My heart says Rohan

But my head says Zack, we desperately need the intel the drones can give us. It could be a critical advantage.

Some people may be thinking that Rohan might pop up and save the day by killing their Wedgetail, but any GM that won't screw the players by flattening their airbase for no reason also won't save their bacon for no reason by randomly killing the opposition's most dangerous asset.

However ! If Yooper is planning to do some super-secret advanced meta-RPG stuff to track Rohan's progress towards redemption or damnation, then absofragginglutely hire her !

nibbling around the edges and blunting their mechanized superiority.

I'd like to get more intelligence on what assets our opponents have and where they're located.


A nice, quiet, low-key thing to do would be to hit their fuel depots. That'd bring their T-55s to a screeching halt, and for a good long time too. Shorter term, we could put recon eyes on the LOC behind the mechanized advance and try and spot the fuel convoys or supply dumps. Taking out either would take a lot of pressure off the client's ground forces.

Zack could have found it for us.

I don't like the idea of putting all our eggs in the ssbn basket. We need at least a few land missile silos with ICBM's, and get some of those old Russian ICBM's built before treaties banned land-based MIRVs.

No repeat NO land based ICBMs until the 2x4 Battalion can mount an effective guard force against everybody repeat everybody who doesn't want us having nukes.

It's your plan, so I'll leave the final Sperwer call up to you?. Do you want to delete the Sperwer or leave it in?

The Gorgon Stare on the Reaper did great work last time and spotted the S-300 without difficulty. I figure we should leave the spotting duty up to it.

Leave it in and send it scouting the western side of the map, north from our airfield. Positive recon on that area can't hurt.

Yeah, I feel like we'd get some good mileage from additional recon assets, but let's fly the ones we have somewhere.

The important eyeballs will be on the Bulgarians. We'll need good spotting to get the armored and mechanized units.

I dunno, I think "we pay well for turncoats" gets us more than "we shoot people who try to switch sides"

That's the only reasonable policy. It also gives us an individual option after our inevitable ecoterrorism/throwing cluster bomblets around like candy gets the whole world against us.

We're an air force with the ability to dictate to the ground forces. Of course people are theorycrafting like mad !

Go Native, Go North, Go Strait.

Take the Sk60s off the roster and absolutely use them as an airshow/stadium flyby team. Rotate pilots who have been shot down through the demonstration team, so they can write stuff about going back to the world for a while.

The AMXs will be our worst remaining plane, but if we ever need 4 deniable Mavericks we can sacrifice them, assuming sufficient SAR cover to get someone to fly the mission.

Natives

They're the side with the worst naval assets. If we're going to steal a bote from someone, we have the best outcomes if we're working for the side that doesn't have anything worth stealing. We'll do fine financially, even if we might have to bomb dozens of small fishing boats/

Going by my understanding of the Toyota Method, doing exactly what they want this mission with an extra bit that is preparatory for another mission (recon) is exactly what a first task should look like. We do this, we get a touch more lee-way to expand our RoE or do something extra that is in-line with the ultimate goal of the contract.

That's my thinking. The Mamba is a long-term project, and doing the recon is Step One of dealing with it.

drat this was an exciting stream ! Yooper wanted to ratchet the tension up, and he delivered on that in spades.

That Patriot battery shot down a lot of ASuMs, we might run it dry this campaign.

All in all, this mission was expensive in Grippens but we did end up with air superiority that we can probably maintain. Too bad about any plans for dealing with St.Lawrence Island's SAM battery by flooding it with SDBs. On the plus side, nobody else in the region has a chance of establishing a permissive environment.
