We are discussing the possible capture and obliteration of Enigma Machine. It looks doable. I will try to post some chat logs later, the turnchat seems to be over now. Great turn

When you finish up the turn Maniac, don't forget to move the B-6 on the Gaian border to Fort Sol so that it can participate in the operation.

Good attack/infiltration guys. One question though. Why did we not want to take over the base again? Is it because we don't want it to be infiltrated next turn or would it be too aggressive an action for a "proactive defense"?

We could have taken it over this turn, but it would have risked the lives of our brave B-6 crew, forcing us to attack with noodles against their fighters to save MP:s on our rovers. However, we will capture it next turn, giving us free entrance to the rest of the Angel homeland. I suspect that obliterating the base would be a good move at this stage for the Angels, they will be hard pressed to save their capital if we are allowed to capture Pact Mart.

You can read the logs from this evening here. We are mostly planning evil stuff. Large parts of it is missing but Maniac has some logs too I think, PM them to me and I'll see if I can glue them together.

I thought about this, and I now think the Angels can defend themselves from our very fast destruction of Enigma Machine. All they need to do is to place any combat unit in Mart Pact. We will need to take out that sentry, thus reducing the base to size 1, and so we cannot use Mart Pact as a harbor for our trannie or an airbase for our copter. We can still reach Enigma Machine with our elite rovers, but they will have no MP:s left to obliterate it

That would already deal them a terrible blow.

First, massive drone riots the turn later, and no energy production (no labs, no credits, no production, meaning all their hurrying would wait if I'm not mistaken). If they foresaw it, and put doctors in the cities hurrying, whatever: the units won't have the morale bonus of the Cyborg Factory, ha ha!
We should be able to capture Kahlua Probing too.

Then, someone should check how many credits it would take the Angels to recapture Enigma. It would be huge, I'm sure.
As their reserves would be depleted by hurrying this turn, and can't be replenished due to drone riots next turn, we'll just have to check whether Morgan + Angels have enough money to lend to allow a mind-control.
If No, then we change the rover into plasma-AAA. That would be 3+100%+100%(defence perimeter)+Elite! Enough to deter a few air attacks!

In case Snoddasmannen tells me it would be hideously expensive, well, the thing to do (and to do anyway I'd say) is to scrap and recycle the network nodes at Kahlua and Enigma. Quick money, + money gained by entering the base.
And if the Angels retake the bases, they still need to painfully rebuild a network node.
Bonus: it also hampers their research rate. With luck, Zak turns to PSA and we instabuild HSA. Every turn counts in this race.

After scrapping the nodes, we also change almost all citizens to engineers (lab bonus). To starve the population and pop-loss it if we're unsure we can keep the cities.

Even without obliterating, it seems well worth to put a rover in Enigma.
But we'll see that at the opening of next turn.

Allowing infiltration is a bad idea in any case. Can we do serious damage without risking it? It seems we can, no?

And thus snatching the HSA (hopefully)!

We will see at the turn's opening.
If we can take it and it's clear it'll prevent them to undertake any meaningful defence, then it's worth.

Some Japanese admiral said something along: "Surprise is good, unless it comes at the expense of effectiveness!"

Great turn, guys - sorry I wasn't available to participate, contrary to what I thought (I misread the Morgan post time forgetting that I hadn't reset my laptop time to 8 hours earlier!!)

For the record, I'm in favour of selling AMA to Yang - we need our techs to be distributed to try and get Zak or Yang to be the tech leader - that reduces our research costs

At what point now do we cash in that AA at Argos??

Should be this turn, I think.
Either Morgan trades Bio-Eng now or they never won't.
And we'll get which tech Zak changes to.

So we'll have two chances to get PSA!

I'd say no as those SPs aren't so game-deciding as for example the PTS or HSA. But that's just my personal opinion of course.

But, honestly, if they didn't want to trade for Planetary Economics (so advantageous for them), I don't think they'll accept for AMA...

Only if we can do it 100%. Just to get a glimpse of their capital, no. But hey, I command only the navy for a reason.

First the morgans, now the Angles, Gaia's landing must be already fortifying their defences. Either way I'd say yes to a defensible strategy in taking the enigma and keeping it (or obliterating like we did to morgans). Either way I forsee some great RP moments for our creative writers if we were to obliterate the Angles Captial.

Okay, it looks like we could still rush the HSA in Olympus Academy next turn. We'd have to cash all of the crawlers in a 1 square radius, cash that ogre in Sparta Command, and perhaps rush the rest.

Another thing to consider: even if the Angels can't build the HSA right away, they could gift PSA or trade it to someone else who could build it. I suggest that we do everything in our power to snag the HSA next turn. That's even more pivotal than taking out Enigma Machine, it seems to me.

Edit: Also, if we get the PSA from Zak, Zak could stupidly also give it away to someone else.

Yep indeed. (Though he's pacted with the Hive.)

But anyway, the Angels will get PSA themselves in a year, so for this tech it doesn't form an issue.
