Ummm… Veers? I really would prefer it if you would please consider instead helping to destroy the 3rd Nordera. It can’t be done without you. Let me try and explain again, better this time.
The 2nd SF would travel to Vega to meet the Zy. There’s no need to await the Zy. We won’t be able to do anything to them until next turn. The 2nd SF can move to Vega, and the 3rd DD as well. The 2nd SF will be able to cover the 3rd DD as it retreats to meet the Homeguard Fleet. Hopefully the Zy will hit the 3rd DD, leaving us more strength for the counterattack.
South, the 2nd DD can Resupply and Travel to Hydra. The 3rd SF is almost full strength, so I would advise Travel to Hydra and defend. The 2nd LSF should double Resupply to restore the damage inflicted by the suicidal Nordera. Hydra would be able to hold at least a turn even if the STACK OF DOOM comes rolling in. As far as the STACK OF DOOM goes, if it does start taking people out, well, there’s nothing we can do about that. But we’d still have two fleets there even if one was lost.
If the 1st CSA, the 1st CRF and the 4th CRF engage the 3rd Nordera, we can wipe them out. The 4th CRF should use the Zeal special before attacking.
1st CSA Fleet:
- Fighter attack strength: 21+10=31 (23)
- Capital attack strength: 19+11=30 (20)
- Fighters at 93% Strength
- Capital ships at 93% Strength
- Morale: Normal
1st CRF Fleet:
- Fighter attack strength: 21+10=31 (16+2+3)
- Capital attack strength: 20+11=31 (17+3)
- Fighters at 100% Strength, 3rd Gen
- Capital ships at 100% Strength
- Morale: Zealous
4th CRF Fleet (+ Zeal)
- Fighter attack strength: 20+9=29 (16+2+2)
- Capital attack strength: 18+10=28 (17+2)
- Fighters at 100% Strength, 3rd Gen
- Capital ships at 95% Strength
- Morale: Very High
Damage: 91/89 (sick damage!
) Received - 5/5 per fleet.
vs.
3rd Nordera Fleet:
Fighter attack strength: 10+5=15 (10+3)
Capital attack strength: 9+5=14 (8+3)
Fighters at 69% Strength
Capital ships at 70% Strength
Morale: Zealous
This is the only combination of ships that can engage the 3rd Nordera. If you don’t engage the 3rd Nordera, then the other two are just going to be left twiddling their thumbs, there’s nothing meaningful for them to do. 5/5 damage will barely scratch the allied fleets, it’s a good move to make. Then we can plan out where to move everyone next turn, we’ll have 3 fleets in Hydra, 3 fleets in Draco, and 2 in Vega, though one will be leaving. Everyone will be in good shape, and we’ll have plenty of flexibility to move people around.
Oh, and a tip, I don't do an RP on the current turn's actions until the deadline hits.
