Hey guys,
I’d just like to say that everyone is making excellent posts and I’m really impressed with how smoothly things are going—thanks a lot! If you'd like, please leave any suggestions or ideas—I know that you guys don’t know what’s happening next but if you have any suggestions for non-main plot things let me know. ;D

Well personally I really want to know whats going to happen next, can that be a suggestion? that you tell us? lol, just kidding.
This is more kind of a main plot idea than a non-main plot thing, but I was wondering why the WoB is attacking the planet rather than just bombarding it with Nukes like they often do, I'm sure you already have a story line made up and all, but I can't help toying with the idea of a Brian Cache being somewhere on the planet or something...... That's probably just my imagination running wild though since I dont know whats really going to happen next.
If its possible though, I'd like to get some city fighting in with a 'mech.

Awesome, I can't wait for the city fighting. I just hope nobody finds it too strange that I'm on my 3rd 'mech, lol. I've been trying to keep my posts very realistic within the BattleTech stats and such, but as it turns out my character would be extremely brutal on most 'mechs lol.

Well. I'm a little miffed that you keep getting new toys and the rest of us have to do with broken ones. I'm telling mum on you. ;D @ Garland, where's the nearest KFC ?? Morgan's getting hungry. Hope it has Humvee sized drive through.

If not, it wouldn't be too difficult to MAKE the drive-through Humvee sized.
Please let me know if I'm getting on anyone's nerves with Aisa.

Well if its any consolation Morgan, by the end of this OP, Wolf is going to be so fricking broke that he's going to be stuck with just that omni Vulture for a long long long time.
Ben, I'm definately enjoying Aisa, she's a great character and your playing her very very well, I agress with Kieth, DON'T change her.
I'm interested in this drive through demolition as well, although I don't suppose a 60-ton 'mech should even attempt to follow the Humvee through, lol

A vulture has the advantage of back canted legs so it can squat. Hmmmmmmm that sounds bad doesn't it ?? OK, lets just stick to Humvees and Demolisher Tanks. Mechs need a hoist for someone to take the order and deliver anyway. AFVs are so much easier. ;D

Off Topic nevaaaaa ;D ;D ;D
Anyway, getting back on topic.
The reason the Blakists are using conventional forces is that they are ultimately a religious force. Their plan is to convert, by what ever means nessessary, whole populations to their way of thinking. Hence the name Jihad.
The WOB initial targets were where the strongest oposition would come from. IE Outreach and Wolf's Dragoons who had been actively fighting them in the Chaos March, House Capitals where people could rally around, etc. They needed to eliminate these centres quickly and with the knowledge that they could not be converted, WMDs were the fastest option.
Now they are onto more mundane targets, less important planets, etc. They need people to convert and food to eat. WMDs would go against them in the pursuit of either.
As to any other reason why they would want Sheratan, I hope we are not heading down the "Hidden Castle Brian" scenario. Only because this appears to crop up in nearly every campaign somewhere and personally I think it is a little unplausable and a bit cliche that there happens to one on nearly every planet.
Castle Brians were meant to withstand just about anything so using a WMD to wipe out the opposition would play right into the WOBs hand, then they could just walk right in without a fight and take what they want.

Don't worry Morgan; Brian Cache + Wobbie = Cliche.
(I've never been to KFC ;D)

Damn! Morgan guessed our secret formula for world domination! Actually the secret supply cache is not a Castle Brian but a hidden Sanrio Surprises store. You see, a little known fact about the Blakists is that they are absolutely nuts for Hello Kitty. That's why they haven't nuked the planet from orbit. ;D
Matthew is gonna be mad at me for giving away the surprise...

Ok, I'm officially noting that I am baffled. Whats Sanrio Surprises and Hello Kitty I don't think we have either of those here in Australia and if we do I ain't heard of em. Blake's gonna starve isn't he ? Matthews doing it on purpose because I gave his command away isn't he ?

Here's a link Morgan that will explain it all. I'm warning you, however. If you click on the link, you will experience the deepest darkest depths of the evil that is the Word of Blake! www.sanrio.com/hellokitty/
