Well then, let's take a different tack: What does the thread think about (slowly) building the OSRCT first, before doing ASAT 3? If the current ASAT level is secure enough for the next few years, then maybe we should seek to take advantage of it for now and build something that we know will be a large advantage for the military. Worst case, the OSRCT can deploy to defend against an attack on the Greenland base, and the station itself is designed to rapidly launch its regiment so could be evacuated very quickly.When it comes to the Greenland base, and the ASAT system generally, right now a warlord could in theory send an all in death or glory ride at the Greenland base. It would be a death or glory operation, but is potentially successful. The orbital station is harder. Something like a laser strike, advanced penetration aid assisted missile barrages, Sprint Kessler Devices, or potentially xenotech based strikes are all possible, but not something that any of the warlords can manage at this time on top of the needs of the Greenland operation.
Someone like Kane, Marcion, Gideon, or similar could, theoretically pull it off. However, it is not a sure thing, and the system as a whole is much less vulnerable than it was in 2047. However it is still not invulnerable, and with sufficient effort, or the right tactics, it can be defeated. Even a second or third station would not entirely preempt this, however each does make the entire system a much larger pain to deal with from the perspective of even a fully prepared Brotherhood of NOD.
It should only take 3 to 4 turns; 5 if we don't roll well.
