And war, which for a moment was no more, did glut himself again...
I thought it a bit low from the Vorlons to wait until having the ships at the right spots before daring to tell us that they don't want a NAP. And accompying this announcement by the first attacks. Probably the Vorlons are utterly scared by the IA *grin
So, war it is.
Tactical Assessment
Our main problem isn't tech but location and mobility.
We are split apart in 2 factions: east and west.
Actually we ar even more split apart because east and west will each have to face a 2- or even 3-frontier war.
Without gates the incoming attacker has a big advantage.
Our center planets are nearly indefendable.
The obvious conclusion:
Defense is not what will save our necks.
Offensive Options
Combined our enemies have a beautiful halfcircle-empire... perfect for defense with the south and east secured by the the end of the map.
Classic Warfare:
The West must straighten its frontier which means securing the Drakh HW while securing its flank at Black Hole. After having secured the Drakh HW, the fleet advances towards the Earth HW.
The Center goes into cheap defensive measure. Simple pop drops and skirmishes are the usual warfare here... until superiour VA-forces come around and finish it.
The East
Pak'ma'ra go into full defensive stance. Gates are to be reconstructed. The obvios offensive move is to secure the former Narn space and to press on until the natural gap of planets is reached (Linq-Mirror).
Sneak & Surprise Warfare:
Alternatively East and West could try to unite their forces. While going into a defensive stance along the frontiers, building a big bad CC fleet with bombers, lots of minesweepers etc and setting up gates.
Once the fleet is built, it gates to Squidcakes.
First wave has to secure the gate planet, 2nd wave brings in lots of minesweepers (actually those ships could be already included into the 1st wave), then the bombers and auxils follow.
Depending on the tactical situation the fleet advances towards the Ipsha HW, HYak HW or the Vorlon HW Abel.
Misc
Obviously we should try to pick up as much tech from the VA as possible.
