@Elder Haman - I noticed we have .2 Governor's Own for Freya, .2 for Rotbart, .2 for Navigators, .2 for Saint Lin ... where is the other .2? Syr?
Was supposed to be 0.2 for Headmaster Ricdully (since he was the other likely target for assassination).
@durin Since that's a missing unit can you just add that to the Unseen University forces?
0.2 Governors Own (assigned to bodyguard Headmaster Ricdully)
I'm just worried that we only have 3 cities with a psyker presence; and only 25 minor battle psykers at the unseen university. (Well, the headmaster is there, but still.)
And it only has PDF forces, none of our IG Regiments. Granted, our PDF is amazing, but I want our thousands of Psykers in training to be well protected.
Actually there is an IG Siege Infantry Brigade at the Unseen University which = 10 Regiments.
Also, I have psykers focused on the moons and space ships. I even explained why I distributed them that way. Exactly what do you think we should prioritize over the Moon Bases and the Well of Urd?
One think I feel the need to point out is that we do have a minor problem with Cocceio, with the Ship Graveyard. A few Orks might notice that there's a huge pile of scrap just waiting to be looted.
Crap. Not sure what to do about this.
Others here know Orks better than I. Can we challenge them? Try and draw them in to battle instead of spending their attention elsewhere?
There are a few Orbital Mechanics questions that need to be answered. What's the system's current layout? What are they likely to pass by if they take a strait rout to Avernus? What about Cumae?
durin posted a map, they are likely to hit Cumae first, then Cocceio, and then Avernus which is on the other side of the sun from their approach.
Edit: Hmm, I don't see Xavier listed in our deployments.
He's on Alfheim.
We only have 10 regiments of it, total. Airpower is always a big deal; Making sure we have at least one for every named city would be nice, as well as a few for backup and in case we need to split our forces again.
Have a military option to build more specialist, just not priority compared to other actions.
2: You have forgotten to assaign Troops to Casarrondo.
Ah crap. I was afraid I'd missed something, but not a whole city. Well, still time to fix that.
1: What are our Rough Raider doing in the Mountains? There are at a natural disadvantage there.
I evenly distributed them and then focused a bunch in Dis for central location for relocation depending on the enemy type. Was focusedmore on the probability of Siege Warfare than fighting outside the cities, that might need to change.
3: You have assaigned no aircraft to the other Hive citys.
I said why already.
4: Beirut and True Grit have only 20 Rough Raider stationed instead of 40 like the other citys in that region.
Because the other cities have higher priority targets - Hive, Forge City, Forge Complex.
Any way.
Changes that need to be made:
1: Add Cassarondo forces
2: Do we want to redistribute now that it's Orks?
What are the likely targets for the Orks?
I'm guessing the Unseen University is lower priority for them, so maybe don't need Headmaster Ridcully there?
There is a little more room on the Starfort, should we put more forces there?
I'm afraid the Orks might very well like the looks of the Well of Urd as a target. (Ooooh! BIG ship! Let's get it!)
Is the capital a more likely target? Can we make it the likely target by challenging them and trying to draw them into attacking Dis?
Are the Orks more likely to involve fighting in the wild rather than siege warfare around the cities? In that case we probably need to redistribute so that the regions have more of their specific type. Note that leaves the Everglades pretty bare.
I have to head to work, but if you guys can come up with some answers to those questions, then I think we can start developing a modification of the plans.
Also, what do we do if the Orks go to an unoccupied portion of Avernus?
Are there any strategically important locations or natural fortifications around Avernus that we ought to deploy pre-fabricated fortresses too and so garrisons to prevent occupation by the Orks?
I'm guessing that is beyond our powers, but thought I should raise it.
