Geocities Homepage King posted:If one of her missions turns out to be a crazy bombing of a civilian target or whatever would that be tied back to the Hired Goons? Totally on us. No one will distinguish one jet from another. And I doubt we could explain how we brought this crazy lady from India with jets and we totally aren't here with her, but sure we'll pick up her bar tab. Condoleezza Nice! posted:You want to drop CLUSTER BOMBS in Angola. Yeah that's a real good way to appear as good people to the international community. The Count is in a tough position. He understands the difficulties facing Angola in regards to munitions and mines, but at the same time if he doesn't gain some ground it won't matter. He discourages the use of cluster munitions but ultimately it's up to us. We can be morally ambigious, or we can restrict our munition use. It's up to you guys, but the payout doesn't change. Whether other factors might change remains to be seen. Loel posted:Is capturing the MLRS an option? No. Ground ops is going to be fairly limited unless Phi and his merry hand of miscreants can whip something up. As it is any MLRS is going to be off the frontlines a significant distance to prevent counter battery fire.

I vote we hold off on using cluster munitions for now. Use them if necessary, but they shouldn't be our first resort.

How much would it cost us to buy satellite imaging of the other factions' airports? We might be able to figure out who's based where as I doubt there's many hangars here that can fit that Wedgetail, if any. Changing my vote to Zack. I do not want to be held responsible for cluster bombing an orphan hospital or whatever insanity Rohan may decide to do.

I think we should have faith in Rohan. She may be vengeful and angry from J-20gate, but I don't think she's going to take it out on civilians.Crazycryodude posted:What if we load up the cargo plane with a bunch of Angolan paratroopers and wait no WHAT ARE YOU DOING GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME I CAN'T GO BACK THERE I knew it was only a matter of time before somebody proposed Entebbe again.

Yvonmukluk posted:Eh, I'm sure that using basic maths and OSINT should let us figure out that sort of thing. It should be easy enough to find out the length of the runways, and we can use those as marks of scale to ID the assorted supplemental stuff. I suspect that SHARMF & the Free State with their shared love of social media will give us useful intel. Shame that she doesn't fly a two seater.

I am (pleasantly) surprised that people are voting against the recurring character over a little thing like "she might randomly fire bomb a hospital or an orphanage". I figured she'd win the vote even if she literally provided no bonus and just cost a bunch of money.

Generally angry-crazy people will want to stay angry-crazy until something happens that makes it very clear to them that it's not working out. It seems optimistic to hope that we can casually fix up Rohan in between missions before she makes a mess. Let's please go with the spook.

Yeah. As much as I'd like to bring in the Riders of Rohan I'm going ot have to vote for Zack. I don't like the idea of accidentally blowing up a hospital while working for a humanitarian. Edit: Really sad to find out that isn't an actual twitter account.

Man, I feel kinda lovely that we're all immediately assuming that Rohan is suddenly going to devolve into a total screaming loony. (Aside from an offhand comment Yooper threw in that may well have just been to fake us out). As long as she agrees to abide by the rules of engagement of 'don't blow up civilian targets', I think the problem is mainly going to be her being overaggressive and the dictator thus throwing more things at us. But she might provide both extra coverage and keeping the enemy guessing. I feel like it's not going to be 'if we roll a one she napalms a refugee camp'. Maybe I'm being overoptimistic in human nature, but PTSD doesn't turn you into a supervillain, dammit. If we don't go with her, maybe we should recommend her to the Count to help build up his air force after we leave.

As much as I would love to have Rohan on board, I really don't want her bombing a hospital in our name or spiking the threat level prematurely. Definitely want her on our side in this story though :/ Zach: Getting some intel is our most pressing concern, we've got enough firepower to wipe out a few tank battalions, we just don't know where our targets are. Getting some up to date Satellite recon would be swell. Can allow us to track the dictator's forces so we can interdict them before they get to the front and having an eye on some runways allows us to see where their air assets are based. And it's probably the best chance to see up north or about any special surprises sent our way. Really glad we got the Reaper and Sperwers cause they're gonna be super useful in picking things out on the ground with those EO sensors and allowing us to be 'surgical' with our air campaign/social media image and would definitely like to pick up some more Sperwers/UAVS at the next opportunity. There's no reason why our ground pounders can't have a Sperwer loitering above them 24/7. We don't need to crack out the clusterbombs yet. The Phantoms can carry 6x500lb unguided bombs, Tornados 5x500lb and Gripens 8x Guided SDBs, which should be more than enough to level whatever we need to. Although they might have to get awful low to use dumbbombs so we might be better off sniping AAA/mobile targets with mavericks/LGBs beforehand. Once we start assaulting the cities, It might not be the best image on social media for us to be levelling things wholesale

I don't think anyone's saying that she's likely to go nuts, but there is a risk that she will do poo poo that will not only spike up the threat level, but will also hurt the Count's public image. If the supposedly humanitarian Count has forces going off and bombing hospitals, that's not good for his ability to get foreign aid and support. However, Zack and his intelligence community contacts will help us target exactly what needs to be targeted and help us mitigate the chances of collateral damage.

Waiting for when the spook gives us bad intel and gets all our assets blown up after all those gambling debts are called in by the Free State. Remember Zack is a spook with baggage. Can we really rely on his intel if his 'baggage' is a nebulous 3rd party that can be easily bought out? Rohan

The thinking with Bogan is we would get valuable eyes on the ground, but with the relative unpopularity of the dictator and 8chan's Namibia board, we probably will be able to develop a decent humint intelligence service ourselves. I voted Zack earlier because, while we probably will be pretty okay for humint so long as we don't start commuting atrocities on the reg, we only have our MQ-9 and Sperwers for reconnaissance. Actually, thinking about the Speeders, would it be possible to deploy them with the Count's forces instead of basing them on our own field? it's the perfect place for them.
