(Hey Rhys. Would you consider moving the Dawn near the generator like I was going to do with the Laugh? With good shields and weapons you could really tear up the ground units. Of course, if we lose the shield generator itself, you'd be in trouble against TIE's. It's a gamble, just thought I'd bring it up.)
I think putting the catpaults on the walls was settled long ago.
Yes, you can carry the extra weapons in addition; they were made possible by use of a Merit and hence you have the right to them.
They are coming from the west, and indeed, that would be sensible of them. Must be said, as of now you know very little about whaty you are facing. I'm not entirely certain I should even be giving you a time.
Four hours, btw.
(Ok, little time left. Is there an answer on the skiffs? It'd be really nice for a large part of our army to be mobile through the city. I seriously doubt the Imperials will attack from only one direction.
Since Kyle is sort of taking charge, he'd like to take a good look at our front lines and preparations so far. What does he see?)
Checking the arm'y's progress, Kyle talks to Eerin. "What do you think of our chances? Against just Stormtroopers, I'd lay odds against them making it very far into the city, if they even diid that good. It's the walkers and other unknown surprises that have me worried. Is there anything we haven't thought about that we should?"
I wouldn;t worry too much about individual mobility. And other than people preparing to defend the walls, you see little.
There's no point discussing or planning tactics until the situation becomes apparent, but there is tons you could be doing during this time that you really are not. Start with the basics of what you might do when an enemy army is approaching.
2 hours.
Once the enemy gets through the shield, Galahad would expect every to open fire on our enemies. Immediately.
Can we fire through the shield, even? Or is the range too extreme? If our disruptor rifles can reach such extreme ranges, I would have all of us assemble on the wall at the West side and hamper the approaching stormtroopers, firing on them at a range that is extreme even for the rifles up until they reach blaster rifle range, then the Osokans could open fire as the stormtroopers begin to...do whatever they're doing.
In the event that the shields are taken out, Galahad wants everyone off the wall, as the AT-ATs could sweep the top of the wall clean. Is there a stairway or such that the Osokans could line and fire down onto the stormtroopers as they enter the City?
If the AT-ATs blow down the gate, can they firing into the City through the gates? That would be bad...
(Well, we planted the mines, we're ready to blow the spaceport. We've distributed the weapons and gotten everyone with a gun on the wall. We were going to take the initiative and go out after the Imperials, but were advised against it. We wanted to prepare defences like AA at the generator and traps and such in the field, but were told 'not enough time' for both. We have lookouts all around the city in case an attack doesn't come directly from the West, and I wanted to make sure that the army could move to where secondary attacks might come, I've been told not to worry. There should be a group of Osokans and Rhys at the shield generator to protect it from surprises. We're in a fortress, with the heaviest stuff we can get hold of at the walls. There is an entire CITY of some of the meanest fighters in the galaxy waiting.
Are we missing something? I'd bet my life on it. Is it for lack of trying? Not in my opinion, but I could be wrong there too. We've tried to be ready for as much as we can anticipate. Like you posted earlier, we aren't micromanaging, we're planning to react. At least that's my perspective, I've not heard lots of other ideas lately.)
But you're fighting blind. That's why I can't give you a good sense behind any of your plans. Like I say, I'm not even sure why I am giving you the countdown.
And no-one said that you shouldn't go after the Imperials.
All I can say is that the Imperial players had been very worried about Rebel disruption to their advance. There hasn't been any. They're laughing.
I'm not your enemy; they are. I am merely advising now.
