Turn Two Discussion

[TLAM Strike]

I’ll keep making these turn discussions so we don’t have to search thought large threads to get important information…

IMPORTANT Operation next turn! I’m having Swimsalot fly a P-3 to C6 Turjillo on the chance that the Enemy may try an LCAC landing there to get that CG and the base faster. If we do catch them we will not only wax one division of marines but two LCACs and throw a big wrench (spanner for you Euro folk) in to their plans if they decided like us to leave a Marine Division home for defense. This is a very long range mission for the P-3 and it will be unable to help in any other missions this turn but fortune favors the bold as they say. Also secondary objective for the mission (and I really want all your opinions on this) is to place up to 8 2000 lb mines at Turjillo. Now we really risk damage to neutrial merchant ships by doing this but we could sink some enemies should they decide not to send those LCACs and/or bring two divisions to Trjillo. Please tell me what you think, is it worth the risk to neutral shipping?

I will be sending an MH-60R to the Canal as a scout should they try an LCAC landing there too. I doubt they would but I feel its best to be safe and the MH-60R isn’t really need anywhere else. There will be another MH-60R on ALERT 5 with Penguins to help take out the LCACs if they show up. I have another buzzing around just to get intel on enemy MPA flight paths should they buzz the fleet again.

The USS Topeka SSN-754 should be detaching from escort of Task Force Bravo to proceed to the Kingston area to guard against possible enemy attack and to be on TLAM launch station. Good Hunting LTJG Morgan!

Task Force Alpha will be changing formation to defend against attack from enemy forces.

Our 2nd P-3 will be over flying E3, and D5 to gather vital intel on enemy fleet movements. Photorecon of D5 should be conducted if no hostiles in area. Their flight plan should be: I3>H3>G3>F3>E3>D4>D5>E5>F5>G4>H4>I3. SLAM-ER attack, SEAD or Mining Operation possible so Swimsalot be sure to carry AGM-64s, 2000lb mines and SLAM-ERs, torps not necessary.

This looks to be the movement orders for turn two. But you are the commanders of your ships and can have your ships deploy differently if you think its best. If you have a better idea as to deployment tell us and we will work to incorporate it in to our plans the best we can like we did with Kingston.

I believe the foreign gouvernements will be hostile but i don t believe they will have a military react. Can we wait an economical react? Will our harbour be deprive of neutral ship? It seems a more possible thing. As you I am very undecided.:rolleyes:

TLAM- have you sent the orders for turn two for the P3's? Just confirming if I need to send Molon my tasking orders to attack Turilljo?
I would think my route would be:
I3-H4-G4-F5-E5-D6--C6.
Question about D7, if I overfly Trujillo, will I violate neutrtality, will I come under SAM fire?
I can dogleg farther North and come in from E5-D6-D7-C7-C6, what is the ruling here?

I haven't heard from ML for the conclusons of Turn 1 yet. So hold off on sending more orders in, I don't want to overwhelm him.

Ok I've been making these little plot images for me to keep track on where our units are and plan ops. I guess I just find it easer to see it graphicly. Here is turn two. I used the navmap simbols for units. Red is spotted hostiles, Yellow is intel on where hostile maybe, orage arrows are where I think enemies may go, Green lines are P-3 Searches with A for ASW Searches, Blue 'H' and lines are helos. The one helo going from TF1 to Dom H. is taking me to command a P-3.

They can't steal a free space; there is no move-deploy-move deployed allowed. That would be a pretty obvios cheat...

Yea I realized that after we discussed the LCAC stuff a few days ago and have since written it out of next turn's operations. :wink:

Can you keep posting updated images like the one you posted as i find it really does help with getting a feel for the battle space and battle situation.
