Blade was nervous, now. His plan, formerly, had seemed solid. Now, with the addition of the military GEARs and their pilots - both of whom he was aware of - things had shifted. He didn't have a solid grasp on their capabilities. But then, that wasn't necessary for victory: All that entailed was the removal of the hostages, not the defeat of the GEARs, or their own survival. Completing the objective was the purpose of the mission - anything else was a bonus.
The key to success would be, as always, to be highly proactive and remain mobile; though in GEAR battles and operations, mobility was always a key tactic. After all, even the heaviest GEAR was nowhere near as armoured as a tracked vehicle, and a good missile shot would take it out. All GEARs punched over their own weight - it was the nature of a walking vehicle. And of course, that almost levelled the field a bit. It was a matter of who got the best shots in... though again, that was a matter of chance and tactics.
Huffing in irritation at his own second-guessing, the fox thumped the arm of his control chair, before rolling his neck, stuffing the thoughts back down.
If I were them, he reasoned, [/i]I'd split my forces. The pro-spec GEARs will be force multipliers, with their better sensors and weapons. One per group of GEARs, for two cells of five. Limiting our mobility and ability to strike at long-range will be their primary objective, but if we can secure air superiority and hold the position temporarily and keep them busy, then we'll have a window to achieve our objective. We don't need to hold the base permanently - just temporarily. Keep them busy, and keep them moving[/i]
Dancing his fingers over the touch-pad again, he rejigged his orders, working on the fly.
His units were currently split out: Shona and Adrian in their sniping position with Nawlin and Raisa close by. Oliver, Myrina and Kradis were formed up with him, and Ken orbiting a short distance away. They were outnumbered, that was an additional consideration, there were not just GEARs, but also irregular infantry forces to contend with.
Silverwinds' strength as a fighter and as a commander was his tenacity, his daring, and his unpredictable nature. His combination of this with a hard knowledge of systems and their capabilities had given him the skill he needed to succeed.
"Listen up," he said quickly and in a firm tone. "The two operators on the field are going to be expecting us to target them, and the GEAR unit. Our key is mobility, and our goal is to rescue the hostages. We don't have to take out all the hostiles, just secure the airspace and the HQ long enough to get the hostages out. So we proceed with the targeting of the air defences, and the sweep in. Following that, I predict they'll start tryin' ta hit us. Keel, Bell, Nawling, Raisa - move position at that time. Stay concealed, but move to shield your original positioning to escape counter-fire. Ken, at the same time, you move. The five of you will have the objective of overwatch: target any hostiles firing on us. Pin them down. Destroy or crippled them if you can, but primarily, keep them tied up. The rest of us will storm the base, secure the courtyard, and then move again to hit the inbound. It ain't perfect, and I reckon it's gonna change a lot as we go - but we gotta keep movin'. Go to it. We move on the first shots from Bell and Keel. Out".
