Whilst it's a completely logical plan to cut off the EoTM forces from their weapon supplies, this would also lead to mounting casualties that we should avoid before sieging their fortress

So which luitenant will be the most likely successor of Pluvia will it be Gallo or Ulpio
We cant exactly ignore it seeing we are here to take them all out the more resources we denie/destroy the more that there capital will be weakend
So should not do 3 targets but 2 the forge and city

i really think we should go after Zenwhei as well because it seems to me that the Dark mechanicum has something hidden there and i think we should deny them the oppurtunity.

I would have thought they reached it by now when we took the city
They are taking there sweet time or we where just that quickly
-[] Zenwhei: The southern city, and a location that is far more out of the way than the other urban centers on the planet. It is a tertiary target, but a daring recon flight from one of the Navy's Valkyries has revealed that a force of Eyes of the Mutator and Dark Mechanicum are moving towards it.
–[] Write-in which forces you assign to this location:
-[] Dongying: The northern city on the planet, it is also the nearest city to the shifting fortress. As such, we have intel that locates the training grounds of the Watchers of Yerma, the Warband's mortal elite, there.
–[] Write-in which forces you assign to this location:
What about attacking those two targets we could avoide casulties from shot down valkyries and use our air force to attack the enemy directly.
While Dongying would be reinforced by the fortress as long as we send in a large enough force we should still manage fine and everything they send to help the city we wouldn't have to kill when we attack the more defensible fortress.
We don't know if they reached the city, we are still using intellgence gathered prior to our ground Invasion of yerma prime.

I'll be honest, I think taking out all 4 of these sites is feasible, after which everybody groups up and smashes the Shifting Fortress. By then, they'll have been cut off from most of their elite mortal soldiers, vehicles, Daemon Engines, and whatever the fuck is at Zenwhei. We will be taking attrition, but we'll be reducing the Shifting Fortress' defense and reinforcement options too. Leaving any one location in enemy hands raises the chances that they'll be able to relocate more resources to the fortress, making the siege, when it happens, far more difficult than it otherwise would be.
True but you also have to remember last time our Marines were Grass Green. We actually have much better stats now, and Notables with their own skills and traits that can help.

Do you know what will be funny?
Rest of Angels Crusaders's reaction, when Gerard De Lusignan ("all, but leader" of Angels Crusaders's faction that dislikes Mist Shrikes) will "switch" to pro-MS faction after his return from Yerma

As the rest of the Imperial presence start to fan out
He can't discern how effective he is,
The last thing he sees is another angel decapitating his killer, and his last thought is relief that the Skull-helm Angel will be alright.
Fuck I liked having a guy who specialized in guns.
At least we have Gallienus still even if he's in the shit for getting his company massacred (which is our fault out of universe)
As a side note
How dare you make me care about a random guardsmen just to kill him. (On a serious note good job with that)

-[X] Store them for further inspection and consecration
So here's my plan, focusing on another three target locations, bring out our consolidation of forces to overwhelm and defeat the EotM forces in these locations. I chose The Ninefold Forge because it is a manufacturing hub for the EotM and Dark Mechanicus that can continue to supply the enemy war effort, so it is a strategic target to destroy. Smilnay gets the honors of crushing them since they have demanded to take the Forge alone. Normally, I wouldn't consider it but seeing the amount of heavy assets Smilnay has, I think they'd be best suited for the inevitable tank battle that'll break out. Heavy Assets first since they want their tanks first.
Guiyang is the second target due to being the city next to the Forge and the noted amount of heavy assets in there, so I'm sending in the Angels Crusaders, Angels Revenant, half of the Sororitas, a healthy helping of our 10th Company vets, and half of Malleus forces. Sending in Scouting Elements once again since we can't advance on land to them, so our scouts and the Yamunans will be seeking to destroy AA positions and hopefully assassinate any EotM notables before they can be a problem.
And finally, Zenwhei. The fact that both EotM and Dark Mechanicus forces are converging on that city for an unknown reason has me concerned about a hidden facility or weapon, so the rest of our forces are dropping in on Zenwhei. The rest of the Angels Crusader terminators are going here, along with the 2nd company of the Angels Revenant, Blazing WArdens 4th, our 2nd, Severus, our land raider, Codicier, and Master of Sanctity, and more. I am anticipating a tough fight here but since we aren't at risk of being shot down before we land, I am choosing to do the Sweeping Advance instead of scouts. We've been risking our veterans an awful lot and our veterans are much more difficult to replace rather than regular marines, so we're doing an all out assault on this city, seeking to overwhelm it with our combined forces.
Finally, the captured air assets. Why keep them in reserve? Simple, I don't trust them. We're in a system dedicated to Tzeentch, so sure, they might look okay but I'm not trusting it. We can give them a more throughout check them and divide them up after the battles.
If everything goes well, we'll only have Dongying and the Fortress remaining, which will lead to a climatic final battle on Yerma Primus. For that, we'll need the best of the best at the Shifting Fortress, so here's hoping we roll well.

I don't really get why we're sending so many forces to Zenwhei I know they have some kind of goal there but I think we should at least send some devastators or something to the hellforge. I don't like having Smilnay take an entire battle by themselves. It makes it seem like we are trying to get them out of the way or something.

Are we really leaving the admech alone in the forge with no support seems we would be sending them to there death
They did with the orbital as well

No, they said that they would like if there was no other detachments for the Orbital Ring and the Forge, so I assigned more forces to the Ring with them. Now they are outright demanding to be the only ones at the Forge.
Considering the large amount of armor they possess, I'm inclined to let them try to take the Forge since we need to cater to the various opinions of our allies. Its the same reason why I'm leaving Dongying and the Fortress last, so Lusignan can have command for the assault on the Fortress so he doesn't throw a fit.

It is a bit suspect that they don't want any allied forces to fight along side them when attacking places of chaos industry. Makes me worried about them using it for their experiments. Hopefully I'm wrong and they just don't want people to see some of the weapons they have already 'improved" so they don't get accused of tech heresy.

I find it odd too but I don't want to anger allied forces, especially ones that actually like us. A part of me thinks its their pride and honor as servants of the Omminisiah demanding they face their heretek brothers but they could be using risky technology.
