Woo! Try not to get banned today!

Also when will Zeon begin deploying Zaku Snipers?

>captcha: Rooks then
Rooks with beam sniper rifles? I could live with that.

>>11443152

Woot.

From last weeks' discussion:

The plan was to have California send our MSs to New York while we would fly OH and Lil Marleen carrying us, Cirma's team and the Midnight Fenrir. MF can get a transport at NY.

According to our loads, we shouldn't be able to carry anymore more suits. However we should be able to carry over our limit for a short period of time. If we can, the 123rd can just hitch a quick ride to the evac point.

If not... lets use the most trashed suits and set them to self destruct at the entrance. Pilots are the main concern after all. /trollface.jpg

>>11443258
It'd be a nice fuck you to all of this.

And hey, if we get lucky, perhaps we can finish up at Odessa and get back to wrecking their shit at Jaburo

for the love of god can someone please give me a brief recap of whats happened between returning to earth after saving Degwin -> now, please??

The orders from on high are to carry out the pre-arranged extraction plan, and then make full speed to Odessa, with company level commanders making their own arrangements for ressuplying their units.

The Nachtmaren and Mashiba Teams extraction plans were to either escape the way you came in, or an airlift via their Zanzibar Cruisers.
You are unsure what the Midnight Fenrir's arrangments were.

For the conventional forces up top, the plan was to secure a pre-designated landing spot for the Gaw carriers and then load up a company a time, under cover by fellow forces and any air units available.

As for replacing your suits, all of your conventional MS are currently in California, which is most assuredly in the wrong direction to where you want to go. However, with your rank and clout with command, you could probably manage to get some Fat Uncle transports to carry the suits you want to a better location where you can pick them up.

YOUR ORDERS? (captcha is 'Papers Gamut' aptly enough)

>>11443292

How many suits can we carry?

On an emergency, short hop basis.

>>11443310

Potentially? Another 2 in the MA pod and about 6 could probably cling to the top of the ship without too badly overstraining the engines. Don't expect her to handle or dodge fire as well as your used though.

As for the Lili Marleen, she can hold another 2 MS in the hangar bay, and hold about 6 on top as well. But this will strain her engines as she uses a brute force method to hover, whereas the Outer Heaven has more elegant Dom style hoverjet arrangement going on.

I'll be doing a map with your proposed route on it. Give me a few minutes.

>>11443292
>YOUR ORDERS?
See >>11443258
The plan last week was to load up in New York then go over the pole to Odessa since it's a shorter route that way.

>>11443281
I'll do it in a bit if somebody else doesnt.

>>11443258
Right. We were also going to see if we could get Cima's team a beam rifle or two if possible and the Midnight Fenrir into better suits. Preferrably Doms so they could act in support of the Mashiba team later if necessary.

When we're enroute to NY we should see if the Black Tri-stars are being brought in to help defend Odessa. If not request them, it's rather flat terrain and Doms are good for that. If they are see if we can have some of the last few Pezun Dowdage upgrade kits assigned to them. There were 8 kits made total right?

>>11443347

How many suits in total again? It's been awhile...

'Unless civics'

... they don't like my car.

Also. Fuck yeah! Zeonquest!

>>11443392

Why are you fools fighting the Federation? Join up, live the good life, and fight the Caldari!

Okay, here's the map.

As for who's here, it's about 4 MS from the 123rd, 3 from the Midnight Fenrir and 4 more from the Mashiba Team, but they have their own way out.
You've both summoned your motherships for an immiediate Evac, and both should be here within 5 minutes.

>>11443479

Sounds like we should be able to give the 123rd a quick ride to the evac point without too much trouble.

Lets leave a badly damaged zaku or gouf and set it to self destruct at the entrance.

We can always claim battle damage caused it's reactor to overload and blow. It HAS happened before. :D

>>11443511

Pffft. This is how misunderstandings happen and we get nuked to oblivion....

>>11443479
Map with 'over the pole' route added since it's shorter than flying straight across the Atlantic.

>>11443629
God damn corrections of corrections.

>>11443644

I thought Greenland was Feddy held territory?

>>11443658
>see pic

>>11443676

Meaning we cross into Feddy held territory.

>>11443584

You do realise that Greenland and that part of Canada is Federation Central right? Hence why the northern front has been in continous fighting since the start of the war?
Plus, I'm pretty sure they have bases on either the Antarctic or Arctic, but I don't remember exactly which.
Hell it's only the adverse weather conditions in northern russia and above that prevent them from invading along that route in any serious numbers.

Both the Zanzibar's have arrived. You can easily carry the 123rd survivors yourself.
You ask the Midnight Fenrir if they need a lift.

"That's all right commander, we'll be escaping via the disused water-docks to the east that the Mad Angler team found for us last time. We've got a Submarine waiting for us. We'll meet up in Odessa!"

The Midnight Fenrir team take some spare ammo from the Outer Heaven and make their way off. You all load up in your ship before any more Feds find you and make your escape.

You are currently in the air. There is a Zaku II and a Kampfer riding on your hull.
The Lili-Marleen is alongside.
Enemy Air forces are still in number, but your new Saber-Tiger fighters are giving a good showing. You can see the Gaw's making their way under escort northwards to the evac point.
Explosions on the ground denote the progress of friendly forces.

YOUR ORDERS?

>>11443511
Rather than having the reactor go critical, is there any chance to spreading anti-personnel mines and improvised explosives all over the place? Preferable writing down the locations so that when we come back this way we don't get caught in our own traps.

>>11443713

Follow zolomon's example.

Open bay doors and start sniping at targets of opportunity. Weapons free. Support friendly withdrawal as much as we can without slowing down.

>both requiems

...very bad omen...

>>11443713

Lets get a sitrep on the ground forces. And what suits are we bringing?

Gelgoog? I say Gelgoog....

hi guys I dunno about your quest thing but could you identify the production model of this for me

thanks

>>11443713
Whatever route we choose, I think we have to make a stopover in New York either way, so confirm with California that our suits will be in NY by the time we get there.
Also let NY Base know that we're on the way, and to prep ammo and supply loads so that we can load up as soon as we touch down.

>>11443706
>>11443713
>You do realise that Greenland and that part of Canada is Federation Central right?
>I thought Greenland was Feddy held territory?
>Meaning we cross into Feddy held territory.
That's why I was faceplaming.

>>11443713
Make best speed for the evac point. Once we've offloaded the hitchhikers let's see if anyone needs an emergency extraction.

>>11443771
CX-34 Crotchbone Gundam

>>11443771

RX-78 as if done by the guys who did Zone of the Enders.

And forgot that the cockpit was in the abdomen.

>>11443747
Imagining David Lister saying "Gelgoog" makes me immensely happy for some reason.

Try it.

>>11443819
my god, its full of stars

>>11443837

But how can you see them if they are black?

>>11443796
>>11443803

Do you think this design goes against gundam design traditions?

Quick FYI in case people have forgotten. Pretty much all of Africa is Zeon territory.
And in the canon will largely stay that way for DECADES.

>>11443791
Could we sneak through that Fed area by staying under radar and staying in sparsely populated areas?
Otherwise, if we cross the Atlantic from NYC to Odessa, we'd be up against whatever Fed forces are in the ocean and in Europe.

>>11443851

Weren't they declared loyalist (gihren)?

>>11443803 And forgot that the cockpit was in the abdomen.

Maybe they did, and maybe they didn't.

>>11443883
Yes. But technically you ARE neutral since you're part of the Garma camp. Your actions in space notwithstanding.
Plus this is probably one of the situations where even they'll be willing to give you aid, or at least let you land so you can swap out busted MS's for stuff you've transported in yourself.

Alternatively, find a quiet sand-dune in Morroco and don't tell anyone.

>>11443864

So, you want to avoid what few naval units the feds have left in the atlantic by going over one of their major staging areas instead?
If everyone wants to do it obviously that's what we'll do, but...

>>11443982
lets just cross the damn atlantic and get on with this

captcha: Floated Insomniac

>>11444024
It's still rather important that we pick up the 'googs, Dowadges, and Tropens for this. Otherwise we're going to Odessa with a handful of busted MSMs, a stolen Guncannon, and an Act Zaku that's held together by the pant job at this point.

>>11444024

Then we cite pressing need and commanderr the Kampfer. Pilot's not going to be too happy but needs must.

We also offload the guncannon for transport back to california. This piece of equipment needs to be broken down into it's base parts and studied till people's eyes bleed.

>>11443982
I was under the impression that Federation holdings and forces in Europe would be harder to evade than those operating in the wooded areas of Canada or the Arctic Circle. If this impression is wrong, then I am willing to concede to any of the other suggested routes to Odessa.

On the other hand, if the Federation is launching a major offensive on Odessa, wouldn't that mean that their manpower is depleted elsewhere? Would this mean that their troop strength in the northern territories have been reduced in order to gather forces for the Odessa operation?

>Pretty much all of Africa is Zeon territory.

Well, then why don't we take the short route and have our other suits meet us once we get to Senegal or Sierra Leone? Going up to NYC adds PILES to our travel time, and we're sort of on the clock here. Also, the more we are able to stick to friendly territory, the better shape we'll be in when we get where we're needed.

Glad to be back in this. Let's cross the Atlantic, it's our easiest shot.

>>11444063
we got a guncannon?? see this is why i need a recap ._. fucking archives

>>11443982
Okay we find another route.
This pic reminds me. Zeon is likely already working on an MA /Space fighter that'd fit our combined arms doctrine well: The Zakrello

pic is Bigro Meir and late model Zakrello.

>>11444071
I'm in favor of this. If everything goes right, we should be fully loaded by the time we cross the Mediterranean and run into any Fed stragglers.

>>11444053

Well we can resupply in Africa. We'll just not be using too much cutting edge tech. At least we'll get doms.

>>11444068

The docs we got in Jaburo indicated it produced 150 GM units just for the op. I don't think they needed to divert more troops.

>>11444071

This is probably the right idea. We need to reach odessa in as good a shape as we can be.

Who knows, we might even pick up char in Africa.

>>11444110

Zakerello? Useful? That thing is just some guns strapped to a thruster.

>>11444135

Some folks would say the same for any fightercraft.

Need to make the silhouette smaller though.

>>11444071
Yes. It's perfectly possible to have some transports load up the Mobile Suits and MA's you want and meet with you in Africa where you swap over.

>>11444118
Is there any way that we can get our California base to send our equipment ahead to Africa?
Otherwise, yes, we should probably go through Zeon-held Africa to head up into Odessa.
Have Earth-side Zeon factions declared any kind of truce during the Fed operation against Odessa?

>>11444071

Disregard what I said, I like this idea better.

>>11444156

Then this is perfect. Lets do this.

Oh and uh, can we contact Lord Garma and see what his plans are? I've got a nagging suspicion hes going to head in himself...

>grave it

fuuuuuu-

>>11444156
Alright then. Let's set up a rendezvous point on the western coast of Africa with our California Base transports, and get there at best speed.

>>11444173

All the infighting is out in space. The Earth force is all under Garma's control, and therefore uninvolved. Speaking of which, we should check on Garma, probably give him a call.

>>11444118
>The docs we got in Jaburo indicated it produced 150 GM units just for the op FOR THAT ONE MONTH ALONE.

>>11444173
Yes, absolutely. Although there's a chance you might arrive before they do.
Although that will be only if you leave right now and don't help friendly forces with the evac.

Presumably you're going to help instead, and place an order in with California over the communications network for your Mobile Suits.

WHAT MOBILE SUITS AND MA'S DO YOU WANT THEM TO SHIP TO AFRICA?

>>11444205

Unfortunately not so.

Africa declared itself loyalist. This is more of a case of enemy-of-my-enemy-is-my-temporary-friend-until-i-backstab-them.

>>11444224
Both Gelgoogs, all three Dowadges, the Flipper, and however many Tropens can fit in the leftover space. And the Rhino, of course.

>>11444224

Well, what do we have ready?

>>catalysts inadequate

FUUUUUUUUUU-

>>11444240

Yes, yes, yes, and yes.

>WHAT MOBILE SUITS AND MA'S DO YOU WANT THEM TO SHIP TO AFRICA?

Oh boy. It's been so long that I can't even remember what our classic ground loadout even was. We've been in marine suits for weeks, and before that we were all in space. What do we even have?

>>11444282

No zaku and GRENADES for Hamburger?

>awesome sounds

of nades exploding, yyeeeesssss

>Both Gelgoogs, all three Dowadges, the Flipper, and however many Tropens can fit in the leftover space.

For the record the number of Tropens can fit into the Outer Heaven after all that is 'Zero'.
Which is a coincidence because it's also the number of pilots Nachtmaren has left to pilot them!

>>11444301
Well then it all works out. We're in a hurry to defend Odessa, we can't be bothered to remember how many pilots we have!

>>11444224

Also, commandos on wappas. We could use spotters

>>11444294
>>11444297

2 Zaku Kais, 1 Gouf Zolomon Custom, 2 Gelgoogs, 3 Pezun Dowdages, 3 Dom Tropens, 1 Flipper EWAC Zaku and the Rhinoceros MA.

You have with you: 1 Act Zaku (El Muerto Grande), 3 HyGoggs, Z'Gok, Z'Gok E and a stolen Guncannon Mk 3.
Your suit is undergoing repairs as we speak and should be ready by the time you reach Odessa, the rest are too badly damaged, some of which need more spare parts than you have aboard.

>>11444240
Wait I thought Bernie was going to be using the Zaku FZ?

Also, apologised which of these two in the pic do we have? The way things have been progressing we may have skipped over the D straight to the F.

>>11444349

You can ask for them, but this Op might have cleaned out California's infantry units. Doesn't hurt to ask though.

As is you still have a squad who survived the mission, from the Wappa Dragoon platoon you started with.

>>11444365
The F/trop. The D type was probably sent off to Africa since we haven't seen a desert battlefield since the end of our operations with Mastadon Battalion.

Also a Zaku that has reached places no Zaku has reached before.

>>11444359

We really should offload the guncannon here at the evac point. Who knows whether the africa korps will let the transports go with such a tidbit.

>>11444365

The one on the right.
And for the record you didn't 'skip over' the prototype.
You just weren't the one they chose to test pilot it for once.

Probably because you were in space test piloting something else or somesuch.

>>11444399

Sure, there will probably be space on the Gaw's for it.

>>11444359
Ask Calvin if he wants to use his flipper or continue his beam weapon carnage by using the Gelgoog. If he wants the Gelgoog Bernie can use the Zaku FZ. If he has to run the hell away it'll give him the better chance.

>Model number: MS-06FZ
>Code name: Zaku II Kai
>Performance: maximum thruster acceleration 1.07 G

>Model number: RX-78-2
>Performance: maximum thruster acceleration 0.93 G

>>11444397
So the Zaku grinded to beyond racial max level?

>>11444493

You ask him about piloting the Gelgoog.

"Actually, if you've a got one of the Dowdages spare I can use them, they're sensor suite is pretty good, plus me and Ookawara have been working on an EWAC package for the Dom chassis, and this is probably the best chance we'll have to test it out."

AGREE?

>>11444584
YES.

Are you guys sure we should be shipping those gelgoogs to gihren held Africa before we arrive? His men did try and fuck up all the Gelgoog research at Pezun, wouldn't surprise me if they tried to finish the job or did something else sneaky; Gihren is an asshole and I imagine his supporters will be too.

>>11444584
Agree. Any upgrades from the Flipper is a good thing. We can throw Elaine in the Gelgoog then and give Bernie either a FZ or the Act if it's repaired by then.

>>11444584
YES! Then we can put Zol in a Gelgoog and he can use the Beam Naginata!

>>11444584
DID SOMEONE SAY "TESTING EQUIPMENT"?

BECAUSE I'M PRETTY SURE THAT'S WHAT OUR OUTFIT IS ALL ABOUT.

Plus, he'd be well defended and armed.

LET'S DO THIS.

>>11444601

We can get them to circle the base or head there at a slower speed so that we reach the meeting point at the same time.

>>11444601

You could probably arrange to have the transports and you arrive at the same time.

So, the requested load-out is: 2 Gelgoogs, 3 Pezun Dowdages, 1 Zaku Kai and the Rhinoceros?

> Dom EWAC package

>Ookawara been cooking up some new toys

YES. We do have a spare, right?

>>11444628

Does he still have that big ass heat sword?

>>11444664
That'd be it.

>>11444664

and another platoon of wappa dragoons if available.

Our boys need a break.

>>11444664

Yessir.

>>11444664
Rhino is our MA of the year, all years, Cla, Elaine, and Jolyne in the PZDDs, Zol and Dave in the Gelgoogs, and Bernie in the Zaku Kai?

>>11444714
>Cla
I MEANT CAL. AS IN CALVIN.

>>11444714
>>11444727

Sounds good to me

>>11444714
Unless the Act is repaired in time. If that happens, Bernie can have Dave's Gelgoog.

>>11444789
Bernie can handle a Zaku Kai better than a Gelgoog. Gelgoog is probably too twitchy for him.

>>11444672
Yes, there is a giant Heat-Buster Sword available in your armoury.

>>11444699
>>11444714

You place the call for your forces to be shipped to the tip of Africa, somewhere quiet and out of the way from California.You drop of the 123rd survivors.

You wait for confirmation whilst the Outer Heaven continues to aid the evacuating forces as Air Patrol.
About 15 minutes later...

"Commander! I'm sorry but it's all hands on deck over here! The best I can give you is 2 Fat Uncle transports! Everything else has been sequested by other units!"

"What!? Isn't there any way you can get a spare transport?"

"Hold on... wait, I've got an idea. We could ship the remainder by train to New York, if we flag it highest priority, and break some speed limits, then we might be able to get to New York and I KNOW that there are spare transports in New York."

"Then why don't you just transfer a transport over from there?"

"Because it would take 5 hours for it to arrive anyway! The downside is this, two Fat Uncles on time, and a third with the rest of the stuff you want an hour later. What do you think?"

"What about the infantry?"

"I might be able to scrounge up a platoon... California DEFINATELY has a couple to spare if you want to wait..."

YOUR ORDERS?
HOW DO YOU WISH TO LOAD YOUR TRANSPORTS?
EACH FAT UNCLE CAN CARRY 1 MA OR 3 MS

ALSO, BRB DINNER.

>>11444664
Yep.
>>11444699
That reminds me, we need to put both them and the guys we had in Vaun Braun in for a unit citation. And maybe promote some of our people?

Zol is already a full Lt, if he wants another promotion he's gotta prove he could lead a unit. I'd reccomend promoting both Jol and Elaine to ensign, Hovis to MCPO since he's essentially been an NCO for years, Calvin to Sgt and Bernie to Cpl.

>>11444838
I'm gonna say we load one plane with the two Gelgoogs and one Dowadge for the recon package. I'm on the fence about the other though. We could either load it up with the remainder of the suits or just take the Rhino. Either works.

>>11444867

>That reminds me, we need to put both them and the guys we had in Vaun Braun in for a unit citation.

Yes, yes we do.

>"Hold on... wait, I've got an idea. We could ship the remainder by train to New York, if we flag it highest priority, and break some speed limits, then we might be able to get to New York in 6 hours and I KNOW that there are spare transports in New York."

>"I might be able to scrounge up a platoon... New York DEFINATELY has a couple to spare if you want to wait..."

fixed for typos.

>>11444838
I think we should put our MSes on the two Fat Uncles, with everything else coming via NYC.
I'm expecting possible complications with the New York transport, so this at least gets us new suits which we desperately need.

>>11444882
I say take the MS. If we need to we can try to get a spare Hildolfir in Odessa, we know they have some. As for the Rhino it'll just have to arrive later.

>>11444838

Dammit.. Lets leave the rhino behind, 6 MSs will have to be good enough.

In this case lets drop a dowdage and see if we can get a dom cannon instead for Hovis.

Check with the surviving infantry at the evac site. Call for volunteers to aid in spotting at odessa, try to get a platoon strength.

If we can't get our act zaku ready, lets commandeer the Kampfer.

Time is of the essence.

>>11444921

Without the Rhino, we lose our fire support.

Does New York have a Hildorf we can use?

I remember them being used primarily for base defense...

>>11444953

Hence the dom cannon as a stop gauge until we reach odessa. The Hildofr squads should help.

>>11444915
True, I forgot about the Hidolfrs there. Let's go with all of the MS then. They should have a spare Hidolfr there we can borrow until the Rhino arrives. If not we can just keep the Guncannon II for now.

There's TWO Fat Uncles. Let's take two Dowadges, a Gelogoog, and the Rhino for now, they're really important.

>>11444966
>>11444984

But we'll be taking a capable pilot away from their hildorf.

It might be better to bring one with us, no?

>>11444995

I like this idea.

>>11445059
Key word here is spare. If there isn't, then Hovis can wait until the Rhino catches up with us. Either way we should have fire support units waiting for us. I'm still opposed to us running around stealing units from other pilots whenever it suits us.

Well, can't we take the two transports worth of suits and book it to the front, leaving the pilots for the other waiting for the last one on the beach, and have them show up later in a "suddenly, reinforcements!" kind of situation?

We need to make a triple Dowadge team attack. Like a circle-pit or aomething.

>>11445119
This. Because if we go with this option here>>11444995
it'll mean having three of our pilots out of action and not blowing stuff up while waiting for their suits to arrive. If we cant get something for Hovis at Odessa it'll mean 1 pilot waiting.

>>11444838
Can we get the Act repaired on the Outer Heaven? That would give us one exta MS (and a bloody good one at that), wouldn't it?

>>11445158
>Can we get the Act repaired on the Outer Heaven?
That's being done already.

I'm suddenly reminded that theres probably a few of these things currently at Jaburo.

In Bond of the Battlefield (The arcade game), it's utilised as an artillery platform.

Do you guys think this will work as until the rhino arrives?

>>11445241

gundam-kizuna.jp/english/game/ms.html

Link for those interested.

>>11445158
>>11445264

Those things barely work as a stop-gap AA Platform in Gihren's Greed. For which you no longer need due to mass production of the Gigan.

Okay so, over all requests seem to be for the MS to take the two Transports available, and the Rhino in the third transport to go directly to Odessa and reinforce you on the ground.

Okay?

>>11445306
See if NY Base can scramble some infantry and commando support for us as well. If they don't have to wait for anything from California, I think they can meet us in Africa.

>>11445336

This

What the status on our current suits from the Jaburo assault? Worst case, we might be able to cannibalize a few of them to get a single suit in good working order, and we've gotten some decent use out of those amphibious types, considering the beam weaponry.

>>11445336

I'd rather call for volunteers from the Jaburo attack force.

We'll need those guys on the ground when we land. Not coming in about an hour later.

Also, make sure the guncannon gets transfered to Gaws heading to california.

>>11445381

Yeah, volunteers are always good.

>>11445381
>>11445415
>>11445356

Your suits are in various states of disrepair, and probably wont be that useful in the upcoming battle.

As for troops. Your remaining squad although tired, are still up for combat.
Also, if you take troops from New York, they won't arrive until the Rhinoceros does.

>>11445484

How about the other infantry outfits sent to Jaburo?

California has no more left since they were committed to the attack.

We should be able to get enough soldiers to fill out a platoon.

>>11445484

Figured. Pulling parts and E-clips off multiple suits to bring whatever was in best condition up to snuff was a "if we must" move, anyway.

>>11445521

You ask Central Command if there are any unattatched infantry teams avaialable from the Jaburo assault.

Unfortunately it appears that there are none.

By this point about 45 minutes have passed and the last Gaw's are now loading up, it looks like it's time for you to make a move.

so 2 things:
Do you want troops from California, or from New York
and
Where exactly in Africa do you want to go to meet up with the transports?

>>11445592
1 vote for Morocco.

so whats the overall situation? im seeing that we cracked jaburo, only to fuck off to odessa? doesn't odessa have its own forces? it seems rediculous to leave jaburo just to defend odessa. we gain NOTHING from it. if we managed to destroy jaburo entirely then that would be something

>>11445592
>Do you want troops from California, or from New York

Both. More on the ground won't hurt. 2nd wave of infantry reinforcements would be nice.

How long will the trip be? Can we do anything during the flight?

>Deadline the

strangely fitting

Evacuation? Men, bring with you only what you can carry. I'm getting you back into space no matter what. Prepare the vaporization bomb. We're going out...

*Shades*

With a bang.

>>11445645

Yes Odessa has it's own forces, but not enough to stop the advance, or else they wouldn'dt have asked for everybodies help, including Gihren Loyalists.
(Odessa, being under M'Quve's control is pretty firmly Kycillia faction.)

Odessa is important because it's our primary source of resources. Without it we are well and truly fucked. Whereas with Jaburo, between our destruction of the MS block, plus whatever else the Mashiba team managed is probably not going to be making all much of a contribution to the rest of the war.

>>11445592
1. Primary infantry from New York; if they leave now, then they should arrive at the same time as us. Get a second unit from California to come along with the Rhino if they can spare some; more reinforcements can't hurt, and they'll be able to help guard the transport.

2. Morocco sounds fine, unless anyone can think of a better location.

>>11445696
>Both. More on the ground won't hurt. 2nd wave of infantry reinforcements would be nice.

Okay, both it is.

>How long will the trip be? Can we do anything during the flight?

The trip from Jaburo to Africa should take about 10 hours. You expect the first transports around about then.
I can't think of anything you should be doing, but I'm open to suggestions.

>>11445778

Seconding this. Also see if we can get one company supplied with smoke launchers and flares. We could use these guys to generally sow havoc and misdirection. After all, I doubt the Feds are going to casually ignore a Zeon attack flare coming from their flanks or rear. We could use this to hopefully draw out and spread their forces around to make it easier on the defense. And the smokes would be good for covering any counter attacks or tactical retreats.

>>11445800
Review whatever maps of Odessa we have, and try to tap into their comms network to get a picture of what the battlefield is so far. We need to hit the ground running when we get there.

>>11445800

Our team, Cirma's team and the surviving commandos will need a quick debrief. The war effort will need to know what we found, saw and did in Jaburo so they can do their projections and what not. Transmit to HQ and then rest as much as we can.

>>11445840
>>11445837
In addition to a quick debrief and giving our guys some rest, any way we can get some information from the battle at Odessa going on right now? General ideas of numbers and disposition of Fed forces?

Get docs on all commanders involved on our side. Review them and try to find out if there's any hotheads who might value the civil war higher than the battle of odessa. Getting backstabbed by "friendlies" is the last thing we need.

>>11445800
>The trip from Jaburo to Africa should take about 10 hours.
>I can't think of anything you should be doing, but I'm open to suggestions.

Promitions for the rest of the team?
>>11444867

Also see about reading through the rest of those captured papers and transmit copies of them.

>>11445800

Find Cima. Hit on her.

>>11445888

This too. Always important.

Also, anyone up for a typical Nachtmaren Sneak Attack? I was thinking something along the lines of a Steiner Orbital Drop....

>>11445881
>Promotions

I had a brainwave for something to award the infantry we fought alongside.

"Natchmaren Companion Calvary" since most of them were wappa riders.

Without them we won't be where we are.

>>11445965
Yeah, we should recognize our support personnel. Let them know that we consider them an important part of the team.

Be bros to everyone. Get with some ladies.

>>hustling pupil

My Captcha agrees with me.

>>11445945

Nah. We need to make a big splash, grab as much attention on the way in as we can to take pressure off the Odessa defenders. If we can spot points where they're lining up artillery and the like for bombardment, drop in and start swatting them as we go inwards.

High-altitude drops waste time here and expose us to any random aerospace assets they've got flying around to boot.

>>11446047
Even with the civil war going on I think Zeon still has space superiority. It's been our greatest advantage so far.

>>11446047

I dunno. Small elite units can't do much in a pitched line battle. We'll just hold the line better and die slower.

We'd be better off used as shocktroops harrying the enemy's flanks and eliminating high value targets in hit and fade strikes. We should be disrupting the enemy's chain of command as much as possible. It'll be the common soldiers who'll take advantage of the confusion and secure odessa.

>>11446047
My god. Does the captured guncannon have one of the beam spray guns? If we started equipping some of our warships with turreted versions of those they would make for epic level point defense.

>>11446047
Dude, we're the Nachtmaren. Our mere presence has a big enough splash to empty half the Atlantic ocean.

>>11445965
>>11445995

Honestly, any Wappa units that work with us should be getting a special patch for being calvary that's been the Federation's worst dream. Something like this.

>>11445837
>>11445837
>>11445840
>>11445872
>>11445879

You supply the papers you found to Anita who transmits them to Zeon Intelligence.

As for the situation in Odessa...
The Odessa Mining operation extends around the city of Odessa, from the town's of Baraboi, Alterstove and Sverdlove in a roughly circular pattern.
Odessa regional control is just north of city, in the town of Kotovka.
Beyond that, the defensive lines extend out roughly 10 miles out, and consist of 5 defensive lines, attended permanently by at least 1 MS Battalion plus Tanks, MA's and Air Units.
Details are sketchy, but reports indicate that the defenders have a decent number of Dom Mobile Suits as well as Hildolfr's.

As for the attacking forces, current estimates are rough at best, but everything implies a major push of AT LEAST 1 mixed forces Division of Mobile Suits, Tanks, Land Battleships and Fighters. Several Pegasus class carriers have been sighted, and it is strongly believed that General Revil is overseeing this attack.

>>11446174

Well, someone's been reading our book.

>>11446088
We should prioritize enemy artillery units and headquarters, as well as any logistical targets of opportunity.

Let's see you fire your guns without any ammo, Feddies!

ARE YOU HERE RESEARCHER SAM?

>>11446196

That's why I was suggesting targeting artillery centers, if we can find them. That's what's going to reduce defensive lines best and quickest, so flattening them 1) puts less firepower on Odessa and 2) forces them to split their attention across the largest amount of territory and the worst angle for trying to direct fire at both Odessa and the relief force (that is, us).

If the Feddies are dumb enough to leave their back side exposed to us, we should stab it. Repeatedly. Unless we can get Gihren's forces to do it. I hear he's practiced at that.

>>11446174
Zeon special forces equipped with beam weapons will need to deal with those carriers and a good number of the suits. The local Hildolfers and Zaku II's should be more than a match for any conventional vehicles and land battleships. The Doms are fast enough to act as roving heavy weapons and fast attack teams, rapidly punching through Federation lines then retreating.

Has Zeon deployed any MS-05L's yet? That'd seriouly help against Fed Mobile suits.
>captcha: idea launchers

>>11446174

Almost forgot. Do we have ANY assets in P-Odessa? Even empty HLVs.

>>11446271
Smashing a wedge into the back of their formations sound good. Then we go find Bandit and duel him.

>>11446284

Possibly some HLV's. Forces in orbit over Odessa have been called away to reinforce, Pezun, Solomon and Kycillia supporting Sides.

>>11446295
Bandit should only be dealt with if he's a huge problem to the situation in Odessa. Blunting their attack and chances of Odessa falling are more important than our duel with him... At least until it looks like the Feds can't hold the place.

>>11446314

Can we 'drop' them?

:D

>>11446295
Bandits back in Jaburo.
Go read Pt68's Omake if you want to know who's waiting for us in Odessa.

>Zeon special forces equipped with beam weapons will need to deal with those carriers and a good number of the suits.

There's only one Beam heavy Zeon Special Forces unit.
You.

>MS-05L

???

>Several Pegasus class carriers have been sighted

Whelp. Looks like it's time to rack up a carrier kill or two. I wonder if Zol's heat-cleaver can take off the flying bridge of one of those in a single extra-large swing?

>>11446327

...sure, why not?
Although if you have to evacutate Odessa, they might be a good back-up option.

>>11446337
>There's only one Beam heavy Zeon Special Forces unit.
>You.
I'm aware of that.

>>MS-05L
>???
This thing. http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/harmony/ms-05l.htm
They're heavily modified Zaku I's that carry a second powerplant. It gives them enough kick to use a beam rifle.

>>11446337
>MS-05L

Sniper Zakus with beam cannons.

>>11446371

Ghost buster Zakus?

I was curious - would it be possible to contact the Flanigen institute, I think it was, for help? Getting Newtype assisstance would be pretty useful in a situation like this.

>>11446353

What do you guys think of dropping HLVs on the thickest concentrations of fed troops?
(No braking basically)

>>11446371
Oh those guys.

Nope. Sorry.

>but farrelly

Dammit recaptcha, "farrelly" isn't a proper adjective!

So, the general plan is to land in Morrocco, swap old and busted for new and hotness, then fly over to Odessa and attempt to combat drop on Operation Odessa's Artillery sites and supply lines?

>>11446414

Thats a bit like burning our bridges.

>>11446420
I believe so.
Is there any way that we can get some air cover?

>>11446414
Only if they're already damaged. As stated we may need some if we need to evac.

>>11446420

If we can get an updated status stuff that would be cool.

>>11446409

Given it's connections with the Kycillia faction, odds are calls have already been made.

>>11446424

It's odessa. I'm kinda in the mindset that we stand or we die since if we retreat, we're totally fucked.

>>11446420
Yes.

Any pegasus class carriers that turn around to help the artillery and supply lines is one less that can support the front.

>>11446434
Updated status on what? Odessa? Your reinforcements?

>>11446444
Given the damage done to Jaburo the loss of Odessa might just put us back on equal footing with the Feds. It might not be an auto-lose on Earth scenario like it was in canon.

Still let's make sure we don't lose Odessa anyways.

>>11446450

I was thinknig Odessa, so we can get a good view on whats where.

... maybe kidnap Revil... and or pinpoint supply/ staging points. Ammo dumps, MS repair and resupply.

... Wait... Africa?

Is there any way to get Char? Him and us at Odessa is basically a big big win....

>>11446463

We blew up Jaburo's manufacturing. Odessa is still where we get most of our minerals so if we lose that, there'll be nothing left to produce with.

>>11446463
A loss at Odessa would deprive us of its massive mining operations. If the Feds take hold of it it might give them the edge they need to step up production at Belfast or Luna II.

>>11443281
We got back to erf, debriefed with Garma, waited until he stopped faceplaming then got ordered to South America. There we ran around, secured intel, got one of our Dom Tropical test types cripped and had to self destruct it and then proceeded to Rescue Cima's team.
After that we returned to North America and prepped for the next assault on Jaburo.
We burned through most of a thread arguing over what our Assault loadout would be and sent commando teams into Jaburo most of a week ahead of time to mark targets.

We infiltrated Jaburo via a waterway our intel uncovered and met up with Incognitto who told us they'd put beacons on everything important, but that the MS production block kept getting moved so we'd have to chase it down. Cima's team went out and played attention whore to distract feddies while we went after the MS production. Our shit nearly got wrecked and Hovis lost his Zock and nearly his life to ROCKS FALL EVERYONE DIES. We spent quite awhile brurning through a Luna titanium door then got into MS production and fought a series of MS vs MS battles in there.
>Cont.

>>11446500
Hovis stole a Guncannon II but we missed some Gundams being shipped out. So we sent a railway tanker bomb rolling towards the Fed GHQ before having to fight the Blue Destiny. Our shit nearly got wrecked big blue until Nimbus Schwarzen showed up and chased it off. When we finally blew it MS production block it made a big enough bang that it destroyed the defensive emplacements on the surface directly above it.

After that we headed for the HQ, linked up with Midnight Fenrir and killed the Gundam Mudrock. Bernie nearly got killed by a beamsaber but we threw our luna titanium shield to knock that hand aside, losing us the shield. Our suits were beat up even worse by then so we retreated to a hanger entrance hat that the MF had came in through. Mashiba team linked up with us there and we blew away the opposition until what we thought were going to be our reinforcements arriving.
Then this thread.

Can Hildorf's elevate high high to shoot down capital ships?

Because those cannons are overpowered as hell.

>>11446536
According to IGLOO, Hidolfrs can go from 0 to 90-degree elevation in a matter of seconds, so that should be easily doable if the Pegasi are dumb enough to stray within battery range.

Also who the hell is Commissioner Vogel, captcha.

>>11446507
>almost fought the blue destiny

PARTY WIPE AVERTED

>>11446536
From the looks of the pic, I'd say maybe 20 degrees max. Though Apologized is in the driver's seat, so who knows.\

Also, "funny potential" captcha. I say do it and go all high altitude commando on the artillery emplacements and supply depots.

>>11446507

You forgot to mention the part where 4chan incongruously banned me for no reason and we lost a week.

But anyway.

You are approaching Morocco. I feel I should point out that nobody has as of yet, actually told the Gihren friendly Zeon forces in control of the region that you're coming.
Do you bother?
There's probably enough minovsky particles floating about the place to disguise the entire operation. But that's hardly what I would call diplomatic.

Also, one thing that wasn't addressed. If were going straight on after the first transports arrive, and then were attacking the enemy rear right from the off...
When does Hovis get his Rhino?

>>11446566


Holy shit. Well considering we should have an EW Dom, we might be able to have them shoot for close to max range say, 30 kloms?

Belinda Woodbury captcha approves

>>11446599

I guess we should contact them. Even if gihren is a retarded dog, and I apologise to dogs, we should at least let them know that we're just resupplying in their area and will be advancing to Odessa to lift the siege. Ask for their cooperation for safe passage.

Oh and ask to speak to char.

>>11446599
On Earth we are all Garma friendly. Need to know operations happen and dropping a special forces team behind enemy lines is certainly need to know.

>>11446599

We tell them. We tell them our mission.

If they're willing to sacrifice the safety of Odessa and the entire Earth front to try and kill us...

... well, thats a propaganda victory for us.

>>11446638
I know we are very elite and all that, but how exactly can we do a defense in depth on widely divided mining sites? I guess the hildorf squads will help but if we (the elites) are distracted by their elites history will go the same course as canon.

Captcha: dissolute that

>>11446589

sup/tg/ really needs to finish the server transfer so you can read how that fight went down. I'm actually pretty proud of it.

>>11446668

Basically all of us shitting our collective pants.

And zolomon being a CQB monkey.

>>11446668
It was us being unable to hit it, we broke limiter, then another plot related character chased him off. It was interesting and well written, but nothing to repeat. IMO

>>11446638
>>11446640

Still. We ARE landing on these guys turf and a little "Rah Rah Sieg Zeon" might not be uncalled for.

>>11446707
>>11446657

Okay, so we tell them then.

>>11446707
>>11446638
>>11446657

Sounds good. Knowing Gihren though, we probably won't receive a warm reception.

>>11446730

Check if char is in the area.

>>11446749
Char better not be. We don't have more wingmen for him today.

>>11446749
Char was transferred to space. He could be on his way back though.

>Captcha: (My IRL name here)
WTF, how did it know my name?!

>>11446730
Lets just not do it in such a way that boils down to:
>KNOCK KNOCK GIHREN-FAGS! NACHTMAREN ACES COMMIN' THROUGH, SO YOU BEST RESPECT!!!
...Just a call to the commander of the local forces to tell them that we're using one of their beaches as a resupply point on our way to save the zeonic cause on earth.

And if Char's is around, he's probably headed to Odessa already. A party this big is just going to be packed full of squad mates for him to up and vanish on in the heat of battle. He wouldn't miss a chance to be this big of a dick for the world. Still, asking wouldn't hurt.

Guys, why ARE we talking to Char, other than polite MANLY MEN TALKING MANLY THINGS talk?

Trolling Char right now with The Teacup or the like is risking him going postal at the worst possible time.

(Getting him to join us in Operation Surprise Buttsecks Federation on the other hand strikes me as having two very capable fists punching the Feddies in the kidneys till they cough blood and leave...if we can get him to stop chasing his current obsession, whatever THAT is.)

(Captcha: Of passion. WTF,)

>>11446869

THats what I wanted. Nachtmaren and Char. On the same battlefield. And on the same side.

>>11446931

Pounding the federation in the same hole.

>>11446869

>>11446869
>Trolling Char

but it's so tempting considering it's the only thing he does right up until UC 0093

>>11446869

That was the idea actually.

And if we do run into a certain white devil, he can take care of it without dying while we wreck shit elsewhere.

>merciless mobile

srlys?!

You have Anita relay a message to the local area commander that you'll be touching down to swap damaged mobile suits with fresh ones from California.

Anita doesn't give much of a chance to disagree, but you dont think he sounds like the type to rock the boat for the sake of it.

You pass the time before the landing making promotion requests for everybody on the team up to Ensign.

"You know boss, it's a real shame this outfit doesn't give frequent flyer miles"
Zolomon comments as you touchdown.

"Yeah yeah." you reply as the Outer Heavens bay doors open you and exit first, checking the immiediate area.
You aren't expecting trouble, but you've learnt not to completely discount it either. After scanning the area, the rest of the team exit with their damaged suits.

About 5 minutes later the Fat Uncles join you and their reinforcements begin to offload.
"The Transport carrying the Rhino redirected itself direct to Odessa, and they should be about an hour to 45 minutes behind you."
The techs inform you.

"How many troops were you able to get?"

"Another 2 squads, luckily we managed to get some Wappa for them to ride. The Californa transport's carrying another Platoon of Dragoons once it arrives."

You scan the skyline again. The sun is beginning to set, you'd better hurry. Who knows how much time the Odessa attack has left.
On the other hand, you've always been pretty effective at night attacks.

The remaining MS's swap over, your MSM's for a pair of Gelgoogs, a Zaku Kai for Bernie and a pair of Pezun Dowdages, all in Nachtmaren colours.

Within 15 minutes you're loaded up and on your way.

>if we can get him to stop chasing his current obsession
Aside from being a bit of a dick, the last we heard his current obsession was hunting down White Base. We've had reports that there are a number of Pegasus class ships taking part in the attack, which means that Amuro might already be at Odessa. This could be a problem, but it might mean that Char's heading there already.

What really matters is actually getting US there so we can mess up all of those other people that are causing problems. If we can successfully defend Odessa, the whole tone of the ground war is going to change with the smoking holes we let in Jaburo.

>Nachtmaren and Char, on the same side
Char is never on anyone's side. Ever.

Alright, we make sure everyone is loaded up. And then we prep everyone on drop operations. Then lets do this shit.

>>11447015
He's on whatever side supplies the most teenage girls

That's why he joined AEUG, paptimus directly opposed his goal.

>>11447002

We did bring that EWAC package right?

>>11447058

Should be.

Remember, no Zaku.

>>11447039
>Alright, we make sure everyone is loaded up. And then we prep everyone on drop operations. Then lets do this shit.

CHOOSE YOUR LOADOUTS.

David: Act Zaku (El Muerto Grande)
Zolomon: Gelgoog (Giant Heat Saber)
Jolyne: Gelgoog
Elaine: Pezun Dowdage
Calvin: Pezun Dowdage-E (being fitted)
Bernard: Zaku Kai
Hovis: Twiddling Thumbs

(Note: The E type equipment for the Dowdage would be damaged if it uses it's traditional bazooka weaponry.)

>>11447159

Don't we have a spare Dowdage?

>>11447159

Are Gelgoogs and Dowdages compatible with Dodais?

>>11447159
I still say that Elaine is a better choice for the Gelgoog then Zol. That way we don't have a beam rifle and naginata go to waste, and she's arguably the second best all-rounder pilot we have, after Lister. I'd stick him in a Gelgoog as well if we have any of the giant 8-tube launchers for the Dowadges.

>>11447159

So the Act Zaku is all fixed up?

>>11447159
The Act Zaku was repaired enough in time? How much ammo is left and do we have the 3rd Dowdage?

If there's not much ammo left have Hovis take the Act Zaku and hang out with the ship while waiting for the Rhino. David takes a Gelgoog.

>>11447002
What are Dragoons exactly?

>>11447246

Commandos on Wappas with Anti MS weaponry and spotting equipment.

>>11447159
Have Zolomon and Elaine switch places.
Dave should stay in El Muerte Segundo; the magnetic coating lets him push it to the limit without wrecking it, and the Beam Carbine probably suits his close-quarters shooting style better.
Now I have Push it to the Limit stuck in my head.

>>11447194
>Are Gelgoogs and Dowdages compatible with Dodais?

Dowdage no, Gelgoog MIGHT be able to ride one, although it won't be as maneouvable as with a Zaku.

>>11447233
>>11447216

Yes the Act Zaku was repaired in the 10 hours you had. Keep in mind that none of the damage was very serious. As for reloads, there are enough aboard the outer heaven to fully restock you. Along with all of the other Zaku and Act-Zaku grade weaponry you've been using until now.

>>11447212
Swap Elaine and Zolomon over then?

>>11447246
Mounted infantry. Originally Dragoons were french riflemen who used horses to ride to battle, and then fought on foot.
Since the recoil from Zeonic AT weaponry makes the Wappa unstable, Zeon infantry have adopted somewhat similar tactics.

>>11447329

Hamburger needs as many 'nades as he can carry.

>>11447318
We have seriously got to get the Act Zaku upgraded at some point with higher output thrusters and engines from the Unified Maintinence Plan. Or get a Gelgoog Jaeger with magnetic coated joints.

Would Pezun be doing a limited production run of Act Zaku's to make up for the Gelgoog sabotage?

>>11447329
>>11447288
Ah, okay. So kind of like our infantry Wappa platoon, only these guys have anti-MS weaponry?

>>11447391

Well, it's kinda difficult to get an infantry weapon with enough Oomph to hurt a Mobile Suit. Tanks are doable, but best use the Dragoons are is popping smoke and acting as recon.

LET'S DO THIS THING!

As we approach Odessa, first look for anywhere in the Fed lines that aren't so well protected that we could hassle first before meeting up with the rest of Zeonic forces.

>>11447329
Quick question. Just how well known and respected is the Nactmaren Unit and David?

I mean, does the average human know about us? Do we have official merchandise? Are there internet arguments about who David is "destined" to end up with? Is there disturbing yaoi of David, Garma, Char, and Zoloman? And if there is, is David a top or a bottom?

The anwsers to these questions must be known!

>>11447520
Dave is always on top. Always.

Captcha: slumber motives

The Propaganda machine is beginning to notice you, but much of your reputation comes from word of mouth. Most civilians don't know your name, but they vaguely recognise the name Nachtmaren.

2 Gelgoogs, 3 Pezun Dowdages and a Zaku Kai.

Why?

>>11447159
>Bernard: Zaku Kai

If we're in the Act should we give Bernie the third Dowdage?

>>11447729

You can do, but people were specifically asking for Bernie in the Zaku Kai, as it plays to his strengths.

>>11447725
Just making sure is all.

So are we going straight in and hitting the Feds from behind or are we going in to Odessa to try and pickup some intel first/ wait for the Rhino?

>>11447799

I don't know. Whatever you think would be best.
At the moment I'd like some loadout suggestions for the team.
At the moment all I have is: Give Bernie loads of Grenades and other ordinance
Also, you could always put Hovis in the spare Dowdage for the time being.

David Act Zaku
Zol Gelgoog with giant sword (in addition to the normal stuff. )
Jol Dowdage
Elaine Gelgoog
Calvin Dowdage Custom
Bernie Zaku Kai

Hovis Dowdage for the moment

I've realised that Calvin's Dowdage could potentially make use of Zol's Beam Rifle if he were convinced to part with it. That was the argument for Zol not getting the Gegoog afterall.

whats with all the 404 in the archives, these threads up anywhere else so i can catch up?

>>11447832

Hovis in spare Dowdage. Everyone with additional ammo, and grenades.

Where is the Outer Heaven going after it drops us off?

>>11447832

I'm voting stick Hovis in the spare Dowdage, but have him stick with the Outer Heaven to provide some defence if necessary. We have about forty five minutes after we arrive before his Rhino shows up, so let's make as much use of that time as we can.


First, David, Zol, Jol, Elaine, Calvin and Bernie get dropped onto the back of the Feddie lines and perform some hit and runs on such targets as present themselves. Then we rendezvous with the OH and get to the Odessa defenses. Their commander probably has a better idea of the situation on the ground, and can put us to better use than just blowing up random targets of opportunity.

Opinions?

>>11448086
Wow. I had no idea the FZ could carry that much kit. Bernie's gonna be jetting around in a Kaempfer-lite with that much ordnance on him.

Anyway, was working on a similar list but with panzer/sturmfausts on the Act and FZ. Maybe replace the smoke grenades on the Act with them.

>>11448086

We don't have one of those new 90mm bullpups for Calvin?

Otherwise, looks good.

>>11448086
Sounds good. Lets do this thing!

>>11448086
Give Zol extra heat hawks, otherwise fine. We need to get Zol a beam saber at some point though.

>>11448133

Zaku's may not be the flashiest of Zeon's mobile suits, but they're damn good pack horses when you need them to be.

>>11448139
New isn't quite the word. Prototype is closer. You've only got the one and it was the one that your Act Zaku shipped with. Still give it to him?

>>11448086
Looks good, but maybe switch out the smokes on the Act with some panzerfausts.

>>11448203

Replace his 120mm with a pair of Hawks shouldn't too hard.

>>11448221
Sure, it'll probably be a night raid anyway.

Okay off we go then.

>>11448086
You gave the Act Zaku two Heat Hawks.

>>11448321
If it has room for them, is that such a bad thing?

After prepping your team you prepare for a night time raid to the rear of the enemy formation.
From the information on the situation, it seems that enemy forces have already reached the third defensive line, but reinforcements from the Jaburo mission started to arrive a few hours before you and those troops have begun filtering out to the front where needed and the line is starting to stabilise.
But one big push could still spell disaster for you.

Currently locations of enemy supply lines have been kept relatively secret from our intelligence.
But you have found a fairly heavy Artillery force that are causing severe damage to the static defences near Vyhoda.
It looks like 2 Big Tray class battleships and a pair of Assault Gun companies. But they have at least a company of Mobile Suits and several Tank units supporting them.
Plus there's been reports of Pegasus class carriers acting in the area.
Despite this, it still looks like the best place to cause some chaos and take pressure off of the base defenders a little.

YOUR ORDERS?

>>11448384
Actually it probably can hold two, so I guess why not?

>>11448384
After what we did to the Mudrock with one, Zolomon must be rubbing off on us. Therefore, more is always good.

>>11448393
Go in for a lightening strike, The Big Trays and the assault gun companies need to go. Only engage the other forces if they are directly in the way or are a threat to your continued existence.

Captch >The bridge

Sounds like a musical suggestion to me.

>>11448393
Sound like a good place to hit. See if the defenders can scare up any fighters to cover us. We should take out those Big Trays first, that should hurt their command and control a bit.

If M'quve launches a nuke at Odessa we strap that mutherfucker to one of Zol's heathawks and see how far he can throw it.

>>11448393
Let's turn tonight into a really bad day for some Feddies.

>>11448393
We hit the Guntanks and the Battleships. Gelgoogs dissect the battleships while Zol and Dave wreck the Guntanks. Bernie acts as support for whoever needs it.

>>11448393
Hit and fade. Take out the Big Trays and as many Assault Guns as we can, then retreat.

All air cover is currently in combat or under repair and refueling. Any air cover would be on a push basis, and only for something REALLY important. Like you find Revil, or you find Revil and he's with another 100 GM's, or you find Revil his 100 GM's and they're being led by the Gundam.
Stuff like that.

>Let's turn tonight into a really bad day for some Feddies.

Night. Technically, It's about 10 at night.

Okay, Airdrop, target the Big Tray's first then, the Assault guns then make your retreat before too many of the tanks and Mobile Suits respond.

On the way in you have to shake a roving wing of enemy fighters, but the Outer Heaven manages to lose the pursuit, for now.
As the bay doors open you mount the roof of your ship and spot your target. It's a bit hard to miss with all of that muzzle fire from the Big Tray's.

"Okay! We go in, we hit fast, and we hit hard. I want those Big Tray's out in under 5 minutes and the Assault Guns in 8 and I want us back in the air 10, 15 at the latest! We DON'T hang around here! Stick close to your wingman and keep on mission. Calvin you watch out for enemy reinforcements, Hovis you cover him, Jolyne, Elaine we'll take the first Battleship, Zolomon, Bernard you take the second. And Zolomon, no showboating we don't have the time. Ready?"

"Sir!" They all chorus.

The seven of you dive into the night towards the enemy fire.

Very good, comrade.

Falling at high speed you all angle yourselves for the best line of attack. At 200 meters you all drop grenades or fire bazooka shots at your targets and hit your thrusters to complete your HANO drop wduring the initial chaos and confusion.
Explosions blossom the ground below you and you land amidst explosions.
You quickly sight your target, the enemy Big Tray.

"Elaine, you and Jolyne take out the main turret's, I'll take the command superstructure!"
Beams flash out from behind you as you leap upwards onto the Big Tray, confused gunners spray defensive fire at you, but there shooting is inaccurate. You put 3 rapid beam shots into the bridge and follow it up with 3 more to make sure.
The port side Turret erupts upwards in a plume of fire as a shot from Jolyne lances through it, and you leap off just time as it's ruptured ammo magazine brews up and detonates. You're sensors pick up another explosion to the north east, looks like Zolomon's on track as well.

>>11448888
You see the tracked Assault Guns retreat from you at high speed and you pull out your Bazooka and give chase, your explosions taking the clustered artillery pieces in groups. Elaine and Jolyne following you up with devestating beam fire.

"Watch out! Enemy Guntanks to your left!" Zolomon warns and you dodge out of the way of close range cannon fire. You turn to see 3 MP Guntanks advancing away from you for better firing postions.
Until Zolomon's giant Heat Saber is brutally thrown into the formation, the giant whirling blade slices on of the Guntanks in half, severs the Cockpit head and main guns of another before lodging itself into the torso block of the third.
It jerkily tries to raise it's gun-arm to fire at you, only for Bernards Zaku Kai to nimbly jump onto the blade lodged in it and off into the darkness, slicing cleanly through and severing the Guntank in half.
The blade spins about in the air, before a high moving Zolomon grabs it in mid dash.

After this, the Assault Guns organised retreat becomes a route, and your able to inflict punishing casualties on it well under your deadline. Which is good as...

"Sir! Incoming reinforcements! Mix of Tanks and Mobile suits, Eta 90 seconds!" calls Calvin over the comm.
A flash of ruby light lances past you, near to your position.
"Possibly sooner!"

YOUR ORDERS? ALSO, BE QUICKISH, IT'S GETTING LATE.

>>11448910
Fade in, fade out.

Time to fade out of the attack zone.

>>11448910

Unload on the big tray keep some ammo handy. Have Bernie hold onto those chain mines for our exfil.

Mines+smoke= hilarity.

>>11448910
Estimated numbers?

Also: Jesus Christ, Zolomon.

>>11448910
Get out. Let's get the OH here for extraction, or run back to our lines or somewhere else if that would be safer/quicker.

>>11448910
Time to get the fuck out of dodge. God I love our colour scheme.

>>11449005
>>11448999
>>11448945
These guys know what they are talking about

Get the fuck out, back to the OH and find some more shit to sodomize . . . . I mean . . . SOLomize (amiright??)

>>11448945

You order Calvin to get you into contact with the Outer Heaven and order a quick evac.

"We're currently tied up! Those fighters we evaded earlier are back, and this time they brought friends. Some kind upgunned Core-Fighter! It'll take us a few minutes to get rid of... holy shit are those beam weapons? LAUNCH THE ANTI-BEAM CHAFF PODS!"

Contact is cut off by Captain Mauser at this point.
Enemy numbers are reported at being at least 9 Mobile Suits and about 45 tanks.
You are currently in wide open terrain with no cover.

About 5 minutes run to your west is a small deserted village (the Dowdages could make it in about 1 or 2 minutes if they split from the group.)

To the east are more fields.
To the north are yet more fields

YOUR ORDERS?

>>11449041

Dowadges run interference while we make a run for the village.

Bernie has a lot of explosives. Lets let im use some

>>11449041
Dowdages split ASAP. Break off from the group, run at full speed to the village

the rest of the squad regroups and makes a TEMPORARY stand to buy time for the Dowdages to set up ambush in the village.

Then the rest of the squad splits, runs headlong for the village and hopefully leads the feddy MS into an ambush

And no, captcha, I am not polyester

>>11449041
Head to & secure the village and prepare an ambush while we wait for the OH to make its way to us.

Have the Dowdages go a short distance ahead of the rest as a screening force.

>>11449041
While I might initially say Village the second that the surviving artillery get organised it's going to be leveled. Still I suppose it'll give us some cover for a few minutes.

>>11449060
>>11449071
>>11449075

Okay consensus is make for the Village. Opinions differ on whether we have the Dowdages or the rest of the team delay the oncoming forces.

Opinions?

>>11449041
Fighting retreat towards the village, split the group in two, alternating between retreating and giving covering fire.

>>11449041
Which was is friendly lines? We can outrun tanks and GMs, right? Once we're in the 3rd defense line we'll be okay. Maybe get Calvin to call for some Hildoflr support to cover us as we go.

>>11449093
Dowdages.


Captcha: locate football
I hope that's not a nuclear football.

>>11449093
The PZDDs are faster, so they should run interference. However, we are David Lister, and as CO, WE hold off the enemy for the fighting retreat.

PZDDs and Lister hold off the enemy.

Eh, I'll just pick one.

You order the Dowdages to use their superior ground speed, and their Beam Spray Weapons in flash mode to stun the opposition and keep them off balance whilst you make your way to the Village and set up ambushes.

You give Zol, Calvin and Hovis a spread of covering fire and then quickly make your way west.
Behind you you hear explosionions and unidentified noises.

"Watch out! Those Green GM's have improved upper armour."

".... watch out for the Rail Guns Calvin, they aren't beam rifles, but they'll still leave a mark!"

"...Keep moving, we'll encircle them once more and retreat!"

You manage to make it to the village unmolested. You order the rest of the team to take up ambush positions and to quickly check for enemy in the village. Whilst the rest take up positions, you check behind a village church.

You barely manage to leap aside before the crimson beam shot fills the air. You fire a burst through church at where the enemy was, but there's a flash of white and the Gundam evades.

"Sir! We've got Dom remains here! It looks like Black Tri-Sta..."

"HE'S STILL HERE YOU IDIOTS! GET TO MY POSITION NOW! IT'S THE WHITE DEVIL!"

...TO BE CONTINUED

>>11449243
FUUUUUUUUCK!
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!

>>11449243
>We've got Dom remains here! It looks like Black Tri-Sta..

Fuuuuuuck. So much for getting their Doms upgraded to Pezun Dowdages. If that'd happened they might have actually stood a chance.

>>11449243
We only have one choice. We have to screw up all our awesomeness and rock his face off.

>>11449243

To the Black Tri Stars!

They were men amongst men.

>>11449118

Are you really Researchersam? The autistic farting gay bashing troll who hates GMs?

>>11449307
But we're potentially knocking ourselves out of the battle. Odessa is too important for that. Taking out one Gundam won't change this battle and we should be out there making sure our lines hold. We need to lose this thing and get back into the fight.

>>11449306

Might not have made a difference in the long run. Amuro's progress has probably been accellerated somewhat compared to canon.

also, to all those suggesting theme music for Nachtmaren.
Might I suggest tunes from Area 88?
Were already theived their unit symbol, might as well go the whole hog.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HG7Jcfl0zf0

>>11449351
Being hounded all over Africa would probably do that. We probably replaced the entire Ral arc with nothing but nonstop battles with the Tri-Stars, Char, and Desert Rommel and whoever else Gihren stuffed down there.

Is the /tg/ archive at least able to take this as an archive despite the server move?

>>11449332
Lose him where? The only chance of survival we have is to try and kick the shit out of him until something comes along to save our asses. Probably Char.

>>11449375

It IS archived. I think most of the stuff archived since the move started is still accessable.
And like I said earlier, Easymodo is still an option.

Nanoha?! God dammit.

Captcha: the irate. Indeed.

What do we have that can actually harm the Gundam besides our beam carbine? Part of me thinks we should keep the Gundam occupied while some of the others set up a kill zone with traps and such and then try to lure it there but I don't even know what we have that will hurt it.

>>11449435
The PZDDs have the Mounted Beam Cannons in the torso area, but since Amuro dealt with the Tri-Stars and their Jet Stream Attack, he might be wise to them.

There's also the Grosse Beil, but I don't know if a mere heat weapon would be enough.

Right. His Plot armor is to thick to let us kill him. But we can scratch it.

I propose a new plan. We must carve "Amuro is a faggot" onto the Gundam. And if we have the time "David of the Nachtmaren totally fucked his shit up."

Have the Dowdages ping him with their chest beams set for scatter mode when they catch up, then stay at range and deal with any GM's catching up. Ideally we want to diarm the Gundam of it's beam rifle then have Elaine or Jolyne come in at him with their beam naginatas.

I like it, but change David to The Skull Knight. I desperately want that nickname to be associated with David.

I thought that plot armor was irrelevant right now.

>>11449602
It's no longer relevant in that it's not impossible for Amuro to die.

>>11449243
