How big of a blast radius do you think it has? I was thinking through various solutions until I remembered something.

"The Rostosov endured the heavy barrage of plasma cannons directed at him."
"The Rostosov was hit in it's exposed back, sending it falling down, and the resulting bombardment of titanium-melting hellfire quickly sealed any hope of saving him."

The sector Mist moved into is actually more ideal for firing on than the sector it had previously occupied, assuming that the strike that killed Rostosov already has killed off the majority of the sector.

If we want to talk about sectors that haven't been crushed/fired on in some major way... we are looking at something like this:

Yellow: Sectors Enemies have moved through
Orange: Sectors that experienced heavy combat between Werks
(I estimated the movements based on the new positions on the maps of various enemies, and the combat zones by posts that I could remember, so there may be some inaccuracy trending towards not enough marking.)[/hider]

"The Planetary Defence Force will form defensive positions in the colonies, but they have been ordered to only target the enemy infantry and troop carriers. Assault vehicles and war machines are your squad's sole responsibility, Officer." -Lieutenant Ritsu

Keeping in mind that Mist has not fired yet, from what I can devise from the GM posts is that our PDF is still alive and kicking, though throughout the city Cruxi ground forces had begun to push them back a few rounds ago. (Though post wise, that is only a few minutes.)

The marks I put on the map are just marking the Cruxi [i]WERK[/i] movement. Our role was to prioritize the assault vehicles and war machines. Currently however, Cruxi ground forces are winning the war while we play with the big toys. While I do have pity for those caught in the crossfire, our priority should switch from the War Machines to assisting the PDF as soon as possible. I am afraid a single sector or even four sectors of civilian casualties is a small price for the lives of the entire colonies worth of inhabitants.

That said, remember that the PDF base is now well within MISTS firing range, if MIST catches them in the crossfire, our ground troops will lose central communication, and due to jamming, our intra-planetary forces will not be able to help them coordinate. Unfortunately, our works are too big and unwieldy to aid the ground troops in anything but firesupport, but even that would be invaluable in this situation. The least a 60 meter mechanical monster could do is squash a few groups of baddies, even if it is crippled and disarmed.

TLDR; Our priority is to eliminate Cruxi WarMachines AND to assist the PDF in fighting off Cruxi ground forces. If Mist is not eliminated quickly, we are in danger of winning the battle and then losing the city.

If we must become demons to save the people, then let us become demons. They will curse us even as we sacrifice ourselves to save them.
