Nanner,
Thanks for the map .. good work ..
Have to take exception with the tasking ...
I thought Dizzy was moving North to the central corridor line of Advance, Why do we want to put more forces farther away ?
Count the hexs - the center line (that is the center line of Mirak hexs to the East of Mirak Core Space) is the closest point (of our current advance) to the Mirak Homeworld and the path of least resistance.
P81 is a lot farther away and will take longer to reach the homeworld - he's providing a great flanking attack but the fact is it will take MUCH longer to get there from down south.
If you look at the map I posted earlier you'll see what I mean.
Don't want to force anyone into an area they don't want to work out of - but from a strategic standpoint the center is the best position to jump off from.
Look forward to your thoughts...

im just not sure where everyone is for sure.. like i said, just put on the map from what i understood.. if someone wants to correct/ show me a more exact map, thats great.. and i would agree.. that if we could go "around" a bunch of stuff and hit that weak side, it would be great. i just dont know where people are.. as always.. just a guidline based on what people tell me.

I thought the primary forces were striking from pneumonic's blocking line? This seems to be a weak point, and there was a blue base from what I remember to attack from, striking from 3 and 4 o'clock from the homeworld. While this happens, my paltry 1.5 captains would be cutting along the bottom... the Mirak could not react to a multifront attack, whereas a uniirectional attack would be easy to mass against, plus we'd be stepping on each other's toes with drafts and nonsense. The Mirak captains are few but very well organized; we can probably best exploit numbers with a multifront assault.
If we are all assaulting from 6 o'clock, let's be sure. In this case, I may be spending the first part of the battle smashing the Mirak planet just to the left of the base line, which the Mirak will dismiss as a pointless land grab, but once the forces sweep north, it will be a convenient forward supply point.

Mu,
I agree with you on all your points ...
My concern is having 2 pilots on the central corridor and at least one to the farth north to cover the rear (and vis-a-via cut the supply line to Gorn Space).
I can't do both by myself - If I don't cover the north there the whole eastern attack line is going to get cut-off and if I don't move up the Central Corridor then the closet point of attack is wasted AND they can still cut off the eastern attack line through this route.
Here's a repost of the map I put up earlier... hopefully this will make sense (or maybe I'm just out in left field ? )..

Looks better... I have no idea what works best for pneumonic and Dizzy, since I have no idea where they are. I'd really love to see them both come in from diff angles from the right, but this is probably not possible due to fleet dispositions. If one of those forces is going to be cutting up along the left of the supply zone as depicted, I'll probably still be grabbing that planet to stay out of their way and to give them a repair point. Unless of course there's another point along the left edge in Mirak hands which is quicker to drop...
BTW I think Bean will be able to play tomorrow AM, and I think zippy as well. I also traded in my CVA+ for this, since I really despise the idea of losing more fighters to the "let's sit around in space and wait to die" AI while 15 hexes from supply.

Great work Nannerslug. All I want is to be somewhere with another fed captain. Im so lonely all by myself fightin the Miraks. I have already banged all the pretty ensigns and they are all recovering in sickbay nothing else to do but twiddle my thumbs.
Im currently working that Mirak incursion into Fed space. See those 2 planets and bases all grouped together on our border? Im there hammering them. Someone join me. We capture those and drive straight North. Mu's Brigade will be on our West driving the 1st prong, Ill be the 2nd prong, and Rook and Bluebeard and whoever else in the North will be the 3rd prong. 3 prong attack to their homeworld, they cant block or slow all 3 of them down.
Also, Mu's prong could be useful later to drive to the Lyrans if we need to.

Nanner,
You've done an EXCELLENT job on that map - deserving of much kudos.
One problem - You've got the primary route going thru the north and the alternate route going thru the center - just need to reverse these.
Where you have "Rook Expeditinary" should be retitled "Dizzy's Attack Fleet" .... (or whatever Dizzy wishes to call his command)
That far northern route is only to protect the northern flank of our lines - and is more of a defensive action - the distance to the Mirak Homeworld is much farther through that route.
I propose the following disposition for the northeast-mirak fleet (aka "Dizzy's Fleet")..
Overall Commander: Dizzy
Captains Center Corridor: Dizzy & Rook
Captains Northern Corridor: Sirgod & Bluebeard
We could switch off as need be ...
Also if P81 needs more captains in the Southeast one of us could divert there to assist.
The central corridor from our current position is only 15 hexs (most which are low defense) to the Mirak Homeworld .... hopefully we can drive through and link up with P81 somewhere around 5 hexes to the southeast of the Mirak Homeworld - While the north corridor detail protects our rear from being cut-off.
At the same time Mu's Brigade should be 10-12 hexs to the southwest of the Mirak Homeworld by then and drawing off some of the Mirak Captains as well.
Also keep in mind that we have at least 1 gorn captain operating to the east of the central corridor - if that remains the case we have additional rear area protection.
Based on what I'm seeing out here now - the Mirak will continue to attack the northern corridor with at least 2 of their captains for some time - this I believe is to protect the line of supply to the gorn homeworld from their homeworld .... as long as we have someone up there taking hexs - they will continue to bang away up there.
That is until we get close to there homeworld - I'm sure at that point Brez will try to recall everyone he can get ... BUT .. it'll be to late, they appear to be in fact overcommitted to the Gorn campaign, to the Fed border and to the West (Lyrans). Once the northern force links up with P81 the Mirak are doomed - There returning forces will be caught in between P81's and Dizzy's to the north and Mu's to the Southwest.
It appears the Brez has spread his forces way to thin.
I apologize for the long post and I hope this makes sense .. IMHO this is the most logical assault strategy to achieve the quickest results.
Please feel free to comment/flame/alter...
Aloha,
ROOK
