Turns 2171- 2180

[Hercules]

If we build CF before Spartans I think all other factions will be relieved.

[Hercules]

I am interested but where do we build CF ?

In EM and then switch or KP KC?

[Kataphraktoi]

does it matter where it is?

[Hercules]

Ok go with it

[Mart]

end turn.

if luck helps we get CF in 2176.

This whole stuff with not alarming is if Spartans do not have infiltration on us, what is quite possible.

[Kataphraktoi]

k

everyone cross your fingers..lets hope this works

(couldnt resist quoting MoHaa)

[Mart]

We will know next turn. If we get MMI and no CF is in the F5 screen, then we are in business.

And time to switch a bit our aims. With CF we may infuriate Spartans. They might even consider hitting us and not Yang. They could think that the sooner they strike the better for them since we will have less time for building that enhanced units. I believe, that after we get CF we should start serious military build up. According to defensive-offensive scheme. We can discuss it in Security Nexus with more details. Otherwise what happend to Morganities with their headquarter base might happen to us too.

[Hercules]

If we build CF, everyone will know we have MMI.

What we do with it is another matter.

From an attack point of view

Yang or Lal?

Is it better to attack Yang and get those hive bases and creep nearer to Spartans or attack Lal.

Yang and Spartans are at truce atm, even though the Spartan needles attacked their bases, I presume.

[Hercules]

Remember we can't attack bases (does that apply to attacking AI bases?) with choppers, which is why attacks with aircraft/bombers are very useful, they can attack bases.

So roll on ye elite tanks/rovers to capture some bases after an aircraft assault clearing.

[Mart]

I talked with Gaian BinTravkin about attacking Hive before Spartans do it. Hive territory is very tempting - jungles. Lal would be though easier to defeat at the moment. However we have pact with Lal, and Yang may attack us any turn now.

It may be difficult to get into conflict with Hive, and we would drain our resources, however, I think in the long run, the faction that takes hive territory will have very big adavantage. We should not let Spartans to take all Yangs faction.

Any thoughts?

[Kataphraktoi]

ai has lots of units outside city in my experiance;chopper assault should still be good with needle support

[Hercules]

I am inclined to favour attacking Yang.

It shows we are cooperating to overrun Hive and yet we also gain some key central bases.

Here is some strength comparison, which I should also present to BinTravkin:

		Hive	Gaian	Angels
---------------------------------------
Scout	1-1-1	-	11	12
Rover	1-1-2	-	-	2
Synth	1-2-1	34	1	-
Plasma	1-3-1	10	-	1
pl.def	x-3-2	-	3	1
Laser	2-2-1	1	-	-
L.spe.	2-1-2	-	7	-

Total----------------------------------
Land		62	26	17
Artillery	5	1	-
Air		8	3	1

So in land we are 18:62 (no scouts)
Air 4:8 only (bombers and scouts)
sea - we have only transports
probes(regular) 7:2 (COPs not included)

[Kataphraktoi]

not very impressive :/

[ForesterSOF]

Build Military after CF to attack Yang.
