The first thing I am posting is the Tactical Mission and its rules (subject to change). Following that will be an example as submitted to me by FA Niksavel (ret). Post any questions here...

Tactical Mission

Rules:
1) Submittals must be made by a squad (Army), squadron (Navy), cabbel (Dark Jedi), EC (The EC will count as 1 submittal)
2) Each submittal will be graded in a scale of 1 to 5 points based on accuracy and how well the mission was presented to me (website, graphics, document, etc etc)
3) Everyone who makes a submittal should keep in mind all of the accurate ship specifications
4) All submittals should be documented exactly how you would fight the battle to successfully remove 70% of all freighters. Submittals can be done via website, word document, it can include pictures, missions, etc etc.

SUBJECT: Battle plans

Here is the battle plan for the supply mission in the upcoming campaign against the New Republic. Stick to is and this should be a breeze. Should something go wrong feel free to improvise as this supplies are essential to the efficiency of a prolonged campaign agaist the NR.

Our first task force consists of the following:

ISD-II Devastator
Alpha squadron (T/A)
Lightning squadron (GUN)
Kaph squadron (T/F)
Blizzard squadron (GUN and T/B)
Steel squadron (T/I /w shields)
ATR squadron (Stormtroopers)

VSD Behemoth
TIE Droid squadron 1
TIE Droid squadron 2

FRG Ardent
TIE Droid squadron 3
TIE Droid squadron 4

FRG Ares
TIE Droid squadron 5
TIE Droid squadron 6

INT Vernichtung
TIE Droid squadron 7


BACKUP: SSD Mustang (360 starfighters, mostly TIE Droid)


As you can see, if our INTEL is correct, our forces are vastly superior to the hostiles.

Speed is essential in this mission in order to minimize the possible losses to our craft and to prevent any possible NR reinforcments to show up.


This is how it�s gonna be done:

Lightning squadron will be armed with heavy space bombs and will enter hyperspace ahead of the main strike force. It will drop out of hyperspace on the far side of the battle area, behind the hostile PLT Reliant approx 5 minutes after the entry of the ISD-II Devastator, so that most of the NR craft will be on the far side of the battle area. It�s mission will be to bomb the platform and destroy it. The platform is of no importance to us. Estimated time of target elimination is a minute after drop from hyperspace as it should be destroyed with the first salvo of the Heavy Space Bombs.

Lightning squadron will then proceed towards the NR convoy with disable mission. If any of the NR cap ships starts posing a threat it will disengage and start bombing runs at point blank range on the ship.


The rest of the fleet will have the following mission,
ISD-II Devastator will enter the area first at an optimal distance of 5 clicks from the nearest hostile. It should give him just about enough time to launch Steel, Alpha and Kaph squadrons. These three squadrons will have the task of space superiority, immediately eliminating any NR starfighter oposition. They should steer clear of any capital ship barrage fire. Should they suffer losses, any of the TIE Droid squadrons can be called to assist. When the starfighter supremacy has been achieved they shall turn on the NR convoy relieving it of it�s shields. Note that Kaph squadron must steer clear of any Freighter groups which might offer barrage fire as it doesn�t have shields. The convoy should be mostly down to 0% shields by the time Lightning squadron arrives to disable it.

Blizzard squadron will be armed with Heavy Rockets and will assault and destroy the NR Mon Cal cruiser. When the mission is complete it�s secondary target is the NR ISD. When out of Rockets, it will turn back to the ISD-II Devastator to rearm.

While the starfighter skirmish rages the Devastator will have enough time to calculate the hyperspace entries of the rest of the fleet and relay them to them.

After it�s entry the Devastator will attack and destroy the NR Interdictor and when it�s destroyed it will attack and destroy the NR ISD.

When at least 50% of the convoy is disabled, the Assault Transport squadron from ISD-II Devastator will launch to finish the disabling effort and capture the convoy.


The rest of the VE capital ships will eneter the area approx 5 minutes after the ISD-II Devastator. INT Vernichtung will drop in 3 clicks behind ISD-II Devastator with the FRGs Ardent and Ares as escorts, while the VSD Behemoth will enter near ISD-II Devastator and assist it in it�s mission.

Immediate departure upon completion of all mission goals.


Should INTEL be grossly mistaken about the enemy starfighter complement, there are 7 TIE Droid squadrons as back up on our ships and if it should be mistaken about the enemy capital ship presence, SSD Mustang is on standby.
