Barracks: Fortress Uber plans

[Meshelic]

Here you will find updates on our situation with the Japanese invasion fleets, defensive plans, current reinforcement plans, maps, etc.

Notice that these are part of a plan ALREADY in effect, and not subject to change, other than a few small minor details that may be changed later.

MAP KEY

BLUE is Apolyton Navy movements

RED is the Worker Wall which will not be used shortly after these plans go in full effect (and will thus be available to other projects)

YELLOW is Apolyton Army movements, as well as the wall that has been formed in defense.

(yes I know the yellow color in the text isn't yellow, but it's the closest I could find that matches the plans, just bear with me)

I apologize for the amateur-ish look to these maps, I'm definetely not Aro or GhengisFarb, but hopefully you can get an idea of what I have going....

[Meshelic]

PRE-MOVEMENTS

Troop and naval movements:

[Meshelic]

Operation in full-swing

The most latest internal troop movements.

[Meshelic]

Notice the Roman Ironclad NW of Shiberport, it has not moved in a turn or so.

Also, those ships in the northwest corner of the map itself are Japanese (of course), and are expected to land somewhere in the general vicinity of Another Glorious City. They consist of 1 galleon, 1 Frigate per stack.

The goal in the current defensive plans is:

A) To thwart Japanese Uber Isle landing plans and hopefully persuade the fleet to go to our mainland so our home defense forces can destroy them.
or
B) To ensure that the Japanese either have no place to land on Uber Isle and that if they DO land that they can be surrounded quickly at any point on the island and destroyed.

The Ironclad to the SE will sink the Babylonian sissy trireme, and then proceed in a manner so that it will intercept the Japanese landing fleet ON THEIR WAY BACK. The Ironclad will also be bolstered by TWO MORE additional Ironclads from Willsbury and Port of Malignance....

[Arnelos]

I like the plan

Make sure any Japanese forces that land are sent back in body bags... that will be message enough to Tokugawa about what happens if you invade us. It should, hopefully, settle the issue with a certain degree of finality.

Excellent plan, Mr. SMC General Meshelic.
Hmmm... The japs have other three fleets around...

Btw, may I suggest you another thread like that, about the German front? We are in a run with the Greeks to take Heidelberg first. We have a chance, IMHO...

I'm working on that now, actually... ...although I think the German plans are going to take a little longer, since I need to gauge the available forces, and try and look for and gauge the best way to beat the Greeks to Heidelberg.

The Japanese Fleet are soon to be caught in our net, and will thus be trapped and surrounded. We may face a loss of an Ironclad or two (maybe, but I'm really hoping not, though...) due to Frigates still being formidable opponents to the Ironclads....

Once we have Battleships however, our victory on the seas are basically assured...

I thought about drawing up warplans for the Roman Front, but as we are making peace with them in 2-3 turns it would be a trifle unnecessary....

[Shiber]

It's a shame that we don't have any artillery on Uber Isle. Otherwise, we could have made some nice holes in that Japanese caravel's big sails.

[Aro]

Shiber has a point...

[Shiber]

I suppose that next time we would have a few battleships around to do the job, and airports on Uber Isle, in case we'd want to fly in some artillery.

[Aro]

About Heidelberg:
roadcage suggested abandon Leipzig and rebuild it one tile NE, but I think one tile N will allow a quick assault to Heidelberg (one turn earlier). See the image.

hi ,

at last something is being done , ......

why not disband some units for some key buildings , .....

and why not ship some artillery over there

have a nice day

[Shiber]

why not disband some units for some key buildings , .....

A cavalry, when disbanded, returns 20 shields. 20 shields cost 80 gold to rush. It figures that using money to rush whatever we need is better, since we're not short on money (we've got 1583 gold with an income of 822 per turn, to be exact).
There is no need to resort to disbanding units. That's just overreacting to a situation that we are in fact well-prepared for, judging from Meshelic's plans.

and why not ship some artillery over there

What difference does it make if they can't land on Uber Isle anyway, because we'll be blocking the shores with units? Plus, keep in mind that we're going to sign a peace treaty with Japan in four turns (according to my current plans).

hi ,

we should keep some artillery there just in case , ....

and it would be nice to have those ships shot at , they shall pilot back to base , therefore they shall be away from us for some time , with cargo , ....

still we could disband some old units there

have a nice day

[Meshelic]

I would only hope we don't sign a peace treaty before my ships can sink a few of those Galleons or Frigates....

The destruction of the Japanese Navy (at least the Forward Invasion Navy) is very high on my list of priorities....

but according to the FAM orders, I may have just enough time to sink a few ships before we sign peace.... we shall see.
