>>8048850
Don't forget to circulate the footage of us and the rest of the invasion force inflicting MASSIVE DAMAGE, overlayed with the Zeon is Exhausted speech for maximum irony.

FUCK YES

ZEONQUEST IS ON

*Nokos and watches intently*

After a harrowing fight with an enemy ace in an unidentified High Performance mobile suit, you retreated back to your Mothership: The Zanzibar Kai class Assault Cruiser: Outer Heaven.

You are currently inside it's hangars, getting some cursory repair work. Most of the engineers are concentrating on Hovis's badly damaged Zock.

Captain Fontaine opens a direct line to you from the bridge.

"Well, we can make our getaway long before Jaburo's air contingent arrives, but the 123rd and 131st aren't so fortunate. The Gaw's can't land in this tropical terrain, and Engineering Unit has had to make one 10 miles north of here. Under good conditions, that'd be a half-hour walk for Zaku's, thing is, in this terrain, surrounded by enemy tanks, Fin-Fans and god knows what else, I think were about as far from good conditions as you can get."

"What's the game plan for their extraction?" You ask.

"Wappa mounted Infantry have been scouting a path across the terrain to the extraction site, and the Gaw's are already making their way now. The engineering unit has also come with our left over Mobile Suits from California, were to move ahead, swap our current MS for those fresh ones and support the retreat effort. Friendly Dopp squadrons are also on fire support until the enemy fighters start to arrive."

>>8048956
we need more info on what kind of suits we have, weaponry, etc.

>>8048956
(Didn't we burn a landing strip in the jungle for just this kind of thing? Or did we never get around to that?)

I think us and Ruubend in Doms, Jolyne in the Artillery Dom, Zol in his Gouf Custom and Hobbes with the flipper/recon suit on a Dodai to provide information on the enemy forces and to relay that to the retreating companies to help them avoid the pursuing enemy units.

Hovis, I'm not sure about. If we have the Rhino, maybe that since the Zock is damaged.

In honor of Zeonquest I present these

>>8049012

>>8049012

Aaaand thats all I got so far.

>>8049030

Alright, that right there is awesome. I didn't expect it at all.

>>8049006
Unfortunately, all that is stuck back at California Base, since we needed all our room in the Outer Heaven for the infiltration MSs.

>>8049041

We're knights of Zeon, we're famous :D

>>8048969

You arrive at the extraction point in about 10 minutes. As your Aggugguy dismounts you see that this "Landing Strip" is little more than a relatively flat clearing that's been expanded by a unit of Zaku Tanks. You see 4 Fat Uncle Transports, your Mobile Suits already dismounted.

>>8049046

The engineering unit brought the rest of our stable from California Base though. We just need to go get them. I'm assuming they're near the landing strips with the Gaws.

>Thinly veiled RED DWARF GENERAL

>>8049059

No Doms? I don't recall, were they being worked on at this point? Or did we bring them in the Outer Heaven as backup or something?

>>8049030

Technically speaking, the David Lister in Zeonquest is more of a cross between this and Solid Snake.
Every time someone says something plot related he has to try very hard to resist the urge to repeat it back in a dramatic tone.

>>8049046
>The engineering unit has also come with our left over Mobile Suits from California

>>8049059
Oh well hello then. Guess we don't have to lug across the jungle in amphibious units after all.

>>8049092

Oh yes. I can't beleive I nearly forgot about those.

One Fat Uncle does indeed contain 2x MS-09 Doms and 1 MS-09K2 Dom Cannon.

Thanks for reminding me, that wasn't intentional at all.

All are of course in Nachtmaren Unit colours.

>>8049125

Most excellent. I know the jungle is somewhat unpleasant for MS in general, but how is the area we'll need to move through to assist the 123rd and 131st?

>>8049125
Are you sure you're feeling better? We really don't want to force you to run this if you're not feeling well. Take as much time as you need to recover, bro.

Lister and Ruubens in the Zakus, Zolomon in his Gouf, Jolyne in the Zaku cannon, Calvin goes in the recon suit, and Hovis gets the mobile armor.

>>8049059
>>8049125

>>8049006

>>8049186
Seconded. See if someone, maybe Zolomon, can equip one of the MS-scale flamethrowers for clearing a path.

Primary Objectives:

> Any supplemental objectives? Feel free to copy/paste

>>8049154

Dense Jungle, with trees over the 18m height of the Zaku's, and WELL over the heigh of enemy tanks, who have their own network of underground tunnels and concealed trails to move a LOT easier than we will.
Occaisionally they're are rivers, most are deep and fast enough to require careful forging, or a risky jump hop if a clear landing exists.
Also, there are sometimes clearings. These will be mined. If not giant anti-MS pit-traps outright.

The Wappa's have managed to hash out a route that avoids the most of these obstacles as possible, but it's still going to be slow going. Even without the prospect of enemy attack, it's going to take about 1 hour for the MS forces to reach the Extraction Zone.

That won't leave a lot of time to book it before the Fighters arrive, but it'll be better than not being off the ground before the bombers arrive.

>>8049186

I'm gonna agree with this loadout, unless the terrain is really terrible, to the point where we couldn't use the hoverjets on the Doms. In that case, I'd go with our Zaku's.

Are Doms really useful in this type of terrain? I doubt that we will be able to leverage the speed of the Doms to best use in this jungle. Losing the Doms would hurt far more than losing the Zakus. . .

>>8049125
arm up in in previous stated config
>>8049006
lets get rockin'

>>8049169

I've got a headache I can still feel under the Ibruprofin I took around 3:30, but I don't think it's going to be a problem.

My neck is hella stiff though.

>>8049229
I was under the impression that the hoverskirts used by the Doms allowed for rapid change in direction, as well as good speed. That would mean that it's easy to avoid trees and other obstacles. If I'm wrong, and the terrain really IS bad for the Doms, then I think that we should switch to Zakus.

>>8049213
Would flamethrowers be good for clearing a path?

>>8049229
burn the jungle down with our MASSIVE THRUST

What are the wind conditions like?

Also what incindiary weapons are deployable from the Gaws/fat uncles/outer heaven?

Provided the wind is southernly (towards the base) we set fire to the rainforest behind our retreating troops to bog down feddie infantry, and destroy visability for armour.

If the prevailing wind isnt strong enough (and we set enough stuff on fire) this should also trouble Fin Fans due to increaces upward airflow.

tl;dr fire is awesome.

awwshit yea im just in-time.
.
i'm reading zeonquest while making a gunpla of the Bandit's RX78-1

Lets put the fear of Doms in those fuckers.
Maximum hit n run, blowing shit up and cutting stuff with our heat weaponry (saving ammo against planes).

Lets get our boys home!

>>8049272
this guy right here, i like his veiws and wish to subscribe to his newsletter.
.
does Zeon have SuperNapalm ?

>>8049261
If nothing else, they would be excellent for flushing out any Fed anti-MS teams skulking around in the undergrowth. Also, I don't entirely believe we've seen the last of the Ground GMs quite yet.

Personally I would feel more comfortable with nothing but Goufs or Efreets in this terrain, but Doms are better then nothing.

>>8049287

Oh! That reminds me, I have some unfinished Gunpla. I was gonna play Fallout 3 today (finishing up Zeta, good times) but since Zeonquest is up, I'm obviously gonna participate instead. But some Gunpla to fill the time between posts would work really well. Now the question is, HGUC Kampfer, or HGUC Char's Gelgoog?

>>8049292
I think the important thing to keep in mind is that these aren't normal flamethrowers. They are MS sized, and are meant to be hot enough to melt through tanks (I assume). Even if the foliage is damp and wet, it should still burn through, especially if there are more than one; if we, Elaine and Zol bring them, we should be able to cut a swathe fairly quickly.

>>8049309
Gelgoog, while chanting "CHAR-CHAR-CHAR"

>>8049301
>>8049293
>>8049261

Yeah, I'm thinking Dom's would be best here, overall. If all else fails they're still much tougher than Zakus. Be nice to get some flamethrowers to go with the bazookas, but I doubt that's feasible. HOWEVER, can we get incindiery rounds for the Dom Cannon?

>>8049261
>I was under the impression that the hoverskirts used by the Doms allowed for rapid change in direction, as well as good speed. That would mean that it's easy to avoid trees and other obstacles. If I'm wrong, and the terrain really IS bad for the Doms, then I think that we should switch to Zakus.

In terms of Terrain handling, the Doms would be better than the F2, but the Gouf Custom would be shitting over the both of them. The J types used primarily by the 123rd will have the second easiest time, whilst the F type Zaku's will be the slowest going. Zaku Cannons will be around the J's level IIRC.

>Would flamethrowers be good for clearing a path?

Risky, the MS forces are being supported by Wappa mounted Infantry remember, also the winds are changeable. The flames probably wouldn't damage the Mobile Suits, but the ammo might be a worry.

Can´t we use the Doms effectively if we hover over the water and go via the rivers?

Like how we did back when we arrived on earth after getting them?

>>8049338
It depends - I'd rather not trap our troops in a ranging inferno, as well as sending up enough smoke to give away our position. The Heat Axes would allow us to clear a path while staying somewhat hidden. And we won't kill friendly troops on the ground.

>>8049339

Gelgoog it is! And in lieu of chanting, I'm gonna listen to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uXh2fRG2Q8

>>8049349

Rather than clearing a path, I was thinking that fire would be a good way to secure our path behind us, and to obscure visibility from the air with smoke. Also, if we're lucky, it'll make close passes by planes more risky, and give us some leeway in that area. Also, since it's in the jungle with plenty of rivers, I don't imagine we'll get a full blown wildfire scenario too quickly to threaten us much. If I'm wrong though, or if anyone we can talk to about the plan THINKS we're wrong, I'd like to know before we start :P

>>8049360

Yes, but you've be restricted to the winding waterways then. You've be outside of friendly support about as deep into enemy territory as it's possible to be.

>>8049371

So, who's in what? Armed with what?

(FYI, I'll allow 120mm MG's for the Doms instead of the Bazooka's if you want them, apart from the Cannon, compound recoil issues.)

>Risky, the MS forces are being supported by Wappa mounted Infantry remember

Then deploy incindiary weapons from the air/arti behind our retreating troops preferably starting at the base exits once people are clear to hold back feddie gound forces. Despite minor changes in wind due to the dence forest there should be a single direction of prevailing wind (thats how weather works).

For unfaviourable prevailing wind direction set fire to forest near exis then use calvin to direct arty fire to slow the blaze down.

For forest clearing dom heat saber at 340kph should work nicely.

>>8049364
Oh, you were serious when you suggested Heat Hawks. Well, given what's been said, I guess you're right.

So, for us and Elaine, Heat Hawk, HUGE bazooka and 90mm MG, plus crackers, Zol with 2 Heat Hawks plus Flamethrower (Just in case. And besides, flamethrowers are short ranged, and that's where Zol will be.) Jol with Dom Cannon, 90mm MG plus Heat Hawk plus Dom Bazooka. Hobbes in the Flipper with 90mm MG and regular Bazooka. Hovis in the Rhino.

>>8049419
David would not know that much about weather. 98% of his life was in space, remember?

>>8049431
Ssh, don't remind the DM.

>>8049431

Thats what the operations staff on the outer heaven are for.

If David simply requested weather conditions they would work out the prevailing wind direction for him.

>>8049427

So wait? F2's or Doms or what?

>>8049371
>>8049364
>>8049427

I'd just like to point out that the Dom's regular heat rod would probably be much, much better than a heat hawk for clearing trees and such. It's far longer, and shown to be hot/strong enough to melt through a Zaku in seconds. I'd say ditch the hawks, go with their regular loadout.

Also, I doubt we need the 120mm MG's since we're not gonna be fighting alone, we don't need to worry as much about our ammo supply.

>>8049418

Any chance of incendiary ammo on hand for either of Joyle's artillery MS?

>>8049471
My vote's for Doms, with Zol in his Gouf, and Hovis in the Rhino.

>>8049427

What about dom heat sabers?

If they cleave through mobile suits just as if nor more easily than heat hawks why would trees pose a problem?

>>8049461
Agreed. We should probably avoid taking the giant bazookas with us and use machine guns instead. If we need some heavy firepower, slap some panzerfausts on just in case.

>>8049471

I say this:

David Lister - MS-09 Dom
Zolomon Ringo - Gouf Custom (Zolomon Ringo Custom)
Elaine "Ruubens" Arronax - MS-09 Dom
Jolyne Brande - MS-09K2 Dom Cannon
Hovis Goddard - Rhinoceros Heavy Support MA
Calvin Hobart - "Flipper" Recon Zaku

>>8049471
Sorry, I thought Doms had been accepted my the majority. This was written with this >>8049203
in mind.

>>8049471
Doms.

Do it with Doms.

>>8049475
>>8049491
>Heat Sabres

Totally forgot we had those, my bad. Everyone in a Dom should use that instead of a Heat Hawk.

>Any chance of incendiary ammo on hand for either of Joyle's artillery MS?

Not really, Zeon was never that big on Incinidery weapons, since they weren't any use in space, and Oxygen came at a massive premium in the colonies making testing these things rather prohibitive.
The Zaku Flamethrower, though functional was only made in limited runs. In fact the only documented time of it's use in the canon was in Cross Dimension by the Wulfgar unit in Africa.

>>8048956
Is there any way we can use the Outer Heaven itself to leapfrog the Zakus to safety?

>Heat Hawks

Strap them to the front of the Rhino... heat bulldozer...

>>8049506
Hmmm, Im not so sure the Recon Zaku is up for the job this mission, I mean it works best from a distance from the enemy working as a spotter.

But seeing how we are bound to run into ambushes i doubt artillery is a viable option, And that he should use something sturdier instead, Same with hovis if he can pilot a MS insteaf then he sould, After all i doubt the Rhino will be nimble in dense jungle.

Pretty much, Put Hobbes and Hovis in Zakus or other available MSes. They can´t do artillery support if we are running from a enemy.

Everyone else is fine though.

Speaking of the Rhino, is it the Type A ( 2 x arm machine gun, mounted beneath main cannon; 2 x missile pod, mounted above main cannon; 2 x flank machine gun; main cannon)

or the Type B? (2 x arm machine gun, mounted beneath Burstliner cannon; 2 x missile pod, mounted behind Burstliner cannon, 2 x flank machine gun, Burstliner cannon)

>>8049506

David Lister - MS-09 Dom - 90mm MG + reloads + crackers if possible + dom heat saber
Zolomon Ringo - Gouf Custom (Zolomon Ringo Custom) heathawks + crackers + flamethrower (only to be used to escape enemy advance
Elaine "Ruubens" Arronax - MS-09 Dom 90mm MG + reloads + crackers if possible + dom heat saber
Jolyne Brande - MS-09K2 Dom Cannon 90mm MG + reloads + crackers if possible + dom heat saber (can these be mounted on dom cannons?
Hovis Goddard - Rhinoceros Heavy Support MA HEAT/incindiary rounds preferable as muntions go
Calvin Hobart - "Flipper" Recon Zaku on dodai directing Hovis and Jol

What's the current date anyway? The prevailing wind would depend on that.

http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Features/AmazonLAI/amazon_lai3.php

>>8049571

Well, the Rhino's on Dom-esque hoverjets these days, so it should be alright. It's also HUEG enough to muscle through most obstacles.

>>8049506
>David Lister - MS-09 Dom

Okay, you all swap mobile suits, the Fat Uncle Techs begin loading your damaged and ash covered MS back into the transports whilst you suit up.

Once you finish the start up sequence your Operator Anita Fairchilds calls you up.

"Our operational orders are to act as a fire-brigade. Going to areas that are in danger of being bogged down and making a tactical air-assault on the enemy positions to break them up. Once friendlies are on the move, we load back up on the Outer Heaven and head over to the next hotspot. Any questions Lieutenant?"

WELL?

>>8049579
I still think we should take the Dom Bazookas, just in case we need them. If nothing else they are an excellent way to set off traps form a distance and clear out a stand of trees.

>>8049603
>Dom Cannon

Can't find this in Burke's; what does it do?

Also, ask her if she's got plans for tonight.

>>8049603

Lets get moving! Anywhere in immediate trouble?

>>8049603
Can we get an estimate of the number of friendly MS and infantry squads/platoons that still need to reach evac positions?

>>8049579

I worry about Calvin on a Dodai, the Feddy air support might be a bit rough on him.

Thinking about it now, How about we have him meet up with the slower Zaku group, and from there on he can act as a spotter for Hovis?

>>8049622

It's just a Dom with shoulder mounted artillery cannons. Good for medium range support and rapid redeployment.

>>8049603
"Would it be possible for you to load up MS from non-threatened spots and move it to the extraction point while we're fighting?"

>>8049646
Alright. (If I'd binged suptg I would have come back and the thread would be over; thanks.)

I'd probably put a Heat Hawk on it rather than a Dom's saber, since it's lighter, smaller, easier to handle (big concerns with the added weight of the cannons) and that thing shouldn't be getting into close range anyway (so it needs a last resort rather than a melee weapon proper).

>>8049673
It's been using the heat saber fine so far.

>>8049679
Fair enough then.

>>8049603

Ask about the possibility of destroying the nearest known exits from jaburo with the outer heavens heavy weaponry.

It won't stop the feddie pursuit but it will re-route and slow them down (maybe).

Also ask how close the pursuit on ground is estimated to be and what we can do (tip fire lots of it) to slow them down in the forest itself.

Hey. Zanzibars have big guns.
That thing is prepared to give us fire support, right?

>>8049673

If Crossfire is any evidence, the Dom Cannon carries it's heat rod in a different manner than a normal Dom. It's a bit more awkward looking to draw it, but it should be alright.

>>8049702

I like this idea. A Zanzibar is armed as heavily as a space battleship, we should make as much use of that as we can.

>>8049635
>Can we get an estimate of the number of friendly MS and infantry squads/platoons that still need to reach evac positions?

No MS teams have reached the Evac site yet. Overall, the 123rd is forging ahead, whilst the 131st is lagging behind due to it's large proportion of F type Zaku's which are having a hard time getting through the terrain.
In theory Captain Salinca and his Gouf squad could be here already, but he's stayed behind to support squads that get bogged down.

At their current rate, the 123rd will only need 45 minutes to reach the extraction point. 131st will probably need a full hour even if they don't get sidetracked or cut off.

There are currently no signal flares for help, but who knows how long that will change.

You mount up and the Outer Heaven lifts off and begins circling the evac route, supported by two wings of Dopps.

>>8049734
Well okay then. So, just to confirm, are we taking the Dom Bazookas or not? I'm for taking them since if we end up not needing them then it won't matter but if we do need them then it would be good to have them.

>>8049734
Order the Outer Heaven to start leapfrogging the 131st Company towards the extraction point.

>>8049752
They're heavy and awkward though. That's a real concern in jungle confines.

>>8049707

>"Would it be possible for you to load up MS from non-threatened spots and move it to the extraction point while we're fighting?"

Yes, but that would leave your unit unsupported, and also without anyway of reaching new hotspots. However, with our carrying capacity, we might be able to carry a fair bit. I'll suggest it to the Captain, see what he thinks."

>>8049752
If we really need the heavy firepower, we can just bolt some panzerfausts on the legs or hips. The bazookas are just too awkward for now.

>>8049764

"Good, We can make do without fire support, But those who are wounded cannot make due without a transport."

>>8049751

Jaburo MS are in Fat Uncles on their way back to cali, don't worry about those.

I would rather we get droped off near the 131st and have the OH take as many F types as can be stuffed into it (hell 3 more on the roof surfing would be cool) to the landing strip before coming back for us.

We should be able to avoid major combat for the 20-25mins we'll be outside.

>>8049773
>>8049760
Fair enough.

>Well okay then. So, just to confirm, are we taking the Dom Bazookas or not? I'm for taking them since if we end up not needing them then it won't matter but if we do need them then it would be good to have them.

Yes. Don't forget you also have the beam sprayguns fitted onto the chest. They work pretty well as Anti-Infantry guns, and they're good for supressing the odd tank as well.

Anita calls you back up.

"The Captain said he didn't like the idea of leaving the 123rd unsupported, but he thinks he can risk picking up the 131st's second and third squads and ferrying them back to the Gaws whilst you and Captain Salinca forge ahead to rendezvous with the 123rd. The total round trip should take just under 20 minutes."

SOUNDS OKAY?

IS THIS OKAY?

Sounds reasonable to me.

>>8049809
We should be able to do that. Doms are pretty damn fast, after all.
We'll do it even faster if we just charge through and don't worry about being noticed, but that has it's own drawbacks.

GUNDAM FIGHT

>>8049864
That it is, indeed.

>>8049864

A lovesick one i think.

The Outer Heaven pushes forwards and after a short period you get the aerial dismount order. You exit the Zanzibar from the ventral door, behind you, from the MA pod Hovis in his Rhinoceros glides out, heavy load parachutes attatched.

"You okay? Your leg not giving you any problems?"
You ask.

"I'm fine, that hit back in the shipyard did more damage to my suit than me." He assures you.

You reach the drop zone as Anita gives you a last minute update.

"Infantry Support is reporting a company of tanks is moving up for an enemy ambush on the western flanks, I've highlighted the spot on your map, you should be able to airdrop right on top of them."

"Roger that! Calvin do you have visual?"

The Flipper Zaku's sensors flap and rotate.

"Got it! Confirmed 15 units in hull down just off a river bend!"

Using his targetting data, you set your weapons and leap off the Outer Heaven.

>>8049897
>>8049898
Fucking metal.
The GM Striker is my favorite mech in Crossfire, actually.
Because you can do this...

>>8049908

Lets see if when we land Hovis can give them a little Hi Ex surprise.

>>8049908
Guess it's a good thing that we bought those bazookas.

DEATH FROM ABOVE

>>8049908
Well now, a bunch of tanks all grouped together? And we're approaching from above? Let's see how many we can take out with a single shot from the Bazooka on the way down.

>>8049918
Gundam Seed Destiny?

>>8049918

I played through as Zeon first, so I ended up like the Gelgoog a lot, but my favorite MS on the Feddie side was probably the Guncannon (m)

The (m) stands for missile.

>>8049918
Kill Kira "Jesus" Yamato?

I APPROVE

>>8049943
And then we literally land on the survivors.

>>8049966
I actually keep one of those lying around, but my favorite Zeon mech will forever be the Gouf Custom.
NO ZAKUUUUUUUU

>>8050014
Not if we keep it bumped forever.

You descend from a low height, aim downwards with your Bazooka and fire. Ruubens does the same, and Zolomon and Jolyne support you with various vulcans.

Explosions blossom on the ground, pushing trees aside like grass. You see about six tanks attempting to retreat from you're air assault. Their improved elevation allows them to try and return fire, a 150mm shell whizzes past your leg and you return the favour.

Behind you, Hovis pops his chutes and you hit your thrusters to slow your descent. You pour fire onto the enemy position until you land heavily with a thump of Steel/Titanium composite and superheated air.

"Nachtmaren! Report!"

"All fine boss, no sign of hostiles!"

"Calvin?"

"I've got no enemy readings on IR or unidentified sonar contacts."

You have landed, the 121st Company is about a minutes travel south.

YOUR ORDERS?

What's the Minosky rating?

Wewt more kill patches. How many is that now?

Guess we'd better catch up to the 121st NINS.

>>8050028
Move out. Spearhead with Doms and Gouf, with Rhino at the center.

>>8050028
Lets get moving then. No-one left behind!

>>8050046
>Rhino

Wait.
... did we just roll a giant tank
out of a battleship/troopcarrier
onto a bunch more tanks?
I think we did and I think that's EPIC.

>>8050021

Wouldn't that mean that it would autosage faster?

Wouldn't it be better, if you notice it autosaging and sup/tg/ still down to start deleting your extraneous posts?

That's probably what I'll be doing.

>>8050028

Time to go to the 121.

And watch out for the inevitable ambush.

>>8050028
squad kill count?

Not to pester you, but seeing our kill count is like getting a little gold star sticker on your paper when you were in elementary school. It makes me feel good about myself/us

>>8050028
Head for the 121st. Calvin should stay in the air and circle overhead, looking for any more enemy units.

>>8050095
>>8050070

Thought it was the 123rd we're supporting?

>>8050095
Our Flipper flies? Awesome!

>>8050116
Oh yeah. So wait, was that a typo on OPs part or should we be going somewhere else?

>>8050119
Uh, I thought he was on a Dodai. I might be wrong.

>>8050036
>What's the Minosky rating?

78%. Radar is useless, radio is patchy beyond 100m and unusable at 200. A lot of the Minovsky/Seismic Noisemakers are about as well, luckily Calvin has the computer cipher to filter those out. The Fed's are less lucky.

>>8050040
>Wewt more kill patches. How many is that now?

I honestly don't know. My hard drive got wiped and I lost all of your kills from after Panama. I've been trying to update, but I've never managed to get round to it.

A lot. You were up to 100+ tanks after Montreal, I know that.

>Move out. Spearhead with Doms and Gouf, with Rhino at the center.

With the Dom's and Gouf leading the way, you begin forging your way backwards through the escape route that the Infantry have laid out. Luckily you don't encounter any enemy hostiles. You reach a squad o Zaku's, two of them with Magella Top cannons firing backward.
A pilot in a MS-06S greets you.

"We got word you were on your way! You're just in time! We've got a pair of enemy tank companies attempting to overrun our rear, and they're supported by enough mobile flak tanks to keep the Outer Heaven from safely landing! Captain Salinca's already moved up to try and force them back, get up there and help out!"

HOW DO YOU WANT TO DO THIS?
>>8050046

>>8050141

>>8049603
>Calvin Hobart - "Flipper" Recon Zaku

>>8050063
That's a sound idea. I deleted my earlier nonsense posts, and will keep doing so. Whether there's anyone out there giving CPR to the suptg server is what it all hinges on though.

>>8050160
Have your Dom Cannon and Rhino lay down general suppressing fire while you move in from both sides to take out the flak tanks. Those are the important ones; once those are gone, the Outer Heaven can get in and we can easily hold off regular tanks until it loads up and departs.

>>8050160

By being awesome, And alot of posing and attack yelling.

And David,Jolyne and Reubens should "LAUNCH A JJET STREAM ATTACK ON THAT MOBILE SUIT!"

>>8050085
our overall kills are now into the rediculous numbers O_O

.
.
dont happen to have an overall kills list onhand apologised? if not, nomatter

>>8050132
>Oh yeah. So wait, was that a typo on OPs part or should we be going somewhere else?

Um, let me check. Yeah, I see where I may have been a bit vague. Captain Salinca is the CO of the 131st, the idea is that the Outer Heaven picks up his other two squads and you and him cheese it with your superior mobility up to the 123rd. Sorry.

>>8050141
>Uh, I thought he was on a Dodai. I might be wrong.

Flaks still to heavy for a Dodai around here, a Dopp is fast enough to avoid, and a Gaw and Zanzibar have heavier armour, but a Dodai wouldn't last long.

>>8050160
Head out and meet up with Salinca. Keep the Rhino and Dom Cannon back a bit and once Hobbes can give them a firing solution, start raining death upon them.

>>8050160
Have the Rhino and Dom Cannon start shelling the flak tanks, with Hobbes providing targeting data as needed. The priority is to get the Outer Heaven in so we can get our soldiers out.

We, Zol and Ruubens will butcher our way through the tank companies in order to reach any flak tanks that survive the barrage.

>>8050230
>>8050191

Combine these two?
What you said, only with flanking.

>>8050160
it's time to fire up those JETS OF AWESOME, whip out the heat swords and DISMEMBER SOME TANKS

>>8050204
Let me put it to you this way: we may be aces against every single vehicle model the Feddies have deployed Earthside at this point in the war.

>>8050247
Don´t forget YELLING,COURAGE(Does 2x Damage) and HOTBLOOD.

>>8050278
No, Hot Blood does 2x damage.
Play more Super Robot Wars.

Pic related.

>>8050245
Sounds like a plan to me.

>>8050265
Not anymore.... Gundam RX 78-1 was deployed a few hours ago in Jaburo... Against us.

>>8050304
to be fair we weren't ready

>>8050278
Hot Blood does 2x damage, Courage is 3x.

>>8050304
Well, it's not possible to become an ace when there's only one of that vehicle to potentially kill.

But yeah, that fight went about as well as we could have expected.

>>8050289
Arn´t they the same? Pretty sure it is Yuuki, And it translates to both Hotblood and Courage/Valor IIRC.

I always use Multicast in W and stack it with Soul, 4.5X damage.... Not that you need that with Valcazard.

>>8050204
>>8050230
>Have the Rhino and Dom Cannon start shelling the flak tanks, with Hobbes providing targeting data as needed. The priority is to get the Outer Heaven in so we can get our soldiers out.

>We, Zol and Ruubens will butcher our way through the tank companies in order to reach any flak tanks that survive the barrage.

>What you said, only with flanking.

You give the orders and using the overlaid topography maps you begin flanking whilst Calvin uses the Zaku squads targeting data to co-ordinate fire support between them and Jolyne and Hovis.

The three of you dash forwards, you cross rivers using your hoverjets, Zolomon via Heat Rod Grapnel.
You reach the combat zone and jink to the side as a turretless tank flies past.
There are two Zaku's making a fighting retreat up a small bluff, one is missing a leg and an arm. They are supported by 2 Goufs led by a Gouf Custom who are engaging the Tanks in close quarters attempting to use their high speed to negate the lack of cover.
That flying tank probably came from the nearest Gouf finishing a backswing with it's heat-rod.

You engage the enemy.

>>8050337
We took on GUNDAM - UNIT 1 in a Jaburo Assault suit and fought to a standoff. Better than expected, in my book.
>>8050160
Send in the Doms to fuck them up. The other suits can follow up, and sweep the area, but the primary factor right now is speed.

>>8050377

Find Captain Salinca, Request status report, All while still fighting of course.

>>8050367
It's actually 'nekketsu', which literally means 'hot blood'.

Get in contact with one of the Goufs, get it to help the maimed Zaku get out of there - you can afford to lose one aggressor now that your lot has arrived.

LEAVE NO MAN BEHIND.

>>8050389
If we had had our Doms and the Gouf, we may have even been able to win.

>>8050450
... damnit.
I'm going to bed.
Good luck, elegan/tg/entlemen.
SIEG ZEON!

>fought to a standoff

He destoryed 2 suits and disabled 1 more.

We destroyed his hyper bazooka.

He nearly raped us tbh, in Doms/goufs we should have managed a stand off.

>>8050462
But let us not forget that it was piloted by a (Probably fully awakened Newtype) ace, Char might get to fight the more powerful machine, But we get to fight the better pilot... As for now i mean, Amuro isn´t even a pilot yet.

I say we did well.

Counter-assault the tanks. Doms will do a lot better with their hover jets strafing the tanks. This, in turn, will allow the Goufs to keep slicing up the tanks. With two highly mobile threats to deal with, the tanks will be forced to retreat and call for support. It's doubtful support would be able to arrive in time for them, so that should be enough time to set the damaged Zaku as a micro-nuclear booby trap and get the pilot to safety.

The key to safety in this is mobility.

>>8050377
90mms and Heat Sabers for the tanks, IMO. Don't want to risk any friendly fire incidents with the 'zooks. Also, lead with the Beam Spray Guns, preferably aim them at where we are not initially engaging, to suppress, and generally fuck with the targeting of unengaged tanks, allowing our forces to get to them without them taking a flank or fucking with those retreating Zakus.

>>8050729

Yes, definitely this. Those little beam guns are pretty awesome.

And back. Goddamn that Stew was thick, I swear it wasn't so custardlike in consistency yesterday...

Anyway.

You open up your flanking attack with another round of Bazooka fire, the explosions take out an entire squad, collapsing the bluff they were using as a fireposition, falling rocks bury another two tanks. You quickly zip in with your thrusters and dirsupt the enemy lines further with more bazooka shots and Particle Scatter Gunfire. You see Zolomon, a heat-axe in each hand, Gatling Shield momentarily discarded for better balance, in the middle of the enemy formation, a whirling dervish of destruction.

Behind a veil of forest canopy you can see the flames from the massed bombardment from the Rhino, Dom Cannon and the support Zakus.
Evidently they must have suppressed the enemy AA enough, as the Outerheaven makes a strafing run, Battleship grade beam cannons send massive plumes of superheated dust into the air as they rend large glowing scores along the earth, and the enemy formations.

In the face of such overwhelming firepower the tanks retreat. You make the manouver costly, but don't pursue.

The Outer Heaven then moves in to land.

>>8050810
What exactly are the Particle Spray Guns? Like, how dangerous are they vs. infantry, tanks, and MS?

>>8050855
For lack of a better term their kind of like an MS equivalent to a Flashbang, only a gun. Anything without a significant amount of armor is going to have a bad day, anything with said armor is going to have to deal with serious minovsky levels and being blind-as-fuck.

Once landed, the damaged squad limps inside and after a minute or so, the second squad returns along with Hovis and Jol and embarks as well.

Anita gives you an update whilst you use the ships stores to replenish your ammo. (Note: Jolyne and Hovis are using suits that need about 5 to 10 minutes in a hangar to reload, and it can't be done by hand. That said, ammo reserves are still good for both, so it's not a problem yet.)

"Estimated time for drop off and return is 20 minutes, also, we've received word that the reinforcements from the East Asia Base have arrived and will meet up with the 123rd in about 5 minutes. Good Luck Lt., you too Captain."

After the Outer Heaven lifts off, Captain Salinca turns to you.

"Well Lieutenant, let's get to it."

MARCHING ORDER?

>>8050855

Against MS they mostly blind sensors and such, against infantry and tanks though they can cause actual harm. Mostly they're really light, wide area beam guns.

>>8050855

Against infantry, they can permanently blind them. Other than that, they just temporarily blind any poor sap who happens to be looking in their general direction. Gives the user an advantage in combat, but it can lead to dangerous results if the enemy panics.

>>8050810
Move our Doms forward, but short of Jol and Hovis' artillery strikes, and suppress any remaining tanks, as well as any tunnels the tanks could emerge from. Generally use our superior mobility to cover the 123rd's retreat.

>>8050894
Hovis and Jolyne to the middle. Zol on point. We'll cover the rear.

>>8050855

this
>>8050891

Scattering Particle Cannons don't really get dangerous until the Zeta/Double Zeta era.

Where they get FOOKING murderous.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqoQVluRT3g

And yes that is Kamille having a conversation with a dead person. Which is why his Newtype Sensitivity is rated at Twelve.
Out of Ten.

>>8050891
>>8050897
>>8050899
Thanks.

>>8050894
Zol, Salinca and his wingmen take point with us and Ruubens flanking them and slightly behind. The rhino and Jolyne stay in the center of the formation, with Hobbes bringing up the rear; hopefully his advanced sensors can give us warning of any incomming attack from behind.

>>8050990

Well, Kamille was extremely a powerful newtypes, And he did seem to get what being a newtype was all about in the end. Still, Getting mindraped by Colony drops sucks.

>>8050921

The Tanks are retreating back towards Jaburo, you're retreating away from it, those tanks are out of the fight for a while at least.

>>8051039

Personally, I suspect that Kamille was ironically, the only person that Scirroco COULD do that to, due to Kamille's Newtype Sensitivity being so damn high.
If he'd tried to do it with Judau or Haman, they'd have probably fried his brain right back.

>>8051045
That was before I saw your latest plot-post. My b.

Jol, Hovis, 123rd's Gouf's in the center. David, Elaine, and Zol acting as flankers. Calvin is on perma-recon, low altitude on his Dodai. (If I'm just a retard and he's not on a Dodai, have him behind the centerline, preferably with Jol next to or behind him) We need him to tell us about any ambushes in the making.

>>8051009
Sounds reasonable.

Our priority is to get up to the 123rd's position as fast as possible.

>Zol, Salinca and his wingmen take point with us and Ruubens flanking them and slightly behind. The rhino and Jolyne stay in the center of the formation, with Hobbes bringing up the rear; hopefully his advanced sensors can give us warning of any incomming attack from behind.

Okay, you give the orders, with Calvin heading up the rear. You travel for about five minutes when you meet up with a squad of five Infantry riding Wappa's.

"Good thing we found you. We've been scouting ahead, and we think that a tank company has currently dug in right along the retreat path. From the looks of this unit you could probably barrel right through them, but If I've learned anything today: In Jaburo, where's theres one tank, there's more right round the corner. The only other route is across a clearing, marked as a minefield, and we don't have any dedicated Anti-Mine equipment here, what do you think sir?"

YOUR ORDERS?

>>8051150
Are mines heat-sensitive? Because if we can use the flamethrower to clear out the field, then we can go that way. They'll never expect it.

If that won't work, then I guess we'll have to try attacking the entrenched tanks.

>>8051150
see if hobbs can pinpoint their location so hovis and jayne can artillery spam them to death

the rest of the squad take up covering positions to guard against a counterattack

>>8051150
Would shelling the clearing with high explosives detonate the minefield?

Alternatively, could we use sonar to find the mines quickly?

>>8051150
blast a path through the minefield....

Wait. I just had another thought.

If we run our Doms across the clearing at maximum speed, would we be able to clear the blast radius of the mines we're setting off? Because I doubt the mines were built with something with the Dom's ground speed in mind.

>>8051244

Or...We can hover over them.

>>8051209
I was about to suggest shelling the mines, but that lets the entire enemy force know where we're going. Have Calvin pinpoint the enemy and we'll shell the fuck out of them, and move up quickly, but cautiously, not overcommitting in the case of more tanks.If there are more tanks, 'zook them. Don't shell them if they're not entrenched, to conserve ammo. Also, Doms flank any approaching tank groups, and hit them as the Gouf's move in, covering their approach.

Now I'm off to take a midterm. Don't get anyone killed while I'm gone.

>>8051244
Shelling seems like it'd be safer. Still, detonating an entire minefield would be a great way to warn all those tanks we're coming for them.

>>8051260
We want to set them off so that our slower vehicles (the Rhino, for example) can then run along the path we cleared.

>>8051281

Or those 2 can stay behind and provide fire support from the other side of the mine field. That way the mines will protect them.

>>8051266

I like this idea. Clearing the mines would probably work, but the tanks would still be nearby and I'd rather not get attacked from the rear by a ton of tanks. Going through the tanks this way seem like it wouldn't be much riskier than taking out the mines anyways.

>>8051324
No, see, everyone BUT the Doms will have to stay. Including Zol and the other three Goufs, and Calvin.

>>8051361
>>8051266
This is why I suggest detonating them with the flamethrower if we can. It won't be as loud as artillery shelling, and with luck the Feddies will just think that their minefield has taken out a bunch of our MS.

>>8051361
They aren't going to be expecting us to go through the minefield at high speed.

And from how I read it, the tanks aren't being shielded by the minefield; it's that there are two viable and separate routes to the extraction point, one of which has the minefield and one of which has the tanks.

>>8051409
That's how I read it as well.

>>8051409
that is how I read it as well

walk an artillery barrage across the minefield and get everyone moving.

We're operating against the clock here, remember. Minutes we waste dicking around with enemy tanks, strategizing, and being all tatical'n'shit are going to bite us in the ass when feddie air shows up.

get it done and get out, that's the name of the game.

>>8051470
The more I think about, the more I think that the top-speed Dom run would be the best way to deal with this minefield. Our ground pressure should set them off, but they'll be fused for MS moving at barely half our speed. We should be clear of each explosion in time.

>>8051195
>Are mines heat-sensitive? Because if we can use the flamethrower to clear out the field, then we can go that way. They'll never expect it.

Unknown, previous encounters show a prevelance of pressure sensitive triggers.

>Alternatively, could we use sonar to find the mines quickly?

Actually that would work pretty well.

General concensus is to take them out with shooting.

You order Calvin to do an active sonar pulse to try and detect the mines. Luckily with all of the noisemakers about, this goes undetected.

Coordinating with Salinca's squad they use their finger gatlings to clear a path with the mines. With all of the explosions and AA fire, hopefully this goes undected as well.

You carefully dash over the cleared path and are swiftly on your way.

>>8051501
nice, way to get shit done.
props to whoever came up with the sonar idea

>>8051520

Yeah, that did turn out to be a good one.

>>8051501

Quick, Wonder newtype powers activate... It worked the last time we dealt with mines.

>>8051501

Oh hey, here's a question. How are our supporting units faring in this? We seem to have the MS situation under control at the moment, but how about the other vehicles that came with us? I recall that we had some mech infantry with us, though I could be wrong. I don't recall if we had any tanks though.

>>8051618
We had infantry on Wappas, but no tanks. We also had some helicopter gunships, iirc.

>>8051501
Awesome. Onwards!

After bypassing the tanks you quickly make your way over the trees and across the rivers. With your high speed units you make good time. About 20 minutes later you see a signal flare ahead of you, as well as explosions.

You dash forwards to meet up with the belaguered friendly forces when a giant blue lance of light appears out from overhead, and meets the ground with a great mushroom cloud. You see the round shape zoom overhead, seemingly immune to the effects of gravity, it avoids fire with strange and impossible turns and angles. Atop of this a shape covered in a camo shroud.

It must be attatched, no way someone could hang on after that sort of flying.

Your orders?

>>8051786
Five Rounds Rapid

>>8051786
Make for cover. Try to find thick stands of tall trees to hide in. Give orders to NOT engage. Make sure they know who this is. He may have been stupid enough to take off his camo cloak in the tunnel and thereby loose any chance of a sneak attack, but he's got skill to make up for it.

>>8051786
Get everyone else out, Nachtmaren will hold him off until they're clear.

Aim for the thing he's riding on first.

>>8051786
Huh. This is new.

Order everyone to scatter and head for cover if they can find it. Jolyne and Hovis light up the sky. Have Calvin try and get a bead on it. It's worth getting data on this thing too.

>>8051786

Friend or foe?

Big round fast flying thing is either a Ball or the Aspalus.

And considering the whole Giant beam im guessing it is the Aspalus, But we better confirm if it is Zeon or not first.

>>8051786
Make sure to get footage of him firing the beam rifle! We need to make sure Char is aware of the threat it poses!

>>8051795

It's not proclaiming EXTERMINATE, EXTERMINATE so I don't think you need to resort to that just yet.

>>8051838
>Atop of this a shape covered in a camo shroud.

I'm guessing a feddie version of a Dodai with the Wyatt Bandit riding it.

>>8051854
So wait, I think it's pretty clear that the Bandit is riding whatever that thing is, but what is it? Can we get a picture?

>>8051786

Check for confirmation on who it is. I believe we were expecting reinforcements from the East Asia base some time around now. Also, what did it shoot at? As far as I know we only have us, the Outer Heaven, the engineering crews and the Gaws, and the 121st hanging around here.

>>8051833
Okay, belay this until we know what it is.

Wow, You know, This assault is yielding ALOT of data on Feddie units, I mean, First the GMs, Then the Gundam and now this Mysterios faxst round thing that fires giant beams. I guess Christmas cam early for the Feddies.

>>8051858
It's possible they managed to build a G-Fighter early.

>>8051919

Well, this IS Jaburo, the heart of their defense. If they're gonna bring out all their toys, this would be the time and the place.

>>8051919
At the same time, we're getting it all on tape, us and every other MS that survives, which means when we meet these things in the field we won't be caught with our pants down, as it were.

>But we better confirm if it is Zeon or not first.

The camo cloak atop of the vehicle is abruptly cast aside, to reveal another Gouf Custom.

Christ at this point you're pretty sure every B-3 in the Zeon military is here at Jaburo.

He leaps off the moving vehicle and dives to the ground below.

You swiftly move the catch up, your see the air vehicle swing by to attack again with it's Particle Cannon as you go and you leap out into the middle of a full pitched battle.

Several Zaku's are already wrecked, it looks like half a Tank battalion has managed to get together and attack the 123rd. Friendly forces have found defensive positions in a dry riverbed, but they're taking a pounding. The battle line extends to at least 800 meters of close range slugging. You see two Zaku Cannons forced to fire their 180mm support backpack guns level, a third slumped on the floor missing it's head. (Not a fatal shot, but the lack of primary sensors would seriously impair most peoples gunnery.)

YOUR ORDERS?

>>8051971
Gouf Custom on top of an Apsalus? Gentlemen, I think we found Mr. Pacard.

>>8051971

I KNEW IT. Also we need to talk to Norris after the battle.

Also, organize defensive perimeter.

Bazooka spam

>>8051971
not sure if this is possible, but could we slave that zaku cannon that's missing it's head to jolyne?

In other words, have hobbes feed targeting data to jolyne, and have the zaku cannon shoot at the same thing her zaku shoots at. Feed it firing coordinates and have it fire blindly, and use jolyne and hobbes as a "spotter".

may not be super accurate, but at least that suit will be back in the fight.

>>8051971
Holy crap, is that Norris Packard? Awesome! About time we caught a break.

So we're dealing with lots of tanks? Sounds like a job for heavy artillery and Dom Bazookas. Jolyne and Hovis start firing from a distance with Hobbes giving them sensor data while us and Ruubens make use of those zooks. And Zol? He does what he does best. Carve into them with Heat Hawks.

>>8052056
And think of all those who wanted to shoot him down.

>>8052156
I our defense, we thought he was someone else. If we'd gotten a picture of the device he was riding, I'm sure we would have acted differently.

>>8052156
Honestly I was expecting him earlier, once we were told we would be getting something from Asia.

I just didn't expect Aina to damn near blow us to bits on entry.

>>8052035
>not sure if this is possible, but could we slave that zaku cannon that's missing it's head to jolyne?

Not in the middle of a battle.

>So we're dealing with lots of tanks? Sounds like a job for heavy artillery and Dom Bazookas. Jolyne and Hovis start firing from a distance with Hobbes giving them sensor data while us and Ruubens make use of those zooks. And Zol? He does what he does best. Carve into them with Heat Hawks.

You order Jolyne and Hovis to provide firesupport whilst you and Salinca's squad make a blitzkrieg attack against the enemy lines.
The shells and missiles begin to tear holes in the enemy line, and you start disrupting enemy formations with your heavy bazooka, the blasts sending whole tanks flying, the Goufs dive in, straight into enemy lines.

4 Close Combat model Gouf's begin causing abosolute havok. The confusion in the enemy lines allows the 123rd to mount a counter attack, and what could have been a prolonged fight that could have bogged friendly forces down is quickly turned into a decisive victory.

You meet up with Captain Montagu in his MS-06S.

"Thanks for the save you guys! Things were beginning to look bad for a minute there. Luckily those experimental reinforcements took out the Big Tray that was supporting those tanks!"

"What's you Company status?" Salinca asks.

"We took a mauling in the opening exchanges. four suits badly damaged, three lost outright. Were about below half strength, but we can make it back."

The Outer Heaven is circling overhead, ready to make another evacuation.

"Liuetenant! We're coming in to land, we can pick up another 8 Mobile Suits to ferry back to Evac Zone if you wish!"

Norris Packard appears from the Jungle covered in soot and hydraulic fluid, but otherwise unharmed. Salinca's squad is slightly more battered, one is out of Vulcan ammo and the other has lost it's sheild. All of Salinca's Goufs have holes and dents.

YOUR ORDERS?

>>8052237
Wait, how many suits are there in the squad/company that we just saved? I need to know so I can figure out if there's room to send Salinca and his squadmates back with them. And how many more squads/companies are still out there? And as for the destroyed suits, were they set to self destruct? because the last thing we need is to give the feddies even MORE info on our MS.

Load up the suits that are damaged but repairable with living pilots.

Those that are lost need to be destroyed completely.

>>8052303

Currently 123rd has 6 suits, 4 badly damaged. Salinca is 3 suits. The most the Outer Heaven can carry is 8.

>>8052237
Load up the four badly damaged suits and whatever F types they have left, anything that would slow the rest of the unit down. The Goufs can probably still make it back, with our escort.

>>8052350
Can we suggest that all but Salinca be loaded up and brought back for evac while Nactmaren Unit and Salinca look for any more troops?

>>8052237
What's our timeframe look like?

Also, let's see if we can have that experimental unit (yes, I know what it is) come down enough that we can get some suits onto its back.

>>8052359
This.

>>8052318

This, we also need to load up the wounded, But im guessing we should be able to fit in all people, Right?

I'm advocating the use of Dopp support, if it can be requisitioned. We can't be forced to choose who goes and who stays. Get the four badly damaged suits onto the Outer Heaven, and then run a full retreat with the remaining suits. They're more than capable of making it back to base, not to mention we're probably going to need them for defending that strip. I highly doubt that those Gaws are going to get off the ground without a firefight being involved. The more suits we have available, the more firepower with which to weaken the pursuing forces which I can almost guarantee are one their way.

>>8052386

Thirty Five minutes have passed since the operation began. You have about 40-45 minutes before enemy airforces arrive.
Hell, you can probably see them in the distance by now.
Not that I reccomend it, it'd just be depressing.

>Also, let's see if we can have that experimental unit (yes, I know what it is) come down enough that we can get some suits onto its back.

You ask Norris about the experimental unit carrying some units back.

"I doubt he'd go for it, I basically had to hitch a ride at the last minute just for him to let me do. Also, it's not something that a damaged suit can safely do. I reccomend loading the badly damaged and wounded onto the Cruiser, then having it take out the abandoned wrecks with it's beam cannons. We then hoof it back, wer'e pretty close now, it should just be another 20 minutes along preset evacuation route."

YOUR ORDERS?

>>8052435

Suits are replaceable, so we can prioritize away some of them, But pilots and soldiers are not and as such we should put priority on getting as many of them evacuated first.

>>8052454
Like we're not going to do what Norris says

>>8052454
Good idea. Let's do this.

>>8052454
Follow Noris' suggestion to the letter. It pretty much describes what our general plan was anyway. Nightmare and the best-condition Goufs will just have to hoof it.

>>8052454


See >>8052461

Wounded and people get priority over MSes, Destroy what we can´t load... Pretty much just listen to Norris, He got more experience after all.

>>8052454
Alright, load up all of the suits who can still move and be repaired, destroy those that we have to leave behind. There are 6 suits still in the 123rd, right? The company we just rescued? And Salinca has his two Gouf wingmen. That makes nine. So, if we load up everyone but Salinca, they can fit. Then we, Salinca and Norris can get back by foot. After the Outer Heaven destroys any suits we need to leave behind.

>>8052454
You heard the man, let's load up, blow up, and move out.

>>8052461

I can see your point, but I'm gonna agree with Norris here now. Functional suits hoof it.

>>8052454
Goddamn that midterm forever for making me miss the appearance of Aina and Norris Packard.

Load the damaged onto the Outer Heaven, have the Apsalus screen its approach. Have Calvin be ready to coordinate counter-battery fire from Jol and Hovis if needed. Use our Doms to cover the landing area, and flush out any ambushers.

>>8052513

Eh, I should clarify, I meant Mses that wouldn´t be able to make it back to base should be destroyed, Like if one is missing its legs and such.

>>8052495

Under this plan, no suits would be left behind, only wrecks. So that's fine. You talk to Salinca and he agrees with the plan, his wingmen argue for a minute but he pulls rank on them and they agree, loading up as well.
The Wappa Infantry are also loading up at this point and Anita tells you that a wing of Dopps have been assigned to your unit as fire support.

"Well Gentlemen. Let's have ourselves a pleasant march upcountry." He states as the Outer Heaven takes off.

Norris Packard laughs.

"Yes. Shall we?"

You resume on your journey.

>>8052617
>pleasant march

Inb4 Ambush.

>>8052617
Alright. Dom(s) as screener/flanker again. Gouf's make up the centerline. Advance quickly, but cautiously. Observe everything, admire nothing. Also, did we load up Calvin? If not, keep him on active sensor sweeps.

>>8052631
We have Hobbes and the Flipper. We'll hopefully be able to notice any ambush or trap before they are sprung.

>>8052617
Feed everyone video of the suits we encountered in Jaburo. Couple the footage of the Gundam with a warning to not engage if at all possible.

>>8052671
I was just thinking about that. We should avoid as many tunnels as possible, as a bunch of GMs, Gundam (G)s or the Unit 1 itself popping out could seriously ruin our day.

Oh, Oh! I have an idea, GO up close to Norris so we can talk to him... And trade war stories, That is always fun.

>>8052643
>>8052666

No space to load anyone from Nachtmaren up.

Keeping the Doms flanking with the Gouf Customs in the middle you cautiously but quickly maky your way across the evac route. A couple of times a few stray fin-fans try to attack you, but you deal with those easily.

From the looks of things you've deflected or taken out the nearest enemy tank units. For once it looks like things might actually be going somewhat to plan.

There, I think I quibbled enough not to jinx it.

You make the evac site a little earlier than expect, leaving you with 20 minutes left to get the hell out of dodge.

Some Gaw's are already circling in the air, whilst others are still loading, two of the Fat Uncles are still here, as are their Zaku Tanks.

The Outer Heaven looks like they've just finished unloadings. You also think you can see that Experimental Unit zipping about overhead.

>>8052733
Let's wait till after we've all gotten back in one piece before we abuse our comm discipline. Just because we're at an absurd minivosky density doesn't mean we should take chances.

>>8052769
Suddenly: Gundams. Everywhere.

>>8052769

Did we ever get that Minifridge installed? I mean this would be a perfect time for a drink.

D-Dang you people are quick. 1 vote for this thread already and I only archived it 45 seconds ago.

>>8052790

FFFFFFFFF

Finally I get to use this. I've been waiting for it.

Norris Dissapproves -5

>>8052812

I'm not sure. Technically you're in a new cockpit, who knows how Zimmad arrange things in the cockpit that are different from Zeonic. (I'm thinking no fridge, but more comfortable seating.)

Incidentially, are we autosaging yet?

>>8052769
Have the Doms screen the loading of our forces, and have Calving directly patch in with the Heaven, the airborne Gaws and the Experimental Unit, ready to relay coordinates at a moments notice. If anything tries to engage, lead with the 'zook, followup with precision 90mm fire. Ensure that the entirety of 131st and 123rd are aboard before we begin boarding the Outer Heaven. Doms aboard last. Prioritize rearming the Rhino and K2 once we're aboard.

I believe we are into Autosage now. We're on page 3 at the moment.

>>8052827
Meh, happy coincidence on my part. I was checking to see if sup/tg/ was taking uploads yet, and saw that it'd been archived.

>>8052828
So glad to provide you with the opportunity.

>>8052847

I think so, Also last thread got to like 20+ in a day.

So not only have you saved the day for Zeon, but you kept the thread alive long enough for suptg to recover and archive it. Well done, soldiers!

>>8052868

Last thread also had us going ITS A GUNDAM whilst in Jaburo in Mecha that (due to our paint scheme) looked a load of Mexican Skeleton Puppets.

>>8052907
>FUCKAWESOME Mexican Skeleton Puppets

ftfy

>>8052879

Anyway, whilst Salinca and Norris go find Gaw's to load up on your squad keeps a lookout whilst all of the Gaw's get in the air. Calvin's on Recon duty.

Whilst over to the south east, you see the oncoming horde of enemy air power.

It looks like this incidentially.

>>8052977
Yeah, I think we want to be leaving ahead of that.

>>8052977
That's a lot of planes.

>>8052977
"Boys...it's Duck Huntin' Season!"

>>8052977
Oh thank god, it's just a swarm of locusts. We should be safe in our suits.

Approx. time til evac is complete? Approx. time until enemy air forces arrive?

>>8052977

Well,It could been worse... I mean we could have been piloting Methuss... Wait, Piloting Methuss would been a good thing after all MSes tend to not be so stellar against aircraft and Methuss can trasform into a Aircraft, Still we are not piloting Methuss, So i hope we can get away safely.

>>8052977

I believe that is actually a giant sign that says "GTFO."

We should follow its advice.

Shoot all the bazooka shells we have in their general clumpy direction. Advise the Outer Heaven to shoot it's fucking lasers.

LETS GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE

>>8053037
The Methuss also has all the structural integrity of a bundle of sticks. Give me the Gaplant any day.

>>8053022

Those are planes.

Friendly Forces take 10 minutes to finish loading up, and seeing the onrushing forces, you waste no time in following suit.

"HURRY IT UP LISTER! THE SOONER WE GET OUT OF JABURO'S FLACK ENVELOPE THE SOONER WE CAN START PUTTING ZAKU'S ON DODAIS!" Captain Fontain howls at you. You follow his advice and hastily scramble into the ship.

You don't even have time to secure your Mobile Suit before the thrust from the Outer Heaven taking off nearly knocks you down.
"Hold tight boss! We're booking it!" Zolomon helpfully supplies.

Eventually however the cruiser levels out and you're able to secure your Dom to it's moorings.

"Well, that wasn't so hard" You hear someone from a nearby Gaw comment over the intercom.

"What are you? Stupid? THAT was the easy part." You hear Captain Montagu reply.

>It could been worse... I mean we could have been piloting Methuss

You have never gone up against AEUG in GG have you?

If the methus was mass produced the titans would have been finished in no time.

>>8053095
I know. I was endeavoring to make a joke. Guess it didn't work out.

Inquire as to what the difficult part will be.

>>8053095

That sounds... ominous,

I'm assuming we're going to have to fight off the Feddie planes now in order to secure our escape. Any chance we have our Zaku's onboard the Outer Heaven? If so, we should get a head start on suiting up for when we can get on Dodais

>>8053095
Prioritize reloading the K2, with Flack Rounds if at all possible. The Rhino is mostly useless at this point, so focus on readying all MS that are Dodai capable for air to air combat.

>>8053095

Also, unless we're close to being done we should probably start a new thread. This on is falling towards page 10 pretty quickly.

>>8053074

Eh, I seeing how the Methuss was probably never supposed to be in combat to begin with(Seeing how it was a testbed for Transformable MSes and was the first transformable MS... Officially... Damn you GP-00.) I say it did pretty well, But yes, it was pretty much the Boss Borot of Gundam, No matter how much it gets shot down it will have been repaired a day later, At pretty much no cost. Still, I like it. The fact that its improved versions were on the battlefield before it didn´t really help it either, Still the point is... I wish we had a transformable MS now, Or atleast something that could fly.

>>8053159

We have Dodai's, that good enough for now. But yeah, an Assimar or two wouldn't go amiss right now.

>>8053074

>>8053105
>If the methus was mass produced the titans would have been finished in no time.

Eh. It's not THAT bad. Menthusses are Glass Cannons, lot's of punch but they can't really take it.

Now, if they're supported by Rick Doms, the Volvo of Zeta Mobile Suits, THEN you have a bit of a problem. But nothing Jerid or Monsha in a FA-Hazel or Marasai can't handle.

If however, you see A CHAR piloting one of these? RUN RUN RUN COWARD.

Seriously, the only way to take out Quattro in a Hyaku-Shiki Kai is to let him expend all of his fuel and ammo on grunts first. There is NO other way.

Realization! Can we ask the Apsalus to fite Hueg Beam at the swarm before it retreats? The seem to be in a tight formation, So it would do massive damage to them.

>>8053250
Ideally it just keeps doing this.

And if the swarm tries to break up, it should use its beam to force them back into a concentrated ball that we can chop apart with gunfire.

>>8053250
Out of range. Let's just wait for the inevitable chase, when Aina can remove an entire Squadron of Saberfish with a single blast.

>>8053250

Not a bad idea. It would certainly make them less likely to charge in en mass.

>>8053238

Surely you mean Rick Dias rather than Rick Dom, right?

>>8053280

Norris said 'he' when he talked about the pilot. It could very well be Ghinias, or someone else entirely, piloting the Apsalus.

>>8053238
Jesus fuck I just realized something.

WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO THE ANGLER CORPS?

>>8053297
They probably retreated the same way they arrived.

>>8053297

I imagine they're fine. The Feddie naval power is broken, so they probably just submerged and left.

You order guns to be reloaded with Flak Shells whilst you try to put as much distance between you and Jaburo before the pursuing planes can catch up with you.

Around twenty minutes later, Both Zolomon and Calvin exit the hangar to mount up on Dodai's, presumeably the other AA capable Mobile Suits in the force are doing the same.

Well, you've escaped Jaburo, now you just have to escape South America.

TO BE CONTINUED.

[NOTE: Normally I wouldn't end this soon, but this is such a good place to stop for tonight, I think we will.]

>>8053238
and if supported by Rick Rolls than it's just plain hopeless.

>>8053354
This is acceptable to me. Good thread, all. See you tomorrow.

>>8053324
>>8053312

This. The attack took place MILES away from the coast, so the Angler Team never rendezvoused with you. Instead they just hit Jaburo's Geothermal plants and booked it before they could get counter attacked. It's probably what's stopping Jaburo from throwing unguided missiles at you right now.

>>8053354
Excellent, see you tomorrow.

>>8053382

Well, that's good at least. I was sort of dreading seeing if Jaburo had any heavy fixed emplacments. It wouldn't be surprising, since Zeon has been using MS since the beginning of the war.

Missed it again, damn my timezone.

>>8053354
Good game, tomorrow should be exciting.

Let's hope our Newtype ability will do something for us, because we can use all the help we can get.

>>8053357
>>8053285
>Surely you mean Rick Dias rather than Rick Dom, right?

Oops. Right on. Bugger me if the Titans and AEUG scenarios aren't the hardest, You;ve got to deal with something like 4 or five different opponents popping up just as you've nearly finished off the last one in a row.

Most of them nabbing land areas like africa without having to fight them as well.

Also, in the list of top ten things you don't want to see as a Titan's player, Haman in a Quebely is one of them. Certainly not whilst the best you've got to stop her are unpiloted Xeku Eins.

CURSE YOU PAPTIMUS SCIRROCO FOR STEALING ALL OF MY NEWTYPE WOMEN!

>>8053438

Yeah, he is a bit of a dick that way. Also, how do Funnel/Bit armed units work in GG? I've always sort of wondered.

So, how well did this go compared to canon?

>>8053460

Very well. It happened early, and we weren't killed by Amuro.

>>8053457

they activate once your character has levelled up enough to gane a NT Level. NT level also helps their effectiveness.

A maxed out Lalah Sune in the Elmeth can and has destroyed entire fleets of enemy ships and mobile suits all by herself.

I'm not talking OYW stuff either here, we were talking 0083 pattern Musais and Gelgoog Marines backed up by Galbady Alphas here.

>>8053517

Dang, I do like that. I've been meaning to try a GG game for awhile, but I haven't really got around to it, due to the language issue. I sort of hold out hope there'll at least be a fan translation eventually.

>>8053460

There WAS a failed attack on Jaburo in this month. Presumably without the drill units, the MS failed to penetrate Jaburo's defences and retreated. In that respect, Operation Hunter has probably sustained heavier losses this time around for the Zeons (with more losses most likely to come) however, so have the feddies, and losses like Mobile Suits CAN be replaced, the experienced pilots will be a bit of a blow, but aside from Norris and us, we wouldn't lose any real aces in this mission.
The feddies however, have suffered heavy damage to their Shipbuilding capacity, which is NOT something they can easily repair or replace.

>>8053559
Not to mention that the Feddies also just lost their first batch of MS pilots. If we were really lucky, they were test pilots for the GM line.

>>8053535

It's not that hard just to learn how the game works, and then find a events tree for your faction.

I'd put the difficulty curve below that of Dwarf Fortress to be honest.
This is taking the language into account.

>>8053559
And again, let's not forget that we now have indisputable evidence that the Federation are producing Mobile Suits. This will hopefully lead to anti-MS tactics being included in the training programs for new recruits, and well as additional anti-MS weapon development.

>>8053633

I don't think you've been having problems convincing the higher up about Anti-MS tactics since you demonstrated your flare for them back in Pezun. You've already got Dozle and Garma backing you, that leaves two Zabi's left.

>>8053605

Yeah, that's what I've heard in general (well, except for the comparison to Dwarf Fortress) and that's why it's still on my to-do list. I just haven't gotten around to it yet, due to laziness.

>>8053650
Well, Gihren isn't going to be convinced of anything that might take funds and manpower away from his Overcompensation Projects. But Kycillia should hopefully be amenable to reason.

I don't expect we'll be seeing much more of her until we all fully awaken as Newtypes, though.

>>8053650
Well yeah, but the rest of my statement still stands; with this we know that now is the time to start making anti-MS tactics part of basic training, and hopefully we'll have some specialized anti-MS weapons in the R&D department.

>>8053662

Get it for the PSP, do turns in between other things. It's what I do. The bonus scenarios you get after completing certain campaigns are a lot simpler than the full campaigns. It's always you in 3 way campaign with a special event happening at Turn 50. If you have an original Thread of the Axis save then all of those get unlocked from the beginning, if you dont then you have to unlock them, which sort of sucks as they aren't as much fun as the proper campaigns. They do however make PERFECT starter campaigns for people who just need to get a hang on the rules, unfortunately.

>>8053704
I doubt Kycilia would take much convincing. Given her creation of the Chimera Corps and backing of the Flanagan Institute, she seems to favor special operations projects. The fact that we're a spec ops unit directly under her little brother's command would probably help.

>>8053762

Hmm, I'd planned to emulate a PS2 one, but that's not a half bad idea. I did recently pick up a PSP.

>>8053807

Just remember, none of the newer GG games comewith the FMV Videos that made the PS1 version so good. Which is a damn shame.

>>8053846

Yeah, I do recall reading that on /m/ at one point. It is a damn shame, but what can you do? The newer games seem so much better in every other way.
