New Goals & Operations section added to first post:
Quote:Goals and Operations
Engaging our enemies' fighting ships is not a goal unto itself! The Red Hessian Army cannot fuel its ships, feed its soldiers, or aid the impoverished and downtrodden Rheinlander without resources that go beyond kill tallies under cockpits. All RHA personnel are directed to engage the enemy with the following goals in mind. Remember, ships and pilots are no help to our cause if they've become so much Junkers scrap and frozen meat. Make your efforts and sacrifices count!
Do as much damage as possible to the diamond industry in Dresden and Omega-7. Daumann is weak in Dresden and every opportunity to raid their shipping and destroy their infrastructure should be taken. With enough pressure we can push Daumann out of Dresden entirely.
Disrupt Repulican Shipping at every opportunity. Trade is the life blood of an empire, let's cut that artery.
Map the contents of the Omega systems within one or two jumps of Red Hessian bases. Knowing every cloud of gas, chunk of ice, and ribbon of scrap metal around us is paramount to our efforts.
Confront and clear any Corsair intruders in Omega-7, 11, and 5. These systems are the core of our Omega efforts and every attempt should be made to keep them secure.
Confront and clear any Unioners from systems within one jump of Dresden. These traitorous friends of the Corsairs cannot be allowed to expand their sphere of influence.
Harass the Rheinland Military and Police forces when possible. Pitched battles are not our goal; focus on irritation, distraction, and the draining of resources from these groups.
"To gain a hundred victories in a hundred battles is not the highest excellence;
to subjugate the enemy's army without doing battle is the highest of excellence."
