Which frigate in particular attempted the ramming? To clarify the two frigates that were on station were FFH-205 Travis Agthoven and FFH-207 Raphaël Van Horn.
Neat map, Menna.

When I get off work tonight I’ll edit it, wasn’t my intention to make them cartoonishly, and will rewrite that as well, just lots of old generals learned one way of doing things and can’t see a better option, WW1, WW2, Korea, Vietnam, both Gulf Wars all have cases of old style generals not wanting to learn new things . Once again I’ll fix it tonight.

Don't worry about editing it, we'll assume the week was used moving men up the river. It's fine, I had a post I wanted to do about that but I can ditch it and skip to the attack proper once Mik posts.
I didn't mean to be intense about this, but every mention of the Mennan plan by others has played up how dumb it is, especially Mik's posts, and while that's partially the point, it kind of felt like it was just getting piled on. It was kind of slipping to a point where it felt like it wasn't the characters being called dumb but the writer, if you catch my drift. Also, the week of waiting wasn't an intentional choice made IC, it's because of OOC waiting, so that was also a bit weird to me.
The plan Shala came up with works if you have his exact mindset, namely that casualties don't matter if you can drown the enemy in a tide of bodies. He's not stupid, he just doesn't give a shit about keeping his men alive.

Wellsia wrote:Just read Miklania's post, just to give you my idea of the defenders, In my opinion the San Javerian consist of a 'brigade' of some 500 men with only 200 or less actually being soldiers per say, and many of them untrained conscripts. They have only their rifles and one RPG per 20 men, also there are dozen technicals (pickup trucks mounting twin heavy machine guns or a recoilless rifle). This part is completely up to the approval of Menna Shuli. The Wellsians are a Mi'at or half-company of 3 officers and 102 other ranks. one section of 17 is stationed in the building northwest of the town, closest to the flood zone, the rest of the 1st platoon (32 men) is near the vineyard, the second platoon and command unit (56 men) in the village as a general reserve. There is no one in the church. I know it would make a tactical strong point, but it is against Wellsian culture to use a holy place as a military point. The Wellsians have 22 light mortars (18 x 37 mm and 4 x 50 mm) and 10 x 7.62 mm machine guns (8 light SAW, and 2 MMG), plus 2 x 90 mm RR.

Also, are we starting the naval encounters now? I haven't seen Thuz post much about his movements and Dothrakia is already claiming a run-in between a Doraltic frigate and a Thuzbek corvette.
