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.

[Mr.Mike.]

I can call people from my faction, but I am somewhat concerned about the fact that Liberty can only have 2 ships on his side.

Why no CR against GRN?

Why does everyone want to fight the GRN? Five Allied slots are filled already, wait for some GRN to apply first!

Would you add one more LN fighter? I'd like to partipicate, but the place is already taken.

Why no CR against GRN?

Read the background and think it over


Edit: MRG|RNS-Fauconneau.

Pls add BCs, then I'll switch to MRG|RNS-Rochelle

[Thunderer]

The MN convoy's escorts are already fixed as destroyers, so it would be unfair to add BCs. However, if enough GRN apply, I'll add a Liberty Navy slot for a BC, and a Gallic one as well.

Would you add one more LN fighter? I'd like to partipicate, but the place is already taken.

Tell me the name of your ship, please, and I'll replace a BAF fighter with you.
