Art of Domination Thread 04

Remember "Operation Godzilla"? Smith's troops just.. threw down their weapons and walked towards us.

I asume by 'drop their weapon', you mean their fortified and heavily armed position, because rereading this part they certainly kept their rifles and they were shooting back even while advancing.

And yes Smith troops are pretty damn endoctrinated but the they still needed things like the red note to keep from deserting* show that they can desert. As we've now seen twice beween the afomentioned Cobalt operation and now Hayes divison. (Which in itself is something we can use for our counter propaganda)

*(remember before it's upgrade, the red note could only speak through region 4 made radios so it was made to stop Smith soldiers from deserting at first not against us, as almost had a first hand demonstration when we made Kuroda and a few others officiers desert to our side in Cobalt)

i'll be honnst tho, I think no matter how we handle the stution, some bloddshed will happen. And when it does, Iat the risk of sounding cold, I would rather see a repeat of operaton godzilla where the enemy abandon their lofty heavily fortified positions and the slaughter is unilateral rather than an assault were our troops risk some huge caualty as well as well.

The only real problem with a full on siege would be time (the more time we spend, the more North nightmre factory can produce new monster, his whole strategy hinges on it) but that's way less a factor if we destroy their food supply (then the siege will alst a week at much before they are forced between stravation, surrender or desesperate sortie), generator (which would close any watar purifiaction if they have any) and the phase shifter. And even less if we can incite mutiny

So... our options are currently: Assault the base fast and hard or Take out their supplies and siege.

Frankly, I think either path would be interesting so... I'm fine with either, even if I'm slightly more partial to my own idea.

The two idea are not necessarily mutually exclusive, in fact. Nothing stops from a first roundof sabotage, sieging for a few of days and then if it seems it won't work, assault the weakened fortress in,the dead of the night.

Edit: Maybe we can run our ideas by Lagaan? He's the strategic mastermind general, after all.

Don't forget Rheynar, he is the man who broke a seemingly untakable siege with weaponized Diareah if memory serves. He's very good at thinking outsie the box.. or breaking into the box would be the case here.

>Keymaster: Do you require an unobstructed view of the portals directly next to you? I'm thinking we should at least get you an armored casing of some form to reduce risk that someone could even throw a rock through the portals and kill you. While I'm aware that you can teleport most fire away....

Actualy they couldn't and it can't since It only let living things and what it consider their 'clothes' through. As we've seen when our spec ops tried to throw grenades through the portal and they jsut bounced, any projectile unles they somehow contained organic matter wouldn't go through the portal.
(Not that I would put past, North troop to devellop some biologicl guns and bullet eventually but in the meantime...)

That say I do agree with the idea and still say we should put it in a dummy APC, if not for protection t least to hide it from view of any potential spy that might ever manage to make it near.
In I restate that everry author forge tech should be disguised/hidden, like say in some of those decoy vehicels we can build at the omni factory or in dones shaped diguises before being deployed. The later the ennemy an confirm we have author tech on our side, the better.
