You're going to have to destroy and salvage the Providence Gundam (or, failing the salvage part, achieve peace with ZAFT) first before you can even consider that an option.

Lunar Orbit over Giganos territory
You are Saji Crossroad, and you are desperately fighting for your life in the 0 Gundam as you and Nena Trinity try to disable Louise's Ahead so you can capture her.
Okay, so the Red Haro is actually doing most of the combat maneuvers, but you're still in full control of aiming, shooting, and swinging the 0 Gundam's GN beam saber, so that has to count for something.
Louise lets out an incoherent scream over an open frequency before charging at you again.
"Celestial Being! Because of you...!" She yells.
You bring up the 0 Gundam's beam saber in a clumsy parry, only for Louise to kick your mobile suit in the cockpit immediately after you block her first strike. You struggle not to vomit as your Gundam is slammed through a piece of debris.
"Haro...get...us...out of this tailspin!" You say.
"Roger! Roger! Executing corrective maneuvers! Executing corrective maneuvers!" Red Haro chirps.
The 0 Gundam's thrusters flare, and you no longer see spots in your vision, which is a marked improvement from a few milliseconds ago.
"C'mon, girl, can't you see Saji's trying to help you? What's your problem?!" Nena yells to Louise.
In response, Louise screams incoherently again and charges at the Throne Drei, firing its beam rifle as fast as she can pull the trigger. Nena retaliates by firing her GN handguns, and manages to destroy Louise's beam rifle. In response, Louise draws a second beam saber and resumes her headlong charge at the Throne Drei. Nena seems to realize she's outmatched in close combat and moves to dodge, but still loses the Throne Drei's right arm as Louise's Ahead takes wild swipes at her.
I can't get a good shot without killing Louise! You realize to your dismay as you struggle to line up the sights.
View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKw9hgzncZw
A blur of green and blue streaks past, and it takes a second to realize that Louise's Ahead has lost its right arm. You turn and see the 00 Gundam turn around and charge at Louise for another pass, and this time, both of her Ahead's legs are severed at the knee. You see an opportunity and fire at Louise's Ahead, taking off its other arm, while Nena draws a beam saber in the Throne Drei's remaining arm and decapitates Louise's Ahead.
"Take her back to the Ptolemios, I'm going to help Tieria!" Setsuna says before jetting off.
Nena grabs what's left of Louise's Ahead with the Throne Drei's remaining arm from the side while you engulf it in what could only be described as a bear hug. Maneuvering back to the ship is a bit awkward, but the two of you manage to get back to the hangar with GN particles to spare.
You are Tieria Erde, and as you clash with machines that VEDA has identified as the Garazzo and the Empruss, you try to tune out the enemy pilot's inane attempts to get you to defect to their side.
The only problem is, they won't shut up.
"Why not join our cause? You're and Innovade just like us, Tieria!" Bring Stabity implores.
"Shut up! I'm a human being!" You retort as you fire the Seravee's GN beam cannons at the Garazzo.
A spattering of GN beam rounds forces Bring and Devine to back off, and you turn to see the 00 Gundam approaching fast to assist you. At that sight, the Garazzo and Empruss turn and flee.
"Consider yourselves lucky. You won't be able to pull one over on us like that again!" Devine Nova says.
"Looks like they figured out what we were up to." You comment.
"Is the hacking team under attack?" Setsuna asks.
"Nah, they made a clean getaway. Even if Giganos and the A-LAWS had managed to intercept them, I would've had them covered." Lockon says.
"That's good. Looks like the battle's over. Should we head back?" Setsuna says.
"Yes, let's." You say.
Aboard the Ptolemios II
You are Marie Parfacy, although Soma Peries is currently controlling your body as you, Nena Trinity, Feldt Grace, and Mileina Vashti give Louise Halevy a shower. You and Nena are holding Louise in place while Feldt and Mileina spray water on her.
You reflect on the utter mess that had greeted you all when you got back aboard the ship-Saji had opened up the cockpit of Louise's Ahead, eager to finally reunite with his girlfriend. Unfortunately, whatever brainwashing Ribbons had subjected her to has caused her to become erratically violent, and Louise had attempted to strangle Saji as soon as the cockpit hatch had opened. Nena had managed to pull Louise off of Saji, but it had taken her, you with Soma in control, and Allelujah to restrain her. Even then, Louise had proved too violent to force into a straitjacket, and so you had to settle for binding her hands behind her back.
Saji hasn't taken Louise's state well, as the last you saw of him, he was moping in the hangar after being helped up by Setsuna and Lockon. You sincerely hope things will get better for Saji and Louise, although no one has any idea how to break Louise's brainwashing at the moment.
After finishing bathing Louise, you and Nena put her in a change of clothes and bind her hands behind her back before locking her in a padded cell. For a few minutes, she alternates between screaming incoherently and sobbing uncontrollably before falling silent. You and Nena share a worried look before glancing inside to see that Louise has withdrawn to one of the furthest corners of the cell and has assumed a fetal position. Nena experimentally taps on the door, and Louise glances up at the observation window, but does nothing else. You both sigh in relief.
As Nena goes down to the medical bay, you run into Allelujah while going back to your room.
"How's Saji doing?" You ask.
"Still moping, although Setsuna's managed to...well, I wouldn't say cheer him up, but I think he's accepted the fact that things are probably going to get worse before they get better." Allelujah says.
"That's...a start." You say.
The two of you stand in hallway for a bit before Allelujah speaks up.
"Marie...I won't let anything like that happen to you, ever." Allelujah declares resolutley.
"I know." You smile.
You and Allelujah lean in and kiss.
You are Lockon Stratos, and you just happened to catch a glance of a romantic moment.
"My man!" You chuckle to yourself as you take a different path to let the happy couple have their moment.
Aboard the Clop Class Cruiser Budapest
You are Kaine Wakaba, and although you didn't manage to convince Meio Plato to defect, you're still satisfied with Dragonar 1 Custom's performance.
As you pull into the hangar you double take upon seeing one of Gon Jem's Shitennou Metal Armors just...standing there. You take a second look and realize that it's Lee Sue Min's machine. As you disembark, you see Colonel Kati Mannequin and decide to head over to her for answers.
"Colonel, what is the meaning of this?" You ask.
"Captain Min defected to us during the previous battle. She's offering intelligence and her combat ability to us." Colonel Mannequin explains.
You turn and see Min floating down toward the floor. She's not quite what you expected for a member of Gon Jem's Shitennou team, being an attractive young woman with tan skin, a black headband, and pink hair.
"Nice to finally meet you in the flesh, Mr. Wakaba. Don't worry, there's no hard feelings about what you did to my teammates." Min says amicably while holding out her hand for a handshake.
You hesitate before accepting.
Could this day get any weirder?
Mithril Island Headquarters, the Pacific Ocean
You are Melissa Mao, and the past few days have been utter controlled chaos as Mithril prepares for an assault from Amalgam on its island headquarters. You, Kurz, and Closeau have already prepped your Arm Slaves for combat, as have the rest of Uruz Squad. The Solar Vanguard has also sent some reinforcements, and preparations are being undertaken to launch the Tuatha de Danaan if holding the island proves to be unfeasible.
The biggest headache, however, has proven to be Sosuke's new machine, the ARX-8 Laevatein. Even the addition of Nami, a Whispered that Sosuke rescued on his harrowing journey back to HQ from Tokyo, to help Tessa, Kaname, and Mira Kudan with construction, it's still not going to be ready in time for when Amalgam's assault is projected to begin. At best, it's going to be able to sortie while combat is already underway, and that's assuming that all pre-combat checklists are skipped.
You sigh. At least the Solar Vanguard is sending backup, and Mira Ayana has floated the idea of the Samsara System also sending reinforcements.

Rescuing a brainwashed loved one is always a go. Domon can attest to that after all.
Besides, Bring and Devine are just a bunch of chumps who can be easily taken out later on anyway. I mean Bring got blasted in the face by Tieria's Seravee and Devine got split in half by Setsuna's 00 Raiser in Season 2 of 00 show.

Hm...I'll be honest, I'm iffy about who to send to support.
I'm tempted to say...Daimos and Combattler for SR support? And... Hm, Tauros? I mean, it's a pretty fun Poke-ohhh, wait, Taurus, Gundam Wing.
Yeah, I think we should do the Taurus and GN XIII's. Maybe back them up with the Jegans or Strike Daggers for numbers. I feel that's a good balance of power and numbers.
Leos are getting outclassed quickly.
Orb will need the Samsara more, I think.
...Also, quick question, but is Bring the Gundam equivalent of Soul Eater's Excalibur?
He made me loathe his existence in a single sentence.
...Oh, hey, Min. You just showed up, neat.

Thinking about it, our best bet would be Combattler and Voltes support for our supers.
We will probably start seeing a lot of Lambda drivers machines this turn and there is a chance that the electromagnetic brothers may be able to at least put a dent on those or at least give us an opening for the big guns of the bad guys, specially if we get the super electromagnetic tornado + ball combo.
Specially since both Daimos and Dancouga focus more on melee, which would be pretty useful for the ORB assault, but barely be able to scratch the higher will enemies with Lambda drivers, without counting that Daimos is still missing the fire blizzard attack.
Still cannot decide on mook units, but yeah Samsara should be probably more useful for the Orb turn, specially since Blue Cosmos is still a full militia in which I don't doubt Murata won't spare costs to bring orb down.

Aside from what was discussed, I'd prefer we not deploy Strike Daggers here, since I want to make sure Blue Cosmos thinks that only they can deploy Strike Daggers and that anyone piloting one of these is to be assumed to be one of theirs unless they do something that would prove they aren't on their side. This could potentially allow us to do some interesting things during the Battle of Orb, if it is workable.

To be fair Saji your using a old as shit prototype that lacks special gimmicks,has no power effeciency and isn't designed for actual conflict against peer MS while Louise is using a model explicitly designed to fight GN drive MS and has been turned into a living murderblender by ribbons.Most grunts would've died already.
The 0 Gundam is literally the RX-78-2 Gundam if it was outfitted with a GN Drive in a nutshell.

Merida Island
View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joO3jyU67TI
You are Kurz Weber, and you observe the horizon in anticipation of Amalgam's invasion. Multiple flashes of light get your attention, and you zoom in to see smoke contrails going up.
"Ah, hell, they're firing missiles at us!" You yell over the all freq.
Everyone not already in cover immediately scrambles to get under something solid as no less than 18 cruise missiles close in on the island. HQ's point defense cannons open up in an attempt to intercept them.
Missile defense roll-Roll 1d8
Roll 8
Result: 12 Missiles are shot down. Damage to facilities is minimized, no casualties
HQ's 8 point defense cannons fill the sky with flak rounds, and a second later, there are 12 explosions in the air, heralding the destruction of 12 missiles. The remaining 6 missiles slam into either the island's wilderness or facilities that had already been evacuated or written off.
"Everybody still alive?" Mao asks over the squad freq.
The other members of Uruz Squad sound off, yourself included, and to your surprise and relief, no one was killed in the barrage.
"Here they come!" An M9 pilot from a different squad yells.
You turn to see a number of transports pull up to the beach and disgorge Savages, Codarls, Venoms, and a new type of AS Intelligence identifies as 'Eligors'...along with 6 Behemoths wading up to the shore behind them.
"Ah hell, it was already a trial and a half to deal with the Behemoth in Tokyo, and that was with the Arbalest." You gripe.
"True, but we've got some heavy hitters of our own this time." Mao points out.
You turn back to see Combattler V and Voltes V combine and emerge from their hiding places.
"All forces, fire at will!" A Taurus pilot yells as the other reinforcements the Solar Vanguard sent emerge from hiding and fire on Amalgam's forces.
Amalgam vs Mithril
Opposed rolls-both sides roll 1d100 with modifiers for unit composition
Mithril Roll
Roll 1d100 + 7 (Uruz Squad) + 6 (M9s) + 2 (Trainer Savages) + 6 (Jegans) + 6 (Tauruses) + 7 (GN-XIIIs) + 8 (Combattler V) + 8 (Voltes V)
Roll 75
75 + 7 + 6 + 2 + 6 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 8 = 125
Amalgam Roll
Roll 1d100 + 4 (Savages) + 6 (Codarls) + 7 (Venoms) + 8 (Gates) + 8 (Eligors) + 10 (Behemoths)
Roll 97
82 + 4 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 8 + 10 = 125
Result: Initial stalemate-All Trainer Savages, 8 M9s, 4 Jegans, and 3 Tauruses are destroyed. Amalgam loses 28 Savages, 4 Codarls, 2 Venoms, 1 Eligor, and 3 Behemoths
The first wave of Savages that Amalgam deploys are immediately shot to pieces by combination of HQ's Trainer Savages and M9s. As the second wave deploys, the Trainer Savages have to reload, which gives an Amalgam Codarl the opportunity to rush the first defense line.
You wince as the Codarl massacres all of the Trainer Savages, emptying its gun into the first few before drawing a knife and hurling Lambda Driver empowered shockwaves at the rest while cutting those that get too close in half.
The enemy Codarl is joined by an identical compatriot, and as they start to move up, a red GN beam round lances down on one of them from above. The two Codarls fire in the air at a trio of GN-XIIIs as they try to move ahead, which proves to be a fatal distraction, as this gives a Taurus an opportunity to fire a beam cannon at the two of them. Although they are able to block the shot with their Lamda Drivers, the sheer amount of steam they're giving off indicates that their Lamda Drivers have overheated, allowing them to be destroyed by a beam sniper round from a Jegan and a bazooka shell from an M9.
"Look alive, the Behemoths are getting out of the water!" A Jegan pilot yells.
You turn to see a Behemoth grab an M9 and crush it in its hand while firing its head mounted autocannons at a Jegan, destroying it.
"Uruz squad, on me! We have to take down that Behemoth!" Mao says.
As the Behemoth moves forward, you zoom in on its head with your scope.
"Everyone, hold your fire until I take the shot! If we're lucky, the pilot won't notice until it's too late!" You say.
You line up a shot with one of the Behemoth's head mounted autocannons and fire. Your shot sails true, and not only blows out the autocannon, but the ammunition cooking off also destroys some of the Behemoth's cameras, rendering it half-blind.
"Now!" Mao yells, and Uruz Squad along with some Jegans open fire.
With the machine half-blind, the pilot is unable to use the Lamda Driver to mitigate the incoming damage, and as a result is rapidly torn to shreds. One down, five to go, and that's not counting the Venoms...
As Closaeu tears apart a Codarl in close quarters combat, a pair of titanic booms gets your attention, and you turn to see Combattler V and Voltes V each grappling with a Behemoth.
View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7KLz82HFU4
The Behemoth fighting Combattler V pushes it back before drawing a sword and swings it down at the Super Electromagnetic Super Robot. Combattler V catches the blade in its hands before breaking it in half and kicking the Behemoth in retaliation. The Behemoth deflects the force of the kick with its Lamda Driver.
"Enough of this! Granlight Wave, fire!" Hyoma yells.
Combattler V fires a pink beam of Super EM energy which collides with the Behemoth, paralyzing it. Combattler V then transforms into a rough tank form before riding the beam and ramming the Behemoth at full speed, reducing the enemy Super Robot to pieces.
"Take that!" Hyoma yells.
You turn your attention to Voltes V, which is currently shielding itself from a barrage from its Behemoth's autocannons.
"Graaah! Super Electomagnetic Strings!" Kenichi yells.
Voltes V draws a pair of massive, flexible cords before whipping them at the Behemoth repeatedly. The Behemoth can do nothing but assume a defensive posture as its Lambda Driver deflects the blows, but it's clear it's not going to be able to last forever. Kenichi seems to realize this, as he immediately draws Voltes V's Ten Ku Ken, and brings the sword down in a vicious overhead blow.
The Behemoth's Lambda Driver flares to life, only for the barrier to fizzle and die as soon as the sword makes contact, allowing Voltes V to cut the enemy Super Robot in half.
"We're not going to be able to keep this up forever, what's the status on the Laevatein?" A GN-XIII pilot asks.
You are Sosuke Sagara, and as you look up the newly completed ARX-8 Laevatein, you can't help but feel a sense of awe.
"It's ready Sosuke. We'll go through an abbreviated pre-launch checklist once you're in the cockpit." Tessa says, a look of utter exhaustion on her face.
As you move toward the cockpit, Chidori suddenly runs up and hugs you from behind.
"Hey, Sosuke...come back safely. Please." She says.
"I will." You respond.
Chidori gives you a tight squeeze before letting you go.
As you climb into the cockpit, a familiar voice greets you.
"Welcome back Sergeant." Al says.
"Good to have you back, Al." You say as you boot up the Laevatein.
"Likewise, Sergeant. This Arm Slave is a marked improvement over my previous chassis. Ms. Chidori implemented a particular system that I think you will enjoy, especially once we encounter the Belial again." Al says.
"Looking forward to that. What's the status of the current battle?" You ask.
"Currently, things are at a stalemate. Although we have managed to destroy half of the Behemoths Amalgam has deployed, their remaining Venoms, Codarls, and Eligors have been able to protect them. Although friendly forces have been able to keep Amalgam at bay, current projections indicate we will lose any advantages we have to attrition." Al explains.
"We'll have to end this quickly then. Think we can cause the enemy to retreat in 6 minutes?" You ask Al.
"Well within our projected capabilities. Pre-launch checklists complete, such as they are. Let us cause some damage, Sergeant." Al says.
"Confirmed. Sosuke Sagara, ARX-Laevatein, launching!" You announce.
View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpMjkV0Ha3I
You run out of the hangar where the Laevatein had been built and leap high into the air. In the distance, you see Combattler V and Voltes V grappling with two of the remaining Behemoths, while a number of M9s, Jegans, and Tauruses keep the last one at bay with a barrage of beam fire and bullets. The enemy Codarls, Venoms, and Eligors are using hit and fade tactics against the rest of the friendly forces.
"Targets closing distance. Contact in 28 seconds." Al warns you.
"Switch to interception mode!" You order before pulling out one of the Laevatein's monomolecular cutters.
A trio of Codarls rushes you as you land on the ground. You rush forward and slash at the closest Codarl before deploying another cutter from the Laevatein's left knee and stabbing it through the chest, the enemy's Lamda Driver fizzling out in its attempt to block your attacks. The other two Codarls immediately move to flanking positions and open fire. You leap and dodge while drawing your 'Boxer' smoothbore cannon and fire a single, Lambda Driver empowered shot at the Codarl on your right. The shot overpowers the Codarl's Lambda Driver and causes the upper right portion of its torso to simply...disappear on impact.
As that Codarl goes down in flames, the last Codarl rushes at you with a monomolecular cutter. You respond by ducking under its first swipe before firing your 'Boxer' cannon at it a few times, then slashing at it with a monomolecular cutter. The enemy Codarl explodes.
You turn your attention to the Behemoths.
"Al, get the Demolition Gun ready." You order.
"Roger. Compensating for potential errors." He says.
The 165mm gun unfolds, the Gun Howitzer attachment snapping onto the front.
You line up a shot with the first Behemoth, the one not being engaged by either friendly Super Robot.
"Error correction complete." Al says.
"Firing!" You say.
You fire the Demolition Gun, the Laevatein's cooling filaments deploying in response to your Lambda Driver activating. The 165mm round sails through the air before slamming into the enemy Behemoth and detonating with a force far in excess of what ammunition of its size and type should be capable of. When the smoke clears, the Behemoth has a giant hole in its torso, and it collapses a few seconds later.
"Excellent shot, Sergeant." Al comments.
"Don't celebrate yet, we still have to deal with the other two." You say.
You target the other two Behemoths and fire the Demolition Gun at them, opting to aim for the Lambda Drivers in their waists. Both of them crumple into pieces shortly after.
"Warning, incoming AS. Contact in 18 seconds." Al warns you.
"Hey, hey, Mister Sagara! I see you have a sweet new ride! Mind if we steal it from you?" Oh wonderful, it's Gates.
"Not interested!" You retort as you dodge a swipe from Gates' Venom.
"Oh, don't be like that! We'll be sure to compensate you by giving you and your friends a quick and painless death!" Gates taunts you as he breaks out a gatling cannon and sprays bullets at you while singing Ave Maria. You dodge the barrage of gunfire and holster the Demolition Gun.
"Al, I'm going all out!" You announce.
"Roger. Increasing Lambda Driver output." Al says.
"Eat this!" You yell.
You fire the 'Boxer' cannon at Gates numerous times, emptying the magazine before rushing forward and hacking at it with a monomolecular cutter. As Gates' Venom stumbles about, you unfurl the Demolition Gun.
"Not cool, not cool!" Gates says in panic.
You fire a shot at the Venom before detaching the Gun Howitzer attachment and jamming the Demolition Gun into the Venom's chest.
"GRAAAAH!" You yell as Lambda Driver energy surges through the Demolition Gun.
You fire, and all of your monitors briefly go white. When they clear up, the only thing left of Gates' Venom is a scorch mark on the ground and some scattered debris.
"The enemy is retreating, Sergeant. Total time to destroy designated targets, discounting Mr. Gates: five minutes and fifty two seconds." Al says.
"Damn Sosuke, you got a nice upgrade!" Hyoma compliments you.
You lean back in your seat and sigh in relief.

Merida Island
View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joO3jyU67TI
You are Kurz Weber, and you observe the horizon in anticipation of Amalgam's invasion. Multiple flashes of light get your attention, and you zoom in to see smoke contrails going up.
"Ah, hell, they're firing missiles at us!" You yell over the all freq.
Everyone not already in cover immediately scrambles to get under something solid as no less than 18 cruise missiles close in on the island. HQ's point defense cannons open up in an attempt to intercept them.
Missile defense roll-Roll 1d8
Roll 8
Result: 12 Missiles are shot down. Damage to facilities is minimized, no casualties
HQ's 8 point defense cannons fill the sky with flak rounds, and a second later, there are 12 explosions in the air, heralding the destruction of 12 missiles. The remaining 6 missiles slam into either the island's wilderness or facilities that had already been evacuated or written off.
"Everybody still alive?" Mao asks over the squad freq.
The other members of Uruz Squad sound off, yourself included, and to your surprise and relief, no one was killed in the barrage.
"Here they come!" An M9 pilot from a different squad yells.
You turn to see a number of transports pull up to the beach and disgorge Savages, Codarls, Venoms, and a new type of AS Intelligence identifies as 'Eligors'...along with 6 Behemoths wading up to the shore behind them.
"Ah hell, it was already a trial and a half to deal with the Behemoth in Tokyo, and that was with the Arbalest." You gripe.
"True, but we've got some heavy hitters of our own this time." Mao points out.
You turn back to see Combattler V and Voltes V combine and emerge from their hiding places.
"All forces, fire at will!" A Taurus pilot yells as the other reinforcements the Solar Vanguard sent emerge from hiding and fire on Amalgam's forces.
Amalgam vs Mithril
Opposed rolls-both sides roll 1d100 with modifiers for unit composition
Mithril Roll
Roll 1d100 + 7 (Uruz Squad) + 6 (M9s) + 2 (Trainer Savages) + 6 (Jegans) + 6 (Tauruses) + 7 (GN-XIIIs) + 8 (Combattler V) + 8 (Voltes V)
Roll 75
75 + 7 + 6 + 2 + 6 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 8 = 125
Amalgam Roll
Roll 1d100 + 4 (Savages) + 6 (Codarls) + 7 (Venoms) + 8 (Gates) + 8 (Eligors) + 10 (Behemoths)

...Oh, lovely, Moonwill's going to shit on us alongside the Jeeg villains, aren't they? Ughh... That's going to suck.
Hm...
HMMMMM....
Well, in the tradition of Super Robot Wars, we need a Gundam squad and Mazinger.
Beyond that...Dancouga or Daimos, whichever one fits better. Possibly both?
Nadesico, I think, should also come along. Their gravity barriers and their big-ass cannon could be quite useful!
As for reinforcements...I'm thinking...
...I really want the NUNS, the VFs have always been a pretty good unit, but that 1 extra point drives me up the wall.
Can't combine it cleanly with basically anything but the lowest cost, and as funny as loading Orb up with enough mooks to look like a Zerg hive is, i'm not the biggest fan of it's very...uh, low level units, it's basically nothing but the basics of different series. OZ is similar, although it has a mix of the higher Wing generics as well.
Admittedly, it'd be funny as shit to chuck literally thousands of mooks at Blue Cosmos, drowning out the sun with sheer bulk, but i don't think it'd be the most effective.
Hm...
HMMMMM....
Well, in the tradition of Super Robot Wars, we need a Gundam squad and Mazinger.
Beyond that...Dancouga or Daimos, whichever one fits better. Possibly both?
Nadesico, I think, should also come along. Their gravity barriers and their big-ass cannon could be quite useful!
As for reinforcements...I'm thinking...
...I really want the NUNS, the VFs have always been a pretty good unit, but that 1 extra point drives me up the wall.

NUNS for the delicious air superiority, 3 HRLs and 2 OZ for bulk. With the Aries as a screening force the various VFs should kick the bejeesus out of that fleet. Everything else provides what ORB really lacks, which is numbers to man the beaches and defensive fortifications.

Hm...ok, mathing a few possibilities for reinforcements
NOTE: We're also getting the Dai-Guard and 60 Scopedogs (not sure if we're getting a Red Shoulder or not). They aren't considered in these plans.
NOTE 2: To my idiot self: IRC and NUNS are exclusive to one another, IRC can only afford two of Oz, or 1 of EFF or AEU.
