War Council (Fort Ansel)

Conference Room

Spring 743 A.G.S.

Discussion of Enclave's short-term and long-term plans

Lieutenant Nicolas Plantagenêt would step forward, declaring an intent to speak. If his superiors allowed it he would express the following:

Excusez-moi, if I may.

Bretonia having deployed two battlegroups along the Tau highway which connects Bretonia to Kusari. If Kusari were to deploy a fleet to Tau-29, then we maybe in a situation most dire. If they were to all advance into our lines at once, and should the traitors of the Confederacy assist them. Then we're looking at a military operation whose singular objective is to crush us. While, I have no doubt our forces would routinely beat them, I fear we cannot out sustain them.

I would therefore suggest exploiting the opening that Bretonia has current created in overextending. Leeds. The system is relatively devoid of infrastructure and garrisons of Bretonia. If we were able to spearhead an assault into the system to destroy the local forces here. We severe the Bretonian supply lines to the Taus and establish control over the system where we may tax the highway convoys of their cargo to fulfill our own needs.

Nicolas would then, after saying what he wanted too, realised he may have done so in a manner not befitting his station. And promptly fell back to where he was before after expressing his concern with his tone as he said:

"Pardonne-moi, I did not wish to seem out of place."
