Did a plan that did Technical Section, I feel it is very important when we are about to roll for all that manufacturing we captured from the Sallie's FOB. It says we will get to take a look at it this upcoming month, so making sure we can beat the DC's to finding out how to make metallic hydrogen and shit will be important. This will also form the teams that will analyze the data the Investigator is bringing over, so the sooner we do this, the sooner we benefit from it.
This also does OFAC preparations, we rolled great for the design itself, however we made it much more technically complicated. We need to keep on top of this so that we can adequately respond to their landings and strike at their orbital logistics.
Was torn between housing and seabed mining, but I feel people would prefer to do the former. But here is a plan that does it anyway.

[X] Plan Houses and Helicopters
I also think fuel , housing and mining are the smartest picks here. The army that's going to fight the third wave is being built right now, we just need to make sure that our dumpster fire of an economy can keep moving with no shortages or disruptions.
Also choppers, because the current army is going to keep getting slaughtered every time the alien tanks and VTOLs show up, and we can't keep losing experienced Elfs at this rate.

Corporate comms should still be compromised on account of sending the new codes over the compromised channel like absolute geniuses. But I think Captainwolf is referring to the fact that the military pulled in reinforcements from the moon without telling corporate their plans until it was too late for us to react. That I think is a decent indication that the military is suspicious of corporate's comms by now, I don't see why they would feel the need to present something as simple as bringing down a few divisions of already paid for infantry into a safe LZ as a fait accompli to their bosses.
Not like they were doing something crazy expensive and ambitious, this was a totally routine rotation of fresh troops that the c-suite absolutely would have just rubber stamped the redeployment of if they'd asked a week ago. The only people that would have fucked up the military's plans with a week of warning was us, not the c-suite, so I'm pretty sure the sleight of hand was meant for us rather than them.

Mmmmm OFACs, so expensive. I'm fine with Houses + Helicopters too but if I approval vote for all three then I might as well not vote at all, so I suppose I have a slight preference towards keeping OFACs cooking but transport helos + commieblocks are also important projects that I approve of as well so don't take this as a serious argument against the leading plan.

That would tend to fuck up the seals on the turret ring, yes. The overpressure wave from the nukes may have helped there too.
Interesting, especially since the turret traversing cannot possibly make it easier to keep water out of the tank and the enemy cannot plausibly fire their guns underwater.
Hm. Do you think the mercenaries have figured out that we've compromised the executives' communications? Because I'm starting to think the mercenaries have figured this out.
Wait, they believed... let me get this straight.
They believe that their own government has compromised their communications, that our FTL ship was somehow connected with this, that they needed to change their codes somehow, and then we intercepted those codes and are now still reading their messages?
What the fuck?
Awwh. Owls gave us medals!
"Settled uncivilized?" Ah, I see. People who are in the Iron Age probably.
Heh.
Wait, did they literally give a seven hour boring-ass speech?
Heheh. Illicit gray-port trading via social distancing.
And, uh, that's the millennia-old guy who remembers the Bronze Age, right? Wacky.
Bumping into problems with electronics supply again. Hope we can expand production?
Of course, this dropped last night, so my views may not be relevant, but...
Yeah, starting to wish we'd done this or hope we can do this and that it may have impact later. We're starting to bump up against the limits of our electronics production for applications like drone swarms, so if the ground war stretches out much longer or the enemy is able to maintain intense operations for a year or two we have a problem.
This is probably a good idea.
Again, I increasingly think that our efforts to make ballistic artillery work in this war are a bit like 19th century military commanders' efforts to make lance and saber charges with cavalry work. It's not strictly impossible, but it's very rarely a great idea, and the longer things go on, the worse an idea it becomes.
Not bad things, but it may not be worth the trouble.
I gather we don't really need the minerals.
Cool.
Not a bad thing.
This is effectively a must. We need to be able to hit the enemy in space, and the longer we delay this, the worse off we are.
This... seems pretty damned important. On the other hand, I think we could delay it a turn or two without much consquence, because we can do the work quickly and there's still some months left before the OFACs are ready.
Oof. Better do this.
This is nice but can probably be delayed a bit. Increasingly, our equipment is merely inferior, not hopeless, and the main problem is that we have no way to engage the enemy in space or decisively cut their line of supply.
They must have, I can't imagine another reason why they would conceal something as routine as bringing down fresh troops from the reinforcement depot to a safe LZ. That doesn't feel like some hotshot officer trying to present his incredibly risky plan as a fait accompli, it's boring administrative stuff. The only people who could have fucked with their plans if they'd called that in a week ahead of time instead of 20 minutes before landing was us, so it's gotta be deception aimed at us rather than the bosses.

Thinking about it, the mercenaries probably figured out we were reading the C-suite's mail at the latest while the Salamanders' Slammers came down from orbit.
Because we had sizeable interception forces in position to launch at them on the way down. Given that our surface-to-orbit weapons include frickin' submarines that cannot reposition more than, oh, a thousand kilometers a day tops, this strongly suggests that we knew they were coming.

Cannon Omake: Disciplinary Incident: 29th Guards Armored Corps, 17th Guards Armored Division, 341st Mechanized Brigade, 3rd Battalion, A Company, 2nd Platoon, Private Sean Cinneide
Chimeraguard
We do deserve to exist.
Disciplinary Incident: 29th Guards Armored Corps, 17th Guards Armored Division, 341st Mechanized Brigade, 3rd Battalion, A Company, 2nd Platoon, Private Sean Cinneide
During A Company's vanguard operations, Private Sean Cinneide utilized a personal device for recording his actions for uploading onto social media under the moniker Xx_sallyslayer_xX, despite repeated commands from Company 2IC and other squadmates to cease and desist. While the destruction of the satellite network rendered Private Cinneide unable to use live recording, instead requiring the records be uploaded using base infrastructure, he nevertheless displayed an unacceptable willingness to speak openly on topics of military operational importance on unsecured channels.
Private Cinneide continued live commentary during open combat, despite suggestions from superior officers and squadmates that continued recording could lead to "reassignment as an improvised sandbag" or "voluntary deployment as a forward spotter for enemy tank fire." During A Company's shock assault on the enemy trenchlines occupied by a disoriented platoon of Alien Enemy Category C Infantry/Militia, Private Cinneide performed adequately despite these activities aside from insistence that he would be searching for opportunities to "try for the legendary neck-snap if I can get it."
After organized resistance from the Alien Enemy had ceased, Private Cinneide began a dedicated search for surviving enemy combatants, encountering one such individual and attempting unsuccessfully to terminate it via flexion of the neck. The enemy combatant proceeded to grapple Private Cinneide, elevating him via a grip on the neck and applying hand-to-hand blows to his chest. Private Flannagáin, from the same squad as Private Cinneide, came across the encounter, and upon recognizing the poor angle for shooting the enemy combatant, proceeded to attempt engagement of the enemy combatant in melee combat to assist Private Cinneide. This proved unsuccessful, resulting in Private Flannagáin being embattled and sustaining injuries alongside Private Cinneide, with the enemy combatant alternating between utilizing its free hand to inflict blows and utilizing Private Cinneide as an improvised bludgeon while maintaining a grip on his neck.
Approximately 8 seconds into the start of the engagement and Private Cinneide's elevation, Private Hannigan attained a superior firing angle and terminated the enemy combatant via gunshot to the cranial area. At this point, the enemy combatant's heavy powered armor, suffering a mechanical malfunction post-battle analysis hypothesizes as damage to neural control systems, attempted to continue last assigned orders of maintaining grip on and elevation of Private Cinneide. Attempts by Private Cinneide to release himself by compromising enemy armor balance were unsuccessful, resulting in Private Cinneide's being forced into an upended positioning while retaining elevation by the enemy armor's new grip on his legs. During this process, the enemy powered armor, following some unknown protocol, began exiting the trench, potentially exposing Private Cinneide to view and theoretical risk of fire from the overwatching enemy tank section.
By this time, numerous other soldiers had arrived and attempted to disable the powered armor unit by utilizing combat knives to pry off armor plating and cut exposed internal wiring. This effort eventually proved successful at 54 seconds after Private Cinneide's elevation, causing the powered armor to release its grip, ending Private Cinneide's elevation via impact of cranial area with the ground. Overall, Private Flannagáin sustained minor injuries, while Private Cinneide sustained multiple injured ribs but no severe injuries.
After this incident, Private Cinneide resumed position inside the trenches alongside the rest of the company's infantry. After the danger-close deployment of nuclear weapons, Private Cinneide volunteered to among the infantry sent to investigate the inactive Alien Enemy tanks in the river, with recording equipment still-functioning. Private Cinneide subsequently observed the retreat of 7 of the nine Alien Enemy tanks down the riverbed before the end of A Company's operations.
Overall, Private Cinneide's actions represent a flagrant and unacceptable breach in discipline both in communications and activity that endangered both himself and his squadmates. The only mitigating circumstances is that his recordings, when properly modified, allow for significant propaganda value by displaying a company of 7 enemy tanks fleeing from a section of Seelie infantry. A more incidental benefit is confirmation that enemy militia's heavy powered armor, while inferior overall in most combat circumstances to that used by Class A and B Infantry, provides notable advantages in hand-to-hand combat.
After extended discussions with Company CO and 2IC, alongside Divisional disciplinary officers and a disciplinary infliction of 20 lashes across the back, Private Cinneide has volunteered to perform janitorial duties during non-operational hours for the remaining duration of the war.

A/N: So backstory on this, the Discord channel occasionally does this thing where we get to play as soldiers in a company of Seelie. It doesn't affect the war at large, but it is fun. These are the same battles that Adronio writes the AARs for. This was a rather humorous incident that happened during the infantry fight of the last battle.
