I said it all the way back at the start of this adventure and I'll say it again. I think the best way to handle Region 2 is with guerilla warfare. Yes, we have the numbers and advantage to plan an actual assault now, but I still think that jumping from island to island with any organized force will be time consuming and provides a big target point for the enemy to hit us with some Authorian monstrosity. We should make use of our spies, Intelligence advantage, and our agents to maximum effect.
Our Cyber-warfare Specialists should focus on Region 1. We should prepare the bulk of our forces for probing/exploratory actions into Region 1. Better to keep our enemies on the defensive so they can't prepare more attacks, like what happened with Cadrow City. Carpenter will also be invaluable here. Our objectives are information gathering, to unbalance their defenses, and find a suitable place for a foothold.
Grenada should attack installations in Region 2. Semi-autonomously. We should know as little about what it is she plans to do as possible. Two or three of out Spec Ops units should outfit for sustained guerilla warfare. We then should make use of portals to make hard, fast hits at critical points in blitzkrieg -style. Those critical points can be calculated by our AI Allies. The goal would not to be to outright conquer Region 2 but to leave them with no real recourse but to surrender. Put strains on them between the military and the populace. Sow dissent. Our human spies could work wonders here. We need to change public perception in Region 2 in order to make continued production not only untenable but destabilizing. Our objectives here are precision strikes, minimal casualties (on both sides), and information control.
For Region 5... we should just maintain the border and maybe send 1 or 2 Spec Op squads to investigate stuff. If the Resistance in Region 5 needs help and asks for it, we should coordinate with them as much as possible. The goals here are basically maintaining the status quo unless we see an opportunity to affect meaningful advantages for minimal costs.
