But but but... people actually talk like that!
6187545
That's why I didn't point that one out.
6187545
Fine. for Big mac, I can understand.
us southerners talk weird.
Herding:
penguins don't understand teleportation.

Funny you mention herding. I wanted pony airship tactics to resemble real world equine defense tactics. That is, you gather together and deal with threats as they approach, or you flee in a herd.
6187622 I was pointing to penguins
because horse jokes are overused.
penguins group together for warmth and stuff.
I dunno.
I'm not a penguin.

Penguins are awesome. Not only do they herd together, but when threatened, they throw the elderly and the infirm to predators to buy themselves time to escape.
6187635 heh.
Cruel bastards.
but hey, you gotta do what you gotta do to live, right?
Ah, the good ol' teleporting airship. I haven't seen one of those since my party with the Artificer in it.
No one ever fucking expects a teleporting airship.

Is it wrong that I busted out laughing when i read that comment ??
Well that tactic hopefully won't work again. I would've thought there would have been some sort of anti-teleportion array around the fleet to keep out assassins at least. I will let this one slide for now due to the fact that teleporting kamikaze airships are few and far between.

There are shields around most ships, but only around the ship. And only when needed, because of the power drain. Unicorns can create anti teleportation wards, but those only effect the immediate area.
Makes me realize more and more justhow primitivet this war will be. They have no military theory. Their tactics are not yet adapted to the new war theatre so they basically have to use old ideas for new realities. It's Like trying to make a steam engine run on gasoline.
This will be a very bloody war And until Bucky can adapt to the new war, they are sitting ducklings
It'd be nice to see at least one overwhelming victory against the mirror travelers. It seems like most victories against them have been pyrrhic in nature though. They've won nothing, merely delayed the inevitable.
I'd thought that the story was past it's darkest most uncertain point and that things would start to look up for Bucky and the others, but it seems like the "body count per confrontation" is only increasing with time. That their preemptive strike is getting blown up by the dozens is not encouraging in the least.

Bucky taking out the Element of Obedience was pretty straight forward as a win.
And when this chapter started, I was kinda hoping Bucky would find himself a bitch wife.
OK-- see, I understand Celestia's reasoning. "Don't use overwhelming power because it scares the other nations. Show restraint because fire knows neither friend nor foe."
And yet, they know their enemies are in an area, they know that area is dug in and full of an army that is going to kick their ass, and that area is a mountain range that they could evacuate. Twilight, not even the embodiment of the Sun, called down solar flares and annihilated the gryphon cities. If Celestia really wanted to, really said "FUCK IT", she could end the threat in that area utterly without a single allied life lost simply by slamming down a meteor barrage. Or even better, call down a beam of sunfire so intense that the sky darkens for a moment and reduces the mountains to slag. Sure, doing so would have far reaching consequences, but the capacity is there. And that's just sheer brute force.
It's like... She's so used to not getting directly involved she's forgotten how to involve herself.
Oh...... That makes me really sad, ugh. Change formation! I can't remember what those samurai formation were called except for anvil which would be a terrible decision here.
Yet even more evidence that every one of the non-slave mirror travelers needs to be wiped out... preferably in as painful a fashion as possible.

After she does that, they could always blame Bucky like they did at the Griffin capitols. Since he's taken the blame once, it's only logical to the uninformed that he has the capacity to do it a second time.
Shit.
Shit shit shit, this one looks like it's gonna be a real fight.
1:30 - 2:00. I couldn't find an English version of just that part.
A big part of fighting the Mirror Travelers is that their ways of fighting are EXTREMELY different and unfathomable. It's not just advanced technology, but the extremes that they are willing to go for victory. These kamikaze strikes with unicorns are something that Equestrians have little experience with, they have very little understanding of. It puts them at a severe disadvantage in not only dealing with the unknown, but also an enemy that is willing to go to further extremes.
Actually what Bucky SHOULD be doing is looking at cues from technology and tactics that the Old Evil Griffons used. Like having a disposable unicorn to teleport them in under wards. Having a unicorn to power up a personal shield. Etc.
The enemy have unicorn servitors, Its like bucky is fighting a 41st millennium imperial fleet.
