You need to hit the entire post. I only quoted one part, you did it consistently throughout.
That would be because the voters and you are missing a few important details that would come to light if an extended planning session occurred.
"Sink"
I was using another frame of reference, taking the general directions of each position. Sinope is in the north part of the map. I don't think I ever referred to Sinope being in the south. The strategic map I just posted wouldn't make it feasible.
Here your forces rounded the forest and attack the defence line in the rear, ie. from the north. Map for reference.
The Seaguard didn't attack the front of the defence line, which was south of where Rudolf was at the time.
Baumann was in the southeast corner of the map, I was using that as the frame of reference.
I feel like you're trying to get us to pick the mystery box...fine, I'll bite. i assume they didn't have us go into this operation blind considering that map, are we aware of any particularly significant roads or railways in the region? Also, how much artillery have we already managed to steal from the Feds when we struck the back line? Can we still contact Hall for updates on the front with our Radio?
If the Feds aren't stupid and the naval war of the First Europan War in the VC universe played out vaguely similar to our WW1, then the Feds know that having more than 2 inches of deck armor is a great idea, and all ammo should be in the citadel, except for AA and maybe smaller secondary ones. The fire might make it a write off if there is literally no one there to fight fires, but I doubt it.
I have no idea how the previous votes made any sense, then.
Further, from briefing in the post prior to that:
Federation base to the west, block Federation attack to the west at Nicopol, going east to do the encirclement were all consistent with Sinope being South.
Welp, thats my stuff up. I meant it to be the other way. Thats what happens when you write updates between 1-3am. Time to go fixing some lines.
Yes you are, I will show them if some of the other options are taken.
You have quite bit, more than restored the guns that got knocked out while Pydan used them (I need to check if I mentioned that) and yes you can use the radio.
Just note, each block represents a minimum of 10k, some have more. The Feds are on the defensive here, but they keep a sizeable numbers of troops resting in the rear as shown in the map.
I don't know, if the feds have had naval dominance essentially permanently, and with a lack if any sort of aerial threat to navies, I somewhat doubt they've developed along the same lines as OTL interwar navies. Maybe we could ask the naval infantry as to plausible specifications?
