Starvation Doctrine: BAF|MN + LN vs MRG/GRN, Cortez, Friday 21 UTC

[Thunderer]

Background:

The Marine Royale Gauloise need to deliver 5,000 units of engine components to Battleship Betheny. However, their supply lines are stretched. So, they seek to scavenge it from the locals. It seems that they have managed to trick the Bretonian Merchant Navy into shipping the same through Cortez at an appointed time. In fact, the Merchant Navy is aware of the possibility of a trap, so they have alerted the local garrison. Everything goes according to plan for the MRG, until they encounter more forces than they anticipated. Being heavily pressured by their superiors to accomplish the operation, they decide to attack.


Starting positions:



The Bretonian convoy is intercepted. The MRG interception unit (2 fighters) holds it pinned. The MRG main fleet rushes to interdict its cargo. The Bretonians call for help in the system channel. The LN garrison rushes to the Bretonians' aid.
