I'm just concerned that we're losing the topside battle too quickly, and want to send some more of our fodder to hold the line. Meanwhile, Silver Sonic should be enough to shift the tides of the battle down below, considering that Alpha is roughly equal to Tails and Epsilon+Mooks are only just outmatched by the GUN Troopers due to Epsilon not having room to maneuver. Adding another Boss Robot to the Epsilon+Mooks vs Gun Troops battle should swing things in our favor, and Alpha has already shown that he can keep Tails locked down for however long this takes.

Reinforcing to slow it down would have been viable. Last turn. Which we did.

Now it's being overrun too quickly for more forces to contribute anything more than being the next set of targets for the overwhelming enemy forces' guns to target next. If you're suffering a losing battle with a large company, sending a small squad to reinforce them on their own wouldn't save the battle or delay further, it'd only get that squad wiped out, whereas it regrouping with a larger force sent from another front has more potential success.

It's likely the topside battle will cause some damage to the defenses out there but they shouldn't be able to hit anything vital before we can arrange to get them. And if we capture Tails they'll be unable to resume bombing out of fear of killing the fox.

Meaning if he gets away then with the topside damage they can resume using those missile launchers that we didn't deal with or have the capacity to, potentially wrecking the carrier more.

And Epsilon has not been perfectly stalemating the Agents, he's been taking damage. moderate damage meaning 'half health' in game terms and might be destroyed if not reinforced with yet more mooks.

Also we can't rely on Alpha stalemating Tails nor Metal Sonic alone turning the tide in the inside battle. It's entirely possible he will find a way to turn them against one another unless added distractions join.

So yes, I remain firm. Don't send more forces to die pointlessly, in fact if I felt the badniks on the outer carrier could do a fighting retreat I'd have them do that but I doubt they could and that leaving them there for now to die is the better option.

EDIT: To sum up, you don't send small scale reinforcements to join a losing battle when there's multiple fronts, you send a cohesive counterattack force once the other area is won.

And Silver Sonic doesn't have the Armor upgrades so we don't know if he can fight evenly with Tails, GUN soldiers and robots yes, but not Sonic's friends.
 
I'll not that Epsilons main problem is that his almost literally in the worst possible place to deploy him, Beta's redesign has a lot going for it but fighting inside and in close quarter with weapons that could damage the carriers interior itself is not one of em.

Alpha on the hand is almost in his ideal environment since his enemies have much room with which to dodge or kite himto death so he can pretty much go to town on anyone that he doesn't like.

Ah, so I'm guessing we were supposed to send Epsilon to the deck breach where he could be a mobile defense turret, we got Alpha sent to the right place, and then Silver Sonic would probably have done equally well in both areas? And then Epsilon with some generic Badniks would've held the line there, leaving all our elite stuff to get sent at Tails alongside Alpha and Silver Sonic. Ah well, live and learn, we still look like we could squeak out a win, it just won't be a perfect victory.

That's my take on it, anyways.

Silver Sonic... well I'm going to spoil how he'd do in either area it's to your players to decide what type of combat conditions you think would favor him with his fighting style and the upgrades given.
 
Well Silver Sonic is more speed base and doesn't have the Armor so he'll probably be better off helping with clearing the Deck with Badniks and Epsilon.
 
I think silver sonic effectively negates the enemy advance topside due to not being able to hit him. That being said idk how well deploying him below with narrow spaces and low durability will go...
 
Just a quick announcement, due to it being... well the Holidays I'm going to be spending a lot of time with family and friends so I won't be able to update this week.

Vs GUN Part 3
  • Threadmarks
    • You abandon the fight on the deck, allowing the force up above to be overwhelmed, leaving the GUN forces up above tothier own devices... which seems mostly composed of destroying the varius surface GUN's on the carrier.

    Bellow deck you send in as many of your remaining reserves as you can and they begin pushing Tales back, though sadly they do not arrive in time to save Epsilon from destruction and Silver Sonic takes some damage during the fighting as well, his speed being somewhat less of an asset due to how narrow the hallways are.

    Still Alpha continues to prove more than capible of holding his own as he manages to get ahold on Tales and smashes the fox against the wall, only relenting when concentrated rocket fire from physically purshes his back, though luckily the actual damage he takes thus far has been minimal. When combined with the reinforcements you conclude that Tale's force should be forced back and defeated soon enough... the chances of actually capturing or slaying the Fox are infuriatingly low but considering what he ususally does to your creators facilities this is a great improvement.

    Than you detect something landing on the deck, a mobian of some kind but they seem equiped with a variant of the jamming technology used by the rest of the GUN forces, except this one seems directed to specifically interfier with audio and visual survaliance... you can't get a good picture of them and their are no badnicks in the area to get better confirmation.

    Still their has been some good news if it is minor, the onboard manufacturing center has managed to produce another 2 squads of Egg Paw for use... they'll fall appart soon after the battle due to the rush job in making them but it's better than nothing.

    What do you do?
    [] Deploy your reserves (Specificy who goes to what front).
    [] Pull out forces (Forces removed from a front at risk of damage, but can be redeployed to the other front or sent to get repairs).
    [] Write in (Remember the character is not an idiot and already doing obviuse things like lowering blast doors and utilizing whateer automated systeams he can).

    Okay so. That's Rouge on the hull. No questions about it.

    Egg pawns ain't gonna cut it. Not against her.

    Silver Sonic meanwhile is not doing so well in enclosed spaces. Sadly Epsilon is dead but Alpha is holding well.

    So let's mix things up more. Aim for forcing them off our carrier.

    [x] Plan Interception
    -[x] Send Silver Sonic to intercept the stealth mobian, orders are to strike with intent to force them to retreat.
    -[x] Have the egg pawns join the fight against the GUN forces already inside, send them after those rocket launcher wielders.

    Just to mention it, but wouldn't it be wise to also include for the EGG Pawns to cover Silver Sonic? Also wouldn't he have to deal with all of the enemies outside by himself?

    See, I'd agree with that except that Silver is too fast for the egg pawns to keep up with, and the original egg pawns we sent topside basically disintegrated under the attentions of the still topside enemy, back when there was a horde of mooks to distract them. So if we sent these ones there, they'd disintegrate even quicker.

    And Silver isn't going to be focused on the enemy horde that's fucking up our topside guns, they'll be focused on their specialist trying to sneak in, trying to prevent them from doing so. Hopefully their speed will let them hit and run whenever the mobian I assume is Rouge tries to go in so she'll be stalemated.

    Meanwhile the egg pawns will all be needed to replace silver sonic's aid in the inside battle since the GUN forces inside were already just slightly stalemated when they were down there.

    The Egg Pawns are quick to reinforce Alphas forces, pooling their firepower force the GUN soldiers back and letting Alpha gain a solid advantage over Tails and forces the entire force to retreat in short order.

    In turn you send Silver Sonic after the enemy infiltrator. He thankfully manages to locate them before they are capible of doing any major harm, but whomever the enemy infiltraitor is they are extremly proficient in their capabilities, managing to disengage from combat in short order and virtually vanish from your sensors.... you don't detect anything of importance being stolen or damage so it seems as if whatever method they had employed was limited to escape instead allowing them free run of your facilities.... a small victory on this eve of devastation.

    Turning your attention to the final chaos emerald you discover that Sonic has indeed claimed it, managing to force both your Creator and Chaos to retreat. If you take immediate action you could probably deploy Alpha and your remaining forces to try and cut Sonic off before he can leave that area... potentally even giving the Docter and Chaos another shot at retreavel, but Alpha and the newly constructed Eggpawns are the only undamaged forces you have at your disposal, the risk of damage or destruction is high and you still do not trust Chaos.

    ... This choice could pay off very well or cause extreme damage to your forces.

    What do you do?
    [] Deploy your creator needs your assistance and you will supply it.
    [] Hold off you do not have enough force to assure victory and you do not trust Chaos.

    We just took a big beating. Maybe if we were more successful I'd be for it. But we weren't.

    At least we managed to fend off Tails and likely Rouge.
