Operation: Zermürbung
Operation completed
RHA-OP-2011071


Location: RHC Von Rohe, Omega-3

1. Operational aim

To further reduce the West-Rheinland fleet's influence in the Omega region and secure our influence in the Upper Omega systems. To ultimately assure the continued independence of the Upper Omega region from any house rule.

2. Details

Tensions between Bretonia and Rheinland have been steadily rising in recent months, but not even our best analysts were able to predict that the whole thing would escalate into an armed conflict. But this is not like any other conflict: it is a phony war, neither side has the resources to commit to an actual invasion plan.

However, the Rheinland Military Westliche Hauptflotte is as always extremely confident of its abilities, and this gives us a unique opportunity to thin their ranks even more. The Military admiralty has been sending battleships from Stuttgart into Omega-7 and Omega-3 in order to "secure the area", having learned exactly nothing from their conflict with the IMG. While their signature "brick wall" tactic (stacking battleships in covering arcs of fire) is extremely effective in a head on fight, this time around we will not be the main target.

This operation will be concerned mostly around navigating the Military straight into the hands of the Bretonian Armed Forces, so that we can take out as many Military ships as possible while they are fighting the Cambridge defenders. Armed Forces ships, while previously known to define their targets erratically, will for the duration of this mission be considered as non-action.

***
The operation will be marked as completed once all the above objectives have been carried out.
Further objectives may be added as the situation unfolds.

4. Expected aftermath

Given the level of contact from organisations looking forward to our involvement, any outcome other than complete and utter failure on our part will successfully expand our influence in the Upper Omega region. This operation should help us successfully rid Omega-7 of the excess Military forces stationed there, as they are moved to enforce a phony blockade in Omega-3.

A side result of this will be a further gravitation of the IMG toward our cause, and hopefully their declaration of support for our movement. The Omega-3 Zoners will also join the ranks of those who are indebted to us, alongside Freeport 9 Zoners. This will let us expunge the Corsair influence from Omega-3 even further.

Post diplomatic and important reports here so that the operational table can be updated. All battle reports however should still be posted in the Message Dump. Good luck, kameraden.
