>>19611716>>19611390If need be, a slave-taking and spoil-looting raid on /morig/ might be in order, our navy's not that advanced in shipbuilding (except our cannons) but we have many experienced sailors and marines; hitting them with a pincer assault designed to maximize economic damage may work--we'd have to land infantry elements from one AND ONLY ONE of the Utanic or Alchemilic Tagmata for coastal operations, but we will need to build another dozen open-sea transport ships to do so. If this happens, the tagma chosen will dispatch their 2nd hyperpyrores tourma, 1st and 3rd kleisouraphylakes tourmai, 8th and 12th banda of sfyriotai, and ALL of the rectrikioi. 3600 troops, who will sweep the northern half of the island IN FORCE, resupply and reinforce at the initial beach-head, (in the form of two more sfyriotai banda and two more steadfaster tourmai), before joining the nijimale forces in storming and plundering the capital. Two days to recuperate and pack everything up, and skedaddle.
We'll need faster escorts and a bigger, badder capitol ship, first.
