So we went with the wide front push, as opposed to the narrow deep one. Im expecting a pleasingly ludicrious payout due to the property damage :v:

Since our whole goal was to hit the coast, I gotta say that was pretty sub-optimal.

Also, check your PMs Yooper.


Curious to see losses and expenditures on that one, but that sheet might be a different kind of spoiler.

Yeah, next mission I really must insist we hit the coast. We are running short on time, as much fun as a turkey shoot is.

Next mission, assuming it doesn't involve some insane curveball (which given what Yooper said post-stream re: losses and expenditures I'm thinking is probably going to happen), is probably going to have to be a hail mary assassination strike. I don't think us clearing the way means Von Hoff can actually take the capital before China shows up unless it turns out we're starting in spitting range of downtown.

I think we'll be closer than we think. We did manage to blow up a lot of comms and Sector Controls and I think that may disorganize them enough to force them to fall back faster. I also think we were able to hit some Free State ground forces so we may have been able to get the Rangers to the west and take the highway.

Ignore any ground forces left
Wave 2) All forces hit capital with precision carpet bombing :metal101:

Don't listen to them. Knowing them their plans currently consist of impenetrable flow diagrams sketched on the back of waifu posters and the insides of body pillow casings.

Also, did Unicorn ever overfly Free State territory? If he did, I'm headcanoning that he dropped a few leaflets of husbando literature just to creep those PUA types out.

yes, im sure this automated mining system is totally real and tested and not just, at best, a computer janitor's fever dream that makes any mineral extraction engineer stare in mute horror.

at worst it will be "literally slave labor, but with a curtain around it.

We might lose out on potential contractors because of that! Think of how much we can sell ourselves by saying that we successfully carried out an airstrike on a heavily fortified target in the middle of a large city without any civilian casualties!
