Intelligence analysts have informed the Kaiserliche Rheinwehr of an impending large-scale resupply operation planned by the Sirius Coalition Revolutionary Army. It is believed that the intention of the SCRA is to further solidify the carrier Ben Warner as a staging point of raids into Rheinland space. With its various ongoing engagements, the Kaiserliche Rheinwehr would prefer not to deal with another avenue of attacks on its convoys and civilian shipping in the Omegas and Stuttgart. In order deal with this situation, the Oberkommando has approved the creation of Einsatzgruppe (task force) 12. Its commanding officer is tasked with performing a swift assault within Omega-48 in order to ensure no transports are allowed to land on Planet Tangier or dock with the Ben Warner

Meanwhile, the Coalition has placed considerable importance on the safety of this convoy. Natasha Romanoff, Commisar of the Black Guard battlegroup, is tasked with escorting the transports to safety. While not directly expecting trouble, the Black Guard are ever on alert for enemy forces, and should provide a good account of themselves, no matter the threat. Additionally, the Ben Warner continually houses wings of bomber and fighter craft in rotation, which can be employed at short notice to counter any threat in-system.

Combat Area & Disposition

The RM taskforce will arrive via the Omega-7 jump hole and proceed to block the estimated route of the convoy, further proceeding towards the Alegranza Cloud to engage. The SCRA convoy will arrive via the Omega-52 jump hole, and proceed at best speed towards Planet Tangier and the Ben Warner. Upon sighting the RM force, the bomber wing at the Ben Warner may choose to attack or attempt to retreat and regroup with the Black Guard. This sighting indicates the formal start of the event.

[RM]RNC-Wetzlar, Donau or [RM]Lt.Jurgen.Schmidt, fighter

If absolutely necessary, able to fill fighter slot as [RM]Obl-Trau.Habermeyer instead.

Asking for a friend -- Has this event taken into consideration that such moves by Rheinland may upset friends in high places?

A disbalance in the event tbh. No need in 4 Transport ships, delete Tirpitz slot and reduce 1 BS slot. Make fighters equal to fight them.

and here I thought this event is for the patch transports, thought they will be able to take out fleets xd
if this is not arranged for the update release, I agree with Couden it is very unbalanced

Thanks for the responses.
please elaborate - the treaty still allows RM to operate in-system to defend its interests. Of course, I love the idea of iRP claims that RM is bending the spirit of the treaty.

the event is not meant to be balanced. The idea is that RM detected a weakness and will try to exploit it. However, I don't want this to be a complete pushover. Ideal odds would be "3 to 2" in favor of RM, but I'm not sure exactly how to achieve that, so suggestions are welcome. Finally, the most important outcome are the transports. So if the RM destroys most of the escorts but all the transports land, that is a massive failure for the RM taskforce.

Some of the future events I plan to design will be more balanced in terms of dispositions.

I don't want to divulge future roleplay, but what I can say is that some may not find it all too pretty that Rheinland moves ships unnounced into someone else's backyard. Just wanted to ask if you are aware of potential consequences, being a returning vet and all that.

Do go ahead with the event, though, by all means. Just expect roleplay from non-participants too.

Good, more roleplay - thank you for encouraging the event!

I can join latest by 6pm Server time most days on RM or coalition side
RM - any ship class
Coalition - do frigates count? (They are pretty much bad fat gunboats) If they do I'd like to play Coalition transport - I'd suggest changing it to transport/frigate class if you are up for it
