Turn 2159

[Snowflake]

Mead the turn you posted seems to be the one that haven't been played with. Did I misunderstand you? I thought you have a partial turn that you would like us to comment on.

I will look at the turn right now. My biggest concern is still that you are planning to go solo on uni attack. We didn't have the immediate need for this. We would not be able to continue to wipe out the other bases in the next turn. In addition, Voltaire had appointed Rubin to be in charge of CMC and he was supposed to be the final decision maker regarding all military issues. If you feel strongly that we must attack Uni territory this turn I would like to hear more of your thought.

I am ready to pull the trigger.

I have launched two needlejets.

One is just outside Sunshine coast with one movement point left ready to Kill the Sunshine Trance Speeder and Probe.

The is other, launchd out of Rokossvygrad, is just northwest of the CyCon CP on that island ready to Kill it.

My needlejet that was next to the CP returned to New Moscow and Killed the Data Angle Infantry.

My chopper (which was 40% damaged) Killed the Data Angel Impact Rover and Foil. It is now Hardened Moral. I landed it in New Moscow.

I need help.

How do I declare Vendetta (when they won't pick up the phone)? On CyCon.

I can sneak attack, and will if I have to, but I don't want to if I can declar Vendetta before.

Looks like that we are at a point of no return then.

I suggest you clear whatever bases you can, but please do not take sunshine coast. We have agreed that the Drones should have that base.

Use the chopper to take longreach, and drop all the probes and garrisons into it. Let's hope all goes well.

Um... will this have an impact on the CPU noticing the unit and on Foreman Buster's plan?

Perhaps this unit needs to be disbanded to prevent the scenario that Foreman Buster fears regarding the disbanding of Uni bases...

EDIT: Nevermind... apparently, you're TAKING the base.

[Snowflake]

Actually that is a good idea. Disband this plane we can still hold.

[Snowflake]

We don't have any probe in postition to drop to longreach. We only have one or two drop garrisons too I think. I don't think we should start strike this turn.

Anyway, I have to go now. Best of luck!!!

[Arnelos]

Quick question... I know we discussed only opening up on the so-called "Eastern" front because we didn't want to mess up what Foreman Buster worried about on the so-called "Western Front" until Buster had a chance to attack....

So why did we open up our attack on both fronts? Are we not worried that this could have the impact that Foreman Buster worried about or is there something else that I'm failing to consider (if so bear with me)?

[Frankychan]

You know, I haven't the foggiest. I would rather us focus on the Uni, with some punitive expeditions against the Data Angels so that PEACE can take and hold those bases.

It's highly doubtful that the CyCon would lay waste to the Uni bases until things are completely one-sided. I don't think that they would do that even IF the Uni was a lost cause.

[Snowflake]

Sigh.

We don't have a war in the estern front. We only need to take a Roze base for the PEACE to stay and kill the CC colony pod.

The war we are talking about is at the western front, it is not for buster. We are doing it together. In the end of 2161, we will each get half of the uni bases. But I am not sure now. The war may become a little not according to the plan and it may take longer to finish. Hopefully I am wrong.

Yes, this is my worry. Attacking the colony pod, fighting the Data Angels, and trying to protect PEACE made sense this turn. I supported it. But I question whether we should have attacked the University until doing it with the Free Drones next turn.

But whatever, it's been a while since I played this game and I'm not entirely up to date on what is going on in here, so I'm sure there must still be some piece of this picture that I'm missing.

Eastern Front was repulsing the Data Angel Invasion near New Moscow, Killing the CyCon CP, and Emptying Conshelf57 for Peace to occupy.

All went well except our attack on Conshelf57 failed.

Comrade Mead, it seems you have issued military orders without the consent of the Central Military Committee. Our line of communication may be quirky--but if you have actually engaged any University units and thereby overridden the Central Military Committee's jurisdiction in major military matters I believe the Central Military Committee is redundant.

Hence, I shall resign as Chairman of the Central Military Committee and assume general citizen advisory status. However, there is a possibility that there's been a simple misunderstanding--and I need your confirmation on what has happened before I take any final action and elaborate on this decision.

Comrade Rubin I confirm that I engaged Uni forces.

Let's all talk about this before things get out of hand again.
