2191-

Yes, it's possible! If we upgrade our last scout patrol to a drop unit (preferably AAA drop garrison as well), and our plasma garrison to an AAA drop garrison, we have sufficient troops to block their retreat! It will at least cost them 2-3 planes to cut a hole and even if successfull those are lost to them anyway. And there's no chance the F8 will go back.

I think this is better then direct attack them for with their higher morale the Spartan fighters will likely survive our fighter attacks.

So I propose to use our 2 fighters, the scout rover and 6 drop scouts/AAA garrisons in a line on the coast between 14.54-16.50 and two units on 18.52 and 19.51.

Give me some time to write out a drop plan, for we need to use our air units as well to counter the ZoC the Spartan planes perform.

Geo, Without infiltration we do not know, if they can have more F-8 in Defiance base, that would easily take out our F-6. I would upgrade them first. They are too expensive to loose them that fast.

Herc, activate the Drop probe on the Spartan coast, you'll see a transport foil and a escort cruiser there. They can be taken down with our empath chopper in Kodycryptor..

Also, How about trying to block the retreat-path of those Spartan bombers/fighters? Under the assumption they have committed there whole airfleet in the area they can't attack in the back. I'll try to come up with a plan to airdrop some dropscouts -and deploy the 3 fighters/bombers closest to the former Hercules Station coast. It would at least cost them that F8 fighter of them...

Lets go down fighting.

2191 is in. Spartans won 6 battles. They were bombing raids, I guess.
We have like:
2 B6
2 B4
2 F6
1 F8
all Spartan.

I think our F-6 must be upgraded to F-8 in order to compete. I would gather energy and upgrade them before fight.
Chaos infantry prototype costs 27(regular) 45 minerals - prototype. Maybe FH could do it using a crawler on nearby tile? The rest might be hurried.

I couldn't easily switch to FM last turn, I don't think.

2191- onwards

The future is before us and all that.
