favour a stick grenade if we think we can make it out without any major damage.

>>11846247
Flashbang and Cracker, give a warning to Bernie and Jo.

>>11846317
>>11846288
>>11846263
These.

>>11846277
>>11846287
>>11846317

General vote seems to be with Flashbang and a Cracker with Bernard and Jolyne flanking them.

You jerk backwards, a couple of primed grenades in your hand they drop in your wake. Despite the poor light the two Gundam's still manage to spot the two munitions and struggle to use their verniers to get out of the way.
Just before you're viewscreen goes opaque again from the flashbang you see Jolyne and Bernard closing in on the two.
You fire a tentative burst with your Beam Carbine, and continue to back up when your feet touch the ground. Taking the oppourtunity to reload you're now empty Carbine.
As your viewscreens reset themselves (again) you see Jolyne standing over the ruined shape of a destroyed Gundam, and Bernard firing off into the distance from a rapidly retreating foe.
You can't see how Elaines fight is going.

YOUR ORDERS?

>>11846555
Bernie and Jo track the retreating Gundam so it can't flank us.
David goes to check on Elaine; if she's okay, then go towards the Big Tray and help Zol in fucking up Revil's shit.

rolled 17629 = 17629

I MADE IT. :D

rolled 19651 = 19651

>>11846555

>As your viewscreens reset themselves (again) you see Jolyne standing over the ruined shape of a destroyed Gundam

I wanna high fice Jol.

I really do.

>>11846600
Oh we'll high five her once we're out of battle.

High five with out dick and her pussy.

And by high five, I mean intercourse.

rolled 11370 = 11370

>>11846600

Make that high five,,,

>>11846555
Need for speed hot pursuit. Catch that last one and then continue on to the Battleship.

Joke with Jolyne that she's trying to catch up on Elaine's MS kill count. Seriously she killed how many just in North America?

>>11846624
We've just killed people! THEY'RE DEAD!

This is no time to make jokes.

>>11846578
Seconding.

>>11846578

Second. Although our fellow pilots should keep an eye out for the other unaccounted for gundam. I think only two have been destroyed so far(?)

Get moving. These fights are slowing us down, and Elaine and Zolomon are outnumbered here.

>>11846719
2 down, 1 retreating, and 1 should be in a tangle with Elaine.
All 4 accounted for.

>>11846578

You tell Jolyne and Bernard to pursue the fleeing Gundam whilst you head up to Elaine to see how things are going.
Badly as it turned out.
Elaine's lost her gun arm to a close range slash from the enemies beam knive, her hand has a tight grasp on the Gundam's second hand to stop it from finishing her off. You pull up your Beam Carbine and fire a burst at them. The enemy leaps trying to dodge, but tethered to Elaine one of your beams slice into it's leg. Sparks fly and the kneepad armour shears off.
Elaine uses this oppourtunity to toss the enemy Gundam further and it's arm grasped in her hand is ripped off at the elbow in a cascade of sparks. The gundam flies uncontrollably about 50 meters before it lands awkwardly and rolls a couple of time. You see detritus fly clear of it.
One of which promptly explodes into a massive cloud of smoke.
You look over to your left to see another wide and rolling smoke screen, with Jolyne and Bernard firing into it.

"It took heavy damage before it dropped the smokes. Should we persue into the smoke Commander?" Bernard asks.

"I'm fine too sir don't mind me." Elaine comments.

You still have no contact with Zolomon.

"Commander, this is Calvin, we've successfully redeployed and are in position."

YOUR ORDERS?

>>11846797
Artillery into the smoke.

Everyone else go after Zolomon and the tray.

>>11846797
Transmit coordinates of the smoke to Calvin; those gundams are damaged, and at least one of them has mobility issues.

Everyone else, go and help Zol and finish our primary objective: turn that Big Tray into molten swiss cheese.

>>11846797

As them if they can deploy Wappas. There's still two gundam out there and I'd like to keep track of them. They certainly won't simply run off.

And inform Bernie and his mate that there's another gundam on the run. Tell them to be careful, send some Wappas to cover their backs from backstabbers too.

Then we arty and attack.

>>11846812
Seconded. Everybody with ranged weapons left be on alert for that Gundam or more GM's showing up. Tell OH to be ready to come in hard and fast for a pickup when we call them.

Artillery should target the enemies coming for us. We need to get in contact with Zolomon fast, so we'll all try to find him while sticking together and keeping our eyes peeled for hostiles.

>>11846812
Seconding this.

We need to get to Zolomon pronto. He's been left on his own for too long.

I doubt the Pixies are going to just up and abandon their supreme commander even if it means their death. Give the smoke coordinates to Calvin and Hovis and have the Rhino start shelling.

The rest of the team regroups and begins to move towards Zolomon and the damaged Big Tray. This plus the shelling should draw those last two gundams out and we can ambush them when they show themselves.

We should also start telling the OH to get ready for a hot extraction soon. I don't think the Fed reinforcements are going to like us knocking Revil out of the picture.

>>11846812
>>11846842

You order Hovis to start shelling into the smoke cloud whilst you move up to Zolomon and the Big Tray. As you get closer the smoke starts to clear somewhat. Eventually however a picture of the Big Tray materialises, smoking from it's completely ruined hover-cushion and now severed gun turrets, with Zolomon sitting jauntily on the command bridge, which has somewhat distorted with the weight.

"Uh boss. We got a problem. We've been had." Zolomon states.

"What?"

"Revil jumped ship to that Pegasus class the moment he knew we'd picked up the Wappa team."

ENEMY REINFORCEMENTS FROM THE NORTH AND SOUTH ARE NOW 5 MINUTES AWAY, AND COULD SEE YOU IF IT WEREN'T FOR ALL OF THE FIRES AND SMOKE.

YOUR ORDERS?

>>11846933
REVIL YOU MAGNIFICENT BASTARD

Call OH for extract. We're done here.

>>11846933Marasai

WHOAH WHOAH
YOU GUYS HAVE ZETA TECHNOLOGY?!

>>11846945
But before we go we spike the reactor of the Big Tray.

Is there any way to catch up with the Pegasus?
Besides, we sent Char after it, didn't we?
Can the OH get to us in time for a hot extraction, or should we hightail it to someplace safer first?

Call OH for extraction, tell them to inform the personell on the airfield to withdraw, tell all planes that are still engaged that they might want to disengage and follow us.

Tell high command that we prolly much have an army on our tail and that we think that they're gonna move into whatever general direction we take. Ask them if they have any plans for that event.

There's nothing of value here now.

>>11846933
I say we extract ASAP and see if we can go after the other ship. In the mean time, have Hovis shell the airfield before being extracted if possible. Let's mess up their airforce as best we can.

>>11846975
You sent Char after White Base.
The Pegasus class vessel Zolomon's referring to is the one you downed last session.

>>11846933

Well, shit. Let's call a transport and GTFO.

BTW, did that mean we killed Revil when we downed the Trojan Horse? Or is he with White Base? OR DID HE DISGUISE AS BERNARD MONSHA AND WE LET HIM GET AWAY?

Revil has probably bugged out via core fighter or jeep from the downed Pegasus anyways. We should get extracted by the OH and begin heading back for repairs so we can fend off that big wave of Feds incoming.

Meta: Looks like M'quve is probably going to use that nuke now that Revil got away.

>>11846933
We shot the bridge of the Carrier didnt we?
FFFFFFFF-

FISSION MAILED. There's no way we could reach the wreckage of that carrier and search for him in time. It's time to leave. Call for pickup. We could have the OH strafe the carrier's wreckage once we lift off.

Didn't we disable the Trojan Horse carrier the first thing we did?

>>11846999
Can the OH get a firing solution on the downed Trojan on it's way for pickup?
And what about picking up Hovis and Calvin?

>>11846933

We're done here. Revil's not commanding anything from a crippled Pegasus or a dead Big Tray, and we're showing severe damage on members of our unit as it stands. Minimal, we need to get Elaine into a new suit and that means the OH. After that, we should be fresh enough with reloads to continue to properly act. This is going to be one big clusterfuck starting in 5, and a total mess in 15.

>>11846999

I hate to do this, but retreating right now isn't really an option, back to the downed Pegasus at best speed, have Hovis do his best to disrupt the incoming reinforcments then extract on the OH. Also, if there's any Wappa infantry that are still combat worthy in the area (I know there probably aren't) have them head that way and see if Revil's been extracted already.

>>11847000
Revils skills were many, but I don't think even he can pretend to be Monsha.

Think about it. Who's the one guy from the Invincible 8th you DIDN'T see?
Also, my image is somewhat sensationalist, it didn't so much crash into the ground as flop into it somewhat gently on an overtaxed Minovsky Hovering system.

Most people are calling for an Evac, some are calling to investigate the downed Pegasus, which do you wan't to do?

>>11847029

We might want to try to consolidate on their position or near to it anyway. Should make pickup easier and with all the firepower heading this way, getting the squad together again is probably optimal.

>>11847079

Investigate the downed Pegasus. It's horribly dangerous to us, but this is a horribly important mission.

>>11847048

Revil is the Creed of Gundam, It is more than likely he could have hidden inside of Monsha's mustache.

But seriously, have Hovis try to slow the enemy down while we work our way to defensible territory.

>>11847079
How far is the downed Pegasus and how hard would it be for the OH to meet us there for a pick up?

>>11847079
How badly was the downed Pegasus's command bridge damaged?

If it was relatively intact then Revil might still be there sending out commands. If it was destroyed then he has probably bugged out and it would be a waste of time to go over there.

>>11847048
...Burning. Goddamnit, it would be Burning. I knew it.

Motherfucking South Burning.

Anyway, the downed Pegasus would make a good rallying point, providing there aren't Feds congregating there already. We could go there and signal for pickup.

Evac into OH. Flyover downed pegasus for a quick check.

>>11847095
>How far is the downed Pegasus and how hard would it be for the OH to meet us there for a pick up?

Please look at the map I posted

>>11847096
>How badly was the downed Pegasus's command bridge damaged?

You put three shots through the trunk of it. Most probably severing it's communication lines to the rest of the ship, destroying it's power lines to the main reactor (some stuff will have emergency back-ups on the bridge though) and possibly cutting it off from the rest of the ship.

All of this assumes that Revil was on the command bridge at the time.
This is how things look now.

>>11847157
The majority seem to support getting the hell out of here. Also that's a lot of enemy forces.

>>11847157
As useful as it would be, I don't think we're going to hit that downed Pegasus without losing someone. If it was only the tanks and infantry it might be alright but with the forces from the south coming too... I say have Hovis shell the downed ship and either we get the OH to pick us up ASAP or we move towards the air field and destroy what we can as we move past it to a safer area for extraction.

Unless someone can think of a good way we can get to that Pegasus without losing people.

I say head for the air strip, secure it, use it as an evac point for the OH.

It shouldn't really have the defenses needed to stop us from walking in and wrecking it.

>>11847157

Wait a tick, wasn't that southern line their primary assault against our lines? If they're coming back for us we might be able to signal a general advance, start a real counter-attack here.

This chance cannot be passed up!

>>11847157
Yeah, we need to bug out. That Pegasus will be swarming with Feds in a few minutes.

>>11847223

That's tempting, actually...

>>11847235
I like the sound of that.

>>11847235
Signaling a general advance might be good, they seem to be bunching up in the center of the map. A bit more artillery, and we taking out their air field, it might make a push by zeon possible

The thing is, we personally need to get out of the danger zone.

>>11847235

If we can reasonably hit that airfield now, it might just tip things in our favor. I'm a little worried about how Elaine's suit looks, and we need to keep an eye out for any other MS surprises on the way.

>>11847169

Okay so the plan is to get the hell out of here. Where do you want the OH to try and pick you up? Here? Where Hovis and Calvin are? Take the Airfield like >>11847223 suggests?

we can't come all this way for nothing boys and girls. i say we regroup at OH, resupply, get elaine a spare suit if we can, and BOOGY ON DOWN TO THE STALLION.

>>11847285
Knock out the airfield and Evac from there. If we can't get Revil then knocking out their air capacity will do wonders for the rest of the battle.

Meta: And might be enough to convince M'Quve to not break the big Treaty due to our failure to capture Revil.

OK, a few things. We should definitely head east, either following White Base to go rendezvous with Char or make an attack on the airfield. I like the latter, mainly because that way we'll have a nice point for pickup and it would be easier to get Hovis and Calvin to.

MORE IMPORTANTLY: It looks like we've got almost the majority of Federation forces after us. WE NEED TO RAISE M'QUVE AND TELL HIM NOW IS THE TIME TO COUNTERATTACK. We have the enemy off guard and distracted. A nice push could either severely damage the Federation forces or get some of the enemy off of our backs.

>>11847285

Yes. We need to be audacious here, and the airfield is both strategic target and ideal pickup point. Hell, the Feddies probably would have issues shelling us for fear of damaging things further before we escape.

Yeah, move to the airfield, clear it for extraction.

>>11847285
Head towards Hovis and Calvin. Have Calvin take readings on the airfield. If it's as depleted as we think, extract there. If not, hold position and wait for OH.

Also, see if Anita can patch us into the strategic bands and see if the Feds are making a general push to the rear.

Air field, but i'm the one who suggested it so i don't know if my vote counts.

Seriously, it should be mostly plains and infantry guards. Also lacking a place to land and refuel close bye, all their air units will have to leave the battle early to get to the next closest air field in time. that is if they don't leave immediately.

The target is soft enough that the team mates who can't fight at 100 percent can bring up rear guard and not be in an real danger.

>>11847314

If they haven't noticed the sheer unholy mess we've created in the back of the Federation line by now, someone in Zeon Command has gone full retard. If we can get the news out, awesome. Relay the good news to the OH along with our destination for pickup.

>>11847304
>>11847314

It's not the Majority of the Federation forces. It's just the majority of Federation forces ON THIS PARTICULAR FRONT.

But the general idea appears to be to take the Airfield, meeting up with Calvin and Hovis as you go, and then call the OH to pick you up once you take it.
As for Elaine, she's missing her left arm. The Beam rifle still works, but she's going to have difficulty aiming with it, plus she obviously can't use her shield whilst doing so.
The 330mm Bazooka is right out.

>>11847367
Proceed.

Also try to get Zeon to initiate a counter offensive and check the pegasus if we can.

Calvin is in the fastest suit so he should make some high speed passes along the outer edges of the airfield to clear out any defenses or paint them for Hovis. Even with the tanks moving at max speed we should be able to get to the airstrip several minutes ahead of them. It might be getting close with the enemy MS. The real trick will be dealing with any MS that are between us and airfield, that Gundam is still out there.

>>11847382
If char is doing his job, he should have either drove off the Gundam, hurt it, or kept it busy. I really hope their aren't any mobile suits that way.

I would think any survivors would had headed south or west to join up with reinforcements there. It would suck if i just turned out to be wrong.

>Wait a tick, wasn't that southern line their primary assault against our lines?

Yes, if that's possible in the next fifteen minutes or something.

We're gonna get stomped here otherwise.

>>11847367

Swap that 330 back to one of us and ask Elaine if she'd prefer anything else- grenades, another lighter gun, whatever. It's just another explosion waiting to happen to a damaged suit as it is.

>>11847367

Well then, guess which front Zeon is gonna counterattack?

THIS ONE! Seriously, this is a good opportunity to do some damage, either to them or their morale.

>>11847378

You quickly retreat north east trying to avoid the incoming enemy forces. You enter a town with decent cover, but you move carefully, aware that there's at least one Mobile Suit somewhere in this vicinity. You make sure Calvin keeps a careful eye out on your vicinity, even so however your progress is slowed. You can see moving Mobile Suits and Tanks out in the open fields, illuminated by the fires no running fairly rampant thanks to the dry unharvested wheat they're filled with.
It should slow down the Tanks and any infantry at least...

You clear the first town and are luckily afforded with some treeline cover which you dash across, hoping to not be noticed by the incoming forces. Luckily the southern troops are badly disorganised and you manage to make it without incident into the second town where Calvin and Hovis are staying.

Within short order you meet up with them.

"What's the situation look like Calvin?"

"Fresh and organised troops from the north will be on top of us in minutes, if were booking it to the airfield, we have to go now. I haven't gotten close enough to get an idea of what sort of defences they have, but I don't think were going to have time for a proper reconnoitre."

"My Rhino is also down to about 50% ammo in the main gun and rockets. Point defence turrets are unfired so far though, so if you need to use me for close assault work, feel free." Hovis adds.

YOUR ORDERS?

>>11847473

Get to the Airfield. NOW.

>>11847473
Hit the airfield while the enemy is still having problems tracking us. Get the OH to start moving to pick us up once we have the airfield well wrecked.

Oh, and guys, there's potential gundam ambushes out there.

Don't send anyone alone.

Let's make use of the Rhinos think armour and massive point defense + other stuff as a center piece for our assault (support it though).

rolled 33205 = 33205

>>11847473

Also, when we leave, we throw our remaining munitions onto the airfield.

Lets see them land now.

>>11847473
Get to the airfield and smash through its defenses. Have the OH pick us up there as we crater the runways.

Instruct the OH to pick us up at the air field now, not after we get there. That way we'll only be there for a few minutes tops.

When we get to the air field, just put a few beam shots in any structure or plain. Bring in everyone, everyone hits the air field, now, everyone gets in close. we want to all be together when the OH arrives.

Once we are at the air field, have the Gelgoog canon and the Rhino take out anything on their edge of effective range.

Everyone else watch for gundams and move quickly.

>>11847473

Let's get moving. Odds are someone's noticed where all that artillery fire was coming from anyway, and they'll send men in to sniff it out. Better not to be here and doing some good elsewhere.

Protect the Rhino. You know that they're not doing too well against CC units.

>>11847407
I meant the remaining Pixy Gundam not Amuro.

>>11847562
ah, sorry about that

if we are lucky he's been moved to protect Revil, that was his primary mission I assume.

>>11847490
>>11847495

You tell the entire team to move out at full speed, keeping in formation, but trying to avoid detection as best possible.

You move eastwards, quickly crossing the roads to minimise possible contact with enemy troops coming down the road. If they see you, they don't make any sign of it. You quickly cross into the Airfield which appears to be a collection of several fuel tankers, quonset huts, command tanks and Flak-Wagons a few planes are taxi'ing arround (mostly just Fly-Mantas) when you spot a pair of mobile suits in the southern corner. It looks like the Guncannon and Close Combat GM (I'm going to refer to it as a GM Striker from now on FYI) you allowed to retreat earlier.
Alarm sirens are wailing and the enemy Mobile Suit appear to be active, one is coming towards you his MG drawn, the Guncannon however is retreating backwards.

YOUR ORDERS?

SHOOT FUEL TANKS AND THE TAXI-ING AIRCRAFT.

OTHERS SHOOT AT THE GUNDAMS.

>>11847597

GIft that Guncannon with some ranged firepower first. Have Zolomon engage that Striker while we do, Elaine potshot at those aircraft that are active and any other juicy targets of opportunity. Her accuracy isn't grand, so at best she's suppressive fire vs. a suit.

>>11847597
I like this: >>11847624
While in addition having Calvin destroy the flak batteries/AA

We don't want the OH catching any gruff when it comes in to save our sorry asses

Speaking of the OH, have we called it in yet?

>>11847597
David will fire on the Guncannon, Zol and Bernie will engage the GM Striker.
Elaine will take out the fuel tankers and building, Jo will target the taxiing aircraft, and Hovis and Calvin engage any targets of opportunity.

>>11847597
The Guncannon is probably trying to get us in the effective range of his 240s. Have Zol engage the Striker, and gank Adel before he has the chance to ruin our day with shell fire.

Hovis can go hog wild with his machine guns on everything in the airbase. Let's waste some planes.

Rhino and Gelgoog cannon take out that guncannon before it gets into it's effective range, Zol and David take on the GM.

Everyone else trash this place, waste all your ammo. We are leaving.

>>11847624
Liking this. Zol engages the striker, Jol the guncanon and David assists with both. Everybody else start blowing up planes and AA guns.

>>11847694

I can back this.

>>11847694
Yeah.

Hovis needs to shell the guncannon too, though.

>>11847687

No ammo is wasted in this kind of target-rich environment. Just don't get too close to those fuel tanks when they're getting hit. They'll leave a mark, and don't let the Striker lure you in close to one. Save them for last, they'll make lovely cover when they're turned to fire and belching smokepots.

rolled 30279 = 30279

>>11847694

I can get behind this.

>>11847714

Agreed on Hovis. Point defense guns as opportunity presents, but don't let the Guncannon set up and open up at it's optimal range. It's not fast enough to dodge three people pelting it with fire anyway.

>>11847632
>>11847624

You order Zolomon to deal with the advancing enemy and tell Hovis to deal with the retreating Guncannon whilst Elaine takes shot's at fuel tanks and Bernie and Jolyne start shooting at Flak Vehicles.
You have Calvin link up with the Outer Heaven on Laser Comms.

"Commander Lister to Outer Heaven, we need immiediate retrieval from the following coordinates. Enemy forces incoming Over."

"Roger Commander! We're pulling in now, ETA is 5 minutes!"

You see Hovis fire off a mighty salvo from his portside rockets as well a repeat rapid fire from his main gun. The enemy Guncannon is bracketed by explosions and there's a resounding clang as the enemies return fire slams into the front armour. It buckles, but holds.

Zolomon meanwhile charges forwards against the GM Striker, deflecting the majority of the enemies fire with his shield, which is itself cycling RPG's from it's firing ports. The explosive munitions are inaccurate however and whilst not of them hit, they are probably providing an extra layer of distractions to the enemy.
The GM Striker, it's Beam Spear drawn thrusts forwards towards Zolomon, his thruster flare and Zolomon leaps over it, spinning, his Beam Lance slices out and cleaves the Beam Spear in half.
In his next rotation he takes off it's arms and left leg at the kneel. His final rotation severs the other leg.
The now completely disarmed mobile suit slams into the mud face down, smoking and immobile.
The maneouver takes less than seconds.
Zolomon lands in a somewhat heroic pose and several explosions occur behind him.

>>11847786

I fear what would happen if Zolomon found the Lance of Longinus.

>>11847786
This seems somewhat afmiliar but awesome.

>>11847786

"Zolomon! Since you finished your dinner so fast, go get that Guncannon for dessert- if you can beat me to it!" "Hovis, one more salvo, keep it staggering!"

And then rake that Guncannon while it's off balance from the Rhino barrage. Finish it off before he decides to spray-and-pray the place and maybe gets a hit in, then see if Calvin can cut through all this M-particle crap and give us an idea if anything's getting close enough to worry us.

>>11847823
>Zeonic Sentai: Nachtmaranger.

Fuck me. That actually scans.

>>11847916

You order Zolomon to keep it up and try to help Hovis deal with that Guncannon when you spot a gigantic plume of dirt and flame fling the Guncannon, (in various pieces now) up into the air. You don't see where it lands, but you're pretty sure it's out of commision.

"I usually only use those shells for bunker-busting because they're so damn inaccurate, but I figured what the hell, he's close enough."

"...fair enough."

You tell Zol to nevermind and get back to taking out Planes with you before they can launch.

About 4 minutes later, the impromptu airfields are a burning wreck but you've got Tanks and Troops beginning to encroach on the Northern perimiter.
Luckily with all of the smoke and fire they don't seem to have you targeted. But it's only a matter of time at best.

The OH is visible in your thermal scopes and is a minute to 30 seconds away.

YOUR ORDERS?

You and the rest of the team continu

>>11848003
Dump most of the remaining ammo into the northern sections to discourage the Fed advance. Hold back on the beam fire though.

rolled 13997 = 13997

>>11848003

Strike with maximum prejudice, tell Hovis to Alpha strike then load his big ass up.

Then load and run.

Hovis and Jolyne set up firing solutions on the northern perimeter, they are to start firing if anything breaks through the clouds a bit early. Everyone else, prepare to defend and wait for the OH to land, then everyone gets out.

Just have the outer heaven roll in low and fast and strafe everything north with a few beam salvo's

THAT'LL LEARN EM

then we saddle up and find a sunset to ride off into

>>11848003
We need to spread out, and lay down enough fire to keep them at a distance.

Ask the OH and Calvin to keep an eye out for Gundam, if they can.

Don't want anyone to get stabbed through the smoke

>>11848090

Yeah, that too.

>>11848003

Hovis just walks arty down the perimeter- don't worry too much about aiming, we want them flinching. Now's a nice time to roll some grenades into any concentration of troops that makes it through that. Even the ones that don't make dead people. We just want it so damn unpleasant and hard to see that all we get is wild shots and prayers for a smoke filter.

(Note to self: SERIOUSLY consider finding FASCAM artillery ammo for Hovis. Being able to quick drop a minefield or three right now would do wonders.)

>>11848040
>>11848050
>>11848065

You quickly set up a fire mission into the northern area to try and supress the enemy for the short time that you need. You all pile it on with smoke grenades, rockets, Panzerfausts, heavy cannons, Point Defence Gatlings, EVERYTHING.

"Pour it on! We only need to hold for a few seconds. Return fire is sporadic, but heavy, none of you can help but take a few shells here and there, but nothing vitale that you need to get back aboard the now lander Outer Heaven.

"EVERYONE! LOAD UP!" You bellow as the Rhino uses it's limited thruster to push up onto the top deck of the vessel and reverse into the MA pod.

"We have GOT to get a less awkward method of doing that. Can you imagine the trouble it would have been if we'd still had the Hildolfr?" Zolomon asks you as he backs into the lower ventral bay his beam guns still pulsing.

The rest of you quickly get inside as more explosions fall around you. Once aboard the Outer Heaven quickly lifts off and pushes it's way south.

"What's the situation Anita?" You ask.

rolled 13892 = 13892

>>11848147

Ohpleaseohpleaseohplease say we're winning...

"The situation is this commander..."

Our attacks and recon data have seriously destabilised the enemy offensive in this area. The air battle is largely finishing in our favour as enemy units are retreating back to an alternative landing zone. Our air forces are retreating back to support the defence lines, and cover our return.
With the attacks heavily lessened, our forces pushed forwards to add to the pressure, but the enemy forces held using our own defensive emplacements from the 2nd defensive live. But we used the oppourtunity to deploy almost the entire Engineering corps to this area and reinforced the 3rd line heavily. It'll be next to impossible for the enemy to breach this front now, and we can defend it much smaller allotment of troops, allowing us to divert them to the western and northern fronts of this battle.
Head command says that it was able to keep the pressure on the enemy sufficiently to force them all the way back to the 2nd defence line, practically a reversal of this morning here. Although they're rallied around the fallen Pegasus class carrier and the heavy fires are making advancing difficult to impossible. Not least because the smoke makes laser communications impossible, making a night attack impossible to coordinate.

I also have message from Base Commander M'Quve:
"Well, it doesn't look like you were able to take Revil out, but it appears that you did at least take him out for a good few hours. We noticed several fractures in command and enemy coordination during this time which we put to good use cementing our defensive positions, literally usually. If the enemy wishes to take Odessa now, I hope they're ready for a siege..."

Currently however, I have no word from Commander Char...

>>11848249
Can we get a omake please?

>>11848249
Would it be possible to air strike that downed Pegasus rallying point? if a majority of the forces have all congregated there, and we took out their air power. I'd say a simple old fashion bombing run might work in our favor there.

Or did that second defense line have AA defense?

>>11848249
>>keeping our nuclear options open
>>damn you, M'Quve, you ponce.

>>11848249
Well it's good to know that M'Quve is 'happy.' Happy enough not to use nukes I hope. Now we may need to go rescue Char.

How well can the Xamel jump? Because if we could get Hovis into one of those it might be easier to get back aboard the OH in future engagements.

>Currently however, I have no word from Commander Char...

That's fine, as long as he's still on this continent and his friend on the other.

>>11848320
Considering it weighs roughly 120 tons fully loaded and also uses hoverjets to move, I'd say about as well as the Rhino. Frankly I'm surprised either of them can do it at all.

OMAKE

The Core Fighter landed on VTOL jets atop the ventral landing bay of the Stallion. The lift carried the small two man plane down into the damaged landing bay. Outside two figures exited the vehicle, and were greeted by the vessels Captain.

General Revil shook Captain Synapses hand.

"Glad to see you survived Captain!" Revil told his subordinate.
"One could say the same to you!" Synapse replied good naturedly.

The escape from the Stallions command bridge was frantic and rushed. Using a hand held laser communicator, they'd had to send signals to a receiver on the hangar bay, since all lines of alternative communication had been cut. Luckily Burning himself had spotted the urgent meeting just as he was suiting up, and he ordered the spare Core Fighter to be loaded onto the lift.
From there, First Officer Matilda Adjan had been forced to break the bridge window with her sidearm, and using a firehose as a rope Revil had scaled down the bridge towards Burning and his plane.

Luckily the rest of Burnings squad had managed to distract the Nachtmaren team long enough for this to be done unnoticed. All agreed, they'd gotten lucky. If the Nachtmaren had even suspected that Revil had switched ships, it could have all been over.

"Any news from your pilots?"

"Some injuries, in the case of Monsha, his pride mostly. But all 3 mobile suits were destroyed, the Sniper 2 may be salvagable, but the Strike and Guncannon are all write offs."

"That just leaves me and my Command GM I take it." Burning commented

"Sorry Sargeant, but it looks like you're all that's left of our MS team for now."

"... and things were going so well too." Burning commented as his fished around for his lighter. Presently Revil supplied him with a box of matches, which he graciously took.

>>11848391

>Captain Burning is alive.

:D

>Currently however, I have no word from Commander Char...

Is he away from Garma? Then we're good for now.

I wonder where Char is.
Okay. So revil's alive, but damn near everyone's near that pegasus cruiser, and M'quve's got nukes.
Revil gets nuked in 5 ... 4 ...

The town had been reduced to fire and smoke. Char had long since lost his wingmen, his beam rifle had been sliced in two by the Gundam's Beam Sabers and his shield destroyed by the Gundam's rocket assisted ball on chain.
In return he'd managed to sever the ball with that attack, and the enemies beam rifle had been discarded, out of ammo. He was even pretty sure that the enemies head vulcans were dry.

They were now facing each other him with his Beam Naginta drawn, the Gundam brandishing a pair of Beam Sabers, Char moved in to the attack. Their blades clashed in a lightning quick set of exchanges. The Gundam raked him with it's head vulcans, evidently he did still have some ammo left.
Char parried the fire by spinning his beam naginta like a propeller.
Wait...

They'd once again put some distance between themselves, and had reached an impasse. Char came to the realisation that he wasn't sure who would win if this simply came down to whose endurance would hold out the longest. He had to try something. Something possibly insane.

He disabled the rotation limiter on Gelgoog wrists. He then leapt upwards towards the Gundam. The enemy sliced upwards to catch him, and Char had his Beam Naginta spin at a ferocious rate. The effect was slight, but for a brief instant, his weapon acted like a geniune propellor, giving just enough thrust to alter his line of attack, the beam saber hit nothing but air, and Char took advantage of the enemy being overbalanced and and somasaulted over intent on slicing his enemy apart whilst inverted.
He knew within moments that the Gundam was going to dodge the attack. So he added some horizontal rotation and Char kicked him into a burning buildings instead. The building collapsed and flames and smoke obscured his vision. when it returned he could see that the Gundam had been kicked clear through. He carefully followed.
Nothing.

It was back to hide and seek, it seemed.

>>11848551

>Char had long since lost his wingmen

At some point, somebody's gonna catch up on that and just hand the man more shields instead of wasting pilot's lifes.

>>11848620
Or give his MS some Luna Titanium plate from that Trojan Horse at Solomon and some decoy balloon launchers. Seriously, why did it take 13 years to get balloons the shape of Mobile Suits?

>>11848391
So did we shoot the secondary bridge or below the bridge or what?

LAST OMAKE BEFORE BED

MESSAGE TO: General A. Revil
FROM: Lt Lloyd Baxter
SUBJECT: Further notes post-debrief

Whilst overall our first sortie against the Nachtmaren went badly, with the loss of Private Renault and Corporal Argentine being effectively out of the war due to injuries, all but one suit relatively undamaged.
I still think it needs pointing out that taking on the Nachtmaren Unit in open terrain is effectively suicide and has been known to be so for a while.
Under the circumstances, we should be glad as many of us survived as we did.

Further to your discussion however, I do agree with your suggestions and I propose utilising technologies from the [CLASSIFIED] project to enhance the Pixy suits. I've already been talking to the Project Leader, and he's aggreed to create a retrofit package (tentatively entitled the RX-78-XXBD model) and also allot us training time with the Marmot Unit CO, who is currently the only man to take on the Nachtmaren Unit and come out almost entirely unscathed, whilst outnumbered almost 5 to 1.
Hopefully this will finally give us the edge to deal with the Nachtmaren on at the very least an even footing.

END.

>>11848647
No. just the lift shaft, emergency tubes, power lines and communications lines between the bridge and the rest of the ship.

If you'd fired much more, you'd have severed the entire damn thing clean off.

>>11848647
>decoy balloon launchers
>With beam chaff dispensers

Now you have a decoy that can survive being hit by beams, which makes it a more effective decoy.

>>11848249

Not worried about not taking out Revil. As I thought, wrecking both ships disrupted their command structure enough to give us the breathing room we needed.

So will that firestorm. They'll literally have to wait for a burnout to get seriously back into running night assaults, and daylight attacks on our defenses will be difficult.

On the other hand, that smoke and the cover of night might well be an excellent opportunity to sneak artillery into a good position to lay down some firepower into their rallying point.

(Incidentally, Apologised- arguably the best mecha campaign I've been in, and I cut my teeth on 2nd edition Battletech.)

Oh, right. Durp. Well my statement still stands.

>>11848701
That'd be hillarious because with Bandit being a Newtype the EXAM suits nearby would mess him up.

>>11848688
While it sounds good we want Char to be able to take advantage of the Balloons and be able shoot through them if necessary... Then again, having ANY cover from beam fire would be handy. Either option should be looked into.

>>11848700
We have the grid coordinates where the Carrier crashed right? 155mm can reach +30km and we've talked about the Hildolfers and Rhino possibly having double that (but being unable to targetat that range) We should just shell fuck out of it before it moves.

>>11848249
>"If the enemy wishes to take Odessa now, I hope they're ready for a siege..."
And if there's one thing we can do well now with our current tech level it's weather a siege. Our manpower is going to be a big issue with this in the long run though. Still, our destroyed or crippled MS's can be replaced, the Fed's cant. the longer they take the less Mobile Suits they're going to have available. Yes they'll keep upgrading what they have but there's only so much that can do. If they havent broken our defense line within a few days we should ask to discuss terms for their surrender.

>>11848672

And suddenly nuking the shit out of the Federation doesn't sound like such a bad idea after all.

>(but being unable to targetat that range)

It's not like you need super-duper technology to hit something that's sitting on the ground. All it takes is a good map you can fix your position on.

>>11848874
