Gotcha. Would it be worth spending an action to try and organize and take stock of the forces we have at our disposal, since what we have right now is pretty much a giant mob?

Now that you are basically working together as a city you can assume such minor actions are being accounted for.

In that case, could we have a rough idea of kind of forces, equipment, etc we have at our disposal? Obviously we have a lot of angry people, the sect is armed with rifles, we have some machine guns, we have whatever that was seized from Vikrag Prison, the Pale Horse Standard supposedly has artillery, is there anything else?

You have the arsenal of the Heavenly Mount and anything else that the people of Nachivan have been armed with, and the gatlings and artillery that the Sword Altar left behind in its withdrawal. Melecha is also well armed.

You also have time - you really didn't have the opportunity to set up proper barricades anywhere but the Heavenly Mount and the area about HaKhofshim Mekdash. Now it will take some time for the standards to unload and mass - time you can use.
 
I assume seizing the Haviva and Yevan Golems is out of the question so we probably want to prioritize fortifying the Central Navel.

Other than that we want to link up with the forces on the other side of the river since that will bolster our numbers and give us a line of retreat in the worst case scenario, and securing the Sakarog will also help with that since we'd have control of the waterways. Usral also hasn't declared for either side but right now that's the only direction where we aren't surrounded by enemies, so if we're going to be getting any timely reinforcements, it can only be from the south.

There's no point in trying to be clever here. This is a pretty straightforward brute force slug fest. Either support the attack on the bridges to get more manpower or pile on our Fortifications.
 
[X] Fortify and hold the Central Navel [Kedesh & Melecha will be supporting this action].

Yeah, pretty much. Fortifying the Central Navel has to be our highest priority, since if we lose it the situation becomes a lot more untenable and it's almost certainly going to be the main direction of the Juror's push.

I think the Western Navel is more critical. Remember that the Patriarch is not in the Mount - top administrators are there so it would be bad if it fell, but losing the Sanhedron, which we're evacuating to the Western Navel, would be much worse.
Also, Melecha is already defending the Central Navel and unlike Ma'on they are well armed (they have canons!).

Well yeah, we also need to secure the Western Navel so we don't get flanked, but losing the Central Navel means we lose the chance to link up with Targon's forces and it's where the Jurors are concentrating their main forces. Considering the way this coup has gone so far it's likely the Jurors are going to rely on brute force rather than trying anything fancy.

Relatively speaking right now the most overweighted action is supporting the sailors' uprising. Securing control of the waterways would be useful and help with the push on the bridges, but it isn't going to win the siege for us.

With that in mind our top priorities should be fortifying the Central and Western Navel, securing Mushad Bridge, and securing the Hanaga Bridges in roughly that order. Supporting the sailors feeds into that insofar as it will make the push on the bridges more likely to succeed, but shouldn't be prioritized over the previous actions. Escorting the Sanhedron is important but also shouldn't need that many people. Supporting the Hendar uprising would mainly be useful for securing our eastern flank, getting more fighters and cutting off any potential reinforcements from Titarkulan.

We need the Sailors to vote to be overweighted because winning there gets us naval firepower, mobility, communication, and supply lines. This means we can afford to spend less manpower on the bridges and still have a reasonable chance of clearing them and linking up with reinforcements. And that means more manpower freed up on direct defenses.

I think we also need some more men on the Hanaga Bridges. Comparing between Mushad and Hanaga,
- we're getting a lot of help for Mushad (the Mass Jury, and probably the sects on the other side) but Sword-Altar can likely suppress an attack on the bridge with fire from Fort Karnak so it'll be difficult
- in the Hanaga Bridges though we're not likely to get any help. No faction from the Navel is coming there to help, and Tata Targon's forces will likely be too far away to help for a good time. We need more manpower there

Since there's already 5 votes for escorting the Sanhedron to the House of Creation, and because Bukak noted that Hendar is contested + that's our closest region to Tata's Trousiers:

[X] Support the Hendar Uprising.

So it gets to 5, I think Escort Sanhedron could make do with 4 votes.

Edit: I do think that maybe Hendar don't need much more votes rn. 6-7 total should be good? The rest to fortifying or the attacks.

[X] Charge Mushad Bridge [Pale Horse will be supporting this action].

Hoping that sending enough men to take the bridge will also allow us to storm Fort Karnak this turn. The sooner we take them out, the sooner we can turn around and reinforce the barricades, with the Iconoclasts and Confessors behind us.
 
The blood of the righteous and the wicked run in the street, a war for the very soul of Vaspukaran being fought between figures moving in the gunpowder smoke, brought down by sword and spear and the crack and whirr of bullets piercing the air. Bleeding from his leg and leaning against the wall of a barricade somewhere in a Nachivan full of chaos, Bryanaki Gidon recites a mantra to keep himself sane.

"My god, I really just wanted free silver."

[X] Charge Mushad Bridge [Pale Horse will be supporting this action].

I think we're fine on Mushad Bridge at them moment. The Hanaga bridges probably need more support to break through to Tata Targon since they won't have any enhancing support from the Pale Horse standard.

Though, of course, success claiming the bridges won't matter if the rebel Jurors just plow through the defenses as they stream out from Tzinhas Barracks.
