With regards to transport, my main concern is the submarine threat. I believe with our destructors working in tandem and using active sonar, we could create a good window for them (although I don’t know how well that would be represented by the game) but it will be key to have good air defences for them.
I take it, then, that I was not the only one to report to the President that we cannot agree on a Chairperson.
I would like to reiterate that, due to the nature of the Department of Intelligence, I have access to information that is on a strict need-to-know basis, for the safety of our agents and assets in the field. There are details that I would be able to share with the President that I cannot openly discuss even in this room.
I don’t know if that means he’s about to make the choice for us. Or if he expects an immediate decision from us.

Well, while we wait for the President’s decision, we need to get on with planning. The only place I am certain has an AA battery in Silvania is the airport, where their other five are is beyond me.
Are there any strategic facilities of the Silvanian scum that need immediate neutralising? Like their port refueling facilities, or any particular bridges?

As I said, one at Svarozic, which leaves four unaccounted for.
Seems like their three bridges are obvious positions, plus either port or capital… that changes things.
That’s what I suggested earlier, if we choose to invade those would be obvious targets. We need to capture an airfield to land troops
I would expect fortifications at the Silvanian air field. It is very likely a key defensive position in their plan.
But would air transport be our first option? I would think that their airfield would be an ok “beach head landing” backed by a sea transported invasion with the main bulk of our forces.
Yeah I think we need to secure an airfield first - which would require a sea landing or covert action. So that is only when we can secure an airfield
(Sorry all, just recovering from a 13 hour work day, so to keep you on your toes.)
The large radio in the corner is suddenly turned up. The beloved roving reporter Stan Stannson is interviewing people at the dockside.
”For all you people out in radio land I’m talking to another brave volunteer here, fresh off the boat from France and already willing to sign up for our own navy. Tell me cap, what inspired you to join Freedonia’s fight?”
”Well Stan, if it wasn’t bad enough that my ship, Le Grande Snuglé was harassed by warships on our journey here, we also saw that the enemy is making an aggressive move, why as we sailed past we saw an enemy Anti-Aircraft brigade marching to the Silvanian coast south of Svantevit. What menacing plans are they planning? I know not.”
”Shocking, truly shocking. Stay tuned for a message from our sponsors, Hannibal’s canned goods…”

@pillbox I hope you are interrogating that guy soon to retrieve information for our ships…
At this time, we have no sources of intelligence in the form of captive hostiles.

Thinking of our transport options,we have already assessed which beaches look empty. While I understand that their destroyers are in port, it is the unknown factor around their submarines which make sea transport so difficult. How I wish our Chief of Naval Transport had left us more information.
What do we have to make sure our assault sticks?

The Department of Research suggests that we boil the sea with a giant maser cannon.
The Department of Research is being taken away to rest somewhere quiet.

There is an actual fanfare played by the military band in the courtyard.
The President’s personal messenger arrives in the room with a Presidential Order.
it appears we have a Chairperson.

And a Deputy. Good. Freedonia will prevail.
So what does our illustrious Chief thinks will be the plan of action?
