Bonjour,

As part of the profile I've sent for my recruitment, I have developed strategies that have allowed for my survival against otherwise suicidal odds. While these pale in comparison to some of the strategies used by my superior officers, they have allowed me to see a major weakness in our current position in the New London Blitz.

Currently, Liberty has ships in reserve that will eventually allow them to outnumber and outgun us in New London, should they reinforce the warships currently at planets Dover and New London. My strategy, while not tested in the simulations as of yet, presents a massive opportunity, one that I know we should seize.

In the 2D grid I have set up in the attachments, my plan is split into four steps. Here, I'll go into detail on what is not already mentioned in the grid.

Step 1

Step 1: In order to build the supply depot and ensure Corsair reinforcements and supplies reach New London, we'll need the support of our own corporations to build the base quicker. This should be a simple task, but it also means smuggling supplies past the battle groups at Planet Dover and the Mollies in the Somerset Asteroid Field. We will need to provide escort to transports as they make their way to the construction site, and ensure Step 1 goes to plan.

Step 2

Step 2: This plan is set in place primarily to offer immediate results and incentive for the Corsairs, who are already providing support with the Battlegroup Athos. The Battleship Fes is more than capable of a strike attack with proper supplies and reinforcements from the supply depot. As the Bretonians have removed the Battleship Essex from Dublin, we need to make sure that the decreased pressure on the Mollies doesn't interrupt later operations, by taking out their destroyer and its escort.

Step 3

Step 3: This plan will have to rely on the Battleship Fes in order to succeed. The Bretonians may have less large warships than us in the frontal engagement, but can make up for it by docking fighters with Canterbury and mooring Gunboats and Cruisers to the Kensington Platform. The Fes will circumvent this by destroying the docking ports and the escort ships before they launch, allowing us to turn their rear support into an exposed flank.

Step 4

Step 4: Once the Ottawa and Macduff Battlegroups are destroyed, I suspect the Libertonians will move additional warships to cover the Cambridge Gate before we can mount an offensive against it. If we manage to keep the Kensington Platform and Canterbury Station active, we can dock and moor fleets of our own in order to properly hold our position, and possibly launch strikes into the Manchester system with ease.

I do hope my strategy is worth considering, as we've seen with the fall of the Beauvray how exposed our position truly is. If nothing else, perhaps this could be modified to serve a grander purpose, I suppose. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this, Etat-Major.

Sincèrement

Marine Royal Gauloise, Maître Felix Dorian.
