We can take it.

Excellent.

Time to get ready, then.

IT'S THE SAKU

SIEG ZEON!

>>7953263
Feel his hair for luck!

Nah, I'm psyched for what is coming though.

Can we ask for a lock of his hair for good luck?

Shake his hand. "I'll see you when I get back."

Go to our team, Deliver speech, Tell them to all come back alive.

How long do we have till deployment?

>>7953321
No.

We can ask him to tell everyone what the secret of his hair-care regimen is if we win, though.

As you move to leave, Garma takes you aside.

"Remember David, don't feel the need to throw your life away with this assault. We are staging this early attack because even if it fails, we have the time to stage another at a later date. Also, if I can be honest, you would have to be supremely lucky, and the feds exceptionally stupid to be able to take and hold all of Jaburo. If the time comes and you feel that the mission should be turned into a hit and run instead of an invasion, you have authority to make that call. You and Captain Fontaine also have authority to call for an Operations wide retreat if the time comes. Don't get yourself killed my friend. I have scant few of those as it is."

>>7953263
Did MS pilots have anything they did for good luck before a mission? I get the feeling we'll need it.

>>7953338

Such secrets were not meant for mortal men

>>7953344
Nod, and shake his hand / salute. "I'm honored to be considered your friend, sir. I will not throw my life away needlessly, and I respectfully ask you to follow the same example. Don't put yourself at risk if you can't help it. You are infinitely more important than myself."

>>7953263

Alright, let's get down to it.

Agg 1- Elaine
Agg 2- Redshirt

I second Kemal's loadout.

David - MSM-04N Agguguy with 1 Z'Gok beam arm
Zol - MSM-08 Zogok with additional heat hawks.
Jolyne- MSM-04G Juagg

Calvin - Dodai recon Zaku, unless we can modify an Acguy, Gogg, or Z'gok to have a sensor backpack. Powerful sonar might be of some use here.
Hovis - Rhino or he stays home. Unless we can train him on a Zock fast enough.

>>7953344
Time for Blitzkrieg. Hit hard and fast and be gone before the main Fed force returns. If we can cause enough damage we could cripple Project V and give Zeon the time it needs to establish itself firmly on Earth.

>>7953344

Tell him that we never planned to die to begin with, But that we are very happy to have him as friend.

>>7953338
My God...we won't lose a man. OUR DETEMINATION SHALL EVEN CRUSH THE TYPICAL CLICHES OF OUR GENRE!

>>7953344
Good to see that Garma has a realistic appraisal of the situation.

On that note, we should be sure to have our fall-back zones planned out. If we don't need them, that's great, but if we do make this a butcher-and-bolt, then having our extraction routes set up increases our chances of getting away safely.

>>7953380

>redshirt

Dont jinx it.

Also, MAKE SPECIAL NOTE:

We leave behind NO FUNCTIONAL MOBILE SUITS.

Repeat, if you have to ditch your suit. DESTROY ITS SOFTWARE and any and all available hardware.

Make this known to all MS pilots.

>>7953376
This.

>>7953344
Will be begin voting soon on which load out our team will be going in with? Or have you been using some kind of techo magery to keep track?

Also, we'll need an inspiring speech before the attack.

>>7953344
I'm so touched...
Ruffle his hair a bit, saying it's not good to make a grown man feel so soft. Tell Garma that we will certainly come back, and continue to serve him as his most faithful of soldiers and friends.

>>7953337

12 days have passed. You have 8 days to get ready. Also, you HAVE to be over Jaburo by 3pm on that day, so that you can find the Hangar bay, invade it and take control of it's doors. This will either be done by flying over fast enough and dropping a combined Infantry/MS unit by air, Marine MS entering the hanger via infilitration along the waterways, or through a tunnel made by the EMS-05 Agg.

THAT'S the plan. The hangar's position will be random, and whilst every attempt is being made to ensure that it will be opening within your operational radius, you have no way of knowing which part of Jaburo this will be.

Your advantages are that Jaburo AA has not been rated as heavy enough to take down Gaw assault planes quickly without the aid of it's Air Contingent, which will be drawn out by Operation Terminus on Cuba.

>>7953407
If you have to ditch your suit, set the reactor to detonate.

Remember, exploding MS reactors aren't covered by the Antarctic Treaty.

>>7953344
We make our own luck.

>>7953386

Try to leave fortifications intact until we know we need to retreat though.

If we CAN hold Jaburo it'll make it a lot more difficult if we've just obliterated all the place's defenses.

If I recall, Garma is launching this attack early because of what we told him. About how the Feds would soon overtake us and that we needed to strike hard and fast as soon as we could to keep from blowing our load on a last ditch effort.

>>7953426
Seconded.

So what are we doin'? I vote for the tunnel route, myself. But if people want to try the perfect airdrop, that's fine.

Oh, if we do try that, make sure to have the Outer Heaven pop whatever ship is launching. After we're safely in, of course.

>>7953467
Shit, I also forgot the Dummies. What's up with those?

>>7953423
Tunneling is where we should be. Entirely new approach to the Jaburo invasion that the Feds can't plan for. Once in we open the doors and let our ground pounders in.

If we find large bodies of water while attacking in Jaburo we should mark it down for a future invasion with the aquatic MS.

>>7953467

I would prefer the airdrop to tunnel action myself. If we have the advantage over their AA then I say we take it.

You mount up in the Outer Heaven, and together with 8 Gaws carrying the 131st, 123rd and the Mech Infantry Companies and another pair of Fat Uncles carrying support equipment and the rest of the Nachtmaren's Mobile Suits you make your way to Costa Rica. Escorted by the two Dopp Squadrons you also dragooned into Operation Hunter.

For once you arrive without incident. You can't decide if this is a good omen or a bad omen.

It's night by the time you dismount. The command teams begin setting up a basic camp, where you'll all be staying for the duration.

Well, not YOU, you've all got your quarters aboard the Outer Heaven. Being Hotshot Aces has it's privaledges after all.

The Mad Angler Unit is scheduled to arrive tommorow.

ANYTHING YOU WANT TO DO TONIGHT, OR WILL YOU TURN IN?

>>7953450
In all likelyhood we will not be holding Jaburo and rubble is just fine for us to use as cover. Every building we destroy hurts the Feds.

>>7953508

lets have a talk with our squad, see if any of them are anxious

>>7953508

Talk to Elaine. Give her a pep talk about drilling in. Make sure she knows we have absolute faith in her, and that she should too.

Also DUMMIES APOLOGISED, DID WE BRING THEM?

>>7953508
Go play some cards or something with the team, We need to spend some time with them that isn´t ordering them around.

>>7953508
Talk with the squad, emphasis on them not dying stupidly. Then rest - its all we can do now.

Get to know the redshirt drillman

Let's up that talk to the entire assault group.

Hand out a drink to everyone. Give them a toast. A lot of them aren't coming back from this.

>>7953525

Good idea.

Maybe get them all together for a pre-battle drink, strengthen up those bonds of friendship so they all look out for each other on the field.

>>7953473
>Shit, I also forgot the Dummies. What's up with those?

Unfortunately you don't have the time to construct those. It's also beyond the current plastics technology to do them with any sense of realism and be able to store them on the MS.
It's another idea that Ookawara has on his crazy ideas list though.

>>7953491
>I would prefer the airdrop to tunnel action myself. If we have the advantage over their AA then I say we take it.

The risk with the Airdrop is getting there in time, if the Hanger is out of range then you could just bounce of the fake jungle covering.

Whereas with the Agg you can bypass the heavy Hanger seals and dig your way in through the side before the Ship Hanger block can transfer itself.
The downside being that then you;d have to open the doors, or all MS would have to go through that small tunnel (or pair of tunnels if you're still using that second Agg plan.) until you found the hangar door controls and opened them again.

>>7953613
Drilling is the way to go.

As is having a final relaxing, SINGLE, drink with our team, talking everybody up, reminding everyone not to die pointlessly and encouraging Elaine.

>>7953613
Digging is more direct and daring. Instead of putzing around in the jungle only to have the Feds return on us before we even find the way in we are right in their face. BLITZKRIEG!

>>7953613

This brings up a question.

Personal defense weapons. Make sure everyone has one inside their mobile suit. Not just a pistol, at the very LEAST a pistol, and an SMG chambered in the same rounds with extrea magazines for each.

You never know... <_<

>>7953642

Agreed. It seems drilling will make for the least problematic. And one heartwarming drink will reinforce everyone's idea of what's expected of them tomorrow.

No pointless heroics. Clean, quick, surgical.

Last of all let's make sure we all know our exits.

>>7953661
Uncomfortably seconded.

>>7953613
Also, Noisemakers, did we bring them?

>>7953577
Good idea, Buy everyone a drink.

>>7953613
OURS IS THE DRILL THAT SHALL PIERCE THE BEDROCK!

>>7953693
Yes, we should like to disguise which way we are drilling in from.

>>7953613

Make sre that Captain Whatsisname with the Gouf squad is deployed close to our planned entry point so that they can lead a push into the base interior with their CC-specced' MS.

Also, decoy noisemakers. Did we do anything about hat?

>Drilling is the way to go.

Doing both is the way to go!

Nachtmaren drills.

131 company jumps. Their commander IS an expert on air assaults after all.

>>7953725
>>7953705

Excellent point.

I'd hate to pop up inside a circle of guns.

A round of drinks and some karaoke for the team before we turn in for the night.

>>7953661
Plus a few regular sized grenades.

>>7953740


Are there any other objectives on the field worth securing?

Could we drill up into the hanger while drop troops infiltrate their comms/defence battery suites?

>>7953781
We want to eliminate their command structure, destroy power facilities, and production facilities.

>>7953781
If we had dummies, I'd say dropping a shitton of those over the entrance. As it is, I'm not opposed to putting a fair chunk of our Infantry into dropping into the hangar while we drill. Back this up with one of the MS companies perhaps.

For noisemakers, we just keep pinging the entire complex with active sonar from multiple points.

>>7953799
Don´t forget Launch Capabillities and Voila, No more Feddie reinforcements to space.

>>7953799

And that's why we need multiple entry points.

Jaburo is XBOXHUGE. We need to spread out. cover space. thus maximise our chances to locate and eliminate key installations within the base.

>>7953819
We smash the hangar block into burning rubble before we withdraw. That should accomplish that goal well enough.

>>7953799

I'm trying to consider if it'd be worthwhile to split our forces for a two pronged assault.

I'm reluctant to do it because it means each team will be that much less protected but it seems that both an air drop and drilling have their own particular advantages worth considering.

>>7953833
It might also be worth it to try and find a map of the current layout in the Hangar Block.

>>7953841
Shit! What about the Mobile Artillery we requested? Anything on that Apologised?

>>7953263
FOR QUEEN AND COUNTRY

>>7953833

I don't want our forces so spread out that they'll be encountering heavy resistance from the word go.

>>7953841
We split up once we break into the base. We need to cover as much ground as possible in a relatively short time.

>>7953858

HAHA OH WOW

>>7953543
>Go play some cards or something with the team, We need to spend some time with them that isn´t ordering them around.

You get out the deck of cards. Come to think of it, you haven't really had a game since Strauss got transferred out, maybe this time you'll actually win some money.

"So, anyone worried about the attack?"

You ask as you casually try to bluff your way through a pair of 3's.

"A little I guess, I mean this is the big one right?" says Ruubens, already folded.

"Well, if things go sour, I think we stand a good chance of getting out if things go south. I mean with the Aggs, the Drill Suits we can just make out own exits if we need to. Also, the Outer Heaven can VTOL, so it just drops low and we hop aboard." Jolyne supplies, keeping her cards close to her ample chest.

"Yeah, but what about the rest of the forces?" Asks Hovis.

"Well, last I saw, all of the Gaw crews were picking out spots on the map where they could land. I think if things go badly then the other units are supposed to retreat to those zones, board and then book." Zolomon supplies.

"Guerrilla fighting out of Jaburo? That's going to be fun." You comment.

"Remember Panama? When ALL of the North American reserve landed on our asses?" Zolomon asks.

"I remember getting knocked out from the pressure wave of a nuclear explosion and waking up surrounded by rubble."
You state.

"Good times man. Good times."

"Fuck you too Mr Ringo."

>and Voila, No more Feddie reinforcements to space

...until repairs are effected. The point is to do irreperable damage.

wait a minute.

could we target the rail systems by which the blocks of Jaburo are moved? Possibly those should be very hard to repair (being huge and complex systems for which spares might not be readily available). and the Feddie defenses would then be compromised in the long term, making repeated assaults much more viable.

>>7953847

And particularly, location of the door controls.

Okay. So hows this sound:

Team 1 drills up into and secures the Hanger while a Commando Drop targets their command center and attempts to grab Intel and disable the Feds ability to mobilize resistance.

From there it's a smash and grab job on their key support installments and if need be a speedy retreat.

How does this sound to everyone?

>>7953878
Mention how we want no one to waste their lives. Also, again, peptalk Elaine/Ruubens.

>>7953882
When we find out that Jaburo is indeed very modular once we get inside, we most definitely will.

>>7953882
Gentlemen, we have our first priority.

>>7953878
I assume Hobbes is sitting there wondering if we're for real.

And whether we'll be pissed when he drops a Royal Flush and cleans everybody out.

Before we go in, we need to do the following:

Make sure that nobody is going to be retiring after the mission.
Confiscate all family pictures that would be sitting inside of an MS cockpit.
Ensure that any potential romantic relationships are acknowledged and consummated.

These will all reduce mortality rates significantly.

>>7953932
First priority is getting those hangers open for the boys on the surface. More guys inside means more of Jaburo goes Boom.

>>7953932
>>7953911
>>7953882

Indeed, this is our primary objective.

Secondary objective is to fuck everything we can up along the way before and after that, this way its a even bigger mess.

>>7953882
...well holy shit, I think you just had the best idea of any of us.

WE WILL LISTEN TO THIS MAN.

>>7953938
Man has a point. Alright guys, we need to nail Jolyne AND Elaine in the same night.

Let's go.

>>7953882

MY GOD YOU ARE A GENIUS!

Yesssss Along with the generators we target the RAIL BLOCK LINES!

So, I've been reading through the archives, and there doesn't seem to be a part 24 up there. Was it lost or something, or is it perhaps saved somewhere else? Failing that, did anything monumental happen in it? It seems that it was the end of the Garma's Guard arc and I want to know what happened.

>>7953910
>Mention how we want no one to waste their lives. Also, again, peptalk Elaine/Ruubens.

Fuck that, pep talk everyone.

>>7953882
You sir are a gentleman and a scholar. This is the best idea anyone's posted for the attack on Jaburo.

>>7953982
It got archived as part 23. You'll see it right underneath the actual part 23.

>>7953982

On further inspection, it looks like like 26b and 33b are missing as well.

>>7953984
That's implied by the first part. We want Elaine to believe in herself, because we believe in her. She has the hardest job, and the more sure of herself she is, the better she's going to do.

And yes, fuck up the block lines.

>>7954019
They don't exist, somebody screwed up with the naming.

>>7954019
There were no part bs for those ones.

>>7954013

Ah, thank you sir. I guess that with some further exploring I could have cleared that up myself, but I wanted to avoid spoilers if possible, given how much I've enjoyed that parts I've seen so far.

Objective 1: Open the hanger doors.

Objective 2: Ruin the rail lines.

Secondary Objectives:
-Destruction of power systems.
-Destruction of launch capability.
-Securing of Intel.

Final objectives.
-Everything else.

>>7953984
>>7954025
Perhaps we should say the following to everybody, not just Nachtmaren:

"Ladies and gentlemen, our job here is not to die for Zeon. It's to make a whole lot of Feddies die for Zeon. Don't confuse the two, at least not if you want a chance of me buying you a round of the good stuff when we get back."

>>7954026
>>7954028

Righto, thanks. In that case, since everything seems to be there, back to the archives! Hopefully I'll be able to start reading the threads as they're posted by next week.

Also, since I'm here for this for once, thanks a ton for the quest Apologised. It's been great reading so far.

>>7953982
Someone fucked up the names. Here's 24.
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/7522614/

>>7954065
We should do this just prior to the operation day of, not the night before.

>>7954071

Seriously. This has been the first I've actively contributed to and I'm having a blast.

Bonuses of the destroyed Rail Blocks lines?

1. They'll only have a fixed point to deploy forces.
2. Their 'Mobile HQ' is severly limited.
3. And subsequent attack will be focused on the fixed point, thus necessitating either improved defenses of that section of Jabro, or abandoning of that section entirely.
3a. In the event of added fortifications of that section material used in the creation of said fortifications will not boost the war effort.
3b. In the event of abandoning that section of Jabro, they lose a MASSIVE portion of their military production capability.

BRAVO sir for suggesting this. Its a masterstroke.

>>7954052
Don´t forget:

Objective 0: No squad deaths.

>>7954013

Which is why I'd prefer it if people let me archive the threads.
Only if my computer up and dies should you consider archiving it for me.

Anyway, after a night of playing poker with mixed results (Jolyne plays a good enough game, but has difficulty spotting a bluff. Hovis's playing style is best described as "solid" and "pedestrian", Zolomon's poker face is as bad as ever, Calvin's got a mean poker face, but can't read other peoples for toffee. Ruuben's game is all over the place, rookie errors everywhere with moments of brilliance interspersed.) You receive a message the next morning stating that the Mad Angler Unit has docked on the western coastline and is requesting a meeting and tactical update with the Captains and you.

You and a platoon of the Mech Infantry make your way over to a secluded beachline where you have a reunion with Flanagan Boone.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR FLANAGAN AND THE MAD ANGLER UNIT?

>>7954190

WASSSUUUP?

>>7954190

Any new intel? Also,afterwards, invite him for drinks, and Zol is buying.

>>7954213

Addendum, also tell him about our ideas concerning destroying the Rail block lines they use to move Jabro base sections everywhere.

What are they aiming at for their primary objectives?

>>7954190
We know he has connections with Intelligence, ask him if there's anything he knows we can use during this op.

>>7954190
What's the situation on the aquatic front?

>>7954190
Ask about their standoff missile capabilities. If we don't have our mobile arty, then maybe a Cruise Missile barrage would be helpful. It would have to be dumb guidance though, given the Minovsky density. Also ask for their plans regarding getting their Mobile Suits into Jaburo.

>>7954190
"If you're on the west coast of Costa Rica, aren't you on the wrong side of the continent from where you need to be?"

Okay, joking, geography in Gundam is screwy, etc.

More seriously, "What's the situation like at sea?" and "just how stealthy are you and your Acguys?"

>>7954190

"Any Submergable Carriers around?"

>>7954190

Ask about the sub's missiles being impromptu artillery support.

Also doublecheck their MSM unit composition. If they've got anything cool or very specialized in there, it'd be good to know about it.

>>7954266
That's not funny man. That's been our one big failure & it was a bit of a doozy.

We need to coordinate all of our actions.

We can't be a handful of different groups. We all need to be a piece of a bigger puzzle.

>>7954266
"If I don't see THAT FUCKING CARRIER one more time..."

>>7954336
Ugh. Yup.

Also, ask about their compliment, in addition to how they will be able to get in. What is it composed of, and what would it be most effective doing.

>>7954213
>Any new intel? Also,afterwards, invite him for drinks, and Zol is buying.

He say's he'll take your offer up after the mission (assuming you both get back) Also, in terms of intel, he doesn't have anything new about the Operation. All he can supply is that pretty much all of the federation navy forces have now been dealt with, so don't worry about any unexpected guests in that area.

>>7954254
>>7954302

Flanagan thinks the idea has merit, but the problem is that unguided missiles launched from the subs will take a while to reach the operations area depending on where the Hangars will be. Also, they aren't too accurate. You can bombard a wide area, but you can ONLY bombard a wide area.

>>7954365
Glad I'm not the only one who saw it.

Just a suggestion!

Shouldn't pilots or some soldiers have small camcorders?

If the attack on Jaburo is successful, we want to make sure as much amateur video floods the Feddie airwaves as possible.

The more grainy footage showing a bunch of Zakus planting a Zeon flag on the rubble of Jaburo HQ, the better!

>>7954477
Perhaps we could see about having him and the marine suits sneak past Jaburo during the confusion of the attack, and then launch a second assault right as the Cuba strike force returns?

>>7954508
We all have cameras installed already.

>>7954517
They would be SLAUGHTERED.

>>7954508
No, we do something even better.

We take the combat footage and set it to General Revil's "Zeon is exhausted" speech, picking scenes for maximum irony. Then we run THAT over the airwaves.

Damn I'm late tonight.

I think we really need to think about what suits to bring. Sure, the Aggs are a must, but are any of the other Jaburo assault units really worth it? I think they are far to hyper-specialized for us to put to good use, give them out to redshirts.

The Doms aren't a good choice either, as they will be severely limited by the close quarters. I think it would be best if we use our F2, and Zol in his Gouf. Jolyn and Hovis should support the ground attack with Hobbes as spotter.

>>7954532

Well then, good enough for me.

I was just... the more amateur and less connected to Zeon tech the vids are, the more believable they might be and the more impact the footage will have.

We don't want commanders seeing this on the nightly news and get a good laugh.

>>7954536
The trick would be hitting as the Cuba strike force is landing. Remember, that and takeoff are the most vulnerable times for any aircraft, and they're going to be low on fuel. It would be a redux of our attack on the Feddie airfields in Iowa.

>>7954449

The MSM compliment in the Mad Angler unit consists of 2 companies worth of Marine Mobile Suits. 6 of which are the new Hygoggs, about 7 Acguy's some Gogg's and three Z'Goks. Oh and Flanagans Grablo.

>>7954556
They are too hyperspecialized, for anything other than their intended purpose.

Given that their intended purpose is INVADING JABURO, and we're about to INVADE JABURO, I think they'll be fairly useful this time.

>>7954551
Good call.

>>7954556
These were designed expressly for the purpose of fucking up Jaburo. Expressly. That being said, they are overspecialized to a point. I also disagree with your point about the Doms. If we decide to use them they're the only units on the field fast enough to cover any meaningful distance within Jaburo proper.

>>7954572

Uh.. now, doesn't Cuba has six squads of heavy MS/MAs outloaded for AA stationed there when the trap is sprung?

Flanagan has one hell of a force at his disposal, we need to make sure he can get in the base. His attack should be staggered with ours, and ours with the main attack.

Feddies focus on the air attack first, then we bust in though the wall and they need are now fighting on two fronts. A few minutes later once they are digging in to deal with us his force busts in and now the Feds are divided three ways.

>>7954584
>Hygoggs

Well, that's damn nice.

We're going to want the Mad Angler and its suits in position about a day or two ahead of time. It hides and runs silent, launching Acguys to scout out an underwater route into Jaburo. Once they find it, they deploy the rest of the suits to use it. Have them time their assault to start when the attack on the hangar block does.

>>7954584

Oh, that's good. I was thinking about that earlier. Maybe a good shoot and scoot vehicle if he can vector those Surface to Air missile launchers properly.

>>7954551

FUND IT!

>>7954572
Yes, but they'd have to completely destroy the entire compliment, or be wiped out in the retaliatory strike by dint of numbers alone. Too risky IMO.

The skull knight went down to Jaburo, looking for souls to reap...

>>7954622
Seconded.

>>7954591
>>7954590
Also yeah. We sould take advantage of our specialized suits while we can. Although we should try and make sure Zol's Zogok is carrying heat hawks.

>>7954590

It just seems like Our standard F2 load out can bring much more firepower to bear, and is equipped for a number of situations. Sure having a unit with heat-rod arms is great for point blank fighting, it makes you useless in the event you run into some tanks at a few hundred meters. And you can't tell me razor boomerangs are better than a bazooka, MG and panzerfausts.

>>7954666
>666 spooky

>>7954666

Hey now. We don't get too ahead of ourselves with the whole death thing, skeleton motif, and nightmare squad.

Really, we're a pretty cool dude.

>>7954666
Zeon was in a bind, and they were way behind, but he found a soul to keep

>>7954551
I like you.

>>7954641
Disregard >>7954572, I suck cocks.

>>7954622 is now my idea for the marine contingent.

>>7954673
Valid point, but these machines were designed to work as a team. And we'll have two companies of suits backing us. Best we use the Jaburo attack suits TOGETHER as they were intended to, and leave the rest to the 123 and 131.

>>7954673
For fighting in an underground urban environment where we aren't going to be able to RTB to reload?

The razor boomerangs are going to be very useful.

>>7954693
Haha, word. I second that plan as well.

>>7954683
>>7954666

So, we should flood the probable feddie comm channels with death metal music?

>>7954741

Yes.

>>7954741
Mhmm.

It just feels wrong that we become masters of conventional battle and weapons only to switch out for gimmiky suits at the very end.

I would say we should have our normal suits put on stand-by at a staging point at the tunnels entrance, but if things get bad enough that we need to switch out for standard firepower, I don't think we'll have enough time to switch out suits anyway.

>>7954741
the metalacalypse.... of jaburo...

>>7954721
>>7954705

Also yeah. If we can dick arond in Jaburo for ages withot running out of ammo, then we're golden. Granted the Juaggs will have some issues here, given that they can't reload all that well. Honestly, i'd prefer Acguys over them.

>>7954590

>Given that their intended purpose is INVADING JABURO, and we're about to INVADE JABURO, I think they'll be fairly useful this time.

Yeah. Also, as a player of Gihren's Greed, a fair few of the Jaburo Attack MS are actually pretty good. The Aggugguy is like a mad cross between a Gouf and an Acguy, and the Juagg's got a decent punch. The others aren't too great admittedly.

>We're going to want the Mad Angler and its suits in position about a day or two ahead of time. It hides and runs silent, launching Acguys to scout out an underwater route into Jaburo. Once they find it, they deploy the rest of the suits to use it. Have them time their assault to start when the attack on the hangar block does.

TRYING to find an alternate way in. Failing that, they'll try to make it to the hangar site when it begins to open, and attempt to do so undetected. But Flanagan aggrees to get to Jaburo a couple of day's early and case the sea routes out.

With the plan laid out, you all take the drive back to the stagin area.

YOU HAVE 6 DAY'S REMAINING. ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO?

>>7954756
Special use suits for one thing? The thing we're doing? While we attack with a large, coordinated combined arms strike? That doesn't make sense to you?

Huh.

>>7954769
Use the Juaggs specifically to blow up key bits of the rail infrastructure that lets the Feddies move Jaburo around.

>>7954771
Do some close combat drills with your team, and practice underwater movements if necessary.

With our last 6 days:

Make sure everyone knows to self destruct their suits if needed. Also that they all have a pistol, SMG, ammo, and at least 2 grenades in case they get stuck out of suit.

Aside from that, I say we give a big toast to everyone here. Also spend time with our crew relaxing. Some of us might die after all.

>>7954771
Maybe the aquatics shouldn't putz around in the water when they can just come in the hanger we opened. If we find any underground rivers while fighting in Jaburo we should make note of them though in case we have a return trip to Jaburo.

>>7954791

Rapid reaction Wapp recovery teams to pickup stranded pilots?

Or do we ask the Wapp mounted infantry to keep an eye out for us?

Say to Jolyne, "Let's go on a date when we're done with this." And then speed off on a motorcycle wearing a leather jacket and sunglasses.

>>7954771
Hang out with the team. In fact, be sure to put in appearances with the other Companies too. Make ourselves look good. Also, peptalk each member of our squad, and again, make sure Elaine feels in control, and that she CAN drill through the fucking bedrock.

>>7954771

Can we get a doublecheck on what our team's suit loadout will be?

also,
1. See if Zolomon's suit, whatever he picks, can mount heat hawks.
2. Scour all our forces, collect as many death metal CD's as possible, use them to flood probable feddie comm channels.
3. Go over all the supporting units, make sure inter-unit morale and cooperation is good. Make sure everyone knows how to properly coordinate with the infantry and air assets.

>>7954791
Seriously. Strengthen intra-squad bonds. This will be the most dangerous thing any of us have done aside from testing for the 603rd.

>>7954798

If we focus on attacking only one point, the Feddies can then bring everything that have to bare on that one point as well. Combined arms, we attack from the sky, the ground, and the water and throw them off balance and make them split their forces.

>>7954771
Throw a serious party two days before the assault, for everybody that's going to be involved.

The last day is going to be a combination of sleeping off the party and doing last-minute maintenance and prep work.

>>7954807
And then die in the ensuing battle? Brilliant.

>>7954791

Also yeah. Make sure each of our guys is /Heavily Armed? In case they need to bail. Use Zol and us as examples. See if we can get the other squads to follow suit.

Also see if we can fit a LAW or something in out cockpit along with or SMG and silenced pistol.

>>7954807
See >>7954822

And besides, I thought we were gunning for Reubens, And were trying to hook up Zolomon with Jolyne.

>>7954815
That also means splitting our forces though. I'd rather hit them as hard as we can as fast as we can.

>>7954855

Ruubens and Hobbes look like they've got something going on.

Also Jolyne made vague allusions to liking us while drunk. Also she isn't happy with Zol. It's not much to go on, but it's interesting.

>>7954855
Jolyne was drunkenly hitting on us though. I'm a firm proponent of the David x Jol ship. She's more attractive, and to be honest, I'm not sure Elaine would know what to do.

>>7954855
I don't think we're really going for anyone in particular, just that the people who want us to get Ruubens are most vocal.

>>7954855
Elaine's with Calvin.

>>7954899
Also, she's more suited to Dave personality-wise and age-wise.

She's the Crowley Hamon to our Ramba Ral. Kind of.

>>7954889

The MSMs are better equipped for attack from a sea route, not getting dropped out of a Gaw or slugging it out on foot. The air attack starts as a diversion, with ground units moving into position to get ready to breach. The underground team starts the real attack and opens the way for the ground forces. The Marine team follows up with heavy firepower from an area that the Feds probably weren't expecting.

>>7954849
>Also see if we can fit a LAW or something in out cockpit
Those things aren't as spacious as cars you know.

>>7954791
>Make sure everyone knows to self destruct their suits if needed. Also that they all have a pistol, SMG, ammo, and at least 2 grenades in case they get stuck out of suit.

you make sure that everyone in the MS unit is outfitted in their cockpit as such, just in case.

Also, you don't need any training in using the Jaburo MS, as that was the point of your two weeks in Hawaii.

>Aside from that, I say we give a big toast to everyone here. Also spend time with our crew relaxing. Some of us might die after all.

On the last day before battle everyone on the operation has they're last minute rituals. You all play cards and get the last of the pre-battle prep.

Speaking of which, it's time to finally decide once and for all which mobile suits you'll be doing this op in.

THE OUTER HEAVEN CAN ONLY CONTAIN 6 MOBILE SUITS AND ONE MA

To answer the earlier question, yes Hovis can use Marine MS, and yes he can use the Zock, as well as any other Marine MS.

CHOOSE YOUR MS AND LOADOUT

>>7955011

Well, We will need the 2 Aggs, The Doms are needed so we can cover alot of area fast, I also reccomend the Gouf.

>>7955011
Well shit. Hovis is in.

Copypasting from earlier.


Agg 1- Elaine
Agg 2- Redshirt

I second Kemal's loadout.

David - MSM-04N Agguguy with 1 Z'Gok beam arm
Zol - MSM-08 Zogok with additional heat hawks.
Jolyne- MSM-04G Juagg
Hovis- Zock
Calvin- Recon Zaku w/ Dodai

I say the reason we have Calvin n his Recon Zaku is that he's going to be the spotter for the Outer Heaven and the Gaws, and perhaps most importantly, the Angler squadron. With Minovsky density being what it is in this area, it would help immensely. Plus we have someone topside to keep us appraised of how things are going.

Don't forget to ask Jolyne out.

>>7955070
WILL GET US KILLED. MAYBE AFTER THE BATTLE BUT CERTAINLY NOT BEFORE.

>>7955088
** MAYBE ASK HER OUT AFTER THE BATTLE. BUT CERTAINLY NOT BEFORE.

While I think it would be hilarious to let the Rino lose in Jaburo, I don't think it would be that easy to get in or out. I say Hovis should stay with the ground forces are provide fire support, and then come charging in and wreck the Feddies shit once we get the doors open. Hobbes should stay outsdie to and provide support to friendly units for CAS/Arty.

David- the Acguy looking one with heat-rod arms
Zol- ZoGok
Jolyn- Juagg
Ruby- Agg

>>7955102

>Outsdie
>Die

You just Jinxed him.

>>7955168
I would have appeared to have made a Freudian slip.

>>7955061
I'd rather we go with:
David - MSM-04N Agguguy, standard arms. (Without the Z'Gok's heatsinks, the beam arm is a one-shot deal.)
Zol - MSM-08 Zogok with additional heat hawks.
Jolyne- MSM-04G Juagg
Hovis- Zock, but if that won't fit through the Agg tunnel, we'll give him a Juagg.
Calvin- Another Juagg.

I don't really like the idea of Calvin flitting about all on his own lke a big flying target. Also, we've trained as a team, after all.

Also, if we spilt up into teams, we should go:
Team 1: Us, Jo, Ruubens
Team 2: Zol, Hovis Calvin, redshirt.
With Zol having operational of the other squad.

>>7955183
I support this load out in the event that we must bring Hovis and Hobbes along with us, even though I think they would be of more use outside.

>>7955183

The thing is, Calvin is recon. This is what he does. We should use his strength, for spotting for artillery, the Gaws, and the subs for Cruise missile spam.

>Agg 1- Elaine
>Agg 2- Redshirt

>I second Kemal's loadout.

>David - MSM-04N Agguguy with 1 Z'Gok beam arm
>Zol - MSM-08 Zogok with additional heat hawks.
>Jolyne- MSM-04G Juagg
>Hovis- Zock
>Calvin- Recon Zaku w/ Dodai

Okay, this is fine. As the final day arrives you wake up and prepare your suits, loading the MS you'll be using into the Outer Heaven, making sure the ones that aren't being used are properly secured.
Around this time, Operation Terminus should be beginning.

As well as the fake minovsky bombs, the Trebuchet system will also be scattering combination Minovsky/Seismic noismakers onto the area, ingeniously designed to appear as if their primary function is to spread Minovsky particles and that the seismic pulses it is putting out are just a happy side effect.

Midday comes and you all have a quiet but relatively decent meal before the battle.

"Alright Ladies and Gentlemen. Saddle up."

You mount up in your semi-custom Agguguy, and as the rest of your squad does the same, you feel the thrust of the Outer Heavens engines as it surges forward.

Outside, 8 other Gaw planes fly into the sky alongside the Zanzibar Kai, flanked on all sides by many Dopp fighters acting as a screen.

The sun is directly overhead and death or glorly lies directly in front of you.

Gentlemen. The time has come.

TO BE CONTINUED.

Good threads chaps! See you tomorrow for the EPIC.

>>7955254
I sure hope our squad comes out of it alive.

>>7955254

DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUN

This'll be fun.

>>7955254
Gentlemen. For bettor or worse, tomorrow we make history.

Yet again.

Just for fun, If we were forced to leave a person behind for some reason, Who would we leave?

>>7955317
>>7955289
>>7955294

God, I certainly hope so. I hope I don't have another thread like yesterday, I had a headache for some of it, and then when the painkillers kicked in I was totally wasted.

>>7955367

FFFFF DONT JINX IT D:

>>7955369

Great thread Apologized!

Before we actually start the assault on Jabro, we're going to get a rundown of our forces, right?

I think this maybe the most complex quest we'vehad in a LONG while.

>>7955496

If not ever on my behalf.

If we talking Quests on /tg/ Lordquest has me beat by a WIDE margin, and HANA quest comes damn close.

>>7955443

Whoops?

>>7955517
I try not to be complicated - I am really looking forward to the next session of this though. An action quest is quite fun to be in, and that's what I'm planning to experiment with next.

I'm a bit sad we aren't taking El Muerto, just feels wrong to leave it out...

Additionally I'll be disappointed if we don't see the gundam prototype...

>>7955545
>Additionally I'll be disappointed if we don't jack the gundam prototype...

Fucking fixed. We're taking that Gundam somehow.

>>7955567

I'd be happy even if we could nab some beam sabers off of a GM or something, to fit to our Dom or (forthcoming) Gelgoog.
But yes, jacking a Gundam would be awesome.

>>7955606

Question is, what would happen since we have the best mechanic/engineer/crazy genius in Zeon?

Also, we need a giant Zeonic flag to carry/hoist.

We've gotten this many threads and not one drawfag.../tg/ I am dissappoint D:

>>7955645

Seconding this!

Raise the flag Iwo Jima style when we win!

WITH ZAKUS!

>>7955650
There was one who did Jolyne I believe.

>>7955638
...Beam axes for Zolomon?

>>7955606
Well, at least one of the RX-78 series should be there.

Of course, chances are good that by the time we find it its Feddie pilot will already have suited up.

Tomorrow will be FUN.

Also, any chance of an omake as to Garma's first reports of the Side 7 fiasco? That should have happened a day or two before our attack on Jaburo.

>>7955650
>>7955668
we got some art for an aerial battle too.

>>7955668
Ohhhh yeah...

>>7955645
A Zeon Flag?

Only if it's a GN Flag.

>>7955708

So uh... wait what? I don't remember those...

>>7955698
>Also, any chance of an omake as to Garma's first reports of the Side 7 fiasco? That should have happened a day or two before our attack on Jaburo.

Oh shit... Amuro is now in the Gundam.

I'm now feeling like I did when I first started mission 19 of SRW OG1 and the Valsion and Granzon were sitting there waiting for me.

>>7955715

Pfft, all we need is a big flag with a picture of Garma on it.

Feddies surrender to his awesome hairs natural body and sheen.

>>7955750
...do you think Garma could grow a beard and 'stache?

If he can, we wouldn't even need to fight battles anymore; Feddies would surrender in droves the instant they saw his picture.

>>7955829

I have a feeling that he can onlygrow stubble... <_<

>>7955717
back round ep 10

>>7955829
>>7955875

No. He can't grow facial hair.

He CAN however grow out a bitching ponytail.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tu0BpXIXKDA

Come to think of it, Garma's Faction in GG does get a bitching selection of tech and Aces.

>>7955949

After Jaburo, we gotta do Operation: GARma. Or how to make him as manly as possible, but still being fabulous.

You know, like Lelouch, but less of a flaming douchefag.

>>7955981
Operation: GAR-MAN

>>7955949

GG?

>>7956060
Gihrens Greed, More or less like Risk for Gundam. No english translation or release sadly.

>>7956060
Ghiren's Greed, a strategy game.

That said, SHIN MATSUNAGA IS SO COOL. I thought he'd be a pretty boy, or asian looking, with one of the few Japanese names floating around, but DAMN. BEARD AND MOUSTACHE, WITH A WHITE MS.

>>7955949
Well, figure that Garma's Faction is GO if we can defeat the Feddies, because Gihren is guaranteed to do something tremendously dickish if he does.

Zeonquest2: ZEON HARDER would presumably be about the civil war between Gihren and Garma over the future of Zeon and the Earth Sphere. With Feddie remnants and the Jupiter fleet also dicking around with things.

>>7956244
And we'll be the tip of Garma's spear.

<-we need to preform this at least once

>>7956282
I guess the real question is whether, well, anybody who actually got a name would be following Gihren.

Of course, Char might also decide to reveal himself. Or "Sayla Mass" might be forced to use her real name. Which would confuse things even more.

>>7956339
No one likes Gihren, He would get pounded like jerk he is.

But i guess he might manage to bribe some people, Like Gineas.

But the majority would follow Garma.

>>7956339
Things don't get confusing for David Lister.

Someone tries to kill him? They die.
Someone tries to kill his friends and loved ones? They die.
Someone tries to hurt and kill the innocent? They really die.

>>7956339
If Char survives he might try to form NeoZeon against Garma's Zeon over his searing hatred for the Zabis. He'd only have Apolly and Roberto though.

>>7956369

Gineas and Ghiren... with their penchant for super weapons... yikes.

Also, if that's how Zeonquest 2 goes down, the Civil War between Garma and Ghiren, I can only imagine it.

Track down Amuro Rey and get him to work for us.

>>7956405
Nah, he'll be dead by then.

>>7956405
We'd have Dozle.

>>7956413
Not dead, But with his friends safe he would probably go back into civilian life, He only piloted to save the civvies of Side 7 to begin with, And if we can stop the war before his Character development (That is,Before he meets his mom and shoots a soldier.) he should have no problems going back into being a civilian.

>>7956444
Nah. David and Zolomon will end up in a 2 on 1 fight against him. David's suit will be immobilized, and Zolomon will charge Amuro's Gundam with twin heat axes. Zolomon will take heavy damage, but he'll sink both axes into Amuro's suit, locking the two of them together as Zol's reactor goes critical and atomizes them both.

>>7956486
Or we could never fuck with the gundam and take on targets that will actually help us win the war.

>>7956503
Yeah. But after Zolomon sacrifices himself to take out Amuro, we take the stand at his state funeral and give a Sieg Zeon speech.

>>7956515

...given the blatant nazi overtones of the original scene, it would be the height of irony to have a picture of a black guy with an afro as the backdrop for such a state funteral.

>>7956551
Mhm. And with it being a speech by David, it would be much less Nazified.

>>7956444
Well, his mom was somewhere in North America.

If we've taken out Jaburo, then chances are good that White Base will be aiming for the UK or Ireland instead, seeing as how that would be the largest remaining concentration of Feddie forces. So he won't have the chance to meet his mom again.

>>7956486
I prefer the idea of Dave and Zol distracting him for long enough to have Hobbes light him up for Jolyne and Hovis.

He won't awaken as a Newtype until much later in the war, so a barrage from heavy artillery would ruin his whole day.

>>7956637
Indeed. Amuro's plot armor will ensure that he does not die, but the Gundam will likely need a major overhaul after something like that.

>>7956675
Wrong.

Once Zeon wins this war, there will be a wide order for all Fed military forces to be executed.

INCLUDING AMURO.

>>7956752 Once Zeon wins this war, there will be a wide order for all Fed military forces to be executed.

You don't waste time killing the little guys.

>>7956391
Maybe, maybe not. If we play our cards right we may be able to make him just hate the corrupt Zabi family members. His hate for the Zabi family was stronger than his friendship with Garma in canon, but that could change.

>>7956752
Eh, Mass execution tend to not happen after wars, Atleast i don´t think they do.

Well, I can see Gihren ordering it, But Dozle or Garma? Hardly.

Then again, If Gihren does order a mass execution i think it would be enough to make Garma and Dozle go against him, Meaning that the stage is set for Zeonquest 2.

>>7956752
Gihren might give an order like that, but Garma never would.

>>7956752
And then we have ZetaZeonquest, except with Gihren's Zeon as the Titans, Garma's Zeon as the AEUG, and probably the Feddie remnants as Axis Zeon.

Whatever happens in the future, David and Zolomon have to get into the Zeon history books.

>>7956902

Pffft, dude I think we already are.

We're currently the author of Mobile Suits in Attack. The only known combined arms textbook on Mobile suit tactics and integration within a larger tactical theater.

We're on our way.

>>7956963
Yeah. But we need to get into the position where we're known Zeon wide. We need to become generals and shit.

After the war, we should use our military history to get into politics.

>>7956995
It worked for Eisenhower.

What might happen is that we get made military governor of something in the wake of Zeon victory.

It would give us a chance to focus on the other thing we were writing an essay about; namely, proper occupation policy and peacekeeping. And to continue our history of trying, as much as possible, to be GOOD PEOPLES.

Which also puts us in a position to spearhead the ZetaZeonquest version of either the AEUG or Karaba; as Gihren makes increasingly strident demands for us to go all Nazi-flavored, we tell him "fuck no" and rebel in favor of Garma.

>>7956995
That'll be trivial as long as Garma survives. Considering that we also impresses Doyle, I think we have it made already. If we actually mange to cripple or destroy Jeb. . . We will be goddamn icons.

>>7957070

DAVID LISTER! GOVERNOR OF FIJI!

>>7957121
For maximum lulz-factor, why not Great Britain?

>>7957121
>>7957165

I would prefer ruling over Axis.

David Lister: Governor of Central Latin America.

Zolomon Ringo: Asst. Governor of Central Latin America.

>>7957121
This. We'll get a farm.

>>7957189
As Axis is already Zeon territory, a military governor is probably not required.

>>7957255
Awwww, I still want Axis though, It was the only thing capable of defeating Amuro... Although it was blown up in the progress.

>>7957254
>>7957254

We'll find our Kristine Kochanski.

>>7953262
Please stop spamming www. anon
talk
. com.

Okay, so, is it at all possible to try and get a Kampfer later, when they get made, or prototyped? Because I think we should use one of those, with a skull and bones motiff with some fire accents, and zoom about murdering with our SUPER DEX.

>>7957269
Actually, the overloading psycoframe was the only thing capable of defeating Amuro.

And the psycoframe was given to Anaheim Electronics by... Char.

So in a roundabout sort of way, Char won after all.

>>7957341
Ah, But it only overloaded due him trying to stop Axis.

Still, It shows how utterly ridiculous Amuros plotarmor was, And why we shouldn´t try to engage him if possible.

>>7957280
Oh anonymous, you so crazy. We already have.
