The big warrior looked at the plan presented. He paced a little, scratching his chin as he did.
"A bold plan indeed, Admiral," he stated. "I mostly agree with you but you need to add something."
He went over to the hologram and pointed at the Eastern side of Dublin, "You forgot Edinburgh. It is more direct and the jump hole to it is more isolated than most. Their juggernaughts would have a difficult time with the rocks from Tau-31 and the ice field into Edinburgh but once through, they would have an easy trip if they travel right."
"Also, they are very good with bombers and their bombers are very tough ships," he continued, "while capital ships are a need, what we really need more of are fighters, good fighters. Eagles are no match for them. Even Commander Roden at Freeport 9 flies a loaded out Stinger and even he feels it is barely adequate for such a job." He paused for a moment, "and let us not forget training. The Royal Navy calls in cruiser or dreadnaught support for it's fighters and bombers. I have analyzed their tactics and they are a very worthy opponent as they also use deception. Never, ever, drop your guard around them."
He then looked at his admiral, "Sir, we are stretched pretty thin. We may have to either find a way to get more recruits or we may have to decide what is important and consolidate."
As he is about to sit down, he has a last second thought, "perhaps, just perhaps, we may be able to talk the Coalition into some attack drills for training. They are excellent fighter pilots as I understand."
