He alluded to that fact, but we have no solid intel on what they've left behind or possibly recalled. Perhaps on this mission an additional secondary objective could be to scout the overwater areas to see what any future strikes would potentially be up against? The capital strike plans are elegant and well-crafted but hinge too much upon critical assumptions about the weakness of what we'd be up against for my liking.

The Angolan navy IRL is a handful of patrol boats and seaplanes with exactly 0 AA capability.

Vando posted:Hit the radar sites. Escort the defectors. If the radar strikes are successful, continue to beat up on the Bulgarian ground forces. This is seriously all i think we should be doing. Kill every single one of their search radars so their SAMs are dramatically limited in effectiveness and then just hammer them all along the front. The dictator's legitimacy doesn't come from an experienced corps of trained and effective military that would be weakened by a strike on their leadership or an effective and impartial bureaucracy but from a shitload of money which he gets from lithium mines which are not defended by whatever he has tasked to the capital. Also we directly get paid more for taking lithium mines and we do not directly get paid more for anything we do to the capital.

Vando posted:What intel do you have regarding the Angolan Navy and its air defence capabilities? It's mostly a fleet of hospital ships and refugee rescue ships, so it's totally the kind of thing we want to hit with NBC* munitions. *napalm, burning books and cluster bombs (maybe some kitten bodies and decapitated nuns?)

This is another assumption and if I was the DM of a game like this I would totally be putting canon-compatible "Chinese aid" ships into the scenario the second my players started assuming they rule over the battlefield and can do whatever they like

Oh, come on, if we don't perform one ridulous Hail Mary thing per op why even be mercenaries? I'd have signed up for the French Army if I wanted to play it safe.

Chinese ships. Been a while since we sent one to the bottom. I wonder if they'd send one with AA missiles this time.

Oh man I hope the Chinese DO send us some ships. It's been a while since the last one, I'm hungry for the chance to paint a little silhouette under my cockpit. And imagine the headlines when a bunch of jumped up mercs in generation-old Eurotrash give the PLAN a second bloody nose.

Lemme put on my robe and Clancy hat and say that imo focussing on bombing the western concealed/camouflaged and SAM defended sites 1990's NATO-style so that mostly light troops can charge head-on into fortified heavy armor is maybe not the best strategy. Going up the central and/or eastern axes seem like they'd be a lot less slaughtery for the Hoffster. But they're not my altAngolan pixelmens, so eh whatever y'all wanna do.

Going up the central and/or eastern axes seem like they'd be a lot less slaughtery for the Hoffster. Well pushing up the West is gives a a new airport and extra mines (like either of the other axes of advance), it also gives us the only refinery in the country not in Luanda and the second of the three major ports in Angola, which will both benefit us and hurt the Dos Santos regime. If we hit that depot and the military base in the Bulgarian rear, we could force a major collapse on the coast. I'd like to retask one the airfield strike from the Benguala Airbase to the FOB East of Mutumbo to hopefully push that line back a bit, to capture the mines right on that border.

        If there is no clear vote taker then we take the top three and do a runoff vote. If I missed your proposal show me some catdrugs and I'll get it on the list. Remember Silent Bob

For those concerned about long-range cruise missile fire, I'm going to point out that Liontamer and Golgotha can both be summarized as "Have the Tornadoes fire cruise missiles as fast as possible with no on-site support." Care Package at least sends planes with appropriate armaments to take out the same objectives.

Golgotha. Whichever of those two is ahead of the other without taking my vote into account. If they're tied, flip a coin. I'd rather either of those than Liontamer, which takes our present lack of aerial opposition and squander it. The Sandman fucked around with this message at 21:30 on May 4, 2017 |
