[Combat Ops] Turn 8 - 3722 Misery - [Completed]

[Fatebringer]

Certainly not the most prestigious of vessels, William Espinoza was still proud of his ship. He'd been seeing red in his sleep since he had to abandon delivering his charges. The Red of the Kurita Warship that lurked the dark sea. "Mac, tell the big fish we're jumped into the pool safely." It was a great relief to know the safest place to be in the universe was under the guns of the Heavily Armored Avalon Warship. "Message sent Captain. Time to see if the tropical fishare still hunting these waters." William turned to Espinoza, "They knew we were coming, it wasn't likely that they they would come here just to relinquish their claim, not with the challenge our Prince threw down. Nay, she's out there and someone needs to report to me as soon as she surfaces"

OP 4 - DC initiates Naval Engagement Orders

Naval Engagement
Category: Attack
Prerequisite: WarShip
Size Limit: Special

This type of order is a large-scale naval engagement where one or more WarShips are brought
to bear against the enemy. The attacker commits one or more WarShips, plus all of their organic
forces. The defender may deploy an equal number of FP in WarShips (including their organic
forces). If an insufficient number of WarShips are present to match the attacker's FP, Patrol Ship
and ASF units may be added to the defender's force to balance the FP.

Each side's score at the end of a naval engagement is equal to the percentage of enemy BV they
destroyed, plus ten for each WarShip sunk.

As the strength of this engagement is dictated by the attacker, and they have indicated that ASF CAP (2nd Fleet Regiment) at the time of engagement was moving internally with the Draconis Rift, this unit will be included as "Warship Integral Unit". However, the 1st Fleet Regiment was not dedicated to the Bushido Blade and there were assets available to move them. This unit may use the Aerospace Support manuever however.
