By now everyone was becoming accustomed to these meetings. With Zone One clear of Militia, it was time to consider where to attack in Zone Two. That being Central Akos. There were four new military targets. The option of attack the main civilian holding in the region, Torutovy, had been discarded: the locals were friendly according to the informant, and the Militia had vacated the town. Once more a map of the area was displayed. Basic information on each site soon followed. Attending lance leads or representatives, along with key support personnel, were encouraged to discuss the information, ask questions and make suggestions over where to strike next.
Would it be target A, B, C or D?
• A) Ninovo Supply Depot - A supply and storage base along the highway. Military target.Each site is given a rating along certain scales.
Strength predicts how much damage the Angels would take. This will always be a negative. The Obsidian Angels need to keep Strength high.
Impact predicts the contribution toward the contract. This can be positive or negative. The Obsidian Angels want to increase Impact.
Threat predicts the effect on the enemy's perception of the unit. This can be positive or negative. The Obsidian Angels hope to keep Threat low.
Salvage predicts how much material gain there may be. This will always be positive. Salvage will indirectly raise Strength. The more Salvage the better!
Scales: (from least to most)
Minimal -> Minor -> Low -> Moderate -> High -> Very High -> Extreme
Prediction: Low opposition. Closest site to our dropsite. Slightly aids contract objectives. Lower risk site with a good amount of supplies and moderate salvage.
Strength: Low decrease
Impact: Low increase
Threat: Moderate increase
Salvage: Moderate
• B) Jericho Prison - Fortified high security prison for political prisoners. Military target.
Prediction: High opposition. Fortified walls, with turrets, and well protected by armoured vehicles and infantry. The AFFC would be satisfied if we took it, as it has prisoners they wish to free. Not an important site for the Akos Militia. Poor salvage.
Strength: High decrease
Impact: High increase
Threat: Low decrease
Salvage: Minor
• C) Arnad Air Base - A working air base for all kinds of air units. Military target.
Prediction: Very high opposition. Defended by aerospace fighters, VTOLs and jump troopers, as well as ground units. Presents a high risk to our operations in the region, but an even higher risk to directly confront. However, the AFFC would regard an attack very highly. Directly useful salvage will be limited for us.
Strength: Very high decrease
Impact: Very high increase
Threat: Very high increase
Salvage: Moderate
• D) Camp Kerkina - Training camp, barracks and military storage site. Military target.
Prediction: Moderate opposition. Both a training camp for new Militia recruits and a storage site. Moderately aids contract objectives. Good chance to seize lots of enemy equipment, which will boost our Strength.
Strength: Moderate decrease
Impact: Moderate increase
Threat: High increase
Salvage: High
Votes:
Each Player Character may vote for one of the four possible target sites. Officers (Rank 2.5+) contribute two votes to their choice of target, rather than one. The target with the most votes at the end will be the designated target for attack in two days' time.
Players may optionally make a single roll to sway NPCs to their choice of target. The highest roll will sway the chosen NPC. Raises do not count to the roll, but any free raises will each increase your roll total by +5. If you have the NPC as a Connection you gain a free raise per level of devotion. E.g. If you have Lakshmi Kaala as a Devotion 2 Connection then you would gain 2 free raises to a Tactics roll to sway her to your suggestion.
