Tangier ground defences

Senor Elder... *nods*

Situation changed a lot at Tangier. I'm afraid enemy broke through el veil of secrecy into our plan. We can't take Tangier by surprise. That could mean massacre on both sides in case we just proceed. There what makes me come to you with slight changes of our plan. Facts standing so far:

1. That ugly Alvin Katz carrier is suddenly orbiting over Tangier's moon. No one knows when and how it happened. Luckily, Coalition can't parry Fes's firepower with it and they know it. But, that means stronger presence of small enemy ships in system, like bomber interceptors. That leaves us with using cloaked ships to bomb the planet. Regular TBH pilots will not use that shameful device, so we will have to count on Furiosa bomber wing. They are just few, so we can't bomb and weaken all Hessian strongholds. And we don't have to. Keep reading...

2. Another bad news is that Alvin Katz is empty. It's crew are digging deeper into Tangier as we speak. Coalition also stripped it's cannons and I'm sure they will use them to fortify the planet even more. Once mighty carrier, now is just an armored shell floating over Khemmiset. And I'm sure it's a bait. I suggest we deal with Katz after taking Tangier and see what happens. We are working on getting ship's blueprints in the meantime, so we could solve that threat with minimum forces.

3. Tanks. They have tanks at the surface now. All kinds of armored hover battle vehicles. With guns. They probably were secretly deployed by Katz and were spotted from el orbit recently. We can't figure how strong they are, but we do know Coalition makes good tanks. In any case - tanks kill infantry. But... can their tanks hover over lava?

That's where we decided to make a plan B.

MESSAGE FADES OUT TO BE CONTINUED AFTER A SHORT BREAK

To remind you, Tangier was ours before 811 AS Hessians took it by the force. But tectonics maps we worked on we still have in Imperial Archives. Maps show tectonic plate connections and gaps. They are not too many and are easy to cut with bombs. Thin planet's crust floats on lava literally. Hundred or more mini-continents are connected and therefore relatively stable. Cutting connections would make plenty of small islands, floating on lava chaotically. They would punch each other, resulting in volcano eruptions on one side and lava floods on the other side. Also earthquakes... all the rocks moving up and down, kicking and damaging hover-tanks. Damaging military installations. Putting fear in soldier hearts.



This video shows how would it all work. Tangier's rich mines will be also damaged, but that's nothing we can repair in following years, after taking the planet. Hell we will make there will not last forever. Hessians not taken by lava will become an easy target to our marines, ready to deploy from Fes. For taking Viernheim Base and few strongholds remained we will unleash Tuareg assassins from Casablanca. Better than keeping them there and seeing them getting fat and lazy. With Katz demolished or at least shooed away and Viernheim under our control, we can keep bombing as long as tanks become no real threat. That will save a lot of our marines and make them even more capable to fight at Gran canaria later. They will surely hate warm places after all that.



That's the antimatter torpedo modification. We don't have to produce new ones. We just have to remove the engine and use it's heavy alloy as coating at the top. We don't have to precision bomb enemy installations. We just have to drop it at sweet tectonic spots from upper levels of atmosphere and leave. Torpedo will penetrate planet's crust and will be set to explode after our bombers cloak out. We will drop two for every tectonic connection, just to be sure. And then fiesta. I noticed Fes crew is ready for that on my last visit.

MESSAGE FADES IN AND CONTINUES

Bombers are ready and we can modify all torpedos we need daily. Furiosas are also ready to go, mucho better than rioting in my hacienda's garden, senor. *nods happily, while pressing a button with his hairy macho hand to end comm. Button cracked more than usual, being surprised by so much patriotism in just one finger*
