After three rounds of ties Aradia gave up and headed back to her sleeping
quarters, determined to read up on the Colonies forces and get some quick
shut eye, but a glance at the chrono told her either she take half an hours
sleep and go to the meeting without any knowledge or she stay up and read
limited that option.
Reading through the vast array of papers Aradia quickly saw that the Colonists had few Zoids but the ones they did have were in peak condition, almost good as new, intelligence showed that the Darkshift Bandits were in a worse shape, not being able to pilfer supplies from the Colonies with the tight security, it became plain to her that this was a battle born out of desperation, which could give them a lethal edge.
The chrono chimed and Aradia quickly fixed her hair, straightened her clothes and headed for the meeting on the upper level. Arriving on time the guards waved her through and the Mayor, Thor and various other important looking people were gathered around a tactical display.
"Aradia" the Mayor said hugging her, to her discomfort," Thor suggested you might be able to help with the battle plan?" Aradia glanced that the battle chart and was horrified at their apparent attempt to plan a battle. "Well if I didn't your troops would be slaughtered" she said frowning at their clumsy plans. "First of all if you're going to use Gunsnipers to snipe out the enemy you don't want to place them on that cliff because the first shot will give away their position and every single unit the Darkshifts have are going to go right up this incline here and wipe them out" she explained, "Air lift them onto this cliff so their safe them get a unit of Raptors on this cliff here, put a few Snipers in there and let them fire some rounds but keep the main force silent".
"Why do that?" the Mayor asked, "You would waste your snipers fire power" "Wrong the snipers with the Raptors would trick them into thinking your Sniper Unit was there, the come straight up and then your withdraw the Raptors and such and bomb the Bandits forces with your bombers" Aradia explained, "Then once that is done use your aerials to harass there aerials and stop them from going for the real Gunsniper position when the open fire, after they're out of ammo send in your heavy ground units".
"Interesting strategy, it seems to be based around misdirection" one of the men sitting next to the Mayor said. "Misdirection is a powerful tool, especially when Darkshift thinks that we don't have any real battle plan" Thor commented, "I say we do it" "Agreed" various voices announced and Aradia smiled openly which was a rare event. "I think I need some sleep now, goodnight" she said, standing up and yawning. "I assume your joining the battle tomorrow?" the Mayor asked Aradia nodded and then excusing herself made her way back to bed.
