2157 to Flubber.
Flubber, the Peacekeepers have erected a memorial in UN Headquarters to honor the brave Apache crew who were destroyed trying to defend our lands.
Tau, it is strange. You know, the more that I think about it, I don't know if I have ever tried to take a damaged probe to a monolith before. I know if the probe is at full strength, when it gets to a monolith, I get the "perhaps we should send a military unit to investigate" message, but maybe it's because it was 50% damaged. Oh, and it was not armored, just a standard probe team.

The PTS is only being built by the UNI and at the moment they are 18 turns away
Decent turn . . . I stole superconductor and prog psych and continued preparations for an assault on the Hive in 2165 or so. I should complete the CBA next turn and then will switch to Fundy/Planned and leave wealth (might even go knowledge for the small efficiency boost)-- With the trained abilility I should have off the shelf elite air units while ground units will get a monolith visit. I scouted out a decent site for a seabase and am prepping a couple of transports to go with a chopper and drop force. . . but I am considering dropping a CP on that little island off the Hives coast so I can use drop troops more effectively. I think the Hive is in for a suprise. They still have no probes and their defenses are generally a single 1-3p-1 troop.
Any techs you folks need just holler-- you will note that I have almost abandoned tech-- My choices are designed to maximize war and cash. On the probe front, another one died, leaving me with just one sea probe-- I will start some land ones to get all the Hives tech and more importantly his map
Q, my chopper will scout for you once it is fully recuperated . . . provide details where you want it to go and it will be done. the cyborgs have no transport ships at the moment so that threat is nullified-- Their navy consists of a single laser skimship .
Cheers
Flub

The CBA is done .
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Free Drones today announced the issuance of war bonds to fund their conflict with the Hive. The allocations to the Drone population were fully suscribed in hours and they are now inviting the Morganites and Peacekeepers to aid in the "quest to preserve democracy"

Any cash you can spare would be appreciated on this turn so I can rush a bunch of units. It should be the last I'll need since I'm hoping my initial rush built force should be enough with normal reinforcement and rushing available from my own cash flow
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Newsflash
Drones christen an group of ELITE MISSILE PARAGUYS. One of their unit said " its such a hoot to parajump 8 units and then double time the road for 6 more"
The ministry believes that their range and versatility will be a key in any future conflict
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Guys here's the force I see jumping off with in 2164
5 chaos choppers (3 of them elite)
2 impact choppers ( cheap and for hitting annoyances)
2 missile paraguys (elite 6-1-1)
2 drop shells (elite 1-1-1 ready for upgrade)
1 chaos rover ( 8-1-2-- I built a boat for the initial plan so I'll use it for SOMETHING)
1 drop rover (elite 2-1-2 for upgrading)
2 cheap aircover ( for ZOC-- road destruction etc)
1 drop probe ( I wanted more but the Hive has 0 probes)
3 chaos and 2 impact choppers should follow every 3 turns or so with 2 drop shells every 2 turns and a missile paraguy every two turns
My tactics are designed a lot around their total lack of airpower or anti-air abilities. I figure my planes are immune and I will use them to interdict but not necessarily attack Hive ground troops. Despite the Hives lack of probes, I plan to be very careful and only take what I can hold. I don't know if the Hive is reading the board but they are obviously paying attention to something since they are militarizing in a big way-- unfortunately for them they are constructing about a dozen 8-1-1s which will be fodder to the choppers
--------------------------------
The Consciousness landed a troop and a probe on my homeland. They and their transport are now dead but a warning, the cyborgs are up to 4 probes and they have a couple of transports again-- so vigilence is the watchword. I think that the chopper after next from Free drone Central will head over the PK way again to harass those cyborgs.
----
The more I am seeing, the more I see the benefit of hitting the Hive hard and soon. While their tech is not that impressive, there is no doubt that industrial capabilities are and if they had airpower now, well we would probably be fighting a defensive war rather than planning an offensive one.

Adaptive doctrine to you both and opt comp to q.
I think I might jump off the attack a turn early since I have a lot of forces in "Forward Attack Base" -- That and the uni is two turns away from Advanced Military Algorithms. I figure I can capture 2 bases on the first smack before the Hive can build any AAA units. Hopefully I can steal AMA in the next few turns. With that and cyber ethics you can both go for pre. alg. and fusion
Q I have a chopper just north of UN equality base-- let me know if you spot any cyborgs.
Tau I will send you my next chopper.

Military Communique from Colonel Buckley to central Command
Initial attacks were successfully concluded with the capture of Social Artery and Unity Lair and the destruction of a small Hive military base. Second-wave troops are now in position to move forward while the Assault troops recuperate. I have ordered a period of airstrikes through 2164 to degrade the defensive abilities of the Hive in a cluster of urban centres in the centre of the lines with major ground troop assaults to take place in 2165

The Hive troops are being stubborn-- I have not lost anything yet but decided to take a turn to "degrade their command and control facilities"-- essentially I wiped out their sensors, formers and took out a number of troops but made no move to take a base. Next turn I should take 3-4 bases depending on how the attacks go

really tau-- My unity chopper in your base does not count ??
I went back to the turn and tested this and see where I went wrong. When I looked at the available " action"choices it was not there initially but if I moved the unit to use up its available movement points, then the option appeared
and tau, the problem should not be that huge since to gift you a land unit, I have to drop it over your way in any event.
