Semper ad Meliora - Chinese Federation Invasion 6
Added 2023-03-27 10:38:02 +0000 UTCFinishing touches on this took a little longer than expected, but it's down now! Man, those rolls hurt. Thankfully, though, following through with the 'path to victory' will only benefit from very high rolls and do all your allies good.
No, really, suffer as I have suffered.
Feel my pain. Kaguya certainly has.

I think it's basically a matter of optics and political fall-out if Lelouch becomes personally involved. There's not much to manage if he stays in command: the city is governing itself fine, Kaguya is handling the Diplomacy, while Military-wise we just need to maintain a stalemate with the Japanese fleet. The only factors remaining in play are the fleeing Eunuchs. Sending Lelouch = handling the very sensitive matter of the body double directly and immediately make plans based on that.

2023-03-27 19:38:27 +0000 UTCSo what do we stand to gain by having Lelouch go? It seems like a very canon Lelouch thing to do. Could he use his psionic powers to rescue the body double if they try to use her as a hostage? Maybe figuring out what's going on more quickly would let him negotiate with the Japanese fleet? It looks like Kaguya has the Japanese situation in hand, so maybe there's no need for Lelouch to stay in command. But that's the kind of thinking that constantly got canon Lelouch in trouble...

2023-03-27 17:16:23 +0000 UTCDamn Kaguya has my sympathy, her worldview is constantly getting shattered by circumstances outside of her control. Her dreams for Japan are likely in tatters... if we social her after this and provide a shoulder for her to cry on... I suspect she'd pivot fully into Lelouch's camp.

2023-03-27 15:40:30 +0000 UTCI have to say one thing. Kaguya personal action after this is a must. She is the MVP of this invasion. I wonder if we brought our only flight capable KMF with us that has space for two to catch the boat. If not then we can only count on Lelouch ninja Jesus imitation of running on water to catch the boat. Which would be cool since Lelouch isn't getting much combat action out of all his training. Unless Nunnally upgraded her KMF ship hoping skills to KMF water skiing with some fast attack boats used to tow her.

2023-03-27 13:14:01 +0000 UTCPoor slayer. Those rolls are pure poison to your plans as the legend of Lelouch overtakes the reality that none of this invasion insanity should be working so damn well. Are you sure you didn't offend the gacha/RNG gods somewhen ? Meanwhile did I get this right and Suzaku is going for a relationship with the double ? That is just... it is actually in character since the dude is a walking disaster in being lol.
