Hmm could go around asking people
tame mango
Open terrain is beneficial to tanks, lets think of that after the city is secured and we push out.
errant pine
If the solid lines are roads, than I assume we’d be Elim -> LH -> Crossroads -> Ziyal
errant pine
so the infantry can be transported to their destination safely
😜 we do also have VTOLs and HATs
real kite
😜 we do also have VTOLs and HATs
yes but I feel a lot safer when my metal coffin is on the ground instead of in the air
also HATs are for paradrops
that is NOT safe transport
as much as i love HATs

Likely. Depends on the TFs…but one of the strong assumptions is that we’ll end up using the Automated Freighters (NPCs) to land at a “secured” spaceport.

Look if we fight our way out we can flank the enemy
tame mango
so how am i arriving, do i just get yeeted from orbit like V3, shipped in a metal box labeled spare parts or something else?
errant pine
hhm yes that "secured" fills me with *loads* of confidence.
I more mean to draw attention to the condition. Meaning if bots have all the spaceports, we’ll need units deployed to take it before the automated freighters will work

Without being paired with a TF, I’m not 100% sure how the movement from the gate to the space port will work. We’ll have to see.

Keep in mind, they need to be setup with SAM and be on this doc in order to get in this BG and there’s a hard limit of 60.

Logistics is sorta covered by the VTOLs, since engineers can carry their own supplies
supple beacon
Yeah, am going to closed down the infantry and vehicles sections.
smoky junco

supple beacon
might leave two slots for trucks
slate hemlock
from what I see other BGs have max 5 MBTs in them

Oh
real kite
No so the tracker checks if its blank or if it has something there
smoky junco
Not 82

So putting “CLOSED” means the tracker has to note it
smoky junco
No so the tracker checks if its blank or if it has something there
And marl is marking them closed lol

And marl is marking them closed lol
Yep, btw why does our counter say we have 87?
slate hemlock
exel voodo perhaps
smoky junco
Yep, btw why does our counter say we have 87?
Because when you change the thing
It logs it
It’s logging closed

should i change it back?
supple beacon
yeah i can do that.
smoky junco
Leaving 4 spots for the aircraft and logi
smoky junco
Eh?
supple beacon
What happen?
smoky junco
I have assumed direct control for the unit total
And did it manualy
Fancy math be damned
We’re at 55
supple beacon
alright
real kite
What else do we want then
smoky junco
Idk
We’ve got a wild card slot open
So 2 fighters, 2 logi and some random guy
56*
Sorry
supple beacon
Yeah that should be fine.
smoky junco
Ignore the wild card one medic wasn’t showing up on the total
real kite
It is done

Well
Hm
Great question
We’re basically relying on the orbitals or the spaceport
So when we figure that out
That’s the plan
smoky junco
Where will the mechs go
smoky junco
Yeah I was thinking the same
supple beacon
What will the plan be
If we can't get to ziyal by orbital then we might have to march from elim to cross road and to ziyal.
smoky junco
Have the engineers/infantry ride the IFVs behind the tanks for suport

If we can't get to ziyal by orbital then we might have to march from elim to cro...
Won’t be a issue considering we’re all vehicle or mechanised
And the few who can’t can go VTOL
real kite
Or aircraft
I think we have enough transport actually
And if we don’t currently, we will if we have 2 more Logi trucks
slate hemlock
What formation
I propose the turtle formation
smoky junco
We’ve got enough for when we’re on the ground but getting around via air outside of small deployment Is not viable

Trucks or fighters would be good. More likely the trucks.

I like it, but we may need to be... ambitious in our group sizes to deploy with any efficency.
sage crane
And we already have VTOLs for moving infantry
sage crane
I like it, but we may need to be... ambitious in our group sizes to deploy with ...
Meh
sage crane
The more than likely idea is landing with the NPC freighter
smoky junco
Using logi trucks as mobile distribution hubs and such

It’s the only way we actually can unless Atlas actually forms
smoky junco

Using logi trucks as mobile distribution hubs and such
I think fighters are more important tbh

2 of each was the idea me and marl had
Since we’re at 56

Imo fighters are more important as we already have a ton of logi from the HATs and VTOLs if needed
odd cape
I like it, but we may need to be... ambitious in our group sizes to deploy with ...
With 6 hats and the hvtols and vtols, 2 fighters aren't gonna be much cover or escort
sage crane
Yeah maybe full send the fighters
sage crane
I’ll leave it to you but I do think we need atleast one more truck
I really just don’t see the use case
smoky junco
Eh
sage crane
Literally both of our supply users (arty and engis) are gonna be quite converntrated
smoky junco
Just trying to reinforce our logistics
sage crane
Meaning we can just paradrop the supply
smoky junco
Having ground supply would be better if the engineers needed to rush forward to repair tanks near the front
smoky junco
With a bulldozer tank they can
Having ground logistics will full any gaps in air droped supply
sage crane
I think having air cover so our units actually touch down is more important
smoky junco
A mix of ground and air logisitcs is what we need
Air bringing it in, ground storing it localy
odd cape
Disabled armor might have to wait for engis to roll up if the front lines to hot. Even dropping them with vtols puts the vtols in danger as well as with trucks rolling up.
sage crane

That’s why we have 2 HVTOL
They pick up the tanks and bring em back

As a reminder we literally can only drop all together
odd cape
That’s why we have 2 HVTOL
5 fighters mean almost every hat gets an escort. Throw the extra hat in close to the back of the formation should cover them enough to land
sage crane
As a reminder we literally can only drop all together
Either on the NPCs or on Atlas if it gets good
smoky junco
We need to come in together for maximum effectiveness

Yes in essence for not knowing objectives but I was thinking if the last resort is to drop in waves having the armor in sections allows them to land together and work together until the next section arrives. Just a thought.
manic spade
Would we happen to know if this is an accurate map of Ziyal, or just some placeholder?
If it is, unfortunately nothing's sticking out to me as an airfield. Save maybe the North East or South East corners if the clankers are converting one of the open spaces into an airfield.
odd cape
That might be the city center. But yea an airfield doesn't stick out
Even zooming in to elim city and crossroads it doesn't look like there's an airfield there either.

Are we sure we want five fighters but only two logistic trucks?
We do kinda need the fighters to defend our air transports, they are critical to our logistics.

Groups of at least 3 so they can at least take out other mbt like units in 1 go
I think the MBT's should roll in groups of 5 as the bots arent going to go around alone and being able to delete enermy tank's even if they have buddies to share the damage would be a great way to start a fight snowballing in our favor. With the other two BG's attacking the city with us its going to get crowded. if we are in a more open area we can split into groups of 3 or spread out more
sage crane
I think lets just wait and see
It's all good saying XYZ but if we get down there and it's narrow streets that fit one mbt, or if the enemy don't even have tanks, or if we are immediatly going ot be fighting then it's very different

how good are Vtols are air-to-air defense? I reckon they aren't as strong as fighters, but we've got 3 of them and 2 Heavy VTOL's to help make up for our lack of fighters defending the HATs we have

Checked the rules and afaik they might be able to help

I thought vtols can't go air to air unless they buy an aa missile upgrade 🤔
But maybe I'm misreading/misremembering that
static galleon
No that's probably me
I'm on my phone rn it's not very convenient to read the rules
Yeah I can't find anything on that but you're probably right

Yh I dint find anything either. D2 probably can't functionally damage an enemy fighter? If I understood air combat right....
If not then they don't have access to the intercept order so also not very usefull

Fighters have armor 0 and work with the hit system, so any hit should be registered I think?

We'll get an idea of time scale with this campaign. The strategic layer makes guessing length harder
I also suspect the supply contracts will be much more worthwhile on the smaller jobs where you might need to cover multiple roles
real kite
True
But 2 req for a 1 time use AA rocket is
A little harsh
If there was a reload involved I’d be more inclined but currently it’s
Not the best

I mean, but that's AA that your INF didn't have initially. 😜 sometimes 1 shot can make all the difference

If there was a reload involved I’d be more inclined but currently it’s

lol, and truthfully I won't commit to deploying it until we know a bit more. Don't wanna leave y'all hanging just cause I wanted to get more into the structure game.

Because if you can it goes from useful to extremely useful

Can you pick it up after deploying?
None of the Heavy Object upgrades mention anything past initial deployment

We put all the arty and infantry in the HATs/ VTOLs and then everything else stays on the ground for survivability

Good news everyone I had a brainwave
As we're not filling all our HATs to capacity because we're hitching the NPCs down most likely, they can fill the rest of their slots with SS
It's something silly like 6 per slot and they have 5 slots
We should be very fine in terms of supply

We have 14 MBTs, with 3 Dozer MBTs going to the Engineer Platoon. We should have the AAA MBT and 2 MBT in a separate section.
Then we have 8 MBTs left to split into 2 Platoons of 4, which can be broken down into 2 sections of 2 each.
That's what I'd like but I doubt that will happen.
Then we have 2 MBT platoons forward (front left and front right), the SHBT in the back. The AAA MBT mixed platoon in between them all so that the platoon is in the middle of a triangle.
Or we get 3 MBT Platoons of 3 MBTs, the AAA and 1 MBT stay with the SHBT?

Better to take our own time and save as many people as we can slowly
