Joint Assault on Pikmin 1st Recon

[X-Naut]

He has insulted both me and my ally, launched a raid on him, and scoffed at us as inferior. He must be punished!

That covers the reasons. This is what I'm sending:

+Troops:
--150 Volatile Dweevils
--120 Shearwigs
--200 Brown Pikmin
--120 Purple Pikmin
--100 White Pikmin
--16 Bumbling Snitchbugs (special)
--20 Assassin Snitchbugs (special)
--12 Careening Drigibugs (special)
+War Machines:
--2 Baqir Drill Tanks (30 days)
Ammo:
--50 Sakhr Satchels (carried by Snitchbugs)

It'll be a sneak attack due to underground movements, and I don't think White Pikmin can see more than an inch or two. Jago will be posting what he'll be sending, and I may finalize the list later, but not much.

Just a few questions: One, would 8 days be a reasonable travel time; and two, would I need any special transport? Since this is my first attack (and there's nothing in the rules about location differences), I wouldn't know any better. All knowledge is appreciated.

[Water Dumple]

You will need transport if his base is on an island or if you have to cross the ocean. The Wollywog minor race has transports for rent if you need them.

Where is the Pikmin 1st Recon's base, and where is the farther of yours? That decides the movement time.

[Makajawan]

I can mod this.

You guys will need transports: Raymond is in the forest of hope, Jago is in Awakening Wood, and X-Naut is in Wistful Wild. I'm bad at calculating travel times, but I'd say 12 days.

[Water Dumple]

Thanks, Maka.

Unfortunately the Forest of Hope and Wistful Wild are pretty much the two farthest areas apart. I'd say 16-20 days.

[Makajawan]

Yeah, sorry about that. I zoned out and calculated it from Valley of Repose. I'd say 16 then.

[Lord Raymond]

well i have radar and white pikmin, so underground is gonna probably get detected. Ill send my plans to you Maka.

MODIFY: Could I get my ally to help defend? Not that I need to, since pikmin are so much better (sorry had to), but just wondering.

[Makajawan]

I don't believe you have any way to suspect the attack. If you do, then your ally would probably arrive first. As it stands, I don't think so.

[X-Naut]

Yeah, we're pretty much traveling underground, and I considering I spent part of a 40-day project on 6-inch underground sight, I don't think you'll be able to see more than half of that. We can just burrow under your whites' FOV.

Okay, 16 days is "reasonable" given circumstances. And I'll go rent some transports.

EDIT: Okay, I don't have enough money. Neither does Jago... let's see now.

We have: 108 + 33 = 141
3 vehicles= 100 petals
690 ordinary + 48 specials = 240 petals (not counting Jago's troops)

I'm going to guess the total will be... 500 petals. Our combined earnings are 100 petals per 4 days.

So, it will take an extra 16-20 days. If I get anything in the meantime, that will help.

I don't think radar really works underground, unless it was specifically designed to do so, such as, Ground Penetrating radar. Would we need transports though since we are traveling underground? The drill transports that we have could ferry some units and the others could walk inside of the tunnel we dug right?

Troops:
40 Male Sheargrubs
40 Female Sheargrubs
100 Sirviats
30 Dwarf Polar Lacitra
5 Polar Lacitra (Special
10 Spiny Lacitra (Special)
20 Razor Kitang (Special)
War Machine:
Subterranian drill tank
Weapons:
120 Iron Swords

[Makajawan]

I believe the ocean is too deep to tunnel underneath, but I've been wrong before.

Sorry about the location mistake; I could picture it in my head (the snowy one), but something died between my brain and the keys.

No, you're right about that. Going under the ocean would mean going down...what, a mile or more? I don't know how deep the Pacific/Atlantic oceans are in general, but it's nothing in human capacity at the moment.

I could let you rent my transports for cheaper, but a certain couple of people are against that.

[X-Naut]

Adding Jago's to mine:

4 War Machines: 100 petals
690+210=900 Ordinaries: 160 petals
48+35 Specials=83 Specials: 160 petals
One extra transport from the surplus: 80 petals
Total: Yup, 500.

And WD, I made a market topic. I recommend anyone willing to loan or sell transports to look at it.

[lovethepikmin]

Its is mostly about 2 miles deep WD. I have my Super X-2 If anyone needs help. Also my new special Bombing Run offer is up and Pilot Leafy wants to blow something up.

[Lord Raymond]

HEY DONT BOMB MEH! It also probably won't work too well, radar will pick it up.

[lovethepikmin]

Do I looks like a care about radar..? Everyone has it.

Dats yz I iz making more bombers!

It probably wont catch on.

Good luck to you guys.
