Imagine I posted the :bhagdadbob: emote here, I can't find it.

Also, it was freaking Elise who named the coalition Anaconda on TIS. His logic? "Vily is gonna slowly encircle and choke out the Imperium like an Anaconda".

I mean... I was expecting a slow slog of a war, but come on do something *pokes both sides with sticks* welp more T3s!

Real talk for a second though, I don't think Fountain was a long term strategic goal for Anaconda. I think it was more of a "can we bring the fight to Imperium's home and succeed?" The answer is yes. I feel had they not glassed Fountain, they wouldn't be trying to go for Querious and eventually Delve.

But for whatever drat reason, they seem to have stopped because I don't know, PGL's magic ran out?

Panfam just wanted to glass Fountain as a "gently caress you for co2"

Come to Querious there are several BD Anaconda full fleets out every evening covering entosising and shooting structures.

Because realistically the next stage is Delve, and where Querious and Fountain were both floodplains delve is Decidedly Not.

They're going to have to throw themselves bodily at our gates for a long time before they gain a foothold, and I imagine after a long period of move ops and pussyfooting they're considering the morale impact of running into a meatgrinder against the alliance that invented running into meatgrinders.

Hence why anaconda need a solid base to stage out of, that will be querious. Once Querious is glassed then the entire effort can be put on Delve.

I feel like if you own Delve, Querious is sorta like that big open killzone you put around your fort. It's yours, but it exists to be a big wide open space that you can lob poo poo at from the comfort of inside your fort.

So it seems like the original plan was to push on all three floodplains simultaneously. Pandemic would push from the north through Fountain, Brave from the east through Querious, and Test from the south through Period Basis. Once all three made it to the gates of Delve it would be harder to defend from all three fronts and you'd also have a proper siege of Delve.

Only: Test failed miserably in Period Basis and was unable to take a single system, and Querious is an enormous labyrinthian swamp so no real progress was made there either. Pandemic did successfully push all the way through Fountain, but since it's easily the worst route into Delve as well as the furthest from the capitals of any of the Idiot Brigade, they've now left. I guess the new plan is to just join forces and go through the labyrinth into the buzzsaw together as friends.
