Is there a DropShip I can do for all of these? Union is 12 mechs, and 2 Fighters, an Overlord is 36 mechs, and 6 Fighters,. A Seeker is 40 vees and 4 platoons of infantry. A Gazelle is 15 tanks. Condor is 20 vees and 12 infantry, enough for all infantry, but below by 5 vees. An Excalibur is a huge DropShip with 90 vees, 12 mechs and12 infantry platoons. I could do that and then a Mech and Fighter carrier too.

A Fortress was what I was hoping for since it’s an assault dropship and carrier with tons of armor, weapons and Long Tom artillery in the nose. It has 12 Mechs, and Vees too 3 Inf platoons. I could do a Condor and Fortress, but then rough load 2 Mechs in storage. And a Leopard CV for 6 Fighters too. What makes sense for me to try and get?

Let’s start with JumpShip. Each has drop rings. If I grab a Merchant, that’s a base of 12, -7 so 5, and then it has two drop rings. The Invader has three drop rings, but it’s 14. That’s a 7, likely, and I could try to grab the Leopard, Condor and Fortress. Or a regular Leopard with a 4 Mech and 2 Fighters and then the Invader has 2 Small Craft space, not Fighters though, so I could just do a Union with 2 Fighters and 12 Mechs, and then Leopard and Seeker.

Let’s start with my 7 for an Invader! I toss a 8, it’s mine! Now if you toss exactly what you needed, it will join you as an auxiliary, not yours and can leave you anytime. It’s named the “Triad of Stars.” This means we either salvaged or bought it.

Now I can get a free DropShip. A Fortress’s dozen Mechs and Tanks seems nice, plus infantry and assaulting and can secure the zone and with artillery too! It’s base is 13, so 6. I toss an 8 again. It’s named “Mason’s Bulwark” since the Captain is named Isis Mason and it’s her family DropShip from her dad.

I can skip recruiting in the first month instead of a ton to try and bring in the Condor! Let’s do it, it’s base is 9. That means I need a 2 to grab it. I toss a 10, each die was enough to get it. I have a Condor, named the “Flying Eagle”. I could wait until next month to try and bring in a Leopard CV, that requires a 10 base, so 3, dropped. Or I could just rent the Leopard CV like normal, and then try
and bring it in when we get back. We’ll take the first contract.

Now let’s figure out what my units are!!!

I update our rank for Stephen to Major.
