Attack Plans for the Hive!!

[Googlie]

Lt Colonel Maniac today unveiled his attack plan for capturing the Hive headquarters base.

Junta officers' eyes were seen to visibly glaze over .......

[Kassiopeia]

While I commend Major Googlie Lt. Colonel Maniac on your eagerness to draft up plans, sir, considering that we have no cartographic data, is not planning an offensive slightly premature?

[Googlie]

Oh - you mean winning in simulation isn't the same as winning in real life? The maps are different, you say??

We're Doomed

We need more data

[Zeiter]

Perhaps this plan just needs a jazzy codename, like...

OPERATION: DESERT CAMEL!!!!

Okay, they can't all be gems...

[Skanky Burns]

Operation: Hive Freedom!!!

[Zeiter]

That's excellent! And instead of the civilians getting shrapnel wounds, they can get "red freedom badges".

[Skanky Burns]

When our soldiers get hungry while taking over Hive bases, we can feed them "Freedom Fries"!

[KrysiasKrusader]

Hey!

That's the EXACT SAME PLAN I used in the "Forum Wars" series...

[Maniac]

Really? Were you planning to invade your Hivean pactmate Mongoose??

If only I had known that back then.

[Googlie]

Well, this thread was started partly in jest, but the Hive are rapidly getting out of reach.

Here's their 2148 Nexus data:

[Maniac]

Looks like the Hive will remain untouched until someone discovers D:AP.

[Googlie]

We're still a ways from D:AP (from Lal) but that shouldn't deter us from planning on how to deal with the Hive threat.

I suggest a modest first stage - rid our Homeland of the Hive by capturing those 2 bases on our territory. They are lightly defended (right now) and esp with HoA we can establish a chokepoint there that'll force Yang to take to the seas where we can handle him more easily

[Zeiter]

Ah yes, of course! We can use our new nifty 6-2-2 amphibious missle speeder for the job. We just need a crypteia to deter probe attacks on Hole of Aspiration, and we'll be set.
