Command Nexus: Operation Fallout

[DeathByTheSword]

Command Nexus members and other UN citizens hereby i present a plan [codename: Fallout] to take over the following of morgan bases:
*Morgan Mines
*Morgan Robotics
*Morgan Transport

this will have the following DIRECT concequences:
*war with Morgan
*less income because we will not be trading with Morgan
*no new techs that morgan will discover
*expansion of our faction

this will have the following INDIRECT concequences:
*need for military buildup
*will stop morgan apply pressure against our Eastern borders
*will stop morgan expand towards the west
*will increase our enegry supply

this is what i think is needed for this operation:
*missilelauncher tech
*1: transporter
*4: (6-2t-2) (rovers)
*6-8: (6-1-1) (infantry)
*1-2: formers
*save area in [30.102] (River north of Crystalis)
*save shipping lane from New Suez to [39.96] (beach between Morgan Mines and Morgan Transport)

the plan is this:

Our main force will be in [30.102](river north of Crystalis)
this will be:
*all infantry units
*2 rovers
*all formers

our secondary force will (probably) be in [35.95] just outside Morgan territory and beachlanding in [39.96] (beach between Morgan Mines and Morgan Transport)
this will be:
*1 transporter
*2 rovers
*any additional sea escort that is needed

when war is declared either by us or by morgan:
turn 1:
main force will move towards Morgan mines. the rovers that are with them will attack every hostile unit outside of the base.
secondary force will do nothing
turn 2:
main force will arrive at [33.101] (rocky tile SW,SW of Morgan mines)
Secondary force will land at [37.97] (fungus) or [36.98] (normal tile) and will attack any reinforcements or other units in the M mines, M transport, M Robotics area

turn 3:
main force will move in to the fungus SW of M mines. rovers first so that they can kill any worm that are there
secondary force will attack any unit outside the bases

turn 4-5:
main force infantry units will attack and take over M mines
one unit will stay behind as garrison

turn 5-6:
main force will rest in M mines until all units are 100%

turn 6-11:
main force will move towards Morgan Robotics

turn 11-12:
main force infantry will attack and take over M robotics

turn X:
main force infantry will attack and take over M transport

turn X+1:
peace will be sign with morgan

former orders:
they will make a road toward M mines and when that is finish will make one towards M robotics and so on
this is for the case that we need to send in reinforcements

additional plans:

*first turn of the war probe teams could attack several Morgan bases
*turn 4-5 probe teams could subvert M Robotics
*bring allong a probe foil to subvert M tranport in turn 2 and land rovers from transport there to attack any counter attacks or reinforcements for M mines and M robotics

to make this plan work i will need:
*probe units from the DEI
*building orders for the DIA
*majority of UN citizens to agree

This is my plan that i submit to the Command Nexus and the citizens of the UN. there is now room for debate.

/me thinks DBTS is bored

Don't you have any pencils to throw at the ceiling?

[DeathByTheSword]

hell i am bored out of my mind but still it is a real plan

[Maniac]

Err... I don't think we should attack Morgan while we're at war with the Hive. Just a thought. Anyway, about military units. I usually do it the other way around than you propose: no armor on rovers, as they are pure attack units, and best armor on infantry, acting as all-purpose units. Thus 6-1-2s and 6-3-1s.

[DeathByTheSword]

do we have *-3-*? anyways....i use rover for defense in the openfield because they can retreat if need be.....so extra defense on then while i use most infantry as basebusters...but that can be debated over

[DeathByTheSword]

i dont think the hive cause us any problems for a long time....but i am starting to be annoyed by the new bases of morgan east of us next he will send CPs trough our territory so settle south of us

[Maniac]

i use rover for defense in the openfield because they can retreat if need be

That's an extra reason why they don't need armor.
The problem with not giving armor to infantry is they have only one movement and therefore need to stand one turn right besides the base before being able to attack. Which makes them very vulnerable.

[DeathByTheSword]

that is way the rover go with them
....and because they can retreat you can use them next turn again as an attack unit....a defending infantry units can because it is lost....that is my strategy here....i dont want to strain our resource to much by building many armored infantry that is way i did it...

[DeathByTheSword]

@ maniac and gave them armor mostly because of the 2 rover operating behind enemy lines....so that they can survive longer...

[Method]

if i was doing this, i'd send a few 6-1-2's (maybe with high morale) and some 1-3t+-1's (trance and ECM, both free. provided we have neural grafting of course) to defend the bases we take from recapture. that way we don't have to leave attack units behind or rush defenders in. i very rarely use attack infantry, too slow.

morgan is very poorly defended though, and should be an easy target

[DeathByTheSword]

you are right that we could send some garrison with it...but i dont like the idea of rovers attack bases...infantry gets the bonus we could use....we could also make a landing from sea with infantry that way it would take 2 turns....but this is a dicussion thread so discuss about it you want because i want the best plan possible before i start a poll about it

[DeathByTheSword]

i heard alot of other ideas to do this war....and i will look it to them but do you support the general idea of attack morgan...?

[Method]

he'll probably declare war because of SE anyways, so might as well prepare now

[Drogue]

No, he is an ally!!! How can we justify it, he has commited no atrocities, nothing against our ethos, and nothing to provoke us!! We should worry about the Hive first, before we go starting any other wars. Even from a militaristic position, wouldn't this all be much easier after a switch to knowledge and taking the Command Nexus?

And even in war I didn't think the DPO got contol of DEI probe foils?

As a plan it is quite good, presuming the transport is not taken out by hive patrol ships. But really, how can we justify it, with our Peacekeeper ethos. it's just plain evil!!!

Then let him declare. We can prepare for war, to defend ourselves mostly, but wait for him to strike first (then we don't loose reputation either). 'Let he without sin cast the first stone'.

Are we, or are we not, Pacifist by nature? If we are, this would be hypocracy. If we're not, God help us all...
