Are those the ones we're currently in?

#

I thought those could only go the the elevators?

#

I would assume a BG inside a Taskforce would be taking the grav lift.

#

Nvm, I didn't read the midround enough.

#

However, if we get ourselves down to the ground. Spearhead will probably not be able to use the same grav lift.

#

My proposal

obtuse fossil Jul 3, 2025, 8:10 AM

#

There has been alot of worry about enemy air assets being a hard counter to our many tanks. I suggest a counter plan to deal with them
Planes need to land and rearm after every attack and if there is no airfield they can't land. So we destroy any air fields the bots have access to no airfields less enemy air

#

Orbitals might be able to rearm some of them but if they want to do that effectively they need to be in orbit within range of our guns

What I think should be done is doing the bare minimum to set up a HAT-capable Airfield in Cel'Dar, then using HATs to consolidate the resources at Crossroads when they get established

That wouldn't be our problem, though

We're using its landing pad to jump over the enemy forces assaulting Elim and go straight to Ziyal

#

With luck, the other BGs will push through the crossroads and meet us there and we can pincer the bots out of the city ; otherwise we'll be drawing forces away from the main assault

sage crane Jul 3, 2025, 9:33 PM

#

I will say this entire organisation thing becomes 10x easier when we reach the actual battle
People just submit their own orders and we don't have to make complicated formations anymore, true freedom

compact minnow Jul 3, 2025, 9:33 PM

#

Even if they don't make it to Ziyal, a fuckload of tanks suddenly appearing at Ziyal may hopefully scare the bots enough to start retracting and consolidating

#

I wouldn't put my money on that considering the behavior we've seen from other bots but one can hope

the infrastructure holds value so it has a chance of luring them back(if there is any ofcourse)

What i'm hoping is that we can capitalize on taking them by surprise twice ; first by even being there, second by stealth dropping an entire tank division behind their lines

sage shale Jul 4, 2025, 12:14 AM

#

compact minnow I have a bad feeling that we may be snuck up on by forces from Nerys

I don't think this would be our issue, as if the bots would airdrop behind us anywhere, it would be to C-Z, as the bg behind us is gonna make Cell'dar a no go. But even then, while it's highly probable an air detatchment comes behind uss from crossroads, my concern is actually Ziyal, why? Every campaign has a super boss and we might just be walking straight into it. I'd imagine a super mech, the likes of Armored Core, an upsized giant mech from battletech, or a Thor from Starcraft. Yk, tall as a skyscraper.
