Without doing any hard number crunching, I think things are roughly equal between our two sides (with the FO having an edge in actual meters and the GA in # of ships). Assuming you're not expecting any late writers to jump in, what do you say to a moratorium on reinforcements jumping in for at least a few rounds. Give us time to take some casualties and progress the battle a bit, I figure. We do have like three weeks to go, and while I don't imagine the thread will run that long I do like the idea of a very lengthy slow burning battle.

As it were the below is, I think, a complete list of all active fleeters. Next step: starfighter pilots!

I'm fine with no more reinforcements aside from those who have posted already.
We can't enforce that of course, but I think it's a fair rule.

 

[Xandyr Carrick]

If anyone wants to join, they can always take over some existing ships of course.

We've already got so many people that it'll be slow moving. (It's why multiple 1v1 or 2v2 battles are best )

After my last post I am tempted to agree.

You're mostly keeping your fleet away from mine for now aren't you? So I can focus on Carlyle and Piett

As do most:

Next invasion we'll look to break down fleet engagement into smaller groups to keep things going. Reading more than 2 enemy posts to figure out a response becomes tiresome quickly.

Well not for that reason.

But yes.

This is IMO the main advantage of hex invasions: factions can spread fleeting writers among the planets in the hex.

If Morrow is behind you and I'm ahead, how are you angling your bellies towards us both?

Posting now

Well, I was working on the assumption the two of you were coming at us from starboard. You can't get a direct hit on me from the front, cos I'm ramming Cathul's fleet.

 

[Xandyr Carrick]

Based on previous posts and how Cyrus and Goulda placed us it's looking something like this:

The enemy forces had formed a rough formation, with a block of GADF ships on the 'right' near the planet, the mixed Firemane force in the center, and more GADF forces on the 'left.' Un-encrypted comms traffic was high enough now that a small but steady stream of intel was flowing in to a tertiary display on Cyrus' console. No great tactical revelations, but he was able to read at a glance who the various fleet commanders were. The 'right' formation, designated Force Group Sierra One, was led by a Commodore Vilin, a total unknown to Cyrus. The center, Force Group Sierra Two, was confirmed to be under the charge of Admiral Kyrana Gould, as he had guessed earlier, and the 'left' Force Group Sierra Three, was under the command of the infamous Cathul Thuku, who had been at Omega.

Commodore Carlyle Rausgeber commanded the next largest force, currently facing off against Group S-1.

LOCATION: Kaeshana System, Opposite side of Kaeshana from Vilin

So the image above is roughly in line with how the vessels have been placed so far. I'm assuming then that Rausgeber your group has moved to its left to engage Cathul rather than S-1 (me) as per Cyrus' earlier post.

So essentially myself and Morrow are Rear/starboard rear/port respectively

 

[Cathul Thuku]

Don't forget Fiolette between Carlyle and Cyrus!

My interpretation could well be wrong, or even more likely i got my rights and lefts switched around.

But as a general reference it works pretty well.

There's other details of course, like how mine and Cathul's fleets are pretty close to approaching short range whereas Kyrana's is on the edge of long range. That would leave the First Order right flank open but Yvarro's fleet just arrived there.

That's the picture in my head, at any rate.

 

[Cathul Thuku]

[member="Cyrus Tregessar"] Hopefully you can post tomorrow now that [member="Kyrana Gould"] and anyone else in position to hit your ships has posted...

 

[Kyrana Gould]

[member="Cyrus Tregessar"]
See I thought that Yvarro came in behind us, but if she's between Cyrus and Carlyle I guess I'd better edit?

Right where are we at?

Seems to have gone quiet, are we waiting on Cyrus?

 

[Xandyr Carrick]

Also [member="Fiolette Yvarro"] if you could give a rough idea of where your fleet is relative to the quick crappy sketch above that'd be great

 

[Cyrus Tregessar]

We were.

Not entirely sure who's after me though.
