Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XXIV: What is this "Haste" you speak of?

[Mad Mask]

FFF tactical idea-


Couldn't two of the corvettes/gunboats accompanying the Yamoto break formation in opposite directions? That is to say, One... ship stays with the Yamoto to provide torpedo-based attacks, while the other two travel along the coast in opposite directions, so as to be able to harry any lingering coastal defenses and settlements? Since, to my knowledge, the citadel can't split itself apart (or can it? dun dun dun! just kidding), splitting forces would be an ideal way to cause grief amongst its crew, especially the guinoids. If a land invasion is the ultimate goal here, it's also a great way to get a beachhead earlier. Since the citadel only has, to my knowledge, two heavy guns, getting out of range unharmed would be trivial.

This also gives a group of mass fly- enhanced sharnin swordmages something to do- harry one of the... whatevers.


On the other hand, I have all the tactical knowledge of a deranged wombat, so this might actually be a horrible strategy. I don't know.

The boats are actually transport ships with light armament (capable of wiping out coastal defences, but with a lot more difficulty than the Yamato), but your idea is good. Maybe two of the transports head out of range of the Citadel (submerged, so that it doesn't know where they are heading), ensuring that the Pikalites land and besiege the capital no matter what.

The Sharnians could still try to locate the Pikalites and teleport there to try to destroy them, although since the Tajirans have support from the transports' defence lasers and have a lot of armoured vehicles to compensate for their small size and vulnerability the Sharnians would be better off using ambush tactics, or they'll be massacred.

EDIT: Tomorrow I'll make a comic about that, please don't do anything yet.
