Keiji, do you want us to send the Yamato as reinforcement for the naval battle?

Like Kannon said we don't know what the port looks like

So, possibly dumb question, but is there any reason we can't have all 6 ships join the naval battle and ignore the enemy land forces until we win at sea? Then, instead of splitting our own forces, we could defeat the enemy in detail.

One big reason is that if you do not engage their land forces you are crossfired with what their island packs with little to no ability to retaliate.

Land:
Ran - reserves
Susumu - HE/HO
Anzai - E/HO
Tori - R/Duel (won)
Ruqqayah - E/Duel (won)
Edogawa - E/HO
Wataru - D/HO
Heroic won in epic fashion: +25 to resolution

Sea:
Kenzo - E/HO
Yasuhiro - E/HO
Zabieru - E/HO
Bellena - E/HO
Ringo - E/HO

Don't know what keiji plans to take out, if suggest all the cannons on the revenant and the gallower though. Not sure what to do with the last 1 damage. As for sending the ship back, if say it's keiji's call.

After a discussion with Kannon we need to press on as soon as possible

(IC Keiji is pretty sure he's got it handled! ) Your call though!

This earlier answer makes me think it might be nice to have a captured shore battery on our side, but you're in command of the land force, so I leave the choice up to you.

Actually, reviewing the order of battle, Roxas Militia and Hardened Seamen are both really good units among the land force. You should probably keep them with your main force. We'll be fine at sea.

Are we confident of that? I'm just asking because if we lose the sea fight, I imagine we also lose the ships being held in reserve as transports, and if they're taking apart the gun batteries to attack the port, then they get to eat battery fire from the ships with no ability to counterattack. In short, if the ship battle is lost, I expect it will mean the land battle will also lose, so I'd be wary of stripping too much from the sea battle. On the other hand, I don't understand the numbers at all, so...

Currently we are at around +7 over Hawthorne's bonuses. Though the old zombie has a higher dicepool then our leader. If you look at it, we've swung the rolls around 26 points in our favor. Another +8 for use would be nice, but it also means we weaken the land forces to a degree. If we really want that extra push. It would likely be better to have the Walrus or stingray move to join our battle group. It means some if our troops might not be able to retreat, but if it comes to retreating we will likely have enough casualties that they can fit in two ships.

I am waiting on Susu's HO to check if someone else rolls one, then we can make it a collective one for more fun. To be fair for players we will be counting +5 per HO/Duel participant per won, and -5 per participant per lost. Coordinate better if it happens as stakes get greater.

People in the naval part of the battle can now make Round 2 Mass Battle rolls on the "winning, engaged" (Kunshu Maru and Ashitae Maru) or "winning, heavily engaged" (Amaterasu's Grace) tables. Good luck!

One thing to remember for context: you're Engaged with Eternal and Disengaged with the rest.
